"Strange," Lu Fei muttered as he carefully observed the Huangguo forest in front of him, "There seems to be a clear air in this forest. ”

Yue Xueshan wiped his sweat, looked at the compass and said, "This place is claustrophobic and turbid, how can there be any clear air?" He turned his head to look at Lu Fei, "This must be the yellow fruit forest in front of the single-plank bridge where the ghost demon appeared." ”

Lu Fei shook his head lightly when he heard this, "The yin qi in this place is heavy, but there is indeed a faint clear qi, and my feeling will not be wrong." ”

"Could it be the strange treasure that the blood puppet is talking about?" Yue Xueshan suddenly said, "So the blood puppet really didn't lie to us. ”

Lu Fei straightened his backpack and frowned: "It's hard to say, this aura is very weak, it seems to be about to dissipate, if it is the breath of a strange treasure, it stands to reason that it should not decline to this point." ”

"Anyway, let's go in and see!" Yue Xueshan looked around, "It's just that the forest covers the sky and the sun, and the nearby mountain terrain can't be seen at all, I'm afraid it's difficult to identify the direction." He looked down at the compass again, and sighed, "There is a strange magnetic field nearby, and it is impossible to use the compass to locate it, and this old forest tree has many branches, I am afraid that there is no light of day inside, and even the watch positioning method cannot be used, not to mention that there are mountain spirits and old ghosts inside..."

Lu Fei nodded, "I have to think of a reliable way." As he spoke, he took out a cyan charm from his cuff and threw it into the air, and the spell spontaneously ignited and turned invisible, and a black shadow suddenly appeared on the edge of the woods not far in front of them, and after a few moments, it disappeared into the forest.

"Old Lu, this is another ghost talisman, right?" Yue Xueshan stared at the shadow tightly and asked Lu Feidao.

Lu Fei said: "Well, the third-level one, it's not good to fight, but it's clever enough to find the way and have two brushes, let's send it to us first." ”

The two of them sat down to rest, waiting for the pathfinder to bring back news.

Just when Yue Xueshan had almost begun to doze off, Lu Fei suddenly stood up with a solemn expression.

"What's the matter, Lao Lu, there's news?" Yue Xueshan wiped the saliva from his mouth.

Lu Fei shook his head and said, "My little ghost has been killed." ”

"What?" Yue Xueshan also stood up, "The old ghost in the forest is so angry? ”

"No, it was wiped out by the Dao Law." Lu Fei replied, "There are your own people in this forest!" ”

Yue Xueshan's eyes widened in shock.

"How is this possible?!" He looked at the Huangguo Forest, "Who would be in such a hellish place?" Could it be that any of the peers also heard the wind and wanted to subdue this demon who was the party to the disaster and eliminate the harm for the people? ”

Lu Fei said, "But that person seems to be injured, and I suspect that the clear qi I felt just now came from him." ”

Yue Xueshan pinched his chin and said, "It seems that this person is also not good at Taoism, otherwise how can he not even see that your little ghost is driven by someone and not a lonely soul?!" ”

"He may be in a very dangerous situation," Lu Fei said, "In a panic, there is no distinction between friend and foe, it seems that we must go into the forest as soon as possible to support, otherwise he will definitely be cold." ”

As he spoke, he took out two yellow scarves, and took out a bottle full of water, and looked closely at the water, which was mixed with a lot of gray-black suspended matter, and he didn't know what it was. I saw Lu Fei dip his hand in some water, and painted some runes on each of the two yellow scarves, so he handed one of them to Yue Xueshan and said, "This scarf can avoid miasma, quickly tie it to the mouth and nose, and you can use blood to paint a heart purification mantra on your forehead." ”

Yue Xueshan took the square scarf and immediately bit his index finger and began to draw on his forehead according to what Lu Fei said.

Lu Fei put on a square scarf, but took out a roll of red silk thread from his bag, and wrapped one end around his little finger, and the other end around Yue Xueshan's little finger, only to see him snap his fingers, and the silk thread burned in response to the sound and burned out in an instant, but it did not cause damage to the fingers of the two.

Seeing that Yue Xueshan's face was full of doubts, he explained: "It is very likely that we will be separated after entering the forest, so I just made a Gu spell, you can rest assured, it is harmless." This is what I learned from walking in Miao Village two years ago, the silk thread is made of refined Gu worm spider silk, once it wraps around the fingers, it will leave a special breath, and I can find your traces at any time with Gu worms. ”

Yue Xueshan also tied a square scarf, but his face was a little strange, he glanced at Lu Fei several times, but he didn't ask after all.

His previous impression of Lu Fei was just a peer friend who specialized in magic, the two were like-minded and had a common language, and they had also eaten a few times together, studied and worked together a few times, and knew that he did have some real skills. But only this time when he encountered a strong opponent like a ghost and demon to work together, did he discover that this Lu Fei was really a bit mysterious, not only was he possessed a natural treasure like the lightning strike jujube wood, but he was even familiar with the treacherous and changeable Southern Xinjiang Gu Technique.

After he fainted in the Gao family villa that day, what happened, Lu Fei's explanation was also quite vague.

Just thinking about it, Lu Fei had already walked towards the Huangguo Forest first, and said as he walked: "Keep up, turn on the flashlight, put on the deerskin gloves, and don't touch the trees in the forest." ”

Yue Xueshan responded, so he had to take a deep breath and cheer up and follow.

The two of them walked into the woods for a while, and then realized that the forest and the outside were completely two worlds. The old trees in the forest are everywhere, the leaves are as big as wheels, the trunks are thick, and more than a dozen people can't hug them, as if a group of giants spread their arms and swallow up the skylight. Dead branches and leaves have been rotting and accumulating for a hundred years, making the ground simply soft and difficult to walk, and there are swamp smoke bubbles from time to time.

Even more deadly is the pale green poisonous miasma, visible to the naked eye, coiled in the air, and enveloped by trees, like a huge lid, turning the forest into a humid, hot, and terrifying steamer.

Lu Fei cautiously walked in front to lead the way, driving away swarms of mosquitoes from time to time. Yue Xueshan didn't have time to speak, and while trying his best to stay within five steps of Lu Fei, he wanted to avoid those strange flowers and plants with strange shapes and smells, and it didn't take long for him to feel a little tired.

Lu Fei stopped from time to time, lowered his head and closed his eyes, as if sensing something.

The two walked for about half an hour before they came to a relatively empty clearing in the forest. Although it is an open space, it is actually full of thorns and vines, snakes, insects, rats and ants appear from time to time, and the surrounding Huangguo giant trees are also taller.

What is striking is that there are several huge stones in the center of the clearing, which have strange shapes, but have long since lost their original appearance due to age, and are covered with moss and mushrooms, which seem to be one with the trees.

Lu Fei stopped beside a rock, closed his eyes and began to feel again.

"Old Lu, it's so evil here." Seeing that he had stopped for a long time this time, Yue Xueshan finally had time to breathe, and said, "The forest I saw at the single-plank bridge the day before yesterday is definitely not so big. This forest looks like it is definitely a primeval forest, as if it has been isolated from the world for hundreds of years, but although the surrounding areas of Baiyun Town are remote and backward, there is no such place as this, right? ”

Lu Fei didn't say anything, but was silent for a while, before he opened his eyes and replied slowly: "A foreign object like a ghost and a demon is never born in an ordinary place, maybe this place is hidden by it with magic, in order to isolate itself from the world and prevent it from being destroyed by external forces." ”

"If it really has this ability, it will be bad," Yue Xueshan said, "We may not be able to do it." ”

Lu Fei nodded, frowned, and said, "I think the source of the Jiao River must be in this yellow fruit forest, and the single-plank bridge where you met the ghost demon is not where he is." He paused and said, "My little ghost is scattered in this place, and the yin qi here is very heavy, I'm afraid it's weird." But the strange thing is that the Qing Qi is relatively strongest. ”

Yue Xueshan took a posture when he heard this, "It seems that our friend is trapped here." ”
