Zixia Palace has a long history. Most of the main structures of the palaces are wood, carved beams and painted roads are very beautiful, and the wooden mortise and tenon structure is compatible, strong, and has very good earthquake resistance. However, the biggest disadvantage of such a wooden palace is that it is afraid of fire. Once a fire catches, it is often devastating! At this moment, everyone in the side hall seems to have heard the crisp cracking sound of wood when it burns in the flames and the "crackling" sound like a whip...

"There's a fire! Everyone, run!"

Several people closer to the door shouted, and quickly stood up and ran out the door.

"Is it considered not to have completed the test?" The outer disciple who was anxious to pee because of his nervousness said hesitantly.

"I don't care about so much now! Is it important to receive seals or life?" Kundao next to him said, raising his leg and running towards the door.

At the beginning, Zhong Lin was also shocked and thought, why did the fire catch a fire at this time! But in just an instant he calmed down. Because both the smoke and the fire came in from outside, it was obvious that the fire must have been burned from outside. Today is the day when Zixia Palace received the seal ceremony. There are many people waiting for the ceremony outside. If the fire really occurred, the outside would be in chaos. At least the sound of shouting for fire was heard. But now there is no sound of shouting outside the side hall. Isn’t this very strange?

In addition, Zhong Lin found that the people who were shouting in the side hall were running out, except for the disciples of the outer courtyard, lay Buddhists and believers, while the disciples of the inner courtyard were all sitting upright on the cushion and moving without moving. The mountain eagle and lark did not run out, but squeezed in his own direction...

"Don't panic, don't run around, be careful to squeeze and fall, and trampling will occur! The smoke and fire are illusions!"

The one who called out was Zhong Lin. Because he found that there were only two doors in front and back of the side hall, and it was not all opened at this moment, he could only allow two people to walk side by side. In addition, the threshold was high, if everyone ran out in a hurry, it would be easy to trample on the crowded and fall down.

Everyone who had not had time to run out of the side hall stopped, and everyone's eyes looked at the source of the sound - Zhong Lin.

Although Zhong Lin did not use the amplification notes, his voice was loud enough and shocking enough to shock everyone!

"What? It's all illusions?"

The so-called authorities are confused! But then again, water and fire are ruthless. Most people must have run away when they see the fire. However, after Zhong Lin shouted, many people have realized something was wrong, because they have now found that all the disciples in the inner courtyard were sitting upright on the cushion, their eyes were closed, and they did not move at all.

"Damn, we're fooled!"

A disciple from the outer courtyard said angrily.

"Yes, this fire must be a test question!" He was already kicking inside and outside the door, and was about to run out of the side hall Kundao, and quickly withdrew his feet.

"Yes, look, those disciples in the inner courtyard didn't move at all..."

"That's right, we almost fell for it..."

...

Although everyone was a little angry, they were still a little grateful because at least they had not yet run out.

At this time, Zhong Lin shouted loudly again: "Don't be confused, now sit on the cushion immediately, close your eyes, hold your breath and concentrate, calm your energy and purify your mind, and eliminate the illusion!"

In addition to the disciples of the inner courtyard, there were more than 20 people who ran out in a panic just now, the remaining forty people all sat back on the cushion and began to meditate...

In just a moment, Zhong Lin seemed to have become the spiritual leader of these people.

Meihuaque and Shanying had learned the method of meditation with Mr. Zhang before, and now they were sitting next to Zhong Lin.

At this time, there were less than eighty candidates left in the side hall, including the inner disciples!

Zhong Lin just held his breath and concentrated his mind, and the smoke and flames in front of him disappeared. It can be seen that this illusion is just a relatively low-level illusion, which is several levels worse than the Five Elements illusion array I encountered in Hongzhou before...

Compared to Zhong Lin, others were not so relaxed. Many people had beads of sweat the size of beans on their foreheads, including the mountain eagle and the plum blossom bird. They saw their eyes closed, their brows frowned, and the muscles on their faces twitched from time to time like spasms, showing an uncontrollable expression of pain.

Although Shanying and Meihuaque followed Mr. Zhang to study Taoism for not long and did not know how to eliminate illusions by holding their breath, they were special forces soldiers who had undergone special training, with patience, firm thoughts and tenacious spirits that ordinary people do not have, so they gritted their teeth and persevered!

Others with less concentration can't sit still. Although they already knew that everything in front of them might be illusions, they really felt the smoke little by little, surrounding them little by little, swallowing them, and the thick smoke made them feel breathless! Some began to cough violently, and some began to cover their mouths and noses with their clothes...

The flames slowly approached, and Shanying felt that the hairs on his body were curled like grass baked by the scorching sun. Perhaps it was because of the heat expansion and contraction, and all the pores were wide open. And the clothes that were baked by the flames, which were dry and about to catch fire, were pressed against the skin, desperately sucking the juice that oozed out of the pores, as if they were to suck the whole person into a human...

The clothes began to become crunchy, like tin foil wrapped in beggar chickens, pressing against the flesh, making "squeezing" sounds from time to time, and finally the "tin foil" began to melt and burn! Then there were sweat hairs and skin...

The tingling sensation like needle stimulating every cell in the body through every inch of the nerve, making them in pain and unbearable...

Knowing and knowing how to control and use fire to differentiate humans from other general animals, and also makes humans develop greatly. However, fire has always been feared by everyone. As the saying goes, "water and fire are ruthless", there is always a deep fear of fire in people's hearts!

"I can't stand it anymore, help me!"

The Kundao, who had been before, could not bear it anymore. He suddenly opened his eyes, went crazy, and rushed towards the door of the side hall...

Then there is the second, the third...

One after another, people howled heart-wrenchingly and rushed out of the side hall! This also included at least six or seven inner disciples with very shallow cultivation.

Two or three minutes later, the side hall was quiet again, and there were only less than fifty people left in the huge side hall.

"Dingling, Dinglingling..."

After a crisp ringtone, the remaining people in the side hall opened their eyes one after another.

"It's so cool! Haha"

Shanying stretched, shook his wrists, stretched his muscles and bones, and heard the bones on his body ringing with a "grizz"...

"It's so refreshing, just like I just steamed a sauna, my whole body is relaxed and refreshed..."

As the plum blossom bird said, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands.

"Did you take it hard?"

Zhong Lin looked at the sweaty mountain eagle and plum blossom bird, and suddenly understood. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart and cast admiration at them.

You should know that if it is not to resist by cultivation, but only by willpower, it is just an illusion, but it is more painful than the real fire. The real fire is transmitted from the outside to the inside and through the skin to the nerves. The illusion is transmitted to the nerves through the human mind, and then to every inch of the skin and every cell of the body, which is a pain from the inside out, which ordinary people cannot bear at all.

"Hi, boss, we have all experienced the swords and fires, guns and bullets. This hallucination is fake! We have no problem!" Shan Ying said, laughing honestly, and beads of sweat as big as beans slid down with the shaking of muscles on his face.

"That's right, boss, the devil training week of special forces is much crueler than this! We are all rushing to the sea of ​​fire. What's more, boss has told us that all this is an illusion. If we can't bear it, we should go back to the furnace and create it again..."

Although the plum blossom bird looked relaxed, it can be seen from her sweaty face and the blue veins that were still beating on her forehead that compared to those truly relaxed and relaxed inner disciples, what she had experienced!

Feng Zhenren, Zhang Zhenren and four little Taoist priests had already stood in the center of the hall at some point. Zhang Zhenren said with a look of spring breeze: "Congratulations, you can be said to be the best talisman masters I have ever met."

As soon as Zhenren Feng finished speaking, the two little Taoist priests standing behind him took the lead in applause, and then the crowd applause was thunderous.

"So we passed?"

"That's great, great!"

Feng Zhenren waved his hand, and the quiet inside the side hall was restored to its silence. He continued, "Why do I say that? Because in the past, we only conducted one test at most before the seal test, which was similar to the first test today. Today, because there were a large number of people participating in the assessment and there was a special task in it, the second test, that is, the illusion test. As for the special task, I will keep it here for a close visit, and I will talk about it after the seal test ceremony ends..."

"Zhenren Feng, after hearing what you said, have we passed all the assessments and can participate in the Seal Entrance Examination?"

An outer disciple said excitedly that he was one of the few outer disciples who passed the assessment.

Feng Zhenren glanced at the outer disciple and smiled and said, "Congratulations, you are right. All forty-eight people who are left in the hall have passed the assessment. You are about to participate in the next seal receiving ceremony and become a real talisman master!"

"OK……"
Chapter completed!
