Chapter 8 Medioccrity

The sky was already bright, Lin Yizhi and Lu Yun walked out of the Hall of Separation from Worry one after another, the warm sun shone on Lin Yizhi's whole body, and the cold and cold air of last night finally stayed away from the ten-year-old child.

There is a wind, a breeze blowing on his face, very comfortable and gentle, just like Yizhi's mother doting on his face. He suddenly missed this kind and simple peasant woman, and a series of changes made him too late to think about the fact that he had no relatives, and now, everything was quiet, and everything was as quiet and warm as ever. But can he really go back to the usual thoughts in his heart when he was young?

It was the warmth and happiness that lasted for ten years in his memory, and the sunshine was still the same as the sunshine that woke him up every morning in Liyang Fengling Village, but the distant mountains in the distance, the dense woods, the rustling leaves, and the ethereal clouds, everything reminded him that this was Liwei Mountain, and this was a world that he was completely unfamiliar with, and Liyang, Fengling Village, gentle mother, serious father, honest Uncle Wang, The old-fashioned and somewhat pedantic old master Li, as well as the sweet tofu flowers in Xiaoru's house in the market, everything gradually dissipated and dissipated with this kind cloud.

There's no going back. Lin Yizhi was still a little immature, and tears had overflowed his eyes at some point. Loneliness and loneliness eroded the heart of this ten-year-old child, like a huge and sharp blade, inserted into his heart, painful, bitter, hesitant, helpless.

Memories are the most torturous thing in the world, it can't be seen or touched, but it really stands in front of you, tearing at your most sensitive and fragile nerves, it always tells you inadvertently, it has grown old, it has yellowed.

The road ahead will depend on himself, Lin Yizhi opened his arms and embraced the sunshine of the mountain, he told himself that from today on, all the joys, sorrows, and unknowns in this strange and somewhat terrifying world will be waiting for him, but is he really ready?

He was only a ten-year-old child, but how could he face it alone? Lin Yizhi asked himself over and over again, can I? Can I really do it? But no matter how he wavered, his heart told him that he had to get acquainted with every plant and tree here as soon as possible, and even if it was a big challenge, he had to face it by himself, because he only had himself! This was his only bet.

He was alone, facing this whole world that was a little strange.

At that moment, he suddenly wanted to laugh helplessly.

Lu Yun saw Lin Yizhi stop, his hands spread, and he said softly: "Little brother, isn't the morning when we left the Sorrowful Mountain different from yours." ”

Lin Yizhi paused and said, "No, there is just one more kind of beauty here, so beautiful that I can't breathe." "Senior Brother Lu, let's not go back, I still don't understand a lot about the Leaving Sorrow Sect, I'll ask you for advice while we go." ”

Lu Yun is a good teacher, usually guarding the mountain gate alone, and no one speaks, but he is also happy to be so at this time, so he admits with a mouth: "Okay little brother, if you don't understand anything, just ask me." ”

The two walked towards the bottom of the mountain, and along the way, Lu Yun told a lot of things about Liwu Mountain. Liwu Mountain is divided into nine veins, the nine veins are respected by Liwu Peak, Qi Nan Zhenren is the head of Liwu Sect, and the seniority is also the highest, followed by Wangwu Peak Qingxuan Venerable, Qingxuan Venerable Master is in charge of the criminal law on behalf of the heavens, if there is a disciple who violates the door rules, he will deal with it, so in the hearts of the disciples of Liwu Sect, the deterrent power of the Qingxuan Master is faintly greater than that of the real person in charge. The two of them have the highest seniority, and the remaining eight veins are the first, regardless of seniority, and they all command the disciples of the first vein, and the Phantom Dust Master's Phantom Worry Peak is the most special, this Phantom Worry Peak only accepts female disciples.

Lin Yizhi suddenly asked, "What about the first Lu Wujian Master of Mo Worry Peak?" I see that the real person in charge of the sect seems to be more respectful to him. ”

Lu Yun couldn't help admiring Lin Yizhi's young age and keen observation, so he smiled and said, "Don't think that Uncle Lu has a strange appearance, so you underestimate him." According to the elder brothers, at the beginning of the death of the previous generation of the head of our Liwu Sect, Master Lu's status was still faintly above the Master of Qingxuan, and even the head of the sect had to give him three points, and he was quite resolute in doing things, but in the past twenty years, he somehow was unusual, rarely participated in the affairs of the sect, and rarely appeared in public, most of them were in his own Mo Worry Peak closed door, as if he was in seclusion, few of the new disciples knew that there was such a first uncle, but I heard that Senior Brother Chu Xiao, the chief disciple of Wangwu Peak, said that this Uncle Lu's cultivation is really unfathomable, but I have never seen him perform。 Due to his laziness to manage the affairs of his subordinates in the past few decades, his disciples are the most rare, as few as two slaps can be counted. ”

Lin Yizhi nodded and said, "So that's the case." Lu Yun hurriedly said: "You are new here, and you have not officially entered the door of leaving worries, and we are very close to each other, let me tell you one thing, you don't want to spread it." ”

Lin Yizhi nodded hurriedly and said, "Senior Brother Lu, don't worry, I only know you one of these Troubles, I want to say that I don't know who to say it to." ”

Lu Yun said with a smile: "That's right, let me tell you, when you enter the Divorce Sect and choose a teacher, don't choose Mo Youfeng's Uncle Lu's disciples, because their lineage is the most scarce, and Uncle Lu is too lazy to discipline his disciples, so ......"

Lin Yizhi secretly wrote down and said, "Thank you Senior Brother Lu for mentioning it." ”

Lu Yun smiled and said: "Little brother Yizhi doesn't have to care too much, you are the person who is favored by the real person in charge of the sect, if it weren't for the opposition of the other first seats today, I am afraid that you would already be a sought-after figure, and the people who are valued by the real people of the sect, where is the poor qualification? It's just that the real person in charge of the sect has long stopped accepting disciples, but after tomorrow's trial, you will be robbed by the other first seats." ”

Lin Yizhi hurriedly shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Lu praised me too early, I have never been in contact with this cultivation path, but I don't know what my qualifications are." ”

Lu Yun pulled Lin Yizhi's clothes and said, "Brother Yizhi, what do you think of my master's single-minded Taoist?"

Lin Yizhi thought about the handsome, kind and amiable Taoist priest, and said, "I think he is very good to people. ”

Seeing this, Lu Yun said with some pride: "Yes, yes, the disciples of my master's sect are the ones with the largest number of disciples besides the master and the master of Qingxuan, Brother Yizhi, after tomorrow's trial, can you consider joining my master's disciple, so that we are still in the same place, so that we can take care of it." ”

Lu Yun's words were indeed sincere, and Lin Yi was quite moved in his heart, so he thanked: "Thank you, Senior Brother Lu, I will listen to you when I arrive." ”

The two chatted while walking, and the strange flowers and plants on the road, the rare elixir, the clouds were kind and beautiful.

Lin Yizhi suddenly asked again, "Senior Brother Lu, do you know what that trial is all about?"

Lu Yun said with a smile: "It's nothing unusual, I have no less than 10,000 disciples in the first line, in order to distinguish qualifications, and in order to be able to select talents, the new disciples have to go to the trial hall to test, this trial is presided over by Uncle Jing Linan, the specific operation is very simple, you can't remember what I said, then you just have to do it according to Uncle Jing's instructions." ”

Lin Yizhi seemed to have an understanding, so he asked again: "How can I tell the level of the qualifications of the new disciples?"

Lu Yun said: "The roof of our trial hall is the nine-colored star soul stone that the patriarch of the Liwu Sect founded, Liwuzi, with great magical powers, from the wild land, after the trial of the new disciples, each of the nine-colored star soul stones will emit light, more than three are outer disciples, with slightly worse qualifications, within five are inner disciples, with medium qualifications, and more than five are core disciples, with good qualifications." ”

Lin Yizhi said: "There are still such stones in the world, but I don't know that when Senior Brother Lu tried it, a few stones emitted light. ”

Lu Yun smiled, and said with a proud expression: "I'm not very useful, there are seven stones that emit light." ”

Lin Yizhi's young heart couldn't help but praise: "Senior Brother Lu is so powerful. ”

Lu Yun couldn't help but feel a little proud when he saw that the little brother's eyes were full of admiration, but he said, "Senior Brother Lin, you praise you falsely." ”

Unconsciously, he had already called Lin Yizhi, who had not yet officially started, as a junior brother. Lu Yun said again: "However, there are also many geniuses in my sect, such as the chief disciple of the Venerable Master Qingxuan of Wangwu Peak, I heard from the senior brothers that all the nine star soul stones emitted light when he was trying, and Duanmu Ningque, the female disciple of the Phantom Dust Master Taixin mentioned by the first masters today, also emitted light from the nine star soul stones." ”

"Ahh

Lu Yun said again: "But Senior Brother Lin shouldn't favor one over the other, I don't think your qualifications will be bad, even if you will also light up seven or eight star soul stones, I can't say." ”

Lin Yizhi didn't refute either, and suddenly asked: "That Senior Brother Chu Xiao is a brilliant person, but who is the newly accepted Senior Sister Duanmu Ningque?" ”

Lu Yun smiled and said: "Who knows this, Uncle Phantom Dust is the most protective, almost no one has seen this Duanmu Ningque, but I heard some well-informed senior brothers say that it seems to be a little girl, but I am afraid that it is not much older than your age." ”

The two of them were talking to themselves, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in front of them, and when I looked up, I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man in white walking towards me.

Such a dashing and handsome young man in white, Lu Yun's appearance is already quite good, but if compared to the young man in white in front of him, it is dwarfed, this young man in white, fluttering in white, like an immortal, raising his hands and feet, and revealing an irresistible heroic posture, but seeing that his eyes are like stars, his sword eyebrows fly obliquely into his sideburns, his mouth is like a gall, his handsome face is quite angular, and his face is extremely chic and comfortable. Behind his back is a fairy sword that flashes with white cold light, the fairy sword looks like a peerless magic weapon, and the faint white light flashes with a seductive cold air, which makes it even more obvious that this young man is floating out of the dust.

The young man in white had already seen Lin Yizhi and the others, so he took two steps tightly, but his expression was kind and tight, and he hugged his fists and said: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Lu, but this little brother is a face-to-face student, isn't he a new junior brother?"

Seeing this, Lu Yun hurriedly returned the salute, and said with a respectful expression: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Chu Xiao, this place is far away from the Sorrowful Peak, why don't you see Senior Brother Imperial Sword." ”

It turned out that this young man was Chu Xiao, the chief disciple of the Venerable Master Qingxuan of Wangwu Peak, Chu Xiao smiled indifferently and said: "This morning's Liwu Mountain is the most beautiful, if I don't let down the beautiful scenery of this mountain, besides, I don't have much to do, and it is quite comfortable to go all the way." He let out a hearty laugh.

Chu Xiao was personable in every word and deed, and sure enough, he responded to the name of this senior brother, he seemed to have a natural affinity, and even Lin Yizhi couldn't help but be infected by him, and laughed.

Lu Yun hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Chu Xiao is good Yaxing, isn't this little brother the little brother who fainted in the belly of the mountain that I rescued with you yesterday." ”

Chu Xiao looked up and down, then patted his head and said, "Hehe, it's exactly, if I don't see you for one night, I will forget it, sin, sin." As he spoke, he took Lin Yizhi's hand and looked at it again: "The little brother is really different, I'm afraid he has become the most sought-after item of your first uncle again." ”

Lin Yizhi hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, I will go to the trial hall in three days before I can officially join the Leaving Worry Sect." ”

Chu Xiao nodded with a smile and said: "That's the case, but it's okay, the trial is just a formality, Brother Yizhi don't take it to heart, just play normally, if there is anything difficult, you can come to Wangwu Peak to find me, if I can help, I will do my best." After saying that, it didn't seem to be a lie in his eyes, but a sincere meaning.

Lin Yizhi hurriedly bowed and thanked him: "Senior Brother Xie Chuxiao rescued him yesterday, and after the trial, Yizhi will definitely go to Wangfeng to visit Senior Brother Chu Xiao." ”

Chu Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said encouragingly: "Good brother, our Leaving the Sorrow Sect is the first cultivation place in the world, work hard, in the future, we can contribute to the Leaving Worry Sect, and it will not be in vain for the teacher's grace." ”

Lin Yizhi hurriedly said: "What Senior Brother Chu said is very true, boy, I also want to join in earlier." ”

Chu Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "Little brother, can you have a master in the picture, if you want to come to my Wangwu Peak, I will go to Master Qingxuan to say it." ”

Chu Xiao's face was full of sincerity, and he could see that he was indeed thinking about this little brother.

Lin Yizhi hurriedly said: "No, no, no, don't work Senior Brother Chu, I'll decide after the trial." ”

Chu Xiao nodded, the three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, Chu Xiao said goodbye and left, and after a while, the white clothes disappeared into the mountains, leaving only a few Taoist rumors to echo for a long time: "The road inherits the sky, I am free, singing and laughing at the red dust, the fairy sword slashes the demon soul, this middle man is a child, and the blue blood leaves the heart ......"

Lin Yizhi secretly said: "This Senior Brother Chu Xiao is really a first-class character. ”

Lu Yun seemed to see what Lin Yizhi was thinking, so he looked at Chu Xiao and said: "Senior Brother Chu is young, but he is a few years younger than me, but he is a big man, and he is really the chief disciple of Wangwu Peak, his words and deeds have won the appreciation of all the senior brothers, and he has long been a model for leaving the Worry Sect." ”

Lin Yizhi looked at the place where Chu Xiao disappeared for a long time, and after a while, he asked again: "Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Chu is young, who is higher and lower between you and him in cultivating the true Dao method. ”

Lu Yun smiled and said: "He is a genius who is not born in the world, don't look at his age, I have left the Worry Sect's mental method to practice the Worry Infinite Dao to the fifth level, and my cultivation is already the realm of the sixth level of Jindan." After that, there was a yearning on his face.

The two walked for a while, and Lin Yizhi suddenly asked again: "Senior Brother Lu, boy, I have shallow knowledge, we are all people who cultivate the true Dao, how can there be a distinction between good and evil? ”

Lu Yun heard the sound and said, "Senior Brother Lin's question is very good. In fact, the way to cultivate the truth, thousands of difficulties and dangers, ordinary people are impossible to make a difference, the number of orders in the world, are all to the heavens, if anyone wants to have great magical powers, longevity and heaven Qi, are against the sky, so the difficulties that people who cultivate the truth have to face can be imagined. I am a righteous person, I seek the Tao wholeheartedly, just to help the heavenly way in the world, hoe the strong and help the weak, and with the right heart, so I am a righteous person who is upright, walking at the end, and walking right. On the way to cultivating the truth, there are four major righteous schools: Liwu Sect, Zen Silence Temple, Wenjian Valley, and Sacrificial Snow Tower. These famous and decent people have clear grievances, just to be worthy of this orthography. And those demon sects that have also cultivated themselves are acting upside down, there is no distinction between black and white, and cultivating the true practice is also a harm to heaven and destroys people's lives, they are bloodthirsty, and all of them are people who do no evil, and everyone who is righteous will be punished. Five hundred years ago, the two wars of the righteous and demonic, my righteous path was led by the Sorrow Sect, killing countless demon sect members, forcing the Blood Feather Temple of the Demon Sect to collapse at that time, the Blood Feather Demon Emperor fell, and my righteous path was also quite damaged. Therefore, Senior Brother Lin, if you see someone in the Demon Sect in the future, you must punish him first!"

Lin Yizhi's face turned pale, and he said solemnly: "Yizhi has written it down." Then he said: "But isn't the Demon Sect's Blood Feather Temple already destroyed, how can there still be a Demon Sect?"

Lu Yun said again: "Although the Demon Sect Blood Feather Temple was destroyed, many of the old demons who were the backbone of the Demon Sect at that time had absconded and hidden. These four Demon Sects are: the Poison Killing Gate in the Hundred Poison Valley of the Ten Thousand Thousand Mountains with the most powerful power, the Yeri Sect at the junction of the newly emerging Extreme South Barbarian Domain and the Flame Heaven Domain, and the Sanmiao Palace of the Vast Lake in the South of the Yangtze River, and the Refining Valley in the Western Necromantic Daze that you know. These sects are always clamoring to rebuild the glory of the Blood Feather Temple, so there are many disputes with my Orthodox Church, if Senior Brother Lin encounters them in the future, he must not have a merciful heart, and he will get rid of them quickly. ”

"Refining Valley!" Lin Yizhi said in a whisper of hatred. In his heart, he has killed the disciples of the Refining Spirit Valley thousands of times.

The two walked all the way, talking all the way, and then came to a row of wings at the foot of the mountain. Lu Yun hugged his fists and said, "Senior Brother Lin, you can rest in this wing room for a few days, you have enough spirits, and I will take you to the trial hall in three days." ”

Lin Yizhi nodded, and the two said goodbye to each other.

Midnight, wings.

The wind at night from the mountain is still very cold, blowing the pine forest and rustling. There was silence, and there was only a disc-like moon hanging lonely in the middle of the sky, illuminating the open space in front of the entire chamber. The clearings and mountains were empty, and they seemed quite lonely and bleak.

In the darkness, there were suddenly several terrible cries: "Don'tβ€”don't kill meβ€”you demons!"

Lin Yizhi's eyes opened suddenly, and there was a tumbling darkness in front of him, and he sat up suddenly, only to feel a cold sweat flowing from his whole body. Lin Yizhi sat like that for a long time, motionless, the darkness shrouded everything in the world, and even the young man's face couldn't be seen clearly.

After a long time, Lin Yizhi suddenly felt a trace of coldness coming, he put on his clothes, and slowly walked out of bed, as if he had tripped over a stool, and his figure was a little staggered in the dark. Slowly, he touched the candle on the wooden table and lit it gently.

Suddenly, a gentle glimmer of light sprinkled over the entire wooden house, driving away the darkness in front of him, as if it also drove away the deep fear in the young man's heart. The whirring wind came, Lin Yizhi looked at the window, a window was not closed, he gently came to the window and closed the window, but it was not too cold now.

Suddenly, he felt as if something was in the pocket of his underwear. He thought to himself. Small wooden box!

It was something that Qi Xiaoqi handed him when he was dying, what was in it?

Lin Yiyi took out the small wooden box and put it on the wooden table, under the faint yellow candlelight, the small wooden box was there quietly, and there was no trace of specialness.

What's in it?

Lin Yizhi was a little curious, but he didn't dare to open it, for fear that after opening, something might dissipate automatically when it touched the air. After struggling for a long time, he was still a young man, so he reached out to open the lock on the small wooden box, but it took a long time to open it.

Lin Yizhi opened the door and went out, and returned to the room after a while, with a small hammer in his hand that he got out of nowhere.

After knocking vigorously a few times, I could only hear a soft "click-" sound, but the lock on the small wooden box was gently opened.

Lin Yizhi struggled for a while, and then he stretched out his hand tremblingly and gently opened the box.

There was half an epistle written in blood, the other half was missing, and two worn-out scrolls, and nothing else.

Lin Yizhi gently picked up the half of the blood book, only to see that there were only two big characters written on it in blood: "Yizhi". Only then did he realize that it must have been written by his own father or mother when he was dying, in order to tell others his name.

He looked at it for a long time, and the hand holding the blood book began to tremble slightly, and gradually trembled non-stop, and the blood book seemed to have a thousand catties of burden, and he looked very difficult to hold it. Then he pressed the blood book tightly to his chest, and then closed his eyes tightly, for a long time, just like that, he didn't move, and suddenly, tears flowed down his face.

After a while, he folded the blood book, put it aside, and picked up the first scroll, the first page of the scroll was bronze, there were no pictures on it, only two clumsy big characters, and two slightly smaller characters, Lin Yizhi recognized: The first scroll of the day!

Lin Yizhi vaguely knew that this was one of the so-called Seven Heavenly Books called the Rijuan, which seemed to record a very powerful cultivation method.

He was full of curiosity, turned the first page and read it, but after reading it for a long time, in addition to not knowing many words, the sentences in the book were difficult to understand, and he couldn't understand what he was saying at all, so Lin Yizhi abandoned the book and picked up the last book to read.

This last book is more like a bound booklet, with not a single word on the blue cover. It's just that on the back of the cover is a line of small print: This book is what I have learned all my life, all kinds of methods of the Yin Li Sect, adults have certain exercises and can be used by those who have broken the entire book of heaven and the scroll, otherwise, if you forcibly cultivate, too much time, you will enter the body, erode the mind, and forever fall into the devil's way. Be careful. - Lin Tianyin.

Lin Yizhi just stared straight at the last three, staring intently, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and the three eye-catching words of Lin-Tian-Yin-! hit the softest place in his heart.

Father! It was what his father had left him, the only thing he had left to him in the world that he had never met but had never met. As for what was before these three words, it didn't matter, everything didn't matter! The word Lin Tianyin had already filled his heart, crushing his deepest soul little by little.

Lin Yizhi muttered, "Father...... Father ......"

In the dark night, on the extremely silent Liwu Mountain, a heart-rending and incomparably desolate cry came: "Father!-"

After a long time, Lin Yizhi gently opened the first page of this book, and there were two big words on it: "Condensation"!

Lin Yizhi knew that this was a booklet that recorded all the exercises of his biological father, and as long as he carefully watched every step of the Qi Condensation Chapter, then all the glory of his father was about to bloom on his body.

However, he hesitated, and even a little dazed, and there was still a trace of fanaticism and struggle in his confused eyes. Because the line on the back of this cover clearly says that those who are adults and have read through the seven heavenly books and daily scrolls can be used, otherwise the evil qi will enter the body and fall into the demon path forever!

Lin Yizhi was still young, and he didn't know what the evil qi was entering his body, but the four small words of the Eternal Fallen Demon Dao burned his eyes like a needle prick.

What should I do? Lin Yizhi asked himself over and over again, and suddenly, he pushed the booklet suddenly, stood up, and staggered towards the bed, but just took a few steps, and stood there like a log.

What if I'm lucky, or if I practice the path of renunciation? A ten-year-old boy just stood there dumbfounded, motionless, but the frenzy in his expression became more and more intense.

Finally, he resolutely took the first step, which seemed to be as difficult as thousands of years.

He walked briskly to the table and opened the first page: Condensation.

............

Three days later, he left the temple of sorrow. Today's temple of sorrow seems to be a little more than usual. Lin Yizhi stood in the hall and looked at it, the first seat of the Eight Great Ones and the real people of Qi Nan were present, and behind each of them stood a disciple, either tall and burly or radiant, handsome and chic, this Leaving the Sorrow Sect is indeed a place where talents come out in large numbers.

Lu Yun whispered to Lin Yizhi: "They are the chief disciples of the first seat of each lineage, except for my master's disciple, because my senior brother Zhao Shinan is not here, the others are Chu Xiao, the first apprentice of Uncle Qingxuan of Wangwu Peak, and the tall and burly is Zeng Ruijin, the first apprentice of Uncle Lu Wujian of Mo Worrying Peak......" Lin Yizhi looked in the direction of Lu Yun's finger, and saw that the elegant and free Chu Xiao was looking at him with a smile on his face, Lin Yizhi nodded slightly at him, and then looked at Lu Wujian, Lin Yizhi saw an extremely discordant scene.

It turned out that this Lu Wujian had a long body, a jujube core head on his long neck, but this Zeng Ruijin was burly and tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his face was dignified, and the two of them couldn't tell what was awkward when they stood together. Lin Yizhi saw it in his eyes, and held back his strength to prevent himself from laughing.

Lu Yun also introduced the chief disciples of the other lineages, and Lin Yi couldn't recognize them for a while, just because the chief disciple under the Illusory Dust Master Taizao was a woman, he could remember that this person was called Su Yuan.

After Lu Yun finished his introduction, he said to Lin Yizhi secretly: "Senior Brother Lin, it is really the real person in charge of the sect, what a big pomp, not to mention all the first seats, even their chief disciples have arrived, even Duanmu Ningque did not have such treatment when he entered." ”

Lin Yizhi obviously learned a lot this time, and after only looking at it for a moment, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Boy Lin Yizhi bows to the real person, your first uncles and senior brothers and sisters." ”

The voice fell, and all the recognizable eyes present were focused on Lin Yizhi's thin body, some of them looked kind, some of them looked encouraging, some of them had no emotion, and some of them were burning. Looking at Lin Yizhi is like sitting on pins and needles.

When the real person saw Lin Yizhi arrive, he said loudly: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, you can move to the trial hall with me." ”

Everyone gave their respects, and then followed the tribulation to the trial hall behind the Great Hall of Sorrow.

Lin Yizhi walked at the end, without saying a word, his body trembled slightly because of nervousness, and his little fists were clenched tightly. Lu Yun saw it and said, "Senior Brother Lin, don't be nervous, this is just going through the motions, the person who is in charge of the real person, no one dares to talk nonsense!" Lin Yizhi nodded at him gratefully, but he still didn't say a word.

Hall of Trials.

The trial hall is far from having only one layer as Lin Yizhi imagined, but it is actually the shape of the tower layer, in fact, it is more appropriate to call it a trial tower. This trial hall is a hexagonal four-storey wooden building, it is not very majestic and tall, nor is it as majestic as the palace of sorrow, but it is also exquisite and mysterious, the interval of each floor is about four zhang high, the whole building is ancient and extraordinary, the flat ground is more than 30 zhang high, it can also be regarded as a higher building in the religion, the eaves corner of each floor of this trial hall are hung with a brass bell, when the wind blows, jingling, very pleasant.

In the middle of the hall is the gate of the trial hall, and it is difficult to face Jing Li: "Senior Brother Jing, are you ready?" Jing Li nodded his head, and Qi said: "So, let's start." After that, I didn't see how he behaved, but with a stroke in front of him, a scene appeared in front of everyone's eyes, which was the picture of the top of the trial hall. I saw that there was a huge gossip pattern on the top of the hall, shining with a pale golden light, and there seemed to be a slight vibration, and the east and west, north and south, southeast and northeast, southwest and northwest and the center of the gossip were inlaid with a transparent stone made of unknown materials. It was the nine Star Soul Stones.

Jing Linan walked to the front door and gently flicked the door.

"Squeak, squeak, squeakβ€”" As if there was a hollow and distant sound from the ground, the door of the trial hall rang, and Lin Yizhi was called: "Yizhi, are you ready?"

Lin Yizhi nodded and said, "The kid is ready." ”、

Qi Qian nodded and said, "In that case, you can go in." ”

Lin Yizhi only nodded, pulled up the clothes on his body a few times, hugged his fist at the difficulty, and then hugged his fist at the difficulty, and strode towards the trial hall.

And as Lin Yizhi gradually disappeared, his eyes were a little trance-like, and he said silently: At this moment, it seems to be exactly the same as that year....... Lin Yizhi, it depends on whether you have created or not.

Speaking of this, Lin Yizhi walked into this trial hall, but saw that there was nothing inside, only two thick pillars, and candles were lit on the pillars. When he was confused, he suddenly heard Jing Li's voice coming from nowhere: "Lin Yizhi, there will be four stone swords falling from the sky, you have to try to lift these swords, these swords are of different weights, you can do what you can!"

Lin Yizhi was about to answer, when he suddenly heard a "click", the roof of the first floor of the trial hall seemed to crack, and four stone swords of different sizes fell rapidly, about two feet from the ground, and then stopped, each stone sword still made a slight sound of sound.

Lin Yizhi looked at the four swords for a while, and saw that these four swords were from left to right, one was bigger than the other, and the last one could be called a giant sword, and it was expected that the fourth sword would not weigh as much as five hundred catties.

Lin Yizhi thought for a while, walked to the second stone sword, grabbed the hilt of the sword, and gently used the force, the sword did not move at all, Lin Yizhi weighed it in his heart, and used eighty percent of the strength, the stone sword was slowly lifted by him, and when he used ten percent of his strength, the stone sword was firmly held in the palm of his hand, and he lifted it, and looked at his face, although it was hard, his face was flushed, and there were slight beads of sweat on his head, but it was not yet to the limit.

Outside the door, everyone looked at the picture that was difficult to blur, and saw that the first, second, third, and fourth stones in the nine star soul stones emitted four colors: red, yellow, green, and blue. Qi Nan nodded slightly and said, "The strength is not bad." ”

However, Lin Yizhi in the field didn't know anything about what was happening outside, put down the stone sword, seemed to be a little unsatisfied, slowly came to the third sword, thought for a moment, and grabbed the hilt of the sword.

This third stone sword is more than three circles larger than the second stone sword, Lin Yizhi directly used ten percent of his strength, but he still saw that the stone sword did not move at all, and his teeth were clenched, his eyes were wide open, and he lifted it upwards vigorously, only to see that the stone sword only shook slightly twice, but it was still not lifted.

Lin Yizhi felt that his arms were numb, did he want to give up? It seemed that he was a little unwilling, and then put down the stone sword, circled around the stone sword twice, and once again held the hilt of the stone sword in his hand, this time it was even worse, Lin Yizhi used all the strength of his body, his body trembled and tightened due to the force, and the two arms were even more bruised, and his eyes were bloodshot because of the force.

Lin Yizhi only had this one thought, if the first level only lifted the second one, it would be a bit too common, for himself and the entire Fengling Village! He thought secretly, his small body burst out of unprecedented energy out of nowhere, "Ah-" He let out a low roar, just like that, little by little, little by little, the third sword was slowly lifted, but it was only a foot higher than the original height, Lin Yizhi only felt like he had kicked a 10,000-pound burden in his hand, and he couldn't move an inch anymore.

Outside the trial hall, the star soul stone in front of everyone's eyes suddenly "snapped-" and two more lights up, red, yellow, blue, green, black, and white six colors were intertwined, extremely dazzling. After a while, all six stones went out at the same time, and everything was calm.

Everyone couldn't help but be happy, Lu Wujian, who had originally planned to watch a good show, saw this scene, and couldn't help but look at the shiny stones a few more times.

Qi Nan smiled and said: "The six star soul stones are lit up, and they can be regarded as the best in terms of strength." ”

Everyone nodded yes, and even the always picky Master Qingxuan couldn't help but secretly give birth to some approval.

Lin Yizhi really couldn't hold on, threw away the huge sword, collapsed to the ground weakly, gulped his first rough breath, and said secretly in his heart: I am already exhausted in the first layer of the trial hall, what should I do next?

Suddenly, I heard Jing Li's voice coming: "Lin Yizhi, you can enter the second layer of the trial." ”

Lin Yizhi got up from the ground with difficulty and slowly walked up the stairs to the second floor.

The second floor was much wider than the first, and there was a lifelike wooden monkey squatting there with a smile on its face.

Lin Yizhi was waiting for Jing Li's instructions, and suddenly only heard a "squeak", and the monkey seemed to come to life, and pounced on Lin Yizhi with its teeth and claws.

Where did Lin Yizhi see this formation, he was so frightened that he snorted, turned his head and ran, but as soon as he ran to the front of the stairs, he was blocked back by an invisible force, and when he turned around again, the monkey's sharp claws had already come to the front, Lin Yizhi couldn't dodge, and the monkey grabbed a few blood marks on his left arm.

Lin Yizhi had to go back and forth with this monkey in this not very wide hall, this person is a monkey, one runs in front, one chases behind, if the sight of the monkey chasing people makes others look like it, they must laugh.

But Lin Yizhi couldn't laugh for a long time, he had almost used up the strength of his whole body in the first layer just now, and now this monkey jumped forward and backwards, flashing and moving, Lin Yizhi was already exhausted, and it was difficult to look ahead, only for a while, he was already panting like a cow, sweating like rain, dyeing all the clothes on his body, and his body had already been caught by this monkey as if he had opened a grocery store.

Lin Yizhi's eyes were red when he was chased, and he suddenly stopped there, he didn't care in his heart, and said secretly: "No matter, it's better to catch a monkey on your back than to die of exhaustion." "Because he can't take a single step for a long time.

Strange to say, this monkey was chasing after itself with its teeth and claws, and suddenly saw Lin Yizhi stop, staring at it with fire-breathing eyes, it also stopped suddenly, squatting motionless in place, the fierce look on that face was gone, replaced by a smiling face.

The people outside the door looked into the virtual image, only to see that the nine star soul stones were motionless, and after a long time, the first lesson star soul stones snapped and lit up with a faint red light.

Lu Wujian only glanced at him and didn't speak, but the hot-tempered Heavenly Daoist laughed and said, "This reaction and agility are too bad!"

Qing Xuan glared at Tian Yan fiercely, and then looked at Qi Yan. The heavens knew that they had lost their words, so they kept silent.

Qi Nan's eyes were slightly closed, and no expression could be seen on his face.

Lin Yizhi's second monk was confused, and Jing Li's voice came out again: "Lin Yizhi, you can go to the third layer of the trial hall." ”

Lin Yizhi didn't even have the strength to stand up, and he gasped for a long time before he stood up and moved towards the third layer of the trial tower step by step, thinking in his heart, if the third layer is still like this, I am afraid that I will die here today.

Slowly coming to the third layer of the trial hall, it was empty, there was nothing, Lin Yizhi was wondering to himself, and suddenly felt that there was an extremely bright light in front of him, and he couldn't even open his eyes.

When he finally opened his eyes, he found that the scenery in front of him had changed.

The green grass thickets, the clear and gentle Liyang water flows gently from the front, the reeds flutter in the distance, and the magnificent basalt Liyang city wall is faintly visible. And he was standing at the head of a village.

In an instant, Lin Yizhi couldn't believe his eyes, because this place was clearly Fengling Village.

Fengling Village, the place where he had dreamed countless times, now he was standing here, the soft sunlight, the warm breeze, everything was real as illusory.

Almost at the same time, he saw his mother, the simple and gentle peasant woman standing in front of him, beckoning to him gently, Lin Yizhi ran over and shouted loudly: "Mother, mother." ”

When he was about to grab the corner of his mother's clothes, his eyes suddenly changed again, but it was his father Qi Xiaoqi standing in front of him, sternly saying to him: "You say, where did you go to the wild after school?"

In an instant, Lin Yizhi was in a trance, this was really his father, he was harshly disciplining himself, and he was so happy, he even wished that this kind of training could last longer, longer!

This is true! Lin Yizhi was convinced, he was sure that everything in front of him was true, he did run to play after school, and when he came back late, he was just about to answer, and suddenly the scenery in front of him changed again.

Darkness! Boundless darkness! Suddenly the yin wind gusted, the boundless bloody and gloomy qi rushed straight to the door, countless black-clothed people flocked to Fengling Village from all directions, under the butcher's knife, the group of demons mercilessly killed the people in the village, the people in the village screamed again and again, they were all saying when they were dying: "Yi'er, hurry, kill these demons!"

Lin Yizhi trembled, he saw Uncle Wang, his father, and his mother all lying in a pool of blood, their hair scattered, which was extremely terrifying. And the group of men in black were holding cold and shining butcher knives and smiling at themselves.

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded, "Lin Yizhi, do you want to take revenge? You have a sharp knife under your feet, pick it up and kill those demons!

Suddenly, the voice exploded in Lin Yizhi's mind as if it had been amplified dozens of times, and thousands of voices were put into the oil and said together: "Pick it up! Kill this group of demons!"

Lin Yizhi had a splitting headache, he squatted there helplessly holding his head and cried, what should I do, I should pick up this knife and kill these demons, but why am I so sad, so helpless, why? Why?

Lin Yizhi's gradual sanity was on the verge of collapse, his thin body trembling, helpless and desolate.

No! No! No! Lin Yizhi suddenly shouted, "This is not true! Who are you, why do you torture me like this? Do you also want me to become a murderous demon? Don't you think!" Lin Yizhi roared and shouted in the face of this boundless darkness and terror, and suddenly he stood up straight, just like that, stubbornly, and looked coldly at everything that happened in front of him. Suddenly, he felt that the world was spinning, and he fell to the ground like that, and fainted.

Darkness, still darkness. This is Lin Yizhi's only consciousness, maybe it's because he's dead, so that there is this boundless darkness in the Senluo Palace. Pain! Boundless pain! It was a burst of pain from his body, which made him hum softly in a coma.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, everything was gone, and he was still in this empty room, empty and a little lonely.

All the people outside the door looked at the scene of the illusion, and Lu Wujian muttered in a low voice: "I look at the kid, I don't know the rules, and this mind will not mature much." Not a single stone ......" halfway through his words, he was already stunned by the sight in front of him.

I saw that these nine star soul stones lit up in unison, emitting nine-colored light, the light was gorgeous and dazzling, and the nine colors were intertwined in one place, and they did not disperse for a long time.

Everyone was in an uproar, and even the Venerable Master Qingxuan had a trace of fanaticism in his eyes.

Qi Nan laughed and said: "Nine! Hahaha, sure enough, I have cultivated the truth, and the requirements for my mind are very high, if you want to attain the Great Dao, you can't do it without an excellent mind, this son has an excellent mind, good! good!"

In a trance, Lin Yizhi heard Jing's voice: "Lin Yizhi, you can go to the last layer of the trial hall." ”

Is it the last layer? Is this torturous suffering really coming to an end?

Lin Yizhi almost crawled up to the fourth layer of the trial hall.

As soon as I entered the fourth floor of the trial hall, I saw a smooth stone wall, and the stone wall was also engraved with a gossip pattern, which was actually alive, shining with a pale golden light, and kept turning.

Jing Liyan's voice sounded: "Lin Yizhi, I will pass on your mantra, you try to run the true qi for a small week, and then use all your strength to impact the gossip on the stone wall." ”

Lin Yizhi nodded, and then heard the sound of Jing leaving. Lin Yizhi secretly remembered.

Jing Linan said three times in a row: "This is the most basic method of the Qi Condensation Method for the Entry of the Infinite Dao of Leaving Worries, which is to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the dantian, and use the qi of heaven and earth to nourish yourself. ”

Lin Yizhi listened, and immediately ran the true qi in the body according to this method, and fused with the qi of heaven and earth, and suddenly a warm feeling rushed straight to the major acupoints on his body, Lin Yizhi carefully introduced the qi of heaven and earth a little bit to be compatible with the true qi in the body, and then manipulated this true qi to run in the body for a small week, and then pressed towards the dantian. It's just that all of a sudden, this warm feeling disappeared, and Lin Yizhi was very different, there was not a trace of true qi gathering in the investigation dantian.

Maybe it was the first time, the method of condensing qi was a little rusty, Lin Yizhi was not discouraged, and started a second attempt, but the result was still the same, the true qi that was combined with heaven and earth once again dissipated at all.

Lin Yizhi sweated a little, secretly stabilized his mind, and began to condense again. The result is still so. Immediately after the fourth, fifth...... 32nd ......

For a long time, the people outside the door looked at the nine stones in the virtual image for a long time, but none of them changed.

Lu Wujian couldn't bear it anymore, and said softly: "This shouldn't be, look at this kid's strength and mind, but it's the best choice, but this method of condensing qi is that no matter how bad the root bone is, it can also have two or two star soul stones." ”

It's been a long time, and it's still the same. Qi Nan finally couldn't hold his breath a little, and sighed softly: "That's it, that's it, if that's the case, it's the will of heaven!"

Let's say that when Lin Yizhi tried to reach the one hundred and third time, he suddenly felt a slight movement in the dantian, he hurriedly investigated, and sure enough, he saw a trace of true qi wandering in the dantian. He immediately took out this wisp of true qi in his hand and hit the gossip,

Only an inaudible sound was heard, and the gossip seemed to move, as if it had paused for a half-breath, and then began to work again.

And the people outside, when they were all impatient, finally saw that in the virtual image, the first red star soul stone emitted a faint light......
