Chapter 33: Into the Valley
The moment I crossed the gorge, the scene around me and the first two glances changed inadvertently.
Only this time.
The mountain is still the mountain, and the water is still the water.
It was no different from Wuling Gorge in the real world, but Ning Xiu clearly confirmed in his heart that he had entered the world of illusion.
What's even more bizarre is that Ning Xiu found that this time he was still wearing his own clothes, no identity, no hints, everything was blank.
The other seven people also disappeared, leaving Ning Xiu alone standing in place.
He looked up at the endless darkness in front of him, smiled, and plunged headlong into it.
......
Night enveloped the entire forest, and the occasional sound of insects chirping one or two made the silence of the forest even more apparent.
Ning Xiu walked forward alone.
An hour, two hours......
He was still in the woods, and it was dark in front of him.
The darkness is full of dangers of all kinds, each of which is deadly, and if you get lost in the jungle, if nothing else, hunger and thirst alone can kill you!
Ning Xiu stopped, looked at the camphor tree marked by him beside him, and muttered in a low voice: "Is the ghost hitting the wall......
In the past two hours, Ning Xiu had already done a lot of experiments, and he was sure that he had been dragged into the illusion they had created.
Ning Xiu took out four evil spirit-repelling talismans, placed them in the four directions of his southeast, northwest, and northwest, and at the same time pinched the Dao recipe in his hand, and shouted in a low voice: "The Emperor Xuanwu is in front of him, the gods return to the temple, the ghosts return to the grave, the demons and monsters return to the mountains and forests, and the Xuanwu True Monarch is as anxious as the law." ”
"Broken!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw the four bright yellow talismans rising without wind, flying away in four directions.
The talisman burned, lighting up the entire night sky.
When the light dissipated, Ning Xiu found that he was still standing at the entrance of the gorge.
Looking at the row of footprints in front of him, he frowned slightly.
"It's been spinning in circles from the beginning?"
"Looks like it's out, okay, we can go. ”
A familiar voice came from behind him, Ning Xiu looked back, only to see Yu Sasha and Luo Ziqing were all there, it was obvious that they had also encountered ghosts hitting the wall, and he was the last to come out. It was understandable that the person who specialized in cultivating the Dao Fa came out earlier than him, but he couldn't figure out why those martial artists like Qiu Wanli would also get out of the ghost wall earlier than him.
......
"There's something wrong with this illusion. Yu Shasha said.
Everyone nodded, which Immortal Fantasy Realm would be like this, full of ghosts, but no one had any intention of giving up.
Blessings and misfortunes depend on, and misfortunes and blessings depend on.
The word blessing and misfortune is the most difficult to divide a real qualitative line for it. There may be a great opportunity hidden behind the great crisis, and the path of cultivation is to go against the sky.
People don't walk fast, but they definitely don't walk slowly.
But I walked all night, until the morning light was slightly white in the distance, and I still didn't get out of the forest.
They just walked tirelessly.
But when night fell again, everyone still couldn't get out of the forest.
Everyone had no choice but to stop and rest, and without water or food, no one knew how long they could last. Even if they can get out of this forest, everyone is completely uncertain.
And when night came, they felt that there was a pair of eyes in the forest watching them.
Under the high level of tension, everyone lost confidence in their judgment, and even began to wonder if they were still in the middle of a ghost.
"What the hell is this place, let alone a person, I haven't even seen a ghost after walking for so long!"
The yellow-haired boy Wu Tao complained in a low voice, not paying the slightest attention to the darkness, a snake had quietly crawled behind him. And as if he had a long eye behind his back, his right hand stretched out like lightning, and grabbed the snake that was ready to sneak attack at any moment.
Ning Xiu happened to see this scene.
Wu Tao's movement finally attracted everyone's attention, only to see him chuckle and say, "Hehe, there's finally something to eat." ”
Then he was in the horrified eyes of everyone, and directly bit the green snake seven inches in his hand, and the red blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.
It's actually drinking snake blood raw!
"Now I'm finally more energetic. Wu Tao threw aside the green snake in his hand, which had long since lost his life, stood up, and said with a smile.
"Alright, let's keep walking. Rest assured, my array is not responding, so we haven't fallen for illusions like ghosts hitting walls. I feel like it won't be long before we can get out of here. Zhou Chengman, who was wearing a Taoist robe, glanced at the compass in his hand and spoke.
In fact, there is no need for him to say, everyone also understands that they can only move forward.
Because there is no other choice at all, retreating will only be more dangerous and terrifying!
At this moment, a light suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes.
The light is always moving.
When they got closer, they found an old man carrying a lantern.
The lantern swayed in the wind, and the old man, though old, stood there like a stone statue, motionless.
The light shone on his face, a pale face, which looked particularly eerie and terrifying in the middle of the night.
"Are you lost in the forest?" asked the old man, looking at the crowd and grinning his yellowed teeth.
Everyone glanced at Zhou Chengman, who nodded without a trace.
"Husband, we are indeed lost, and we don't know how to get out of this forest. Yu Shasha asked.
"Come with me. ”
The old man lifted the lantern and turned to walk forward.
Whether to go with the old man or not is a question that everyone has to face. Even if Zhou Chengman signaled to everyone that the old man in front of him was not an evil ghost, if he was a normal person, would he appear in this forest in the middle of the night for no reason?
Ning Xiu did not hesitate at all, and immediately followed. Yu Shasha followed, and the rest of the people also followed when they saw this.
Even if some people are reluctant to go with this old man, they don't want to be left alone.
"You're glad you met me, you know that this forest eats people. The old man spoke as he walked ahead.
"Did the old man say that there are man-eating beasts in the woods, we are not afraid, and if we meet, who will eat whom?" Wu Tao said with a smile.
The old man glanced back at Wu Tao and chuckled, "What the young man said is that there are not only man-eating beasts in this world, but also people who eat beasts, and people who eat people. ”
"But I'm talking about the fact that this forest eats people......"
After saying this, the old man walked forward without looking back.
No matter how many doubts everyone has, they have to hold it in their hearts.
Originally, Ning Xiu thought that the old man would take them to the legendary Taoyuan Township, but in the end he found that he was wrong.
Looking at the hut that appeared in front of him, the doubts in his heart deepened.
