Chapter 11: Illusions
"You're a ghost! ”
Xue Xiuli said, and stuffed the yellow and stinky pill into my mouth.
As soon as the yellow pill reached my mouth, I felt a powerful bitter taste that instantly filled my entire mouth, and saliva gushed out of my mouth. Under the powerful and bitter impact, a thick wave of nausea swept up from his throat.
"Swallow the saliva in your mouth and you'll be better!" Xue Xiuli covered my mouth with a small hand and said softly.
With the greatest endurance, I forcibly swallowed a large mouthful of bitter saliva. After the bitter saliva reached my throat, I felt it instantly turn into a cool fluid, slowly flowing into my abdomen.
"That's good. Remember, after entering the woods. Hold on to this little lantern and don't let the branches break it or something. Don't speak out loud, don't swallow the pill, and if you have saliva in your mouth, swallow it gently. Right behind me, tugging at my clothes if anything. Remember, don't go too far with me. ”
Xue Xiuli said, slung the small package on her back, picked up the small lantern and walked towards the woods. It was now dark on the entire hillside, and it was absolutely impossible to see the road ahead. Seeing Xue Xiuli walking towards the woods, I also hurried after him. I wanted to reach out and grab Wang Jiajia's clothes and tell her that I couldn't see the road clearly in this dark night.
Just as I was reaching out to pull Xue Xiuli's clothes, I found that the light blue light emitted by the small lantern was illuminated. Everything in front of me was clearly visible within a certain range. There is only a small area in front of it, but it is unusually clear and indistinguishable from the daytime.
Following Xue Xiuli, I saw her figure directly mixed with the night. I could only see the small lantern in Wang Jiajia's hand, floating alone in mid-air. Looking at the lone lamp emitting blue light in the darkness in front of me, floating alone in the air like a ghost, made me feel terrible. I can't help but think of the scene at the beginning of the fast. Looking at the darkness of the night around me, I felt like an incomparably huge monster was rushing towards me.
I felt goosebumps forming all over my body, and I couldn't help but quicken my pace and hurried forward. Because he was too close to Xue Xiuli who was walking in front, he suddenly hit Xue Xiuli's back. At this collision, I saw two big blue eyes immediately appear in front of me, looking straight at me. Then a cool and soft little hand gently covered my mouth. Xue Xiuli lifted the small lantern, and in the faint blue light, I could see Xue Xiuli's head and face clearly. Xue Xiuli gently made a gesture to me not to make a noise and to keep walking.
As soon as I walked through the woods, I felt the colder and colder it was getting around me. The slightest bit of coldness, like a thin worm, drilled into my body one by one. But as I swallowed the bitter saliva in my mouth, a warm air instantly appeared all over my body, completely swallowing up the slightest cold air that had penetrated into my body. The whole body immediately returned to a warm state. There was nothing else in the woods that disturbed him except the slightest hint of cold. In the dark, I don't know how long I walked, and I hit Xue Xiuli's back again.
"We're going into a ravine ahead!" Xue Xiuli, who suddenly stopped walking in front, looked back at me and said.
I heard Wang Jiajia speak, and I just wanted to speak. Thinking that Wang Jiajia said that he would not let me speak, he looked at Wang Jiajia with two eyes and frowned.
"It's okay, it's okay to talk here. Xue Xiuli said.
"Well, it's suffocating, it's broken, why don't I have the pill in my mouth. ”
"It's okay, it's gone. It doesn't matter, this is a sealed pure land in front of the ravine. Because no yin thing can enter this pure land. We'll take a break here. ”
Xue Xiuli said, sat on the ground, and looked at her as if she was very tired.
"This ravine, the ravine we came to the other day, has only one road in it! it should be much easier to walk than on the hillside. ”
"This ravine is a place of the most yin, and it is night when the two worlds of yin and yang meet, and there may be all kinds of yin objects in it. When you enter it, you have to remember that everything but yourself is not to bother with them, it is your illusion. Just meditate and protect your consciousness and move forward. There is no turning back inside, don't look back, as soon as you turn back, you will be completely exposed, and the yin inside may hurt you. ”
"Got it. ”
"Come and hold this, it's still the same as that pill, don't swallow it. ”
This time, the pill given by Xue Xiuli was slightly larger than the previous one, and the color was black and bright. As soon as I put the pill in my mouth, the fishy, thick and bitter smell almost washed me away. I endured the nausea and vomiting that rushed to the sky, and I couldn't wait to swallow a mouthful of saliva before I suppressed the thick nausea. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, I couldn't feel the fishy smell, but the bitter taste always filled my entire mouth.
"The yin qi here is heavy, so the amount of pills this time is heavier, and the bitter taste will keep people awake. ”
Just as Xue Xiuli turned around and entered the ravine, I saw that Xue Xiuli's sun lamp was not in her hand. Rather, the little lantern hovered in the air on its own, following her like a ghost. Seeing this scene, I was so shocked that I almost screamed, and the bitter pill in my mouth was almost swallowed by me. It's a fake hallucination! But I don't seem to see Xue Xiuli put the pill in her mouth, maybe when she took it, I didn't see it!
Just as I followed Xue Xiuli to take the third step, I felt like I had smashed a thin wall head-on. Then a cold breath rushed towards me, and I felt that my whole body was squeezed by a heavy pressure, as if I had dived deep underwater. Even the air around him became unusually thick, and his breathing became a little heavy and laborious, like drinking cold porridge through his nose.
By this time, the beautiful little lantern in front of me was already a long distance away from me. It's as if all at once it's going out.
"Snow hills, snow hills!" the gentle voice of a little fox daughter-in-law came from me.
How could she be here? No! It's an illusion! Thinking of this, I kept walking.
Horn!
A double finger horn rang in my ears. It's that pretty little nun!
Just as I was about to turn my head, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind. Isn't the little nun dead? How can she still be here? I forcibly controlled my neck, which was about to be twisted. I immediately took a few deep breaths and swallowed the bitter saliva in my mouth.
Under the impact of that heavy bitterness, my mind suddenly cleared up a lot. It seems that in a specific environment, it is really impossible to distinguish whether one's existence is real or in a dream, and will let one's consciousness escape into an environment that cannot be one's own.
It seems that as long as you give a person, a feeling, an ear and a sight, that is a real reality.
I stood there and took another deep breath, watching the pale blue light in the distance ahead and quickly chase forward. Faces with teeth and claws suddenly appeared in front of me. I saw him staring at a pair of blue eyes the size of a bell, floating forward and looking around for something. It's like discovering something delicious.
Looking at the grimace that came straight at me, I didn't know what to do. Just as I was standing there not knowing what to do, I felt a chill all over my body, and I saw that grimace pass through my body at once.
Damn, they are like air to me.
When the grimace passed, I was about to walk forward when I was scared to the ground by the sight in front of me. I saw that in the sky in front of me, there were dense and various, bizarre reptiles and flying insects. When I saw this, I felt like worms were wriggling all over my body. But even where the little lantern lit it, it was all clean. There are no flying insects or anything. It seems to be a hallucination again.
"Snow Hills!"
"Snow Hills!"
As I had walked a little way, I heard two familiar cries behind me. Mom and Dad!How did they get here?
"Snow Hill! Come help your mother! He tripped over a stone and fell and injured himself, as if he had broken his leg. "It's really Daddy's voice.
"Snow Hill, come and help me, it hurts me to death!" came my mother's voice in great pain.
Mom was injured and her leg was broken. No, I'll go back and help her. Just as I turned around, my mind cleared up.
No! It's a hallucination again!
I stopped my body spinning, just when I wanted to turn it back. I saw two blue eyes the size of a bell appear in front of me in an instant, looking straight into my eyes. Two blue bells suddenly appeared in front of me, looking straight at me. I screamed 'ah' in fright.
The scream was not tight, and the bitter pill in my mouth was spit out by me at once. I screamed, and the ghost looked at me with a greedy, satisfied, terrifying smile. As soon as the pill spit out, I quickly turned around and was about to run forward, either to catch up with Xue Xiuli and ask for another one, or to think of other ways.
But as soon as I turned around, I felt that it was not like that, only two cold breaths, which quickly seeped from the ground under my feet into my feet, and then slowly spread up my calves. Now both feet are firmly frozen on the ground. I opened my mouth and just wanted to call Wang Jiajia in front of me, when a cold air hit, and I felt that my tongue instantly turned into ice bumps. Can't make the slightest sound.
There's a pill on the ground that I just spit out, and it might be better to find it. I immediately forcibly bent my somewhat stiffened knee joints and crouched on the ground with a small lantern in one hand. At this time, the cold air in my mouth made my neck stiff and I couldn't bow my head. I had to fumble on the ground with my other hand.
The ground was cool and soft and slippery, and I pressed my palm on the ground and groped for a while. It felt like it was squirming and slippery in the middle, mixed with something soft and sliding. Bugs! There was a thick layer of bugs on the ground! I was so stricken, I instinctively bounced up. The frightening bounce so quickly that I almost dropped the little lantern in my hand to the ground.
I straightened up and saw that grimace was staring at two bell-sized blue eyes, looking a little puzzled at where I was standing. Looking at the way he kept raising his nose there, it was as if he couldn't see me, but only smelled me. Seeing the ghost's appearance, I suddenly remembered that this little lantern could hide my form. It seems that this ghost really can't see me, and he can only feel my breath when I exhale.
Thinking of this, I quickly covered my nose and mouth with one hand and held my breath. At this time, the cold air on the ground had already spread down my legs and almost to my waist. The ghost head sniffed there non-stop, and it seemed that he had no intention of leaving. If I hold my breath like this, I'll suffocate myself sooner or later. I looked at the big ghost in front of me, and my heart was crossed. I'm here today, even if I suffocate to death, I will never be buried in the mouth of this ghost.
After a while, I felt extremely tight in my chest and my head began to fog, which was obviously a sign of lack of oxygen. Just when I was about to hold on any longer, suddenly there was a crisp horse bell in front of me. Hearing the sound of the horse's bell, the ghost's face changed abruptly, and his face was full of extremely terrifying expressions. Immediately disappeared without a trace like lightning in an instant. As soon as the ghost head left, a small soft hand gently took my hand away. A pair of soft lips shoved a fishy, bitter pill into my mouth.
As soon as the pill reached his mouth, he felt a powerful stream of heat instantly scatter throughout his body. The ice-pimpled tongue and frozen stiff legs also began to slowly recover. I saw two big blue eyes in front of me, and I nodded excitedly to her.
"It's okay, it's good to say it now, it's been discovered anyway. Xue Xiuli pulled me down under the cliff on the side of the ravine.
"Oh no! the pill in my mouth is gone, you can quickly give me another one!" I felt that the pill in my mouth was quickly spent.
Just then, the crisp bell of the horse came to us. How could there be horses running in this overcast ditch! As the horse bell came, I saw several tall horses in full armor galloping along the path in the ravine from ahead. On horseback sat a burly samurai in full armor, and in the hands of the samurai, several long banners were held high. The horse's bell is extremely penetrating, and standing there feels like your whole body is pierced by the bell.
There were black holes all around, but these cavalry could see clearly, just like the night here, which didn't have a role in submerging them for any reason. When I saw a dozen fast horses rushing past us, I rubbed my eyes vigorously and looked in confusion in the direction in which the horses had disappeared:
"Damn!Xue Xiuli!Are these centaurs hallucinatory or real!?"
