Watching him wield his sword and cut off these messy branches in front of me, I felt a sense of comfort in my heart, I thought that he would not have a lot of strength to open the way because he had consumed too much physical strength to deal with that black shadow before, but he looked strong and powerful in front of him, not like a person without strength.

"Brother Han, what were you doing just now?" I looked at Han Sheng who was walking in front and couldn't help but ask the question in my heart.

Han Sheng paused and continued the movements in his hand, "Master Bi, do you believe in ghosts and gods?" ”

"Brother Han, you mean you saw ...... just now?" I listened to his words and couldn't help but guess.

"I'm not sure!" Han Sheng interrupted me and nodded.

I'm shocked, I'm going to go, aren't I? Could it be that Han Sheng really encountered something unclean? "But Brother Han, didn't you mean ......?" I continued.

Han Sheng turned his head to look at me, and there was a little doubt in his tone, "Originally, I just thought that someone was secretly staring at us, but when I really chased after us, I realized that it was just a black shadow." ”

"Just a dark shadow?" I couldn't help but think of the strange old man's words again.

"Not bad." Han Sheng nodded.

"And then?" I asked again.

"Later, I pounced on the black shadow with a sharp sword in my hand, but I didn't expect that the black shadow would be entangled with me, and judging by its technique, it is still a master!" Han Sheng continued to chop the messy branches in front of him and said.

"You're still fighting the shadow?"

"If not, I would have come back to Bi Gongzi a long time ago."

"Did you notice anything wrong?"

Han Sheng listened to me. After a moment's thought, "Except for that dark shadow, there's nothing wrong with the others. ”

I listened to Han Sheng's words and didn't ask any more questions, the strange old man said, these two mountains in the north and south were originally one mountain, but the two mountains only appeared because of the ghost hitting the wall, so there must be a problem with the black shadow just now, could it be that he wanted to trap us here?! I thought wildly, and I vaguely felt that something was wrong.

When I looked at Han Sheng, who was opening the way in front, I realized that something was wrong, I don't know when. Han Sheng's pace also slowed down. The sword in our hands seemed to be much heavier, and our pace was much slower than before.

"Brother Han......?" I called him softly.

"Bi Gongzi, these messy branches seem to ...... It's hard to cut. Han Sheng was also a little puzzled, and he added a little more strength in his hands.

I wasn't even more confused when I saw him with heavy hands. Looks like he's in the same state as I was now. I also faintly felt the clutter of branches under my feet hardening. There must be something strange in this mountain.

Just as I was thinking, Han Sheng suddenly whispered, "Master Bi, we seem to be ...... Back to where you were?! ”

"Back to where you are?" I listened to Han Sheng's words. I couldn't help but look up, and I really let him say right, isn't this low bush in front of me the same forest where I fell to the ground before? The strange old man is really right, there are really ghosts hitting the wall in this mountain!

"Master Bi, we must have encountered a ghost hitting the wall." Han Sheng stopped and looked around and said.

"Brother Han, what should we do now?" I looked at him and asked.

Han Sheng thought for a while, looked at me and said: "Since this is the case, it is better for us to act separately, folklore, the only way to break this ghost wall is to have the intervention of outsiders, now there are only you and me, it seems that we can only try our luck." ”

"That's ......." I nodded.

Just as I was nodding, I suddenly heard an exclamation from somewhere in the mountains, "Woohoo......!" Listening to this terrifying cry, I realized that it was already dark.

Now that it was dark, the ghost crying wolf howl in the woman's mouth should have appeared, and although I knew that it was nothing more than the work of the illusion array, I still felt a wave of fear in my heart.

In the blink of an eye, the sound of 'whooping' was endless, in addition to the howling of a wolf and a tiger, there seemed to be an indescribable whimpering sound mixed with it, the sound was really like the ghost in the ghost movie I had watched before, and there was a bit of unspeakable unwillingness in the poignant, I shrank my neck and hid behind Han Sheng.

"Bi Gongzi doesn't need to panic, this is just an illusion." Han Sheng still didn't stop the movements in his hand, and continued to wield the sword in his hand to cut through the thorns.

Listening to this burst of ghosts crying wolf howls, Han Sheng's idea of letting us act separately immediately disappeared, let alone acting separately, even now that you let me be only a few steps away from him, I don't feel safe, although I know that these voices are just from the illusion array, but I still can't help but be scared.

After slashing for a while, Han Sheng stopped the movement in his hand, turned around and looked at me helplessly, before he could speak, I already understood what he meant, he was going to give up.

As he stopped his movements, he and I couldn't help but quietly look around, this mountain is no better than other places, the sun has just set in the mountain is already pitch black, the stars above are also densely covered by the dense woods, so there is really no light around us.

"Brother Han, should we light a fire?" I listened to the ghost crying wolf howl in my ears, and thought in my heart that even if it was really a ghost wolf, then they should be afraid of fire, so I looked around and whispered to Han Sheng beside me.

"No, if we light a fire, we will be discovered." Han Sheng said in a deep voice.

I sweated and continued: "But Brother Han, didn't you say that this is an illusion array? And it's been a long time since anyone controlled it, so can't we light a fire? ”

Han Sheng listened to my words and thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll go find some dry firewood and come back." He lifted his feet and walked away.

Through the darkness, I looked at his blurred figure, and couldn't help but reach out and grab the corner of his clothes, "I'll go with you!" ”

"It's fine." Han Sheng nodded, leading me to grope my way away.

Although there was no trace of light around the body, but after a short time, Han Sheng and I still picked up a lot of dry firewood, and after putting it together, Han Sheng took out a fire fold from his arms, pulled out the thin bamboo tube covering it, and only after blowing it lightly twice, it revealed a bright fire, Han Sheng did not hesitate, and put the fire fold under the fire behind him, and in the blink of an eye, the fire was lit by us.

Reflecting the increasingly vigorous fire light shining on my and Han Sheng's faces, my heart temporarily gained some stability, at least there was fire, even if there was really a beast, I could defend it for a while.

The sound of the ghosts crying and howling around us is still the same, but Han Sheng and I have become accustomed to hearing it in this short period of time, and no one cares about it, just like that, Han Sheng and I sat around the red fire, chatting without a word.

"Bi Gongzi, I don't understand some things, I don't know if I can ask you?" The shouts reflected in the firelight looked a little more approachable, which was different from the previous coldness.

"Brother Han, you have something to ask." I said with a smile.

Han Sheng frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking about the wording, and after a while, he looked at me and asked, "Master Bi, after the palace test before, the emperor summoned the three of you, why did that Chen Bo suddenly kill the emperor?" ”

I looked at him and smiled indifferently, it seems that these ancient people also have a strong gossip heart!

"Actually, I can't answer this question, his target is not me, and I am not his accomplice, so it is impossible to guess his mind at all." I replied.

"Then Bi Gongzi thinks, is Lord Chen really unaware of Chen Bo's premeditation?" Han Sheng asked again.

"I don't know much about that!" I shook my head.

Han Sheng looked at me and continued to ask: "The emperor decreed that he would call the new champion to be the master of the horse, does Master Bi think that Lord Chen also wants to make Chen Bo the master of the horse?" ”

"This ......, what Brother Han, can we talk about something else?" I looked at Han Sheng a little depressed, and couldn't help but ask rhetorically.
