Dao Fruit

at the same time.

In the hut in the palm of his hand, the old man's expression suddenly changed, showing surprise. Then he heard a "bang" and the whole hill shook.

Many Confucian scholars on the mountain were immediately frightened and seemed a little flustered, but they soon calmed down. After all, many of them had condensed their literary hearts. Even those who had not condensed their minds were already close. Although they had been trapped for a long time and their minds were distorted, they There is still some control over the state of mind.

However, the reason why they were panicking was that such changes had never happened in this mountain since they came here.

"What does such a change mean?"

"This has never happened. There must be a reason."

"Is it because of Qiu Yan? I heard that he was a scholar. He came here not to be assimilated and trapped by the scholars, but to explore the true meaning of the scholars."

…

When everyone was talking and making their own guesses, a vast artistic conception suddenly descended on the mountain and down the mountain. Above, in the dark space, a dazzling light flashed across, like a comet, heading towards the depths of darkness. !

"What's that?"

As the brilliance went away, the vast artistic conception dissipated, but the aftertaste left behind made everyone think about it. They were all people who had read books and had their own attainments in literature, so they could better appreciate the artistic conception. valuable.

"That artistic conception seems to be very consistent with my current temperament. It was just a quick realization that actually touched my heart and made me have the urge to splash ink."

"That's right, I feel the same way. It seems that from that artistic conception, I can find a way to calm the evil thoughts in my heart."

"I feel that my ideas that have been rigid for a long time have become active again. If I calm down and think, I will have the opportunity to condense my literary mind!"

Among the crowd, some people with quick reactions and excellent memories recalled their feelings just now and realized the opportunity. Some people turned around and headed towards their houses without caring about anything else.

In the bamboo forest, in the thatched hut.

The old man was sitting still, but there was a powerful thought filling the surroundings, which made all the thoughts in the air sluggish, giving him a feeling of depression and heaviness!

Even Zhao You's continuous loss of literary thoughts came to a halt because of this thought. However, Zhao You was not happy about it, but became more and more frightened. Because he was so close, he could clearly feel that the kind-faced man There is an undercurrent hidden in the old man, like a volcano about to erupt!

Facing this thought, Zhao You only felt how insignificant he was, as if he would be shattered to pieces if he was not careful, and he couldn't help but remain silent.

After a while, as the old man breathed out, the oppressive atmosphere dissipated. This made Zhao You feel relieved and fell into panic again - his literary thoughts were still being lost.

Suddenly, the old man raised his hand and grasped, and the thoughts around him immediately followed this action and rushed towards Zhao You, condensing his whole body, preventing the thoughts from flowing out.

"This..." Zhao You was stunned and looked at the old man with an incredible expression on his face. He then realized what he was doing and quickly gave the old man a big salute and thanked him, but he was very confused in his heart.

"I was hiding outside and heard Mr.'s secret. It was fine if he didn't kill me to silence me. Why did he try to save me?"

Just as his thoughts were ups and downs, the old man said: "You don't have to make blind guesses. The old man can stop the flow of literary thoughts, but treating the symptoms does not cure the root cause. From now on, you have to come here every month and let me perform the magic, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain. "

After hearing this, Zhao You's heart trembled, and then he realized why the old man didn't kill himself. It was clearly because he controlled his life and death.

The old man added: "This time you want to break the rules and take risks, and I won't hold you accountable. But if you don't do it next time, what you heard and saw..."

"Don't worry, sir, the students didn't hear anything, let alone see anything." Zhao You quickly expressed his position.

The old man was noncommittal and just said: "When you go back, you don't have to keep today's events in your heart. Just do whatever you want to do. Just go ahead."

"Yes." Zhao Youzhan left tremblingly, but after leaving the hut and the external pressure disappeared, he felt the heart-wrenching pain in his heart.

Freedom was right in front of him, but he missed it, and his years of literary thought were ruined, and his life and death were controlled by others.

Thinking of this, he was horrified.

"I used to use the name of the old gentleman to pretend to be powerful, but now I have to completely surrender and can no longer be independent. In this way... Speaking of which, since he has such cultivation, how can I not be caught by him when I am hiding outside? He found out, could all this be caused by his letting go? Then what is the purpose of this person..."

As he thought about it, the fear in Zhao You's heart became more and more intense. He realized that he could only live on thin ice in the future. Combined with the many encounters, he immediately felt that life was worse than death. However, he did not have the courage to face death, and he was suffering for a while. torment.

Not to mention Zhao You left, but in the thatched hut, the old man was still sitting quietly. Suddenly, the ground around him suddenly shattered!

Among the flying debris, the old man’s words came out——

"After all, I still can't hold it back. Having said that, how can I easily surrender my jealousy? When I was in my prime, I was proud of my knowledge, crossed the sea of ​​​​learning, traveled to the ends of the world, and came here to pass three levels, just because of a moment of negligence, I have been trapped in this place for nearly a thousand years. The people I met several times during this period were all misled by me, and their souls and thoughts accumulated in my body. If Qiu Yan is also trapped here..."

Thinking about it, he shook his head.

"However, Qiu Yan has insufficient accumulation after all. Even if he can pass the three levels, he will not be able to reach the final place. The scholarly aura in his body is thin. It is obviously his first time entering the forest. He will come back in the future..."

As this thought fell, the hut fell into silence again.

………………

On the other side, Qiu Yan, who was being talked about by the old man, was immersed in a strange feeling——

Qiu Yan's consciousness is filled with light. The light does not come from the sun, but from the spirits. However, these spirits are illusory and uncertain, have only their own form and cannot be absorbed by people.

Even so, Qiu Yan still got a lot of inspiration and gained something from it.

"These sage spirits undoubtedly originate from Sun Sheng, and that illusory tree should be the projection of the tree that belongs to Sun Sheng in the Shilin. I can detect and observe it. It is probably the second time I have passed through it." Guan's harvest has been achieved. Although the effect can't be seen now, after going back and deducing it carefully, you can..."

Just as he was thinking about it, his soul suddenly shook, and the light in his consciousness suddenly became brighter, making Qiu Yan feel like he was waking up. He changed his mind and his perception spread, and then he noticed that something was coming from somewhere around his soul. At the beginning, it was already filled with bright light, and the illusory street had long been shattered and disappeared, not even a single fragment was left.

Only the article he wrote remains.

Suddenly, a ray of light flew from a distance, stopped far away, turned into a suspended light group, and separated into a ray of light. It came to the front in a blink of an eye, combined with a paragraph of the article written by Qiu Yan, and then changed rapidly, and soon It almost formed a roll of bamboo slips.

The two words "honor and disgrace" are written on the bamboo slips, exuding vast ideas, faintly echoing and connected with Qiu Yanhun's "Encouragement to Study".

Seeing this scene, Qiu Yan was stunned for a moment, but before he could recover, another ray of light flew out of the distant light group. It was also combined with a paragraph from Qiu Yan's article, and then turned into a bamboo slip with the message " The word "correct name".

At this time, Qiu Yan finally realized what was happening in front of him. Feeling the heavy and solemn artistic conception emanating from the two bamboo slips, he felt a turmoil in his heart.

"'Honor and Disgrace' and 'Rectification of Names', these are two articles left by Sun Sheng, and the aura emanating from the bamboo slips is similar to the spirit of "Encouragement to Learning" that I condensed. Could it be that this is the spirit of the two volumes of sages? Is it possible to break through? In this second level, you can get two volumes of sage spirit?"

Just when Qiu Yan was surprised, a ray of light flew out from the radiance in the distance again, which was combined with the rest of the article to form the third volume of bamboo slips, with the words "Wang Ba" written on it.

Seeing this third volume of bamboo slips, Qiu Yan felt a little confused even though he was still in his soul body. The surprise in his heart was really hard to express.

The article "Wang Ba" was also written by Sun Sheng.

However, Qiu Yan finally condensed his soul and derived his original consciousness, so he calmed down, thought about it, and figured out the cause and effect: "It seems that writing with literary thoughts and breaking the illusion of the second level can obtain the corresponding sage inheritance. , and the specific article should be related to the article written. For example, my article involves three articles..."

Before Qiu Yan could finish his thoughts, another ray of light came flying towards him, but it was combined with the title of the article "Changing Nature to Be False" and turned into a chapter about "Evil Nature".

"Another roll?"

Before Qiu Yan could think about it, he heard a "boom", and the light group in the distance suddenly exploded, and several rays of light flew straight towards him, surrounding Qiu Yan, and then quickly condensed, revealing a roll of bamboo slips!

Qiu Yan's eyes suddenly widened in surprise, and then showed an expression of uncertainty.

With a quick glance, Qiu Yan saw a few familiar words on a scroll of bamboo slips——

"On Music", "Fu Guo", "Fei Twelve Sons", "On Heaven".

Counting the previous four volumes, the total is the spirit of the Eight Paths of Saints!

The articles represented by these names were all written by Sun Sheng. Qiu Yan had read some of the articles in classics and had a slight understanding of them, but he was not proficient in them. At this moment, he felt the aura emanating from the bamboo slips. , and immediately realized that it contained the true meaning of the article!

only……

"I haven't passed the three levels yet, so why are so many sage spirits revealed? Is it too weird? If I pass this level, I can get these inheritances. This harvest will be too rich. Is there anything strange in it?"

At first, Qiu Yan was inevitably pleasantly surprised, and then it turned into surprise. But after experiencing surprise and doubt, he was now only wary.

However, the eight volumes of sage spirit did not intend to leave him time to think carefully. After each appeared, they first revolved around Qiu Yan, and then moved in unison and charged towards the soul body!

Qiu Yan's heart suddenly tightened! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
