Chapter 52: The Trial
The Dragon Gate Array, something that was born with the Dragon Gate, it was like an accessory of the Dragon Gate, helping the Dragon Gate to watch everyone who entered it.
For tens of thousands of years, the Dragon Gate Array has only been known for testing the Dao Heart, and no one has confirmed the saying that after nine steps is the Dragon Gate.
Ao Song stood at the front, followed by Ao Xin, and finally Ao Xiaoning.
Before entering the Dragon Gate Formation, Ao Song returned to normal, stared ahead, and then stepped into it with one foot.
As soon as he entered, the space around him was like a wave of water being thrown into a stone, rippling from the center, and there was a very soft sound of water droplets.
Ao Xin turned around before entering, took out a pitch-black jade pendant made of unknown material from his waist, and then handed it to Zhang Yixian and asked him to hang it around his neck, saying that it was his father's request.
Zhang Yixian didn't think much about it, and after Ao Xin saw that he brought it, he stepped into the dragon gate with lotus steps.
The same scene, as if it has never changed.
After Ao Xin's figure disappeared, Zhang Yixian habitually exhaled, and then took off the pitch-black jade pendant and put it in the golden seal for storage.
He tentatively touched it with his fingers, and found that his fingers were slowly disappearing little by little, and what he saw from the Longmen Array was still the pavilion, rockery, and pond, without his fingers appearing.
He felt for a moment, the ripples at the entrance of this road were really like water, and there was a soft feeling of water when his fingers put them into it.
After satisfying his curiosity, Zhang Yixian did not hesitate, stepped forward, and his body was little submerged in the water waves.
It's like motion sickness, my mind is a little foggy, top-heavy, and it's accompanied by a very uncomfortable feeling.
And when his body was submerged in the waves, his body seemed to pass through the space, and invisible lines poured in from all directions, enveloping him like a cocoon, and then these lines swam through his soul little by little, and finally all the lines disappeared and became invisible.
When he opened his eyes again, Zhang Yixian saw a lot of things, reached out and touched it, a very familiar feeling, and then withdrew his finger and put it to his mouth and bit it hard.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" three screams of pain made him feel as if he wasn't dreaming.
Looking at the familiar campus in front of me, behind me is a university dormitory that has lived for three years, and the familiar can no longer be familiar.
Coupled with the real pain from his fingers, there were tears flowing out of Zhang Yixian's eyes.
It's not that he's not strong enough, it's that he cries with joy, and this instinctive nature of life makes him involuntarily.
"I'm back? I'm back. I am back. Three words of the same sentence express three different meanings, and also represent his different state of mind.
"Hey, what's the matter, hurry up, go later, don't forget to get the book!"
Before he came back to his senses, a familiar voice sounded in his ears, no need to look back, Zhang Yixian also knew that this was his roommate in the dormitory, and they had been together for three years, and everyone was familiar with each other, personality, living habits, and how to behave in the world.
"Okay, you go to the old altar first, and I'll come right away. Holding back the excitement in his heart, Zhang Yixian responded.
Although the situation in front of him is extremely real, he still wants to confirm that according to the starting hand in his memory, the five fingers form a special shape, and a simple punch is struck, and there is no sense of qi in his body.
"That's good. ”
Zhang Yixian was sure that he was really back. But when he pondered how he had come back, it was as if there was a door in his mind that sealed everything that was related to it.
Coming to the classroom, it was a young beautiful teacher who taught Gao Cai this year.
There is no way, those who study finance and accounting have this advantage, not only the girls in the class account for two-thirds, but even the teachers in the college support the whole world.
Familiar faces, familiar environments, everything is so real, along the way, Zhang Yixian is secretly observing, no different from the campus in his memory.
He wanted to laugh, but when he said it, he found that it was in class, and the teacher's and classmates' reactions were very normal.
Because of the interruption in class, the teacher asked him to sing a song.
Real, absolutely true.
This is a scene that Zhang Yixian has never dreamed of.
After school, everyone who knew him well came to say hello, and occasionally an acquaintance teacher passed by, and he also said hello.
There was an indescribable sense of satisfaction, nostalgia, and even happiness in his heart.
Walking out of the classroom, just after coming to the fourth-floor corridor, a feeling of shaking came from all around, and the cement slab above the head began to crack, revealing the thick steel bars inside.
"There was an earthquake!"
Zhang Yixian reacted quickly, the dense crowd on the stairs had long been out of proportion, and some male classmates jumped off the floor directly by pulling the fence.
The vibration became more and more intense, Zhang Yixian wanted to leave, but found a very familiar voice behind him calling out to him.
Turning his head, between the ruins and broken walls, seven or eight weak women were struggling, he didn't think much about it, each of them was his most familiar face, and it was less than half a day before he came back, and he was going to witness life and death under the power of nature.
"Hold on!" Zhang Yixian yelled into the corridor with all his might.
Removing the plasterboard that had fallen off on the top of his head, he still endured the severe pain and persevered, even though his fingers had been pierced with many bloody holes by the thin nails on the plasterboard.
When the earthquake stopped, he knew it was coming soon, and this short gap was the perfect time for rescue.
One, two......
A total of seven weak women were rescued by him.
Looking at the joy on their faces, Zhang Yixian looked back, and there seemed to be something calling to him in his eyes.
He placed a few wounded and exhausted classmates in the corner of the wall, piled a few more tables on top of it, and then passed.
Half of the originally ring-shaped seven-story school building collapsed on its own, and bare steel bars from the fractures were everywhere.
Occasionally, there was a wail, but it was also intermittent.
Zhang Yixian wiped the blood stains on his palms on his clothes, pushed open the classroom where he was originally in class, half of the originally spacious place had become empty, pushed open the door and took another step forward, and below was the ruins of more than 20 meters. And on the ground were erected many straight and sharp steel bars.
Originally near the inner wall, the two girls trembled with fear.
"Li Ruoqin, Sun Xiaoying, you lean against the wall, don't be afraid, I'll save you!"
"Squad leader, I'm afraid. ”
"It's okay, you wait, I'll come right away. ”
Zhang Yixian stood in front of the hanging door, and the distance between him and the two was about three meters.
Zhang Yixian wanted to climb through the glass window on the inner wall of the walkway, but the downward pressure of the cement load-bearing plate had squeezed the glass window to the size of a basketball.
He couldn't get by.
Back to the door again, I saw that the floor under the two girls' feet was a diagonal triangle, and this classroom was at the top of the triangle.
Zhang Yixian is working hard, except for Sun Xiaoying crying, Li Ruoqin is much calmer, as if a boy who can bring people a sense of security appears, or it may be something else.
Those mops in Zhang Yixian's hand tried to reach through.
"Boom. ”
The floor trembled, Zhang Yixian was almost thrown out, and the two girls also screamed in fright.
"Leave us alone, run away!"
Li Ruoqin was roaring, and a smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Yixian's slightly dusty face.
Nature, but with power.
"I'll be right over!"
Zhang Yixian was still working hard, but the frequency of the floor tremors was increasing, and the intensity was increasing.
A second aftershock came.
"As far as the eye can see, from day to morning, the sun will come, but you never pass by......"
"Zhang Yixian, remember, I love you. ”
Gentle words, combined with the constantly falling cement blocks, concrete, everything is buried under the rubble.
A love that ends before it begins, there is bitterness, sweetness, and great pain, and it is also mixed with unspeakable happiness.
Zhang Yixian, who was guarding the door, was stunned, his eyes were dark, and when he opened his eyes again, he took a step forward, a water mark was drawn on his plain face, and tears fell in the water waves under his feet, making a small sound.
