Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 602 The Tower of Trials
"Oh, do you have a connection?"

Leng Xi stood still and glanced suspiciously at Su Yanmo.Since he heard everything, he didn't have to go around much.

Su Yanmo smiled skillfully.After listening to the conversation just now, he remembered that Leng Xi used to be a vagrant who had problems with food and clothing every day, and Master adopted him.Although his life was still poor, he was poor and determined, and he was extraordinarily diligent and motivated. This was also regarded as an inspirational model by the master, and he repeatedly preached to his disciples.

But Su Yanmo could see clearly that for these poor people, no cultivation path was as important as getting them out of poverty as soon as possible.Leng Xi wanted to enter the Tiangong Gate wholeheartedly, but only hoped to live a life of "superior man".In order to get this chance to ascend to heaven in one step, he is willing to pay any price...

Thinking of this, Su Yanmo raised a bright smile at him: "As long as you have money in this world, there is nothing that can't be solved. I can try to clear it up, and I will definitely help you get the best recommendation!"

Leng Xi rolled her eyes, but she didn't show too much enthusiasm: "You don't get paid for nothing, what do you want me to do?"

Su Yanmo smiled indifferently: "As a junior, if you do a little care for your senior, what do you want in return?" The conversation turned smoothly, "But speaking of this, I do have a small matter, and I would like to ask my senior for help. -"

"I want to kill someone."

These words were spoken lightly, but in Leng Xi's ears, his eyes widened in an instant, and he shook his head and refused without thinking: "No! I will never do anything that breaks the law!"

While Su Yanmo was cursing Leng Xi's dead-headedness secretly in his heart, on the surface he retreated to advance, sighed deliberately, and poked his fingertips twice towards his chest: "But if you don't kill him, he will kill him." Will kill me. If senior brother thinks that my current life is worthless, you don't have to meddle in this business."

Hearing the words, Leng Xi really hesitated. Su Yanmo hit the iron while the iron was hot, and stepped forward, saying, "I've already thought about it, and I won't embarrass the elder brother. In another month, all the disciples will enter the tower of trials. Well, you have always been in charge of that place, senior brother. You just need to increase the mental power in the room of the newcomer disciple Ye Shuo a few times more... It will be fine. Once the mental center is irreparably damaged, he will be light If you are stupid, or if you are serious, you will die, but when you investigate it, it is just an accident..."

"Ye Shuo?" Leng Xi is no stranger to this most popular name in the school recently.He didn't intend to ask more about Su Yanmo and Ye Shuo's grievances, but he had to consider the possible consequences.

"But he has been the focus of the sect recently. With his potential, the master and the head teacher attach great importance to it. If he is really abolished in the Tower of Trials, they will definitely investigate thoroughly under the rage To the end! At that time, I will not be able to escape the responsibility..."

Su Yanmo waved his hands in disdain, and his smile was a little gloomy at this moment: "Don't worry, the living genius is the genius. As for the dead one, it's just a dead dog."

***
A month passed by in a hurry, and the day of the opening of the Tower of Trials finally arrived.

According to the rules of the sect, this tower will only be opened once a year, and the time limit is only six hours.But this short period of less than a day is what all disciples look forward to the most in a year.Because practicing in the tower, while resisting the mental shock wave, it will also be a good tempering of their spiritual power, and the effect of training can be called twice the result with half the effort.

It's just that it's too much to go too far. Mental shock waves are always harmful to the human body. Appropriate use may improve cultivation, but if you bear too much, it will inevitably cause mental damage.Because of this, Fu Shimen established the rule of "you can only enter the tower once a year".

Early in the morning, the bottom of the pagoda was already full of people, and a large number of disciples were chatting excitedly.Looking at the towering tower, even though it was not the first time for them to enter the Tower of Trials, their anticipation has not diminished at all every year.

"Junior Brother Ye, there are eleven floors in this pagoda, roughly corresponding to the levels of the talisman masters." In the crowded crowd, a disciple was explaining to Ye Shuo beside him.

"The first floor to the seventh floor are the usual activity areas for us disciples, that is, from junior talisman masters to the seven seals. Only senior brothers can go up to the eighth floor. As for the ninth floor, there is no one on our side." People can enter, but Ming Jitong, who competed with you that day, is at this level. Then the tenth and No.11 floors on the top correspond to the spirit talisman master and the celestial talisman master. I heard that the master and the head teacher They will practice inside at this time of year."

Ye Shuo nodded thoughtfully.During this period of time, he has gained a preliminary understanding of the entire talisman master system, knowing that it is divided into three stages, the talisman master, the spiritual talisman master, and the celestial talisman master, divided by seal ranks, and each stage has nine seals.

Nowadays, the strength of the disciples in the teacher's school is mostly mixed between the six-sealed talisman master and the seven-sealed talisman master, ranging from high to low.Then there is the five-seal talisman master, who barely occupies a small group.As for the eight seal talisman masters, there are only a handful of junior talisman masters like myself.

"I'm a six-seal talisman master now, and I'll enter the sixth floor later. Junior Brother Ye, you are a newcomer, so start from the first floor first." The disciple said seriously at the end.

"Although we all know that your strength is far beyond that, it's still your first time entering the Tower of Trials, so it's always right to be cautious. Hey, cultivation is all about step by step!"

Ye Shuo frowned deeply.He knew that his start was too far behind the others, and he originally wanted to take this opportunity to give himself a powerful medicine to improve his mental strength as soon as possible.If it is really as the disciple said, it is safe to simmer slowly on the first floor, but how effective will it be?Besides, the opportunity for this trial is only once a year, how can he have time to spend here year after year?
"I want to enter the ninth floor." After thinking for a while, Ye Shuo mumbled this sentence.

The disciple thought he had heard it wrong, but just as he was about to confirm it, Ye Shuo had already walked up to Leng Xi, who was the person in charge, and reiterated his request: "I want to enter the ninth floor."

The commotion among the disciples stopped abruptly at this moment.

Although they also knew that this junior had always "didn't take the usual path", but the first time he entered the pagoda, he said he was going to enter the ninth floor, wouldn't he be a little overconfident?Besides, even Leng Qi couldn't go up to the ninth floor. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to openly make such a request?
On the other hand, Su Yanmo was overjoyed.From his point of view, Ye Shuo really got carried away, as long as he entered the ninth floor, he wouldn't even need to do anything else, his spirit would be directly crushed by the tyrannical shock wave!But now that many disciples are watching, when the master seriously pursues it, it will be enough to prove that Ye Shuo was killed by his own arrogance... At this time, he kept winking at Leng Xi, signaling him to hurry up. agree to come down.

Leng Qi turned a blind eye to Su Yanmo's anxiety, his eyes flickered for a moment, and asked in a businesslike manner: "You are at your own risk?"

Ye Shuo nodded firmly: "At your own peril!"

Leng Qi nodded, but before he could make the decision, an angry voice sounded from the side.

"Wait a minute!"

The one who strode out of the crowd was none other than the Daoist Master Fushimen's head teacher.It's just that this old Taoist priest who has always been a fairy has a cloudy face at this moment.

"Leng Xi, how did you become a senior brother? Your junior brother is a newcomer and ignorant, and you are also ignorant? Did he just enter the ninth floor of the Tower of Trials? Did you know that? You know, once an accident occurs, it is likely to make him a paralyzed person from now on, idiot!"

Just as Leng Xi was about to defend himself, Ye Shuo stepped in first: "Master, I have my own sense of proportion..."

The head teacher of Fu Shimen was also very angry when facing him: "What is your sense of propriety! I have heard about you from Mi Shen before, and you are the one who can make troubles the most during this period! Besides, as the head teacher, You have to be responsible for the entire sect, so naturally you can't just watch, a disciple with the most potential is lost like this." After finishing speaking, he glared at Leng Xi: "I'll leave this to you, keep an eye on your junior brother One point, don't let him mess around!"

The head teacher really came and went in a hurry, and after a few lectures, he turned around and left quickly.

Why are the disciples of Fu Shimen so peaceful, but these Taoist priests are all so hot-tempered?Ye Shuo sighed and asked the sky speechlessly.

After this little commotion stopped, the Tower of Trials was finally officially opened.Ye Shuo followed a group of disciples entering from the bottom, and the sudden light and dark change made him narrow his eyes slightly.

Here is a narrow long corridor, in which there are many small rooms, each disciple can freely choose their practice room.In the same floor, the strength of the mental shock wave is the same, so as for the room, it doesn't matter which one you choose.

Ye Shuo had already seen the stairs leading to the upper floor, and a group of disciples rushed upstairs, talking and laughing, but the world above had nothing to do with him... Sighing again, Ye Shuo could only put away his extra thoughts and walk in the corridor. Searching for a room along the way.

And the last thing he chose was a room in the deepest part of the first floor.

He has always been a person who likes to be quiet, even to the point of being a bit withdrawn, making friends is even slower.So much so that I am almost 20 years old now, and the only ones who can really entrust my heart are the consultants and the small group of Tsugaki Jialuo.Therefore, knowing that he was the only one staying on the first floor, he subconsciously chose the room farthest from the crowd.

Unscrewing the doorknob, Ye Shuo stepped into the room and looked around.This place is not so much a room as it is just a relatively clean cave, with empty walls and no furnishings, but the walls seem to be made of special materials, and the sound insulation effect is not bad.Presumably or to prevent some disciples from disturbing the disciples next door if they could not bear the shock wave and make strange noises during cultivation.

After sitting cross-legged, Ye Shuo quietly closed his eyes, and indeed he could feel a faint mental shock coming into his mind.But this also made him couldn't help complaining in his heart, can this level be called a shock wave? !
……

In the outer control room, Leng Xi sat on a leather chair, looking at the huge screen in front of him.

Dynamic thumbnails of all the rooms are distributed on the screen. At this time, almost every room has a disciple entered.At the bottom of the screen, there is an equally wide console with a large number of buttons dotted around. Through the manipulation of these buttons, the window of any room can be called up, and the disciples in it can be observed in detail.

Looking at the screen, Leng Qi let out a deep breath, her heart beating at a high rate all the time.Lifting his finger, he first pressed a big red button in the middle, which was the main switch representing the shock wave.As soon as this button is pressed, all the room windows on the screen have a ripple, and they quickly return to their original state.However, in the Tower of Trials, waves of materialization have begun to wash away the spiritual consciousness of the disciples...

Frowning and silent for a while, Leng Xi shook his sleeves, took out a sound transmission jade slip from his bosom, tapped a few times with his fingers, and a message popped up: "Eldest brother, it's all up to you!"

That was a message from Su Yanmo in the Tower of Trials.Leng Xi was even more irritable when he saw it, and almost hurriedly deleted the text message.That short sentence seemed to be evidence of his guilt, reminding him that he was about to do something wrong...

From childhood to adulthood, although he often complained about the injustice of fate, Leng Qi never had the intention of harming others.Part of it was because of the constraints of the law, but the other part was something he didn't want to admit...that is, with his status, even if he harmed others, he couldn't gain much for himself.

But this time it was different, as long as Ye Shuo was abolished, he would have the opportunity to enter the Tiangong Gate, and the trajectory of his life could be changed from then on.Before the huge temptation, he chose to deal with Ye Shuo almost without hesitation, to deal with this person who had no grievances or enmities with him.As for the law...he didn't kill, it was just an accident, wasn't it?

However, through this incident, Leng Xi inevitably saw the dark side in his heart.It turns out that he is not as noble as he imagined. The only difference is that the benefits obtained by hurting others are not big enough...

The process of examining oneself has never been an easy task.This recognition made Leng Xi feel deeply sad, and perhaps it was also the sorrow of many little people.What's even more tragic is that even though he has realized the distortion of his own soul, he still has no hesitation and wants to continue walking on this path——

There is a control rod on the table, which is the gate that manages the strength of each layer of shock wave.Generally speaking, the current impact frequency is determined by the head teachers to be the most suitable for the disciples at the corresponding stage after repeated trials, and it has remained unchanged for decades.And even if changes are made, they usually affect an entire layer at the same time.

But Leng Xi has been in charge of the control room for many years, and he is quite proficient in the corresponding operations.He knows that as long as a certain switch is made through the button, the scope of the change can be locked only in a specific room...

It's just that Ye Shuo made such a fuss just now that the head teacher was dispatched in person. In order to prevent further accidents, they will probably still watch for a while.In other words, I can't do it right away... Leng Xi lit the pipe, took a deep breath, and tried hard to calm down.

When the pipe is exhausted, his fate and that of the newcomer disciple will all change at the same time!
