"Fellow Daoist Bai." Chen Luo greeted the figure walking towards him and spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you are here too." Bai Linglong nodded and said calmly.

"Why didn't you see Bei Mingkun?" Chen Luo asked with a frown.

"I separated from him halfway through and haven't seen him come yet." Bai Linglong shook her head.

After seeing Chen Luo, Sun Wukong was about to come over, but Manjushri Bodhisattva shook his head and told him not to contact him too much. After he hesitated, he just greeted Chen Luo from afar.

After Chen Luo returned the gift, he withdrew his gaze and asked Bai Linglong: "Are you waiting for me and Bei Mingkun here?"

Hearing this, the latter shook his head, took him more than ten feet away, pointed to a black stone tablet embedded on the ground, and said, "You will know at a glance."

Chen Luo was full of surprise, lowered his head and looked at the black stone tablet carefully, and saw that the faint light was floating on it, and there was a line of golden small characters floating on it:

"The second floor test will be opened in three days. Those who have not reached this place will be imprisoned forever. Those who leave this place will be teleported out of the tower."

In a simple sentence, it is clear that only those who pass the first floor test and teleport to the second floor can accept the second floor test, and the test place is in the black square under their feet.

After getting this answer, Chen Luo simply didn't feel anxious and sat down cross-legged.

"Is there any clear explanation on the stone slab for the assessment content of these second floors?" Chen Luo asked again.

"I haven't seen it. I arrived two days ago. The text changes displayed on the black stone slab are only counting down, and there is no other information." Bai Linglong shook her head and said.

"Then I have to wait." Chen Luo nodded.

...

A day later, the fifth person finally appeared in the square, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva who was with Sun Wukong and the others.

When he appeared, his clothes were a little messy, and it seemed that he had just experienced a battle.

However, Chen Luo did not communicate too much with them, nor did he know what he had experienced.

In the evening of that day, three more people came to the Black Square. It was Misu, Yuanzu and Tu Shantong who had escaped after fighting with Shen Luo.

When the three of them saw Chen Luo again, their expressions were a little complicated. Chen Luo looked indifferent. Even when they looked at them, there was a faint smile on their faces.

After Mi Su and the other two looked at the text of the stone inscription, they picked a place a little far away from Shen Luo and sat cross-legged, meditating and adjusting their breathing, while waiting for the second level of test to begin.

Everyone waited for a long time until the third day approached the evening when Bei Mingkun finally appeared.

His breath was stable and his behavior was sound, and there was no sign of fierce fighting. Chen Luo just raised his head and nodded slightly, saying hello, and did not ask.

Bei Mingkun did not express any emotion about the others coming to the second floor before he came to the second floor. After a brief observation, he went straight to the black stone slab. After looking for a moment, he looked for a corner on his own, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes to rest.

"It seems that everyone's luck is pretty good." Chen Luo glanced at the other eight people scattered everywhere, and said in his heart.

The first test is luck. Although it seems a bit unrestrained, it is most of the lowest difficulty among all tests. People who can enter this tower are not ordinary people, and it is normal that they can pass all of them.

The next test may be sad every time.

Soon, the seemingly illusory sun in the void in the distance gradually sank under the horizon, and the sky around it gradually dimmed, but it was not completely dark.

There was a faint light everywhere in the entire black square, like the light of fireflies, illuminating the entire square aura.

The surroundings were silent, not even the sound of the wind, so quiet that you could almost hear everyone's breathing and heartbeats gradually.

Just as everyone was about to run out of patience, an illusory sound suddenly sounded from the void around them.

"If you enter this place, if you want to control the pillars of gods and demons, you need to be strong in nature and extraordinary in will. If you don't have a superhuman mind, don't go through this hardship. You can leave here and leave the tower safely."

The ethereal sound echoed between the world and paused for a long time. Everyone on the field was as stable as Mount Tai, and no one moved.

"Since no one wants to leave the tower, he is transformed by this Buddhist sound."

After a moment, a bell rang and spread leisurely all over the world. When everyone heard it, they felt their mood empty and their body and mind were unconsciously relaxed.

Immediately afterwards, a rumbling sound came. The sound gradually grew and grew bigger and bigger from the beginning, slowly whispering a monk, then sang a sutra like a hundred sons, and finally resonated with thousands of people.

The words were blurred and seemed to be Sanskrit scriptures, but they were hard to understand their meaning. Shen Luo thought for a long time and found that it was not the Buddhist scriptures he had known in the past.

However, whether it was Shen Luo, Bei Mingkun, or Bai Linglong, the three of them felt that when the sound sounded, there was an unknown force that made their mood calmer, and their original fighting spirit gradually faded.

The other side of Misu and the other two were even more so. Even the fierce light in the ape ancestor's eyes unconsciously weakened.

On the contrary, Manjushri Bodhisattva and the other three had bright eyes and were not as strongly affected as they were.

Bai Linglong, who had just escaped from the Demon-Suppressing Tower, was far from his peak, both magic power and soul power. At this moment, he felt a little drowsy and unconsciously wanted to sleep.

"What secret method is this? It is obviously not a mediocre sound, but it still makes people lose their fighting spirit and cannot have the desire to fight?" Bei Mingkun was surprised and couldn't help asking.

"This is the Guanyin Mantra." Bai Linglong's voice sounded weakly.

Shen Luo still felt unfamiliar when he heard this name. At this moment, his eyelids gradually became heavier, and a feeling of sleepiness that was irresistible made him feel drowsy.

This is not because his soul is not strong, but because this Guanyin mantra is not an attack on the soul, but more like a magic mantra to protect the soul, making people unconsciously let go of their burdens and calm their souls.

Shen Luo had never felt this way in the past, just as if the fatigue came from the depths of the soul, and the soul was tired for half a lifetime. If you wanted to rest for a moment, you naturally could not arouse the resistance of Buzhou's Shenshou Art.

Just when he was about to sink into it, a voice suddenly came from the sea of ​​consciousness: "Recite the Diamond Sutra with his soul."

He is very familiar with this voice, from Sun Wukong.

Without hesitation, Shen Luo immediately recited silently with his soul: "I heard this. For a moment, the Buddha was in the Kingdom of Shravas..."

As the chanting of the Diamond Sutra sounded in the sea of ​​consciousness, a layer of golden light immediately lit up from his soul villain. The light that bloomed reflected the sea of ​​consciousness, and immediately blocked the influence of the Guanyin mantra.

The sinking sea of ​​consciousness immediately returned to Qingming Festival, and the sleepy feeling disappeared.

"Thank you." Chen Luo was delighted and immediately replied.
