Chapter 8: Break the illusion, two slaps
666 flapped its wings and said, "But I don't know how to break the illusion."
Bai Xiaoxiao: "Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"
666 felt innocent. "I really can't break it. And even if I could break the illusion, I wouldn't be able to use it in the world of immortal cultivation. You don't want to be mistaken for some strange creature and be captured for research, do you?"
Bai Xiaoxiao's right eyelid twitched: "It can break the illusion, but it can't be used in the world of immortal cultivation. Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"
What if there is one more peanut?
666 coughed and said, "Anyway, I just don't want the host to reveal his identity."
Bai Xiaoxiao: "Then what's the point of me keeping you here...?"
666 puffed out his chest proudly: "I can always remind the host to complete the mission well!"
Bai Xiaoxiao's expression faded. She extended her index finger and casually said, "You, pigeon kiss."
666: "Go away, alright!"
"Pah—" The system disappeared.
Bai Xiaoxiao felt a headache. The RMB in the illusion was indeed attractive, but only the money in hand could make her feel at ease!
The illusions in the books were usually destroyed through human pain. The sect's entrance examination shouldn't be too difficult, so she could give it a try.
Bai Xiaoxiao stretched her sleeves twice and suddenly knocked the steps under her feet. The sound was so loud that her ears were buzzing. She raised her eyes to look at the sky and found that Chairman Mao not only did not disappear, but was spinning faster and faster.
ah……?
The Xuan Guang Mirror projects Bai Xiaoxiao's actions to everyone.
The elders in the hall were silent for a while.
"To be honest, there are very few disciples this year who can break through the illusion and escape from desire." The woman in purple gauze suddenly spoke.
"Indeed." Immortal Kong Wu agreed, "Although... beginners have different methods for breaking through the illusion."
The Wine Immortal stroked his beard and sighed, "This child has a sincere heart."
And at this moment.
Bai Xiaoxiao, with a sincere heart, rubbed her forehead and looked at the direction where the RMB disappeared. She felt a chill on her left chest, but it was useless to regret it. Bai Xiaoxiao stood up and continued to walk up the stairs. When she thought of the eight million waiting for her in front, her feet were filled with strength.
Along the way, they also met many trainee disciples who were climbing the Heavenly Steps together. They all had empty eyes, grinned and laughed foolishly from time to time, and some even ran back and forth with their hands stretched out as if to grab something.
The Dust-Cleansing Ladder spans the sky, and both ends of the stairs are empty, with only white clouds floating in the air.
But those trapped in the illusion do not realize how dangerous their situation is. In pursuit of illusory things, they even jump off the steps to heaven without hesitation.
Bai Xiaoxiao was startled and subconsciously reached out to pull them, her fingertips and clothes fluttering in the air. She heard a scream in her ears, but then she was lifted up by the snow-white crane and taken away from the Heavenly Steps.
She breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking quickly upwards.
Finally, she saw Que Tianwen.
At this moment, Que Tianwen was kneeling on one knee on the stairs, his whole face showing a distorted expression as if he wanted to cry but didn't, wanted to laugh but didn't, wanted to break free but had to sink into it, big beads of sweat kept sliding down his face.
Bai Xiaoxiao poked his face, and Que Tianwen clenched his teeth even tighter.
Bai Xiaoxiao didn't think that he could break through the illusion in this state. Thinking of the experience she had just summarized, she felt that she had the right and obligation to help her "colleagues" overcome difficulties. She stretched her shoulders and rubbed her right hand, gathering her strength, and slapped Que Tianwen in the face with a "pa--".
Que Tianwen's face turned to the left, but his eyes were still empty and lifeless.
Ouch~
Not awake, right?
Bai Xiaoxiao rolled up her wide sleeves, tied a knot around her arms, and opened her hands to the left and right.
'Pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah!'
The elders in the hall fell silent again.
"Ha ha--"
Tired, she was really tired.
Bai Xiaoxiao shook her sore arms, feeling just like she was carrying two bags of rice and walking up the fifteenth floor, but the joy she felt was beyond words.
She took a deep breath and prepared to continue, but the person who was knocked to the ground slowly woke up. Que Tianwen's empty eyes gradually focused, and he was the first to feel the burning pain on his cheek. He couldn't help but touch it with his fingertips and then took a breath.
He looked up suddenly.
"Brother Que, Brother Que..."
Bai Xiaoxiao raised her hand but was caught before she could put it down: "You, you're awake? Ahahahaha..."
Que Tianwen frowned even tighter: "What are you going to do!"
Because his face was red and swollen, his voice sounded muffled.
Bai Xiaoxiao coughed violently to control the corners of her mouth from flying. "You're trapped in an illusion. No matter how I call you, you won't wake up. In order to wake you up earlier, I have to use a special method."
"Special method?" Que Tianwen repeated in a low voice, then realized something. Sparks flashed in his eyes. "Bai Xiaoxiao! You...!"
Bai Xiaoxiao quickly waved her hands: "No, no, no, I'm not seeking revenge, bah! I mean, I really had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. After all, if we delay too long, we will most likely be eliminated from the assessment."
"And believe me, you're still as handsome and cool as ever, simply..."
"snort!"
Before Bai Xiaoxiao could finish her words, Que Tianwen interrupted her and stood up. He swung his wide robe sleeves in an arc with great force. It was not known whether it was intentional or not, but the wide robe sleeves he swung hit Bai Xiaoxiao's face directly.
"call--"
Bai Xiaoxiao touched her face that was slapped by her robe sleeve, and felt that those slaps were not unfair.
…
The top of the Heavenly Stairs is also connected to a wide square.
Four columns carved with nine-tailed phoenixes stand at the east, south, west and north ends of the square, and in front of them is a high platform with forty-nine steps.
Bai Xiaoxiao and Que Tianwen were the first to arrive at the center of the square. After waiting for about half a pack of cigarettes, several more trainee disciples came up one after another.
"Bang!"
The dull sound of the ancient bell came from the distant horizon into everyone's heart.
The assessment is over in a cup of tea.
"Dear disciples."
The white-bearded old man who had explained the rules to them suddenly appeared on a platform with forty-nine steps. With a wave of his robe sleeve, the white jade Dust-Cleansing Stairs vanished without a trace. He looked down at the approximately thirty trainee disciples and continued, "First of all, congratulations on successfully passing the entrance examination. You will have the opportunity to become official disciples of the Wuliang Sect. Now, from left to right, each of you will ascend these forty-nine steps to test your fate as immortals."
Bai Xiaoxiao and Que Tianwen were originally the first to arrive and take the first test, but were dragged to the back of the crowd by Que Tianwen.
Bai Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "Brother Que, aren't we going to take the test?"
Que Tianwen gave her a look that said, "Are you stupid?" "Haven't you heard the saying, 'Know yourself and your enemy, and you'll win every battle'? Let's get them to take a spiritual root test first. That way, we'll know the true strength of the disciples competing with us for the spots. Maybe that'll be useful in the future."
Bai Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched: "Is that so?"
[But the problem is that the spiritual root level will not change. What difference does it make whether you know it first or later? ]
