Dao fruit.

The person who appeared in front of Qiu Yan was Chen Jing who entered the forest with him!

"This is the second of the three levels. How could Chen Jing appear here? Could it be an illusion?"

Qiu Yan and Chen Jing parted ways outside Shushan. In Qiu Yan's impression, the other party was staying on the floating boat, but after the yellow sand dispersed, when the Confucian scholars entered the cave, the crowd did not have Chen Jing's breath.

Moreover, even if Chen Jing entered the cave, how could he appear here?This is the dark side of Shilin!

Questions flowed through Qiu Yan's mind. He was surprised at first, but was quickly suppressed, and his thoughts changed sharply.

"Speaking of which, Chen Jing never talked about the extent of his literary achievements. He was selected by Zhen Zhizuo back then, even if he was not popular, he must have some skills, otherwise he would not be in Zhen Zhizuo's eyes at all."

"In addition, this Chen Jing has always been acting mysteriously, hiding many secrets, and has not disclosed the purpose of entering the forest. Moreover, the Chen family behind him seems to be no small matter. From the previous tone, it should be the Xingjing family, who is in the whole of Darui. I am afraid there is a place in the powerful circle."

"Whether he appears here is an enemy or a friend is not certain."

Chen Jing seemed to have guessed what Qiu Yan was thinking. He walked over and said with a smile, "Brother Qiu, don't think too much. Chen came here just to see something. Actually, being able to come here is the same as when he entered the forest. It’s a tricky method, and there is no ability to really break through the barrier.”

Chen Jing smiled, giving people a sense of intimacy, but just experienced the baptism of a "kind elder", Qiu Yan was not affected by this smile at all.

Suppressing doubts, Qiu Yan changed his mind, and all kinds of experiences after entering the forest quickly flashed, and he said directly: "Could it be that Brother Chen's purpose is related to the revived god?"

"Resurrection God?" Chen Jing shook his head when he heard the words, "What kind of recovery is that, but since Brother Qiu asked about it, it's hard to hide it..." He changed the subject: "However, Chen's coming here is indeed related to the passing god. There are some relationships that are of great importance, so it is inconvenient to talk about it with Brother Qiu, but you and I have traveled together all the way, and we meet again here, there is a lot of fate, Chen may wish to remind Brother Qiu."

"I would like to hear the details." Qiu Yan flicked his fingers.

"The Great Rui Dynasty has passed its peak. In recent years, there have been several confrontations with the Hu people. More defeats than victories, and the depletion of the national treasury, it is only now that there is a reform. Only in this way, it is inevitable that there will be waves, and these It has something to do with Shinto." Chen Jing looked at Qiu Yan, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes, "I know Brother Qiu is determined. He also has rules in his actions, but in the future, it is best to keep a distance from the new party and the old party, so as to save Chi Yu from being hurt."

"The new party, the old party?" Qiu Yan thought about it in his heart, and said in his mouth. "The matter of reform is too far away for Qiu. I just listen to Brother Chen's opinion. Could it be that the divine way is not conducive to Ma Laoxiangguo, Wang Xianggong and others? There is a difference between gods and men..."

Chen Jing didn't wait for Qiu Yan to ask, he waved his hands and said, "I'm just reminding Brother Qiu. I can't say more about specific things, and Chen's knowledge is limited. We are all mortals. We are not gods, but gods." Things can only be thought and guessed, and it is difficult to know the real secret."

"A mortal with limited knowledge can arrive here silently? I don't know how many of Chen Jing's words are true and how many are false..."

Thinking in his heart, Qiu Yan's mind suddenly flashed a fragment of memory, which was a person he had seen before Grand Master Dong in the land of relics.

"The grand master of the former court, after talking with Yin Xiao'e, revealed some information faintly. The demise of the previous dynasty seems to be related to the Shinto. He also said similar things after hearing about Darui's reform..." Qiu Yan did not After questioning Chen Jing, he knew that the other party would not disclose other information.

At this time, Chen Jing smiled again: "Okay, Mr. Chen's nonsense has delayed brother Qiu a lot of time. This is the gap between the first and second levels. The second hurdle, Bai Zhaoyuan came here one step ahead of brother Qiu, and now it has passed."

"Bai Zhaoyuan?" Hearing this name, Qiu Yan looked around, and then thought of something, "He's here too? Where did he come from?"

Chen Jing was not surprised, and said frankly: "There are ninety-nine and 81 small worlds in the shadow of Shilin. Anyone who comes to the shadow will go to different places according to their literary heart, and the first person who breaks through the three levels will go to different places." The first level is actually to break through the small world and come here, but the specific content of the first level varies from person to person, almost every time it is different."

Chen Jing knew that Qiu Yan didn't know much about Shilin allusions, so he introduced them.

"So that's it, 81 places..." Qiu Yan nodded, "So, Bai Zhaoyuan and Beixuan are going to forget about other small worlds. You said that Bai Zhaoyuan has been here, so what about Beixuan?"

"I'm not sure about that," Chen Jing spread his hands, "Chen is just staying here for a while, and has never thought about passing through the checkpoint. I heard that the last checkpoint can only be reached by those who have mastered the arts."

Qiu Yan pondered for a moment, then stopped asking any further questions, and then bid farewell with his hands, and left in a big stride.

"Qiu Yan actually came here." Seeing Qiu Yan's back disappearing into the darkness, Chen Jing sighed, "I originally used him to enter the forest, but I didn't expect to run into the Sun's family and let Qiu Yan take advantage of the situation. Now that you have entered the second level, at least you can harvest a volume of sage spirit, if you can go to the third level... then it will be amazing!"

Chen Jing showed a complex look.

"Time is destiny. Qiu Yanxiu has Taoism. Once he surrenders the third level, the power he can unleash is much higher than that of Bai Zhaoyuan. It can be said to reach the sky in one step! Even ordinary gods can't hold him, but , it is not easy to surrender, and the second level will take a lot of time..."

Just as Chen Jing was thinking, suddenly there were a few piercing sounds behind him.

Hearing the voice, his complexion changed slightly, and when he turned his head to look, what caught his eyes were three things

A pen, a paperweight, and a jade basin!

The three things flashed past and disappeared into the darkness in the distance.

Seeing the disappearance of these three things, Chen Jing's face was a little cloudy.

………………

"This second level seems to be more straightforward than the first level..."

At the same time, after passing through the darkness, Qiu Yan came to a busy city.

There was a constant flow of people in front of him and behind him, and there were constant yells from both sides. Qiu Yan walked among them, and was greeted with blank eyes. Many people covered their mouths and noses and made expressions of disgust when they passed by him.

There was no other reason. At this moment, Qiu Yan was dressed in rags, his body was covered with dirt, and he was emitting a stench.

"Go, go! Where are the beggars!"

"Let's go! Don't affect my business!"

"Blocking my plaque, can you afford it if it gets dirty?"

……

The reprimands came one after another, but Qiu Yan just let it go, as if he was watching other people's sufferings with cold eyes. Even so, something unexpected happened soon

Hungry inside!

"This illusion is a little too real. I have been a soul body since I entered the forest. My soul is immortal. If I stick to my heart and prevent distracting thoughts, I won't feel too much, but this hunger is hard to dispel... ..."

Even if there is no physical body, as long as there is a feeling in the soul, that feeling is real.

After Qiu Yan smelled the scent wafting from the roadside shop, his hunger became stronger, but he couldn't get close.

Misfortune never comes singly.

Not long after, the sun was setting and the temperature was getting colder and colder. Qiu Yan only had one layer of unlined clothing on his body. Ten layers of unlined clothing were not as good as a layer of cotton. His limbs soon felt cold.

"Well, this second level is really weird. My soul body has lost the ability to change, just like a weak body."

The coldness gradually penetrated into the viscera, Qiu Yan's movements became more and more sluggish, and his stomach was rumbling, his physical strength had been exhausted for a long time, and his body was gradually exhausted, so he had to find a corner to curl up to keep the temperature and endure the hunger.

People pass by on the street from time to time, at most they just take a look at it, and no one says a word.

Suddenly, the door at the corner opened, and a shrew walked out, holding a rolling pin, and beating Qiu Yan, yelling, "Kill you beggar, you are nesting in front of my house. Let's destroy our family's fortune!"

After Qiu Yan entered the second pass, all his magical powers disappeared, and his body was weak, how could he let the rolling pin fall?Immediately dodged, and after being hit a few times, he escaped, and fell down at the end of an alley after a few steps, his body was bruised and purple, and his heart was in pain.

After a while, Qiu Yan couldn't help laughing out loud: "What a three-pass, I said in front of the old man that I want to eat when I'm hungry, I want to be warm when I'm cold, and I want to rest when I'm tired. To experience it for myself…”

Dragging his exhausted body, Qiu Yan sat up, sorting out the encounters in the future after going through illusions in his mind, and quickly grasped the key points, and had a general idea.

"The second level should also vary from person to person. It takes some insight to break through the illusion and get out, but I have no idea how to break through it. It seems that I will live here for a while..."

Click!

Qiu Yan was thinking about it when suddenly there was a breaking sound from all around, and three cracks appeared out of thin air, and then three things fell down!

Seeing the three things, Qiu Yan's pupils suddenly shrank!

"Spring and Autumn Brush, Wenzong Paperweight, Beiming Jade Basin!"

When he was surprised, the Wenzong paperweight suddenly flew up, and with a "bang", it made a crashing sound in mid-air, and then remained motionless, as if it had hit an invisible wall and was imprinted on it!

Then, fluctuations visible to the naked eye radiated from the edge of the paperweight, and went away in a blink of an eye. Wherever they passed, all the scenes stopped suddenly and stood still, as if time had stopped!

Immediately afterwards, the Beiming jade basin fell beside Qiu Yan, and there was the sound of gurgling water in the empty basin, as if there was a stream flowing, while the Spring and Autumn Brush came directly in front of Qiu Yan, floating in the air.

Looking at the pen in front of him, a flash of light flashed in Qiu Yan's mind, blessing to the soul, everything before and after suddenly became clear!

"Although I don't know the thoughts and purpose of the descendants of these three things, they are of great help right now!"

After saying this, Qiu Yan stood up, raised his hand to grab the Chunqiu pen, dipped the nib in the jade basin, then raised his hand to write down the pen, and actually wrote a word on the edge of the paperweight in the empty air

Where!
