Chapter 258 Is it a human or a ghost?
"Enchantment?" Chen Zheng was a little confused, he had heard a lot of this kind of thing, but when he saw something like an enchantment, he remembered that in addition to the arsenal of the embroidered guard, this was the second time he had seen it.
The enchantment in the arsenal of the embroidered guard is to protect one item after another, and it is not as big as imagined, and now Zhang Baiye means that the large forest in front of him is an enchantment, which is a little incredible, is it naturally generated or artificial?
Xu saw the confusion in the eyes of Che Neng and the others, and said with a smile, "Maybe a few of them are martial artists who don't know the mystery, please watch carefully." ”
Then an amazing scene appeared, I saw Zhang Baiye walking towards the forest without hesitation, and a layer of ripples similar to water waves suddenly appeared in front of him, and then the whole person seemed to blend in and disappeared.
It's surprising that a good person disappeared right under the noses of the group.
Even Yu Zhiruo lightly opened her lips, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Could it be that Gao Shan and the others entered here, so we searched in Shouyang Mountain for a long time and found nothing?" ”
The group was still in doubt when they saw ripples appear, and Zhang Baiye's figure reappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"This enchantment looks ordinary, if it weren't for my temperament, I wouldn't have been able to detect the anomaly here, so please come in with me." Zhang Baiye waved his hand, and everyone only saw a wisp of green qi emerge, merging into the enchantment that Zhang Baiye said, and then a hole appeared.
The group walked into the hole made by Zhang Baiye, their eyes were gray at first, and they couldn't see the road in front of them clearly, but they were soon stunned by the scene in front of them.
As far as the eye can see, there is a small town not far away, you can see neat houses, the streets are shoulder to shoulder, there are merchants and vendors constantly selling, and pedestrians stop to buy from time to time.
It looks like a complete small county town, appearing in front of everyone's eyes out of thin air.
But the outside world is obviously a forest, how can there be such a town hidden in the forest.
Niu Chengli exclaimed again and again, he had never seen such an incident for so many years, "This is impossible!" Shouyang Mountain is full of trees, surrounded by hundreds of beasts, and sparsely populated, how can there be a small city here? "And there is no flag hanging on it, it turns out that under the rule of Beiyan, who is sacred?
Yu Zhiruo couldn't help but praise in her mouth, you must know that Daomen has a natural advantage in arranging enchantments, and this enchantment in front of him can cover such a large small city, and it doesn't seem to have any abnormalities, and he can't feel the popularity inside at all, such a cultivation, even if the elders of Baiyun Mountain who are most proficient in enchantment formations come, it is estimated that they can't arrange it, such a big enchantment, How much heaven and earth treasure will cost to arrange, and I don't know how much Yuan Qi Ore will cost to maintain this enchantment.
"Let's go first and find out, there is no trace of Gao Shan and others in Shouyang Mountain, it is very likely that they are here." Zhang Baiye took the lead in saying.
Everyone did not suspect him, with some curiosity and some vigilance in their eyes, and slowly approached the small city.
When they got closer, they found that there were soldiers at the door, but they were all wearing civilian clothes, but they were just holding weapons in their hands, and when they saw a group of people approaching, they didn't react, and they still patrolled by themselves, as if they didn't exist.
After a while, the group of people walking on the street felt even more peculiar, the pedestrians around them were so real and lively, but the style of the clothes on their bodies seemed to be a little retro, not like contemporary clothes.
"This old man." Chen Zheng saw a kind old man on the side of the road, and the curiosity in his heart finally couldn't be suppressed, and he stepped forward to ask: "Dare to ask the old man, what is this place?" ”
The old man hesitated for a moment, as if he was a little surprised by this question, and then carefully looked at the clothes of Chen Zheng and the others, which seemed to be very different from his own, and his eyes were still full of doubts, and he suddenly realized, "The guest is from outside the mountain?" ”
Chen Zheng and the others were also a little surprised, it turned out that the people in this enchantment still knew inside and outside the mountain, and it seemed that they were not complacent.
"We are here in the Heavenly City, we are all people who have lived here for generations for a long time, we are all remnants of the previous dynasty, and we have not seen outsiders come in for a long time." The old man did not hide his origin at all, but told their identities very seriously.
Chen Zheng and others are also stunned, the remnants of the previous dynasty? The remnants of the Great Zhou?
The old man slowly gave everyone the process of coming to the heavenly city. The ancestors of the old man at that time in order to avoid war, disease and all kinds of harsh taxes, many people dragged their families to come here, accidentally discovered the existence of this piece of enchantment, they came in and out very freely, and it is not easy for ordinary people to find such a hidden location, so the ancestors settled in the vicinity of this heavenly city, began to continue to cultivate and weave, and slowly developed to form today's heavenly city, everyone lives here carefree, like a peach blossom source.
Niu Chengli and the others were naturally amazed, they didn't expect there to be such ingenious things in the world, Chen Zheng had a strange face, this is clearly the Peach Blossom Spring, am I possessed by the Wuling people? However, it seems that Tao Yuanming's record may also really exist.
And it seems that there are no less than 10,000 people in this small town, and the development is very good, and I don't know if the intrusion of my group will have any adverse impact on their lives.
Since there have been no outsiders here for many years, it should not be very difficult to inquire about the whereabouts of Gao Shan and the others.
"I don't know if my husband has seen outsiders like us recently, we are here to look for them." Chen Zheng was ready to probe the wind from this old man's mouth.
The old man thought for a while, and his face was embarrassed, "I'm sorry, this son, the old man is dizzy, and I don't know if there are outsiders coming in, and this Tiancheng can be regarded as a sea of people, living in so many years, I haven't known everyone clearly, let alone found a few other outsiders among the ten thousand, if it weren't for the child's question, I might not know that there are people from outside the mountain coming in." ”
"It doesn't seem to be working." Chen Zheng muttered to himself.
Zhang Baiye proposed: "In this case, we might as well disperse and slowly look for the traces of Gao Shan and others, it is not efficient to go to a location to find it together, I still suggest dividing the troops to find it, once we find the traces of Gao Shan, we should not be impulsive, just keep an eye on it, and then pass on the signal to others." With that, he took out a small pile of letter paper from the bookbasket.
"This is what my Yunlu Academy uses to convey signals, signal paper, as long as one is torn within a hundred miles, others will be able to sense the location, and when the time comes, we will round him up as soon as we find the existence of Gao Shan."
Chen Heng and several people also stretched out their hands to take it, and then began to act separately, preparing to see the traces of Gao Shan and the others.
Chen Zheng held the signal paper in his arms and scattered his subordinates, hoping to find traces of the mountains.
While walking, Chen Zheng began to think about a good place to find out the news. Chen Zheng looked up and saw that a restaurant appeared in front of him, the name is called Sifang Restaurant, and there must be a lot of pedestrians coming and going to this place, and he spits the truth on the wine table, maybe he can hear some news about Gao Shan and others.
Chen Zheng walked in, and immediately an enthusiastic shopkeeper came up to greet him, leading Chen Zheng to the second floor, and after sitting down, Chen Zheng simply ordered a few side dishes, a pot of wine, and secretly listened to what the people around him were saying while waiting.
But it's all short gossip from some parents, and before the food is served, Chen Zheng can't sit still, after all, he is not a person who likes to listen to gossip, of course, if he listens to some secretly, he doesn't mind.
Soon, the shopkeeper brought wine and food, but Chen Zheng didn't move his chopsticks, and a slightly stout figure came to Chen Zheng's face, and sat in front of Chen Zheng in a grand manner, "This brother, you don't mind if I sit here." ”
Chen Zheng looked up, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "It's okay, please sit down." Even Chen Zheng didn't expect that the person who appeared in front of him was the target of his mission this time, Gao Shan. When he came to him so dignified, wasn't he afraid that he would arrest him?
"Hehe, didn't you expect me to suddenly appear in front of you?" Gao Shan sat in front of Chen Zheng very calmly, without the slightest hostility, and he had no intention of making a move, but Chen Zheng estimated that he did not surrender himself, so what was Gao Shan's intention?
"Actually, I also found out by chance, brother, that you came to this tavern, and I don't think you want to be that kind of vicious person, so I came to contact you."
Chen Zheng replied lightly, "Hmm." "I want to see what kind of medicine you sell in the jar.
Gao Shan saw that Chen Zheng didn't care very much, but he didn't rush to catch himself, and he didn't care whether Chen Zheng was happy to listen to it or not, so he began to tell his story, but when he was a child, he didn't generalize, but talked about what happened after he joined the army, including his friendship with his brothers, and why he had a bad relationship with the imperial official and finally killed the ins and outs of Shangguan.
After hearing this, Chen Zheng also sighed helplessly and said: "Actually, I know that the pot of this matter is not in you, people's hearts are unpredictable, who can know that Tian Qing had that kind of mind at the beginning, but you can't deny the fact that you killed Shangguan and absconded, you should know the rules of our embroidered guards, Shangfeng's order, I can't help it, who makes us all people who are that kind of state machine?" ”
Gao Shan showed a wry smile on his face, "Yes, we are all people in the system, and ordering such things is often involuntary." But even if I wanted to go with you now, I wouldn't be able to leave. ”
Chen Zheng's woodpipes became a little dangerous: "Oh? Senior brother, to be honest, I still have deep sympathy for what happened to you, but still you can't resist arrest, or are you very confident in your cultivation at the peak of your luck realm, and those brothers of yours? ”
While speaking, Chen Zheng quietly put his hand on the signal paper, and was ready to tear it off if something was wrong, and notify others to come and arrest people.
However, a scene that made Chen Zheng unbelievable appeared, a trace of sadness flashed in Gao Shan's eyes, and then he didn't know where to take out a knife, and when Chen Zheng had not yet attacked, he made a cut on his hand, and then sprinkled those blood beads on the wine and food that Chen Zheng had just ordered.
Chen Zheng thought that this was Gao Shan insanity, and he gave up on himself, and was about to disgust himself, and an amazing picture appeared.
I saw that it was obviously a steaming sake, but after being contaminated with the blood of the mountains, an astonishing white unknown gas erupted on it, and then the original face of the sake, was revealed.
Seeing that Chen Zheng had no appetite at all, he almost threw it up. What kind of wine and food is this, it is clearly human bones and carrion, and the wine is clearly a group of insects who don't know what their names are, gathered together and arched in the cup, and the people who are afraid of it will die on the spot when they see it.
"What's going on? Is it magic or illusion? Chen Zheng was a little sick to his stomach, fortunately, the food in the mountains in the past few days was average, otherwise it was estimated that he might vomit a lot of things now.
And the sadness on Gao Shan's face was even stronger, as if he remembered something bad. "It's supposed to be an illusion, in fact, it's normal that you didn't notice the weirdness of this place, I came a while before you. Just now, brother, you asked me why the brothers who escaped with me didn't show up, because they touched these things, and they were either poisoned alive or bitten by those insects. This is not a peach blossom source, this is clearly a magic cave. ”
"You say it's the poison of the people here?" Chen Zheng unconsciously touched the seven deadly sins in his hand.
"Hehe, this embroidered brother, do you still think that everyone here is human? You see that all these people around us are really people, right? The cold color on Takayama's face was getting stronger and stronger.
Chen Zheng looked up and found that the people around him who seemed to be all guests in the restaurant before, but now they were all looking at his table with cold eyes, including the humble shopkeeper before, his eyes were all cold, without a trace of emotion, as if he was a puppet.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of gold and iron on the street outside, and the signal paper on Chen Zheng's chest was also slightly shining, and Chen Zheng suddenly felt that someone near him had torn up the signal paper.
And the sound of gold and iron was like a signal, and the puppet-like people in the restaurant who were staring at Chen Zheng and Gao Shan opened their mouths one after another, and finally let out an unknown roar and rushed over.
Chen Zheng pulled out his knife violently, and directly waved his hand, the imaginary scene of ears and flesh flying did not appear, and the range that fell on the ground was a few paper figures that had been halved, are they people or ghosts?
