7. The Snowfinch and Illusion (II)
Xiaoxue's chirping sound sounded in his ears, and his thoughts were called back again, Zhang Longqian immediately put aside these thoughts and ran with Xiaoxue again.
After running in one direction for a while, Xiaoxue suddenly screamed again, and the serious voice reminded Zhang Long that there was a dangerous trap in front of him, and then he stopped and turned his little head to look for it, and buried himself in a wall again.
Again, a passage hidden by false walls.
In this way, Zhang Longqian followed Xiaoxue all the way through, and he didn't know how long he had been running. Each new road is exactly the same as the one she was staying in before, it seems that there is no fork in the road that has been extended, but there are hidden passages, which become accessible in all directions under the interweaving, Zhang Longqian, who has no sense of direction, soon did not know where he was running, only knew that he was moving forward.
The strange thing is that no matter how many new passages she enters, the sound of water droplets coming from nowhere has never stopped, and it has been ringing in her ears regularly, which means that Nangong Piao and Cang Yan, who are out of nowhere, are likely to be affected by the magic disguised as the sound of water droplets.
However, Zhang Longqian was very sure that at least Cang Yan would never be hit.
But when she followed Xiaoxue around a corner, she couldn't help but be a little stunned when she looked at the person who fell to the ground just in the light of the mobile phone.
“…… Cangyan? ”
What's going on? Why did he fall here?
Before she had time to think about it, Zhang Longqian's first reaction was that Cang Yan was disturbed by the demon magic disguised as the sound of water droplets like her, and she immediately ran to Cang Yan's side and knelt down beside him.
"Cang Yan? Cangyan? Wake up, Cangyan! ”
But no matter how she called, Cang Yan didn't react, his upper body was barely leaning on the earthen wall of the corridor, his head was lowered, his eyes were closed, his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was encountering something bad, his already fair and delicate face looked a little pale at the moment.
"Xiaoxue, obviously you just woke up after you called me, why can't Cang Yan? Isn't it...... Too late? ”
Looking at Zhang Longqian's worried eyes, Xiaoxue flew around Cang Yan twice, and then nodded lightly.
This made Zhang Longqian can't help but "chuckle" in her heart, she slowly stretched out her finger to probe Cang Yan's snort, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it seems that I just lost consciousness...... Thinking of her miserable situation at that time, she shook her head again and denied herself, "No, it seems that ...... The spirit has broken down to the limit, so the self-protection is closed? How can I wake him up......"
Looking at Zhang Long's subconscious gaze of asking for help, Xiao Xue, who stopped on the ground next to Cang Yan, could only tilt her head, looking unthinkable.
Sighing, Zhang Longqian could only think of shouting again, so he stretched out his hand towards Cang Yan.
"Cangyan ......"
As soon as her fingers touched Cang Yan's arm, and before Zhang Longqian's words were finished, she felt a flower in front of her, and the surroundings had completely changed.
The phone's light was completely gone, and the earthy smell that had been lingering in his nose was gone, replaced by a dry woody smell, and the surroundings became a dark, dry room like the corridor.
Yes, although there were no lights, Zhang Longqian could barely see a few wooden pillars, which felt like the hall of an old-fashioned wooden house.
didn't understand why he suddenly came to this strange place, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but shake his head, and then found that Xiaoxue and Cangyan were gone.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Longqian immediately became vigilant, she got up and looked around carefully, but saw a vague figure in one direction, a small figure standing there.
Child?
Stunned for a moment, after a little hesitation, Zhang Longqian cautiously moved forward slightly, and then saw that it was a boy wearing clothes similar to Taoist robes, because he was facing away from her, he couldn't see his appearance, but his body seemed to be a little thin, and he looked like he was about seven or eight years old.
How can there be a child here?
Zhang Longqian looked up at the darkness suspiciously, and immediately felt that there seemed to be someone in front of him, and it was not a friendly atmosphere. Subconsciously, although she was far away, she quietly hid behind a pillar, and only after making sure that no one was found did she slowly poke her head out and look over there. Looking past the child, she finally made out a vague figure sitting in a chair in front of her.
This scene inexplicably carried a hint of familiarity, and Zhang Longqian couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Before she could come up with anything, the man sitting in the chair spoke, his voice old and majestic, but there was a hint of imperceptible coldness in his dry voice.
"You can get out of here now."
The indifferent tone recounted the facts of course, but Zhang Longqian clearly felt that the boy's body trembled when he heard these words, but then, he also gave an indifferent answer.
"I see."
With that, the boy saluted, turned and took a few steps to open the door.
Intense light poured into the dark hall, looking at the drop of liquid that slipped off the boy's face, Zhang Longqian finally realized where the familiarity came from, and couldn't help but be stunned.
This is...... That dream of mine?
Seeing that the boy was about to walk out of the hall, Zhang Longqian hurriedly followed, but he didn't leave before the door closed, she couldn't stop for a while, she thought she would crash into the door and alarm the people in the room, but to her surprise, she went out without touching anything.
"Huh?"
couldn't help but let out a surprised sound, Zhang Longqian immediately covered his mouth, but found that the boy in front of him didn't pay attention to her, as if he didn't hear her voice at all.
The sound made by no one could be heard, and he could not touch anything, and this familiar feeling made Zhang Longqian think of something.
Magic.
Have you fallen into illusion?
Outside the hall was the empty corridor where the boy had passed in his dream, and there was still no one else. Walking behind the boy, Zhang Longqian remembered the pain in her chest when she just woke up from her dream in the morning, and she wanted to walk forward quickly to see the child's face several times, but no matter how she sped up, she was still two steps behind the boy, unable to get close.
It was as if something was holding her back.
This made Zhang Longqian puzzled and couldn't help but feel a little distressed at the same time, remembering that Cang Yan was still unconscious and fell in the corridor, and Xiaoxue, the only one by his side, didn't seem to have any fighting ability, so she wanted to leave here quickly, but no matter which direction she moved, she still followed the boy, couldn't get close, but couldn't leave.
"What the hell......"
The boy continued to walk forward mechanically, not even noticing a woman trotting towards him, until the woman crouched in front of him and grabbed him by the shoulder, and he stopped.
It was only at this time that Zhang Longqian was able to move his position, but he could not leave the empty corridor, but could only walk towards the boy. Seeing this, she could only sigh in resignation, and came to the boy, but her eyes widened when she saw the boy's frosty face.
"How...... This kid ......"
The delicate-looking woman looked at the waves on the boy's face and looked concerned: "Are you okay?" Xiao Yan? ”
"This kid ...... Is it Cangyan?! ”
Looking at the little boy who was seven or eight points similar to the current Cang Yan, Zhang Longqian's eyes were full of surprise.
"What's going on? I...... In his 'past'?! ”
