Villain: Who said I came here to break off the engagement?

Li Guanhai stared at the golden lotus of merit with a fiery gaze.

Zhu Sheng said: "You have passed the stage of seeing the nature and understanding the heart. The next step is the test of the golden lotus of merit. In fact, whether I and the elders agree or not is secondary. It mainly depends on your own luck. If the golden lotus of merit does not recognize you, everything is over."

Li Guanhai was silent for a while and asked: "How should I test it?"

Zhu Sheng nodded: "Approach it, reach out and touch it."

Li Guanhai was about to step forward when Lu Xuanjing's cold voice came from his side: "Stick to your heart."

He turned his head to look at her, smiled slightly: "I'll remember it."

He walked closer to the golden lotus of merit. As he approached, the rising golden light spots were all attracted to him and circled around him.

The sacred and majestic golden light enveloped him, outlining a vague golden halo on his body.

Li Guanhai's vision was completely filled with golden light. The scene in the temple was broken like a mirror. The golden light converged and everything returned to nothingness.

I don't know how long it has been, but I heard noisy shouts, chaotic footsteps and horse hooves.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a lively market scene, with peddlers walking the streets, knights leading horses on the road, and vendors standing behind stalls shouting hard.

Is this an illusion?

Li Guanhai still remembered everything that happened in the temple. He approached the Golden Lotus of Merit, was wrapped in golden light, and then appeared here.

This place is probably an illusion created by the Golden Lotus of Merit.

So what exactly is the test of the Golden Lotus of Merit?

He found himself sleeping in an alley on the side of the street. The alley was very narrow, and the sunlight could not reach here, which seemed a little cold and damp.

As soon as he stood up, the street in front suddenly became chaotic.

Looking up, it turned out that a carriage had hit a child to death, and the child's grandfather was lying on the ground crying.

The two drivers jumped down to check, and were grabbed by the collar by the old man and cried and scolded.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a handsome face of a young man appeared.

He frowned and glanced at the old man and the child who died tragically under the horse's hooves, and said coldly: "He died, but it was that bastard who didn't look at the road and blocked my horse, which frightened the horse. Humph, he deserved to die."

The old man felt even more sad when he heard him confuse right and wrong. He cried and asked the pedestrians and vendors around him to judge.

But the people around were intimidated by the identity of the handsome young man and did not dare to intervene. They could only remain silent.

The handsome young man frowned: "Stop making so much noise, beat him up."

He immediately lowered the curtain of the carriage.

The driver, who was grabbed by the collar, showed a grim smile, grabbed the old man's wrist with his left hand, and twisted it hard.

The old man was already in his seventies, his legs and feet were fragile, and he couldn't walk properly. The arm bone was immediately broken by the strong driver, and then he kicked him in the chest.

The old man raised his head and fell, his back to the ground.

The two drivers walked forward with a sneer, rolled up their sleeves at the same time, and still refused to give up.

The people around sighed, and many turned their heads away, unable to bear to watch any more.

Li Guanhai saw everything clearly, and even though he knew that this was an illusion created by the Merit Golden Lotus, he was furious.

He rushed out of the alley while running the mysterious skills and mobilizing his magic power, but his steps suddenly stopped.

The mysterious skills were gone, the Qi Sea was also closed, and there was no magic power in the eight meridians.

Li Guanhai frowned.

In the illusion world, he was an ordinary person who had not yet embarked on the path of cultivation, and was even worse than an ordinary person. He was a little beggar who worried about filling his stomach every day.

The beating on the street continued. The old man was weak, and the driver's kick just now directly knocked him unconscious. What greeted him next was a torrential rain of fists and feet.

The nearly eighty-year-old old man had no power to fight back, and fell to the ground with a weak wail, unable to even roll and struggle.

Many bones in his body were broken. Even if the two drivers stopped now, he would not survive.

Li Guanhai's face was as gloomy as water. He looked around and saw a noodle stall. Just then, a diner finished his noodles, left a few copper coins and got up to leave.

He ran over quickly, picked up the chopsticks, aimed at the carriage, and threw it out.

With a whoosh, the chopsticks pierced the air and penetrated the carriage board.

The handsome young man was holding a beautiful girl in his arms, touching her all over. He was not prepared at all. He was hit by the chopsticks in the back of his head. He fell forward and rolled out of the carriage.

The two drivers who were venting their violence heard the noise, looked back, and their faces turned pale. They exclaimed: "Young Master!"

The people watching the excitement were also frightened and retreated.

The two drivers rushed to the handsome young man and saw a chopstick stuck in the back of his head. Their hearts suddenly turned cold.

At this moment, the sound of breaking air came. The two drivers were so desperate that they didn't take any precautions. One of them was stabbed in the temple and died on the spot.

The other one locked his eyes on Li Guanhai, but he didn't rush up to avenge the young master. Instead, he bent down and carried the young master's body on his back. He turned around and ran away with the wind under his feet!

The people around cheered loudly, and Li Guanhai, who was all dressed as a beggar, gave a thumbs up.

But soon, the young master's father brought people.

His father was the boss of a small force in the rivers and lakes. He had many people under him. Relying on the power of numbers, he chased Li Guanhai, who had lost all his cultivation.

Li Guanhai fled in a panic, and killed many pursuers during the period, but these people were all righteous people in the rivers and lakes.

Gradually, he became notorious in the rivers and lakes and was classified as a demon. The disciples of those self-proclaimed famous sects all wanted to kill him, saying that they were fighting demons and defending the way.

In the past few years, Li Guanhai has made great progress in his studies and cultivation. His hands are stained with the blood of many righteous people. He is completely unacceptable to the righteous people and has become a big devil that everyone wants to kill.

For him, a few years seemed like decades, but also like a snap of fingers.

He had been thinking about what the test of the Merit Golden Lotus was. Later, when he turned against the righteous path, he finally had a glimmer of enlightenment in his heart.

His heart was originally kind, but it was not tolerated by this world, and he was forced to become a devil step by step.

So is the real test of the Merit Golden Lotus to see if he will lose his original heart in the end and become a real devil?

There is this possibility, but it is only Li Guanhai's guess.

He wrote his guess on paper and carried it with him as a diary.

He is not a serious person, so he writes a diary.

One day later, he was glad for his unseriousness.

It turns out that the longer you stay in this illusion, the more memories you will forget. Later, Li Guanhai even forgot that this was an illusion and that he was undergoing the test of the Golden Lotus of Merit.

He completely regarded this place as the real world, until one day in the future, he opened the diary and everything became clear.

But he still didn't get his memory back, but his intuition told him that the diary was real, his world was illusory, and he had a mission.

So he ended his fight with the righteous, was recruited by the court, and became an official in the court.

Two years later, foreign enemies attacked the border in large numbers, the war burned directly in the hinterland, and the people were displaced and homeless, leaving nine out of ten houses empty.

Li Guanhai took the initiative to volunteer and was appointed as the General of Zhenbei. He led the army northward, repelled foreign enemies, recovered lost territory, and rebuilt the northern defense line. The world sang praises for his merits.
