Big brother, he is frail

Taking out the night pearl, a soft light appeared in the darkness, illuminating the area near the two of them.

Compared with the slightly narrow opening, the interior is much more spacious.They are currently located in a passage, the walls of which have been polished to an incomparable level by some unknown method, without a trace of bumps or convexities.When I first entered the cave, the ground was still potholed and there were a few plants growing along the wall.Going further in, the ground became very flat and covered with a layer of brown stone slabs. Even if you walked on it lightly, you could still hear crisp echoes from the depths of the cave.

It's a long, long tunnel that feels completely endless.There is no channel with the slightest change, no light, and a boring way forward. If you are a person with poor perseverance, you may be tortured and go crazy by the endless way forward if you don't reach the end.

The concept of time was blurred here, Lu Xinglan felt that they had walked for a full ten days.

But in fact they walked for less than 10 minutes.

Fortunately, this consumption of willpower is nothing to cultivators, even if they go for a hundred days without food or drink, it is no problem.

A ray of light appeared ahead, and Lu Xinglan realized that they had finally reached their destination - the hall where the secret treasure was stored.

If you want to get the sword, you must accept the inheritance, and the inheritance is not so easy to obtain, you need to pass the trials left by the predecessors.

And the location of the trial is in the hall.

When Lu Xinglan and Shen Xizhou stepped out of the door at the end of the passage at the same time, a clear and bright voice suddenly appeared, which seemed real and unreal, not like a real voice.

"Two more friends are here, ha, how long has it been since this place has been so lively?"

Following the sound, there was a statue in the middle of the empty hall.A man in armor lowered his head, his face was blurred, his hands rested on the sword, barely standing on the support of the sword.A small half of the cloak behind the man was torn off, and the remaining half was blown up by the wind, giving him a heroic look.

It was as if on a battlefield, the horses and companions fell one by one, and the whole army was wiped out, leaving him alone struggling, isolated and helpless.

Even so, he couldn't give up.Stand up, there is still a fight.

For some reason, Lu Xinglan felt a sense of tragedy.

However, this feeling was quickly put aside by Lu Xinglan, and he didn't have a chance to delve into it.Because under the statue, two figures caught his attention.

And those two people, Lu Xinglan actually knew each other!

Isn't the tall and strong man standing on the left, the familiar epee behind him, and the impatient expression with his arms folded, that's Zhuang Jinxuan?

"Why are you here!" Zhuang Jinxuan was startled when he heard footsteps behind him and looked back.

Although I heard the voice say that there are still people who have not come in, I have to wait.But Zhuang Jinxuan didn't expect that it was Lu Xinglan and Shen Xizhou who came here!

It's not that friends don't get together, alas!

And the person standing behind Zhuang Jinxuan made Lu Xinglan's heart tighten.

That person turned out to be the man in black who had appeared in Lu Xinglan's dream.Unable to sense any waves of aura, the black clothes on the opponent's body seemed to be able to hide the aura.The covered face was covered with a layer of black mist, making it impossible to see the face clearly.

Lu Xinglan knew that this man in black had no good intentions.But why Zhuang Jinxuan would be with him! ?

Things are getting more and more chaotic.

In the original book, only Shen Xizhou came here and successfully passed the trial.However, there is little mention of the content of his trial in the original book, only that the process was a little turbulent.

Looking at the current situation, Zhuang Jinxuan and the man in black obviously came to accept the inheritance.

As the number of people undergoing trials increases, it is impossible to know whether the difficulty of the trials will increase.

Lu Xinglan said via voice transmission: "Be careful of that man in black."

"how?"

"He is related to the blood ganoderma."

With a simple sentence, Shen Xizhou immediately understood that the man in black was an enemy rather than a friend.Temporarily suppress the murderous aura, so as not to startle the snake, but the heart is more alert than before.

"Of course we came here for the inheritance." Lu Xinglan's expression remained the same, he looked at the silent man in black, and tentatively said, "This shouldn't be from the Lingyun Sect, right? I didn't expect you to be quite sociable." Wide, even people outside the sect know each other.”

This is of course nonsense, who doesn't know that the second senior brother of Lingyunzong is a loner, and the worst thing he is good at is communication.Lu Xinglan just wanted to see if he could get some information about the man in black from Zhuang Jinxuan.

It's a pity that Zhuang Jinxuan doesn't seem to know too well.

"He? I met him on a mission a month ago. He said that there is a powerful inheritance here, so I came here... No, why should I explain to you!" Zhuang Jinxuan stomped his feet angrily, and asked back, " How did you know this place?"

Lu Xinglan sneered: "Everyone outside the sect knows the secret treasures in the Lingyun sect, why can't I know."

Hearing Lu Xinglan's words, the man in black moved his head slightly, as if he had glanced at him, but he remained silent.

Zhuang Jinxuan really has a big heart, he didn't even know the identity of the man in black, so he followed him.If Lu Xinglan guessed correctly, Zhuang Jinxuan was tricked into being a spearman.The man in black was not sure that he could get the inheritance, so he found someone stronger than himself.If Zhuang Jinxuan obtained the inheritance, he should have another way to seize the secret treasure.

At this time, Lu Xinglan couldn't feel the powerful power emanating from the man in black in his dream.The blood ganoderma was destroyed in advance, and the man in black's plan failed, so he didn't get the power.

But judging from the current situation, Lu Xinglan and the others still had an advantage, because the man in black didn't know that Lu Xinglan and Shen Xizhou had already known his hostile identity.

As the saying goes, the enemy is clear and we are dark.

After several people finished speaking, the voice appeared again: "It seems that you all know each other, do you all want to accept the inheritance?"

Everyone present except Lu Xinglan nodded.

The man laughed a few times: "But this inheritance is not as perfect as you think. If you look at it as an ordinary inheritance, it can only exert half of its power, although this half of its power is not as good as it is for this plane. It is also extremely powerful. If you want to go beyond its rules and use more powerful abilities, you will have to pay a huge price. Even so, do you want it?"

Lu Xinglan glanced at Shen Xizhou, who thought that the elder brother was worried about him, so he said, "I can."

Lu Xinglan laughed: "Of course I know you can."

The other two had no objection and insisted on accepting the inheritance.

"Okay, the trial is about to begin. Those who want to quit can also quit now, but once they enter the trial, they cannot be terminated."

Lu Xinglan silently took a step back, he didn't intend to participate in it.

Several circles of golden runes suddenly surrounded the other three people, surrounding them from head to toe, and the next three people disappeared in place and disappeared without a trace.

At this time, only Lu Xinglan stayed in the hall holding the Tianyi Tiger.

"Little friend, come closer." The man said suddenly.

near?Is that the statue?

Lu Xinglan followed his words and came to the statue.You can feel the grandeur of this statue even more if you look closely.Its carving skills are extremely exquisite, even the patterns on the armor and the tiny scratches are carved vividly. Except for the color, the whole statue looks like the real thing.

Lu Xinglan boldly stretched out his hand and touched the biggest wound on the statue's right chest.A long gun pierced his heart from behind, the tip of the gun was missing, and the body of the gun was stuck in his body, which hurt a lot.

This is already a fatal blow, right?It is hard to imagine what kind of will he finally stood up with.

At this time, Lu Xinglan's fingers touched the wound, and a wisp of white spiritual energy emerged from there, floated around in the air, and then entered the body of the Sky Winged Tiger.

The Sky Winged Tiger's condition was much better than before.

"This little tiger has also been with me for a long time. I used the last bit of spiritual energy left in the statue to temporarily stop his wound." The voice was very close, as if he was right next to Lu Xinglan, The feeling of stroking the Tianyi Tiger's head with his hand.

"Aren't you the one who left the inheritance?" Lu Xinglan asked suddenly.

The voice paused for a second before he said, "How did you know that I wasn't?"

"The Sky Winged Tiger didn't react much when it heard your voice, so I guess you are not its owner."

In fact, Lu Xinglan knew it because it was mentioned in the original book.The person who spoke is just the gatekeeper here. His soul is trapped here, guarding the inheritance, and the inheritor can only be freed after he obtains the inheritance.

After Shen Xizhou obtained the inheritance, the voice disappeared.It should have completed the task and left here.

"You're right, I'm not its owner. I'm just a broken soul floating here."

There was a touch of desolation and self-deprecation in his voice, overflowing with deep sadness.

Lu Xinglan was silent and did not speak.

He added: "Since you don't intend to accept that inheritance, can you please accept something. I originally planned to leave with it, but I can't bear to think about it."

Lu Xinglan thought for a while, then asked cautiously: "Can I ask what it is?"

"It's not something taboo, you can rest assured. But before I give it to you, I want you to take a look at the world inside, how about it? You can refuse, I will still give it to you."

"No, I want to see it."

This answer made the other party very satisfied: "I really didn't misread you."

Generally speaking, a cultivator will not easily enter other people's "world". Who knows if it is a trap, whether the other party will lock him in the world?

So Lu Xinglan agreed without hesitation, which made him very relieved.

Next, Lu Xinglan felt that he had lost his center of gravity, and an unknown gravitational force was attracting him. In the blink of an eye, the scene in front of him changed from the hall to a vast expanse of sand.The sky was covered with a thick layer of dark clouds, which hit the ground. The sky and the earth were squeezed by the clouds, so narrow that it seemed that there was only a thin slit left, through which gusts of cold wind blew.The wind is getting stronger, forming a vortex in the distance, constantly sucking up the clouds in the sky, sweeping across the sandy land at an extremely fast speed, and gradually drifting away.

The whirlwind kept moving towards the edge of the sandy ground, and when Lu Xinglan was about to lose sight, the whirlwind suddenly shattered, and the clouds and mist scattered like brilliant white fireworks.In the cloud and mist, a group of black shadows gradually rushed towards Lu Xinglan, with a huge momentum, the sound shook the sky, and the whole ground shook.Lu Xinglan saw a group of soldiers on horseback, holding a sword or flag in one hand, and holding the reins in the other, roaring towards them.

Huge killing intent hit his face, even though it wasn't aimed at him, Lu Xinglan still took a step back, wanting to take out the Qijue Sword to defend himself.However, his pupils moved slightly, as if he had seen through something, Lu Xinglan stood still in place.

At the forefront of the army, there was a tall and handsome red horse with flying blood-red mane, hooves hooves, ups and downs, flying up and down, with extraordinary power, and the person riding on him was covered with cold battle armor, red His cloak was lifted by the wind, and he held a sharp sword in his hand, the tip of which touched Lu Xinglan's head.

They were getting closer and closer, and the sword was only an inch away from Lu Xinglan's forehead.Lu Xinglan closed his eyes, the sword pierced through the bridge of his nose, and then the man's hands and body also passed through Lu Xinglan.

There were deafening roars and the sound of horseshoes in his ears, his heart was pounding, and a drop of cold sweat slid down Lu Xinglan's cheeks.

After the sound faded away, Lu Xinglan opened his eyes.

Turning around, the blood on the back was pouring into the sky, and those soldiers joined the battle, fighting the enemy to the death.

It was the tallest and mightiest general who fought the most fiercely. Wherever the sword edge went, an enemy would surely fall.He shouted and sprinted to boost morale. This team, which was worth a thousand people, unexpectedly exploded with an aura comparable to tens of thousands.

Lu Xinglan was shocked watching this fierce battle.

A mass of white light flashed behind him, and a translucent person came out.

With a resolute face and a blue beard on his chin, he was wearing a broken armor, but his prestige remained undiminished.Such a seemingly alive person was actually dead long ago, and what appeared here was only his soul.

"These are my soldiers, how about it?" The general smiled at the bloody warriors, his eyes revealing nostalgia.

"Well, very handsome!" Lu Xinglan praised without hesitation, "It's very imposing."

"Unfortunately, they are only in my dream."

Thoughts drift to the distant era, the same battlefield, different endings.He watched his companions fall one by one, blood flowing like a river.

They guarded him and told him to leave.

As long as the general is there, the army is there.

However, he didn't run away until the end. His whole body was stained with the blood of his companions, so he was not qualified to walk out of that battlefield.

When he was about to lose his hold, a fetish appeared.

It turned out that under that piece of land, there was a treasure buried. It was moved by the general's determination and broke out of the ground.

Under the guidance of the gods, the general made a wish.He recalled the souls of all his companions and lured them into a void of dreams.Here, they don't have to be entangled by failure and pain. Here they fight battles and win victories again and again, and they never get tired of it.

The price of those fighters is the suspension of time and the reincarnation of obliteration.

The price of the general is even heavier, that is, the protection of the holy treasure, the imprisonment of the soul, and the elimination of consciousness.

If the general completes his mission, he will disappear from this world completely, not even his soul can be preserved.

But he didn't tell anyone about this ending, he just told them that he just went to reincarnation.

"I'm very relieved to hand them over to you. After the other three complete their trials, there will be no me in this world. The general left and the army's morale is shaken. I hope you will become their new general, at least not to make them lose their way .”

"It's different. The general in their hearts will always be you, and you are the only one who can inspire them. I can take them away, but let's forget about the general."

Looking at them on the battlefield, Lu Xinglan knew that no one could change the deep bond between them.

"What will happen to these soldiers if they leave this dreamland?" Lu Xinglan asked.

"I don't know." The fetish didn't tell him that much.He only knows that the soul with obsession will be trapped and become a lonely ghost wandering on the battlefield.That's why he paid the price to lead them into the dream.Rather than being a wild ghost, it may be better to immerse yourself in a sweet dream.

"Will it be reincarnation?" Lu Xinglan murmured to himself.

"It would be great if you could."

"Maybe," Lu Xinglan said with a smile, "but before that, I might lend you a soldier."

"They'll be glad to help you. Well, please."

After he finished speaking, Lu Xinglan's body gradually became transparent, turning into dots of fluorescent light, and disappeared on the battlefield.

After appearing in the lobby, there was an extra painting in his hand.After unfolding, the ink painting of iron cavalry galloping on the battlefield is vivid, and the roar of war horses and the cry of soldiers echo in my ears.The Sky Winged Tiger in its arms sniffed the scroll, and tapped lightly on the paper with its small paws.There is an inscription - cavalry army and general war taboo, the time of painting has passed a thousand years.

"General Zhan?" Lu Xinglan called out, but Zhan Ji didn't respond to him.

"Lu Xinglan, didn't you say you won't participate in the trial?"

Zhuang Jinxuan sat cross-legged on the ground, wiped his sword with a cloth in his hand, looked at Lu Xinglan, and asked.

Lu Xinglan was surprised, he didn't expect him to pass the trial so quickly! ?
