353 Mountains in the Shadows (1)
With the help of the old man, Jidao successfully returned to the ground and buried the woman's body, he did not know her name, so he did not erect any tombstone.
When he saw a deep pit in front of him return to the ground, Jidao felt a trance in front of him again, and then, the female ghost appeared in front of him again.
It's just that this time the two don't meet as enemies again.
She didn't know what to say when she saw Jidao again, but her mouth squirmed slightly, but she still didn't say anything.
Looking at the beauty in front of her who was a little uneasy because of guilt, Jidao naturally understood what she was doing like this, yes, no matter how many years she was trapped here, she still had the consciousness of a person.
She was naturally here to thank him for being able to save herself from that predicament, but he would do it whether he was thanked or not, so he didn't care about these things.
"Needless to say, everyone has their own reasons, and if I had been trapped here for a thousand years, I would probably be like you. ”
She nodded lightly, although Ji Dao said so, but if people can get rid of their emotions from a sentence, then people can't be called people.
"Can you tell me your name?"
Ji Dao was stunned for a moment, this sentence seemed familiar, not long ago, it seemed that another person had just asked him this question.
Yes, names, remembering a person's name is sometimes quite important.
"Extreme. ”
She nodded, repeated, and continued:
"Jidao, I will always remember this kindness. If there is a reincarnation and an afterlife, it will be rewarded!"
She didn't know what to say. In fact, she also knows that these retributions are empty words, and with the afterlife, it is impossible to have the memory of the previous life, otherwise the world will be chaotic.
Jidao smiled and nodded, although she was a person thousands of years ago, in his opinion, his mind was still only in his teens and twenties.
When this female ghost is about to disappear, Jidao has one last question to ask, although it is not easy to speak:
"Do you remember how you died?"
But she just shook her head:
"I was supposed to rest in the deepest part of the cavern, but I didn't react when I died, and I didn't have any idea what the means were. ”
As soon as the words fell, this illusion collapsed in an instant, and he also understood that her soul should have been summoned somewhere.
Jidao had examined the white bones, and there was no blunt force wounds, so she shouldn't have been killed with a sharp weapon when she was unprepared.
In addition, except for those fatal circumstances that are beyond common sense, there is only poison, but what poison can kill her without anyone knowing?
Jidao naturally kept this situation firmly in mind. Although a thousand years have passed, it does not hurt to be careful in this place.
。。。。。。
In the face of the old man's help, Ji Dao and Qian Xuan were naturally sincerely happy, and in addition, they also accepted the fact that the governor of the church was also in this team.
Although they don't know what his purpose is, and this governor always gives people an unfathomable mystery, they have to take one step at a time.
The team of four people just headed inside.
At the bottom of the valley is a black mountain that cannot be seen at a glance, and Jidao stands on top of a cliff and looks at the overlapping shadow mountains in the distance, and there is also a sense of vicissitudes rising in his heart.
It was a place where the sun did not shine all year round, and there was a thick white mist in the mountains underneath, making it difficult for him to see what was going on inside.
The only thing that can be seen clearly is the pitch-black mountain in the distance, and the shadows one after another, like ghosts overlapping, give people a strange and gloomy feeling.
Jidao sometimes even has the illusion that this place, as if it has a life of its own, is like a merciless trap, waiting for one prey after another to come.
The road ahead is treacherous, and there is the uncertainty of the Governor. Jidao immediately decided that this journey was destined to be full of difficulties and obstacles!
Seeing that everyone had gone down the mountain, towards the shadow land, Jidao took one last look at his whole picture, and slowly descended the mountain.
In the dense forest at the bottom of the mountain...
Qian Xuan was carefully observing the tree species here, the tree species here were extremely single, and it seemed that the same kind of trees constituted this entire dense forest.
Although it is possible to recognize that the number here is the same species, they all have different appearances, some of the trunks are twisted together like twisted flowers, while others are extremely straight. But one thing they have in common is that their bark is extremely smooth, so smooth that there is not even a bit of friction.
The old man was squatting next to a white skeleton at the moment and stared at it stunned, this was a member of the team when they first entered here, but unfortunately they stayed here forever.
Looking at his shattered skull, the old man resounded some of the past, when a monster with a hideous appearance of a wolf-faced snake body directly bit off a piece of this companion's head in one bite, and finally killed it with their combined efforts!
He sighed, then returned to the group.
And at this moment, Qian Xuan's research also has the answer.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this plant is supposed to be a mutant species of the Stygian cypress, and I can't name it now, but one benefit is clear, this tree can absorb life from living organisms and transform it into dead air. ”
"No wonder a bunch of people felt a little uncomfortable the last time we came here, it turned out that this kind of tree was playing tricks!"
"Yes. It is said that the cypress is a plant that only grows in the cemetery, and its own yin qi is extremely heavy, and this mutant species does not know how it mutated, but its influence on the monks may be even greater. According to my preliminary inference, even if you are a monk, you can only exert 80% of your strength here. ”
Several of them frowned, and there were no monks who lived only in fantasy. It may seem like only twenty percent of the stats are weakened, but they all understand what that means.
This may mean that your extreme strength has dropped by 20 percent, and it is this 20 percent that there is a bunch of extra things that can kill you!
"And we can't stay too long, this tree will gradually absorb life, even though we are monks, the effect is negligible. But staying in a place with a slight sense of death for a long time still has a huge impact on us. We must not be here for more than two months, otherwise it will have a huge impact on our future cultivation!"
