I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

Chapter 262 How to pass the trial

Zhao Qi and the others ran all the way and soon returned to Shadow Town.

Night gradually enveloped Shadow Town, giving this mysterious town a deeper color.

Zhao Qi stood at the entrance of the town, looking firmly ahead, as if he wanted to penetrate the thick night and find out the secrets hidden in it.

"Zhao Qi, are you sure we want to go in?" Yi Wuxiao asked hesitantly. He looked at the fog-shrouded town in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"Of course, aren't we here just to explore the secrets here?" Zhao Qi looked back at him, with a confident smile on his lips.

Lan Lingling stood aside and said nothing, but her eyes were full of curiosity and expectation for the unknown.

The three of them smiled at each other and stepped into Shadow Town together.

The streets of the town are narrow and winding, and the houses on both sides are old and dilapidated, as if they will collapse at any time. Fog fills the streets, adding a sense of mystery and eerieness to the place.

"No one seems to live here." Yi Wuxiao looked around and said with some surprise.

"It's better if no one lives there. No one will disturb us in exploring the secrets." Zhao Qi said with a smile.

They found an inn to stay, and then began to discuss their next plan.

After some discussion, they decided to rest in Shadow Town for a while and wait for the power of the spirit beads to recover before continuing to their next destination.

After all, they have now offended the mysterious man and may be in danger again if they act rashly.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to hide in Shadow Town and wait until the time is right before taking action.

In the following days, Zhao Qi and the others have been practicing in seclusion in the inn. In addition to practicing every day, they studied how to use the mysterious spirit bead and discussed how to deal with the mysterious man's revenge.

After walking out of the inn, they walked along the street and soon came to an old shop.

The wooden door of the shop was closed tightly, and there were some strange patterns carved on the door, which looked very mysterious.

"This is it." Zhao Qi pointed to the store and said, "It is said that this store contains countless treasures. Let's try our luck today."

With that said, he walked forward and gently pushed open the door of the shop. A harsh crunching sound sounded, as if announcing that they were about to enter another world.

The three of them walked into the store, and the sight in front of them immediately shocked them. All kinds of rare treasures are displayed in the store, and the bright light shines in the darkness, which is dazzling.

"Wow, there are really so many treasures here!" Lan Lingling shouted excitedly.

"Don't worry, let's take a look at it slowly." Zhao Qi said and began to look at these treasures carefully. His eyes were sharp and keen, as if he could see through the essence of these treasures.

The light inside the shop was dim, with only a few flickering oil lamps emitting a faint light, illuminating the surroundings. There is an ancient and mysterious atmosphere in the air, as if this place has been covered in dust for countless years.

Zhao Qi's eyes were immediately attracted by the scene in front of him. The shelves, counters, and floors were filled with all kinds of curiosities.

There are gems that sparkle with dazzling light, elixirs that exude a faint fragrance, and strange-shaped magical instruments, each of which exudes an unusual aura.

"Wow, there are so many things here!" Yi Wuxiao followed Zhao Qi and looked around curiously, "Look at this and this, they are all treasures!"

Lan Lingling seemed even more excited. She flew around the store like a bird, making surprise calls from time to time.

Zhao Qi was not as excited as them. His eyes swept over every treasure, as if he was looking for something. His eyes were sharp and deep, as if he could see through the essence of these treasures.

Yi Wuxiao followed Zhao Qi, expressing his opinions from time to time. The three of them were walking through the store like this, as if they were in a fantasy-filled dream.

Suddenly, Zhao Qi's footsteps stopped. His eyes were fixed on a treasure in front of him - it was a sword, with a faint spiritual energy flowing around the sword, as if it was alive.

His eyes were fixed on a sword. This sword is inconspicuous compared to other treasures, but it exudes a faint light, as if it is waiting for the arrival of the destined person.

Zhao Qi stepped forward and stretched out his hand to touch the sword. However, the moment he was about to touch the sword, a powerful force suddenly struck him, knocking him back a few steps.

"Eh? What's going on?" Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling immediately gathered around and asked with concern.

"This sword has a spirit." Zhao Qi took a deep breath and said solemnly, "It seems to be waiting for the person who can truly own it."

"So, don't we have to accept its trial to get it?" Yi Wuxiao scratched his head and said helplessly.

"That's right." Zhao Qi nodded, "And the trial is definitely not easy."

"Humph, I am not afraid of any trials!" Lan Lingling puffed up her chest and said proudly, "Brother Zhao Qi, let's accept the trial together!"

Zhao Qi looked at her cute look and couldn't help but smile. He stepped forward again, stretched out his hand and grasped the hilt of the sword. This time, the powerful force did not attack again, but flowed into his body along his arms.

He felt a warm force moving through his body, as if it was merging with him.

Zhao Qi held the sword in his hand and felt the slight vibration coming from the sword, as if it was resonating with him. He took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and scanned the surroundings warily.

The air in the store seemed to be frozen, and an indescribable sense of depression filled the air.

Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling also felt this strange atmosphere. They involuntarily approached Zhao Qi, and the three of them formed a tight defensive circle.

"Something's wrong, there seems to be something spying on us here." Yi Wuxiao whispered, with a trace of uneasiness in his eyes.

Zhao Qi nodded, and he also felt the mysterious power.

This force is powerful and hidden, making it impossible for them to determine its specific location and source. He knew in his heart that this was definitely not a simple matter.

"We have to be careful, there may be a bigger secret hidden here." Zhao Qi said in a deep voice, his fingers gently stroking the hilt of the sword, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

At this moment, a faint light flashed from the sword and disappeared in an instant.

Zhao Qi's heart moved, and he felt that the sword seemed to be pointing in some direction. He followed the faint feeling and found a closed door in the corner of the shop.

"What's behind that door?" Lan Lingling asked curiously.

Zhao Qi shook his head: "I don't know either, but I feel that mysterious power seems to be coming from behind that door."

Yi Wuxiao suddenly became interested when he heard this: "In that case, let's go and take a look. Maybe we can reveal the secrets here."

Zhao Qi nodded, and the three of them walked towards the door cautiously. As they got closer, the mysterious power seemed to become stronger and stronger, making their heartbeats speed up a bit. "Are you ready?" Zhao Qi asked in a low voice.

Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling nodded. They held the weapons in their hands tightly and were ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

Zhao Qi took a deep breath and pushed open the door. A biting cold wind immediately surged out from behind the door, making the three of them shiver.

They looked intently, only to find that there was a dark passage behind the door, with a faint light faintly visible deep in the passage.

"What is this place?" Lan Lingling asked in surprise.

Zhao Qi did not answer, and his heart was full of doubts. He felt that the mysterious power came from the depths of this passage, but they could not determine where this passage led to.

"Let's go in and take a look." Yi Wuxiao said, "Maybe we can find some clues."

Zhao Qi nodded, and the three of them walked forward cautiously along the passage.

The walls on both sides of the passage are covered with mottled marks that seem to have been there for a long time. The further they walked, the stronger the mysterious power became, making them more and more nervous.

Suddenly, a dazzling light came from the depths of the passage, causing them to close their eyes involuntarily.

When they opened their eyes again, they found that they had arrived in a mysterious space.

The space was filled with strange colors and lights that made them feel dizzy.

They looked around, only to find that this space seemed to be an independent existence, completely isolated from the outside world.

"Where is this place?" Lan Lingling asked in surprise, "How did we get here?"

Zhao Qi frowned. He felt that this space seemed to be related to that mysterious power.

He knew in his heart that they might have stepped into the real secret of Shadow Town.

"We have to be careful." Zhao Qi said in a deep voice, "There may be huge dangers hidden here."

Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling nodded. They held the weapons in their hands tightly and were ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

They know that this mysterious space may hide secrets and powers they cannot imagine.

Zhao Qi took a deep breath and began to explore this mysterious space with Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling.

They walked cautiously, for fear of touching any mechanism or trap. However, as they went deeper, they gradually discovered the strangeness of this space.

This space seemed to be a huge maze. They walked for a long time but never found the exit.

Moreover, the walls and floors here emitted a faint light, making it impossible for them to judge the passage of time.

"We seem to be trapped here." Yi Wuxiao said frustratedly.

Zhao Qi did not give up. He carefully observed the surrounding environment, trying to find some clues. He knew in his heart that this mysterious space definitely did not appear for no reason. It must have some special meaning.

At this moment, a faint light flashed from the sword in Zhao Qi's hand.

Zhao Qi's heart moved, and he felt that the sword seemed to be guiding their direction. He followed the faint feeling and found a closed door in front of him.

"What's behind this door?" Lan Lingling asked curiously.

Zhao Qi shook his head: "I don't know either, but I feel that this door seems to lead to the exit."

Yi Wuxiao perked up after hearing this: "In that case, let's open it quickly."

Zhao Qi nodded and pushed open the door. A dazzling light immediately came from behind the door, causing them to close their eyes involuntarily.

Deep in the store, under the dim light, Zhao Qi was confronting the store owner.

Zhao Qi's eyes revealed firmness and determination, and he was ready to accept any challenge.

The shopkeeper is an old man with white hair, and his eyes sparkle with wisdom. He said slowly: "This sword has a spirit, and it will not surrender to anyone easily. Only by passing its trial can you truly own it."

Zhao Qi took a deep breath and nodded firmly: "I am willing to accept the trial."

The old man smiled slightly and pointed at the sword: "Then, go ahead. Remember, the trial is full of illusions and traps. Only a firm will and strong strength can let you pass."

Zhao Qi stepped forward, stretched out his hand and grasped the hilt of the sword. A cold feeling immediately entered his body from the hilt of the sword, lifting his spirits.

He held the hilt of the sword tightly and pulled it out hard. The sword immediately let out a clear dragon's roar and came out of its sheath.

A dazzling light shot out from the sword, shrouding Zhao Qi in it. His figure disappeared instantly and entered a trial space full of illusions and traps.

The trial space was dark, with only a few blue flames floating in the air, adding a bit of mystery and weirdness to the space.

Zhao Qi looked around cautiously, trying to find a way to pass the trial.

Suddenly, a burst of sharp laughter sounded in his ears: "Hahaha, welcome to my trial space. If you want to pass the trial, you must first defeat the three layers of illusions I set up."

Zhao Qi held the sword tightly and said solemnly: "No matter what kind of illusion it is, I will definitely defeat it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dense forest immediately appeared in front of his eyes.

The forest was filled with all kinds of ferocious beasts and strange plants, and they all attacked Zhao Qi one after another.

Zhao Qi wielded his sword and launched a fierce battle with these beasts and plants.

The light of his sword flashes, and each swing of the sword can chop a piece of beast or plant into pieces. However, these beasts and plants seem to be endless, constantly coming from all directions.

Zhao Qi knew in his heart that this was just the first illusion. He must find a way to crack it as soon as possible, otherwise no matter how strong he is, he will be exhausted by these endless beasts and plants.

While fighting, he observed the surrounding environment, trying to find the weakness of the illusion.

Finally, with his unremitting efforts, he discovered a tree that was different from the others.
