Chapter 191: The Dust of Vanity

In the darkness, Ling Feng and the three of them walked to the end of the stone steps, and a straight black stone path led straight to the castle in the distance. Along the way, the three of them were cautious, but there was no danger at all, which made them even more uneasy.

Suddenly, Wu Di stopped, and his face showed a solemn expression.

Jiao Daren asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Wu Di replied: "The pathfinder and I have lost contact. ”

Earlier, at the beginning of the stone steps, Wu Di released a bamboo bird that could fly on its own, which was what he called a pathfinder. This kind of bamboo bird that has applied the spell moves quickly and has a very keen perception, and can keep a considerable distance from the caster's telepathy, as long as the bamboo bird flies over, the caster can roughly understand the local situation.

Jiao Daren asked, "Is it out of the range of induction?" ”

Wu Di was silent for a moment and replied, "I hope so." ”

A bottomless chasm about dozens of meters wide stretched across the end of the black stone road, and on the opposite side of the chasm was a quaint and strange castle, and the two huge stone sculptures on the left and right looked at Ling Feng and the three of them with contempt as if they were gods.

Ling Feng frowned and said, "I didn't expect that there would be such a huge deep ditch here, how could we get there?" ”

Jiao Daren proposed: "It seems that we can only take a detour. ”

Wu Di shook his head and said, "This is the moat of the castle, I'm afraid it should be a circle around the castle, and it's useless for us to detour." ”

The huge deep ditch was pitch black with no bottom in sight, and Ling Feng guessed that this moat was probably not flowing before, but probably hot lava.

Wu Di sat down cross-legged, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and made several subtle gestures in succession. There are words in the mouth. A moment later, two flickering yellow shadows floated out of the darkness to the left and right. It was the two rune paper figures he released before, don't look at the rune paper man's movements seem to be a little clumsy. But the speed of floating is no less than that of a person running at full speed.

After recalling the pathfinder Fu Seal paper man, Wu Di bit his index finger, imprinted two drops of essence blood on the paper man's forehead, and then pasted the paper man on his forehead respectively, thinking that he was communicating with Fu Seal to understand the situation of the paper man exploring in the dark.

Soon, Wu Di stopped his spell, took the two talismans back into his backpack, and stood up.

Jiao Daren stepped forward. Anxiously asked, "What's going on around?" ”

Wu Di replied: "No danger was found within a radius of five hundred meters, and there was no drawbridge leading to the castle. ”

Jiao Daren said with annoyance: "Damn, isn't this a pit man, such a magnificent castle doesn't even have the most basic suspension bridge, how did it pass in the first place?" ”

Ling Feng smiled: "Maybe you don't need to be extraordinary. ”

Jiao Daren glared at Ling Feng and said, "Even if this castle is inhabited by those stone-carved monsters, since the Taiping army has entered here, how did they pass through this deep ditch?" And even those tall monsters can't all cross this ditch tens of meters deep. That's unreasonable, isn't it? ”

I have to say that Jiao Daren's words make sense, and Ling Feng fell into deep thought.

Could it be that the passage will be at the bottom of a deep ditch?

Soon, Ling Feng shook his head and denied this thought.

Since the deep ditch is to protect the ancient castle, it is absolutely impossible to open the passage in the deep ditch. If so, then it's not a pit man, it's definitely a pit dad!

Wu Di did not speak. After a moment of silence, he took out a box from his backpack. The box contained some white powder. He took out a handful of powder and blew lightly into the palm of his hand. The powder fluttered in the air.

Don't look at this small handful of powder, it actually covered a space of tens of meters in a few minutes, and it didn't sink, but quickly spread around. In the dark, there is occasionally a trace of fluorescence, like fireflies flying in the summer night, but this dust is much finer than the fireflies, and if it were not for the little fluorescence, it would be almost impossible to see these fine dust with the naked eye.

Jiao Daren walked up to Ling Feng and asked mysteriously, "Tiger, do you know what these powders are?" ”

Ling Feng saw an extremely envious look on Jiao Daren's face, as if he was extremely hungry for those powders, and couldn't help but wonder: "I don't know, these powders are very precious?" ”

Jiao Daren said: "This is the dust of the famous vain. A salivating expression, like a pervert seeing a peerless beauty, and a swordsman seeing a peerless sword.

Ling Feng frowned and didn't speak, waiting for Jiao Daren's next explanation.

Sure enough, Jiao Daren said impatiently: "The so-called false dust is the dust that does not exist, it is impossible to see it with the naked eye, and it is absolutely impossible to detect it even with the most sophisticated modern instruments." This secret recipe is unique to the night watchman, and it is said that it was lost more than 100 years ago, and I can't imagine that Ah Ye still has ...... in his hands."

Ling Feng was a little impatient and interrupted, "Let's get to the point!" ”

Jiao Daren said: "The dust of illusion is formless, colorless, and tasteless, like air, and it clearly exists, but it is impossible to perceive, and it is said that it is ...... from the ashes of the left front hoof of the black dog."

Ling Feng really couldn't stand Jiao Daren's words, and repeated: "The point! ”

Jiao Daren smiled, not annoyed, and said: "The dust of illusion can break all illusions, and discover things that some people's facial features can't hear, see, smell, and feel, such as ultrasound, such as infrasound, such as weak energy bodies......"

Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Weak energy body?" What is it? ”

Jiao Daren smiled inexplicably and said, "It's the soul body, which is what people usually call ghosts!" ”

Some scientists have experimented that at the moment of death, people will suddenly lose 0.015 kilograms of weight, and precision instruments have detected an inexplicable energy that will escape from the human body, which is said to be the soul of the human being. There is more than one instance in the world where some people can experience a sudden out-of-body experience when they are on the verge of death, and see a doctor treating them as a bystander.

So there are a lot of people, even scientists, who believe that people have souls.

Since the soul is an energy, there will be highs and lows depending on the person. When ordinary people die, the energy of the soul will quickly dissipate and return to nothingness. However, the energy of some people's souls is very strong, and even when they die, their souls exist in a special form in the world, such as being reincarnated as a living Buddha......

Of course, not all people with strong souls are reincarnated living Buddhas, and not all of them can be reincarnated with memories of previous lives, so some special beings have appeared in the world - soul bodies, which are commonly referred to as ghosts.

The main function of the dust of delusion is to discover the souls that exist in the world. Of course, it doesn't stop there.

The dust of vanity drifted away in the wind, and a huge stone bridge that had never existed faintly appeared in the darkness, spanning a deep ditch, connecting the black stone road and the ancient castle. If it weren't for the fact that the Dust of Illusion would flash an instant of light on the stone bridge, it would be impossible for Ling Feng and the three of them to see the stone bridge at all, which was at the main gate of the ancient castle.

Wu Di walked to the stone bridge as usual.

Ling Feng and Jiao Daren looked at the miraculous situation in front of them with disgust.

Dust of vanity!

Invisible Stone Bridge! (To be continued......)
