Weird cultivation of immortality starts with possessing a mysterious book

A room somewhere in the Taoist temple.

The room was filled with lights, and many strange patterns were painted around the lights.

In the center of these patterns, there is a short and fat old man, studying a fragment of a volume at his desk.

But at this moment, the lamp in the corner suddenly dimmed and went out.

The old man noticed it, frowned, and then stretched out his hand, and a ray of fire flew out from his fingers and fell on the lamp.

The flame on the lamp was rekindled, but countless scenes were faintly revealed in the flame.

Looking at those scenes, the old man frowned at first, then relaxed, and then became happy.

Then, he directly took out an expensive transmission note and started to communicate.

"Li Zhugan, there is a new member in the Taoist Academy today, right?"

After a while, the surprised voice of a thin middle-aged man came from the telegraph.

"How do you always know?"

"Don't worry about how I know it. There should be someone with a black iron machete among the newcomers this time, right?"

Gu Xing's black iron machete was so big that it couldn't be hidden in the package, so it naturally attracted attention, and Li Zhugan also remembered it.

"Someone, his name is Gu Xing, from Niuben Village..."

"I don't care about anything else. Get this kid to the formation."

"Ah, you are..."

"I'll just say one thing, okay?"

"According to the rules, they have to stay in the outer courtyard for a year..."

"Ok?"

"You...could it be that the formation you set up to torture the newcomers was broken, right?"

"What does it mean to deliberately torture newcomers?" The old man was dissatisfied.

"The formation you set up requires that the soul strength is high enough and sharp enough to be triggered first. However, if the soul strength is too sharp, it will assist the formation and make the formation more realistic. Not only that, you will go into that formation. I threw away several illusory species to confuse the audience. The most important thing is that the material you used for this eye formation is still at the foundation-building level and is extremely strong. What kind of freshman can break through this?"

Li Zhugan seized the opportunity and complained.

"Ahem, there must be someone who can break it. Look, there's someone here this time." The old man was a little embarrassed by what he said.

This formation was arranged by him many years ago. The purpose at that time seemed to be torture...oh no, it was to select geniuses.

Yes, that was his original idea.

Although he was just an ordinary instructor when he arranged this formation...

There was no one around, so there was no way to refute.

"I'm also curious, how did he break it?" Li Zhugan said.

"Of course it depends on the formation skills..." He stopped abruptly in the middle of his words.

The old man dropped the transmission talisman, and another ball of fire flew towards the previous lamp between his fingers.

The scene reappeared, and after reading it quickly, the old man's stretched face was suddenly full of wrinkles, and then he cursed as if he hated it.

“You’ve already discovered the formation and still use brute force, you’re so brainless!”

Li Zhugan on the other side of the transmission talisman:

"..."

After a while, he said.

"Then do you still want someone else?"

The old man gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"Yes, why not? The soul is so strong and so sharp. I am born to practice formations. I remember there is a welcome ceremony for new students tonight, right? Wait for me. I want to personally check the monitoring array there."

……

Regardless of the old man's mood, Gu Xing and Roy were still standing at the door of the courtyard.

It was not completely dark outside the courtyard, there were lights everywhere, and people could be vaguely seen moving around.

He looked up at the sky. The moon was in a different position, and a long time seemed to have passed.

"Brother Gu, are we going out?" Roy asked behind him.

"No need." Gu Xing shook his head.

He encountered an anomaly as soon as he walked out of the house. Even now, he still doesn't understand the situation. He just relied on his keen intuition and observation ability to find the anomaly, and then used his strength to break it.

And once he left the courtyard, he was not familiar with anything. If he encountered this kind of problem again, he might be in trouble.

And what currently makes him extremely confused is the two shocks on the mysterious book.

Once in the opposite room and once in the courtyard.

According to past experience, the strange book should not be wrong. In other words, there is indeed something strange here.

He guessed that this was used to test the new students, but using weirdness to test the new students, would there really be no problems?

"Come on, let's go to the bathroom." Without thinking again, Gu Xing waved.

"what?"

The location of the toilet was not hidden. They found it after walking around the courtyard, and then Gu Xing continued to take him around the courtyard.

After confirming the surrounding terrain, Gu Xing took him back.

Although he didn't do much on this trip, Roy seemed quite happy.

When he returned to the door of the room, Gu Xing came to the opposite door again and reached out to knock on the door.

"Who?"

It's still a dull voice, but not old.

Gu Xing ignored him and took two steps back, preparing to go back to his room.

"Brother Gu, who is inside?" Roy stood at the door and asked curiously.

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be human."

Gu Xing's words made Roy shiver, and he was suddenly too frightened to speak.

"It's okay. The room should be safe, but be careful at night. No matter who knocks on the door, don't open it, even if it's me." Gu Xing reminded.

Although I don't know if the weirdness in these rooms will come out, I can't go wrong with caution.

Returning to the room, Gu Xing looked at the layout, which was unchanged from before.

He tried to lift the lampshade. Unlike the lampshade in the courtyard, the lampshade in the room was easily lifted.

Then he blew gently, and the light was blown out.

After confirming again that there was nothing abnormal, Gu Xing lit the lamp again and sat on the chair.

After finishing the remaining food on the table and fastening the door, he began his daily practice.

After a while, feeling tired, he went to bed.

In a daze, he suddenly felt someone knocking on the door.

Gu Xing woke up immediately, without making a sound, he straightened up and looked outside the door in the moonlight.

"Brother Gu, are you there?"

Roy's voice came from outside the door. His voice seemed a little anxious, but Gu Xing ignored it.

After a moment of silence outside, Roy continued speaking again, this time in a more urgent tone.

"Brother Gu, I know you don't dare to open the door, but don't look back. You must remember...ah!"

The last thing that came was a scream.

But Gu Xing still didn't respond, didn't look back, and didn't open the door.

After a while, there was no response from outside.

So Gu Xing lay down, covered himself with a quilt, closed his eyes and rested.

But at this moment, music suddenly sounded, clear and cold, which made people feel a little chilly.

And not only that, there is a gentle female voice singing in the music.

"There used to be a girl from the Jiang family who had been ignorant for fourteen years."

"Once you enter the Taoist temple, your smile will bloom like a flower."

"You have a brother who cares for you, and a teacher who cares for you."

"The breeze blows the green willows, and the drizzle falls on the moss."

"..."

"Now that I have returned, may I ask where you are?"

After listening to the song, Gu Xing turned over and prepared to go back to sleep.

But at this time, there was a cold wind blowing on my face, and then a faint voice sounded in my ears.

"I'm already here, Jun, why are you hiding from me?"
