When Mei Bixi heard this, she turned her head and stared directly at the abbot:
"you sure?"
The abbot shivered silently. He felt a lot of pressure. If there was real pressure, it would make him want to kneel on the ground to express his surrender.
Of course, such a strange power cannot be due to psychological reasons, but in fact, Mei Bixi has completely abided by the rules of the game so far, and has never exuded the power of her predecessors to overwhelm others.
The abbot knew this, so he felt even more weird, as if he had been possessed by an evil spirit.
Little did he know that behind him, on a big head over three meters tall, a pair of round and large glass-colored vertical pupils were staring straight at him like his master.
Under the overly round body shape, the huge eyes staring down at him revealed large areas of the whites of his upper eyes, and his face was extremely terrifying...
Of course, the abbot who could not see such a scene would not feel pressured by Oka's face and demeanor. The reason why he had an obvious physiological reaction was because the cat's head, which was enough to swallow him in one gulp, kept using its barbed fingers.
The tongue licks the mouth.
Oka is hungry.
"Confirmed...confirmed." Under great pressure, the abbot gritted his teeth and said the words. After all, his reason told him that there was absolutely no reason for the senior in front of him to kill someone just because he was loyal to his duty.
Sure enough, after hearing the answer, Mei Bixi suddenly restrained her cold temperament and smiled as if she was in a good mood: "Okay, how about just using this stove?"
As she spoke, she pointed to the desk-sized stone tripod incense burner directly north of the martial arts arena.
The last test of the Tianxu Sect, "refining the heart in the furnace", does not require any special magical tools, nor does it require actually putting people into the furnace to bake.
It only requires burning a special incense, and then using specific techniques to guide the aroma around the subject. It can then put the subject into a state similar to trance, immersing them in the test of human experience.
In one stick of incense, this mysterious state will break away on its own after the incense burns out, without any danger. If you can break away from the mind-refining illusion before the incense burns out, that is a sign of passing the test.
The shorter the duration, the more detached the state of mind is.
The interesting thing about this kind of test is that everyone will experience a different style every time they take the test, and this illusion is generated based on the flaws in the examinee's heart.
Ambitious young people will see a future in which they will dominate the world; middle-aged people who are worried about life will fall into many disturbing predicaments at present; old people whose time is running out will often see a
A pure land of eternal bliss that has nothing to do with reality.
Some of these illusions are full of difficulties and torture, and some are addictive and selfless. The only thing they have in common is that they can most accurately penetrate into the crevices of people's souls and unearth the deepest weaknesses.
The incense used in the Heart Refining Furnace is a unique craft of the Tianxu Sect, and is much more expensive than the bronze mirror instruments used in the first two tests and the spiritual stones used to set up the array.
So unless you want to test the talented new disciples or deliberately make things difficult for them,
The furnace was burning, the incense was burning, and Mei Bixi proudly stepped into the smoke with her hands behind her hands.
In an instant, the Fenguan Mansion in front of her turned into smoke and dissipated, and all her life's energy became ethereal and distant, like a dream.
But the reality is just a village burning in thick smoke, and broken limbs roasted all over the streets.
A handsome immortal with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, but a temperament as gentle as water, and a face that was colder and colder than her own, whose gender was difficult to distinguish, was looking at her indifferently.
Mei Bixi also looked at the immortal, neither crying nor fussing, nor saying a word.
For a long time, the immortal tapped the alchemy furnace tattoo on his finger, took out three steamed buns, two gold bricks, a scroll of exercises, and a fairy sword that was obviously a magic weapon, and then spread it out and suspended it in front of Mei Bixi and said
:
"Whatever you want, pick one."
When the immortal spoke, Mei Bixi realized that the heroic elder in front of her was a woman.
She was hungry, had no livelihood, longed to become stronger, and even more eager for revenge. But she didn't see these things in front of her, she looked at the fairy with clear eyes and said:
"I want to know why they killed everyone and burned down my village." Mei Bixi, who was less than one meter tall, spoke in the clear voice of a young girl.
"Because your father's bloodline is intolerable to some people. This matter is related to a close friend of mine, so I came here. The deeper involvement, even if I tell you now, you don't understand.
And this is just a question, not a request. Since you and I are destined to be together, I have to give you something. Say what you want. As long as it is the true thought in your heart, there is no problem even if you want me to avenge you."
When the fairy said these words, there was no trace of compassion in her expression, she was just as calm and calm as ever, as if nothing in the world could make her heart agitate.
The young Mei Bixi lowered her eyes and contemplated. After a long time, she gave an unexpected answer in a firm voice:
"I want……
The world is at peace."
The handsome fairy was stunned for a moment, and then smiled for the first time: "At such a young age, I have really made great ambitions. I feel like I understand why she wants me to come.
Come with me, you and I are destined. Keep what you say today in mind, this is your path. How far you can go in the future depends on how long you can persist and never forget your original intention."
"Master..."
"No, I have decided not to accept any more disciples. Call me mother, I think what you need more now is a family.
If one day you really need a master who can teach you to become stronger, my mother will introduce you to a suitable candidate."
"Is it great?"
"It's amazing. She is the most beautiful woman in the world, and she is also my mother's best friend and benefactor. My mother's coming to find you today is her guide to uncover the secrets of the universe.
In the future, her path will need you, and if you really want to realize your ambition, only she can help.
By the way, what’s your name?”
"Bi Xi. My father and I have the same name."
"Your mother is a pure-blood human, so you are not a bastard. Mother doesn't want you to bear a lot of burdens on your own, so change it to a homonym suitable for a girl. From now on, your name will be your mother's surname...
…
Mei Bixi."
The smoke in front of Mei Bixi's eyes dissipated, revealing the abbot's stunned face.
"No! This is impossible. You have not been affected by the Heart Refining Furnace at all, right? You have definitely cheated!" The tricks failed again and again. The abbot was already a little angry and began to speak indiscriminately.
In his cognition, the phantom mist of the heart-refining furnace dissipated completely in just a breath of the girl in front of him.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Mei Bixi no longer looked as embarrassed as when she was suspected of cheating at the beginning. Instead, she smiled very calmly:
"Whether you think I cheated or not, it doesn't matter anymore. Because I have passed all three entrance examinations."
Intentionally or unintentionally, she emphasized the words "all three".
