Chapter Ninety-Three: Mirage
Rain.
Densely sprinkled on the earth.
There was darkness between heaven and earth.
The lightning and thunder in the sky did not stop, and the sound of killing soldiers on the ground was endless.
Thousands of miles away, Guguan Mountain, but it retains the same tranquility as ever.
Jiang Jin and Feng Mianhua stood in front of the snowfield that they had reached many times, looking at the empty heaven and earth, and sighed: "If this was not known in advance, who would have thought that there would be a huge mountain range hidden here?"
At this time, there is no snow in the snowfield, but a lush meadow.
There wasn't even a tall hill in the endless meadow.
Even if he knew that this maze was set up here, it still surprised Jiang Jin.
Most of the general phantom arrays that confuse others are to disturb perception, making people keep spinning in circles, not to mention whether they have the strength to break the formation, as long as people with more delicate minds can find the clues after a long time.
But Jiang Jin and Feng Mianhua had arrived at this snowfield more than once, and even came and gone many times. But I didn't notice anything wrong there. It's like an ordinary grassland, and there's no abnormality at all. If it weren't for that, how could he be willing to give up and leave the North for Middle-earth?
This time I came here again, with the talisman given by Fu Yang Immortal Jun in my hand, and only traveled a few miles north from the town where the house was empty. I was already able to use the power of the talisman to vaguely feel that there seemed to be some behemoth towering in front of me.
The two of them finally stopped in front of the hidden Guguan Mountain under the guidance of the talisman. According to Fu Yang Immortal Jun's instructions, each pinched the trick and attracted the spiritual power of the four directions to converge, forming a spiritual power return in front of him.
I don't know when the sound of wind and rain in my ears stopped, and all the sounds around me seemed to be constantly moving away and weakening.
Suddenly, Jiang Jin seemed to hear a slight wave as if the blister was bursting, and it seemed that there was nothing. Everything in front of me began to change suddenly.
The snow-capped mountains, which did not have the original, began to show their own shape inch by inch, and they were unclear of the edge, separating the northern border of Dafu from the extreme northern ice field on the other side, and it was completely impossible to see what the other side was.
"Before we set off, Xianjun said that Guguan Mountain is full of formations set up by Bai Zhi Shangxian, and if you are not familiar with it, you will definitely be trapped and can't leave. At the same time, it will also alarm the owner of Guguan Mountain for the first time, as long as he holds the talisman, he can sneak into it quietly. ”
Jiang Jin said this, groping for the talisman given by Fu Yang Immortal Jun in his hand, with a bit of interest in his eyes.
"If this kind of thing is obtained by the demon clan, I'm afraid that this Guguan Mountain will be a pillar of heaven, and it won't be able to stop the demon clan from returning to the other continent. ”
Feng Mianhua just glanced at him lightly with those amorous eyes, and didn't say anything.
Jiang Jin walked in front with the talisman, and those formations to protect the mountain were all as if they were nothing, so that they stepped into the Guguan Mountain as easily as if they had entered a no-man's land.
It's much calmer here than the outside world, even if it's still dancing with wind and snow, it's not as violent as the storm outside, but it's as gentle as a girl from a water town.
Feng Mianhua raised her hand, watching the falling snowflakes melt and disappear in the palm of her hand, her eyebrows moved slightly, and said, "It is worthy of being a heavenly pillar, but the spiritual power is countless times richer than elsewhere." ”
They have been to many places, and the phenomenon of wind-blown snow is not unique here, but it is not like here in other places, where snow falls all year round.
The climate of Guguan Mountain is originally very cold because of the topography, covered with ice and snow all year round, and the wind-blown snow condensed by those spiritual powers is easy to make people mistake it for ordinary natural wind and snow. But if you can get up close and personal like Feng Mianhua, you can easily distinguish the difference between the two. It's just that Guguan Mountain is hidden by the formation, and just looking at the fact that they haven't been able to find a place to enter here for so many years before, they also know that ordinary people can't get here
Jiang Jin didn't stretch out his hand, he wasn't like Feng Mianhua, because his body was weak and holding an umbrella to shield him from the wind and snow. It's that the whole person is so arrogantly exposed to the wind and snow, and the natural feeling is more obvious than the wind sleepy flower.
"Come on, go up the mountain first and find that Shen Yan girl. ”
Jiang Jin was actually very curious about why Fu Yang Immortal Jun had to kill Shen Yan, but he couldn't refuse Fu Yang Immortal Jun's request. This is what the Jiang family promised back then. He didn't have anything to do with Shen Yan, although this move was a little unsympathetic to her, but he was even more afraid that something would happen to his younger brother because he angered Fu Yang Immortal Monarch.
Although Fu Yang Immortal Jun only suggested that they go to find the ghost doctor Cangming, everyone knew that Cangming's whereabouts were a mystery, and unless he exposed his tracks, no one would know where he would appear. And at that time, the other party went to Taixuanzong, as a distinguished guest of Taixuanzong Taishang Elder Mo Feiyu, he lived on Feiyu Peak, Jiang Jinmo was from the Jiang family's immortal sect, and all factions would give a little thin noodles, but he was not qualified to go to a place like Feiyu Peak, which belonged to the sect. It was also Fu Yang Xianjun who gave Ling Jian, and at that time, the boy who guarded the peak was willing to convey the news.
At that time, Fu Yang Immortal Jun was still in the fairy world, although he didn't know if the barrier between the fairy world and the human world could work on him, but at that time, he could control the affairs of the world, and now in the world, he can only do more.
But if there is a little disadvantage to Jiang Jinyu, Jiang Jin will not dare to take risks. Now, I can only be sorry for Shen Yan.
The closer he got to the Bingxi marked on the map, the tighter Jiang Jin's brows became.
Although Feng Mianhua knew what he was struggling with in his heart, he knew that his current friends didn't need him to say anything to comfort him.
Jiang Jin can always figure it out by himself.
And Jiang Jin is indeed as Feng Mianhua thinks, and he doesn't need others to say anything to him. Although he was obsessed with love and read almost all the books in the world, he did not learn the character of a saint from them, and not only that, but he was not a person with good intentions. It's just that the family he was born in doesn't need anything to have a superior environment, and there are two older brothers on it who handle most of the things, and these natures have not been discovered except for people like Feng Mianhua who know each other very well.
No matter how much you frown and struggle, what you should do in the end will not be soft at all.
This is also the reason why Fu Yang Immortal Jun chose to let him come.
Feng Mianhua saw the purple flower tree standing on the edge of the cliff outside the small courtyard on the mountain, and was reluctant to move her steps. Jiang Jin didn't urge him, and went to the ice stream alone.
Sure enough, I saw Shen Yan sitting inside, and he didn't react to the outside world at all.
Even if Jiang Jin had broken through those defensive formations, she was still sitting on the ground, her eyes closed and not moving.
Jiang Jin couldn't help but feel a little strange. Although a practitioner is fully engaged in comprehending the Dharma when he is in retreat, it is not like this, and there is no reaction when someone has already arrived in front of him.
He originally thought that Shen Yan should also have some formation around her to protect her safety, but he didn't expect that even if there was no talisman, he would actually approach her directly.
As the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, Jiang Jin did not relax because he didn't see that Shen Yan had no protection around him, but instead raised his vigilance and did not act rashly.
After several temptations, Jiang Jin also determined that Shen Yan's body was indeed completely unprotected. While he was puzzled, he couldn't help but be a little curious and surprised, although the cultivators would find a safe place to retreat, and those who had a teacher would have elders to protect the Dharma at critical times. But that doesn't mean that there won't be any means of protection left around them, after all, even the elder protectors are not really foolproof.
Strange and strange, Jiang Jin's hand conjured up the short sword given by Fu Yang Immortal Jun, and he held it in his hand and checked it. The dagger doesn't seem to weigh much, but in fact, it doesn't weigh much when you hold it in your hand, and I don't know what material it is made of.
Thinking that since it was taken out by Fu Yang Immortal Jun, it was not a strange thing that he couldn't recognize it.
Jiang Jin pursed his lips slightly, and said to Shen Yan: "Although you and I have no grievances, I am also acting on orders......
Before he finished speaking, he directly threw the short sword in his hand.
The short sword faintly made a sound of breaking the sky in the air, obviously there was not much distance, but it stopped as if it was blocked by some invisible force when it finally approached Shen Yan's body, and the entire sword body buzzed.
At the same time, the formations in various places in the ice stream were suddenly activated.
Such a change made Jiang Jin suddenly startled, he glanced around with a solemn expression, and said, "I miscalculated." ”
This turned out to be a chain of formations, stacked on top of each other with countless layers of unnamed formations that were both offensive and defensive.
Jiang Jin sweated for his carelessness, and when he was about to flee, he found that things were not what he imagined.
After these formations were activated, a vast white mist suddenly rose in the entire cave, just like the white mist that appeared when the ice in it was evaporated by high temperatures, and it became thicker and thicker, until it finally reached the point where you couldn't see your fingers.
"Mirage?" Jiang Jin's expression had become a lot more ugly when he recognized the origin of these white mists.
If it's just a formation, it's fine, but if it's a mirage.......
While he was thinking about it, he heard someone ask, "Who are you?"
The mirage around him began to slowly dissipate, and the cave that was originally formed by the condensation of ice turned into a verdant bamboo forest at this moment.
Jiang Jin saw that not far from his side stood at some point a girl wearing a dark skirt, combed in a double bun, only decorated with two bright red headbands, and nothing else. And this girl happened to be the target he was ordered to kill this time.
"Are you Shen Yan?" Although he had heard of the existence of mirage before, it was the first time he had really met him, and Jiang Jin didn't know whether the time he was experiencing now was his own imagination or true, and his voice was a little hesitant to ask.
When he clenched his hand, he actually held the short sword.
He remembered that the sword had been taken out of his hand earlier.
Thinking like this, Jiang Jin subconsciously touched it with his hand, and the jade-like touch was like the Juxue sword in the famous sword list. It's just that Ju Xue's whereabouts have disappeared for many years with the death of Bai Ying, the sword master of that generation, fifty years ago, and now even the Famous Sword Villa doesn't know where it is. He is from the Famous Sword Villa, although he has never seen Ju Xue, but he also knows very well that this sword is not Ju Xue's sword.
The girl who looked exactly like Shen Yan was obviously shocked when he said her name: "Shen Yan, do you mean my name is Shen Yan? Since you know my name, do you know who I am?"
She asked several questions in a row, and Jiang Jin was stunned. It was the first time he had seen Shen Yan, and now it was obvious that he had come to such a place because of the influence of the mirage, so naturally he didn't know whether the real Shen Yan in front of him was not.
Or seeing that he didn't reply for a long time, the girl's expression darkened a little: "When I opened my eyes here, I was alone." I don't remember anything in my head, only vaguely what seems to be going to do, and I can only leave this place when I do it. ”
Jiang Jin didn't like wide sleeves before, but this time he came here as the fourth owner of the Famous Sword Villa, and naturally he also wore a dress that could represent the identity of the Famous Sword Villa. It just so happens that although the clothes designed by the clothing workshop recently do not affect the action, they are also very gorgeous in layers. He hid the short sword in his hand with the help of his wide sleeves, and said quietly: "I saw that the girl was very similar to my ancient life, and I recognized it for a while, not because I knew the girl. That's right...... Has the girl been here for a long time?"
The girl did not doubt him, nodded and said, "Yes." I've been here for more than 300 days. Speaking of this, she pursed her lips in some distress: "I don't know what to do....... I can only stay in this bamboo forest. Far away, it was a thick fog that I couldn't see clearly, and I was afraid of any danger, so I never dared to go into those fogs. Before you appeared, there was a thick white fog here, and then after you appeared, the fog dissipated. ”
As she spoke, Jiang Jin was also paying attention to the situation around her. Indeed, as the girl said, the only thing that can be seen is this very dense bamboo forest, and the farther away is the dense fog from shallow to deep.
According to what she said, when he appeared here, the white fog dissipated here, could it be that someone came here through a mirage to disperse the thick fog a little?
It's just that although Guguan Mountain is one of the three mountains, it is not as many disciples as Taixuan Mountain and Changlan Mountain, but it is passed down from generation to generation. This time, after he and Feng Mianhua came, he only saw Shen Yan, who seemed to be unable to sense the outside world in retreat, and Bai Zhi Shangxian was completely nowhere to be found. Even if they are, they add up to only four people. And the place shrouded in white fog here looks like more than four people can disperse.
"The girl just said what do you think you have to do to get out of here?"
"That's right. The girl said this, and said, "You can call me Ah Yan." I don't remember my name, I used to be fine when I was alone, but now you have to have a name. Since I have a similar face to your old man named Shen Yan, then I will borrow a word from her name with a shy face. ”
Jiang Jin has no opinion on this, anyway, he is neither himself nor an old man. "How do you think that?"
"I don't know, it's just that when I open my eyes and find that I'm here, I have this feeling in my subconscious. Ah Yan touched the back of his head, and he was also distressed.
Seeing that she really couldn't ask anything else here, Jiang Jin didn't waste time, touched the short sword in his sleeve, and asked while walking towards the place shrouded in the fog in front of her: "The girl said that she was afraid of being alone, but now it's two people, why don't you go with me to find out what will be in the fog?" ”
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
