Chapter 121: Fragments (5)
The black wind howled and gray smoke filled the air.
In this vast time and space, Jiang Yuan kept moving forward, and he didn't know how long he had walked, but there was nothing else but gray smoke.
The distribution of those formations seems to be nowhere to be found, Jiang Yuan entered here last night, and encountered many formations, but tonight he has been walking for so long but has found nothing.
Jiang Yuan didn't intend to stay, he would never stay where he was for a long time until he found a new formation.
Although there are many demons to hunt here, there are still unspeakable dangers.
Beneath our feet is the eternally flat and thick earth, and when you look to the east, there is a thick smoke, to the west, to the north, it is a thick smoke, to the south, it is a thick smoke, and when you look up, it is also a thick smoke.
There was no sound in my ears except the howling of the black wind, and even the loud noises that had come from time to time had disappeared.
The most important thing is that he hates the feeling, it is a feeling of loneliness.
A person walks forward in such a place, for a long time, as if only he is left in heaven and earth, standing alone.
He has been gone for two hours, or three hours, or even longer? Jiang Yuan has already begun to have no concept of time.
It's like being in the middle of an endless sea, an eternal snowy land, or a vast desert.
The surrounding scenery is always monotonous and boring, especially when no one is around.
He began to want someone to talk to, or to be able to see something else.
The eyes were almost useless, and they looked the same everywhere they played, if it weren't for the connection with the severed finger, Jiang Yuan wouldn't know if he was walking in a certain direction or standing still.
Just when Jiang Yuan was bored with loneliness and depression, something unusual finally appeared in the smoke ahead.
It was two red halos of light, which seemed to slowly wriggle with the flowing smoke.
From a distance, it looks like a pair of huge eyes.
Jiang Yuan hesitated, in countless gods and monster novels, there were always demons who lured ignorant passers-by with glowing eyes, and in the end, there were no bones.
However, in the end, Jiang Yuan still moved in the direction of the red light, no matter what it was, he had to find someone to talk to, otherwise he was afraid that he would really be depressed and crazy.
As he walked forward, the smoke in front of him seemed to disperse, and an abrupt building came out of the fog and appeared in front of Jiang Yuan's eyes.
At first, Jiang Yuan thought it was a pavilion, but later he saw that it was a three-sided stage.
The delicate stage is set up on the four corner pillars for the big bucket, and the big bucket is applied with four horizontal large foreheads to form a huge square frame, and there is a group of actors in costumes singing in the performance area below the frame.
And those two red lights were not the eyes of demons, but the two bright red lanterns hanging on the stage.
Jiang Yuan came to the stage and watched the drama on the stage.
Strangely, however, the performances on the stage were extremely hard, and their mouths seemed to be singing, but no sound came out.
"Am I deaf?"
Jiang Yuan muttered to himself, and he even clapped his hands.
Eventually, he decided that the drama on the stage was like a silent movie, playing but forgetting to turn on the sound.
Jiang Yuan watched the drama quietly, and the drama seemed to be at its climax.
The whole play is brightly colored, but the content is extremely terrifying and depressing, as if a bloody ukiyo-e of hell was staged.
There are descriptions of demons seducing the living, cannibalism in famines, women being tied to stakes and being tortured to death, and demons being burned in the sun by the living.
These scenes are all demons and ghosts, so playing the role of demons and ghosts is completely their true colors, which is very vivid, and completely shows the hideous and twisted horror demons and ghosts.
On the contrary, when they play the role of living people, it is very weird. Even if the face is covered with white powder and heavy makeup, it still makes the living people in the performance look gloomy and weird.
In this empty space, an exquisite and ornate stage stands alone, but there is only one audience.
But all the actors are very engaged, and they perform selflessly, as if they are fully engaged in the drama.
Jiang Yuan watched quietly for a while, the content of the performance was too cruel and depressing, which made him dislike.
But now that I've seen it, I have to at least say something.
Jiang Yuan touched his body, took out some broken silver for emergency use, and then threw the broken silver onto the stage.
As the silver fell on the stage, the actors froze suddenly, and then turned to Jiang Yuan and bowed, as if thanking Jiang Yuan for his reward.
After thanking them, the actors continued to perform.
Jiang Yuan smiled at them, these weak demons really couldn't arouse his interest.
The amount of ghost qi he needed to impact the form of the shadow was too large now, and a few wisps of ghost qi that were too weak were tantamount to a drop in the bucket.
However, if he could meet a few more powerful demons like giant armorers, this would make Jiang Yuan feel excited.
After the reward, Jiang Yuan was about to leave, but his nose suddenly twitched, and he smelled something unusual.
"Angelica grass, is it ......?"
Angelica grass is a specialty of Lingcheng, and Jiang Yuan once bought a few sachets made of Angelica grass to give to the three righteous daughters.
Jiang Yuan immediately stopped and waited, and after a while, a woman in a black robe slowly walked out of the smoke, and also came to stand in front of the stage, watching the drama side by side with Jiang Yuan.
The person who came was Princess Youyue, the hood on her head was not brought up, and her face like the bright moon was cold and beautiful, but it looked a little pale. Her long silver hair was loose and down, soft and beautiful.
Jiang Yuan stared at Princess Youyue and narrowed his eyes slightly, he didn't expect to meet her here.
He had wanted to use the dryad to lure her out, but now he had bumped into her. Princess Youyue has a strong ghostly aura, and it is best to absorb her.
Princess Youyue stared at the performance on the stage with a pair of beautiful eyes, but said coldly:
"You look familiar, have we met?"
Jiang Yuan was slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized.
When I first met her in the valley behind San'in Village, I had already entered the form of fire. And when the appearance of ordinary people was in contrast to her, she was still in the stall selling blue angelica grass in Lingcheng.
In this way, Princess Yuyue didn't know that she was in the valley, like that......
Just listen to Princess Dark Moon continue:
"I don't have the breath of a family family, but I dare to stand here...... A living person shouldn't be here, and if they have broken in by mistake, I advise you to leave quickly. ”
Jiang Yuan's eyes flashed, he didn't bring the wooden card with the breath of the Jing clan with him this time, and he didn't know how Princess Youyue judged that she didn't have the breath of the Gong family.
And what she meant in her words was, had there ever been ordinary people who had strayed into this place?
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Yuan suddenly showed a look of fear:
"May I ask this girl, what is this place, and how can I get out of here?" Tonight I saw five men lined up, with gold in their hands, and I went up to grab it in a moment's desire, but in the midst of the struggle, they were led into a door, and I came to this place inexplicably. I've lost my way by scurrying around here, and I'm going to ask the girl to save me!"
If you can use Princess Youyue to leave here, and have her ghost qi to absorb, it will kill two birds with one stone.
Princess Youyue turned her head and looked at Jiang Yuan coldly with a pair of phoenix eyes:
"I can help you get out of here, and I can get it for you if you want gold, but you have to help me with one thing when you get out. ”
Jiang Yuan nodded hurriedly:
"Don't say one, even ten and a hundred pieces, I'm willing to do it!"
Princess Dark Moon continued:
"I have a sister who was abducted. I don't know who her abductors were, or where she was abducted. Her name is Lin Yulin, and she looks ...... Something different, I need you to help me find her!"
As she spoke, she saw Princess Youyue stretching out her white palm and slowly stirring in front of her, and a lot of gray smoke around her was pulled by her churning palm one by one.
The smoke slowly changed and condensed, and finally formed a human form. It was a beautiful girl, but her hands and feet were tangled roots, and it was the dryad Lin Yulin.
"This is my sister," said Princess Darkmoon, "and you remember what she looks like." ”
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan took a step back, pointed to the human form transformed into smoke and exclaimed:
"Is this still human?"
Princess Youyue waved her jade palm, and the human form collapsed, and she said coldly:
"Don't care, if you want to get out of here alive, you can only agree to my conditions. ”
Jiang Yuan thought for a while and said:
"If you give me enough gold, and I will immediately ask someone to paint a hundred and a thousand of these portraits, and post a large reward everywhere, I will surely find your sister. ”
"Gold? are dying, and they are still thinking about money. Princess Youyue snorted coldly, looking at Jiang Yuan's eyes full of disdain, "I can promise you." But you better not lie to me, or I'll give you a taste of fear you've never tried before. I'll keep this mark for you first, so that I can find you. ”
After finishing speaking, Princess Youyue stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Yuan's wrist, and when she let go, a black handprint appeared on it.
Jiang Yuan stared at the handprint in his hand and frowned:
"Ghost Handprint......
After a long time, I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing again.
He sensed it carefully, and suddenly felt a faint trace of ghost qi entrenched under his skin. This ghost energy seems to be controlled by a special method, and does not continue to move around the human body, but is fixed in a specific position.
"Is this how the ghost mudra works?"
Jiang Yuan controlled the shadow in his body not to absorb this trace of ghost qi, so as not to expose the horse's feet.
Princess Yueyue said at this time:
"Now you come with me, and I will open the door to ghosts for you. ”
At this time, in the dense fog in the distance, unusual movements began to appear.
I saw four people in white carrying a small sedan chair that was also gray and white, suddenly emerging from the smoke and approaching the stage quickly.
And the strange thing is that those people in white walk without touching the ground, as if they are floating in mid-air. When their feet were volleying in the air, their speed was unusually fast, and in just a few breaths, they had already arrived in front of Princess Youyue and Jiang Yuan.
