Chapter 3: Sumeru Illusion

The jungle is dense, from time to time there is the roar of wild beasts, Yuan Qi carried a wooden sword, silently followed the back of the team, curiously looked here, the jungle is not long, it didn't take long to walk out, a big mountain in front of him, in the mountain, the rock is wonderful, and what stands out is one stone cave after another.

"This is the Sumeru Cave, any cave entrance can enter the final place, you can go in a group or alone, this is the most important part of the second level, I will be waiting for you at the exit!" Wan Qian explained to everyone.

When several assessment disciples heard this, they thought about it again and again, and began to approach the pitch-black cave one after another.

Yuan Qi stood in place, staring at the holes, thinking for a while.

"Brother Yuan, let's team up and choose one together!" Mo Li pulled Yuan Qi.

"Okay. Yuan nodded, half of the people around him had already entered the cave, and he didn't hesitate, and said, "Let's go too." ”

The two walked into the cave, perhaps because of the assessment, the lights in the cave were roaring, all of them had been lit up, and there was no imaginary feeling of darkness, Yuan Qi pulled out a wooden sword, crossed it on his chest, and walked first, Mo Li was also very realm, following Yuan Qi closely, Guoguo was beside him, flying like a colorful glow, with an indescribable agility.

Suddenly, a red shadow appeared in front of them, and as soon as their eyes flickered, they saw a red giant bird suddenly burst out, and its sharp beak pecked at them, but fortunately, Yuan Qi reacted in time, and took Mo Li to move away and dodge the blow. At the same time, he made a backhand sword, causing the giant bird to cry in pain, and quickly hidden, making the surroundings quiet again in an instant.

"Be careful, follow me, and don't make a sound. Yuan Qi was on guard while helping Mo Li.

Seeing such a big bird and beast for the first time, Mo Li was obviously a little frightened, and nodded again and again, but Guoguo even shrank in her arms and refused to show up.

Yuan Qi lowered his head and picked up a few feathers, identified them for a long time, and said to himself: "Muttering bird." ”

"What a beautiful feather!" Mo Li leaned over and exclaimed.

"This is a muttering bird, I have seen it in the Battle of the Beasts, it is full of fiery red, and the sharpest of it is its mouth, which is extremely fast and highly poisonous. Yuan Qi picked up the feather and stuffed it into his arms, "His feathers are ground into powder to detoxify." Let's go, remember the crossbow I gave you, put it in your hand!"

Yuan Qi's ears flickered slightly, when he lived with Uncle Gu, he often hunted in the cave, his hearing and eyesight were beyond ordinary people, and any sound in the cave could not hide Yuan Qi's full attention.

"Whoosh~Whoosh~" was another sneak attack that was dodged by Yuan Qi, he waved his arm slightly, the arrow crossbow flew out of the cuff, hitting the muttering bird, and the other hand pulled Mo Li to flee quickly, in front, there was a very small hole, revealing a white light, which was very conspicuous. The two of them plunged headlong into it.

The muttering birds were furious, and stood at the mouth of the cave and chirped at them.

Cold sweat broke out on both of their foreheads, and the strange bird seemed to be staring at them, waiting for a long time, and not leaving.

Yuan Qi looked at the cave carefully, and found some strange ancient characters on the stone wall in the middle, and just as he was about to get closer, two golden rays of light shot out from the ancient characters, which hit them at once, and they didn't have time to react at all, and they fell unconscious.

I don't know how long it took, Yuan Qi opened his eyes and found himself in the wooden house of Bodhi Lin, still holding a small carving knife in his hand, Uncle Gu, holding a bowl of hot soup, walking here.

"Let's drink!"

When he saw Uncle Gu for the next time, Yuan Qi had tears in his eyes, threw himself into Uncle Gu's arms, and said, "Uncle Gu, where have you been?

Uncle Gu was puzzled: "Xiao Qi, what are you talking about? How did I teach you to practice the Yunxiao Nine Styles!"

"Eun, you have practiced every day, and you will not disappoint your hopes. Yuan Qi cried, pulled out the wooden sword again, and danced.

"Look, I'm good at practicing!" Yuan Qi collected his skills, looked back, but found that Uncle Gu's figure was actually beginning to be transparent, he hurriedly threw down the wooden sword and rushed over, wanting to hug it, but his hands passed through Uncle Gu's body, Yuan Qi's voice trembled, and he called loudly, "Uncle Gu, Uncle Gu!"

The surrounding scenery was blurry, and when Yuan Qi opened his eyes, he saw Mo Li's figure.

"Brother Yuan, what's wrong with you, why are you crying. Mo Li asked with concern.

In the air, Guoguo sat cross-legged, white mist rising from his body, constantly pouring into Yuan Qi's body.

"Something happened. Yuan Qi wiped his eyes and found that he was still in that ancient cave, but the golden ancient characters were gone, replaced by another cave.

"At first, I didn't know what was going on, but I think coming here should be a checkpoint!" Mo Li helped Yuan Qi up and said, "Construct an environment to paralyze us!" Brother Yuan, you must have dreamed of something bad!"

"Why are you okay?" Yuan Qi asked in surprise as he stood up.

"Guoguo can make me meditate, without distractions, with her by my side, such a demon is ineffective for me. Mo Li looked at Guoguo and said lovingly, "She also made you wake up." ”

Guoguo snorted arrogantly and said, "If it weren't for the sake of you saving Momo just now, I wouldn't have bothered to save you!"

Yuan Qigan laughed, didn't go back, and glanced at the newly appeared hole.

"It seems that we have passed this level, let's go!" Mo Li said.

The hall of despair, the head Wan Qing, stood with his hands in his hands, and a basin of water was placed in front of him, and what emerged was Yuan Qi and Mo Li. Everything just now was not a coincidence, he saw it all. Especially after seeing Uncle Gu's appearance in Yuan Qi's illusion, his heart was even more agitated.

"You're really not dead!" Wan Qing muttered to himself silently, then paused again, and said, "That girl is not simple, elves can have such auspicious things, could it be Penglai's widow?

Yuan Qi walked out of the cave, a sword light floated in the air, and he saw Wan Qian holding a sword, surrounded by more than a dozen newcomer disciples who had arrived here, and a red giant bird in the sky spread its wings and flew high, confronting Wan Qian below. Its afterglow saw Yuan Qi who had just walked out of the cave, and immediately let out an angry roar, as if it hated Yuan Qi, and actually abandoned Wan Qian, turned his body into a rain of arrows, and rushed over.

Yuan Qi gently pushed Mo Li away, his body was dexterous, and he dodged this clever blow, and the wooden sword in his hand shook quickly and met him. Strange to say, although the wooden sword was wooden, it was very strong, and after several battles, there was no damage.

Later, Wan Qian arrived, and a sword stabbed on the right paw of the muttering bird, causing a painful roar, Yuan Qi held the wooden sword in his hand, and drew a sword qi, and then the familiar Yunxiao Nine Style was casually displayed. For a while, the sword qi was full of energy, and the muttering bird shook its wings and flew towards the sky, which made Yuan Qi feel a lot, he didn't know how to resist the sword, so he had to stand in place, and there was nothing to do.

Wan Qian snorted coldly, and a cyan sword appeared under his feet, filled with a spiritual light, and he flew up.

"Pure heart extinguished!" Wan Qian raised his left arm and slashed away.

Yuan Qi's eyes were solemn, staring at Wan Qian's every move, this was the second time Wan Qian had performed this trick in front of him, "Pure Heart Annihilation!", the first time because he was too flustered, he was poisoned again and couldn't concentrate, this time he was one spirit, and naturally he would not let go of every detail.

"Senior Brother Wan, stab him in the armpit. Yuan Qi didn't understand Edgeworth, but he knew the weakness of the muttering bird, and stood on the ground and reminded loudly.

Wan Qian nodded, several sword qi flickered, fighting with the muttering bird in the air, and at the same time, the two bodies were also slowly descending.

"Be careful, everyone. Wan Qian landed, looked at those rookie disciples, and reminded loudly.

In the air, the muttering bird swooped down towards Wan Qian again.

"Heavenly Sword Decision!" Wan Qian broke off, printed in his hand, a huge lightsaber did not pass over his head, against the pair of giant beaks, and at the same time muttered to the bird, not to be outdone, his claws stretched out, and grabbed Wan Qian's eyes.

"Pure heart extinguished!" A burst of drinking, under Wan Qian's incredible gaze, Yuan Qi raised his left arm horizontally, and suddenly slashed out a sword, although the power was not as powerful as Wan Qian, but that kind of clever momentum, but not weak to him at all, this sword qi against the pair of giant claws, making the muttering bird's wings tremble, struggling to fly up.

"Mo Li, good opportunity, fire the crossbow. Yuan Qi reminded Mo Lidao loudly.

"Whoosh", a small light flew in, pierced into the armpit of the muttering bird, the muttering bird chirped in pain, fell to the ground, and its paws ran quickly back into the cave.

Yuan Qi put away the wooden sword, Mo Li quickly ran to his side, and asked with concern: "Brother Yuan, are you okay?"

"It's okay, you're doing a great job!" Yuan Qi gave a thumbs up and praised.

Wan Qian stepped forward, stared at Yuan Qi, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and asked, "This trick of Pure Heart Destruction is my Qingchengmen Peerless Learning, where did Brother Yuan learn it?"

"Actually, it's nothing, I saw Brother Wan use it just now, so I learned it!" Yuan Qi scratched his head and smiled, "But it's still far worse than Senior Brother!"

Wan Qian was shocked in his heart, and said in his heart: "There is such a genius in this world, he is already good enough in Qingcheng, and this Yuan Qi seems to be even better." ”

Outside, in the Shangqing Palace, Cang Song's face showed shock, and all the details of Yuan Qi's stealing Wan Qian's moves just now, including every expression, were vivid.

"This person is definitely a good jade, and among the disciples in this bureau, his qualifications are definitely among the best!" Cang Song praised.

"His name is Yuan Qi, Wan Ting's girl came to me the day before yesterday, and he is the new place among the new disciples!" Elder Tuke's face was calm, he didn't pay attention to Yuan Qi at all, but instead stared at the fruit on Mo Li's shoulder, looking and looking.

"It seems that my Qingchengmen is going to add new talents. Cangsong smiled.

"That's not necessarily, the more beautiful the jade, the more troublesome it is, the more important the human heart, in front of the human heart, the qualification is nothing!" Tuke said lightly, "The next level is the heart washing pool, I don't know how many people can pass!"

Cang Song nodded, and looked at the ancient mirror in front of him again.

In the Sumeru Fantasy Realm, in front of the altar, Wan Qian counted the disciples who had passed the level, there were 12 people in total, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "There are only 12 of the more than 100 people who have passed the second level, and I don't know how many people can be left in the third level." ”

"Everyone, congratulations on all of you who have passed the second level, the next third level is the heart washing pool in front of you, all my Qingcheng disciples, the most taboo distracting thoughts, this level is very simple, you just jump down, the heart washing pool water, you will automatically distinguish whether you have distracting thoughts!"

Wan Qian waved his hand and signaled to start. Suddenly, two or three disciples jumped in one after another, and the white heart-washing pool water actually emitted black gas, which made Wan Qian shake his head and said, "Failed the assessment!" took out a brush and crossed out a few names.

"Next, don't leave!"

Mo Li looked at Yuan Qi nervously, Yuan Qi patted her shoulder and encouraged: "Don't be nervous, you can definitely do it!"

Mo Li seemed to have some courage, and stepped into the heart washing pool step by step with his eyes closed, it was very quiet, and the heart washing pool seemed to be like an ordinary pool of water, extremely clear. Not the slightest change has occurred. Wan Qian nodded with a smile. Motioned for Yuan Qi to enter next.

Yuan Qi was also very nervous, step by step into the heart pool, at first it was very calm, but with Yuan Qi's submerge, a wave of waves, he had a sense of pain all over his body, but there was a comfortable feeling in his heart, and his body seemed to be much more relaxed. Wan Qian stared at Yuan Qi and said lightly: "Yuan Qi has passed." ”

Although he passed the test, Yuan Qi's mood was very complicated, and only Mo Li happily grabbed his hand and shook it.

"Congratulations, after a while, you will go to the Shangqing Palace, and after the official apprenticeship, you will become my official disciple of Qingcheng!" Wan Qian counted carefully, there were only 6 people in total, which made him a little suspicious, Qingcheng accepted disciples too strictly!

With a wave of his hands, a portal appeared, covering the six people.
