Chapter 60: Breaking the Formation
Those memories that are struggling in my heart seem to be forcibly pulled by an inexplicable force, constantly hitting the bottom line that I can bear. Every step is like stepping on thorns.
The most frightening thing is not the vicious monsters or dangers in front of you, but the endless fog. I don't know the direction, and I don't know what I'm about to face. Especially those knots that create the most vulnerable parts of the mind. Maybe just a word, a movement, or even a look can make all the strength collapse. At that time, all that awaited me was endless regret and despair. The more memories there are, the larger the fragile void and the deeper the damage will be.
Such an undisguised illusion, without disguise and defense, but in this illusory illusion, people gradually fall into the endless abyss. Layer by layer of memory barriers, people lose themselves, can't distinguish between reality and illusion, and are forever trapped in this illusory world full of despair, unable to extricate themselves, forever immersed in pain. The Thousand Fox Obstacle is really the most profound illusion of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.
Ruyuan and I didn't easily get out of the illusion of the Thousand Fox Barrier, she just forcibly sealed our senses with spiritual power so that we wouldn't fall into a deeper environment. And if you want to break through the obstacle of this thousand foxes, you still have to find the guardian spirit in the illusion.
Ruyuan is a nine-tailed fox demon, so he also has some understanding of the Thousand Fox Obstacle. According to her, the guardian spirit in the Thousand Fox Obstacle is not a spirit in the ordinary illusion, but a diviner in the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.
The status of the diviner in the nine-tailed fox clan is second only to the patriarch, but he is the person with the strongest spiritual power in the clan. He was familiar with all the secret and forbidden techniques of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. He knows everything from mind reading, soul dementoring, seduction, and even all the magic that can take people's lives in an instant. The Thousand Fox Obstacle is not an illusion for the purpose of killing, but it is a more desperate illusion than killing. The Thousand Fox Obstacle will make people lost, frightened, and desperate, and gradually penetrate into the most fearful and desperate memories in their hearts, and then fall into it forever. Therefore, this Thousand Fox Obstacle can only be laid down by diviners, even if the patriarch accidentally enters, he may not be able to get out.
Come to think of it, if it's just for me and Ruyuan, there is no need to use the most powerful illusion of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, not to mention, the patriarch is Ruyuan's grandfather after all, does he really want to force his granddaughter to such a point?
In this fog, we have no direction but to follow our intuition and move forward into the depths of the fog. What I stepped on seemed to begin to drift, and I restrained the restlessness in my heart and crushed those memories that were about to move. But somehow, I always felt that something was stirring in my mind, as if I was about to break through the spiritual power that was surging out. This feeling is not a physical pain, but a deep torment from the soul.
"Like fate...... If you go on like this, will you really be able to find a fortune diviner?" I said with some difficulty, unconsciously stopping.
"What's wrong with you?" Ruyuan turned to look at me, her face changing, obviously sensing the torment in my expression.
"I don't know why, I just feel very uncomfortable in my heart, as if every step I take, I may see a very terrible scene, I am afraid to move forward, I am afraid to face it...... This unknown ...... "My hand was in a mess, and I only felt that my palm was cold and wet.
"There's no reason...... I've already sealed your senses, so you won't be affected by the obstacle anymore...... Could it be that I don't have enough spiritual power?" Ruyuan was also a little flustered.
As far as the eye can see, it is white. It is said that darkness can swallow everything, but now this thick fog seems to be able to suck everything in, even human will and memory......
"Rufate, I don't think I can find anything if I look for it like this. I tried to calm my impetuous emotions, and then said, "Since this Thousand Fox Obstacle is aimed at people's fragile memories, I guess the Diviner must be proficient in mind reading. No matter how strong your spiritual power is, it is not as strong as the diviner, so every time I move forward, the more I am affected by the spiritual power of the diviner, not to mention, you once said that there is a magic weapon in the Lingzhi forbidden domain that can awaken people's memories...... Maybe that's why I'm even more uncomfortable...... "There was a hint of hesitation, because I couldn't even be sure what the memories I was about to struggle with were are. Is it my own, or is it ...... Takumi Aoki.
"That'...... What are we going to do?" Ruyuan's eyes wandered, and she completely lost her mind. Perhaps, she is also beginning to fear that she will be trapped in this obstacle forever.
"Since this Thousand Fox Obstacle is based on the Mind Reading Technique, what if we do the other way around and cast a spell on the diviner?" I raised my head suddenly, looking at Ru Yuan firmly, maybe at this moment, I don't know what I'm talking about.
"Spell on the diviner?" Ruyuan's eyes widened and he stared at me incredulously.
I nodded emphatically. This time, I was much more sober than before, and I began to think about my proposal. If the soothsayer can snoop into our memories and find out our weaknesses, and he is not a spirit being, why can't we treat him in the same way in this obstacle?
When you enter the Thousand Fox Barrier, you will be immersed in the deepest fear, regret, helplessness, guilt and despair in your heart, so you have no time to care about whether this is true or false, whether it is false or real, and you have no time to think about how to deal with the real guardian spirit in the illusion. No matter how powerful the guardian spirit is, it can't withstand the collapse and fragility of his own heart. If there is no hope left, even the most ordinary road may not be able to end, let alone this misty Thousand Fox Fantasy Realm?
And at this moment, Ruyuan and I obviously got a chance to breathe, and we were not completely eroded by our own despair, so why not use the effect of the Thousand Fox Obstacle itself to deal with its guardian spirit? As long as the guardian spirit is damaged, the illusion will naturally lose its spiritual support and disappear.
The diviner's spiritual power is strong, and if he really encounters it, even if he can defeat him, it will be a vicious battle after all. Instead of exploring the unknown danger in a state of confusion, it is better to let this obstacle become the best cover-up, and then treat others in their own way, so that the diviner himself can reveal his flaws.
"You can also read minds, right?" I reminded Ru Yuan, looking at Ruyuan's still stunned expression.
Ruyuan came to her senses at this time, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes.
"But ......"
"If you don't try, how do you know you can't do it?" I suddenly became a little excited and urgent, and there was a strong wave of memory, and I just felt that my mind was about to explode, and the pain swept over again, and I clutched my forehead, trying to press back the flood of thoughts.
"I ...... How can I be able to defeat the diviner......" Ruyuan came close to support me, but he still hesitated.
Suddenly, I felt a convulsion, and my qi and blood instantly surged to the top of my head, as if a sharp knife had penetrated from the top of my head and pierced straight into my heart. I couldn't help but snort, my legs went limp, and a thicker and thicker fog began to appear in front of me, and if it wasn't for the help of fate, I would have almost collapsed.
I tried to close my eyes and calm the memories that kept flooding.
"Yinluo, what's wrong with you?"
"This is our only chance, I'll help you with the Sword of Harmony!"
I strained the last of my willpower, and the spiritual power began to wander through me, and I secretly chanted the incantation, and when I opened my eyes, the dazzling golden light had spread. A bolt of lightning split through the fog in front of him, and a long crack opened it.
I only felt a heart-piercing pain, and at this time, I forcibly urged the sword of Cangrong, and the power of the counterattack can also be imagined. But at this moment, I am not allowed to breathe, and with my current situation, it is very difficult to withstand the divine power of the Cangrong Sword, so maybe we only have one chance.
I put my mind down, endured the tumbling of memories and the sharp pain in my chest, and as soon as I retracted my spiritual power, the sword of Cangrong was instantly held in my hand.
"Ruyuan!" I shouted with all my might, and then, a scorching spiritual power flowed from the palm of my hand holding the Sword of Fusion, and I pointed the sword at Ruyuan, who had retreated to the side. In an instant, the sword of Cangrong emitted an incomparably dazzling light, and the light gradually converged into a line, and then suddenly erupted towards Ruyuan, there was really a volcanic eruption, and the sun was shining brightly! Only for a moment, Ruyuan was surrounded by a golden flame, and that power actually dispersed the surrounding fog, forming a huge circle of flames, and Ruyuan was in the middle.
"Quick!" I urged, because the power of the backlash in my body had suddenly increased a lot, and if I didn't take advantage of this opportunity, I was afraid that I would not be able to summon this divine sword again.
Ruyuan heard my call, closed her eyes slightly, her arms drew a circle in the air, and when she looked at it again, her whole person began to slowly leave the ground, suspended in mid-air. In the golden light around her, there were a few more traces of spiritual power that cruised like light gauze ribbons, although that color was not as strong and domineering as the golden light of the Cangrong Sword, it made people feel that the spiritual power actually had an inexplicable attraction, or a faint fear.
At this moment, I suddenly felt that the memories that were surging in my heart before were instantly pulled out by a strange force, as if there was a locked door that locked all the memories in it, but at this moment, the door was opened by a key, and suddenly opened. Memories were released, gushing out, only to be absorbed by another force again.
I suddenly felt much clearer, and the pain caused by the backlash of the Cangrong Sword became clearer, and I could almost feel that my hand holding the Cangrong Sword had begun to tremble with pain, and the light emitted by the Cangrong Sword gradually faded......
Just when I could barely maintain the spiritual power of the Melting Sword, I only felt that it was dark again in front of me, and after a short period of chaos, the sharp pain in my chest suddenly subsided, leaving only the numbness after the pain. I reluctantly adjusted my gaze again, and the miserable white mist spread again, and the light of the Melting Sword dimmed, except for the vague figure not far away, which gradually became clear, and seemed to be approaching me......
But at this moment, I didn't have any strength, my thoughts were hollowed out, and even my body was eroded by the sharp pain just now, and I only felt that the top of my head began to spin, and together with the surrounding mist, all the pain and dizziness were stirred together. Suddenly, there was a backlash, I only felt a force surging upwards from the dantian, and with a "bang", the sound of metal colliding with the ground sounded faintly in my ears, and I couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood, and then, I fell into endless darkness......
......
"Yinluo, you and I are of the same heart, and we will definitely be able to bring the beings of the Lush Forest back to the demon realm......"
......
"Yinluo, for you, I can give up anything, but this forest master's mission ......"
......
"Yinluo ......"
......
"Yinluo ......"
......
"Yinluo!
I clenched my hands, cold sweat gradually overflowed in my palms, I opened my eyes suddenly, and the pain instantly spread throughout my body.
I stared at the face that was gradually becoming clearer, but I couldn't stop panting, as if I was still immersed in the dream, and the distant voice of Nalan was still in my ears.
"Yinluo, what's wrong with you?"
I instinctively shook my head, but I was unaware.
"I ...... I'm fine......"
My mind began to return, and even though the pain in my body was getting stronger, my consciousness was getting clearer.
Thousand Fox Obstacle, Ruyuan, Mind Reading, Diviner......
"We, are we out?"
Only then did I realize that I had fallen half-collapsed to the ground, and I knelt down on one knee with one arm, so that I would not lie down.
Ruyuan nodded hurriedly, but she still looked at me worriedly, her beautiful forehead was slightly wrinkled.
I turned my head slightly, looked at the grass and trees around me, and there were bits of light on my face, and I really felt the warmth of my heart.
But immediately, I was taken aback. Because, in my sight, there is an extra person for no reason!
"Gishu, why are you here?"
As soon as I finished asking, I heard Ruyuan snort coldly and turned his head to the other side.
And not far from us, Jishu's vicissitudes of life look even more depressed at the moment, and between his eyebrows, there seem to be traces of pain. It seems that he has also entered the Thousand Fox Obstacle. However, how could he appear in this Lingzhi Forbidden Domain?
