Winner in life

It was the first time for Ruihe to see Mao Yueliang, and he did feel it was eerie. He lit a lighting talisman and began to check the surroundings. The master of the temple said that in the recent Taoist competitions, candidates were given various difficult questions. They were not very unusual questions, but they required extreme care and caution, otherwise it would be easy to miss key clues and even fail.

The light of the lighting talisman was enough for Ruihe. He carefully checked the surrounding environment and found that he was trapped in a regular forest of about 40 square meters. Outside the forest was a thick fog that was cold to the touch. When he stepped into it, his spiritual platform was instantly confused, and his vitality ran wild.

Ruihe returned to the forest immediately, knowing that this was the most commonly used bodyless fog in the martial arts test. It was originally created from Yuxiachi. It is said that five hundred years ago, there was a rebellion by the Heavenly Master, who united with the vassal kings to try to shake the foundation of the country. At that time, the Heavenly Master Supervisor of the court fought a desperate battle with the rebellious Heavenly Master. The Fairy Xiaqing from Yuxiachi created the bodyless fog. The Heavenly Master in the fog had a violent riot of vitality and lost his mind. In short, he became an out-of-control madman. With the bodyless fog and the matching array, the Heavenly Master Supervisor at that time defeated the rebellious Heavenly Master, and the bodyless fog was also passed down.

It is said that the technical support for the bodyless fog in the martial arts test came from the Heavenly Master of Yuxiachi.

After trying it once, Ruihe did not try to go out again. The key to leaving this forest is the forest itself. Ruihe observed the grass, stones, chaotic fallen leaves, etc. in the forest, and compared them with the array knowledge he had learned and accumulated. Finally, he found similarities and determined that this forest was a deformed barrier forest.

"My luck is not bad." Ruihe knew that this magic array that only trapped people but did not hurt them was the simplest in the martial arts test. The hairy moon in the sky should have the effect of making the candidates fearful and uneasy. This maze array could not be cracked if it was studied carefully. An hour later, Ruihe found the eye of the array and destroyed it. With two "clicks", like a key inserted into a keyhole, Ruihe turned and looked in two directions. The thick fog there was like being moved by an invisible hand, slowly dispersing to both sides, leaving a passage that only allowed one person to pass through.

After calculating, both passages were in auspicious directions, so Ruihe randomly chose a passage and walked in. As he walked, he felt that there seemed to be something in the thick fog on both sides, but unfortunately the lighting talisman was extinguished as soon as it entered the thick fog, and there was no way to investigate.

The bodyless fog of Yuxia Pool is indeed well-deserved.

After walking about three or four meters, the path reached the end and a door appeared in front of him. Above the door was a landscape painting. It was originally a beautiful scenery of green mountains and green waters, but in this environment, it showed a ghostly feeling.

Ruihe touched it gently, and it felt soft and smooth, flowing like water. The painting was alive.

He had seen this question when he was reviewing. It was called "Finding the Dragon Cave". It was a typical Feng Shui question. You had to find the best Feng Shui location in the landscape painting, and then inject the vitality into it, and the door would open. This landscape painting was very delicate, with layers of green mountains and surging water. The mountains as far as the eye could see overlapped and interlaced, connecting end to end. At a glance, there were more than a dozen mountains. The mountains were interspersed, and the water was separated by water, which made people dazzled.

It took Ruihe twenty minutes to find the best Feng Shui position. After injecting vitality, the landscape painting disappeared, and the door opened. Before he walked in, he heard a roar, followed by human screams.

After walking in for a year, it turned out that a candidate was fighting with a tiger monster. The candidate was obviously at a disadvantage. When Ruihe came in, he saw the candidate abandoning an arm to escape from the tiger's mouth. The strong smell of blood and rain hit his face.

This space was formed into a rainstorm by the magic circle. A tiger demon who spoke human language shook his fur and said, "Here comes another one. You Heavenly Masters are not good people. Give me your life!" Then he threw away the Heavenly Master with a broken arm, and even the arm that was still hot beside his mouth, and rushed straight to Ruihe.

This is a tiger demon who is extremely hungry and hateful. After the founding of the country, there are fewer spirits that can become spirits, but the country is vast and densely forested, so the total number of spirits is not small. The tiger demon originally became a spirit in a mountain in the north. Once it became a spirit, it ravaged the four directions, which was very majestic. It was recently captured and used as a small level in the Taoist martial arts competition. To humans, the tiger demon is just a test question. To the tiger demon, the Heavenly Master who captured it and trapped it here is an enemy that it hates to the bone!

After being captured, the food it gets is either grass or vegetables. It regards this as a humiliation from humans. Its hatred increases with every bite. How could wild grass satisfy a carnivorous monster? The more the tiger monster ate, the hungrier it became. But hunger could not suppress its hatred. It hated the Heavenly Master! Hate! Hate! Hate! Kill them all first, then eat them slowly!

The tiger monster made up its mind and moved quickly, but Ruihe reacted even faster. He used a whisk to infuse vitality, dodged the tiger monster's fatal pounce, and swung the whisk back!

The tiger monster was swung away, and flames appeared on its body. The fire was not afraid of wind and rain at all, just like dry grass that would catch fire, and burned the tiger monster in an instant.

"Ouch!" The tiger monster screamed in pain.

Ruihe took advantage of the victory and played three immobilization talismans. The tiger monster fell to the ground with a bang, splashing mud and water.

Everything happened in a flash, and the young man with a broken arm was stunned. The tiger monster must have practiced for a hundred years, so how could he be knocked down in just two strokes?

Not knowing the suspicion in the heart of the young man with the broken arm, Ruihe walked over to put out the fire on the tiger demon. After a few swipes with his whisk, the fire was out. This fire came from the Qingyun Fire Curse, which was Cai Ningzi's specialty. Cai Ningzi said that his third senior brother Hongyu created the Leiyun Fire Curse, and it was the Leiyun Fire Curse that broke the ghost king's arm. Unfortunately, the Leiyun Fire Curse was lost after Hongyu's death.

The Qingyun Fire Curse can ignite all ghosts and evil things. It is not as powerful as the thunder and fire of the Five Thunder Talisman, but "being able to ignite" is an incredible skill. The fire in the world cannot burn the ghosts in the underworld, and ordinary fire cannot burn the demons that have become spirits. The Qingyun Fire Curse can burn ghosts and demons. Although the firepower is not very strong, as long as it can be ignited, it is a breakthrough.

The tiger demon was burned by the Qingyun Fire Curse and the body shield was broken.

According to "Yao Xie Yi Wen Lu", the demons that have become spirits have body shields, also known as body shields. It is the creator's pity for the demons. Those who become demons and spirits have doubled their lifespans, and they are psychic but violent and brutal. For this reason, the creator gave them body shields to make them thick and rough. This body shield is difficult to break, but once it is broken, it is not difficult to deal with any demon.

Ruihe searched the tiger demon from head to toe and found a jade plate in its softest and deepest place - the abdomen. There were five lines of small characters engraved on the jade token, which Ruihe could not understand for a moment. Just as he was about to think carefully, he heard a cry of pain.

Looking back, the young man with a broken arm collapsed on the ground, and a bottle of pills rolled down from his only remaining hand, covering the muddy ground with a layer of mud.

"Are you okay?" Ruihe walked over and picked up the pills and returned them to the other party, and then picked up the broken hand. The broken hand was ferocious, with clear teeth marks, and it was obvious that it was bitten off by a tiger monster.

The young man with a broken arm raised his head and swallowed the pills. He swallowed the whole bottle. His face was as pale as a dead person in the rain. No one knows what method he used, but the wound has stopped bleeding. Ruihe returned the broken arm to him. The young man thanked him hoarsely: "Thank you very much. My name is Huai Jin. What's your name, fellow Taoist?"

"You can just call me Hong Zhen. Your hand--"

"It's gone. I'll have to take a new name, the one-armed knight." Huai Jin was still in the mood to joke, "I saw fellow Taoist just took a jade token from the tiger monster's abdomen. Is it a clue to this formation?"

"It should be." Ruihe said with a smile, "I'll study it." He didn't say he would give him the jade token.

Huai Jin didn't care. In the martial arts test, the candidates were competitors. Why was the death rate of the martial arts test so high in the early years? That's because the candidates pulled each other down, tripped each other up, and took away the clues that the other party had obtained. If more people died, wouldn't there be more vacancies?

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the state has established the National Daomen Association to regulate Daoism, and has made drastic reforms to Daomen competitions, advocating civilized and harmonious competitions. Relevant laws have been introduced. Intentional homicide in martial arts tests is a crime, and if discovered, it will be sentenced. How to determine whether it is intentional homicide? Because of the special setting of the examination room, the gloomy atmosphere is heavy, and electronic machinery cannot be activated. Later, Gu Daoshan developed a special monitor that is not afraid of any changes in magnetic fields and auras. It can transmit in real time and automatically backup and upload the examination video.

This extinguished the chaos of the examination.

With the monitoring, the Daomen martial arts competition also improved the score setting and added the point-to-point scoring. Because the magic circle will become invalid after it is opened, the candidates who enter later will not have a scoring point, but they can follow the footsteps of their predecessors to leave the open door and easily enter the next examination site. Point-to-point scoring is actually the first person to crack the score.

Therefore, Huai Jin is not worried that Ruihe will deal with him. If this formation can be opened, he will leave with the other party. It is no big deal to give the other party a score. What is the difference between before and after?

It was a blessing to be alive!

After finding a dense bush to hide from the rain, Ruihe began to study the jade tablet, and finally found that the five lines of characters were hidden poems, and after extracting them, they were the direction of the array eye. This was easy to do. Ruihe quickly found the direction, and then stuffed the jade tablet in. The thick fog parted like a tide, revealing a passage that was exactly the same as before.

The door opened, but this time there were four doors.

Huming Mountain was now a super examination room with countless test questions, one layer embedded in another, and one question for each question. Only by breaking the magic array can you reach the next test question. However, this does not mean that the next test question will go to the top of the mountain. It is possible that every test question you break will go around the mountain in circles. You may still be circling in the mountain when the test time is over.

Ruihe's luck was obviously not bad. It should be said that he has been favored by the god of luck in today's martial arts test, and the test questions he encountered were not particularly difficult. After the four doors appeared, Ruihe told himself a fortune and calculated the auspicious direction. Huai Jin did the same. The two said goodbye and each chose a door to leave.

In this way, three days passed quickly. Ruihe was not as refreshed as on the first day. He also encountered two moments of life and death. Fortunately, he survived both dangerously. On the fourth day, he met a nephew from Helian Temple, and the two worked together to pass the test.

That night, Ruihe and his nephew spent the night in a certain test question. He brought a special watch, which worked normally in such an environment. In order to keep his spirits up, Ruihe rested on time every day in such a chaotic test room day and night. Because this test site has been cracked, it is very safe, and there are surveillance cameras, so there is no fear of being tricked by other candidates. The two slept soundly, and suddenly there was a noise, and Ruihe woke up instantly.

As soon as he woke up, he saw a new door opened. It was obvious that a candidate had broken through the test question from another test site and chose a passage to this test site.

The four looked at each other.

Zhai Yinglin, who ran in in a panic, looked into the eyes of Ruihe, who was sitting on the hammock. Ruihe's heart moved and he showed a friendly smile: "So you are the young master of the Zhai family. It's better to meet in person than to hear about it. I am Hong Zhen from the Lotus Temple, and I am a disciple of Cai Ningzi. Daoist Zhai, would you like to come over and rest with me?"
