Chapter 305 The Final Trial
"Huh?" Li Chuan originally thought that what he encountered was shocking enough, but he didn't expect what Wen Guying said to be even more shocking.
Wen Guying said: "I didn't notice it at first. I just felt that the time and space here are different. But for the cave sky illusion, the difference in time and space is nothing. Until just now, I was in Luo Nightmare Technique in the Snow In the middle, through dreams, I realized what was wrong here."
Then Wen Guying said something from the perspective of Taoism, and Luo Xueli also talked about his findings. Li Chuan listened. After a while, I stopped listening if I didn’t understand.
After they finished their discussion, Li Chuan suddenly realized why Lao Xiaokai returned to the past after passing the trial.
He asked aloud: "So the disciples of Shenxia returned to the past, not because Shenxia had any deep meaning, but simply because they were going retrograde?"
"That should be the case." Wen Guying said.
"But..." Li Chuan felt that his brain was not enough, and he said: "But reality has indeed changed...has changed, right?" He became a little unsure and said, "It's still a joke. What went wrong with his memory?”
“It has changed, but Tiansu’s power is also limited. He can only limit the behavior of the Shenxia disciples after they return to the past, and try to minimize the impact of their behavior. Wen Guying had obviously figured it out. He said, "And according to what Lao Xiaokai said, most people only went back to a few days ago. Only he, with the belief of revenge, tried his best to prolong the time. It’s just time.”
“That’s it.” Li Chuan drank the rest of the wine in one gulp. The mellow liquid suddenly burned after entering the abdomen. The flames spread throughout the body, burning away the coldness in every corner.
After coming back to his senses, Li Chuan only felt warm all over his body. He had other questions in his mind. He said, "What about Shenxia Island? It's just the island we saw. The Shenxia disciples will be in it." Yi Jushi often goes to the island, won't they go back to the past after they go out?"
"No, it should be normal there" Wen Guying said: "Look at those stone statues again, they won't. Repeating those actions over and over may serve as a fixed point."
He looked slightly startled and said, "Now that I think about it, what we thought was perfunctory is actually subtle."
He also drank all the wine in the cup, and then asked: "Junior Brother Guan, how is he?"
Li Chuan did not answer Wen Guying's question, but simply stated what he saw and heard. Read it again.
Wen Guying nodded and said, "I understand."
"Are you going to see him?" Li Chuan asked.
Wen Guying shook his head and said: "The reason why you can come back safely is because you have no cultivation. I'm going. Faced with the temptation of becoming an immortal instantly, I'm not sure what will happen. You can't wait for me Come out, I am Wen Guying."
When Luo Xueli heard what Wen Guying said, he also agreed: "It is true." Then he said: "We are almost done resting here, ahead. The gap is now passable. Let’s go through it now while there are no other changes here.”
Everyone agreed.
Wen Guying put away the drinking utensils, Li Chuan adjusted his cloak, and Gong Er and Pang San also hung it on Luo Xueli's shoulders again.
The ground washed away by the lake was a little muddy and slightly cold, but it was still much easier to walk than before. Soon, they came to the shimmering strip of decay and saw the road in the crack.
Wen Guying looked inside and said, "You can enter." After that, he climbed directly onto the flash belt and leaned in, and the others followed him into the crack. .
Li Chuan supported the jade walls on both sides with both hands and moved downward until his feet touched the ground. After standing firm, his eyes had adapted to the surrounding light, and he discovered that the light here was coming from the jade wall.
After Wen Guying saw them all coming down, he continued walking forward. After walking forward for about ten steps, he came to a fork in the road. After thinking for a moment, he made some calculations and chose the path on the left. Not long after walking, he came to a fork in the road again, and he chose the left again.
Li Chuan found that as they went deeper, the road became narrower and narrower. After reaching a fork in the road, he had to shrink his body to walk through the two paths ahead.
They are like insects crawling along the veins of leaves.
“We’re almost there.” Luo Xueli said. Li Chuan nodded and continued walking forward. The back of Wen Guying not far away is still as relaxed and unrestrained as before.
There was no more fork in the road ahead, and the road did not become narrower again until we reached the end of the road.
The space at the end is wider, allowing three people to stand side by side. A shrine of a hero is parked not far ahead. The hero sat in it with a solemn expression.
Li Chuan stared at the statue of Shenxia and said, "Another road?"
"It should be." Wen Guying confirmed Li Chuan's guess.
"How about borrowing a light?" Li Chuan said, looking at Wen Guying's sword.
“Wait a minute, I thought of what Lao Xiaokai said,” Wen Guying said: “At that time, he said that after teleporting to the lakeside pavilion, there was also a shrine in the pavilion, and then the trial started. ”
"You mean, this shrine is the same as the shrine in the pavilion near the lake?" Li Chuan asked.
"It's possible," Wen Guying pondered for a moment and said, "This may be the real trial left by the hero."
"Is there another trial?" Li Chuan was a little puzzled.
Wen Guying said his guess and said: "Looking at it now, Shenxia's layout may be very simple. When mortals come, they will inherit some medicine and weapon refining and so on. After they go out, Shenxia will The extraordinary will be known to the outside world and attract monks to investigate. Then when the monks come, they will ascend to immortality within a hundred years and attract more monks."
After Wen Guying finished speaking. , Luo Xueli added: "If the Shenxia Sect hadn't monopolized the Shenxia Island for more than three hundred years, maybe there would have been strange ghosts in this world who had become immortals long ago."
"The Shenxia won't care whether it's three hundred years, three thousand years, or thirty thousand years." Wen Guying said, "After all, the establishment of the Shenxia temple is the end, and its starting point is an unknown number of years later. As long as the Shenxia Temple stands there, there will always be mortals and monks coming to investigate, aren’t we?”
“Same,” Luo Xueli said.
“So,” Wen Guying’s eyes turned to the shrine again, he said, “Who are the trials here prepared for?”
“Is it an immortal?” Gong Er ask.
“Perhaps.” Wen Guying said, “Even immortals would be interested in the secrets of the ancient immortal Tiansu. And there is another possibility. It is prepared for the successors of the Classic of Patterns. .”
The red gem shone brightly, and Wen Guying said: "Brother Li, please lead the way."
Li Chuan did not hesitate.
When we got here, we couldn’t stop.
He looked at the shrine attentively, and sure enough he saw a halo of light behind the shrine with crimson runes flowing. He looked intently, and soon, golden dots and horizontal lines spread out in the endless void.
He saw the road and crossed it.
This time he arrived directly into a bright stone hall. In the middle of the stone hall was a pillar of light. Countless mysterious runes flowed in the pillar of light, and a radiant butterfly was imprisoned.
Li Chuan recognized it as a butterfly spirit, a butterfly spirit that had completely broken out of its cocoon.
