Climbing up the waterfall, steps soon appeared.

After climbing thousands of steps, we came to a platform.

The platform was shrouded in clouds and mist, and there seemed to be something hidden behind the clouds and mist in front of it, and some outlines could be vaguely seen.In addition, you can only see the green bricks that paved the platform.

Large blocks of blue bricks spread out, and a huge pattern of auspicious clouds was inlaid in the middle, and within the auspicious clouds was a circular Eight Diagrams diagram.There are white marble columns carved around the platform, and dozens of flowers, such as plum, orchid, chrysanthemum, lotus, peony, and so on, are carved on the column heads, which are lifelike and different.

Starting from this platform, it should obviously be within the main realm of the Twelve Peaks of Xuankong.

Shui Wuxiu stood in the middle of the auspicious cloud pattern in the middle, dancing gracefully in green clothes, looking like a fairy.

Standing next to her was a pale man, a little older, with two mustaches, a Taoist robe in Tsing Yi, a feather fan in his hand, and a serious expression.

"Everyone standing here has passed the first round of exams. Congratulations." Shui Wuxiu counted the number of people, and weeded out from the initial nearly [-] to less than [-], with a happy expression on his face.This physical strength test eliminated nearly [-]% of the candidates, which can be regarded as quite effective.

She looked around for a week and looked at Mu Tianye, but she didn't stop, and introduced the Taoist standing beside her, "This is the chief examiner of the second round of exams, Zhu Xiuyuan, Senior Brother Zhu."

Zhu Xiuyuan and Shui Wuxiu exchanged positions, and saluted with fists together, "I'm Zhu Xiuyuan from Bowen Peak, and I'm the chief examiner of the mental test. Once again, congratulations to all of you for coming to the Tiangang Hall, the front hall of the Xuankong Twelve Peaks." He said As soon as the words fell, the clouds behind him and Shui Wuxiu dispersed, and a magnificent palace appeared in it, with high eaves and teeth, green bricks and green tiles.

"The top [-]% of the second round of exams can enter the third round of qualification exams. The next exam will start. Please follow me into the hall." As soon as he finished speaking, he and Shui Wuxiu and the two of them brushed the floor together. Disappeared.

"Where are people?" The candidates looked around, but there was no one on the platform except the magnificent Tiangang Hall.

"That Zhu Xiuyuan asked us to follow him, but he was nowhere to be seen. How can we follow him?" Someone said in a desperate tone.

"Let's take a look in the main hall first." Huai Anruo said.Most people thought so too, so they walked towards the main entrance of Tiangang Hall.

But when he pushed the door, he found that the door of the main hall could not be opened.Even if you kick it with your feet and pry it with a tool, you can't push it with the strength of several people.

"I think this door has been enchanted. Those of us who don't know magic can't push it open with brute force." Someone realized.

"That Zhu Xiuyuan said to follow him into the palace, is entering the palace a test?" someone asked.

"That is to say, from now on, it is considered that the exam has started?" You said humanely.

"So it's testing our ability now?" Someone echoed.

Huai Anruo leaned closer to Xiaolei, "In my opinion, we need to use our brains now to find a way to enter the main hall."

Nodding to Xiaolei, Mu Tianye pulled him over, not letting Huai Anruo get closer.

Realizing that the exam had already begun, the examinees kept their mouths shut and stopped revealing the news to those around them.And spread out, looking for clues and clues that might enter the hall on the platform and before and after the hall.

Some people searched carefully in front and back of the hall.Some people are observing the patterns on the windows of the main hall, trying to find clues to enter the hall from the carved textures.Some people are observing the law and arc of the corners of the cornices.Some people are observing the arrangement of the curved wood of the bucket arch.Some are comparing the animals on the ridges of the cornices to see the difference in form and number.

Xiang Xiaolei also suspected that there was something strange about the six beasts on the five ridges, so he called Huai Anruo to take a look. It is the same as the spine-suppressing beasts of ordinary palaces, and there is no difference." He came from a noble family, saw many carved beams and painted buildings, and although he is not familiar with the structures of various palaces, he still knows a thing or two.

Since Huai'an said that there is no mystery, maybe there is no mystery.Xiang Xiaolei has never taken an introduction to ancient architecture, so he doesn't know what's wrong with it.Mu Amano came from a poor family and had never been to these magnificent places.

In addition to those who were looking for clues around the palace, another group of people were knocking on the platform, trying to find clues.

The blue bricks on the platform all look the same, nothing has changed. If there is any change, it is the gossip pattern in the middle.

But what is wrong with gossip?Xiang Xiaolei also went over to take a look. Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Xun, Gen, and Dui were in line with the general gossip.The hexagram facing Tiangang Temple is Qian, opposite to it is Kun, Huo Guali on the left, Shui Gua Kan on the right, Ze Guadui on the upper left, Shan Gua Gen on the lower right, Feng Gua Xun on the upper right, and Xun on the lower left. Lei Gua shook.There is nothing special about pairing each other, yin and yang complement each other.

Is it possible to move or turn?Xiang Xiaolei jumped up and down on the gossip floor tiles, without moving a muscle.He asked Mu Tianye to poke around again, to see if he could turn the gossip around, but Mu Tianye couldn't shake the floor tiles despite his great efforts.

If the gossip map is not a clue, Xiang Xiaolei looks around.Could it be that the clues are on these railings carved with white marble?

Xiang Xiaolei checked the railing again. The white marble column was smooth and smooth. The lotus flower on the column cap had big petals and stamens were just exposed, lifelike. It was obviously not an ordinary thing, but there were no other clues.

Nothing can be done.

"Brother, be careful." Mu Tianye saw Xiang Xiaolei lying on the pillar thinking, and wanted to give him a hand.The railing is the end of the platform, and outside the railing is the abyss.

Xiang Xiaolei was wondering where the clues should be, and recalled Zhu Xiuyuan's words, wondering if there were any clues in it.As soon as Mu Tianye's words came out, his thoughts were interrupted. He straightened up and subconsciously took a step back, but he stepped on the ground and fell down.Mu Tianye hurriedly rushed up, grabbed the railing with one hand, and hugged him with the other.

so close!Xiang Xiaolei broke out in a cold sweat, stretched out his arms to hug Mu Tianye, and turned his head slightly to look down.Surrounded by clouds and mists, they saw towering peaks. They climbed for two days, and now they should be halfway up Tianmen Peak, where they can already see the distant mountains.

"Brother, are you alright?" Mu Tianye carried him back to the platform, he still had lingering fear, his heart was beating non-stop.

Suddenly, there was a scream in the distance, and following the sound, I saw a falling figure.Where the person who fell was originally standing, stood a young man in black, holding on to the capital of the railing.

If Mu Tianye hadn't stopped him in time just now, he might have fallen off the cliff just like that person.Thinking of this, Xiang Xiaolei couldn't help looking at Mu Tianye, and Mu Tianye was also looking at him. The moment their eyes intersected, both of them were a little embarrassed, and hurriedly turned their faces away.

Mu Tianye put him down, and he glanced in that direction again, the young man in black was still standing where someone fell just now.

When that person fell off the platform, the young man in black was standing beside him.If he stretched out his hand, or...Xiang Xiaolei saw a long sword behind him, if he stretched out the long sword, the person who fell off the cliff might be saved, but why didn't he do that?Just like Mu Tianye saved him just now...

Moreover, the young man in black didn't call for help, nor did he panic at all. Could it be...he pushed him down?

Someone is killing someone?Xiang Xiaolei reacted.It should be like this. When that person fell off the cliff, the young man in black was there. He didn't rescue him or call for help. It was as if he had expected it a long time ago.Unexpectedly, candidates would kill each other...but why?

The young man in black poked his head and saw that the man had fallen out of sight, so he looked around.When looking in Xiaolei's direction, Xiang Xiaolei hurriedly buried himself in Mu Tianye's chest, letting Mu Tianye completely block him, and Mu Tianye's back was facing him, so he should not be remembered.

On the contrary, Mu Tianye was distracted by his little brother's blow, and he couldn't help hugging him again after letting go of his hand.

That person just now...why did he kill someone?Is it because the two have long had grievances?Or is it a temporary idea?Or... the person who was killed knew the clue to enter the temple?Xiang Xiaolei didn't notice Mu Tianye's movements, but only thought of the young man in black with his hands on the railing post, looking calm and composed.

Just now Mu Tianye rescued him by grabbing the railing, the young man in black could clearly grab the railing, lean out and grab the person who fell off the cliff.But the man just held on to the railing, expressionless.Thinking of this, Xiang Xiaolei felt chills and subconsciously looked at the railing.

When I see the railings, I always feel that there is something different.Xiang Xiaolei looked at the beautifully carved and lifelike lotus flower on the stigma, each petal seemed to be alive, stretching and blooming with all its strength, and the stamen in the middle was fully bloomed.

When I looked at the lotus stigma before, the petals were not so stretched, and the stamens were not fully exposed... Moreover, the position of the stamens has also changed.

It seems that... the entire column head was twisted and deflected.

"Hush, answer me in a low voice." Xiang Xiaolei lay on Mu Tianye's chest and asked sullenly, "Did you grab the post of the railing just now?"

Mu Tianye didn't know why Xiang Xiaolei asked this, but he still tried his best to recall. He remembered that what he caught was not smooth, but a shaped object, which should be a lotus-shaped sculpture.

"It should be." Mu Amano nodded.

Could it be that... the column head can be rotated?Xiang Xiaolei guessed that Mu Tianye had just grabbed the stigma, so he shifted the direction of the stigma, causing the stigma to rotate.After spinning, the lotus bloomed.
