Volume 1 Cultivating Immortals Again Chapter 89 The Fourth Level
There was another familiar burst of vertigo, and when Wang Mou opened his eyes, he found that he was in a completely unfamiliar place again, and Wang Mou knew that this should be the fourth level.
"This fourth level is a test of the realm, so what kind of test will I take?" Wang Mou scratched his head, recalling what the big fat boy said before.
But with this clue alone, even if Wang Mou is the Grim Reaper elementary school student, he can't solve such a puzzle, so Wang Mou has to observe the surrounding environment, hoping to understand more about this fourth level.
The environment of this fourth level can be said to be very beautiful, because Wang Mou is on a lake pavilion at this time. Wang Mou looked around, only to see the green mountains on all sides, the surrounding blue waves rippling, sometimes there are sand gulls coiling, brocade scales swimming, it can really be described as a beautiful lake and mountains.
"This place is really good, if you live in seclusion in this place, it can be regarded as a fairy life. Wang Mou couldn't help but sigh when he looked at such a beautiful scenery.
Just when Wang Mou sighed, a hearty voice came from behind Wang Mou: "Hehe, even if you see more beautiful scenery, you will still get tired of seeing too much, even if it is a fairy." ”
Wang Mou was startled, turned around and looked around, only to see a white-bearded old man with crane hair and a childish face, and he was looking at Wang Mou with a smile at this time.
Although Wang Mou knew that this was the tester of the fourth level, and eighty percent of them were dead things, Wang Mou still respectfully performed the disciple salute and arched the old gentleman to the ground.
"Junior Wang Mou, I have seen the old gentleman, dare to ask the senior, but he is the keeper of the fourth level?"
"What a gatekeeper doesn't guard, it's just a bad old man who guards the door, and he doesn't have to make this big gift. The old man waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
"The seniors laughed, as the guardian of a state treasure, how could he be a bad old man?"
"Hehe, junior, you can speak, but I'm really just a bad old man, don't believe you, you may find a trace of spiritual power fluctuations from me?" the old man said with a smile, and did not shy away from spreading his breath.
When Wang Mou heard the old man say this, he also carefully felt the breath on the old man's body, and sure enough, as the old man said, there was no spiritual power on his body, and there was a natural aura that made people feel extremely comfortable.
"Senior, you ......" Wang Mou looked at such a strange phenomenon and didn't know what to say, it stands to reason that even if it is an alchemy creature, it will be more or less stained with some spiritual power, and like this old man, there is no spiritual power on his body, there are only two possibilities, one is that this old man is an ancestor and a cultivator has no pure mortal clan, and the other is that this old man is a peerless powerhouse with extremely high strength, and his spiritual power and breath can be concealed.
"I told you a long time ago, I'm just a bad old man, but the gatekeeper of the fourth level you said before is actually not wrong, I am indeed a gatekeeper, but I am guarding the fifth level. The old man smiled and looked at Wang Mou with a smile on his face.
The fifth level? I haven't passed the fourth level, why did I even meet the keeper of the fifth level, could it be that the big fat boy's portal had an accident and sent him directly to the fifth level?
Of course, Wang Mou also knew that the probability of this was not high, because that big fat boy was also the instrument spirit of the state treasure no matter how he said it, and it was unlikely that he would make such a low-level mistake, so where is this fourth level and how is it tested?
Seeing that Wang Mou was a little stunned, the old man smiled and said, "Junior, if I guessed correctly, you should have come here to participate in the trial, so can I take you to the fifth level?"
Wang Mou was interrupted by the old man's words, and when he heard the old man say this, he was naturally willing, after all, customs clearance was the ultimate goal, so he hurriedly nodded and said, "Then it will be troublesome for the senior to lead the way." ”
"What's so troublesome about this, it's just a gesture, and besides, my original role is to lead the passer to the fifth level, which is also within my bounds. The old man smiled and said, "Junior, come with me." ”
As soon as the old man's words fell, he turned around and walked to the rear, Wang Mou naturally did not dare to slack off, and followed the old man and walked forward.
"Senior, have you always lived here?" Wang Mou looked at a very simple thatched house next to the small pavilion, and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, I have lived here since I was created, and this life is tens of thousands of years, although I am a little lonely, but I grow vegetables, look at the scenery, and my life is actually quite good. The old man said with a smile, as if these tens of thousands of lonely days were just ordinary in his eyes.
"Old man, then you are really lonely enough, you have not even seen a person here alone for tens of thousands of years, this day is terrible to think about. Wang Mou looked at the old man, although he didn't know what this old man was, but it was certain that the old man must be a wise creature, since it was a wise object, it must be very uncomfortable to stay in such a place for such a long time.
The old man listened to Wang Mou's words of concern for him, his expression softened, and he said with a smile: "You're not right, I haven't seen anyone anywhere, why, aren't you a person?"
"......" Wang Mou was full of black lines in his head, and said in his heart: I care about you, and I was ridiculed by you, old man, you are a little unauthentic.
The old man looked at Wang Mou's somewhat resentful eyes, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Okay, junior, don't joke with you, come, try the cucumbers I grew myself, the water is enough, I can eat two or three in one go." ”
As he spoke, the old man reached out and plucked a cucumber from the vegetable patch next to the grass hut, wiped the soil on his sleeve, and handed it to Wang Mou.
Wang Mou has also been exploring outside all the year round, although he has been Bigu for many years, but he still has an inseparable nostalgia for these foods, so his appetite for appetite has always existed, unlike some high-level cultivators, who have already broken off this appetite, so Wang Mou did not dislike the cucumber handed over by the old man, and wiped it and took a bite.
As soon as he ate a mouthful of cucumbers, Wang Mou felt comfortable all over his body, and the fatigue on his body seemed to be washed away, Wang Mou suddenly knew in his heart that this seemingly ordinary cucumber was probably extraordinary, so he didn't dare to eat it again, and reached out into his arms to prevent any danger in the future, in case of emergency.
The old man didn't say anything when he saw Wang Mou's move, just smiled, and continued to walk forward, and after a short time, he arrived at the edge of the lake pavilion, although the lake pavilion was large, but it was only in Wang Mou's eyes, in the contrast of this boundless lake, it could only be regarded as a drop in the ocean.
However, Wang Mou found that there was no road ahead, only this boundless lake, and the old man seemed to not know, and he had to step forward.
"Senior, stop, the front is ...... Hmm!" Wang Mou couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw that the old man was still non-stop, and hurriedly called out to stop the old man, but a surprising scene happened, the old man actually stood firmly on the water, and the surging waves didn't seem to have any effect on him, and the old man seemed to grow on the water, without the slightest fluctuation.
"Senior, what are you ......?" Wang Mou asked in surprise.
"What's the matter, why did you stop moving forward?" the old man looked back at Wang Mou and said with a smile.
Wang Mou was very surprised, couldn't this old man see that he was stepping on the water now, why didn't he panic at all as if he was stepping on flat ground, could it be that there was some mystery in this water?
Wang Mou cautiously walked towards the surface of the water with the mentality of trying it out, but as soon as his feet stepped on the water, he sank, and he did not have the kung fu of standing on the surface of the water like the old man.
"Senior, what's going on, how can you stand on the water and I can't?" Wang Mou gave full play to the fine tradition of asking questions if he didn't understand, and asked the old man.
"Guess?" the old man smiled mischievously, looking at Wang Mou's face full of helplessness, old man, you are more than 10,000 years old, can you not learn from those young girls to sell cuteness?
"Young man, it's not that I won't tell you, it's really because of the situation, you can see what is different between the two of us, say in advance, I can only prompt here. The old man said with a smile.
"Is it because you are more than 10,000 years older than me?" Wang Mou said suspiciously.
The old man was full of black lines, and he could only give Wang Mou a fool-like look for him to understand.
Of course, Wang Mou also knew that this difference definitely did not refer to the age, so the difference between the two was the realm, since this old man did not have a trace of spiritual power fluctuations, could it be that he only needed to put away the spiritual power fluctuations?
Wang Mou has always been a doer, he did it when he thought of it, he tried his best to adjust his breathing, and tried his best to recover his spiritual power, and finally after successfully becoming free of any spiritual power leakage, he cautiously walked towards the lake.
As expected, he really stopped on the surface of the water, and really didn't shake the slightest bit like the old man.
"The kid is good, and the son can be taught. The old man nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Since you have figured out the rise of the ah, press +, then it is not a violation for me to tell you the secret of this lake now." ”
"This lake is called Soul Eclipse Lake, you may see some names when you hear this name, Eclipse Water, you've heard of it after all, right?"
Eclipse Spirit Water, when he heard the name, Wang Mou couldn't help but shudder, Eclipse Spirit Water is a legendary poison that can corrode spiritual power, since this lake is called Eclipse Spirit Lake, could it be ......
The old man looked at Wang Mou's shocked eyes, couldn't help but smile slightly, and said: "That's right, this lake is indeed the birthplace of the Eclipse Spirit Water, and the Eclipse Spirit Water is only obtained after the purification of this mutually beneficial lake water, so if you soak in this lake for a long time, then your spiritual power will also disappear without a trace, of course, due to the characteristics of the Eclipse Lake, when your spiritual power is swallowed, you will return to the lake, but at that time, your spiritual power is lost, it is really lost." ”
"So, senior, can you take the liberty of asking a question, how long does it take to soak for a long time before it can be regarded as a long soak. Wang Mou asked cautiously.
"Hehe," the old man showed an evil smile, looked at Wang Mou and said, "Well, it's about five seconds." ”
