Chapter 40: Cruelty
Wearing a purple robe, Yu Ruochen, whose head was casually tied to the back of his head with a dark ribbon, stood quietly on a huge field.
The floor of this flat field with a radius of hundreds of zhang seems to be all cast of gold and iron, shining with a faint luster, so that people can feel the coldness, hardness and heaviness unique to gold and iron at a glance.
The height of the terrain here is almost level with the sea of clouds, so that every inch of the ground floats with a faint mist like a white light veil.
The entire square was empty except for Yu Ruochen, who stood quietly. But around the square, there is a huge square tripod every twenty zhang, and a faint light smoke is lit in the ding, and the taste is fragrant and the smoke is not dispersed.
The square is north is a hundred steps, this ladder is also cast of gold and iron, each step has a deep groove as the effect of anti-slip and water conduction, on the top of the hundred steps is a main body of the vermilion temple, a huge red vermilion pillar supports the black glazed cornice, vermilion and black, the vermilion main temple is all white marble fence in front of it, and this temple is followed by a steep canyon, the second half of the temple is submerged into the canyon, under the background of the steep canyon on both sides, the temple is like a pearl in the mussel shell, a thin waterfall flies down from the gorge wall on one side, and adds a bit of agility to this templeγ
Although this palace is not as magnificent and atmospheric as the giant hall in the belly of Luofu Mountain, it looks extremely delicate and gorgeous.
Yu Ruochen stood motionless on the square made of gold and iron, slowly connecting with the twilight of the entire Shushan Heaven and Earth, regardless of each other. It's as if the whole person is integrated into the world around him.
Heaven and man are one.
Up and down his body, Yu Ruochen, who couldn't see the slightest fluctuation of mana, also entered the realm of the unity of heaven and man.
Suddenly, a red line in the distance rushed into the sky, spreading out into dozens of red rays of light, which was the Flying Flame Talisman cast by Dan Lingsheng to summon his disciples back to gather.
Yu Ruochen suddenly raised his head slightly, looking at the scattered glow.
With this slight movement, Yu Ruochen broke away from the surrounding heaven and earth.
The realm of the unity of heaven and man has been broken.
"Yuan Tianyi has passed my current realm thirty years ago, and I am still inferior to him. Yu Ruochen, who quietly looked at the glow, sighed slowly.
A bright sword light suddenly rushed from the direction of Tianzhu Peak, and fell far below the feather dust on the square.
"Uncle!"
Dressed in a black robe, the person who came saluted Yu Ruochen, but it was the end of the world with a cold face.
"Do you think this method is too cruel for them?" Yu Ruochen nodded at Broken Tianya and said suddenly.
"Uncle Shi, do you already know my intention?" Duan Tianya nodded, and said silently: "No one is wrong, they have not been tempered, it is normal to be greedy for life and afraid of death, maybe given the opportunity, they can also become the backbone of Shushan in the future." β
"Of course you're saying that, that's good. Yu Ruochen looked at the end of the world gently, and then looked at the Shu Mountain shrouded in twilight, "The original Tianyi fell in Kunlun, and even the Elezong opened the Great Brahma Mandala Wall in order to protect himself. Kunlun has been moving for days, since yesterday to collect disciples, and sent hundreds of elite disciples to come out of the world to practice, although I don't know why, but the great change has been made, my Shushan has been on the cusp, not we are cruel, it is the general trend of the world, we have to be so. β
Although Yu Ruochen's voice was warm and plain, Duan Tianya could hear that it was full of killing and fierceness, and Duan Tianya was still silent, but his fists couldn't help but clench slightly.
"In some days, it's the sword recognition conference. Yu Ruochen suddenly smiled and looked at the empty square, "When the time comes, this place will be full of my Shushan disciples again, I don't know if anyone will surprise us this time." β
After a pause, Yu Ruochen smiled again and said, "Every year, we will usher in such a day in Shushan, I just ask that I can stand here every year and watch such a day." β
In the night, as far as the eye can see, the sky in the distance is windy and cloudy.
"Where am I?"
Luo Bei sat up suddenly.
A faint ray of sunlight poured in through the painted window lattice, and it was already early in the morning.
"What about that black-robed monster named Lu Yu? Could it be Uncle Dan Lingsheng who saved me?"
Luo Bei, who was full of suspicion, looked at this empty room, only a blue-yellow soft mat made of unknown straw, and a plate of purple incense burning, and pushed open the window in front of him, but he was taken aback again.
Outside the window, there is a thick sea of clouds!
The room where Luo Bei is located is actually on a cliff that sticks out of the air! Outside the window, there is an abyss!
With a "creak", Luo Bei pushed open the door of this room.
Outside the door is a courtyard with a radius of more than ten zhang, and the ground of the courtyard is a natural flat whole mountain stone.
The courtyard is surrounded by a general room like the one where Luobei is located, overlapping and overlapping, with a total of five floors.
Surrounded by five-story buildings, all simple and heavy, facing a dark door of the heavy building, hanging a plaque about four zhang long.
"Taoism and Nature"
Four big characters of wild grass, like a broken plaque flying out.
Dan Lingsheng stood in the middle of the four heavy buildings, in the middle of the courtyard.
Dan Lingsheng's face with terrifying scars still looked shocking, which made people feel cold, but there seemed to be a warm look in his eyes.
"Picking?"
Luo Bei pushed open the door, and looked at the place in front of him in front of him that he had never been to a little stunned, and he was now pushing open the door next door to him at this time, and Cai Shu, who had the same look of surprise on his face, also looked at himself with the same eyes.
"Uncle Dan Lingsheng, what the hell is going on, I met a black-robed monster in Tianzhu Peak, and he said that he was Luyu from Beiyin Mountain.... β
Luo Bei, who was in the room on the ground floor, walked out, and immediately asked Dan Lingsheng, who was standing not far in front of him.
But Dan Lingsheng just waved his hand, so that Luo Bei didn't have to say much.
Luo Bei and Cai Shu stood in the early morning sunshine and couldn't help but glance at each other, at this time, the doors of the surrounding rooms opened one after another, and some of the rooms that had not yet been opened let out a nightmarish exclamation.
"Senior Brother Lin Hang!"
Among the people who came out, Luo Bei saw Lin Hang with a somewhat pale face at a glance, and couldn't help but pull Lin Hang at the moment, and asked secretly, "Senior Brother Lin Hang, what happened?"
"No....I don't know.... Lin Hang was a little surprised, and shook his head a little dazed, and stammered to explain, "I....I....I met a person in Tianzhu Peak, and he said that he was from the Beiyin Gate.... β
"What, you also met the Beiyin Gate?!"
Although Lin Hang's words stammered, this sentence was like a powder keg exploded in the hearts of Luobei and Cai Shu who heard it!
"What the hell is going on?!" Luo Bei couldn't help but turn around and ask Dan Lingsheng loudly.
This voice was so loud that it attracted everyone's attention, and they all gathered on Dan Lingsheng and Luo Bei.
"If you're not stupid, you should have figured it out by now. Dan Lingsheng just glanced at Luobei, then lowered his eyes and said lightly, "How can the people of Beiyin Gate sneak into Shushan." This so-called Beiyin Gate is just a test for you. β
"Boom", an uproar!
Luo Bei looked at the looks on other people's faces, and knew that they must have met the so-called Luyu of the Beiyin Gate just like himself.
"What will happen to those who fail the test?" Someone suddenly couldn't help but ask, Luo Bei's eyes swept over, it was Ling Dongshan, whose face was also a little pale.
"He didn't agree to poison Dan Lingsheng, Senior Brother Lin Hang can be here, obviously too... β
Luo Bei had just had such a thought in his mind when he heard Dan Lingsheng say coldly, "Those who have not passed the trial will not be disciples of Shushan from today onwards." β
"Expelled from the division directly!"
Luo Bei's fists tightened suddenly, and all the people had gathered at this moment, but he saw that there were only six people left around him, including himself, and even Zixuan Valley was not among them.
The fate of these people can be imagined.
"Is this punishment too heavy?" Luo Bei couldn't help but look at Dan Lingsheng and asked.
"Too heavy?" Dan Ling didn't raise his head, and said silently, "Why are you here, but they are not here?" Yesterday, you were familiar with the laws of Shushan, don't you know that it is a taboo in Shushan to be greedy for profit in everything and participate in the cruelty of everything in the same family?"
Luo Bei was speechless.
Indeed, he couldn't find any reason to refute Dan Lingsheng. But his chest couldn't help but feel a little empty.
Because he was also the same as the broken world who pleaded with Yu Ruochen, he suddenly felt that although some people were wrong, they should be given another chance.
"It's a good thing to be kind. β
Dan Lingsheng's eyes swept over Luo Bei's face again, and his voice sounded again without the slightest feeling, "But if you have practiced for a long time and have some experience, you will know that cultivation is not about flying around in the sky at will with sword light! Shushan has today's achievements, do you know how many predecessors have been destroyed by it! Sometimes it is just a loss of heart, and it will be doomed!"
"Those who have passed the trial this time, awarded the "Great Dao Pointing to the Cui Void Formula", my Shushan Sword Technique, unparalleled in the world, and the "Avenue Pointing to the Cui Void Method" is the foundation. β
"The pill you took this time is not an erysipelas, but a real jade pill. The last herb of Yu Ning Dan is hard to find, from today onwards, I hope you can stick to your heart as you did when you faced that deer, otherwise, even if you learn my Shu Mountain Method, you will go astray!
"Luobei" watched Dan Lingsheng take out the black leather book that Luobei had seen in the hands of "Luyu" from his arms, unfolded the words on the avenue above and pointed directly at Cuixujue, and Cai Shu, who was standing next to Luobei, suddenly asked Luobei softly, "One day, if someone forces you to harm me like Luyu, will you agree?"
Luo Bei was stunned, then shook his head, "Of course not." β
On the way to ask him this question, the corners of Cai Shu's mouth, who had never turned his head to look at him, rippled into a smile at this time, and said softly, "I won't either." β
