Chapter 1: Trials
The Cangwu Gate of the Spirit Void Realm was hidden in the clouds and mist, and many mortals were waiting on the floating island outside the mountain gate. From the middle-aged people who stand up to the children who are not confused, and the children who are down to the age of the general horn, they are all fortunate to have spiritual roots and be selected by the Cangwu Gate. The immortal road is vast, and there are very few people who can find the immortal trace, if they pass the test, they can worship the immortal gate and embark on the immortal path. Most of the people couldn't hold back their curiosity and secretly looked to the side.
The blue-clothed young man who led the way for them comforted Wen Yan: "In a while, the seniors of the Tianshu Pavilion will come to take you to the test, so don't be too nervous." Although this was the first time he had come to receive a disciple, the past process had already been clarified from the seniors of the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion. These people all have spiritual roots, and if they were in other small sects, they would have already entered the wall. However, as the head of the Immortal Sect of the Spirit Void Realm, Cangwumen accepts disciples not only based on qualifications.
"Immortals, what do you want to test?" asked a clever boy flatteringly.
The blue-clothed young man said with a smile: "My Cangwu Sect pays the most attention to the disciple's temperament, as long as you live the Illusory World Mirror, you will pass the test." ”
"What is the Illusory Mirror?" the boy asked, confused.
"I know, I know!" Another little fat man said proudly: "The Illusory World Mirror is a magic weapon, which can change everything in the world, just like the real thing!" The young man glanced at him when he heard this, although the Phantom World Mirror was not a secret, but ordinary people could not access this kind of information. This child should be from which family or after the fairy gate.
"Wow, then I can become an immortal in the magic weapon!"
"That's fake," the little fat man pouted disdainfully: "What's so good about becoming an immortal in a dream." ”
"Now that everything has become like the real thing, then everything I want can be fulfilled in the magic weapon. The boy who asked the question retorted unconvinced.
"To cultivate the truth is to remove the false and retain the truth, if you indulge in the illusion, it is 'repairing the fake'. The girl on the side quipped, causing the boy to glare at her.
The young man in blue smiled and said, "Yes, there will be a lot of external things on the way to practice, and if you indulge in it, you will not be able to make an inch. You know this at a young age, it's rare, what's your name?"
When the girl saw the young man praising him, she smiled embarrassedly: "Ask your heart, thank you for asking your heart." These are also said by the immortal chief who led me into the immortal gate. ”
Before the blue-clothed young man could reply, a young monk in a white Taoist robe came over, looked at the mortals who were waiting below, nodded, and said to the blue-clothed youth, "There are a lot more this year. ”
The blue-clothed young man bowed his hand and called Uncle Mo: "The seniors who were sent to Qianxun Mountain to check before have brought some more disciples with spiritual roots along the way, so it's troublesome for Uncle Mo." ”
Uncle Mo nodded indifferently, took out a boat-shaped magic weapon, pinched a spell, and saw that the magic weapon grew in the wind and turned into a huge building ship ten zhang square. Although it is a ship, it has no mast and no sails. The three-storey attic in the middle is paved like gold and stone, carved beams and painted buildings, and it is very fine. Uncle Mo looked at everyone: "Don't panic, come with me." ”
Before they could be amazed, they realized that they were in the middle of a big ship. He took off with the big ship and flew towards the mountain gate.
Seeing Uncle Mo's cold expression, everyone on the boat didn't dare to come forward to talk, so they had to look at the changing clouds and mist outside the ship in amazement, and landed in front of the mountain gate after a while. Uncle Mo took the magic weapon and said to everyone: "The vortex ahead is the entrance to the Illusory World Mirror, and I can't go in." As long as you pass the test of the phantom mirror, you can enter the outer door. Those who do not pass can also return to the floating island in the hope of coming to Japan. ”
Everyone looked different. Some are trembling and uneasy, while others are eager to try, and all beings are in a variety of ways. After hesitating for a while, a teenager walked into the vortex first, and the rest followed as quickly as possible.
......
As soon as Xie Wenxin walked in, he felt dizzy, and the rest of the people disappeared without a trace, and the scene had changed in front of him, this was a familiar downtown area. Qianxi County, where she was located after escaping from Fangcun Tomb, is also the place where she has lived for more than ten years.
Looking up, this illusion was no different from the Qianxi County in her impression. The storefronts on the street, the pedestrians coming and going, there are a few familiar faces. A strange force was influencing her perception, and it was illusion.
If it were anyone else, I am afraid that they would have forgotten about the Xianmen test in ignorance and unawareness. Xie Wenxin touched the jade pendant tied around his neck without a trace, and his heart settled down. This Lingjue is worthy of being a divine object, and it actually makes her mortal body still clear in the illusionary mirror.
Xie Wenxin walked down the street with nothing to do, and was thinking about whether to go to Chunhelou to eat some snacks as usual, or go back to the house to have a look, but saw a young girl running over and hugging her leg and crying: "Miss Xie save me!"
Here it comes.
This should be part of the test. Xie Wenxin was not surprised, and asked with a smile: "Isn't this the girl of the Zhang family, you get up first, what's wrong?" She also knows this girl of the Zhang family, her name is Zhang Yunyun, and she is the only daughter of the shopkeeper of the Zhang family's grocery store in the city. Although there have been several encounters, there is no friendship.
"My father went to ...... the other day The bully Wang Erhu in the city said that he wanted me to come over the door and be a concubine, woo woo woo ......" Zhang Yunyun cried as she spoke, and she still couldn't hide her horror when she mentioned Wang Erhu.
Xie Wenxin has heard of this, Wang Erhu bullies men and women on weekdays, relying on his brother-in-law to be the master of the county government, and he has always been rampant. And the shopkeeper Zhang also passed away last month.
This phantasmagoric mirror has some meaning.
Xie Wenxin raised his eyebrows: "You are still in the filial piety period, don't the elders in the clan care?"
"They took the money, who would care if I lived or died," Zhang Yunyun said in despair......
"You are pathetic, I really sympathize with you. Xie Wenxin tilted his head to look at her: "So, why did you come to me if you didn't go to the county government to report to the official?"
Zhang Yunyun seemed to be shocked by her words, and said with difficulty: "If it is...... Report to the official, and my reputation will be ruined...... You and I are not too frustrated...... I thought ......"
Xie Wenxin nodded with interest: "What you said makes sense, how do you want me to help you?"
Zhang Yunyun bit her lower lip, as if she was about to cry: "Now Wang Erhu is blocking my house, just begging Miss Xie to take me in for a few days." ”
Xie Wenxin gently persuaded: "This is not a long-term solution. Do you have any trusted distant relatives in your family?"
Zhang Yunyun wiped her tears: "No...... I have no ......relatives," he said, crying sadly.
"That's right...... Then go to my house and take refuge for a while. Xie Wenxin clapped his hands and made a decision.
"Thank you, Miss!" Zhang Yunyun cried with joy.
......
When I came to the Xie family's house in the west of the city, there was only one courtyard to enter, and only Xie Wenxin lived alone on weekdays. All the way, Xie Wenxin was observing, and he tested Zhang Yunyun without a trace. But no matter how you look at it, this illusion can only be described in two words.
Authentic.
Seamless authenticity.
If she didn't have Lingjue, I'm afraid she just thought she was going out for a walk early in the morning, and she ran into this idle matter.
The two walked into the house, and Zhang Yunyun said enviously: "Miss Xie is much better than me, she has land and property at home, and she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing." Not like me...... When my father was there, he was still able to read and write, and he had no worries about food and clothing...... Now I don't even dare to go home......" said and cried again.
Xie Wenxin looked at her, thought for a while, and asked, "Do you have someone you like?"
Zhang Yunyun was taken aback: "No!" seemed to feel that her reaction was too big, and she sneered a little unnaturally: "I am still in filial piety, how can I have these thoughts...... Miss Xie, don't make fun of me......"
"Don't worry, I'm just asking. Xie Wenxin looked at her with a smile, "I'll go clean up the guest room for you." ”
"I'm really tired of Miss Xie, I'll help too......" Zhang Yunyun said in a low voice with red eyes.
Xie Wenxin glanced at her thoughtfully, but did not refuse.
......
At three o'clock, the night was dark, and many homes had already turned off their lights, and even the guards in the city were at their most lax. There are no stars and no moon tonight, but it is a good weather for robbing houses.
The door of the guest room squeaked open, Zhang Yunyun tiptoed out of the door, looked at Xie Wenxin's room with a changing expression, and finally gritted her teeth: "I'm sorry Miss Xie, you have everything, but I have nothing but Zi'an." The guilt in her eyes swept over her and quietly opened the door.
Outside the door, Wang Erhu, who had been in ambush for a long time, rushed in with a few subordinates with a sack and a honeycomb, and said to Zhang Yunyun with satisfaction: "You did a good job, I have already put that waste away." ”
Zhang Yunyun was a little hesitant, and finally ran away crying.
Wang Erhu didn't care about her, and beckoned to his subordinates: "Take away all the valuable things first, and catch the girl from the Xie family by the way." ”
The subordinates scattered in a hurry, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets. They are all roosters and dog thieves, and it is easy to do these, and I saw that the antique calligraphy, painting, gold and silver utensils were all loaded, and the action was swift, and I didn't make too much noise.
The things were almost loaded, and a leader came back to report to Wang Erhu, and the things were almost collected, but no one found them.
"Is it gone? can she still fly? Find me again!" Wang Erhu kicked over a chair in a rage. He has been in love with the girl of the Xie family for a long time, but unfortunately she doesn't go out of the door on weekdays, so she has no idea where to start. This time he finally got the opportunity, he wants this money and people!
After searching for a while, I searched all the rooms, but I still found nothing. When the group saw that it was almost dawn, they had to give up.
......
Xie Wenxin sat leisurely on the tree outside Xie's house, with lush branches and leaves, hiding her figure in the shadows. There was already some light in the east, and occasionally morning dew dripped down the green leaves on Xie Wenxin's body, and she seemed to be unconscious, and she didn't move.
This illusion is as unique as this world. Watching those people leave with interest, thinking about what the illusion means, this level should have passed, right?
"Is this how they robbed you of your things?"
The second level came so soon. Xie Wenxin raised his eyebrows, and when he heard the voice, he turned his head to look, and a handsome young man stood on the tree next to her with his arms crossed, and he didn't know how long he had been looking. The young man's eyebrows and eyes are exquisite, and his temperament is outstanding, and he smiles when he looks at her.
The words that Xie Wen wanted to say were so stuck in his throat that he lost his mind in an instant.
This face......
Time seemed to freeze, and when the young man saw that she didn't answer, he didn't annoy, smiled lightly, and called: "Girl?" The two were only a few feet apart, and Xie Wenxin could even see his own reflection in his eyes. The eyes are pure and flawless, clean like a liquor spring in the cloud mountain, which makes people unconsciously give birth to a good feeling.
The face is so familiar.
For hundreds of years, Xie Wenxin's body had been destroyed by the Nine Extremes Gang Wind in the Fang Cun Tomb, and his soul had also been consumed in this peerless realm, only this face was a nightmare in her lingering breath, her heart barrier, those bits and pieces of the past, and lies that were beyond comprehension......
Even the beginning of the twilight.
Thousands of thoughts came to my heart in an instant, and I had been spending hundreds of years in the square inch mound, and my soul was extremely unstable. It took sixteen years in Qianqian County to stabilize the Dao heart, but now it is so easily stirred. Xie Wenxin clenched his fists and stared.
The stormy emotions in his heart finally calmed down, and finally turned into a sharp killing intent.
After looking at him fixedly for a while, Xie Wen grinned suddenly: This illusory world realm is really interesting.
