No, I felt as if the whole mountain forest was shaking three times, and a thin blue mist rose around me in an instant, the mist did not spread, on the contrary, it slowly condensed, and soon gathered into a blue-purple air mass the size of a waking tree, I vaguely remember that Jinshan said at that time that the whistle would attract a very special kind of bug, this thing in front of me is special enough, but I just can't see which kind of "bug" it looks like, I secretly scolded for being fooled, but at this time, I didn't have time to think about it, the blue and purple air mass dragged a basket tail, like a big ghost fire floating towards me.

Slowly floated in front of me, if it was just like a big ghost fire, I would have reluctantly wanted to believe that it was just a special group of insects, but the situation in front of me really surprised me, this air mass turned into a human shape, although it is not big, but the eyebrows and facial features on the human face can be seen clearly, this can not be a coincidence.

What's this special bug? I wanted to slash the monster with a single sword, but I didn't do it, and took a big step to the side.

The humanoid air mass didn't dodge or dodge, and flew straight past me, "What the hell is this?" I shouted.

"This is the spirit of the mountain, it will not harm us, quick, follow it." The phoenix shouted, and then led the chase after the humanoid air mass.

Xia Ti and I followed, and the humanoid air mass flew in the other direction, which led to the depths of the woods, and it didn't fly very fast, it fluttered, and we could follow it in two steps, but we didn't know where it was going to take us.

Soon I felt that we were just walking, but the trees next to us were flying backwards, and if the trees were not moving, it meant that we were moving at a great speed, even the fastest horses could not run so fast.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed, although the black shadow was fast, but this time it was clear that it was a golden-eyed big black eagle, this black eagle hit the humanoid air mass directly, and the air mass was instantly washed away, but soon there was a rebuilding and condensed into a human form, and it was not affected at all.

I was secretly surprised, it turned out that although this air mass was human-shaped, it was really qualitative, no wonder Jinshan was vague when he said that it was a special bug, if this thing was not seen with his own eyes, it was hard to believe its existence.

As I ran, I asked what the "spirit of the mountains" was about the phoenix.

The phoenix told me that according to the Miao Di, there are spirits in every mountain, as the saying goes, there are fairies in the mountains, in fact, the spirits and immortals are very close, but where there is a hidden wind and water, there will be spirits of cultivating immortals in the mountains and forests, such as snakes or foxes, or some plants and trees, and when they practice to a certain extent, they are the spirits of this mountain before becoming immortals. The immortal can be completely separated from the physical body and the mountains that maintain it, and can freely roam the void, but the spirit cannot, and can only go out of the body for a short time, but it cannot completely get rid of the physical body and the place of spiritual energy. And the spirit can be caught, as long as the body is found, the spirit can only obediently let people walk, the legend is that the spirit can cure the soul disease, Maoshan has a special spirit to catch the spirit of the Tao, can refine the spirit into an elixir, save people's lives, often easy to get, a medicine is hard to find.

Listening to her say this, I remembered that there is indeed such a saying, I remember when I was a child, my grandfather told me that everything has spirituality, and there are many spiritual things in the mountains, he once talked to a thousand-year-old ginseng, and the old ginseng was about to soar into an immortal, who knew that the carelessness fell into the hands of grandpa

, and begged him to raise his noble hand, although this thousand-year-old mountain ginseng is worth a thousand gold, but grandpa still moved his heart of compassion and let it go. After that, grandpa always felt that he himself was also stained with the aura of the old mountain ginseng, every time he entered the mountain was smooth, full of loads, several times the danger was also confused to resolve, once he met a tiger in the mountain, the tiger not only did not hurt him, but led him to find a lot of rare medicinal materials, as if he was blessed by God in the dark.

At first, I only thought that this was my grandfather's self-boasting, a story made up blindly, I was not too old, my grandfather was still talking about it, I naturally didn't want to expose his old man, but now I think about it, if there is really a mountain spirit, then grandpa's story is not fake, just when I slipped away, the humanoid air mass dispersed, and the spirit was gone, and then I noticed that this is not the remains of the ancient village.

I turned around a few rammed earth walls that were still standing, and the furnishings inside were already rotten, leaving only stone bowls and tattered pottery altars buried under the dust, which seemed to have been deserted for at least a few hundred years.

I took out the compass and looked at it, the pointer was still swaying, although the swing was a lot slighter, but the speed was many times faster, I felt that the strange feeling on my body was gone, replaced by a slight feeling of dizziness, as if I was drunk.

Seeing Xia Ti staring at me, he said: "The compass doesn't seem to work anymore, this place is a little weird, you have to pay attention, how did we get here?" Seeing that we are two or three miles away from this village, even if we are afraid of light work, it will take a while, not to mention that we are just walking normally, and we are in the wrong direction, how can we get here in an instant? ”

Xia Ti probably couldn't guess the mystery, just pacing back and forth in circles, and the phoenix was even more dazed, seeing me looking at her, her head shook like a rattle.

I thought about it for a moment and asked Phoenix, "How much do you know about this mountain spirit?" Could it be that it confuses us, maybe we've been gone for a long time, but it just feels like it's just a moment, or maybe it's just a hallucination for us. ”

Phoenix shook his head and said: "Most of the mountain spirits are spiritual creatures that are about to become immortals, and they will not come out to hurt people, and few evil spirits can only make people hallucinate after entering the human body, and the mountain spirit just now is just to guide us, what we see and hear should be true." ”

Xia Ti took a piece of cloth, treated the wound on my back, and said: "Do you remember the big black eagle just now, your injury was caused by it, the big bird is too big, it doesn't seem to want to take your life, otherwise you are really lucky." ”

Thinking about that golden-eyed big black eagle, extremely fast, ferocious, and indeed its size could easily kill me, so I nodded and asked: "Looking at it this way, the big black cloth that attacked us is indeed the golden-eyed big black eagle, but why are these beasts so fast that they can't see clearly when they attack us, but they can see clearly just now?" ”

Xia Ti said: "Do you remember when we were in the Western Queen Mother Country, their people were also

You can only move in a fixed area, otherwise you are very likely to get lost and not come back? ”

I naturally remembered, so I nodded, and then Xia Ti told us a story: it turned out that there was also such a place in their Western Regions, which was called the 'Sea of Death' by the locals, a large lake in the shape of a human ear, hundreds of miles of blue waves, as vast as the sea. Although it is called the Sea of Death, the fish in the lake is very rich, and there is a kind of white fish with delicate flesh and extremely delicious, but the locals have always adhered to a rule that has been passed down from generation to generation, that is, each family can only fish in the lake three times a year, and can only fish on the edge of the lake, and must not enter the depths of the lake.

However, a few years ago, a prince of Loulan, because he was greedy for the delicacy of this white fish, ignored the advice of the local villagers, he personally drove a boat into the lake, accompanied by seven large boats and hundreds of soldiers, into the depths of the lake, but not a single one returned.

Later, the king was so anxious that he sent several groups of people into the lake to find the whereabouts of the prince, but most of them never returned, and disappeared like the prince. Only a handful of people crossed the lake and soon reached the other side of the lake, but they were all delirious and could not ask anything.

Only one of the most intelligent and brave generals has explored the mystery of this lake, although the prince has long been buried at the bottom of the lake, and he has not been able to find the prince, but with the secret of this lake, Loulan has become a powerful country dominating the Western Regions. At that time, many small countries were built along the lake, the general trained a naval army composed of dozens of large ships, known as the "Netherworld", it is said that each soldier's body is wet, as if fished out of the water, and the body exudes a fishy smell, they claim to be the Yin soldiers turned into the soul of the underwater, because every time the general leads the troops into the lake, within a day can sail hundreds of miles, even the world's fastest BMW can never have such a speed, they come and go without a trace, Often suddenly appeared in front of the enemy country, killing the other party by surprise, everyone only thought that they were really the Yin soldiers at the bottom of the lake, where did they dare to resist, a few big battles down, so frightened that the countries were frightened, and they bowed down to Loulan one after another.

It is said that the general, before his death, recorded the secret of this lake on the table of his tombstone, but no one understood it at the time, according to the literal meaning, that is, he has the ability to summon Yin soldiers, and now he has gone to the underworld to continue to lead troops to fight for the country, in fact, this is just a lie that the king of Loulan wants to continue to rule the countries.

A few years later, a monk who passed through this place said the reason, the mystery is actually at the bottom of the lake, this place is an ancient ancient city, the lake was hidden underground, a natural disaster reversed the leylines here, the ancient city sank into the center of the lake head down, the water level of the dark lake under the ground rose, became this ear-shaped lake, the leylines of this lake are naturally chaotic, the leylines will change with the change of tides, and when it comes, the geomagnetic leylines will coincide with the sunken ancient city, completely reversed, obviously want to go east, In fact, it was heading west, and the only way to march was to turn the boat over, and the soldiers on the boat could only breathe by the air bags prepared in advance, and they would be poured into the water to sail, so they would be wet and smelly of fish. And as long as you grasp the laws of this geomagnetic leyline, the speed of the march will be extremely fast, but if you don't know this reason, you will naturally never be able to get out.
