Chapter 325: There is no return
With someone he knew on the way, Meng Shichen's mood was also a lot easier. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although the night lasted for a long time, she had adapted to this environment where the moon was in the sky at any time, and she chatted with Li Shangying without a match.
"Why did you come to Zizhou? Still into the rune array? She took the apple he had given her and took a bite, remembering what the old man had said - that if you stay here too long, you will not be able to go out if you are "soaked" by the sun.
This is an incomparably large rune array, and the Xuanzhi Sect is also a spirit removal rune sect, so it is impossible for such a rune array not to see the clues.
Li Shangying glanced at the moon in the sky, thought for a while, and then deliberately lowered his voice and said, "We are not in the rune array, we have already reached the new realm from the moment the sun and the moon are exchanged. ”
"New realms?" Meng Shichen stopped nibbling on apples, and his eyes fell on the old and young in front of him. They were the old man and the little boy they had just saved, and they were supporting each other into the fog.
She subconsciously glanced at the sky, and Haoyue was still there. The fog also seemed to be only sticking to the ground, only a man high, like a wall.
After a long time, just when Meng Shichen also stepped into the fog, Li Shangying's voice came, but there were only two words: "Underworld,"
The huge shock made the apple in Meng Shichen's hand almost drop, she suddenly stopped, and subconsciously glanced around and found that it was completely different from just now. There are still villages here, with ruins and broken walls, but there is no soft yellow sand.
The scenery in front of you can be described as eerie beauty, with large yellow spring flowers blooming on the ground in the middle of the ruins. It's a dreamlike flower that is exactly the same as the one that comes out of the painting.
The moon in the sky had turned blue at some point, and there was no fog around it. She subconsciously turned around, and found that it was the same strange path as the road ahead.
"I'm just like you, I'm here to find someone. My master has become a living dead for some reason, and I want to come here to retrieve his soul. Li Shangying glanced at the blue moon in the sky, and his face bloomed with a soft light that could become hope.
Meng Shichen didn't speak, she was suffering from a big problem in her heart.
At first, she thought it was a talisman used by the New Witch Gate to confuse the world, and when people walked in, they couldn't go out. Great sadness and panic will cause the soul body to be unable to settle down, and the chance of forming an undead will be greatly increased, which is a good thing for the spirit controller, and will increase their strength.
But the rune array is connected to the entrance to the underworld, so it can't be said.
The undead will enter the underworld through the entrance, and once inside, they will not be able to get out. Isn't it a failure for the new witch sect to do this? Could it be that when they set up the rune array, they didn't know that this rune array was connected to the entrance to the underworld?
So how did Li Shangying know? There is also a painting away, and he also faintly probed out that the entrance to the underworld may be here, and everyone in the Xuanzhi Gate can know that no one in the new Wumen who made such a large rune array will see it?
"I'm really looking for the undead, but he doesn't have to be in the underworld." Meng Shichen forcibly held back the panic in his heart, "Moreover, once you step into the underworld, you can't go back, you know?" ”
"I know." He was straightforward, and rubbed Meng Shichen's hair encouragingly, "Moreover, who said that the underworld is a dead end?" ”
Meng Shichen is sweating, this is a dead end? But she was in no mood to laugh, because it was likely that she really couldn't get out. "Do you have a way out?" Meng Shichen pulled his claws apart.
"No, but I believe there is no end to it. Also, I brought enough rations. Li Shangying patted the bags he had wrapped around his shoulders and waist.
Meng Shichen sighed, unwillingly forgetting to glance at the back: "No matter if we go backwards or forwards, the result will only be forward, right?" "With every step I take, there is no difference between the scenery behind me and the scenery in front of me.
It was as if the place where she stood was a line, and the scenery stretched from the front and back of the line together, with no retreat and no end.
Moreover, she also found that no matter how she walked, it seemed that she would step on this line. Li Shangying didn't look back, he pulled his burden: "Since the result is the same, there is no need to turn back." Let's go. ”
"You're so optimistic." Meng Shichen raised his eyebrows to follow, they might not be able to go back!
The scenery on the road is getting closer and closer to what it looks like in the painting, but there are still villages and ruins. Unlike before, there is no yellow sand, the fields are also showing their original faces, and the rice grows leisurely, but unfortunately the green cannot be seen in the blue moonlight.
There is no trend of decreasing the number of people around, but it has begun to increase, the old and the young have walked far away just now, and many people on the road have yellow and thin faces, and their eyes are hollow and walking forward.
"They can't see that this place is different from the Zizhou boundary just now?" Meng Shichen looked at this strange road, and he didn't have the heart to continue gnawing after eating half of the apple. It's not that I'm worried about running out of food.
The rations in her baggage are not enough to help the world, but it is not a problem to raise her alone for ten days, and the kettle is also full of water.
Li Shangying frowned and pondered for a while: "Perhaps, in their eyes, this is the scene just now." These people are ordinary people, and unlike soul-slaying people like you and me, they see hope and ......."
"What else?" Meng Shichen was dissatisfied with Li Shangying's sudden pause, and when she saw him staring straight to the side, she also followed her gaze.
At some point, a small stream appeared next to it, and its gurgling stream was crystal beating. Just now, an old man, a young man, and a few other people were lying there drinking water, and they were all very happy, but the next moment the stream suddenly disappeared.
Meng Shichen opened her lips in shock, she thought she was mistaken, and couldn't help blinking her eyes, but found that there was still no shadow of the creek there, and even the people who were drinking by the stream just now were all gone.
But the child's giggles are still in my ears.
"And the temptation." Li Shangying sighed, "You have to be careful, you can't take the things that we need very much that appear on the road in the future." If you take it, you really will never be able to get out. ”
Meng Shichen cautiously probed the kettle hanging from his waist, and it seemed that there was only this pot of water that could be drunk.
"Why didn't you stop them just now?" Only then did Meng Shichen realize that Li Shangying was actually very aware of the traps here, whether it was that he couldn't turn back, or the creek he had just discovered, he could judge what these things meant behind them.
But why didn't he warn? Don't say what "heaven cannot be revealed".
Li Shangying thought for a while and spread his hands: "It's the stream they called out by themselves, and it won't be useful for me to stop it." ”
