The time it takes to make half a cup of tea is neither long nor short. For those who act decisively, such a long time is enough to consider the gains and losses and make a choice.
For people who are usually indecisive, that time seems too short and it is difficult to make a decision.
Just when some creatures were still struggling, an indifferent voice came from the silent air again: "The time for half a cup of tea has come, and those who abstain will stay."
As the sound fell, the creatures sitting or lying on the ground in the square were lifted away by invisible forces and moved to a corner of the square to gather alone.
After those creatures who had abstained were removed, a golden light fell from the sky.
The golden light is a huge light group that remains the same after landing.
The cold voice resounded throughout the audience again: "The three tests last for half a month. Those who fail to pass within the time limit will be eliminated. The first test will be after the teleportation array. The timer will start when the teleportation array is opened. I wish all races
Good luck to the practitioners!”
Only then did the word "good luck" reach the ears of all living beings, and the huge golden light group burst out with dazzling light and turned into a huge vortex.
The teleportation array is activated.
The teams that were close to the passing formation flew into the vortex without hesitation, and the teams that were far away also took action, flying towards the vortex in groups.
The teleportation array was about three hundred feet away from Leyun, neither far nor close. She moved her steps calmly and moved forward.
Mi Guang and his junior brothers also moved in an orderly manner, keeping the same pace as the human race fairy.
As the teams in front moved into the golden vortex in groups, there were fewer and fewer creatures blocking them, and their speed gradually increased. In a moment, they were in front of the teleportation.
Out of many considerations, Le Yun took the golden lotus magic weapon on her shoulder in her hand. Without even raising her eyelids, she flew up lightly and plunged into the golden vortex.
As before, when being transported, it still felt like being thrown into the high-speed spinning dehydration barrel of a washing machine, and my eyes turned white.
After a moment of dizziness, the dazzling white light disappeared.
Le Yun shook her head and opened her eyes to look at the new environment. In the bright and soft light, a large mountain rose from the ground in the distance, half of the mountain submerged in clouds and mist.
A stone staircase extends straight from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The other end of the ladder is also hidden in the clouds and mist, and there are no handrails on both sides of the stone ladder.
That stone staircase is the first level of the test. It is called the "Questioning Heart Ladder".
In addition to the high mountains with stone staircases, peaks rising from the ground can be seen in all directions.
The sentient beings who were teleported to the level stood on a grassland, a real grassland!
The grassland is located between mountains, with sparse woods far and near, and clusters of shrubs. Such grassland is called "savanna" or "savanna meadow" on Earth.
The clouds are rolling high in the sky, and the clear air is curling between the sky and the earth.
After looking around, Le Yun grinned, holding the golden lotus magic weapon and flew leisurely, passing through the teams of various ethnic groups who had just landed or were looking around, and flew towards the high mountain with the stone stairs.
At the foot of the mountain, Mi Guang and his fellow apprentices are looking for traces of the human race fairy.
They walked into the teleportation array almost at the same time as the little fairy, but after landing, the little fairy was nowhere to be seen.
Mi Guang looked at the Stairway to Asking Hearts. Most of the teams that arrived first from all races had already boarded the Stairs to Asking Hearts, but there was no little fairy among those people, indicating that the little fairy should have been teleported to other directions.
"Let's go." Mi Guang decisively decided to take the first step since he didn't find the little fairy.
"Okay." Xunhuai, Jingning and Changshui didn't have any objections. Instead of waiting here, they might as well go ahead and wait for the little fairy at the end of the third level.
Little Tianlumon didn't make any fuss and just stayed in his brother's arms.
The junior brothers walked to the steps and stepped onto the first step at the same time. Then Mi Guang put his younger brother down and asked him to walk slowly in front, while they followed behind.
Milo was extremely unwilling to walk by himself, and complained a lot. Seeing that his brother and senior fellow apprentices really didn't know how to help him, he reluctantly raised his paw and took the first step, and then the second step.
…
Three people and one beast followed Little Tianlumon, walking step by step, slowly climbing towards the top of the mountain.
When the trio of two beasts climbed about 300 steps, Leyun also passed five levels and defeated six generals, surpassing countless teams, and arrived at the stone staircase at the foot of the mountain.
The stone staircase is made of bluestone and is inconspicuous. When standing in front of the stone staircase, each step seems to be only a foot long. However, there are dozens of people scattered sparsely on many steps.
Le Yun moved to the side of the steps and placed the golden lotus magic weapon on the ground about ten feet away. She walked in and greeted the two handsome guys and the Calabash Baby. The four little creatures sat down and ate to replenish their energy.
Sharpening your knife will keep you from chopping firewood, and you will have the strength to climb mountains only when you are full.
Three people and five beasts divided a camel beast, each got a big piece, put it in his own rice bowl, and each ate his own piece.
The team in front was staggering on the road to ask the heart, while the latecomers stepped on the ladder one after another, while the little Loli and a group of friends stayed in the golden lotus magic weapon and immersed themselves in cooking. The two formed a sharp contrast.
The teams that rushed to the Wenxin Ladder also frequently paid attention to the teams that were busy eating. Several teams originally wanted to go directly to the ladder, but after thinking about it, they followed suit and ran to eat the dry food they brought with them.
A young monk in monk's robes walked up to the ladder and saw the groups of people eating. He moved aside silently and took out a naan.
The delicious naan that I eat on weekdays seems boring in the aroma wafting from the golden lotus magic weapon next to me.
The young monk looked up at the team in the Golden Lotus Dharma Treasure, looked at his own naan, put it away, stood up and walked to the edge of the Dharma Treasure, clasped his hands together and sang: "Amitabha! Fellow Taoists, the young monk is polite!"
The three people and five beasts who were busy replenishing their energy stopped eating and looked sideways. They saw a handsome little monk and couldn't help but be startled.
Although the visiting monk had a smooth head and a ring scar on his forehead, it did not affect his appearance at all, but made him even more handsome.
The handsome young monk is a pleasure to look at.
A group of friends stood up without saying a word.
Le Yun stuffed her rice bowl back into the storage container, wiped her mouth, returned the monk's salute, and got straight to the point: "I wonder what the master wants from me and my companions?"
"The young monk's Taoist practice is shallow and he is not worthy of the title of master. The young monk's Taoist name is Nanjia. Fellow Taoists can call him by his Taoist name." Nanjia explained the two words of the Taoist name and gave another salute: "The young monk's intestines are wet with hunger. I want to
Let’s create a fate with fellow Taoists.”
"Fellow Taoist Nanga, we have meals in hand, but they are mainly based on meat. Although some meals are vegetarian, they are inevitably contaminated with meat when cooking. I wonder if my little master can eat them."
To be honest, Le Yun was in a bit of a dilemma. She really didn't intentionally make vegan dishes when cooking. Even if she cooked vegetarian dishes sometimes, when making spiritual meals, hundreds of stoves would be turned on at the same time, so the vegetarian dishes would inevitably be contaminated with meat.
"Although the young monk is a Buddhist cultivator and a Taoist master who cultivates the mind, he does not avoid meat and vegetables on weekdays." Nanga's tone was calm, and his brows were filled with tranquility and peace.
"In this case, fellow Taoist Nanga, please come in and sit down for a while." Buddhist monks are not taboos about food. Le Yun suddenly lost her pressure. She took out a table and a chopping board, then took out a knife and cut up a camel beast.
With a smile on his face, Nanga said the Buddha's name, stepped into the Golden Lotus Dharma Treasure, sang the Buddha's name to several monks and little creatures, and sat down on the ground beside him.
Yan Shaoxuan and his little gourd boy returned the gift, sat down with the four little creatures, hugged the rice bowl, and did not eat immediately, waiting for the little loli/fairy.
Le Yun chopped it up with a knife, cut up a camel beast, filled a small wooden basin with a whole leg of camel beast meat, and gave it to the young monk. She also gave him a basket of meat-stuffed buns.
He collected the remaining spiritual food first, then the tools, sat down on the floor, took out his bowl, greeted the guests, and continued eating.
The little fellow Taoist was so generous. Nanga thanked him, cut the meat into small pieces, put a portion in his own rice bowl, and put away the excess before eating.
The spiritual meal has all five flavors. Nanga, who has been eating vegetarian food for many years, finally eats delicious food, and his whole body exudes happiness.
Master Xuan looked at Monk Jun from time to time while eating. When he finally finished his portion, he washed the rice bowl with the dust removal technique and then took care of himself.
Seeing that the little creatures had packed up by themselves, he gave the little ones one spiritual fruit, and he took the little creatures to eat the spiritual fruit.
When he saw that Monk Jun had also finished his meal, the "curious" cat in Master Xuan's heart came out and asked his friend: "Little beauty, is this fellow Taoist also a little expert in frying the kitchen?"
"It's almost the same." Le Yun smiled and showed her good teeth: "Fellow Taoist Nanjia has the three spiritual roots of gold, wind and fire. Even if he doesn't fry the food when he cooks, the food he makes is dark cuisine."
"No wonder." Xuan Shao realized that monks have no dietary restrictions and can eat whatever they want. However, he was reduced to alms, which means that he is not suitable to be a cook.
Nanga, an expert in deep-fried cooking, shyly said the Buddha's name. His spiritual roots were not suitable for making spiritual meals, and there was nothing he could do. He wanted to make a tooth sacrifice to buy food, but they only sold him vegetarian food, not meat, so he
Even if I want to eat meat, I can't.
This is the first meat meal he has eaten in more than a hundred years of traveling!
Lingshan is so delicious!
After eating the food he wanted to eat, Nanga was in a happy mood. He packed up, got up, straightened his monk's clothes, walked out of the Golden Lotus Dharma Treasure first, and waited for his little Taoist friend aside.
The Calabash Baby was the smartest and took the Rock Baby and Lingzhi Baby outside to wait for the little fairy.
Xuan Shaoyan followed him out and stood on the other side of the four little creatures, protecting them together.
Le Yun replenished her energy and used the dust removal technique on herself. She was the last one to step out of the golden lotus magic weapon, shrinking the magic weapon and still placing it on her shoulders.
Calabash Boy and the boy took the lead and walked happily to the stone staircase and stepped in without hesitation.
The little creatures followed the big demon and also stepped onto the stone stairs.
Young Master Xuan and Young Master Yan quickly followed.
Stepping into the stone staircase, the scenery in front of me suddenly changed. Before, I always felt like there was a film between the stone staircase and the mountain, but now there is no longer that sense of separation.
The mountain is a real mountain, and the stone staircase is also a real stone staircase. The wind carries the smell of vegetation and soil and blows towards your face, which is real and simple.
This is a long-lost scent.
It is a natural and natural atmosphere that cannot be felt in Qingshi Square.
The stone staircase is very long, and one step is more than enough to accommodate a hundred people at the same time. However, the width is the same as that of an ordinary stone staircase, and it only takes one step to cross.
Yan Shaoxuan released his spiritual consciousness to see how long the stone staircase was. He was shocked to find that his spiritual consciousness could only rotate within a foot above his head and could no longer go to higher places.
Calabash Baby set off with the little creatures, shouting as he walked: "Let's go, let's go, hurry up! Friends, crawl and crawl, let's eat melons when we reach the end..."
Young Master Xuan and Young Master withdrew their spiritual consciousness and walked forward silently.
Nanjia walked side by side with the little fellow Taoist. He walked behind the four little creatures, and the little fellow Taoist walked behind her two friends of the Nascent Soul Lord. When the person in front stepped on the second step, the two of them stopped.
Climb the ladder of inquiry slowly.
Asking the Heart Ladder, as the name suggests, means asking the heart.
This level tests a person's state of mind. If the will is not strong, it is easy to fall into an illusion or even become a demon.
If a person trapped in an illusion cannot break the illusion and come out on his own, he will be trapped in it forever, and the body left behind will become a walking zombie.
If you are possessed by a demon, you will either become violent and hurt others or yourself, or your consciousness will collapse or your body will explode and you will die. Even if you are not dead, you will become demented.
Stepping onto the first step of the Questioning Heart Ladder, Le Yun asked with a leisurely smile: "Fellow Taoist Nanga, do you feel that the aura here is stronger than where you were before?"
"The aura here on the Wenxin Ladder is indeed stronger." Nanga told the truth. When he entered the area of the Wenxin Ladder, the aura around him was circling like silk threads, as if he was weaving people into a web.
Such a feeling is very obvious, and creatures with normal senses must be aware of it.
"My two friends and the little ones will be walking slower. Fellow Taoist Nanga does not have to wait for us. We can go ahead to meet up with our fellow disciples or friends."
"Fellow Taoist, before the young monk came here, he was traveling alone. As soon as he landed in the secret realm, he started the test. He had no companions before, and he is not in a hurry now."
"Hey, you are one of the last lucky ones to arrive."
"Yes, how many days have you been here, fellow Taoist?"
"I should be among the batch that arrived in the mid-term. I have been waiting for more than 20 days."
"Fellow Taoist has been waiting for more than twenty days. Can you guess how many creatures have entered the secret realm?"
"Before the last team arrived, the number of monks who arrived first was a little more than 8.75 million, and less than 8.76 million."
"So many monks?" Nanga was shocked. More than eight million is not a small number. So many monks have poured into the secret realm, which means that the competition must be fierce.
"Yes, look in front of you, then look back and look behind. There are densely packed monks everywhere." As a whistleblower, Le Yun turned her head and looked behind without any pressure.
She calculated that there were about 3.5 million beings from all races ahead of them, and about 5.8 million monks from all races behind them.
As for the creatures who voluntarily abstained and were left in Qingshi Square, the total number was estimated to be less than 30,000.
Based on this speculation, the last group of teams that entered the secret realm totaled about half a million creatures, and their number far exceeded the number of monks in the previous groups that arrived at the same time.
