I, Panda, am super fierce!

Staring at the familiar mark, Yi Zhou had to accept a reality - he was trapped in the formation.

This formation has a wide range, and it has not been found to be used for anything other than trapping people.

Sitting down against the tree trunk, Yi Zhou bowed his head in thought, recalling what happened before he came here.

But after thinking for a long time, I didn't find anything unusual.

I remember that at that time, his inner mansion was empty, his body was full of injuries, and his attention was focused on the surroundings to prevent the monsters from attacking him.

As for how to get here...

Yi Zhou raised his head and thought for a while. He seemed to feel that there was the least danger here, so he just barged in.

Thinking of the thoughts at that time, Yi Zhou sighed.

It's too reckless, and I will correct it in the future.

He doesn't know much about formations, but he still knows a little about the most basic parts.

Like other things, the power of the formation also depends on the cultivation of the person who set up the formation. It is absolutely impossible for a formation arranged at the Jindan stage to trap a monk at the Nascent Soul stage.

And the highest level of cultivation in the secret realm is nothing but foundation building, not to mention whether they can arrange such a fake formation, even if they can arrange it, Yi Zhou doesn't believe it, he has already completed the foundation building, and can attack the golden core himself at any time , will not find any flaws.

Turning around and staring at the mark he had made on the tree behind him, Yi Zhou raised his hand to touch it, and he could feel the ups and downs of the bark lines on the bottom of his hand.

Recalling what he saw and heard along the way, he came to a judgment in his heart—this formation was definitely not set up by the monk who entered the secret realm with him.

I was slightly relieved, ruled out this possibility, and there were only two options left, one was that the magic circle was formed naturally during the shifting of stars, and the other was laid by the master of the secret realm.

Thinking of the latter possibility, Yi Zhou gasped and shook his head quickly, trying to shake those unrealistic thoughts out of his mind.

Getting something for nothing will always be loved by most people, and monks are the same.

Whenever I hear that so-and-so encountered an adventure in a rare place, was enlightened by a senior expert or taught a unique skill, the group of heavenly favored sons of the Taiyan Sect would always discuss why they met in an envious tone. The person who encounters adventure is not oneself.

The Qiu Shao Secret Realm is not a naturally formed secret realm. It suddenly appeared tens of thousands of years ago. It is restricted to only monks below the foundation to enter, and there is no limit on the number of people. There have long been rumors that this is a place used by a senior to find heirs. .

A powerful man with a secret realm, at least at the Mahayana stage, or even - an immortal!

Forcing himself not to think about such daydreaming, Yi Zhou arbitrarily decided to classify formations as naturally formed formations.

The natural formation is unmanned. Since nothing happened after he was trapped, his safety should be guaranteed afterwards.

But this kind of guarantee is barely something to be happy about. Yi Zhou raised his head and his eyes became determined again.

The most urgent task is to find a way to break the formation.

To break the formation, you need to find the eye of the formation. For this kind of natural formation, it is very difficult, because everything touched is real, and it is difficult for you to find any disharmony in it.

Sitting here, Yi Zhou found out the jade slip that introduced the formation from the storage bag, and read the content on it several times.

Then he got up, looked at the distribution of landforms, and scanned the types of formations inside, comparing them one by one.

Many magic circles existing in the realm of comprehension evolved from natural magic circles, and Yi Zhou wanted to try to see if he could find similar types in them. In this case, he would have a higher chance of getting out.

"The distance between these two trees is fifty steps." After taking the last step, Yi Zhou said to himself, and then looked back: "The distance between the two trees before is 62 steps, and the distance before it is 48 steps."

After re-reading all the formations in the jade slips, Yi Zhou frowned slightly.

No similar type found at all.

Although the jade slip given to him by Si Heng is a basic formation, no matter how complicated the formation is, it is also evolved from the basic formation. This situation should not have happened.

Or... is this formation a type that has never been discovered?

Thinking of this possibility, Yi Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and a look of anxiety appeared on his face, but after thinking deeply, he ruled out this possibility again.

The Qiushao Secret Realm has existed for tens of thousands of years, and it has been opened hundreds of times, at least until now. If no one has ever stepped into this area during these hundreds of times, then he thinks too highly of himself.

It must be his own problem!Yi Zhou turned around in a circle, raised his hand and knocked on his forehead, there must be something he had overlooked.

After turning around in a circle, the frown between his brows loosened, and Yi Zhou looked at the area in front of him again.

The scenery in this place is monotonous, the ground is flat, with weeds that only reach ankles, and the range of vision is only as far as the two trees in front and behind.

What exactly was he neglecting?

It seems that there is no more, the boy's brows began to wrinkle again, his legs were still walking forward, probably because he was too absorbed in thinking, his walking destination deviated from a part, no longer following the straight line of a tree ahead , but drew an arc and walked to the grass in the distance.

Consciously taking everything into consideration, but still getting nothing, Yi Zhou couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

If he can't find his way out for a month, is he going to be trapped to death in the secret realm?

Thinking of this possibility, Yi Zhou clenched his fists and his breathing became slightly heavier.

The jade talisman tied to his wrist fell down to the tiger's mouth, and the familiar coolness calmed him down slightly. While stroking the lines on the jade piece with his hand, Yi Zhou raised his head, only to realize that he was going in the wrong direction.

He turned around and walked back. The grass was soft, but Yi Zhou didn't have the heart to feel it carefully.

The formation requires absolute precision, the slightest deviation may cause the formation to fail, and this kind of weed with a lifespan of only a few months is definitely not the right choice.

He moved quickly, and soon approached the giant tree in front of him, and took another step under his feet, but Yizhou suddenly stopped, lowered his head and raised one foot, looking at the weeds under his feet, his face showed Confuse.

Nothing seems wrong, but the nuance of just feeling...

Although it was not obvious, Yi Zhou felt that he could not mistakenly recognize it. He squatted down and pushed aside the fallen weeds, revealing what was hiding underneath.

It was a smaller grass, with only two leaves, the leaves were a bit thick, protecting the slightly protruding buds in the middle.

The whole grass is less than half an inch, and it looks very delicate. It is squeezed next to other weeds, and it will be ignored if you don't pay attention.

But it was such a delicate thing, it was stepped on, and nothing happened!

Touching the end of the leaf with his fingertips, Yi Zhou looked up at the trees not far away, with a dumbfounding expression on his face.

It's really... blindfolded.

The thing with only two leaves in front of me is called Longevity Vine. After it grows up, it has both softness and toughness, and it is invulnerable to water and fire.

This kind of thing is rarely seen in the world of comprehension, not because its growth conditions are so harsh, on the contrary, the long live vine can survive normally even if it grows in the mortal world without a trace of aura.

The reason why it is so rare is that this thing lives up to its name, it takes 10 years to grow, and before it grows, it will remain in a budding state.

Just like what he saw before his eyes.

Seeing this, all the confusion that lingered in his heart before disappeared.

Those trees should be just a way to hide the eyes, but the real formation of this formation is the little guy who is no more than half an inch tall in front of him.

It is impossible to have only one vine and grass in the formation. It took Yizhou three days to find the key point, trampled all over the place, and finally found all the long live vines.

After marking the position of the long live vine head, Yi Zhou compared it to the jade slip, and he could see the type of formation at a glance.

It's just the simplest phantom array.

This kind of anticlimactic result made Yizhou a little bit disappointed, feeling that his efforts in the past few days were not commensurate with the current results.

This kind of emotion only existed for a very short time. Yi Zhou knew what was the most important thing now. According to the description in the jade slip, he found the gate corresponding to the formation and dug out the long live vine planted there.

It seems that nothing happened, the surrounding weeds are still there, and the towering giant tree is still in front of it.

Yi Zhou was holding the long live vine seedling in his hand, with a confused expression on his face.

Could it be that he found the wrong place?

He stood up, took out the jade slip again, and compared it to the pattern on it, but no matter how he looked, the position where the long live vine was planted was exactly the same as the formation eye marked in the jade slip.

Could it be that there is more than one formation in this place?

With doubts in his heart, Yi Zhou was going to look at other long live vines.

As soon as he turned around, he froze.

The front is still the same grass, but the back has changed.

Several thatched huts suddenly appeared where there was a meadow more than ten feet away from him.

The thatched house is surrounded by a fence, and on the fence, there are many long-lived vines that have grown up. In the middle of the fenced yard, there is a crooked gate that looks like it can be blown down by a gust of wind.

Yi Zhou felt his heartbeat suddenly quicken, and the idea that he thought was absurd before became a reality!

Clenching the jade talisman on his wrist tightly, he looked around to confirm that there was no danger before walking forward step by step.

The courtyard door in front of me is closed, and there are three big characters "Wei Mingju" engraved on the door. The handwriting is not good, like a child's random graffiti, but if you look closely, there is a unique artistic conception in it, which makes people addicted.

Averting his eyes from the plaque on the door, Yi Zhou looked at the courtyard gate in front of him.

The gates of the courtyard are crooked, one is high and the other is low, the surface is uneven, and it looks tattered, but it is this tattered door that emits a unique fragrance. This fragrance has been recorded in many places, but it can drive away The white wood of the heart demon is worth tens of thousands of spiritual stones per inch.

Yi Zhou was speechless at the arrogance of the owner of the courtyard, and unconsciously looked elsewhere. Just as he was looking at it, the courtyard door suddenly opened by itself.

A thin voice came from inside: "Why don't you come in?"

Yi Zhou stepped back suddenly: "Who are you?"

"Hmm." The voice was lost in thought, before replying after a while: "I am me."

Yi Zhou: ...

This somewhat nonsensical answer made the tension in his heart dissipate a lot, and he took another step forward, looking into the courtyard from the outside.

Seeing him standing outside, the owner of the voice was a little anxious, and his thin voice was a little louder: "Come in quickly."

Yi Zhou didn't move, and asked, "What are you going in for?"

"Come in and accept Master Zhongtian's test!" The voice suddenly became excited: "As long as you pass the test, you will become the most powerful person in the sky and on earth, and be worshiped by thousands of people!"

Yi Zhou was not affected by its emotions, and asked, "Who is Lord Zhongtian?"

"Master Zhongtian is the master of this place, the most powerful person in the world!"

Yi Zhou: "..."

The voice didn't wait for a reply, and asked again: "Why don't you speak?"

The cultivator outside the courtyard coughed lightly: "I can become the most powerful person by myself."

"That's definitely not as powerful as Lord Zhongtian!"

Yi Zhou: "Oh"

It was the first time I encountered such a cold answering voice, and I was a little stuck for a while, and I didn't know what to do.

"Then, then, if you pass the test, everything in this yard will be yours. Mr. Zhongtian is very rich, do you want to come?" After a long time, the voice said again.

Yi Zhou asked, "Does that include you?"

"..."

The voice didn't reply for a long time, until Yizhou took a step back, and then heard it say: "Well, including me, but I'm different! You can't hurt me, and you can't force me to do things you don't like, and ..."

The small voice began to bargain with him, and Yi Zhou keenly noticed that when it was talking, the tips of the long live vines surrounding the fence kept shaking, and it looked very excited.

So this is a grass that has opened up the wisdom?

Seeing this scene, the last trace of doubt in Yi Zhou's heart was also dispelled. He raised his leg and walked into the courtyard, which was originally closed automatically behind him.

"There are a few rooms here, you can choose one to go in." Seeing the person coming in, the voice was a little satisfied, it imitated the owner's appearance in its memory, slowed down, and said softly: "Remember that you can only choose one .”

"What's the difference?"

"I can't tell you this." The thin voice quickly replied: "Since entering the courtyard, Lord Zhongtian's test for you has begun!"

After saying this, it shut its mouth, and no matter how Yizhou asked him, it didn't say a word.

It seems that I really can't say it, I glanced at the trembling vines from the corner of my eye, Yi Zhou smiled, and carefully looked at the few rooms in front of me.

There are five thatched huts that look like they are about to collapse, and each of them looks about the same, so it's hard to see what's behind it.

Then just pick one.

It was originally something that was not planned, even if this test fails, it is no big deal.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhou raised his legs and walked towards the fourth room from the left.

Reaching out to push open the door, Yi Zhou walked in.

Unlike what it looks like from the outside, the inside of the house has a lot of space and is not shabby at all.

There are no windows in the room, and a lotus-shaped lamp holder protrudes from the four walls at intervals. The pearls on the lamp holder emit warm yellow light, illuminating every corner of the room.

In the center of the room, there is a high platform with a book on it, and there are steps extending down all around.

Yi Zhou lifted his foot and walked up the steps.

As soon as I stepped on the first step, I saw a different appearance in front of my eyes.

The platform and the room were gone, and there was another thatched cottage in front of it. In front of the thatched cottage was a stream, in which several children were playing and playing.

"Look, I caught a fish!" said a child excitedly.

Another child said: "This fish is so small that you can't even eat it. Look, I'll catch a bigger one for you!"

"Yeah."

"Catch a big one and let my mother make fish soup!"

"I don't want fish soup, I want meat."

"Okay then, you eat meat and I drink soup."

Children are always optimistic and innocent. Before the fish is caught, several people discuss how to distribute the fish after they have it.

Until the kid who said he was going to catch a big fish said, "Don't quarrel, you will kill all the fish."

Those people are quiet.

Only the sound of water remained in my ears, and after a while, even the sound of water disappeared.

"Brother Ah Tian, ​​where have you been?" After the voice disappeared for a while, the group of children began to feel that something was wrong, and shouted one after another.

Their shouts attracted other villagers in the village, and a group of people paddled boats in the river shouting for salvage, but they never got a response.

Someone was crying on the shore, and the people next to her comforted her. The woman's voice was choked up, and she only uttered a word, and all the words after that were blocked in her throat.

The shouting didn't stop until it was dark, and someone said: "I haven't seen anyone for so long, is it..."

"What are you talking about?" The person next to him patted him.

"Isn't what I said true? We've been busy for a long time, do you see any results?" The man was not convinced, and pushed forward again.

"Okay, don't talk about it, just fish it down and see, the river isn't that deep." The other person sighed: "After all, even if...something really happened, we have to find the person."

Their efforts did not yield any results. After dark, it was dangerous to go down the river. People around the river left one after another, with words from their parents admonishing their young children.

"Don't go to the river to play in the future, you know!"

Only the child's parents did not leave. Without a boat, they found a long bamboo pole and went to the bottom of the river where the accident happened, but they still found nothing.

In the wind came the sound of a woman crying again.

"Okay, don't cry." The man put down the bamboo pole, and said impatiently, "You started crying before Xiao Tian died, do you not want him to come back?"

After he finished speaking, the woman's crying stopped.

The couple did useless work all night, and were persuaded to go back the next day.

As time passed day by day, people in the village almost agreed that the child who fell into the river was dead, and even the couple had accepted it, thinking about secretly ranking the child.

Just when everyone's life began to return to normal, that night, there was a sudden sound of water in the river, and a shadow swam from the center of the river to the bank and climbed onto the bank.

The consistent scenery in front of Yi Zhou began to change, he followed the shadow, watched him walk into the thatched cottage by the river, pushed open one of the rooms, took off his wet clothes and lay on the bed.

There were three children born in this family, all of whom lived together, and the shadow squeezed up, and the other two children also got used to it, and each moved a little distance to the side in their sleep.

The night was gradually passing, and the sky was about to dawn. The farmers got up early. The couple packed up and got ready to go to the field. Before leaving, they woke up the children in the other room and asked them to get up and cook.

The child sleeping on the outermost side hummed, narrowed his eyes a little, and arched himself under the quilt to get up.

"Sangou, you are sleeping on my side again!" The boy muttered when his butt touched another person's body, and turned around to slap his younger brother to wake him up.

Turning his head, the boy met another pair of open eyes.

"Ah!!" The familiar look made him fall off the bed in fright, and the cry woke up the other person on the bed, and also made the couple who had just gone out run back.

"What's the matter, what is the ghost screaming in the early morning?" The woman opened the door and walked into the room, intending to teach the elder son a lesson, but she saw the elder son sitting on the ground, looking at the bed in horror.

Seeing her coming in, the boy on the ground seemed to have found his backbone. He turned his head and pointed to the bed, and said tremblingly, "Mother, brother, brother has returned as a ghost."

"I'm not a ghost, I was asked by the elder to learn the magic of immortality." The child on the bed couldn't tolerate the slander, and said angrily as he lifted the quilt.

The person who had been in the dream suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. The woman's pupils shrank slightly, her face full of disbelief, and the man who came in a step later met the boy's eyes.

After that, there was a burst of chicken and dog jumping.

No matter how much the kid who woke up explained, the rest of the family didn't believe his words. They thought it was just that the son/brother was too homesick, so they had to come back to see him after he died.

In the end, feelings defeated fear, and the whole family accepted the fact that the boy came back, and found a just right reason for his existence, so that he would say so to outsiders in the future.

……

Everyone in the whole village knew that the second son of the Wu family at the entrance of the village had returned. It is said that he was washed away by the water and was picked up by people from the neighboring villages. He walked for a few days before returning.

The river flows through several villages, and the couple did not specify which village it was, and no one else would bother to find out.

It's always a good thing.

The parents around him don't believe his words, and the child will also have doubts about himself, but he still follows what he was taught before, no longer sleeping at night, and instead meditating.

As the days passed, the boy gradually grew into a teenager, and the parents gradually forgot the scene many years ago, busy proposing to him.

On the day when the marriage was agreed and the two families discussed the date of marriage, the peace in the village was suddenly broken.

Several immortal elders came from a distant fairy mountain, saying that they came to select people with immortal fate and bring them to the sect to practice.

The fairy elders are all able to go to the world and have the ability to reach the sky. After seeing those people standing on the flying sword, Lizheng quickly called out all the teenagers of the right age in the village for them to choose.

The boy is in there too.

There is no one who has spiritual roots among mortals. In this village, only a young man has spiritual roots.

The young man who already knew the other world would naturally not miss this opportunity. He bid farewell to his parents and boarded the flying sword for a long journey.

The flying sword was raised, and Yi Zhou was able to leave the village.

He followed the young man, taking his nervousness, fear, longing and other emotions into his eyes, flying the sword for a day and a night, and landed at the foot of a mountain.

"Brothers and sisters, we have arrived." The leader on the flying sword said to the group of people.

The picture ends here, and the house in front of him becomes the house again, the surrounding pearls emit a halo, and his two feet are standing on the steps.

Looking up at the high platform not far away, Yi Zhou realized something. He lowered his head slightly and looked at the steps under his feet.

Why is this form a bit like the way of asking the sect?

Putting aside all the doubts in his mind, Yi Zhou set foot on another level.

The picture that appeared in front of me this time was a larger courtyard.

There was a group of people standing in the yard, both male and female, all of them were imposing. The young man and another chubby companion stood opposite the group of people, with dissatisfaction on their faces.

"You are bullying!" said the little fat man.

"What's wrong with just bullying you?" The leader sneered, "I, Tai Yanzong, don't want such a spineless person."

Yi Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and he saw the young man take a step forward and said, "I agree to the competition."
