Chapter 98 The Road of Restriction
Life is always full of unknowns and choices. A different choice may bring about a completely different life.
But for Wu Chi, now, this choice may decide life or death.
When faced with a dilemma, it seems that the only way to survive is to move forward, especially for those who practice the way of swordsmanship.
However, just when Wu Chi was about to take this step, a strong sense of crisis suddenly appeared in his mind, which made him forcefully take back his feet that were already in the air.
Standing where he was, Wu Chi thought again.
Although he can't remember how many steps he took, the intense consumption of his original power reminds Wu Chi that he must have walked a long way. Even if his memory is blurred, Wu Chi still has great respect for himself. confidence.
Then, the problem arises.
If I had really walked a long way, why did it take so long to complete the road to the palace that seemed to be within a few steps?
Just relying on one's blood, once the brain is hot, put aside life and death, and go on regardless of success or failure, that is gambling and brainless.
And people without brains generally don't live long.
After calming down, Wu Chi quickly thought of many things clearly.
There is no doubt that this restriction is a test, and if you want to pass this test, you must first understand what the Emperor Donghua who created this restriction is trying to test.
Wu Chi is not good at thinking, but it doesn't mean that he can't think! On the contrary, Wu Chi is very smart, far beyond ordinary people. Otherwise, he would not have survived to this day.
In an instant, Wu Chi's mind suddenly recalled what Mo Yan said when he first met Mo Yan outside the Immortal Mansion.
"In the Immortal Mansion, how far one can go depends not only on strength, but also talent and luck. Those who can get here first are undoubtedly the most promising geniuses among all factions."
It was these words that seemed to have nothing to do with the present, but instantly made Wu Chi understand a lot.
In the channel of water, because I ventured out of the floating platform and realized the origin of water, I was able to have so much original power that supported me to the present.
If even I don't know whether I can finish this journey now, then I am afraid that it is absolutely impossible for anyone to finish this journey.
However, if Emperor Donghua left this immortal mansion inheritance, it would be impossible to give a completely hopeless test.
Then, in this way, the only explanation is that he has gone astray.
If you can't think clearly about this, then no matter whether you are going forward or back, you will surely die.
Slightly closing his eyes, Wu Chi immediately emptied his mind, and the source of water slowly escaped, feeling everything here again.
Once he closed his eyes, Wu Chi suddenly felt that the location of the palace entrance he perceived was completely different from what his eyes saw, and it could even be said to be the opposite.
At this moment, Wu Chi hesitated again in his heart.
If what the eyes see is not necessarily true, then what is sensed may not necessarily be true.
Now that I am very close to the entrance of the palace I saw, if I try my best, I still have a great chance to break in.
But if you deviate from this side and walk towards the entrance in your perception, once you guess wrong, you really have no chance to walk back.
The worst part is that he doesn't have much time to hesitate anymore, because even if he stands differently, he still has to bear the terrifying pressure. If he drags on, he might not have to make a choice, and he will be exhausted to death here first.
At this moment, Wu Chi naturally thought of the word luck.
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was instantly relieved.
Yes, life is full of coincidences! The theory of luck is very vague, but it does exist, and in many cases, it can even really play a decisive role.
You can't control your own luck, so at this moment, the only thing you can do is to trust your own judgment!
In an instant, Wu Chi raised his foot and stepped out.
But the direction was exactly the position in his perception. Even Wu Chi didn't even open his eyes, but the pace under his feet gradually accelerated without the slightest hesitation.
Just like before, Wu Chi still couldn't remember how many steps he took, and he couldn't even determine how far he was from the entrance of the palace.
However, from the beginning to the end, he never opened his eyes again, and the steps under his feet also never stopped for a moment.
The original power in the body was consumed violently, but until all the original power was exhausted, even when he took the final step to decide life and death, Wu Chi never hesitated.
"Click!"
The moment the original power was completely exhausted, there was a sound of space shattering in Wu Chi's ears. When he opened his eyes again, the terrifying pressure on his body had completely dissipated, and he was already standing in the palace. the door.
Raising his head, there was a stone tablet standing at the entrance of the palace, with a paragraph of words clearly engraved on it, pointing directly to the depths of the soul.
"The Great Dao is hard to find! The road to practice is rugged and hard to walk. Those without amazing talent, those without great wisdom and perseverance, and those without the heart to ask, will have no chance to enter my door."
Carefully chewing every word on the stone tablet, Wu Chi's heart was inexplicably touched. Wasn't the section of the road in the ban just now equal to a road of seeking Tao?
The avenue is ahead, I don't know how far I have traveled, I don't know how far I have to go, and I don't even know whether the road I choose is correct.
To embark on this path requires talent, wisdom, opportunity, and more importantly, a firm Dao heart!
If you don't have enough talent, you won't be able to realize the original power in the previous channel, and if you don't have enough original power, if you step into the road of prohibition rashly, you will surely die!
If you don't have enough wisdom, you won't be able to find the right path on the road of prohibition. Even if you have the best talent, you will naturally die.
In the end, when choosing a path, if you don't have a firm Dao heart and can't trust your own judgment, you will naturally still be unable to walk out.
The way of prohibition is like this, and the way of practice is even more so.
This is what is said on the stele, those without amazing talent, those without great wisdom and perseverance, those without the heart to ask questions, will have no chance to enter my door!
At this moment, Wu Chi was almost certain that this mysterious palace must be related to the inheritance of Emperor Donghua.
I gave up the prohibition token before the main hall, and the lost opportunity may be regained in this mysterious palace.
Wu Chi didn't know what the five people who got the tokens would encounter after entering the main hall, but for him, grasping what was in front of him was the most important thing.
And on this stele, the passage left by Emperor Donghua is not only an explanation of the previous road of prohibition, but also a warning to future generations.
Slightly bowed, and bowed deeply to the stele!
Raising his head, with a look of determination in his eyes, Wu Chi resolutely stepped into the palace.
….
Inside Donghua Hall, the lights are bright!
In the main hall, there are five puppets guarding the five passages leading to the apse respectively.
But Mo Yan and the others have been trapped here for three full days!
These five puppets are extremely special, almost all of them have immortal bodies, no matter whether they are added by swords or bombarded by Taoism, they can't damage them in the slightest. And possesses extremely powerful original power, no matter how many people stalk them, they cannot be defeated at all.
In three days, almost everyone has challenged more than ten times, but there is still no progress.
Different from what Wu Chi had guessed at the beginning, when the restriction was opened, not only those with tokens could enter, except for Wu Chi who left, the other six people rushed in together when the restriction was opened.
The only difference is that when the person holding the prohibition token fights with the puppets, these puppets are very measured, almost hitting the end. Although they can't win, they don't suffer any injuries.
But Luan Zhan, who failed to grab the token before, was out of luck. Every time he went to do it, the puppet was merciless! In the past three days, he has only challenged three times, and every time he will be beaten like a dead dog, full of scars. Fortunately, these puppets did not kill people, otherwise his life would have been lost long ago.
But even so, he himself understands that in this case, without a token, he is the least likely among the few.
Of course, it's not that he didn't think about killing Monk Xingdian and snatching the token, but when the puppet fought with Xingdian, it didn't hurt anyone at all, so how could he find a chance to sneak attack.
On the contrary, every time he was beaten with scars, Monk Xingdian could shoot him to death at any time.
"Mo Yan, I have an idea! The power of the five elements, mutual generation and mutual restraint, why should we stick to an opponent who understands the original power? If we choose a puppet with restraint attributes, maybe we can pass the test instead?"
Seeing that no one can do anything about these puppets now, Ye Kai said suddenly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts couldn't help but move slightly.
The forces of the five elements generate and restrain each other, this is the truth that everyone knows, if you use this to choose a puppet that restrains, your chances of winning will naturally be greatly improved.
"Senior Brother Ye is right, why not, who will try it first?"
Mo Yan nodded slightly and spoke.
"Since it's the method I proposed, I'll try it first." With a slight movement in his heart, Ye Kai immediately said, "Huo Kejin, since that's the case, Master Xingdian, why don't I try this golden puppet? "
It is certainly dangerous to be the first to try, but in the same way, if you succeed, you can be the first to pass the test and take the lead.
Ye Kai had calculated in his mind that the odds of winning were quite high, so he was willing to be the first to test.
"Why? Don't you just want to take the lead? Don't think I can't see it." Luan Zhan didn't have the slightest affection for Ye Kai, and immediately objected.
Frowning suddenly, Ye Kai threatened coldly, "Luan Zhan, Master Xingdian is kind-hearted and doesn't care about you! But don't take yourself too seriously! Since you said that I want to seize the opportunity, now I have already proposed the method, why don't you try it first?"
