[Cultivation] When tricks are in progress

Wang Shimo and a group of children stood in an open space under the gate of Tianchengzong Mountain, while the adults were waiting aside, there were rich lords in luxurious clothes, and some peasants in ragged clothes, but they all stared at their children with hope in their eyes. I hope to be found out that I have spiritual roots and be included in the family.

Wang Shimo was in a daze for a while, and knew that he was the son of a prince of the Qing Dynasty in the mortal world. with him.

Wang Shimo met his eyes and smiled slightly. It was just an entry test, and it should be easy for him, after all, he was already a cultivator in the pulse condensing stage.

In the next second, his smile froze, what about his cultivation?No matter how he pushed his dantian, there was no spiritual power in the meridians, and he couldn't even sense the spiritual energy in the air. What's going on?

Seeing his sudden change of expression, Wang Shiyan was also anxious for unknown reasons: "Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing the shout, Wang Shimo raised his head to look at the sweaty young man, and then turned his head to look at the disciple of Tianchengzong who was testing his spiritual root on the high platform. Yes, he is now the younger brother of Wang Shiyan in this world. Start practicing, how can you have spiritual power.

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Wang Shiyan: "Brother, I'm fine."

"It's fine, I was shocked." Wang Shiyan patted his chest, and then he relaxed.

Standing next to Wang Shimo was a fat boy, slightly taller than him. Seeing the interaction between the two, he tugged on his sleeve familiarly: "Hey, that's your brother? It's so kind to you."

Wang Shimo turned his head and glanced at the child. Although he was a bit fat, he had exquisite facial features and fair skin. When he smiled, his crescent eyes narrowed into a line, which was very cute.

"Yes." Wang Shimo replied.

"My name is Wang Cheng, what's your name?" Wang Cheng was so innocent that he couldn't bear the slightest resentment.

"Wang Shimo."

"Hey, what a coincidence, maybe we were one family 500 years ago." Wang Cheng laughed.

Wang Shimo smiled slightly, this little fat man didn't talk to people at all, so he nodded immediately: "Maybe."

Just as Wang Cheng was about to say something more, he heard his name being called from above, and hurriedly said to Wang Shimo: "I'll go first." He trotted up to the stage.

A disciple of Tianchengzong who was wearing an azure Taoist robe asked him to put his hand on a round spar beside him, close his eyes and apply force, the originally gray spar flashed a white light, nodded, "has spiritual roots." Let him Stand on the other side of the table.

There were already more than a dozen children there, and they all looked excited, obviously they all tested to have spiritual roots.

Wang Shimo's eyes flickered. That kind of spar is the most primitive spiritual enlightenment stone. It can only detect whether a person has spiritual roots, but as for the attributes and the quality of spiritual roots, they can't detect it. Why does Tianchengzong use this kind of detection? In this way, regardless of qualifications, they are mixed together to train them. Doesn't it delay the good qualifications?

Obviously, this question is not something he can ask now, and he can only see if he can ask other people in the future. Just as he was thinking, he heard his name being called, smiled slightly, straightened his clothes, and walked up to the stage calmly.

The brother in charge of the test smiled when he saw this. This child is really funny. He is only six years old, and he is still a little bean sprout, but he looks calm and composed. His lips are curled up and his eyes are raised. He is really cute.

"Is that Wang Shimo? Don't be nervous, just put your hand on this spirit stone, and it will be fine."

"Yes, Senior Brother." Which of your eyes saw me nervous! He slandered in his heart, but saluted respectfully on his face.

A flash of white light flashed, and the senior brother still said, "There are spiritual roots." He was arranged to wait in the group of Wang Cheng and the others.

Seeing him coming, Wang Cheng immediately stood beside him and said happily, "Great, you also have spiritual roots, and we can practice together in the future."

"Yes." Although Wang Shimo felt that Wang Cheng was a bit too lively, he also hoped to have a companion, and he didn't resist Wang Cheng's familiarity, so he agreed.

After the test, a total of [-] children with spiritual roots remained, and the others were taken away by their parents. These [-] children had to go through three checkpoints before they could truly become disciples of Tianchengzong, so their families only Can still wait at the foot of the mountain, if they lose the election, so that they can be brought home.

A hundred children were brought to the mountain gate. The brother who tested the spiritual roots just now stood up and said with a loud smile: "Everyone is very lucky. They have spiritual roots, so they can seek immortals and ask, but they thought that they could find them in this way." Longevity is wrong."

After finishing speaking, he quickly pinched his fingers, and after a while, the mountain gate opened wide, revealing the towering stairs inside, and he continued: "The one in front of you is the asking ladder, your future depends on how far you can go. Everyone, prepare Let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped aside, and some impatient children rushed out and stepped up the steps.However, as soon as his feet landed on the first step, the man's face changed drastically, his eyes were full of fear, he yelled for help, and ran up desperately, but in the eyes of the children outside, he only ran two steps before disappearing on the steps.

The rest of the children looked at each other, although they didn't know what happened to the child, but it must be related to Wendao Ladder, he hesitated for a while, not knowing what to do, the senior didn't rush, just leaned against the mountain gate, folded his hands on his chest, and smiled watch them.

Wang Cheng tugged at Wang Shimo's sleeve, and whispered, "What's going on?"

Although Wang Shimo used to be a young master from a third-class family, he still had some insight, and said immediately: "Yes, if it's just an ordinary staircase, it doesn't take ten days at all, just grind it slowly, and you can climb it in one day. has a problem."

"Then what should we do?" Wang Cheng looked anxious, he must join Tian Chengzong, so that his father would look at him and his brother differently, if he couldn't even enter the sect, he might not even have a foothold when he went back .

Wang Shimo smiled slightly, and asked if there was any problem with the ladder. Facing a group of five or six-year-old children, it is impossible to have a life-threatening trap. He speculated that it was just something to test the heart or perseverance, and he was confident that he could use it at his fingertips. , but, do you want to bring Wang Cheng?

Seeing him looking over, Wang Cheng's eyes lit up: "You have a solution? As long as you let me pass, there will be no difference in the future."

Wang Shimo raised his eyebrows, looked at Wang Cheng's sincere eyes, and turned his mind. After all, this is not a family. The mixed sect relies on strength. It is easy to be disadvantaged in some things alone, and it seems good to have an ally.

He nodded slightly: "Let's go, as long as you don't think about anything, just move forward."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Wang Cheng looked grateful, and followed Wang Shimo up the steps.

As soon as Wang Shimo climbed the steps, he saw ants all over the place. The first-order monsters, beast-eating ants, were no more than an inch long, but had sharp mouthparts. A single beast-eating ant could be trampled to death by an ordinary child, but it Once gathered in a group, even third-tier proboscis beasts can swallow them.

He was a little stunned, and looked back, but he didn't find Wang Cheng. Only then did he realize that there were densely packed beast-eating ants behind him.

As a former pulse condensing stage practitioner, he should have dealt with this calmly, but Wang Shimo has intensive phobia. They come out one by one, and he promises to kill them all, but they are overwhelming, even There is no gap, it occupies the entire space, and it is not still. Each of these animal-eating ants is crawling around, touching each other's antennae, and their mouthparts are constantly opening and closing. In Wang Shimo's eyes, it looks like a giant ants. The ancient ferocious beast opened its mouth wide, drooling like it was rushing towards him.

"Ah!" He made a more terrifying voice than the first child who stepped up the steps, and ran forward with a pale face.

The animal-eating ants under his feet seemed to have discovered the rations, sent a message with their antennae, and began to swarm towards him.

Wang Shimo tried his best to run forward, but the whole space except him was beast-eating ants. No matter where he ran, only more and more beast-eating ants rushed towards him.

what to do?Wang Shimo was so frightened that he had no ability to think at all, but the idea he thought he could get out as long as he ran forward was extinguished when he ran wildly for three days and was overwhelmed by beast-eating ants.

If these beast-eating ants are not dealt with, they will not be able to get out at all.

However, those beast-eating ants didn't give him time to breathe. They got in through the collar of his shirt and began to gnaw at his skin. The numbness and pain stimulated Wang Shimo's nerves. He realized that the inch-long, thin The insects at his waist were twisting and crawling on his body, and he was trembling all over, almost fainting.

Suddenly, he thought of Xu Rui's icy "coward!" and the icy blade of the sword when it pierced through the dantian in the previous vision.

"No, I'm not a coward!" Wang Shimo roared, jumped up, shook his body, shook off all the beast-eating ants, and stomped down on the big ants under his feet as if venting his anger.

"Go to hell, go to hell, I'm not afraid of you, I'll trample you to death..." There were crazy words in his mouth, which didn't delay his efficiency of trampling to death at all.

When he came back to his senses, where was there a beast-eating ant in front of him?He stood at one-third of the Wendao ladder, and below him was his senior brother with his arms folded, smiling at him and nodding slightly, above him were majestic peaks and steps with invisible tops.

He breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he could only come out if he overcomes his own weakness, otherwise he would have to be trapped inside and be eliminated when the time came.

I don't know what kind of trial other people are. I can't see a person in the front or back. I hope Wang Cheng can pass it.

He prepared some dry food and fruits on this step, presumably to replenish his strength, so he was not polite, and ate some of them, and took another step forward when his body recovered to its full strength.
