The dark path is filled with an eerie mist.

The swaying bamboo shadows emitted a low mournful roar with the inexplicable night wind.

Leng Yue and I walked on the stone road, vigilant against the hidden danger under the night, and walked slowly, and came to the outside of the green building after a while.

Outside the moon cave door at the entrance of the building, there was a person standing at this time, with his hands behind his back, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, squinting at us.

Leng Yue and I stopped together, looking at the person in front of us, feeling extremely uneasy.

The man was dressed in a satin robe and horse coat, a small melon skin hat, and a long braid hanging from the back of his head.

He looked at me and Leng Yue with a smile, slowly raised his right hand, and popped out his index finger, pointing at me and Leng Yue.

Leng Yue was on guard, holding a pair of large chopsticks in both hands, bowing slightly, ready to eject at any time.

I carried the iron chisel, but it still didn't feel safe, so I took out the small gourd cinnabar from my backpack and carefully poured out some and pinched it in the palm of my hand.

With the lessons learned in the thousand-year-old tomb in the Northeast, I won't throw cinnabar out in one breath again, this time I have to save a little.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from the depths of the bamboo forest, pulling the mist, causing it to gather into a cloud of mist, and gradually take on the body and limbs of a human.

After a short time, on both sides of the path ahead, a person dressed as a family appeared out of thin air, one holding a nail rake and the other holding a flower hoe, staring at me and Leng Yue with a hideous expression.

Instead of rushing out, Cold Moon slowly retreated, stopping beside me and standing side by side with me.

He whispered in my ear, "Run." ”

I was stunned when I heard this, and I didn't think that Leng Yue would be unsure of it.

The two men stopped on both sides of the road ahead, and their eyes suddenly lit up, and they actually burned small clusters of flames, beating violently.

I didn't run, but squeezed the cinnabar tighter, and asked Leng Yue in a low voice: "This place won't be like in that ancient tomb, it's all an illusion, right?" ”

"Mirage."

Leng Yue uttered a term that I had never heard before, but from a literal understanding, I could guess what he was referring to.

The mirage is a mythical beast that exists in ancient Chinese legends, also known as the mirage, which lives in the sea and resembles a giant shell.

When it exhales, the gas turns into an illusion, sometimes in a pavilion, sometimes in a steep mountain.

Shen Kuo of the Song Dynasty mentioned this kind of mythical beast in "Mengxi Bi Tan", which depicts a very large mirage in Dengzhou, named Dengzhou Haishi.

"In the sea of Dengzhou, there are clouds from time to time, such as palaces, Taiguan, city walls, people, chariots and horses, crown covers, which can be seen throughout the ages, and are called 'sea markets'. Or it is said that 'the mirage is done', and it is doubtful that it is not. ”

If all of this is transformed by the mirage's breath, it should be an illusion, but everything around him is so real, not only can he see it, but he can also touch it, and it is not like an illusion at all.

And the mirage only lives in the sea, and it is only a legendary thing, and it should not exist in reality.

Science has proven more than once that mirages are caused by the refraction of light rays in the air, and generally only appear in deserts and seas.

From any point of view, there is no reason for the mirage to appear here.

Could it be that there really is such a thing as a mirage in the world, and that there are other mutant varieties?

The man in front of the door of the moon cave looked at us with a sneer at this time, but saw that he suddenly spoke, did not speak, but made a very strange sound, like the sound of two pieces of rubber rubbing violently, which made people's scalp numb and goosebumps all over their bodies.

"Run!"

Leng Yue's voice was loud this time, which startled me.

"Where are you going?" I asked angrily.

Leng Yue looked at me when she heard this, and then nodded and said, "Yes." ”

At this moment, the two family members suddenly waved their things and rushed towards us.

Leng Yue hurriedly turned her head, picked up the big iron chopsticks in her hand, and stabbed at the bodies of the two family members.

Although the two family members look very weird and terrifying, their movements are very clumsy and their actions are very slow, no matter how you look at it, they are not Leng Yue's opponents, I really don't know why Leng Yue looked like a great enemy just now.

Soon, my doubts were answered.

I saw that Leng Yue's two big iron chopsticks stabbed the two family members respectively, and easily penetrated their bodies.

I was shocked to find that there was a round hole in the place where the two family members were pierced, and the mist was fluttering, and not a drop of blood came out.

Could it be that they were made of mist?

If that is the case, it must be an illusion, and there is no threat to us.

As I was thinking about it, the nail rake in the hand of one of the family members had already smashed down on Leng Yue's head.

Leng Yue lightly dodged sideways and took a few steps back, widening the distance between them.

The nail rake swung straight down, slamming into the stone slab, smashing a spark and making a deafening sound.

Leng Yue had just dodged this nail rake, but because of the continuous shift of the center of gravity of his body, he had a short period of sluggishness.

But in this fleeting time, another family member had already raised the edge of the flower hoe and slashed towards the cold moon.

Leng Yue avoided it with difficulty, but was still struck by the blade of the flower hoe on the cuff.

only heard the sound of "stabbing", and Leng Yue's cuffs were cut out.

That's when I realized that this was an unfair battle, and that we couldn't hurt each other in the slightest, and that the other side could kill us.

What the hell is this mirage, it can turn the mist it spits out into such a terrifying monster, it has to take our lives to be willing.

I'm more and more worried about Zhao Zitong and Heizi, after all, neither of them has Leng Yue's knowledge and skills, especially Zhao Zitong, who has never been exposed to such things other than normal people's common sense, if she suddenly faces a crisis, there must be no way to deal with it.

Leng Yue and I both heard a scream before, although I couldn't be sure if the scream was made by Zhao Zitong, but I had a faint premonition that Zhao Zitong was already more than lucky.

Thinking about this, I was anxious and annoyed.

I looked forward and saw that Leng Yue and the two family members were still fighting, although Leng Yue would occasionally take the initiative to attack once or twice, but it couldn't hurt the other party at all, but it would expose flaws.

In the confusion of "clanging", I gritted my teeth, stomped my foot, and decided to rush forward and fight.

"Go back!"

Leng Yue glanced at me running towards him, and said expressionlessly that I should not approach, but I ignored it, and raised my hand towards the cinnabar in my hand.

The man had noticed me, and threw his hoe down at me.

"...... Uproar"

Just as the blade of the hoe was about to cut into my shoulder, the cinnabar I raised had already struck the man's body.

At that moment, the housekeeper's movements stopped, and the hoe hung not far from my shoulder.

The family's expression was very painful, and his body "smacked", and he began to be burned by cinnabar.

Wisps of smoke rose from his wounds and returned to the smoke.

Not long after, the family in front of me, with the flower hoe in his hand, had been burned by cinnabar and evaporated.
