Chapter 117: The Old Man Smells
Ahead is still a wilderness with no end in sight, as if it will never be able to go to the edge. Not only Jiang Lili and Wu Zhou, but even the ghost mother was extremely suspicious, and the only careless and heartless person could only be Cheng Ru and the eight ghost babies.
Cheng Ru woke up from a drunken sleep before, and after seeing Wu Zhou's extremely ragged clothes and pale face, he couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with you? Could it be that something big happened when I was sleeping?"
If it weren't for Jiang Lili pulling him down, Cheng Ru was afraid that he wouldn't have lived long.
Nowadays, life is not so difficult at all, at least you don't have to walk by yourself, but sitting on the back of a sand crab all day long is boring, and at the cost of spending a big bag of melons and fruits, I asked those ghost babies to find a thing for themselves that can be used as a mount, a small sand crab. This sand crab is much better than the black-skinned scorpion that the ghost baby dragged out of the gravel, but after Cheng Ru sat on it, it was still unbearable. And the most uncomfortable thing is this black-skinned sand crab, you know, that small sand crab is its offspring!
When there is nothing to do, Cheng Ru asks the sand crab to hang on the paws of the giant sand crab, and if he has a playful heart, he jumps directly from the back of the giant sand crab, and sits on the little sand crab to play with those ghost babies, and compares to see who can run faster, but also happy.
It's just that how can the little sand crab run fast after Cheng Ru on his back? Therefore, he was scolded a lot by Cheng Ru, which made others look aggrieved.
At this moment, Cheng Ru was sitting on the back of the sand crab and yelling at those ghost babies to run slower and wait for him. But the ghost baby is a treacherous and cunning thing, how can he listen to Cheng Ruyi's words? One by one, they ostentatiously rode their mounts, circled around Cheng Ruyi, and then quickly squeaked and laughed and ran away. Cheng Ru hated and scolded the sand crab under his buttocks, "What the hell? You spent a bag of melons and fruits in exchange for it! Could it be that you only have this little strength? Why don't you run for Lao Tzu faster! Run, run, run! If you can't run, Lao Tzu will take your stew today!"
After hearing Cheng Ru's words, the little sand crab still couldn't get up, but the giant sand crab sped up his steps slightly.
Too lazy to pay attention to this Cheng Ru messing around here, Jiang Lili was a little upset at the moment, he always felt that his group was "going astray", but the pointer on the pointing needle was not fake. It stands to reason that after these few days of traveling, it should be time to get out of this wilderness, but there are still no ghosts around them, and only a few yin spirits have been floating in the air, absorbing this few yin qi.
After taking out the guiding needle and looking at it for a while, Jiang Lili took it into his arms and said to Wu Zhou: "You fly up and see if there is no boundary ahead!"
Wu Zhou replied: "It's more reliable for you to call the ghost mother in this matter, after all, her cultivation is high, and her eyesight is much stronger than mine, and even she has to fly farther than me!"
At the end, Wu Zhou turned his head to look at the ghost mother, and said with a sneer: "Is this the reason? I'm not wrong, right?"
The ghost mother snorted coldly, and without saying a word, slowly rose into the sky, and disappeared after a while. After about a stick of incense, I saw that the ghost mother Dai frowned and fell on the back of the sand crab again, and said: "I just flew to a height of hundreds of zhang, but when I looked into the distance, something covered my eyes in a daze. If you descend to a height of a hundred or so feet, you will only see an endless wilderness of rocks ahead!"
Jiang Lili's face was solemn, he turned his head to look at Wu Zhou, and said in a deep voice: "Presumably we are indeed off track, but we don't know where we are now, whether we have gone astray into an unknown wilderness, or are we γγγγγγ β
"It's still in an illusion at all!" Wu Zhou continued, "I'm more inclined to the second one, if there is this wilderness, it must be some fame, and it is impossible for no one to know about it." β
Jiang Lili nodded, and then his face became difficult to look at again, "But now that this illusion is hazy and boundless, how can we crack it?"
This is indeed a difficult problem, and several people glanced at each other, and then turned their heads to look at the endless wilderness, with a weak expression.
Just when he was worried, he suddenly heard Cheng Ru shouting loudly under the feet of the sand crab, "Hey, guess what I found?!"
Jiang Lili was worried at the moment, and Leng Buding was annoyed after hearing Cheng Ru's shout, "You are arguing! Get out! Don't bother Lao Tzu!"
Cheng Ru was no longer surprised by Jiang Lili's appearance, and still waved at him and shouted, "There is really something!
As he spoke, several ghost babies also ran after him, standing on top of their respective mounts and shouting.
Seeing that this appearance didn't look like a fake, Jiang Lili hesitated for a moment and then jumped off the back of the sand crab, and said to Cheng Ru: "You'd better show me a good thing! If you let me know that you are entertaining me, I will definitely make you have no good fruit to eat!"
"No, no, no, really!" Cheng Ru patted the head of the little sand crab who sat down, and the sand crab ran quickly, and Cheng Ru turned his head to look at Jiang Lili again: "You come with me!"
Wu Zhou and the ghost mother also aroused their curiosity, so that the giant sand crab also followed Cheng Ruye's footsteps.
In front of me was a huge hill, cluttered with shrubs and rocks. After passing through the hill, I suddenly saw a row of towering walls in front of me. This wall is white throughout, such as
The jade is clear, but it is not a whole, but it looks like a patchwork of many huge white pillars, not only high and invisible, but also boundless in width.
Several people were immediately shocked.
Seeing the horrified look on the faces of several people, he smiled proudly: "Look, I really didn't lie to you!"
Jiang Lili was already dumbfounded, he pointed to the huge white wall and said, "What is this? This wall is as tall as a cloud, why didn't we see it?!"
Wu Zhou looked suspicious and sighed: "It's not an exaggeration to say that this wall is like the black soil mountain range on the Demon Continent!"
"What is the Black Earth Mountain Range?" Cheng Ru asked, turning his head.
Wu Zhou explained: "After going all the way east from Yunling Shengzhou to the Demon Continent, and then going all the way east to the eastern boundary of the Demon Continent, you can see a huge black mountain range in front of you, which has been growing from the southernmost point to the northernmost point, as if it is a huge black rock, connecting the upper nine heavens and the lower nine earths. It is like a huge gate, blocking everyone in the east, and no one is allowed to pass through this black earth mountain range and go further east! And from ancient times to the present, countless people have tried to climb over this mountain range, wanting to see what is on the east side of this mountain range, but no one can climb to this mountain range There is a Dapeng Demon Cultivator who has an extreme realm through the heavens, and this Dapeng bird is best at flying, and it is said that he can go back and forth from the Demon Continent to the Yellow Sky Pure Continent several times a day. And this Dapeng bird has one day started to think, and has been flying up along this black mountain range, wanting to climb to the top of this mountain range, and wanting to go through this mountain range to the east! But this extreme Dapeng bird demon has been cultivating for a hundred years, and it is rumored in the world that this Dapeng bird has already leaped over this black soil mountain range. But one day, a meteorite from outside the sky suddenly smashed on the edge of the black earth continent hundreds of miles away from the boundary, everyone wanted to seize the treasure, but they ran over to take a look, only to find that the meteorite was the body of the Dapeng bird a hundred years ago. At the end, several famous pharmacists came to examine his body, and finally came to the conclusion that the Dapeng bird was dead, and he was tired to death!"
Cheng Ru's eyes widened, this kind of thing was still too appalling for him.
At the end, Wu Zhou said: "Coincidentally, in Huangtian Jingzhou all the way to the west, through the endless Gobi, you can also see a huge mountain range appear in front of you, just like the black soil mountain range, but this mountain range is bright red as blood, and no one can fly over this red mountain range and see the scene in the west!"
Cheng Ru was shocked, and suddenly wondered: "This kind of thing should be very famous, but why haven't I heard of such a thing when I used to read strange things in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion?"
Wu Zhou shrugged his shoulders, "Who can say this? I also heard about it from my adult's mouth, and I haven't seen it myself." β
Cheng Ru's eyes are full of longing, but he must go to see the red soil mountain range and the black earth mountain range one day!
Focusing on the white wall in front of him, Wu Zhou thought for a while, turned his head to look at the ghost mother and said, "You didn't see this giant wall when you just rose to the sky?"
The ghost mother's face sank, "You can't trust me?"
Wu Zhou hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Where is it, I didn't hear what you said when you came down, so I asked." β
The ghost mother snorted coldly.
Jiang Lili looked at this huge wall, his heart moved, he took a few steps back and retreated down the hill, and saw that there was an endless wilderness in front of him. Walking up the hill again, the wall exploded into his sight like a shockwave.
Jiang Lili hesitated for a moment, then slowly stepped forward, and was about to walk in front of the wall to take a closer look, but Cheng Ru grabbed Jiang Lili, "Eh, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to see what the hell is on that wall! What's wrong?"
Cheng Ru looked in awe, "How can you be so casual? What if there is any danger there? Think about it, what if you walk to the foot of that wall and suddenly ten thousand swords fly, or the mud and sand under your feet roll and fall into the bottomless mud and sand, or if the wall falls?"
Jiang Lili sneered, "Then I still hope that this wall can fall down, and there will be people with me after I become a ghost at that time!"
Wu Zhou said with a smile: "Don't worry, if this wall is just an ordinary wall, it won't kill me and the ghost mother, and the two of us are already ghosts anyway, so we are not afraid! β
Jiang Lili ignored Wu Zhou's half-cold joke, jumped directly from the hill, and landed firmly on the ground. He walked slowly ahead of his time, and in a short time he reached the foot of the wall. After thinking about it, Jiang Lili reached out and touched the wall, and he only felt a burst of coolness, and there was nothing else abnormal.
Cheng Ru also wanted to go forward to see that Jiang Lili was not in danger, but he was still a little vigilant, "Is it really okay?"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the insect that drove the ghost baby to sit down and rushed towards the wall, and after a while, it landed at the foot of the wall, and a ghost baby took out a stone from the ground and smashed it on the white wall!
Wu Zhou and the ghost mother also walked down slowly, turned back to Cheng Ru and said, "If you want to stay here, you can do it, you are optimistic about this sand crab, don't let it run away!"
Cheng Ru turned his head, only to see the hideous barbs on the giant sand crab, and felt that this sand crab was extremely terrifying for the second time, thinking that it would be much safer at the foot of the wall than beside this sand crab, so he hurriedly rushed down.
Just at the foot of this white wall
Shi Jiang Lili was squinting his eyes and looking in at the gaps between the pillars, Cheng Ru was stunned, only to find that the wall composed of these pillars was not tight, and there were still many gaps in between. Thinking about it, he also leaned against the wall and looked out, but he only felt that it was pitch black in front of him, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
Cheng Ru raised his head and wondered: "How can it be dark from looking through this crack? Now it's still day on our side, and it's night there?" Cheng Ru is face was happy, "I'll just say that this place is disordered day and night, you just say I'm lazy, and I don't believe it!"
Jiang Lili didn't pay attention to Cheng Ruyi, and only said to Wu Zhou: "Can you see any mystery here?"
Wu Zhou shook his head, wanting to stop.
Jiang Lili frowned slightly, "Just say whatever you want to say." β
Wu Zhou said: "It may be appalling to say, but it is pitch black, I don't think it's because of the line of sight." β
Cheng Ru disagreed, "Could it be that there are two worlds inside and outside the wall?"
Wu Zhou's eyes looked at him, "Maybe it's really this reason!"
Jiang Lili thought to himself for a long time, "You are a ghost body, do you see if you can pass through this place?"
Wu Zhou nodded, but he only touched his hand on this wall and smiled bitterly, "I was wrong just now, if this wall really falls down, I may die!"
If that's the case, it's really difficult, Jiang Lili looked worried, now they already believe that they have indeed entered a phantom array, and maybe behind the wall is that reality. You can glance at the wall from top to bottom, and then glance at it from left to right, and you can't see the top of it, and you can't see the edge of it left and right.
Everyone looked ugly, and Cheng Ru hesitated and suddenly said, "Otherwise, if we dig in this ground, maybe we can dig a hole at the foot of this wall and climb out?"
As soon as the words came out, I just felt that my proposal was too stupid, and if I really wanted to dig it, I might not be able to dig it up for several years!
There are a lot of people who can do things.
After hearing Cheng Ru's words, another ghost baby squatted at the foot of the wall and quickly shaved sand, and the other ghost babies looked at it and thought it was funny, so they also followed the planing.
The ghost mother was about to stop it, Wu Zhou smiled: "It's okay, the little guy is full of energy, just let them mess around, can it be that this wall can really fall down??"
Seeing Jiang Lili's face, she didn't care, so the ghost mother didn't say more.
In the middle of this, the movements of these ghost babies became bigger and bigger, and countless sand and dust were raised. Cheng Ru was choked by the dust and coughed, annoyed, and was about to scold when he suddenly heard someone scolding: "Is it the one who dares to disturb the Qing Xiu of this seat?"
Cheng Ru was stunned and turned his head to look at Jiang Lili and the others.
Wu Zhou stretched out his hand, "I didn't say anything." β
The ghost mother shook her head.
Jiang Lili's face became solemn, could it be that there are others here?
Pressing his hand on the hilt of the knife, Jiang Lili looked around vigilantly.
"Here's this! Here's this! What's the matter with you little dolls? Planing, rats!"
Following the sound, I saw a brightly haired squirrel jumping out of the grass and trees, and the man stood upright, looking at the ghost babies with great annoyance.
Cheng Ru's eyes widened, "Are you talking?"
"What's the matter? It's Grandpa talking!" the squirrel was full of confidence.
Hey, it's a strange thing, the squirrel can talk! Cheng Ru was very interested, and just as he was about to ask, he saw the ghost babies running towards the squirrel in unison!
The squirrel clasped his hands to his chest and snorted coldly, "What do you dolls want to do?" and dare to disturb my Qing Xiu, come on, come on, I want you to see it todayγγγγγ β
Before the words were finished, the squirrel saw that this ghost baby was not an ordinary child at all, where did an ordinary child have a sharp mouth, where did he have a pair of red eyes, and where did he have four claws?
Looking up again, except for Cheng Ru and Jiang Lili, the two people in the yang world, the two behind are all ghosts, not to mention a huge sand crab standing on the hill at the back, and there are a lot of black-skinned scorpions, green spiders and other poisons around!
The squirrel suddenly became empty, looking at the ghost babies who came forward with a hideous smile, he took two steps back, and he didn't know where he took out a small sword with a finger length and held it in his hand, "You don't want to come here, this seat kills people without blinking! β
Saying that, the squirrel put the little sword across his neck, and resolutely roared: "Come here again, this seat will die in front of you!"
Where would the ghost baby pay attention to such a "threat"? and pounced directly on the squirrel.
The squirrel hurriedly dropped the small sword in his hand, hugged his head and ran away, while shouting loudly: "Kill someone! Su Xiaojiu! Come on! Someone is going to kill me!"
Jiang Lili's eyes narrowed slightly, "There are still people?"
"I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming!"
I heard a shout from a distance, and then a confused young man with a sword box on his back stumbled over, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!!"
Jiang Lili was slightly stunned, and suddenly grinned.
Su Xiaojiu: When did you get this name? Hehe.
