Volume 1 Darkness Rising Chapter 9 Lost in Illusion
Zhou Chang and the fat man heard Angelina say that they were trapped in the illusion of the demon clan, and they couldn't help but look at her with puzzled faces, as if they were waiting for her further explanation.
"The most skillful trick used by the demon clan is illusion, I once heard my mentor say that the most powerful use of illusion is a demon of the demon clan named Bashar Singu. He can also turn other people's malice into kindness, and can influence people's will, which is very terrifying. ”
Angelina paused for a moment, her face became very solemn, "If it was his illusion, with our ability, it would be impossible to get out." ”
The fat man was anxious, "How do you know it's him, it may be another low-level demon." For example, the carrot demon with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. ”
Angelina smiled bitterly and analyzed: "Although it is just speculation, there is a ninety percent chance that he is him." If you think about it, why the soldiers suddenly killed each other yesterday, the most likely situation is that someone has used a secret technique to control their minds. can influence so many people at the same time, except for Bashar Singu, only the Ten Thousand Demon King can do it. And as the King of Ten Thousand Demons, it is impossible to deal with us insignificant people. ”
After listening to Angelina's analysis, the fat man sat on the ground, his face was pale, and he muttered, "I knew that this was the result, and I ran a fart, and I was tired to death." ”
Zhou Chang helped Taizhang to the bottom of the boulder, sat him on the side of the boulder, and supported his upper body against the boulder.
At this time, the fat man suddenly thought of something, got up, walked to Taizhang's side, dug in his pocket for a while, and found a few pieces of rune paper.
Seeing this, Zhou Chang hurriedly asked the fat man, "What are you doing with Young Master Taizhang's talisman paper?"
"Wait until you encounter a monster to block the evil spirit. ”
The fat man said as he walked over to Angelina, "Miss Angelina, do you know how to draw charms, help me draw a few." ”
Angelina nodded and shook her head again, "Although I can draw several spells, I have not practiced the rune seal, and a spell that is not stamped with the rune seal has no mana. ”
The fat man squinted at Taizhang, "You don't, that kid does." With that, he was about to walk over and search Taizhang's body again.
Angelina hurriedly stopped the fat man, shook her head and said, "The talisman seal is made of the essence of the human body, and when it is not in use, it will sleep in the master's body in a void situation, and no one can find it except for his master who can summon it." ”
The fat man didn't believe Angelina's words very much, he walked to Taizhang's side again, rummaged through Taizhang's body several times, and finally sat down on the ground dejectedly, looking at his expression, he knew that he didn't find the talisman seal.
Angelina tried to crack the illusion several more times, but in vain.
Time passed minute by minute, the three of them had experienced too many thrills in the past two days, and their mental and physical strength had reached the limit, and they couldn't get out for a while anyway, so they all sat silently on the ground, closed their eyes and rested.
Towards evening, Angelina asked Snow Eagle to catch two hares.
This time, the fat man came to his senses and patted his belly, which had already protested to him, "Damn, you have to be a full ghost when you die." ”
The fat man lit a fire, roasted the two rabbits, and gave half of them to Zhou Chang and Angelina, and he ate the whole one himself.
Maybe the fat man's barbecue skills are too exquisite, Taizhang, who has been fainting for a long time, twitched his nose a few times, as if he smelled the fragrance and woke up.
Taizhang opened his eyes, saw Zhou Chang and the fat man, and said weakly, "You two are really ghostly." ”
The fat man was forced to helplessly support Taizhang and walked so far, he was already very depressed, and now when he heard Taizhang still sarcastically mocking him and Zhou Chang, he couldn't help but blushed his neck angrily, "Do you have a conscience in this kid, if it weren't for us, you would have been eaten by the mountain wolf." ”
Taizhang didn't look at the fat man, his eyes were fixed on Angelina, "I'm going to die sooner or later, why do you need to save me." ”
Although Angelina understood what Taizhang meant, he still pretended not to know, tore off the rabbit leg of half of the hare in his hand, and handed it to Taizhang.
Taizhang was not polite, took the rabbit leg handed over by Angelina, and ate it in a big gulp.
After everyone finished eating the rabbit meat, they fell silent again.
In the silence of the crowd, the sun finally set and the moon hung in the sky.
The fat man, who usually loves to be lively, couldn't stand the deathly silence anymore, and suddenly said, "Do you think this demon will see that we have few people, not enough for them to eat, so let us go?"
Taizhang sneered, "Hmph, your imagination is quite rich. ”
The fat man just said it casually, leading everyone to talk about it, relieving the tense and dull atmosphere, but he didn't expect to attract Taizhang's cynicism, and he was so angry that his scalp exploded, and he scolded: "Hmph, do you have any other skills besides hurting people with your mouth?"
Taizhang glanced at the fat man, as if he was not in the mood to quarrel with him, raised his head and stared at the bright moonlight, with a blank face.
When the fat man saw Taizhang like this, he also lost interest in speaking, leaned on the boulder, and snored in a drowsy state.
The others also fell asleep separately, only Zhou Chang thought about Grandma Han, couldn't sleep, stroked the iron sword in his hand, muttered something in his mouth, and looked pious, as if he hoped that this iron sword could manifest and take him out of here. I don't know how long I thought about it, but I felt very tired, so I leaned against a big tree and fell asleep.
When Zhou Chang woke up, it was already bright, and the sun pierced him so much that he couldn't open his eyes.
He blocked the sunlight with his hand, and after a long time he got used to the light, and then removed his hand.
He looked around, and was speechless with shock, and his eyes were about to fall. In front of him was a bottomless cliff, on his right was a thorny wood, on his left was a path, and behind him was the storage room with the red domed red wall of the Karo demon.
"This, why is this coming back again?" Zhou Chang hurriedly woke up the other three people who were sleeping.
The fat man stretched his waist, glanced around, and suddenly lost his sleepiness in fright, "This, what's going on?"
The fat man didn't seem to believe what he saw, rubbed his eyes, and after confirming that he was not mistaken, he slapped himself again, his voice was crisp, and there was a numb pain.
"No dreams, who the fuck is so boring, carrying us back again. The fat man scolded with his reddened face that had been hit too hard.
Taizhang on the side saw the fat man's actions, sneered, stood up, and suddenly shouted: "True and false, false and true, true and false, true and false, false and non-false." ”
While chanting the incantation, he took out a piece of talisman paper from his pocket with his left hand, and drew it with the middle and index fingers of his right hand half a meter away.
When Taizhang drew the last stroke, his hands were put together, flipped left and right, and he shouted, "The way to view the sky, the journey to the sky." ”
After reading it, Taizhang separated his closed hands, and suddenly there was a dark red seal in his hand.
Zhou Chang and the fat man have both seen the dark red seal, this should be the talisman seal that Angelina said, and Jingyuan practiced.
I saw Taizhang cover the imaginary rune paper, and then threw the rune paper in the air.
The rune paper slowly shrank in mid-air, and finally disappeared.
At the moment when the rune paper disappeared, a strong light suddenly flashed in the sky, and the strong light was so dazzling that everyone couldn't open their eyes.
The bright light disappeared in just an instant, and when everyone opened their eyes, they found that they were on the side of the big rock where Taizhang had fainted.
Zhou Chang and the fat man were stunned, Zhou Chang patted his face and said, "This, what's going on?"
Taizhang said lightly: "This is the unique dream illusion of the demon clan, which makes people endlessly return to the starting point, and finally die in despair. ”
"The strange thing is that these demons are far above us in terms of intelligence and spells, why didn't they just kill us?" Angelina added.
It's all really weird!
"Maybe they were afraid of the iron sword in Zhou Chang's hand that would glow red. The fat man said suddenly.
"An iron sword that glows?" Taizhang looked at the iron sword in Zhou Chang's hand in disbelief.
Zhou Chang proudly recounted the experience of repelling Egde yesterday, Taizhang was interested, walked to Zhou Chang's side, and carefully looked at the iron sword in his hand. I saw that the body of the iron sword was still rusty, and there was no famous sword style.
After Taizhang looked at the iron sword in Zhou Chang's hand for a while, he suddenly said coldly: "If I were you, I would throw this sword away." ”
"Why?" Zhou Chang was a little confused.
Taizhang glanced at Zhou Chang, "Do you know that this sword of yours is a sealed sword?"
Zhou Chang had already listened to Angelina's analysis and nodded, "I know." ”
Taizhang continued, "The sealed swords are all evil swords, and they will turn against their masters at any time. Judging from the traces of your sword seal, it should not only be sealed by the talisman master's spell, but it should also be forbidden by the ancient language master. ”
Ah——! hearing this, Angelina exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly walked over. Sure enough, she also faintly found the pattern of the ancient linguist's secret text prohibition on the sword.
Taizhang paused and said, "There will be no more than ten swords on the continent that have been set up by powerful talisman masters and ancient language masters at the same time. And there have been cases of backing against the master, ranging from insane to deranged, and at worst to be destroyed. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Chang's head was all in chaos, and he thought of a terrible thing, could his parents have been killed by this sealing sword?
"Zhou Chang, what's wrong with you?" Angelina and the fat man saw that Zhou Chang's expression suddenly became sluggish, and they even said words of concern at the same time.
Zhou Chang froze, shook his head, and squeezed out a smile on his face, "I'm fine." He looked at Taizhang again, and said with a firm gaze, "This sword was left to me by my parents, and I may find my background from this sword, and I will not abandon him even if I die." ”
Taizhang shrugged his shoulders, looked like he was concerned about my, leaned his head against the boulder, and closed his eyes slightly.
The fat man looked around and said to Zhou Chang, "Do we still want to find a way?"
Among these four people, the fat man only trusts Zhou Chang.
Zhou Chang glanced at Angelina, saw that she had found a quiet place to sit down, and then looked at Taizhang with his eyes closed, and couldn't help frowning, thinking to himself Could it be that the two of them had already accepted their fate?
"Are you going or not?" Zhou Chang was a little annoyed, and his voice was much louder than usual.
Taizhang slowly opened his eyes, looked at Zhou Chang and sneered, "Hmph, where do you say you're going?"
Zhou Chang was dumbfounded by Taizhang's question, he had tried countless times yesterday, but he couldn't get out at all.
Taizhang saw that Zhou Changmu was stunned, and continued, "Can't you even see this? They are clearly playing with us, and when they lose interest, they will kill us, so why should we struggle for nothing. ”
Zhou Chang still didn't give up, he saw that Taizhang had easily cracked the dream illusion just now, and couldn't help asking: "Young Master Taizhang, can't you use charms to crack those illusions?"
Taizhang smiled bitterly, "The Dream Realm Illusion is composed of countless dreams, you can crack a hundred and a thousand, can you crack a hundred thousand million?"
After a pause, he said with a somewhat frustrated expression: "I had the same idea as you before, when I found out that I was in the dream illusion, I kept using the talisman technique to crack it until I fainted. That kind of shame, I don't want to go through it a second time. ”
Taizhang said very briefly, and didn't seem to want to mention yesterday's past.
Everyone sat there in silence, their faces all listless.
As the minutes ticked by, Angelina looked at the sky every once in a while, looking anxious on her face. It's been four hours, and her snow eagle hasn't been seen.
Zhou Chang saw Angelina's sad face, wanted to go over to comfort her, stood up, and didn't know what to say to her, so he had to sit down again, smiled bitterly, and looked at the iron sword in his hand in a daze.
Anyway, being killed by the demon is a foregone conclusion, but the fat man is no longer afraid in his heart, he doesn't care about anything, and he falls asleep.
The fat man hoped that while he was asleep, those hateful demons would kill him, so that he would not be spared the heart-rending pain.
Among all the people, only Zhou Chang has not completely given up, because he can't let go of Grandma Han who raised him.
Zhou Chang sat for less than half an hour, and then he couldn't sit still anymore, walking back and forth in front of the other three people. Thinking that this illusion should be similar to a ghost hitting a wall, he recalled as much as possible what the old people told about ghosts hitting a wall.
The old people once said that the ghost hitting the wall means that the ghost blinds people's eyes, and people instinctively keep going around the same place in circles.
"By the way, we were supposed to be walking in a circle, not a straight line. As long as we can get out of the straight line, we can get out. Zhou Chang became excited all of a sudden, but after thinking about it, how to ensure that he walked in a straight line?
The way to break the ghost wall is to find the blinded ghosts, or use spells to subdue and scare them away. The method of eliminating illusion should be similar, as long as you find the demon who casts the illusion, you should be able to break the illusion.
But where is the demon hiding?
