Chapter 131: Cracking the Illusion Mirror
Sitting on the stone steps in front of the Lanruo Temple, Mingxue outlines the area she has just explored with stones with sharp edges, and behind her is the main hall of the Lanruo Temple, and behind the Lanruo Temple is a mass grave, and messy tombstones can be seen everywhere.
I'm afraid this is the lair of the dryad and her female ghosts in "A Chinese Ghost Story", at night, that is the most dangerous place, but the most likely expedition team that disappeared is also there.
The question is whether this map can be used as a reference after the ruins spawn the illusion mirror! Shentai Mingxue shook her head, the possibility is very small!
Shangguan Haohui pulled the fire that rose up the stone steps with a tree branch, and as the firelight jumped, the crackling sound continued to sound. Because I don't know what will happen here, the smokeless stove and fuel in the equipment can be saved, and there are countless dead leaves and branches here anyway.
Looking back at the abandoned Lanruo Temple, Shangguan Haohui only felt that with the passage of time, the temple became more and more dim and lonely, and the grass in the courtyard that was taller than people swayed in the wind, making people feel that this was a terrible realm at first sight, and they didn't want to step into it.
Faintly visible in the main hall of the deserted temple stands tall and mighty, angry eyes, hideous face of the Vajra Bodhisattva stone statue, on both sides of the dilapidated monk's house, the door is hidden, full of holes on the window edge hung with cobwebs.
Shangguan Haohui couldn't help but ask, "What will it become at night?" ”
Shangguan Haohui was obviously asking about the murderous illusion mirror that was about to unfold at night, and what they were seeing now was the real scene of the ruins.
Yutai Mingxue looked inexplicable, "How do I know?" ”
Just when Shangguan Haohui wanted to say something. Suddenly, I felt a gust of wind coming, and a large area of grass and barren trees danced with the wind, making a sound of ropes one after another. A thin mist surrounded them, but this mist was not white in the forest, but a faint blue, and the situation became strange.
"Be careful!" Shenxue stood up suddenly, and the long whip appeared in his hand again.
Shangguan Haohui took out a military dagger, and when Shentai Mingxue told him about it, in order to prevent the magic from being invalid. He took out this dagger to defend himself, even if he couldn't kill the ghost, at least he could give himself a knife to sober up and sane.
Jingle bells!
A string of crisp voices sounded inexplicably in their ears. After listening for a long time, they could only find that the sound was not the bell they imagined.
"What is it?" Shangguan Haohui bent down and picked up a branch that was on fire and waved it in the mist, trying to dispel it.
After carefully identifying it, she searched for similar voices in her head, and frowned. "It's a bit like the sound of a woman's ornaments colliding with each other!"
Although I have not seen the real thing. But before the crossing, there were countless palace dramas on the screen, and the dazzling ancient costumes still had a certain amount of experience.
"Bang!" With a sound, the miserable white lantern hanging in front of the Lanruo Temple suddenly lit up, the blue light was like a bean, the wind blew, and the lights were fluttering. There was a faint delicate laughter, faintly fluttering in the ears. The soul is extremely seductive.
Despite his mental preparations, he didn't expect that the ruins would actually have a living and obscure ghost temple. Hearing this voice, her unrealistic age and the original image data in her mind could naturally imagine the scene inside, but ......
Thinking of the missing expedition team, looking at Shangguan Haohui, whose face beside him did not fluctuate in the slightest, and his whole body exuded vigilance, Shentai Mingxue burst out laughing.
"Huh?" Shangguan Haohui didn't understand the meaning of Shentai's smile at this time, just the laughter in his ears, and the empty deserted temple in the fog made him have to be extremely vigilant.
"Let's go see how it goes!" Shenxue motioned for Shangguan Haohui to step into the temple gate, trying to explore the place where the laughter had disappeared.
At this moment, a terrified and trembling scream suddenly sounded, and Yutai Mingxue's eyes narrowed slightly, grabbing Shangguan Haohui and jumping to the top of the temple eaves.
I saw that the mass grave behind the temple disappeared without a trace, but a three-story wooden attic appeared on the surface of the lake, the lake corridor meandered to the shore, and the upper and lower three floors of the attic were flashing lights, but the lights were not bright and dazzling, but the blue was deep and lonely, and the ghosts were building.
At this moment, the door of the attic was pushed open, and several untidy shadows came out, teasing each other's messy dresses, with spring-like eyes, and the coquettish laughter and playfulness of eating and eating all showed the beautiful love affair they had just done.
Yutai Mingxue felt bad in her heart, she originally thought that there should be illusions in the ruins, these scenes are all fictional, even if it is late, at most it is to rescue the magician who is trapped in the illusion and can't get out of the weakness, or cause some sequelae, but it should not cause the loss of human life.
But now......
The two people squatting on the eaves glanced at each other, their bodies were full of cold, but they suppressed the murderous aura to prevent them from being discovered by ghosts, after all, they had not yet figured out the details of this ruin.
Shangguan Haohui is not an idiot, although he has never experienced it when he is young, and he has not heard anything abnormal in his voice just now, but he has never eaten pork and never seen a pig run? From the images of the women and the characteristics of the ruins explained in advance by the Shadow Snow of the Stage, he already knew the content of the illusion.
The snow flashed directly at the top of the attic with space magic, and an upside-down golden hook was easily hung on the eaves, trying to see the situation in the room through the gap in the window.
Shangguan Haohui manipulated the air shield to build an air passage, and landed lightly on the platform outside the third floor of the attic, hiding sideways by the open wooden door to peek into the room.
I saw that the room was filled with green smoke, countless black shadows were dancing under the light, and the disgusting smell of blood was strong and overflowing.
In the blink of an eye, the dark shadow was gone, and a middle-aged woman wearing a green brocade dress and a long red brocade appeared in the room, with long golden fake nails on her fingers, and when she swiped her cheeks, there was still crimson blood at the corners of her mouth, and the tip of her tongue was slightly spit and licked, and her strange eyes flowed, making Shentai Mingxue and Shangguan Haohui force their hearts pounding with fear, and at the same time dodge and dodge.
It didn't seem to be anything abnormal, and this woman who was obviously full of demonic power and strength just looked around, snorted coldly and brushed away.
Wait until the building is empty. The two of them recovered from the shock, and Shentai Mingxue appeared beside Shangguan Haohui, looking at each other hesitantly. He took a step inside, cautiously searching the room back to back, illuminated by the flickering blue candlelight.
After Shangguan Haohui discovered the abnormality, he gently touched the snow with his back, "This way." ”
"Let's go!"
The two of them still maintained this back-to-back movement close to the corner of the wall, and it was not until Shangguan Haohui did not move that Yutai Mingxue turned around to take a look.
I saw a corpse lying on the cushion behind the low table by the wall, and the flesh had been drained. It was so shriveled that only a layer of skin was left wrapped around the bones, and a pair of eyes that had lost their luster were wide and wide, and the whole one was dead.
"Damn!" Shangguan Haohui viciously spat out a sentence from between his teeth. The dagger in his hand was held tightly.
Shentai Mingxue looked at the withered dried corpse thoughtfully, according to the film and television content she knew, the people who died in Lanruo Temple were all men who were in a hurry, if they were like Ning Caichen who adhered to the way of a gentleman. You may not be able to die for a while.
Of course. Unless you meet a worldly master like Yan Chixia, no matter how you struggle, you can't escape death.
Therefore, Nie Xiaoqian has a cloud: entering this Lanruo Temple is equivalent to entering the Ghost Gate, how can there be a reason for immortality.
Shentai Mingxue found the murderous aura exuded by Shangguan Haohui beside him, and smiled coldly, "What are you angry about?" ”
Shangguan Haohui turned his head sharply and glared at the Shenxue, "How can such a demonic tragedy be turned a blind eye? ”
"Take a closer look. Neither a female ghost nor a dead person is a person of our time. The sneer on the face of the Shenxue was thick with mockery. What you need to worry about is whether or not those exploration teams will indulge in illusions! ”
"What do you mean?"
"A common man's disease!"
The quarrel between the two people that was about to start was interrupted by a conversation that suddenly sounded on the lower floor of the attic, and Shentai Mingxue reached out and grabbed Shangguan Haohui's wrist and appeared outside the mountain gate of Lanruo Temple.
"Why?"
Shentai Mingxue understands Shangguan Haohui's question, but to be honest, she feels that the situation is very bad, and what makes her suspicious is that even if "A Chinese Ghost Story" is an ordinary vernacular in film and television dramas, it can't actually change what happened in ancient times.
But what sounded on the lower floor of the attic just now was a conversation between a man and a woman, the woman's voice obviously had the meaning of ancient texts, and the male voice was completely the way the world spoke.
"That man ......" Yutai Mingxue swallowed back the second half, what was the use of her saying to Shangguan Haohui? In short, you be careful not to fall into illusions. ”
Shangguan Haohui inserted the dagger into the compartment under the hidden holster on his body, and took out the pistol magic guide, since the magic can be used, he has the confidence to fight.
"Wasn't that a hallucination?"
"I guess it's a kind of video playback." Yutai Mingxue also escaped from the attic before reacting, "If it is an illusion, it should comply with the rules of illusion, you and I are both living people, and the middle-aged demon woman is angry and angry, and it is impossible to escape from under her nose." ”
"What if it's discovered?"
"Holding your breath might be good, and if magic works, using an air enchantment might work too."
Shangguan Haohui glanced at Shentai Mingxue in surprise, he didn't actually expect an answer to his question, but Shentai Mingxue knew this relic too well, so he was about to be unable to suppress the question in his heart.
Suddenly, the crisp bell rang in the ears, the thick fog rolled up with the wind, and just when the snow in front of him felt that something was blowing in front of him, the situation in front of him changed, and the deserted Lanruo Temple disappeared, but there were brilliant pavilions and pavilions.
The lanterns hang high, such as the stars in the sky, shining as if day, the sound of silk and bamboo, the sound of human voices, it seems to be singing and dancing feasting, in a trance, the aroma of wine fills the nose, and the sound of singing and dancing lingers in the ears.
Shenxue looked back at the empty side and sighed helplessly, is it true that men and women are treated differently? She can only look forward to Shangguan Haohui's festival!
Walking on the gravel path under her feet, she walked along the countless red lanterns hanging high on both sides to the attic door, where several beautiful women on the balcony were pointing at her, and it seemed that it was impossible to hide in the illusion!
Take things as they come!
Shenxue breathed a sigh of relief, holding the handle of the whip in his hand, and stepped calmly through the door, the beautiful women who swirled and danced in the skirts in the hall wantonly showed their soft figures, and it was the twenty missing exploration team members who sat on both sides to enjoy the dance, but each of them was accompanied by one or two beautiful women snuggling, all of whom were indulged in the chaotic scene of letting them drink.
Seeing this Shentai Xue was relieved, because this shows that there are no casualties at this time, as for those possible betrayals, the conspiracy has nothing to do with her, if she can crack the ruins level, it is the best, in case of an unexpected situation, she only needs to rescue the key person and it will be over, as for whether there will be a problem with the people rescued, that is Professor Yu's problem!
"Another guest?" I saw a girl in a thin turquoise skirt walking towards the snow on the platform.
"I don't know the girl's name?" Shentai Mingxue thinks that if you want to pass this copy of "A Chinese Ghost Story", it is best to find the protagonist Nie Xiaoqian first, although she has the impression that Nie Xiaoqian is either a white dress or a red dress worn when she is forcibly married, but who knows if the hallucination will be abnormal.
"Slave Xiaoxue!" The girl bowed gently, "Guest, please!" ”
Shentai Mingxue carefully looked at Xiaoxue who was leading the way in front of her, this is really outstanding, charming, more gorgeous than those female ghosts around men, but in the gorgeous, a little cold, I really don't know what the first female ghost Nie Xiaoqian, known as Lanruo Temple, looks like?
As Xiaoxue walked to the corner and sat down, Shentai Mingxue pretended to sip her wine glass, and didn't have the intention of talking to the explorer who was obsessed with the magic mirror next to her, her eyes wandered around, where did Shangguan Haohui go?
Just when the wine was in full swing, the dancers in the center of the hall were scratching their heads, and the atmosphere was slowly becoming obscene, a bewitching and gorgeous girl rushed to Xiaoxue's side, "Where is Xiaoqian?" ”
"Not yet." Xiaoxue replied in surprise, "Xiaoqing, what's wrong?" ”
Neither of them paid attention to the fact that when they heard the name Xiao Qian, they paused slightly, whispered a few words, and then searched separately.
Shentai Mingxue put down the wine glass, jumped up lightly and followed Xiaoxue quietly, the reason why she didn't follow the other one was that after that Xiaoqing left, she found that Xiaoxue's expression was extremely nervous, and finally showed a determined face, and she didn't even care about the hall and left quickly.
Shenxue followed Xiaoxue around the building, stopped in the room at the very edge of the attic, and Xiaoxue directly pushed the door open, "Xiaoqian, what did you do to make Xiaoqing look for you angrily!" ”
The three people in the room were stunned by this unexpected accident, and they all stood up subconsciously.
Xiao Xue looked at the three people in the room in horror, and scolded angrily in a low voice, "Xiao Qian, why did you get another man to hide in the room!" (To be continued.) )
