Upon seeing this, Lin Yu did not hesitate, and immediately rushed to the nearest mansion with a few people around him.
Although he and Jiang Lanyue already had tokens, Wu Chen and Shi Xuan were part of a small group with him, so naturally he would not abandon these allies directly.
The next moment, Lin Yu and others entered another mansion.
"At the beginning of man's life, his nature is good..."
There was a clear sound of children reciting books, and in the middle of the mansion, a tall and thin old teacher with a pale face was nodding and looking at the row of children in front of him.
The children shook their heads and kept reciting the same article, with catchy voices. It was a harmonious and positive scene between teachers and students.
"this……"
This scene made the person next to Lin Yu look strange.
Since entering the ancient city, they have been encountering all kinds of strange things. It was rare to encounter such a seemingly harmonious scene, which made him a little uncomfortable.
"Nao Nao deserves a beating!"
The sound he made attracted the attention of the old teaching gentleman. His face darkened, a ruler appeared in his hand, and he clapped it in the direction of the man.
Snap!
There was a crisp sound. It was obviously just a slap in the air, but it seemed to have hit the man's hand, causing his palm to swell up.
"you!"
The man's expression couldn't help but change, and he was about to say something, but the next moment, his expression became dull, and then he involuntarily walked towards the row of children.
He sat down on the edge, then shook his head and started chanting along with the children: "In the beginning, human nature is inherently good..."
"What a weird trick!"
For a moment, Lin Yu and others looked solemn.
This teacher could inflict a powerful tester with just a slap in the air with a ruler. This method was even more terrifying than the previous two apes!
"Amitabha."
Beside Lin Yu, Wuchen recited a Buddha's name, then took a step forward and said, "Dear donors, why don't you leave this guy to me to deal with it."
"Om, well..."
He uttered six words of mantra in succession, and with each word he uttered, the Buddha's light on his body became more intense. In the end, it was like a burning flame, and the dazzling Buddha's light filled the entire mansion.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The next moment, except for the one who was attacked, all the other children turned into black mist and exploded, and then were melted by the Buddha's light. The old teacher let out a scream and turned into an old fox!
"Damn it!"
He no longer looked like the elegant teacher he had been before, his eyes were extremely sinister, he stared at Wuchen, and roared: "Damn bald donkey, I'm going to kill you!"
"Om, well..."
Wuchen's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to recite the six-character mantra. The Buddha's light continued to shroud the old fox, causing the old fox to scream in agony, and finally completely melted into the Buddha's light!
Wow!
A token flew into Wuchen's hands, and then Wuchen clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Thank you all for the donation."
"As expected of Senior Yuan Nian's direct disciple!"
This scene made several people around them look solemn, including Lin Yu.
At the beginning, Wuchen's strength and talent were quite extraordinary, and after joining Yuan Nian's sect, his growth rate was obviously astonishing. With the means he just showed, his strength would not be weaker than Lin Yu.
This is a powerful ally, but at the same time, it is also a powerful competitor!
After getting the token, everyone continued to the next mansion. Shi Xuan, Lu Yingying, Ye Qingwei and others showed their methods and each seized a token.
In the end, a total of eight people in Lin Yu's small group received tokens. Except for Wuchen, the other two people joined halfway.
As for the remaining people, they accidentally died while breaking into the mansion. This is considered a normal thing. After all, this is a test and there cannot be no casualties.
After possessing the token, Lin Yu and others no longer delayed and immediately moved forward.
Under the influence of the token, they did not circle around again this time. Soon, a stone bridge appeared in front of them.
This stone bridge is about ten people wide and a thousand feet long. The stone bridge is shrouded in mist, blocking all soul sensing, and the visibility is only a few tens of meters.
"Let's go."
Without hesitation, Lin Yu and others stepped onto the stone bridge. The next moment, a strange wave enveloped everyone.
In just an instant, Lin Yu aged rapidly, with numerous wrinkles appearing on his skin and even dense age spots. It was as if he had entered the twilight years of his life in an instant.
Not only that, the divine power in his body was still fading rapidly. With just one breath, it had completely dissipated. Not even a trace of divine power remained, as if he had turned into an ordinary person!
"Um?"
Lin Yu frowned and couldn't help but look at the people around him. He saw that Wuchen and others were in even worse condition than him!
Large areas of Wuchen's skin fell off, and soon only a skeleton was left, while Shi Xuan's flesh and blood rotted away, emitting a monstrous stench.
The other two were even more miserable. One only had half of his body left, and that half of his body was constantly leaking pus. The other's head almost fell off, with only a trace of it still sticking to his neck.
In contrast, Lu Yingying and Jiang Lanyue were not affected at all. Lu Yingying only had some extra scales on her skin, while Jiang Lanyue's surface was shrouded in starlight, and no changes could be seen.
However, there is one thing that no one can avoid. Just like Lin Yu, all their magical powers have dissipated and they have completely turned into ordinary people.
"Does this mean we will reach the end of the stone bridge in this state?"
Shi Xuan's face looked ugly, and he had the urge to curse. The other people's faces didn't look much better either.
With their status, when would they be reduced to this? Those like Lin Yu and Wuchen were better off, but those with only half of their bodies left, their heads were about to fall off, and even walking was a problem!
"At this level, the test should be the character and will."
In contrast, Lin Yu's expression was quite calm. He shook his head and said, "Everyone is already here. Can we still retreat?"
After the words fell, he took the lead and walked forward.
After losing his divine power and falling into a state of aging, his pace naturally couldn't be faster. Compared with his normal speed, it was like crawling at a snail's pace.
At this speed, it would probably take at least several hours to walk the entire length of the stone bridge. However, Lin Yu didn't seem to care about this and had no intention of stopping at all.
