Chapter Ninety-Four: Illusion
The four of them followed the prunella grass into it from under the plantain leaves, and they were shocked to see the clear spring.
Ruofeng pinched his face and said, "It can't be a mirage!"
Qi Zheng also naughtily pinched his other side of the face and said unceremoniously: "Do you have no common sense, there is still a mirage in the mountains?
Xia Kucao couldn't help but squat down and hold it with her hands, proving to them that it was water, she was so excited, she hadn't found water for so long, she began to suspect that she had lived in vain all these years, and now she finally found out, how could she not be happy?
Her hand was pulled back by Zixuan when she stretched out to the water, and Xia Kucao looked at Zixuan inexplicably and said, "Well, what's wrong?"
Zhao Yun looked around and said: "There is no source here, how can a clear spring appear out of thin air, it is too strange, the lack of water here is abnormal, if there is such a clear spring has already been snatched up, why is there not a small thing to drink water next to it, you must know that the survival instinct of animals is much stronger than ours." ”
Zi Xuan looked at the tree and said: "Yes, unless it comes out of the ground, it won't dry up, but this is not around the stone wall, and it doesn't make sense for water to bubble up underground, and if that's the case, how can it only be fixed in this small place without expansion, how can it be a small waterhole to be normal, and there seems to be water on this tree trunk?"
Qi Zheng hurriedly leaned over and sniffed with his hand, and said in surprise: "Ah, it's really water, could it be the legendary bread tree?" But this kind of tree can't appear here. ”
Pouted grass: "The bread tree, I seem to have heard of this kind of tree being huge, with few branches and leaves, and the top of the tree can store a lot of water, but this kind of tree is really only in legends. ”
The trunk of the tree is straight, there are no branches on the trunk, only the top of the tree is like an umbrella, and where the branches and leaves are scattered like a round cornucopia, the branches and leaves spread outward, and do not stretch upwards, which makes people wonder what is in between.
Ruofeng touched his chin and said, "If you want to know what's going on, I'll go up and take a look." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for everyone to respond, he had already flown up with a dagger, and his feet leaned against the trunk of the tree, and he stepped on the top of the tree in three or five steps.
Zhao Yun shouted anxiously below: "Third child, don't be too anxious, look at it from a distance, you can't drink that water directly." ”
Ruofeng made a knowing posture, stayed at the top, inserted the dagger into the trunk of the tree, and stood on the handle of the dagger with the help of his strength, holding the branch with both hands, ready to check the situation above, I don't know if it was the larger or too dense branches and leaves blocking his view.
Everyone saw that he abandoned the dagger and climbed directly onto the branch, almost crushing half of his body.
Qi Zheng shouted anxiously: "Third brother, what have you seen, is there water or not, you have been watching it for so long, give a response!"
As he was talking, he suddenly saw a stream of water spew from the top of the tree, and with a loud cry of the wind, he plunged into the water spray and disappeared, and the water splashed in all directions, and as the branches and leaves ticked down, splashing the four people under the tree all over their heads.
Xia Dry Grass was startled, and suddenly felt that the splashed water had a peculiar smell, pulled her hair and smelled it, and was shocked: "It's not good, it's not water, it's like some kind of slime, it stinks!"
Zixuan immediately pulled out his dagger and said, "Big brother, you go up with me to take a look, fourth, you look at the prunella!"
Zhao Yun nodded, and the two of them flew up together, Xia Kucao squatted down, and sniffed the edge of the clear spring, the flowers lost their color, and the water and the smell on her body were very stinky if they were close together.
She immediately covered her nose with her sleeve and took two steps back: "Fourth brother, this water is strange and smelly." ”
Qi Zheng immediately stopped in front of Xia Kucao with a dagger and said, "Why don't we retreat behind this banana leaf, don't get too close to this water, I see how this water is a little dizzy now!"
Xia Kucao looked at the two people who flew up, looked at the water again, and said uneasily: "It's okay, let's stay away, then don't look at it, I'm a little worried about them, I don't know what the situation is above, we are afraid that we can't see their situation when we go away, in case of emergency, you can go up to save them." ”
Qi Zheng looked up when he heard her say this, but the gaze seemed to be out of his control, and he was slowly attracted by the water again, and the smell on his body seemed to become fragrant, and there was a fluttering feeling.
Xia Kucao kept staring at Zixuan and the others, and when he saw that the two of them were already standing at the top, he shouted: "Big brother, what did you see, the third brother was not inside, did he fall in?"
Xia Kucao finished shouting, no one answered her, and suddenly found that Qi Zheng next to him was a little strange, Xia Kucao looked at him, only to see that he was looking at the spring water and his eyes widened, his eyes were frightened and seemed to be shocked, Xia Kucao was surprised, and hurriedly looked at the past There was nothing in the water, but he suddenly laughed wildly, his expression was hideous and seemed unwilling and joyful.
She suddenly remembered that she jumped off the cliff in the Wu Clan, and she did a lot of terrifying things without any consciousness, only to know afterwards, could it be an illusion again?
She immediately grabbed Qi Zheng, who was approaching the spring, and shouted in horror: "Close your eyes, what you see is an illusion, don't take it seriously." ”
But it was too late, and after saying that, Zhao Yun had already plunged into it without warning.
That Qi Zheng suddenly became as strong as an ox, and he insisted on running forward, shouting in his mouth: "It's all mine, it's all mine!" The corners of his mouth couldn't help laughing, and his eyes were radiating light.
Xia Kucao couldn't hold it anymore, she shouted again anxiously: "Zixuan, come down, help me, you can't look at it anymore, it may be an illusion!"
After finishing speaking, a behemoth suddenly fell from the tree, startling Xia Kucao, and when he looked closely, it was Zixuan who fell, he fell to the ground heavily, and sat up as if he was dizzy, and he couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south.
Xia Kucao was pulling with Qi Zheng like a fight, and she held on to the last glimmer of hope and asked for help: "Zixuan, come over and help me stop him!"
Zixuan held his head with his hand and patted and shook it, dizzy, the feeling of the world spinning, just now he almost believed it, he actually saw his deceased mother.
The mother kindly beckoned to him and said, Come, come, come, and suddenly burst into a heart-rending roar:
"You unscrupulous descendant, the future I arranged for you was wasted like this, that is the hard work of me and your grandfather for a lifetime......"
Zixuan was in pain, struggling, disgusted, hated, and annoyed all appeared in his mind, but he felt very sorry for his mother, seeing her suddenly become kind eyebrows and outstretched hands, he unconsciously wanted to walk over and hug her.
When he wanted to lift his legs, he heard a pop, and someone next to him seemed to have fallen into the water, and his mind was disturbed, and someone seemed to be calling out to him constantly, which interfered with his attention, and when he saw his mother's face suddenly turn into a pile of white bones, he was terrified, shouted no, and fell into an endless abyss as soon as he retreated.
At this time, people couldn't tell the difference, let alone what the woman was shouting.
Xia Kucao saw that he couldn't count on others, he could only rely on himself, Qi Zheng was only one step away from the spring, Xia Kucao found that he had no other actions, he just ran there, he didn't even push her, he just kept saying in his mouth: "Mine, it's all mine, no one should rob me, get rich, get rich!" Hahaha......
Xia Kucao was slightly flustered, didn't he see the gold and silver jewelry? This momentum could not be stopped, the ghost was fascinated, in desperation, he could only turn out a box in the backpack, this box contained 7749 silver needles given to her by Jian Yang, she had already memorized the acupuncture points of the human body, and pierced Qi Zheng's 100 acupoints and dumb door acupoints at the last moment.
Qi Zheng followed the needle of the prunella grass into the body, and his head suddenly swayed at high speed, like a convulsion, the prunella grass was nervous to death, this acupuncture point only said that it would make people fall to the ground unconscious, but she had never really started it, I don't know if it had any effect, but as Qi Zheng fell to the ground with a bang, the prunella grass sweated and breathed a sigh of relief, Jian Yang really didn't teach her in vain.
When she turned her head again, she saw Zixuan half-sitting on the ground looking at her in a daze, Xia Kucao hurriedly ran over and said, "Zixuan, how are you?"
Xia Kucao found that he was a little dumbfounded, his eyes were empty, his eyes were not focused, isn't this stupid, Xia Kucao opened Zixuan's eyes and looked at it, opened his mouth again, took out the needle again, nodded fiercely, and said as if he had made a lot of determination:
"Don't blame me, you will be a guinea pig for me today, don't shout if it hurts, who made you stupid, if you don't regain your senses, how can the other two be saved?"
"Ah......h
Zixuan stood up and covered his ears, and pointed at Xia Kucao angrily: "Hey, Xia Kucao, why are you pricking my ear with a needle?"
Xia Kucao saw that people even shouted out their names, and already knew that he was fine, so he got up from the ground and said very excitedly and aggrievedly: "You are all evil, Zixuan, you hurry up and find a way to save the eldest brother, the third brother!"
Zixuan reacted at this time, how did he see his mother just now, why was his mother so disappointed in him, and turned into a pile of white bones to frighten him?
After looking around, he remembered what had just happened, and then he knew that something was wrong, and he hurriedly said: "Can't you stare at the water all the time, the water is weird, and you are the only one?"
Xia Kucao nodded: "I see Qi Zheng is weird and weird, shouting that he has made a fortune, don't rob him of anything else, it's all his own, as if he has seen something valuable."
I've seen it, and there's nothing in the water, and he's always going to the spring, and I can't stop him. So I fainted him, now is not the time to talk about this, the eldest brother and the third brother have disappeared at the top of the tree, the situation is urgent, I don't know what happened to them, and I can't go up, what should I do now, can you tell me about the situation up there?"
Zixuan suddenly looked at Xia Kucao with strange eyes and said, "Don't you react to this water? You didn't see anything when Qi Zheng was fascinated?"
