It's all fake, I said to myself, to make my fear dissipate faster.
"Miss Su Su, the more you are afraid of these things, the more there will be. He is a weakness in your heart, try and see what kind of result he will bring about if you stop being afraid."
Shuo Yue seemed to have also realized that all the things that had fallen were closing in on me, and wouldn't attack the two of them at all.
Could it be because of my fear that he attacked me alone?
Thinking this way, I pulled out the great sword that I always carried with me and bravely slashed at the disgusting thing beside me.
"Go away! You're not afraid of you! "
Originally, I had already experienced so much. Regardless of whether it's the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Ghost Tower, or Fengdu Ghost City, they are all places with a slim chance of survival.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Those things seemed to be afraid of my attacks and they all retreated, some of the Blood Corpse actually fled for their lives, who knows where they went.
When I finally overcome my fear, the illusion disappeared.
In front of me is still the West Lake's torrential lake water and the air is still fresh and moist. I took a deep breath and realized that I had really come out.
"Damn, I've finally come out. It really wasn't easy, I almost lost all hope at one point."
The Tibetan Old Man still stood quietly beside the West Lake, neither commenting nor denying: "Congratulations, you have won this match."
Even if we win, it seems that this old man has kept his word. Although we don't know if he was lenient or not, we can still be considered lucky to be able to escape this level of illusion.
In fact, the so-called illusion is to defeat the fear in your hearts. The seven emotions and six desires, in the end, are slowly filled with despair, and many outstanding Spirit Master, because of their final decision, will definitely not be able to come out. From disappointment to despair, they gave up their chance to win.
This Master really has nothing else to do, it's fine to take revenge just by saying that, so why are you using this strange method to probe us?
However, Tibetan Old Man immediately answered the question in my heart, "You are the juniors that I have chosen, I admire you a lot. Since my only direct disciple has died, you must compensate me and become my disciple."
After hearing what he said, I still couldn't react. So the reason he gave us these tests was not for revenge, but to select disciples?
None of us expressed our desire to take him as our master. Is it really good for him to act on his own?
Shuo Yue seemed to have already been prepared, he was probably a smart person able to see through the old man's intentions: "Cough cough, Master, I already have a sect and a teacher, I swear that I will not enter any sect, I am willing to give this precious opportunity to my two friends here, they are both intelligent people, I am sure they are the best candidate to be my disciple."
Shuo Yue had once again refreshed my view of him, I never thought that such a sincere and honest person would actually be so cunning.
Zhang Ziyuan's reaction was fast, he immediately said: "Master, I am a demonic spirit cultivator after all, I am probably not suitable to become your secret sect disciple, please forgive me for not being able to fulfil your request."
As a slow-witted, slower-talking girl, I still don't know what happened.
"En, alright then, I also want to accept a female disciple, your name is Su Su right?"
[You really didn't leave me any chance to express my opinion at all, and now you want me to acknowledge me as your teacher?] Other than the two bad friends who were on the side fanning the flames, Sect Leader of the Secret Sect seemed to value me a lot too.
Of the three people, I was the only one who was caught in the trap of the big bed, why was I the most intelligent in the end? I really don't understand.
"Uh, um, actually, I have a master as well …"
The old man raised an eyebrow. "Mm, who is your master? Where is the Celestial Village?"
"Ah, this …" How do I have a master, could it be Master Jun Jun Mingzhu? He hadn't even met her, yet she had already revealed her identity.
"Since there isn't any here, obediently acknowledge me as your teacher!" The old man seemed to be impatient. Zhang Ziyuan and Shuo Yue completely ignored me and were on the verge of tears.
Although Zhuo Sang is no longer here, I have a new disciple. This thing can be considered my greeting gift, when I have time, I will come find you. Master has things to do, so I will be leaving first.
I took the item from the old man. It was a square brocade box. When he looked up again, the old man had already disappeared.
"This, this can be considered as having become a disciple?" I am already the disciple of the Secret Sect? " I still stared at the empty West Lake, as if everything that just happened was just a dream.
"Yes, the leader of the Secret Sect is a man of his word. Since you have already become his disciple, you should be the next Sect Leader of the Secret Sect …"
Hearing Zhang Ziyuan's words, I was so angry that my lungs was about to burst: "Just now, the two of you rejected quickly, leaving me alone, if he didn't take me in, who would he take?"
"Don't think that this is a very difficult matter. Becoming the only disciple of the Secret Sect is something many people dream of. We are letting you win!" Shuo Yue said very seriously.
"Sigh, but I feel that it's strange that the Secret Sect isn't some famous upright sect. Furthermore, I'm already the tower lord of the rain house, isn't it a little difficult to join the Secret Sect?"
"Relax, that's not the case. Originally, there are no restrictions in rain house. If you can enter the Secret Sect, you can learn the most profound illusion techniques and astrology, which will be of great use to you in the future!"
Hearing Shuo Yue say this, I finally understood that they had done it on purpose. They already knew the old man's intentions, and wanted me to learn some illusion techniques in the Secret Sect.
"I'll just treat it as inheriting Cao Yang's legacy …"
"Don't make it so hard, you will know the benefits of the Secret Sect in the future. Why not open this box and see what's inside?"
I opened the brocade box on the four sides and found a book of scriptures inside.
"Miyazong Tibet is a branch of the Tibetan Buddhism, I reckon this scripture is a secret manual for the Secret Sect. If there is nothing else, you can read it. Only the benefits have no drawbacks."
"In other words, I can only be a nun in the future?" The heck, he accidentally ran into an empty door? I'm not ready yet. I'm going to get married and have kids. Jumping out of the Three Realms just like that is a bit too sudden.
The most important thing is that I won't be able to eat meat in the future. That would be too painful, I always like to eat meat.
"What are you thinking about? The majority of the disciples in the secret sect nowadays are only disciples from a common clan, and Cao Yang isn't even a monk."
He never thought that by meddling in the affairs of Boss Liu, he would have a master himself. With the techniques of the Secret Sect, I still have no idea how long it would take for me to catch up with Cao Yang's cultivation.
As his imagination ran wild, he felt more and more sleepy. When he returned to his room in rain house, he touched his own bed, and only then did he comfortably lie down.
I thought mockingly to myself. It seemed that I would have a shadow in my heart whenever I saw a bed in the future. I casually flipped through a few pages of the secret sect's ancient book.
But unexpectedly, in my dreams, the words I just read seemed to have come to life, swaying in front of my eyes. Moreover, there were a few monks who demonstrated some movements and breathing exercises, which I memorized a few times.
Although he slept soundly that night, the things that appeared in his dreams were deeply engraved in his mind. It was as if he had been cultivating for two whole cycles. When he woke up in the morning, he felt completely refreshed.
The next few nights were the same. Every night, before going to sleep, he would flip through a page of the Secret Sect's scripture, and in his sleep, he would be able to easily convert what he saw.
Before going to sleep that night, he flipped through a few pages of the chapter on talismans. At night, he learned the drawing and usage of several common secret sect talismans.
This scripture was truly mystical. Before going to sleep, just by flipping through it, one could roughly guess that it would still be able to understand the effects of it while in deep sleep. It was no wonder that Cao Yang could be so proficient in it at such a young age.
During the day, I drew a few runes according to what I learned while in deep sleep. I kept them in my embrace, not knowing what their effects would be.
Very quickly, the The Psychic World's golden age, the Spirit Channeling, was about to begin. It was said that this time, the gathering location was changed to unpolished jade gang, Zhang Shaowu's territory. Although there were not many people in rain house, with his recent fame, he had a stable status.
"Miss Su Su, oh, that's not right. It's time to call you OP. Today's occasion is very important. There are a few things to take note of."
Shuo Yue was the old driver, she reckoned that Master Jun had a lot of experience traveling all over the place, he would probably attend this kind of occasion many times, it would not be wrong to listen to him.
"Shuo Yue, tell me, I will definitely bear this in mind."
"Firstly, the people who come are not good people, although they are all from The Psychic World, there are good people and bad people, they are not the same as ghosts, but the hearts of people are very complicated, after all, you are currently in a big tree, so it is best not to interact with them."
I nodded, even if Shuo Yue didn't say it, I still would have known. After all, I had been a white-collar worker for a few years, so I knew how to interact with outsiders.
"Second, every time, there will be a competition for Spirit Channeling s. This competition is very important, and shows us our position in The Psychic World. "You should think about it yourself. If you want to make your name known, it's fine to be in the limelight. If you want to remain as low-key as before, it's fine too."
So it turns out that there will always be matches this time around. I wonder who will be the ones fighting this time. Those who will be coming here are all experts. Even if I want to show off, I probably won't be able to match up to them.
Shuo Yue seemed to have understood my thoughts, "Don't worry, there are many experts in The Psychic World right now, as well as many people who don't know anything. It's easy for you to stand out, it's all up to you now. Finally, this time, the Spirit Channeling are probably aiming at how to deal with a troublesome organization called the Demon City, which has already caused danger to the order of the Spirit Realm. If we were to be in the limelight, I'm afraid we will have to take responsibility for dealing with the Demon City. "
