Chapter 81: The Wheel of Life and Death
At this time, Li Yan was standing in a Linggu field, he straightened his waist, held the hoe with one hand, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the other.
This task was taken a few days ago, when he found the third senior brother, he just took out a hoe from the hut and threw it to him, and did not make any explanation, Li Yan didn't care at that time, isn't it just farm work? This has been done often since childhood, otherwise he really wouldn't dare to take it easily, but he can be regarded as an expert, but when he really went to the ground, he was dumbfounded.
Li Yan picked up the hoe and asked the place, and after the third senior brother's indifferent answer, he flew over to the Linggu field on the flying spirit weapon.
This is a piece of hundreds of acres or so of the spirit valley, the trees are flashing with golden-green light, Li Yan is like facing a sparkling valley wave half a waist deep, from these spirit valleys, he feels the vigorous aura fluctuations, the breeze blows the valley waves undulating, and the golden-green light points shake together from a distance, making people suddenly feel that the world is wide and full of vitality.
His task was to hoe away ten acres of weeds in one day, otherwise he would deduct a low-rank spirit stone. Li Yan of course felt that there was no problem, after he sighed at this idyllic scenery, he took off his robe, rolled up his sleeves, and saw a lot of weeds when he came to the ridge, took a deep breath, stood still with his front and back feet, and went down with a hoe, only to hear the sound of "bell", Li Yan's hands were numb, but there was only a shallow trace on the ground, not to mention the weeds that did not move at all Li Yan was a little incredulous, and he was about to bend down and pick the ground here with his hands, but at this moment, a voice came from behind him, "This junior brother, you can't do it like this, is it the first time?"
Li Yan looked back when he heard this, and saw that dozens of zhang away, in another grain field, a person was also standing between the ridges, probably also hoeing, but he didn't release his divine sense just now, so he didn't notice that there were other people here, and the other party may have heard a loud noise here, which also noticed Li Yan.
Li Yan hurriedly turned around and saluted, "It's made this senior brother smile, it's indeed the first time I've taken on this task, but I don't know what to call it?"
The man was of medium height, in his thirties, with short hair, very refined appearance, Li Yan did not release his divine sense, and it is estimated that he was also a monk in the foundation building period, and that person did not release his divine sense, otherwise when he saw Li Yan's cultivation, it is estimated that he would have to call him "master and nephew".
"Zhang Kui in the Lower Four Elephant Peaks, I don't know who this junior brother is?"
"Oh, down there is a disciple of Xiaozhufeng, Li Yan," Li Yan replied with a smile.
"Oh? Li Yan...... Li Yan: I remember, it seems that it was Xiao Zhufeng's junior disciple who only joined a few years ago, and when I chatted with Daqiao before, I heard him say it. When the middle-aged monk heard this, he first paused, thought for a moment, and then smiled.
Li Yan smiled and nodded, and said in his heart, "Seventh Senior Brother, it's not strange to hear about this. ”
"What's the matter? Senior Brother Li didn't get the method from Senior Brother Yun, so he came over?"
Li Yan couldn't say that the third senior brother just threw him a hoe, and even this place was only known to him when he asked about it, so he had to scratch his head.
Zhang Mei looked at it and seemed to understand something, "Hehe, I know, I said that I know with you, it's not too difficult, the hoe in our hands is not a farmer's ordinary thing, it is also a beginner-level spiritual weapon, you need to concentrate on spiritual power when hoeing, but the weeds in the valley are most afraid of gold spiritual power, followed by fire spiritual power, if you use wood spiritual power, water spiritual power, and earth spiritual power, not only can it not be removed, but it will help its roots spread more crazily, and that's it." ”
After that, he nodded to Li Yan, and then bent down to do something.
Li Yan also hurriedly returned the salute, knowing that people could give so much guidance, it could be regarded as a favor, otherwise it didn't matter what he was. At this time, I also thought that there was such a prompt when I took this task, the need is gold and fire spiritual power, but I still didn't know it at the time, but I ignored it later, it turned out to be such a thing.
So the dehydration in the body was running, and the golden spiritual power was formed in an instant, and the next moment it was injected into the spirit hoe, only to see the golden light of the hoe faintly bright, Li Yan picked up the hoe and planed it down, only to hear a soft sound of "snort", the piece of land has been turned up, but it is really as Zhang Kui said.
In this way, Li Yan was busy working among the ridges, but after half an hour, he straightened up, sweating profusely, and his face was a little pale, because the spiritual power in his body was empty. Originally, with the spiritual power of the seventh layer of his condensation period, let alone hoeing ten acres of land, even the kind of hundred acres planted by mortals would not have any reaction. It's just that this spiritual valley is very strange, quite hard, and the weeds in it are also nearly three feet deep, if he has less spiritual energy, he can't hoe it at all, and if the spiritual energy is infused too much, it will be consumed in vain. Looking at the remaining large grain fields, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It seems that a spiritual stone has flown again", it will take him more than ten hours to meditate and recover, where can it be completed in one day.
Two months later, in the evening, Li Yan looked at the clean and grassless grain fields between ten acres, and the corners of his mouth pulled upward.
In these days, he has lost a lot of spirit stones, although he also received the task of watering Mo Wang Zhu at the same time, plus the spirit stones he receives every month, this is still owed twenty-six spirit stones to the task hall, but in the next few days, this situation should be less.
Although the spirit stone lost a lot, Li Yan also learned a lot of things, such as the rational use of spiritual power, the rapid conversion of the five elements of spiritual power, and also improved the recovery speed of spiritual power, the purity of spiritual power, etc., all of which made him benefit a lot.
The days passed in this way, and every day Li Yan was busy between the Spirit Plantation Garden and cultivation, like a hard-working little bee.
On this day, Li Yan got up early in the morning, opened the courtyard gate magic circle after a simple wash, and wanted to go to the mission hall, he still owed twenty-six spirit stones to the mission hall, he had to hurry up, otherwise he would become twenty-seven in arrears next month, and the interest of this sect was really high and scary.
But recently, due to the large number of foundation building monks in the sect going out to practice, a lot of tasks in the task hall of each peak have been accumulated, so he is familiar with the Mowang Bamboo task and the Linggu watering task There are still some tasks, I heard Zhang Kui say that the old monarch peak main task hall has accumulated a large number of tasks, but I think that when the foundation building selection is over, these tasks will disappear soon. He has done basically the same task as Zhang Kui in recent months, and Zhang Kui is not a person who is good at fighting, otherwise he would also go to the mission hall to pick up the mission, so that he can earn more spirit stones, and this time he did not sign up for the foundation building competition. There are still many people like him who only focus on improving the realm and want to achieve immortality, and they are not all battle maniacs.
Li Yan didn't take on other kinds of tasks recently, and only focused on watering Mowang Bamboo and Linggu Field hoeing tasks, earning some spirit stones to pay off the arrears first. After leaving the courtyard gate, he was about to release the flying spirit weapon, when he saw a flash of light in the sky above the bamboo forest, and a huge book slip fell.
"Little junior brother, slow down, I'm just a coincidence" A gentle voice came from the front.
Li Yan didn't know what the senior brother came to him to do so early in the morning, so he hurriedly saluted, "Hello senior brother, if there is something to do, although there is a message in the token, I will just go over, why bother to go on a trip." ”
Li Wuyi had already collected the magic weapon and walked over steadily, "Hehe, I think it's better to explain this matter in person, and I'm not always in the main hall." ”
Li Yan couldn't help but wonder in his heart when he heard this, it seemed that it was not a trivial matter to ask the senior brother to come and find him.
So open the courtyard door again, the two walked to the courtyard and sat down on the stone bench, Li Yan took out the tea set and poured two cups of tea, he is not a person who eats and drinks, usually it is just white water to quench thirst, this tea is still sent by Zhang Kui in the Spirit Plantation Garden.
Li Wuyi took a sip of tea, felt full of relish, nodded involuntarily, and then looked straight.
"Little junior brother, I came here to have an important thing to say to you, recently the master, the master is in retreat, the peak is handled by me, yesterday I received the order of the master, I went to the Laojun Peak, listened to the training of your master next year's secret realm picking, some time ago, Taixuan Sect, Pure Land Sect, The three sects of the Ten Steps Courtyard have Jindan masters come to our sect to discuss this matter, and the three sects proposed that after the picking next year, they want to open a small space in the secret realm of another wheel of life and death for a big comparison, this wheel of life and death existed tens of thousands of years ago, it was overhauled in the Jindan period and then opened the trial after the secret realm was picked, but later changed to the foundation building period after the monks entered the secret realm to pick, the wheel of life and death was closed, and the reason for the closure was only known to the masters.
The wheel of life and death should be a bloody magic weapon refined by the ancient immortal cultivators in the secret realm, it is held in a huge sphere in the secret realm, and the entrances of the twenty passages extend from different directions to the center of the ball, each passage must be held by a high-level monk with thirty-six monks who are less than him in a realm, these twenty roads are independent and unrelated to each other, at first each road is only ten miles long, but as the monks continue to march towards the center of the ball, the length of the road will continue to extend to the direction of the ball, these roads are constantly twisting and moving in the sphere, like twenty flying strips, from the whole it looks like an irregular rotation in a ball, but the people above it do not feel the shaking of the road, so it is called the wheel of life and death. In this process, there will always be two paths that will intersect at the end of the extension, so that no one can know which two paths intersect, and at the moment of intersection, the end of the two paths will stop extending, and the seventy-four monks on the two roads will meet, and then the two sides must fight, and after only thirty-seven or less monks remain, the two paths will become one road again, and they can continue to move towards the center of the ball. ”
Speaking of this, Li Wuyi glanced at Li Yan, and Li Yan lowered his head a little pensively.
"Little junior brother, don't you have any curiosity or questions?" Li Wuyi took a sip of tea and asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"Senior brother, I think there should be some reason for forcing the two sides to fight, otherwise the two sides will just wait there for the end, for example: if you can't reach the center of the ball, the whole team will die, or there will be a huge threat after the two roads intersect. ”
Li Wuyi praised it after hearing it." The little junior brother is really smart, although he didn't guess it, but he also guessed the key, this wheel of life and death is speed, and finally the first three groups can enter the ball center, which is divided into four layers, everyone can reach the first layer, and the team that reaches it will pass to different compartments in order, where there will be different levels of rich rewards, these rewards are far more generous than picking outside, but the things obtained cannot all belong to the individual in the end, but everyone can give priority to choosing a treasure, or simply do not want a treasure, and exchange the equivalent spirit stone with the sect。 The rest must be handed over to the sect, these sound unkind, after all, this is the team of everyone fighting for their lives, why pay to the sect, but even so, everyone is rushing to go, any treasure there may not be available in your life, or even said that you can't see it, so it is very precious, the sect has spent so much resources to cultivate your growth, and it takes a lot of precious resources to open the secret realm, so most of the treasures obtained have to be handed over to the sect. ”
Li Yan nodded when he heard this, of course he agreed with this point of view, and he also understood the reason why the senior brother explained to him, that is, to let him know that if he went, he should not have any barriers to the sect in his heart in the end.
"As long as everyone reaches the first layer of the ball center, there will be no death, it's just that there is no reward, and in the end they will be teleported out with the other third-layer team members, which means that the people who stay in the path will die in the end, and that kind of death is watching the people around them die one by one, which is unbearable, and may even attack their teammates like crazy before they die.
Because this sphere will automatically open once the twenty road personnel and 740 personnel stand full, from this moment on, the sphere will continue to shrink and compress to the center of the sphere, and in this contraction process, the edge of the sphere will produce a large area of black shadows, in the ball is like a huge black curse pressed down from the sky, as long as the human body touches these black shadows, whether it is the magic weapon on the body, The magic weapon, or human flesh and bones, will turn into ashes in an instant, and no one will be spared, so when the two roads intersect, the two sides must fight desperately, and when the sphere continues to shrink, the extension of the road will be opened before the arrival of the large black shadow, otherwise they will die soon. ”
