When everyone arrived at the trial venue, the disciples were almost ready, Ling Huayin was not worried about Su Mu at all, and left Su Mujing and sat next to the Heavenly Machine Dao Master, waiting for the trial to begin.

"Your little Mu is participating in the trial for the first time, and you don't say a few words to him to care about it, so as not to make the child nervous. The Heavenly Machine Dao Leader turned sideways towards Ling Huayin and said.

At this time, Zhou Yao was talking to Su Mu, but Su Mu's eyes kept looking at Ling Huayin.

Ling Huayin looked at the audience and said, "No need, my disciple I know that Xiao Muding is the best in the trial field." ”

The Heavenly Machine Daoist touched his white beard and smiled from ear to ear, "That's not necessarily! ”

"Why does the head of the sect suddenly want to try out now?" Ling Huayin asked quietly without turning her head.

"You'll see it later. "The head of the Heavenly Machine Dao pretended to be mysterious and sold Guan Zidao.

Ling Huayin knew that she would not answer if she asked the Heavenly Machine Dao Chief, so she quietly watched the situation in the field.

It didn't take long for the trial to begin, and the disciples all rushed into the trial ground. Su Mu saw that everyone was rushing into an enchantment one after another, so he also followed. As soon as I entered, I found that there was a bamboo forest in the enchantment, and the sound of the piano in the bamboo forest was ethereal, and I don't know where it came from. And after flying a little further, there were three forks in the road, Su Mu kept going to the right, and after walking three forks, he found that the scenery here was almost identical, just like a maze array. The disciples were almost scattered at this time, and some disciples realized that today's trial site was a labyrinth, so they made marks along the way, but after several tosses, they turned back again, and the marks originally carved on the bamboo also disappeared.

Ling Huayin looked at the elders and knew that someone had deliberately eliminated those marks so that the disciples could disperse early and decide the winner.

Zhou Yi and Zhou Yao always rushed to the front, and there were many disciples who followed them, but they also broke away from the team due to an unknown trap on the way and fell elsewhere. This trial was indeed different from the past, and in less than an hour, there were already disciples who were eliminated one after another. When Zhou Yi and Zhou Yao returned to the same place again, they found that Su Mu was sitting on the ground leisurely with a bamboo leaf in his mouth, and he had no intention of leaving.

Zhou Yao was afraid that he would give up this trial, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Xiao Mu, do you want to go with us?"

Su Mu raised his eyelids and said, "There are so many of you, none of you have thought of a way to leave here, I think the elders just made it clear that they won't let you go together, don't you see that everyone is falling behind one by one? ”

Zhou Yao was skeptical, "Xiao Mu, how do you know?"

Su Mu said casually: "I guess." ”

Hearing him say this, the rest of the disciples didn't care, and even some were snickering.

"I think what the junior brother said also makes sense, so let's go separately. Zhou Yi thought about it again and again, and then also proposed.

"But senior brother, I have never been separated from you, I ...... alone" Zhou Yao hesitated.

"There's no other way right now, just listen to what my junior brother says for the time being, don't be afraid, this is just a trial, it's going to be fine, we'll see you after the trial." ”

At this time, a disciple asked Su Mu: "Then why don't you leave, don't you want to deceive us and make us lose our qualification for the trial, and you will take the lead yourself?"

Su Mu glanced at the disciple lazily, "I'm not as boring as you." By the way, Senior Brother Zhou Yi, I would like to remind you that there is wind here. ”

Zhou Yi paused, pondering his words carefully, and just as he wanted to ask again, Su Mu stood up and walked in the other direction, and disappeared into the mist of the bamboo forest after a while.

Zhou Yi hurriedly said to the other disciples, "You all follow the direction of the wind. ”

Outside the barrier, Ling Huayin couldn't help but smile, and Elder Tianji also smiled and said to Shan Liqun: "Master, none of your two apprentices have Su Mu's kid who understands your thoughts. ”

Zhou Yao looked left and right, a little hesitant who to follow, and finally gritted his teeth and chased in the direction of Su Mu.

Su Mu came to an empty place, looked around, and then jumped to the top of the bamboo forest, looking down from above, you can clearly see the wind direction in the bamboo forest, every time you reach a fork in the road, the wind direction will change. He flew some way through the air in the direction of the wind, and soon became tired and had to walk on the ground. didn't take a few steps, and Zhou Yao's voice came from behind him.

"Xiao Mu wait for me!"

Su Mu turned around and looked, and saw that Zhou Yao was running this way, he glanced left and right, and felt that something was not right, and just wanted to remind her to be careful, Zhou Yao screamed and disappeared into the misty enchantment.

Su Mu hurriedly walked to the place where Zhou Yao disappeared, and stretched out his hand while the fog had not dispersed, sure enough, there was another space over there, but from the other side of the enchantment, it was still the road in front of him, and the person disappeared like air. If he passed, he didn't know where this enchantment would take him, and maybe he wouldn't be able to come back if he didn't even see Zhou Yao.

"Haha, did you say he would go back to find Zhou Yao?" Just as the Heavenly Machine Dao Master said this to Ling Huayin, Su Mu in the training ground crossed the enchantment without hesitation.

Give it a try.

Fortunately, Su Mu saw Zhou Yao as soon as she passed, but Zhou Yao was besieged by a group of demon beasts conjured up by spells, and she was really a little powerless without Zhou Yi's help.

As soon as Zhou Yao saw Su Mu, he shouted happily as if he had seen a savior: "Xiao Mu!"

Su Muti rushed forward with his sword, stood back to back with Zhou Yao, and together they scattered those demon beasts.

Zhou Yao looked at the illusions that scattered around, and said with some surprise: "It's actually an illusion, I almost can't beat some illusions." As he spoke, Zhou Yao lowered his head a little embarrassed.

"Senior sister is just too nervous. ”

Zhou Yao pursed her lips and smiled, and said with a hint of shyness: "I used to act with Senior Brother Yi, but this is the first time I have come to this kind of place alone, so Senior Brother will laugh." ”

"No, it's normal for girls to be scared alone. After saying that, Su Mu stopped talking to her and went to find the way to come by himself.

"Xiao Mu, do you rarely have contact with girls?" Zhou Yao followed Su Mu with a smile and asked.

"Well, yes, sort of. ”

Zhou Yao tilted his head to look at Su Mu's grim side face, and grinned, "No wonder you're so shy." ”

Su Mu couldn't help frowning, stopped, and explained seriously: "I'm not shy, I'm just not used to contact with others. ”

Zhou Yao thought that Su Mu just didn't like others to say that he was shy, so he didn't care.

"I will slowly get used to it in the future, after all, there are so many senior brothers and sisters in Xianze Palace, and there will be newcomers in the future, and the junior brother will always have to deal with them." ”

Unexpectedly, Su Mu said: "I'm not used to it, and I don't like to deal with others, it's enough for me to contact my master." ”

One sentence choked Zhou Yao speechless.

The Heavenly Machine Dao Leader outside couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Ling Huayin couldn't help but glance at him, "The Heavenly Machine Daoist seems to be very attentive to my apprentice. ”

"Hey, everyone likes to pay attention to excellent students, and I'm also watching Zhou Yi. ”

Su Mu wandered around the bamboo forest for a while, and then flew up to look, and found that this bamboo forest was different from other places, there was no wind at all, and it was surprisingly quiet. Zhou Yao felt sorry for Su Mu, and said, "Xiao Mu, I've been burdened by you, if it weren't for me, I guess you would have gone out by now." ”

Su Mu didn't seem to hear her speak, and said in his heart: This forest is very strange, every tree is the same, and it is also a wall when it goes up, and I don't hear the sound of the piano anymore, as if I deliberately trapped us here. The demon beast was also very strange, I hadn't seen it all the way, why did I meet it here with Senior Sister Zhou Yao. Although Senior Sister Zhou Yao's swordsmanship is weaker than Senior Brother Zhou Yi, no matter how bad it is, she won't even be able to defeat the illusions of a few demon beasts, and after I came, those demon beasts are no better.

Zhou Yao saw Su Mu's thoughtful look, so he asked, "Xiao Mu, have you thought of any way?"

Su Mu asked, "Senior Sister Zhou Yao, do you want to pass the trial?"

Zhou Yao didn't know why Su Mu asked this, she was a little stunned, and replied: "Of course, if you can't pass this trial, then I won't have the face to see everyone see the master." ”

"Well, this is the scene that Senior Sister Zhou Yao imagined in her heart, as long as Senior Sister wants to leave, she can naturally leave. Su Mu said.

Zhou Yao looked at Su Mu in surprise, "Xiao Mu, you just came, how come you know everything?"

Su Mu recalled that he and Ling Huayin had fallen into a dream of Daze, and said, "I have encountered a similar situation with my master, and I am not very sure if this is the case here. Senior sister said that she had never acted alone, and she was afraid that she would not be able to do it alone, so she fantasized about a demon beast that she couldn't beat. As long as the senior sister is confident, she can do a lot of things alone. ”

Zhou Yao listened, and was really encouraged by Su Mu in his heart, and at this time, the wind suddenly rose in the forest.

When Su Mu heard the wind, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to take Zhou Yao out of here, but found that Zhou Yao was gone. Looking around for a while, he found that the bamboo forest had become a city.

"This is?" Su Mu looked shocked.

Outside the "Heart Demon ......" enchantment, Ling Huayin suddenly blurted out. She couldn't help but look at the master, only to see Shan Liqun still watching everything on the trial ground for a moment.

The city of the Illusory Realm actually appeared in the proving ground. Su Mu walked forward along the familiar street, the sky slowly darkened with his footsteps, and suddenly saw a bright red light in front of him, illuminating the entire night sky, and the cries of men and women gradually filled the entire city. In an open space in front of them, hundreds of people gathered in the middle of a red magic circle, and a cruel ritual was being carried out.

A boy of 7 or 8 years old was lying outside the circle, with a silver longevity lock on his chest, his half-open eyes staring at everything in the circle.

At the front of the circle, there was a man in black kneeling, the man had handsome facial features and clear outlines, like Su Mu now.

"Let's get started. As a deep voice was raised, the people in the circle began to let out a terrible cry, which resounded through the heavens and the earth, and some even made a sound of remorse, but once the contract was formed, it could never be stopped.

The boy's tears flowed, and then his pupils gradually lost their luster with the red light that gradually dimmed from the circle, and he became numb, and his heart was like ashes.

"Bring this kid back. A voice that sounded familiar to the ears without any emotion sounded again.

Ling Huayin almost stood up, she resisted the stirring in her heart, tried to find the owner of the voice, but did not see the person she wanted to see.
