Chapter Sixteen Knocking on the Heart
"Currently known information: Knocking on the heart and the road of reincarnation are the main means by which Hades tests humans. Those who pass will be recognized by Hades and become one of its agents."
"This matter involves the contact between Hades and the human world. Please be sure to follow the Ember Apostle."
The information prompts of the torch appeared in my mind one after another.
Yan Jing, who was standing behind Bai Ruosu, was a little confused at this time.
You must know that unlike Bai Ruosu who only works for the underworld and protects Fengdu, he came to this world with other purposes.
In Bai Ruosu's eyes, the old man who led them just now might just be an ordinary follower of Hades, but in Yan Jing's view, the special spiritual energy lingering around him was always warning him not to act rashly.
Yan Jing did not want to attract the attention of Hades at this time.
After all, from the previous performance of the torch, we know that it cannot interfere too much in this world. If it attracts the attention of King Yama and is regarded as an invading evil spirit...
Regardless of the fate of the torch, Yan Jing is afraid that he will have to go to the eighteen levels of hell in Hades, and he will get a one-way ticket.
Because of this, Yan Jing hesitated a little as he watched Bai Ruosu pass the two statues in front of the palace.
In order to complete one-third of the main mission, it seems a little unworthy to take risks in a place like this?
"Hades is only responsible for setting up tests and does not care about the number of people who accept the tests."
"The brand belonging to the apostle will disappear temporarily, and you will become the same person as Bai Ruosu and accept the test of the level."
"If everything goes well, you can also get special rewards!"
Xu knew that time was running out, and the Torch made it very clear this time. It wanted to figure out the connection between Hades and this world. Simply watching Bai Ruosu's test was not enough, but Yan Jing needed to participate.
To put it bluntly, the two tests of the palace are more like a special mechanism set in advance.
It is only responsible for testing the participants, and does not care whether one person or two people enter today.
Bai Ruosu thought that the person he brought in was a soul warrior, but he didn't know that Yan Jing entered as a human being.
What's more important is that once you cross the threshold, the test begins.
Bai Ruosu's attention will inevitably be focused entirely on her own test, and she won't even bother to observe Yan Jing.
This is undoubtedly an opportunity in front of Yan Jing.
He was a little hesitant before and when he heard that he could also get a reward, he almost immediately thought of the Boiling Mask in his hand.
Without hesitation, Yan Jing decisively stepped up to follow Bai Ruosu.
Things developed exactly as he thought.
When it comes to the future development of herself and the Bai Mansion, Bai Ruosu has already put all distracting thoughts behind her, walked between the two statues without looking away, stepped up the stairs, and came to the vermilion door of the palace.
Gorgeous light golden carvings are all over the entire door, and the bright golden sunlight falls on it, making it shine brightly.
Take a deep breath.
Bai Ruosu reached out and pushed open the door, her eyes eagerly squeezed through the crack in the door.
The expected statues of the gods of Hades did not appear in front of them.
The interior of the hall she saw was nothing more than a large, empty room. The floor was paved with wooden boards. There was a light yellow futon in the center, and an ordinary oil lamp was lit in front of it.
Lifting her feet and stepping into the threshold, Bai Ruosu walked forward to where the futon was without any extra guidance.
Sit cross-legged.
In what form will the test begin, and what kind of response should I make...
No matter how much preparation I made before coming.
When things come to an end, Bai Ruosu still inevitably thinks about what will happen next and what she may have to experience.
Soon she discovered that her breath was filled with colorful colors!
They overflowed from the mouth and nose, and at first they would dissipate in mid-air, but not long after, they gathered in one place and flowed towards the center of the lamp, soaking the wick with lamp oil.
The brown lamp oil was unknowingly dyed with the same color, like a palette, with many colors mixed together in a mess, and the wick soaked in it was also affected.
at some point.
A strange flame ignited at the top of the wick.
It emits a faint colored light that represents the seven emotions and six desires.
Their provider, Bai Ruosu, had already bowed his head on the futon and fell into a deep sleep.
Her test has begun.
The situation Yan Jing faced was completely different.
If he is really a low-level soul warrior, he should wait quietly outside the palace at this time, but who makes him one of the people who are tested.
The moment Bai Ruosu pushed open the palace door, his consciousness fell into a brief trance.
...
An old cabin that keeps shaking.
Thunder mixed with the sound of surging waves came from outside the cabin for a moment.
The dim light cast by the chandelier swings back and forth, passing by the light red bracelets, photo frames and sketching and painting props on the bedside table.
There is a "blessing" knot at the joint of the bracelet, which looks like it was knitted by someone's own hands. Inside the photo frame is a family portrait of a family of three. A middle-aged couple is standing on the left and right, with kind and happy smiles on their faces.
.
In the middle of the two stood a thin young man wearing black-rimmed glasses and looking very shy.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Someone outside hurriedly slapped the cabin door and shouted in a rough voice,
"Yan Jing, don't hide in the quilt like a fucking girl. Don't you want to experience life? Come out and do things!"
The knocking on the door lasted for more than ten seconds, and it stopped when the man outside cursed.
On the bed against the wall in the room, a thick blanket was gradually loosened.
The young man reached out to fumble for his glasses beside the pillow. His white vest was loose and drooping, and his thin skin and tender flesh were exposed. It was obvious at first glance that he had not exercised at all.
"Got it, come right away."
He responded timidly, listened carefully, and found that there was no movement outside. The young man breathed a sigh of relief.
I took out my cell phone and took a look, but there was still no signal. The facial features on my face couldn't help but wrinkle together.
"Yan Jing, Yan Jing, you are such an idiot. Why did you have to go with Uncle Zheng's boat in the first place? It's better now. If there is a storm, it will be a problem whether you can go back."
He pinched his cheeks with both hands to cheer up his drowsy spirit. Although Yan Jing kept mumbling, his movements were still fluent. He grabbed the thermos cup on the bedside table, took a sip of coffee, and carefully opened the door and walked out.
Finally, he grabbed the raincoat neatly stacked next to him and walked out of the crew room.
Quickly go up the iron ladder.
Halfway through, Yan Jing's movements suddenly stopped and he looked around blankly. For some reason, he always felt that this scene was inexplicably familiar, as if he had experienced it in a dream.
But the situation at that time seemed a little different from now.
Entering the control room on the deck, I saw a middle-aged man in a floral shirt holding the rudder.
The glass on the front of the cabin is poured by rainwater, and it can only be reluctant to see that the crew is fixed on the deck with the help of high -power probe lights.
The surroundings of fishing boats are turbulent waves.
There are often waves that hit the hull, and the seawater splashes like a curtain.
"Uncle Du, can I help it?"
To the middle -aged man, Yan Jing asked softly.
"What ... you louder, I can't hear!"
Du Ming looked at Yan Jing next to his eyes, frowned and shouted firmly.
"I want to help! What can I do?"
Yan Jing can only shout repeatedly.
"It seems that something is not clean outside ... Forget it, just stay here, nothing about you, don't scare you later."
Halfway, Du Ming closed his mouth again, shook his head, and raised his hand to signal a chair not far away.
