Chapter 82 The Trial of Courage

It was Jiao Xiuyuan's body.

Now in the past three months, something unusual has gradually emerged.

Unlike normal flesh and blood, it looks like dead wood, showing a withered yellow color.

Li Fan kicked with his foot, the sound was exactly like kicking on wood.

At this moment, a voice came from behind Li Fan.

"It's just a puppet, not the real body. It's Jiao Xiuyuan's usual method, don't be surprised fellow daoists."

Li Fan turned his head, only to see that the person who was speaking was also a Qi-refinement stage monk.

Immediately cupped his hands: "Thank you for your guidance, fellow daoist. Are you also a member of the League of Ten Thousand Immortals?"

The man nodded: "That's right, I, Chen An, have joined the Ten Thousand Immortals League for more than thirty years."

"I'm Li Fan. Listening to the meaning in the words of fellow Taoists, it seems that you are quite familiar with Jiao Xiuyuan?"

Chen An smiled: "It's not familiar. But, after living on the island for so long, I still know some things that should be known."

"Take this Jiao Xiuyuan as an example. He opened a grocery store called Qianlitang on the island. It sells everything. It is said that there is an official channel of the Ten Thousand Immortals League behind it, and occasionally he can sell some good things."

"Besides that, I often do some intelligence business. It's just that this kid never puts himself in danger, and always uses puppets to open the way."

Li Fan nodded slowly after hearing the words: "Are you afraid of death if you are greedy for money, that's why."

Chen An laughed loudly: "Fellow Daoist summed it up very well! Greed for money and fear of death are the most appropriate words to describe Jiao Xiuyuan!"

After laughing, Chen An suddenly said: "When copying the exercises in the book pavilion before, I saw that others copied for a while, and took a rest when they were tired. Then copy after recuperating. Only fellow Taoists, It lasts for three months. I admire it very much!"

"But I don't know, what is the meaning of this move by fellow daoists? If you only talk about the speed of copying, fellow daoists will definitely not be able to compare with those who often rest because of physical and mental fatigue."

"I don't know if you can help me out?" Chen An asked with a bow.

Li Fan pondered for a moment, before he opened his mouth: "I don't dare to say the deep meaning, it's just my intuition."

"Then Qin Tang said that the first test is specialization."

"Experts have no distractions. Only when they are not disturbed by any external objects can they be regarded as the most specialized. Is physical and mental fatigue also an external object that interferes? If it stops because of it, will you no longer be "specialized"?"

"It's just a humble opinion, just listen to it, Fellow Daoist."

Li Fan said modestly.

Hearing this, Chen An was thoughtful.

Li Fan also stopped talking and went back to the house to rest.

On the second day, Qin Tang did not appear again.

Everyone didn't dare to run around, but just waited patiently in the building.

Early in the morning of the third day, Qin Tang staggered and appeared in front of the crowd while drinking.

"Good wine, good wine!"

After belching, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the monks.

"Today, start the second test!"

"This time, I will test your courage!"

"The fairyland is long, and there are countless hardships and hardships. Do you have the courage to face them one by one?"

Qin Tang smiled slightly.

Everyone felt a blur in front of their eyes, and they left the attic in an instant and appeared by the sea.

And his mana realm was blocked, and he became no different from ordinary people.

Qin Tang was nowhere to be seen.

Only his voice came from afar.

"I am waiting for you on the other side of the sea. Use your courage to cross this sea!"

When everyone heard the words, they looked at each other in dismay.

Those who are daring go to the beach and step out.

The sea water suddenly condensed into ice, and the man was caught firmly.

The man was overjoyed, and kept walking forward, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

The rest of the people saw that they were being preempted, and walked into the sea impatiently.

Li Fan caught a glimpse of Bailichen, and followed into the sea.

It's just that Sikong Yi still stayed by the seaside and didn't move for a long time.

Li Fan didn't pay attention anymore, he just restrained his mind and stepped slowly on the sea.

The water under his feet turned to ice, but there was no sign of the rest of the people in his field of vision.

On the vast sea, only myself was left alone in an instant.

Li Fan looked as usual, and walked forward step by step.

The sun rises and the moon sets overhead, and I don't know how long it has passed.

The scenery Li Fan saw remained unchanged.

This sea seems to have no end.

Even though Li Fan already knew the answer in advance, he still couldn't help but feel powerless and hesitant.

At this time, Li Fan could feel the thickness of the ice under his feet gradually decreasing.

Taking a deep breath, Li Fan expelled the doubts and fears in his heart.

Continue to walk forward resolutely.

The ice under my feet became thick again.

This second level tests "courage".

It is not only a test of the courage to face external objects, but also a test of the courage to face one's own heart.

On the vast sea, I walked for a long time, but I didn't see the opposite coast.

Do you have doubts in your heart, have you lost your way?
Do you feel anxious again, is there an end to this sea?
Will you feel panic again and lose the courage to move forward?

Or give up on yourself and stop moving forward?

Li Fan walked step by step, also tortured his heart.

Even if he has been reincarnated for hundreds of years, he has never been like this.

Temporarily put aside all external things, just thinking while walking.

Crossing the sea through the ice is just like the journey of immortality.

The road ahead is slim, with no end in sight.

Halfway through the journey, looking around, I couldn't be sure if I had lost my way.

From the beginning to the end, I was just alone, and there was nothing to rely on.

The passage of time seems to go on like this forever.

endlessly.

……

Even so, can you strengthen your faith and never lose the courage to move forward?

Even if you know, this test will eventually stop.

But Li Fan was also shaken in his heart.

Because, this journey across the sea is really too long.

One year, two years...

Decades have passed.

Li Fan's hair became gray, his body became rickety, and he never stopped moving forward.

Until his body was too old to walk anymore.

Then he fell powerlessly on the sea.

His vision became blurred, and Li Fan seemed to see it before his consciousness disappeared.

On the coast not far ahead, Qin Tang was dressed in white and stood there alone.

Holding up the wine gourd to Li Fan, Qin Tang took a sip with a smile.

……

Opening his eyes, Li Fan found that he and a group of monks were still in that building.

It's just that it has been a long time since the memory, and many people looked at a loss.

After a long time, they regained their clarity.

"Stepping on the river of nine secluded rivers, crossing the shipwreck in the heart."

"This second test, the trial of bravery, is over."

"In the morning of the day after tomorrow, we will conduct the last test."

After finishing speaking, Qin Tang took his wine gourd, which never left his body, and left shaking his head.
