Reincarnated in the world of cultivation, the male protagonist and I became brothers

"I'll help you get up." Rong Nian helped Qi Zhiyuan stand up. Qi Zhiyuan cried twice and finally stood firm.

"Are you okay?" Qi Zhiyuan asked. Rong Nian didn't expect that Qi Zhiyuan would still care about him at this time.

"I'm fine, it's just your hand..." Rong Nian said. Qi Zhiyuan looked at his arm. It was indeed wrapped in cloth. Rong Nian should have helped bandage it.

"I was accidentally injured by that thing." Qi Zhiyuan held his arm.

"That's right, that thing is very poisonous. Fortunately, it doesn't have much poison." Rong Nian was also frightened.

"Poisoned?" Qi Zhiyuan did feel a little dizzy. It turned out to be poisoning.

"Let's go first, this bloody smell will attract other monsters." Rong Nian suggested, supporting Qi Zhiyuan and walking forward.

"Wow, such a big rotunda." Rongnian looked at the rotunda. The faint light allowed him to see clearly that there were nine ways to go in front of him.

"This place shouldn't be like this originally." Qi Zhiyuan knelt down and looked at the moss on the ground.

"How come there is so much moss...but no water source..."

The masters who live in the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley all have their own special habitats, but these moss...

"You can't think with normal thinking." Qi Zhiyuan stood up and looked at the nine channels in front of him.

"I'm afraid these nine passages are also a puzzle."

"Puzzle?" Rong Nian looked at the dark passage. What kind of puzzle could this be? Isn't it choosing a path?

"The checkpoints set up by Dihuazhou will probably not kill you." Qi Zhiyuan seemed to have gotten some answers from his previous experiences.

"And there are rules to follow." Qi Zhiyuan said and began to pace in the rotunda.

"Rule? What kind of pattern?" Rong Nian didn't understand this and followed Qi Zhiyuan to see what he was going to do.

"Look." Qi Zhiyuan pointed at these passages, and Rong Nian looked along his hand.

Looking at them one by one, Rong Nian seemed to understand what he was talking about.

"You mean moss?" Rong Nian saw that some passages had moss at the door, while others did not.

"Yes, these moss need a moist place to grow."

"But, is it too risky for you to say this?" Although Rong Nian saw it, he did not rule out that these moss grew randomly and there was no rule.

Qi Zhiyuan shook his head, he seemed very confident.

"This is a trial. Maybe what we see is false." Qi Zhiyuan expressed his thoughts.

"You are lying, and so am I." Qi Zhiyuan pointed at Rong Nian and then at himself.

"But, I can touch you." Rong Nian slapped Qi Zhiyuan on the shoulder, which made Qi Zhiyuan laugh.

"Yes, we can touch each other, but this is not a false illusion. Maybe we are not involved in the vortex at all, or maybe... we are not out of the vortex at all."

Qi Zhiyuan's bold guess shocked Rong Nian.

"6, are we still alive?" Rong Nian asked.

"You can still see me, so you must be alive." After getting the answer, Rong Nian finally felt relieved. He was really going to faint. What if they were souls... Just like... that time...

"I understand...I understand everything." Rong Nian shook Qi Zhiyuan.

"What do you understand?" Qi Zhiyuan was a little confused.

"Our souls are trapped here, right?" Rong Nian felt more and more right as he spoke.

"Then how do you explain the corpse we saw?" Qi Zhiyuan asked back, completely overturning Rong Nian's suspicions.

"Okay, okay, I have said so much, just to tell you that the door without moss is a false door." Seeing his frustrated look, Qi Zhiyuan hurriedly comforted him.

"Then you should have said it earlier, there are so many twists and turns." Rong Nian was speechless. Qi Zhiyuan's convoluted words made him think too much.

"Aren't you asking about the rules?"

"Blame me, blame me for talking too much."

"Okay, please tell me which is the correct passage?" Rong Nian asked Qi Zhiyuan, dragging him along.

Qi Zhiyuan looked at the nine passages in front of him and began to think about the location of the island.

The tower is located on the top of the mountain, and every full moon, the moon will converge with the top of the tower, and the exit will definitely be closer to the top of the tower.

"Do you know the habits of moss?" Although Qi Zhiyuan saw the pattern of the passage, he did not understand the habits of these plants, and Rong Nian, who treated him, must have understood it well.

As he expected, Rong Nian did know.

This was what his senior brother told him. I remember that year, his senior brother took him and got lost in the dense forest.

"Senior brother, do you really know the way?" Rong Nian gasped, carrying a medicine basket on his back, which contained herbs of various shapes.

"This is my first time here too." He tapped his blind stick on the ground and said calmly.

Rong Nian's reason told him that he shouldn't trust the path pointed out by a blind man, but who could he follow if he didn't follow his senior brother? He sighed deeply.

The senior brother suddenly squatted down and touched the nearby tree trunk, as if he was looking for something.

"Senior brother, what are you looking for?" Rong Nian thought he had lost something, so he quickly put down the medicine basket to help find it.

"Moss." He grabbed a handful of moss with some soil in his hand. After touching it, he put it back. Senior brother treats plants much more gently than he treats people.

"Moss? Can it be used as medicine?" Rong Nian thought he was looking for medicinal materials.

"Idiot, the moss faces north, let's go in that direction." The senior brother wiped his hands with a handkerchief and stood up unhurriedly.

"What if moss grows in a place without sunlight?" Rong Nian asked curiously.

"If it grows on the shady side of the foothills, the location of the moss does not matter whether it is north or south, but whichever side is more humid, colder, and less windy will have more moss." Rong Nian repeated his senior brother's answer.

Qi Zhiyuan got the answer and began to search in the passage. Rong Nian seemed to understand the rules here. "

"it's here."

"it's here!"

The two said in unison, then looked at each other and smiled.

“If it’s windy, it won’t grow as well.”

"Yes, that means this is the exit." Qi Zhiyuan and Rong Nian thought together and walked out towards the selected passage.

The god of luck favored them. They arrived at the exit, but they didn't expect that the exit would go straight to the bottom of the tower.

Rong Nian looked at the long steps and thought of the steps in Buddhism. They seemed to be so long with no end in sight.

"It seems it's still early to get to the tower." Qi Zhiyuan looked at the steps, wondering what kind of test there was on the top.

He raised his foot and stepped on it, but suddenly his mind wandered, as if he saw something.

"Mother..." Qi Zhiyuan muttered.

Seeing that he was staring ahead for a long time and unable to regain his consciousness, Rong Nian quickly pulled him down.

Qi Zhiyuan pulled away suddenly and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"How are you? Why were you suddenly stunned?" Rong Nian asked.

Qi Zhiyuan wiped the blood from his lips and waved his hand.

"I'm fine." Qi Zhiyuan gathered his thoughts, calmed down, and then recovered.

"What do you see?"

Qi Zhiyuan's expression changed again and again, and he lowered his head.

Seeing that he didn't want to answer, Rong Nian stopped asking and could only step forward to take a look.

"Don't go." Qi Zhiyuan held him back.

"I'm afraid this level is fear," he said with a sigh.

"Fear? Do you mean inner fear?"

Qi Zhiyuan nodded stiffly and retracted his hand, as if he was considering whether to step on this step.

"But there is only this way." Rong Nian was a little embarrassed. There was only this way to the tower. It seemed that they had calculated it.

"That's right." Qi Zhiyuan closed his eyes in pain.

"You should rest for a while. I'll come up and take a look first."

"Okay." Qi Zhiyuan understood that if he wanted to go to Dihuazhou, he would have to face a test.

Rong Nian gritted his teeth and stepped onto the first step.

In the air before his eyes, a figure appeared in front of him.

His face was ugly, the hatred in his eyes could not be concealed, and he held a sword in his hand that he was very familiar with.
