Volume 1: The Past of Qingluo Chapter 125 Strange Stories on the Way (2)
A light that exuded a sense of coldness emanated from the two lanterns, but these ghostly lights did not bring any sense of security to Li Changyue and the others, but made the two of them feel cold on their backs!
"Can't stop it, what's going on!"
Lu Zhiyuan was stunned, and subconsciously waved a palm qi, but after this True Yuan power came into contact with the lantern, it quickly disappeared, as if it had been swallowed up, and he could only stare at the lantern that was slowly flying over.
"There are a lot of strong resentments and spiritual wills attached to this lantern, let me try it!"
Seeing this strange phenomenon, Li Changyue's left hand, which he wanted to strike, paused at his side, and the true yuan in his body rotated with a wonderful meridian.
Then Li Changyue's eyes flashed with purple lightning, and his right arm was handed forward in a light attitude, and then Li Changyue's wrist flipped over, and then waved outward, and a strange scene happened.
When Li Changyue made a move, the purple light of his palm shadow seemed to be slow, and a "wall of light" was formed in mid-air, which was placed in front of him two lanterns ago.
The purple palm shadow was not dispersed by the light of the lantern again, and when it collided with the two lanterns, it suddenly erupted with a sound similar to the shattering of an object.
"Brother Li, something, there seems to be some monster hidden behind that lantern!"
"Get out of the way first, there is a force in this space that is difficult for us to fight against for the time being!"
With a snap, Li Changyue's hand grabbed Lu Zhiyuan's shoulder, and then quickly retreated backwards, and at this moment, the two lanterns the size of pumpkins completely shattered, like glass mirrors shattered by stones, and the fragments kept falling down one after another.
Lu Zhiyuan exclaimed in surprise, and then said with a happy face: "There is an exit, Brother Li, look at the other thing behind this lantern, your blow just now broke the cage here!" ”
"Don't be too happy, I haven't found a way out of this lost place until now!" Li Changyue said indifferently.
"Well, well, it looks like I'm going to have to ask for a lot of blessings!"
Lu Zhiyuan was hit by Li Changyue's words, his expression, which had just returned to normal, became solemn again, his heart beat a lot faster, and he held the sword weapon tightly in one hand to guard against possible threats.
Li Changyue and Lu Zhiyuan retreated more than a hundred meters behind and suddenly stopped, the aura around Li Changyue became more aggressive, and at the same time pulled Lu Zhiyuan, who planned to continue to dodge behind.
Li Changyue glanced at Lu Zhiyuan with deep eyes: "I can't retreat!" ”
"Why, if you don't leave this broken space, you're going to swallow us!" Lu Zhiyuan's expression was slightly stunned, but then his eyes changed, as if he sensed something, "It seems that we have no way out!" ”
At this time, Lu Zhiyuan found a terrifying situation, and the spatial "barriers" also appeared in the night sky behind him and on both sides, and this shattering spread towards the place where they were.
Lu Zhiyuan felt a little creepy: "The scene generated by the fragmentation of space in each direction is different, what does this mean, is it for us to make a choice?" ”
"The evil aura here has become much lighter, and the chaotic spiritual will with strong resentment is also absent, and the two lanterns and the space before have disappeared!" Li Changyue frowned and said with some doubts.
"Isn't that right, if it's really as strong as the yin and evil power just now, it's really hard to deal with, and I can't see the spiritual power fluctuations on your body no less!"
Lu Zhiyuan saw that the yin qi power just now had disappeared, and the tension between his eyebrows eased a lot, and he raised his big hand to rub his chest, grinning slightly.
Li Changyue's sturdy body took two steps forward, as if urging the power of divine thoughts to observe something, and it was not until a few breaths later that the edge of the shattered space in front of him had reached his eyes, and he slowly withdrew his gaze.
"Hehe, I'm afraid it's not that easy, as the saying goes, the unknown danger is the most terrifying, and now we do seem to feel that the power of yin and evil has slowed down a lot, but ......"
After a slight pause, he suddenly looked at Lu Zhiyuan meaningfully: "It can also be said that this yin evil power is particularly powerful, so powerful that it is difficult for us to feel its strength and existence, isn't this even more terrifying!" ”
When Lu Zhiyuan heard Li Changyue say this, his eyelids, which had been slackened, tightened again, and he flashed to Li Changyue's side with a vertical step.
Another flick of time passed, and the figures of Li Changyue and Lu Zhiyuan began to blur and flicker in the shattering space, and they did not fall apart.
Lu Zhiyuan swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, and grabbed one of Li Changyue's arms nervously with one hand: "Here, here, Brother Li, you see how the changes in this space will affect us, and then it's all up to you!" ”
"Since you don't feel threatened, let's see what's famous!" Li Changyue's lips pursed tightly.
Soon after the spatial barrier here was completely shattered, the figures of the two of them condensed again, and unlike before, the environment around them became sunny and well-lit, which was completely different from the previous secluded environment.
Time seems to have passed for a moment, and it seems that a long time has passed, when Li Changyue and Lu Zhiyuan looked at the surrounding scene again, the scene was completely different from before, the two of them were standing next to a two-story restaurant at this time, and the sign and wine banner on it were written "Anping Inn" four big characters.
"I'm so tired, this night is really tiring, but that strange place is really strange, obviously the power of yin and evil is very strong, but it didn't attack us!" Lu Zhiyuan looked like a dusty man, looking at Li Changyue with a tired expression.
"Maybe, but I don't think it's that simple, I always feel like the environment here makes me feel a little weird!" Li Changyue was in a much better state than Lu Zhiyuan, his eyes were clear, his divine light was restrained, and he seemed to be probing some things hidden in the dark.
Regarding the busy city in front of him, Li Changyue gently patted the dust on his body, and his face did not relax his vigilance, but then the movements in his hands paused, and the expression on his face changed suddenly, as if he had thought of something, and his eyes wandered on Lu Zhiyuan's body and his body for a while.
"How long we traveled, do you remember the time?"
"Needless to ask, we haven't rested since last night, more than six hours!"
"Two guests, you must have traveled a long way, you must be a little tired, but do you want to come into the store to serve some tea and food?" At this time, beside Li Changyue, a man in a short gray robe was opening his hands and politely beckoning the two of them.
Li Changyue originally planned to refuse directly and leave with Lu Zhiyuan, but when he looked at the short-robed man's gaze, he flashed a flash of brilliance, and then quickly returned to normal, flicked his sleeves at will, and made the appearance of a foot merchant: "It's okay, the shop will bring us a pot of tea, and then serve some and a few specialty dishes!" ”
"Okay, do you need a private room?" The shopkeeper asked expertly as he ushered the two into a two-story restaurant.
Li Changyue waved his hand, and then said to a window seat: "Don't bother so much, you can do it at this table!" ”
"Please sit down, things will come up in a moment!" After the man finished the reception, he hurriedly ran to the back to prepare the meal.
The guy turned around and walked into the back hall in three or two steps, Li Changyue seemed to glance at the people around him aimlessly, only to see more than twenty people sitting scattered in the lobby, several of them faintly exuding spiritual power fluctuations of different spiritual power intensities, and some were talking about something with laughter.
Turning around, he touched the table and chair in front of him behind him, and Li Changyue's eyes showed doubt.
"I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell for a while!"
"Brother Li, is there anything wrong?" Lu Zhiyuan saw the expression on Li Changyue's face, and also muttered, but quickly breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't be so nervous, anyway, it doesn't look dangerous now!" ”
At this moment, the guy from before ran out of the back hall in a hurry, and at the same time held a tray with a pot of tea and some side dishes on it.
"Two, please use it slowly!"
This guy skillfully placed the tea and dishes on the tray on the table one by one, although his eyes looked ahead, his eyes did not focus on Li Changyue and Lu Zhiyuan, from beginning to end it was a signature action, without any individual expression, and after a polite sentence with a smile, he turned around and came to the door again, ready to entertain other guests at any time.
During this process, Li Changyue kept looking at this guy with a deep gaze, until he turned to leave, and suddenly his face trembled slightly, and his body paused, as if he had noticed something.
At this time, Lu Zhiyuan saw that the tea and vegetables were put on the table, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't care so much, so he casually took two empty teacups and two pairs of chopsticks from the table, placed them in front of Li Changyue and himself, and then poured two more cups of tea.
"Hey, Brother Li, it's been a long time since I've tasted decent dishes, I've been taking pills and I'm about to fade out, don't be stunned, let's eat!"
"Wait a minute, what's the hurry!"
With a snap, Lu Zhiyuan, who was about to pick up the tea bowl and prepare to drink, was suddenly grabbed by a hand on his wrist, and the tea bowl stopped in mid-air.
"You're ......"
Li Changyue said slowly: "I thought it was a little strange before, but now it seems that the people here are missing a trace of charm, well, there is a trace of sluggishness in the spirit, and the surrounding scenery is also overwhelmed, not the scene that a town should have!" ”
Lu Zhiyuan's mouth opened slightly, and he whispered in disbelief: "Ah, no, I think it's quite normal around here, I'm not tired and have no spirit now, isn't it good to have enough spiritual power?" ”
"Yin and Yang are born together, and things must be reversed, cultivators still need Yin and Yang to reconcile, and secretly conform to the rules of heaven and earth, not to mention this lush town, as for people, no soul and fatigue are two different things spiritually!"
"You mean ......"
However, before Lu Zhiyuan finished speaking, the surrounding scenery suddenly began to change violently as if it had been exposed to some signal, and the decorations in the entire lobby seemed to have been stripped of color, and suddenly became dim, while the teapots and dishes beside the two of them became rotten and moldy, and the tea in the cups turned black and green.
"Ah, that's true!"
With a snap, Lu Zhiyuan slammed the teacup in his hand on the table, and there was a loud sound, and the black water that spilled out corroded the old desktop into a big hole.
"What the hell is going on, I feel like my brain is a little messy!" Lu Zhiyuan's eyes were a little confused, and he shouted at a loss.
"What are you doing in a daze, we're still in the Strange Domain, follow me!"
Li Changyue took Lu Zhiyuan with a rapid flash and came a few meters away, and the tables and chairs where the two of them were were torn apart by two violent winds.
The two of them looked at each other, and the attack on them turned out to be two zombie-like things with withered hair, messy hair, hollow eyes, and some blood left at the corners of their mouths.
