"Xiaolong, don't be nervous, it's me." A person came out of the forest behind him, and it turned out to be glasses.

I asked curiously, "Glasses, it's you, why are you here?" ”

"I still don't feel at ease when I think about it, many people have more efforts, so don't you just come over." The glasses smiled and replied, "What's the matter, did you find out?" ”

"The magnetic field here is extremely unstable, all positioning systems are out of order, and it seems that we can only rely on experience. Nothing else was found. I looked at him and replied.

Beichen passed by both of us, "Come in, follow closely." As he spoke, he walked into the woods, followed closely by me and my glasses. We walked slowly on this rugged and intersecting mountain road, and after more than an hour of hiking, a stone tablet with the words "Lost soul, strange in the strange, enter the inside, it is not easy to survive" appeared in front of us.

We stepped forward to observe this stone stele, which was engraved with Han Li, and it seems that there was already a legend about the Lost Soul as early as the Han Dynasty. 凼 (dang, four sounds) refers to the meaning of puddles and ponds. This place is a depression in Wawu Mountain, shaped like a huge puddle, dark and damp all year round, with lakes and swamps.

We crossed the stele and found that it seemed to divide the inside and the outside into two worlds. Since we entered, the humidity had become heavier and heavier, and in a short time there were dew-like droplets on our clothes, and every step I took felt like walking on muddy ground. We walked on these winding trails for half a day and didn't see any way out.

Originally, I thought that the experience of Aokigahara's trip to Jukai would help us break through the Ecstasy, but I didn't expect it to be like that at all. The mist of the sea of trees in Aoki Hara is formed by the accumulation of yin qi, which can be broken by the yin and yang technique, and it does not pose a big threat to a master like Beichen. Ecstasy is different, it is very humid, more like a natural formation, like a huge labyrinth, people get lost in it, and eventually die of physical and mental exhaustion.

Beichen waved his hand to signal us to stop, squatted down and looked at the dead leaves and mud on the ground, "The terrain here is very peculiar, it is a natural gossip ecstasy, and there will be miasma at noon. "I looked at the mechanical watch, and at 11:40 p.m., we had been walking for more than two hours.

Because I had prepared in advance, I knew that this place would not have a great impact on mechanical watches, so I abandoned the electronic watches I usually carried, and it seems that I have made the right choice. "It's less than an hour until noon." I said.

The glasses looked a little scared: "What to do, what to do, we seem to be lost." ”

"What's the panic, it's not the first time I've encountered this situation." I looked at him with some dissatisfaction.

Beichen motioned to me, I took Xiaotian out of my backpack and touched its head, "Xiaotian, don't scream, be quiet." Go find us your way. Xiao Tian lay on the ground and sniffed around for a while, wagging his tail and running towards a mountain road. We followed all the way, Xiaotian turned around, seemingly chaotic, but in fact there was a certain pattern, and after a while, it took us to a clearing.

There were a lot of stones of various sizes randomly placed in the clearing, and I was about to take a look at them, when a white mist rose from the place where we had just walked. "Miasma!" The glasses screamed in fright, and Beichen replied calmly: "It's okay, we're out of range." ”

I was a little dissatisfied with the glasses, "What's the matter with you kid, I'm surprised." The glasses also realized that they had lost their temper and smiled wryly. I said to Beichen again: "I didn't expect Xiaotian to have this ability, I would have brought it out more if I knew it, and I didn't have to be so troublesome to take those forks in the road." ”

"The tengu is a natural being, and this place is a natural ecstasy, so it will feel something. Most of the artificially arranged formations are not perceptible to the tengu, and they will only instinctively dodge. Beichen explained.

"I see, no wonder you don't always bring it with you." I suddenly realized, "That, Xiaotian, where do you go now, it won't come to an end, right?" Since Xiao Tian arrived in this clearing, he began to bark again, and he did not take a single step forward.

Seeing Xiaotian's strange appearance, I began to look around vigilantly. In addition to large and small stones, there is almost no grass in the clearing, and the ground is clean and eerie. It's like there's some kind of prohibition here, cut off from the outside world, and even the pervasive miasma only floats around the periphery, not a single centimeter enters it.

"Yi Nan, what kind of formation is this?" I asked warily left and right.

Beichen closed his eyes, as if he was feeling something. Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and the originally chaotic stones seemed to be alive, and they combined themselves into a stone giant about three or four meters high. I saw his hands and feet, his head was at the same time, and with every step, there was a vibration on the ground.

"Damn, the stone is fine. Yi Nan, how can you deal with this thing? I shouted as I dodged.

Beichen opened his eyes violently, jumped on the stone giant's back in a few leaps, and stabbed him with his sword a few times. Although the Qingyang Sword was incomparably sharp, and the rubble kept falling under Beichen's stabbing belt, the stone giant seemed to have the ability to regenerate, and as long as it passed through, large and small stones were absorbed into its part. After a while, it became almost a meter larger.

"The eye is its lifeline." Beichen has been thrown off by the stone giant, and he is constantly dodging at this time. I saw that it was not possible to go on like this, even if I didn't trample to death, I would be exhausted to death. My head raced, "Yi Nan, listen to my command in a moment." Glasses followed. I took out my flying grab, beckoned my glasses to wrap the rope around Golem's legs a few times, and the three of them pulled back with all the strength they could.

The stone giant pulled down after the three of us pulled down with all our strength, but it didn't work, and I shouted, "Xiaotian, come and help pull the rope!" "Xiao Tian also went up and bit after recovering Tengu Mazu just now, but he had nowhere to bite this monster made of stones, even if it was iron-toothed and steel-toothed.

With Xiao Tian joining, the stone giant's body finally began to lean back, and I shouted, "Yi Nan, go and put it down." Beichen went around the front a few more times, kicked the stone giant in the front chest a few times, and the stone giant, who was already a little unstable, fell to the ground with a bang, and I rushed up quickly and stabbed it with one eye.

The golem's monoagre shot out a fleeting red light, and the golem's body began to disintegrate, turning into a pile of rocks again, stirring up a puff of smoke and dust. We waved our hands, "What just happened?" I asked, with a sigh of relief.

"The art of stone forming, there are Taoist masters who have been here." Beichen replied.

I wondered: "Have Taoist masters been here?" Could it be Xu Fu? ”

Beichen shook his head, "This is an ancient thaumaturgy that has been lost, not left by him. "I thought to myself, that's weird, we all came step by step according to the clues given by Xu Fu all the way, is there anything else I don't know?

Glasses said: "Don't worry about this for now, what should you do next, you can't stay here forever." ”

As I was about to speak, the scene in front of me changed for a new time, and a column about a meter in diameter and about half a human height appeared in the smoke and dust that had dispersed. The whole cylinder is white, carved with four spirits: phoenix, lin, dragon and turtle. The top is a strange beast that has never been seen before, its shape is really strange to the extreme, the head is like a dog and has horns, the body is like a lin but has tiger claws, looking up for a long time, as if looking forward to the return of people.

Let's take a closer look, the cylinder should be made of the best Hetian white jade, such a large piece, the ancients are really bold. "Where do I think I've seen it?" For some reason, seeing this strange beast gave me a familiar feeling. Beichen stared at me for a moment, and finally sighed as if disappointed.

"This is the dragon, also called Wangjungui." Beichen replied.

I was stunned for a moment, "Kick the dragon, hope for the king's return?" I don't think I've heard of it. Suddenly, a spirit beast that even immortals feared was flashed in my mind, "It can't be a fierce beast, right?" ”

The glasses were also obviously stupid, and shouted: "No, who put it here?" ”

It is commonly known as roaring at the sky, roaring towards the sky, and kicking the dragon. Legend has it that its power can reach the sky, and it can fight three dragons without defeat, and it is said that it is the first zombie between heaven and earth to cultivate, in short, and so on. For its miraculous stories, it is no less than these mythical beasts of the four spirits and five phases, and even more and more peculiar.

"Yi Nan, what does it mean that this venerable statue appears here, and what kind of mechanism is it?" I asked.

Beichen lowered his head and groaned for a while, and asked, "Xiaolong, have you ever been to the capital?" ”

"Beijing? Oh, you said it's Beijing, you've been there, what's wrong, there's a problem? "I wonder how to mention Beijing at this time.

Beichen ignored my question and continued to ask, "There is a stone in front of the city tower, where is it facing?" ”

I thought about it for a while, and there were indeed two stone slabs on the Huabiao in front of the Tiananmen Tower, "It seems to be the south!" I replied. Beichen looked at me with a smile, I clapped my hands, and finally understood, but then I was worried again, "But there is no sense of direction here at all, which side is the south?" ”

Beichen raised his hand and pointed to the upper right, I suddenly understood, and slapped my head heavily. During this time, I have really been with Beichen for a long time, and some of the yin and yang five elements and Tai Chi gossip are a little rusty.

Just now when we entered here, there was a stone giant, and the mountain and stone were of the same origin, indicating that it was a Gen position. And now this jade is facing us, in the exchange position, its upper right is the dry position, that is, the south, its opposite is the kun position, the north, the so-called heaven and south and earth north is this principle.

With this figured out, I fumbled around the white jade cylinder, and sure enough, there was a device that could rotate. I called for my glasses, and the two of them began to turn the jade so that its head was facing south. At the moment when we let go, the earth seemed to tremble, something was emerging from the ground, and the miasma in front of us was all gone, and I opened my mouth wide with my glasses, looking at this incredible magical landscape in front of me!
