After Feng Muge finished pranayama, he found himself in front of the courtyard gate, and Shen Congrong was not far from him.

Looking at Shen Congrong's appearance, his eyes were closed, and he said some brainless words from time to time, as if he was talking to someone, and he was also in the magic realm of his heart.

Feng Muge patted Shen Congrong's shoulder and shouted carefully, "Sir?"

In the face of Feng Muge's shouting, Shen Congrong did not react, it seems that this heart magic realm cannot be stimulated by external forces to wake up.

There was no way, Feng Muge sat on the fence on the side, leaning against the pillar, waiting for Shen Congrong to wake up.

In front of the prism mirror, Hu Liu and Han Qu's gamble also ended with Feng Muge waking up first.

Hearing Han Qu say that he would use his own ancestral hall to exchange for the spiritual bamboo, Hu Liu pretended to be difficult, and said after a long time: "It's not impossible, but this thousand-year-old spiritual bamboo is rare in the world, and I don't think it's enough to build an ancestral hall." ”

Han Qu knew that Hu Liu wanted the lion to open his mouth, but he had no choice but to provoke the gamble by himself, so he could only eat it.

"Then what else do you want?" Han Qu wanted to hear Hu Liu's conditions.

Hu Liu said: "I don't want anything, it's the first incense stick after the ancestral hall is built, you have to give me some, right?"

Han Qu was stunned for a moment, this first incense stick was not casually put on, it was usually the first incense stick on the top priest by Qin Tianjian, and the merits were read, and the official announcement was registered in the register, and he enjoyed the worship of all the people. Although it is not difficult to say, it is just that Hu Liu is the protector spirit animal of Great Qin, and after the ancestral hall is built, it should also be Qin Qintian's eunuch, and it is a little difficult to let himself come to the first incense stick now.

After thinking for a while, Han channel: "That's it, after Mr. comes out, I'll ask Mr. if I can put the first incense on you, if not, you can change the conditions." ”

Hu Liu smiled and said, "It's definitely possible." ”

Han Qu looked at Hu Liu's smile and couldn't help but tremble, always feeling that something was wrong.

In Shen Congrong's illusion, Shen Congrong and Feng Muge, who was transformed by the demon, explored in the dark scene for a long time and found a door of light.

The inner demon pointed to the light gate and said, "Sir, you see, after that light door may be the exit." ”

Shen Congrong glanced at the gate and said: "Maybe, but there is no danger along the way, so I found the light gate, which is very similar to the palace before, be careful." ”

The heart demon nodded, "yes, those beetles, I don't want to face them anymore." ”

Holding the folding fan in his hand, Shen said calmly: "Let's go, let's see what is behind the light gate." ”

As he spoke, Shen Congrong took the lead in the direction of the light gate, and the inner demon fell behind Shen Congrong.

Shen calmly glanced at the demon in his heart with his residual vision, and didn't say anything, but pinched a knife in his left hand.

Successfully passed through the light gate, and did not encounter any danger, but after staying in the dark scene for a long time, the sunlight behind the light gate was a little dazzling, and Shen calmly blocked the sunlight so that he could adapt to the sun.

"Wow, this looks like a garden, but with these mountains around it, it's more like a valley. The voice of the demon came from the side.

Seeing that the heart demon had adapted to the light outside so quickly, Shen Congrong did not show a special expression on his face, nor did he question it, but after getting used to some of the light here, he looked at the surrounding environment.

At first glance, it does look like a garden, the ground is full of all kinds of flowers, and where the two of them are standing now, there are even waist-high flowers, which are very beautiful. There are some corridor pavilions in the distance, and I think there will be some lakes and things like that. A little further away are the peaks in the distance.

It seems that this place is indeed in the mountains, and the surrounding things are obviously man-made. After experiencing the city in the desert in the first level, Shen Congrong naturally wouldn't be particularly surprised and puzzled, everything here was a little unbelievable.

It's just that standing here and not seeing anything, Shen Congrong pointed to the pavilion on the side and said, "It looks like this is indeed a valley, I'm not sure where we are now, let's go over there first." ”

followed Shen Congrong to the pavilion, and said in his heart: "Could this be the third courtyard, maybe the inheritance is here?"

Shen Congrong didn't look back, and said as he walked: "There is such a possibility, but it should not be very likely, after we pass through the light gate, we are in this sea of flowers, there is no sign of a courtyard gate or light gate around, and it doesn't look like a courtyard here, right?"

The heart demon touched the top of his head and said, "That's what I said, but from the time we entered the formation, all the signs we encountered didn't look like we were in the courtyard, maybe this was just the formation illusion generation?"

Shen Congrong finally glanced back at the inner demon and said: "So I said it may be, but I prefer that this is still the first level or the second level, of course, it may also be the third level, in short, go to the pavilion first, look at the surrounding situation, and then draw conclusions." ”

Seeing that Shen Congrong looked a little angry, the heart demon didn't say anything more, and followed Shen Congrong to the gazebo.

The height of the gazebo is not low, and you can enjoy the scenery in the valley, so you can naturally see more things.

Standing on the edge of the pavilion, Shen calmly glanced at the situation in the valley, except for the flower sea corridor below, there was indeed a small lake, but there were no doors or houses or anything like that.

Looking along the corridor, at a bend, the corridor is hidden by the mountain, and you can't see what is behind you.

After thinking about it for a while, Shen Congrong pointed to the corridor and said, "Let's go, there is only one way, see what mystery is behind it." ”

Moving along the corridor, Shen Congrong didn't pay much attention to the surrounding scenery, but kept moving forward, but the demon in his heart observed the surrounding scene with great interest.

A moment later, I finally came to a palace-like mansion.

"Palaces again?" the demon seemed to have palpitations.

Shen calmly looked at the appearance of the palace gate, then looked back at the corridor and said, "This is the architectural style of my Great Qin, and it is the style of the king's palace." ”

"Xinggong?" The heart demon looked a little stunned, and said suddenly: "What is the situation when my Great Qin's palace appears here?"

Shen Congrong shook his head and said, "I don't know, but didn't Hu Liu say that these three levels were laid out by Wanlong Zhenren and Feng Tianyuan, even if my Great Qin Palace appeared, there would be nothing surprising." ”

The heart demon touched his cheek and said, "It's the same, then go in and have a look?"

Shen calmly pushed open the door and said, "Of course, if you don't go in and see how you know where this place is, if the inheritance is really here, wouldn't it be right?"

Walking through the palace, Shen Congrong felt a little familiar with the road, and walked all the way to the main house.

The furnishings of the main house are somewhat like a study, with two large bookshelves on the wall, on which a large number of books are placed, a bookcase in front of the bookshelf, a chair behind the desk, and a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk.

took a book casually, and Shen calmly sat on the chair and looked at it.

The demon stood in front of the bookshelf and rummaged through the books, "Sir, it doesn't look like there's anything here, just this pile of books." ”

Shen calmly looked at the large number of errors in the books and said, "This pile of books is the best thing." ”

The demon took a book and flipped it through at random, "Is it? What can you find in these books?"

Shen calmly closed the book and put it back on the shelf, everything was so natural.

But just after putting down the book, the dagger in Shen Congrong's left hand stabbed through the heart of the heart demon and penetrated the heart demon's body, but no blood flowed out.

Looking down at the dagger exposed on his chest, the demon turned his head to look at Shen Congrong and said, "How did you find out that I was a fake?

Drawing out the dagger, Shen calmly looked at the wound where there was no blood flowing out and said, "It's all fine, it seems that you are not even human." ”

The heart demon smiled, raised his hand and waved, the room disappeared, returned to the sea of flowers, summoned two stone benches, the heart demon sat on one stone bench, pointed to the other stone bench and said, "Sir sit." ”

Shen Congrong behaved very calmly, sat on another stone bench, put away the dagger, looked at the demon in front of him and asked, "Demon?"

The heart demon replied: "It's not a demon, you can call me a heart demon, although I'm not a demon either." ”

Shen calmly thought for a moment and said, "The central demon of the record is the distractions and obsessions of the cultivator, so I know a lot about the cultivator's mind, but judging from these mistakes you have shown, it seems that this is not the case. ”

The heart demon laughed and said: "This heart demon is not the other heart demon, to be precise, we are also a bit like a demon, I don't know how we appeared, but our innate ability is to see through people's thoughts, and according to what people think, lead him into the illusion, we satisfy their desires, they provide us with the nourishment we need to survive." ”

"What nourishment?" Shen Congrong was a little curious.

"It's their desires and emotions, when their desires are satisfied, they tend to have greater desires and strong emotional fluctuations, they will be excited, greedy, these things can allow us to survive well." ”

"Is it the real body in the illusion?" Shen calmly thought of a situation.

The heart demon scratched his head and said, "Of course not, we don't have that much power. ”

"Then if they are addicted to the illusion, what will happen to their real bodies?" Shen calmly asked.

The Heart Demon said as a matter of course: "If you refuse to wake up in the illusion, most of the true body will die. ”

Shen Congrong clenched the folding fan and said, "So, you have harmed a lot of people?"

After seeing Shen Congrong's movements, the heart demon said: "Not really, we rely on people's desires and emotions to survive, naturally we will not exhaust the fish, most of the time, we will forcibly wake them up before their real body has problems, but they often behave very manic afterwards, after entering the illusion again, a large number of people will die in the illusion because of the violent emotions that cause the true spirit to die." ”

"Oh?" Shen Congrong was a little surprised when he heard that the heart demon would actually take the initiative to send people out of the illusion realm, and when he heard the heart demon say that these people would behave after entering the illusion again, he sighed: "It turns out that this is the so-called heart demon confusion, and it cannot be liberated?"

The demon said innocently: "Yes, these are people's own problems, but in the end, they all depend on our demons, and it is difficult for us." ”

Shen calmly ignored the demons and said miserably: "Wouldn't it be good if you didn't let them enter the illusion realm again?"

The heart demon was stunned for a moment, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Congrong.

"Okay, my trick has been seen through by me, I don't have time to waste in this illusion, do you take the initiative to send me out or do I kill you and go out by myself?"

The heart demon waved his hand again and again: "Don't fight and kill, I haven't hurt anyone, of course I took the initiative to send Mr. out, but I was entrusted by someone, and I have some things to show Mr." ”

"What is it, by whom?" Shen calmly asked continuously.

The heart demon said: "Naturally, the person I arranged here was entrusted, I remember that his name is Feng Tianyuan, and he is a jade Jane." ”

As he spoke, the heart demon took out a jade slip and threw it to Shen Congrong.

Shen calmly took the jade slip, did not check the contents, but looked at the inner demon and said: "I accepted the things, now send me out." ”

The heart demon saw that Shen Congrong did not check the contents of the jade slip, and knew that she was worried that she would lie to her and would sneak attack when she checked the jade slip.

pursed his lips, and said in his heart: "You can't take this Mr. Yujian out, you have to watch it here, as long as you urge the spiritual power to infuse it, the content will be presented in front of Mr. In addition, Mr. has to go through a small trial before he goes out, and as long as Mr. successfully passes, he will be sent out immediately. ”

The heart demon looked serious, Shen Congrong hesitated for a moment, and decided to explore the content of the jade slip first, and then accept the trial.

Injecting a piece of spiritual power into the jade slip, Shen calmly felt a trace of warmth coming from the jade slip, and then a light curtain shot out from the jade slip, with a large number of words written on it.

These texts mainly tell about some of the things discovered by Qin Tianjian at that time, as well as the problems that exist within the gods and demons, and some problems that occur in the joint suppression of demons with gods and demons.

After reading all the content from beginning to end, Shen Congrong felt a great shock, there was such a thing in it.

Putting away the jade slip, Shen Congrong digested the information obtained, but because this jade slip was given to him by the demon in his heart, Shen Congrong also put a question mark on the content.

After calming down, Shen said calmly: "Thank you, then next, can you start the trial?"

The heart demon snapped his fingers and said, "Of course, you can start right away, of course, before you start, let me introduce the content of the trial a little." ”

"The content of the trial is very simple, it is a sand table deduction, Mr. led 20,000 troops, including 1,000 scouts, 10,000 foot soldiers, 3,000 logistics, 2,000 cavalry, 1,000 crossbowmen, and the remaining 3,000 elite soldiers, with high combat effectiveness and can perform some high-intensity tasks. The enemy had 150,000 troops, including 20,000 vanguard cavalry, 80,000 foot soldiers, 10,000 logistical personnel, 5,000 scouts, 20,000 elite soldiers, 10,000 crossbowmen, and 5,000 mobile sergeants. All the gentleman has to do is to lead 20,000 troops to destroy all the enemies, and then he can pass the trial. After passing the trial, Mr. has successfully passed the second level, and I will send him out of the illusion. ”

After listening to the introduction of the inner demon, Shen Congrong felt that he had misunderstood the word "simple", 20,000 against 150,000, and he still wanted to let the other party be wiped out?

But since this trial is required to pass the second level, it naturally cannot be shirked.

Although this requirement sounds very demanding at first glance, it is not impossible to operate in practice, and the main conditions allow, Shen Congrong needs to confirm some details in advance.

"Can I take a look at the sand table first, and how long will this deduction last, and how long will I have time to prepare?" Shen calmly put forward his own request.

The heart demon opened his arms and said, "Of course." ”

With the action of the demons, a big case appeared in front of the two, there was a sand table on the case, looking at the layout on the sand table, the main terrain is mountainous, there is a certain plain area, in such an environment, if you make full use of the terrain, 20,000 against 150,000 is not difficult.

While Shen calmly watched the sand table, the heart demon said: "The total duration of the deduction is three months in the sand table, and the enemy will officially attack after a month, but this does not mean that the enemy will not act in the previous month, and in the first month, the enemy will continue to send scouts, and even in-house guests, hidden in the gentleman's array." There are a total of three chances, and if Mr. fails to pass the trial three times, I will also send Mr. out of the illusion, but it doesn't count Mr. passing the second level, and Mr. will not be able to continue the subsequent levels. ”

Shen Congrong didn't quite understand the time in the sand table, and asked, "What does the time in the sand table mean?"

Only then did the demon realize that the sand table in the world was different from the sand table here, and replied: "That's right, after the trial begins, as long as Mr. holds the military order, he can enter the sand table, incarnate as the main general of the military order side and carry out the layout attack and kill, compared to the sand table deduction in the world, this deduction will be more real." In the sand table, there is naturally the passage of time in the sand table, but it is three months inside the sand table and about three hours outside. Do you have any questions, sir?"

Shen Congrong has never heard of such a sand table, which can be regarded as gaining knowledge, and there are three more opportunities for this deduction, so he takes care of himself.

Nodding, Shen said calmly: "What about the military order?"

The heart demon threw a red token to Shen Congrong and said: "This is Mr.'s military order, after Mr. is ready, as long as you recite the spell 'Wuqu Volley, sit in the Chinese army, point generals on the battlefield, and deduce military aircraft', you can start the trial." ”

Shen calmly took the military order and looked at it a little, this military order was only the size of a palm, with an inscription on the seal, engraved with the word "Wu", the weight was quite heavy, and it was slightly dropped.

Holding the military order, Shen said calmly: "Since I want to use the military order to enter the main side, then the other side is you?"

The demon waved his hand and said: "It's not me, this battle is a real battle that has happened before, and the other side that Mr. is going to fight against is the enemy general at that time, I hope Mr. can win." ”

Shen Congrong heard that he was going to face the enemy's main general at that time, and he had some subtle feelings in his heart, and said in his heart: "It is a bit interesting to re-enact the battles that have occurred, it must be very useful to teach young generals, if you can get such a sand table and make it in large quantities, Great Qin will definitely go further." ”
