Jiang Yan walked in front, Zhou Wen followed behind, moving up step by step, after passing the Xianyuan Stone, it was a long and boring climb up the mountain.

The two of them only occasionally drank some water and ate something, and basically never stopped, and even then, by the time they reached the halfway point of the mountain, it was already four days later.

In just four days, both of them lost weight several times, their eyes and cheeks were sunken, and they looked like skin and bones.

The two handsome young men now looked hunched over like little old men.

It's no wonder that they, almost every step is to use all their strength, the body consumption is too great, and they can't stop to rest and sleep, they can survive until now, it is because their physique is extraordinary, and they are replaced by an ordinary epic level, even if they are not tired to death on the road to seeking immortals, I am afraid that they will not be able to survive.

Looking up, there are still endless peaks and stone steps, looking down, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and there is nothing to see, in this ghost place where there is no sky and no earth, the reason why they know that this is the halfway up the mountain, it is because on a big stone next to it, there are three words engraved on the cliff.

"After the half-day cliff, there is still half the way up, but it is more difficult than the road in front, can you still hold on? If you can't hold on, you can rest on the platform of the half-day cliff for a day, and then turn around and go down the mountain, and you will no longer be affected by the taboo of seeking immortals. However, if you go to the platform of the half-day cliff, you can no longer continue to climb the mountain. Jiang Yan in front said.

"It's all here, why don't you go up and see, it's impossible to give up halfway, I can still hold on, keep walking." Zhou Wen said.

"After half a day of cliffs, continue to walk forward, you will see something, no matter what you see, never speak, you can't make a sound, just close your mouth and go forward, otherwise something bad will happen. Jiang Yan said again.

"Can't speak, I remember. Zhou Wen nodded slightly, but he also had some doubts in his heart.

These taboos of Qiu Xianshan are not written anywhere, Jiang Yan can know these taboos, someone must have tried them, otherwise if it is really like what Jiang Yan said, take a step back and die, Zhou Wen does not believe that Jiang Yan will not retreat without knowing it.

However, Jiang Yan didn't say, and Zhou Wen didn't ask, and continued to walk behind Jiang Yan.

The stone steps at the bottom of the mountain were very narrow, but after half a cliff, those stone steps became much wider, and it was more than enough for two or three people to walk side by side.

But now the two of them can't speak, and if they walk side by side, if they accidentally speak, it will be even worse, so the two of them still walk one after the other, and neither of them is silent, like two dumb people.

Every time Zhou Wen took a step, he felt that his legs were trembling, no matter how strong the Yuan Qi Technique and Yuan Qi Technique were in this ghost place, it was useless, using external forces to strengthen the body and strength, the strange strength would also increase, and it would still put the body in a state of limit.

As he walked, Zhou Wen's gaze inadvertently swept over the stone steps in front of him, his pupils contracted violently, and he was almost about to scream.

If Jiang Yan hadn't reminded him in advance, he would definitely have screamed, because in the stone path above, there was a corpse lying there, and the corpse's clothes and appearance were exactly the same as Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen was suspicious in his heart, but he had no way to speak, so he could only continue to walk forward, looking at the corpse on the side of the road as he walked, no matter how he looked at it, it was exactly the same as him, but the corpse fell on the stone steps, and there was no longer a little breath.

"It's definitely the same as before, it's still an illusion. Zhou Wen stopped looking at the corpse and continued to walk up.

Tired and tired, he walked for a while, turned around a mountain, and saw another corpse appear on the stone steps in front of him.

This time, I saw it more clearly, it was Zhou Wen's corpse, what made Zhou Wen feel unbearable was that it was a corpse that looked like him, there was no clothes to cover his body, his limbs were wide open, and he was nailed to the mountain wall by iron nails, and he looked extremely miserable.

"Everything is an illusion...... Everything is nothing...... I can'......t bear it" Zhou Wen secretly lowered the fire for himself in his heart, although he knew that it was just an illusion, but it was still a little annoying, the key was that the person was too similar to him, and even some of the marks and scars on his body were exactly the same.

Walking further up, Zhou Wen saw all kinds of ways to die, some were hanged, some were split in half by a knife, and all kinds of deaths were very miserable.

But this kind of thing, if you see it too much, you don't feel anything, and you can see at least hundreds or thousands of various ways to die all the way, and it's already no wonder.

After walking for another seven or eight days, when the sun rose again, the two men finally saw the top of the mountain, where there were no buildings, only a crooked-necked tree of unknown breed growing on the top of the mountain, and its branches reached out of the cliff.

On top of one of the main branches of the crooked neck tree, a large blue cocoon hangs, and if you look closely, the large cocoon does not touch the branch, but is suspended there out of thin air.

Under the neck tree next to it, there was a white beast lying down, with a snow-white body, two horns on the top of its head, and a vertical eye on its forehead, but the vertical eye was closed, which should be Bai Ze as Jiang Yan guessed.

Zhou Wen and Jiang Yan walked up to the top of the mountain, Bai Ze must have discovered them, but he ignored them completely, and still lay there to rest, not taking them to heart at all, not even looking at them.

Zhou Wen heard Jiang Yan say that the white beast would not take the initiative to attack them, which was also one of the main bases for him to judge that the white beast was Bai Ze.

Bai Ze is an auspicious and kind beast, through astronomy and geography past and future, can speak, can distinguish the heavens and ghosts, legend has it been entrusted by the Yellow Emperor, drawing out the illustrated book of tens of thousands of ghosts and gods, so that human beings can distinguish ghosts and gods, so as to seek good fortune and avoid evil, is one of the ancient evil beasts.

"Have you seen those strange corpses before?" Jiang Yan asked Zhou Wen.

"See, all the corpses look the same as me. Zhou Wen replied.

"How many are there?" Jiang Yan asked again.

"I don't remember, there are so many, I didn't count them carefully, how come there are more than a thousand. Zhou Wen paused, looked at Jiang Yan and asked, "Why are you asking this? Aren't those illusions?"

Jiang Yan looked at Zhou Wen with his eyes, and the smile on his face was very strange: "More than a thousand, then you are really amazing." ”

"What do you mean?" Zhou Wen didn't understand what Jiang Yan meant.

Jiang Yan said with a smile: "Legend has it that it is the road from mortal to immortal, that is, the process of getting out of the mortal, every corpse illusion you see is a sin you have committed, only by cutting off the sins you have committed, can you become an immortal, not be wiped out by the heavenly calamity." You saw more than a thousand corpses, which means that you have committed thousands of capital crimes. ”
