Chapter 18: The Illusion of the Bottom of the Lake
Where did Qinglang think that Xin Zhi jumped down by herself, she didn't have time to stop her, she lay in the hole and shouted, "Ami! Come here, brother, Ami has fallen into the hole!"
Shen Fei, who was on the other side of the banyan tree, heard Qinglang's shout, and his heart suddenly tightened, and he walked quickly to her side, and shouted towards the entrance of the cave after asking what was going on, and when he saw that there was no response, he didn't think about it, and jumped down.
What's going on with these people? Why do you jump down at every turn?
"Senior brother! What to do?" She looked at Lang Yue anxiously and lost her mind. Seeing this, Lang Yue said, "Let's wait for the three of them to find out, we will guard it above, so we can take care of it." “
Xin Zhi slid down the passage, and when she stopped, she got up to observe, and the rope was tied to her and quietly dragged to the ground, pulling it, and there was no movement at the other end. So she simply didn't care, the surroundings were dark and dark, there were no fingers, there was a faint sound of running water, she thought that maybe follow this sound to find the water source is the exit.
She reached out and touched the wall beside her, and found that it was uneven, it turned out to be the bark of the tree, which means that it was still in the banyan tree?
Because it was too dark and I didn't know what was going on, I had to crawl forward against the bark wall, and after walking for about half an hour, I found a faint light in front of me, and when I got closer, I saw a thick fog.
This fog was very thick, she couldn't see what was in front of her, the fog slowly enveloped her, and gradually her head was a little dizzy, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she lost consciousness against the tree wall!
When she woke up, she found herself in a barren desert.
She was no longer wearing the pink water shirt, but the jujube red armor she wore when she was reborn! And in his hand, a broken sword full of blood and flesh was glowing with a faint cold light.
It's a fantasy...... Was it the last fight she had before she died?
Surrounded by soldiers with blurred faces, they were dressed in light armor, their expressions were not clear with their heads down, and they were ready to attack with weapons in their hands, Xin Zhi raised his head and saw that at the end of the desert, where the sky and the yellow sand met, the enemy army was coming with black pressure.
Her heart began to tremble inexplicably, the fear in her heart filled her body, she stepped back and wanted to find Shen Fei, but there were soldiers here, she couldn't find it, and there was no such gentle and tall figure anywhere.
"Kill!"
The soldiers let out a thunderous roar, holding the weapons in their hands to kill the enemy in front, she was pushed and couldn't retreat at all, so she had to meet it hard, the sword and sword, the soldiers fell in rows, and she was also red-eyed.
She had to hurry back to the place she had just had, if Shen Fei couldn't find her, she would be worried.
But... But how can I go back?
Xin Zhi snatched the enemy's weapon and held the sword in both hands, she shuttled through the sea of blood like a swimming dragon, and in the midst of the enemy army, where the banner was raised, the tall masked general sat on the highest place.
She wondered if she killed that person and the illusion would be over?
Thinking so, Xin Zhi quickly dodged the attack of the enemy beside him and attacked the general at the top!
I saw that after the man saw himself, he also made a posture of drawing his sword, Xin Zhi jumped in front of the general, and was about to cut down on him, only to see the man's cold sword "whoosh" out of the sheath, reflecting a faint wave of light, soft as water, it was the Water Moon Sword she saw every day!
Xin Zhi was taken aback, but it was too late to stop, her broken sword was inserted into the general's chest, only to hear him snort, stretched out his hand and hugged himself tightly, the voice was familiar and gentle, the mask shattered from it, revealing the handsome face that was familiar day and night, Shen Fei struggled to control Xin Zhi, who was trembling with red eyes, and said with a wry smile,
"I'm here, don't be afraid."
When Xin Zhi came to her senses, she found that she was pressing on Shen Fei's body, her hands were bloody, and her five fingers had already ripped off a piece of the flesh on Shen Fei's chest.
The blood stimulated her snort, she looked at the scene in front of her in horror, and before she could react, she suddenly felt pain all over her body, like an ant gnawing at it, she threw herself on the ground, rolling, the bronze mask fell to the side, and half of her bony face looked eerie and grotesque, terrifying and disgusting.
"Drink ......"
She struggled in pain, since she was reborn, she had thought that she didn't feel any pain, but the pain that pierced her heart just now was almost like to die headlong.
However, when she saw the flesh on Shen Fei's body that had been ripped off by herself, as well as her hand that was dripping with blood, she was at a loss for what to do, and suddenly looked at the man who was still gently comforting her, her eyes were warm, and the tears of beans were dripping on Shen Fei's face like broken threads.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Why are you crying...... It's not your fault........"
He took Xin Zhi into his arms, lowered his eyelids and whispered to reassure, Xin Zhi had never been so panicked and painful, and he was also uncomfortable, thinking that her might be caused by the contract. The spirit pet must not harm the owner of the contract, and if it is unfaithful, it will suffer the pain of bone erosion.
Originally, Shen Fei was very happy that the two had made a contract, but now it seems that Xin Zhi is in pain, and he is also uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that it is better to terminate the contract after going back.
"Bear with me, and it won't hurt after a while." The punishment of the spirit pet is mainly for training, but fortunately, it is not long.
He patiently stretched out his bloody fingers to wipe away the tears on Xin Zhi's face, endured the pain in his chest and said, "Obviously I was injured, why are you sadder than me......"
Xin Zhi snuggled up to this, endured the pain with trembling hands and covered the wound and whimpered, but the blood was getting more and more, and she couldn't stop it, so she helped Shen Fei up, carefully let him lean on herself, and the two leaned on each other.
She took out the small purse around her neck and put a large handful of Enhancement Pills into Shen Fei's mouth, these Enhancement Pills were originally made for Xin Zhi, and they were of no use to Shen Fei. But Xin Zhi fed him and ate it, and she was quite relieved, thinking that she would take care of herself if she made progress.
After a stick of incense, the pain on her body slowly receded, Xin Zhi packed herself, put on the mask again, bandaged the wound for him, wiped off the blood stains of the two of them, and washed the leather gloves with pity, she was still crying while scrubbing, panting and out of breath, and Shen Fei on the side couldn't cry or laugh.
Forcibly holding the person in his arms, resting his chin on the cold mask, not letting her struggle, patting her back lovingly and coaxing, "I haven't found out you're a crybaby yet." I don't hurt, really. “
Shen Fei had a new understanding of her, and his heart sketched Xin Zhi's appearance: it was a young girl biting her lip and red eyes, wearing pink clothes.
She is strong in martial arts, but like an ordinary little girl, she can't move her steps when she sees beautiful ornaments, she likes red and green flowers and plants, she is silent but sensitive, and she loves to cry...... His demon corpse is really cute.

Qinglang sat beside the entrance of the cave for a long time, and said anxiously, "No, it's been down for so long, why haven't you pulled the rope?" Senior brother, nothing will happen to them, right? ”
Hearing this, Lang Yue glanced at the moon, "They don't have time to go down to a stick of incense, don't worry, senior brother, my cultivation is not bad, Ami is also very powerful, if you really encounter anything, you will have the ability to protect yourself." He felt that Qinglang was blindly worried, Shen Fei Jindan cultivated in the later stage, and the demon corpse was also a top man, so it was better to worry about himself than worry about them. Even if it is Shuofeng, there is also cultivation in the later stage of foundation building, and self-preservation is not a problem. Besides, the demonic aura here is so light, how can there be high-level monsters?
"But what if they get lost?" Qinglang still asked, the more she thought about it, the more worried she became. She proposed to come to the ghost market, and now there is no news from the three of them, but she stays on it, and she feels that she is too much no matter how she thinks about it.
"That's it," Lang Yue said as she looked at her soulless appearance, "Let's go if you want to go down." ”
He observed, there had been no news for so long, maybe it was lost, and the immortal rope had not moved, and it seemed that it might have entered some space.
With that, the two jumped into the cave together.
The passage was a little long, and Qing Lang stumbled behind Lang Yue to the bottom of the banyan tree, and Lang Yue observed the surroundings and said, "Here, maybe it's inside the banyan tree." ”
"Inside the banyan tree? Is there such a big tree? Qing Lang thought that the banyan tree didn't look so big on the outside.
Lang Yue said, "I once saw in a book that there is a tree called the 'Heavenly Demon Tree', which is very similar to the banyan tree in the mortal world, but it can only grow on the edge of the demon world, and it is born by sucking demonic energy. Just now those ghostly fireflies attached to it are evidence. ”
"The Heavenly Demon Book is a barrier connecting humans and demons, maybe the three of them can't contact the outside world just by entering here. In short, we should not be in the mortal realm now, everything is careful,"
Qinglang nodded, and walked behind Lang Yue vigilantly, the two groped and walked forward slowly, and suddenly heard the sound of water flowing, she said excitedly, "Senior brother, there is a water source!" Maybe the exit will be there! ”
Lang Yue also heard it, nodded in agreement, "Then let's hurry over, they should be there too." ”
Following the sound of the water, the two looked for the exit together, and soon saw a white mist in front of them, Qinglang said happily, "Senior brother, I'll just say, isn't this here!" She opened her legs and ran towards the bright place in front of her, but Lang Yue felt strange and hurriedly stopped, "Senior sister, don't run too fast, this fog doesn't look right....."
Before they could finish speaking, the two fell into a hallucination.
At this end, Xin Zhi helped Shen Fei to walk forward slowly, she originally wanted to use her back, but Shen Fei was unwilling, the two helped each other through the fog and walked to the water source, Shen Fei looked around, but she didn't expect that there was a lake under the banyan tree!
The lake is as calm as a mirror, embedded in the surrounding stone walls, the two walked in to see, the lake is crystal clear, Xin Zhi knelt on the edge of the lake and looked down, it was actually fluorescent stars. Look closely, the bottom of the lake is brightly lit, the traffic is busy, and the flow of people is pouring in, a prosperous scene!
Shen Fei held her shoulder, afraid that Xin Zhi would fall into the lake, so he gently pulled himself into his arms, "I didn't expect that the ghost market was hidden under the lake." ”
Because of hurting Shen Fei, Xin Zhi's excitement has long been gone, and she is now depressed, and her eyes are red. Shen Fei smiled, "There are many elixirs below, we can go and buy some to heal our injuries." After speaking, she found that her dim eyes brightened a little, and said, "But we have to find someone else first." ”
Shuofeng must have experienced the same illusion as them, and the time difference between them is not long, and they should be able to find it along the lake. He pulled Xin Zhi up and walked slowly along the lake, and sure enough, he saw Shuofeng hiding in a crack in the rocks and shivering with fright!
"Don't... Don't come here, I'll be obedient, don't kill me! ”
The handsome noble son, covered in mud and embarrassed, looked at the person with staring eyes, and muttered, "Master, don't kill me......"
