Chapter 22: The Maze

Nanyang Deng County, more than 20 miles away from the west of Xiangyang City is Longzhong, where the mountains and rivers reflect each other, the woods are luxuriant, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, it is indeed a good place to live in seclusion.

If it weren't for Qi Zhen's stop-and-go and constant inquiry, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find this place.

Where there are fewer people, there will be more other animals and plants, and the extreme environment is not to be discussed, no matter which dynasty or generation, it is the same situation.

Along the way, the sound of birdsong and ape cries is endless, and the sound of insects flapping their wings echoes in everyone's ears, singing a harmonious resonance that only belongs to nature.

The carriage moved slowly along the mountain path, and after turning a col, it suddenly opened up, and the valley was uninhabited, and there was no trace of inhabitation.

When you go out of the valley, you enter the valley, and when you enter the valley, you go out of the valley, and the valley is linked, as if there is no end.

Finally, when we rounded the last col, the road ahead turned from rugged to straight, and the distant peaks were stacked on top of each other, but the scenery in front of me was like a paradise, except that those flowers were not peach blossoms, but they were more colorful than peach blossoms.

The valley is so vast that it seems that God has deliberately created a place in the mountains for human habitation.

Everyone got out of the carriage, and after Qi Zhen untied the carriage, he tied the horse to the tree on the side, and found some fresh grass on the ground by himself.

The reason why we know that this place is the retreat that everyone is looking for is not because there are people who do not know the prophet, but because the trees in this flower forest are obviously planted in a regular position on the ground.

Nature doesn't arrange trees in such an orderly way, so the only possibility is that these flowers and trees are artificially grown.

"It's a great place to get out of the dust." Liu Bei looked at the dense flowers and trees in front of him and sighed.

Qi Zhenxin said that not only is it clear and dusty, but it may also be in danger.

Liu Bei may not be able to see it, Liang Sicheng and Tang Yi may not care, but Qi Zhen has already probed his spiritual power out long before entering the first mountain pass.

This place always reminds him of the valley in Dabie Mountain, how dare he not be careful?

It turns out that there is no trace of enchantment or illusion in the valley, but after arriving here, once Qi Zhen's spiritual power tries to go deep into the flower and tree forest, it will be like a mud cow entering the sea, which is extremely difficult.

This forest is strange, but I don't know if it's an enchantment or an illusion, even if Qi Zhen opens his writing wheel eyes, he can't see the situation inside.

As the saying goes, stretching the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife.

There are already four famous sayings: Come and come, the New Year, the money is spent, how big is it......

Qi Zhen and the others instructed to be more careful, and then walked in front and slowly entered the range of the flower and tree forest.

The moment I stepped into the forest of flowers and trees, those purple and red flowers and trees suddenly began to grow in the wind, and in just a few breaths, they grew to a towering height, obscuring everyone's view of the progress and the blue sky overhead.

A strong floral fragrance fluttered on everyone's faces in the wind, but it was stronger than the most tangy perfume in the world.

Qi Zhen knew that this floral fragrance was strange, but he didn't have time to remind his teammates, of course, even if he did, it would be useless, because including him, people, always have to breathe fresh and empty

Angry.

The dizziness that should have been felt didn't come, and it seemed that the floral scent was not a drug.

Seeing the colorful flowers swaying on the branches in front of him gradually turn into a kaleidoscope of brilliant colors, Qi Zhen probably knew in her heart that this floral fragrance was probably to enhance people's illusions, but it was not to fascinate people.

He turned his head to look at the three people behind him, Tang Yi lowered his head slightly, squinted his eyes slightly, and seemed to be trying his best to adapt to the illusion in front of him, Liang Sicheng simply closed his eyes, didn't look or listen, only smelled.

Liu Bei was more miserable, staggering as if he might fall to the ground at any time.

"Close your eyes, and I'll lead the way." Qi Zhen said softly.

The three of them did as they were told, and the method was naturally the stupid method on Dabie Mountain.

This always reminds Qi Zhen of the cute scene of an eagle catching a chick when she was a child.

Liu Bei was behind Qi Zhen, Liang Sicheng was behind Liu Bei, Tang Yi dragged at the end, and the four of them held the shoulders of the people in front of them with both hands and walked forward slowly.

The speed with three people can't be too fast, but fortunately, there is nothing urgent waiting for the front here, in the final analysis, this enchantment is still testing everyone's ability to break through the illusion, not wanting to cause harm to everyone.

In Qi Zhen's writing wheel eyes, the scene in front of him was different from the other three.

The intoxicating scent of the flowers didn't seem to have any effect on him, but the flowers and trees in front of him swirled slightly, a bit like the dizziness caused by excessive drinking.

There were no towering trees in front of him, and naturally there were no flowers that were gradually becoming charming, so this fragrance of flowers had no place to bless at all, and it was natural that it did not produce any magical effect.

In order to prevent any unknown attack methods in the enchantment, Qi Zhen carefully took the three "blind men" behind him and walked forward step by step.

Then they came to a clearing.

The clearing was still surrounded by flowers and trees, as if everyone was surrounded by a group.

There is a passage between each row of flowers and trees, which is only one person wide, and there are eight such passages in total, which are distributed in all directions.

The crowd came through one of the passages.

Qi Zhen closed her writing wheels, withdrew her spiritual power to investigate the outside world, and regarded herself as an ordinary person, looking at the situation around her, although there was no feeling of dizziness in her mind, but the colorful scene in front of her was really a little dizzying.

From an ordinary point of view, the eight passages around have turned into eight dazzling gates of light at this time, and I don't know what kind of danger is hidden in the gates of light, but there is a hidden sound of dragons and tigers roaring inside, and it looks extremely evil under the rolling fog.

However, it is obviously not a big deal for Qi Zhen, who has a writing wheel eye, once his writing wheel eye is opened, all the illusions in front of him will disappear in front of him, and he will no longer have the power he used to have.

Thinking that in the Dabie Mountain, Qi Zhen's writing wheel eye has completed a magical evolution, and since then, these enchantments have been difficult to stop his progress, and in a world of alternate history, the power of illusion enchantments will always not exceed that of the Xianxia world.

The reason why he closed his eyes can only prove that Qi Zhen still has some leisure to compare the difference between the enchantment in the eyes of normal people and the enchantment in his own eyes.

Since it's not used to kill people, it's just a formation used to trap people

However, it will not let Qi Zhen pay too much attention.

Zhuge Liang is proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia, presumably these eight roads around him are the so-called eight gates of rest, injury, death, and death.

But let's not talk about the bug of writing wheel eyes.

After opening the writing wheel eye, Qi Zhen could clearly see the path when he came, and the illusions of flowers and trees that were originally surging wildly in the enchantment were not at all visible in Qi Zhen's eyes, and could not block Qi Zhen's vision into the distance.

He just needs to look at the trend in the mountains and walk into it step by step, without worrying about making a mistake, and he doesn't care that he will die if he walks through the wrong door.

It doesn't matter what kind of door you are, as long as the general direction is right, you naturally don't have to worry about going the wrong way.

This stems from his incomparable confidence in his ability to write wheels.

So when he saw the dead end in front of him and the golden armor general who appeared in front of him, he really couldn't understand why he walked into the door of death?

This golden-armored general has a scruffy beard, a bit like the tyrannical emperor played by Fa Ge in the golden armor all over the city.

When Qi Zhen and the four of them arrived here, they saw him holding the sword pillar on the ground in front of him, his eyes slightly closed, but there was a sense of oppression in his body that made it difficult to breathe.

Feeling Qi Zhen stop, the three of them were stunned, and then opened their eyes unconsciously.

Looking from the direction of General Jin Jia, a head suddenly appeared next to Qi Zhen's left shoulder, it was Liang Sicheng, and then another head appeared above his right shoulder, it was Liu Bei.

Immediately after that, a head appeared above the left shoulder again, who was it if it wasn't Yuyi?

This scene is a bit funny, like three heads of different sizes and even different genders growing around Qi Zhen's body.

Only two seconds later, Liang Sicheng and Liu Bei let out an exclamation and hid behind Qi Zhen again.

I don't know what this gold-armored general looks like in their eyes.

Only Tang Yi did not retract, but slowly stepped forward and stood side by side with Qi Zhen.

"What do you see?" Qi Zhen asked.

"Headless Horseman?" Yuyi also didn't understand.

"Dizzy?" Qi Zhen was afraid that she would be affected by the hallucination, so she asked.

"It's okay, I'm almost used to it just now." Tang Yi replied, and then asked, "How could this kind of Western stuff appear in ancient China?" ”

"If you want to talk about a guy without a head, the ancestors were in the emperor's time." Qi Zhen shook his head, remembering the Xingtian General at the end of the Immortal Sword.

"Since you can't see his head, the main attack task still has to be handed over to me, you can protect them."

Qi Zhen stretched out her thumb and pointed behind her.

Tang Yi shook the silver spear in his hand, but nodded helplessly.

Then Qi Zhen pointed to the spear in Tang Yi's hand with some embarrassment, showing a flattering expression.

"What?" Tang Yi glanced at him.

"There's a sword in the other side, so you'll have to borrow my weapon to use it." Qi Zhen said helplessly.

"Doesn't Liu Bei have a sword?" Yui asked rhetorically.

"You're longer." Qi Zhen shrugged.

"No." Tang Yi refused simply, but he didn't leave any room for Qi Zhen to turn around, seeing that this was indeed tight on his weapon treasure.
