Chapter 19: The Mirage of the Mountain City
The rain rained all night, I don't know how many yellow leaves fell, the mountains and forests were muddy, the red sun was rising, the water vapor in the forest was rising, and it was white again.
A few drops of crystal water on the half-withered, half-green leaves slid down the jagged edges, gently falling on the withered leaves below. Lin Fan walked through the muddy mountain forest, where there were no roads, only potholed terrain and patches of withered yellow rattan under the trees.
After the rain, small pools of water formed in the potholes, and some small bugs the size of sesame seeds swam around in them. A rainbow was erected between the two mountains in the distance, this was the first time Lin Fan had seen a rainbow in the Great Wilderness of Kyushu, and it was an autumn rainbow.
There was a long chirp from the far side of the sky, and the sound shook the four fields, sweeping the mountains, and Lin Fan looked through the obstruction of the branches and leaves.
It was a giant bird, fanning its wings between the distant peaks, and its shadow cast from the sky obscured a mountain below!
"What a terrible beast, like the legendary Peng Bird!" Lin Fan came back to his senses for a long time, and the shock in his heart can be imagined.
Lin Fan knew that he was about to go deep into the vast Barren West Mountain Range, and those legendary beasts and mysterious demon clans inhabited the depths of this lofty mountain!
The giant bird kept flying eastward, and its huge figure gradually turned into a black dot and disappeared into the rising red sun.
Lin Fan walked for a while, there was no road ahead, and a mountain stream was cut off in front of him.
The stream has been cut off, revealing the blue rocks at the bottom of the stream, and a few tall stone pillars are erected.
"What's that?" Lin Fan found that the stone pillars were arranged in a strange pattern, and the stone pillars were also engraved with dense text-like things.
The mountain stream was not deep, and Lin Fan slowly climbed down an ancient vine.
Because of the rain, many stones on the stone wall of the mountain stream were loosened, and when Lin Fan stepped on it, they all turned into gravel and rolled down.
"It seems to be an abandoned formation!" Lin Fan muttered to himself as he stroked a rough cyan stone pillar. These stone pillars can be full of hieroglyphic patterns, not those talismans and seals of the Great Wilderness of Kyushu that Lin Fan has seen.
"It's really strange, could it be a more ancient totem or writing?" Lin Fan was puzzled, these words were crawling and crawling, and they were impossible to identify at all, judging from the fact that the stone pillar was eroded by the wind and rain, I am afraid that it has a history of more than a thousand years.
There are a total of eighteen stone pillars, most of which are still standing, and have not been washed away and fallen when the water has passed, and only three stone pillars have been knocked down by the stones washed down by the torrent.
The stone pillars also seem to be made of special materials, they are extremely heavy, but also indestructible, and those fallen stone pillars show no signs of damage.
Lin Fan was curious and lifted up those fallen stone pillars, wanting to see what these stone pillars were for?
Just when Lin Fan straightened the third stone pillar, a change occurred, and a chain of spiritual energy was erected between those stone pillars, and those hieroglyphic runes on the stone pillars flashed with a strange colorful light. The runes seemed to come alive, detached from the pillars, and dragons leaped between them.
Lin Fan couldn't advance or retreat among the eighteen stone pillars, and the dense spiritual energy chain between the stone pillars couldn't pass through at all.
A strange pattern appeared under Lin Fan's feet, it seemed to be a totem of a strange beast, with a bird's body and a dragon's head, and he didn't know what kind of strange beast it was.
The spiritual energy chain between the stone pillars became denser and denser, and at the end of the day, a barrier was formed, and those hieroglyphic-like talismans were frozen in this barrier, and the entire formation began to operate, and the totem under Lin Fan's feet was full of light, and Lin Fan was suddenly submerged in the blending points of light.
Lin Fan was dizzy, he couldn't see what was around him, and he felt that he was being sucked into a mysterious place by an irresistible force like a black hole. The light spots around Lin Fan gradually condensed into a thin film and stuck to Lin Fan's body.
Outside, there was darkness that could not be seen, and Lin Fan suspected that he had lost his vision for a while, but soon he realized that it seemed to be nothingness.
"It should be the void in the mouth of the immortal cultivator!" Lin Fan thought, he speculated that the void should be a special space, it seemed to overlap with the real world realm, and could be connected to every corner of the real world realm. It is said that if you reach a certain level of cultivation, you can travel through the void and quickly reach your destination.
Lin Fan was wrapped in a special film of light and walked forward, losing his sense of time here, so that Lin Fan didn't know how long it had been in the outside world.
I don't know how long it took, Lin Fan finally saw a light appear in front of him, no longer a lifeless cold darkness.
Lin Fan seemed to be attracted by a magnet, and he couldn't help but float towards the light.
"It should be to another teleportation array!" Lin Fan speculated.
Sure enough, Lin Fan was once again submerged in the point of light, and when he opened his eyes, it was a different scene.
He was still in the middle of a stone formation, but this stone formation was very new, and it was obviously not the same one as before.
This stone henge is located in a valley surrounded by a lot of bluegrass, and the slopes of the valley are dense canes that have begun to turn yellow.
Lin Fan walked out of the stone formation, and there was an ancient road in front of him, paved with bluestone, winding to the outside of the valley.
"Could it be that I was teleported to a place where people lived?" Lin Fan couldn't help but wonder.
Lin Fan walked along the ancient road to the outside of the valley, and the elegant and refreshing orchid fragrance brought people the illusion of a fairyland outside the world.
Out of the valley, Lin Fan was disappointed. Outside the valley are mountains, outside the mountains are mountains, and outside the sky are mountains. It's still that lofty mountain, but I don't know where the road has been spread to this barren mountain range.
Lin Fan looked at the sky, the sun had just risen at this time, and it seemed that he hadn't stayed in the stone formation for long. Lin Fan was heading towards the east, since he was still in this Desolate West Mountain Range, it was right to go to the east.
It had also rained in the mountains here, the rain had not dried, and the ground was still very slippery, so Lin Fan cautiously walked forward in the forest. There was no sound of birds and beasts moving around, which made Lin Fan very uneasy, which showed that this place was mostly the territory of some powerful beasts.
"I hope I don't run into some invincible existence. Lin Fan muttered to himself.
Lin Fan walked halfway up the mountainside, and he inadvertently saw a dazzling brilliance circulating on the opposite mountainside, and Lin Fan's eyes were attracted to it.
There seems to be a fairyland in the mountains, there are fairy shadows flying in the clouds and mist, there are unique and elegant pavilions standing on the peaks and rocks, cranes hovering in the sky, there are unicorns shuttling between buildings, and there are golden dragons leaping in the fairy ponds where the fairy energy rises in the mountains...... A faction is not a scene in the world.
"Is it 'Mountain City'? this should all be a mirage!" Those things seemed very real, but Lin Fan always had an illusory feeling.
Lin Fan faintly heard the ethereal fairy music, the sound was far and near, long and up-and-down, real and illusory...... Lin Fan thought that he had listened to the sounds of the earth when he caught the red fish, and this fairy music seemed to be even better.
Lin Fan couldn't help but begin to wonder if it was real or illusory, but the immortal music that also seemed to be empty and real made Lin Fan confused.
Lin Fan decided to take a look, if it was the mirage illusion of the "Mountain City", then it would naturally make it self-defeating when it got there, and if it was a real scene, maybe this was a kind of opportunity for Lin Fan.
The closer you get to the mountain, the more real the sound of fairy music becomes, as if it is playing in your ears, and you can't tell where it came from.
As Lin Fan approached, the scene began to change, and Xianle began to blur and gradually turn into another sound.
The mirage of the mountain city was also blurred, and it gradually turned into a round mirror that covered half of the mountain, and in the mirror was the scene of another world!
Lin Fan walked to the foot of the mountain range, just in time to see the scene in the mirror.
In the mirror, there is also the scene of lofty mountains, but it is desolate and far away, the verdant mountains stretch for tens of thousands of miles, like a cyan dragon sleeping and dormant; there are ancient trees in the mountains, the branches and leaves stretch and the sea of clouds; the golden peng bird spreads its wings and flies high, and the strong wind of its wings shatters a mountain range; the silver-backed giant ape the size of the mountain bag stretches out his hand to grab a dragon in the mountain stream and devour it alive; a peak is covered with snow, and only when you look carefully can you realize that it is a white python wrapped around the top of the mountain......
"Only in the ancient desolate world realm of myths and legends can there be these giant beasts that can fight the heavens and the earth!" Lin Fan muttered to himself, setting off waves in his heart.
Lin Fan's belief in cultivation is even firmer, if he can cultivate to that realm, there is no place between heaven and earth where he can't go, Kunpeng can flap his wings and soar up to 90,000 miles, and the dragon stirring the sea can set off monstrous waves!
Lin Fan had heard those immortal cultivators say that before the Great Wilderness of Kyushu, there was an era of ancient floods, and it was an era of fighting the heavens and the earth, and it was in that era that human beings arose!
Lin Fan stretched out his hand to touch the scene in the mirror, if it was true, Lin Fan really wanted to see the magnificent era that sounded exciting!
At this time, Lin Fan felt a huge suction force to suck himself into the mirror, he couldn't break free, and his body was gradually sucked in.
"Demon Mirage!Heaven and Earth are illusory!" A voice like a yellow bell came into Lin Fan's ears, and Lin Fan felt that the world was spinning, as if he was about to be swallowed by the ancient desolate world in the mirror.
Lin Fan's eyes were dark and he lost consciousness, and when he opened his eyes again, there was a different scene between heaven and earth.
It was surrounded by mountains and forests, but it was full of coniferous forests and ancient ferns, and there were many small creatures that Lin Fan had never seen before jumping around on the leaves that were larger than a person.
"Is this the Ancient Flood Era?" Lin Fan muttered to himself, but he quickly overturned his speculation.
He had clearly heard the vicissitudes of life like Huang Zhong Da Lu before, "Demon Mirage, Heaven and Earth are illusory!"
"Demon Clan's Mirage?Demon Clan?Could it be that I inadvertently broke into the Demon Clan's World Realm?" Lin Fan thought about it, and only this explanation was reasonable.
