The road is right under your feet

Chapter 314 Questioning the Heart

"This is the communicator. Your voiceprints have been recorded. What the others said is invalid. Want to try it?"

Zhuo Pingjian blinked and said, "Call the young master."

The almost transparent light screen suddenly jumped, and a few large words appeared in the middle.

[Calling...]

At the same time, a panel popped up on Bai Xing's left wrist. Bai Xing raised his hand and Qi Qi automatically connected.

Each of them reflected the other's face on the light screen, and even the slightest expression was not delayed.

Zhuo Pingjian smiled in surprise, and his voice was transmitted to Bai Xing through the communicator. Zhuo Pingjian's voice was almost synchronized with the sound played on the intelligent computer.

Zhuo Pingjian felt awkward for some reason. He coughed lightly, and the embarrassment on his face became even stronger. He scratched his head and asked, "Sir, how did this thing disappear?"

Zhuo Pingjian was embarrassed, pointed at the light board above, and spoke almost in a whisper, but the voice still came out.

Listening to my own voice like this feels... weird.

Zhuo Pingjian's face turned slightly red and his toes touched the ground.

"211, shut down communications."

Bai Xing held back his laughter and spoke in a serious voice.

The two light screens closed and disappeared almost at the same time.

???

Zhuo Pingjian had a big question mark on his face, "Sir, didn't you say that what others said was invalid?"

Bai Xing sneered, "Am I your son someone else?"

“Yeah.” Zhuo Pingjian scratched his head.

The two of them took turns trying it again, and after they became proficient in it, Zhuo Pingjian smiled a little silly.

"Sir, besides being able to contact you, does this have any other use?"

Bai Xing glanced at him and said, "Yes, you can explore it on your own."

"The only benefit of this thing is that as long as we are in the same space, we can get in touch regardless of the obstacles."

Su Shixuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "In this way, we can contact each other even if we are in a fantasy world."

"That's right." Bai Xing nodded, "This is my goal. As long as we are still in the same world, we can contact each other."

Zhuo Pingjian thought for a moment and asked, "Sir, if I want to send a message to you and Su Shixuan at the same time, is that possible?"

Bai Xing also nodded, "Okay."

"Ha," Zhuo Pingjian jumped excitedly, "Great, this will be much more convenient."

"Sir, this is much more useful than the communication talisman. Besides, the communication talisman cannot be transmitted if it encounters a weird formation."

"Hehe." Zhuo Pingjian laughed evilly, and no one knew what was going on in his mind.

Bai Xing shook his head and said, "Let's go up the mountain."

"I just don't know if I'm late."

Su Shixuan said: "Sir, it doesn't matter if I'm late. Shixuan has confidence in himself."

"You have ambition." Bai Xing gave a thumbs up.

After saying that, several people walked towards the mountain.

As soon as he took a step forward, an invisible force spread, the ground beneath his feet gradually changed, and the surroundings became pitch black.

It felt like being in a deserted place, the whole world was dark.

Bai Xing tried calling Su Shixuan and Zhuo Pingjian, but no one answered.

"Heh." Bai Xing sneered, "This Daosheng Sect is indeed a bird of a feather, and is used to using these tricks."

"Hmm?" Bai Xing suddenly moved, tilted his head slightly, and a sound of breaking through the air whizzed past his ears.

A strand of hair fell and fell into Bai Xing's hands.

Bai Xing clenched his fingers and the hair turned into ashes.

"I want to see what tricks Jianshan is going to play."

Bai Xing walked forward in the dark. From time to time, a few swords would fly past, but they did not hurt Bai Xing at all.

At this moment, a panel suddenly popped up above the wrist. It was a call from Su Shixuan.

Bai Xing raised his hand and looked around in the light of the panel, but did not illuminate a single thing, even the arm under the panel was pitch black.

A glowing panel suddenly appeared in the darkness, looking particularly abrupt and strange.

Before Bai Xing could answer the call, he heard more and more urgent sounds of breaking through the air.

"grass!"

The veins on Bai Xing's forehead bulged, "You really know how to pick the right time."

There is no other way. What else can I do? I have to hide.

This round of attack was swift and large in number, not to mention that it took place in a dark environment.

Bai Xing had no time to care about anything else at this time, but Qi Qi seemed to know what Bai Xing was thinking. She connected the call and called Zhuo Pingjian at the same time.

By the time the white star had calmed down a little, the panel had changed drastically. Except for the glowing outer frame, the inside was still as black as ink.

But even with this little light, the attacks never stopped, fast, urgent, and numerous.

"Tear."

The sound of sharp blades cutting through cloth could be heard one after another.

Bai Xing's fiery red clothes were cut into several pieces, but they were quickly sewn back to original shape.

In addition to this sound, there was also the sound of swords clashing. Many sounds mixed together, harsh and dense.

Bai Xing heard many sounds coming from the intelligent computer, and he himself did not suffer many cuts.

Hidden among the many sounds were a few deep groans and gasps.

A surge of anger suddenly rose up, his chest and lungs were burning, and gradually rose to his head, making him urgently want to vent it.

I will feel uncomfortable if I don't vent.

If you don't feel comfortable, no one can expect to have a good life.

In the darkness, Bai Xing's dark pupils were even darker, even darker than the surrounding environment.

Bai Xing's mind moved, and a stone tablet with no color difference from the environment suddenly appeared.

Several harsh sounds sounded almost simultaneously. The virtual boundary monument seemed to be able to see in the dark and spontaneously blocked the attacks.

Bai Xing knew where it was without even looking. He waved while dodging, and the Virtual Boundary Monument appeared in his hand.

Bai Xing took the time to glance at the light screen and immediately closed it, along with the other two screens.

The only light went silent, and as expected, the attack slowed down.

Just knowing that they are still alive is enough, but it still can't stop his desire for destruction. He wants to... destroy this place.

"Xuanjie, do you know where this is?"

The virtual world actually appeared around Shirahoshi when the virtual world monument appeared, but they could not see each other.

But due to the subtle induction of the contract, Shirahoshi knew that he was beside her.

"Let me think about it." Xujie fell into deep thought, "This scene seems a little familiar."

"Where have you seen it before?

The virtual world swayed back and forth in the darkness, ignoring the flying swords passing by and looking around.

There are fewer attacks now, only three or two every now and then, which is not stressful to deal with, but they are as annoying as flies.

It's just annoying for no reason.

"Ah!" Xujie slapped his thigh, "I remember now."

Xujie flew to Bai Xing's shoulder and said, "Master, this is a sword formation unique to Jianshan. It is the first step in the sword-asking test. It tests the sword cultivator's hard work and perseverance. Persistence is victory."

Shirahoshi: “???”

"What kind of nonsense did you and Qiqi go to see? Are these two serious adjectives?"

After Bai Xing realized that this was a sword formation, he simply stopped moving forward and just stood there as a fixed target.

"Uh, no, I didn't. It was Qiqi who loved to watch it, and I was forced to do so. Every time I told it not to watch those stupid movies, it just wouldn't listen. Now, I've also been made stupider."

Bai Xing rolled his eyes and said, "Just admit it. You want to watch it too. Otherwise, even if you can't change the channel, you can choose not to watch it. My sea of consciousness is big enough for you to play with."

Xujie immediately distanced himself from the matter, "It's not me, I didn't do that, I am innocent!"

Bai Xing waved his hand, "You are right, now forget what is in your mind and reorganize your language."

"Okay, Master." Xujie immediately became solemn, "This is Jianshan's unique sword formation..."

"Speak the key."

"Oh, okay." Xujie paused for two seconds and continued, "This formation is called Questioning the Heart. You are in the endless darkness and must always be alert to face sudden attacks. It lasts for 49 days and you cannot slack off at all.

This formation tests the determination and perseverance of the swordsman. Throughout the ages, countless young heroes have failed here."

Xujie shook his head, "This formation's attack power is not strong, but it destroys the spirit. Once he has the intention to retreat, what awaits him is death by thousands of swords piercing his heart.

Bai Xing was thoughtful. "Ask your conscience? A sword cultivator does need to have a strong and fearless heart. Once there is a problem with his state of mind, his journey will end here. In some cases, he will no longer be able to hold a sword."

However, in the darkness, one's fear will be infinitely magnified. It may be fine in a short period of time, but over a long period of time, problems will arise one after another. It is not easy to persist for 49 days.

What a good question.

What people are asking about is ambition, facing fear, defeating yourself and surpassing yourself; this is really strong and can directly make people mentally collapse.

Both physical and mental torture.

Even the strongest man would collapse if he stayed in the dark for such a long time and had to remain vigilant 24 hours a day to avoid flying swords, right?
