Everyone looked up and looked at the sky in the forest with blinking eyes, but after looking at it for a long time, the sky was still gloomy and dark and full of black clouds.

It was a little disappointing to climb a few miles of mountain road and find nothing in the end, but it was also expected—the reason why a different scene is called a different scene is because it is rare. If that strange light hangs in the sky 24 hours a day, it is not unusual.

Ye Huilan and others took a photo with a camera to shoot the surrounding environment. While they were busy, Xu Yan asked Zhu Youxiang in a low voice: "Xuan Yun, how is it? Is there anything special here?"

Zhu Youxiang nodded lightly: "The concentration of demonic qi here is particularly high...... Far beyond the ordinary. ”

"Is the concentration of demonic qi very high, how high is it?"

"It's very high, it's very high, anyway......"

Listening to Zhu Youxiang's answer, Xu Yan almost jumped to his feet - such a reply, what is the difference between saying it and not saying it?

Seeing Xu Yan's anxious expression, Zhu Youxiang groaned slightly, and she said: "If the concentration of demonic qi in the domestic capital is one, then here in Tokyo, Japan, the concentration of demonic qi is at least more than twenty or thirty ......."

"So, what about in Hakone?"

Zhu Youxiang did not hesitate: "The concentration of demonic qi here is already too high to be tested! If you take China and Tokyo as the standard, the concentration of demonic qi here is at least more than five thousand-or ten thousand--this is the minimum value!"

Hearing Zhu Youxiang say this, Xu Yan was slightly startled, and he immediately asked again: "So, does it mean that the spatial gap leading to the Demon Realm is nearby?"

"I think it's very likely!"

Xu Yan took a deep breath: "Can you determine the location of that gap?"

"Not yet...... But. I can feel that the further I go up the mountain, the higher the concentration of demonic energy!"

Xu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and he looked at the mountain road that winded up. In this gloomy mountain forest, the visibility is very low, and you can only see the scene from a dozen paces away. Far away, it's hazy and can't see clearly. The foothills are shrouded in layers of faint black mist, and you can't see far away.

Under Xu Yan's spiritual eyes, he could see that the faint black mist, as if it was a living thing, was beating actively in the air - ordinary people couldn't see this layer of demonic energy, they just felt that it was as if they couldn't see far from the hazy sky.

"Isn't it? Is the source of those demonic qi in the mountains?"

Xu Yan secretly pondered, while the reporters were still filming everywhere, he turned to Lin Zhongxiang and asked, "Mr. Lin, if you continue to go up this mountain, what are the places?"

Lin Zhongxiang pointed to the mountain road that continued to wind upward, and said, "Go up about five miles further. This mountain trail comes to an end. At the end is a canyon with a lake underneath it. The lake is surrounded by mountains that stretch all the way to Mt. Fuji. I've been there before, but the canyon is actually connected to the mountain range on the other side, but the mountain is too steep and steep to climb. There's no way to get past it. ”

"Mr. Lin, have you ever been to lakes and canyons recently, and have you seen anything unusual?"

When this sentence was asked, Lin Zhongxiang's face showed a trace of shame, and he shook his head: "No ......"

He was a little ashamed and told Xu Yan: "Mr. Xu." I'm not afraid of your jokes, the fog in this mountain has been getting thicker and thicker day by day, and this mountain forest is becoming more and more gloomy and secluded. In the past, when I got up in the morning to exercise, I could climb up to the top of the mountain and look at the lake, and I could punch on the top of the mountain for half an hour. But after the recent situation, the mountains and forests here seem to be more and more gloomy, and the temperature is getting colder and colder, and I am really a little panicked when I come in alone-let's be honest, I can only dare to go here, and if I go up, I don't dare to go up--I don't know what's going on, and the further I go up the mountain, the more I feel that my heart is hairy, and I feel uncomfortable, as if something is hiding in the forest and staring at me.

If it weren't for you with me, I wouldn't have dared to come here alone -- lately, the temperature here seems to have been lower, and it has become much colder and darker. ”

Xu Yan and Zhu Youxiang exchanged glances again, and Xu Yan asked tentatively: "Mr. Lin, you specially sent a letter to the magazine to inquire about this matter, I'm afraid it's not so simple, right?"

Lin Zhongxiang smiled awkwardly, and he whispered: "Some things are too mysterious, and I don't know how to say it......"

"Hmm, Mr. Lin, you might as well tell me about it. Xu Yan smiled and said: "I'm the most open-minded and liberated person, you just said anything strange, I can understand it - it's okay, you just say it, I can understand." ”

Lin Zhongxiang hesitated and whispered, "Actually, there are still some things that I didn't dare to tell Miss Ye."

Originally, there was strange weather in the woods, which had little to do with me, and I could have ignored it. But then, when I was sleeping at home, I suddenly started to have nightmares and dreams of strange things...... For example, I dreamed of an endless darkness, and I was stuck in it, and I couldn't get out...... I also dreamed of the earth full of magma, and the earth was full of cracks, and those cracks were bottomless, and terrible monsters kept crawling out of the cracks, and they walked everywhere on the earth, with hideous faces, teeth and claws, and the sky was a black and oppressive cloud, and there were lightning and thunderbolts everywhere...... Anyway, seeing this, I have a kind of panic from the bottom of my heart, and every time I wake up from a dream.

I don't dare to say this to others, or they will think that something is wrong with my spirit. ”

Lin Zhongxiang looked at Xu Yan for a while, and he said with a smile: "But, Mr. Xu, you are very calm, you should be more able to accept these than ordinary people." I have a feeling—"

He raised his hand and looked around, drawing a big circle: "What happened here, this is not a simple natural phenomenon like what Reporter Ye said, this is a real supernatural event." I originally thought that the reporters and editors of "Urban Strange Weekly" should have a relatively deep understanding and attainment of these things, and the degree of acceptance should be higher than that of ordinary people. However, I didn't expect ......"

Speaking of this, Lin Zhongxiang shook his head and smiled bitterly, and Xu Yan also understood what he was embarrassed to say: I didn't expect that the reporter from Urban Anecdotal Weekly came over, and he just said some nonsense that didn't hurt or itch. Trying to explain this matter with those superficial natural theories is obviously perfunctory, and it really disappoints Lin Zhongxiang. It's just that the other party is a guest from afar, so he can't say anything.

At this time, Zhu Youxiang interjected: "Mr. Lin, I want to ask, are you a martial arts practitioner?"

Lin Zhongxiang was a little surprised, he looked at Zhu Youxiang in surprise - he had cultivated the inner family since he was a child. So far, it has been more than 30 years of skill, and it has reached the point where it has returned to its roots, and there is no smoke and fire in every move, and it is no different from ordinary people, and outsiders should not be able to see it. And in the answer just now, I didn't reveal any tone at all.

Moreover, when I corresponded back and forth with the magazine, I was only as an ordinary reader. But he didn't mention his own martial arts practice - could it be that this taciturn Miss Zhu was so clever. Can you see that you have martial arts?

However, this delicate Miss Zhu is only sixteen or seventeen years old, how can she have such remarkable eyesight?

But if Miss Zhu hadn't seen it, how would she know that she practiced martial arts?

Could it be that he was his enemy back then......

Thinking of this, Lin Zhongxiang suddenly became vigilant. The body tightened slightly, and the whole person collapsed.

Xu Yan suddenly felt an alarm in his heart - at that moment, his hairs stood on end!

Although Lin Zhongxiang didn't even move, for some reason, Xu Yan felt a great threat. It was like that peaceful and serene overseas Chinese who suddenly turned into a tiger that chose people to devour-Xu Yan's body turned unconsciously, and then took a step back and made a posture of vigilance!

Fortunately, the feeling of being threatened disappeared very quickly. In an instant, Lin Zhongxiang's body had relaxed, and he had become the kind and mediocre middle-aged man again, and he smiled apologetically at Xu Yan: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, I overreacted...... When I was young, I was young and vigorous, and I did some arrogant things and offended some people. In order to settle some grievances, I had to hide in a small town in Japan from Taiwan...... Hehe, I forgot, Miss Zhu and Mr. Xu are both mainlanders, not us Taiwanese -- I'm really sorry! Miss Zhu, I'd like to ask, how do you know that I'm from the martial arts? How did I expose myself?"

Xu Yan smiled, but he was surprised in his heart - he didn't expect that this middle-aged man, who looked peaceful and honest on the outside and looked indisputable, would have such a happy young experience.

Zhu Youxiang said calmly: "Mr. Lin, although you have never shown your skills, but you have strong blood and energy, and your breathing is calm and long, far beyond ordinary people, it can be seen from this, Mr. Lin, you must be a person who practices martial arts." ”

Then, her tone changed: "Moreover, if Mr. Lin, you are not a person who practices martial arts, then ...... Now you're already a dead man. ”

Hearing Zhu Youxiang's words, Lin Zhongxiang was stunned, and then, he showed a slight anger: "Miss Zhu, how can you talk like that? Lin doesn't seem to have offended you in any way, right? What do you mean by cursing me to my face like this?"

"Mr. Lin, I'm not cursing you, I'm just telling the truth -- Mr. Lin, I want to ask, in the past six months, do you feel that your martial arts skills are declining rapidly? How many percent of your ten successful husbands were in your heyday are still left? I estimate that at most there are only one or two percent left? Is it that in the past six months, do you feel that your internal strength and physical fitness have been declining rapidly, and they are weakening rapidly?"

Lin Zhongxiang's face changed greatly, and he lost his voice and said, "You ...... How do you know?"

Although he didn't answer, saying these words was actually tantamount to acquiescing to Zhu Youxiang's statement.

He said eagerly: "Yes, yes, just like Miss Zhu said, in the past six months, I feel that my physical fitness has declined very quickly, and my skills have deteriorated very seriously - I thought I was sick, but after consulting a doctor and doing a comprehensive examination, I said that my physical functions were normal and I couldn't find any reason." I wonder if this has something to do with this strange phenomenon, and if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have to write to people everywhere for advice. ”

At this time, Lin Zhongxiang showed real eagerness, and his expression became excited-you know, he has been worried about this problem for more than half a year, Zhu Youxiang is the first person who can see his problem, how can he not be excited?

Zhu Youxiang shook his head and said directly: "Mr. Lin, you should have felt it yourself, just in the past half a year, your body has been eroded by foreign demonic qi, and your physique and functions have been greatly damaged, and your health has also been greatly affected.

To put it mildly, if you weren't a martial artist who practiced martial arts, if you weren't physically strong, your physique far exceeded that of ordinary people, and your masculinity was abundant, you should have already lost your vitality now...... Being able to live in a place where the demonic qi is so strong for half a year, you can still behave normally, I admire Mr. Lin very much, your internal strength is deep - if it weren't for that, you would not be able to resist the erosion of the demonic qi. ”

Lin Zhongxiang listened very attentively, his face full of doubts. Seizing the gap between Zhu Youxiang's words, he hurriedly asked, "Demonic energy, may I ask Miss Zhu, what is the demonic qi you are talking about?"

Zhu Youxiang shook her head, she said solemnly: "Mr. Lin, this kind of thing, you don't understand it when I tell you now." However, the people who learn martial arts are more keen, you should be able to feel it, right? In this world, something has changed...... Something incredible and unimaginable will happen one after another. ”

Lin Zhongxiang groaned slightly, but said tentatively: "For example, this monster incident that appeared in Tokyo?"

Xu Yan smiled slightly, but he understood in his heart that this Mr. Lin Zhongxiang looked very honest and peaceful and even a little wooden on the surface, but in essence, the other party's mental intelligence may not be below him - this is actually understandable, he can survive safely for half a year under the concentration of tens of thousands of degrees of demonic qi, and can use the true qi of the inner family to resist the erosion of demonic qi, which shows the depth of the opponent's skills, how can a master who can practice kung fu so deeply, how can he be a fool?

Regarding Lin Zhongxiang's question, Zhu Youxiang still didn't answer, she said lightly: "Mr. Lin, we met here today, and it can be regarded as fate. Thanks to your hospitality, I have a suggestion for you - get out of here!"

"Leaving here?" Lin Zhongxiang was stunned for a moment, he looked thoughtfully at the gloomy woods around him, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Zhu, are you saying that the weakness of my body and the regression of my internal strength have anything to do with the environment here......? Are you telling me to move and leave this house?"

Zhu Youxiang shook his head and said, "No...... I am urging you to leave Japan!" (To be continued......)
