A bead of sweat rolled down his forehead. At this moment, after learning the number of locusts, Zhao Ping panicked, completely panicked. He had been calm and calm for the first time, and felt cold for the first time. Sweat was not only dripping from his forehead.
, even the palms of the hands holding the steering wheel gradually became stained with sweat.
At the same time, the man with glasses began to ask himself frequently, questioning himself: Is it worth it for the unknown benefits? Is it worth taking such a risk?
pity……
It's too late, it's useless to regret now. He has already set off, has rushed to the target, and is even about to arrive at Yinshan Mountain. And the current situation is indeed that the arrow is on the string and he has to act. There is no room for regret and giving up, let alone
Turn around and return.
At this moment, fear swept through Zhao Ping's heart and Yao Fujiang's heart. With the help of Chen Xiaoyao's mouth, a terrifying and unimaginable death crisis was placed in front of the two of them.
Breaking free from thoughts and shifting their gaze, at this moment, through the car window, staring ahead, looking at the Yinshan Mountain that is getting closer and closer, looking at the mountain that is so huge that it almost occupies the entire line of sight, everyone has a vague feeling, an indescribable feeling.
Unknown and shocking conjecture:
Perhaps, this trip to Yinshan Mountain is the last mission in their lives and the last time they see the sun.
………
There is no endless road in the world. No matter how far or short it is, as long as you keep moving, you will eventually reach the destination.
It is undeniable that the saying goes that a horse can run fast until it reaches the end of the road, but for a car, it is only a matter of time before it reaches the finish line.
As time went by, 20 minutes passed quickly. Amidst the roar of cars, Yinshan Mountain was getting closer and closer. In addition, the three of them also found that the closer they got to Yinshan Mountain, the more desolate it became, and the scenery outside the window gave people a more desolate feeling.
It felt like there was not a single other car or even a human figure around, especially when there were still a few kilometers away from Yinshan Mountain. The asphalt road ahead gradually disappeared and was replaced by a potholed dirt road.
The car, keeps driving, spinning its tires over the bumps..
When there was only the last kilometer left from Yinshan Mountain, there was no dirt road left, and the front turned into a wasteland, a wasteland overgrown with weeds and gravel. Seeing that there was no road for cars to drive on, in desperation, I stopped the car and turned off the engine.
, pushed open the car door, and the three of them got out of the car with their backpacks on their backs and walked forward. Soon, after walking several hundred meters forward, they arrived at the end. They reached their goal and officially arrived at the foot of Yinshan Mountain.
Looking up, as far as the eye can see, you can see that the Yinshan Mountain is huge, stretching and towering. At first glance, it actually gives people a sense of powerlessness, just like an ant looking up at a building. You will never understand your own insignificance unless you are close in front of you. The only thing worth it is
Fortunately, although Yinshan Mountain is big,
However, the slope of the mountain is not too steep. It is similar to the gentle slope of hills. Generally speaking, you can go up without climbing and just walk. At this moment, the three of them stood quietly at the foot of the mountain and looked up, observing the mountain and browsing the scenery in front of them.
A large mountain with dense vegetation.
"Gudu."
Thinking that he would soon enter the mountains in front of him, Yao Fujiang, who was beside Zhao Ping and Chen Xiaoyao, couldn't help swallowing. His legs were slightly weak and he looked quite nervous. Unfortunately, this time his nervousness was not affected.
Others didn't pay attention, and no one cared about the young man's thoughts. Instead, they gathered around at Chen Xiaoyao's greeting.
"Now, count them by yourself, 30 for each person. You already know how to use them, so I don't need to repeat them. Also, remember to use them sparingly."
At the foot of the mountain, Chen Xiaoyao made the first move, opened the lid of the box, and then divided the 90 Taoist charms carefully crafted last night into three parts and sent them one by one, handing them to Zhao and Yao respectively. At the end, he also told them to use them sparingly.
, took the Taoist Talisman, Zhao Ping did not count it in detail, put it into his trouser pocket, looked up at the huge mountain, hesitated for a moment, turned back to Chen Xiaoyao and asked: "You should know the general location of the Judge's Temple, right?"
As mentioned earlier, the main purpose of the three people coming to Yinshan is to get the soul-calling flag, and the soul-calling flag is located in the Judge's Temple. It is true that it is not too difficult to find a building in the limited area of the mountain forest, as long as there is enough time.
It will always be found. The truth is indeed at a loss, but it is a pity that tens of thousands of people are entrenched here.
The lonely soul was always threatening them like a time bomb. In addition, Chen Xiaoyao had previously stated that he did not know the precise location of the Magistrate's Temple. In order to avoid wasting time by searching blindly, with a certain thought, the man with glasses retreated to the next best thing and began to explore.
Sexual inquiry, asking the other party if they know the general location of Judge Temple.
Yes, it doesn't matter even if you can't know the exact location. As long as you know the general area and find the right direction, you will eventually gain something.
Not to mention, Zhao Ping didn't ask, but when he asked, Chen Xiaoyao actually didn't disappoint him. After finishing his words, he raised his head and scratched his head. The young Taoist priest nodded and replied: "General direction? Well, it's quite a bit.
Impression, although I personally have never been to Yinshan Mountain, my master did come once when he was young.
According to my master, the Judge’s Temple is located halfway up the mountain to the northwest, so after entering the mountain, the three of us can just keep walking northwest. The current time is 9:05 in the morning. If everything goes well, then everyone will be there around noon.
You can arrive at the Magistrate's Temple in a short time, and then return and leave in the afternoon."
(Unfortunately, this is only if everything goes well.)
After hearing Chen Xiaoyao's estimate, Zhao Ping nodded silently, raised his hand to adjust the bridge of his nose, and adjusted his glasses. He casually turned his eyes and glanced at Yao Fujiang. As far as he could see, he saw a pale face of the flat-headed young man, and his whole body was trembling, as if there was no one in front of him.
The mountain is a ghostly road leading to the underworld.
Seeing this, the bespectacled man narrowed his eyes slightly, or what Yao Fujiang, who was so preoccupied at the moment, did not notice was that... just now, Zhao Ping's eyes flashed when he looked at him, a cold light that was hard to detect.
The next moment, looking at the rugged mountain road in front of him that could still be barely discerned, and having made up his mind, Zhao Ping stopped writing and immediately told the two people beside him: "The discussion is over, time is running out, let's go into the mountain."
………
Putting aside all risk factors, strictly speaking, the scenery of Yinshan Mountain is quite good. At least it is not inferior to several nearby ornamental mountains that have long been developed into tourist attractions. The slope here is gentle and not as rugged as other mountains. Of course, so,
The scenery is pleasant only for ordinary people. For the executives, it doesn't make any sense even if it is ten times more beautiful. After all, they are not here to travel, but to risk their lives. There is no need to come here because of the ferocious locusts.
The evil and evil mountain that people set foot on.
Ta, da, da.
Currently Chen Xiaoyao, Zhao Ping and Yao Fujiang are walking on a rugged mountain road. They are lined up in a vertical line. Chen Xiaoyao is leading the way at the front, Zhao Ping is in the middle, and Yao Fujiang is at the end. The three of them are now in the bushes.
I walked on the mountain road for about 20 minutes, during which everything was normal and nothing happened. There was only a slight rustling sound made by the mountain wind blowing through the surrounding vegetation.
This is a good phenomenon. Nothing happens is exactly what the three of them want to see most. No one will feel bored, and no one will feel bored. The three of them wish that this boring silence can continue forever, until forever, until the mission
After finishing leaving Yinshan, it doesn’t matter if you are a little tired. Anyway, executors who exercise regularly are really not afraid of climbing mountains.
However, speaking of tiredness and physical exertion, as the walking continued, an unexpected phenomenon happened...
"Hoo, ho, ho!"
Walking along the mountain road, Chen Xiaoyao suddenly waved his hand, and immediately sat down on a large stone on the side of the road and never walked again. After that, he started breathing heavily, raising his hands to wipe the sweat, and he looked like
They were exhausted after just running a marathon. When they saw Chen Xiaoyao stop moving forward and see the other party sweating profusely and panting, behind them, Zhao Ping and Yao Fujiang suddenly felt puzzled and instinctively stopped moving forward. After a brief observation, Zhao Ping showed his confusion...
Yes, although walking along the mountain road for 20 minutes does consume more physical energy than on flat ground, the slope of the mountain is not too steep, not to mention that as executors, they all have good physical fitness. Take him, Zhao Ping, for example.
Before the cursed space, his physique could only be said to be average, but since he entered the cursed space, and after a series of supernatural missions, the man's physical condition has deteriorated.
His ability has increased significantly compared to what it used to be. As for Chen Xiaoyao, I don't deny that the other party is a newcomer. It can be said that the young man's martial arts is not inferior to that of Cheng Ying and his physique that he has practiced martial arts for many years should be stronger. In any case, he should not be tired.
In this case, you shouldn't just walk on the mountain trail for 20 minutes and then you will be exhausted and unable to walk, and you will be so exhausted that you urgently need to sit down and rest.
What's going on?
After seeing Taoist Chen's appearance, not only Zhao Ping was puzzled, but Yao Fujiang was also suspicious. He raised his feet and walked closer. At this moment, looking at the guy in front of him who was sweating and panting, the boy with a flat head was surprised. He was so surprised that he didn't know what to say for a moment.
What? He and Zhao Ping were just watching, both of them casting puzzled glances at him.
Until the confusion and suspicion reached its peak, and because he could not guess the reason for the time being, Zhao Ping frowned and asked first: "What's wrong with you? You look like... very tired?"
Hearing the bespectacled man's question, Chen Xiaoyao, who was sitting slumped on a rock on one side and resting, didn't know how to answer. In other words, he couldn't even figure out why he was so tired. Yes, is that really him? It's strange.
How long has it been walking? How can 20 minutes on the mountain road exhaust him like this? 20
Can a few minutes lead to a massive loss of physical energy? Is this possible? Not only is it impossible to logically say that among the three of them, I should also be the strongest physically. The truth is correct, but I never thought that the reality is just the opposite. After walking for less than half an hour, behind me
The two guys have nothing to do, but they are exhausted!?
This is not scientific!
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoyao wiped the sweat from his forehead, shook his head, and replied helplessly: "Huh, huh, I don't know. I always feel a little heavy..."
Um?
I don't know why, I don't know why, Chen Xiaoyao's words just fell. Opposite me, Zhao Ping was stunned at first, and then his expression changed drastically as if he had discovered something terrible. He even took several steps back! He even almost passed Yao Fujiang behind him.
Knocked down, at the same time, seeing the man with glasses like this
In response, Chen Xiaoyao was shocked for a moment, until lightning flashed across his mind, until suspicion emerged in his heart. At the same time, Zhao Pingze, who had retreated a few meters away, also completely changed his expression, staring at Chen Xiaoyao, and finally
He said something to him in a rather strange tone:
"I remember you should have a small Bagua mirror on you, right?"
He hesitated to speak. Since Zhao Ping didn't say anything else, Yao Fujiang, who had just been squeezed into the grass by the man with glasses, didn't understand that his right side was confused. However, the crew-cut young man's confusion didn't mean that everyone else didn't understand.
, as the person being questioned and the owner of the bronze mirror, Chen Xiaoyao instantly heard the meaning of the man's words, so...
brush!
It was too late to say, but it was too soon. As soon as Zhao Ping finished speaking, the young Taoist priest followed closely behind him and made a move. His face suddenly changed, his heart lifted, and his right hand reached into his arms as fast as possible, and he was about to
He took out the Bagua bronze mirror that he had always carried with him, then turned the bronze mirror upside down and pointed the mirror at himself, at his face...
Next…
Through the mirror reflection, he saw a scene:
Behind his neck, there is a face, a human face.
No, to be precise, it should be a 'person', or at this moment there is a 'person' with a face as pale as paper lying on his back!!!
Because the face was too white, it was impossible to tell whether the 'person' on the back was a man or a woman. However, the ferocious face as white as white paper and the deep eye sockets as black holes were still completely reflected in the Bagua mirror. At this moment, that pale head
Just like this, he was so close to himself, with his terrifying face resting on his shoulders and close to his neck, and even his whole body was lying on the young man's back.
No wonder he was exhausted, no wonder he was sweating profusely. It turned out that Chen Xiaoyao was carrying someone on his back the whole way!
Ding!
Seeing this scene, the next second, Chen Xiaoyao's entire face turned extremely ugly. Although ugly is ugly, his reaction in reality was somewhat unexpected.
Xu Shi's identity as a Taoist priest in Maoshan made him relatively immune to fear. With the help of a bronze mirror, after thoroughly seeing what was behind him, the young Taoist priest did not panic, lose control, or yell, nor did he get up and run around like crazy like ordinary people.
Instead, he remained motionless, just holding the bronze mirror and continuing to stay where he was, turning his eyes slightly, staring at his shoulder and white face, and then...
His left hand suddenly reached down and reached into his pocket at an astonishing speed that was too fast for the naked eye to detect. In the next moment, a yellow Taoist talisman was pasted towards the white face that was very close at hand!
And then...
There was nothing more, the face disappeared. Just when the Taoist talisman was about to stick to the face of the 'person', in an instant, through the Bagua mirror in his right hand, he found that the white-faced person behind him who had been lying on his back had disappeared, disappearing out of thin air.
Strange to say, let's not talk about how the white-faced person was able to disappear quickly. When the other person disappeared, Chen Xiaoyao also felt something. The heaviness that had been oppressing his body earlier dissipated, and his whole body suddenly felt lighter.
"call!"
After taking a long breath and being silent for a few seconds, Chen Xiaoyao stood up. He saw that he had stood up again and was no longer tired. Although he could not be said to be a hundred times more energetic, he was no longer panting or sweating. It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted off him.
So relaxed and joyful.
This scene was naturally seen by Zhao and Yao. The only difference was that they could only see a series of Chen Xiaoyao's movements, but they could not see the white-faced man who disappeared inexplicably.
Back to the subject, when he saw Chen Xiaoyao standing up from the ground with a dignified expression, and saw that the other party was getting rid of fatigue, he felt something in his heart. In addition, he vaguely realized that the crisis was over, Zhao Ping walked closer thoughtfully, looked up and down for a moment, and finally asked: "
Tell me, I want to know whether the guess I just made is correct."
Smart people often don't like to talk nonsense, and they often go straight to the topic in their conversations. This is the case for He Fei, and the same is true for Zhao Ping, but...
Facing the bespectacled man's questioning, which was equivalent to coercion, Chen Xiaoyao did not answer. Instead, he stood there with his brows furrowed. He seemed to be thinking about something and analyzing something. Seeing that the other party reacted strangely, Zhao Ping did not continue to ask.
Waiting so patiently and silently.
If you look at it from a third perspective at this moment, you will see a scene like this:
On a rugged mountain road, mixed with rocks and trees, a young man wearing a shit-yellow coat stood there with his head bowed in thought. Next to him stood a man with glasses, and further behind there was a young man with a flat head. At present,
He was scratching his head while looking at the two people in front of him with doubtful eyes.
Yes, since he couldn't see the white-faced man, Yao Fujiang had been in a state of confusion. He didn't know what had just happened, let alone what Zhao Ping meant. He wanted to ask, but when he saw Chen Xiaoyao's pensive look, he moved.
Lips, the young man still swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
Silence continued one after another, slowly maintained in everyone's silence.
Until Chen Xiaoyao raised his head again, glanced at the two people beside him, and finally uttered two words from his mouth:
"Hymphony!"
Without hesitation or hesitation, Zhao Ping narrowed his eyes slightly after confirming the other party's answer and asked again: "Explain."
Chen Xiaoyao nodded and walked to the side of the road. He first scanned the surroundings with vigilant eyes to confirm that there was nothing unusual. Then he returned to his usual relaxed expression. Then he turned around and explained, which may be understood as introducing a certain method to everyone.
A new type of monster, a terrifying evil that the executor has never been exposed to before.
"Ahem, after the mission on Yin-Yang Road, I think we all have a better understanding of the lonely soul. The lonely soul is not very capable and has a vague consciousness. It will only rely on its instinct to actively attack those who are close to its perception range.
As for this living person, uh, how do you say this?
Well, the ability is basically the same as that of the lonely soul. The only difference is that the meadow monster has a certain level of sanity. Although it may not be 100% as sane as a human being, it at least knows how to use strategies. As expected, it just lay on my back.
That thing on top is a charcoal."
Xu Shi was still frightened by the incident. He paused and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Chen Xiaoyao shook his head unconsciously and smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I personally do have the ability to deal with the devil. The strength is the same when facing hard steel.
I'm really not afraid of things like Lonely Soul, but it's a pity.
It's a pity that I was careless. I didn't expect that thing to lie on my body without knowing it and quietly absorb the life force. If you hadn't reminded me in time, Senior Zhao, I would have let it lie on me for another half an hour... By then I would
Even if you don’t die, don’t even think about moving a step.”
Many times, fear does not necessarily have to be experienced personally, but more often comes from fear, from the shuddering memories that emerge afterwards. That being said, the reality is indeed the case. Sure enough, after listening to Chen Xiaoyao's explanation, Zhao
The hairs on his flat back stood up! Similarly, after the explanation, Yao Fujiang, who completely understood what happened just now, shivered subconsciously, and reached his right hand into his pocket involuntarily, as if he would immediately take out something if there was any sign of trouble.
thing.
"Hey, hey, hey, Yao Fujiang, you don't have to be so nervous. I'm holding a Taoist talisman in my hand right now. This thing will spontaneously combust if there is any danger."
Seeing that the flat-headed young man was so nervous, Chen Xiaoyao comforted him and was about to continue speaking. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ping got ahead of him and asked with a frown: "How did the mantle come into being? What are its specific abilities? Just now, even you...
Taoist priests will all fall prey to this trick, but I don’t think the threat from that thing called a psilocybin is very small. Also, since you said there was a psilocybin lying on you earlier, why can’t everyone see it?”
Undoubtedly, unlike others, the bespectacled man has a delicate mind. He can find out a lot of doubts from the explanation after just pondering for a few seconds. As mentioned above, how does the mantra come into being? What is its ability? More importantly...
Why can't I see the scorpion!?
Noticing the obvious look of distrust in Zhao Ping's eyes, Chen Xiaoyao was not angry, nor did he dare to be angry. He just nodded and continued to explain: "Well, you are right, Senior Zhao. The threat to human beings is indeed far away
Higher than a lonely soul, even so, but
The strength of Chi Mei is indeed almost the same as that of Lone Soul. There is absolutely no lie. The only difference is that Chi Mei is more sane and knows how to rationally use its own abilities to attack living people. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing you should know. In fact, ordinary people
Spirits are often invisible
Invisible, just like the vast majority of souls. The reason why souls are invisible is because their abilities are too weak and their own Yin Qi is extremely low. Living people naturally do not notice it. However, the solitary soul is different. Because the solitary soul has
The scattered yin energy is much stronger than the soul and can be seen by ordinary people. Note that although lonely souls can see with their eyes, they can still become invisible as long as they are willing to be spirits. The reason why most lonely souls can be seen
It’s just that they are affected by confusion and do not know how to use their abilities rationally.”
"As for higher-level Li Qi or things above Li Qi..."
"Leave aside for the moment that most Li Qi are crazy and irrational. Even if a conscious Li Qi occasionally appears, with Li Qi's nearly invincible strength, is it still necessary to be invisible?"
"Then what do you mean..."
After listening to Chen Xiaoyao's explanation, with Zhao Ping's ability to understand, he remained silent for a moment. He seemed to understand, and he vaguely guessed something.
If the bespectacled man had realized something, Chen Xiaoyao, who never gave up until he finished speaking, did not give the other party a chance to guess. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and added again: "Yes, the soul has no ability to appear, and the lonely soul does not know how to be invisible. Extremely
The rare conscious Li Mei disdains invisibility. If this is the case, then the Li Mei, who is not strong but has a clear consciousness, becomes the most threatening existence!"
