The Painted Skin Master was originally a scholar, but after repeated attempts failed, he was so frustrated that he jumped off a cliff and committed suicide. Then he obtained a martial arts secret book, which is called "The Art of Painted Skin".

When he first started practicing the "Skin Painting Technique", he practiced with some homeless people and beggars. He watched those people struggle and scream, and he peeled off the skin bit by bit, revealing their bloody bodies.

At that time, he was just a little scholar, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was as timid as a mouse. Thinking of that, he had nightmares all night long, dreaming that the people who had been skinned by him came to pay for his life and wanted to skin him.

of human skin.

Even though he has now reached a great level of cultivation, he still has nightmares sometimes, which has almost become his inner demon obsession.

And just now he saw the people he killed coming to skin him and demand their lives, so he was so panicked and frightened.

As for the Lame Immortal, he suffered a natural disaster when he was a child. Tens of thousands of people starved to death due to famine, and he almost starved to death. Therefore, he has been very obsessed with food since he was a child. He likes to eat, especially delicious food.

He had just seen countless delicacies in the illusion, which were all delicious, delicious and tempting, so he couldn't help but eat them and couldn't stop at all.

These are the secrets in their hearts, their thoughts, fears, and thoughts. How can they let others know?

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious. If you don't want to talk about it, forget it."

Xie Taohua looked slightly disappointed and said: "Since you guys don't welcome me, I'll take my leave first."

"Oh, by the way, I would like to remind you, be careful of those visions."

"Brother Xie misunderstood, we didn't mean it that way." Master Painted Skin hurriedly explained, and then said: "What does brother Xie know?"

Xie Taohua shook her head and said: "I don't know, I don't know anything. I only know that those visions seem to create various illusions based on different people's perceptions, feelings and spiritual weaknesses. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. The three people's mental states are different.

If you have free time, it’s best to go down the mountain early.”

After saying that, Xie Taohua was ready to leave.

"Thank you for the tip, brother. It's just that we're already here, so why don't we go up and have a look?" said the Painted Skin Master.

The more dangerous the vision in the sky is, the more powerful and powerful the treasure on the top of the mountain is. This kind of thing is often a rare opportunity and good fortune. They may not encounter it twice in this life, so no matter what, they

Won't you give up?

"That's what I said. It's up to you whether you want to or not." Xie Taohua said nonchalantly.

"Brother Xie, wait a minute." Lame Immortal and Painted Skin Young Master Hu Jun exchanged cryptic glances, and hurriedly stopped Xie Taohua: "I see what Brother Xie wants, and we have to continue going up the mountain. Now this Peach Blossom Mountain is weird and dangerous. If Brother Xie doesn't

If you don't like it, we can go up the mountain together so that we can take care of each other."

"Yes, Brother Xie, if you have more people, you will have more strength." Painted Young Master also said.

"That's fine, it just so happens that I feel a little bored by myself." Xie Taohua tilted her head and thought for a moment, finally nodded, and walked towards the three of them with a smile, without any hint of wariness.

The painted-skinned young man frowned slightly. He couldn't understand the man in front of him. He didn't know if he was really pure-minded and had a sinister heart. Or was he relying on his own strength and someone else to rely on?

There is a high probability that the latter possibility is the majority.

He had already expected this.

In fact, the reason why he invited Xie Taohua was because he was interested in the other party's strength, especially Xie Taohua's ability to resist the strange illusions caused by the vision on the top of the mountain and help them climb the mountain.

As for whether Xie Taohua would compete with them for treasures after climbing to the top of the mountain, he wasn't too worried. Could it be that the three of them couldn't defeat Xie Taohua alone?

He didn't believe it.

If Xie Taohua is really so powerful that even the three of them can't defeat her together, then why join forces with them? Wouldn't it be better to just go up the mountain alone?

"Stop being stunned and let's go."

Xie Taohua glanced at the three people who were still stunned, said hello, and took the lead to walk towards the top of the mountain.

The further you go to the top of the mountain, the more frequent the visions in the sky become. Sometimes there is a gentle breeze, sometimes there are flowers falling from the sky, sometimes lightning and thunder, sometimes heavy rain, sometimes fairy music floating in the air, sometimes beautiful women like clouds, and so on.

Following the strange phenomena in the sky, the four of them will unknowingly fall into various weird and bizarre illusions, and the illusions everyone sees are different.

For example, if a young master loves power, he will see that he is inferior to ten thousand people, that he has the power over the world, and that he lies drunk in the lap of a beautiful woman;

If the lame immortal loves gold and silver, he will see that he is sitting on endless wealth and cannot enjoy all the glory and wealth in the world;

If a tiger king has strength, he will see that he is invincible in the world, his life span is as long as the sky, and he will have a green name for thousands of years;

If Xie Peach Blossom is afraid of aging, she will see that her face is aging, her youth is gone, her teeth are white and she is ugly.

In fact, not only various illusions and visions in the sky will also magnify the weaknesses of their souls for no reason, such as raging greed and killing each other; grief and indignation, unstoppable anger; uncontrollable joy that cannot be restrained; ignorance and doubts that are difficult to eliminate, and each other.

Suspicion; fear, anxiety; etc.

Sometimes, they can't even tell whether the things in front of them are illusions or reality, whether the companions in front of them have good intentions or bad intentions, and whether what they think in their hearts is true or false.

Several times, they almost fell into hallucinations and were unable to wake up;

On several occasions, they suspected each other and killed each other for unreasonable things;

If it weren't for Xie Taohua and the mysterious weapon called the Wooden Fish Boy, they might have died in various illusions long ago.

But even so, the closer they get to the top of the mountain, the stronger the invisible and strange power becomes. Even if there are no various visions, they will unknowingly fall into various illusions and be affected by them.

The closer you get to the top of the mountain, more and more people die, including some prominent figures in Beiyou, such as Night Owl, Fat and Thin Shuangsha, Mobei Tutuo, Six-fingered Evil Monk, etc.

The circumstances of their deaths were also different. In the past, they might have had doubts, but now, everyone knows that they were undoubtedly affected by the strange power on the top of the mountain, or killed each other.

Either he falls into an illusion and dies, or he becomes confused, becomes insane and dies; etc.

"Huh... finally here."

Fortunately, the four of them were not weak, and after their hard work, they finally climbed to the top of the mountain without any danger.

"Hey...what is that?"

After reaching the top of the mountain, a huge black lotus appeared in front of them.

The black lotus has nine petals, which contain mysterious Taoist charms. The lotus petals stretch out and sway with mysterious energy, forming various magnificent and dreamy phenomena in the air, which are touching.

The Painted Skin Young Master, Lame Immortal, Tiger Lord, and Xie Taohua all had a dreamy luster in their eyes, and they slowly walked towards Black Lotus with foolish expressions.

The girl floating next to Xie Taohua saw Xie Taohua's strange behavior, hurriedly picked up the huge mallet and hit the wooden fish hard.

With a soft sound of "Du", Xie Taohua's body trembled, and there was a trace of struggle on her face, but after stopping for a moment, she walked towards Heilian uncontrollably.

"Tuk tuk tuk..."

Seeing this, the girl pouted her little mouth, held the mallet, and kept hitting the wooden fish. With the sound of knocking, countless tiny cracks appeared on the wooden fish visible to the naked eye.

As if she could feel the cracks in the wooden fish, the girl curled her lips and almost burst into tears.
