Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Boundless Cage
"Childe, Childe!"
When Xiaotang came back to his senses, it was dark in front of him. This is different from the darkness in the cave, it is a kind of complete darkness, if the cave is dark and opaque, here it is the darkness that swallows the light, there is no light.
The first thing she did was to shout out to Tianlan, and when she suddenly came to such a place, she couldn't feel the breath of other people around her, and she was immediately worried. She took out the Night Pearl on her body in a panic, but the Night Pearl seemed to have turned into a dead stone, without any light, and even she wondered if the thing in her hand was the Night Pearl. She took out the fire fold again, quickly lit it, and something strange happened, she could clearly feel the heat of the fire fold flame, but she couldn't see a trace of light.
She couldn't see anything, there was no difference between her eyes open and her eyes closed, and she was in a trance, not knowing whether she was closed or open. Standing in place in fear, she didn't dare to move, she could only keep shouting loudly, hoping for someone to respond.
"Xiaotang. Suddenly her hand was caught, and she instinctively wanted to fight back, but suddenly heard a familiar call, stopped what she was doing, and said in surprise: "Childe! is that you?"
"Hmm. Tianlan replied softly, "It's me." Don't be afraid, this is the dark spell 'Boundless Cage', and no light can penetrate it, so you can't see it for the time being. We were all separated, and the others should not be far away. ”
"Childe, can you see it?" Xiaotang was amazed, it was pitch black here, and it was not strange that Tianlan could follow the sound, but how could he accurately grasp her hand in the dark?
"Yes, if you gather your spiritual power in your eyes, you don't need light to sense the movement around you. He pondered for a moment, considering that martial artists generally do not pay attention to the application of spiritual power, Xiaotang and they may not be able to move an inch here, "Calm down, take a deep breath, eliminate distracting thoughts, and have no distractions." ”
Xiaotang has always listened to him, and after knowing that he was fine, he calmed down quickly and eliminated distracting thoughts as he said.
Tianlan nodded and continued, "Focus your mind on your eyes and imagine that you can see me and see the light. Don't be in a hurry, open your eyes slowly. "This is a simple application of spiritual power, everyone has spiritual power, but most people don't know how to apply it, and it's just wasted. Now the method he taught Xiaotang is the lowest application method, and it is also the easiest to get started, as long as he can successfully mobilize a little mental power, he can vaguely see the things around him, and the situation should be slightly better.
The application of spiritual power is not so simple, Xiaotang tried two or three times without success.
"Don't rush, take your time. If you are in a hurry, it is even more difficult to succeed. He gently shook her hand and comforted, his voice soft and soft.
Xiaotang was already about to be discouraged, but he regained his spirits when he heard the words. Feeling the warmth coming from the palm of his hand, her heart was full of energy. Isn't it just a simple luck eye, and you can't let Childe down!
During the fifth test, she opened her eyes, and there was a blur in front of her.
"I can see you!" she exclaimed happily, stroking his face with her hand to make sure it was genuine.
"Good. Tianlan smiled back and encouraged. She has a good understanding, and the application of spiritual power is one of the most difficult skills to master, and it has been used so many times to get started, which proves that her potential is still very great.
"Huh? here...... Or is it in the village?" she looked around, and although it was very vague and unrecognizable, she could vaguely make out that it was Xiaoyao Village.
"Yes and no. This spell crisscrosses the scene of the Wandering Village, expanding our perception tenfold. I can't say exactly for a while, but be careful, I guess that person and his companion should be sneaking up somewhere, don't be careless. Tianlan solemnly reminded, "Now, let's go find Ye Yi and them first, and hope they are safe." ”
The two of them walked slowly, carefully observing their surroundings. To be honest, it's really dark here, and even if you can see a vague scene with your mental power, it won't be very useful. If those two people really wanted to sneak attack, with the characteristics of dark magic, I am afraid it would be difficult to detect. In the previous light, Tianlan almost had an accident, let alone here, it must be extremely easy to kill people. Tianlan's spiritual power is profound, and he can see it more realistically here, so he walked in front, Xiaotang could only see clearly within three zhang of the surroundings, and he couldn't see it clearly if he was far away.
In Xiaotang's memory, it only took two or three minutes to walk through Xiaoyao Village, and the time for half a pillar of incense was enough for them to pass through three Xiaoyao Villages! But now, they are still in Xiaoyao Village? In the straight line, Xiaotang has already seen three village chief houses, and the directions that appear are different every time, which is really creepy!
Now she only slightly understood what Tianlan meant when she said "the scene is criss-crossed, expanding ten times in perception", it was like taking ten identical puzzle pieces and throwing them all together to shuffle the order, making it difficult to distinguish.
"There's someone up ahead...... Is it Ye Yi?" Tianlan stopped, looked at the black figure ten zhang away, and said with some uncertainty. The figure looks a lot like him, but why is the aura a little disordered?
"I'll see...... That's right!It's him!" Xiaotang rushed in front of Tianlan and looked at the vague figure in the distance. They have been together for some time, and they can recognize one or two by looking at their backs.
It's very close, just a few steps away. Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ye Yi, and said, "Ye Yi, you are here!
Tianlan felt that something was wrong, and stopped: "Wait-"
"Who is ——!" Ye Yi seemed to be stimulated by something, and he was full of excitement, and while he was frightened, he didn't look at it and turned around and slashed indiscriminately.
"Ah——!" Xiaotang only had time to let out an exclamation, and his forward body didn't have time to retreat.
"Xiaotang ——!" Tianlan was quick with his hand, hugged Xiaotang, dodged back, and tried his best to leave Ye Yi's attack range.
With a "hiss", Tianlan and Ye Yi were too close to each other, and they didn't completely avoid his sword blade. Ye Yi's sword cut a big hole in the sleeve of Tianlan's left arm, leaving a faint trace of blood.
"Whew...... Ye Yi, you are crazy, why are you attacking us!" Xiao Tang was shocked, let out a long breath, and immediately asked. She didn't expect Ye Yi to come so suddenly, if it wasn't for Tianlan's timely rescue, she might really be slashed by Ye Yi's sword.
“...... It turned out to be you. Ye Yi was in a trance, as if he had only reacted now. His face was pale, he was covered in sweat, and he was holding the iron sword so tightly that he was afraid that he would cut it at once if he made another noise.
"What's wrong?" asked Tianlan. He could see that Ye Yi's face was very bad, could it be that he was attacked?
“...... No. It's okay. Ye Yi shook his head, unwilling to talk more.
Xiao Tang was very dissatisfied, and pouted: "What! I was almost hurt by you just now! You have to apologize sincerely no matter what you say!" Immediately, she thought of something, and smiled slyly: "I know, you're afraid of the dark, right? Hmph, isn't it just a little dark? As for scaring you like this?"
Ye Yi's heart was weak for a while, his face turned red, and he defended: "That's not the case......! I...... I am...... I think some demons and monsters have come out again, and female ghosts have emerged from the ground!"
Xiaotang said angrily: "You treat me as a female ghost! Okay! Ye Yi, wait and see how I clean you up!"
"Okay Xiaotang, don't make trouble!" Tianlan dissuaded in time. The enemy here is dark and I am clear, and it is a shame that they are still in the mood to quarrel.
