A huge room stood alone on a wilderness, and in front of the room stood a black-robed man, who was Xiao Ling, who had accepted the test of patience in the third level.

"It's such a big room, I don't know what is in the house, and I need to use such a big room to fit it. The three masters said that this trial will test my patience, and I don't know how to test it? This is a desolate place, and there is only this room, and the test must be in this room. ”

Pushing the door in, Xiao Ling was immediately stunned by the scene inside the room - there were dozens of columns of bookshelves in the room, each of which was full of books, and each book was covered with dust, obviously no one had read it for a long time. Moreover, the materials of the books here are different, including bamboo slips, parchment rolls, cloth and silk, and paper books that are now commonly used. The contents of the book are even more all-encompassing, including Confucian and Taoist classics as well as devilish heresies; myths and legends as well as serious history; biographies of celebrities as well as private letters; and the essentials of the art of war as well as the key points of cooking.

Xiao Ling looked at such a room of books and said to himself: "The three masters said that this level will test my patience, it won't be that I want to read all these books, right? ”

As soon as Xiao Ling's words fell, as if in response to his words, a golden light suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Ling's eyes, and sixteen big characters gradually appeared on the golden light - the world's bookstore, with a collection of 100,000 books;

"This is not true, right! Three masters, are you joking with Ling Er? 100,000 books, let alone familiar with memorization, even if you can't finish reading it, how can you pass this level" Xiao Ling's mouth was wide enough to stuff an apple, and said in disbelief.

Immediately, Xiao Ling seemed to think of something, "By the way, I can forcibly memorize the content of these books in my mind as cultivation, so that I can't easily pass the test!"

As soon as Xiao Ling's words came out, sixteen big characters appeared again in a flash of golden light - the world's library, it is difficult to cultivate, if you want to memorize it, it is all up to you.

"Is cultivation difficult to use, I don't believe it!" After that, Xiao Ling ran his cultivation and wanted to take a book in the air, but found that there was no true yuan fluctuation in his body.

Although I like to read, I don't like to endorse books, not to mention that there are 100,000 books here, and I can't use cultivation, and I will starve to death before I can finish memorizing. What kind of trial is this!" Xiao Ling complained loudly.

This can't be blamed on Xiao Ling, suddenly having to memorize 100,000 books by one person is unacceptable to anyone.

In fact, Xiao Ling complained loudly for another purpose, that is, he wanted Yun Xuzi and the three of them to cancel this trial, even if they didn't cancel it, it would be good to retreat and lower the goal a little. Rather than memorize these 100,000 books, Xiao Ling would rather choose to go through another 1,000 trials like the Wind Pillar, no, 10,000 times.

complained for a long time, Xiao Ling didn't get the slightest response from Yun Xuozi and the others, and knew in his heart that it was impossible to be opportunistic, so he could only obediently endorse it.

"I don't believe it, the three masters can still let me stay here for hundreds of years, and they can still let me starve here to death! ”

"Ling'er, this kid is really smart, he found out so quickly that this world book house is a fantasy, and he also judged that the passage of time is different from the outside world, and can calm down and endorse books, which is much better than you and me back then. Yun Xuzi said appreciatively.

"Well, Ling Er is indeed a beautiful jade, and if you carve it well, it will become a great weapon in the future, but it's a pity that he will leave us soon," Yun Qingzi said sentimentally.

"Third sister, Ling Er can't stay under our wing for the rest of his life, what can he achieve in that way? His sky naturally needs him to break through by himself, let's wait and see!" Yun Zhenzi smiled slightly and said.

"What the second brother said is that I just can't bear this child. ”

Of course, Xiao Ling would not know the conversation between Yun Xuzi and the three of them, at this time, he was patient, endorsing little by little.

Xiao Ling picked up the first book in his hand, flipped through it roughly, and found that some words that he didn't know were now not only recognized, but also knew the meaning.

"It doesn't seem to be useless, at least it has made me know a lot of words. Xiao Ling said to himself with some self-deprecation, "Don't think about anything else, hurry up and endorse the book, finish it early, and go out early." ”

Three days later, Xiao Ling finally patiently memorized the first book.

"It's so difficult, it took me three days to memorize the first book, there are a total of 100,000 books here, and it takes hundreds of years to memorize! Three masters, can you memorize a little less?" Xiao Ling put the book that had been memorized back in his hand, and sighed to the sky.

The three of Yun Xuzi could naturally hear Xiao Ling's complaints, but the three of them all smiled faintly and did not make any response.

Xiao Ling waited for a long time without a response, and in desperation, he picked up the second book to memorize.

Spring goes to autumn, five years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Xiao Ling has also memorized books for five years in this Tianxia bookstore. In the first year, Xiao Ling complained almost every three or five days, in the second year, Xiao Ling would only complain every half a month, in the third year, Xiao Ling would only complain once every other month, in the fourth year, Xiao Ling would only complain once every three months, and in the fifth year, Xiao Ling would not complain once a whole year, and had been endorsing it wholeheartedly.

In the past five years, Xiao Ling's endorsement speed has also become faster and faster, from one book in the first three days to one in the middle of two days, and then to one book on the last day, in five years, he has memorized a thousand books.

Strange to say, for five whole years, Xiao Ling did not eat, drink, sleep without cultivation, not only did he not starve to death, but he did not even feel hungry, and he did not feel tired at all.

Xiao Ling finished memorizing a thousand books, and was about to pick up the thousandth and one books to read them, when there was a sudden flower in front of him, and the next moment he had returned to reality.

"Three masters, Ling Er has only memorized a thousand books, and she is still far from her goal, why did she come out?" Xiao Ling looked at Yun Xuzi and the three of them, and asked puzzledly.

"Ling'er, it doesn't matter how many books you memorize, the three of you won't be pedantic and ask you to memorize all the 100,000 books, it will take hundreds of years of effort. The important thing is that the purpose of this trial has been achieved, which is to exercise your patience, no, not so much patience as perseverance. You often complained from the beginning, and then you didn't complain for a whole year, and you were completely immersed in the endorsement, which means that your heart has been completely calmed, and perseverance is naturally cultivated unconsciously, and there is certainly no need to memorize it again. Moreover, we told you a few days ago that the three-month trial is only to cultivate your consciousness in all aspects, and the most important thing is to rely on your slow accumulation when you walk the cultivation realm in the future. Yun Xuzi opened his mouth to explain to Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling sighed: "Ling'er understands. ”

Immediately, Xiao Ling seemed to think of something, and asked: "Master, that Tianxia Book House should be an illusion, I have been in it for five years, how long has it been in reality?"

"It's a fantasy indeed. One year inside, reality is one hour, you are five years inside, and the real world is only five hours. ”

"Master, did you set up this illusion? why did you never mention that you could do illusions? and change the passage of time. ”

"I did set up this illusion, but I don't know how to do illusions. I was able to set up illusions because I had a friend who was proficient in illusions, and he once gave me a treasure that could set up illusions, and that's it. As for being able to change the passage of time in the phantom realm, it is also the special effect of that treasure, that is, it is more expensive to urge. ”

Come to think of it, if you can change the passage of time at will, even if it is the passage of time in an illusion, it will be very rebellious.
