The fire in the center of the soul swayed for a moment, blooming a little light, and there was a little scarlet blood inside it, but now it was rapidly expanding!

Countless memories flashed in Qiu Yan's heart, and memory fragments emerged layer by layer.

At the beginning, it was just a lot of things that Qiu Yan experienced after he came out of the mountain temple......

Subsequently, the picture of his predecessor living in poverty and studying hard was also revealed......

Then, the ordinary life of the previous life on Earth is also revealed......

In the past and present life, ordinary and extraordinary, one thing, one person, flashed rapidly, intertwined with Qiu Yan's thoughts, and bloomed into emotional fluctuations.

Attachment, attachment, nostalgia......

All kinds of emotions flooded my heart, and gradually bred a feeling that was difficult to let go, faintly giving birth to regret and confusion.

These feelings, like invisible ropes, wrapped around Qiu Yan's heart, pulling him towards the unknown.

In the depths of Qiu Yan's soul, his figure is faintly revealed, and below is a sea of yellowed memories, and his person is constantly falling.

That's it!

A sword of wisdom formed by the condensation of the mind flew over and waved in the soul!

This sword is glowing with coldness, it looks no different from a real sword, it is actually a visualization, but what it contains is not a truth, a scripture and a meaning, but the idea of tenacity!

The sword swept away, revealing the indomitable boldness, and where the blade passed, the sorrows, memories, and hallucinations that filled the soul were instantly shattered.

Crackle! Crackle!

The firmness of this sword swing, not even considering the soul body's bearing, the sword light flashed, and the soul body was also damaged, crackling, but a little red in the soul became more and more vigorous!

The figure in his heart was shocked, and then took a step forward and walked forward.

One-step. Two steps, three steps......

The invisible rope that wrapped around his body continued to tighten, Zuihou collapsed, and the yellowed memory sank into his heart, as if he were sleeping.

In the outside world, Qiu Yan's soul body collapsed instantly, and the red in the heart fire expanded instantly, spreading all over every corner of the collapsed soul, and then led the soul body construction, only this time. The soul is red.

Watching Qiu Yan's soul body reorganize, blood red gradually appeared, and the old man's face showed a trace of shock, mixed with a little bitterness.

In a moment, Qiu Yan's soul stabilized again, re-humanoid form, revealing his clothes, covering the pale red soul, and invisible fluctuations rippled out from the soul body. Spreading around, Wen Sijing in the gathering house receded like a tide.

Immediately after, he raised his head and cast his gaze forward. Bow to the old man, "Thank you Mr. for your guidance, this truth that there is nothing outside the heart and nothing outside the heart is very inspiring to Qiu, and this is the language of self-cultivation." Everything always starts from the heart, and then builds knowledge, zuihou relies on his own words and deeds. Spread to the surrounding area, and eventually affect the Quartet and spread the world. ”

In his consciousness, all kinds of memories flashed again, the Dao Heart fist flowed, the feeling emerged, he took a deep breath, and continued: "However, in Qiu's view, the truth inside and outside the heart is not to confuse the true and the false, but to make people grasp the present. ”

The old man had already restrained his expression at this time, nodded when he heard the words, and said lightly: "I didn't expect you to have such understanding, however, you still have a lot of attachments to the old decay, so that your mind fluctuates, and your soul and body have also changed. ”

The old man naturally couldn't see Qiu Yan's memories, but he could understand a thing or two from his mood fluctuations.

Subsequently, he said: "Before people enter the unknown danger, it is inevitable that their beliefs will be shaken, and they will recall their nostalgia, which is not to be ashamed, as long as they do not indulge in it, it will have no effect, but your heartstrings are messy now, if you break through, it is very easy to be confused, even if Wen Pi is together, it will not be destroyed consciousness, but it is possible that the soul is united with Shilin, although there is consciousness, but it is no different from dead things." ”

Hearing these words, Qiu Yan's eyes flashed a little essence, and then he shook his head and said: "Life is calm and quiet, and the memories of the past are not distracting thoughts, I have made up my mind." ”

After the change of mood just now, Qiu Yan's whole person seemed to have undergone a baptism, and his soul body was transformed, originally he chose to break through just to collect intelligence, but now he really wants to explore.

"Have you really decided, won't you regret it?" asked the old man again.

Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes and didn't answer, just nodded.

Suddenly, the room fell silent, and the atmosphere gradually became solemn.

After half a ring, the old man suddenly shook his head and smiled: "Sure enough, how can people who can come here be afraid and stop moving forward because of some difficulties and obstacles? What's more, Qiu Yan You also wrote a book, this entry into Shilin, you must have something to ask for, and you will not be frightened by the words of the old man." ”

While Qiu Yan was thinking about the meaning of the old man's words, the other party breathed a long sigh of relief, and then spit out a sentence that surprised Qiu Yan-

"You've passed this first level!"

"Huh?" Qiu Yan was stunned when he heard this, and even the thoughts in his heart suddenly stopped, but the next moment it returned to normal, but from this point, it could also be seen how surprised the old man's words were to him.

"Accident?" the old man smiled slightly, "In fact, the first level of these three levels is a test of whether you have the courage to take that step in the face of the unknown." ”

"Test the courage of thought? This is one of the three levels?" Qiu Yan's heart moved, and he made up his mind, "What the old gentleman said just now, and the cooperation with Wen Si, affected Qiu's state of mind, are all to deepen my fear of the unknown?"

"Not bad. The old man nodded, with an expression of appreciation and satisfaction on his face, "In the face of the unknown, ordinary people often look forward and backward, but if they act indecisively, how can they achieve something? Only a wise and courageous person can quickly settle his mind, resist the instinctive fear of the unknown, make a decision, and have no regrets." ”

Looking at the old man's face, Qiu Yan pondered for a moment, and then asked, "So, the old gentleman's description of the danger of the three passes is all apocryphal?

"The old decay is not made up, nor is it exaggerated, hasn't it been said, it is extremely difficult to pass the three levels, and it may be an inadvertent decision, which will lead to failure, just like just now, but whenever you have a trace of retreat, choose to retreat, this first level will fail. ”

Hearing this, even if Qiu Yan was determined, he would inevitably feel a chill, and he flicked his fingers: "In this way, after Qiu stepped into this house, he had already begun to break through, and the old gentleman stimulated Qiu's mood with fear, and suggested that I go back to calm my heartstrings, if I agreed, it would be a failure, and I would be broken by Shilin and fuse my mind?"

"Not bad. The old man's face still had a smile on his face, showing appreciation, and even the tone of his voice did not change at all, giving people a sense of kindness and tranquility, but the words he said made Qiu Yan shudder a little, "This is the thought of success or failure in life and death." ”

With a twist of thought, Qiu Yan's brows furrowed.

"This is simply defenseless, and this old man is not a good stubble, he is much more terrible than that Zhao You, Zhao You's ruthlessness and jealousy are all shown on his face, but this old man is amiable, but what he does and says can be called ruthless, in a short period of time, I almost turned around in front of the soul destroying door......"

The power of Shilin, Qiu Yan asked himself that he couldn't resist, just as he was thinking, the old man said again: "The first level has passed, then it's time to start the second level, this first level is to test your courage, and the second level will test your determination." ”

Speaking of this, his voice turned low, giving people a dignified and secret feeling: "The second level, you need to break through the restrictions here and return to the yang side of Shilin, one yin and one yang is the way, so it is said that Shilin is a manifestation of the Tao, and there are also yin and yang, where you and I are now, is the yin side of Shilin." ”

"I don't know the truth yet, it's not time to turn my face......"

Qiu Yan gathered the thoughts in his heart and asked, "In this way, the one with the mountain of books, the frost of doubt, and the long river of history is the sunny side?"

The old man nodded, and then said, "However, relying on the soul of one person is not enough to break through the limit, and some external force is also needed." As he spoke, he turned his head to look out.

"External force?" Qiu Yan followed the other party's gaze, and all he saw was the bamboo forest outside the window, and then his heart was shocked, "The external force you are referring to, is it ......?"

The old man said with a smile: "With the soul of one person, it is difficult to break through the barrier between yin and yang, but gathering the souls of many people, it is another matter, the first level, you use the sword to break the sorrowful thoughts, and this second level, but you need to swing the sword to cut the outer soul! There are many Confucian students outside, you can inherit what you have learned if you break their consciousness and integrate the soul body into yourself, they have stayed for hundreds of years, and many people have condensed the heart of the text, even if they don't, it is almost the same, which will help you a lot." ”

As soon as he said this, the chill in Qiu Yan's heart became more and more intense, and the old man's kind expression looked particularly hideous in his eyes.

Slay the souls of others to prove their hearts!

"What's the matter?" the old man shook his head, "This is not good, it is likely to fail because of this, and the end will be miserable." You are soft-hearted because of others, but it is yourself who suffers, and they will not know at all, even if they know, they will not appreciate it, they will only rejoice in your failure, you have been in contact with Zhao You, you should know that what the old man said is true, human nature is only evil and selfish. ”

Qiu Yan's thoughts were rippling, and he turned his head to look out of the door, his thoughts fluctuating.

"Kill other people's souls? Isn't this an evil way? No, wait a minute, if the three levels are so sinister and I don't know the specific content, how can I tell that I have passed the level? Do you know that what I am saying is not a lie? Moreover, have I really started to break through the level?"

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan suddenly found that his mood was a little chaotic, and what caused the confusion was the old man's series of words.

"Fiction and Truth ......"

Looking at the old man again, Qiu Yan's heart flashed a little aura, and then said: "These Confucian students have been trapped for a hundred years, and if Qiu Mou cuts off his soul again, he will be guilty, and because of this, he can't pass the test, and Qiu won't do it." ”

"Oh?" the old man chuckled, not showing any surprise.

At this time, Qiu Yan suddenly got up, walked towards the old man, and asked at the same time: "There is one thing, Qiu is a little unclear, is there any inconvenience in your eyes?" (to be continued......)
