"Hey, Wake Up, Wake Up"

Zhu Yun opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Yijiang. "Why are you here?"

Yijiang didn't answer, he wanted to quickly understand what happened to Zhu Yun and Jiabin. "Are you alright?

Zhu Yun was curious: "Hmm, isn't Jiabin with me? where is he?" Zhu Yun found that Jiabin, who had fallen with him, was gone, and only Yijiang and a girl he didn't know were missing.

"Who is she?"

"I'll explain this later, the most important thing now is to save the rest of your friends!" Yi Jiang just wanted to answer, but was interrupted by Meiling.

"Eh, strange! Where did my pendant go?" said Zhu Yun and looked for it on the ground.

"What pendant?" asked Yijiang.

"That's a long story! My grandfather gave it to me when I was a child!"

"Why haven't I heard you mention it?"

Mei Ling's face was shocked and said, "Oh no! Their purpose is to snatch your blue ice pendant! This is too bad, we're late!" Mei Ling's expression became nervous, completely different from the smiling her in the forest. Yijiang and Zhu Yun knew the seriousness of the matter from Meiling's expression, because it was Zhu Yun who lost the pendant, so he was embarrassed to ask why, only one arm hit Yijiang. Yi Jiang understood what he meant, so he had to shake his head and say that now was not the time. Meiling looked around, saw the original python location and asked, "You released it?"

Zhu Yun asked puzzledly: "What? That giant python? Don't worry, your friend is very good to us, and it's almost" Halfway through his words, Yijiang covered his mouth with his hand and made a "shhhh "Ok! we accidentally let him out, but we didn't do anything, and the python was like it was going to eat us. ”

Meiling lowered her head and fell into deep thought, leaving Yijiang and Zhu Yun whispering there. "Who is she?" said, where did you get such a powerful girlfriend?" Zhu Yun whispered.

Yi Jiang glanced at him, and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense, she is not a human being, the matter is too complicated, and there is no way to explain it now." ”

Zhu Yun's face turned pale and said, "No, it's not a human being, is it a female ghost?"

"That's the weapon spirit of the previous generation of the Snake King's Patron Deity-Scale!"

Zhu Yun thought that the girl in front of him had answered his question by herself, but after thinking about it carefully, he asked, "I'm sorry, what did you say?"

Meiling continued as if talking to herself: "Even the previous generation of guardian spirits couldn't completely control it, and at that time, the scales were uncontrollable and stormed away, and it was only after collecting the power of the two guardian spirits that we could seal it again! Anyway, don't worry about it for now, our goal now is to find your other friends first! and then try our best to seal it! Also, your friend Jiabin, he is controlled by someone, but his life will not be in danger at the moment! Not good! It won't last long here!!" As they spoke, the whole room began to shake, and the three of them hurriedly ran out of the room. Meiling led the way in front, followed by Yijiang and Zhu Yun.

Zhu Yun said as he ran: "Yijiang, can you simply tell me what is going on?"

Seeing that Zhu Yun wanted to know so much, Yijiang could only say helplessly: "Her name is Meiling, I saw her in the forest, she said that you are the guardian saint of the snake king!"

"Wow! Cool! Hahaha! I said how did I encounter such a strange thing today, it turned out that my fate had come!" Zhu Yun shouted almost like crazy. "Meiling, what a nice name. Yijiang shook his head helplessly.

......

"Here it is," Meiling, who was running ahead, stopped. Yi Jiang looked at Zhu Yun, in addition to some patterned floors, there were also some poisonous snakes made of stone, and neither of them knew why Meiling had brought them here.

"How can there be a statue of a snake here, will it also come back to life?" Zhu Yun may have been frightened by the giant python just now, and thought it was alive when he saw everything.

"We're late! they're already in the Spirit Realm, let's hurry to the Spirit Gate!" Mei Ling said before turning around and running back.

"What gate?" the two didn't understand what they meant.

"We're going to hurry to the gate to the spirit world, they've already gone there!"

When Yijiang and Zhu Yun heard this, they immediately followed.

......

After passing through many corridors and rooms, she finally ran to a more spacious place, and then Meiling stopped.

"Meiling, where is the gate you are talking about?" Zhu Yun asked as he gasped, and Yijiang also looked around.

Meiling said to them: "Here, it is the door to the two worlds, it can only be opened when the time comes, and all external forces can't make it open, so let's wait here!"

Before Zhu Yun could figure out where the door was, Yijiang pointed to the wall in front of him and said, "This seems to be the door!"

"What?" Zhu Yun was stunned, he slowly looked up at the opposite wall in a daze, his expression instantly changed from surprise to ecstasy. "Wow! What kind of door is this? It doesn't have to be too big!"

"Do you know?" Yijiang said to Zhu Yun, "When I met Meiling, he told me a story, and now this gate in front of us leads to the spirit world, that is, another world. I know it's hard for you to understand, and I didn't react for a long time, but now it's okay, at least I know it's real. ”

"Another world?" Zhu Yun exclaimed. "What's in there?"

"You'll find out when you get in, because it's going to take a long time to say that. ”

At this moment, there was a series of "gurgling" sounds, which were Yijiang and Zhu Yun's stomachs "gurgling" non-stop.

"I'm so hungry!" Zhu Yun said weakly, holding his stomach.

Yi Jiang also held his stomach and smiled bitterly: "Hehe! Indeed, we haven't eaten since we came out." ”

"It's about ten o'clock in the evening, and the door opens at one o'clock in the morning, so I'm waiting for three hours!"

The two of them heard "Huh?" and then went to the ground in frustration.

Seeing their appearance, Meiling said worriedly: "You really can't hold on anymore? There is a way! Actually, there is a road here besides this gate, and that road is a hole that existed a long time ago, and no one has walked there for a long time. Because there is nothing on that road, all the people and things you see are things that are generated in your heart, if you think about things in your heart, you will slowly be trapped in the maze, as long as you have any **, you will be trapped there, and you will never be able to get out!"

"Is it so serious?" Yijiang looked incredulous.

Meiling said with a serious expression: "You have to think about it, you can't have distractions, that place is there" As she spoke, Meiling pointed to the corner of the wall to the side and continued: "It's there! ”

......

The three of them walked to the corner of the wall to study the hole in this strange wall, which was more than two meters high, and Yi Jiang originally wanted to see what was inside, but he was disappointed, the breach was shrouded in gray mist, and he couldn't look inside at all. "Meiling, are you sure we can go over?" Yijiang began to worry, and when he asked this, Meiling had already walked in first, and Yijiang also walked in, and Zhu Yun had no choice but to shake his head and follow.

Once inside, the horizon was very small, it was a forest filled with gray mist, all the trees had withered, and purple smoke was constantly emitting from the trees. The ground was muddy, and occasionally there was a lot of stagnant water, and the color of the water was black and it was still bubbling, and I didn't know what terrible things were in the water.

Meiling admonished, "We're going to go straight through this forest, but it's easy to get lost here, so it's best to follow me, but don't worry! ”

Although Yijiang and Zhu Yun both understood, they heard Meiling say that they couldn't think about anything here, and it was really difficult to do, so Yijiang and the two had to try. The three of them stepped on the mud on the ground, and every step was very difficult and worrying. They don't dare to look around, for fear that there will be danger, and at the same time they don't dare to think about things, so to speak, step by step.

They walked to a large pool, and when they got closer, they realized that the black color of the water was crystal clear, and they could see that the bottom of the water was made of silt and debris.

Zhu Yun suddenly asked, "What kind of bones do you see in the water?"

Yi Jiang looked over and found that there were deep and shallow bones of different sizes embedded in the mud at the bottom of the water, and he didn't see what kind of bones they were, but he could probably guess how many people had died here.

Meiling saw that the two of them were researching very hard, so she explained to them: "This forest turned out to be a very beautiful place, this is the holy place of the spirit world, it used to be called the Dream Forest, I heard that if you talk about the dream you have here, the things in the dream will come true." However, a long time ago, this place was slowly polluted by the poisonous gas released by the scales when they went berserk. The poison gas has not completely dissipated yet, but the fog that you see permeating this place. ”

"Then we won't be poisoned, right?" asked Zhu Yun, and at the same time, Yijiang and Zhu Yun's faces changed greatly.

Meiling said unhurriedly: "It's okay, these poisonous gases have dissipated for a long time, so we won't have any problems inhaling them, but we can't inhale them for a long time, of course, we have to get out quickly!" Saying that they had crossed several waterholes. Suddenly, a shadow loomed in front of them.

"What's that?" Zhu Yun exclaimed in surprise.

Yi Jiang narrowed his eyes and said, "It's a house!

When a few people came to the house, Meiling stepped forward and knocked on the door of the wooden almost rotten door with her hand, and there were a few muffled sounds. "Anyone?" Mi-ling shouted inside.

Yijiang and Zhu Yun both looked at Meiling strangely, because the most important thing is to hurry now, not to go to a house where no one lives anymore. Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in the room, and the footsteps stopped in front of the door, and then heard the "squeak" of the broken wooden door, terrifying and terrifying. The hearts of Yijiang and Zhu Yun in the back moved, and they tensed up to see who would appear inside this door. An old, wrinkled, shriveled hand stretched out through the crack in the door, startling both of them.

Meiling pulled the door open directly, she didn't seem to be scared at all, on the contrary, she was still laughing, "Grandma, why are you here alone?"

It was an emaciated old man, with his hair coiled up in a hairpin, his mouth shriveled with vertical lines, his eyes half-open and half-closed, a dark brown scarf around his neck, a thick gray sweater, slippers on his feet, and a deadwood stick in his hand.

I saw her say slowly: "Come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Meiling stepped forward to help the old man under the attention of Yijiang and Zhu Yun, and she also said: "Grandma! My name is Meiling, those two are my friends, Yijiang and Zhu Yun!" Meiling pointed to Yijiang and the two of them respectively.

Zhu Yun accepted all this first, and after he said hello to the old grandmother, he patted Yi Jiang on the shoulder meaning that it was his turn, and Yi Jiang laughed awkwardly. "Hey, hey, hello! ”

The old woman kept looking at the two of them with a tense face, and after the two of them said hello, the old woman's expression was still so stiff, as if her facial muscles couldn't move. When Yijiang began to see this old man, he immediately thought of the witch in the movie, that was an extremely terrible person! But now that he thought about it, this old man didn't look like a bad person, and finally regained some courage, so he and Zhu Yun followed Meiling and the old man into the house.

The space inside the house was cramped, because the old woman seemed to be the only one living in the house. However, there were three rooms, and the grandmother took the three of them into the first room on the right.

"You two boys, let's go here first! I'll cook for you later, Meiling, you come with me."

Yijiang and Zhu Yun walked into the house, the floor inside the house was paved with stones, a pit made of stones was not very big, but it was enough for the two of them to turn over a few times, and there was a square window for ventilation. Yijiang sat on the kang like this, and he also found a painting hanging on the wall, a young and beautiful woman.

"It's so beautiful!" Zhu Yun couldn't help but praise, he also found the painting, and he also looked at the portrait in a daze. Yijiang was the same, he only felt that his soul was hooked by the woman in the painting. Zhu Yun saw that Yijiang was also stunned like himself, so he teased: "Hey, wake up, why, do you want to fall in love with someone else so soon?

Yijiang was not in the mood to joke with him, he changed the topic and said, "You say, why did Meiling suddenly want to rest here, aren't we in a hurry?"

"You forgot? We walked this way because we were so hungry, but we had food in a while, and when we were full, we had the strength to walk. Zhu Yun continued to look at the woman in the painting and said, "He's a beauty!"

"But what?"

Zhu Yun didn't speak, looking at his evil smiling face, he must have thought of something messy again.

Yijiang didn't care that Zhu Yun was dreaming of spring there, but he walked out of the room.

......

The old grandmother took Meiling to the room directly opposite Yijiang, that is, the room on the left when she just entered, so as soon as Yijiang went out of the door, she heard someone talking in the house. "Meiling, how dare you bring humans in, how dangerous it is here, send them home quickly!"

Meiling shook her head reluctantly, and then gently leaned into the old grandmother's ear and said, "They are the patron saints"

After hearing this, the old woman's face changed suddenly, and she was shocked and said, "Ah, then, was I rude just now?"

Meiling smiled and said, "Don't worry! It's okay!

The old man sighed and said, "Alas, the spirit world is finally saved, but I'm afraid I won't have the chance to see this world return to its original state!"

Meiling was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Alas, because I had already died in that calamity! everyone else had fled, and I was the only one who remained here, for I could not abandon the place where I had always lived, which was so beautiful. I don't have much left, and now I'm a lonely ghost, and I have no regrets about seeing you again. ”

Meiling's eyes instantly moistened, and she wiped it and said, "Why?"

The old man hugged Meiling, who was crying sadly at this time, Yijiang watched them silently, his nose also felt a little sour, and he got rid of his sad emotions and walked away.

The old lady said softly: "Wait a while, after you finish eating, I will detoxify you, and then leave quickly! It's time for me to go to that world, too. ”

Meiling obediently wiped away her tears and did it on the kang. When the old man went out, Yijiang had already returned to the room. After a long time, when the old man had finished cooking, she sent them to their rooms.

Zhu Yun was very excited when he saw it, and he shouted, "Wow! It's meat! It's great!" Zhu Yun took it and gobbled it up.

Yijiang faintly felt that the mystery in his heart had become even bigger. "Strange? There are no more creatures in this forest, why is there meat?" Yijiang didn't eat.

After a while, when Zhu Yun finished eating, he saw that Yijiang didn't move, so he asked, "Yijiang, why don't you eat?" Don't be in a daze, are you haunted by ghosts?"

Yi Jiang just wanted to explain, when he suddenly heard the window open suddenly, and then a gust of wind blew in, Yi Jiang's eyes widened, he seemed to have understood what was going on at this time.

A black mist then flew into the house through the window, hovering over the rooftop, condensing into a black figure whose head looked around as if looking for something. In the end, the black shadow's gaze fixed on Zhu Yun's body.

"Run!" Yi Jiang's expression was very nervous.

Zhu Yun found that something was wrong, and this black shadow was staring at him, he figured it out at once, and went to open the door with one arrow step, but he just wanted to open the door and go out, but the door couldn't be opened at this time.

Yi Jiang saw that it was not good, he immediately went to open the window, fortunately the window could be opened, he shouted at Zhu Yun: "The window!" Yi Jiang finished speaking, he had already jumped out of the window.

Zhu Yun hurriedly jumped out, the ghost seemed to be very angry when he saw the two people running away, and he was about to chase him out after roaring in his gloomy voice, but he didn't expect Yijiang to slam the window shut at the same time as Zhu Yun jumped out, and the ghost was trapped inside.

But this is not a long-term solution, Yi Jiang fixed his mind and said, "Quick! let's go and inform Meiling and them."

The two of them went around to the main entrance of the house, and when they entered the door, they saw that the room they were in had been locked, and the whole room was not as clean as when they came in before, as if no one had lived in it for a long time, and it was covered with dust.

"Not good! Meiling is in danger!" Yijiang suddenly pushed Meiling's room open, but there was no one inside. "Damn, where did they go?" The two searched the entire house, but they couldn't find Meiling, and even the old man just now was gone.

Zhu Yun wondered, "Huh, weren't they still there just now? Why are they all gone for a while? It's strange, are they going out for a walk?"

"Damn! Take a ball walk! If I'm not mistaken, this old grandmother, and the whole room are illusory, these should be Meiling's inner imagination! To stop her from continuing to think, so we must find her quickly. ”

"Ah, won't you, what did you do when you went out at that time?" Zhu Yun asked in surprise.

"I just went out to find out if there was any clue to prove if I was right, at first I heard Meiling and they talking, I heard that the old lady died a long time ago, it was just a ghost. But I didn't believe there was any life in it, so I looked at the other corners of the house, and I found that there were bones in the kitchen! There are no creatures in this forest, where do the bones come from? Maybe what bones are? But you did eat at that time! I can't figure this out, how can it be true if it's illusory? There's only one way to explain it, and that's that you eat air."

Yi Jiang suddenly had an idea and said, "I know why we eat! It's because Meiling's heart produces grandma, and what we produce in our hearts is food, which coincides in a sense! As for what you're eating, leave it at that!"

Zhu Yun felt that this made sense, and he sang harmonized: "Anyway, I'm not hungry now, no matter what he eats, it's fine if it's not poison!" Zhu Yun said this to cheer himself up, Yijiang also nodded in agreement, and then just prepared to go out of this house. Just then, the whole room began to twist and deform, making them both dizzy, and not only that, but their heads began to ache more and more.

Yi Jiang endured the severe pain and said, "Now the illusory influence in this is disappearing!" Then, the two finally fainted in this painful struggle.
