Zhang Lu suddenly saw the face of the black shadow, and couldn't help but stir Lingling into a cold war. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There are really not many things that can scare Zhang Lu, the key is that this fog has the effect of confusing people's minds, and the black shadow is facing head-on, and it is a strange aura fluctuation that hits Zhang Lu's mind, making him almost distracted. This fluctuation penetrated into his heart, and there were only two words that directly reflected it:

Evil!

In fact, there is no such thing as good or evil in the world, it is just a concept created subjectively by human beings, and what is harmless or even beneficial to oneself is called good, and what is dangerous is called evil. At this moment, too, Zhang Lu instantly felt the extreme danger, so he characterized this black shadow and the aura fluctuations it produced as "evil"!

Of course, what people perceive as dangerous may not be purely animal instinct, but may also be influenced by culture and groupthink. For example, beauty is often associated with good, ugliness is often associated with evil, beautiful things may put people in danger unconsciously, and ugly things can make people instinctively deter - but in fact, beauty and ugliness, good and evil, and even peace or danger cannot be simply equated.

Although Zhang Lu's mind is strong, it is inevitable that he will be affected by similar effects, if the appearance of the black shadow is not ugly, or even completely opposite—for example, no matter how ghostly the body is, but there is a beautiful face—it probably won't feel extremely dangerous. However, the black shadow appeared in front of him, but it was such an ugly face—

The black shadow, as if it were just a cloud-like coat or cloak, appeared at the collar of a head, its color dark gray, like this overwhelming fog. On either side of the skull, rather than above, two ring-shaped bones protruded, and in the bones were a pair of gray-white eyes, as if there were only whites of the eyes, but no pupils. Under the eyes, there is no nose bridge in the middle of the face, but a tentacle more than a foot long extends out, and three tentacles also extend out of the mouth, these four tentacles suddenly coil and suddenly open, and strong aura fluctuations are born from here......

Am I relying on this to be a spirit sucker?!

Psychic Monsters, also known as Mind Flayers, are well-known evil creatures in the D&D system - they are known as "Mind Flayers" because of their superior intelligence, being good at casting psychic blast spells, and even being able to control the minds of other creatures.

Of course, if you look closely, the black shadow in front of you is not the same as the legendary Spirit-Sucker - the adult Soul-Sucker is quite tall, with lilac skin, and has all hands and feet, while this black shadow is only about 1.5 meters, with dark gray skin, covered with a strange black robe, with no limbs, floating in the air like a ghost. The difference between the two is like the "demon dragon" that Zhang Lu has seen and the dragon in the fantasy (or memory) of human beings on the earth, which is plausible.

The Spirit Suction Monster is notorious, but after all, it is a character in a board game, and even if there is a prototype, Zhang Lu will not take it seriously. It's just that the public seems to have an instinctive aversion to tentacle creatures, and gray is by no means a color that can please the human senses, so at first glance, I can't help but be surprised, and my mind is almost taken away.

Zhang Lu instinctively withdrew his sword, and took half a step back, saying in his heart, Isn't this guy my nemesis? You see, even the wind can fight against it endlessly-the reason why it retreats step by step is mainly caused by sensory failure, if there is no thick fog to cover it, it is estimated that the wind may not be at a disadvantage--why Lao Tzu has such tenacious nerves, and boasts that he is not afraid of the illusions of the world, but when he sees it, he almost loses his heart? This is more embarrassing than being confused by the thick fog!

After looking at the other party carefully, and pondering again, he was relieved: he couldn't see far away, the long sword danced, and the spirit sucked the monster...... No, it's hard to get close to the dark shadow, so naturally it won't face each other head-on. It's like asking a blind man, "Are you not afraid of such an ugly thing?" The other party will inevitably answer, "I can't see it, why is it ugly, why is it strange?"

However, it can also be known from this that the aura fluctuations released by this black shadow are the same as the fog that envelops the heavens and the earth, and they all affect the mind through human vision......

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly saw the four tentacles of the black shadow suddenly open, revealing an extremely ugly hole in the middle of it—was that its mouth—and a sharp howl came from the hole. How can you compare this howling sound? It is like scraping a porcelain plate with an iron fork and scratching glass with a hard stone, and then magnifying the piercing sound wave that cuts people's organs a hundred times on this basis......

Zhang Lu immediately felt dizzy - well, not only confusing people's vision, but also confusing people's hearing......

It is no wonder that local residents who are shrouded in fog say that they should close their eyes and cover their ears, which is said to be the only way to avoid mental disturbance. I don't know if the effect of the fog comes from this black shadow, or if the effect of the black shadow absorbs the power of the fog?

Thinking of this, Zhang Lu immediately closed himself off his vision and hearing - closed vision is simple, and it can be done with his eyes closed; as for closed hearing, ordinary people may have to stuff things into their ears and eyes, but Zhang Lu is naturally able to do it under the real air rotation - purely with his mind to take care of external objects, following the direction of aura fluctuations, it is to stab with a sword!

People have five senses to gain five senses: eye perception, ear perception, nose perception, tongue perception, body perception and touch - to put it bluntly, it is sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch, through the five organs to sense external things. Zhang Lu didn't just cut off his sense of sight and hearing, he simply closed off the other three senses temporarily.

Because the fog confuses people, mainly through the nasal cavity, the fog uses breathing to enter the human body, producing a certain anesthetic effect - the so-called confusing mind, there are also factors in this regard, because the senses become dull, and the natural brain does not collect enough information, it is difficult to make correct judgments. At the beginning of the convergence of the dense fog, Zhang Lu instinctively closed his breath - with his current state, it is not difficult to hold his breath for a cup or two of tea - and since his breath is closed, his sense of smell naturally loses its effect.

But Zhang Lu once opened his mouth to call out to his companions, and the tip of his tongue touched it, as if there was a slight tingling sensation - even the most acute taste gourmand probably couldn't detect it, but the master of the selfless realm only needed to concentrate on it, and he could sense all kinds of fine particles in the air - even if he knew it, this fog was poisonous and could paralyze people's nerves to a certain extent.

Of course, this little bit of toxin has no effect on Zhang Lu at all, and even the illusion-like effect hidden in the fog that confuses people's minds is basically dissipated as long as he shoots two talismans. But at this moment, fighting against that black shadow, the slightest difference in body may affect the outcome of the battle, Zhang Lu simply closed the five senses, isolated the five senses, and only sensed the surrounding environment with his heart.

Buddhism talks about the "eight consciousnesses", in addition to the first five consciousnesses of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body, the sixth consciousness is called "consciousness", the seventh consciousness is "mana consciousness", and the eighth consciousness is called "alaya consciousness". What exactly does the latter two mean, Zhang Lu has not studied Buddhism systematically, so he is completely unclear, and he is now closing the five consciousnesses to explore the external world, which can barely be regarded as the sixth consciousness - consciousness.

Consciousness is not only the overall control of the first five senses, it is responsible for discerning the things obtained by the five senses, but it can also isolate the five senses and operate autonomously. That is, when you can't see the color, don't hear the sound, don't smell the nose, don't taste the tongue, and don't feel the touch, you can still perceive various factors in the outside world to a certain extent. Of course, it is not possible to achieve sufficient results without long-term practice, and ordinary people may be able to discover the hidden dangers—the so-called "intuition", "sixth sense", and so on—but only the cultivator can make consciousness partially replace the function of the first five senses. According to Zhang Lushimen (Pei Xuanren, An Qisheng), this is called "contemplating with the heart".

This sword was handed out in the "Mind Looking", directly taking the black shadow's exposed mouthparts, almost at the same time, the wind over there suddenly felt a light pressure, and instinctively tilted the sword slightly outward, chatting as an attempt to attack instead of defending. Under the two pinching blows, the black shadow suddenly flew backwards, and the long sword of the wind fell into the air, but Zhang Lu's "Xuan Ting" momentum continued to break through the air.

The sword was carrying a strong wind, and the surrounding fog was all stirred, and the black shadow hurriedly gathered the four tentacles, but it was still a beat slower, and the tip of the tentacles in the middle of the sword tip was silent, and the dark gray skin burst open, splashing out a few points of thick slurry.

As soon as the black shadow turned its head, its tentacles expanded, its mouthparts were exposed again, and there was another sharp howl, but for Zhang Lu, who had closed his hearing, it could not have any effect at all. Zhang Lu's "Xuanting" sword was slightly retracted, and then handed it out again, and the black shadow did not dare to hit its edge directly, turned around and fled.

Zhang Lu did not hesitate, and chased after him with his legs. The range of "contemplation with the mind" is not wide, only a few feet, which makes it difficult for him to run at full speed, but even so, the speed at this time is very unattainable. But the shadow flew faster, and the distance between the two gradually narrowed......

Suddenly, Zhang Lu stopped, not only because the black shadow had finally floated out of the scope of his "mind-looking", but more importantly...... He couldn't hold his breath. So he stopped for the time being, put away his sword to defend himself, and at the same time slightly let go of his five senses, and took a long breath.

After a brief opening of his vision, he let go completely, for he found that the fog was gradually fading, and a glimmer of dawn was faintly visible in the distance. Looking up, a towering wall gradually emerges from the mist......

Suddenly, Zhang Lu instinctively sensed the existence of danger again, and hurriedly twisted his body and took half a step back. Almost at the same time, a fierce wind struck from the side, and the silver light pierced the fog that was gradually dissipating, slashing at the place where Zhang Lu had just stood—of course, slashing into the air. But this swift and ferocious blow suddenly stopped halfway through, and the blade, which shimmered silver in the glimmer of dawn, stopped at shoulder height with Zhang Lu, and the blade was pointing at his right arm, less than five centimeters away!

Zhang Lu saw it clearly, it should be a two-handed sword, the sword body is wider than his palm, the spine of the sword is about two fingers thick, the length from the tip to the grid is more than five feet, three-quarters of the front is open, and the quarter of the blunt blade can also be held. The hilt of the sword was a foot and a half long, and it was held in a huge hand, and when it looked up along the wrist, elbow, and arm, the mist gradually dissipated, revealing a giant.

Zhang Luxin said that this person has a lot of strength, holding such a heavy sword with one hand, it is not difficult to run like the wind, and when its momentum is not declining, he can stop in mid-air, and if he talks about wrist strength alone, I am afraid that even he is not as good as himself...... You must know that Zhang Lu's own physical fitness is not very good, but now that he has entered the realm of selflessness, his body and mind have been initially refined, and he can already seduce the qi of heaven and earth, whether it is strength, sensitivity or endurance, all aspects of physical functions are comparable to extraordinary people. It's like the "Six Dragons" of the same level as him, so that a hammer is no less than a hundred catties, and it can still run like the wind, which has to rest on the earth, even if it is poisoned, no one can do it!

The person on the other side who made a two-handed big sword said that he was a giant, but in fact, he was only a few points higher than Tang Liyu, and he died two meters two, which is not out of the category of a normal person, and he can hold the big sword in the air with one hand, and his skill is absolutely extraordinary. Zhang Lu thought to himself that if he had a hard confrontation with him, although his "Thunder" sword was extraordinary, it was likely to be damaged, as for people...... People can move, so why should they fight with giants?

If you really want to knock hard, let alone this two-handed sword, he can't even hold Tang Liyu's fist.

The giant sword pointed at Zhang Lu, his face was gloomy, his mouth was wide, and his voice was like a bell: "Who are you?"

Zhang Lu pouted: "I don't know who I am, you come up and cut with a sword?"

"You dodged it anyway. ”

"And what if I can't dodge?"

"Then my sword won't hurt you. ”

With the other party's wrist strength and proficiency in sword movement, Zhang Lu believed that this sentence was true, but even so, coming up to give a sword first had the meaning of prestige, which made Zhang Lu very unhappy after all. He was about to use some trick to give the giant a good look, when he heard another voice sound from behind the giant: "Your Excellency is also here to support Gray Mist City, and you want to save the daughter for the city lord, right?"

At this time, the fog completely dissipated, and the surrounding scenery became exceptionally clear in the dawn glow. Zhang Lu looked at the other party carefully, and saw that it was a group of four people, the first giant was red-haired and blue-skinned, bearded and halberded, wearing a heavy armor, the chest was metallic, and the shoulder pads, shawl, and battle skirt were made of leather. The giant held a two-handed broadsword in one hand, a warhammer at his waist, and a fur shield on his left shoulder.

The second man was of medium height, slightly thin, with long black hair tied up haphazardly behind his head, and a crystal lens in his right eye. The man was dressed in a long, wide-sleeved robe, with a sword hanging from his waist, six or seven leather bags, and...... A book?

The third person was also of medium stature, seemingly the longest of the four, with gray hair and beard, a very low hairline, and signs of baldness. The man was dressed in leather armor, carried a small shield on his left arm, and carried a pointed scepter in his right hand. The most conspicuous is the crimson eye-like pattern painted on both the cuirass and the shield.

The fourth is the person who sent a message to ask Zhang Lu, with a long body, blonde hair fluttering, handsome and chic, like a wind. The man was dressed in ornate leather armor, a fiery red cloak, a short sword at his waist, two bags of feathered arrows, and a composite bow painted with gold and silver in his hand.

Zhang Luxin said that I was dizzy, it was really D&D...... It's not a standard four-person mission team!(To be continued.) )
