Chapter Eighty-Seven: Phantoms
Cheng Yun lifted the paintbrush and swayed it on the rice paper, portraying a man with a lofty instrument, this man has no resemblance to Yu Tiangang, Cheng Yun thought about it, and drew auspicious clouds and flying white cranes in it, and even used magic to make the man have a little more charm, as if he was a real person.
"Yes, yes, you have finally opened your eyes now, the old man is so heroic, it is your honor to be able to draw it!" After these monks finished the portraits, Yu Tiangang collected the portraits and watched, nodding his head while watching, and praising them non-stop.
Sixty percent of the monks who have completed the portrait have been completed, and after seeing the portrait painted by the thin monk, these monks have given up portraying the true appearance of Yu Tiangang, and instead painted handsome and majestic men.
Most of the remaining forty percent of the monks have not even completed their first portraits, so they are still working hard to paint.
"Seventy percent of the juniors have completed the portrait, and the rest will be eliminated!" After a few hours, Yu Tiangang made a move with one hand, and the white paper in the hands of the monk who completed the portrait flew towards Yu Tiangang.
Yu Tiangang looked at these portraits, nodded and smiled, and shot many seals towards the sky, and each time he made a seal, a pillar of light descended from the sky to the plain, enveloping a monk.
Every monk who was shrouded in the pillar of light was a person who had not completed the portrait, and after the strange power of the pillar of light worked, they were reported out of the plain where the place of trial was located.
"Brother Fang, you are the first person to pass this first level, you must be famous, junior brother admire!
"Fang Daoyou, you are cautious, find another way, and admire it tightly!"
The first thin monk to complete the portrait was named Fang Zhe, although he was not the first person to complete the portrait, but he was the first monk to pass the first level of the trial, and he became the first person to pass the trial under the watchful eye, which naturally made the other monks look sideways.
Some of the monks who knew him approached him and exchanged pleasantries with him, Fang Zhe kept smiling as he dealt with these monks.
In addition, there were also some monks who were quite disdainful of Fang Zhe, and there were not a few who secretly mocked them.
"I didn't expect that the method taught by the old man would really work!" Fang Zhe laughed secretly in his heart.
Before leaving, Fang Zhe's master once said to him: "Zhe'er, the elder who presided over the trial this time is the old boy of Yu Tiangang! He has known each other since he was a child, in this trial, if he has any strange requirements, you will pay attention to his words, in addition, he is extremely concerned about his appearance, you need to keep it in mind, in the trial, it may be useful!"
Fang Zhe witnessed that the monk who had completed the portrait was refuted by Yu Tiangang, and remembered what his master had said, so he portrayed Yu Tiangang's appearance as a handsome young man, and he was really favored by Yu Tiangang.
"Tan Yanzi's old thing! It must be a hint from the other party's junior!" Yu Tiangang combined all the portraits into a blank piece of paper, and then reached out and raised the brush in his hand and waved it a few times, and the brush in the hands of all the monks moved slightly and dissipated.
"Junior Fang Zhe, you are the first person to complete the portrait among the trialists of the first level, the first person in each level can have some cultivation, and in this second level, you can break through alone! This is the old man's reward for you. Yu Tiangang put the brush and rice paper into the storage bag, and under the seal of his hands, he continued to make complicated prints towards the sky.
There was a roar in the sky, and an apricot yellow pillar of light descended, and after the pillar of light shone, a small dark door appeared.
"Junior Fang Zhe, step into this gate, after this gate, it will be the trial of the second level!" Yu Tiangang said to Fang Zhe in the distance.
Fang Zhe showed surprise on his face, stepped forward a few steps, and opened the small door, behind the small door was a void, there was endless black smoke wrapped in it, Fang Zhe fixed his mind, stepped into the small door, and was engulfed by the nothingness.
After Fang Zhe entered the small door, Yu Tiangang raised his hand and pointed at the small door, the outline of the small door gradually blurred until it dissipated, and then he pointed to the ground, and a roar sounded again in the sky, and ten pillars of light of different colors descended, and among the pillars of light, ten identical small doors appeared in everyone's sight.
"When you step into it, you will return to this place again through the trial. Yu Tiangang said to the other monks.
Cheng Yun's eyes moved, and he chose the small door closest to him, he came to the small door, pushed open the small door, there was nothing inside, just endless gloom, and in that gloom, there was an inexplicable attraction that attracted the monks in front of him to step into it.
"The power in this door, I'm familiar with it. Cheng Yun took a step back silently and gave up his position to the other monks.
At this moment, there were more than 500 monks, and one by one they pushed open the small door and stepped into it.
Among them, dozens of monks paused in front of the door, and each time one of them did, Yu Tiangang would glance in the direction of this person from a distance, but when the monk stepped into it, he was no longer interested, and he no longer paid attention.
"Go, go, go! It's just a group of mediocre people, the first person in this level must be my Wei Yi!" Wei Yi also got out of the way after frowning slightly when he walked in front of the small door, and did not step into it, he was slightly happy in his heart, and looked at the other monks coldly.
"If it weren't for the magic weapon given by the master, I would have learned the Tao of Yu Tiangang! This old ghost is really as weird as rumored!" After watching Zhu Han and the other monks step into the small door one after another, Di Ming also stopped, looking at the void in the door, and laughed secretly in his heart.
In addition, Hua Chen did not enter the small gate, and out of more than five hundred monks, only these four stayed in place.
Yu Tiangang looked at the four of them, smiled slightly, and waved his hand to scatter the six small doors, leaving only four small doors.
"You wait for the four of you, why don't you step into it? Don't you want to pass the trial?" Yu Tiangang put away his smile and asked the four of them.
"It's just a magic trick! how can you deceive me!" Di Ming said mockingly, and around his waist, there was a piece of jade emitting a faint glimmer, and that glimmer was as gentle as water, enveloping Di Ming.
The other three remained silent and did not speak, just quietly looked at Yu Tiangang without saying a word.
"Yuhua jade! your master is willing to give you such a magic weapon to protect yourself, but just a piece of Yuhua jade, the old man still doesn't care about it!" Yu Tiangang sneered and pointed at Di Ming, the brilliance of that piece of Yuhua jade instantly dimmed, and Di Ming's face also changed greatly.
Di Ming looked at the small door, and when he saw the void again, his face changed slightly, but after a moment, he still calmed down.
"If you enter the door at this moment, the old man can still give you a chance!" Yu Tiangang looked at the four of them, without the slightest hint of laughter on his face, full of majesty and heaviness.
As soon as Yu Tiangang's words came out, Hua Chen, Di Ming and Wei Yi couldn't help but look towards the small door, when they saw the scene in the small door, they were all shocked, and after weighing, they took a few steps and entered the small door, and were swallowed up by the void.
"Senior Cheng Yun, have you seen it?" Yu Tiangang's face did not change, he still had that solemn and majestic appearance, if he let someone familiar see it, he would definitely be surprised.
Cheng Yun looked at Yu Tiangang, turned around, and clenched his fist at an open space behind him and said, "Seniors, don't tease juniors anymore!"
The figure of Yu Tiangang, who was originally behind Cheng Yun, suddenly disappeared, and not far from the direction where Cheng Yun was now standing, a Yu Tiangang holding a wine pot and gnawing on a chicken leg sat on top of a big stone and looked at Cheng Yun with a smile.
Yu Tiangang finished gnawing the chicken leg in three or two times, and poured the wine in the wine jug into his mouth, then he glanced at Cheng Yun meaningfully, and asked: "At a young age, it is not easy to have such cultivation, the old man did not expect that your state of mind is even more amazing than his cultivation, and among the juniors present, I am afraid that you are the only one who can see through it." ”
At this moment, Yu Tiangang was the same as before, with a playful appearance, quite disrespectful to the old, this is the familiar Yu Tiangang that Cheng Yun felt.
"The mood of the younger generation has improved a little by chance, so that I can be lucky enough to see the true body of the senior. Cheng Yun said with a fist in front of him.
Cheng Yun mastered the power of deception of the true spirit, and he honed it in Lu Ruohan's illusion soul technique between life and death, and the cultivation of his state of mind had surpassed that of ordinary monks a lot, he saw that the Yu Tiangang who had a serious appearance before was just a phantom, and the real Yu Tiangang had been watching the performance of these monks in an inconspicuous corner as if watching a play.
In fact, Cheng Yun's own state of mind is still not enough to see through Yu Tiangang's phantom, although Yu Tiangang did it at will, but his cultivation exceeded Cheng Yun too much, and with Cheng Yun's strength, it was impossible to see that the previous Yu Tiangang's figure was a phantom.
When Cheng Yun exerted the power of blood eyes, he once saw the traces of the legendary life, this is a great opportunity, Cheng Yun was seriously injured because of this, and fell into an extremely weak state, until after taking the dream spirit san, he recovered from his injury, and saw a trace of life, this trace of trajectory is just a vague outline, but this outline has made Cheng Yun's eyes have a change, and Cheng Yun is able to see the phantom of Yu Tiangang because of this change.
