Smugness, fear, hesitation, utilitarianism, resentment...... Too many emotions can make us lose ourselves, let go of many obsessions, and embrace our true selves

- Ouyang was ashamed

"Understand your respective abilities" The old-timers stared at a few of us and said slowly: "Knowing ourselves and knowing each other, knowing each other may not be able to do it, but we must at least have a little understanding of our own people, so as to facilitate action, no matter how deep or shy your respective abilities, you must make it clear to me"

The three of us immediately understood what he meant, and Dan Er said first: "My Changping Seal Outbreak seniors have already seen it, this is the Zhao family's housekeeping skills, although the juniors are not good at learning, but now it can only be like this, in addition...... A friend of my father's "Speaking of this, Dan Er glanced at me, I probably guessed that he was talking about my father, so I heard him continue: "A friend of my father's taught a little sealing charm, and the younger generation has learned it superficially, so I'm afraid it won't be useful."

The old-timer nodded, and looked at Wu Zhen again, Wu Zhen chuckled and said: "Specializing in illusion and possession control, and ...... other" Wu Zhen also glanced at me when he said this: "In this world, I am considered immortal"

"Hehe, that's new" The old-timer stroked his beard with a smile, and then turned to me again, I panicked and stammered, "I...... This, speaking of which, it seems, it doesn't seem to have any expertise" Then he looked at Dan Er and Wu Zhen, and said embarrassedly: "You know, I'm a novice who has only been 'in the industry' for a short time."

The old-timer shook his head and said, "Then what are you doing here?

My face was hot, and I felt that I couldn't get off the stage when I was said, but Wu Zhen on the side said for me: "He is extremely talented, I can possess him and stimulate his potential, or I can say that he can't do anything, or I can say that he can do anything."

The old-timer was skeptical, and suddenly he was stunned, as if he remembered something, and then said: "So the cooperation between the two of you and me last night was really good, okay, let me briefly talk about the next arrangement."

Hearing this, the three of them hurriedly stepped forward, and the old man said in a low voice: "In the march for a while, I will be the vanguard, and the son of the Zhao family will drag behind slightly, in order to reduce the goal, this girl will possess this young man next, and the ...... My old man is confused, I don't remember if you introduced, what are your two clan names?"

Wu Zhen and I saw the old-timers staring at us and asked, Wu Zhen immediately reported his name, and I was about to report Qianyang's family name, but Dan Er suddenly interjected: "His name is Yang Zhao"

I was stunned for a moment, thinking that I didn't ask for the clan number, but since Dan Er had already told me for me, and besides, it was my real name, I didn't speak again.

"Okay, Miss Wu Zhen and Little Brother Yang Zhao, the two of you will be dragged to the end by one person" The old-timer continued to arrange: "If you encounter an accident on the way, no matter how many opponents there are, use me as the main force to deal with it, the son of the Zhao family can interfere with the formation from the side, but don't fall into the center of the battle, if the momentum is not good, maybe there is hope to get out"

"Seniors, but do you think I'm greedy for life and afraid of death?" said Dan Er with some displeasure.

The old-timer waved his hand and said, "No, no, don't get me wrong, the son of the Zhao family, the key reason is that the old man is good at group injuries, if you get too close, it will make it difficult for me to let go of my hands and feet, after all, among the few of us, we still have to take the old man as the core, right?"

Dan Er nodded hurriedly: "That's nature, that's nature"

Seeing that Dan Er had been recognized, the old-timers immediately looked at me and Wu Zhen and said: "When encountering an opponent, you must be cautious to lurk in the outermost part of the situation, and act at the opportunity, if the two sides are evenly matched, you can surprise at the critical moment and break the balance, if the opponent's strength is too strong and there is a huge difference, you should not show up, in order to evacuate unconsciously and avoid increasing casualties."

Wu Zhen smiled disdainfully, looked at me and said, "In this world, you are always underestimated"

I naturally understood that Wu Zhen's sentence was based on her grotesque Nine Domains remarks, in which I seemed to be some great character in the other world, but in this reality, although I had experienced absurd changes, I was far from being a general, a god of war, or even nothing at all.

The old-timer didn't know this, he only heard Wu Zhen's disdain, so he emphasized: "This is not the time to be a hero, if you survive the crisis, it will be of great significance to the clansmen who will be rescued later, at least they can learn some information about the opponent from you, so that they will not be clueless like us."

"Okay, okay, just listen to you," Wu Zhen replied nonchalantly.

"Very good, the stakes are high, since you have decided to save people, then you can't wait, let's go!"

The old-timer said, turned around and jumped up, rushing into the woods behind him, Dan Er followed, Wu Zhen stuck to my body, followed Dan Er from a distance, the sound of the gurgling stream behind him gradually faded away, until it disappeared, and the woods in front of me gradually filled with a layer of mist.

This forest seems to be as deep as the vast sea, several people in the forest for a long time, but never found anything, as the sky darkens, the fog in the forest is getting thicker and thicker, the group is like falling into the sea of clouds, the journey is becoming more and more difficult.

Finally, the surroundings were already dim, the old-timers and Dan Er in front stopped, Wu Zhen took me forward to inquire about the situation, only to see the old-timers show a naughty boy again, scratching their ears and cheeks and saying: "It's too bad, there is no trace of it, we can't find the opponent, no matter how much effort we have, we have nowhere to go, and ......" The old-timer said halfway through his words and took it back.

"And what?

"This ......," the old-timer seemed a little embarrassed to say, "Actually, I wanted to take you back to the place of departure just now, but ...... But I can't find it."

As soon as I was nervous, I hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What do you mean...... We're lost?"

"This is the realm of the Hongyuan clan, how can you ......" Dan Er also asked a little puzzled.

"Maybe we've already met an opponent," the old-timer whispered.

While talking, the old-timer suddenly put on a posture, seeing this, Dan Er also became nervous when he saw this, leaning on the old-timer vigilance, without waiting for me to move, there was a strange cooing sound above his head, everyone looked up, only to see a black shadow in the fog rushing down, the old-timer was about to step forward to shoot, but Dan Er stopped and exclaimed: "Wait!"

Stunned for a moment, the black shadow silently but quickly passed through the fog, suddenly spread its wings, and landed steadily on Dan Er's shoulder.

"Ghost owl, did you bring it?" the old man asked puzzled, looking at the bird that had obediently landed on Dan Er's shoulder.

I looked closely, wasn't this an owl? Two round eyes were shining, and they looked at us back and forth with their furry heads.

Dan Er smiled and shook his head, "I almost forgot about this stubble, we still have a helper"

I was puzzled, and the old-timer frowned and asked tentatively, "You mean...... That spike that followed you last night?"

Dan Er nodded and said, "It's not wrong, it's his ghost owl, but I don't understand how he left the master to find us alone"

As we spoke, the owl suddenly flapped its wings and flew off the shoulders of the two eggs, circled over us, and glided slowly forward.

"Keep up with it, you must have found it," Danji urged and rushed out, followed by me and the seniors.

A few people chased after the owl all the way, and after a while, seeing it land on the branches of a big tree, the three of us immediately leaned over and looked around, this place seemed to be no different from the rest of the forest, and after walking in the same environment for a long time, the difference between the surroundings had long been lost.

Dan Er stepped forward to take a closer look around the big tree, and suddenly squatted down and picked up a bush of grass, and beckoned us to come over.

"It's the mark he left behind," Danji said, pointing to a fluorescent pattern in the grass.

"What does this mark mean?" asked the old man eagerly.

I saw Dan Er shake his head and said, "Looking at the content, it seems that I haven't finished it, is it ...... Oops!"

Seeing that Dan Er was suddenly nervous, I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm afraid that he has already encountered an accident, otherwise he would never let the ghost owl leave his master, and he would only have made half of the mark," Dan Er said with an anxious face.

"Isn't this secret nail the best at silent tracking? How can it be so easy to expose?" The old man said puzzledly: "You fought with me last night, this secret nail has been lurking around for a long time, with the sensitivity of me and my brother, how can it be so easy to encounter accidents?"

"That's right, he's the best at silent stealth tracking" Dan Er looked around vigilantly, and then said: "After we fought last night, it seems that he already knew that this was a misunderstanding, and then he didn't go to the stronghold with us, but first followed the traces of Hong Yuanshou's predecessors, and he got here, but I don't know what happened, even he was exposed, so that the ghost owl broke away from the master, and even the mark of guidance was only half done"

Speaking of this, the three of them looked at each other speechlessly, and after a moment of silence, the old man asked, "Then what does this unfinished mark mean?"

Dan Er frowned, and said with a puzzled face: "It's half a sentence, which probably means 'the same ...... as the moon' is gone."

"Duyue?, the big Duyue family?" asked the old-timer.

Dan Er nodded and replied: "Yes, it refers to the Duyue clan, which means this, but what is the same as Duyue? What is the same? I haven't finished writing, I can't understand it."

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the surroundings were already foggy, the old-timers and Dan Er bowed their heads and thought for a long time, but they never came to a conclusion, and the old-timers had to say helplessly: "It seems that we can only get here today, we are lost now, and the clues here can't be solved for a while, this place is full of dangers, can this ghost take us out of here first?"

Dan Er nodded, waved at the owl standing on the branch, and the little fluffy thing landed on his shoulder with a wing.

"Take us out," Danji said, waving at the owl on his shoulder. Seeing the little guy moving his paws back and forth on Dan Er's shoulder, but he didn't get up to lead the way, Dan Er sighed and said with some disappointment: "It has tried many times, but it can't leave this forest."

"What? Owls get lost?" asked the old-timer in disbelief.

"If we are already in the other party's realm, I am afraid it will not be so easy to get out of here," Wu Zhen said through my mouth.

Wu Zhen's mention made everyone fall into silence immediately, and after a while, the old-timer said confidently: "There must be flaws in any realm, there is no perfect barrier, everyone must have confidence, let's first figure out the situation of this enchantment, how big is the scope of the realm, keep in formation, follow me"

The old-timer said, jumped out, Dan Er hurriedly followed, Wu Zhen also urged my body to keep up far away, the three of them went all the way forward in the fog of the night, the trees next to them whirred backwards, but there was no new scene around, never out of this forest, I don't know how long I traveled, I felt that my physical strength was really unable to keep up, it was late at night, and I was a little hungry in my stomach, and I was trying to say if I could stop and rest, but I suddenly saw Dan Er and the old-timers stopped.

"How, what's the ...... Did you find it?" I asked, panting, leaning forward.

"We're back to where we started," Danji said, pointing to a bush beside him.

I looked closely, and under a big tree, there was a strange pattern in the grass, which was where we had set out before, but I clearly remembered that the road was going in a straight line just now, how could I go around in a circle and return to the original point? The legendary ghost hitting the wall?

The old-timer said calmly: "It seems that this is a circular realm, every time we reach the border, we will be led to the boundary at the other end, and walk back again, so it seems that according to the speed and time we have just traveled, the range of the realm is at least more than twenty miles."

"Circular Realm?" I asked, confused, "What do you mean? We'll never be able to get out of here?"

"The circular realm is the space where the boundary is folded in half, and no matter how we go, we will be reintroduced to the other side of the opposite side when we approach the boundary, thus reciprocating in the boundary," Danji explained.

I said in a daze, "Then there's still no way to get out of here?"

"Jing Yue!" I suddenly blurted out, and it was Wu Zhen who said through my mouth: "Jing Yue is an absolute straight line in space, which can break through the boundary of the circular realm."

Dan Er also seemed to look at the old-timer in a sudden realization, but he shook his head and said: "The other party has obviously expected this, the scope of the circulation realm is so wide, the old man has never seen it in his life, the caster is by no means idle, it is not easy to teleport a hundred meters with a mirror, and the range of dozens of miles, no one can do it, besides, ......" The old-timer said with an embarrassed face: "The old man is not good at this technique"

Hearing this, Dan Er also scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "This...... Neither will I."

"We can," Wu Zhen said through my mouth, "It's only a few dozen miles...... It's too exaggerated to do it."

"Yes," the old-timer said with emotion, "And don't forget what we're here for, even if we can get out of here, we still can't save people, we just run away!"

"It's strange to say," Dan Er suddenly said in a trance: "We've been going around here for so long, why haven't we seen the other party come out to attack us?" Could it be that Hongyuan's predecessors and Chopping Jade are just trapped in this realm?"

"That's what worries me the most," the old man sighed, "With my brother's strong spirit and my familiarity with him, if he were here, I could feel it, but there was no trace of his presence in the realm. In addition, another way to break through the realm is to subdue the caster, but now we don't even know who the opponent is or where to hide, this realm seems to be empty and only us are in it, and if we continue like this, we will be exhausted."

As I was talking, there were a few grunts, it was my hungry stomach protesting, and I was busy clutching my stomach in embarrassment and said, "Just now...... Just ran a little in a hurry."

"Okay, let's rest for a while, and then find a way slowly" The old-timer said and sat on the ground, took out a few small bottles from his arms, and threw them to me and Dan Erdao: "Then, firewood bone powder, eat it all, you can activate your essence, and you can maintain your physical strength without eating or drinking for a short time, but I only brought enough for a few of us to use for two days, and this thing can only be used for two days, otherwise it will seriously overdraw our physical strength, if we can't leave here in two days, let alone save people, I'm afraid we will not be able to protect ourselves."

Listening to his words, I looked at each other, and then sat down on the ground among the weeds, and then looked at the small bottle, which seemed to be completely insufficient to stuff between my teeth, but there was no other way but to pull off the stopper, and take a sip with my head up.

"After resting for a while, we will continue to search in the realm, circulating the realm, the caster must be in it to maintain the connection of the boundary, finding him is not only our hope to save people, but also the only way for us to save ourselves now" After the old man finished speaking, he sat on the ground and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Listening to the words of the old-timers, I am afraid that this experience is really unlucky. At this time, Dan Er sat there with his head down, muttering words in his mouth, listening carefully, it turned out that he was still muttering the half of the puzzle: "The same as the moon......?" What is the same?"

I had no idea of any use for the present situation, so I threw away the empty bottle and sat bored, and it was a strange thing to say that this little bottle of stuff was really strange, and soon after I ate it, I lost the hunger in my stomach, and I sat there more and more energetic, and it felt like this thing was like a stimulant?

"Boy, what's wrong with you?" the old-timer asked with concern when he saw that I looked sad.

"No, I don't know, my arm suddenly hurts so badly" At this time, I was already sweating in pain, and I replied sadly.

Dan Er also stepped forward, raised the arm I was holding and rolled up the sleeves, I was shocked, I myself was also startled, the pain was the arm that sealed the long flat seal, I saw that the seal was glowing red, this lift the sleeve, I could almost smell the smell of burnt fur.

"This ...... What's going on!" Seeing the miserable appearance of his arm, he panicked, felt even more painful, and couldn't help but ask Dan Er loudly.

"I don't know, I've never seen this happen," Danji said with some embarrassment, staring at the seal on my arm.

The old-timers came over, looked at it and asked, "This is your Zhao clan's Changping seal?"

Dan Er nodded and didn't say anything more. I was in more and more pain, almost shouting, at this moment, my expression was in a trance, Wu Zhen flashed out of my body, covered his arm and frowned and exclaimed: "It hurts, what's the matter?"

The old-timer carefully looked at the seal that burned me, pondered for a moment, raised his hand and gestured a few times on his other hand, and there was a word in his mouth, only to see that hand was blue in an instant, and a trace of white gas rose in an instant, and then he put his hand on the seal on my arm, and there was a sneering sound, and suddenly there was a trace of coolness, and I felt much more comfortable in an instant.

With a relaxed expression, I couldn't help but be grateful to the old-timer who helped me relieve my pain, and I didn't know what to say, but the old-timer spoke first: "Although I don't understand the principle of this seal, but now it seems to be very unstable, and I can only temporarily use the Xuanbing Spell to relieve your burning pain, boy, I'm afraid you will suffer later."

"Huh......? So what can I do about this?" I looked at him in a panic, then at Dan Er, and hurriedly asked, "Can I use this seal?"

"No, absolutely not" Egg Er replied to me categorically, which made me feel very unhappy, and he himself had never tried this pain method like a soldering iron on the body, and he said it so lightly.

After being appeased by the old-timers, the pain was really alleviated a lot, and at this time, a few people had just eaten those firewood and bone powder, and their spirits were already very good, so they began to search for the so-called spell casters in the realm according to the plan, as the old-timers said, this is the only way to save people and save themselves.

However, the situation has become worse and worse since then, we have been going around in the forest until dawn and still have not found anything, after dawn, although the sun has dispelled a little fog, there is also a sense of direction, but no matter how we walk, we can never leave this forest, always go around for a while and return to the original place, the sun rises and sets, and then rises and falls, three days have passed in the torment, a bottle of firewood and bone meal is swallowed again and again in exhaustion, each time, my arm always has to drill the pain of the heart once, finally there are old-timers have been comforting, this is not difficult, but at this time even if everyone saves again and again, the onlyThe "ration" firewood bone meal has also been used up, the old-timers themselves except for the first bottle, since then has not been used, all let us, this firewood bone meal is different food after all, once the "medicinal effect" has passed, the whole person immediately fell into malaise, almost even walking out of breath, for several days, rice and water do not enter, do not sleep, this stimulant alone is too hard.

This night, except for Wu Zhen, the rest of the people had lost the slightest strength, and they were all lying on the ground with only the strength to breathe, and Wu Zhen finally couldn't drive my weak body, standing aside and looking at us worriedly.

"This ...... This little girl is really true, even ...... Even the old man couldn't stand it, she was fine" The old man sat up with all his strength, looked at Wu Zhen and sighed.

Wu Zhen shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "What's the use of this, if I can't find a way out, even if I don't die, I can only be trapped here all the time"

"Hey!" the old-timer sighed and said: "I really can't imagine that the old man and I have fought countless desolate souls in my life, and when I am old, I am incompetent, and I don't say anything about seeing my brother disappear...... It is good that not only can I not save people, but I am afraid that I will not even see the opponent, and I will be trapped alive in this forest, without any precautions in advance, without any plan, too impulsive, too hasty, the old man is not as calm as you doll, hey, it is really too old to be too late!"

In the dim night, in the fog, a few lonely people, the sigh of the old-timers increased sharply and despaired, and even more desolate, how can I not have mixed tastes in my heart, from the day Yu'er appeared, I couldn't imagine that my peaceful life would become so bizarre, even the world is completely different from the previous world, when I first met Yu'er, I thought that I had finally made good luck, thinking back to her gentle and considerate, it was really a warmth that I had never felt, and now with her disappearance, I was trapped and helpless, everything was like a dream, I couldn't catch the slightest trace, and my little life seemed to be about to end......
