The only woman among the five members of the Taoist Sect slowly walked out. She was dressed in fluttering blue clothes and had a soft appearance. She held a jade flute in her hand, like a fairy. She smiled at everyone and said, "There are three treasures in the Tao. Heart, body, and spirit!”
"The first level is to test your Taoist heart. Only when you have the Taoist heart can you embark on the road of spiritual cultivation. I will play a song later. You don't need to do anything. Just listen carefully. If you can follow me If you persist in the sound of the flute for more than fifteen breaths, you will pass the test."
"If you can't persist, don't be brave. Sit down cross-legged immediately and you will automatically be out of the range of my flute. Of course, if you have the ability, persist as much as possible. The longer you persist, it shows your Taoist heart. The more determined you are.”
Compared to Xiao Yishu, Junior Sister Xiang Xuan's attitude was obviously much better. At least she explained the first level in more detail so that everyone could understand it.
However, most people, including Jiang Yun, still feel puzzled. What does listening to the sound of the flute have to do with whether the Taoist heart is firm or not
Besides, just listening to the sound of the flute, what can't you insist on
These doubts already had answers when the melodious sound of the flute sounded.
"puff!"
The moment the flute just sounded, someone suddenly looked up to the sky and spit out a mouthful of blood, staggered back, and sat down on the ground!
And this person is clearly Jiang Yun!
This sudden change left everyone dumbfounded. Even Xiang Xuan was slightly stunned. The flute that had just sounded paused for a moment.
Although Jiang Yun and others do not know the relationship between the sound of the flute and whether the Taoist heart is firm or not, Xiang Xuan is very clear that in the sound of his flute, everyone below the Blessed Land realm can see various illusions .
Some people can see the temptation of beautiful women, some can see the temptation of wealth, some can see the attack of wild beasts, etc. No matter what you see, as long as your Taoist heart is firm enough, you will not be moved by these illusions, and thus you will be able to play the flute. Keep going despite the noise.
The firmer the Taoist heart, the longer the time to persist in the face of illusions, and vice versa.
But Jiang Yun's situation is really too weird, because his reaction can no longer be said to be whether the Taoist heart is firm, but rather like - no Taoist heart!
However, Tao gives birth to all things, and all things have Tao mind!
To be honest, since the founding of the Taoist Sect, or even since the birth of this method of testing the Taoist heart, there has never been such a situation.
"I just said, he is a wild man, he cultivates a wild way, which is different from the great way we pursue, so he does not have our Taoist heart!"
At this moment, Huo Yuan's sarcastic voice sounded again, and this time, even Tang Yi did not speak to defend Jiang Yun. After all, Jiang Yun's situation was too weird.
However, no one had the intention to continue to ponder this issue now, because the flute that had just stopped sounded again, and everyone began to do their best to contend with the illusion that appeared in front of them.
Suddenly, in the huge square, only the melodious sound of the flute was left.
Within the five peaks of Taoist Sect, after a moment of silence, several voices that could not be heard by outsiders sounded one after another.
"Everyone, have you ever encountered such a situation?"
"No! I have been practicing Taoism for more than five hundred years, and I have never even heard of it, let alone encountered it!"
"Could this kid be a demon?"
"Impossible! Even if the demon clan can hide it from us, it can't hide it from the four Dao beasts and the mountain guarding formation. Besides, the demon clan also has a Taoist heart!"
"Maybe it was just an accident!"
No one could give a reasonable explanation for Jiang Yun's situation, let alone Jiang Yun, who knew nothing about Taoism.
He only knew that the moment the melodious flute sounded, a huge mountain appeared in front of him and crashed into him heavily.
Even though his body was strong, he couldn't withstand such a fierce impact, so he spit out blood and stumbled to his knees.
Although Jiang Yun was confused, he at least understood that he had failed the first test, and he had two more chances. If he failed both, he would lose the qualification to enter the Taoist Sect.
Fortunately, the injury was not serious, and Jiang Yun did not stand up. He continued to sit on the ground, waiting for the end of the first level of assessment.
Although he could no longer hear the sound of the flute at this moment, he could clearly see that many people around him began to sit down cross-legged one after another.
Some people, like him, were vomiting blood, while others were pale and their bodies were shaking. It was obvious that they had suffered serious or minor injuries.
When Xiang Xuan moved the jade flute away from his mouth, only one person was still standing at the entire mountain gate, and it was the man in black who seemed to be isolated from the world that Jiang Yun had noticed before.
T{/
The sound of the flute didn't seem to have the slightest impact on him. Even from beginning to end, he didn't even change his posture. His body was always as tall and straight as a pine!
Xiang Xuan took a deep look at Jiang Yun before announcing the results of the assessment.
A total of 267 people successfully passed the first level, and all of them were the people Jiang Yun paid attention to.
In other words, these people have already obtained the qualifications to enter the Taoist Sect. Even if they are just handyman disciples, they are enough to make other people extremely envious.
Of course, in addition to the attention paid to these qualified disciples, Jiang Yun also received a lot of attention.
There is no way, his performance is really more eye-catching than anyone else.
"Second level!"
Without giving everyone any time to rest, Xiao Yishu's voice sounded again, drawing everyone's attention to him.
As soon as he finished speaking, five people, including him, stretched out their hands, and a ray of light flew out of each person's palm and landed on the ground. They were five mirrors.
Each mirror is as tall as a person and has a simple style. However, there is mist on the mirror surface, which cannot reflect any scene at all.
"The second level tests whether you can condense the Taoist spirit. This is the Taoist Mirror. You are divided into five groups and lined up in front of the mirror. As long as the fog on the mirror changes, you will pass the level! "
Listening to Xiao Yishu's explanation, most people, including Jiang Yun, were still confused.
Does looking in the mirror count as an assessment
If the fog on the mirror changes, does it count as passing
When everyone looked at each other, Huo Yuan said contemptuously: "Oh, a bunch of rubes, they want to join the Taoist sect without knowing anything! Let me tell you, only by having the heart to follow the Tao can you embark on the road of cultivation, and in If you want to go further on the road of spiritual cultivation, it depends on whether you have the spirit of inquiry!"
"The Taoist spirit is contained in the Taoist mirror, and it can sense whether you can condense the spirit of Taoism in the future! Hey, let me give you a demonstration!"
Although Huo Yuan's tone was not good, he made everyone understand the content of this assessment.
Looking at Huo Yuan, Shi Shiran stepped forward and walked out towards the interrogating mirror. Everyone, even Jiang Yun, opened their eyes wide, trying to see clearly whether there was any mystery or mystery in this level.
