Gu Yuan originally just said it casually, but he didn't expect that he really made it true.
The fourth contestant to appear was Chang Yi. He was still standing where Gu Yuan and the others were before, immersed in the role and sorting out the information in his brain.
But before he could recover, the fifth person couldn't wait to appear.
There was not even two minutes between them.
Everything was so sudden.
"Ouch" twice.
Shen Shuyang, the fifth one who appeared, was riding directly on Chang Yi's neck as Gu Yuan said before.
Chang Yi was immersed in the role and had not yet come out. Unprepared, someone suddenly appeared on his neck. In an instant, his knees softened and he knelt in front of Gu Yuan and the others.
Shen Shuyang blinked, then lowered his head and looked at Chang Yi on his crotch, looking a little shy.
Gu Yuan and others looked quite embarrassed.
After all, this was not a holiday, and Chang Yi was only a few years younger than him, so why did he kneel down...
Chang Yi raised his head and looked upward. At this moment, Shen Shuyang also lowered his head and looked down, and their eyes met.
After being stunned for about five seconds, Chang Yi finally reacted and let out a roar, then suddenly exerted force and directly hit Shen Shu Yang was thrown out.
Shen Shuyang's reaction was faster. He could be considered spinning and jumping in the air with his eyes closed, and then stood firmly.
But the next second, Chang Yi came towards him with a ferocious face and killed him!
"I'll kill you!"
Shen Shuyang shrank his neck and quickly ducked away.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Brother, please don't be so grumpy..."
Chang Yi was always a person who cared about face very much, not to mention that in front of Gu Yuan and the others, he actually felt a wave of tension on his neck...
Oh, Shen Shuyang didn't do it.
But this is also a crotch humiliation!
Gu Yuan, Luo Yi and Xun Kaihe quickly stood up and pulled them apart.
"Hey, we are all on our own, so don't fight!"
"If you do this again, I will sue the teacher!"
"Stop fighting, don't fight anymore!"
After finally calming Chang Yi down, Luo Yi also told him about the situation just now.
"You should have taken two steps. You have been standing there. He has nowhere to go when he comes down. You can't blame him, right?" Luo Yi said.
After Chang Yi understood what was going on, he slowly calmed down.
Gu Yuan looked at him and found it funny.
In fact, Chang Yi didn't stand there for long at all.
Luo Yi and Xun Kaihe had never encountered such a situation before, one stop lasted for more than ten or twenty minutes, or even less than half an hour.
All things considered, it was really Chang Yi who was unlucky.
There is a small chance that he could be hit by him at such a small time...
However, looking at Chang Yi sitting in the corner sulking, Gu Yuan also fell into deep thought.
As a person from the Heavenly Palace, Chang Yi, Gu Yuan didn't know much about him, but this second level of the Three Lives Realm was obviously a test of one's state of mind.
Gu Yuan was not surprised that a reckless man like Luo Yi could pass the test. After all, the important thing in this test was to follow one's heart and stick to one's heart.
but……
Chang Yi was able to pass the test.
At this moment, Gu Yuan even began to wonder if he had any prejudice against Chang Yi before.
At the same time, Luo Yi also asked about Shen Shuyang.
"I didn't expect you to be able to pass this level. I really underestimated you before. What kind of plot are you encountering now?"
Shen Shuyang laughed loudly and said, "I was just clinging on! I didn't do anything until the end of my life. I finally died and came back."
Gu Yuan originally thought Shen Shuyang was joking, but as he listened, he discovered that this guy was actually serious.
Shen Shuyang's copy is actually similar to the current world, except that in addition to demons, there is also a plague that has a very strong spreading ability.
That year, the character played by Shen Shuyang was just eighteen years old.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he moved directly into the mountains and built a safe house. He never had contact with outsiders until he died.
When he heard this, Gu Yuan simply fell in love with him.
This kind of loneliness is unbearable for ordinary people.
When Shen Shuyang talked about this, his expression was very natural, and he did not feel at all that this was such an outrageous thing.
At this moment, Gu Yuan seemed to understand.
Stay quiet and don't take risks.
Perhaps, this is Shen Shuyang's original intention?
Shen Shuyang grinned and said with a smile: "I have always been a person who is afraid of death, ever since I was a child. It's strange to say that I have never been so passionate. Even when facing the test of the three realms, I still know what I need to do to ensure my survival."
Speaking of this, he looked at Gu Yuan: "Tell me, does this count as following your heart?"
Gu Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
What a mess is all this...
"Didn't the stone tablet say, live towards death?" Gu Yuan suddenly asked.
Before accepting the second test, Shen Shuyang had conveyed a message to Gu Yuan. Although he only said two words, stone tablet, it made Gu Yuan understand the core of the second test at a critical moment.
It was considered a great help to him.
Although he had forgotten that he was Gu Yuan when he was Xu Lin, the occasional poems that popped up showed that those memories had not completely disappeared and would still have some impact on him.
"Yes, my original intention is to stay alive, but in that world, the deep forest is actually a very dangerous place. Although I can avoid the plague, there are also demons lurking in it. It is already a place of death, but I prefer Traveling to the Tiger Mountain, doesn't this mean... living towards death?" Shen Shuyang asked.
Gu Yuan was speechless for a moment.
It makes so much sense...
He slowly figured out the logic, and combined it with Shen Shuyang's statement, that is to say, when facing the second test, the key is to follow your heart, retain the original soul, and remain the same when faced with the choice that should be struggled. Stay true to your heart.
Whether it was Luo Yi leading troops to defend the city, Gu Yuan rejecting the first assistant, or Shen Shuyang walking towards the mountain, they were all "doing something knowing that it was impossible to do".
He looked at Chang Yi, more curious about what kind of choices this guy faced in the second test, and what choices he made?
He didn't ask. He also knew that Chang Yi had regarded him as an imaginary enemy. Even if he spoke, he would just be asking for trouble.
After a long silence, Gu Yuan shook his head.
"It seems like, actually, the second test isn't too difficult."
"That's hard to say." Shen Shuyang said quietly, "Actually, I encountered several dangers in the mountains and forests. If I were given another chance to choose, I might not do that."
"That's true." Gu Yuan was a little silent.
What will their future lives be like for Xu Laosan and Wang Zhixia of Jingguo? After jumping out of the world, Gu Yuan could speculate that Wang Zhixia and Xu Laosan, after Xu Lin was imprisoned, might go to the chief minister to beg for help, or even search for them on the road to exile.
If he saw that Xu Laosan and Wang Zhixia were not living a good life, would he really dare to refuse the chief assistant? Would you still make that choice?
Sticking to your heart may sound simple, but there are always countless choices in life, and even Gu Yuan cannot guarantee that he will make the right choice every time.
This second test is not just about asking questions, but maybe there is also a certain amount of luck involved?
Thinking of this, Gu Yuan suddenly became confused.
"Don't think so much. Since you have passed the test, it is a good thing." Shen Shuyang said, "Do you know why I want to enter the Three Lives Realm?"
Gu Yuan shook his head.
"It's because, in the realm of three lives, you will definitely not die. Even if you die in the test, the most you can do is to be sent out. However, every time I experience the realm of three lives, my strength will improve. This is simply indescribable. This business is profitable no matter what!" Shen Shuyang said.
Luo Yi and Xun Kaihe both nodded lightly.
"This second test of the three living realms is indeed helpful for sharpening one's state of mind..."
"Yes, we can be considered to have lived a lifetime longer than other people, haha!" Luo Yi also said with a smile.
Shen Shuyang added: "Actually, every test in the Three Lives Realm is different. This time is a bit special. I don't know if such a situation has ever happened before, which actually allowed me to spend my whole life in the Three Lives Realm. …Anyway, I’ve never heard anyone mention it before.”
"So, wouldn't we have made a lot of money this time?" Luo Yi suddenly beamed.
"This is natural." Shen Shuyang laughed and said, "But I think this is probably because the three realms are getting more and more difficult. Just take me for example. During the process, I actually died if I was not careful. , even if it fails, it will still be a long sixty-seven...ahem."
"You lived to be sixty-seven?" Luo Yi said somewhat surprised.
When Shen Shuyang heard this, he suddenly became unhappy.
"It's not easy to live to the age of sixty-seven in the wild mountains without enough food or clothing. Especially after sixty, the body's functions deteriorate, and even if you fall off a bone, there will be problems, okay?"
Luo Yi thought for a while and nodded.
"What you said makes sense. Although my character is the king of a country, I was actually almost killed by several brothers when I was young... Damn it, if I really died at that time, wouldn't it be considered a failure? "
Thinking of this, Luo Yi suddenly shuddered.
Chang Yi looked at them and said nothing, but his expression was a little impatient, probably because he thought they were noisy.
But he also knows that right now, he can't offend anyone casually. After all, when the third test begins, it will no longer be a single-player copy. If he is targeted, wouldn't he be eliminated early?
What makes Chang Yi depressed is that he seems to have been isolated now. Under this situation, Gu Yuan's popularity still seems to be good. Seeing the lively scene of those people sitting together, he began to worry.
'Perhaps I should find two allies next...' he thought in his mind.
Just at this moment, the beam of light appeared again.
Chang Yi stood up subconsciously, his eyes burning.
It’s time for you to take the initiative!
