Chapter 45 Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Zhou Xuran and Ji Ran hurriedly followed behind the two girls, but the girl in front of them became faster and faster, and she even began to sing loudly while running, this song was exceptionally clear in the empty valley, a little crazy, and the brisk steps became more and more unusual.

"Ji Ran, you hurry up and use the compass to open the knot to demarcate her, there is a cliff in front of you, if you don't stop it quickly, she will be very dangerous if she goes on like this."

Ji Ran took out the compass and silently recited the charm to open the enchantment, but he didn't expect to easily set the girl in front of him in the enchantment, and the girl fainted in the enchantment opened by the compass.

"Let's go over and see." Zhou Xuran and Ji Ran stepped forward, Zhou Xuran helped up the girl who had fainted on the ground, and he checked it, "There should be no problem, it's just a short coma, and I'll wake up in a while." ”

"I didn't expect it to be done so easily, it wasn't as scary as we thought, it seems that we were a little overly nervous." As Zhou Xuran spoke, the girl began to show signs of soberness, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Can you hear me, how is it feeling, is there any discomfort?" The girl woke up and found that she was half lying in Zhou Xuran's arms, and her face was shy, and her voice was a little delicate: "I just feel a little groggy, I have a pretty beautiful dream, you appeared in my dream, now I can't tell whether it is a dream or reality, where am I now?" I didn't expect you to care about me so much. ”

Ji Ran looked at Zhou Xuran with a wicked smile: "It turned out that you were trapped in such a dream, no wonder you were so happy, it turned out that your heart was in a big spring, it seems that people are sincere to you Zhou Xuran." ”

Zhou Xuran indifferently helped the girl up: "It seems that there is nothing wrong, let's go back quickly, so as not to worry the patriarch." ”

The girl looked at Zhou Xuran, who was walking in front and leading the way and keeping a distance from herself, and looked at Ji Ran with some confusion: "What's wrong with him, he cared about me so much just now, and now he is so alienated and indifferent, and the whole person is hot and cold." ”

Ji Ran was rare and serious: "You better provoke him less, according to my observation, he may be cold." The girl looked frightened, and then looked at Zhou Xuran who had turned around with some sympathy.

Ji Ran looked at Zhou Xuran glaring at him, and said with a smile: "Why do you mind so much, joking, he has a fiancΓ©e, his family background and appearance are very good, and he deliberately avoids suspicion with you." ”

Zhou Xuran didn't answer and still led the way in front with an expressionless face, but his steps were a little anxious: "Hey, you go slowly, we can't keep up." The beautiful woman looked lost and said with some complaints.

When they rushed back to the camp, the patriarch did not come.

"What about the patriarchs? Could it be that Zhou Xuran and Ji Ran quickly came to the tents of the doctors and saw the four people who were sleeping.

"The people are still here, there is nothing abnormal, Yinglin went to find the patriarch, such a long time has passed, normally, according to our division of labor plan, the patriarch and the clansmen should have arrived early."

"Not good." Zhou Xuran suddenly burst out with an anxious expression, and Ji Ran was also aware of it, but he just hoped that this conjecture was not true.

The two of them ran to the door of the patriarch's house in a panic, and Ji Ran gasped: "I hope it's not what we think, Yinglin, you must be here." ”

It's just that they knocked on the door loudly, and the patriarch looked at the two people who looked anxious and a little panicked: "What's wrong with you." ”

"Did Yinglin come to you just now?"

"No, Yinglin didn't come, what happened to you just now?" Ji Ran said roughly what happened just now in a panic, and the patriarch took the clansmen to find it in each household after listening to it.

"Yang Yinglin, she's not with us."

"What about her? Where the hell did it go? ”

The patriarch's face changed greatly: "Come with me to the forbidden land, I hope it will be too late." ”

Zhou Xuran's face was full of remorse: "We should have been confused by the illusion just now, think about it, how did that girl wake up so easily, from the beginning I found out that the direction she was running in the opposite direction of the forbidden land I was a little suspicious, but I didn't expect that the target of this 10,000-faced ghost sound turned out to be Yinglin." ”

When they arrived at the forbidden place, they saw Yang Yinglin sitting slumped in the middle of the forbidden place.

"Fortunately, it came in time. Yinglin, what are you doing inside, hurry up and come here, it's dangerous there. Ji Ran shouted loudly to Yang Yinglin not far away, only to see Yang Yinglin suddenly look back at them, her eyes dull and then a weird smile.

The patriarch silently recited the spell and felt the rhythm: "The ghost sound of ten thousand faces has awakened, Yang Yinglin is very dangerous, we have to find a way to save her quickly." ”

After the patriarch finished speaking, their group ran to the forbidden land but were bounced out by a huge force.

"What's going on? Such a powerful enchantment appeared. Ji Ran took out the compass and wanted to open the enchantment, but he didn't expect that not only could he not open the enchantment, but he was subjected to a huge backlash, the stronger the power of the compass, the heavier the damage they were hit by the power of the enchantment, and the three of them were thrown to the ground by the huge backlash force and were injured.

There was nothing abnormal around, reflecting the quiet mountain scenery, Ji Ran roared with some annoyance: "Where are you in the ghost sound of ten thousand faces?" If you have the ability, you can show up. ”

"Hahahaha, an illusory sound suddenly floated in the air, I'm in a hurry so soon, and the more interesting ones are still to come, who said that if I don't show up, I'll be around you, I've been sleepy for thousands of years, and I have to find someone to play with me. Just a few of you still want to stop me, let me take my time one by one, in the illusion I have compiled, no one can come out, I can look directly at the weaknesses in everyone's heart, don't worry, it's your turn next. ”

"What do we do now? Can't break this barrier, you see that Yinglin's face has begun to be full of fear and despair in this forbidden land, can we watch her being confused and tortured in the illusion? In case she can't stand it, then? Zhou Xuran, patriarch, you are talking. ”

"According to the remaining runes in the cave, she is probably the only one who can save her from the illusion of the ghost sound of ten thousand faces." The patriarch said at a loss.

Yang Yinglin's face in the forbidden land began to become distorted, and the whole person was already sitting on the ground with her head in her hands.

The patriarch just shook his head helplessly, Zhou Xuran's heart was no less anxious than Ji Ran at the moment, he tried to keep himself calm and restrain his emotions, only in this way could he keep himself sober.

"There's really nothing we can do, we can only fight once."

"What kind of spelling, Zhou Xuran, you said." Zhou Xuran looked at Ji Ran with some hesitation, "I thought about this method just now, but Ji Ran, you have to be mentally prepared, I don't know if you can resist it." ”

"When did you become so verbose, now is not the time to hesitate, tell me what to do."

"Ji Ran continued to use the compass to attack the barrier of this forbidden land."

"We tried it just now, and the backlash is very strong, and we are not afraid of being injured, but the key is that it has no effect."

"It's because the backlash is very powerful, you use the maximum mana to attack this enchantment, and then I find a way to open a gap in the backlash of the enchantment." Zhou Yan took out his dagger and cut his finger to drip blood on it, and then took out a small bottle from his pocket.

"What's in your bottle?"

"Extreme Yin Blood, the last time Yinglin was injured and hospitalized, I collected Yinglin's blood for backup." No one thought that Zhou Xuran still had this hand,

After Zhou Xuran finished speaking, he poured blood on the dagger, "If we can open the gap in the enchantment, the blood may be able to enter Yinglin's illusion." ”

"That's a way, you can try it," the patriarch agreed.

"Then let's get started." Ji Ran said urgingly.

"The outside will be handed over to you, the patriarch, you stay here, seal off this forbidden place and don't let anyone else in."

"Don't worry, I'll leave it to me."

Ji Ran began to refocus his strength to attack the enchantment of this forbidden place with a compass, but the stronger the impact, the stronger the anti-devouring power, the corners of Ji Ran's mouth began to ooze blood, he looked at Zhou Xuran, Zhou Xuran also exhausted all his strength, but fortunately, the dagger drew a small hole in the enchantment with strong anti-devouring power.

"I can't stand it anymore, Zhou Xuran."

"You're holding on."

Ji Ran gathered the last spiritual power and concentrated it to attack with all his strength with the compass: I can't stand it. Ji Ran spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground and fainted.

He vaguely felt that a strong beam of sunlight pierced his eyes, and his whole body hurt like falling apart, Ji Ran tried to barely open his eyes, and saw Zhou Xuran sitting beside him.

"How's it going, how long have I been in a coma. The day was all dawn. ”

"It's not dawn, you've only been in a coma for a while, and we've now entered the illusion that the ghost sound of the Ten Thousand Faces compiled for Yinglin."

Zhou Xuran hugged Ji Ran and began to check the surrounding environment: "It's not what we expected, this illusion is full of sunshine, maybe this is the place that Yinglin yearns for the most." ”

"What about Yinglin, where is she?"

Zhou Xuran pointed to the small courtyard in the distance: "I think it should be in there, let's go in and have a look." Zhou Xuran helped Ji Ran slowly walk into the small courtyard.

"Looking at the situation here, it should be Yinglin's grandfather's old house that she often talks about, the quaint courtyard, planted with all kinds of flowers and quilts in an orderly manner, full of warmth, and a small vegetable garden over there. I didn't expect this scene to be the same as what she described to us before. I guess she was in the study or in the little vegetable garden, which she used to say was her favorite place to go with memories. ”

Ji Ran looked at Zhou Xuran, "I usually look at you coldly, I didn't expect you to care so much about Yinglin, and know her more carefully than me, she usually likes to talk about things when she was a child, and she talks a lot, but I don't pay much attention to it, I didn't expect you to listen very carefully." ”

"Let's go to the little vegetable garden first."

The two of them approached the vegetable garden, which was not very large, and there were not many fresh vegetables in it: eggplant and tomatoes, beans. There are also wildflowers in the corner of the vegetable garden. A little girl about 6 or 7 years old, carrying a small basket and picking eggplants.

"That's not going to be Yinglin." Ji Ran approached and looked at the little girl.

"Smaller version of facial features, but somewhat alike." Zhou Xuran said.

Ji Ran began to look carefully: "It's a little like Ha, but she looked quite cute when she was a child." It's so much cuter than it is now. One thing I don't quite understand why she is so small here. ”

"This should be the time that Yinglin likes the most in her heart and wants to go back to, Yinglin's later memories have been sealed, so she should stay here."

"Yang Yinglin, don't pick eggplants, we're looking for you, let's take you out."

But the little girl in front of her didn't react at all, Ji Ran stepped forward to grab her, but found that she was able to penetrate her.

"How so?" Ji Ran looked at Zhou Xuran with some puzzlement.

Zhou Xuran also tried to speak loudly at Yang Yinglin, she didn't react at all, nothing they did had any impact on the surrounding environment or Yang Yinglin herself.

"I think we might have the bad news, we can just enter her illusion, but she doesn't feel our presence, and we can't control the virtual world."

"In other words, we can only watch her and there is nothing we can do about it." Ji Ran asked.

"It should be so, but there's something worse for us."

"There will be something worse for Zhou Xuran."

"We may not be able to get out unless Yinglin opens this illusion herself. We're trapped in it just like her. ”

Ji Ran's eyes widened: "What did you say?" We're trapped here, too, and what kind of solution is this, not only can't we save her, but we also trap ourselves inside. ”

"Who would have thought that now we can only wait and see." Zhou Xuran was surprisingly calm.

At this time, someone walked past them, the person turned his back to them and appeared at some point, he walked to Yang Yinglin's side, squatted quietly on the ground, lifted the basket she was holding in her hand and said in a gentle and doting tone: "I picked these eggplants and stayed here for most of the day, don't you want to practice calligraphy with me." ”

The little Yang Yinglin lowered her head and smiled secretly without speaking, and ran over and hugged him a little coquettishly.

"Is this person Yinglin's grandfather?" Ji Ran looked at his back and said.

"Like, let's go check it out."

"Do you like it here? Yinglin. ”

"Hmm"

"You like to stay here, I'll always be here with you, okay, let's not go anywhere." That little Yang Yinglin suddenly raised her head and looked at her grandfather, who had always loved her, but began to break free and kept retreating.

Ji Ran and Zhou Xuran came to Yang Yinglin's side and looked at her somewhat timid eyes, his grandfather smiled, but this smile was extremely scary and even a little hideous.

"What's the matter, haven't you always liked this place the most, and have always had the deepest relationship with me since you were a child, haven't you always been reluctant to let me be by your side? Staying here, we will always keep the most beautiful time. ”

"This should be the fantasy of the Ghost Voice of Ten Thousand Faces compiling, and he is using Yang Yinglin's grandfather's voice to confuse her." Zhou Xuran looked at Yang Yinglin's wavering eyes.

"But we can only be anxious here, Yinglin can't feel us, we can only watch her being bewitched like this."

Yang Yinglin approached her grandfather in front of her step by step a little timidly, and suddenly stopped.

"It's a dream isn't it, I've grown up, I can't stop here." Yang Yinglin felt that she was starting to feel a little dizzy and painful, and she actually began to grow up slowly and return to her current appearance.

His grandfather's face was no longer kind, and he even looked at her with some horror and sneered: "Since you don't want to stay by my side, I gave you a chance, I made up such a beautiful dream for you, you don't cherish it, then I'll show you what reality is." ”

As he spoke, Yinglin's grandfather's figure began to turn into a black shadow, disappearing, the sunlight was no longer visible, and the entire space was dark. A cold voice emanated from the air: "Everyone has their own weaknesses and greedy side, everyone has their own fears, let me come and see you." ”

Zhou Xuran and Ji Ran saw that there was a strong aura surrounding Yang Yinglin. The cold voice hovered in the sky: "You have a rare pure soul and heart, but unfortunately the absence of greed and desire does not mean that there is no fear, I will take you to see your fear, let you know what the dark reality is." ”

The wind was blowing, and an extremely strong light rushed directly into Yang Yinglin's face, and she fainted to the ground.

The voice floating in the air suddenly changed again: "You have fulfilled your promise to me for a thousand years, and I also promise you, I will return you a favor, help you awaken her lost memory, open her seal, and let you find the person you want to find." ”

Ji Ran and Zhou Xuran were confused when they said this, and they didn't have time to react, the fragments of the memory of time and space reversal were spreading around, and they were dizzy from being turned by a huge whirlpool, and they didn't know how long they were shaking, and finally stopped, and the two of them were taken to another world.

"Where are we being taken?" Ji Ran looked around with some curiosity.

"It's like a school." Zhou Xuran said.

"How did we get brought here, could it be that this fantasy is when she was a student, Yinglin is still really a child, she doesn't want to grow up like this, and she is not happy when she is usually naΓ―ve."

When the bell rang for the end of class, some students began to come out of school one after another, but what made Ji Ran and Zhou Xuran depressed was that the two of them were ignored by the people who came and went, they were still transparent people, and they could even be penetrated by the crowd coming and going, they were still bystanders in this illusion.

"There are so many people, where is Yang Yinglin?"

"It should be there."

Yang Yinglin, who was wearing a middle school uniform, walked out with her best friend Beibei talking and laughing.

"I didn't expect Yinglin to be so innocent, how do I think she is a little disabled now, I didn't expect that she was still thin before." Zhou Xuran ignored that Ji Ran was still in a poor mood at this time, and they came to Yang Yinglin's side.
