In the dark passage, Li Yan was "crawling" forward little by little in a strange posture, with one hand raised above his head and the other hanging down to his leg.
Li Yan did not dare to retreat and could not do it. The entrance he just entered seemed to be sealed.
Li Yan kicked back a few times with his feet before, and the feeling coming from behind was the same as the wall beside him, which was not moving at all.
As for crawling forward in the passage, he can still go back and forth, but he will definitely not do that.
In the pitch-black and hot passage, the forward movement seems to be endless. A person is crawling slowly. The space around him that cannot move freely brings about psychological depression and eternal loneliness.
It's not that Li Yan doesn't want to use his spiritual power and move forward quickly. Going a little distance here requires a lot of physical strength. He can't waste his spiritual power when he can't determine the specific situation ahead.
In a dark and narrow space, a person will slowly lose his sense of time. You don’t know how long it has passed. It may be just one day, but you think it is many days and nights.
In the end, even if it is only a moment, it will become as long as decades in your heart, and you will be so helpless and tormented.
In this environment, the best thing to do is to calm down and slowly find a way out.
Unfortunately, the narrow dark passage where Li Yan is located will not let you calm down at all, because the temperature here can melt a mortal in an instant.
The suffocating heat is constantly coming from the passage. Even if the cultivator is resisting, the constant consumption of spiritual power and physical strength will make you become more and more anxious and anxious. oppression.
Here, you can't see a trace of light or hear a trace of outside sound. There are only your own heavy breathing and the fire-like turbidity that accompanies every breath you exhale.
Li Yan has been insisting on silently counting his heartbeats. He needs to roughly calculate how long he has spent here.
Two hours have passed, and the distance of crawling forward is less than twenty feet, which is not much faster than a snail.
The black robe on his body was wet, dry, and wet again. Li Yan had to stop occasionally and use the "Cloud and Rain Technique" to catch some water droplets into his mouth. Just like this , spiritual power is consumed faster.
Although the body was tightly trapped in the dark passage, luckily the spiritual energy was not isolated, so the magic could still be performed.
Li Yan also wanted to try the "Earth Thorn Technique" on the passage wall, and then used his spiritual power to turn into a long rope to wrap around the protruding earth thorn in front, and used the force to pull it forward quickly.
But it is a pity that even with his current cultivation level, after the magic formula is punched out, except for a rumbling sound, not even a small hole can be left on the wall of the passage.

The bright fire unicorn looked at the black passage in front of it in disbelief. This was the fifteenth time it tried to enter in the past three days, but every time it was blocked by someone. An irresistible force of repulsion directly pushed it away.
"It's been three days, why is that kid not dead yet? This is unreasonable!" The bright fire unicorn was a little anxious and crazy.
There are two passages behind the red door. Although the dark passage is entered, no attack will occur.
But anyone who can come out of the black passage alive would rather enter the golden passage and keep killing people than enter the dark passage for the second time. The most terrifying thing is to leave a narrow escape to the living people. The next experience of eternal terror.
The hope in the black passage that makes you useless, and the loss of decades or even hundreds of years of cultivating Qi and calming the mind will only make you despair in helplessness and lose your life in despair.
Although the constant fighting in the golden passage will make people feel extremely tired and weak, there will always be intermittent rests. The most important thing is that there is a wide space so that the monks can know in their hearts that they are still alive. , the body is free, and the senses are free.
The bright fire unicorn guards the gate here. It can easily enter both passages. There is no special reason. It was the original refiner who allowed it to enter.
But there are still special circumstances. Only one living body can enter the channel at a time. As long as he is not dead, even the bright fire unicorn cannot enter.
Therefore, there are countless "fire eyes" on the mountain of "Fire Palace" for many people to enter at the same time.
"Damn human boy, I want to see how long you can hold on. When all the elixirs in your body are used up, I will see how you can survive." The bright fire unicorn looked at the dark passage, I thought bitterly in my heart.
In its opinion, Li Yan who entered the passage must be the core disciple of that large sect. Otherwise, how could he be here with such a low cultivation level.
Of course, he has a protective magic weapon similar to the light yellow folding fan. Any magic weapon requires the consumption of spiritual power, not to mention that the channel is not suitable for practice and recovery at all, so it can only be done with elixirs. Replenish spiritual power.
If you want to break through here, the price is your life. After all, a monk's storage bag is limited, and it must not only contain pills.
…………
Li Yan felt extremely uncomfortable. He had maintained this weird posture for five days. The two arms, one up and one down, had a limited bending arc. All he can do is bend his legs slightly and move forward a little bit.
The speed was unusually slow, and he had to stop and rest from time to time. This seemingly easy step on the ground was actually extremely draining of energy.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
In the past five days, he estimated that he might not have crawled five times.A hundred feet away, at first, Li Yan was still thinking about his mistake and how to get out, with all kinds of thoughts coming to him.
He does not regret his choice, nor does he resent the bright fire unicorn. He can survive to this day only by being careful.
Although sometimes he is too careful, Li Yan does not think that he is a god. After all, he is a human being. As a human being, he will make mistakes. It is impossible that he is the only smart person in the world and everyone else is stupid.
Every time you suffer, you gain wisdom. As long as you don’t lose your life immediately, there is a chance to make up for everything.
In his consciousness, there is still no end ahead, and his clearly audible breathing sound can be heard in his ears. In the gap between his breaths, Li Yan can also hear his own "dong-dong" heartbeat. It was so loud that it even felt a bit deafening.
Of course, all of this is just a feeling. You can hear your heartbeat, but it is not that loud. It’s just that there is no day or night here, and the heat and sweltering heat never stops. In addition to listening to your own heartbeat and breathing, , grinding forward a little, nothing else happens.
At this time, if someone could use great supernatural powers to open the passage, looking from above, Li Yan would be lying in a coffin, trying hard to move the coffin out little by little.
Li Yan felt that he was fortunate to be practicing the Guishui Sutra. Under the cycle of the Five Elements, it could still be used by him in this way, so that he would not exhaust his spiritual power prematurely.
Li Yan's forward movement has become mechanical and numb. In the darkness, a single movement is repeated in a simple and boring manner, and people's thinking can easily stagnate.
The stagnation of thinking means that he will slowly lose consciousness. Li Yan has had hallucinations several times. Sometimes he doesn't know whether he is crawling or has stopped.
Only when he realizes this, will his mind suddenly wake up and he will know what kind of state he is in.
But then in the boring crawl, you will slowly lose consciousness, and many disturbing and strange thoughts will come to your mind. Even the thoughts of the previous moment and the thoughts of the next moment are completely different. There is no connection.
Sometimes he would think about how far ahead there would be, and whether there would be any sudden changes here. Before he could imagine any changes, his parents might appear sitting at the dinner table in the next moment. The scene of chatting before eating.
And when he wanted to take a closer look at what his father and mother were talking about, the scene in Qingshan Pass City came to mind again. The flags of the wine shop were shaking, and how could Li Yu poke out of the building again? Come on...
Daqingshan, the Demon Sect, Senior Brother, Seventh Senior Brother, Zhao Min, Gong Chenying... and even Master Tianbei from the back mountain of Xiaozhu Peak... It's a mess and unknown. Thoughts.
Suddenly, Li Yan was startled, and his eyes returned to the boundless darkness. This was when he briefly regained consciousness, and he was still crawling slowly... Soon after, he Will fall into chaos againmiddle.
In this way, Li Yan gradually lost the concept of time. He didn't know the sun, the moon, or the length of time. He went back and forth between confusion and wakefulness, and his spirit began to fall into a vague state. In the end, I actually forgot where I was and why I was here again for part of the time.
My heart becomes more and more turbulent, and my body feels extremely uncomfortable if I maintain the same posture for a long time. Sometimes I have the terrible thought of cutting off these arms to let my body feel more free.
…………
And the bright fire unicorn outside gradually fell into a rage. It had been waiting outside for twenty days.
Now every half an hour, it will hit the black passage, and then it will be thrown high back, falling to the ground outside the red door, and then its eyes will be red. Get up again.
After the red fire was refined by it, what excited the bright fire unicorn was that its soul power had improved a little, which had caught up with the past few months of hard work.
The soul and consciousness are equally difficult to cultivate, and the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can improve them are extremely rare. Even if they exist, they are usually only possessed by monks with great supernatural powers.
This kind of stimulation is huge, and the bright fire unicorn is even more eager to let Li Yan die immediately. Now it has regrets. It should have killed the boy at all costs instead of It's so painful now.
…………
Li Yan didn’t know that what he had experienced was the reason why many fake elixir monks came here. They could be promoted to the fake elixir realm and gain most of their spiritual power. The degree of condensation has reached the requirements for forming pills. What they lack is the understanding of the state of mind and the breakthrough in the line between life and death.
The two passages in the "Fire Palace" have exactly these two functions. The dark passage tempers the monk's state of mind and leads to nirvana and rebirth in the midst of inner demons. This has a similar effect to the "Dustless Pill".
It’s just that this kind of training is more domineering and thorough. You won’t die after eating the “Wuxin Pill”, but in the black passage of the “Fire Palace”, it is extremely dangerous, and you will die. They are all minor. Struggling in pain and struggling to survive is the psychological shadow of a lifetime.
Monk Yiming finally chose to enter here after swallowing the "Wuxin Pill" several times to no avail.
There is endless killing in the golden passage. You cannot stay where you are. Even if you kill all the powerful souls nearby, more powerful souls will still appear soon after. What the monk has to do Just keep moving forward and killing until you finish the golden passage.
…………
In the eternally silent world, depression and darkness always lingered around Li Yan. Finally one day, Li Yan stopped moving forward and his consciousness became disordered. It's unbearable. Anyone left in darkness for who knows how many days will eventually lose their psychological balance completely. Li Yan is a human being, and he is no exception.
Listening to my own voice in the darkness.Breathing, unable to feel whether his arms were still feeling, Li Yan's eyes were suddenly no longer dark.
Pieces of crystal snowflakes bloom in the sky, making the world bright. Among the snowflakes, many familiar faces appear far and near. They seem to be saying something to themselves, their expressions There was anxiety and helplessness, but Li Yan couldn't hear clearly, there was only a hum.
Suddenly, Li Yan had a moment of clarity. This was a dream, as messy as the dreams he had had many times during this period, but this time the dream was more real and very close.
