"What are you still standing here for? Go back!" The big figures from the two religions yelled at each other. They felt it was quite embarrassing to be watched by people like this. The three children jumped off the stage with gloomy expressions and returned to their respective stations.
"Oh, it seems that the trial in the Ancient Holy Land is not easy after all. Three people were eliminated in the first level!" The people waiting outside to watch the fun started talking one after another.
"Don't you know? There are three levels in the ancient holy land. The first level is called 'cultivating the Taoist Heart'. It is actually a kind of illusion. Once you get through the illusion, your soul will be sublimated and gain great benefits." One person obviously knew.
The insider showed his knowledge to the people around him, which immediately attracted many people to ask questions.
"Friend, I don't know how many gates there are in the ancient holy land, and what are they?" someone asked.
The man coughed lightly and said to everyone: "You have asked the right person. Although I have never been to the ancient Holy Land, I know someone who has entered the Holy Land back then, so I know the situation inside very clearly. I said before
, this first level is called cultivating the Taoist heart. There are two more levels below, namely the second level of increasing qi power, and the third level of growing wisdom. As the name suggests, increasing qi power is to increase strength, and growing wisdom is to improve wisdom. In short,
Every time you pass a level, the tester will gain huge benefits."
Having said this, the man's face condensed slightly and he said: "But these three levels are only the first level of the trial. According to old legends, there is a second level of trial and a third level of trial above."
"What? There are second and third trials?" Most people's faces showed shock, "But why have we never heard of it?"
"Because this is highly confidential, only a few people know about it." This person glanced meaningfully in the direction of the twelve manifest saints, "The second trial site and the second trial site are too far away.
It's so dangerous. Throughout the ages, only a few people have entered the second level. Such a person only appears once every thousand years."
"Once in a thousand years!" There were sounds of air-conditioning coming from all around, and everyone felt that this thing was incredible.
"Then why don't we know about this? What is there to hide about this?" someone asked.
"You are on to the point." The man smiled mysteriously, "It is speculated that those who entered the second trial should have encountered a powerful creature that lives in the wilderness but never appears in the world."
This statement immediately made the entire scene become noisy. Creatures in the wilderness? How is this possible! Are there creatures in the wilderness?
The man seemed to be very satisfied with everyone's shock. He said in a deep voice: "You think this is incredible? But do you know how big the wilderness is, and how long it has existed? The existence of modern human civilization has been a long time.
It is only a very short period of time in the long history of China. So even if there are indeed creatures in the wilderness, I would not be surprised."
After hearing these words, everyone pondered, are there really living beings in the wilderness? But the wilderness is just a desolate and huge world of nothingness, or a spiritual-like world, how can there be any living beings? What if?
There are living beings, so how do living beings survive in the wilderness, and in what state do they exist, in the form of souls?
When everyone came back to their senses and wanted to continue questioning the person, they found that the person had disappeared at some point, and no one knew how he left. Later, people discovered that everyone present was not aware of the situation at all.
I got to know the talkative mysterious man, and this incident has become an anecdote and is talked about by many people.
At this moment, Zhang Jun and the other four people had already walked to the middle of the Silver Bridge, during which they each experienced different illusions. At this time, the illusion disappeared, and the four of them looked at me and me, all smiling slightly. Zong Yuan looked more confident.
In order to stabilize himself, Zhang Jun asked: "What have you experienced?"
Zongyuan sighed and recounted the illusions he experienced one by one. It turned out that in the illusion, he married Qinglian, and then the two of them stayed together and flew together. Then they rose rapidly in the world of cultivation, and finally they both became saints. But even if they became saints, they would still die of old age.
One day, death finally came, and Qinglian passed away first. And his relatives and friends died of old age one by one. All this hit Zongyuan very hard. Fortunately, he passed through the illusion safely and recovered from it.
With this gain, I look more mature and stable.
When he was very young, he cultivated his mind in the small world of Xuanhuang. The perfection of his mind was not inferior to that of Zhang Jun. It was expected that he could survive the illusion. However, Qinglian seemed a little reluctant. In her illusion, she suffered from the
Dangerous, he had no choice but to forget Zong Yuan. But after forgetting, Zong Yuan gave up on himself, was heartbroken, and was in great pain.
But after all, she is a person of great wisdom, and she finally overcame this pain and walked out of the illusion safely. Her whole person looked more peaceful and peaceful, like a snow lotus swaying in the wind, transcending the worldly world.
Except Erxiao, Hei Balang and Zhang Jun also have their own achievements. No one knows what Hei Balang's illusion is, but he seems to have not changed. The same is true for Zhang Jun. Both of them have very exciting experiences in their lives. They have a heart for the Tao.
They are as solid as a rock, so mere illusions have limited impact on them.
Seeing that the Silver Bridge was halfway through, Zhang Jun looked at it with Buddha's eyes. At the end of the Silver Bridge was an endless land, like a big world. In this world there were mountains, rivers, vegetation, birds and animals, and exotic flowers and plants.
Most of them were things he had never seen or heard of.
"The next level is interesting, let's hurry up!" He waved his hand and led everyone on foot. The four of them walked for more than ten minutes before Ilia reached the middle section, followed by Goode and two other Catholics.
The child also arrived, and the four of them glanced coldly at Zhang Jun in front of them. The Catholic child said: "These yellow-skinned monkeys walk very fast, but it's a pity that they don't live long."
"Our guardians are dead, how can we deal with them?" Gude frowned and said, "Do we need to take action? I'm afraid there is no hope, right?"
"Of course not." The tall Catholic kid sneered, took out a strand of purple-black hair from his pocket, and said in a sinister voice, "Do you know each other?"
"What is this?" Ilia immediately felt a terrifying magic power from his hair, which frightened him.
"This is a strand of hair from the devil Satan. Hehe, I know how to activate it. I can use it to cast the 'devil's entanglement'. I don't believe these people can avoid it!" the child said fiercely.
Ilia frowned slightly: "Spear, you have to be careful. Satan's hair has the power of curse, which is not easy to control."
"Don't worry, I'm sure." The Catholic boy named Spier said confidently, "You must cooperate with me when the time comes. Only we can get the one-time quota."
"There is a guy from the Islamic religion and a guy from the Middle Earth behind. They look like they are not weak." Good said, "Why don't we wait and kill these two people first."
"Okay!" Spear laughed strangely, "Let's get rid of them first!"
Finally crossing the Silver Bridge, time and space changed in front of everyone's eyes, and the pictures flew around. In an instant, they entered a vast wasteland. The wasteland was so big that the edges could not be seen. The grass and trees inside were very tall.
The trees outside are so big; a vine, as thick as a roof ridge, twists and turns on the earth like a giant snake. The mountains here are extremely tall, reaching deep into the sky, perhaps thousands of meters high.
There is also a big river on the ground. The river is hundreds of miles wide, as vast as the sea, and the waves are turbulent. The occasional huge waves are hundreds of meters high, overwhelming the sky and the earth, and the power is astonishing. Because the vegetation is too tall, except for Zhang Jun, he observes it with Buddha's eyes.
, no one else can see the overall situation, and can only see the scene ahead through the gaps in the grass and trees.
Heibalang's eyes flickered and he said: "This should be the second level, to increase the strength."
"Increase one's strength?" Zongyuan blinked, "Uncle Heiba, can this level increase one's strength?"
Heihachilang nodded: "Yes, this trial place is a place used by the ancients to improve the strength of children under ten years old. The first level is called cultivating the Taoist heart, and you have already passed it to enhance the spiritual level through illusion; the second level is called
To increase your energy, you can use this level to increase your strength; the third level is called wisdom, and after passing the third level, your wisdom will be greatly improved."
Qinglian was surprised and said, "Can wisdom also increase?"
Zhang Jun said: "Of course wisdom can grow, but for now we should get through this hurdle first."
"How do I pass this level?" Zongyuan asked, "Why hasn't my strength increased yet?"
Zhang Jun looked forward and narrowed his eyes slightly: "I think I roughly know what to do, but I still need to be sure." After saying that, he suddenly stood up and dashed towards a big tree opposite. This
The tree is very large, with a diameter of more than 100 meters, and the back of the tree is covered with giant roaches and weeds. In the middle of the weeds, a mantis squats. This mantis is very different from the outside world. It is completely black, like a black mantis.
It is like a gem. It is at least two meters tall and three meters long. Two large saw blades overlap in front of it. Each saw tooth is like a large dagger, sharp and terrifying.
This mantis has been waiting for an opportunity. As soon as Zhang Jun and a few of them enter its hunting range, it will immediately attack, cut these prey into several pieces, and then eat a delicious meal. But it obviously did not expect that,
After the prey discovers its existence, it dares to actively pursue it.
Zhang Jun's speed was too fast. Halfway through, the Zhenwu Sword came out of its sheath with a "choking" sound, and a ray of cold light suddenly appeared like lightning. Before the giant mantis had time to take action, he felt a light movement on its two forelimbs. Its natural weapons, two
The huge saw fell to the ground, and black-green liquid spurted out from the severed limb. When it realized that the situation was not good, the Zhenwu sword flashed again, and its triangular head left its neck, rolling and falling to the ground.
"thump!"
The mantis' huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang.
Zongyuan and others approached in surprise and looked at the mantis curiously. "It's so big!" Heihachiro blinked, "Is this the second level of this damn place?"
Before he finished speaking, the huge mantis corpse turned into a rain of light and scattered in the sky. At the same time, a white light shot down from the sky, as thin as a paper rope, and fell on Zhang Jun's body. He felt it carefully and found that the immortal martial spirit in his body was
The strength, as well as the muscles, bones, blood vessels, etc. all over the body, have been slightly improved. His eyes lit up and he said: "It seems that my guess is correct. The way to increase strength is to hunt these monsters."
