Not long after Shen Jiayan defeated the Shadow Demon, Ling Xu also woke up.
Ling Xu's Dao is able to break through reality, and it can be said to be the biggest nemesis of Shadow Demon. The mere Shadow Demon naturally couldn't do anything to him.
In the fantasy just now, he was walking alone on the street, and the people passing him all around him had blank faces.
Ling Xu just walked away for a long time with no expression on his face. His heart is empty, even if the shadow demon invades, the illusion created will only be blank. Just when Ling Xu finally felt bored and took out the Mirror of Questioning Mind to end all this, he saw a person in his fantasy—Fang Huo.
And the moment he saw Fang Huo, everything on the street became alive.
I saw roadside vendors yelling hard: "Buns, delicious meat buns!" The freshly baked food was still steaming. Children in buns ran up and down the road, singing nursery rhymes. The old cow was still chewing grass in his mouth, pulling the cart behind him, and the driver of the bullock cart was drowsy...
Before Ling Xu came back to his senses, Fang Huo took his hand, pointed to the hawker selling candied haws and said, "Husband, I want to eat that. You buy it for me." His pupils were curved into a smile, agile and sly, and his face was narrowly waiting to see him huddled together with a bunch of children.
Ling Xu walked over as he said, and smiled at the children who were pushing back and forth: "The brother in white standing there wants to eat this candied haws, can I buy it for him first? "
Those children were dazed by Ling Xu's smile, and unconsciously made way for them.
Ling Xu walked over lightly: "I want all these candied haws. Except for this, you share the rest with these children." Ling Xu handed the peddler a high-grade spirit stone, casually took a bunch from it, and turned to Fang Huo walked over.
"Here." Ling Xu handed Fang Huo the candied haws in his hand.
Seeing that he couldn't catch Ling Xu, Fang pouted dissatisfiedly, and gnawed on the candied haws as if venting, as if he regarded the candied haws as Ling Xu's substitute. He ate too hastily, and the rock sugar shards stuck to his lips, making his lips look bright red.
Ling Xu wiped off the sugar residue on his lips with his hands, put it into his own lips, and after tasting it, he still judged it as if it was true: "It's very sweet."
Fang Huo was slightly startled, his slender Danfeng eyes widened.
Ling Xu was about to laugh and joke, but Fang Huo suddenly tiptoed and kissed him on the lips. Between lips and tongue, Ling Xu heard Fang Huo murmur: "It's sweeter this way."
The time of the whole street seemed to freeze in an instant, and those peddlers and children became irrelevant existences. In this space, only the two of them are left.
After the kiss, Fang Huo looked into Ling Xu's eyes shyly and timidly: "Husband, can you stay and be with me forever?"
Ling Xu lowered his head and chuckled: "It turns out that the greed in my heart is actually this."
Fang Huo turned his head to the side, blinked his eyes, and asked puzzledly, "Husband, what are you talking about?"
Ling Xu didn't answer, took out the questioning mirror, and took a picture of Fang Huo: "The evils appear, they can penetrate the maze, break it!"
As soon as Ling Xu finished speaking, the world around him began to collapse little by little, turning into spots of light scattered in the air. All kinds of human faces are entangled together, the faces of peddlers, the faces of children... they are extremely hideous and terrifying. In the end, it disappeared without a trace under the light of the Mirror of Questioning Mind.
In front of Ling Xu, there was only the real Fang Huo's worried face.
Seeing that Ling Xu finally woke up, Shen Jiayan breathed a sigh of relief: "Why is it taking so long? Is your illusion hard to break?"
"No." Ling Xu looked at Shen Jiayan with a smile that Shen Jiayan couldn't understand, "It's just to confirm some things."
"Then, what is your illusion?" Shen Jiayan couldn't help being curious.
Ling Xu asked back with a smile: "Then what is yours?"
Hearing this, Shen Jiayan immediately thought of Sanskrit, and his mood inevitably became depressed again. Master once said that he should wait for him by himself, and that he would definitely come to find him, but now he still hasn't come. Shen Jiayan pursed her lips, her smile suddenly faded: "It's nothing."
Obviously, he is unwilling to bring up this topic again.
From Fang Huo's expression, one could tell that he was thinking about something, but no matter what he was thinking, it should have nothing to do with him. Thinking of this, Ling Xu's eyes were stained with displeasure, but the smile on his lips did not diminish: "Don't you want to know why I didn't come out in time just now?"
With Ling Xu's words, Shen Jiayan's attention was attracted: "Why, why?"
"Because I saw you in the illusion." Ling Xu continued to make up in an orderly manner, "I have escaped safely, but you are trapped in a trap and cannot get out. You begged me to save you, just like before I'm not sure if you're safe, so I don't dare to act rashly, so I've delayed until now."
Hearing this, Shen Jiayan couldn't help feeling a little guilty, he had indeed caused Ling Xu a lot of trouble before: "I'm sorry."
It's just that Shen Jiayan forgot that what Shadow Demon can clearly show people is the most beautiful scene in his heart. Ling Xu said that he could see Shen Jiayan in his own illusion, which in itself can explain many problems.
Ling Xu rubbed Shen Jiayan's hair, and said in a helpless tone, "You really are an idiot." He said all this, but he still didn't understand.
Shen Jiayan only thought that Ling Xu was angry at the troubles he had caused him along the way, so naturally he didn't dare to refute.
Just when the atmosphere was quite stagnant, the stone door suddenly opened.
The Immortal Qingxu on the painting wall twirled his snow-white beard and looked like a fairy, saying: "The two are really young talents, and they broke the shadow demon left by the old man in less than half an hour. Highly qualified."
This should be a remnant left by Immortal Qingxu.
"This junior has seen Immortal Qingxu, and hastily disturbed Immortal Qingxu, please forgive me." Ling Xu said respectfully as a junior. Shen Jiayan was busy imitating the example: "I have seen Immortal Qingxu."
"Not to mention disturbing, the old man has been waiting here for a thousand years." Immortal Qingxu said, a dark light flashed in his eyes, which was fleeting, but Ling Xu and Shen Jiayan, who bowed their heads in salute, didn't see it.
"The old man used a set of Qingwei swordsmanship and Qingxin Jue to walk in the world of comprehension, and later ascended to immortality here, which is also considered to be destined to this place. Now, the old man plans to choose one of you as the old man's successor. But before that, This old man wants to test your aptitude." With a wave of Immortal Qingxu's hand, Shen Jiayan and Ling Xu were thrown back into the hall.
And together in the hall, there are Sikong Cong, Mo Yao, Lianzhi, Shui Qingyi and Xu Shu.
Seeing Fang Huo and Ling Xu being thrown in together, Xu Shu looked at Fang Huo with hatred. He never thought that by entanglement with Sikong Cong, he would actually give Fang Huo a chance to get close to Ling Xu.
According to Xu Shu's thinking, Ling Xu is so perfect, it is impossible for Fang Huo not to be tempted by him. Therefore, Fang Huo must have approached Ling Xu with ulterior motives in order to compete with him for Ling Xu.
It's just that he can't turn against Fang Huo right now, and he still wants to use Fang Huo to compete for the position of the only successor. Therefore, Xu Shu took a look at Ling Xu and chose to bear it.
"Inscribed on the stone tablet in this hall are the sword formulas of slight sword skills and the formulas of pure heart formulas. Within a quarter of an hour, it depends on whether you can comprehend this first level. If you can, it will be regarded as entry." If it doesn't work, you have to leave this place." As soon as Immortal Qingxu's words fell, golden runes jumped out of the stone tablet.
To reach this step, everyone is not a thing in the pool, and no one wants to stop here.
Everyone raced against time to comprehend, and Shen Jiayan was no exception.
Xu Shu was the first to understand it thoroughly. He had seen this mantra in "Cultivation of the Tao", and he was very clear about the method of comprehension. Followed by Sikong Cong and Lianzhi.
Mo Yao and Shui Qingyi were also secretly competing. Their two sects were originally incompatible with each other. In the end, it was Shui Qingyi who enlightened Mo Yao one step ahead.
As for Shen Jiayan, he still couldn't comprehend it.
He silently recited the mantra over and over again, clearly feeling that there was a thin film between himself and the mantra, but he couldn't break that barrier no matter what.
The quarter of an hour is almost up, Ling Xu opened his eyes, and said to Shen Jiayan through voice transmission, "Taoism is natural, you don't need to deliberately, but let it approach you proactively."
Hearing Ling Xu's words, Shen Jiayan suddenly realized what was wrong with him just now. Shen Jiayan closed his eyes, calmed down, and let those golden runes pass through his body, no longer trying to pursue them. Those runes danced up and down around Shen Jiayan, and gradually merged into Shen Jiayan's sea of consciousness.
At the last moment, Shen Jiayan finally understood.
Less than a few seconds after Shen Jiayan stood up, Ling Xu also stood up.
"Very good, all of you have passed the first trial. Next is the second trial." Qingxu Immortal smiled consummately, "In this hall, there are a total of seventy-two stone statues. After the method is opened, these stone statues will come back to life. If you can last until the time of the formation is over, you will pass the test, if you can't, you will lose the qualification to become the successor of the old man."
As soon as Immortal Qingxu finished speaking, the hall vibrated faintly, and rubble, sand and stones fell down one after another. Those stone statues really came alive in an instant,
Everyone was secretly terrified, but Xu Shu looked confident. There is no other reason, he knows that there is a wonderful mechanism in this hall.
The author has something to say: Sort it out:
Shen Jiayan: Fang Huo is a character who is transmigrated, the cannon fodder in "Cultivation of Taoism",
Sikong Cong: Gong, the main character in the original "Cultivation of Taoism", is also cannon fodder after Xu Shu crosses over;
Xu Shu: The protagonist Gong who came through the book; from his point of view, the problem is this: anyway, Fang Huo is destined to become a devil, and he can use "bad guys"; he can;
Ling Xu: Being worn by the master,
The fourth volume is called Sanskrit.
In a nutshell, this is a story of Xu Shu desperately trying to get rid of Sikong Cong, but in the end he assists Fang Huo and Ling Xu instead.
(Sorry, maybe there are too many characters in the front, and next time Zhuzi will slow down to write ~~ Meh)
