462, puzzle

Lingyu couldn't tell how she felt now.

It seems that the stone forest is full of ghosts, and there are invisible eyes staring at her everywhere. It was as if the trees and rocks were living creatures, and she was their focus.

The hairs on her back stood on end, and the back of her neck was cold.

This fear is not the same as being afraid of ghosts when I was a child. When I lived in Baishuiguan, I was surrounded by desolate ruins, as soon as the sun set, the surroundings were silent and silent, and the night wind blew, as if there were ghosts crying.

Actually, what a ghost is, she didn't know at that time, the ghost legends that circulated in the mortal world were all made up by mortals. The fear in the White Water view is the fear of the unknown.

And now, she is a monk who has an essential understanding of this world, and she has enough ability to deal with it. However, she suddenly encountered something that was impossible with common sense. This stems from a known fear.

Why would someone who was similar to her suddenly disappear? Does the other party have the best magic weapon, or is he proficient in the art of shadowing? Either way, someone with such a strange whereabouts is a fierce rival to her. If the other party has bad intentions, then it's trouble.

Who is this man? After the completion of the knot, is there another person who is similar to her? What secrets does Jackdaw Mountain hide, and why do so many people rush here one after another?

Lingyu's thoughts were chaotic, and it was the first time she encountered such an incredible thing, and she wanted to turn around and leave.

However, she is not the kind of person who is safe and supreme, and she doesn't want to back down when she thinks that this person is equivalent to her own cultivation and that her goals may be the same.

She is the leader of the Lotus Society. One of the top monks in Lingcang. I didn't even touch the noodles. Afraid of each other?

Lingyu took a deep breath, cast a protective sword light, and carefully walked towards the chaotic stone forest.

Entering the chaotic stone forest, the feeling of "chaos" is more profound. The orientation is chaotic, the terrain is chaotic, the distribution is chaotic, and even the seasons are chaotic. It was a bush, but a large tree suddenly grew out of it. A wild osmanthus tree is the time of fragrance. But there is frost hanging on the pines. Two places are next to each other, one with new green shoots, and the other with dead leaves.

Lingyu stood under the tree and stretched out his hand to pick it, these are all true and true, and they are not magical.

After walking around the stone forest, she couldn't tell how she felt in her heart. It seems that there is no problem at all, but it seems that there are problems everywhere.

She thought that she could probably understand why the three great families were indifferent to the vision of the Chaotic Stone Forest. This phenomenon cannot be explained. I can't find the root cause, except to ignore it. What else? If it is publicized, it will cause panic in others.

Writing down the general terrain of the Stone Forest, Lingyu turned around and walked back. Where the strange stone is, even Xu Jibo can't tell clearly, and he may have to try his luck a few more times.

The vision of the Troubled Stone Forest has already existed, and there are only a few strange things encountered, and it is not so easy to find.

As he thought so, a figure flashed in front of him.

Could it be the monk who just got it? The other party seems to be hiding his cultivation, and he can't tell the difference for a while.

"Who?" Lingyu heard a low shout, and then a sword light flew by.

In an instant, she froze there as if she had been immobilized, her eyes wide open and full of fear.

The sword light vanished before it could touch the shield of light she cast, along with the man. But she will never be mistaken, it is her own sword light!

And the low voice, the same voice as herself.

Lingyu seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, and the cold air leaked out from the depths of her heart.

She seems to ...... Met yourself!

For a while, she understood something in her head.

The reason why the Stone Forest is so strange is because it is full of the art of time.

If you paint the same place at different times into one picture scroll, and then tear these picture scrolls into pieces, and each one of them is pieced together, this is what it is now.

The Stone Forest is actually a puzzle of time, and that strange stone is really here!

Lingyu took a deep breath and pressed her excitement.

Either way, she must leave now. I've already met myself once, and if I encounter this situation again and die in my own hands, it will be funny.

Those who disappeared in the Stone Forest, will someone disappear like this?

Lingyu thought as she cautiously walked back.

Out of the chaotic stone forest, the chaotic feeling was finally gone, she breathed a sigh of relief, hid her form again, and touched the tent back.

Putting away the puppet talisman, she pulled out the moonstone lamp and thought back as she carefully drew a map under the light.

Those books are well documented, the terrain of the Troubled Stone Forest is indeed a natural maze, and the monks below the foundation do not have enough knowledge of the formation, and it is easy to get lost when they enter the Troubled Stone Forest. And the monks above the foundation will be confused by the art of time in it.

It's just that she has a question that she can't figure out. Since the Stone Forest is so dangerous, and the source cannot be found, why don't the three major families list this place as a forbidden place, and let their disciples enter and exit?

If you don't understand, Lingyu won't think about it much.

As the day dawns, breathe for a while, and it's time to go out to work.

Speaking of which, the families are really harsh, in Lingcang, this kind of work is generally equipped with spiritual weapons, which is much easier to carry, but the three major families let the loose cultivators carry and dig like mortal laborers.

Lingyu felt that the reason why this was the case was not that they were stupid, nor that they were reluctant to have a few spiritual weapons, but that they were able to control their scattered cultivation through guΓ².

When people no longer worry about survival, they tend to think about things at a higher level, such as value, dignity, and so on. In this situation, it is difficult for people to control, just like Ling Cang and Xing Luohai, no matter how strong the sect and power are, they can't cover the sky with one hand.

As for Da Mengze, the families often have the power of life and death over the scattered cultivators, and these scattered cultivators can only live tremblingly under their coercion.

Based on what she has seen recently, Da Mengze's scattered cultivation has always maintained a state. They lived a hard life, and they had to work hard to continue their cultivation, which made them have no time to think about things at a higher level. They are not without dissatisfaction, but this dissatisfaction has not yet reached the boiling temperature, and their future is bleak, but they still see hope.

Therefore, no one wants to change this state, and the biggest dream is just to leave Da Mengze.

"Get up!" The steward who oversaw the work outside shouted, "Hurry up and get out to work, don't be lazy!" ”

With his urging, the cultivators came out of their tents and rushed to Frozen Crane Pond to continue work.

Fang He yawned and said, "I haven't rested much, I'm so tired!" ”

Lingyu asked, "Didn't you start work soon after nightfall?" Have you been practicing all night? ”

Fang He looked at her strangely: "Sister Cheng, don't you have to pull out the cold?" I heard that if the cold is not removed, it will leave hidden dangers. ”

"Uh......" It turns out that she has spent the whole night to get rid of the cold, no wonder she is so tired.

Fang He didn't ask any more questions, and the two of them continued their work the day before, carrying the dug up sediment and ice cubes to the mulberry forest slope and stacking them. There, someone was specifically responsible for cleaning up.

Lingyu carefully observed those who were cleaning up, they were not cleaning up at all, but searching and rummaging.

At lunchtime, they met another acquaintance.

"Jiang Daoyou?" Fang He's face was full of surprise when he saw the new laborer.

The chubby young man with a bitter face was none other than Jiang Yuanbai, who managed the medicine field with them not long ago.

When Jiang Yuanbai saw them, he came over to greet them: "Fang Daoyou, Cheng Daoyou, why are you ......?"

Fang He was transferred to Frozen Crane Pond, he knew that Lingyu's appearance here really surprised Jiang Yuanbai. He said hesitantly: "Cheng Daoyou, you are not the ...... How did it end up here? ”

Lingyu also had a bitter face: "I accidentally angered Xuangongzi......"

Jiang Yuanbai heard her say this, and he didn't know what expression to make. Being kicked out to do hard labor seems to be sympathetic, but it seems to be a good thing that you don't have to be a furnace again.

Seeing that Jiang Yuanbai, who had always acted calmly, had a distorted expression, Lingyu smiled: "Jiang Daoyou, don't worry about me. On the bright side, I'll be free in the future. ”

Jiang Yuanbai was greatly admired: "Cheng Daoyou is so free and easy, Jiang is ashamed!" ”

"Jiang Daoyou, why did you come here?" Fang He's face was full of confusion. She first joined the Xu family, she had no roots and no foundation, it was not strange that she was sent to Frozen Hetan, Jiang Yuanbai was different, he had been in the Xu family for more than ten years, and he had a good relationship with several stewards, and he also had some net worth, so he could be bribed.

At the mention of this question, Jiang Yuanbai's face showed a bitter color again: "The mold star is shining." A senior of the family handed over a rare elixir to the steward to take care of, and accidentally went on a business trip and took me to the ......"

"Why do you ...... like this," Fang He sympathized, "Isn't the steward on good terms with you?" This obviously doesn't do your business! ”

Jiang Yuanbai said lightly: "I am always filial, and when I have nothing to do, I have a good relationship, but when something happens, of course I turn my face ruthlessly." ”

Hearing this, Fang He sighed.

After a few gossips, when the break came, the overseer shouted again.

They worked until late at night, when they were allowed to rest.

After going back, Lingyu entered Fang He's tent.

"What is this?" Fang He took a piece of fabric handed by Lingyu and asked suspiciously.

Lingyu said: "Didn't you ask me, why don't you pull out the cold?" That's because of this. This cloth will ward off the cold, and it will be much better if you make it into a glove and wear it on your body. ”

"Really?" Fang He was overjoyed, and then looked at her hesitantly, "Sister Cheng, this is very valuable, right?" ”

Lingyu smiled: "What is valuable?" There are too few things to make spiritual weapons, so it can be regarded as waste utilization. ”

Fang He said: "Don't hide it from me, I used to work in the store, how can the spirit weapon materials be cheap?" Even if it's not enough to make a spiritual weapon, you can sell a lot of spirit stones if you take it out and sell it! ”

Lingyu had no choice but to say: "This is something I got from Xuan Gongzi, I don't want to keep it, you can do a favor and take it." ”

Having said that, Fang He was not so naΓ―ve, knowing that it was Lingyu who wanted to help her. If she refuses again, her kindness will be wasted, so she said, "Then thank you Sister Cheng." (To be continued......)
