Chapter 57: Falling into a Dream
Arriving in the middle of the town, Rong Fei jumped over the wall of a courtyard and hid himself in the shadows that the moonlight did not reach.
The small courtyard is very clean, the ground is free of fallen leaves and weeds, and the doors and windows of the house are also intact.
There was a slight snoring coming through the window inside the house.
Rong Fei's eyes swept over the small courtyard and felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it for a while, he realized why he still saw an illusion?
So far, all the courtyards Rong Fei has seen in this town are dilapidated, why is this courtyard so neat and clean?
Could it be that I have been blinded by illusions again without realizing it?
Or is this what the courtyard really looks like?
Rong Fei activated the Insight Divine Power and looked into the courtyard, and it was still neat and clean. Looking in the direction of the house, the black tiles and white walls, the doors and windows are intact. Rong Fei stared at the location of the bedroom, concentrating on imagining that he could see the scene inside through the wall, and then the next moment the picture in the bedroom really appeared in Rong Fei's eyes.
Where the heart desires, the eye can see.
This is Rong Fei's comprehension of the frequent use of the wall insight during this time.
The bedroom is simply furnished, with a bed, a table, two chairs, and a wardrobe.
The old man and the fourth uncle I had seen before were lying on the bed on their sides, covered with a quilt and sleeping on their bodies.
At this time, he was still the same ordinary old man as when they met before, his face was wrinkled, his beard was white, and there was no gray-white silk covering his body.
After using the Xuanbing Creation Pill to relieve the discomfort in his eyes, and observing for a while that the old man had no other abnormalities, Rong Fei jumped off the fence and left the courtyard, and probed towards the other place he had heard before.
Gu Fengxiao, Hou Chunhua and others who were guarding outside the archway at the entrance of the town became more and more uneasy. Rong Fei has been missing for almost an hour, and the six colleagues who went in to find him have never returned, and no matter how Li Fei preaches the secret whistle, there is no response.
At this time, a few people looked at the town covered with a layer of silver veil under the moonlight, as if it was an ancient giant beast that devoured people, and the torii was the mouth of the giant beast.
"No, we can't wait any longer. Rong Tou and Chen Chen must be in trouble and must go to support immediately. Lao Hou, you and Li Jiao continue to stay here, and the others will follow me into the town. ”
Gu Fengxiao said with an anxious face.
Hou Chunhua was about to nod in agreement, but the clothes behind him were ripped by Li Xiang, and then Li Xiang said.
"I think let's wait and see, Rongtou is very skilled, and it should be fine. Maybe he is secretly searching for the mysterious monk with his brothers, and it is easy to startle the snake by breaking in at this time. ”
In the past few days, everyone has seen Rong Fei's ability, and has invisibly established strong confidence in Rong Fei, so three people agreed when they heard the rumors.
Hou Chunhua wondered in his heart, but he also agreed.
"What Xiao Lizi said makes sense, let's take a look."
"You guys shouldn't be cowardly again, if it weren't for Rongtou's opening up, you would only have to beg on the streets. Now that Rongtou is in danger, he only cares about his own safety, which is really disappointing to me. If you don't dare to go, I'll go. ”
Gu Fengxiao scolded everyone bitterly, and then shook his hand and walked towards the town.
The only one who agreed with Gu Fengxiao just now also glanced at Hou Chunhua and Li Ji with disdain, and then followed behind Gu Fengxiao.
Hou Chunhua's old face turned red and was about to explain, but Li Ji rushed over and stopped the two.
"It stands to reason that I should have gone to report to Lord Yama yesterday, it was Rongtou who saved me, and I owe Rongtou a life. I also swear in my heart that in this life, it is the head of the horse to be the head of the glory, as long as it is the order of the head of the honor, if I go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot, if I frown, it will be disrespectful to him.
This town is strangely tight, and the situation is unknown, and if you rush into the town, you will leave everyone inside. I suggest waiting another quarter of an hour, if there is no news from Rong Tou and his brothers, I will be the first to take the lead. ”
"Xiao Gu, I know you are anxious, but the current situation is that the six brothers who went in first have all moved, and it will be useless if the people who are lost are less afraid. It's better to listen to Li Xiang and wait and see. ”
Hou Chunhua also helped to persuade.
With all that said, Gu Fengxiao couldn't insist anymore, so he could only sigh and sit aside alone to sulk.
Seeing that the situation had been stabilized temporarily, Hou Chunhua pulled Li Ji and asked quietly.
"What the hell are you kid doing?"
"Brother Hou, don't you think there's something wrong with Brother Gu."
Li Ji secretly glanced at Gu Fengxiao, who was facing away from him, and said.
Hou Chunhua blinked his eyes a few times, thought about it for a moment, and his eyes changed suddenly.
That's right, Gu Fengxiao is the town that entered with the adults, but why are the adults and the six brothers who went in later gone, but Gu Fengxiao is safe and sound?
After getting along for a long time, you can often understand what the other party thinks with a change in your eyes. Li Ji guessed that Hou Chunhua had realized that something was wrong, so he whispered again.
"Since Brother Gu came out of town, I have been secretly observing him, and I found that every once in a while he would lose his mind for a moment, and then he would become restless, and I suspected that he was lost in his mind."
"Lost in the mind? No way. ”
"Brother Hou, have you forgotten what I was doing before I came to arrest the Immortals?"
When Hou Chunhua heard this, he suddenly remembered that Li Jiao, this kid, used to go to the lottery door to beg for a living, and he used to rely on drugs to use illusions to defraud people of money.
There are all kinds of sayings in the rivers and lakes, and the color door is the eight doors of gold, skin, color, hanging, evaluation, group, tune, and color in the willow, that is, the trick.
Drugged hallucinogenic Li Xiang is an expert.
Thinking of this, Hou Chunhua believed a little in his heart, and hurriedly asked.
"How's that going?"
Li Ji whispered his plan in Hou Chunhua's ear, and then the two went their separate ways to find other people to help.
Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Gu Fengxiao didn't have time to turn back, but he was pounced on by four people and pressed to the ground without moving.
With the piercing sound of friction, Gu Fengxiao saw Li Ji pull out his waist knife with his spare eyes, staring at him unkindly.
"What are you going to do? Rebel, let me go. ”
Realizing that the situation was not right, Gu Fengxiao used his spiritual power to infuse his whole body and resist desperately. But although his current cultivation is a cut above everyone else, after all, he is alone, how can he break free from the shackles of four people.
The catcher who had previously agreed to enter the town also drew his waist knife at this time, but the blade was pointed at Li Ji and the others.
"Xiao Lizi, I'm talking ugly ahead, if Brother Gu is not as confused by drugs as you said or you dare to treat him unfavorably, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Don't worry, if I guess wrong, I will personally kneel down and apologize to Brother Gu, and let me kill and dispose of it at will."
Li Yan said, waving the blade to make small incisions on Gu Fengxiao's temples, Baihui points and other acupoints on both sides, and blood flowed out immediately.
Then Li Ji asked everyone to turn Gu Fengxiao over and lie on the ground, take off the water bladder hanging from his waist, break Gu Fengxiao's mouth and pour water into it.
After filling a bag, I have to wait for Chunhua's water bladder to continue to fill.
Three bags of water were all poured into it, and Gu Fengxiao's chest was swollen as if he was pregnant for ten months.
As blood flowed from the wounds in the acupoints, Gu Fengxiao first felt confused and sleepy. But as the blood was lost more, the inside of the head gradually became sober, and some trance pictures began to flash in my mind.
Just wondering where these memory fragments came from, the river began to turn over in his chest and abdomen, and the next moment the embankment was lost, and he vomited out.
The few people who held him down didn't dare to let go, so they could only dodge slightly, but they were still splashed. The sour smell hit the face, and immediately two more people couldn't control it, turned their heads and retched.
After vomiting up all the contents of his stomach, Gu Fengxiao finally recovered his mind and remembered those missing memories.
He groaned weakly.
"Put... Let me go... I... I'm fine. ”
Hou Chunhua asked worriedly.
"How?"
Gu Fengxiao rolled his eyes, and after taking a breath, he intermittently told everything that happened after he and Rong Fei entered the town.
After separating from Rong Fei, Gu Fengxiao's previous experience was similar to Rong Fei's, but because his cultivation was too low, he fell into the illusion earlier, and then ate a lot of hallucinogenic small mushrooms, and he was at the mercy of others in a daze.
After that, he was brainwashed by the information fabricated by the townspeople, and tricked the immortals guarding outside the town into the town, and fell into the illusion one by one.
After listening, Hou Chunhua was still a little uneasy, and saw Li Ji coming over with a palm-sized leaf, and there was a sticky, sour-smelling lump on top of the leaf, which was extremely disgusting.
Li Ji took out a medicine bottle from his arms and put it under Gu Fengxiao's nose, and the spicy and pungent smell rushed into Gu Fengxiao's nasal cavity unreasonably, stimulating him to sneeze a few times, and tears and snot flowed out uncontrollably.
"The drug went to the blood, and now the blood is gone, and the stomach is vomited. Let go of Brother Gu, it should be fine. ”
Li said so.
Hou Chunhua and the others let go of Gu Fengxiao in disbelief, but Gu Fengxiao lay motionless on the ground like mud.
Whoever is tossed like this will become such a half-wasted appearance.
Several people helped Gu Fengxiao to sit up, and helped him wash away the filth on his body with the water in the water bladder, Gu Fengxiao had a little energy, and his eyes completely returned to clarity.
Li Yan walked up to Gu Fengxiao and squatted down, and said with a branch to pluck the filth on the leaves.
"If I'm not mistaken, Brother Gu ate a dream mushroom, I heard about it when I was walking the rivers and lakes, but it is rumored to be extinct, I didn't expect to be lucky enough to see it today.
The whole body of the dream mushroom is as white as jade, and there are blood-colored stripes on the lid of the mushroom, which is sweet and juicy, and it can make people feel nightmarish like a dream. Drying and grinding powder, it will emit a strange fragrance after being exposed to moonlight, and it will have the same effect as eating it after smelling it for a long time, but it lasts for a short time, so it is also called moonshine grass. ”
"It should be that, Rong Tou and I smelled a scent when we first entered the town, and we were already confused by that time."
Gu Fengxiao nodded.
"Oh no, aren't they dangerous!"
Hou Chunhua exclaimed.
"Is there a way to restrain it?"
Gu Fengxiao hurriedly asked.
"Just cover your mouth and nose."
A catcher proposed.
But Li Ji shook his head and said.
"The powder that drifts in the air of the dream mushroom will come into contact with the eyes, and although the effect is slower, it is also more subtle and difficult to detect. We weren't familiar with the terrain in the town, and we didn't know where they were. I'm afraid that before we found them, we would have been unknowingly recruited, and then the whole army would be wiped out. ”
"So what to do, you can't do nothing here."
"There are ways to restrain yourself, but... Something to be sinned against! ”
