When I was a Taoist

Chapter 507 Clues

After I sent one-tenth of the reward to the old man, the latter nodded in satisfaction and said, "Let's find a place to rest for the night, and then set off on the road tomorrow. There are some things you must understand before you leave. Otherwise, you will suffer a loss before reaching Hell City."

Since I chose to hire this strange old man as my guide, everything should naturally follow his arrangement.After we stayed in a star-rated hotel, the old man put on a solemn look and introduced himself first: "You can call me Pace from now on, I also know your name, Dazhi, from Huaxia Kingdom My Dragon City is the president of the branch of the Daoist Society."

"How do you know this?" I was slightly taken aback. Could it be that this old man knew my identity a long time ago and came here purposely to block me?If this is the case, then I have to doubt Pace's identity.

"Divination is equivalent to what you call fortune-telling in the east." Pace smiled slightly, and then waved his withered palm in front of me.A ray of light flashed by, and a light blue crystal ball appeared out of thin air in his palm, emitting a faint light.

Pace put the crystal ball on the table and asked: "I know that your fortune-telling in the East is very accurate, but our divination level is not weak. Little guy, do you want to come and calculate your own destiny? Seeing as you hired me For the sake of being a guide, this time it's free."

If you don't use anything that's free, you'd be a fool.And I was also very curious about Western crystal ball divination, so I put my palm on the crystal ball lightly and asked, "What should I do next?"

"Don't think about anything, empty your soul."

After hearing Pace's words, I took a deep breath and threw away all the distracting thoughts in my mind, just quietly watching the lingering light in the crystal ball.Pace also put his palm on the crystal ball, while silently chanting complicated spells.After a few minutes, a raging flame suddenly ignited in the crystal ball, and I seemed to feel the hot temperature inside.Immediately afterwards, clusters of black mist sprang out around Lie Yan, and the two forces continued to merge. Finally, the flame turned dark and then slowly extinguished, and the crystal ball returned to its original shape.

Pace took his hand off the crystal ball, frowned and stared at me for a long time, which made me feel hairy, and couldn't help asking: "Pace, why did the crystal ball change like that just now, what is my fate? What is it?"

"Amazing, amazing."

Pace sighed, and said slowly: "Your origin is a mystery, and your whereabouts are also a mystery, and I can't get a glimpse of it with my ability. There are different forces hidden in your body, and your success or failure depends entirely on it." Control these two forces. And your ending is destined to be lonely, and neither the person you love nor the person who loves you will have a good result. I have lived for more than 100 years, and I have counted the fate of countless heavenly favored children, but I have never I have never seen such a strange fate."

Pace's results are similar to what Mr. Destiny said at the time. They all calculate that I will only be alone in my life, and the future will be a mystery.At the beginning, I might feel sad and terrified, but now I see it clearly, I just smiled lightly, and said: "Pace, my destiny can only be controlled by myself. I am a human being, and I also have emotions. If God wants to deprive me of my feelings, so I can only destroy it."

Pace just glanced at me, didn't say anything, and then changed the topic: "There are only three days until the official start of the supernatural contest, and it takes about two days to get to Hell City from here. Within a few days, firmly remember the rules of the supernatural contest."

Hearing this, I sat upright, and the following are the most important places, and I must not be negligent.Seeing my seriousness, Pace nodded with satisfaction, and continued to introduce: "The supernatural competition lasts for one month from the beginning to the end, and it is divided into three tests. The first day is the easiest test, mainly testing your psychic skills. Ability, which is what you Taoists call spiritual perception. If you don’t have spiritual perception, you don’t even have the ability to see the devil, let alone catch ghosts.”

As soon as I heard it, I was immediately happy. In terms of spiritual perception, I can't even praise Gao Liang.Although she is not as enchanting as an innate psychic like Tingting, but in terms of talent, she ranks first in the entire Huaxia Kingdom.Compared with spiritual talent, I am only stronger than Shangguanmu.This first test, I'm pretty sure.

"Don't get complacent too early, I haven't said the rules of the game yet."

Pace glanced at me and said, "I know you have a strong spiritual sense. I don't think many of the contestants this time can match you. It's just that the test method is a bit special, so you must not be careless. There is a lava cave in Hell City. You must stay in the magma for a while. Don’t worry, the lava cave here is a bit special. As long as the spiritual sense is stronger, a tougher protective layer will be formed to protect you. If you When your heart is flustered or your strength is exhausted, the protective layer will disappear, and then you may not even have ashes left."

When I heard it, I was stunned and stunned. This is not a competition, it's clearly a desperate effort.If there are people with unstable minds who are distracted because of momentary fear, wouldn't they be dead.

"It's unbelievable, isn't it? But this is already a tradition. Since it is a supernatural contest, the ones who stand out must be top-notch geniuses in all aspects. Only in this desperate situation can everyone's potential be highlighted."

Seeing my shocked expression, Pace smiled and said, "One tenth of the people will be eliminated in this round. If the number of people eliminated reaches the requirement, those who pass can choose to leave immediately or continue to persist. The one who lasts the longest will get the upper hand in the second test."

I nodded and asked curiously: "Then who has reported so many supernatural contests, who has persisted the longest, and how long has he persisted?"

Pace stroked his sloppy white beard, and said in a deep voice: "Until now, Earl Blue from the West has persisted the longest, and he has lasted for thirty hours. He is a strong enemy for you. You must pay more attention."

I silently memorized the name, and then motioned Pace to continue.The latter nodded and said: "After the first test is over, the second test will start after a rest day. This time, the organizer will distribute many tasks to you, and every three people will be randomly assigned to a group to perform the same task. But after the task is over, only at most two people can get the specified items and advance. If none of them get it or all die, then the people in this group are considered to have failed. I think you should hear the clues Alright."
