10. A thousand-year-old ghost (I)
In the sky-high firelight, the grim horse's belly turned to ashes in only an instant, and there was no sound, only the flames burned quietly.
Seeing the horse's belly disappear into the flames, Zhang Longqian, who was still very nervous, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and wanted to find the owner of the flame, but before she could look away, the pile of ashes in the flames actually floated upward, as if it was blown by an imperceptible wind, hovering in the flames, and then, incredibly, the ashes were piled up and combined little by little in Zhang Longqian's eyes, and slowly, they became the appearance of the horse's belly.
The flames were still there, but the horse's belly didn't seem to hurt in the slightest.
"It's just a little flame, do you think I'm going to die? It's funny, I'm a monster! ”
As he said coldly, a cold smile appeared on the horse's belly, and he threw a cold killing intent and contempt at Zhang Longqian: "Now, stupid mortal, you have to pay for everything you have done!" ”
The unexpected change made Zhang Longqian a little stunned, in a panic, she remembered the spell called "Breaking the Army" that knocked the horse's belly away before, so she wanted to clench her fist and use it again, but found that she couldn't feel the existence of her hand at all, and in shock, she realized that she was sitting on the ground and her body was weak, her body couldn't move, and her body was also a feeling of emptiness, and she couldn't lift any strength at all.
What to do?
In the midst of the shock, Zhang Longqian suddenly remembered that there were Nangong Piao and Cang Yan beside her, and she subconsciously raised her eyes to look for the two. But as far as the eye can see, there is an empty square, and the two people who are still beside them seem to have disappeared out of thin air, where is their shadow?
"How...... What's going on? ”
Her eyes widened incomprehensibly, and a loud cry from the horse's belly suddenly sounded in her ears, and then, the hideous and terrifying human face occupied Zhang Longqian's entire field of vision.
His mind shook violently, and Zhang Long opened his eyes violently.
With a slight gasp, her mind slowly cleared up.
“…… What...... It turned out to be a dream......"
Propping himself up and sitting up, feeling that his body was very normal, and there was no sense of powerlessness in his dream, Zhang Longqian breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked up and looked around, but the scene that caught her eyes made her frown.
It wasn't her room, it wasn't a middle school, or anywhere else she knew. Everywhere she looked, there was an impenetrable darkness, and there was nothing else, not even the shadows of Nangong Piao and Cang Yan.
"What's going on?"
After muttering incomprehensibly, Zhang Longqian stood up and looked around, but she still couldn't see anything, she couldn't help but be a little nervous, and subconsciously called out: "Nangong!" Cangyan! Where are you? ”
She shouted several times, but there was no echo, and all that responded to her was the boundless silence that existed with the darkness.
Standing motionless, Zhang Longqian couldn't be sure what she was standing on, and even she was almost not sure if she was really "standing". In this silent world, you can't see things, you can't tell the distance, you can't tell the direction, no matter what you want, it's exactly the same, no change.
The deep darkness seemed to swallow everything.
Faced with everything unknown, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but feel a little anxious, she frowned, thinking about various possibilities, but she couldn't find an answer, she could only muttered in a low voice as if comforting herself: "Am I still dreaming?" Could it be ...... Is this another dream? She couldn't help but sigh as she spoke, and a thought subconsciously came to her mind.
If only anyone could tell me......
"This is the 'sea of consciousness,' and it's certainly not a dream."
With a slightly funny voice suddenly sounded, Zhang Longqian was startled, she immediately looked in the direction of the sound, as far as her eyes could see, the darkness was as unshaken as before, but there, I don't know when a person appeared.
At a glance, it seems to be a young man of the same age as Zhang Longqian, he is wearing a pure white robe, his long black hair is tied casually, only a little taller than Zhang Longqian's thin figure makes his delicate appearance as delicate as a woman, the corners of his lips hook a casual arc, but he can't hide a touch of unruliness in his bones, a pair of slender eyes appear very sharp, deep eyes have a calmness that does not match his appearance, and the inside is incredibly flashing with dark cyan light, and the focus is quietly on Zhang Longqian, looked at her with interest.
A moment ago, I hoped that someone would come out, but when someone really appeared, before he could react to his ancient words, Zhang Longqian almost jumped back a few steps, and quickly widened the distance between him and him, but he didn't dare to take his eyes off the young man, she asked vigilantly, "Who are you?" ”
If it were usual, Zhang Longqian's reaction would inevitably be more stable, but now she can't do it. After all, she had only faced a monster beyond common sense before, and she had come to this incomprehensible place inexplicably, and now she was a little nervous when she saw everything.
Taking in Zhang Longqian's reaction, the young man didn't make any moves, just pursed his lips and let out a nasal voice that was almost sneering: "After using 'Breaking the Army', what do you think?" ”
The playful and lazy voice evoked Zhang Longqian's memories, she immediately noticed that this voice was the same as the voice that taught her the "Breaking the Army" spell before, and before she had time to be dissatisfied with the young man's attitude, she couldn't help but let out an "ah" and looked at him in surprise: "It's you!" ”
"Only now did I realize that she was really a dull little girl."
Even if she knew that this person was almost equivalent to her life-saving benefactor, the undisguised and arrogant voice really made Zhang Longqian unable to mention a trace of goodwill, but on the other hand, she did not perceive a trace of malice from this young man, which made her hesitate a little, not knowing whether to classify this young man as an "enemy" or a "benefactor". After a little muttering, Zhang Longqian still cautiously did not approach, but nodded at the young man like that, and said, "Although I really want to thank you solemnly, I'm sorry, I can't believe you immediately in this situation." If you really are not an enemy, then please tell me, where is this? What about the other two people I was with? ”
Hearing this, the young man raised his eyebrows, looking a little impatient: "You...... Didn't I just say that? It seems that you are not only sluggish, but also a little stupid. After a slight pause, without waiting for Zhang Longqian to react, he lazily explained: "This is the 'sea of consciousness', that is, the depths of 'your' consciousness, except for you, no one else can enter, and the two of them will naturally not be here." If you still don't believe, then hear for yourself. ”
After speaking, the young man did not say a word more, stretched the sleeves of his robe and sat down cross-legged, and at the same time shook his head and closed his eyes, as if he had settled down.
