TaiHao

The red gem was stuck on the door of the mechanism, and a halo of light enveloped Jiang Yuanchen, but nothing emerged from the mechanism. . .

"After all, I don't have the courage to take risks!" Jiang Yuanchen smiled bitterly. With a squeaking sound, the ruby's luster dimmed, and it no longer had any defensive capabilities. It also cuts off the possibility of them repeatedly using rubies.

Smart people like to think a lot. Maybe the first one is the mechanism where the poisonous gas is located? In that case, Jiang Yuanchen would cry to death if he opened the door to kill. Therefore, he chose stability the first time.

"Safe passage, no poisonous gas." The voice from above came faintly. Jiang Yuanchen secretly sighed, yes, there was a small chance that there was something wrong with the first mechanism, but he didn't dare to gamble!

"Forget it, let's take a look at the second mechanism!" Jiang Yuanchen suppressed his annoyance and concentrated on the second mechanism. If someone lost a ruby ​​because of the first mechanism, maybe they would choose to get it back at this time? So it is very likely that a poison gas trap will appear here? Even if they choose black stones in the first level, they may use their careless luck to appear in the poison gas trap in the second level. Of course, it is also possible that my tendency to overthink is used to set me up. …

Lin Zixuan lay on the stone plate, looking at the ruby ​​and trying his best to dig it out again. However, in the end, after spending a long time, I could only come to one conclusion: according to their current sealed state, they can only use nine gems to deal with nine mechanisms, and there is absolutely no way to use extraordinary power to make tricks.

"So, we are just some who have lived a few more years than ordinary people. Have we accumulated more wisdom?" Lin Zixuan thought of what Jiang Yuanchen said before and sighed: "Junior brother is right, many monks are just superior in strength. We are just mortals. Apart from the disguise of magical powers, what is left? Are these countless years just the power of magic? Then after losing the magic power, wouldn’t we be inferior to mortals? They are just a bunch of beasts!"

"However, at this moment, the judgment is made. According to the master's temperament, this is not a difficult situation." A calm voice sounded. Lin Zixuan’s guardian god spoke up. He was also suppressed by Dongtian and couldn't appear, but that didn't stop him from giving Lin Zixuan advice.

"Yes, when it comes to decisiveness, my junior brother is not as good as me! He must be struggling with how to choose now, right? He won't do it easily if he is not 70% sure!" Lin Zixuan's lips curled up: "Black!" Fill in the gems and turn the second mechanism. "Red!" Ouyang Yu.

Many people have started to make their own choices. But there are still many people who are struggling.

If you lose your magic power, what is left? Shouyuan! This is the most standard answer, but what else? What about your state of mind? After practicing for countless years, if you don’t have a firm Taoist heart that you should not die if the mountain collapses in front of you, and you immediately feel panic after losing your magic power, then where will the countless years of cultivation and cultivation be?

A female disciple from Hanyue Palace was panicking at this time. It’s hard to decide between the red and black gemstones in hand. After tearing off the mask of the saint and walking out of Bingzhou, without the support of everyone, what else do these pampered female nuns have?

"Hong..." The female cultivator's voice trembled, as she deeply understood how to cherish her life. Don't dare to take a chance.

"Black!" But she was also a female cultivator from Hanyue Palace. However, Yili didn't change her expression and chose her own answer. After all, she is an outstanding female disciple in Hanyue Palace, and she is also ranked high among the female cultivators in Kyushu. Going through strong winds and waves. Tianmen calamity, Yanzhou changes. Not comparable to her junior sisters who have never left Hanyue Palace.

…

On Jiang Yuanchen's side, Xuan Chen saw Jiang Yuanchen's brows furrowed and thought to himself: "This test tests your decisiveness, but it is also a toy with people's hearts. Just the layout of this closed stone house and the placement of incense candles around it can be said to be a kind of It implies pressure. But my lord has a stable heart and is not afraid of these things. The only thing to worry about is that my lord thinks too much, that’s all. Thinking too much will consume too much mental energy."

What's left after you lose your mana? Jiang Yuanchen closed his eyes, his state of mind, longevity, and for him, the most important thing is the accumulation of experience and knowledge for countless years, this is wisdom!

It's so sad to disappear into the mortal world after losing your magic power. Countless years always make people better than ordinary people in some aspects. This is cultivation, not the control of power, but the transformation of the whole. Transformation from the ordinary, transcending the ordinary, this is the immortal!

"Put yourself in their shoes. If I were the one who designed the organization, how would I design it?" Jiang Yuanchen asked softly.

Then, ask and answer yourself: "This is the test of Taishang Daozong, so there should be a standard answer. Otherwise, everyone's poisonous gas mechanism is different? So how to identify their character?"

"The entrance test, then it is absolutely impossible to arouse the suspicion of the tester at the beginning. If the disciples are frightened, can they pass the test? 'Tai Shang Zuo Wang' does not require the disciples to be ruthless and righteous . So, if the instrument of the innocent heart can definitely pass. Then, how will these innocent people choose?" Jiang Yuanchen changed his thinking mode with a thought.

With an innocent mind, would there be any doubts at the beginning? Will you immediately suspect that the first mechanism is poisonous? Because he is pure and kind, he will never think that the first agency is poisonous at first.

"So, even if the first mechanism is to introduce people and make people feel at ease, it must be a safe mechanism." Jiang Yuanchen thought mockingly. Therefore, "smart people" like him are actually the stupidest people! My thoughts are completely controlled by others!

"According to this kind of innocent thinking, after seeing the first one passing by with peace of mind, you will definitely continue walking with confidence. Then there should be no problem with the second one! There is no way that there is poisonous gas inside after the first one. Even if there is, it should be a sign of caution. Let it go slowly." Jiang Yuanchen pursed his lips and once again transformed his thinking into Tian Juezi's thinking mode. Tian Juezi is a true member of Tai Shang Dao Sect. He may have experienced this test before, so what will happen if he imitates his thinking?

Gradually, Jiang Yuanchen found the trick on his own.

…

Mu Qingyi holds a ruby. Also confused. There is a great terror between life and death. She is constantly weighing between the security agency and the gas agency, and her ideas are different. Probability, she calculated four possible situations. Poison and black, emptiness and black, poison and red, emptiness and red. In these four situations, it is enough as long as the poisonous gas does not touch the black gem.

"Then, there is a three-quarters probability that you can pass safely. If you also calculate the probability of the appearance of the poison and air traps, then choosing the black gem at the front has the highest chance of survival!" Mu Qingyi also chose the red gem first. , so I decisively filled both the second and third ones with black gems.

Safe passage! Mu Qingyi felt relieved, and now she still had six rubies in her hand. There are still six mechanisms left, no matter how you think about it, she passed safely!

…

"People with an innocent mind will definitely pass safely, so who can't pass?" Jiang Yuanchen's eyes shone, and he gradually understood the thoughts of the person who asked the question. Seeing this, Xuan Chen finally let go of his heavy heart. Although my lord is not a pure-hearted person, smart people always do what smart people do.

"There is a kind of person who will definitely not be able to pass this test. That is someone with a very bad character who dares not take any risks. From the beginning, he has been holding on to the ruby ​​​​and regarded it as his own life. Nine gems, seven red and two black, Then the remaining two mouths must be filled with black gems. But this kind of person has extremely bad character. He is definitely not the disciple successor that Taishang Daozong wants. He will definitely be eliminated here! In other words, the eighth or ninth There must be a poison gas mechanism!" Jiang Yuanchen thought from the perspective of Taishang Daozong.

Yes, Taishang Daozong wants to choose disciples. If those with extremely bad character are not willing to take any risks, use clean rubies for the first seven mechanisms. So wouldn't it be possible for them to pass safely through the remaining two entrances?

After determining the possible location of a poisonous gas, Jiang Yuanchen consciously drew out two red gems and placed them on the eighth and ninth mechanisms in advance. However, because the previous mechanisms were not open, the two mechanisms were not activated.

The first one is red, the eighth one is red, and the eighth one is red. This is Jiang Yuanchen's choice!

There are four red, two black, and six traps in his hand!

Continue to follow the thinking model of Taishang Daozong: "If the first one is not open to kill, it means that there is poisonous gas in a central agency? Because we want to protect those with innocent minds, there should be no problem with the second agency. Moreover, there are six mechanisms left, and it is impossible for the poison gas to appear on the second one so easily. Even if it is to guide everyone to relax their vigilance, it should be done later!" Jiang Yuanchen said to himself, picked up the black gem and filled it in The second mechanism!

Click——

The mechanism was still turning. Jiang Yuanchen looked calmly as he watched the mechanism open, but there was nothing!

"Safe passage!" The cold voice of the magic spirit came again.

"Ordinary people choose red at the beginning, but the second trap is still red. Then in the third level, they may choose black gems to break the game? Because they don't dare to gamble! But this time is still not the most frightening. When you are panicking!" Jiang Yuanchen continued to transform his thinking and used several thinking modes in succession.

"There should be no problem with the third one! If it was to guide others, the problem should have occurred with the fourth, fifth or sixth position in the center!" Xuan Chen was also analyzing calmly.

"Yes, what you think is what I think. But, I am too cautious! Even if I know that the possibility of the third mechanism being poisonous gas is very small, I will never gamble! And here, At that time, there were still six rubies left, and I had the confidence to be cautious! Because the seventh mechanism must be safe!" Then, Jiang Yuanchen also filled the third mechanism with rubies, and at the same time placed the black gem in the third mechanism. Seven inside. Of course, in this way, he had to fill three rubies on the four, five, and six openings.

Mu Qingyi used mathematical probabilities, Lin Zixuan really tried his best, and Jiang Yuanchen pondered the mind of the person who asked the question, and calculated all the possibilities they might face to ensure the greatest possible protection.

"Fifty percent, but even so, I'm only 50% sure!" Jiang Yuanchen still thought it was not enough, but he still turned on the mechanism at this moment. The third mechanism is safe!

"As expected." Jiang Yuanchen's expression did not change and he continued to open the fourth mechanism.

…

"This is impossible!" Wang Yu covered her throat, her face turned dark purple, and she stared at her fourth mechanism. Regret! He obviously still has five rubies left, why must he fill them with black gems at this time! If what he just filled in was a ruby. So is your current situation different?

The toxicity of the Eight Treasures Soul-Destroying Powder spread, and soon he collapsed on the stone plate. Only five rubies were still shining under the candlelight, and the four mechanisms he had filled in from one to four were red, black, and Red and black, so I happened to encounter the poison gas on the fourth one. Because the black gem has no protective effect, he can only let the poisonous gas melt his soul.

He was not the only one who was treated like this, there were also two casual cultivators who were also struggling underground. Three red gemstones. After struggling for a long time, they wasted three gems, so under inertial thinking, they thought that the fourth mechanism should be no problem. Then the poisonous gas emerged, and the souls of these people were swallowed up by the poisonous gas, leaving only a corpse slowly stiffening.

"It's passed!" The female cultivator from Hanyue Palace couldn't help crying when she saw this scene. The rest of your life! She grew up in the Ice Palace, where did she experience any turmoil? Under the attack of this dark room, his state of mind was worse than even that of a casual cultivator. The first three always chose red and did not dare to touch the black gemstone at all. One has to hope that both poisonous gases will appear in front.

…

In the fourth mechanism, a red halo fell on Jiang Yuanchen, and an eight-color poisonous gas escaped from the mechanism. When the halo was knocked down, it was bounced away, and then a large mouth opened from the roof of the stone chamber above, and then the poisonous gas was swallowed up by the large mouth. There is new air flowing in.

"The rest of the life after the disaster!" Jiang Yuanchen smiled slightly. In this way, if his calculation was good, he would pass the level.

The fifth and sixth mechanisms were pulled in succession, but all were blank.

"Among the seven, one must be poisonous gas. Are you really not afraid of traps inside?" Xuan Chen suddenly broke the silence again and poured cold water on him.

"Is it possible? Then, wouldn't those wastes be able to pass? Taishang Daozong is not that stupid!" Jiang Yuanchen's mouth turned cold. If he were a member of Taishang Daozong, he would never let those who choose seven rubies in one breath pass.

"This test is not difficult. Putting aside my complicated thinking, anyone with a bit of brains will guess that there is poisonous gas in the back, so the corresponding rubies need to be prepared in advance. But in the front, it only requires one adventure. Got it!"

Yes, it just takes an adventure. This is what Jiang Yuanchen realized after going through trials. He is a man who likes to be safe and does not want to take fearless risks. But the road to immortality is rugged and not always smooth sailing. After all, there are choices.

Seeing that his lord's Taoist heart was firm and finally broke through his mental confusion, Xuan Chen smiled with satisfaction: "With this Taoist heart, the soul can be achieved!" The two of them chatted and laughed, and opened the seventh mechanism.

…

"Ah——!" A female cultivator put aside the black stone in her hand and looked at the seventh mechanism in horror. Blank, still blank!

"Why! Why isn't it poisonous! Why didn't God favor me once! I have been able to cultivate to this point, and I am also a person blessed by great luck!" Panic-stricken and hysterical, she was the kind of fool Jiang Yuanchen said. A ruby ​​was wasted. Although she happened to get it right in the fourth level, she did not calm down and think about it later, but continued to entrust her fate to God. As long as she is willing to think about it, after grasping a glimmer of hope, it will not stop there.

The remaining two black gems were like reminders in her eyes. The dim light reflected the two gems in the corner. She didn't dare to pick up the gem until the lights went out.

In the darkness, a scream suddenly sounded, and there was no more life in the stone house.

He also used red gems to deal with it at the beginning, and he was also a person who did not dare to take risks, but this casual cultivator Kuang Zhiyan calmed down instantly after the fourth poison gas trap was opened. After careful consideration, he filled the sixth and seventh mechanisms with black gems, thus gaining life.

A series of nine twists and turns, tangled thoughts, and various forms of sentient beings, but that's all. It's just a life-threatening adventure, and not everyone has the decisiveness to do so. And not everyone can calm down in the aftermath of the disaster and judge the truth behind it.

"Forty-nine, it was indeed a senior from the Taoist sect who came up with the question. It's really a Taoist number!" Jiang Yuanchen didn't know the situation of others. After the seventh mechanism was blank, he passed the level safely with the help of two haloes and passed. The poisonous gas from the ninth organ.

"An adventure, or a calm reflection, this question is very simple. Maybe it can be used as an entry test for Xiaoyao Sect or Taixu Taoist Sect?" Jiang Yuanchen's thoughts began to wander again.

After the nine mechanisms, there was another round of stone disk rotation. Then the parts of the stone plate fell off piece by piece, revealing a small jade plate.

"Thousands of machine disks, ten thousand spiritual seals, arranged according to specific rules." As soon as the voice of the inherited magic spirit finished speaking, a new incense candle appeared out of thin air on the other side of Jiang Yuanchen, and Jiang Yuanchen immediately started to take action the moment the lamp was lit. .

This Thousand Machine Dial tests intelligence and knowledge, and is the easiest level for Jiang Yuanchen!

Just a quarter of an hour. Jiang Yuanchen completed the combination of talismans on the jade plate.

Boom——

The door of the stone house opened, Jiang Yuanchen breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his long whip and walked out of the stone house. He was sealed and cultivated the moment he entered the cave, but the magic weapon Zi Chen he held in his hand at the beginning was also forcibly shaped into a long whip by the power of the cave. With the bell wrapped around his waist, he walked out of the stone house calmly. Since it is an inheritance trial, everything is safe until the trial begins!

Supreme inheritance. Let me see what's in the third level!

Going out of the stone house, the light shines down. Only then did he see that he was at the foot of a mountain, and the stone house behind him was embedded in the mountain.

"Is this Qingxu Cave Heaven?" Jiang Yuanchen thought silently.

In the sky of Zixia Cave, the purple energy reaches the Yuan Dynasty, and a pure sun stands in the sky. But Qingxu Cave Sky is not like this either. It is just a series of black and blue clouds forming the sky. A sun and moon disk is just a light source.

But in his eyes, there seemed to be a problem with the cycle of the cave sky, and the Xuanqing Daoyun in the sky no longer seemed to be the pure color it was at the beginning.

"Junior brother! You're finally out!" The person Lin Zixuan was most worried about was Jiang Yuanchen, because this kid's thoughts were too complicated and he thought too much during this test. It's easy to go wrong. certainly. Lin Zixuan is confident that he can get out of the level, it is just a matter of time. But Lin Zixuan and Mu Qingyi both came out very early. Mu Qingyi, in particular, can almost be said to be the first monk to leave the Taoist sect. Just one step slower than Gu Yuan. Lin Zixuan was also the fastest among them, and he was a little anxious when he saw that Jiang Yuanchen didn't come out for a long time.

"Junior brother! Mr. Zhou probably didn't come in!" Lin Zixuan frowned and said: "The people who came in seemed to be human cultivators. Not to mention that ghost cultivators were excluded, you must have felt it too, right?"

"Yeah." The guardian gods of their Taixu Dao Sect were also suppressed by the special power of Dongtian, making it difficult for them to show up to protect them.

"Someone is coming out again!" A casual cultivator pointed to the door of the stone house in the mountain. One of the gates was open. A female cultivator stumbled and reluctantly held on to the door and walked out.

Deng Yan, a female disciple of the Haoran sect, is Ding Kai’s junior sister. Ding Kai quickly went over to support her, and the group of Taoists naturally divided into two groups. Taixu and Jingyang each formed a faction, while casual cultivators and demonic cultivators were also divided into two camps, naturally forming small groups.

After waiting for another long time, only twenty people showed up in the end. Three people from the Taixu Taoist Sect, three people from the Jingyang Taoist Sect, Hanyue Palace Yili and one of her fellow disciples, Zangyuan from the Chixiao Sword Sect, Ding Kai from the Haoming Sect and his junior sister, Moxiu Guyuan and his junior sister, The rest are seven casual cultivators.

"The first level tests your decisiveness and may defeat a large number of people, but the second level's talismans are easy for us disciples of the big sect to pass." There were five people around Jiang Yuanchen. People from the Chixiao Sword Sect and Haoming Sect were all around him.

Yes, for disciples like them from the big sects, those talismans and seal scripts are all explained in the sect, they just need to use them normally. But it's a tragedy for casual cultivators. If you don't come out for an hour, don't expect to continue to clear the level.

"The next level was indeed easier, but in the first level, my heart was broken at the end. It was all based on random guesses." Deng Yan, the female disciple of the Haoming Sect, looked miserable. At first, she didn't dare to take the risk of choosing black gems. She had always used red gems to get through the first six levels. At this time, she had one red gem and two black gems. After gritting his teeth, the seventh and eighth levels both contained black gems. Totally luck!

Dao's heart was broken. At that time, she completely gave up on herself. There was only a ray of light shining in the claustrophobic stone house. Amidst the surrounding environment and the oppression of life and death, she wanted to die and only wanted relief. Unexpectedly, he managed to successfully pass the two traps and avoid the poisonous gas with the last ruby. Then at the second level, I barely regained some confidence and walked out.

However, this is also expected by the seniors. Even the seventh mechanism in the last step is still viable as long as you are willing to work hard!

"But I always feel that something is wrong. It is obviously the inheritance test of Taishang Dao Sect, and there is obviously room for improvement in the mechanism, which shows the generosity of the senior Dao sect. But why did the Eight Treasures Soul-Destroying Powder appear?" Jiang Yuanchen couldn't help but ask. : "That kind of poisonous gas will give even real people a headache when they come. Taishang Daozong's handiwork is big enough!"

"Perhaps he knows that the people who come are all monks." Lin Zixuan nodded and said: "After all, how can mortals except monks understand the content of the second level?"

"That's what I said -" Jiang Yuanchen still felt a little strange. Moreover, none of the disciples of Qingli Temple came out. As a senior brother, could Wang Yu just die like this? )

ps: Another two-in-one chapter, tonight’s chapter is an extra chapter. Seeing how hard I have worked, why don’t you give me a monthly pass or subscription?
