Chapter 24: Wanting to Die and Not Dying
9:32 a.m. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info now.
I've been running for forty minutes. And in the state of the light body technique, my speed is almost the same as the running speed of a horse. But it still didn't come to an end. I've lost at least 20% of my energy. Performing the Dream Technique for Bai Zhan's bastard before also consumed a lot of my vitality. It's a shame that I won't fail the test because of this!
What should I do if I don't pass the test?
Can't stop. I started running again.
Hanging in the hallway were round electric lamps the size of palms, embedded in stone slabs. It's the lights that glow dimly pink.
I feel tired, physically. I've rarely run this far. Although there is vitality to help me. Gasp. Looks like I'm going to have to exercise more.
Keep running, maybe this test has a time limit, and I need to run out as soon as possible to complete this test.
I rested for ten seconds and started running again. There are no endless corridors, as if the whole world is there.
It's 9:58. I'm really tired. The door number has not changed, and the air that always exudes a fresh fragrance, and the corridor that has no end. The door number is now 203. This is already the number I have seen this number many times.
What to do? Keep running.
I accelerated. I'm afraid that I won't pass the test, and if I don't pass the test because I don't run, and I ruin my monk's path, I'll be miserable for the rest of my life. For the sake of desire, I can't help but run.
Before my right foot could fully hit the ground, my left foot was raised.
If there were three horses chasing me right now, I don't think I would be able to catch up with me.
Sweated. Panting and sighing. Lightheadedness. Vitality is close to exhaustion. The road is not yet at the end.
It's 12:23.
I ran for nearly four hours with a light body technique. The road is not yet at the end. How could this not make me despair? I felt like I had fallen into a labyrinth. And there is only one way to this labyrinth. It's stupid to turn back.
I lay on the ground and didn't want to move.
No way. No way. I'm going to keep running. Relying on my great perseverance, I stood up against the cold wall. I started to move slowly, I want to move, at least there is hope.
There is still a last bit of vitality left in my dantian. If I was exhausted, I would have fallen unconscious in no time, after all, I had been running for nearly four hours straight. Without the support of vitality, my body alone cannot resist the consequences of coma.
I walked faster and faster, and eventually I ran again.
How many times have I wanted to fall asleep. Forget it, stop running, just stay motionless. Lie on the ground and don't get up.
14:43.
This time, I lay down for a full two minutes before I got up from the ground.
The vitality in my dantian is gone, completely. But my feet are still lifting and lowering.
I want to go out, I want to finish the test. I want to practice the art of dreaming, I want to practice martial arts, I also want to participate in the debate meeting, get the elixir, get the ingots. I still want to go to many places, and I also want to cultivate the light body technique to the extreme, so that I can run freely in the sky.
I have so much desire to get it done. At this time, I couldn't sleep. No. I'm going to get moving, towards the goal.
In the end, I couldn't tell if I was controlling my feet or my feet were controlling me to walk.
Eyes, half-open, feet, twisting and crutches. It was as if it was going to fall down at any moment.
That's it, I'm still on the road, still walking down the hallway. In order to achieve desire.
After walking for a long time, I saw what seemed to be a light at the end of the hallway, and it made my heart beat much faster. However, I finally collapsed.
The sound of a heavi, falling body rang in my ears.
When consciousness was about to leave me, I saw a pair of feet. I felt someone dragging my body against the ground.
I heard the door open. I smell something better. The fragrance is indescribable, like the sun, warming my body and mind. It's the fragrance of a woman, with a sense of familiarity, maybe it's Teacher Wu Yun.
I don't have the strength to open my eyes, so I can't see. I felt like I was in a soft place, what should be a bed. The bed was also very fragrant. I barely opened my eyes. I saw a woman, and sure enough, it was Teacher Wu Yun's beautiful face.
She was laughing. I wanted to laugh too, but I didn't have the strength. Her hand was on my stomach. A cool sensation continued to come from her hands. This feeling is very familiar to me, and I feel it every time I practice. This is the feeling of vitality entering the body.
Slowly, my strength returned to my body.
"Teacher Wu......" I said.
"Don't say it. She said, "Wait a little longer." ”
My heart was strong and nervous, so I was nervous, I didn't know if I had passed the test or not.
The room is surrounded by green wallpaper on one side, black wallpaper on one side, blood-colored wallpaper on the other, and white on the last side. There is a bookshelf, which is not big, and it looks like only a few dozen books. There is a red chair and a futon in front of the bookshelf. Now I'm lying on the bed. The room is 40 square meters in size, and the floor is agate-colored.
"Okay, what are you looking at?" she said with a faint smile. She was dressed in black, the loose one. A black hair is simply tied back of the head. The face is very white and somewhat thin, with a pointed chin, bright eyes, and long eyelashes. It's these big black eyes that often make me feel embarrassed.
I hurriedly climbed down from her bed, lowered my head a little apprehensively, and said, "It's nothing, Mr. Wu." ”
"You did a good job this time, you lasted 9 hours and ran more than 200 kilometers. ”
It's 17:37. I subconsciously looked at my watch.
"It's a test. ”
And so it was.
"What test?" I asked.
"It's not a secret, it's just that you have less contact with people, and people who haven't participated in this test tell you, and I won't talk about this test. After reaching the fourth level, you can only practice the art of martial arts, but before, you were all cultivating vitality, and your body was more or less inferior, this test is to make you realize the importance of the body, just having vitality, it is not enough, the body is also very important. This time, you persevered for 9 hours in time, which is considered qualified, and the distance has also run more than 200 kilometers, which is also qualified. I've taught dozens of students from grades 3 to 4, and you're the seventh to pass such a test. ”
When I heard the word qualified, I was greatly relieved. My tone was also much more relaxed, "Teacher Wu, I entered the illusion after entering the seventh-level dormitory building?"
I asked, looking into her wide eyes.
"That's an illusion indeed. If you don't run, I'll send you a message in an hour, threatening you with expulsion from the academy if you fail the test, and let you run in one direction as hard as you can. Or conjure up a monster to chase you. Hehe, but you actually ran in one direction by yourself, and in the end, you were only a few hundred meters away from the finish line, you know?"
I could hear the admiration in her mouth. But I didn't feel complacent. If it hadn't been for the ghost boss pointing me in the direction and letting me run, I probably wouldn't know what to do.
