Wandao long distance

Chapter 503 Artificial Screening

Luofu Mountain, in Zhuming Cave.

In the core area, on a fairy mountain, a small labyrinth-like mechanism is running, controlling the traps and 'tests' outside.

And beside all this, swaying an orchid.

The leaves are short and soft, with one stalk and one flower. The flowers are like jade petals, with six petals and three stamens.

As the breeze passes by, its fragrance is amiable outside, especially secluded.

Li Qi took a deep breath, feeling relaxed and happy. It was said in the book that orchids are the ancestors of incense and a symbol of virtue.

There is a saying: Lan Zhi is not obsessed but not fragrant. When traveling with a gentleman, it is like entering Lan Zhi's room. If you don't hear it for a long time, you will melt with it.

Grandma Lan, I think she must be a gentle and elegant senior, like a gentleman.

The two hurried forward, and Shen Shuibi hurriedly said to Lan Hua: "Grandma Lan, Granny Lan! You—"

In the middle of her speech, she suddenly stopped.

Li Qi's expression was suddenly a little bit wrong, and he chose to stand aside.

As mentioned earlier, this orchid is still alive.

But... no feeling of 'alive'.

His sanity was gone, and only his body was left, swaying, as if... the 'prize' for breaking through that maze.

This is a real adventure.

One, fourth-grade orchid!

What happened here is not difficult for the two to understand.

Li Qi patted Shen Shuibi on the shoulder, and said: "It looks like... Senior Lan protected his own vitality before he died, knowing that his soul would not be alive for long, he used his last strength to set up these adventures, and even spread them to the outside world Cultivation method."

"So... those fluctuations are temptations. She threw away Luofu Mountain's inheritance at the last moment, hoping that Luofu Mountain can find a qualified successor in the future."

That's right, the successor, Granny Lan, at the last moment, thought of the inheritance of Luofu Mountain, under the sword of the Emperor, she probably thought she was the only survivor.

Therefore, she finally designed this maze and guided this series of difficult problems. Everything outside is a trap set up by her. Those thousands of people, and even countless people who may come in the future, are her selection of successors. 'Difficulties'.

The exercises she spread will attract these people to 'break through'. All the items on her body, such as magic weapons, pills, and spiritual objects, are already placed here, and even her own body is placed here.

Those nine-rank, eight-rank and seven-rank things outside are just bait randomly distributed to attract those low-ranks to come to pass through the level. Although there are rewards for breaking through the level, they are just miscellaneous items.

The real treasure, the real inheritance of Luofu Mountain, needs to go through all the assessments, and finally come here in Zhu Mingdong.

As long as one person passes the test, he will get all the inheritance belonging to a fourth-rank power, even including her body.

The value of this fourth-rank orchid is self-evident, probably far exceeding that of a fourth-rank world.

Then, what happened to Zhang Xin can be deduced logically.

Zhang Xin was the person who accidentally picked up the inheritance, and when he came to this place, he wanted to go in and get in touch with the real inheritance and get the treasure inside.

But the interior of Luofu Mountain is too dangerous. Without the suppression of Luofu Mountain, the gates of ghosts are wide open, and ghosts are rampant all around. relation.

At this time, I happened to meet Li Qi and the others, so taking this opportunity, Zhang Xin used the banner of Luofu Mountain and added benefits to tease the people outside, and began to entangle their hands, rushing towards the inside.

The result is also obvious, they successfully rushed inside, triggered the maze, and started the 'challenge'.

If someone succeeds, then... this person will become a direct disciple of Luofu Mountain and a direct descendant of Granny Lan.

"This is Granny Lan's wish, so let's do it." Shen Shuibi shook his head: "Li Qi, how about staying here for a while? I want to see how many of the thousands of people outside can break in. "

"It's easy to say, then I'll deal with the outside affairs first, as for the clearance and assessment, I'll leave it to you to guard here." Li Qi nodded, and he didn't know what to say at the moment.

Facing the remains and last wishes of a senior, maybe it is the best way to deal with it honestly and wait for the dust to settle.

Li Qi left silently, he knew that he was useless here, let the rabbit be quiet.

As for him, go out first and finish the chores. After finishing, the rabbit should calm down, and then talk about comforting things. That's the best.

Li Qi left here, went outside, and pulled the old horse to continue searching for the remaining materials, such as spiritual herbs.

And Shen Shuibi sat cross-legged on the fairy mountain here, looking at the scene in the mini maze, the things outside had been reflected here.

Here, you can clearly see the performance of the little Taoist priests outside.

There have been casualties, but not many. Granny Lan's heart is not devouring, but... After all, no one controls the difficulty, so casualties are inevitable.

However, there are also many people who have benefited a lot, and some even broke through on the spot.

Some of those magic weapons and elixir were also taken away.

then……

Many Taoist priests are almost crazy.

After two or three days, they began to form cliques and fight against each other. Each of them split into different forces and gathered together with different Yangshen real people as the core. Lingbao was in his arms.

Although there were only a few thousand people, there were several 'wars'.

Their Dao Xin, in these things, produced confusion.

These people, have they ever seen a spirit treasure with such a high density?And there are many seventh grades among them, you only need to go through the barriers and pass the test of the ruins to get them.

As for how to keep it after getting it, that is their own problem.

In just three days, more people died at the hands of their own people than the ruins, and many more.

At most, dozens of people were accidentally killed in the ruins, and the thousands of people who were killed or injured were all done by Taoist priests themselves.

Ouyang Dongsheng and Liu Dewang even turned against each other directly. The two fought over the seven seventh-rank magic weapons, resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries. In the end, they had to find another one and were forced to share it equally.

Under such circumstances, the old Taoist had to hide. He didn't want to get involved in these things, and he didn't want to take risks. He was the only one who was besieged, so he probably wouldn't have a chance to go back to see his apprentice.

So he found a place and honestly acted like a turtle.

After all, he is also an eighth-rank, and other people dare not do anything to him, and they don't want to provoke him, lest the old Taoist priest join other people's power, so they just let it go.

However, he was still a practitioner after all, and he unexpectedly discovered that there was a puzzle in the place where he hid, which aroused his nature.

Anyway, being idle is idle, so he solved the puzzle while hiding.

As for Zhang Xin.

He is the only one here who understands the true purpose of this ruin.

Therefore, he didn't engage in meaningless scrambles, because he knew that these were just petty profits, the sporadic garbage next to the real big opportunity, and just the smell from a piece of meat.

Just some scents can drive these people so crazy, it's really... I don't know much.

Therefore, he didn't care about other people's fights, pretended that he didn't have any intention of snatching, and hid like the old Taoist priest. The difference was that the old Taoist priest really shrank his head, but he was wandering around, looking for the real opportunity.

Shen Shuibi just sat there, watching them quietly.

These people are too ordinary. In her opinion, there is no candidate who can be the successor of Luofu Mountain.

Not to mention that he has the same extraordinary talent in cultivation as Li Qi, and he is not even good at being a human being.

However, this should only be the first batch, right?

Or...not the first batch?

The screening mechanism set up by the fourth rank before his death should ensure that there will be a steady stream of people coming to join this screening.

Granny Lan is really afraid that Luofu Mountain's inheritance will disappear. She probably wouldn't do this kind of thing before. In Shen Shuibi's memory, Granny Lan has always been a gentle and kind person.

"Don't worry, Granny Lan, you don't have to worry, Luofu Mountain is not destroyed, your empress is not dead, everything has a chance to start again..." She sat next to Lanhua and said to Lanhua.

Although he knew that the other party couldn't hear it, it was for himself.

only……

Does it really exist?

I'm afraid it's gone, the moment he accepted Li Qi's proposal, it meant that Luofu Mountain's great opportunity was handed over, and in exchange for a chance to survive.

The sun and the moon are true lead tripods, and the road has been broken.

His way ends here.

For a practitioner, there is no more painful thing than this. Your path, the truth you have pursued all your life, and the ultimate goal you have spent countless hours exploring, are smashed by people, and you will never be able to see it again in this life.

How desperate is this?

It's like telling a physicist that physics doesn't exist. For a person who pursues truth all his life, all his dreams and passions will be extinguished.

This is especially painful for the immortals.

Longevity, why do you want to live forever?

It’s not that you’re afraid of death, but you use your limited life to pursue the Tao, and you’ll never be able to pursue it. Therefore, you want to live long, to prolong your own life, and to use your endless life to pursue the end of the Tao endlessly until you reach the end. .

The road is broken, so what is the meaning of this long life?All that is left is pain, and endless life is no longer an advantage, but a torture.

Shen Shuibi knows that the afflictions of all living beings are nothing more than getting what they ask for, being greedy but incompetent, loving but fruitless, living with confusion, and chasing ignorance. This is even the foundation of affliction demons.

If life wants to survive, it must have its own pursuit. A life without pursuit is just suffering.

However, only the lowest level of beings will pursue material desires, and pursue food, clothing, warmth and reproduction.

Going further up, life has no thoughts about material desires, and what it pursues is vanity, sense of identity, and status in the hearts of others, wanting to be famous in history.

Going forward, this kind of life already feels that even if it is famous in history, what is the use?They want to realize their ambitions, they want to establish a certain system, they want to write a great book, they want to go beyond their own limits, this is their goal, what they are after is self-realization.

Further up is the Taoist.

The so-called self-realization is nothing but self-satisfaction, and the true seeker seeks nothing but the ultimate truth, the foundation of all.

To cut off the way is to tell them that the "truth" will always close the door to you, and your future life will never reach the greatest goal.

This is the cruelest 'ask for nothing'.

How many people whose paths have been cut off have their Dao hearts collapsed, invaded by vexed demons, and finally possessed by demons?
The pillar of Luofu Mountain, the Sun and Moon True Leading Ding, is about to face such a future.

She said a chance to do it all over again...

In the future, is it possible for a first-class product to appear in Luofu Mountain?

Shen Shuibi can't see such a future, the opportunity of Yipin Dao, the heavens and myriad worlds... The only known one is the one in the hands of the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron, the others have been used up, some have become real first-rank, and there are others. However, the powerful person in the past died and disappeared together with the opportunity, and was annihilated together.

Yes, who said that if you have a great opportunity, you will definitely be promoted?

Dreaming, the great opportunity is just giving you a chance to try, if you fail... you will bear the consequences.

So, after Shen Shuibi was silent for a while, she chose to change her words——

"Grandma Lan, I was wrong just now. It's not that we can go back, but...we can continue to go on, just like you are desperately trying to leave a legacy. Since we are not destroyed, Luofu Mountain will continue to pass on. There will be someone who will come to the end of the way, although the way to be a teacher is cut off, but he is still a second rank, and he can hold up a piece of the sky, as long as the sky has not collapsed and there are still people alive, then there will always be people who continue to walk."

She said this to Lan Hua.

That being the case, then there is only way to go.

"However, I still can't keep you here, Granny Lan, but I will help you perfect these methods you left behind, so that you will find a suitable successor one day."

Shen Shuibi said, and began to arrange the remaining methods.

Reinforce the labyrinth, add looping spells, add new means, place new prizes, and improve the logic of prize distribution.

Even, Shen Shuibi took out her own alchemy furnace, the 'three-five furnace' that helped her and Li Qi out of danger several times, and then stamped a set of seals on it.

This is a set of alchemy methods. After a while, when Li Qi comes, let Li Qi use the method of magic weapon assembly line and witchcraft silkworm to set up an automatic alchemy mechanism here to supplement the consumed prizes.

She doesn't know this, so she can only give it to Li Qi.

As for the raw materials for alchemy...

Those who died in this maze assessment mechanism should be good raw materials, so a corresponding collection device must be made...

Shen Shuibi is transforming the labyrinth, planning to extend the life of the labyrinth to more than 400 years.

At this time, you should be able to find a suitable successor, right?
After doing this, Shen Shuibi left another paragraph, telling about Granny Lan, for the final winner.

It's been five days since all of this was over.

At this time, Li Qi also came back.

It's time to go back to Wushen Mountain.
