The four doors are exactly the same, without any difference.
All four doors are open, and the scenery inside can be seen.
The scenery inside is clearly the pavilion from before.
The first one from left to right is tightly closed.
The second door was open, and Shen Lian hesitated before walking in.
Suddenly, the pavilion from before suddenly opened up.
There was a man in the pavilion, sitting cross-legged, with stubble coming out, but he seemed vaguely familiar.
Shen Lian was suddenly shocked that this was not the face of his physical body, but that he had grown from a weak boy to a young man.
The young man opened his eyes and saw Shen Lian. He was not surprised and said slowly: "I haven't talked to anyone in ten years. I didn't expect that the first time I talked to someone was with me."
Shen Lian looked at the bright moon in the sky, felt the wind and grass around him, and smiled slightly: "So I have never left this courtyard."
"We really didn't get out."
"Since you are me, why would you lie to yourself?" Shen Lian said calmly.
"Do you think that the moon in the sky is not moving, and every time it moves to a place, the direction of the wind blows is also different. The direction of the wind blowing now and the position of the moon are not the same as when you saw the four gates. At that time, the previous speculations are consistent with each other?" The young man looked at Shen Lian closely, his eyes full of complexity and sadness.
"Then why am I not dead after ten years?"
"Because this place will only make people feel hungry and thirsty, but it will not make people really die." The young man replied.
"These flowers, plants and trees are actually edible, and there is running water nearby. How can you be hungry and thirsty?" Shen Lian replied slowly.
The young man picked up a stone and threw it towards the garden. It made a loud sound in the air and passed through the flower bed, but not a single petal fell.
Shen Lian saw the stones passing through the petals and branches without any hindrance, and landed in the gurgling water, without causing any splash.
Just like a three-dimensional image, it is not affected at all after being hit.
"Are these all fake?"
"I'm serious. Do you know what I'm going to do next?" the young man said.
"Since you are very hungry, you naturally want to eat."
"But everything here is fake." The young man said seriously to Shen Lian.
"I'm serious, just eat me." Shen Lian suddenly laughed. If the young man is himself ten years from now, then he will be eaten by himself ten years from now.
This is a paradox.
It is cruel for people to eat others, let alone eat themselves.
The young man moved. From sitting cross-legged to flying in the air, the transition was extremely natural.
Make the shape of flying claws with your hands, the palms of your hands are empty, as if there is invisible air flow.
Shen Lian felt the wind and pulled at his clothes, trying to jump into the young man's grasp.
He seemed stunned, or was unable to fight back when faced with this volley.
There was a sizzling sound in the air, and a faint red color could be seen. It was the sparks caused by the friction between the flesh and the air at such a fast speed.
In a flash of lightning, this claw fell on Shen Lian's chest.
A bloody hole opened in his chest, and his squirming heart was taken out.
The young man seemed to have seen the most delicious thing in the world. Shen Lian still opened his eyes, as if he was looking into someone else's heart.
The young man grasped the heart as if holding a bright red peach, bit into it, and the juice escaped.
"It's delicious," he said.
"It must be difficult for you to pretend to eat delicious food." Shen Lian's mouth was slightly curved with unspeakable sarcasm.
The young man gradually dissipated and turned into a puddle of water.
The white light flashed, the moonlight was still like water, and Shen Lian was still surrounded by the same courtyard as before.
The ground was clean without any trace of water.
Shen Lian raised his head. The position of the moon in the sky was exactly the same as when he decided to leave.
Even the direction in which the wind blows is exactly the same.
It's like he never left.
Maybe what he just experienced was just an illusion.
At this time, the master suddenly appeared next to Shen Lian, smiled slightly and said: "You don't think this is true at all?"
"I guessed that the first door tests courage. Because I have proven my courage, the first door is closed, and the second door tests wisdom." Shen Lian doesn't need to say anything, he can tell the truth from the false. It is a kind of wisdom in itself.
"It seems that you have a different view now." The master showed an interesting expression. This kid was so smart, and he was a little surprised by how smart he was.
"Because I suddenly realized that I was stupid. Why should I believe what you said? You told me that the second test was to walk out of this courtyard, but 'there is nothing in the first place', so why should I walk out, since everyone knows it is a lie? "Yes, then I don't have to leave." Shen Lian spoke softly, without using a decisive tone, but it made people feel his deep confidence.
The owner clapped his hands and waved his hand, and the courtyard disappeared. There was no gurgling water next to it, it was just a drainage ditch. There was only moonlight in it, and there was nothing else.
"You have the courage, and you are more aware of the real and the real. You are already qualified to learn my swordsmanship. Of course, this is your blessing." The master smiled.
Shen Lian didn't show any pretense, he held up his hands and said, "Thank you for your advice." He didn't feel that this master was arrogant. Although he could tell the truth from the truth, it would take many years of hard work to make the illusion come true like this master's.
A master is a teacher. It is a blessing for him to learn from such a master.
"You know my surname is Su, you can call me Mr. Su." Mr. Su said with a smile, but still did not reveal his name completely.
"OK."
"Have you ever received any systematic training before?" Mr. Su regained his smile and became a little serious.
"Juniors have learned some methods of concentrating the mind and entering concentration, as well as practicing qi kung fu." However, he did not say "The True Solution of Shangqing Lingbao Naturally Locking the Mind and Concentrate the Mind", but only said "concentrate the mind and enter concentration" instead.
"I have long seen that your soul is much stronger than ordinary people. It is indeed the seed of cultivation. Although your skills in practicing Qi and building foundation are not superb, the foundation is very solid. It is also like Qingxuan's Farewell, Qingxuan trains Qi for the world. Zhengzong, it seems you have some luck."
"The qigong I practice does have something to do with Qingxuan." Shen Lian said honestly.
"Hehe, although Qingxuan is good, it happened many years ago. Not to mention it, everything in the world can be practiced. In my eyes, only swordsmanship is the only one." When Mr. Su said this, he was very proud and scornful. The spirit of all things.
Mr. Su was quite disapproving when he saw Shen Lian, and continued: "Do you think I am exaggerating?"
"Don't dare."
"I guess you are also a smart man. You only know that everything can enter the Tao, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior. But you don't know that people in the countryside still know that 'everything is inferior, but only reading is high'. I am not exaggerating that the sword is the only one." Su. The gentleman's expression was stern, the moonlight struck his face, and his face was sharply angled.
