"Congratulations, I am a thief. I have passed the fifth level of the trial. All attribute points have been permanently increased by one,"
Murong Xiaotian stood on the fifth floor of the Linglong Tempering Tower, ignoring the system prompts. In his heart, there was just an unspeakable melancholy, "Xian'er will wait for you to come back. If it doesn't work in a hundred years, then a thousand." Years, if a thousand years doesn't work, then ten thousand years...' That voice seemed to still echo in his ears, making Murong Xiaotian's heart unable to calm down for a long time.
This does not mean that Murong Xiaotian has forgotten Baiyun, or is not dedicated to Baiyun. This feeling is difficult for Murong Xiaotian to explain clearly, because whether it is Xian'er, Bi'er, or Ling After all, they are not real characters. He is said to be ruthless towards them, but he still has feelings for them. But this kind of feelings is different from his love for Bai Yun. It has more pity and sympathy. Although they have human feelings, Thoughts can have love just like people in reality, but that love seems so pale and weak. They will definitely end with the end of "Destiny". Maybe, all this is just a short-lived fairy tale. .
"Is "Destiny" a real destiny, or is destiny a virtual "Destiny"?" Murong Xiaotian smiled helplessly, but Xian'er's voice seemed to be so real and echoed in his ears, lingering, It's still confusing.
"Don't think about it anymore," Murong Xiaotian shook his head, put aside the chaotic thoughts, and walked towards the stairs on the sixth floor of Linglong Tower...
As soon as he entered the sixth floor, before Murong Xiaotian could react, he felt the tide coming from all directions towards him. He seemed to be in the blue ocean. The sky was windy and sunny, as if there was endless spring. It's a beach in summer. Yes, it's water. The water looks very weak and gentle, like the gentle breeze blowing under the moonlight. But when the water rushes to Murong Xiaotian's body, it's not the same. , as if thousands of sharp knives were cutting his body, tearing his skin apart inch by inch, and similarly, a time hourglass appeared in front of him, and it was this cruel experience again, and this kind of experience again. This kind of cruel torture, the previous two tests of cold and wind still made Murong Xiaotian feel frightened and shuddered, but now, this kind of hair-raising test appeared again, Murong Xiaotian's pupils shrank instantly, and there were big beads of sweat. Sliding down from his forehead, the water seemed to penetrate every hole, cutting and tearing every inch of Murong Xiaotian's body from the inside out, and the pain made him almost suffocate his breathing.
Murong Xiaotian was trembling all over. He felt the water for the first time. It turned out that water could be so terrifying. He would rather go through trials like finding the Iron Soul Bead or the Void Village, although such trials were full of mysteries. , one step after another, if you make one wrong step, you will fail, but he would rather go through such a trial than suffer such cruel torture.
The whole person was immersed in the water, and he could only see the hourglass of time slowly sliding down. The feeling of being tortured made people almost collapse. Slowly, Murong Xiaotian didn't even have the strength to look at the hourglass, and just gathered the last bit of energy in his body. Strength, to bear the pain that is about to completely collapse my spirit...
"Congratulations! I am a thief. I have passed the sixth level of the trial and all my attribute points have been permanently increased by one."
The moment the system prompt sounded in his ears, Murong Xiaotian's whole body relaxed suddenly, and the heartbreaking feeling disappeared: "Damn water," Murong Xiaotian threw out a word weakly and lay down on the ground. , enduring the inhuman torture, exhausted all his strength.
I don’t know how long it took, but little genius Murong finally regained his composure and said, “Damn, water, I’m scared of you,” he shook his head with a helpless smile, and then got up from the ground. It seems that he will have to take less baths and wash his face less in the future. Okay, it’s better to stay away from water. Damn it, it’s too scary.
"Go to the City of Unjust Death and get the Soul-Severing Knife. There is no time limit."
As soon as he entered the seventh floor, Murong Xiaotian let out a long breath. It just wasn't a torture test. That kind of test was really terrible.
What appeared in front of him was a tall city tower. The three characters "City of Unjust Death" were very eye-catching on the tower. There were many people coming in and out of the city gate, and it looked very lively.
"Damn, this kind of trial is not bad," Murong Xiaotian cheered up and followed the flow of people into the city. The city was not as lively as usual. There were many shops and restaurants on both sides of the street. It seemed that the business was quite good. The shouts and cries of the various vendors on the side show the prosperous scene of the Unjust Death City.
Murong Xiaotian began to wander along the street. Since the soul-breaking knife was to be found in the city of unjust death, he should first get familiar with the situation in the city.
Murong Xiaotian was walking and shopping, and suddenly a place at the corner of the street was filled with people. He didn't know what they were watching, so he couldn't help but walked over.
"Money fell on the ground," Murong Xiaotian shouted, and while the crowd was bending down to look for money, he got into the innermost part of the crowd.
"Wow, it really took no effort at all. I like this kind of trial." As soon as he entered, Murong Xiaotian's eyes lit up. In the open space among the crowd of onlookers, there was a long, wide, high, The large bluestones of one meter each are said to be large bluestones, but they don’t look much like each other, and I can’t tell what kind of material they are. No matter what kind of stone they are, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that there are A knife, the entire blade is completely submerged in the stone, leaving only the handle exposed, and this is not important at all. What is important is the three words engraved on the handle, Soul-Destroying Knife.
"The Soul-Destroying Knife, I found it so quickly," Murong Xiaotian chuckled, but did not run up impulsively. There must be a reason for inserting the knife here. Besides, next to the big stone where the knife was inserted, There was also a big man in his thirties sitting there, waiting until he understood the situation before taking action.
"Brothers, sisters, heroes from all walks of life who are watching, I think all the heroes are familiar with this soul-breaking knife inserted on this stone. It is my master, the best swordsman in the world, the knife-breaking knife. The best weapon in the world, the Soul-Destroying Sword. As long as there are heroes in the past, who can match the couplet in my hand and solve a puzzle I created, then this Soul-Severing Sword is his. Yes, I’ll give you 100 purple gold coins at the same time.”
After listening to the big man's words, Little Genius Murong figured out what was going on. He didn't know if he would get one hundred purple gold coins if he finished it. That was a lot of money. He thought about it, so he hurried towards the big man. From the hanging couplet, it seems that this kind of thing played by cultural people is something he is weak in.
"The goat goes up the mountain, the mountain touches the goat's feet, bleat bleat bleat,"
"Wow," Murong Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh happily when he saw such a couplet. When he changed jobs before, he was tortured by Mo Tianxiong, and he had to memorize this kind of thing a lot, and the above This couplet is exactly what I have memorized before, and it has more than one answer. Unexpectedly, it actually comes in handy here.
"The flower cat plays with the flower, the flower is obsessed with the flower cat's eyes, meow meow meow,"
A pleasant voice came in from outside the crowd. A very beautiful girl, accompanied by two maids, walked in from the separate crowd. She had a beautiful voice and an even more beautiful person. From the looks of it, she seemed to belong to that rich family. Rich lady.
"Okay, that's right," the crowd cheered.
"Damn it, that woman who came out actually took my business," Murong Xiaotian cursed secretly, but still held back his anger. Who cares about her, there is still a puzzle to solve anyway, so let's listen first. Okay, I was prepared in my heart. If this woman really got the answer right, I would buy the soul-breaking knife from her. If she refused, I would steal it. Murong Xiaotian made up his mind and continued reading patiently. .
"Well, very good." The big man stood up with a smile and nodded towards the girl: "The girl is quick in thinking, and her answers are both appropriate and neat. Good, not bad. Then, please give me the second question below. Let’s solve the puzzle,”
"Master, please," the woman raised her jade hand gently, which was both generous and decent, making people's hearts move.
"Then listen up, girl," the big man smiled slightly: "There were eight birds on a tree. After being shot by a hunter, four flew away, one fell down, and two were chirping. , and there is another one standing on the branch, neither barking nor moving, why, "
"Quack, quack, quack," Murong Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh out loud. When he was fighting Mo Tian Lao Bu Shi, this kind of thing made him rotten. He couldn't be more familiar with it. If this girl can answer it, then he Murong Xiaotian really admired her.
Maybe because Murong Xiaotian laughed too loudly, the girl gave Murong Xiaotian a rollicking look, and the two maids even glared at Murong Xiaotian fiercely.
"I'm sorry, I have little talent and little knowledge. I really can't answer the question." The woman frowned and thought for a moment. After a long time, she shook her head at the big man and suddenly pointed at Murong Xiaotian and said, "This young master just smiled so proudly. , I think someone with great talent will be able to solve the master’s mystery, why don’t the master ask him to come and answer it,”
"Damn, you want to make me look embarrassed, you're too young," Murong Xiaotian couldn't help but sneered inwardly when he saw the woman pointing the finger at him tepidly, but on the surface he still looked calm and calm.
The big man smiled at Murong Xiaotian and said, "Brother, can you come and give it a try?"
"What's so difficult about this?" Murong Xiaotian replied proudly without even looking at the woman: "I'm going to say the following line: The buffalo goes into the water, the water covers the horns, moo moo moo,"
"well,"
"That's right," the crowd cheered.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then looked at Murong Xiaotian with a very strange look.
Murong Xiaotian also felt that look, but he would never turn his head and look at it, hey, show off, your little girl is a little too young.
"Okay, you are right. She is no less good than this girl." The big man smiled and nodded: "Then please sir, please solve the second puzzle below. Do you need to describe the puzzle again?"
"No need," Murong Xiaotian confidently waved his hand and said in a calm and powerful voice: "The bird that fell from the tree was shot down by the hunter's gun. The four birds that flew away were frightened by the gunfire and flew away. Yes, and the two chirping birds were frightened because they were fledglings still in the nest, but they were unable to fly away and could only chirp. The last one neither flew nor screamed. Because it is a deaf bird, it cannot hear the sound of gunshots and is not frightened, so it neither flies nor screams."
After hearing Murong Xiaotian's answer, the big man looked excited and bowed to Murong Xiaotian: "Sir, he is a scholar of heaven and earth. He is very talented. He is really smart. What he said is absolutely correct. Wu admires him." "I fell to the ground."
"You're welcome," Murong Xiaotian hurriedly replied, feeling secretly ashamed. He was so pedantic. He didn't graduate from elementary school. It was just luck. He happened to know these two questions and was praised so much. It was still the first time that they came out of their mother's womb. If Jue Feng, Kuang Zhan, Aaron and the others knew that they were called pedantic beings with great talents, they would not laugh their heads off.
No matter how thick-skinned Murong Xiaotian is, at this moment, his face still feels hot.
