The two of them walked along the winding mountain road under their feet.

As soon as I entered the green reeds, I felt that the sky suddenly darkened, and the green reeds on both sides were arching and guarding, and the branches and leaves intersected, covering the sky overhead, leaving only the sporadic sunlight through the leaf cracks.

While walking, there was a strange silence, and even the sound of insects disappeared.

After walking for about half an hour, Su Mai suddenly felt that something was faintly wrong, if the silence before was because of the rare human tracks in the green reeds, the branches were tall and dense, but at this moment in it, it was a death-like silence, no anger at all, as if even time had stood still, walking through it, couldn't help but make people feel cold.

What frightened him even more was that the green reeds on both sides had not changed since they entered, and the road in front of him zigzagged into the distance, seemingly endless.

Su Mai looked at Wu You with some uneasiness, as if he wanted to seek an answer.

Wu You pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "It's strange, I used to read the book that this hundred miles of green reeds is a spiritual land, growing all kinds of exotic beast elixirs, people often come here to explore and take treasures, it is said that it should be quite lively, and Uncle Li said, through this green reeds, you can see the mountain gate of the Iron Sword Gate, how does it seem that you can't finish walking, it is said that it should not be so quiet, it feels like leaving the world, since this is the only way to enter the Iron Sword Gate, it should be passed by ordinary people."

Wu You said, but there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, the road in front of him should not lead to the Netherworld.

Following the unchanged green reed path, the two continued to move forward cautiously, and after about a quarter of an hour, Su Mai, who was walking in front, stopped.

In front of me were five identical paths, which also curved into the distance.

At first glance, I thought I was dazzled, and I was about to take a closer look, but a strange cry from Wu You came from behind me: "What's the matter, how can there be five identical roads?"

Su Mai was silent for a moment, looked at the five strange paths in front of him, and thought for a while: "If I guess correctly, we may have entered some kind of formation, and among the five paths in front of us, only one is true, and the others are all illusions." ”

"Formation?"

Wu You was shocked: "Who will set up the formation here, what's the matter with the illusion?"

"There may be people who are doing some secret thing here, so they set up a suspicious array and use the illusion to lure the people who come in to other places. ”

"What happens when you enter the illusion?" Wu You asked curiously.

"When I was chatting with the old man before, I heard him say that some cultivators would use the qi of heaven and earth to create illusions for a certain purpose, leading people into illusions, and simple illusions would only make people lose themselves, constantly moving forward, but forever spinning in place until the formation failed. However, some of the formations set up by the masters of the Tao no longer need the guidance of magic weapons, they are set up from the void, they are extremely difficult to see, and they often hide dangers, and can even contain yin and evil qi, invade the human body, make their minds scattered, fall into a state of chaos, and be used by people," Su Mai said.

"So what's going on now?" Wu Yu said busily.

Before arriving at the Iron Sword Gate, no one wants to be trapped here inexplicably.

Su Mai didn't answer, but walked to the path on the far right, and looked at it carefully, but didn't find anything unusual.

Walking about ten feet, suddenly my eyes lit up, and I found that there was a strange object in the middle of two green reeds not far away, which was shining with a faint blue light.

When he took a closer look, he found that there was a wooden sign upside down on the ground, engraved with ghost images and some strange runes.

casually picked up the order flag on the ground, but found that in addition to the skeleton and runes on the front, the reverse side was also engraved with the word "heaven" in a seal body.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Su Mai's mind, and he laughed and said, "Lost Order, haha, as expected." ”

Wu You heard Su Mai's laughter, hurriedly rushed over, and asked, "What is the Five Ghost Trace Technique, have you found your way?"

"These five ghost tracing techniques are a kind of formation that confuses the direction, using the alternation of yin and yang to guide the formation of illusions with the order flag, aiming to confuse people's eyes and not hurt people's lives. At a maximum of twelve hours, the illusion will disappear by itself. ”

"Are we going to sit here for twelve hours?" Wu You said with some annoyance.

It was a gloomy and lifeless place, and he didn't want to stay any longer.

"Okay, now that we know these five ghost tracking techniques, as long as we find the location of the royal order, we can get out."

"How do you find this royal order?" Wu Yu asked anxiously.

"The king's decree changes with the change of the hour, and the five ghosts of heaven, earth, man, gods, and ghosts can all be kings"

"Since the royal decree is changing all the time, how can we find it?" Wu You asked.

"The key is to calculate the time of the formation, and you can find out the royal order when combined with the current hour"

Su Mai pondered for a moment, and then said: "I heard the old man say that these five ghost maze techniques are the most suitable to cast when the noon qi machine is at its peak. As the hours alternated, the qi of heaven and earth also changed, and the king's order continued to change hands. It is said that these five ghost traces to a certain level, can gather resentment, drive away ghosts, and can also absorb the surrounding spiritual energy, forming spiritual eyes, which is beneficial to those who cultivate the truth."

"When we left Mingquan Village, it was noon, and we walked for about an hour to this green reed, and after turning here for so long, it was about an hour, and looking at the shadows sprinkled by the sun, it was estimated that it should be Shenshi now. ”

After a pause, Su Mai continued: "The Five Ghost Mystery Technique is guided by the sky, and the ghost is the boundary, if the spell is cast at noon, the king order should be 'human' at this time."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's hurry up and find the word 'people' Lingqi", Wu You said with great joy.

After a little discussion, the two of them split up and walked towards the road in front of them, and soon heard Wu You shouting: "Found it."

After speaking, he saw him running back from the second lane on the left, and Su Mai immediately retreated from the middle path when he heard this.

Looking at the dark and mysterious wooden card in Wu You's hand, Su Mai was shocked and shouted: "Insert it back quickly, otherwise the yin and yang will be reversed, and the royal order will change again."

When Wu You heard this, he immediately turned around and ran towards the original road, and after a while, he turned back empty-handed, looked at Su Mai and asked, "Why is the yin and yang reversed?"

Su Mai replied: "The Five Ghost Mystery Technique is set up by the qi of heaven and earth, the five ghosts rotate, each other is the main and secondary, endless, if a flag is missing, it will be disordered, yin and yang are dislocated, and the king's order changes randomly, and it will be difficult for us to find it again."

After speaking, regardless of the frightened Wu You, he raised his leg and walked forward, Wu You was stunned for a moment, and then strode to follow.

Finding the location of Wang Ling, Su Mai and Wu You hurried towards the path where the "human" character Lingqi was located.

The surroundings are still the same green reeds, the same dead silence, but the two of them are full of joy, the emotion of getting out of trouble has filled their brains, thinking that they will soon see the valley where the Iron Sword Gate is located, they are faintly excited and even excited, and they don't care much about the surrounding scenery.

Not long after they entered, a layer of white mist suddenly appeared on the deep path behind them, gradually thickening, gradually hiding everything around them into the mist, and it was already white for a moment, and they couldn't tell where they came, but the two of them were moving forward with one heart, and no one paid attention to the strange situation behind them.

After about a quarter of an hour of walking like this, Su Mai suddenly felt that something was wrong, the surroundings were too quiet, so quiet that even Wu You's voice could not be heard, and the original speckled yang was gone, and when he looked back, he only felt that there was a white fog behind him, and there was nothing, and Wu You disappeared without knowing when.

Su Mai shouted a few times, but did not see a response, his heart was faintly a little uneasy, his heart said that this white fog came too strangely, Wu You's disappearance should be related to this fog, he clearly remembered that it was the same green reed path when he came, and he did not see the slightest fog, and at this moment it was the time of Shenpai, although it was a little cold here, but it was impossible to fog it.

At this time, Su Mai had fallen into a dilemma, there was no way to retreat, if he went forward, he was indeed a little stunned in his heart, and vaguely felt that they should have taken the wrong path, and what was unfolding in front of him at this moment should be the illusion born by the Five Ghost Trace Technique.

After thinking for a moment and glancing helplessly at the fog behind him, Su Mai decided to go ahead and take a look.

He carefully followed the path under his feet, and after turning a few corners, a surprising scene appeared in front of him, and five identical roads appeared in front of him like a reversal of time and space.

"The five ghosts rotate, endlessly, it seems that if you go further, it should be the same situation, the illusion is constantly evolving, endless, and if you continue like this, you have to tire people to death. ”

Su Mai squatted on the ground in some despair and muttered to himself.

When he was running out of options, he was going to sit on the spot and wait for the hour to run out, and the illusion disappeared automatically, when he suddenly remembered what Tian Suizi said to him when he talked about the Five Ghost Trace Technique:

"Illusion is born from the heart, the heart is disillusioned, the five ghosts are designed to confuse the eyes, can not be fascinated, all kinds of changes, are all illusory, if you turn a blind eye, the heart has its own clear. ”

"All kinds of changes are all illusions, that is, everything in front of me is fake, and along with the road under my feet, it turns out that I have been at the entrance all along, and I have not left. Su Mai scratched his head, as if he understood a little, but he didn't quite understand.

After a while, I saw him suddenly turn around, close his eyes, and rush into the fog behind him.

......

Wu You followed behind Su Mai, originally the two were only separated by less than a zhang distance, walked for a while, but found that the figure in front of him seemed to be walking faster and faster, Wu You followed behind with difficulty, turned a corner, but found that Su Mai had disappeared without a trace.

"What's going on with Su Mai today, he suddenly ran so fast, and there was no treasure in front of him", Wu You kept complaining while chasing after him.

"Sumai...... Sumai ...... Su Mai ...... "The four fields are empty, and there is not even an echo.

Wu You felt something strange and stopped calling, thinking that even if Su Mai walked fast, he should be able to answer when he heard my shout, why didn't there be any movement at this moment.

After pausing for a moment and looking at the green reeds in front of him, except that it was darker than when he came, it was nothing special, Wu You shook his head and said to himself: "Maybe it's really me walking too slowly, Su Mai should be waiting for me in front." ”

After some self-comfort, Wu You cheered up and walked forward.

In less than a moment, Wu You encountered the same confusion as Su Mai, five of the same trails were lined up in front of him, just like when he first entered, the intersection was empty, and Su Mai did not wait for him in front as expected.

Wu Youhuo stopped, and in the face of this sudden fork in the road, he suddenly felt a little confused, and said in his heart: "I found the royal order, can't I go out all the time, how can there be a fork in the road?"

"Su Mai is too unrighteous, go first, don't wait at the intersection, or make a sign", Wu You was a little frustrated, and was a little angry at Su Mai for not telling him.

Su Mai is gone, and now he has to rely on himself.

Wu You looked at the five small strips in front of him, and traveled a distance from the right side in turn, trying to search for the mysterious Lingqi he had found before, but disappointingly, he found nothing except the tall and dense green reed poles.

"For today's plan, I can only go in the direction I came", Wu You sighed, and walked in along the second road on the left, still not looking back, looking at the fog behind him.

Along the somewhat boring path all the way forward, Wu You gradually noticed something strange, the path in front of him was no longer as winding as before, but straight forward, looking deep and cold, endless, I don't know where it leads.

Looking at the straight path under his feet, Wu You felt a little dazed, and a little bored, walking alone on this cold and dead path, walking alone, the road ahead was confused, and the sides were still the same green and blue color.

This is an invisible torment for him, how he misses the old days at this moment, all the happy and unhappy everything, at least he himself is really alive, and everything in front of him really makes him feel independent.

"It would be nice if there were some sounds, even if it was a bug barking," Wu You was a little exhausted and whispered to himself.

As he walked, Wu You's eyes began to blur, as if the sky felt something, and there were really voices in his ears, familiar and unfamiliar, shouting, fighting, and the cry of a baby.

More than ten years of life were repeated like a shadow play, and finally disappeared.

Wu You had mixed feelings for a while, and it seemed that he was back to the situation of the Wu family's clan meeting after his father's death.

In the ancestral hall, the father's spiritual position was new, the bones were not cold, and dozens of elders and relatives gathered together to discuss not the father's funeral, but how to deal with his orphan.

He clearly remembered that that day the second uncle instigated the elders of each hall to drive him, an ominous evil seed, out of the Wu family, and only Uncle Fang, who usually followed his father, was present to protect him, and finally he was kicked out of the house, and even his house was burned down, and later I heard that Uncle Fang was nowhere to be found.

"Xiao You......" A heavy voice sounded from the void.

Wu You's heart was shocked, and he shouted frantically, "Dad...... Father...... Where are you, don't leave me...... Daddy ......".

"The five ghosts are lost, and the carving insect skills are very harmful!"

A loud voice came after the faint sound, and as soon as his mind became hot, Wu You fainted.
