When I stopped to look back, Shi'er was still walking forward quickly, and by this time he was already three or four meters away from me.

I ran two quick steps to catch up with him.

In January of the solar calendar, most parts of the country are in the cold winter, but the local minimum temperature is still maintained at minus seven or eight degrees, when in the village, the ground can still occasionally see scattered yellow leaves, but the old Wu Mountain in front of you can be in the days when everything should wither, imprison the last breath of spring.

The firelight illuminated the grass on the ground and the leaves that passed me, and I found that the leaves reflected the oil with the breath of life, but the oil did not make people feel as pleasant as spring green, but had a greasy feeling of lingering.

I don't know why, but I always felt like the mountain was dying, but for some unknown reason, it was still struggling to hold on.

Reaching the deepest part of the woods, Shir suddenly stopped, raised his torch aloft, causing the flames to dance a meter or so above his head, then turned around and made a silent gesture towards everyone.

I kept staring at the light of the fire above Shi'er's head, there was no wind in the forest, but the flames in the sky seemed to be disturbed, and they shook wildly, and soon the bright outer flames became very dim, and only the blue inner flames were still beating.

Shi Er slowly crouched down as he held the torch aloft, his back pressed against the night, his side face pressed against the ground, his neck slightly extended, and his eyes seemed to be staring ahead.

After a few minutes, the torch in Shi'er's hand suddenly shook a little, and his body seemed to lose control, and he trembled twice, after which the flame on the torch suddenly became extremely bright, and on the other side of the forest, there was a low sound.

It was a "buzzing" sound similar to the vibration of insect wings, and at first this sound came slowly to my ears from directly in front of me, but as the frequency of the sound became stronger and stronger, I felt as if the sound was coming from all directions, and in the shadows of the surrounding trees, it seemed as if countless sound sources were slowly coming towards us.

I felt that something was not right, so I immediately blessed my vision with the Concentration Technique, and in the quicksand of the Qi Sea, I saw a Yin and Yang Great Qi slowly gushing out of the soil under our feet along the ground.

This great qi first slowly ascended, and after reaching the top of our heads, it condensed into a cloud of qi at a very fast speed.

My eyes moved with the clouds, and I saw it slowly drift to Yoda's side, and Yoda seemed to feel something, and his body immediately trembled.

After that, Qi Yun slowly moved in front of Li Huaishan again, with Li Huaishan's cultivation, he would definitely not be able to see this Qi field, but he still shifted his gaze by surprise, glanced at Qi Yun, and frowned fiercely.

Qi Yun left in front of Li Huaishan, slowly fluttering in the air, and finally came to my side.

Even in the field of vision of the quicksand of the Qi Sea, this cloud is in a translucent state, and there should be nothing in it, but when I stare at it, I can vaguely feel that something is hidden in the clouds, silently observing me.

At this moment, a chaotic Qi field rushed out of my dantian and quickly surged all over my internal organs.

Speaking of which, this strange and unexplained Qi field can be regarded as my old friend, since I walked with Wu Lin in the broken space, it has been lurking in me, and whenever I encounter a crisis, it will run out to save the scene.

Now that it had reappeared, I immediately realized that the crisis was looming, and I found the Nether Treasure as fast as I could.

As soon as I took out the Nether Treasure here, the Qi clouds that were entrenched around me immediately dissipated, and even the humming sound that came from all directions disappeared at the same time.

As soon as the clouds and humming sound disappeared, my mental power was also scattered, and the Concentration Technique could no longer bless my vision, and the scene of the quicksand of the Qi Sea passed away in front of my eyes like a handful of yellow sand blown away by the wind.

As far as I could see, only the small half of Li Huaishan's body remained, the light of the fire shining from nearby, and the shadows of the trees in the distance.

I glanced towards Shi'er, only to find that Shi'er had already stood up straight, the torch in his hand had been extinguished, and the moonlight passed through the dense shadows in the forest, projecting right on the top of the torch, through this moonlight, I could still vaguely see a few wisps of green smoke slowly rising.

Shi Er sighed, turned his head and said to me, "You will take the lead on the road ahead." As long as we keep moving forward, don't deviate from the direction, if the direction is messed up, we won't be able to get out. ”

With that, Shir put away the extinguished torches and walked quickly to the end of the procession, taking over from the Joda.

I watched Shir walk into the distance, and he stood behind Yoda, and my eyes fell on Yoda.

I saw Yoda raise his chin at me: "Go on, if all four torches are extinguished, you can take out Awu's token again." ”

I nodded, turned around, and continued walking.

At this time, the chaotic and calm Qi field still covered every meridian on my body, and as I walked, I felt that my inner breath became more and more stable, and this chaotic Qi field seemed to be silently nourishing my lungs and every blood vessel.

Probably because it was too comfortable, the soles of my feet gradually entered a state of complete relaxation, and it didn't take long to be unable to feel the soft touch from the contact between the soles of my shoes and the weeds, and there was no feeling under my feet, which may have caused my movements to become more and more strange, Li Huaishan, who was walking behind me, couldn't help but shout: "If you are not, are you okay?" ”

I carefully identified the road ahead, and as I walked, I replied, "What can I do?" ”

Li Huaishan: "You look weird, like a ghost." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yoda whispered to us behind us, "Try not to speak." ”

Li Huaishan closed his mouth at this time, and I deliberately controlled my pace to make my movements look normal.

After coming out of the forest, it was a very long hillside, and when I looked out from the forest, the hillside was reflected by the moonlight into the color of ice, but when I came out of the forest, the moonlight turned a faint purple, and even the grass and trees on the hillside seemed to be wrapped in a thin purple veil, which looked extremely unreal.

There was no wind in the woods, but the wind on the hillside was strong, and the flames fluctuated rapidly in the agitation of the wind, and I felt a strong chill in the wind, and the flames became weaker and weaker under its destruction.

"It's over, mine is gone!"

Li Huaishan shouted behind me, and I immediately looked back at him, and saw that the torch in his hand had been extinguished, and the green smoke on his head was rising, and almost the moment I turned to look back, Yoda's torch was also extinguished.

"Quick, put away your torches." Yoda quickly put away the torch, first said this to Li Huaishan, and then said to me: "If your torch is also extinguished, put away the torch first, and then take out the arrow, the action must be fast enough." ”

I looked up at my torch, and the flame above my head was only a small seedling, and the wind was still pressing on us, and the flame that was swaying from side to side in the wind was about to be extinguished.

At this moment, a Yin Yang Qi burst out from the ground, and even without using the Concentration Technique to bless my vision, I could feel that this Qi field condensed at a very fast speed after rushing out of the ground, and then quickly floated onto my torch.

The flame, which was about to be extinguished, immediately became vigorous, and in the blink of an eye, the fire was already raging overhead, and no matter how disturbed by the strong wind, this strong flame only floated slightly on the outer edge.

I pointed to the flame on the torch and asked Yoda, "What's going on?" ”

Yoda stared at a pair of eyes with an expression of disbelief: "The ancestors on Old Wu Mountain are protecting you. ”

Shi Er also had an excited look on his face: "This shows that the past generations of Bimo are willing to accept you, and they are willing to light the way forward for you." Can...... How is this possible, you are obviously an outsider......"

As he spoke, Shier's lips trembled.

Li Huaishan pursed his lips: "Normal, if it weren't for the yin, he and the wandering spirits on the mountain belonged to the same country, and they couldn't be regarded as outsiders." ”

Because I'm yin, the spirits on the mountain don't stand in my way? Definitely not like this, I noticed it when I blessed my vision with the Concentration Technique just now, there are no ghosts on this mountain at all, and the two Qi clouds that appear in front of us are derived from some kind of strange power deep underground.

I think the reason why my torches have not been extinguished is not because I have a shady identity, but because of the chaotic flame that is spreading in me.

But until now, I still can't figure out why this Qi field is entrenched in me, let alone what it represents.

While I was pondering this, Yoda raised his head, looked at the crescent moon hanging in the night sky, and said to me, "We need to hurry, in another hour or two, the ghost cave will be gone." ”

I didn't dare to delay any longer, so I immediately raised my torch and marched down the hillside.

The wind was still strong, and a few of us went upwind, but the torches on our heads were still strong, and the bright light of the fire illuminated the way forward.

Follow this road all the way, and eventually reach the top of Laowu Mountain, as we climb higher and higher, a faint mist begins to appear in the mountains, and looking up along the slopes, you can see a large thick purple coiled on the top of the mountain, which is a fog deposited on the top of the mountain, and the moonlight rushes into the depths of the fog, so that it is dyed.

An hour later, I carried a torch into the mist, and the thick fog was dispersed by the flames, and a straight mountain path gradually appeared in front of us.

At the end of the road was a black hole made of stones, the left side of the hole had collapsed, and the ground around it was littered with huge stones of irregular shape.
