Text Chapter 354: Passing Three Levels, Leaving a Lifeline

Zhao You's attitude has changed significantly. He has lowered his posture and has a sense of equality. The jealousy and anger that originally filled his eyes have dissipated.

"I have offended you many times before. Please forgive me, Brother Qiu. In fact, it is not that I, Zhao You, am narrow-minded, but that I, Zhao You, have been trapped for hundreds of years and have difficulty in contacting the world of the world. I am inevitably irritable and have lost my normal nature and nature. Please don't take it to heart." ”

He spoke sincerely and looked regretful, as if he was really introspecting and wanted to resolve the misunderstanding with Qiu Yan.

However, Qiu Yan has the foundation of the inner demon body. Although he has not released the fragments of the inner demon at this time, he is very aware of other people's emotions. Knowing that Zhao You has calmed down after experiencing the surprise, he has restrained all his thoughts and emotions without leaking anything, so he let go of his anger. and jealousy disappeared.

However, this does not mean that the other party has given up the malice in his heart. On the contrary, this performance reflects Zhao You's control over his emotions and state of mind, indicating that his malice towards Qiu Yan has not only not disappeared, but has become stronger.

If there was no ghost in my heart, why would I restrain all my 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 do not think of these, they will be fooled.

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

"What Zhao You did before is considered enmity with me. He also understands this, so he won't 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 horror in Zhao You's heart, so he naturally knew how to deal with it.

After walking around and talking, the two re-entered the bamboo forest. Zhao You had hidden agendas, but Qiu Yan followed the trend and used words to make insinuations to understand the situation and collect intelligence.

While chatting, Qiu Yan pretended to be unintentional and asked, "I wonder who the old gentleman in that room is?"

Zhao You shook his head and said: "Zhao has been here for nearly three hundred years. As soon as he arrived here, Mr. Zhao was already sitting in the house. He has never left the house in these hundreds of years, and he doesn't talk much on weekdays. Yes. No one knows his origin, but he is very knowledgeable and talented, and Zhao and others have often been taught by him. If he can come out of this place, he will be treated as a distinguished guest no matter which country he is from. "

"Oh? It seems that you 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 for hundreds of years, you have only been trapped in a corner? "

Zhao You shook his head and replied: "That's not true. There is a cave at the top of this mountain. There is a cave in the sky. It is no different from the world in the sun. It is just an illusion. It can relieve temporary worries, but it cannot calm the uneasiness in my heart."

"Illusion that is the same as the world of the sun? That is an illusion. Illusions are made up of thoughts and can confuse the mind. However, if you know in advance that it is a structure of thoughts, no matter how happy you live in it, it is just self-deception."

After thinking about it, Qiu Yan nodded and asked: "Speaking of which, you have been trapped for a long time. Have you ever thought about getting out of the trap? Is there any way to get out?"

Hearing this question, Zhao You's state of mind fluctuated suddenly, and even the emotional fluctuations could not be completely locked. They leaked a little, but he was quickly controlled.

However, just the emotional fluctuations revealed in this moment were enough for Qiu Yan to capture and find some clues from it——

Zhao You's mood swings were mixed with anger and jealousy, but in addition, there was also a forcibly suppressed ecstasy, and a vague urge to take action at any time.

This aroused Qiu Yan's vigilance.

At the same time, Zhao You showed a look of loneliness, sighed, looked like he had gone through many changes, and said in a low tone: "This is also fate. Being trapped here, if there are no accidents, it is estimated that we will not be able to survive until the soul is destroyed." Maybe he left, and besides, even if he left, hundreds of years have passed, and his body has long since decayed, and he can only enter the underworld..."

As he said that, he shook his head and glanced at Qiu Yan: "We can't compare to Brother Qiu. Brother Qiu, you have not been assimilated by the scholars. You are here just like the great Confucians in ancient times, who came to explore the true meaning of the scholars. Once you are three If you can pass the test, you can return immediately." As he said this, he showed envy.

Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, analyzing the authenticity of the other party's words, and said at the same time: "That said, it is not easy to think through the three levels."

"Of course, I have only heard of the name of the Three Passes, but I don't know what it really means. I heard that ten people entered the pass and there were less than one or two left, but there is always hope. It's nothing like us!" At this point, he added Shaked his head.

Qiu Yan fell silent, analyzed and summarized, and gradually came up with some clues.

"Zhao You doesn't know that I came here unexpectedly and has no idea or understanding of the so-called "Three Levels of Passing", so his words are most likely not false. In other words, that person who doesn't know the content of "Three Levels of Passing Through" should be able to I left here, but the emotional fluctuations Zhao You just revealed 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 can teach me a lesson, or he may think that he has an opportunity to leave here. No matter which one it is, it has something to do with me, so you must pay careful attention."

In his thoughts, the thatched hut was already in front of him, so Zhao You stopped talking.

Qiu Yan came up with some clues: "The current situation is gradually becoming clearer. Since there is a way to leave, let's try the so-called three levels first. If the soul of flesh and blood is trapped here, it will be lucky, but we must always strive for one." Fan, if you can use this to learn more about the secrets, it will also be helpful to the other two bodies. In addition, you must pay careful attention to Zhao You..."

With this thought, 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, after saluting , turned around and left without staying for a moment.

Only after close observation did Qiu Yan notice that the old man was actually older than he thought.

"How? Have you thought about it clearly?"

After Qiu Yan sat down, the old man closed his eyes and asked, but before Qiu Yan could answer, he waved his hand and said: "Yes, it has been so long that I almost forgot the rules. Before you make a decision, I have to first Let me tell you clearly about the dangers of the three levels so that you can be aware of them. "

This answer was somewhat beyond Qiu Yan's expectations, but naturally he would not stop him. At this stage, the more things related to the three levels, the better.

"I can't tell you directly what the three levels are, but I can tell you the dangers involved."

He paused, lowered his voice, and said: "The dangers of the three levels are, first of all, there is no turning back. You can only move forward, not back. Once you decide to break through the level, there is no way back. If you don't advance, you will lose!"

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

Immediately afterwards, the old man continued: "The three levels are extremely difficult. It's not that they are difficult to pass, but they are elusive. It is possible to go through hardships, but because of an inadvertent action, the decision will fail. And after failure, the end will be even more miserable, far beyond the ordinary." People imagine.”

Corresponding to these words, a cold aura emerged from the ground and spread over Qiu Yan. Qiu Yan immediately realized that this was a ray of thought that made up the hut, containing the fear of the unknown and the hope of failure. fear.

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

On the other side, the old man said, and suddenly raised his hand and pointed outside: "You must have seen here, these many Confucian scholars have been assimilated by the scholars, and their consciousness and will should have been shattered by the entire scholar world and turned into little bits and pieces. , blending into it, no longer oneself, but everything has a glimmer of hope, and the hill where Lao Chen is located is the place where their souls exist, it is that glimmer of hope.”

Qiu Yan did not interrupt and just waited quietly. He knew that the old man would not mention this without reason.

Sure enough, the old man then continued: "If you give up breaking through the pass, you can stay here and avoid the narrow escape of death in the three passes. Although it is difficult to get out, you can keep your soul immortal. There is a fantasy world in this mountain, which is no different from the earthly world. Second, in this mortal world, there is no difference between what is true and what is false, what is true and what is false, what is true and what is false.”

These few words of his were spoken with a peculiar rhythm, his voice was slightly trembling, and he had a kind of moisturizing and silent artistic conception.

Although Qiu Yan was always vigilant, it was still unavoidable. The thought of seeking peace and quiet arose in his mind. From Hongchen's true and false words, he tasted the principles of human nature and had a vague understanding!

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

In an instant, he seemed to have seen the gentle village, felt the warmth of home, saw his uncle, aunt, and a group of relatives calling him. Even his long-dead father Qiu Zonglin and mother Liu showed their bodies and walked towards him. .

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

But deep down in my heart, a little enlightenment gradually emerged, as if I was about to understand the true meaning of reality and reality!

"Everything in the world seems to exist, but in fact it is illusory. Their meaning is only to generate corresponding emotions, consciousness and memory in people's hearts. When you see them and think about them, they are meaningful to you. , if you don't look at them, and there are no corresponding concepts in your mind, they don't exist. This is true or false, it's actually the same thing, why bother to be rigid?" Although the old man closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see Qiu Yan. Expression, smile and nod.

But at this moment, Qiu Yan suddenly trembled, shook his head, a look of determination appeared in his eyes, and his thoughts condensed into a sword in his soul!

Hui Jian!

The sword light is cold and the sword body is tough.

The old man's smile suddenly froze. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
