"Oh? Shouldn't the government be responsible for safety issues?" Lu Sheng asked doubtfully.
"Of course, with the Yinfu Army of the Yangming Army and the Yinyang Division, of course it's not our turn, but when they encounter major troubles, they are qualified to call me and others to join us in defense." Elder Zhang Shilong explained, he He has an extremely gentle attitude towards Lu Sheng. After all, he is a top genius from his own county. If there is a genius of this level in a county, if he recommends him, he will be honored even in the clan.
And no matter what, Lu Sheng's achievements in the future, he is now from Qiuyue County, and he is a native of his hometown. This is a natural sense of belonging.
"Yangming Army" Lu Sheng murmured, the two of them just mentioned this when a group of armored soldiers on tall horses came slowly from the side of the crossroad ahead.
The leader was a strong man, he was dressed in jet-black armor, and there were horn-like decorations on both sides of his helmet. Carrying two giant scimitars on his back, the shape of the scimitars is a bit strange, like willow leaves, shining silvery in the sunlight.
"Woo." The big man raised his hand, looked at the Qianyangzong motorcade in front of him, and told his subordinates to stop. Then quietly watched the convoy pass by in front of him.
Elder Zhang Shilong who was beside Lu Sheng poked his head out of the car, smiled at the big man, "Captain Li has worked hard, he is still leading the team on patrol in such a hot day."
"The responsibility lies." The big man said lightly.
Zhang Shilong nodded.
The convoy quickly passed the patrol army and continued to drive deep into the city.
Lu Sheng looked at the big man carefully. My heart trembled slightly.
The man's breathing was heavy, his heartbeat was low and slow, and his body surface gave off a strong sense of heat all the time.
From more than ten meters away, he could hear the sound of blood flowing from this man.
"What a strong body!" He was slightly speechless. Although it is not as good as him, but the physical body alone can achieve the same level of strength, this big Yin really hides the dragon and crouches.
"Did you see it?" Zhang Shilong smiled and stood beside Lu Sheng. "This one is Captain Li Jinglong Li, who is in charge of the security of Qiuyue County today. He is also the real rising star and star of tomorrow in the Yangming Army of Qiuyue County.
His strength is outstanding, he is the strongest in the entire Yangming Army except for Lord Situ, the guard. You may have many opportunities to deal with him in the future. Because this fan likes to do things by himself the most, and he hates the demon race extremely, even though he himself is of half demon blood. "
Lu Sheng didn't know why, so he just nodded.
Zhang Shilong smiled and continued: "You will at least stay in Qiuyue County for many years. It is also good to establish a good relationship first."
Lu Sheng was noncommittal, his plan was not to stay here for a long time, just looking at Zhang Shilong's mysterious smile, he probably guessed that the other party might have methods and arrangements that he hadn't come into contact with.
The convoy moved forward all the way, and soon came to a temple with thick gray smoke pillars emerging from both sides.
There are already heavily guarded guards at the entrance of the temple, standing in two rows, forming a human-shaped passage.
Lu Sheng was the first to get off the car, and Elder Zhang Shilong took the lead to walk inside.
After entering the temple, all the monks came out one after another, bowing to Lu Sheng and Zhang Shilong. Zhang Shilong ignored him, and quickly dragged Lu Sheng across the road and into the temple.
Behind them are the rest of the people who came together to enter the secret realm.
Entering the main hall of the temple, a group of five testers, three men and two women, stood side by side in the middle of the main hall of the temple.
What this temple enshrines is not Buddha or Bodhisattva, but a black lotus with one eye.
The huge black lotus is like a big bowl, with a vertical pupil split in the middle, and the black and white pupils inside are looking at everything in front of them with a strange look.
"Woo, choke, huh, huh, huh, huh," the door of the main hall closed slowly, and there were bursts of strange shouts from somewhere. There seemed to be many monks shouting together.
After Zhang Shilong instructed Lu Sheng on the next action steps, he took people out ahead of time while the bronze door was still open, leaving only the five geniuses who had entered the secret realm in the hall.
rumble
The main hall door slowly closed and closed.
Boom.
The last crack of the door was completely closed. Everything is quiet. The entire hall was plunged into darkness.
Lu Sheng stood calmly on the spot, facing the one-eyed black lotus and waiting quietly.
After ten breaths.
rumble
The door of the main hall opened slowly again, and the light from outside shone in, turning it completely into a dim yellow.
It was just early in the morning, but the copper door of the main hall was opened and closed like this, and it turned into the light of dusk.
Lu Sheng looked at the other four people on his side. Their eyes flickered, and they all looked back at the opened copper door.
Outside the door, there is a dilapidated old courtyard, which is still the square of the temple, but it is different from the new and clean one before. At this time, the courtyard is full of black dead leaves, cobwebs, cracked floor tiles, dry and cracked wood, which is about to turn yellow. Falling red paint.
call
A biting cold wind blows in, and it is gloomy and gloomy.
Lu Sheng looked back at the tall one-eyed black lotus statue, the one-eyed lotus in the middle seemed to be filled with a faint red light.
"This is the secret realm. We need to pass the second test and test. Do you have any good suggestions?" A woman with braids asked softly. Her accent didn't look like that of Qiuyue County. The pronunciation of Yin Guanhua is too standard, without local timbre, and people who are too standard often come from other places.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Ma Sangjiu. I have a white jade rating." The woman does not look pretty, but she can give off a very gentle temperament at a glance. It is easy to gain the trust of ordinary people.
"This place should be a corner of the outside world, either the Demon Realm or other realms. The ability of the clan is really high! It's just a county test, and such a big effort has been used." Another young man with long yellow hair praised. . "You can call me Song Du, Bai Yu commented. We seem to have been temporarily released to other outside worlds. The only criterion for passing the test seems to be to pass through many obstacles and find a way to leave the temple."
"Young Master Song Du knows how to do it." Another girl with a cold temperament said lightly.
"It's okay, my brother passed the test like this last time, and he told me many possible scenarios before coming here. If there is someone who knows how to lead the way in this secret realm, it will naturally get twice the result with half the effort and avoid some dangers." Song Song They all smiled.
"However, we were released to the outside world just for a test, isn't it a bit too much?" The last man was a muscular man who looked honest and honest, and asked his doubts in a low voice.
This is actually Lu Sheng's doubt.
"Dangerous?" Song Du laughed out loud. "What do you think is a genius? The genius of my Great Yin is not a genius in terms of aptitude, but a genius with aptitude, potential, strength, character, and all-round genius! A real genius is one who can reverse miracles even in the face of desperation. What ordinary people can’t do. This is a genius! If a genius is easily killed, it’s not a genius, it’s a waste.”
"No genius can be easily killed. Don't forget that we are still at war with the demon world. If we can't bear such a little danger, it's better to go home and be a breeding ground honestly. Don't come out and show yourself." Song Du said. The man's face turned red, but he couldn't say anything.
"Although Mr. Song's words are a bit vulgar, the truth is the same. Brother Wang, don't blame me." The cold girl defended Song Du in a low voice.
"It's okay, I'm just a little puzzled, not afraid." The man said separately.
"So, what should we do now?" Ma Sangjiu asked Song Du in a low voice.
"This is Heiyin Temple. I don't know if it is the main body. The temple we entered is just a projection of imitation. But I remember that Heiyin Temple has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, every hour, there will be people who strike the bell in the night." , to remove all living beings living in the temple.
When the time is up for the first time, the speed of the bell striker in the night is normal. We just need to pay attention and don't meet him head-on. You have to be very careful the second time, the speed of the bell striker has increased greatly, this kind of monster is immortal, no matter how many times you kill it, it will be useless. "Song Du explained in detail, "Our ultimate goal is to go to the core of the temple and ring the bell. Then you can open the gate of the temple and leave here. So we need to lure that monster away. "
"So we'd better act together?" Ma Sangjiu asked softly.
"That's right." Song Du nodded.
"Just leave this temple, right?" Lu Sheng finally spoke. "I'm Lu Sheng, Chi Yu commented."
As soon as the word "Chiyu" came out, the other four people couldn't help but focus their eyes on Lu Sheng.
They are all at the white jade level, and they all know the strength of the red jade evaluation. It can be said that in the county tests over the years, except for the top black jade evaluation, the red jade is the strongest. As long as such a genius does not fall in the future, he must enter a higher branch of Fucheng, or even a branch of Zhoucheng. It is almost certain to be a future earth element level powerhouse (snake level).
"Since it's the senior brother who was evaluated by Chiyu, then the command right this time." Song Du's voice was slightly astringent.
"Everyone do as you please." Lu Sheng said flatly, raising the note in his hand. "Ring the Ming bell first, then escape the threat smoothly, and leave the Black Seal Temple, all of which have surfaced. The time limit is six hours."
The four of them realized that there was an extra piece of paper in their palms at some point, on which the goal of this mission was clearly written.
And there is another sentence at the end: it must be done independently, not in a team.
For a while, the hall fell silent.
After a while of silence, Lu Sheng was the first to walk out of the palace gate, not bothering to pay attention to the others.
After that came Song Du, Ma Sangjiu, and the other two.
The five of them consciously separated themselves. Since they were acting alone, they naturally had to comply with the regulations. Otherwise, they would fail the test. No matter how well they performed, it was useless.
Outside the main hall, the sky was a dim yellow, full of thick dark yellow clouds, and the tumbling clouds seemed to be within reach and could be crushed at any time.
The walls in the courtyard were covered with dark blood stains everywhere, and some broken bones were piled up in the corners, it was hard to tell whether they were human bones or not. Several withered and black trees grew crookedly in the middle of the courtyard, and at the foot of the trees were scattered some clothes and other cloths worn by people.
Lu Sheng stood in the middle of the courtyard and looked around.
"This is a maze, go this way!" Song Du hurried past him and rushed out from the arch on the right, "Quick, quick! There will be dangers here soon, you can't fight them, try to avoid fighting , Save energy!"
The rest of them followed suit one after another, rushed out the door, and quickly disappeared from sight.
Lu Sheng stood alone in the middle of the courtyard and glanced around. Slowly pull out the long knife from behind.
boom! !
The light of the knife flashed, and there was a crackling sound like a hurricane, and a gray-white knife energy gushing out like a tornado.
The wall in front of the courtyard suddenly shattered, leaving a large gap.
Lu Sheng carried the knife and Shi Shiran walked out from the gap, and quickly walked towards the direction marked on the scroll, disappearing in the rising dust.
Not long after the few people left, the black-clothed monks, who were blind and bleeding from the corners of their eyes, lowered their heads and clasped their hands together, and walked out of the hall quickly.
The monks divided into two teams and chased from the gap in the wall and the direction of the arch respectively.
