Chapter 3: A Glimpse of the Truth
At first sight, Li Yu's scalp was numb, and his whole body was as excited as if he had been electrified.
Xue An stopped in front of Li Yu silently, pressed his shoulder, and squatted down together.
The moon was dim now, and the surroundings were still dim, and Xue An and Li Yu hid on the side of the road before the moon left the clouds, and they were not discovered.
Li Yu felt his heart pounding, his eyes were round, and he seemed to be a little hot.
Under the nervousness, he was unaware, still staring at the direction of the ghost fire floating on the opposite side.
At this time, the moon left the clouds, and the hazy light finally returned to the earth.
As the things on the other side approached, Li Yu and Xue An finally saw clearly.
It turned out to be people!
Dressed in coarse cloth and looking like a mountain dweller in the countryside!
What I mistakenly thought was a ghost fire was actually a lantern in the hands of those people, with the word Xi cut out of red paper pasted on it, which looked festive and auspicious.
They followed the lantern, their figures darker than their surroundings, and their bodies swayed as they walked, no wonder they looked like ghosts.
These should be the villagers of Hujiazhuang itself, because of the joy of Hu's father-in-law's family, they acted as helpers and ushered in the delivery.
Li Yu almost wanted to scold, this person was scary and scared to death, and he almost didn't scare his son out of his problem!
But for a moment, he endured it again.
Because he remembered Xue An's reminder just now.
If you enter the treacherous realm, there will be many fierce people!
Upon closer inspection, although these people look decent, they are stiff and silent when they walk, and they do not have a word of small talk, like puppets being manipulated.
This is absolutely not normal!
Li Yu turned his head to look at Xue An, the other party's expression was still solemn, and he pressed his shoulder to signal not to move.
Li Yu twisted his body silently, signaling him to relax slightly, but when he glanced at it inadvertently, he almost jumped up in shock.
At some point, something inexplicable appeared in his vision.
It was like a glimmer of white gossamer floating in the air, pale and firelight intertwined, condensing clear handwriting.
The handwriting was moving with the figures in strange ways, like innate labels.
Li Yu was extremely surprised and looked at the handwriting.
"Demon (Kitsune)"
"Demon (Kitsune)"
"Demon (Dog)"
"Demon (Human) (Business Travel)"
"Demon (Human) (Business Travel)"
"Demon (human) (villager)"
"Demon (human) (villager)"
……
What do these mean?
Li Yu's heart seemed to set off a huge wave.
But before I could think about it, I felt a hot current rush through my eyes, and all the handwriting disappeared without a trace.
Li Yu rubbed his eyes, secretly surprised.
It couldn't have been dazzling just now, was it?
Before you know it, those people are gone.
Under the cold moonlight, the distant mountains were hazy, and the group blended into the deep night background, and even the lantern fire disappeared completely.
There was darkness between heaven and earth, and the sense of barrenness and recklessness far away from human civilization resurfaced.
But even so, it is more comfortable than the inexplicable tension just now, and it seems that in such a place and such a situation, it is really not a good thing to meet "people".
No wonder there are such words as the viciousness of many people.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, Li Yu felt the chill around him even worse.
His mind was full of what he had just seen, and the word demon was especially concerning.
Xue An reminded in a low voice: "Little Hou Ye, they are gone, let's find the exit quickly." ”
Li Yu came back to his senses and asked, "How do you know that there is an exit?" ”
After a little hesitation, he got up and patted his clothes.
"Those people came in from the outside, and if you're lucky, you'll be able to find an exit!"
Xue An seemed to explain, but he didn't seem to explain.
Li Yu was shocked by the strange handwriting he saw just now, and he didn't bother to bother with him, so he walked behind without saying a word.
There were no words all the way, going around and around, and it took a cup of tea to make the effort, and the two returned to the previous small slope again.
"Oh no, it looks like I really can't get out."
This time, even Xue An was a little hesitant.
"Is there no exit, or is it too late?"
He looked at the pond in front of him, then at the dirt slope on the other side, and hesitated.
Li Yu focused his attention on the surface of the water.
At some point, the pond reflected the moon and the reflection of the two men.
Anyone who has ever looked in the mirror at night will know that in a dim environment, people's cognitive ability to perceive things around them will be weakened, and confused senses will induce strong psychological suggestion, which will make the mirror image unfamiliar.
The longer you stare at it, the easier it is to feel that it's not you, it's someone else.
It is even possible that the mirror image is secretly observing itself inside.
But what really made Li Yu care was that on his own reflection inside, the handwriting condensed by pale fire once again appeared.
It appears in the area of both eyes.
"Eyes of the Truth"
Li Yu was surprised and delighted, could it be that he originally had extraordinary power?
I don't know how this thing came about, it's really inexplicable, but Li Yu originally had a heart for transcendence, and had the ambition to pursue opportunities and cultivate immortals to ask, this kind of surprise that stepped on the iron shoes and had nowhere to go, and it took no effort to get it, it was almost necessary to wash away all the panic and anxiety that came all the way just now, and even the current encounter seemed to become insignificant.
That's extraordinary!
He looked to the side with blazing eyes, and unexpectedly found that Xue An's reflection also had a line of handwriting on it.
"Inhuman (Xue An)"
Inhuman?
How does this word feel like I've heard before?
Some inexplicable thoughts appeared in Li Yu's mind, and the door of memory that had been sealed for a long time seemed to be loosened again.
But even though he was a human being in two lives, everything in his childhood was still vague.
Li Yan racked his brain, and couldn't recall where he had heard of these things.
He turned his gaze to Xue An's body on the shore, and sure enough, Xue An was holding those words on his head.
"Inhuman (Xue An)"
This guard of his own is really not an ordinary person!
Xue An didn't realize that Li Yu was observing himself, but he still paid attention to his surroundings, and seemed to be struggling with whether to cross this small slope and return to the deserted garden just now, or try again to the potentially populated east side that he had not dared to pass before.
Li Yu thought of something, and looked at the reflection in the water, the place above his head.
Sure enough, something new emerged.
"Inhuman (Li Yu)"
The function of this Insight is to see the true information of things?
With extraordinary powers, is it called an inhuman?
Is it based on subjective cognition, or is it based on the objective existence of this world?
Li Yu wanted to take a few more looks, but his eyes felt dry, and he soon lost the trace of those handwriting again.
