Red Lotus took the moonlit night to say goodbye to the Nine Tribulations and Wang Qi, and left Kongtong.

On the way, Linglong asked, "Auntie, where did you hide that little self illusion?"

Honglian said: "It's not far from our Mingyue Mountain. ”

Linglong grinned and said, "I'm finally going home!" Mingyue Mountain, the beginning of tomorrow, the night of the bright moon, these three names are so coincidental!"

Honglian couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, it's really a coincidence." ”

Yueye said: "It seems that the master gave me this name presciently, but at first glance, I thought that I was the same sister as Mingchu. ”

Linglong smiled: "No wonder the two of you get along so close in just one day." ”

Honglian instructed: "At the beginning of tomorrow, he is a descendant of the Tu Shan clan, and he doesn't have anything to do with the righteous path, so it's better not to get too close." ”

Linglong snorted: "You are just prejudiced against the beginning of tomorrow, especially the old people!"

The moonlit night stroked her head and smiled: "I agree with my delicate child on this point. ”

Linglong opened her hand and said angrily, "Which one is your Linglong child?"

The road was calm and speechless, and two days later, the three of them came to Mingyue Mountain.

Linglong asked Honglian, "Auntie, shall we go home first?"

Honglian shook her head and said, "No need, let's get closer to the place where the ego illusion is buried, you can see ······."

She pointed ahead and said, "Right there, the ego illusion was buried in the valley opposite. ”

In a moment, the three people came to the mouth of the valley, and saw that the valley was more than 20 zhang longitudinally and horizontally, the four walls were steep, slippery and unclimbable, the grass and trees did not grow within a hundred zhang around, the birds and beasts were not seen, the valley mouth was flowing clouds and flying mist, misty, and did not know the depth of the valley bottom.

Linglong exclaimed, "This place is so sinister!"

Honglian said: "This is the place of the four uniques, you must be more careful everywhere, and you must not act recklessly." ”

The moonlit night was puzzled: "Senior sister, what are the Four Absolute Lands?"

Honglian said: "I don't know very well, there are clouds in physiognomy that it is said that the gold and wood are the four uniques, and it is called the broken emptiness here, and it is also called the broken dream void, each with its own cloud, and the saying is different." ”

Yueye was confused, nodded blankly, pretended to understand, and said, "Are we going down?"

Honglian said: "Yes, you listen to my orders, don't walk around, so as not to be in danger." As he spoke, he took out three red lotus flowers on his fingers, and each of them stepped on one and went down the valley.

When the ground fell above the clouds, the cyan lotus flower under their feet suddenly withered, and the three of them immediately fell rapidly, completely unable to use the Dao method to improve.

Fortunately, the red lotus has been prepared for a long time, and three cyan lotus flowers have been drawn, and they are divided into their feet.

The moonlit night changed color and said, "What the hell?"

Honglian comforted her and said, "It's okay, this is the end of the fire, and the wood should be alive." ”

The three of them were submerged in the clouds, Linglong was full of infinite curiosity about all unknown things, and immediately became excited, feeling that the clouds seemed to be tangible, and the flow was faintly like wisps of silk scraping the skin, so they grabbed it in the east and fished it in the west, and had a lot of fun.

Honglian noticed her abnormal movement and whispered, "Don't play around!

Yueye smiled: "It's not fun to catch a few snakes then." ”

Linglong stopped when she heard this, although she was not afraid of snakes, but if she really caught a monster, she would inevitably be frightened.

Honglian said: "This valley is the four uniques, and there are no grass, wood, insects, ants and other things······

As he spoke, he had already passed through the clouds, and as soon as he passed the clouds, the wood was exhausted, and the cyan lotus under his feet instantly withered.

Red Lotus hurriedly pulled out three green lotus flowers for the three of them to stand on.

There were no clouds, the line of sight became clear, and Linglong looked down and found that she could already see the situation at the bottom of the valley.

Due to the rapid flow of clouds and mist, the valley floor was reflected in the light and dark, and the shadows came and went like thousands of troops catching and killing.

In a moment, after experiencing the four potentials of gold, wood, water, and fire, the three of them landed on the ground.

Looking around, the bottom of the valley is only three or five zhang square, as far as the eye can see, there are black, white, red and yellow four-colored pebbles everywhere, and it is extremely desolate.

Yueye asked, "Senior sister, there are big rocks everywhere here, where is the ego illusion buried?"

Honglian said: "Dingtian was afraid that I would be in danger back then, so he didn't let me come down with me, and I don't know where it is, but there is only such a big place in total, it shouldn't be difficult to find." ”

Linglong said: "I'll go find it!"

Honglian hurriedly said: "Don't worry, our mana will be limited in the Four Absolute Lands, so don't act rashly, if something happens, I am afraid that our strength will not be enough." ”

The trio looked down and looked at the path beneath their feet, hoping to find some clues.

The moonlit night muttered: "Where is the stone in the ground, where is there any ego illusion? Doesn't it mean that it is buried in the ground, nine feet, nine feet, and nine inches?

Honglian said: "Dingtian is a thoughtful person, he will definitely leave some clues, because he said that he would come back to check the changes in the ego illusion." ”

At this time, I suddenly heard Linglong shouting, "Auntie, look at this stone." ”

Honglian and Yueye hurriedly walked over, and saw Linglong squatting next to a large white stone and tilting her head and cheeks to watch.

The red lotus also squatted down to look closely, and found that this stone was indeed a little different from other stones, it was also oblong and oval, and the others were lying flat on the ground, only it stood straight up there and looked very abrupt.

The moonlit night didn't see anything famous, and said with a smile: "Linglong, isn't it the same as other stones? There is no engraved mark, and there is no color difference, and it is also worth your stupid look?"

Linglong stood up and said angrily: "Little aunt, I'm helping my aunt look for it very seriously, even if it's not a clue, I'm doing my best, instead of praising me, you are laughing at me!"

As he spoke, he kicked the stone down.

Honglian was thinking about the stone, and it was too late to stop it, and reproached: "Telling you not to act rashly, you just don't listen." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the chaotic sound of "bone and bone and bone" in all directions, mixed with the friction sound of "rolling".

The three of them were startled, turned their heads to look around, and saw that the pebbles all over the ground were rolling in their direction, and under their feet, the center of the stone was sinking rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, it became a funnel shape, and all the stones rolled down into the funnel.

Red Lotus exclaimed: "The ground is sinking!"

Holding the moonlit night and Linglong's hand, he flew up in the air.

When they got up in the air, they found that their mana had really decreased greatly in the Four Absolute Lands, and they finally rose seven or eight feet high, and they had a feeling of lack of mana at any time, and there was an extremely strong invisible suction from the funnel, and they would be sucked in if they slackened a little.

The three of them barely floated there holding hands, and the moonlit night said nervously: "Oh no, senior sister! I feel like I'm going to be unable to hold on, it's such a big suction!"

Honglian was also a little flustered, and said, "Hold on! Otherwise, if you fall down with the stone, you will be seriously injured if you don't die!"

Linglong said excitedly: "Auntie, I know, the ego illusion must be below, and the stone I saw is where the portal is!"

Red Lotus is trying her best to conjure up a lotus flower to support them, but unfortunately she has failed three times in three attempts, and she has no intention of understanding her at all.

At this time, the funnel is getting bigger and bigger, and there seems to be a bottomless pit below, and the large and small stones are swallowed by the whale but cannot be filled, and the impact of the stones makes a loud rumbling sound.

As the funnel expanded, the suction power was gradually increasing, and the body of the moonlit night sank downward, and she let out an "ah" and shouted, "Oh no! I can't support it anymore, I'm going to fall!"

Honglian hurriedly grabbed her and tried to drag her back, but before the two of them could exert their strength, they suddenly felt that their bodies could not be controlled, and they fell involuntarily, and as those stones were sucked into the funnel.

The three of them barely managed to protect their bodies with their weakened mana.

They fall at the same speed as the stones, so they are not hit by the stones, but fall in parallel with them without disturbing each other.

Linglong raised her foot and stepped on a large pebble, her arms spread, she felt like flying, it was very pleasant, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the speed of falling down by stepping on this thing is slow, and it flutters like a feather." ”

The moonlit night also stepped on a stone like her, but there was no feeling of fluttering, and she still felt that she was falling rapidly, but she did not get farther and farther away from Linglong, and always maintained the same distance, so she asked: "Linglong, why do I still feel fast?"

Honglian also found a pebble to stand on, and immediately felt that the speed really slowed down suddenly, and felt very strange, and said secretly: What's going on? Why is Linglong and I slowing down, and the moonlit night still feels fast? As soon as she thought of the word fast, she suddenly felt that the downward speed had become faster again, but it was just a feeling, not really faster than Linglong and the moonlit night.

Honglian tried to imagine that the speed would slow down, and sure enough, the speed slowed down again, she suddenly realized, and said to the moonlit night: "Senior sister, as long as you think about slowing, you will naturally slow down." ”

The moonlit night tried according to the words, and when it was really the case, she wondered: "Why is this happening?"

Red Lotus said: "This is the illusion of the Void World, just like the trick we used, but this is made of the Heavenly Dao, which is unbreakable, indestructible, and irreversible." ”

Yueye said again: "But senior sister, you said that the ego illusion is nine feet nine feet and nine inches underground, and now we have fallen more than a hundred feet, where is the ego illusion? Is it a mistake?"

Red Lotus said: "The Land of the Four Absolute Land is a strange space, and it is said that time is very slow here, so you think that there is already a long distance, but it is not that far. ”

The moonlit night was confused again.

Suddenly, Linglong shouted, "Look there!"

Linglong saw that there was a bright light shining in Ye Ye below, and hurriedly pointed it out to the red lotus.

I saw a vertical stone pillar not far away, the stone pillar stretched down endlessly, I don't know how long, and at the top was placed a transparent bead, the size of a fist.

Honglian said happily: "Yes, this is the ego illusion, it turns out that Dingtian put it here." ”

The three of them floated down to the stone pillar, and said on a moonlit night: "It's only nine feet, nine feet, and nine inches from the top? ”

Linglong also said: "Auntie, did the blood bat go out from here?"

Honglian pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go in and take a look." As he spoke, he held the ego illusion in his hand, and with a flick of his right hand, the white light of the ego illusion flashed, and the three of them were swept in.

The interior of the ego fantasy is infinitely large, I think it was the color of the mountains and waters, the waterfalls and springs, the plants, trees, birds and beasts are all available, it can be described as ethereal, the fairyland of the world is general, it is the treasure of Ding Dingtian's cultivation, from the congenital, created in the day after tomorrow, the great heavenly thunder seal is also obtained here, the reason why he got the enlightenment avenue, most of it is due to its gifts, but now it is the grass and trees withered, the spiritual things are nothing, and the water is dry and the spring is dry.

Red Lotus revisited the hometown, but he was in no mood to reminisce about the past, reminisce about the old feelings, and his heart hung on the giant tree, and he came to a cliff.

In the distance, the three of them had already seen a strange giant tree, all black, with layers of branches extending endlessly, but now it seemed to be dead, and there were no more balls that were densely packed with them.

Honglian sighed: "Sure enough, those bats are no longer there, it seems that the blood bats in Zhaojia Village are them." ”

Yueye said: "Was this tree originally born in the ego illusion?"

Honglian shook her head: "It grew out of nowhere, and no one knows where it came from." ”

When they came to the bottom of the giant tree, they saw that the hole the size of a millstone was still there, and the darkness was bottomless.

Linglong looked down, but was stopped by Honglian: "Don't get close, Dingtian was almost trapped in it back then, which shows that the danger below is abnormal." ”

Red Lotus looked up at the giant tree again, and said to herself, "I don't know when this tree died, but it has shrunk a lot. ”

The moonlit night also looked up, but found that there was a red spot at the root of a branch far away, because the trunk was black, so it was very obvious, so he showed it to the red lotus and Linglong.

Since it was not really visible from a distance, the three of them climbed up the branch and went closer to see.

Beneath that branch lay a red bat the size of a finch in the foothills.

Linglong exclaimed, "Oops! Blood Bat Ancestor! It's not dead!"
