Text-savvy, explore the copy

Chapter 94 Expelled from the Mountain

The four of them stood together, behind the people who had passed the customs.

They just asked each other questions and stood silently, waiting for the old man in front to say something.

"Brother, congratulations. We will have a lot of exchanges and walks after we go down." A man who passed the customs held a folding fan and said with a smile as he cupped his hands towards Zhuang Cai and others.

Zhuang Cai also smiled and nodded: "It should be."

"We are all people with wonderful magic. We should meet at a certain place from time to time, everyone." A tall and handsome man said to everyone in the same way.

This person should be the person with the highest status among everyone.

It is said that he is the son of the prime minister of a certain country.

"Just follow Brother Li's words."

"That's how it should be."

"Good thing..."

The rest spoke up.

It can be seen that since they released this copy, their relationship with each other has become much better than before. I don’t know if it’s because of the reasons in the dungeon, or because they’re about to get the magical method after completing the level.

Zhuang Cai and the others only kept smiling on the surface, not knowing what they were thinking in their hearts.

It seemed that they were almost here. The old man brushed his long beard and waved his hand, looking at them with a smile.

And everyone silently closed their mouths and looked at him.

Waiting for his speech.

"Now that you have passed the trial twice, you can obtain the magic method. Please rest here for another night today."

Everyone looked at each other and naturally did not reject the old man's words and nodded.

Although I accepted another night's rest, after all, the sun was about to set.

If we were to go down the mountain from now on, we would have to walk a whole night based on the distance we had gone up the mountain before.

"Can you let us know if there is any magic method?" A man couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, the old god just laughed twice: "No need to pay attention, the magic will show itself.

You just need to wait patiently, hahaha. "

Then he said nothing more, and the others could only nod and say nothing more.

Everyone followed the old man back to the room where he had rested.

This room was on the outermost side of the square, not far from them.

But this time, everyone was in a happy mood and had comfortable expressions.

We chatted like this for a long time.

Until they returned to the room, these people were still chatting, making the whole room very noisy, but basically no one paid attention because everyone was talking and joking.

Until now, the four of them, Zhuang Cai, were sitting by the bed as if chatting, talking about other things.

"Have all your talismans been used up?" Zhuang Cai asked ambiguously.

The three of them looked at each other and nodded.

Seeing this answer, Zhuang Cai nodded, probably knowing something.

It seems that the talisman was not randomly placed in the first trial.

"Tell me about your experience."

Nan Subei said first: "I am in the ice and snow, there is nothing around me, so just let me stay there and keep skating and walking.

Until the end, I didn’t know where I was, or that I had already been frozen into ice.

It wasn't until I started to reminisce at the end that I seemed to wake up from my confusion. I felt the sting of my spirit, and I held the spell against my head. "

When I heard this, it was almost the same as my own experience, except that the place and scope of everyone's experience were different.

But the intention is the same, to wear down their will, make them numb and make them feel pain.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Cai looked at Taoist Tian and Wu Nian again.

The two also talked about their experiences in this trial respectively.

The south and north of Jiangsu are a land of ice and snow, with no direction and aimless wandering.

Taoist priest Tian is in the desert, amidst the wind and sand, shielding himself from the wind while moving forward.

Wu Nian is in a maze, surrounded by winding passages that can only go forward or backward, and there is infinite confusion that branches inside.

These scenes and Zhuang Cai's experience prove the purpose of this copy.

At its most superficial level.

It seems as if they are tempering their will and patience, just to test their character.

"This trial is very weird. I can't tell what's wrong with it, but it's just not right." Taoist Master Tian said with a frown.

Wu Nian also put his hands together and nodded slightly, agreeing with this statement.

Because it is obvious that the feeling of this trial has gone beyond the so-called tempering, especially in the last scene. It is obvious that the thing wants to invade their bodies and infect their spirits, rather than Hone them.

Nan Subei said: "At first, I thought it was a test to temper our will. After all, it seems normal, doesn't it.

But in the end, there was finally a little energy in the numbness, and the spell used later came out.

What if not? What would happen without that spell? "

Having said this, he suddenly whispered: "No one else has..."

Zhuang Cai, who came out first among the three, saw more, and because of his own energy and spirit in the dungeon, he woke up early. They were not as numb as the three of them, and the pain came to an end.

When I started to recall the pain, I woke up slightly for some reason, and forced myself to use the charm to resist the difference. He experienced more, saw more, and thought more.

Rather than tempering their mental state, I suspect that the numbness in front of them is sapping their spirit.

Let them get used to pain and let the physical pain be unforgettable.

The last recollection is just to make them suffer mentally to meet the tough conditions both inside and outside.

And that slight murmur is not normal no matter how you think about it.

When he thought of pain, Zhuang Cai immediately thought of the first trial they had experienced.

What is the space of the first trial?

It's all pain.

This trial space is full of pain, and the painful atmosphere and wailing sounds can be truly felt as long as Zhuang Cai's spirit spreads there and meditates for a while.

And unlike the second trial, you can clearly feel that it is a trial space that is more spiritual and illusory than an illusion.

Your body inside is the reflection of your spirit, and the so-called consumption of flesh and blood is just consumption of your own spirit.

The space of the first trial seemed real, or maybe it was real.

Those monsters can also be said to be extremely painful.

The pain was so painful that the facial features were twisted and the flesh was melted.

And this second copy seemed to want them to feel pain and make them accept the pain.

No matter how you think about it, this pain doesn't seem like a positive thing. If it were a trial, it wouldn't be like the second time, like taking away the body, right?

Thinking of this, Zhuang Cai couldn't help but look at the people on the bed in this room. The whole space was a little noisy because everyone was talking to each other.

Qi Rongrong couldn't see any flaws at all. It seemed to be no different from yesterday, but it was just because they were in a better mood today and couldn't feel the so-called pain.

After all, they have passed two trials and have obtained the magic method. Now it is normal to talk excitedly.

But when he looked at them, Zhuang Cai felt something was abnormal.

Now this feeling is slowly fading, and getting weaker and weaker, but at the moment when Zhuang Cai just came out, especially when his spirit was radiating and before he could fully recover, this feeling was so strong.

There is reason to suspect that their copies are the same as Zhuang Cai and others, except that their minds have been completely occupied by the physical and mental pain, and they have become no longer themselves.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Cai suddenly turned to look at Wu Nian.

The four of them were still a little silent at this time, because they all noticed something was wrong, but they found so little that they didn't know where to start from the beginning.

I don't know where to sort out my thoughts.

And this was obviously not a place to talk, and it was impossible for Zhuang Cai to express his suspicions, because at least it sounded like they were still talking about the situation in the trial.

In addition, they have never been very gregarious, so the people around them did not communicate with them too much.

But it is still easy to listen carefully to what they are saying.

At this time, Zhuang Cai sat down slightly, approached Zhi Wu Nian, and put his hand on his shoulder.

Like brothers, Zhuang Cai lowered his head and whispered.

"Master, use your Buddha's light to check these people later.

Just find anyone, it must be secretive enough. "

The best way to judge whether these people have problems is to enlighten themselves to the light of the Buddha.

It has been fully demonstrated in the first copy.

When Wu Nian heard this, he nodded slightly.

Everyone was like this. After chatting casually for a while, Wu Nian suddenly turned around and went to his bed.

Then he smiled and chatted with the rude-looking strong man next to him. While chatting happily, the strong man smiled and reached out to pat Wu Nian on the shoulder.

Then he waved his hand as if he had touched something, and looked at his palm.

After talking for a while, he shook his head in confusion, and then continued talking to Wu Nian.

Everyone just watched from time to time, and it took a while before Wu Nian came back.

But his expression was very serious.

"I used Buddha's light to surround my body, but he felt it was hot..."

The simple words clearly expressed his meaning.

There's just something wrong with these people.

At least not before.

When Taoist Master Tian heard this, he helplessly held his forehead and said, "I knew there was something wrong with this copy."

At least before the second trial, they basically had no doubts or questions.

Because of what I have seen and heard along the way and the surrounding environment, I have no intention of telling them anymore. The task of this copy is to pass the trial.

Then after completing the level, you will be eligible to exchange for more things and get a better score.

At this time, Nan Subei said: "So we have unlocked the secret?"

It's possible, but it's also possible that it's the main line for clearing the dungeon.

At this time, white porridge appeared beside everyone's bed.

Seeing the appearance of the white porridge, everyone knew it was time to eat.

They all picked up the porridge.

The strong man next to their bed looked at the four of them and couldn't help but said: "This white porridge should be delicious? Don't you want to eat it?"

Zhuang Cai and others smiled and took the porridge in their hands.

Nan Subei looked at the porridge in his hand and couldn't help but said: "I don't know if there is anything wrong with this porridge for a while."

However, Taoist Tian started to eat with peace of mind. He seemed not to be afraid of any problems in this regard. While eating, he said: "I have eaten it several times. If there were any problems, they would have already happened. It's delicious."

That seems to be quite right.

But Zhuang Cai was thinking of other things.

Everyone ate the porridge one after another, empty bowls were placed beside the bed, and the candlelight around them began to extinguish.

Amidst the faint chatter, the people lying on the bed began to fall asleep one by one.

There was no snoring tonight, everyone seemed to be sleeping quietly.

The four of them took turns to keep vigil until the early morning of the second day, when the sun shone into the room, and everyone woke up one after another.

"Wonderful method, that's what it is." The young man next to the bed of Zhuang Cai and others laughed.

He stretched out his palm and a small emerald grass grew out of his palm, then disappeared.

Except for him, everyone else is showing off the wonderful skills they have obtained.

It can be said that it is extremely joyful.

The four people who woke up looked at each other. They didn't know what kind of magic they had obtained.

"The wonderful method appeared spontaneously. It turned out that it was taught in a dream."

These people smiled happily while talking about the experiences they had in their dreams last night.

Seeing the situation here, Zhuang Cai stretched out his hand and waved a talisman to spin around himself, pretending that he also seemed to have a wonderful magic.

The other three followed suit.

They themselves have special abilities, and it seems perfectly normal to disguise them as magical powers.

It wasn't until these people finished getting excited that the bells rang outside.

Everyone went out one after another and stood in front of the old man on the square.

He looked at everyone with a smile and said: "Now that you have obtained the wonderful method, you can go down the mountain."

These people handed over their hands one after another, thanked the old man, and then walked down the mountain together.

Only the four of them, Zhuang Cai, stayed where they were.

Zhuang Cai just frowned and looked at the backs of those people leaving.

Sure enough, it was different. He clearly remembered that what one or two of them wanted was not the magic method at all. What they wanted was to stay on Wenwen Mountain and learn the method of immortals becoming gods.

What we want is to ask for immortality, not these magical things that are like superpowers.

What I wanted before was to stay on the Dao Dao Peak and continue to study, to learn to exist like the gods before.

What I want is to join Daofeng.

But now?

No one asked any questions and they just walked straight on. Zhuang Cai didn't think they had given up. This was their only chance.

And still in such a society.

"Wait for the four of you and go down the mountain quickly."

The old man suddenly frowned and said.

Hearing this, Zhuang Cai smiled and cupped his hands in fear: "Sorry, old god, I'm in a trance, so I'll go down now."

As he said that, he led the four of them down the hill quickly.

The old man just looked at the backs of the four people with expressionless faces, not knowing what he was thinking.

It wasn't until the top of the mountain was out of sight that Nan Subei quickly came to Zhuang Cai's side and asked, "Brother, are we leaving like this?"

It was obvious that there was a big problem on the mountain, and they did not appear in the pure white room immediately.

It means they haven't cleared the level yet.

"What else? We can't just stay on the mountain and wait for death."

The four of them walked down the mountain like this.

But now they have indeed encountered a problem, and the way forward for the entire copy is stuck.

After all, they already knew there was a problem on the mountain, but with their little arms and legs, they obviously couldn't survive on the mountain, let alone find out what the problem was.

But if we go to the bottom of the mountain, wouldn’t it be useless?

And now they are not allowed to enter the pure white room. They have not cleared the level yet, but they no longer know how to proceed.

At this time, Taoist Master Tian looked at the people in front of him who were going down the mountain with them. What were they chatting about in twos and threes?

Suddenly a plan came to his mind and he said: "What do you think we arrest someone?"

Upon hearing this, the three of them stopped and stared at him.

“Since there must be something wrong with these people, why don’t we catch one and check what kind of problem he has?

Before we asked them on the mountain what happened to the second copy, they were obviously lying to us.

Everyone's experience was actually the same, but the four of us knew that our experiences were different, and they still said that they felt like they had survived the attack. "

"Kidnapping one?" Nan Subei couldn't help but murmured.

"Is there something wrong?"

After all, they had never thought about it before. Suddenly they had such an idea, and it seemed feasible after that. They didn't know what to do for a while.

Zhuang Cai frowned, then nodded.

"Okay, let's tie one up."

This is already a dungeon, but their experiences in reality have kept them from thinking too much about outrageous operations in the dungeon.

After all, even if you think that the copy is like a game world, you have to admit that there is almost no difference between it and the real one.

It makes people get involved in it involuntarily, instead of having the indifferent mentality like playing a game.

Hearing that Zhuang Cai had made his decision, the three of them nodded.

Wu Nian then thought for a while and said: "Catch that strong man. He is a bandit at the foot of the mountain. He is not a good person. Amitabha."

Now that Wu Nian has decided on the goal, the three of them naturally nodded in agreement.

There is no choice here. Since everyone has problems, just catch one of them.

Everyone quickened their pace and soon found the strong man, who was chatting with several people.

Zhuang Cai walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

Started chatting happily with him.

The bandit was naturally very happy when he saw that the most powerful Zhuang Cai and the others were willing to communicate with him.

Involuntarily, I slowed down and chatted with them.

With several people talking about the topic intentionally or unintentionally, the conversation became more and more enjoyable, and they couldn't help but fall to the bottom of the whole team.

It seems the time is almost here.

Wu Nian, who was walking behind him, flashed Buddha's light on his hand and struck the bandit's neck directly with his sword palm.

His eyes went dark and he fell to the ground. Zhuang Cai helped him up before he fell. Everyone looked at each other, jumped off the mountain road and slipped into the nearby woods.
