After I crossed into the book, I stole the protagonist's master Bai Yueguang

"Remember what you promised me, don't let yourself get hurt."

Noon is approaching and the trial is about to begin. Xu Weichen reminds Liu Yishu again.

"If I get hurt, I'll let Master deal with me, okay?" Liu Yishu moved closer to Xu Weichen and whispered in his ear, his tone frivolous and ambiguous.

Xu Weichen pinched his wrist as if warning, "I'm not interested in dealing with you. If you break your promise, I will no longer trust you in the future!"

The consequences are quite serious.

Liu Yishu straightened his expression and raised his palm, "I swear to God, I will never get hurt."

"Go." Xu Weichen patted his head and watched him embark on the path of self-reflection.

"Master, I'm leaving." Chaoyang saluted Xu Weichen and followed Liu Yishu.

In front of the Road of Self-Reflection stands a weathered stone tablet with five words inscribed on it: To cultivate the Tao, one must first cultivate the mind.

These five characters have the same origin as the characters on the boundary stone at the mountain gate. I think they were also written by Cang Xuan, the first ancestor of Taicang Mountain.

The Tao here does not refer to Taoism, but to the cultivators' understanding of the heaven and earth.

There are three thousand great ways of the Tao, and every living being has a different understanding of the Tao. Everyone has his or her own Tao. Only by strengthening one's heart in the Tao can one go further and become stronger.

There is no distinction between high and low in the Tao itself, but there are differences in depth.

For example, Liu Yishu has lived for nearly 20,000 years and witnessed the third catastrophe between heaven and earth. The gods, demons and monsters in heaven fought against each other, causing the heaven and earth to turn upside down and the sun and moon to hang upside down, and even saints died personally. He has also witnessed the stars moving and the sea turning into mulberry fields. The longer he has lived and the more he has seen, the more his perception of the rules of heaven and earth will naturally be different.

Cang Xuan was able to found a sect, which lasted for three thousand years, so he was certainly no ordinary person. However, he was not born in a good time and was destined not to become an immortal. Therefore, his Tao was also destined not to break through the boundaries of immortals.

The trial of the heart is a test of the state of mind set up by Taicang Mountain to test the character of novice disciples. Since they are novice disciples, most of them must be ordinary people, so the difficulty is naturally not too high. They are nothing more than the four things that ordinary people pursue: 'wine, sex, money and anger'.

After stepping onto the first step, Liu Yishu's surroundings changed and he found himself in a fantasy world.

The word "wine" represents eating and drinking.

When it comes to eating and drinking, the one who knows it best is Taotie.

Speaking of which, Taotie also split his soul and went to China to reincarnate. Maybe he was attracted by the endless new and fantastic foods. Unfortunately, he did not choose a good family. The family conditions were not well-off, and he ate too much, so they could not afford to feed him at all.

Taotie has a poor brain, and it got even worse after his soul was split. His gluttonous instinct is deeply rooted. If he didn't have a brother who was also the reincarnation of a mythical beast, he would have been abandoned by that family when he was young.

His brothers took great pains to raise him. Live streaming was very popular in China at that time, so they gave Taotie some advice and let him start a food broadcast.

This can be considered a professional match. At the beginning, Taotie's eating broadcast was very popular, until one day Liu Yishu accidentally saw it, recognized him at a glance, and immediately remembered the revenge of the cut off tail, so he secretly reported Taotie's eating broadcast.

Not only did he report it himself, he also instigated many other monsters who were victims of Taotie to report it together, successfully getting Taotie's eating broadcast banned.

Later, Taotie changed several live broadcast rooms, but they were all discovered by Liu Yishu at the first time, who then took the lead in reporting him, causing him to be banned.

As a result, Taotie lost the most suitable way to make money and almost starved to death due to lack of money.

It was his brother who couldn't stand it anymore and found Liu Yishu and negotiated for him, and finally Liu Yishu was merciful and spared his life.

Born in China, as long as you have money, you can enjoy any kind of food and any kind of wine. So Liu Yishu was not interested in the test of wine.

As for 'color'——

As a vixen, he thought he was stunningly beautiful. No matter how beautiful the beauties in the fantasy world were, they were not as beautiful as one of his toes, so he was too lazy to even take a look.

The "wealth" level is even more vulgar. He is not a dragon and does not like gold and silver. Even if mountains of gold and silver are piled in front of him, he will only feel dazzled.

The test of 'Qi' stirs up people's emotions, such as arrogance, greed, jealousy, anger, laziness, gluttony, lust and other negative emotions. Once you are deeply trapped in one of them, you may be trapped in a cycle and never get out.

What 'it' is best at is stirring up the emotions of living beings, amplifying the desires in their hearts, causing them to lose their Taoism and collapse from the inside out.

To bystanders, the trial of the mind is just like raising one foot over a staircase; only those who are in it know what they are going through.

The test of 'wine, sex, money and anger' set by Cang Xuan is not worth mentioning to Liu Yishu. The tricks used by other people in Taicang Mountain are not even as crude as Cang Xuan's, and are much more despicable. They are not worthy of making Liu Yishu stop for a second. Only 'it' can evoke the thing that Liu Yishu fears most in his heart.

"My son, this is your last chance. If something happens to me, all your efforts to change your fate will be meaningless!"

After climbing up four steps steadily and before stepping onto the fifth step, Liu Yishu said to the kid in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The kid didn't say anything, and Liu Yishu wasn't in a hurry either. He slowly walked up the stairs.

"My son, if one day you suddenly find that you like someone very much, don't panic, because that may be your disaster. It's not that you really like him, but that you need to 'like' him. Heaven is cruel and treats all things as straw dogs. All things are chess pieces controlled by 'it' on the chessboard. We cannot really decide our own destiny." That was what his ancestor told him one day a long time ago when he passed by Tushan and visited his ancestor on the way.

The old ancestor, who once had mistresses all over the East Wilderness, has been trying to ruin the marriage ever since she received the decree from the Holy Mother Palace to marry the Human Emperor. But one day after returning from a trip, she suddenly announced that she wanted to settle down for one man and cut off all ties with her mistresses.

Coincidentally, the person who made her fall in love at first sight was actually the Human Emperor!

She happily married the Human Emperor, taking only a scoop from the three thousand rivers of water, managing household affairs and bearing children for the Human Emperor, becoming a virtuous wife and mother praised by all three realms.

But what does she want from the Human Emperor?

Do you want him to have female confidantes all over the world?

Why does he not return home for more than ten years because he cares about the people of the world?

Or is it because of his short life span of no more than a hundred years?

The ancestor said that the only way to describe her feelings when she first met the Human Emperor was to be possessed by a ghost. Later, when the passion faded, only confusion remained. She couldn't figure it out until she gave birth to the son of destiny of the next era at the cost of all her life force and cultivation. Only then did she realize that all this was just God's arrangement, but it was too late.

With the experience of his ancestors, Liu Yishu had asked himself countless times after he understood his feelings for Xu Weichen: did he really like Xu Weichen? Or was he just arranged by God like his ancestors?

When the eight-tailed thunder calamity was approaching, he went to the human world to look for a noble person who could protect him, and met Xu Weichen by chance. It could be regarded as a coincidence, but for the sake of caution, after he had passed the calamity, he not only did not look for Xu Weichen in the next life to repay his gratitude, but instead hid in the wilderness to practice hard for a thousand years, cutting off all emotions and thoughts. But a thousand years later, he went to the human world again and met Xu Weichen again. He knew that like his ancestor, Xu Weichen was a calamity arranged for him by God.

So after cultivating into the Nine-Tailed Fox and watching the great excitement between heaven and earth, he simply fell into a deep sleep for a thousand years, using the powerful weapon of "time" to calm his restless heart, and then he escaped into the wilderness without hesitation.

After spending ten thousand years in the wilderness in a daze and almost forgetting who Xu Weichen was, a great demon discovered the strange world where China was located among the three thousand worlds.

It inherited from the main world and had the same origin, with chaos and primeval times, Pangu creating the world, Nuwa forming humans out of clay, and Hongjun merging his body into one with the Tao, there were three great calamities and countless small calamities, and then in the tens of millions of years since the Battle of the Gods, that world evolved into a completely different creation.

China has no spiritual energy, no gods or demons. Humans dominate the heavens and the earth, and technology conquers land, sea and air.

The influence of the Heavenly Dao on that place is minimal, allowing them to split their souls and go to that world to find a suitable host and experience the life of an ordinary human.

It was also there that, through something called Baidu Encyclopedia and drawing on the wisdom of the Chinese ancestors, he thoroughly understood the characteristics of the mayfly clan.

Then he understood that it was not Xu Weichen who was his calamity, on the contrary, he was the calamity arranged by Heaven for Xu Weichen.
