41. Reunion
The sky outside the main hall of the Su Mansion was blue, and the sunlight was faintly scattered all over the place, but only a few steps away, there was a very thick layer of white fog. The mist formed a high wall, enveloping the entire main hall and obscuring a view.
Except for Gu Ziyan, the nine disciples from the Taihua Immortal Sect had already gathered here. Originally, when Gu Ziyan disappeared, Baizhu only went back to find Mo Yong, but he was already living in a courtyard, and when Lin Chuxia and his party heard the news, they actually followed. Other people don't know, but Lin Chuxia's little eyes are clearly here to see the joke, no, she can't wait for Gu Ziyan to never come out.
A faint cold incense burned, which was a lost soul burned by Yin Li.
Seeing that incense burned little by little, Yin Li frowned and sighed: "Ghosts themselves have no entity, so most of them like to control people's minds, and in the past, I saw that the elders in the family used this incense to stabilize their souls." It's just that I don't know if the smell of the lost soul can still be transmitted in such a big fog. ”
Mo Ji stood in front of a fog, reaching out to touch a piece of cold and hard things. Mo Yong's body temperature is cold, which can make him feel cold, so you can imagine what it would be like for this ordinary person to be in it. The ice blue sword light appeared from between his fingers, slashing a gap in the invisible wall, and a cold wind emanated from the gap, making Baizhu who was standing nearby shiver.
"Wait here." After Mo Yong finished speaking, he had an extra lantern in his hand. The flame in the lantern was cyan in color, and even in the thick white fog, it could illuminate a small area of the surroundings. Carrying the lantern, he stepped into the gap that had been cut open.
The ground beneath your feet was moist, and you could see it faintly through the blue light of the lanterns, and the roadside was covered with dewy grass. The grass was waist-high, and it grew very luxuriantly, but they were all overwhelmed by the dew. The wind blew coldly, whining low.
There could not have been such a desolate trail in the Su Mansion.
Mo Yong carried the lantern in his hand and walked forward step by step, until the boundless fog in front of him finally cleared a little, and a river appeared in front of him. The river was black, and in the world it was called Guiru, and when it flowed into the end of the world, the name became Lethe. This is no longer the territory of the human world, and that part of Su Mansion was directly pulled into another world by ghosts.
Mo Yong stopped by the river, where a small boat was parked, and in the bow sat an old boatman.
The boatman looked up and looked at the intruder, dressed in white, like an immortal. Then he seemed to remember something, and his eyes suddenly became more respectful, and he tried to ask: "Tianfu Jun?" ”
Mo Yong didn't answer, just looked at the boatman lightly, and said, "Please send me across the river." ”
Tong Guò left the magic circle in the center of Gu Ziyan's eyebrows, and Mo Yu could feel that he should be somewhere on the other side. Mo Yong didn't know who this unidentified old man recognized him for, but he didn't need to figure it out at this time, as long as he could let him send him across the river.
Whether it is the water of the ruins or the water of the Lethe River, it can turn cultivation into nothing. The waters of Lethe River are even more powerful, and if you don't take the ferry on the river, only the ghosts and gods can cross it. In addition, no matter how high your cultivation is, you will definitely sink to the bottom. Mo Yong didn't know why he knew so much about Lethe. When he saw the river, a qiē had already floated in his consciousness, as if it was born engraved in the memory of his soul.
The old man was stunned for a moment, and although he was a little puzzled, he still stood up: "Please come up." ”
I got on the ferry, and the boat moved slowly to the sound of the oars paddling in the water. The fog on the river was light, and when you looked up, you could see a huge full moon high in the sky, and the moonlight shone on the opposite bank, illuminating a large field of bright and lush red flowers.
"Today's holiday, it just so happens that Emperor Tianshu is also here, are you here to find him?" The boatman seemed to row out the boredom and try to talk to Mo Ji who was standing at the bow of the boat.
"It's not." Mo Ji didn't look back, his gaze still falling on the front.
Emperor Tianshu, the head of the Big Dipper, is in charge of the Northern Immortal Domain. These are the legends that have long existed in the entire Nine Heavens Continent, and Mo Yong will not know it, but at this time, he has no heart to think about other things, and these ghost and god things are not his turn to think about it now. He just wanted to find his trapped little apprentice as soon as possible and get out of here with him.
He didn't answer, and the boatman didn't seem to dare to ask any more questions, so he let out a soft sigh and continued to row hard.
Gu Ziyan is very upset now.
He didn't know anything about how to deal with ghosts, so he finally came up with a strange way, and directly used the fierce flame of the Red Lotus to get the ghost into his system backpack. At this moment, a group of ghosts were making trouble inside, and his whole consciousness was affected, and his mind was full of terrible screams and curses. The system was originally based on the laws of the whole world, so no matter how powerful this ghost is, it can't break free.
The main hall was silent, but the fog outside had no intention of dispersing. Enduring the upset for a while, Gu Ziyan turned around and picked up the Seven Killings Monument that was broken into several pieces on the ground, and then rummaged through the package again, found some herbs and bandages and threw them to Su Qiong. said to Su Qiong: "I'll go out and find a way out, you can get the wound yourself."
When Su Qiong's hands blocked the knife just now, he was almost cut in two directly, and if he didn't deal with it, it was estimated that he would fall into a coma due to excessive blood loss later. Except for Su Chengjing and the young man, who were already dead, the other Su family members present were either stunned or stunned, and at this time, they were scattered in all corners, looking like they were all dead.
Seeing that none of the people in this could be counted on, and Su Qiong, the only one who looked a little useful, was seriously injured, Gu Ziyan could only get up silently and go out alone to find a way. He couldn't really kill the ghost, so the fog wouldn't disperse on its own, and he tried to dispel the fog directly with the Red Lotus, but it didn't work.
When I went out again this time, the fog outside seemed to have lightened a bit, but I still couldn't see the road.
Gu Ziyan had no choice but to go out on instinct, he only felt that the road under his feet was wet and slippery, and the cold mist was drilling into his neck all the time, so cold that his teeth chattered. As we walked, the fog became lighter and lighter, and a long street with bright lights appeared not far away.
What's going on? Where did he go? Did you accidentally walk outside the Su Mansion?
While thinking, Gu Ziyan walked towards the long street. When he got closer, he found that the street was not only brightly lit, but also bustling with people, with lantern stalls everywhere, it was as lively as a festival.
"Huh? How can there be a person in this? ”
Gu Ziyan was standing on the long street, and a pedestrian next to him suddenly stopped and circled around him twice. The man had a funny mask on his face, and it was interesting that not only him, but everyone on the street was wearing various masks.
Does Biluo City have this custom? Gu Ziyan was about to ask the man where this was, but the man suddenly approached him, and then reached out and took off the mask on his face - under the mask, there was nothing, just a piece of white skin.
This man has no face.
Gu Ziyan was startled and reached out to draw his sword, but found that he couldn't use any spiritual power no matter what. Staggered back two steps, just bumping into a passerby behind him, as soon as Gu Ziyan lowered his head, he saw that this person was floating, and there was nothing where it should have been his feet.
Hell this time!
Seeing that the movement here provoked more and more "pedestrians" to come around, Gu Ziyan felt that he was about to finish this time, and even his system had no response at all at this time.
Suddenly, he was pulled by the shoulder, and he was pulled directly into the crook of someone's arm. The pedestrians who had surrounded him on the inside and outside all dispersed, as if they were very afraid of the person behind him.
"Okay, don't scare him." A low and pleasant male voice came from behind him, and when the passers-by heard him say this, they all bowed their hands, and they all agreed on what to do.
Gu Ziyan turned his head, and only then did he see that a man in a pale golden robe pulled him out. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, obviously smiling, but his eyes were calm and waveless, which made people feel cold. Gu Ziyan faintly felt that the contours of this person's eyebrows and eyes were three points similar to Mo Ji.
The man looked at Gu Ziyan for a long time, suddenly squinted his eyes and pinched his face: "You were actually brought to this place, your luck is really bad." No wonder that guy didn't take off for a long time, if I were him, I wouldn't be at ease to leave so early. Shake the light, where did that guy go? ”
The eyebrows and eyes of the person who was called to shake the light were gentle, and his waist-length black hair made him even quieter, so that Gu Ziyan didn't notice him just now. Shaoguang thought for a while and said, "Tianfujun has already passed Lechuan, and it should not be far from here." ”
The man's face became a little delicate, as if he remembered something.
Instead, Shaoguang picked up a string of jade beads from his wrist, held them into Gu Ziyan's hand, and said softly: "You take this thing and keep walking towards the east." Don't care about anything you see, and don't take it if someone wants to give it to you. I should be able to see your master soon. ”
Gu Ziyan held the jade bead in his hand, and there was a clear aura from it that he had never felt before. He was about to thank the two of them, but found that the two were gone, and at the same time, they disappeared from his eyes, as well as the long street that was brightly lit just now.
He vaguely understood in his heart what kind of place this was.
Holding the jade bead tightly in his hand, Gu Ziyan walked briskly in the direction pointed by Shaoguang.
Along the way, he kept encountering strange "people" who stopped him.
Someone shouted to him: "This little brother, you are going in the wrong direction, you have to take this side to cross the bridge." ”
Someone shouted to him: "I'm tired of traveling, my mother-in-law has soup here, do you want to sit down and drink a bowl?" ”
Someone called out to him: "Big brother, can you help me go to the river and pick up my shoes?" ”
……
Gu Ziyan's back was already covered with cold sweat, and the gasping air formed into cold frost in the cold air. Obviously, there are no terrible scenes, but every word of those "people" makes people think about it carefully. This time, he knew that if he died, he really couldn't go back.
His little cultivation didn't have any effect here, the long running and cold made him feel extremely uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to stop, he could only run in that direction.
It was only at this time that he realized how much he hoped that Mo Yi would appear in front of him immediately, and how much he wanted to see that fluttering white clothes. He never doubted what Shaoguang said, because he hoped in his heart that Mo Ji would be waiting for him somewhere ahead. Even Gu Ziyan himself didn't know when he began to rely on Mo Yong, and even regarded him as the last line of defense in his heart.
If he hadn't fallen into such an unreasonable world, he probably would never have noticed.
Finally, finally.
In the long darkness, Gu Ziyan saw a soft cyan glow, and the man in white stood under the moonlight, with a pair of eyes shining with ice blue light, which were brighter than the stars in the sky. He was still standing there coldly, but in Gu Ziyan's eyes, he was warmer than anything else.
At that moment, Gu Ziyan almost rushed over and hugged Mo Yong.
