I nodded, but there were still a lot of doubts in my mind.

"But why can we breathe and talk in this sea? Could it be that this is also a fantasy? I reached out and grabbed the little fish swimming in the sea, and the little fish slipped mischievously out of my hand, and the palm of my hand itched the most real touch, "but it was all very real." ”

"I'm not sure exactly what this place is, it all looks so real, but maybe it's a masterpiece of renunciation." Qi Yan looked around and said uncertainly.

"Why did you create these illusions? I guess it's not just for fun, but if it's for defense, it's a lot of things to do in a place where this kind of bird doesn't. And that abandonment is really weird, what the hell is he trying to do. "I swam away with the little fish, and Qi Yan followed me not far away.

Qi Yan said, "There are countless secrets hidden in every place in the spirit world, especially places like the Dead Sea and the Dead Forest. When I was with the Lord, he was very keen to find treasures and secrets everywhere, but avoided the Dead Forest and the Dead Sea. Instead, it was used as a penal colony for the betrayal. But I never thought that this place had become a base for abandonment. I'm also curious about what lies beneath the Dead Sea. ”

"Didn't the Lord think of coming to the Dead Forest and the Dead Sea to have a look?" I stopped chasing the little fish and swam back to Qi Yan and asked.

"Of course he has been here, but I'm afraid that the abandonment gave him a fantasy that he least wanted to see, so the Lord did not want to step into the dead forest for half a step."

"Speaking of which, I really kind of admire that he can grasp everyone's most fatal weakness."

"You've got me in your illusion, aren't you?" Qi Yan said suddenly.

"yes, how do you know?"

"It's too easy to guess. Moreover, when you were once trapped in a dream, you called my name, and it seemed that I had misunderstood something about you, and you were very aggrieved and wanted to explain it to me. ”

"Yes, you don't believe me, and ...... with me"

"Don't worry, Yishi, no matter what happens, I will definitely be on your side."

"Where's your vision? Is it me? "I don't want to talk about this topic anymore, it irritates me.

"There are you, but there are also some other things, the Lord, and some things in life, all kinds of entanglements together." Qi Yan said lightly.

"What did I do to you in your illusion?"

Qi Yan smiled: "Really! It's said that it's an illusion, so serious, I didn't see you so attentive in class! Always look out the window! Lao Mi's review is still written less. ”

"Because there's light out there, I want to see the light."

Even now, light is still just a concept to me, and I have never really seen it. I don't want to rely on spiritual power, I want to use my own eyes to see the most real light.

Before we knew it, Qi Yan and I had come to a cave-like place, surrounded by crimson corals and enchanting aquatic plants that often wrapped around our bodies, but quickly hung down weakly. Occasionally, a few small fish stars swim by. There is no light, everything depends on spiritual vision. Indeed, as its name suggests, the Dead Sea, is lifeless and lifeless.

"What is this place?" I reached out and touched the outside of the cave, which was made of hard stones, and it was still pitch black inside, but it seemed more desolate.

"Let's go in and have a look." There was a hint of excitement in Qi Yan's tone, and I could feel that Qi Yan's emotions were very high from the beginning of this journey, perhaps the lonely spirit itself had an infinite yearning for adventure and treasure hunting. Qi Yan's time by the Lord's side may have given him too much confinement and repression, and this adventure made him feel alive.

I will be there for him, no matter where he is going or what he wants to do.

"Okay." I nodded firmly.

I followed Qi Yan cautiously into the hole. It's like a long tunnel inside, and you can't see the end at all when you look into the distance. In the deepest depths, there seemed to be a light looming. On both sides are stone walls, on which are carved characters I don't recognize, like seal scripts, but they don't seem to be Chinese characters at all. There are words, there are paintings. The composition of the picture is very strange, although it is not as crazy and weird as the abstractionists, but it is difficult to discern what is depicted and what you want to express. It's just that I feel that everything here is old and unattended for a long time.

"These should be spiritual texts." Qi Yan looked at me with a puzzled look on the stone wall and explained.

"Is it a unique text in the spirit world?"

"Yes, but since the spirits are actually from the human world, there are very few spirits who use the spiritual script, and it is like a foreign language to us. However, it made it easier for some older solitary spirits to record some unknown secrets in spiritual scripts. Qi Yan raised his head, looked at these spiritual texts, and said.

"So, you don't know each other?"

"That's nature, and although I have lived for a thousand years, I am still a young lonely soul. You know, young man, who would learn these antiques and useless things. ”

"Just say you're too lazy to learn and don't know," I shrugged, "but you should know these paintings." ”

"Strictly speaking, these are not paintings. Because every stroke here is carved out with the life of a lonely spirit. This is supposed to be a cemetery. I guess the words next to it are eulogies or the names of the deceased. ”

"No wonder it's eerie." I stare at these traces carved with life, what do they symbolize? Also, why is this a huge cemetery? Who are the dead creatures? Questions kept popping up in my head, and I didn't know where to start.

"Spiritual objects are mainly composed of three kinds of creatures, solitary spirits, spirit tamers, and other spiritual objects that have not been transformed into human beings, such as spirit trees, spirit beasts, and so on. The deaths of soul trainers are not much different from those of humans, and they are mostly buried in the human world, except for some special deaths, of course. And the death of spirit beasts and the like is completely gone, leaving no trace. But the lone spirits are different from these two, they will do their best to leave some traces after death, and these paintings that you can't read are one of the ways. Of course, there are many kinds, such as turning into a stone, such as turning into a drop of water that melts into the sea. It depends on the lonely's own choice. ”

"There is such a difference. But when you die, there is nothing, and there is no point in leaving any traces. "But at this moment, I don't want to discuss the topic of death with Qi Yan, and I'm always afraid of making a prophecy.

"Lone spirits are creatures that have died once, so they are more afraid of death than other creatures."

"Are you scared too?"

"It's not a simple emotion of fear, fear, expectation, hatred but hugging it tightly in your arms, even as armor." Qi Yan smiled, but this smile was so weak and even weak.
