Unsheathed Sword Chapter Ninety-Three: The Secret Realm of Lethe
The sky soon darkened, and Huang Shan was nervously busy in the room, preparing all kinds of strange tokens and pills, while Xu Huaigu and Bai Xiaoyu watched Huang Shan's arrangement from the side.
I have to say that the Ghost Dao is indeed a very profound way of cultivation, all kinds of rules and strange objects dazzle Xu Huaigu, and the formation that Huang Shan is arranging is also extremely cumbersome.
Huang Shan had been busy all afternoon preparing these things, and there was a faint sweat on his forehead, but the sound of hurried footsteps still couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.
While staring at Huang Shan's movements, Bai Xiaoyu said to Xu Huaigu: "Actually, the ghost path also has some merits, these strange things can never be figured out by people in the righteous path. Also, it is said that the Lethe we are going to this time is one of the largest secret places in the world, and the rules in it are completely different from our current world. We can only look for it on the periphery of Lethe, and we must not go too deep, you must know that the few secret realms in the world that are as big as Lethe have not been surveyed clearly until now, and even the monks of the Nine Realms and Ten Realms in the central area may die, let alone those of us. β
Xu Huaigu nodded in agreement, and hesitated to speak: "Sister Bai, Yu Qin clearly has nothing to do with you, are you really willing to work so hard to help her?" β
Bai Xiaoyu touched his head with a smile and said, "Since you want to save her, then no matter who he is, I will help you." Remember what I said today, no matter who it is, as long as you want to help, I will definitely help you. In the same way, if anyone dares to kill you, I will never let him go! β
Xu Huaigu smiled knowingly: "Okay, I remember, Sister Bai." β
Over there, Huang Shan also arranged the spell at this time, and there were twelve quaint tokens in a big circle, each token had a pattern smeared with black blood, which looked like an evil formation.
Huang Shan said: "These twelve tokens are the ghost summoning order, which can find the ghost qi between heaven and earth and gather them all in one. A living person cannot enter Lethe, and we have to rely on ghosts to disguise ourselves in order to have a chance to enter Lethe. β
He also reminded, "I've never been to Lethe, but I've only seen a little bit of it in Master's books, so I don't know what's going on inside. We have to be very careful when we go in and be ready to fight. β
Bai Xiaoyu looked indifferent, as if to say that these dangers mattered to me. Xu Huaigu held a long sword in his hand and a short sword tied around his waist, and nodded at Huang Shan, signaling that he was also ready.
Huang Shan said with satisfaction: "Since this is the case, then let's start the ceremony!" β
The three of them stood in the circle surrounded by the token at the same time, and Huang Shan held a small red candle, took a deep breath, and made the final preparations.
With a click, he cast a small spell and hit a little spark. The spark landed precisely on the wick of the candle, and the candle was lit with a pop.
The wax oil on the tip of the candle began to melt and slowly flowed down. That little fire flickered in the darkness of the room, as if it was about to be extinguished at any moment, but it was just right to be extinguished.
All three of them saw the flames change color, from white to pale green, then to blue, and finally to inky black.
As the color of the candle changes, so does the light of the candle. The old dΓ©cor and tattered walls of the house dissipate like the wind blowing the sand dunes, replaced by an endless sea of flowers.
The moment the candle turned pitch black, there was darkness all around.
Xu Huaigu was a little scared, and then felt a soft hand grasp him, and then Bai Xiaoyu's whisper came from his ear: "Don't be afraid, just follow me closely." β
Xu Huaigu's heart warmed, and he also grabbed Bai Xiaoyu.
Bai Xiaoyu took out a yellow talisman and injected a little aura, and the talisman lit up, emitting a soft white light to illuminate the surroundings. But strangely, the white light lasted only for a moment, and then dimmed.
Huang Shan looked at the talisman that had lost its efficacy, and said: "The aura in Lethe seems to be different from our world, you can't use the talisman of our world, and you still have to rely on the most primitive candle flame to illuminate here." Moreover, we monks can't replenish the aura here at any time, so we can only rely on the aura that is already in our bodies and the aura in the qi-replenishing talisman. β
Bai Xiaoyu glanced at Huang Shan very unkindly, and Huang Shan was a little weak-hearted.
The aura is different from the outside world and cannot be replenished at any time, which is a big taboo for monks, why did they say such an important thing when they arrived in Lethe? Did you forget?
Of course not, this person has been hiding something, Bai Xiaoyu can't believe his words, but if he really dares to be clever and play tricks, Bai Xiaoyu promises that this person will definitely die miserably.
Huang Shan took out a lantern out of nowhere, picked it in his hand, and lit it. A faint light emitted from the lantern, illuminating their surroundings, and Xu Huaigu finally saw the surrounding scenery clearly.
They were in a sea of flowers on the other side, and these flowers were of five colors, one was purple and ebony, one was blue water, one was bright yellow chrysanthemum, one was bright red blood, and the last one was pure white as snow.
There are a total of five kinds of flowers, corresponding to five kinds of flowers.
Huang Shan shouted excitedly: "It's Lethe, it's Lethe!" I didn't expect that there were five kinds of flowers in Lethe, this holy place for ghosts, even the master had never set foot in it, and I was lucky enough to come here! β
After saying that, he excitedly wanted to pick those other flowers.
Bai Xiaoyu threw out a white silk and blocked in front of him, with a tough tone: "Don't move, if you want to get the other side flower, fulfill our promise first." β
Huang Shan glanced at Bai Aya who was blocking in front of him with jealousy, and had to give up the idea of collecting flowers from the other side immediately with great reluctance.
Huang Shan glanced around a few times, and could vaguely see a small hill in the distance, and the hills were blooming with red flowers on the other side.
Huang Shan pointed there and said, "Then you can come with me, as long as you find the flower seed of the red flower, you can find the antidote." The flowers on the other side are all clumped, and there is one flower seed among all the flowers, which is the core of the whole flower, and it is the antidote. The flowers on the other side of the red bank are blooming vigorously, so it should be over there. β
Bai Xiaoyu had no intention of leaving, but stared at Huang Shan.
Huang Shanming and reluctantly walked in the front, and Bai Xiaoyu took Xu Huaigu to follow him.
I don't know how big this Lethe Secret Realm is, at a glance, I can't see the edge of the sea of flowers at all, and the sky is also a deep black, not like the sky, more like nothingness.
The sea of flowers looked not far away, but maybe the rules in Lechuan were different from the outside world, they had been walking for a long time, and they seemed to be still in the same place, and the sea of flowers was still as far away from them.
The three of them all discovered this strange place, and as time passed, Xu Huaigu became more and more anxious: "What the hell is this place?" Yu Qin is still out there and it's dangerous, if we don't hurry up, she won't be able to hold on! β
Bai Xiaoyu urged: "What's going on, do you know?" β
Huang Shan was also confused and said, "This ...... It's also the first time I've been here, and my master's book doesn't seem to say anything about it, and I don't know what's going on. β
Bai Xiaoyu was a little annoyed, she looked at the dense flowers around her, so she casually threw out her white silk magic weapon, and suddenly a piece of flowers on the other side fell down like cutting wheat.
She said: "Maybe these flowers have a confusing effect, and we can walk through them while cutting them." β
Xu Huaigu had no choice but to use the dead horse as a live horse doctor and walk on the sea of flowers cut by Bai Xiaoyu. But as soon as he took a step, the ground shook violently, and he fell directly to the ground by the sudden shock.
Xu Huaigu hurriedly struggled to get up, drew his long sword, and prepared to deal with the next trouble. Bai Xiaoyu and Huang Shan were also frightened by this movement, but they both immediately calmed down and used their respective magic weapons.
In addition to the white silk flying beside Bai Xiaoyu, she also sacrificed a small piece of futon, and then she grabbed Xu Huaigu and jumped on the futon, and the futon flew up.
Huang Shan was still on the ground, and he also offered a turquoise folding umbrella, which should also be a magic weapon, but I don't know how effective it is.
After that tremor, the hills with the sea of flowers shook more and more intensely, and finally it was as if they had come to life, and the hills floated one by one, and from above, the floating ground was like waves in the sea, one after another.
Bai Xiaoyu looked at it for a moment, and immediately reacted, saying, "It's weird, this ground is alive!" β
When Huang Shan heard her shout, he also panicked and didn't know what to do. He is still standing on the ground, this ground may be some ancient beast or magic circle, with his ability, where is there a chance to survive?
Their traces had also been found on the ground, and the flowers on the other side began to come to life one after another, stretching out their branches and leaves towards Huang Shan.
Huang Shan was so frightened that he hurriedly took out the token of the black flower and waved it to the four sides, and the movements of those flowers began to hesitate, half advancing and half retreating, a little unable to grasp the idea.
The flowers on the other side surrounded Huang Shan, although they didn't know what the token was, and the flowers on the other side were so jealous, but even though they didn't hurt Huang Shan, they just surrounded him, and Huang Shan had no way to escape.
Bai Xiaoyu still has to rely on Huang Shan to find the antidote, and he can't abandon him now.
As soon as she gritted her teeth, she controlled the futon towards the black and oppressive flowers, and at the same time, the white silk also exerted its greatest power, pulling the branches and leaves that had reacted to attack the futon around.
The futon soon arrived behind Huang Shan, and Bai Xiaoyu shouted, "Come up!" β
Huang Shan didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly jumped on the futon, and suddenly a large branch and leaf turned to attack the futon with his figure.
The originally small futon squeezed into the three of them, and it was suddenly a little tilted. Another large number of branches and leaves swooped in, Bai Xiaoyu hurriedly harnessed the futon and shouted, "Hurry up!" β
The futon instantly accelerated and rushed directly into the sky.
Xu Huaigu looked at the sea of flowers that were overwhelmingly catching up with the soles of his feet, and he had goosebumps all over his body. Bai Xiaoyu also urged the magic weapon to the extreme, but the distance between the two was still approaching.
Suddenly, a branch sprang out of the sea of flowers, chasing after it at a speed far faster than the other flowers. Xu Huaigu hurriedly raised his sword to defend, but the speed of the branch was almost ghostly, and Xu Huaigu just raised the sword in his hand when he felt a chill at his ankle.
Xu Huaigu was shocked in his heart, and his mind suddenly went blank.
A tremendous force came from his ankles, and he fell from the futon in the air.
Bai Xiaoyu watched in horror as Xu Huaigu was pulled away, and wanted to go down to save him, but found that the sea of flowers had engulfed Xu Huaigu in an instant, and she couldn't get close at all.
Bai Xiaoyu was anxious, grabbed Huang Shan's collar with one hand, and quickly pulled out the token from him.
Huang Shan shouted in a panic: "Don't don't...... That's the root of my avenue! β
Bai Xiaoyu ignored him, and directly threw the token in the direction where Xu Huaigu fell.
On the path where the token fell, the flowers on the other side avoided it one after another, and suddenly a road appeared in the overwhelming sea of flowers.
Bai Xiaoyu saw that Xu Huaigu in the road was still falling down, and the token followed behind him, protecting him from being attacked by the other side flower.
But soon, the road was also covered with later flowers.
At this moment, Xu Huaigu was completely gone.
Huang Shan shouted like crazy.
Bai Xiaoyu ignored it, she just anxiously prayed that Xu Huaigu could survive.
