Chapter 36: A Dream Like a Dream (Part II)
As he spoke, even a layer of black gas rose around the candle.
He straightened up, stood up, his eyes showed a fierce light, his face was full of violence, and he forced all the leaves in his body out of the wound, and shadows began to appear behind him, at first one or two, and slowly more and more.
"You're summoning the wraiths of the Sunken Forest?" Shu Kui finally saw what it was.
Lian Candle laughed: "Resentment is a very powerful force, and it is really stupid for you to watch them wander in the Sinking Forest and not use them." ”
"Resentment is highly poisonous, and if you don't explain it, you use it for your own use, aren't you afraid of being counterattacked?" Shu Kui has seen such an example.
Lian Zhu still smiled: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the more poisonous, the better, let me kill all the sanctimonious people, punish the gods and kill the Buddha, and dominate the world." ”
As he spoke, the black qi condensed sharply in his right hand, sucking all the shadows behind him, turning into a short staff more than a meter long, with a purple-black crystal inlaid on the head of the staff, and the black air swirling in the crystal.
"I don't know how to use resentful spirits, when the spirit soldiers are in your hands, they are like scrap copper and rotten iron, it's a pity, it's a pity." Lian Candle made a circle in front of him with a short staff.
In an instant, thin sand fell from the sky, and in just a few seconds, it gathered into a huge scorpion, and pounced towards Shu Kui with its teeth and claws.
Shu Kui was frightened but not flustered, jumped into the air, grabbed a wooden crossbow with his hand into the void, and swished three arrows, shooting at the scorpion's two large claws and the eyes in the center of his back.
Who knows, the scorpion claw swung continuously, and gently and skillfully swept away the wooden arrow that was like a bamboo.
Lian Zhu didn't speak next to him, but just laughed to himself, like proud, and like laughing at the opponent's poor performance.
Shu Kui was really careless, thinking that the scorpion was just condensed by earth-based spells, and it could be completely restrained with the power of Aoki, but he didn't want to use the attack of Sancheng strength, and when it came to the enemy, it was not worth mentioning at all.
She calmed down, hid the crossbow, and made a handprint with both hands, and after a while, she saw countless young shoots burrowing out from the cracks in the stones, and quickly grew into a cluster of thorns more than two meters high, surrounding the candles and scorpions in it.
The scorpion didn't dare to move, but Lian Candle didn't think so, and waved his short staff again, inviting gusts of wind to try to cut off the thorns.
"I admit that your ability to control the land is not weak, but the rest is mediocre." Shu Kui watched the strong wind pass through the thorns again and again in vain, "I know, you used the blinding method to coax the Jade Elder to use the fire qilin, which gave birth to and strengthened the power of your loess, so as to win, but now, these iron and wood thorns, relying on your three-legged cat's wind blade, can't be broken no matter what." ”
Lian Candle raised his eyebrows, a little unconvinced, and couldn't help but strengthen his strength.
All around, the wind became stronger and stronger, the trajectory of air flow was clearly visible, and the crescent-shaped white wind blades continued to hit the thorn bushes, either bounced away or absorbed, like mud cows entering the sea, and there was no trace.
Seeing this scene, Lian Candle was in a hurry, and the short staff was frequented everywhere.
Suddenly, in the main hall, the fire that had been so dim that it was about to be extinguished was lit up again, burning fiercely, spreading out, forming a wall of fire on the periphery of the thorn bushes.
The fire, brought by the fire unicorn of Elder Jade, is extremely high and not easy to extinguish.
For the scorpion, the flame was the best help, and it was seen to come alive again in the scorching, shaking its tail spines up and down, raising its claws, and tentatively reaching for the thorns.
Even Candle was quite comfortable in such a high temperature, and regained his previous smile, chanting a spell, turning the short staff into a stone axe, and together with the scorpion, tried to cut the thorns again.
Shu Kui was busy summoning the water, trying to stabilize the foundation of the thorn bush at the same time, but also wanted to extinguish the fire, but the wood helped the fire, the more it burned, the more it burned, half of the water had been vaporized before it was close, and the other half did not have a big effect although it was not in the soil.
In the dense water vapor, the thorns were cut off, burned and burned, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Lian Candle came out, his face was full of color, urging the scorpion to continue to attack, and the move was fast and ruthless, pointing to the point.
Shu Kui has been asleep for several days, his body has not yet recovered, he used to rely on the idea of avenging Elder Yu, he wanted to defeat Lian Zhu in one go, and he didn't want the short staff in Lian Candle's hand to be quite powerful, and he was able to play seven or eight points of spells to twelve points, not to mention that he was almost defeated, and now he has to deal with one person and one scorpion, he really feels powerless, and between jumping and dodging, his movements gradually slow down.
It didn't take long for her to be out of breath and sweating.
"What a god, what an immortal, it's just that." Lian Candle was even more proud, and the short stick in his hand kept waving.
At that time, Shu Kui had just dodged an attack from a scorpion and fell to the ground, only to feel a weakness under his feet.
"This is quicksand formed by the hatred power of the resentful spirit, go in, go in and see, what you hate the most." Lian Zhu stepped on the back of the scorpion and floated in the air, "But be careful, they believe that if they eat a piece of meat from an immortal, they can get out of the sea of suffering and be reincarnated as a human." ”
Shu Kui looked down and saw that the ground of the entire hall had turned into sand, his feet had fallen into it, and his whole body was still going down.
A face emerged from the sand, with a sad expression, and opened its mouth to bite Shu Kui's leg.
Immediately afterwards, more and more faces appeared, all with the same expressions and the same movements.
Shu Kui endured the piercing pain in his heart, and spread out his right hand: "The bitter sea has no shore and no bounds, laughing at mortals making their own cocoons, no greed, no hatred and no stupidity, cleansing the demons and attracting the red lotus." ”
As these words rang out one by one, a golden light appeared in the palm of her right hand, like the sun, shining everywhere.
A terrible scream sounded in the quicksand, and one after another black shadows escaped as if they were rushing out, entering the crystal at the top of the short staff, and there was no more sound.
Subsequently, the quicksand returned to normal.
At this moment, Shu Kui was holding a golden triangular vajra, which was more than a foot long, with a sharp tip and a sharp edge.
Lian Zhu had never seen this vajra sling, and when he saw that it dispelled the resentful spirits in an instant, he already had some jealousy in his heart, but he still had to sneer calmly: "You are an immortal, how can you read the Buddha?" ”
Shu Kui didn't make a sound, changed the vajra to his left hand, and made a bow and arrow.
Even the candle "hummed", and he wanted to make fun of it, but he didn't want to see that between Shu Kui's hands, the golden light reappeared, turning into a bow and arrow, facing him.
He was startled, didn't dare to hold it up, blocked the short staff in front of him, and summoned the air shield.
Shu Kui gently pulled the corners of his mouth, changed direction slightly, and as soon as his right hand was released, the golden light arrow flew straight away with a scream, piercing through the scorpion's body and exploding.
There was a bright light in front of Lian Candle's eyes, and his eyes were immediately blind, and his feet were empty.
He panicked, regardless of whether he would be attacked again or not, he hurriedly tore open the air shield, covered his whole body, and after falling to the ground, he closed his eyes and held his breath to concentrate, wanting to feel where Shu Kui was or her movements.
Shu Kui stood still and set up the golden light arrow again.
However, just as she was about to launch, she suddenly felt a palpitation and an unbearable pain in her chest.
"Sister Fairy, are you alright?" Lian Zhu had recovered a little eyesight, and vaguely saw that Shu Kui had a posture but no action, and his heart moved.
Shu Kui gritted his teeth, knowing that the opportunity was fleeting, so he forcibly pushed the stagnant spiritual power in his body and shot another arrow.
After that, somehow, she actually closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she saw the scenery in the mountains and forests in front of her, but this time, it was dawn.
"Dreaming again? What the hell......" Shu Kui muttered and got up.
"That...... What the...... Greed and hatred, the sea of bitterness is endless. She tried to recall the spell, but it was so plausible that she couldn't remember everything.
"Okay, then...... Windy, rainy, what, scattered leaves. She gestured again, trying to recreate the scene in her dream.
Of course, there was a lot of calm in all directions, nothing happened.
Shu Kui shrugged his shoulders and secretly scolded himself for being such a fool, how could a highly educated modern person call for wind and rain out of thin air.
However, when I think about it again, the qiē in the dream is terrifyingly real, as if it had been experienced, deeply rooted in the memory.
At this point, the things she tried not to think about jumped into her mind again.
After being restrained by Brother Qi, how could he suddenly be able to move again? Why does the illusion suddenly disappear when I encounter a large mouse in the cave? Why are the rats afraid of her blood? What's the deal with the wind that drives away the rats? Could it be that I have come to this abnormal place, and I have become abnormal?
She looked up and sighed, hoping that God would send a god down to earth to explain all the qiē for her, or, send her home directly.
And apparently, this is impossible.
"Forget it, don't think about it." She patted her face hard, and suddenly realized that the stick she had been holding in her hand was gone.
If you don't see it, you don't see it. She thought, having no intention of looking for it, and planned to go back to the campfire first.
However, when I came, I followed the point of light, and I was dazed, and I didn't remember the way at all, and now I want to go back, and everywhere looks the same, there is no reference, and I don't know the direction at all.
Shu Kui still sighed, knowing very well that he was lost again, so he had to go as usual, go casually, and resign himself to fate.
This time, not long after the departure, there were more and more gray rabbits bouncing at their feet, as if they were all rushing somewhere.
Shu Kui thought about it for a while, and thought that the place where the rabbit was going should at least be free of large beasts, and it was okay to go and have a look.
So, she followed the gray rabbit all the way, and walked for a long time before she came to a mountain col.
"Wow......" She was completely stunned when she looked at it.
It is a large clearing, surrounded by large trees, and it is difficult to spot when walking from the forest.
It's afternoon, and the sun is shining everywhere in the place, and the ground is full of flowers. A mountain stream comes from deep in the mountains and forms a small pond on the side of the mountain wall, the water is crystal clear, and small fish as thin as fingers swim in it.
And a large area of low bushes by the pond is the destination of the gray rabbits.
