Wanderer of the whirling world

Chapter 176

Xin Ziqiu listened and nodded frequently, thinking that Fang Warlocks are quite smart, this is indeed a good idea.

Although guarding here for 200 years may not be a very pleasant job, but if you can get the inheritance of the alchemists and have the opportunity to become an immortal, it will definitely not be a disadvantage for ordinary people.

After all, becoming an immortal, even the lowest earth immortal, can live at least ten times longer than ordinary people because of the unity of spirit, energy and spirit into the innate realm, and the condensed spirit, body and body.

In addition to a life span of nearly a thousand years, immortals are free from disasters and diseases throughout their lives, their appearance is not old, and their quality of life is much higher than that of ordinary people.

For mortals who have only a few decades of life and cannot escape birth, old age, sickness and death, I believe that few would refuse such a good thing to ascend to the sky in one step.

As for the warlocks on the other side, if they can pass on what they have learned, not only will there be successors, but also they don't have to stay here like a prison for the rest of their lives.

As for the test they set up, Xin Ziqiu basically understood now.

The purpose of the warlocks is actually very clear.

The test on the spell problem is to confirm that the passer-by has certain mathematical knowledge and can deduce the structure of the formation.

The test at the first pass, Cang Mirage, is to identify the ability of the passers-by to resist temptation.

As for the second level, Hu Wenji's, it was some kind of talent test to see if the passer-by had the aptitude to accept the inheritance.

Only the third level is the most inexplicable. It is not only a simple and ordinary treasure hunt, but also arranges the passers-by to kill each other. This is really inhumane, illogical, and a bit strange.

Thinking of this, Xin Ziqiu was suddenly horrified and his expression changed.

Your uncle, what do I want to do, I forgot that now I have also become a passer, and I want to accept the inheritance.

But everyone else can accept the inheritance, only I can't...

I can't stay here for a hundred years.

Although Lao Xiao told him that the flow of time in this world is different from the world he lives in. After a year here, the real world may not even have a day. .

but……

Whirling World only gave him six months this time...

When the time comes, he will return directly, and there is no way to stay here for so long.

Of course, Xin Ziqiu can choose to conceal this matter, first deceive the inheritance of the warlocks, and run away when the time is up, I believe that no matter how powerful these immortals are, they will not be able to travel through time and space to catch him back.

But he can't do such a foolish thing that hurts others and benefits himself.

……

Lu Tong didn't care about the change of Xin Ziqiu's face, he looked at him with a smile on his face and Cao Guoshu who looked envious, and said:
"About this ancient tomb, I've already told you everything I know, what's the problem now?"

This time Uncle Cao Guo asked:
"Dare to ask Master Lu, why do you have to choose mortals as inheritors, and set up restrictions to not allow immortals to enter?"

This is what Lu Dongbin once said, he and Zhong Liquan are too powerful, entering the ancient tomb will cause the formation to collapse, so Cao Guojiu was appointed to find someone for them.

Xin Ziqiu also nodded. This is really puzzling. Since it is for guarding the seal formation, shouldn't the higher the strength, the better?

Lu Tong laughed and said:
"That's right, immortals are not allowed to enter here. We have set up four areas outside, which are created by using the power of the four great beasts in the cage, merging the original cage formation, and adding many restrictions .

"The reason is actually very simple. We warlocks are not practicing ancient immortal arts, but the path we have explored. Those immortals outside who have a strong blood of ancient immortals cannot practice our spells. It is difficult for these people to come. It's useless, but it will affect us to choose those real inheritors.

"However, the real function of these formation restrictions is to prevent the remnants of the demons from entering and destroying the cage. Once the entire formation restriction senses a force beyond the normal range, it will destroy itself without hesitation, destroying all People are isolated.

"Of course, this formation is not perfect, and it is inevitable that many suitable candidates will be missed, but we don't care. We would rather not find talents, but also ensure safety."

"In this way, as long as we repair the outer formations every once in a while, we can sit back and relax, and don't have to worry about someone coming to destroy it. It is precisely because of such restrictions that we can live a peaceful life for 1000 years."

Only then did Uncle Cao Guo understand the whole story, no wonder Patriarch Chunyang didn't want to come in himself.

He thought for a while and took out Ruyi in his hand and asked again:

"Realist Lu, to be honest, I was ordered by Chunyang Patriarch Lu Dongbin and Zhengyang Patriarch Zhong Liquan to search for a person in the ancient tomb this time... can I ask Master Lu for help?"

Lu Tong was taken aback for a moment, a little puzzled:

"Who are you looking for?"

Uncle Cao Guo smiled awkwardly, shook the white jade Ruyi in his hand and said:

"This... the patriarch didn't say it explicitly, he just said that with this token, we will meet each other if we are destined."

Lu Tong bared his teeth amused by him:
"I said, you don't even know who to turn to. How can my old man help you? Since your patriarch said that we can meet each other if we are destined to meet each other, it is estimated that the fate has not yet arrived. But the wishful thinking in your hands is the result of my formation formation here. How did your patriarch get the token?"

Uncle Cao Guo shook his head.

Lu Tong had a nonchalant expression on his face and didn't ask any further questions. He sniffed and said:
"Forget it, it doesn't matter, the two of you are not very old, and you are also mortals, so you can just accept our inheritance, what do you think?"

Cao Guojiu recalled that Lu Dongbin had told him that this visit to the ancient tomb would be of great benefit to him, so he was naturally very happy because of this, and hurriedly said:

"Thank you, Lord Alchemist, for inheriting Taoism, I can't ask for more..."

Lu Tong smiled and waved his hands:
"You're welcome, everyone gets what they need, and we don't give you the opportunity to practice the law for nothing. After entering the core, I will give you a magic weapon, and then give you three months to go back and deal with the affairs behind you. When the time is up, The power of the magic weapon will draw you here to receive the real inheritance."

Uncle Cao Guo has a noble status, and there is an uneasy younger brother in the family who needs to make arrangements. Originally, he wanted to ask Lu Tong if he could give him a few days to say goodbye to his family and arrange things, but he was afraid of offending the magicians. So I didn't dare to say.

But I didn't expect that a fairy is a fairy, even these things are considered for him, it is really thoughtful and full of human touch.

Lu Tong looked at Xin Ziqiu again, and asked with a smile:

"What about you?"

Although the temptation to become an immortal is great, Xin Ziqiu decides to stick to his heart:

"Really Lu, thank you for your kindness, but I cannot accept the inheritance."

Lu Tong frowned slightly:
"Oh? That's strange. Since we selected inheritors in this way, we have found many mortals who have cleared the customs for hundreds of years. It is not uncommon for us to reject our inheritance, but there are only a handful of them, pitifully few .Do you have any concerns? Do you think our inheritance is not strong enough, or are you afraid that your character is not enough to stick to it?
"Actually, guarding the formation is not as heavy a task as you might imagine. Most of the time, we are practicing independently. Only when there is a change in the cage, will we take action to strengthen the formation together. In this case, it will take a few years at most. It’s just one time, sometimes for decades, that it’s been so peaceful that no one has to deal with it at all.”

Xin Ziqiu smiled apologetically and said:

"That's not the case, Master Lu, to be honest, I am indeed very interested in your alchemist's inheritance, but I have other important things about me, so I can't stay here for a long time. Please, please hire someone else."

Lu Tong smacked his lips and said regretfully:
"Well, everyone has their own aspirations. If that's the case, then I won't force it. However, you can be regarded as a predestined person when you come here. Come with me to enter the core to have a look. Although the inheritance cannot be given to you, a meeting gift is always indispensable. of."

Naturally, Xin Ziqiu would not refuse the alchemist's kindness, and nodded with a smile.

Seeing that he didn't refuse anymore, Lu Tong nodded and raised his hand to type out a spell.

An invisible innate qi collided with a wall of the palace, and I don't know what kind of formation was triggered. There was a creaking sound, and a door opened on the wall.

Xin Ziqiu looked up, and saw clouds and mist shrouded outside the gate, and in the middle there was an avenue several feet wide, all paved with white marble, which was magnificent and went straight to the sky.

Lu Tong laughed and said:
"You two, this is Tongtian Road. Follow me to the end, and we will see the alchemists guarding here."

As he spoke, he led the two of them towards the avenue in great strides.

Along the way, the three of them talked and laughed happily. Uncle Cao Guo was very interested in the old things of the ancient times and asked a lot of questions. Lu Tong really knew everything and introduced a lot of secrets. It was obvious that he had regarded him as one of his own.

Xin Ziqiu, on the other hand, has been brooding over the strange third level before, with a big question mark in his heart, like a stick in his throat, unable to vomit, and couldn't help but boldly asked Lu Tong:
"Really Lu, there is one thing that I don't know about this junior. Just now, in the last stage, we were arranged by Ren Jia to kill each other and snatch the clearance mark. Is this also a test set by your warlocks?"

Lu Tong's expression changed when he heard the words:
"What? How could there be such a test? Tell me about it."

Xin Ziqiu recounted Ren Jia's test in its entirety.

After hearing the design of "killing the clearer, you can get the mark of clearing the level", Lu Tong's expression changed suddenly, and he said in a deep voice:
"Ren Jia really said that?"

Xin Ziqiu nodded.

Lu Tong frowned and said:

"How is this possible? The original test was not like this at all. The tokens for clearing the level are stored in the third level, and the passers-by need to solve a series of calculation problems in order to break through the formation and get the tokens. How can you kill each other? We are To choose people to pass on the Tao, what is the use of killing people?
"If what you said is true, then Renjia must have changed the content of the test without permission. But why did he do that?"

Xin Ziqiu's face also changed when he heard the words, there must be a demon if something goes wrong, he smelled a conspiracy.

Lu Tong stretched out his hand to make a tactic, pondered for a moment, then suddenly his face changed, and he stopped in his tracks.

Xin Ziqiu and Uncle Cao Guo didn't know what he meant, but seeing his unkind expression, they didn't dare to ask more questions, and stood beside him blankly.

I only heard Lu Tong say in a deep voice:
"Strange, how come there are other people on Tongtian Road, and more than one?"

……

At the same time, Ren Jia, who was following Hong Taiwei and his party, also stopped.

Seeing this, the tall man beside him asked:
"Renjia, what's going on?"

Renjia Youyou said:

"Someone is mobilizing the formation here, it should be Lu Tong. He probably found something wrong and is calculating my position."

The tall man said disdainfully:

"Lu Tong? What cultivation level is he now?"

Ren Jia thought for a while and replied:
"He hasn't condensed the Dao embryo yet, and he's still far from the peak of the Earth Immortal."

The short man sneered:
"Hmph, I guess he's not much better than you. If you find him, you'll find out. What's so scary, can you figure out his location? Let's just rush over and kill him."

Renjia took a deep look at him:
"No, unless you are sure to kill with one blow, once he destroys the formation, no one will be able to enter the core."

The short man shrugged:

"Okay, but since he is calculating your location, he must have become suspicious. Even if we don't go to him, he will come here."

Renjia said lightly:
"It's okay, the two of you have higher cultivation levels than him, hold your breath and don't let him find out, I have my own way to deal with it. It's not good for anyone, we are here to do great things, not to kill people for fun."

The tall man snorted:
"Okay, we listen to you."

Talking about pulling the short man, the figures of the two quickly faded away, and soon there was no trace, no matter with the naked eye or with spiritual thoughts, they couldn't detect it, as if they had disappeared from this world.

Ren Jia was expressionless, lightly shaking the feather fan in his hand, watching all this quietly, until both of them disappeared, and then said:
"You two, please follow me closely. If I need your help, I will throw away this feather fan. Otherwise, even if my head is chopped off, don't act rashly."

In the void, a tall man's voice came from leisurely:
"Okay, but you'd better not play tricks."

Ren Jia ignored him, paced squarely, and walked forward steadily.

He has a leisurely demeanor, but with every step he takes, he can advance several feet in the air, which is unbelievably fast.

After a while, he caught up with the group led by Hong Taiwei.

Renjia said loudly:

"Everyone, please stay!"

When everyone heard someone talking, they all looked back.

As the leader of the team, Hong Taiwei stepped forward with the support of the hairy monkey, and said to Renjia with a fist:

"Your Excellency is the examiner Ren Jia of the third test? What advice do you have?"

Ren Jia put on a strange look, knowingly asked:

"How did you get in?"

Hong Taiwei looked confused:
"This official didn't know that Captain Xin in our team was the one who got the clearance token, but after he was teleported away, we were also wrapped in a strong light and sent here directly."

Ren Jia frowned:
"Is there something wrong with the formation? Don't leave anymore, just wait where you are. Someone will come to guide you back in a while. The front is the core area of ​​the ancient tomb. Those who don't have a clearance token are not eligible to enter."

Hong Taiwei smiled and said:
"Brother Renjia, since we are all here, we are considered destined people, let us also enter the core to have a look."

Renjia smiled slightly:
"It doesn't matter what I said, I'm just a servant who guards the outer area."

Hong Taiwei still refused to give up, and said politely:

"Then who has the final say? Let me tell him that we are officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and we are entrusted with great trust from the officials. Even immortals, we have to give some respect."

Ren Jia shook his head:

"My lord, it's not that I don't want to help you, but that I don't know where Fang Warlocks are, so I really can't help you."

Taiwei Hong exclaimed that it was a pity, sucked his teeth and said:

"Hey, brother Renjia, you see we took a lot of effort to get in, can't we really accommodate?"

Renjia shook his head.

Then a thin voice sounded:

"Here I have the final say, why, do you want to talk?"
