"In my opinion, the dense fog in the mountains and forests around this town should have been laid down in a large formation. Looking at the scene in front of her, Lin Yurou whispered.

"Formation?" Li Ge replied softly, looking at the fog-shrouded mountains around the town, his face full of shock. If it is really as Lin Yurou said, the dense fog in the mountains is caused by the formation, then this formation is too huge.

"Second brother, sister Yurou, it's about to get dark, should we go down the mountain to that abandoned town?" Jingchen heard the conversation between the two on the side, touched the back of his hairless head and asked.

Hearing the little monk's words, Li Ge moved his gaze to Lin Yurou. At the same time, the latter also looked at the former, and the two looked at each other for a moment, before Li Ge opened his mouth and replied, "If it is really as you said, the dense fog in this mountain is caused by the formation, I think we will settle down in this mountain forest tonight, and we will go down the mountain tomorrow morning." ”

"Okay~" Lin Yurou nodded, and then led Jingchen and Li Ge into the mountain forest together. After a while, the three of them found a relatively flat ground in the dense fog-covered mountain forest.

Li Ge found some dead branches in the forest, lit a fire, and then took out a piece of cloth from the baggage and spread it on the ground, took out the dry food he had brought, and the three of them sat down on the ground and ate it.

After dinner, Lin Yurou took out six small turtle-shaped stones from her baggage and laid a small protective array around her. After that, the three of them sat by the fire and talked, and after a short time, Jingchen yawned twice, and lay down to sleep on the spot with his burden on his pillow. The other two sat by the fire, staring at the burning flames.

When the little monk let out a slight snoring sound in his mouth, Li Ge, who was silent, glanced back at Jingchen and whispered, "You just said that the dense fog on this mountain was generated by the formation, then the abandoned town under this mountain is probably not so simple. ”

"Hmm~ The dense fog in the mountains on three sides of Haikou Town is too weird, it doesn't seem to be naturally generated, I think it should be a formation, and its effect is to trap the people who enter the formation from going out. ”

"You mean that it's easy for us to come in, and if we want to get out, we can ......" Hearing Lin Yurou's words, Li Ge asked in response.

"Yes~ it should be like this. Lin Yurou nodded, and said with a solemn face, "When tomorrow dawns, I will explore this forest, and it will be clear." ”

"Okay~" Li Ge got up and threw some dead branches into the fire, clapped his hands gently, glanced at the woman sitting by the fire, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Yurou, I want to go down the mountain to the town now, you and Jingchen will stay here tonight and wait for me." ”

"If you go alone, I'm afraid I'll ......" Lin Yurou stood up and took a step towards Li Ge with a worried face, and was about to continue, when he suddenly saw a smile on the young man's face and nodded to himself. In the end, he could only smile helplessly, turned around and took out a small bottle from the burden placed aside, and handed it to Li Ge, "There are a few pills in here to restore spiritual power, maybe it will be useful for you." ”

Without thanking him, Li Ge took the vial and put it into the Qiankun bag on his side, and said with relief, "Don't worry, I'll just go down the mountain to take a look, and nothing will happen." ”

"I'm sure you'll be fine. Lin Yurou replied in a firm tone, looking at the back of the young man walking down the mountain, and the steps under his feet unconsciously chased two steps forward.

At the same time, Li Ge also suddenly turned around and glanced back, and by the faint light of the fire, he saw a trace of worry and reluctance on the woman's face. There was a sudden throbbing in his heart, and the smile on his face that had been put away was revealed, and he shouted softly to the woman, "Rest early, don't worry about me, I'll go down the mountain and come back." After saying this, the young man paused, and then continued, "If I don't come back tomorrow morning, you will take Jingchen back to find the Jiang Pavilion Master." ”

After some explanation, the thin figure of the young man went directly into the mountains and forests and disappeared into the dark night.

"You'll be back. The woman muttered to herself, and after a long silence in the direction in which the young man had disappeared, she withdrew her gaze and turned back to the fire.

The moon on the third day of the Lunar New Year is like a thin brow, and the faint light shines on the town of Kaidokou, which is surrounded by thick fog and the sea. After walking for nearly half an hour on the rugged and difficult way down the mountain, Li Ge finally came to the foot of the mountain.

Standing at the foot of the hill, he saw an overgrown street lined with crumbling beams and broken bricks and tiles, and weeds on the sides of the two abandoned houses closest to him. Looking at the abandoned town, Li Ge walked directly to the abandoned town.

One-step, two-step, three-step...... Seven steps, when he moved his steps and took seven steps forward, his body stopped suddenly, his face widened, and his expression showed an unusual shock.

Like a scarecrow, Li Ge stood for a moment at the back of seven steps, and the look of surprise on his face eased slightly, and he took a deep breath and raised his foot this time, this time not forward, but backward.

After taking a step back, his body froze again, and the expression on his face changed from shock to confusion.

Frozen in place for a few more moments, Lige took a step forward, then a step back. After repeating this dozens of times, he stood seven paces away and said to himself, "What kind of place is this?

After muttering to himself, Li Ge moved forward, looking at the town of Haidaokou as he walked.

Before he was only seven paces away, Haidaokou Town was a ruined, ruined abandoned town. But when he took seven steps, the town of Haidaokou in his eyes was another world.

The town is still the same town, and the houses are still standing in their original positions, but after seven steps, the town of Haidaokou is no longer an abandoned town in ruins, but an intact town. The houses in the town are exceptionally intact, the streets are wide and clean, and there are still some weeds there.

Standing in front of the first house on the edge of the town, Li Ge glanced at the closed door of the house, stepped forward and pushed it, then walked to the closed window next to the house and looked at it, and returned to the main road in the town with his hands down, and looked up at the night sky, where the crescent moon like a willow eyebrow still hung quietly in the sky.

"It doesn't seem like this is a realm, so I'd better take a look at this town first. Muttering to himself, Li Ge walked directly to the town.

The straight streets in the town are very long, and there are more than a hundred houses on both sides of the street. There are five side streets in the town, four short and one long, and the long side street stands in the middle of the straight street. At the west end of the street is a mountain, at the foot of the mountain there is a boulder, and at the east end is connected to the sea.

Walking around the silent town alone, Li Ge did not notice the slightest abnormality. Eventually, he returned six paces away from the descent, turned his head to look back at the ruined town, and walked up the hill with his hands in his hands.
