Chapter 49: Trials

When everyone arrived at the trial venue, the disciples were almost ready. Ling Huayin was not worried about Su Mu at all. She left Su Mu and sat next to Taoist Master Tianji, waiting for the trial to begin.

"Your little Mu is participating in a trial for the first time. Why don't you say a few words of concern to him? This will prevent the child from being nervous." Taoist priest Tianji turned to Ling Huayin and said.

At this time, Zhou Yao was talking to Su Mu, but Su Mu kept looking towards Ling Huayin.

Ling Huayin looked at the audience and said: "No need, I know my disciple, Xiao Mu Ding is the best in the training field."

Taoist Master Tianji stroked his gray beard and smiled from ear to ear, "That's not necessarily the case! Today's disciples are different from the past."

"Why does the leader suddenly want to practice now?" Ling Hua Yin asked quietly without turning her head.

"You'll understand later when you read it." Taoist Master Tianji pretended to be mysterious and said.

Ling Huayin knew that Taoist Master Tianji would not answer if she asked again, so she quietly watched the situation in the field.

Not long after, the trial began, and the disciples rushed into the trial venue. Su Mu saw everyone rushing into a barrier one after another, and followed him in. As soon as he entered, he discovered that there were

There was a bamboo forest, and there was a faint sound of music in the bamboo forest. I didn’t know where it came from. Not long after flying, three forked roads began to appear in front of me. The disciples all chose one of the paths based on their intuition. After flying a little further, three more forked roads appeared.

, Sumu kept going to the right, and after walking three forks in the road, he realized that the scenery here was almost exactly the same, just like a maze array. The disciples were almost scattered at this time. Some disciples realized that today's trial venue was a maze, so they

Marks were made along the way, but after several twists and turns, they turned back and the original marks carved on the bamboo disappeared.

Ling Huayin looked at the elders and knew that someone had deliberately eliminated those marks so that the disciples could disperse early and decide the winner.

Zhou Yi and Zhou Yao were always at the forefront, with many disciples following them, but they also broke away from the team due to unknown traps and fell elsewhere. This trial was indeed different from the past. In less than an hour, there were already

Disciples were eliminated one after another. When Zhou Yi and Zhou Yao returned to the place again, they found Su Mu sitting on the ground leisurely with a bamboo leaf in his mouth, with no intention of leaving.

Zhou Yao was afraid that he would give up the trial, so she quickly stepped forward and asked: "Xiao Mu, do you want to come with us?"

Su Mu raised his eyelids and said: "There are so many of you, but no one has thought of a way to leave here. I think the elders have made it clear that they won't let you leave together. Didn't you see that everyone is falling behind one by one? This time

The trial is about everyone relying on their abilities to see who can survive until the end, it is not about speed at all."

Zhou Yao was dubious, "Xiaomu, how did you know?"

Su Mu casually said: "I guessed it."

Hearing what he said, the other disciples didn't take it seriously, and some even snickered.

"I think what junior brother said makes sense. Why don't we leave separately." Zhou Yi thought about it again and again and suggested.

"But senior brother, I have never been separated from you. I am alone..." Zhou Yao was hesitant.

"There is no other way at the moment. Just listen to my junior brother. Don't be afraid. This is just a trial. Nothing will happen. We will see you after the trial."

At this time, a disciple asked Su Mu: "Then why don't you leave? Are you trying to deceive us and make us lose our qualifications for the trial, so that you can come out on top?"

Su Mu glanced at the disciple lazily, "I'm not as boring as you. By the way, Senior Brother Zhou Yi, let me remind you, there is wind here."

Zhou Yi paused and thought about his words carefully. Just when he was about to ask again, Su Mu stood up and walked in another direction, disappearing in the mist of the bamboo forest.

Zhou Yi quickly said to the other disciples: "You all follow the direction of the wind."

Outside the barrier, Ling Huayin couldn't help but smile. Elder Tianji also smiled and said to Shan Liqun: "Master, your two disciples don't understand your thoughts as well as that boy Sumu."

Zhou Yao looked left and right, a little hesitant about who to follow, and finally gritted her teeth and chased in the direction of Su Mu.

Sumu came to an open place, looked around, and then jumped up to the top of the bamboo forest. Looking from above, he could clearly see the wind direction in the bamboo forest. Every time he reached a fork in the road, the wind direction would change.

He flew in the air for a while following the direction of the wind. Soon he got tired and had to walk on the ground. After walking a few steps, Zhou Yao's voice came from behind him.

"Xiaomu, wait for me!"

Su Mu turned around and saw Zhou Yao running towards this side. He glanced left and right and felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to remind her to be careful, Zhou Yao screamed and disappeared into the mist barrier.

Su Mu quickly walked to the place where Zhou Yao disappeared, and stretched out his hand while the fog was still there. Sure enough, there was another space over there, but from the other side of the barrier, the road in front of him was still the same, and the person was just there.

He disappeared like air. If he passed by, I don't know where this barrier would take him. Maybe even Zhou Yao wouldn't be able to see him and he wouldn't be able to come back.

"Haha, do you think he will go back to find Zhou Yao?" Just as Master Tianji said these words to Ling Huayin, Su Mu in the training ground passed through the barrier without hesitation.

Let’s give it a try.

Fortunately, Su Mu saw Zhou Yao as soon as he passed by, but Zhou Yao was being besieged by a group of monsters transformed by magic, and without Zhou Yi's help, she was really powerless.

When Zhou Yao saw Su Mu, she felt as if she had seen a savior and shouted happily: "Xiao Mu!"

Sumuti rushed forward with his sword, standing back to back with Zhou Yao, and worked together to scatter the monsters.

Zhou Yao looked at the illusions scattered in all directions and said with some surprise: "They are actually illusions. I almost couldn't defeat some illusions." After saying that, Zhou Yao lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Sister, I'm just too nervous."

Zhou Yao pursed her lips and smiled, and said with a hint of shyness: "I have always acted with Senior Brother Yi before. This is the first time I have been to a place like this alone. Junior Brother must be laughing at me."

"No, it's normal for girls to be afraid of being alone." After saying that, Su Mu stopped talking to her and went to find the way he came.

"Xiao Mu, do you rarely have contact with girls?" Zhou Yao followed Su Mu with a smile and asked.

"Um, well, that's right."

Zhou Yao tilted her head and looked at Su Mu's stern side face, and said with a smile: "No wonder you are so shy."

Su Mu couldn't help but frown, stopped, and explained seriously: "I'm not shy, I'm just not used to contact with others."

Zhou Yao thought that Su Mu just didn't like others saying he was shy, so he didn't take it seriously.

"You will get used to it gradually in the future. After all, there are so many senior brothers and sisters in Xianze Palace. New people will come in the future, and junior brothers will always have to deal with them."

Unexpectedly, Su Mu actually said: "I'm not used to it, and I don't like dealing with other people. I just have contact with my master."

This sentence made Zhou Yao speechless.

Taoist Master Tianji outside couldn't help laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" Ling Huayin couldn't help but glance at him, "Taoist Priest Tianji seems to be very interested in my apprentice."

"Oh, everyone likes to pay attention to outstanding students. I am also reading Zhouyi."

Su Mu wandered around in the bamboo forest for a while, then flew up to take a look. He found that this bamboo forest was different from other places. There was no wind and it was surprisingly quiet. Zhou Yao felt sorry for Su Mu and said, "Little

Mu, I've caused trouble for you, if it weren't for me, you would have gone out by now."

Su Mu didn't seem to hear her, and thought to himself: This forest is very weird. Every tree is the same, and there is also a wall when you go up. I don't hear the sound of the piano anymore, as if we were trapped here on purpose.

. The monster just now was also very strange. I had never seen it all the way here, so why did I meet it here with Senior Sister Zhou Yao? Although Senior Sister Zhou Yao’s swordsmanship is weaker than that of Senior Brother Zhou Yi, no matter how bad she is, she will not be able to connect several monsters.

I can't even defeat the illusions, and after I came, those monsters can't be defeated either.

Seeing Su Mu's thoughtful look, Zhou Yao asked, "Xiao Mu, have you thought of any solution?"

Su Mu asked: "Sister Zhou Yao, do you want to pass the trial?"

Zhou Yao didn't know why Su Mu asked this question. She was a little startled and replied: "Of course, if I can't pass this trial, then I won't be able to see everyone meet the master."

"Well, this is the scene that Senior Sister Zhou Yao imagined in her mind. As long as Senior Sister wants to leave, she can leave naturally." Su Mu said.

Zhou Yao looked at Su Mu in surprise, "Xiaomu, you just came here, how come you know everything?"

Su Mu recalled that she and Ling Huayin accidentally entered Daze in the dream, and said: "My master and I have encountered a similar situation before, and I am not sure whether it is the same here. The senior sister said that she has never acted alone, and she was afraid

I can't do it alone, so I imagine monsters in my mind that I can't defeat. As long as senior sister is more confident, she can do a lot of things by herself."

After Zhou Yao heard this, she was really encouraged by Su Mu. At this time, the wind suddenly started blowing in the forest.

When Su Mu heard the news, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to take Zhou Yao away from here, but found that Zhou Yao was missing. After looking around for a while, he found that the bamboo forest had turned into a city.

"What is this?" Su Mu looked shocked.

"Inner demon..." Ling Huayin suddenly blurted out outside the barrier. She couldn't help but look at the leader, and saw Shan Liqun still watching everything on the trial field for a moment.

The Fantasy City actually appeared in the training ground. Sumu walked along the familiar streets. The sky slowly darkened with his footsteps. Suddenly, he saw a bright red light in front of him, lighting up the entire night sky, and the cries of men and women.

Gradually, it permeated the entire city. In the open space in front of them, hundreds of people gathered in the middle of a red magic circle, performing a cruel ritual.

A 7 or 8-year-old boy was lying outside the magic circle, with a silver longevity lock hanging on his chest, and his half-open eyes were staring at everything in the magic circle.

At the front of the circle, kneeling was a man dressed in black. The man's features were handsome and his features were clear-cut, much like the current Su Mu.

"Let's get started." As a low voice rose, the people in the circle began to cry shrilly, resounding throughout the world. Some people even made sounds of regret, but once the contract was formed, it could no longer stop.

Come down.

The boy's tears flowed down, and then his pupils gradually lost their luster as the red light of the magic circle gradually dimmed, and he became numb and his heart was filled with despair.

"Take this kid back." A voice without any emotion, which sounded somewhat familiar, sounded again.
