304 , Survival From Desperate Situation
"I didn't expect that you kid could come here."
After an unknown amount of time, a familiar old voice sounded above his head, and Chen Youcai shook his head and slowly opened his eyes.
There is a clean and flat blue brick floor under him, and the surroundings seem to be in a great hall, with pearls hanging high on the surrounding dragon pillars, emitting a faint soft light.
Chen Youcai looked up, and saw old Liutou standing not far away, nodding and smiling at himself.
And a few steps away, Lu Ningxiang stood up staggeringly, apparently just passed the second level of the heart-knocking trial.
"It's not easy, there are only about twenty of you left among hundreds of virtuous envoys."
Old Liu Tou sighed with emotion, motioning for everyone to stand up and gather around him.
"Old Liu, can I ask, where did those who failed the test go?"
Chen Youcai touched the clothes on his body, but they were still dry. Thinking about it, those torrents, water bubbles, and strange fish just now were all just like the first stage, but they were nothing more than extremely realistic illusions.
"They've all been sent out, don't worry about them."
Old Liu waved his hand, and then pointed to the two tall and closed stone gates in front of him: "The body of the first saint is behind the gate. If you want to inherit the saint's mantle, you have to pass through the three-life gate first."
After the words fell, a burly man stepped out from the crowd, it was Captain Long who had met once before.
He stepped forward with a sullen face and put his hands on the stone gate.
The next moment, Captain Long's expression changed wildly, and he stumbled back in embarrassment, bowing his head and not saying a word.
"What did you see?"
Old Liu Tou sighed, and comforted him patiently: "Don't worry, passing the first two tests is enough to prove your tenacity."
"I... saw that in my next life I would become a rich man, eat delicacies from mountains and seas, and be accompanied by beauties from all over the country day and night..."
Captain Long faltered and said with a blushing old face, which immediately caused the others to burst into laughter.
"Oh, so, you can only be called a good person, and you are far from the realm of a sage."
Old Liu smiled wryly and patted Captain Long on the shoulder, saying: "It's nothing, the state of mind of transcendence and sanctification is unique in a million. Maybe all of us present don't have this ability."
Hearing this, Captain Long looked relaxed, nodded, and calmly retreated behind Old Liu.
In the following time, the twenty or so virtuous envoys left in the arena stepped forward to accept the trial one by one, but without exception, they were defeated one after another.
Some people expect to have a beautiful company in the future, so they "see" their wives the moment they press the stone door.
There are also people who want to help their relatives and friends, so they "see" their relatives, all of them are dressed in gold and silver, and they are very rich.
There are even some people who want no more hunger in the world, so they "see" countless grains falling from the sky, flooding the world...
"Xiao Lu, I have already told your master that you are too obsessed, and you need to resolve the knot in your heart."
Finally, Lu Ningxiang also stepped forward to accept the trial. After a while, her eyes were full of murderous intent, and she slapped Shimen with a bang.
The force of the shock caused Lu Ningxiang to fly back backwards, but fortunately, Chen Youcai had quick eyesight and quick hands, and stabilized her, so that she didn't fall to the ground.
Old Liu Tou seemed to see through Lu Ningxiang's thoughts, shook his head with emotion, and then set his eyes on Chen Youcai.
Now everyone is wiped out, and only this little rookie with the strength of an intermediate merit messenger is left.
"...Then I will try too?"
Facing everyone's gaze, it was impossible for Chen Youcai to say that he was not nervous. He took a deep breath, and with the encouragement from Old Liu's eyes, he stood in front of the stone gate, then concentrated and meditated, closed his eyes and sensed .
"It's strange, it's really strange... Your request is too strange. You don't want money, you don't want beautiful women, and you don't want to help your relatives and friends..."
An old voice came to the eardrums, and Chen Youcai opened his eyes curiously, and couldn't help being shocked.
I saw an exaggeratedly burly old man squatting beside him, looking around with his chin propped up.
The old man looked sloppy, his long white hair was in a mess, like a chicken coop, he tied it together with a wooden hairpin, not to mention how annoying he looked.
"Little guy, what you think in your heart is to lead the whole village to get rich??"
The strange old man's eyes were playful, and he smiled strangely and encouraged him: "Why don't you change your hope, earning a lot of money, marrying a beautiful woman, or being famous all over the world is also very good!"
"..."
Chen Youcai stared at the person in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitched violently, and finally he couldn't help but asked tentatively, "You, are you the sage in the holy tomb?"
"Well, it's all from how many years ago, and there are several more behind, mine doesn't count, it doesn't count at all."
The strange old man waved his hand and continued to squat. He did not know when he had a small stick in his hand, and drew small circles on the corner of the wall, teasing a few lost ants.
"senior……"
Chen Youcai was shocked. No matter what, although this person looked like a beggar, he couldn't hold back his golden temperament!
"Fuck, that little bastard is here again. Oh, I'm too lazy to quarrel with him, so you bear it for me first!"
The strange old man suddenly turned his head to listen to something, then slapped his forehead, dropped the stick and ran away, Chen Youcai's eyes were straightened, and he was dumbfounded.
There was a roar in his mind, and the foreground quickly changed. When Chen Youcai took a closer look, he found that he was back in front of the two closed stone doors again.
The atmosphere in the hall became a bit depressing. Old Liu Tou guarded many virtuous envoys behind him, as if he was confronting people at a distance.
Looking past the figure of Old Liu Tou, Chen Youcai saw clearly the man standing in the middle of the hall, and his whole heart couldn't help but ruthlessly tugged.
Qi Laobing, that person is actually Qi Laobing!
Behind Qi Laobing stood Taoist Cidu, Ge Erwei and others, all smiling coldly at Old Liu.
"I knew you wouldn't be able to bear it, and wanted to come up with the idea of the Holy Tomb... Junior brother, don't hide, show yourself."
Ci Du and the others snorted coldly, but Old Liu remained silent with a livid face, but a figure slowly appeared in the void beside him, and it was the bald old Yao.
"Brother, does it have to be like this?"
The bald old Yao sighed with emotion, and from the corner of his eye, he glanced at the black mark on Qi Laobing's forehead, and couldn't help being surprised.
"You are not my uncle, who are you?"
"I'm here to subdue you, especially...Chen Youcai!"
Qi Laobing smiled, looked past the crowd, and landed on Chen Youcai.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect it, I have become an evil saint now! Squeezing you to death is as easy as crushing an ant!"
After laughing wildly, Qi Laobing's eyes were stern, and he said solemnly: "Except for my evil punishment, everyone else in this place is evil!"
As soon as the words fell, Old Liu, with a sullen face, suddenly opened the vajra umbrella and protected it over the heads of everyone.
Countless burning black karmic fires fell down and slapped on the surface of the Vajra umbrella like a violent storm. Old Liu gritted his teeth and struggled to hold on, but the umbrella surface that was originally indestructible had a few cracks now.
Blood streaked down Old Liu's facial features, Chen Youcai had never seen him forced into such a mess, and he felt a little panicked.
