I heard that I became the villain Bai Yueguang after I died

The flow of time in the secret realm is different from that in the outside world. One day is just a moment in the outside world.

The sky here is always bright, and Sang Nian didn't know how long he had been climbing. The cliff stretched out to the horizon, as if it would never end.

Shen Mingchao followed behind her. At first, he could argue with her, but later, his eyes were wide open and he could only gasp for breath.

But looking at Sang Nian's calm expression, he gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.

Outside the light curtain, the elders were in an uproar:

"They actually managed to climb up. These two are so tenacious!"

"In my opinion, this little girl named Sang Nian is better." The second elder said, "If it weren't for her, I'm afraid Shen Mingchao would have given up long ago."

He said happily: "My vision is indeed good, I will definitely accept this disciple."

"Taking a disciple is a matter of mutual consent. You can't just be enthusiastic about it." The Seventh Elder said lightly, "What if she likes my Cangjian Peak?"

The second elder raised his eyebrows: "Are you trying to snatch it from me?"

The Seventh Elder smiled and said, "What do you mean by robbing? It's just giving her one more choice."

The Second Elder was about to explode, but the Fifth Elder motioned for everyone to be quiet and whispered:

"But don't you think that there is a bit of Jingxian in her eyes and eyebrows? And she has the Sanxue Sword in her hand. Could it be that -"

Everyone looked at each other, with different expressions.

There was some movement from below the cliff.

Xie Chenzhou slowly opened his eyes and his gaze fell on the edge of the cliff.

There, a scarred hand was groping around, looking for a flat support point.

He stood up and walked away.

"Who?" Sang Nian looked up in the shadow, squinted his eyes, and asked tentatively:

"Xie Chenzhou?"

Xie Chenzhou stood against the light, his expression could not be seen clearly:

"Ah."

Sang Nian was surprised, "You have been waiting for me here?"

Xie Chenzhou said nothing, looking down at her.

The girl's face was flushed, her forehead and nose were covered in sweat, and a few strands of messy hair stuck to her cheeks, making her look embarrassed and pitiful.

But those eyes, with distinct black and white, were surprisingly bright.

What was inside was something he had never seen before...

vitality.

It looks like the grass in early spring, the trees in midsummer, or the green apricots on the branches, it is incredibly fresh.

Xie Chenzhou was slightly distracted.

"No, big brother, you really have no sense." Sang Nian complained, "If you don't want to help me, at least don't block the way."

Xie Chenzhou shifted his gaze to her hands.

Just now I could only see there were wounds from a distance, but now that I'm closer I realize that there is a thick layer of blood on the girl's fingertips, and mud in the gaps between her nails. Her knuckles are very stiff from grasping for a long time.

He looked at it for a moment, then bent down and took the hand.

Sang Nian used the force to climb up the last rock and staggered forward a few steps.

When she was about to fall into his arms, she quickly dodged to the right and fell heavily to the ground.

Just as Xie Chenzhou was about to go over, another hand stretched out from the bottom of the cliff, shaking like a sieve.

"Kindhearted people, please give me a hand too."

Shen Mingchao said weakly:

"I have no energy left."

Xie Chenzhou snorted lightly and ignored him.

Shen Mingchao sniffed, his eyes red: "Please, brother."

Xie Chenzhou's face was full of disgust. He grabbed his hair and pulled him up. "If you dare to call me like that again, I will kill you."

Shen Mingchao cried out in pain, covering his head and falling on him.

Xie Chenzhou kicked him away and said, "Get lost."

Shen Mingchao spun twice on the spot and slowly fell beside Sang Nian. His movements were sad and melancholy, like a butterfly with broken wings.

A tear fell from the corner of his eye:

"I have never suffered such injustice since I was a child."

Sang Nian silently moved to the side, "Then you are suffering now."

Xie Chenzhou walked up to her and said, "Three days."

Sang Nian: "What?"

Xie Chenzhou: "It took you three days to climb up."

After listening to this, Sang Nian solemnly raised his thumb:

“I’m awesome.”

Xie Chenzhou: “…”

"You've been waiting for me here for three days?" she asked.

"Who said I was waiting for you?" Xie Chenzhou said, "I'm just here to enjoy the scenery."

"Okay, okay, you've been standing here admiring the scenery of the cliff for three days, right?" Sang Nian stood up and brushed off the dust on his clothes. "But how did you know I would climb up?"

Xie Chenzhou took out the paper crane she gave him, and a faint light connected the two of them.

"I almost forgot, it can tell you my location." Sang Nian sighed, "You are so patient, I thought you would just leave like the others."

Xie Chenzhou said with a straight face: "I just came here to enjoy the scenery."

If the sky falls, this guy's mouth will hold it up.

Sang Nian resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said, "Let's go, let's go to the next level."

The forgotten Shen Mingchao wanted to get up and catch up with them, but in the end he could only turn over weakly and said anxiously:

"Sang Nian! I order you to wait for me!"

Hearing his voice, Xie Chenzhou paused slightly.

Sang Niantian waved to Shen Mingchao without even thinking:

"Remember, you owe me sixteen bottles of Ju Yuan Dan and twenty bottles of Lingquan Water. You must pay them back, including the principal and interest."

Their figures gradually disappeared from sight. Shen Mingchao lay back angrily and pounded the ground:

"I didn't say I wouldn't pay it back. Wait a minute, what's wrong with me? You stingy guy!"

Sang Nian is such a stingy person!!!

The entrance to the third level is at the top of the mountain.

Passing through a vortex-shaped door, the scene in front of you changes instantly.

The mountain with white clouds and lush vegetation disappeared, replaced by a long corridor.

Sang Nian: "Just keep moving forward."

Xie Chenzhou nodded.

The two entered the corridor side by side.

It was very quiet around them and they could hear each other's breathing clearly.

Suddenly, Xie Chenzhou asked casually:

"He called you Sang Nian."

Sang Nian: "Ah?"

Xie Chenzhou: "The person who climbed up with you."

She was at a loss: "Are you talking about Shen Mingchao?"

Xie Chenzhou: "You have already known each other's names."

Sang Nian nodded: "Yeah, that's right."

Xie Chenzhou: "You asked him to call you Sang Nian?"

Sang Nian said, "Yes."

He laughed suddenly and spoke slowly:

"You two have such a good relationship."

Sang Nian waved his hands: "I am almost fed up with him, he keeps talking like crazy, asking questions all the way, as if he is someone important to me."

Xie Chenzhou was silent for a moment, then suddenly quickened his pace, leaving Sang Nian behind in the blink of an eye.

[Ding~Thank you Chen Zhou for your favorability -1]

What the hell is minus one?

Sang Nian was confused and ran after him:

"Don't walk too fast. I can't keep up."

Xie Chenzhou is even faster.

Sang Nian was anxious: "What if we get separated?"

Xie Chenzhou didn't know what was wrong with him. He just felt that everything was wrong and everything was an eyesore.

He sneered: "If it's over, it's over."

Sang Nian was puzzled:

"Are you angry? Why?"

Xie Chenzhou: “I didn’t.”

Sang Nian: “You have.”

Xie Chenzhou: “I didn’t.”

Sang Nian also got angry: "You have!"

"Well, can you two stop arguing for a moment?"

A voice came faintly.

Sang Nian turned around and saw a man wearing the uniform of the Xiaoyao Sect.

Only then did she realize that she and Xie Chenzhou had walked out of the passage at some point and came to a wide river.

The river was turbulent, and an ancient bluestone bridge was built across the water.

The Xiaoyao Sect disciple said, "This is the last stage of the selection. The rules are very simple. You just need to walk across this bridge."

"Let's argue later." Sang Nian said to Xie Chenzhou, "Cross the river first."

Xie Chenzhou walked onto the bridge without saying a word.

He took just one step and his face changed slightly, and he stood still.

Sang Nian walked briskly, "Let's go, what are you standing there for?"

Xie Chenzhou calmly swallowed the sweet taste in his throat and took another step forward.

His face suddenly turned pale, but his expression never changed at all, and he followed Sang Nian steadily.

Cross the bridge smoothly all the way.

The second elder who was waiting impatiently on the other side came forward and looked at Sang Nian with an especially kind expression:

"You have passed all the tests and officially become disciples of Xiaoyao Sect."

Sang Nian was very surprised: "So simple?"

"Simple?" The second elder laughed, "Do you know what this bridge is called?"

It’s not written in the book, Sang Nian shook his head honestly.

"This bridge is the famous Little Naihe Bridge. It was built with stones from the Wangchuan River that the first leader of Xiaoyao Sect brought back after he broke into the underworld. It can distinguish between good and evil and can read people's hearts."

The second elder said leisurely:

"If the person who goes up the bridge is entangled in the sins of killing, he will have committed the seven sins of greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love, evil, and desire—"

"Every step you take is like breaking bones and tendons, like being tortured three thousand times."

"No one can bear such pain."
