Chapter 158: Mirror Shadow

The ghost doll pursed her lips and was silent for a long time before muttering, "You and that guy said the same thing." ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Zheng was immersed in thought, unable to hear its muttering.

"Nothing." The ghost doll hurriedly changed the topic, "You haven't answered me yet, what is the incompleteness of Taiping Town?" ”

"You said that the people in Taiping Town are all eaten by you, but what about the people outside the town? Or rather, has anyone escaped from town? ”

The ghost doll turned her memory through in her mind, but the memory was too confusing, so she could only say uncertainly: "I haven't gone out of Taiping Town anyway, as for whether anyone has escaped from the town, if I escape before I get rid of the seal, I will definitely be able to escape." ”

Taiping Town is so big, there are a lot of people in the city, if someone flees from here, how can there be people living nearby, but according to what she saw, out of Taiping Town, except for a few empty houses scattered within a few miles around, in addition, there is no trace of human existence in thousands of miles.

I also remembered that the village chief once said that Zhidao Village was moved to this place of escape by the power many years ago, and before them, no outsiders had ever been here.

Zhang Zheng already had a faint guess in his heart.

"Do you remember when I told you that this is the realm of mountains and seas, a secret realm left over from ancient times?"

The ghost doll didn't know why, so she just hummed and said, "Remember, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang Zheng explained: "The secret realm is divided into natural formation and artificial casting, but no matter which one it is, most of the formations are randomly stitched together in multiple spaces, so the secret realm will present a scene one step at a time, and a hundred miles of snow and a hundred miles into a strange phenomenon." ”

"You're saying that the space in Taiping Town has also been divided and then stitched together with other spaces?"

Zhang Zheng shook his head again, "It's possible, but it's not likely." ”

The ghost doll didn't know why, seemed to understand and seemed confused, and said depressedly: "It's incomplete, what does it have to do with us?" ”

Zhang Zheng pursed his lips and smiled, his pale and dark face also revealed two points of spring breeze pride, "Hu Meng once said that the treasure grabbing in Taiping Town appears almost once in a while on the mountain and sea boundary monument, and there must be many people who come here to grab the treasure, but you don't have the slightest relevant impression of this." Either your memories have been tampered with by the Mountains and Seas, or you haven't met them at all. ”

"Remember what the nearly 100 monks were doing? They are relying on bamboo pieces to find clues to Taiping Town, if the location of Taiping Town is fixed, then so many explorations, the location should have been figured out a long time ago, not to mention that it is very likely that the requirements required to enter the city each time are different, and where do different props come from? ”

Zhang Zheng came to a conclusion, "Except for the Taiping Town that you and I met at the beginning, all the Taiping Towns we have seen may be fake Taiping Towns, including the current one." ”

The ghost doll was thinking about the long list of words she said, and her head was dizzy with thought, but when she heard this unbelievable words, she couldn't help but exclaim: "How is it possible! ”

It hurriedly said: "If you want to say that our current Taiping Town is fake, I still believe it, after all, it is an illusion, it is originally fake, but how can what we saw before be fake?" ”

"I'm not talking about illusions and other fakes, as for how to prove whether this is a fake Taiping Town, you can see if they can go to Liugujiang."

The ghost doll followed Zhang Zheng's hope, and in the distance in front of him were the seven people who were sent out by the master to find the Taoist, Zhang Zheng obviously followed behind them without a single step, but the distance between them became farther and farther.

In other words, it is not that the distance is getting farther and farther, but that the backs of the seven people are getting lighter and fainter, and the next moment they will dissipate like white mist in front of them, and there is nothing in place.

Looking fixedly at the place where a few people had disappeared, it was as if it was shrouded in rain and fog in front of it, and it was impossible to see what it looked like.

Zhang Zheng realized in his heart, and when he saw that the ghost doll was still confused, he said: "In the formation, there is a kind of trapped array called mirror shadow, which can reproduce multiple objects in the formation and place them in a certain place according to a certain law, blurring the consciousness of the people in the array, just like the common saying that ghosts hit the wall, so as to achieve the purpose of the trapped formation." "The stronger can even use the mirror to kill, and who better knows their weaknesses than themselves? Powerful array mages can easily harvest the lives of the rest of the people by using the Mirror Shadow.

The ghost doll suddenly realized, and her eyes widened in surprise, "You mean that Taiping Town has also been copied a lot?" ”

"Hmm. It is very likely that Taiping Town was also reproduced with multiple mirror shadows, placed in different positions, and there should be a connection in each mirror shadow. This is also the reason why we left Taiping Town in the first place but did not see the Liugu River, because we had already fallen into the mirror shadow not long after stepping out of Taiping Town. ”

"There is another reason to deduce, listening to Hu Meng's tone, the task of capturing the treasure in Taiping Town is not difficult, and the reward is not very good, but in my confrontation with you, your strength should be on par with Yuanying, maybe higher, and it is by no means so easy to retreat under you. But ......"

"The disadvantage of the mirror shadow is that the strength of the reproduced shadow will be much weaker than that of the original owner, so it can explain why they can easily clear the level."

"Oh-" the ghost doll nodded matter-of-factly, "I see. It's just that...... We know what this is for? ”

The corners of Zhang Zheng's mouth twitched, and he glared at it with hatred, and before he could explain, the picture in front of him suddenly turned around, falling into a colorful and strange light.

As soon as he stood firm, he saw the familiar face in the lobby who had been sent to seek the Taoist, but there were seven people when he went, and only two were left when he returned.

"Back to my lord, no one wants to come to Taiping Town to exorcise demons, but a Taoist master gave me a piece of paper with a method for expelling demons."

The old man took the paper he offered with both hands, and quickly browsed it, but the folds of the Sichuan character on his forehead became more and more profound.

He stood up suddenly, his hands clenched into fists, the paper in his hands, and paced around the hall with his hands in his hands, fidgeting.

The steward sighed and said: "Master, in recent days, the demon has harmed a lot of people, even the townspeople near the lotus pond are gone, the whole Taiping Town has long been full of rumors, many people hurriedly packed up their things and ran away, there are townspeople outside the house every day to crusade, we don't have time to hesitate!" ”

After a long time, when the sun was already dark, he said in a deep voice to the steward who was waiting beside him, "Tomorrow I will prepare some gold and silver treasures, as well as the clothes and toys of a two-year-old child, and put them all in the carriage." ”

The rest of the story can be guessed without looking, it must be that Ning Fu wanted to dig out the clay pot in the lotus pond and load it in a carriage to find a place outside the city.

But he didn't expect that the ghost evil was originally limited by the lotus pond and the clay pot, and he still had some scruples, so he couldn't kill on a large scale, but by doing this, he really untied the chains of the demon evil, and the entire Taiping Town would be reduced to a bloody purgatory.

As Zhang Zheng expected, as soon as the carriage arrived at the city gate, the ghost came out of the crockpot, and the first thing to bear the brunt was the horseman and the people who were fleeing in a hurry with their bags at the city gate.

The screams came and went, the blood mist filled the sky, some people wailed, some people begged to wrap around, but the spread of blood flowers bloomed along the whole town, blooming in the world, gorgeous and treacherous, just like the red and beautiful other side of the Huangquan Road, paved with a sea of dead flowers.
