The Songxin Pagoda is embedded in the old gray-yellow wall, surrounded by narrow alleyways.
In the evening, the red sunset light slanted in, completely dyeing half of the alley red. Also stain the door frame gray red.
Lu Sheng took a deep breath, and glanced to the side. A group of black-skinned mice were scrambling for food scraps beside the garbage dump, which seemed to be some kind of fish bones that had been eaten clean.
Hiss.
Frightened by Lu Sheng's gaze, the mice fled in all directions.
Lu Sheng withdrew his gaze and glanced at the entrance of Songxin Tower in front of him. This so-called Songxin Pagoda, except for the entrance of a door, unexpectedly has no other traces.
"Do you want to go in? If you don't go in, please give way." Just as Lu Sheng was observing his surroundings, he was about to seriously consider how to enter.
An indifferent hoarse female voice came from behind.
Lu Sheng turned his head, and there were already two men and women in different clothes standing behind him.
An old maid who seems to be helping out from an ordinary rich family, she looks about forty or so.
The other man was at most ten years old. He wore a blue short jacket embroidered with plum blossoms, all kinds of plum blossoms.
The two stood behind Lu Sheng one by one.
"Please go ahead." Lu Sheng stepped aside.
Anyone can enter Songxin Pagoda, this is not limited to age, status, status.
The old woman strode past Lu Sheng and walked into the gate of Songxin Tower without hesitation.
After that, the handsome man stood in front of the door and hesitated for a while before gritted his teeth and stepped in.
Lu Sheng was not in a hurry to go in, he recalled the information on Songxin Pagoda collected during this period.
There are countless types of tests and tests in the Songxin Pagoda, and the patterns are never repeated. I don't know what the mechanism is like.
But all Songxin Pagodas have a common characteristic, that is, they can accurately screen out talents with good aptitude, good willpower, and values similar to Libra City.
Lu Sheng stood in front of the Songxin Pagoda, didn't go in, but just kept staring at the other people who followed to enter.
The gate here can only be entered and cannot be entered. The moment everyone enters, they can see tiny black ripples rippling inside the gate.
"There is no energy response, there is no mechanism sound... This Songxin Pagoda... It seems that there is no way to count the rules." Almost everyone Lu Sheng saw here had prepared all kinds of things. After preparing, he strode into Songxin Pagoda.
Some people pack big and small bags, some travel lightly, some carry messy accessories on their bodies, and some even bring their beast companions.
After observing for more than two hours, Lu Sheng got nothing. After thinking for a while, he also stood up.
He goes to the door.
The gate of Songxin Pagoda is over three meters high and over one meter wide. There are no patterns on the frame, only a small row of inscription-like engravings on the top.
Lu Sheng identified it, and found that the text was not Eritrean, nor was it any language he knew.
"Since you can't find a rule, you can only try it yourself."
Lu Sheng held the frame with his hand and took a sudden step forward.
Chi.
As if piercing through a layer of soap bubbles, a soft and moist film slid across his body.
Lu Sheng's eyes flashed, and then he went through the door frame completely.
The bustle and bustle of the neighborhood around my ears also fell silent in an instant, disappearing without a trace.
What appeared in front of him was an alley that was exactly the same as before entering the door.
The only difference is that the alleys here are empty.
The mottled gray left by the years remains on the walls on both sides, and some corners have even peeled off, revealing the deep gray inner wall.
Lu Sheng patted the gray robe on his body. His current attire was no different from that of ordinary scholars on the street.
A gray robe covering the knees, white trousers, brown leather boots, a dark blue bundle tied around his body, and a small black gourd hanging from his waist.
Hanging small gourds is a feature of this city of Libra, which means to pray for safety and auspiciousness.
The only difference is that Lu Sheng's hair was cut short by himself, turning into a rare short hair.
Standing in the alley and observing for a while, Lu Sheng vaguely noticed that this alley seemed to have existed for a very long time.
He walked to the entrance of the alley and touched the exposed sunken scratches on the wall.
This scratch seems to be scratched by some kind of sharp claws.
A trace of magic energy penetrated from the scratches, and the corrosion rate was very slow.
"At least thousands of years of corruption..." Lu Sheng came to a conclusion in his mind.
Walking out of the alley, the outside is an empty, quiet and messy street.
The shops on both sides of the street are empty. Looking from a distance, through the windows, you can still see thick dust on some commodity shelves. There are a lot of broken stones scattered on the ground in a mess, and there are some unknown black powders.
"Here..." Lu Sheng frowned. He just came from the neighborhood of Libra City. This place is very similar to the neighborhood, but it has a strange ancient atmosphere.
The subtle structure is different in many places.
A hazy mist floated on the street, and a slight cold wind ran through the entire block.
Lu Sheng walked slowly to a shop and looked inside.
This is a pastry-like storefront, with porcelain plates for pastries on the table and a metal plate that looks like a menu.
"What is this testing? Courage?" Lu Sheng frowned, and walked slowly into the shop.
"Who!" Suddenly a nervous female voice came from the dark curtain at the back of the shop.
Lu Sheng's gaze shifted over. His spirit hadn't sensed anyone here before, but he didn't expect a voice to come out suddenly.
In this place, there seems to be something that interferes with perception.
There was darkness inside the gray-black door curtain, even with Lu Sheng's eyesight, he couldn't see what was inside.
"Who's there!" the female voice sounded again.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Lu Sheng was silent for a while, but still spoke slowly.
He could understand the other party's errand with a bit of a strange sound.
"Really? Can you really help me?" the woman asked hastily.
"If your request is not too difficult, I think it is possible." Lu Sheng said calmly.
The woman was silent for a while, and then began to speak her request.
"Here... this city suddenly became like this one day. There was no sign. I was still buying the flour I needed at the mill. It's a pity..." The woman sobbed a little, slowly Tell it.
"My husband... When I came back, I suddenly found that my husband had some kind of weird change."
"It's weird, a change that scares me!"
"So, I want you to go and bring back my husband who hid in the depths of the city center.
Please also tell him, Nana... Nana has been waiting for him here... I don't care what he becomes..." After the female voice finished speaking, it slowly fell silent.
"I'll bring it." Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes, turned and left.
After leaving the shop, he glanced at the rest of the shops. I am afraid that many shops on this street are hiding similar incidents.
Gathering his mind, Lu Sheng faintly felt that this place, this place, did not seem to be built by Libra City, but it was more likely that they used this place as a testing place.
As for the possible dangers, if you want to get something, you will naturally have to face equal risks and costs.
Leaving the pastry shop, Lu Sheng walked straight across the block and headed towards the center of the city. After crossing a few streets, he soon entered a small garden square.
The square is surrounded by access streets leading to various blocks, and in the middle stands a huge black monster with a shiny metallic luster.
The monster was waving its eight arms, turning its bare head 360 degrees, and looking around.
The upper body of the monster is a human, and the lower body is a huge sphere. It moves completely by the rolling of the ball, making heavy rumbling sounds from time to time.
As soon as Lu Sheng stepped into the square, he was discovered by this huge creature more than ten meters high.
The guy scanned over with two black eyes like lanterns, staring at Lu Sheng.
"If you want to pass here, you have to answer me a question..." The monster's voice was as deep as thunder, and the rumbling sound continued to echo over the square.
"What's the problem?" Lu Sheng poked out his soul, and carefully touched the surrounding environment here.
The gray mist was absorbed a lot as soon as the soul came into contact with it. The stone bricks on the ground also have some kind of inexplicable blocking detection effect.
"There are many people who answer questions here, but very few of them give me satisfactory answers." The monster said in a deep voice, "If within fifty breaths, your answer makes me feel unsatisfied, then I will eat you." , and wait for the next one."
"Understood. Please tell me." Lu Sheng nodded.
He probably understands what kind of character this monster is, and it should be specially set here as a mission level, one of the tests to stop the testers.
The monster shook its head.
"My question is, can you count how many arms I have?"
He shook the long hands on his body, making a slight vibration. The arms waved in the air, and there was a constant whistling.
Lu Sheng counted them carefully.
"Eight arms." He answered seriously.
"Are you sure? Look carefully!" the monster continued to ask.
Lu Sheng hesitated, and counted again.
"... So... four arms?" He felt that half of the monster's eight hands seemed to be hands, which didn't look like arms.
"Are you sure?" The monster waved his arms more and more quickly, and his six arms were slowly becoming translucent and invisible.
"Then... two?" Lu Sheng felt a little uncertain again.
"Look again!?" Two arms popped out of the monster and waved wildly.
huh huh...
The whistling and piercing sound of arms waving became more and more intense.
"Four?"
"Look again?" Two more arms popped out, splitting from the monster's body.
"Six?"
"Look again?" The four arms joined the monster's side again and began to wave.
"Ten rules?" Lu Sheng was expressionless.
"Hahahaha, sorry, guess..." Boom! ! !
There was a loud explosion.
Lu Sheng punched forward like lightning. In just a moment, one of his arms inserted into the monster's head, and a large number of cracks spread rapidly from his palm to the monster's whole body.
"Yes, I guessed it right." Lu Sheng's face remained unchanged, and he slowly withdrew his hand.
"Don't ask such a mentally retarded question next time." He jumped forward and landed on the ground.
A large number of black metal fragments kept falling behind him, hitting the ground of the square, making a loud noise.
