After Waking up Beside the Villain

    As far as the eye can see, except for a straight and rugged mountain road, there are only thick white fog and lead clouds that completely cover both sides of the mountain road.

    Looking at the front that was hidden in the clouds and mist, the end point and the blessing and disaster were far away, he subconsciously had a kind of hesitation and hesitation in his heart.

    All kinds of unpredictable and dangerous scenes appeared over and over in his mind, as if he would be torn to pieces by the wind blade, or the thunder and lightning of the gods would come. He was split into charcoal, or the nameless fire of purgatory spewed out from under his feet, burning him to ashes.

    The indescribable panic instantly surrounded Chu Yunsheng's body and mind, covering his mouth, nose and eyes like lumps of airtight mud, making him feel a strong sense of drowning in a swamp despair.

    His breath suddenly stagnated, and his chest heaved violently.

    I don't know when, Chu Yunsheng's footsteps on the mountain road have slowed down, and even stopped, like an invisible hand wrapped in a vortex, blocking him from moving forward, pushing Back him up, back to where he came from.

    "It's not like me..."

    Chu Yunsheng looked ahead and whispered suddenly.

    All people have emotions and desires, and fear and cowardice, which cannot be eradicated.

    But many times, in order to accomplish something and achieve something, you must be sober and fearless.

    This is what Chu Yunsheng understood long ago. If he didn't even understand this, he probably wouldn't be standing in this part of the world.

    The meaning of retreat and cowardice only lasted for a few breaths, and then quietly faded from Chu Yunsheng's mind. As the mind suddenly became clearer, the mist that covered the mountain road ahead seemed to dissipate a little, and a huge shadow of the bronze porch was faintly drawn.

    Chu Yunsheng looked up and continued climbing.

      What a difference.

    He didn't think that the climb to the sky that Shangqingshan specially used to test Qianlong cards would be so simple, so even with the passage of time and the difficulty of the mountain road, he was already a little exhausted, and he never let go Vigilance in mind.

    There was no change in the morning and evening on the way to the sky, but Chu Yunsheng calculated the number of steps he had taken, and estimated that about two days and three nights had passed.

    During this period, every 100,000 steps he took, he would take a short rest and meditate for a while to restore his spirit and aura and relieve fatigue. And this cycle of progress and rest, he has done too many times. But the road ahead is still foggy as always.

    Gradually, a suspicion grew uncontrollably in his heart—

    Maybe he got lost on this road, has gone in the wrong direction, and will never reach the end;

    Maybe he is destined to be unable to rely on his own strength to see the front clearly, which also shows that most monks are always eager for improvement in their lives, but they also always know that they have come to this point and can only consume in vain With Shouyuan, I can only feel sad, hopeless and sad...

    He sat cross-legged on the side of the mountain road, from a state of meditation to a lazy slack that lost his strength, and the boundless negativity drowned him like a silent tide. In the dazed comfort that floated slightly, he heard a distant and illusory voice.

    "However, I know that your cultivation is low and difficult, so anyone who has passed a hundred paces in the sky can stop retreating. Anyone who has passed a hundred paces, the aptitude and chance are all in the way of my superiority. You can get in, and you don't have to worry about losing..."

    Chu Yunsheng suddenly opened his eyes.

    "How to choose between the unknown future and the foreseeable arrangement, whether to go on the unseen future... This is like a person is destined to die, so whether a person's life is meaningless, It's a ridiculous question."

    "But it is also an ancient problem."

      Casual, but the moment his voice landed, the trace of laziness disappeared.

    All confusion and hopelessness were swept away from his eyes.

    "Fear, negativity, laziness... all of which are the weaknesses of human nature."

    Swept away the decadent inertia, Chu Yunsheng returned to normal again, got up and continued on his way.

    He analyzed the experience of the two levels just now, and had some guesses about this road to heaven.

    Meanwhile.

    On the same long road to the sky, in different cloud and mist shadows, there are seven other figures walking or resting like Chu Yunsheng, a total of four men and three women.

    Some of them were terrified, as if they were trapped in a nightmare of death, unable to break free, some were sweating, described as embarrassed, looking at the road when they came and the endless front slowed down , eyes are now confused, as if in some kind of struggle.

    A small number of the seven people have also reached the second level, and in their ears, the illusory voice gradually sounded.

    "You can stop, you can step back, as long as you pass the first 100 steps, you will pass the border and you will be able to enter the mountain gate... But there must be more benefits if you continue to move forward, otherwise the road to the sky will just end, Why should there be another announcement..."

    "I can leave this hell...but am I really willing?"

    "I'm too tired, I can't hold on, this rule is just to relieve my suffering... But maybe it's just part of the test..."

    Facing this voice, everyone had their own reactions, some swayed and hesitated, and some gritted their teeth.

    Above their heads, an endless sea of ​​fog and clouds shrouded a road that was half illusory and half solid.

    There are two outer door elders in charge of monitoring standing under the bronze porch, occasionally glancing into the fog below.

    One of the outer sect elders looked at the figures struggling on the foggy road, and said with a smile: "This Jiazi's Qianlong brand disciples are all well-qualified. It is rare that no one retreats..."

    Another elder said: "If they don't know that retreating will make them lose the Qianlong card and lose the hidden care given by the sect in the future, they can give up immediately, but they have some Taoism."

    "After all, they are all 'young dragons' selected by the Qianlong card..."

    Speaking, the elder suddenly paused, glanced at the other elder, lowered his voice, and said with a bit of a strange meaning: "Feng Daoyou, recently about this Jiazi Qianlong disciple. A rumor, I wonder if you've heard of it..."

    The smile on Elder Feng's face was instantly full of gossip, and he said, "Young Daoyou Wang also heard about it? Speaking of which, when the rumor first came out not long ago, I also saw the headmaster in a hurry. I went to the mountain behind the punishment hall, but when I left, I was filled with joy and sorrow."

    "It appears-"

    The two inner sect elders looked at each other and smiled, and then focused their eyes and consciousness on the way to the sky, as if to distinguish what they were looking for.

    Even if there is a little guess about the road to the sky, Chu Yunsheng's cultivation realm can't do anything, and he can only be more targeted and cautious when moving forward.

    As if to confirm Chu Yunsheng's guess, then he was continuously tested by greed, jealousy and lust.

    What makes Chu Yunsheng rather strange is that this way to the sky seems to be able to vaguely sense his emotions—

    His greed was magnified into a paranoid monopoly on a man with a vague and familiar face who looked like Yin Zheng, and an endless crazy exploration of certain research. After his jealousy was magnified, he saw Yin Zheng join hands with others, declaring to himself that that was the love of his life.

    And his **** is that several worlds, for hundreds of years, have intertwined their limbs every night, and their skin is close to each other.

    Those are gentle, affectionate, hot, uncontrollable, unable to extricate themselves.

    But all of this, for Chu Yunsheng, is not so much a test as it is to see himself again.

    In the accumulation of memories that are very different from life to life, in the complicated entanglement with another person time and time again, anyone can get lost.

    Chu Yunsheng is no exception.

    So he often examines himself and makes clear what he thinks.

    He is very clear that his exploration of certain fields is endless but limited, anything without limits will only bring bad results, and for Yin Zheng, it is to accompany rather than Monopoly is to give freedom rather than restriction, it is a desire arising from love and responsibility, not the temptation of beauty and youth.

    These three tests are like a mirror, allowing him to see his own thoughts and cognitions more clearly.

    So in these three levels, he almost never stopped, so he walked over soberly.

    Soon, Chu Yunsheng saw the complete outline of the bronze porch ahead and the two figures there, and also saw the distance of the last mountain road. This means that he is about to pass the test of the road to the sky and officially worship Shangqingshan.

    This power was extremely cold, and almost immediately after entering the body, Chu Yunsheng felt that his soul and body would be completely frozen. His foundation-building consciousness, which was deeply hidden in the soul, was affected by this power, and could no longer be suppressed, and it would burst out immediately.

    A disciple on the first level of Qi Refining has a spiritual consciousness that can only be found in the Foundation Establishment period. You don’t need to think about it to know that there is a problem.

    What's more, this foundation-building consciousness is still cultivated by the original magic cultivation method, and it has the atmosphere of magic cultivation. If it is really pulled out, I am afraid that the two figures in front will immediately A spell came over.

    The crisis was suddenly triggered without warning, and the foundation-building consciousness was only exposed in an instant.

    But his expression did not change much, as if he was just enduring an inexplicable cold attack.

    However, Chu Yunsheng found that this power was still wandering in his soul and dantian after his divine consciousness self-destructed, as if he was still investigating something and did not relax.

    At this moment, in the depths of the clouds and fog that no one could see, a small orange cat hair quietly descended from the sky and landed in Chu Yunsheng's hair. .

    The warmth returned, and the force that brought the cold quickly subsided.

    Chu Yunsheng opened his eyes with emotion, but he did nothing.

    One of the taller monks nodded slightly to him, signaling him to continue to leave here, and then it would end.

    When he passed through here and was about to leave the bronze porch, he heard a faint voice from behind: "He's the fastest, do you think it's him... Also, the age may not be right …”

    Chu Yunsheng guessed who these two Shangqingshan elders were looking for.

      The house where the disciples rested was also closer.

    There is an open space in front, and there is a rock near the bronze porch. A thin young man in a smoky blue inner disciple uniform holds a jade slip and leans against the rock without standing. He seems a little bored .

      They are all good brothers and sisters. When it comes to work, they are all thinking about making arrangements for your good brothers and sisters... On such a hot day, you should sit in the cave and set up a clear heart, blowing a cool breeze, Eat the little spirit fruit, and take a look at Bai Xiaosheng's spring opera pictures..."

    Wang Pei clapped the palm of his hand with the jade slip one after another, scatters his thoughts endlessly, and yawned sleepily.

    Wang Pei stopped knocking on the jade slip, and almost forgot to close his mouth.

    He looked down at the time in the jade slip with some suspicion, then raised his head and looked at the young man walking in front of him with the same suspicion, and couldn't hold back: "This is only the third day, right? You? Why did you come out so soon?"

    Wang Pei did not suspect that Chu Yunsheng was not a Qianlong disciple, or that he quit halfway, because in those two cases, he would not come out from the bronze doorway.

    Chu Yunsheng saw Wang Pei's reaction and knew that he came out too early, and might even break some records and common sense. He didn't explain anything, but simply asked: "This senior brother, is three days fast?"

    Wang Pei opened his mouth, stared at Chu Yunsheng for a while, and said, "Soon...but it's not the fastest, you should be able to rank in the top five in this thousand, and the remaining four , Except for the fallen one, the remaining three are already the elders of the inner door of the sect. Some are the masters of the first peak in the door, and some are stationed outside... You boy, as long as you practice well in the future, your future is limitless. what."

    Wang Pei looked at Chu Yunsheng and sighed, as if he saw a spiritual genius rising, so he decided to show the amiable side of an inner brother.

    Turning the corners of his mouth, Wang Pei smiled at Chu Yunsheng with a bright and friendly smile, and said in a very kind and warm tone: "Junior brother, the road to the sky is over, the next step is to assess the choice of where to go, you decide Where can I sign up? Brother, my name is Wang Pei, from Danfeng…”

      You need several spiritual stones to go outside... When you can make alchemy yourself, the spiritual stones will be like snowflakes, swishing into the storage bag..."

    Chu Yunsheng suddenly had the illusion of returning to the modern age and facing the salesman at the sales office.

    But he is destined not to go to Danfeng to get involved with Xiao Ni.

    So without waiting for Wang Pei to continue his enthusiastic promotion, Chu Yunsheng said, "Thank you Brother Wang, Dan Feng is very good, but I have already signed up for the Item Refining Hall."

    Wang Pei's enthusiasm came to an abrupt end: "You actually like to strike iron, alas... But you haven't been assessed yet, you can change it."

    He hinted at Chu Yunsheng, but Chu Yunsheng smiled lightly and shook his head.

    Wang Pei couldn't figure out how anyone would like to go to the Refining Hall to be poor and poor, and would not want to come to Danfeng to refine pills elegantly and make a fortune. But Chu Yunsheng had already made a choice. He didn't have to be **** others, he was just a little confused and disappointed.

    After briefly introducing Chu Yunsheng about the assessment of the Item Refining Hall, Wang Pei asked: "You also came by coincidence, the other places haven't come today, but the Item Refining Hall and Danfeng are not. The assessment has already started. Do you plan to take a day off before going to the assessment, or go now?"

    "It's better now."

    Chu Yun said, and looked at Wang Pei again: "I have something to trouble senior brother. Also, please don't mention to other beginner disciples that I walked the road to heaven in three days."

    Wang Pei was slightly surprised, and then suddenly smiled: "It seems that you are still a low-key. It is better to be low-key. In the world of self-cultivation, low-key can live long enough."

    For Wang Pei, this kind of thing is absolutely necessary, he did not hesitate, he agreed to Chu Yunsheng's request, and then pointed out a way for Chu Yunsheng to go to Lian The examination site of Qitang.

      The number of examiners was extremely large, and they lined up in two teams to walk to the stone platforms around Danding to participate in the assessment, which formed a sharp contrast with the desertedness in front of the stone house.

    Chu Yunsheng glanced at Dan Ding, and found Xiao Ni with a calm face and hatred in the corner.

    He followed Xiao Ni's line of sight, and sure enough, he saw Shan Rourou being surrounded by two handsome male disciples.

    Chu Yunsheng wanted to warn Danfeng about the assessment, but the current situation made it difficult for him to find a chance.

    Chu Yunsheng calmly retracted his gaze, walked to the stone house, and bowed slightly to the closed-eyed old man: "Elder, I'm here to participate in the assessment of the Refining Hall."

    The elder did not open his eyes, but said slowly: "Come to participate in the assessment of my Item Refining Hall, why did you just look at Danfeng?"

    As if not feeling the stingy dissatisfaction from this elder at all, Chu Yunsheng replied indifferently: "Watch the fun."

     Hearing this, the elder opened his eyes and looked at Chu Yunsheng for a while, half amused and half surprised, but he didn't see any disobedience on his face, so he smiled: "You The answer suits the old man's taste. Go in, choose any refining room, and you can pass the test by refining a first-order mid-grade magic weapon within three hours."

    Chu Yunsheng has long known that the assessments in Shangqing Mountain are practice, and he is not surprised. He still has a little bit of Demon Venerable foundation for the way of magic, so refining a first-order magic weapon is not a problem.

    Handing the Qianlong card to the old man, Chu Yunsheng pushed the door and walked into the stone house.

    After entering the door, Chu Yunsheng knew how the old man said "Choose a refining room" when faced with such a small stone house. A magic tool or spiritual tool, the inner space is the size of a square, and there are dozens of doors in a row, all of which are refining rooms.

    But Shangqingshan, and the entire cultivation world, the refining tools are quite declining, so these dozens of refining rooms only welcomed him to participate in the assessment.

      Metal gem.

    Chu Yunsheng looked around and determined the item to be refined.

    Outside the stone house, after Chu Yunsheng entered the examination, Yuan Dongshan, who was invigilating the place, stared at the Qianlong card in his hand and started to stop.

    After a moment, he came back to his senses, and there was still a little disbelief in his eyes.

    He knew that the Qianlong disciples were the candidate seeds for the inner door in the future, he also knew when the Dengtian Road would open, and he knew what kind of future he might have after walking out of the Dengtian Road in three days, so he Very puzzled.

      The genius, how come to their Refining Hall?

    "This is probably a real love for refining."

    Yuan Dongshan sighed sincerely.

    Just as he was thinking about the genius choice here, a muffled sound suddenly came from the stone house, like something suddenly exploded.

    Yuan Dongshan was startled, and suddenly got up and looked at the stone house, for fear that this newly acquired genius would die young.

    But the stone house is his spiritual tool, he can sense some changes in the interior, and perceives that Chu Yunsheng seems to have just blown up a furnace, protected by formations and inscriptions, without any damage, He hesitated again and sat down again.

    Just in case, Yuan Dongshan separated a ray of consciousness and focused on the changes in the stone house.

    Not long after, another fryer sound came.

    Yuan Dongshan's eyebrows twitched, and he remained calm.

    Half an hour later, with a bang, the stone house of the fourth-order spiritual tool seemed to tremble slightly.

    Yuan Dongshan stroked his beard, looked at his stone house, a hint of distress flashed on his face, and at the same time he was a little confused about what Chu Yunsheng was practicing.

    An hour later, a loud noise came, the wall of the stone house swelled, and there were a few eyes on the opposite Danding, as if they heard the movement here.

    Yuan Dongshan sat upright and pretended not to hear anything.

    An hour and a half later, the ground shook with the surrounding trees, and the inscription on the outer layer of the stone house lit up slightly.

    Yuan Dongshan’s face twitched, and he began to calculate how many times these inscriptions and formations could last, whether to repair them, and how many spirit stones it would cost to repair: “What the **** is this kid practicing? What is it? The spiritual tool is not as big as him, and it has been bombed so many times, so he can't make it... If it really can't be refined, should he let him pass it, or let him pass it reluctantly?"

    Two hours later, the loud noise was like thunder, and it was so dull and thrilling.

    And above the stone house, there seems to be a faint gathering of thunder, which is invisible.

    Yuan Dongshan's futon felt like a needle was stuck on it, and he couldn't sit still.

    As three hours approached, a thunderous sound suddenly sounded.

    Yuan Dongshan raised his eyes suddenly, and saw a bolt of lightning as thick as a log hit the roof of the stone house, which was quickly absorbed and dispersed by the stone house.

    "This time it's not a fryer, it's a thunderbolt, it's the breath of a catastrophe... This kid, no, this genius actually made a top-quality magic weapon?"

    Yuan Dongshan was full of surprises.

    Whether it is a magic weapon, a magic weapon, a magic weapon or a magic weapon, the general low-grade, middle-grade and high-grade are easy to obtain, only the best refining conditions are extremely harsh, and also pay attention to a certain fate and fit , it is difficult to find, so even if it is only a first-order top-quality magic tool, it is much stronger than ordinary second-order magic tools, and its value is also high.

    Yuan Dongshan immediately attributed all the fryers before Chu Yunsheng to the genius style of excellence, and didn't care anymore.

    Hearing the sound of exclamation and discussion coming from Danding on the opposite side, Yuan Dongshan was a little happy, and immediately got up to meet Chu Yunsheng who came out of the stone house door.

    In the mood of raising his eyebrows and showing off to Danfeng, Yuan Dongshan raised his voice not deliberately, and asked Chu Yunsheng: "The assessment is over, look at this movement, you should be Refined into a first-order top-quality magic weapon?"

    Chu Yunsheng nodded: "Yes."

    A slight inhalation sound came from Danfeng.

    Yuan Dongshan was very satisfied, continued to stroke his long beard, and asked kindly, "What are you practicing?"

    Chu Yunsheng took an orange thing out of the storage bag and replied, "A cat litter box that can automatically clean cat buttocks and shovel shit."

    Yuan Dongshan's hand trembled as he stroked his beard, and pulled off a lot of whiskers - a cat, a cat litter box? What kind of evil thing is that motherfucker!

    At this moment, a cold voice like jade struck, breaking the strange silence of the assessment office.

    "It was your idea that he came to test the refining device?"

    Yuan Dongshan shivered inexplicably while clutching the fallen beard.
