Chapter 16: Disillusionment
The name of the island of nothing is "nothing", and there is nothing is nothing.
There is nothing, and it is the first impression that everyone looks at before landing on the island.
There was no vegetation, no wild animals, not even a single worm.
There are only black stones, which are of different shapes, large and small, much like huge stone lumps.
The stone bumps are scattered in a patchwork that spirals from the edge of the island, rising layer by layer, and in the center of the island there are two black peaks of about equal height.
However, less than twenty steps were advanced.
"When no wild beast rises from the sea, how come there is not even a fish? There are no fish, there is not a stone, what the hell is this place? ”
Li Huati seemed to have recovered a lot of physical strength, and she followed Li Yuexuan and Li Jiangliu to the front of the team.
The island in front of her was empty, very unreal, like a stick figure with no details.
"Nothing? How so? Li Jiangliu looked left and right, confused in his eyes.
He clearly saw that his surroundings had changed, and this was a primeval land with lush vegetation and abundant products.
It's just that all kinds of strange flowers and plants, unknown creatures, make him surprised and happy, and some dare not move forward.
"It's hot here." Behind the three of them, Li Chunfu seemed to have come to another place, he walked a few steps, and found that the stones under his feet were gradually melting, and there was dust on the ground.
Looking up, the sky was also dusty, and there were two mountain peaks in the distance, and the peaks were spewing fire into the sky.
Li Chunfu first took off his cloak and then his robe.
But I'm already drenched in sweat.
So he also stopped.
Li Yuexuan also saw two peaks, but it was at night.
The full moon is in the sky, just like a circular gap in the night sky, and the mountain peaks are embedded in it.
The picture is heart-warming and soft.
But what's even more exciting is the one on the right, on the top of the peak, there is a person, immortal and heroic.
"Yes...... Xie Qiao? Li Yuexuan couldn't help but let out a low voice.
So, the figure slowly turned around......
……
Only Lu Ran looked at the rows of stone formations, there was a natural road that led to the center of the island.
This island is no different from what I remember.
Not even a single stone has ever moved its position.
It's just that why are these people around him standing still as if they are enchanted?
Lu Ran was about to say something, when Gu Xingran's voice came from behind him.
"Destroy the illusion in your heart!"
"Turn on the lights in front of you!"
Two sticks to drink, like an alarm bell.
Gu Xing, the big star official, held a jade ruler in his hand, used the ruler as a pen, and drew a spell out of thin air.
Purify the Spell of Disillusionment.
The spell is gilded and the brilliance is splendouring.
The spell rose into the air, then unfolded, forming a large arc.
The large arc is connected from end to end, surrounding a group of people and drawing a circle.
Around this line, the front and back turned three times.
"Fall!"
The spell is like a consciousness, falling on everyone's forehead one by one.
After a while, the people in the circle slowly woke up.
"I didn't expect that as soon as I got on the island, there would be such a powerful phantom array."
Gu Xing withdrew the ruler in his hand, and the spell was also like an illusion, and in a flash, all disappeared.
Trim it up and get back on the road.
"It's still very strange that on an island that rises up suddenly like this, there will always be some fish, shrimp and shellfish that don't have time to escape and will be swept up together, but on this island, you can't even see a shell." After being silent for about a quarter of an hour, Li Jiangliu spoke.
"I know." Li Yuexuan, the little sister who loves to read, rushed to speak: "All things have spirits, I think the reason why this island is really like ...... Forehead...... That little brother said nothing, there was only one possibility-"
She originally wanted to call Lu Ran's name directly, but she felt a little too intimate, so she paused.
"Ouch, Little Thirteen, the person who sells Guanzi is going to be ugly." Li Hua said with a smile.
"I'm afraid! I think - whether it is on the surface of the sea or under the sea, these fish, shrimp, birds, beasts, they are afraid of this island or the things on it, so they dare not approach. ”
Afraid?
When Lu Ran heard this, he looked up, and sure enough, as far as the eye could see, even the seabirds in the air were nowhere to be seen.
Thinking about what Li Yuexuan said again, the more he felt that what she said was reasonable, Lu Ran boasted that he was familiar with every corner and every stone on the island, but he finally realized that the existence of this island was indeed full of strangeness.
It's just that Lu Ran really never felt scared on this island, but he felt that there was a sense of calm and relaxation here.
Felt like home.
But it's not complete either. There was always a missing part in his memory, as if he only remembered some fragments of him playing on this island, he walked and walked, ran and ran, climbed up and down among the stones, but he couldn't remember how he survived on this island, there was no food, no water, and he couldn't remember why he always fell asleep when he was tired of playing, woke up and went back to his grandfather's cabin......
He felt as if he had been to the island countless times, but also as if he had only been here for one day, one afternoon, one evening.
He suddenly began to doubt all this for the first time, could it be that this was also the "phantom array" in Gu Xing's mouth?
It is unlikely, because at this time, the "phantom array" has been broken, but what Lu Ran saw and felt did not change.
Or maybe it's just because he's not used to having people come with him on this island.
"The place we are going to be between the twin peaks, at the foot of the mountain."
Just thinking about it, Gu Xing's old voice came from behind him.
Lu Ran couldn't help but look up again, in the central highlands of this small island, the two similar small peaks, a hundred zhang high, like two strange horns, stood high side by side.
These are also the two peaks that many people have seen in the "Phantom Array".
Lu Ran also climbed to the top of the mountain, on the peak, there are still only stones, big stones stacked on top of small stones, over time, the stones weathered into mountains, and the mountains cracked again, turning back into stones.
It's just that the shape is a little weird.
Nothing to say all the way.
The group walked another three or five miles, passing through one after another high and low, patchwork stone forests, and finally came to the foot of the twin peaks.
Looking up, the mountain peak finally fully revealed its true face, and the black mountain peak was like two scimitars, the back of the knife was facing each other, arching out a circle in the void.
In such a neat battle, I have to admire the miraculous creation of nature.
"Some...... Surreptitious? Li Hua muttered tiredly.
"Hmm...... It's like a hole has been dug in the sky. Li Yuexuan sighed lowly.
The rest of the people didn't make a sound, only Lu Ran smiled in his heart, this Li Yuexuan is really interesting, this description is really appropriate, unlike himself, he has always called these two mountains Niujiao Mountain.
When the little girl said this, when she looked at it now, it was more like two moons with an arch to let the sun in.
Or, what do you want to get out?
Wait a minute, have you been to this island a thousand times and seen the sun?
The moon has never appeared either.
Lu Ran looked at the yellow figure running at the front, slightly distracted.
Until he saw Li Yuexuan trotting back with a smile, shrugging his shoulders and smiling shyly at him.
"There's no road ahead."
