Sugol raised his hand to feel the hot wind in the air, the oncoming hot wind could make him confirm that the desert was real, because the nights in Johora were cold all year round, not to mention the northern part of Johora, after entering the northern region, they were tightly wrapped in tents every night.

Therefore, what is being seen in front of you is not an illusion.

Besides, will hundreds of people have the same hallucinations at the same time?

Sugol didn't know what to do, so he looked at the three shamans who were with him, and the three priests were still firm that they should be the manifest spirits of the Nine Heavenly Gods, so they chanted and prayed to the Nine Heavenly Gods and walked towards the desert in front of them, but not long after they entered the desert, a fire broke out all over their bodies.

When the three shamans caught fire on their bodies, they began to roll on the ground and scream, but the more they rolled, the flames burned more fiercely, leaving even fire marks on the desert floor where they rolled.

Sugol immediately led people to help, but the fastest runners had just untied the water bags from their waists, and they began to burn the moment they stepped into the desert, just like the three shamans.

Su Gele had to order people to stop advancing, and he was not allowed to set foot in the desert in front of him for half a step, firmly believing that the front should be the Nine Domains, which is commonly known as the underworld and hell, and there was no other reason to explain it.

When Bao Meng said this, Tang Xiaohao and Xiao Ling glanced at each other, and then looked at Dongshan Xiao, because Dongshan Xiao had sworn that the place where they were definitely not the Nine Domains.

Seeing the two of them looking at him, Dongshan Xiao immediately defended: "This is really not the Nine Domains!" ”

Little Bell asked, "You haven't been to the Nine Domains, how do you know?" ”

Dongshan Xiao reluctantly explained: "Although I haven't been to the Nine Domains, I have also wandered on the edge of the Gate of Life and Death, and the feeling there is different, I just don't know how to describe it." ”

Tang Xiaohao looked around and said, "He's right, if this is the Nine Domains, why does the environment look exactly the same as the Inner Courtyard of the Peach Blossom Garden?" Bao Meng, you continue. ”

Bao Meng continued: "Su Gol did not want anyone to sacrifice again, leaving some people on guard, and the rest immediately packed up their things and turned to leave, for Su Gol, at that time, he had already firmly believed that the northern part of the Rouyuan was the Nine Domains. ”

Sugol returned with the rest of the people, but the strange thing continued, and no matter how long they walked, they did not find that day and night alternated, and that the strange moon in the sky was always hanging there.

Sugol was unable to discern the direction and could only find the footprints and rut marks left behind, but even these were gone, and they walked around and returned to the edge of the desert again.

Su Gele clearly remembered that he had led his team back to the south, how could he come back? Sukole decided to try again, so he led the team behind him again, that is, to the south, and who knew that two days later they were back on the edge of the desert.

At this time, Sugol completely understood that they were trapped.

Some of the people in the expedition began to break down emotionally and began to numb themselves with alcohol. It was at this time that one of the most cruel methods was proposed among the entourage, and that was to sacrifice.

The act of sacrificing to the gods of the Nine Heavens was very popular during the Kunlun Dynasty, and at the turn of the four seasons every year, a group of people would be selected to kill and sacrifice to the gods of the Nine Heavens, in exchange for good weather and alleviate the sins of the Nine Plains.

But people at that time did not know that by doing so, they were creating sin themselves.

It was not until the end of the Kunlun Dynasty that the absurd act of sacrificing living people was replaced by sacrificial livestock, but because of the wide influence, sacrifice was also retained in some parts of Jiuyuan, and before the Tuo Si Department unified the Rouyuan, many tribes on the grassland still retained this bloody custom, but they sacrificed prisoners of war and slaves.

Sugol was originally very opposed to this kind of sacrifice, but now there is no way but to take a risk, but because no one is willing, they can only draw lots to decide, and finally choose five people from the brigade to sacrifice.

After the death of those five people, the strange moon in the sky still existed, and the environment did not change in any way, but the food and water they brought were almost gone. Sugol had no choice but to order another return, and this time, he did not go in the direction behind him, because he was no longer sure if it was the south behind him.

At that time, the Tors Department relied on looking at the sun, moon and stars to distinguish directions, and there was no such thing as a compass.

Sugol led the men to the left side facing the desert, and kept going, and after about fifteen days they came to the edge of the desert again, but this time they saw something even stranger—a bright full moon hung in the desert sky in front of them, and a strange moon hung in the gray sky behind them.

It's as if they have finally reached the junction of the Nine Plains and the Nine Domains this time.

Su Gel felt that all this he saw in front of him was hope, so he directly led the brigade directly to the desert in front of him, and after rushing into the desert, Su Gel felt the coolness that he had not seen for a long time.

Because the western part of the Rouyuan is a desert, and the people of Rouyuan have set foot in that area for a long time, they are well aware that the desert is very hot during the day and extremely cold at night.

In other words, Sugol and the others have completely walked out of that terrifying place.

After a night's rest in the desert, the tired crowd was awakened the next day by the harsh sun, and when they got up, they did not see the strange moon again, but instead the sun hanging in the sky.

Everyone began to cheer in the desert, and then, with the sun as a symbol, they headed back in the direction of Johara Castle.

There were about 100 people left Johora City for Sugol's expedition, and when they returned to Johora City, there were only five people left, and this time the expedition took half a year.

Many people thought that Sugol and the others were dead, but Sarena firmly believed that her husband was still alive, so she kept waiting, but she didn't expect to finally wait back, and Sugol's adventure made Sarena feel that she couldn't send people to the north of Joorhara anymore, and with their knowledge and cognition at the time, they couldn't understand what was going on.

After Bao Meng finished speaking, he said: "Su Gele later wrote the experience of those expeditions into "The Northern Tale of Rouyuan", which not only recorded the strange moon, but also recorded a series of other bizarre and strange things experienced before meeting the strange moon, even many people who were illiterate or unreadable in the Rouyuan had heard the story in it. ”

After listening to this, Tang Xiaohao said helplessly: "I thought there was a solution in that story, but in the end, it was just a story." ”

Dongshan Xiao interjected next to him: "Is it because of the sacrifice that they can come out?" ”

Before Bao Meng could say anything, Tang Xiaohao slapped Dongshan Xiaoxiao on the head directly: "You can also think of this kind of inhumane bad idea, even if we want to sacrifice it now, it will be a sacrifice for you." ”

Bao Meng said at this time: "I haven't finished yet. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at Bao Meng.

Tang Xiaohao asked: "Is there any solution!?" ”

Bao Meng looked at Tang Xiaohao and said, "When I told this story to the Great Strategist......

When Bao Meng said this, he naturally remembered Sang Luo again, and paused.

Little Bell walked to Baomeng's side, but didn't know how to comfort her, so she had to stand there with her.

Tang Xiaohao pretended that nothing happened: "And then? ”

Bao Meng calmed down, and continued slowly: "The Great Strategist told me that the matter about the Strange Moon also happened in the past in the land of Huayuan, and before he became the Great Strategist, he once went to Fengxun Road with his teacher Hu Shen to investigate a strange moon incident that happened there, although he didn't find out, but he found traces of the demon spirit there, so the Great Strategist guessed that it should be the demon spirit. ”

Tang Xiaohao recalled Situ Chang'an's explanation to himself, the demon spirit is the self-awakening and cultivation of animals, and the spirit is the plant.

Tang Xiaohao looked around and said, "If what Sang Luo said is correct, then there must be demon spirits around us, this is strange, since there is the existence of the spirit sealing stone, how can there be demon spirits?" ”

Everyone present knows that the spirit stone is used to ward off evil spirits, according to folk customs, as long as there is a spirit stone in the courtyard of the house, there will be no undead, resentful spirits, demon spirits, elves, these things.

"Where in the world are there so many real spirit sealing stones," Dongshan Xiao looked at Tang Xiaohao and said, "Feng Ling Mountain is so far away, the general spirit sealing stones are fake, just an ornament, ask for comfort." ”

Dongshan Xiaoxiao's words made Tang Xiaohao realize something: "That's right, if the spirit sealing stone in the inner courtyard of Peach Blossom Yuan is really useful, when I enter the inner courtyard, you have already been blocked by the spirit sealing stone, which means that the spirit sealing stone is meaningless." ”

The little bell immediately said: "No, since I entered the inner courtyard, I felt that the sealing spirit stone emitted a warm breeze, and that kind of warm breeze made me very uncomfortable, but after I came here, I felt comfortable." ”

The few people present didn't understand these things at all, so they were completely at a loss, and the story of Baomeng and Little Bell's own feelings made the whole thing even more confusing.

Tang Xiaohao suddenly remembered one thing, that is, before dinner, Su Mu had felt the breath of people in the south building, but when he got there, it was empty.

Although Tang Xiaohao didn't understand what the connection was, he decided to go to the South Building to find out.

Just when Tang Xiaohao and the three of them set off towards the South Tower, Su Mu, Chierda, Ah Mo and Yueyan in the real Nine Plains World were standing in front of the spirit sealing stone, because Su Mu always sensed that Tang Xiaohao and the others' breath was in front of the spirit sealing stone.

Su Mu suddenly said at this time: "The horse's breath began to move, and they went towards the south building. ”

Ah Mo knew that there were people in the rivers and lakes who could detect the breath of living people, and although most of the people in the rivers and lakes and other ways did not know this skill, they also knew how to hide their breath to avoid being discovered by the enemy during the sneak attack and ambush.

It's just that learning to perceive breath is not something that can be practiced overnight, so this Su Mu is definitely not a simple character.

Ah Mo is just judging whether the bizarre disappearance of Tang Xiaohao and the three is a scene? The reason why Su Mu stayed was to divert attention?

Although he was suspicious in his heart, Ah Mo still followed Su Mu towards the south building.

On the other side, in the Strange Moon World where Tang Xiaohao and the others were, the three of them came to the South Building, and Tang Xiaohao also informed the others of Su Mu's discovery before dinner.

Dongshan Xiao said: "Then it is definitely not the undead, no matter how powerful the living person is, it is impossible to perceive the breath of the undead, because the undead are formed by the living soul after death, where does the breath come from?" ”

Hearing this, Tang Xiaohao thought of something, looked at everyone and said, "I have a guess, although it is very bizarre, but I think it should be the only explanation." ”
