Duan Xiyun closed his eyes and recalled the route of the map, nodded and said, "I understand." ”

"If you don't find enough paper talismans to get out of the right door within the time of a single incense injection, even if you don't pass the test, please leave Shaoyang as soon as possible, because this place is not for you. Yin asked.

Duan Xiyun was not in the mood to listen to Yinhang's words, and rushed straight into the left door.

With a wave of the sleeves of Yin's hanging robe, the long incense that had been prepared on the incense burner immediately burned.

"I don't know if this kid successfully got out of the palace, or was he trapped in it?" Although Yin Xuan's eyes were closed, it could be seen from the slight movement of the corners of his mouth that he was also quite looking forward to Duan Xiyun's performance.

After Duan Xiyun entered the labyrinth, the original silence in the hall returned, and the agility of Duan Xiyun's memory touched Yin's heartstrings and reminded him of a past incident. It was about sixty years ago, when a strange young man entered the temple and remained silent, after the first seat explained the rules of the test, the young man still did not snort, until the master asked him if he understood, the young man nodded seriously, and it took only half of the time for the young man to collect enough paper talismans to come out, and in the sixty years since then, there has not been a person who has used less than the young man. Sixty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and that ignorant boy has become the master of the Wind Courtyard today, and it is Yinhang himself.

Yin Hang in the memory suddenly heard a low sound of opening the door "Ah", he was immediately startled on the ground, his mental arithmetic was the most accurate, although he did not open his eyes, he could accurately determine that the incense had not been burned halfway.

"Yinhang Zhenren, I found ten yellow talismans, and when I came out of the door on the right, it should be considered a successful pass, right?" Duan Xiyun walked over with a stack of paper talismans in his hand, and walked over happily and a little excitedly, he didn't expect that those so-called tests were not as difficult as he imagined.

"You can remember the route of the hive maze clearly with your memory, that's for sure, but what I want to ask is, how can you find more than half of the yellow paper talismans in the other intricate rooms so quickly?" Yin Xuan was so surprised that his eyebrows and forehead were beating violently.

"Those yellow paper talismans were deliberately injected with a strange spiritual power when making talismans, and after I found the first one, I found other paper talismans with the resonance of their spiritual power fluctuations. Duan Xiyun said calmly.

"You already have the qualifications to stay in the Shaoyang Palace, but I don't know if you have the qualifications to cultivate. "The yellow paper talisman is drawn by Yin Hang's own hands, and the spiritual power poured into the paper talisman is actually very weak, if you are not a master of the Tao or a person who is born with a special comprehension of spiritual power, you will never be able to feel it.

Yin Xuan finally opened his eyes after speaking, Duan Xiyun was staring at his face, and his heart couldn't help beating violently, because the pair of blue eyes under Yin Xuan's forehead were so deep that it was chilling. The Kunlun Mountains span the Western Regions, and Yin may have the blood of the Western Regions, so he has a pair of eyes that are different from those of the Han people.

"What are the next tests?" Duan Xiyun asked.

"Good boy, you will know when you come with this seat. ”

Yin Hang got up from the futon and walked out of the courtyard. Duan Xiyun didn't care so much about following him.

Soon the two of them had come to the back mountain of Shaoyang Palace.

Yin said: "The second test is not as complicated as before, it is just a simple matter of carrying water, chopping wood, and sharpening swords. ”

"I had to do this kind of thing every day when I first entered Siyun Concept, is this second test really the only one?" Duan Xiyun couldn't believe his ears, he didn't expect that the difficulties in Yinjing's mouth were actually the daily rough work of normal people.

"That's all there is to it. ”

Yin Xuan said and took Duan Xiyun to the lake, which was about half a hundred zhang long and wide. There was also a pit of the same size but dried up a hundred meters next to the lake.

"You just have to pick up all the water from this side of the lake to the dry side to complete one thing. ”

Duan Xiyun heard Yinhang's words and immediately petrified in place.

Then Yinhang took Duan Xiyun to the side of the mountain, where there was a pile of tree trunks piled up.

"All you have to do is cut down all the trunks of this pile of trees into branches that are about two feet long and two inches thick for burning. ”

Duan Xiyun saw that this pile of tree trunks, which was taller than the archway of Shaoyang Palace Mountain, was also petrified in place.

In the end, Yin Xuan took Duan Xiyun to an iron workshop, and there were a hundred pieces of iron four feet long, six inches wide, and three inches thick on both sides of the workshop.

"You only need to sharpen these hundred pieces of iron into a hundred swords of normal proportions, and you will complete all the tests. Yin Xuan said flatly.

"It's clear that you're playing tricks on people, this is something that can't be done at all, it's obviously just a trick by your Shaoyang Palace to keep people out. Duan Xiyun couldn't help but be angry when he heard this, and shouted angrily.

"If you feel that you can't finish it, you can always give up, just say to this seat, and you can go down the mountain immediately, and no one will stop you. Yin Hang didn't get angry when he heard the rude words of his juniors, his expression was still as plain as ever, maybe he had seen this situation a lot and had long been accustomed to it.

Duan Xiyun couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart when he heard this, and said in his heart: "My uncle and I traveled thousands of miles to Shaoyang Palace, if we encounter a small difficulty, we will give up easily, wouldn't it be in vain to waste the hard work of the master and uncle, if you give up and what is the difference between you and your previous self, let alone protect the people around you, let alone catch up with Shangguan Rui." ”

"Okay, I'll do it. After a strong struggle in his heart, Duan Xiyun decided to stay and try it for the time being.

"That's great, you just stay here and work slowly, and when you're done, just let me know. Yin Xuan nodded and left.

After Yin hung away, Duan Xiyun was left alone, and he planned to carry water in the morning, sharpen his sword at noon, and chop wood in the afternoon.

After deciding to stay, he worked for three days, and found that the lake had not diminished at all, and Shibayama had only cut a corner of Mount Tai, and the progress of sharpening the sword was even slower, and even the centimeters around a piece of iron were not worn out.

Duan Xiyun lay on the grass weakly, he was so tired that he was about to collapse in the past three days, but the results were still minimal, he muttered with his hands on the pillow: "According to the current progress, I can't finish these damn jobs in more than ten or twenty years, what kind of situation has Shangguan Rui advanced in twenty years, and the senior brothers who will think about Yunguan in twenty years have already taken me away from me, twenty years, life is short, how many more twenty years do I have, anyway, cultivation is the same everywhere, so why waste time by forcibly staying in this ghost place." ”

Duan Xiyun immediately bounced up and turned around to leave, and suddenly remembered Ziyang's words: "There is no opportunistic way to cultivate, you must have the will and perseverance beyond ordinary people, and you can only achieve success in a down-to-earth and gradual manner." I also remembered Jinping's words: "In today's world, only Shaoyang can keep pace with Wenshi, and only in Shaoyang can you better play your talents." ”

"What kind of stinky Shaoyang faction, I don't know which stupid person in the Shaoyang faction came up with these unjust deeds that only idiots can think of. Duan Xiyun complained, but his steps to leave had stopped.

Struggling to stay, he continued to work, and he did it for fifteen days, it was an afternoon Duan Xiyun was chopping firewood, no matter how hard he tried and how he insisted on chopping, the pile of firewood in front of him was still as high as a mountain. The more he chopped, the more angry he became, holding the firewood knife in his hand and slashing frantically towards the firewood like a madman, until his arm was numb, he threw the firewood knife in his hand behind him, and he seemed to have a painful feeling of leaving all his troubles behind: "I'm such a fool, I've lived here for fifteen days, what a bullshit Shaoyang faction, I'm not doing it." ”

This time is different from last time, he has already decided to leave here, so he walked straight forward without looking back, he just wanted to get as far away from this place as possible, and it was best not to even think about it again in this life.

He went straight forward, and a pair of bright but disappointed eyes suddenly appeared behind him, which made Duan Xiyun's heart tremble and stop, this kind of look he will never forget in his life, it was Shangguan Rui's eyes looking at him at the Wanguan Conference, and countless pairs of dim and frustrated eyes appeared around him at the same time, which were the eyes of the same door after his defeat at the Wanguan Conference. Then there are the eyes of Jin Ping and Jin Ming with high hopes, the eyes of his parents looking forward to his son Jackie Chan, the eyes of Ziyang expecting him, and the eyes of Xia Yuer when he died.

Duan Xiyun knelt on the ground with weakness and prostration, his eyes were already hot with tears, his hands were dripping with tears on the ground, and his mouth was choked: "It turns out that everyone is calling me, telling me not to give up - even if I know that it is impossible to accomplish, I know that I am like a fool to do this, I will be stupid to the end." ”

Duan Xiyun knew that he was carrying everyone's expectations, and as he said that, he stood up again and ran back, he desperately wiped his tears with his sleeve, but the corners of his mouth showed a relieved smile.

He retrieved his abandoned knife and returned to the anvil again, where he continued his never-ending chopping of wood.

In this way, Duan Xiyun insisted on this boring and boring rough work day after day, and unknowingly had endured thirty days. On the thirty-first day, this day was also the same as usual, Duan Xiyun habitually picked up a bucket to go to the lake to fetch water. Suddenly, there was a dry laugh in the sky.

"Hahaha, it's really not easy for young people, you can support you for a month, congratulations on becoming a new disciple of the Shaoyang Sect. ”

Duan Xiyun heard that it was Yinhang's voice, and for some reason his voice came from the sky, and suddenly all the scenes in front of him were twisted together, and his head was dizzy.

When Duan Xiyun's mind was clear and he opened his eyes again, the Yin Hang in front of him was still sitting on the futon, and his body instantly shifted back to the Wind Courtyard.

"What the hell is going on?" Duan Xiyun asked in surprise.

["It's a flood illusion."] At this time, he finally heard Ziyang's long-lost voice, it was obvious that he had already known that Duan Xiyun was actually in the illusion just now, because Ziyang respected the Wind Academy, for the sake of fairness, he didn't remind Duan Xiyun, he knew that this was a test of Duan Xiyun's will and perseverance. ]

"You just walked into my 'Flood Realm' illusion. ”

"Illusion, how could I fall for illusion for no reason?" Duan Xiyun looked dazed, as if in a dream.
