"That's what I said, well, anyway, the four of us are going to go, can you arrange this matter? I want a job that can be idle all day, don't ask why, if it's not easy to do, just find Mo Lan, Jun Yishen or something, please, Brother Yue." Shangguan Yi summed it up and hastily ended the topic, after all, speculation without evidence is similar to cranky thinking, and too much brain supplementation is the original sin.

"It's really going to call people, what's wrong with such a thing?" Yue Zhengdao was a little unpredictable about Shangguan Yi's thoughts, but he still complained and left, and went to the palace to communicate and negotiate, no matter what, they are also three powerful helpers, and they can't be turned away for some meaningless reasons at this time.

"Now, let's go back, things in Kyoto are over, and the poor Kou Mo chases, in case he encounters an invincible situation and can't escape, it will be troublesome. Shangguan Yi greeted them and took them back to the teacher.

It's a shame to say that he has been paddling (relatively speaking) in the past few days, but Hua Xiangrong and the little monk are working very hard to follow Yue Zhengdao to do tasks, encircling and suppressing King Ning's forces everywhere.

"Well, the teacher said there is a test for us, let's get ready. Hua Xiangrong smiled, these days can be regarded as tired of her, every step has to be taken very carefully, relying on wit + force to seize the advantage, the slightest carelessness will fall into a crisis, the result is unpredictable, naturally be careful step by step.

"Yes, the teacher said that you can't leave Kyoto, and I don't know how difficult it is, so you have to be careful. The little monk said with his eyebrows fluttering, he was also very tired, but it was a little easier than Hua Xiangrong, after all, he was inexperienced, and most of the time he played the role of listener and tool. Of course, tired and tired, he has lived a very fulfilling life these days, which is completely different from the boring days on the mountain.

"Ha, I see that you are inflated, let me be careful, shouldn't you be the one who should be the most careful?" Shangguan Yi said, beckoning Xiao Er to settle the bill, and left the restaurant with the two of them.

"Well, the problem assigned by the teacher is based on the actual situation of each of us, and the difficulty is quite high, so ah~" The little monk said, elongating his voice with a little bad smile.

Shangguan Yi looked at Hua Xiangrong a little speechlessly, the latter shrugged his shoulders, and said helplessly: "The one who is close to the ink is black, follow us...... No, it's been with Yue Zhengdao for a long time, and there's no way. But I think it's good, at least not to lose. ”

"It's true, the cross-cut black natural stay is better than the silly white sweet little white lotus is more suitable for living in this river and lake, well, in most cases, yes. Shangguan Yi also agreed, especially Hua Xiangrong's change of words.

The little monk looked at these two guys a little speechlessly, there were too many slots, and he couldn't spit it out.

When the three of them returned to the teacher's house, the teacher was still the same, sitting at the table waiting for the three of them.

After seeing the ceremony, the teacher inquired about the progress of the cultivation as usual, and then assigned them a question: go to a secret cultivation place to clear the mechanism formation there, and get the deepest customs clearance certificate, provided that it must not be destroyed, dismantle the mechanism, and only use the normal customs clearance method allowed by the rules.

Of course, the more detailed restrictions are: three customs clearance certificates, one person can only get one; Shangguan Yi cannot use exercises to improve strength; four days to try to solve other puzzles on the basis of getting the customs clearance certificate.

Although the purpose and limitations of the mission are very clear, the difficulty of the mission is not clear to the three of them, so they can only go there to observe it.

As for where that place is...... The three of them searched for a long time through a note with the address given by the teacher, only to find out that it was a rather secret underground building that entered through a secret passage in an abandoned courtyard.

......

If the three of them didn't dare, they would probably have dragged the teacher and beaten him, and it would have been good to say no sooner if they were underground? It would have taken them a long time just to confirm that the destination was the abandoned yard. After all, this kind of place doesn't look like a place with complex organs, and more than one mechanism. Then they searched for the mechanism, and as a result, they searched for a long time, found a secret entrance, and entered cautiously from this entrance, and walked for a long time, and finally saw a door guarded by a few guards that seemed to give people a bad feeling.

"How many of you are here to break through?" the guards were surprised, and one of them came over to question their purpose.

"Ah, yes, that's right, right?" Shangguan Yi wanted to roll his eyes, what was going on with this slightly sympathetic gaze, little brother.

Guard A: "That's right, that's right, bring the clearance certificate to us first, and if it's okay, you can go in." ”

Shangguan Yi: "......"

What kind of fuss are you trying to say but can't help but can't say, is there anything wrong with this?

"Hurry up and take out the proof of passage, what are you hesitating about?" this was the guard's urging.

Shangguan Yi was not in a hurry, and pulled him to the corner to chat for a while, in fact, it was just a matter of talking for a while, and finally understood why they behaved so strangely.

This place is actually a place for the children of the imperial family to experience, of course, it is not exclusive to the royal family, such as some children of the family, as well as military generals who have made meritorious contributions can also come if they are willing, which is a relatively good place in Kyoto to cultivate the strength of the next generation.

Note that this 'relatively good' is the evaluation given by the older generation, and for the geniuses of this generation, this is basically a place of punishment. After all, after entering, no matter whether they can clear the customs or not, eighty percent of them come out with a single injury, and most of them can't get a customs clearance certificate.

This phenomenon has been going on for many years, so long that the gatekeepers think that this is a place to punish children who make mistakes. Who has let the people who can clear the customs over the years be counted with both hands, and there are even fewer people who belong to Kyoto, and there are even fewer people like Qian Quanlin, who can easily clear the customs without suffering much.

But Shangguan Yi and the three of them don't look like super geniuses like Qian Quanlin, two and a half old children plus a girl, I'm afraid it's impossible to clear the customs, and I'm afraid that the hardships must be eaten, so these guards have such a reaction.

Shangguan Yi, who understood this, felt a slight pain in his heart, he understood them, but ...... Isn't it a bit too hasty to judge the three of them just by their appearance or something? Or is the difficulty really terrifying?

"This is proof of clearance, you check it, thank you. Shangguan Yi didn't get angry because of the guards' actions, and they didn't have any bad intentions, but they wanted to mention it but didn't dare to say it, it seemed that there were some restrictions.

"Well, four days, that is, four days of food, the share is... Each meal is served in a serving of five. As for the difficulty, well, the highest?also, yes, the last stamp is the mark of this adult, and it is natural to choose the highest difficulty, open the level... Well, is it an extreme challenge? It's kind of interesting. The guards checked the information on it, recorded the key points, and then stamped their own stamp on the clearance certificate and returned it to Shangguan Yi.

"Every meal will be brought in, if there are any additional needs to mention, finally good luck to you, please come in." This was the last thing the guard said to Shangguan Yi and the three of them, and after reading the certificate of breaking through, this person put away his sympathy for the three of them, but instead brought some expectations.

"Thank you. After thanking the three of them, they walked into the door and began the experience.

Don't ask why it's hard to move forward, it can only be said that it is because the runes on this door are quite tightly engraved, of course, these runes have no special effect, just indicate some meanings, for the layman, as long as you know: the higher the degree of tightness of the runes = the higher the level of the mechanism = the more dangerous it is.

As soon as the three of them entered, they found that it was actually a large room, with several doors on the left, rows of bookshelves on the right, and a place similar to an intermission in the middle, where an old man sat at a desk with his back to the bookshelf and read. Then there is a bare-chested strong man practicing, doing push-ups upside down with one hand, and there are still weights on his body......

"Well, another Trialist has come in, welcome to show me your proof of passage. Seeing someone come in, the old man hurriedly beckoned, but the strong man turned a deaf ear and didn't seem to notice.

The old man checked the certificate of passage in a similar way as the guards at the gate, and then explained the various levels and rules here to the three of them, and finally smiled and said: "Don't think about playing any tricks, he and I are not only the managers here, we are also the supervisors here, that is, to supervise your actions to break through the level, punish violations, and are absolutely iron-faced and selfless, it's still too late to run." ”

"It's too late. The strong man stopped his exercise and wiped his sweat.

"Oh, hey, why are you correcting it, if they have any resistance to this trial, they should find out and correct it as soon as possible. The old man continued to smile, but with obvious malice.

The three of them were full of black lines, this old man was too dark, right? I'm afraid I didn't mean to induce them to make mistakes, and then fix them, right? ruthless, too ruthless.

"This ...... We also hope to learn something through this trial, and we ask you to take care of it. Shangguan Yi took the lead and saluted the two, and then the three of them walked to the most critical level: the one who could get the customs clearance certificate, and began to discuss countermeasures.

"Everyone only has the opportunity for half an hour at a time, and they have to run back and forth, although I don't know how far it is, but I'm afraid it's not easy for the little monk. Shangguan Yi took the lead in saying.

"The teacher wants three clearance certificates, and a person can only take one, so there is no need to say much about what the meaning is.

It's fine if the corridor is fixed, but according to the two seniors, it has seven different situations, and if the length and number of mechanisms are too long, it will be difficult to even memorize by rote. Hua Xiangrong also has a headache.

"And once you start to break through, you must come out for half an hour, unless you can't stand up by the authorities, you can come out early, this must be noted. "The little monk also knows the difficulty of this matter, the difficulty is that he may not be able to get by, Hua Xiangrong and Qian Taiduo's body style, the reaction speed is very strong.

"Actually, we should try this mechanism passage first, it may not be as simple as we thought, if we can clear the level casually, the teacher will not let us come here for a trial, right?" Shangguan Yi didn't think that he and Hua Xiangrong could easily clear the level.

"That's right, Chantaido and I will take the lead and give you a probing, although your defensive ability is great, but there are always some things that can't be defended, and it will be troublesome to get injured here. Hua Xiangrong thought about it and made such an arrangement.

The other two naturally have no opinion, so Hua Xiangrong went on first, because the door would close after entering, so the two of them couldn't see the situation inside, they only knew that it seemed to be very intense, and judging from the sound, it was getting farther and farther away, so there shouldn't be much of a problem?

Half an hour later, the mechanism stopped, and Hua Xiangrong came out of it, a little frightened, with some fragrant sweat on his cheeks, and it seemed that he had experienced a very thrilling battle.

"How's it going, aren't you?" asked the two of them, looking at each other.

"I wasn't hurt by the hidden weapon, but I was also touched by other organs, and the internal force was a little messy, which was a little slight. The passage is very long, and the mechanism is also very cleverly set up, and a considerable part of it is almost the same situation, but fortunately, I have more experience in breaking this kind of thing, and the strength is okay, and it has not been solved. Judging by my strength, I should be able to barely clear the level, because the back and forth mechanisms are different, so it will be a little reluctant, and I may be able to pass the level easily after a few more attempts. Hua Xiangrong also looked a little scared.

"Then I'll try it. The three exchanged for a while, and Shangguan Yi entered the door and began to try to clear the customs.

Just like Hua Xiangrong said, this road is difficult to walk, full of the designer's malice, and it is difficult for quite a few mechanisms to pass, but with Shangguan Yi's reaction, it can still keep up, but the most difficult part is that those chain mechanisms that have little time to think about reacting, because ...... Shangguan Yi couldn't keep up.

Yes, after being beaten by such a mechanism as the first one, although Shangguan Yi was not injured by relying on his strong body, he also understood the difficulty of this trial.

The little monk is not good at his body, and his reaction is not fast enough. Your brain can react, but your body can...... I can't keep up, this is also my own potential problem, and I confessed to the teacher before. Hua Xiangrong may be the easiest of the three to clear the level, because she is fast, quick to react and experienced, and she and the little monk are her two oil bottles.

Fortunately, they had four days, Shangguan Yi thought as he continued to walk forward. Don't ask him how he passed through the mechanism that stuck him, he relied on prediction before his body reacted, and predicted the movement of the mechanism in advance, anyway, he stepped on the thunder just now, and he had experience.

Of course, after half an hour passed, Shangguan Yi did not complete this breakthrough, and it was even a little far away, but fortunately, he was not injured and would not delay the plan to break through later.
