The three of them went deeper and deeper along the flat land in front of the stream. Gradually, the three of them found that the land under their feet seemed to be tightened by the sharp cliffs on both sides in the distance, and finally, the flat land in front of the stream turned into a slender mountain road under the impact of the cliffs on both sides, winding forward with no end in sight.

Because the narrowest part of this mountain road, which was sandwiched by the cliffs on both sides, could only accommodate one person to pass, and the widest part was only one meter wide, so Yu Fei'er and the three of them had to line up on this slender mountain road, Yu Fei'er walked in the front, Wen Yiyang walked in the middle, and the white-bearded old road dragged behind, carefully groping forward.

In this way, the three of them walked for a long time on this slender mountain road, but there was no exit at all. At this time, Wen Yiyang, who was walking in the middle of the team, couldn't help it: "That centipede shrewdly said that we can see the exit of this valley floor as long as we walk a short distance towards this land, but why haven't we seen the exit of this valley floor after walking for so long? Could it be that the centipede essence is trying to deceive us?"

"How can the goblin's words be taken seriously?" Yu Fei'er turned around and made her own suggestion, "I think the three of us might as well find a place here to rest for a while and eat something before we go?" After such a long journey, now I not only feel a little tired, but also feel very hungry in my stomach. ”

The white-bearded old man immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, the three of us haven't eaten since we entered this Xianxia Ridge in the morning." What's more, when we were entangled with the centipede spirit in the stream before, we were dizzy and vomited all the food in our stomachs on the rock. Now that the three of us had been on the road for such a long time, our stomachs were already growling with hunger, and Lao Dao also felt that we should find a place to eat here and then continue on our way. ”

Wen Yiyang also nodded in agreement, so the three of them found a more spacious place to sit down on the side of the mountain road. Then the white-bearded old man took out a few pieces of dry food from the blanket on his shoulder and distributed them to Wen Yiyang and Yu Fei'er. The three of them devoured it and soon ate all the dry food in their hands.

After the three of them filled their stomachs, they sat down and rested for a while. When he saw Yu Fei'er and Wen Yiyang standing up and preparing to continue their journey, the white-bearded old man immediately stood up, quickly patted the dry food fragments that had been left on his body when he divided the dry food before, and then quickly followed Yu Fei'er and Wen Yiyang's footsteps and continued to walk along the mountain road under his feet.

The three of them walked along the mountain road for a long time, but they still found that the mountain road showed signs of an end, let alone the exit from the valley bottom. At this time, Yiyang couldn't help it again, and asked Yu Fei'er in front of him: "Brother Dao, how long are we going to go like this? I don't know if there is such a feeling in my brother's heart? The three of us seem to have been circling in the same place in a big circle after entering this mountain road, and we haven't moved forward at all." ”

"It turns out that Brother Dao also has this feeling in his heart, and Yu Fei'er thought that only I felt like this. It's really strange to say, although I already have such a feeling in my heart, through the continuous observation of the surrounding scenes, I have found that there are any repetitions along the way, so in my heart, I have never been sure if the three of us have really been going around in circles?" Hearing that Wen Yiyang also had the same doubts in his heart, Yu Fei'er quickly stopped his steps, raised his head and carefully looked at the surrounding environment.

"Huh, that's really strange?" At this time, I heard this sentence suddenly come out of the mouth of the white-bearded old man.

"What's strange, sir, what do you see?" asked Yu Fei'er quickly.

"Little Taoist priest of Putuo Mountain, look. Whitebeard said as he pointed to a spot close to him.

Yu Fei'er immediately looked in the direction of Whitebeard's old finger. When Yu Fei'er saw clearly what appeared on the ground, he suddenly understood everything in his heart, and blurted out: "Sure enough, just as Wen Yiyang and I feel, the three of us have been going around in circles on this mountain road. ”

What was there on the ground? would make Yu Fei'er instantly decide that she was really going in circles?

It turned out that what appeared on the ground of the white-bearded old man's fingers were the grains of dry food that he had slapped off his clothes before.

After making sure that she was indeed going in circles, Yu Fei'er began to carefully recall in her mind the whole process of her journey from the land in front of the stream to the mountain road. After some reflection, Yu Fei'er quickly had such a doubt in her heart: "This is also too strange, since we are really going around this mountain road, then why didn't we see the land in front of the stream during the circle? What's even more strange is that even though I keep going around this mountain road, the scene around me has never been repeated, what is going on?"

"There is only one possibility, and that is that the environment around us is constantly changing under the control of some force. In fact, after I entered this mountain road, I had this feeling in my heart that the three of us seemed to be under the watchful eye of something all the time. After saying this, Wen Yiyang glanced around cautiously.

"Judging from the scenes on both sides of this mountain road, it is very likely that they are constantly changing under the control of some kind of force, as Brother Dao said. It stands to reason that these changes will send a faint signal in the ground under our feet, but why didn't I notice such changes on the ground before?" Yu Fei'er said as she concentrated all the five elements qi in her body into the palm of her left hand, and then quickly bent down her body and pressed her left palm tightly against the ground under her feet, holding her breath and carefully feeling the situation under the ground.

As Yu Fei'er continuously released the Five Elements Qi gathered in the palm of his left hand into the ground under his feet, the expression on his face began to become more and more serious. Suddenly, Yu Fei'er gasped and exclaimed, "How can this be? I don't even feel the presence of dirt under our feet, are the three of us standing in mid-air now?"

"Standing in mid-air? how is this possible? If that's the case, why haven't we fallen?" said the whitebeard old man, shaking his head to show that he didn't believe it.

Wen Yiyang also felt that Yu Fei'er's words were not credible: "Even if the three of us are really in mid-air as Brother Dao thinks, could it be that everything around us is also in mid-air?

Seeing that the white-bearded old man and Wen Yiyang didn't want to believe what they said, Yu Fei'er was a little anxious: "Old man, Wen Yiyang, you must believe what Yu Fei'er said, the mountain road we see now, and the scene on both sides of the mountain road, actually don't exist." ”

"Brother Dao said that they don't exist?, then you mean that all this we see is just a trick? Brother Dao, why don't you also stretch out your hand and touch this stone to see? Not only can it be touched with your hands, but it is no different from a real stone, how can it be a trick?" Wen Yiyang said as he stretched out his hand and touched the cliff wall beside him.

Yu Fei'er immediately followed Wen Yiyang's words and explained: "The ordinary trick of blinding is indeed using the air to create an illusion, and then confuse the other party. However, the road surface and the surrounding cliffs and rocks are very realistic, even if you touch it with your hands, the feeling will be exactly the same as the real thing, which shows that in this blinding method, it is not entirely the use of air to conjure up these scenes around us, and some of them must also use some more advanced means. That's why we walked on this mountain road before, or sat on the rocks on the side of the mountain road and ate without noticing anything unusual about them. From this, it can be concluded that this trick should be a more advanced trick. ”

As soon as Yu Fei'er's explanation fell, she heard a voice suddenly come from the secluded valley: "That's right, so quickly let you, the little Taoist, perceive the difference in this world created by this immortal, no wonder the three of you can successfully pass through the territory guarded by the three brothers in front of me and come to me." Little Taoist, I know that your art of resisting the earth is very powerful, but when you come to me, your skills will be useless, and soon all three of you will become my food. ”

As the words in the valley fell, a grim laugh rang out in the ears of the three of them. This laughter sounded extremely distant, and it seemed to be close to the ears, and the white-bearded old man trembled all over, and cried out in a lost voice: "Oh no, we just escaped from the trap of the centipede spirit, and now we have fallen into the new trap of the monster, I wonder what kind of new danger we will face next in this trap?"

After the previous few battles, Yu Fei'er and Wen Yiyang have matured a lot, so the two of them are not panicked after learning that they have fallen into the trap of the monster again. I saw Yu Fei'er comforting the white-bearded old man: "Don't panic, old man, this monster has set such a delicate trap here, but he has always been hiding in the dark and has not shown up, which shows that he is still afraid of us in his heart." All we have to do now is how to break this obstacle in front of us, and then find this monster and get rid of him. ”

Wen Yiyang followed Yu Fei'er's words and said, "I said, old Taoist, what are you afraid of? Aren't the three of us here here to get rid of these monsters? Since we have met here, then we can just get rid of him." Now, let Xiaodao put a fire on it and burn all these illusions around it. After speaking, Wen Yiyang was about to take out a blank talisman paper from the Qiankun bag and cast his fire spell.

But before Wen Yiyang could draw his spell on the blank rune paper, Yu Fei'er beside him had already grabbed his hand that was about to cast a spell and stopped: "Brother Dao, slow down! If Brother Dao casts a fire spell now and burns all these illusions in front of us, won't the ground under our feet also be burned by the fire? Now we don't know the situation under our feet, in case our position in mid-air is far away from the real ground, it won't be fun after falling, so it won't work here with a fire spell." ”

"As the saying goes, 'real gold is not afraid of fire', any demons, monsters, and false illusions will be revealed in front of my Taoist Samadhi True Fire. Now that Brother Dao doesn't let Wen Yiyang use the fire spell, then I really don't know how to break this obstacle in front of me. Seeing that Yu Fei'er didn't let him use the fire curse, Wen Yiyang immediately looked like a deflated ball.

"Brother Dao, don't be discouraged, although we can't use fire, we have other ways, isn't there still such a saying: 'Fake can't be true, real can't be fake'. If we can replace those fake things with real things, then won't the fake things cease to exist?" Yu Fei'er hurriedly comforted Wen Yiyang.

After listening to the "true" and "false" in Yu Fei'er's words, Wen Yiyang was confused, and he didn't understand the meaning of Yu Fei'er's words, so he had to stare at Yu Fei'er with a puzzled face, hoping that Yu Fei'er could give him a further explanation.

But that Yu Fei'er didn't explain much to Wen Yiyang, but just patted his chest and said to Wen Yiyang: "Brother Dao, don't worry, you can definitely break this obstacle in front of you with this method of mine." But then again, I still have to use Brother Dao's fire spell in this method. ”

Hearing Yu Fei'er say that he needed his own fire spell, Wen Yiyang was even more confused in his heart. This Yu Fei'er won't let himself use the fire spell for a while, and then he will use the fire spell himself, what will be the method he is talking about?
