Chapter 313: Demagogy
However, it was said that the three soldiers of Lao Huangtou, Mo Ye and Yi Nanxing walked into the fork in the road in three ways, but the scene they saw was completely different. But when the three of them turned to look back, they were shrouded in fog behind them, and they didn't know where they came from......
Mo Ye did not hesitate in the slightest, and strode forward. The stone slabs beneath his feet suddenly disappeared, and the change was soft, moist soil, and some stained boots. The temperature here has risen slightly, and it is not as permeable as just now. It's just that I don't know why there is such a strange scene when this distance is only about 100 paces.
Mo Ye had already held the "Broken Star Heng" in his hand, stepped on the mud with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and slowly moved forward. The road ahead is lush and green, but it is not real, it seems to be surrounded by green mountains and green water, but it is so ethereal.
The road is overgrown with weeds, and during the occasional jump of a few flying insects, there are light birds and butterflies looming in it, which is a scene full of life.
Although Mo Ye felt strange, he didn't notice the truth of this place, so he could only suppress the throbbing in his heart and continue to walk forward. When he walked about 100 steps, a towering mountain came into view, the height of this mountain is especially "famous", and there is a kind of self-respecting momentum.
But Mo Ye did not raise his feet upward, but lowered his head and muttered for a moment, but became even more confused. You must know that a few people have traveled all the way, and everywhere they have walked is a flat river, and there has never been such a towering mountain in the distance, which is really a bit unexpected.
What's more, the scenes in these three forks are different, and the three of them are also aware of it, if they go deep into the mountains, if something goes wrong, I am afraid that there is no way out.
When Mo Ye hesitated, the sky was clear and clear here, and the originally lush trees and flowers were also shrouded in an instant, becoming strange and inexplicable. What made Mo Ye most creepy was that there seemed to be a beast in the mountain that was whispering, and the roar was not loud but long, which made him feel uneasy.
In this way, I resolutely did not dare to continue to move forward, and I was alone at this time, and I had to think about it in the long run. But the weather changed as it was, and after a short period of lightning and thunder, not a single drop of rain fell, and the dome returned to normal, much to Mono's surprise.
At this time, the soft dirt road behind him gradually became tighter, and Mo Ye turned around and stretched out his foot to step on it, and he had lost the feeling he had just now. But the road leading to the top of the mountain became clearer and clearer, like a hanging ladder, reaching to the top of the mountain.
Mo Ye was about to turn away, but he saw an elk running out of nowhere, jumping towards the straight road, looking back at Mo Ye from time to time, as if he was particularly curious about the stranger. Mono looked at the elk with interest, watching it disappear into the mist at the end of the road.
After waiting for a moment, a scream came out of it, followed by a deathly silence. Mo Ye didn't dare to stay here, so he immediately ran away. But on the road behind him, there seemed to be something chasing after him, and it was chasing after him with grinning teeth.
Mo Ye turned his head to look back between the runs, and saw a lone wolf with red eyes, grinning teeth, and a little red between his teeth and dripping ha, standing not far away looking at him. The lone wolf noticed that Mo Ye had turned back, and immediately let out a long howl and rushed towards Mo Ye.
Mo Ye could only speed up his pace and continue to run back. He is not afraid, but the things here are real and false, and he does not know whether they are true or false, and if they are really right, he does not know what means this beast will use.
Just like that, you chased after me, but Mo Ye felt more and more that something was wrong, because he only came a hundred or ten steps away, and he ran for about half an hour, and he didn't run out yet. And the beast behind him is getting closer and closer. Mo Ye could only stop and turn around, and ran towards the lone wolf.
The lone wolf was visibly anthropomorphic for a moment, and then opened its mouth even more ferociously, wanting to bite off Mono's head in one bite.
Man and wolf fight, and it is about to erupt.
Mo Ye took the lead, and the "Broken Star Heng" burst forward, hitting the lone wolf's neck. But the beast was cunning and unusual, and only slightly scratched some fur and flashed to the side, outflanking it. What surprised Mo Ye even more was that the lone wolf actually showed an anthropomorphic smile, as if mocking his ignorance.
Mo Ye felt a chill in his heart, but he didn't dare to hold it up, and then a strange thought sprouted in his mind, "Could this lone wolf be a human pretend?" Or is it deliberately used to deceive people? ”
With this thought, Mo Ye no longer feinted to try it, after leaning back to avoid the lone wolf's bite, another slid sideways and ran to the lone wolf's side, hooking the lone wolf's head with "Broken Star Heng", and the whole person was completely prostrate on the wolf's back, no matter how he struggled, he couldn't get rid of it.
The lone wolf didn't expect Mo Ye to use such a shoddy but extremely effective method, and after struggling desperately several times to no avail, he could only let out a soft wail. But how could Mo Ye move a little bit of compassion, and with a lot of effort in his hand, the blade of "Broken Star Heng" was a little closer to the lone wolf's flesh.
Just when the knife fell in his hand, the lone wolf actually spoke, "The strong man spares his life." ”
This sentence made Mo Ye stunned, but then asked viciously: "Who is the demon, making trouble here?" ”
The lone wolf knew that his fate was hanging by a thread, and he didn't dare to continue to be vague, so he hurriedly said: "The villain is a wandering Taoist from Penglai Immortal Mountain. ”
Mo Ye seemed to understand a little when he heard this, and continued to ask with a cold face: "Then this is the phantom array set up by You, the purpose of which is to lure the enemy deep and then kill him?" Do you know each other with the Fuyao Daoist and the Falling Bead Daoist? Recruit from the truth! ”
As he said this, the movements in his hands increased a little more, making the lone wolf a little breathless.
At this time, the lone wolf, whose life had been held in his hand, hurriedly continued: "Penglai Immortal Mountain purifies all living beings, and when the road is uneven, he naturally draws his sword to help. It's just that there are a lot of foolish people here, and they can only go to the food to save the good, which is the universal way. As for those two people, they can be regarded as people from Penglai Immortal Mountain, but they have not returned last night, and I am afraid that there will be more than one luck. ”
Mo Ye already knew in his heart at this time that this place was also an illusion, and he didn't know what kind of demon method this demon who claimed to be from Penglai Immortal Mountain used to disturb his mind before he strayed into this place. Mo Ye raised his hand and punched the wolf head hard, and continued to ask, "Here, how to break the game?" ”
The restrained lone wolf did not answer, but asked, "If you say it, can you let me live?" ”
Mo Ye's movements became more and more retracted, and the lone wolf did not dare to continue to delay, and said in a loud voice: "If you keep going forward from that road, you can return to the place just now." ”
Mo Ye nodded when he heard this, and he looked like he suddenly realized, and then he spit out a few words, "In this way, you can go on the road with peace of mind." With a pull, the lone wolf could only let out an exclamation, and then its head separated, and he completely lost his breath.
And not far from the three forks in the road, a person dressed as a Taoist priest suddenly vomited blood from his mouth, fell down with his head up, and did not know whether he was alive or dead.
And there were two other people beside him, sitting cross-legged like him, their eyes were closed, beads of sweat were oozing from their cheeks, and they seemed to be casting spells to fight.
And in front of these three people, there is an old Taoist with crane hair and a childish face, who is holding a peachwood sword, stepping on the gang, constantly waving, and chanting words in his mouth, "The demons of the troubled times are present, and the floating life is idle." This is a shocking stop, cutting off a line of sky. To save anyone from illness and suffering, before great merit. Penglai has no excuses, and the people are in front of you. ”
When his peachwood sword pointed forward, under the altar were densely packed with people dressed in coarse linen clothes. One by one, they bowed their heads and lowered their faces, and their mouths followed the words, and their bodies were still trembling slightly, as if they had special respect for the man on the altar, with an indescribable respect.
On the periphery, soldiers with horizontal swords stood in the middle, surrounding these ordinary people, revealing an invisible sense of oppression.
When the Taoist fell to the ground, the Taoist holding the peachwood sword suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "The demon is coming, you must pray sincerely, don't break the fate!" The people under the altar began to rise and fall again in regular fashion, worshipping toward the altar. There was obviously a trace of disdain in the eyes of those soldiers, but there were no words, only a more indifferent expression.
And the Taoist who was holding the peachwood sword, seeing this scene, pulled the corners of his mouth, turned to point directly at the second young Taoist, and said in a language that only a few of them could understand: "The left path has been destroyed, the middle and right roads cannot collapse, and they must be defended." Do you understand? ”
The two Taoists with their eyes closed nodded slightly, and their hands changed another movement, which seemed to increase their strength. At this time, Yi Nanxing, who was on the right side, obviously felt that the expressions of the people on this road had become more real, and there was no sense of nothingness when he just walked in.
And the further you go here, the more you find that there is no longer the building in the town just now, but extends to a shoal, on which there are several small boats floating, and only a few people are busy with the work in their hands, as if they are going to go out to sea to fish. These people turned a deaf ear to the sudden appearance of Yi Nanxing, and were still busy with the work in hand.
Yi Nanxing only walked to observe, and did not come forward to talk. You know, anyone who sees him like this will be shocked when they see him, and he doesn't want to cause any trouble here. Besides, this realm is definitely not the place where it was just now, in other words, this is an independent space, and if you can't leave it soon, I'm afraid there will be other variables.
Just as Yi Nanxing was about to walk towards a few small boats, a middle-aged man who looked like a boatman stopped what he was doing, got up to meet him, and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, is it from a foreign country?" ”
Yi Nanxing stopped, looked at the middle-aged man, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that there is really something strange here, such a person is either a traitor or a thief." But because of the black cloth mask, he couldn't see his expression, so he immediately hugged his fists and said: "My fellow countryman has work, what is the name here?" Are you going out fishing? ”
"Isn't it? It's coming to the flood season soon, and if it doesn't come out, I'm afraid there will be no harvest. We can only survive with our own hands in this world......" The middle-aged man said a little bitterly, and shook his head at the end, as if he was lamenting the injustice of the world.
Yi Nanxing nodded in a deep voice, and was about to leave with his fists clenched, but was stopped by the middle-aged man and said, "If you don't like it, you might as well wait with me for a trip, just lack of manpower, so it will trouble this old brother." ”
Without waiting for Yi Nanxing to refuse, the man grabbed Yi Nanxing's wrist and walked towards a small boat. Yi Nanxing obviously felt that there was a good internal strength in that person's hand, and he was clearly a practitioner. It's just that Yi Nanxing doesn't want to make trouble about it, and wants to see their next actions.
But when he followed, a few other people, who had been indifferent just a moment ago, also came up and got on other boats, as if they wanted to go out of the lake with them to fish. At this time, Yi Nanxing realized that he wanted him to die in an accident......
