Chapter 14: Too Illusory

The cave was lined with black stones, a few fairy grasses flashed with a bright blue light, and the faint light illuminated the front, Tao Hongjing groped his way forward.

"Really? Brother Xiao? Tao Hongjing called to the other two in a low voice, the echo circled around in the empty place, and did not get any response, Tao Hongjing took out a fire talisman, and a raging flame bloomed in front of him, but it startled the bats on the top of the cave.

There is only one road in the cave, Tao Hongjing faintly felt that something was wrong, he took a step back and wanted to exit, but found that the road he had just walked was standing up a stone wall at this time, this was actually a moving wall, blocking his retreat, Tao Hongjing, intended to break through the wall, but he couldn't move it for half a minute.

"Tao Gongzi, Tao Gongzi..."The light flashed in front of him, Liu Zhen'er's voice faintly came from not far away, Tao Hongjing was in a trance, the girl's hair was like flying clouds, and the figure in a lotus pink dress loomed, just like the appearance of the girl when they first met that year, Tao Hongjing followed Liu Zhen'er's figure forward in fascination.

I don't know how long I walked, the road I followed Liu Zhen'er was winding and turning, the cave was dark, and I didn't know the sun and moon outside, but Tao Hongjing's lips were already chapped, I didn't know the purpose of my move this time, I only knew that I wanted to follow Liu Zhen'er all the way.

"Tao Gongzi, you can go the next way by yourself, and Zhen'er will say goodbye to you here." Liu Zhen'er's moist eyes flickered, and the reluctance in her eyes was revealed, and after a while, her figure turned into a little light like a firefly and dispersed, Tao Hongjing mourned in his heart, and hurriedly grabbed a corner of the girl's clothes and asked, "Zhen'er, where are you going?" ”

Tao Hongjing only felt empty in his heart, and he took a few steps forward. The mountain spring continued to flow down the gap in the rock wall, the water in the cave was murmuring, and a hot breath actually came from inside, Tao Hongjing took a deep breath and resolutely stepped in.

Suddenly, the scenery in front of me changed, the desert was full of wind and dust, and the eyes were full of desolation. In the quiet and windless evening, the desert quietly exudes dazzling colors, and the sunset is right in the middle of a few beautiful cacti on the sand dunes, like a delicate and desolate ancient painting.

In the distance, a wisp of smoke rushed straight into the white sky in the vast desert. There was no wind, only endless sultry, a flag stained with yellow sand and decay hung weakly in the sun, and the corner of the eaves standing in the desert was an ancient inn baptized by endless years, and the whole inn was made of thick clods of earth, like a gray fortress, which had been worn away by the wind and sand, mottled and dilapidated.

On the eaves of the inn, a man and a woman stood opposite each other. The man stood with his back to Tao Hongjing, although he didn't see the other party's face clearly, but he was dressed in silver-white armor and was heroic, like a Qiongzhi jade tree born in the white water of the Black Mountain, revealing the brilliance of glass all his life, standing with a wooden sword in his hand, the sun was setting, the jackdaws were counting, and there was an indescribable heaviness between the steps of the swordsman.

The woman opposite was dressed in green clothes, and her ethereal and bright temperament was incompatible with this heaven and earth. There is a cinnabar mole in the center of her eyebrows, like a fairy who has fallen into the red dust, with a faint smile in her eyes, she looks gentle as water, but she inadvertently reveals a trace of evil.

"Excuse me, where is this?" Tao Hongjing asked tentatively, but the two of them turned a deaf ear, as if they hadn't seen him, and the next moment they actually fought in front of him.

The silver-armored man's body was like electricity, and the wooden sword in his hand pierced out a green light, cutting through the sky, and the sword qi swept through thousands of armies, and no one could stop it.

The woman's light cyan figure was as light as a young swallow, the jade hand stretched out the green sword in the scabbard, the wrist rotated slightly, and the green sword flashed as fast as lightning, the sword light flashed, but it merged with the woman's pale cyan and weak figure.

The silver sword danced wildly, the rainbow shadow and the ink shadow were mixed together, Tao Hongjing only heard the sound of fighting, but he didn't see how to fight. The sword is like a white snake spitting letters, hissing and breaking the wind, and like a swimming dragon shuttling, walking in all directions, sometimes light as a swallow, pointing the sword up, sometimes suddenly like lightning, and the fallen leaves collapse.

The woman's toes were slightly pointed, and she quickly retreated with light skills, her hands were sealed, her mouth was chanting, and a huge formation rose above her head, flashing with various runes and patterns in the formation, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura, her eyes were red, and her black hair was flying.

She turned into a monster with a human head and a beast body, only to see a pair of wings spread behind her, the feathers burned like flames, and the speed was as fast as lightning, and a palm was slapped, and a sun-like ball of light rose in the palm of her hand, quickly throwing the man in black away.

The speed was so fast, the man in black couldn't avoid it, and he was born by this move, the fireball burned the skin on his chest, emitting an unpleasant burning smell, the man quickly ran the exercise, his eyes were slightly closed, his body trembled slightly, and the air around him began to condense, forming layers of ice crystals that shimmered with cold light to wrap himself.

I saw that the woman's swallow-like light figure moved, and Ying Ying floated in front of the man's eyes, the man smelled a fierce murderous aura, and subconsciously raised his sword to resist, only to hear a choking sound, and suddenly heard the dragon groan of the sword blade.

"Qinglong, appear quickly." The man shouted, opened his mouth and spat out, spitting out a ball of flame, flames like a dragon, roaring and rushing towards the other party, burning everything to the ground. Giant cyan dragon shadow! Unleashed from the wooden sword, it entrenched in the massive sky behind the man.

The woman smiled lightly, her body bloomed with dazzling brilliance, and the magic weapons around her flew out one after another, revolving around her, she stretched out her fingers, and her fingertips emitted a cyan electric light, which was like a snake, wrapping around the other party's body, making him paralyzed.

He turned his head and saw that the woman had turned into a human body, holding a soft sword with her fingers, such flowers and branches, beautiful eyes, smiling on her cherry lips, raising her hand to avoid the enemy, as if nothing had happened, indescribably charming and gratifying, the man lost his mind all of a sudden.

The woman danced with the sword, her light body fluttering gracefully in the air, and her jet-black hair fluttering with the sword in the air. She suddenly approached the man, a flash of determination flashed in her eyes, she bit the tip of her tongue, a mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth, turned into a bloody light, and went straight to the center of the other party's eyebrows, the man was hit hard and fell to the ground, blood was drawn along the corner of his mouth, and his face was full of disbelief.

"Roarβ€”" The mournful roar of the green dragon resounded through the sky, as if it was mourning for the master, swinging its huge dragon tail to sweep the woman away. The woman turned into a monster again, opened her bloody mouth, and swallowed the green dragon in one gulp, the corners of her mouth seemed to have blood stains, the strange woman wiped the corners of her mouth, and looked at Tao Hongjing with a mysterious smile.

This situation and this scene deeply touched Tao Hongjing, the green dragon in his body appeared all of a sudden, constantly screaming, crying blood, Tao Hongjing's eyes were red, his face was distorted, he screamed, the true qi in his body surged wildly, bursting out with amazing power, destroying everything around, the power was so huge, Tao Hongjing finally couldn't control the true qi running around in his body, and fainted all of a sudden.

Outside the hallucination, in front of the huge lake as clear as a mirror, the little squirrel quietly watched what was happening in the depths of the cave, and when it saw the shadow of the green dragon floating on Tao Hongjing's body, it suddenly opened its round eyes.

The little squirrel was surprised and delighted, seeing that Tao Hongjing could not bear the power of the green dragon, he showed a painful look, hurriedly stretched out his fleshy claws, and drew a few times in the void, so that the phantom dispersed, and the stone door of the cave opened again, and he jumped in and rescued Tao Hongjing from sleep.

*

Liu Zhen'er has been walking around the cave since they were separated, and she remembers that when she walked forward, she would mark the stone wall with stone powder given by Tao Hongjing, but every time she turned the corner, she found that she seemed to be back in a similar place.

In this realm of the unknown, endless confusion and fear entwined through the deep darkness, wrapping and eating away at what little courage she had left. It's like a chaotic world, with no sky, no earth, no sound, only nothingness, and no echo even if you shout loudly. Cold sweat slid down his forehead and fell into the endless darkness before disappearing without a trace.

Time gradually passed, Liu Zhen'er's strength was close to nothingness, the cave was dark and damp, the cold invaded her body, she hugged her thin clothes, shivered, and continued to turn around and walk back. In a trance, the world changed, and the whole land was like a red-hot piece of iron, revealing a reddish brilliance. All the huge stone pillars and rock walls shone with terrifying blood. The earth shook violently, and a dull roar continued to be heard from deep underground.

The blood light covers the sun, this is a gloomy and blood-colored Shura world. Tall stone statues of demon gods stood majestically, stained with scarlet blood, and continuous patches of demons with different postures stood in this Nine Hells of Purgatory.

The endless cage floated in the air, the cage was pasted with all kinds of runes, the wind in the dark abyss blew, and the demon in the cage roared and roared at Liu Zhen'er.

Liu Zhen'er was completely shocked by the purgatory scene in front of her, her heart was full of horror, a series of terrifying speculations emerged in her mind, her lips turned white with fear, and her whole body trembled, at this time she faced all the ugliness and ferocity alone, and the only thing she could do was to run forward desperately.

The road ahead was bloody, endless blood-colored mist was swirling, the smell of the bloody wind was disgusting, and the scarlet blood water gathered into a river.

At the end of the abyss is a large hall, there are two magic circles in the center of the main hall, the one on the left is haunted by white light, and the one on the right is as black as ink, just like the Tai Chi pattern, Liu Zhen'er walked to the magic circle on the left, only to see a woman imprisoned in the center of the circle, her clothes were stained with blood, her face was pale, and the chains full of runes firmly locked her thin body on the formation platform, the shackles made of thorns pierced deep into her flesh, and the white fairy aura appeared at the woman's wound, but the shackles seemed to have been cast with a special spell, and the woman could not heal herself at all, and the wound turned black, deep visible bones.

The woman kept her head down, Liu Zhen'er called a few times in a low voice, trying to confirm whether she was still alive, but she didn't react, as if she had lost her soul, Liu Zhen'er looked closer, the woman's face was fully revealed, and she found that this woman looked a little similar to her!
