Dao Fruit

The old man did not respond to this statement, but shook his head and said: "Those people outside the house have no deep friendship with you. Why did you give up your own way of life because of those people? Could it be that you didn't see that that group of Confucian scholars were trapped for hundreds of people?" Years ago, the will has already been twisted?"

"All those people want is to leave here," Qiu Yan looked at the old man and said calmly, "When hungry, they want to eat, when they are cold, they want to be warm, when they are tired, they want to rest, and they love benefits but hate harm. This is how humans are born. Yes, as you just said, human nature is only evil and selfish. If they are trapped, of course they want to escape. This is understandable, right? "

When Qiu Yan said these words, his heart suddenly shook, and he felt a mysterious feeling passed over him, vaguely connected to his soul, and the scene of an ancient vine tree emerged in his consciousness.

But this mysterious feeling was interrupted by the old man's laughter——

"When you are hungry, you want to eat; when you are cold, you want to be warm. This is what Sun Sheng said. Since you also understand this truth, you should know that what you do is unnecessary. Only things that are beneficial to others will they remember. If you don't tell them, they won't know what you did in the house today. The reason why people do good things is because they want others to praise them. Most of them are hypocrites. Sun Sheng once said that good people are hypocrites. "

Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes and responded: "The original meaning of the word 'hypocrisy' is not hypocrisy, but refers to 'man-made', so in this word, the left side is 'person' and the right side is 'wei'. Human nature is evil, and its Good people are hypocritical, which does not mean that kind people are hypocritical, but that it is precisely because human nature is evil that they pursue goodness. Nature comes from nature. People cannot create nature, but they can improve it. Otherwise, why would we establish order? Order is only the law of the jungle."

Speaking of this, the state of mind that had just calmed down became clearer and clearer, the red color in his soul became more intense, and his consciousness tended to condense, and the remote sensing of the ancient tree became clearer, allowing Qiu Yan to gradually make guesses.

Then, he changed the topic: "However, it is natural to act. The reason why Your Excellency told so many lies and wanted Qiu to go out and kill all the souls of the Confucian scholars on the mountain is probably also out of nature. It is for your own plan. You …”

As he spoke, Qiu Yan looked around a few times and said: "You must be trapped in this room and have difficulty getting out, right?"

As soon as he said this, the old man's expression suddenly changed.

Qiu Yan was still minding his own business and said: "Shilin relies on human nature. Even if it is dangerous, there is still vitality. The dark side of Shilin is likely to be the vitality of the assimilated people. By extension, the founder established the Corporal Lin, it’s probably not for people to die here. He probably has the idea of ​​​​training the next generation, and he will definitely leave a way out. You once said that you will survive three levels and nine deaths, this life may be the way out..."

Having said this, he lowered his voice: "If I listen to you and cut off other people's way of life, I wonder what will happen?"

At the same time, Qiu Yan had already walked up to the old man, and he calmed down his expression: "To take a step back, since the content of the three levels is unknown, an inadvertent decision will fail. In this case, maybe I will leave this hut. It’s possible that I will fail. After all, you didn’t give me a clear indication. How can you let me know that I am really going through the level and passing it?”

After saying this, the room fell into silence.

After about ten breaths, the silence was broken by the old man. He sighed: "Since you have discovered it, I have nothing more to say. I can only congratulate you." There was a hint in his words. A sense of vicissitudes of life.

After finishing speaking, the old man took a deep breath, and then slowly opened his eyes.

In an instant, the light in the room became distorted!

I saw that there were no whites or pupils in the two eyes of the old man. Instead, there were two whirlpools that were constantly rotating, releasing a mysterious artistic conception. However, the directions of rotation in the two eyes were different. One eye was clockwise. The other one is counterclockwise.

Different directions of rotation gave Qiu Yan different feelings. When he looked over, the old man's left eye gave him a feeling of being sucked in, while the other eye gave him a feeling of rejection. It seems that I am about to be separated from this world.

"This is……"

"These old eyes are the proof that you have passed the first level. You have proved yourself with actual performance. You are not only brave, but also resourceful. You have not flinched due to the fear of the unknown, nor have you been carried away by pride. You have not been carried away by reason. He committed the crime at the instigation of others and was not confused by disorder, so he passed the first test. "

"The first level?" Qiu Yan's heart skipped a beat, "So, the first level and the second level you just said were all lies?"

The old man nodded and said with a smile: "However, walking out of this room will not make you a failure, but once you kill his soul, it will trigger the Shilin ban. At that time, you will not fail, but you will have to bear the punishment of the entire Shilin. Being able to recognize this clearly proves your judgment. What is before you now..."

Before the other party could finish what he said, Qiu Yan interrupted: "So, if I kill all the souls, not only will they die in vain, but I will also be punished. But the word 'punishment' does not mean that the souls will die." "Is it related to your escape?"

Faced with the question, the old man had no intention of responding, and just continued: "There are two roads before you, one is to enter the next level from the old man's left eye, and the other is to return to the soldier from the old man's right eye. Lin Yang’s face, but..."

Having said this, the old man raised his skinny arm, stretched out a finger, and touched the empty spot.

boom!

The violent airflow burst out, and Qiu Yan's soul was almost blown away by the sudden strong wind. The Changhe Fantasy World attached to his soul was shattered, and many souls hidden inside flew out!

These souls were the souls of Zhan Cheng, Zhan Zhen and other Confucian scholars that Qiu Yan collected into the river when the Mine Mother Hall was broken, and Bei Ming and Tang Qing were also among them.

Then, the resurrected gods burned their boats, and the entire hall was broken. Qiu Yan fell to the dark side of the scholar's forest, and the Changhe Fantasy World was collected into his soul, and the souls integrated into it also hid.

But now, as the old man raised his finger, the souls appeared, were blown out of the doors and windows, and turned into figures, falling to the ground.

This fall was quite loud. After everyone got up, they all felt a little dizzy, but the old man Bei Ming and Tang Qing calmed down and concentrated their minds at the first time, made a warning, and then carefully looked around, looking around, and saw this unfamiliar bamboo forest.

"Where is this place?"

Soon, the attention of all the souls was focused on the thatched hut in front of them.

"Mr. Qiu, what happened? Where is the young master? We..." Beiming looked at Qiu Yan in the house, and then he forced himself to go forward to ask, but he was stopped by the invisible shield after taking two steps, and he couldn't get close to the hut at all, "What's going on?"

He immediately realized that something was wrong.

The old man in the house ignored his words, just looked at Qiu Yan: "You bring the outside soul here, you will be restricted. If you choose to return to the Yang side, then these people will stay and be trapped here."

"They want to stay?" Qiu Yan frowned. Although Beiming and others appeared here because of the resurrection of the gods, it was also because of Qiu Yan. Once the souls were trapped, Qiu Yan could not escape responsibility and would be entangled by cause and effect.

"Your Excellency's implication is that if Qiu chooses to continue to break through, they can leave? But how can I know that this is not another lie? This truth and falsehood is interpreted by your Excellency in a particularly wonderful way."

"Once you make a decision, you will naturally know the truth." The old man did not argue, "You can think about it carefully."

But Qiu Yan said directly: "In this case, there is nothing to consider, Qiu will naturally continue to break through!"

The response without thinking was not entirely for saving people, but Qiu Yan wanted to further understand humanity. Just now, Qiu Yan had already realized that a rare opportunity was about to fall on him.

After the voice fell, a thought suddenly came from the air, which made Qiu Yan have a few more words in his mind. He immediately understood that the old man was indeed not lying.

"Okay!" The old man nodded, raised his hand and waved, and the people outside the house did not even have time to react. They were swept up by the strong wind, pulled into the house, spinning, and rushed into the old man's right eye and disappeared.

When the wind and waves calmed down, Qiu Yan looked at the old man and said in doubt: "The thought just now told me that you are also a person who can pass the level?"

After hearing this, the old man was stunned for a moment, and then showed a bitter smile: "Yes, I don't know when I can pass the first level of this old man."

Looking at the other party's expression, Qiu Yan did not ask any more questions, but just nodded and took a step forward...

Just then!

Whoosh!

A soul shadow flew in from outside, arriving in an instant, with a very urgent momentum, revealing a mood of desperate and determined to win!

"I, Zhao You, have raised soldiers for a thousand days, and I will use them at this time!"

This soul shadow was Zhao You! His target was actually pointing directly at the old man's right eye!

This person left cleanly before, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, but now he came suddenly, walking back and forth, without being blocked by the invisible shield, obviously he had planned it!

But Qiu Yan did not show any surprise. He raised his hand and grabbed it. Several thoughts burst out from his hand, condensed into consciousness, and coiled forward, directly grabbing the soul shadow transformed by Zhao You, and then smashing it down!

Boom!

The soul fell to the ground and scattered directly, and then gathered again, forming the appearance of Zhao You, but extremely weak. He raised his head, looked at Qiu Yan, and opened his mouth to speak.

But Qiu Yan did not even look at him, just looked at the old man deeply, then took a step forward, turned into a ray of light, and merged into the old man's left eye!

Then, the light and shadow flowed, the image changed, and there was an ancient tree looming in the heart, erratic, and when the surroundings were re-lit, it was pitch black, but there was a figure in front.

The man seemed to have noticed something, turned around and looked over, smiling.

"Brother Qiu, you really came here too, not letting Bai Zhaoyuan take all the credit."

Seeing this person, Qiu Yan's pupils shrank, and he spat out a name -

"Chen Jing..." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!)
