Chapter 189: Stars?
Although there were doubts in his heart, Li Feng did not delve any further, but asked straight to the point, "How are we going to get out?"
???? Sure enough, the man pointed to the west, "Go that way!" and then fell silent.
???? Li Feng said goodbye, left with everyone, and embarked on the journey again, walking, when suddenly there was a commotion in the procession, and the crowd retreated.
????“ What's wrong?what's going on?" After Li Feng heard the movement, he couldn't help but look at the place where the incident occurred, only to see a person kneeling on the ground, looking painful and struggling, and patches of black wings were growing on the surface of his skin.
???? That person is Chen Tiandou, this person Li Feng has noticed before, he is a rare genius, and at the same time he is an ability and a cultivator, and he can compete with the peak of Qi cultivation with the skill of the tenth layer of Qi training, otherwise he would not appear in this team.
????“ Is the moon coming out?" Li Feng noticed the phenomenon on Chen Tiandou's body, and couldn't help but look at the night sky, only to see the bright moon slowly move out of the clouds and mist, scattering a piece of silver-white moonlight.
???? Chen Tiandou turned into a half-human, half-bird eagle, or a carving man, Li Feng felt very novel, he had only briefly understood Chen Tiandou before, and he also knew that this was Chen Tiandou's ability, but he had never been able to see it before.
???? Chen Tiandou usually doesn't go out at night, because it's quite inconvenient to transform into a carving person when he sees the moonlight.
???? At this moment, his wings were black and bright, like a sharp sword hanging on his body, and because of his transformation, his body size had also swelled a lot, and his eagle eyes were like knives, as if he could easily see through everything, he screamed, and then fluttered his wings and jumped up, and then landed firmly on the ground again.
????“ I'm fine, just move on......"
???? Everyone who heard Li Feng's words turned their eyes to the night sky overhead, and sure enough, they all saw the bright moon slowly appearing, but if they didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to see it.
????“ Why did this moon appear at this time? It hasn't been there before, right?" someone asked curiously.
????“ What's the matter with this man? How can he suddenly deform when he sees the moonlight?" someone wondered.
????“ I thought he was going to turn into a werewolf, and I was taken aback. "Some people have lingering palpitations.
???? ......
???? For this question, everyone naturally can't find a definite answer through thinking, so there is no way, so they can only move on.
???? After leaving the "Shita Village" for more than ten kilometers, everyone saw a figure in the desert again.
???? Those people were gathered in front of an ancient tree, they were skinny, their eyes were deep-set, they looked languishing, they were folded with their hands in their expressions reverent, and they had words in their mouths, and they didn't know what they were doing.
???? There were no leaves on the trees, but fist-sized paper balls, which fluttered in the wind and looked slightly grotesque.
???? Li Feng and the others stepped forward and found one of them and asked, "What are you doing?"
????“ We are praying to Heaven that the plague in us will dissipate and we will be healthy. The man replied.
???? Li Feng pointed to the package hanging on the tree and asked, "What is hanging on it?"
????“ It is a panacea that can cure all diseases. The man replied.
???? Li Feng was stunned for a moment, and then looked confused, so he asked, "Then in that case, why don't you take the elixir to cure the plague?"
???? But the man shook his head, "If it can't be cured, some of us have tried, but some of us still die." ”
???? Not only Li Feng, but everyone else also looked weird, as if they had heard the most absurd thing in the world.
????“ Then don't you try it again? There are so many elixirs, and after you eat them, maybe some people will survive. Li Feng said: "Isn't hanging on a tree a waste?"
???? When the man heard this, he was displeased, and said, "You are not us, you don't know what kind of plague we have, you don't know what kind of elixir it is, you don't know anything, why do you accuse us?"
???? Li Feng and the others were speechless for a while, and didn't say anything more, but just asked the same question again: "How are we going to get out?"
???? The man pointed to the west, "Go there." After that, he stopped paying attention to Li Feng and the others, and continued to bow his head and pray.
???? The crowd hit the road again, only this time they weren't as anxious as before, because it might not just be a matter of how far they had to go to get out, but they had to find a way to actually get out.
???? It's just that all they saw along the way were some absurd and bizarre scenes, which was really confusing.
???? While everyone was moving forward, they were also discussing the problems and phenomena that appeared in this illusion, Li Feng was not idle, he was thinking, this illusion of the psychedelic forest was a level designed by Jiuyuanmen to screen introductory disciples for testing, so the original intention of this level design must be related to the type of disciples to be recruited by Jiuyuanmen.
???? What kind of disciples did the Jiuyuan Sect need? This question may be very crucial, Li Feng fell into deep thought, trying to recall in his mind the disciples of the Jiuyuan Sect that he had come into contact with, did they have anything in common before?
???? The road continued, although the pace slowed down, and everyone explored the methods and key clues as they walked, but as they walked, they all encountered the next scene.
???? In the distance, on a small hill made of rocks in the distance, there was a man with his hands raised and a stone in his hand.
???? Li Feng and the others walked over and asked, as always, "What are you doing here?"
???? The man holding the stone in his hands said to him, "I am holding the star, and I want to hold this star to the sky." ”
???? Li Feng said: "But what you are holding in your hand is only a stone, right?
???? When the man heard this, he laughed: "You are outsiders, aren't you?"
???? Li Feng and the others looked at each other, not knowing how to answer, so they could only reply simply: "Yes, but does this have anything to do with us?"
????“ I don't know if you've ever heard of the saying that a pig can go up to the sky when he stands on the wind!" said the man, pointing to the night sky, "As long as I stand high enough, the stone will absorb the moonlight sprinkled by the bright moon, and then it will shine into a star, and become very light, and then it will be able to fly to the sky with the help of the wind in the sky, and then it will become a real star." ”
???? ?
???? What is this? This man's words obviously do not conform to common sense, how can a stone absorb the light of the moon and become a star?
???? Most of Li Feng and others were educated, and the reason why the stars shine is not because the moon or sun illuminates them, but because they themselves are luminous, or they are reflective celestial bodies, and they only look small because they are far away.
???? But after thinking about it, this is an illusion, not reality, so there is no need to follow these rules, so according to the logic here, it seems to be much more reasonable.
???? Li Feng asked, "Then why did you do this?"
???? The man hesitated for a moment and explained, "It's too dark here, more light is needed, and with light, it's warm here!"
???? Everyone was a little puzzled, wondering how this person came to such a conclusion, or if there was a problem with the logic of the person in the fantasy world?
???? Li Feng said: "But no matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary stone that can't be ordinary anymore, right?"
???? The man replied, "I know, this stone was actually picked up by me, I just happened to find it, don't you think this stone is very different from other stones?"
????“ This stone looks like ...... A little rounder than the other stones?" Li Feng said uncertainly.
????“ Yes, but not only that, this stone has a smoother surface than other stones, and it can be better held in my hand, so it is also more suitable for star. The man said.
???? Li Feng asked, "But why don't you find a piece of gold, jade, or ...... What about the pearls of the night, to be the stars? If these things are easier to shine than stones, right?"
????“ You're right, these things do shine more easily than stones, but because of this, they are so precious and scarce that they are almost impossible to find, and even if I could, I would be in trouble if I was to stand so tall and hold such a treasure in case I encountered a robber, or attracted other people who also wanted to hold the stars. The man replied.
????“ Are there other people like you?" Li Feng was slightly surprised, "Then why are you robbing? Isn't your purpose the same?"
????“ Of course there are, and there are quite a few. The man replied, "Our purpose is indeed the same, but who doesn't want to be the one who holds up the stars?"
???? Everyone seems to understand this kind of thing, which seems meaningless, but there are so many people who hold stars, and there must be very few people who can hold stars, otherwise this starry sky will not be so dim, so those who can hold up stars will naturally be able to attract the attention of other people of the same kind.
???? But before they could think about it, the man paused, and the words were not finished, "Besides, instead of taking such a big risk and looking for some gold and jade night pearl, it is better to use stones to give it a try, although the success rate is low, but there are many stones here, there will always be one that can succeed." ”
???? Everyone looked at the man holding the star in his hand, and they didn't say anything, and they couldn't tell what it felt, but they felt a little absurd.
????“ How are we going to ......?" and just as Li Feng was about to ask that question as usual, a little star twinkled in the vast night sky, and then drew an extremely long trail of light in the air, and the star was smashing towards the ground at a very fast speed.
????“ Meteors?meteorites?"
???? Everyone stared at it for a long time, and then it was true that the meteorite seemed to be really going to hit the ground, and according to their estimates, it should be smashed not far away.
????“ Hey, look, meteorite...... That's what you call a star, it's going to be smashed!" someone in the team reminded the star bearer.
???? As a result, the star bearer ignored this, but said with a little excitement: "Shhhh
