If the Baiyujing Secret Realm is a battle of strength, then the Huangjinque Secret Realm is a battle of wits.

There are twelve True Lords corresponding to twelve positions, which can only be obtained by passing various temple divination tests, which include logical reasoning, psychology, game theory, etc. Although this world does not have so many professional terms, it does not prevent the ancients from setting corresponding levels.

Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu followed the maid, passing a large number of pavilions, flower corridors and waterside terraces, and finally arrived at a courtyard.

There were already four monks sitting in the yard.

One of them was Miao Dan Zhenren from Mount Shu, and I didn’t know the other three, but judging from their charming and seductive looks, they must be cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Among the six paths, the Heavenly Demon Path only recruits female disciples, and the Shura Path only recruits male disciples. The former are all charming beauties, and the latter are all bald men. Basically, they can be easily identified from their appearance.

In addition to the four monks, there was also a beautiful woman in palace dress, who must be one of the twelve True Lords.

"I am sorry for not entertaining you, my distinguished guest." The beautiful woman in palace dress said with a smile, "I am Zhao Ling Zhenjun, one of the Zhenjuns stationed in the Golden Palace Secret Realm."

"If you want to get the position of Que Lord, please sit here for a while."

Seeing that the other party had no hostility, An Zhisu and Ling Yunpo found a place to sit down together.

"This way, we have six people now." True Lord Zhao Ling continued with a smile, "According to the rules of the Golden Palace Secret Realm, everyone needs to pass the test designed by me, and the winner will get the position of Palace Master."

"My test is also very simple: there is a non-human demon who sneaks into you and breaks into this secret realm when it is opened."

"As long as you find it before noon tomorrow and report to me, you will have passed the test."

Everyone looked at each other.

Inhuman demon, what is that?

Considering that this Golden Palace Secret Realm is high above the sky, it is most likely a demon from outside the domain.

Just as True Lord Zhao Ling was about to leave, a Heavenly Demon Daoist monk asked:

"May I ask, Master Zhenjun, what are the characteristics of that inhuman demon? Can you give me a hint?"

"That inhuman demon was discovered as soon as it entered the secret realm." True Lord Zhao Ling said with a smile, "We worked together to repel it. It should be hiding somewhere now."

"But the devil is always cunning and changeable. I don't know how it will hide and disguise itself. In the end, it all depends on your ability to respond on the spot."

"By the way, this is to test your intelligence. You are not allowed to use force to harm each other...except for the inhuman demons."

After saying this, True Lord Zhaoling left slowly.

Everyone looked at each other for a moment, and then another Heavenly Demon Daoist smiled charmingly and said:

"Since we can't fight each other, it's better for you and I to compete in peace."

Although he said "you and me", his eyes were clearly looking at An Zhisu and Ling Yunpo. It was obvious that these two cultivators who had made it to the top twelve in the Baiyujing competition were also notorious in the Tianmo Dao and were extremely feared.

An Zhisu didn't say anything. She didn't like the demon monks in the first place, and not drawing her sword against them at this moment was already the extreme.

Ling Yunpo nodded, said nothing, and left with Senior Sister An.

Miao Dan Zhenren was ignored from beginning to end and was almost mad with anger. However, fighting was not allowed here, and her swordsmanship, which she was proud of, could not be used, so she could only leave with a gloomy face.

Ling Yunpo followed An Zhisu around and thought silently in his heart.

Earlier on Qiu Changtian's timeline, after coming to the palace of Lord Liandu and learning the content of the test, A Jing gave him two hints, saying that they were given to her by the future Wei Dongliu through the future A Jing.

One is to ask Ajing to pretend to be Miaodan Zhenren of Shushan, so as to gather six people to participate in the test of Liandu Zhenjun.

Since no one knows Ajing's true identity, it is impossible for anyone to guess it.

Therefore, after Qiu Changtian becomes the chosen one, he will be transferred to A Jing, so that he will be invincible.

The second is that the Demon Bone Master was clever enough to pretend to transfer the chosen one to himself, but in fact he kept the identity with the other person.

After getting a hint from his future self, Qiu Changtian confirmed the identity of the person chosen from Junior Sister Xu. Naturally, he ignored the tricks of Demon Bone Master and directly filled in the correct answer.

So the question is: since I was able to reveal the answer to the question in the last exam, why didn’t my future self explain the answer to the inhuman demon at the same time as my present self this time?

How strange!

Perhaps it’s because the answer is so simple that it can be obtained easily without any effort.

Well, maybe while walking, I can directly encounter that inhuman demon!

Thinking of this, Ling Yunpo simply gave up thinking and followed An Zhisu around, searching for the trace of the inhuman demon.

Soon, a night passed.

Ling Yunpo almost vomited blood: Where is that inhuman demon?

If we keep trying our luck aimlessly like this, the deadline of noon will soon be approaching!

Ajing, scan it for me!

"Do you really want to scan?" Kunlun Mirror asked for confirmation.

"What do you mean by 'really need to scan'?" Ling Yunpo said unhappily, "If we don't scan, how can we find the other party's trace?"

"Well then." Kunlun Mirror laughed, "Walk around a bit so I can scan a wider area."

Ling Yunpo called Senior Sister An and said:

"Senior Sister, if we continue to search like this, wouldn't it be like looking for a needle in a haystack?"

"Junior brother, do you have an idea?" An Zhisu was already annoyed and anxious, and his eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.

This junior fellow apprentice of mine is indeed much smarter than me.

The idea of ​​"following birds to find islands" was come up in the South China Sea in the past, and who knows, maybe there will be some clever ideas this time.

"I don't have any good ideas." Ling Yunpo said modestly, "I just think that if the inhuman demon is really a celestial demon, could it have already hidden in someone's body and turned into a demon in the heart?"

"It's very likely!" An Zhisu said without hesitation, and then pondered, "Then we shouldn't be looking for the devil, but for the person, right?"

"But if it is really the inner demon that has infiltrated the cultivator's body, we don't have any good means of detecting it."

In fact, the entire world of cultivation has no good means of detecting inner demons, especially those lurking deep in a cultivator's heart without revealing themselves - otherwise, how could a clear heart be such a rare and unique gift?

"That's true." Ling Yunpo said with a smile, "However, Senior Sister, have you noticed that Master Zhaoling did not set any punishment for us for 'finding the wrong person'?"

"That is to say, if we find a person and suspect him of having a demon inside him, and use this as the answer to report him to True Lord Zhao Ling, then if he gets the answer right, he will pass. But if he gets the answer wrong, there will be no punishment, right? Instead, it is equivalent to eliminating the wrong answers."

"So that's how it is!" An Zhisu opened his eyes wide, revealing an admiring expression of "Junior brother, you are so awesome."
