Chapter 679: Illusion

What kind of world is this place?

Song Jianqiu and the three of them first circled around the gate that seemed to have failed, no matter how they wore it, it had no effect.

So the three of them left where they were and headed for the forest in the distance.

The grass grows and the warbler flies, and the breeze gusts.

The three of them walked through the knee-high grass, and the forest in the distance was getting closer.

However, the more this was the case, the more uneasiness rose in Song Jianqiu's heart.

Standing outside, she could see the bright light and dappled sunlight in the forest, but for some reason, it always gave her a cold feeling, as if this forest was a giant mouth, and they were actively moving towards this giant mouth.

As she was walking, she suddenly felt a slight pain in her feet, as if she had been cut by a leaf, but it was this pain that made her suddenly startled, suddenly stopped, and said, "No! ”

"Huh?" Xiaoyao Immortal and Zhou Qingli stopped their pace almost at the same time.

The two of them looked around, and everything was calm, and there was nothing to be wary of.

But in fact, how could it be so safe inside the gate of the underworld? It's too quiet, and it's even more unusual.

"I think it's a little weird, too."

Xiaoyao Xian frowned, she snapped her fingers, and a flame ignited the dead grass on the ground, and the fire grew quickly, but it was also extinguished quickly, almost like a flame that suddenly became violent, and then extinguished at once.

Zhou Qingli summoned the Immortal Flawed Sword and gently cut towards the surrounding grass, cutting off a large area of grass.

Before the grass hit the ground, it was carried up by the wind, and when some flew into the distance, they slashed over the three of them, and they all felt a pain of being cut by a knife.

"Hehe, I kind of understand this." Xiaoyao Xian chuckled, "It's such a real world, even I was almost fooled." However, it is still a little anxious after all, as if it wants to eat us in a hurry? ”

Song Jianqiu did not speak, and activated the sixth, seventh, and eighth methods of seeing the Buddha's ten methods, which are the method of careful hearing, the method of listening to truth, and the method of perception.

Smell carefully to distinguish the smell, only to feel that the original fragrance of flowers has become fishy and disgusting in an instant.

Listen to the Fa to distinguish the truth from the false, break the falsehood, and listen to the rumor, which is not a rumor at all, but countless unjust ghosts wailing and screaming; The branches shook and the leaves rattled and became terrifying.

Finally, there is the eighth method of perception, this method can perceive the rhythm of heaven and earth, at this time, in this place, after blocking those terrifying sounds on the surface, the real movement, but can only hear a dead silence.

This dead silence is filled with the smell of death.

All this made Song Jianqiu's neck feel cold, it turned out that they had fallen into a huge illusion unconsciously, but this illusion was so real, what would be the rabbit they caught at the beginning?

There was no time to say more, Song Jianqiu's whole body Buddha light appeared, twenty-seven Buddha fruit Buddha beads wrapped around his hand, the immeasurable Buddha light seemed to dispel the darkness, and all the colors around him faded.

I saw that the sky turned pale, the light became dim, and the forest in the distance turned red. Naked, with limbs stretched, corpses half-buried in the ground.

The faces of the corpses were twisted and hideous, and many dry and forked branches grew from their hands and bodies, looking like trees.

"Corpse Tree!" Seeing these dead corpses, Xiaoyao Xian couldn't help but exclaim.

Looking down again, where are the lush grasses that used to grow on the ground? It's just an arm sticking out of the ground.

These arms, long and short, thick and thin, dry and strong, smooth and rough, can be identified by these superficial features alone, and the presence of men, women, and children is recognizable from these superficial features.

They are like living creatures, constantly swinging, and this is the truth of the weeds that used to be low when they were blown by the wind.

The three of them were standing in such a bush of human hands at this time, and the surrounding arms grabbed the feet of the three people, as if they wanted to keep them, but the strength of these arms was not great, as long as they moved their legs, they could easily break free.

Obviously, that's what the grass felt like when they caressed their legs.

All the good things that were before have now become the most real ugliness.

In addition to Song Jianqiu and the three of them, there were also many people around who fell into it, as if they were sleepwalking, swimming around in the surrounding grass, but it was amazing that so many people were huddled together, but they were able to avoid each other perfectly.

Some people also set their sights on the forest and headed towards the forest, however, as soon as they got closer, some vines fell from the branches and plunged into the souls of these people.

Then, as if extracting, the soul body quickly faded down, and the more you went inside, the thinner the soul body became, and after a few steps, the whole person was scattered and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this scene, Song Jianqiu and Zhou Qingli couldn't help but shudder, fortunately they didn't go into the forest just now, otherwise even if they found out the truth, I am afraid it would be difficult to escape.

Although the countless hands that grew in the ground around them were not too threatening, standing in them was really unpeaceful, so the three of them floated up, hovering in mid-air, looking around.

The mountains are still those mountains, still rolling mountains, and there is no edge in sight.

But these mountains have obviously become gloomy, and from a distance, it seems that white smoke and steam have risen from the mountains.

"Sister Yao, those dead man's trees are called human corpse trees?" Song Jianqiu still remembered the exclamation when Xiaoyao Immortal saw the forest before.

"Yes!" Xiaoyao Immortal nodded and said, "These corpse trees are dangerous, but the branches that grow from them are good things. This kind of thing is rare to see in the underworld, and it usually only appears like two or three trees, but I didn't expect it to appear in patches here. ”

Not only does it appear in pieces, but it is also all over the mountains and fields, and it is impossible to count them.

"There are so many corpses in the tree, and someone only came in today, maybe there will be corpses?" Xiaoyaoxian's heart moved, and said, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

After speaking, she took the lead in sitting on her red gourd and flew over, and Song Jianqiu and Zhou Qingli could only follow.

Flying is not difficult for cultivators, you can use props, or use horcruxes, or directly consume soul power to fly, it is all possible.

This is not the same as the streamer, only the difference is that some consume a lot and some consume a lot, and the speed and flexibility of the flight are also related.

The three of them flew slowly over the forest, looking down for the so-called human corpse fruit, however, there were many unexpected things here, and it didn't take long for the three of them to find it.

"Isn't that the one?" Song Jianqiu saw two or three fist-sized bright red fruits growing on the branches.

They also vary in color, some are bright red, some are dark red, and some are red translucent, which should be different degrees of ripeness.

"This is it." Xiaoyaoxian's eyes lit up: "This is a good thing!" Quick pick. ”

After saying that, he threw a rope from his hand and rolled it towards the fruits, but as soon as the rope approached, there would be vines wrapped around the corpse tree, obviously not allowing people to easily pick the fruits from their bodies.

However, this resistance was useless, and as soon as the vine touched the rope, it immediately burst into flames, and it was soon completely gone.

The speed of the rope was very fast, and by the time the other vines reacted, it had already rolled lightly and wrapped the human corpse fruit.

"Come, little sister, put it away, and we'll divide it when we get out." Xiaoyao Xian knew that Song Jianqiu's shawl was a space that could collect a lot of things, so after the fruit was picked back, he immediately gave it to the latter and asked her to collect it.

"Hmm!" Song Jianqiu nodded, and also threw out the Jinxia shawl to pick the corpse fruit.

Compared with the ropes thrown by Xiaoyao Xian, these corpse trees still dare to resist, Song Jianqiu's shawl, these corpse trees can't avoid it, and even when Jinxia Shawl picks fruits, the human corpse tree begins to bend down to dodge.

"There are a lot of corpses and fruits here, we don't want those that are not very ripe, we specially pick those red translucent, this is the most ripe."

Seeing that there must be countless human corpses in this forest, Xiaoyao Immortal can also pick and choose.

"Okay." When Song Jianqiu heard this, he picked them according to his words, and specially searched for those long translucent fruits, but even so, there were countless such fruits, which made the two of them very happy.

It's Zhou Qingli, he can't pick the fruit without getting close, he can only watch from the sidelines.

The three of them picked while walking, and after picking for a while, there were more than 300 mature human corpse fruits, and Xiaoyao Xian stopped unsatisfied, otherwise this forest of human corpse trees, I really don't know what year and month I have to pick before I can finish picking them.

"Let's go look elsewhere."

The three of them flew slowly, occasionally seeing others picking fruit over the forest of corpse trees, and it was clear that not all of them had fallen into that illusion and could not escape, but some were able to break free.

It's just that if they want to get out, it is definitely not as easy and simple as Song Jianqiu, and they can break the vanity with the Buddha's light alone.

Soon, the three of them saw a small stream, and the stream in this stream turned out to be a kind of black water, and when Xiaoyao Xian saw this water, he immediately cheered and shouted: "This is Xuanyin water!" ”

Immediately, he fell, opened the stopper of the red gourd, put the red gourd into it, and filled it with water.

Xiaoyao Xian didn't know how he came to be a hobby, although he carried a red wine gourd, but it actually contained water with various medicinal herbs added.

If she didn't say it herself, others would just think she was an alcoholic, and she carried wine with her, but in fact, all she drank was water.

I don't know how big the space of this red gourd is, and it was filled in the creek for half an hour, but it was not full, and in the end, Xiaoyao Xian felt that the time delayed here was too long, and there might be better things elsewhere, so he reluctantly took the red gourd and left here with Song Jianqiu and Zhou Qingli.
