Chapter 40: The Test
"This can't be!" Zhang Dongyue didn't expect that the woman in white was going to kill her good brother Zhu Yuan as soon as she opened her mouth, but Zhang Dongyue blurted out and refused.
"You think clearly, he is an immortal cultivator, and you are a demon cultivator. You are destined to be enemies. You let him go today, and you will regret it in the future. The woman in white said lightly.
"I don't regret it! He's my good brother, and I can't do anything to my good brother. I also believe that we will be good brothers forever. Zhang Dongyue said firmly.
"It's your own decision. You can not kill him, but he can only stay here and not go any deeper. As she spoke, the woman in white waved her hand and released a protective shield to cover Zhu Yuan inside. "Until I let you out, you're honestly staying inside. Otherwise, you do so at your own risk. ”
"The next test can't be known to immortal cultivators, you come with me. "The woman in white's attitude towards Zhang Dongyue is obviously much better than that of Zhu Yuan.
"Brother Zhu Yuan is okay there!" Zhang Dongyue asked worriedly, the woman in white in front of him hated immortal cultivators so much, he was really worried about what he would do to Zhu Yuan after he left.
"As long as he doesn't come out of this shield, there will be no problem. The woman in white didn't care about Zhu Yuan's life or death at all, and said lightly.
......
Soon, the woman in white took Zhang Dongyue to the next place of test.
"The master left a total of three tests for his personal disciples. The previous one you have passed. The previous test was mainly to distinguish between demon cultivators and immortal cultivators, and only demon cultivators could pass the test to reach here. If it is an immortal cultivator, even if it passes the test, it will be taken to another place. There, immortal cultivators would be attacked by the entire formation and die. The woman in white said.
"It's dangerous! I'm glad I used Hyakki. He has also already switched to the Demon Dao Exercises. Fortunately, this is the case, and the Zhu Yuan brothers came with me without incident. Zhang Dongyue said secretly.
"The following test is to test your Dao heart. There you go. The woman in white continued. Immediately, the woman in white waved her sleeves. In front of it suddenly appeared a bridge.
"Go up to this bridge. Go to the other side and you've passed the test. The woman in white pointed to the bridge in front of her and said to Zhang Dongyue.
"Yes. Zhang Dongyue bowed and saluted.
Immediately, Zhang Dongyue walked towards the bridge. I saw three big words on the bridge: "Bridge of Desire". Zhang Dongyue didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately went to the bridge deck. He also knew that the date agreed between Zhu Yuan and Tian Xin'er had arrived, and Zhu Yuan was embarrassed to say that he couldn't pretend to be confused. Zhu Yuan definitely didn't want to ruin his opportunity, so he didn't say it, and wanted to pass the test with peace of mind. However, he must pass the test as soon as possible, and he can't let Zhu Yuan miss the day when he gets together with Tian Xin'er. Therefore, Zhang Dongyue immediately got on the Desire Bridge without thinking about it.
"I'm really anxious. I don't ask what the specific test is at this level. The woman in white muttered to herself.
Bridge of Desire, as the name suggests. The bridge is filled with endless desires that tempt you to sink. Even demonic cultivators have to cultivate the Dao mind, and the heart is the most elusive and very difficult to cultivate. Whether the Dao Heart is strong or not has nothing to do with the realm, it is possible that a mortal's Dao Heart is abnormally strong, but an immortal's Dao Heart is not as good as an ordinary mortal. The Demon Dao Cultivator himself acts according to his own wishes, and is more susceptible to temptation from the outside world, and his Dao heart tends to be dark. And if the demonic monk indulges in all kinds of desires. If you indulge yourself, you will really become a complete demon. And the test of this level is to choose people who are truly determined by the Dao, so that they can go further on the path of cultivation.
As soon as Zhang Dongyue got on the Bridge of Desire, he was greeted by a graceful and beautiful woman. The swaying dance made people excited and fascinated, and Zhang Dongyue involuntarily stepped forward and took off her veil. instantly startled Zhang Dongyue.
This person is none other than the Mulian Fairy. It's just that he changed his clothes, and his expression and demeanor were different from before, so Zhang Dongyue didn't recognize it immediately. In fact, Zhang Dongyue likes Mulian deep down. So, he couldn't help but want to reach out and touch the face of Mulian in front of him.
Just when Zhang Dongyue's hand was about to touch Mu Lian. He immediately stopped. He knew it was all fake, it was all fantasy. This illusion is to use the person you like the most to tempt yourself. In fact. Even if he knew that it was fake, Zhang Dongyue wanted to touch the Mulian in front of him, but he couldn't. Because the most important thing is that Mulian is the perfect woman in his mind, a goddess-like existence, and he can't blaspheme his goddess like this. Not even a fake.
"Why don't you touch me, don't you like me?" asked Mu Lian in front of her complainingly.
"Can you hug me?" Mulian said pleadingly, tears coming out of her eyes. It makes people feel distressed to watch.
"No, you can't. Zhang Dongyue suppressed the impulse in his heart and categorically refused.
"People really like you, I really want you to hug them. At this time, Mulian's tears had already fallen, but she didn't seem to know.
"Can you let me hug you? Mu Lian retreated to the next best, wanting to seduce Zhang Dongyue little by little.
"If you really are her, I do. It's a pity you're not. Zhang Dongyue said resolutely.
Suddenly, a sword appeared in Zhang Dongyue's hand, and then a sword pierced Mu Lian's heart.
"Why?" Before she died, Mu Lian's face was full of incredulity, and she looked at Zhang Dongyue with a look of grief.
"Don't act again, you're not her, not after all. Zhang Dongyue said. "Actually, I want to stay with you a little longer, but I'm afraid that I'll sink. Zhang Dongyue whispered to himself.
Then, Zhang Dongyue took a step forward. At this time, a middle-aged man came from the opposite side. Zhang Dongyue's eyes immediately turned red, this person was the murderer who killed his parents and the whole village, the real person who escaped from the blood rain. Zhang Dongyue was eager to eat his flesh, drink his blood, and suck his bones.
"Hahaha...... I'm going to kill your parents, what? You're going to take revenge? You're still far away. The Blood Rain real man laughed wildly.
"Sooner or later, one day I will kill you with my own hands. Zhang Dongyue said. Since experiencing the matter of his parents, after Zhu Yuan's constant enlightenment, Zhang Dongyue has already seen it. He wants to work hard with Zhu Yuan to cultivate and save his relatives. There was only one goal in mind.
"A coward who only knows how to speak ruthlessly!" "Blood Rain Zhenren continued to stimulate Zhang Dongyue.
Zhang Dongyue was unmoved, he knew that as long as he committed hatred, he would really sink, and he would not be able to pass the test at that time. This is also the brilliance of this phantom array, allowing you to know that all this is fake, but it is a little bit of softness that touches the depths of your heart, and has to change with it. Tempting you to sink step by step. Now, Zhang Dongyue's Dao heart is extremely firm, and he is not moved at all.
Blood Rain Zhenren tried everything he could not shake Zhang Dongyue in the slightest, and even he attacked Zhang Dongyue, but Zhang Dongyue only tried his best to defend. But it just couldn't shake Zhang Dongyue's heart. Finally in an attack, Zhang Dongyue suddenly gave up resisting, and the blood rain real person stabbed Zhang Dongyue's body with a sword. However, Zhang Dongyue had no scars on his body at all. Zhang Dongyue smiled wickedly at the Blood Rain Real Man, and then the Blood Rain Real Man disappeared. It turned out that Zhang Dongyue had already broken through this illusion, and he did this on purpose just now.
......
At this time, Tian Xin'er was already very close to Zhu Yuan and them. They may have taken different paths, but in general terms of their itinerary, they were about the same distance from the junction of the Outlands and the Inner Lands.
However, Zhu Yuan can't leave now. Zhang Dongyue has not returned. The Natal Soul Card of Zhang Dongyue in his hand has always been intact, indicating that Zhang Dongyue is not in a very dangerous situation. Then he could only wait for Zhang Dongyue to pass the test and come out. In fact, the natal soul cards that they exchanged with each other as early as when they left the Qingyun Sect were reserved for later use.
Now, Zhu Yuan can't let Zhang Dongyue stay here alone to take risks. In case a Dongyue encounters a danger to his life when he passes the test, he can be rescued at any time if he is close. Moreover, the ban that the woman in white set for herself, if she breaks it, she will definitely be discovered. Zhu Yuan was worried that this would affect Zhang Dongyue's test, so he stayed inside to understand his own exercises and swordsmanship. No attempt was made to break the ban.
Zhang Dongyue has always been firm in his Dao heart on the bridge of desire that has been tested step by step, and he has not sunk. Finally passed the test of the Bridge of Desire. At this time, Tian Xin'er and the others had already arrived at the junction of the inner and outer regions.
"Congratulations on passing the second level. The woman in white said with a smile on her face.
"Thank you. What is the test of the next level?" Zhang Dongyue knew that time was pressing, and he couldn't wait to ask.
"Are you really anxious, don't you want to take a break first?" said the woman in white in surprise, usually passing the test of this second level will be exhausted, and she needs to recuperate for a few days. Unexpectedly, as soon as this person came out, he had to participate in the third level of the test.
"No, I'm in a hurry. There can be no further delay. Zhang Dongyue was afraid that she would not agree, so he said immediately.
"Okay. You come with me. The woman in white said.
"The first two levels are a test of strength and Dao heart. The third level is a test of your understanding. If your understanding is too low, you will not be able to pass the test. The woman in white knew that Zhang Dongyue was in a hurry, and said as she walked. This is also because she was very surprised by Zhang Dongyue's performance on the Bridge of Desire. So I am very optimistic about Zhang Dongyue.
"No, that's it. The woman in white pointed to a stone wall in front of her. (To be continued......)
