Dao fruit.

Zhao You's attitude has changed significantly, he lowered his posture, and there was a taste of equality and friendship. The jealousy and anger that filled his eyes had all dissipated.

"I have offended you a lot before, please forgive me, brother Qiu. In fact, I, Zhao You, am not narrow-minded, but have been trapped for hundreds of years. It is difficult to connect with the world, and it is inevitable to be irritable. Therefore, I have lost my normal nature and nature. Please don't take it to heart. .”

He spoke sincerely, with a look of regret, as if he was really introspecting, and wanted to clear up the misunderstanding with Qiu Yan.

However, Qiu Yan has the heart demon as his foundation. Although he has not released the heart demon fragments at this time, he has a clear understanding of other people's emotions. Knowing that Zhao You has calmed down after being surprised, he restrained all his mind and emotions, and did not reveal the slightest bit of anger. And jealousy disappeared.

However, this does not mean that the other party has let go of the malice in his heart, on the contrary, such an expression reflects Zhao You's control over his emotions and state of mind, and shows that his malice towards Qiu Yan has not only not disappeared, but has become stronger.

If it wasn't for the ghost in his heart, why did he restrain all his emotions?

It should be noted that the emotional fluctuations emitted by the soul body are not only evil thoughts, but also good intentions. Such restraint is obviously to cover up. If ordinary people don't think about these, they will be fooled.

Qiu Yan didn't point it out, and followed the trend, but various thoughts arose in his heart.

"What Zhao You did before is considered to be an enmity with me. He also understands this, so he will not let it go. There should be other plans. However, if I want revenge, there is no need to do anything about it. This person is trapped here , his mind has long been distorted, and for him, sinking here forever is more terrifying than any revenge or punishment!"

Qiu Yan had already grasped the great fear and terror in Zhao You's heart, so he naturally knew how to deal with it.

Let's talk about it, the two stepped into the bamboo forest again, Zhao You was harboring evil intentions, while Qiu Yan followed the trend.Use words to insinuate, so as to clarify the situation and collect intelligence.

While chatting, Qiu Yan pretended to be unintentional and asked: "I don't know what is the origin of the old gentleman in that room?"

Zhao You shook his head and said: "Zhao has been here for nearly 300 years. Just arrived here, Mr. has been sitting in the house. For hundreds of years, he has never left the house. He doesn't talk much on weekdays, so No one knows the origin, but Mr. Zhao is knowledgeable and talented, and Zhao and others are often educated by him. If Mr. can come out of this place, no matter which country he is in, he will be regarded as a distinguished guest."

"Oh? It seems that your Excellency and your colleagues have benefited a lot from here." Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes and continued to ask: "However, this hill is not big. Could it be that you have been trapped in a corner for hundreds of years? "

Zhao You shook his head, and replied: "That's not true. There is a cave on the top of this mountain, and there is another cave. It is no different from the world of Yang, but it is illusory. It can relieve temporary worries, but it cannot calm the anxiety in the heart."

"An illusion that is no different from the mortal world? That is an illusion. Illusion is formed by ideas, which can confuse the mind, but if you know in advance that it is the structure of ideas, no matter how happy you live in it, you are just deceiving yourself."

Thinking about it, Qiu Yan nodded, and then asked: "Speaking of which, your Excellency has been trapped for a long time, but have you ever thought about getting out of it? Is there any way to get out?"

Hearing this question, Zhao You's mood suddenly fluctuated, and he couldn't even completely lock in the emotional fluctuations, leaked a little, but was immediately controlled by him.

However, just the emotional fluctuation leaked at this moment is enough to be caught by Qiu Yan, and some clues can be found from it——

Zhao You's mood swings were mixed with anger and jealousy, but in addition to that, there was also a kind of ecstasy that was forcibly suppressed, and there was a faint urge to be unbearable and want to do something at any time.

This aroused Qiu Yan's vigilance.

At the same time, Zhao You showed a look of loneliness, sighed, made a look of vicissitudes, and said in a low tone: "This is also fate, trapped here, if there is no accident, it is estimated that until the soul dies, I will not wait. Maybe he left, besides, even if he leaves, hundreds of years have passed, and his physical body has long since decayed, so he can only enter the underworld..."

As he said that, he shook his head and glanced at Qiu Yan: "I can't compare to Brother Qiu, Brother Qiu, you have not been assimilated by scholars. If you pass the test, you will be able to return immediately." As he spoke, he showed envy.

Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, analyzing the authenticity of the other party's words, and said at the same time: "Although this is the case, it is not easy to pass the three tests."

"Of course, I've only heard the name of the three passes, and I don't know what it really means. I heard that ten people entered the pass, and less than one or two survived, but there is always hope. It's not like us!" shook his head.

Qiu Yan became silent, analyzed and summarized, and gradually summed up a little bit of context.

"This Zhao You doesn't know, I came here by accident, and I have no idea or understanding of the so-called breaking through the three levels, so there is a high possibility that his words are not fake, that is to say, the unknown content of breaking through the three levels should make people I'm leaving here, but the mood swings revealed by Zhao You just now revealed other information."

After thinking about it, Qiu Yan took a look at Zhao You.

"The joy in this person's heart may be that he thinks he can teach me a lesson, or that he has an opportunity to leave here. No matter which one it is, it is related to me, so he must be careful."

In his thoughts, the thatched hut was close in front of him, so Zhao You kept silent.

Qiu Yan figured it out a bit: "The current situation is becoming clearer. Since there is a way to leave, let's try to go through the so-called three barriers first. If the flesh and blood soul is trapped here, it's also a matter of luck, but we must always fight for it." Fan, if you can use this to learn more about the secrets, it will also help the other two bodies, in addition, you must pay attention to this Zhao You..."

With this in mind, Qiu Yan came to the hut again, but this time, under Zhao You's gaze, he was invited into the house and sat opposite the old man. As for Zhao You, it was after the salute , turned around and left without staying for a moment.

It was only after close observation that Qiu Yan noticed that the old man was actually older than he imagined.

"How? Have you ever thought it through?"

After Qiu Yan sat down, the old man closed his eyes and asked, but before Qiu Yan could answer, he waved his hand again and said, "Yes, it's been too long, and I almost forgot the rules. Let me tell you clearly about the dangers of the three passes, so that you can know it in your heart."

This answer was somewhat beyond Qiu Yan's expectations, but he would naturally not stop it. As far as the current stage is concerned, the more things related to breaking through the three levels, the better.

"I can't tell you the specific content of the three levels, but I can tell you the danger."

He paused, lowered his voice, and said: "The danger of the three barriers, first of all, is that there is no return. You can only move forward, and you can't retreat. Once you decide to pass through the barrier, there is no turning back. If you don't advance, you will lose!"

When the old man was speaking, Wensi gathered around him, corresponding to his words, creating an atmosphere of urgency, terror, and unknown, filling the surroundings bit by bit, penetrating people's hearts, making Qiu Yan aware of the danger.

Immediately afterwards, the old man continued: "Three tests are extremely difficult, not to say that it is difficult to pass, but elusive. It is possible to go through hardships, but because of an inadvertent action or decision, you fail. people imagine."

Corresponding to these words, there was a kind of gloomy aura, which sprang from the ground and spread over Qiu Yan's body. Qiu Yan immediately realized that this was a strand of thought that constituted the hut, containing the fear of the unknown and the fear of failure. fear.

Fear and fear, like seeds, took root in his heart and continued to grow, making Qiu Yan's heartstrings stretched to the extreme. He tried to dispel it, but found it difficult to achieve!

On the other side, the old man said, suddenly raised his finger and pointed outside: "You should have seen here, these many Confucian scholars have been assimilated by scholars, their consciousness and will should have been shattered by the whole world of scholars and turned into bits and pieces. , blend into it, no longer themselves, but everything has a chance of life, this hill where the old people are, is the place where their souls live, is that chance of life."

Qiu Yan didn't interrupt, just waited aside, he knew that the old man mentioned these things for no reason.

Sure enough, the old man went on to say: "If you give up breaking through the barriers, you can stay here and avoid dying in the three barriers. Although it is difficult to get out, you can keep your soul immortal. There is a fantasy world in this mountain, which is as inexhaustible as the world of the sun." Second, in the world of mortals, there is no difference between true and false, false and real."

These few words of his were spoken in a peculiar rhythm, his voice trembled slightly, and there was a mood of moistening things and making no sound.

Although Qiu Yan was always vigilant, it was still unavoidable. The idea of ​​seeking peace and tranquility arose in his mind, and he tasted the principles of human nature from the true and false words of the world of mortals, and he had a faint feeling!

"In the world of mortals, true and false, false and true, only what you feel..."

In an instant, he seemed to see Gentle Township, felt the warmth of his home, and saw his uncle, aunt, and a group of relatives calling him, and even his dead father Qiu Zonglin and mother Liu Shi showed their bodies and walked towards him .

The old man's description of the three levels brought tension, fear and dread, but the family affection and warmth in front of him soothed the mood. In contrast, it seemed extraordinarily precious. Even though he knew that these were illusory, Qiu Yan still felt a little nostalgic.

But in the bottom of my heart, there is a little enlightenment gradually revealed, as if I am about to understand the true meaning of truth and falsehood!

"Everything in the world seems to exist, but in fact it is illusory. Their meaning is only to generate corresponding emotions, consciousness and memories in people's hearts. When you see them and think about them, they are meaningful to you. If you don't look at them, if there is no corresponding concept in your mind, then they don't exist, it's true or not, it's the same thing, why bother?" Although the old man closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see Qiu Yan's words. expression, nodding with a smile.

But at this moment, Qiu Yan suddenly shook his whole body, shook his head, his eyes became firm, and his thoughts condensed, forming a sword in his soul!

Hui Jian!

The light of the sword is cold and the blade is tough.

The old man's smile froze immediately.
