Chapter 20: Into the Empty Mirror
The secret passage that I walked with Liu Yue yesterday also looks like this, I don't know if there are these little ghosts here. Thinking about what happened on this day is even more bizarre than what I have encountered in the past ten years, I am also drunk.
Gao Yun thought as he walked forward quickly.
After walking for a short time, Gao Yun saw a fork in the road on the left, and it was pitch black inside.
Gao Yun thought about it and decided to continue along the same path. After a few steps, a door appeared in front of me.
Looks like it's going to be an exit!
Gao Yun became excited, stepped forward and pulled the door open, his face suddenly stiffened.
There was a scorching red light from inside the door, and there were dozens of flames!
Gao Yun secretly exclaimed in his heart that it was not good, and the soles of his feet rubbed on the ground, and immediately retreated sharply.
Dozens of flames flew out in unison like arrows from a string, resembling a wall of flames.
The wall of fire advanced rapidly, and not far ahead, Gao Yun's figure flickered, and he rushed wildly.
Seeing that the flames were about to touch Gao Yun, he flashed to the right with all his might, and finally hid in the fork in the road, and sat down on the ground.
The flames swept less than a few feet in front of him, and the hot wind that blew it up made Gao Yun's skin sting.
Gao Yun ran wildly all the way, and with the scorching fire, he was already sweating profusely.
Just as he was about to catch his breath, the floor below him suddenly split in two.
With a scream of "ah", Gao Yun fell.
"Poof"!
Gao Yun fell into a muddy swamp, causing a splash of mud.
Gao Yun wiped away the muddy water splashed on his face with the back of his hand, looked around, and suddenly frowned.
If you let your body sink, you will be swallowed up by the swamp in half an hour at most, and you need a place to climb out, but the swamp is shrouded in a white fog and you can't see where the shore is.
Gao Yun was thinking hard about how to get out, when suddenly a human voice came from the water and grass not far away.
"Little donor!"
Gao Yun looked at it fixedly, and it turned out to be the monk named Lonely Xuan before.
Most of his body had sunk into the swamp, only his neck up and one arm still on the surface of the swamp.
"Master Lonely Xuan, why did you fall in?"
Silent Xuan smiled sheepishly.
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed! It's only because the little monk's cultivation is insufficient and his skills are still shallow that he fell into this illusion trap by mistake. ”
Is the cultivation of the Silent Xuan insufficient?
Gao Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The master is too modest! Everyone saw your strength during the previous comprehension test, if you can't pass the psychedelic magic circle of guò, then it is estimated that no one will be able to pass guò." ”
Just now when I passed by a shallow pit, I saw someone lying in it asking for help, and I was moved by compassion for a while, but I didn't expect it to be a swamp. ”
Gao Yun suddenly said: "Saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter! There is nothing to be ashamed of when the master mistakenly hits the mechanism in order to save people." ”
Lonely Xuan looked at each other and smiled: "It's over." ”
"I wonder if the master has a way to crack this swamp maze?"
"In the maze, there is both truth and illusion, using people's hearts to create illusions such as hope and fear, so that people are trapped in it and it is difficult to extricate themselves! If we want to break the maze, we must be like a mirror, so that the illusion can be taken advantage of without a gap, and the maze can be solved by itself. ”
Gao Yun listened in a trance.
"So what should be done?"
"As long as you allow yourself to enter the state of 'Skyclave', you can see through an illusion. ”
"Skyclave?"
Silence nodded slightly: "The Skyclave is a feeling of being in the void and being extremely quiet around. ”
Gao Yun "chuckled" in his heart.
Being in the void, there was a dead silence all around, isn't this the state you enter when you cultivate the Biluo Sword Technique!
Gao Yun suddenly thought of a question.
"Master, your skills are profound, and you should be able to reach the Skyclave state. ”
Silent Xuan nodded, and shook his head again.
"The state of the Skyclave can be encountered but not sought, and deliberately pursued will not be able to enter the door, and it can only be reached in a calm and quiet state of mind. ”
Gao Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly.
But the swamp had soaked into his chest, and there was already time for him to think about it again.
Gao Yun quickly closed his eyes and tried to calm himself.
Silent Xuan looked at Gao Yun fixedly from the side, smiled and nodded.
Gao Yun adjusted his breathing, swept away the distractions in his heart, and didn't think about anything.
At first, the faint sound of birds and beasts roaring in the distance of the swamp lingered in my ears. The voices grew softer, and slowly became completely inaudible.
"Knock, knock, knock......"
Not far away, there was a sound of footsteps that did not slow or hurry, but strangely, the sound seemed to have a slight echo.
The sound of soft footsteps getting closer and closer, and the sound of each soles hitting the ground seemed to contain energy, making his heart tremble slightly.
Gao Yun suddenly felt a feeling of disgust in his heart, extremely disgusted by the sound of the footsteps and the owner of the footsteps.
"Are you still mad at me?" came an extremely soft woman's voice, like a slender feather gently brushing by, making people feel an indescribable comfort.
There is a faint and fresh floral fragrance in the air, which is refreshing and intoxicating.
Gao Yun struggled to open his eyes and see what the owner of this charming voice really looked like. The sound is so pleasant and beautiful, the appearance must be overwhelming.
But for some reason, it was like something heavy on my eyes, and I just couldn't open them.
It seemed that something had fallen on his cheeks, and there was a slight itching sensation, as if it was a slender and delicate finger.
At this moment, that strange feeling of disgust came out of nowhere, permeating the whole mind.
Gao Yun felt that under the domination of this disgust, his throat twitched unconsciously, and a syllable was issued.
"Humph!"
Gao Yun felt the finger touching his cheek tremble visibly, but quickly calmed down again. The subtle touch from the fingertips seems to suppress some kind of strong emotion.
The air seemed to freeze, and there was not a sound for a long time.
"You're too tired, get some rest. ”
After the soft words, the touch of that finger was gone.
"Knock, knock, knock......"
The footsteps faded away.
A strong sense of loss suddenly appeared in Gao Yun's heart.
It was as if something very important had fallen from his hand to the ground and shattered.
Something seemed to be shattering in my heart, and there was an unbearable pain.
The most painful thing in the world is not physical pain, but heartache!
Because physical pain can be healed, but spiritual pain can only be diluted by time, but it can never be erased. That faint pain will linger in my heart forever......
Gao Yun lay there quietly, enduring this sudden, heart-rending pain.
Fists clenched, nails digging deep into the flesh.
Gao Yun used all his strength to finally open his eyes.
Vaguely, he seemed to see a pure white sky, surrounded by two rows of tall white pillars.
Just when Gao Yun wanted to see more clearly, suddenly his eyes went dark.
In the darkness, time seemed to stand still, all the sounds were gone, everything stopped moving, and everything stopped moving.
Gao Yun felt his body lose weight and float in the void......
Suddenly, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes, and the point of light expanded rapidly, and in an instant, everything was swallowed by the light......
"Little benefactor!" suddenly came a familiar voice in his ear.
Gao Yun woke up suddenly.
He was leaning against a large tree, surrounded by a large leafy forest.
Lonely sat cross-legged in front of him, smiling at himself.
Gao Yun stood up and scanned his surroundings.
"What about the swamp? I can't break it, right?"
"Exactly, thank you to the little donor for coming to the rescue. Silent Xuan folded his hands and bowed in thanks.
Gao Yun hurriedly helped him up.
I just wanted to try it, but I didn't expect it to be successful!
"Master, where is this?"
"We're still in a maze, but there's a weak aura ahead of us, which should be the exit. ”
Along the way, they also encountered seducing and teasing beauties and mountains of rare treasures, but they were all recognized by Lonely. As a disciple of Buddhism, Shanxuan is quite handy at dealing with this kind of illusion.
Suddenly, a black-clad masked figure appeared in front of them.
Gao Yunqi said: "Is this an illusion of robbery?"
Silent Xuan suddenly pulled him behind him.
"He's not an illusion. Silent Xuan's face was stern, and he said in a deep voice.
