Chapter 191 The Test of the Temple
The voice from the temple was deep and solemn: "To open this door, you need to answer three riddles. If you answer incorrectly, you will be trapped here forever."
Shen Mo and others looked at each other in bewilderment, but soon calmed down and prepared to meet the challenge.
The voice slowly asked: "First question, what is something that you cannot see when you have it, but only realize its value when you lose it?"
Shen Mo pondered for a moment and said, "It's time."
The voice in the temple paused for a moment and said, "Correct. Second question, what gets dirtier the more you wash it?"
Lin Yuwei blurted out: "Water."
"Good. The last question is about a man who needs ten minutes to walk across a bridge. However, there is a guard in the middle of the bridge who only allows people to stay on the bridge for five minutes at most. How can this man cross the bridge?"
Everyone fell into deep thought. Time passed by minute by minute. Su Yao said anxiously, "What should we do?"
Qingfeng frowned and paced back and forth. Shen Mo's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "He walked to the middle of the bridge, then turned around and walked back. The guards thought he was coming from the other side and would drive him back, so he passed through."
A voice came from the temple: "Congratulations, you got the answer right. The door has been opened, but there are more tests waiting for you inside."
The door slowly opened, and an old smell blew in. They walked into the temple, which was dimly lit, with strange lights flickering on the walls.
After taking a few steps, cracks suddenly appeared on the ground and flames gushed out of the cracks.
"Be careful!" Shen Mo shouted loudly.
They jumped one after another to avoid the flames and finally came to a relatively safe corner.
"This test is too difficult." Su Yao said, panting.
Lin Yuwei comforted her: "Don't be discouraged, we will definitely pass it."
At this time, a line of words appeared on the wall: "Choose one person to enter the dark passage and obtain the Pearl of Light, otherwise the flame will never go out."
Shen Mo said without hesitation: "I'll go."
"No, it's too dangerous." Lin Yuwei objected.
Qingfeng said, "Let me go. I'm more agile."
Finally, after much debate, it was decided that Qingfeng would take the Pearl of Light.
Qingfeng walked carefully into the dark passage. It was silent inside, with only the sound of his footsteps echoing. After a while, there was a sound of fierce fighting coming from inside.
"Qingfeng!" Shen Mo shouted worriedly.
But there was no response, and everyone's heart was in their throat.
Finally, Qingfeng ran out with scars all over his body, holding a bead emitting dazzling light in his hand.
"Got it!" he said weakly.
The light from the Pearl of Light illuminated the entire temple, and the flames went out.
They continued to move forward and came to a huge stone hall. In the center of the stone hall was a huge stone platform, on which lay an ancient book.
When they approached the stone platform, many phantoms suddenly appeared around them. They were all people who had tried to obtain the power of the temple and failed. They howled in pain and tried to stop Shen Mo and others.
"Don't be influenced by them, this is the final test." Shen Mo said loudly.
Lin Yuwei closed her eyes and silently recited a spell. The magic weapon emitted a warm light and the phantom gradually dissipated in the light.
They finally got the book, which recorded more secrets and usage of the artifact.
Just as they were about to leave the temple, a mysterious figure appeared at the door...
