Chapter 178: The Pillar of Guidance
If there is a light white fog that seems to be nothing, it is like the thickened fog array that rises and falls from time to time in the Penglai Mountains, but the fog is cold and warm here. Helian Xiaojiang could feel that his toes were soaked in the mist, warm and crispy.
The vast, boundless space is very unreal.
In the process of climbing the stairs, Helian Xiaojiang imagined what the top floor of the palace looked like, it was extravagant and splendid, it was a delicate niche style, and it was the fairy style of Penglai...... All kinds of settings are running in the brain, and none of them are like this.
How can you describe it? It's the kind of stupid stupidity that only cares about climbing the stairs, crawling and climbing, and accidentally crawling out of the palace.
A little silly, a little confused and a little surprised.
The place where he stood was certainly not a confined space, there was no ceiling, and the sky was infinitely vast above his head. There are no erected solid walls on all sides. As far as the eye can see, it is already beyond the entire area of the building.
So yes...... Traveling through another dimension without even knowing it?
Only now did Helian Xiaojiang feel that his imagination was still too conservative, his thinking was not open enough, and all his imagination was confined to the palace, but he didn't expect people to jump out of the pattern.
The white mist was like water, sinking below the knee, adding a fairy aura. And people's vision is not affected at all, and they can't see whether the floor they are stepping on is flower or white. Except for the occasional curly white mist under the feet, the most conspicuous thing is the silver-gray iron pillars, all of which look like Dinghai Divine Needles poking at the bottom of the sea, a total of ten, towering into the sky until they disappear into the clouds.
Can't see the top.
The two fairies retreated, and in a moment they melted into the pale setting, blurring their graceful silhouettes. The brightly colored clothes on his body, like flowers, quickly faded and withered in an accelerated time.
Looks like they've got it here.
The blue wolf looked ahead. The light is bright, and there is not even a shadow to be seen in the open space. With his ability to see, under such good environmental conditions, it stands to reason that he shouldn't, but no matter how much the blue wolf opens his eyes, he just can't see the scene ahead. Just guessing, I think that the front is blurred into a mess should be, probably, maybe people.
Of course, I'm not sure that is.
There is no need to worry about whether it is a mule or a horse that comes out for a walk.
In the case of unknown danger, as countless times before, the blue wolf still walked directly in front, one after the other, and distanced himself from Helian Xiaojiang a little bit. As he walked, the back of the blue wolf in front of him grew, and Helian Xiaojiang obviously felt that the other party's pace was slowing down, and the distance between the two was getting closer and closer.
When he saw the situation clearly, Helian Xiaojiang was startled and creepy.
That one by one, the dark shadows turned out to be really people. There are many people, both men and women, some old, and some young people who have just come of age and are very immature. All of them wore heavy round-necked court clothes with black gauze hats. Except for the face and hands, it is not exposed at all. Hold the wat board with your hands folded and stand straight and serious in one direction.
In a huge place, there are people with the same posture and the same expression at a glance. It looks like a row of wooden stakes. There is no end in sight, and there is no count.
Something even more terrifying happened, as the motionless wooden men in court clothes facing forward, seemed to sense that someone was coming. All the people, the whole piece of people, all in order, slowly spinning and twisting around every second. Helian Xiaojiang saw it clearly, their feet clearly did not move, and their whole bodies were straightened and motionless like electric fans, twisting at a constant speed of one hundred and eighty degrees.
A faint green light shot out of the dead fish's eyes and landed on Helian Xiaojiang's body, and suddenly the hairs around his body instantly turned upside down.
These people look blood-colored on all their complexions, and they don't look like living people in any other way, they look more like zombies, and they also look like tables, chairs, potted plants, screens and other decorations. It's just not like a living human being.
It's terrifying, it's like being on the scene of a horror movie.
Helian Xiaojiang's first reaction was to escape, but there were people in front of him, left and right. So I could only bow my head and ignore it, avoid looking at each other, and walk quickly. But these people followed the movements of the blue wolf and Helian Xiaojiang, slowly, slowly twisted around, and kept facing them with a stiff face. Just like the sunflowers, the sun that follows, of course, strips away the beauty of nature, and the rest is all weird.
Helian Xiaojiang shivered five or six times in a row, and was so frightened that he quickly sped up his pace and almost hit the back of the blue wolf in front of him.
"Hey!" she braked just in time before the tip of her nose slammed into it.
The blue wolf turned around, stretched out his arms and scooped the person into his arms, under the real "eyes of everyone". However, this kind of "public eye" made Helian Xiaojiang take the initiative to retract into the arms of the blue wolf, and raised his hand to hold the hand hanging on his shoulder tightly. In this way, the surrounding horror is barely half offset.
It was very quiet, the kind of silence that I walked on a dark uninhabited path at night, pricking up my ears and trying to find the slightest sound, human or animal, or just the sound of the wind, but there was nothing! The more I didn't find it, the more suspicious and uneasy I became.
Helian Xiaojiang was convinced: the two of them fell into a different time and space, parallel to a space outside the Kyushu continent. Or they are still on the Kyushu continent but are isolated by the enchantment. Or they entered the fairyland, the "fairyland" hanging above the Kyushu continent. That's why even though there were hundreds of people at the scene, Helian Xiaojiang could only hear the heartbeat and breathing of himself and the blue wolf.
Keep walking, walking.
It's a person, or a standing person, a person wearing a court robe with a dull gaze.
People watched in silence as the two men moved, closer and farther. Hundreds of people made no sound or moved, just stared at the two moving people with the same expression.
If Helian Xiaojiang was bold enough and curious in this regard, she couldn't help but step forward and try to poke the wooden man to see if she could give a reaction. Of course, she didn't have the guts, so she could only stay away from the blue wolf an inch.
The huge and monotonous space, with the ethereal white mist under your feet, is not divided between the southeast and the northwest. The wolf's strategy was to go in the direction of one of the pillars, which was the direction the wooden people were facing before they turned around. In this way, it must be a precise and straight walk. Didn't take the wrong path. But it's like this, but it's a very long walk.
There seems to be no end to it.
Helian Xiaojiang looked back, and those people passing by turned into vague black shadows again, and the distance they had walked had already exceeded the actual area of the first floor of this palace several times. The pillar, which serves as a guide, has been stopped not far away and not close, and there is no change.
