He looked at the empty official road in front of him, feeling a little confused.
With his pace, he should have been able to see Youzhou City long ago after walking for so long.
But now, within the field of vision, there is no city at all, let alone the city, not even a human figure can be seen.
"There is indeed a problem."
Zhou Shu stopped and held the giant sword in front of him. He pressed his hands on the hilt and closed his eyes.
Within the consciousness, five towering mountains rise from the ground, one is slightly solid, and the other four are ethereal.
The sea of consciousness has no waves, and his spiritual consciousness is like water, covering Zhou Shu's entire body and spreading outward as much as possible.
Divine consciousness is an ability that Zhou Shu gained after practicing the visualization of the true forms of the Five Mountains.
This ability derived from condensing his mental power to a certain level allows him to be fully aware of everything around him.
Under the shroud of divine consciousness, nothing can be hidden!
A three-dimensional picture seemed to appear in Zhou Shu's mind, and everything around him was mapped out as clearly as if it were being scanned by radar.
Suddenly, Zhou Shu "saw" a black mist filling the surroundings of his body.
An extremely cold feeling was introduced into Zhou Shu's consciousness.
He was startled and opened his eyes suddenly.
In front of me is still the empty official road, empty of people, and there is no black mist.
Zhou Shu raised his head and glanced at the sky. The sun was high in the sky, and the warm sunlight shone on him.
But the cold feeling he just felt was like a nail in his tarsal bone, always entangled in his consciousness.
Zhou Shu knew that this was not his illusion.
This Youzhou is really weird!
"The disappearance of everyone may have something to do with this black mist."
Zhou Shu pondered in his heart, "What exactly is this black mist? Why can't it be seen with the naked eye, but can be seen with the spiritual sense?"
Zhou Shu turned the golden bell, and a faint golden light emitted from his body.
The cold feeling in my consciousness has slightly lessened, but it still exists.
The golden bell, which is known as the best defense in the world, can't stop the invasion of this black mist.
This is because Zhou Shu's golden bell has not yet reached the state of perfection where golden light is indestructible and water, fire and poison are invulnerable. Firstly, it is also because this black mist is indeed very weird!
The cold feeling in his consciousness is getting worse. Even if there is a golden bell, if it continues, Zhou Shu feels that his consciousness will be frozen by this cold feeling sooner or later.
Consciousness is not an entity. Zhou Shu doesn’t know what will happen after it is frozen, but it is definitely not a good thing.
We must find Yin Wuyou and Sun Pingping as soon as possible!
Zhou Shu didn't waste any more time. He stepped forward with great force and rushed forward.
"Rumble——"
A thunderous sound echoed in the air. Zhou Shu held a heavy sword in his hand and strode on the official road.
With every step he took, streaks of smoke and dust would rise from the ground, leaving clear footprints on the hard ground.
Such a step counts several feet, and Zhou Shu walks like flying.
He has been walking like this for an hour. At his speed, in one hour, it will be more than a hundred miles away.
But the scene in front of him hardly changed.
The straight official road seems to have no end.
On both sides of the road, there are continuous mountains, lush and green.
Youzhou is surrounded by mountains, almost like being in a valley, but it is impossible to walk hundreds of miles without seeing Youzhou City.
"Ghost hits the wall?"
Zhou Shu finally stopped. Although he had the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu and the Golden Bell Shield close by, he would not be tired even if he ran for another day, but now it seemed that it was impossible for him to run out like this. He felt that he should be in a state similar to that of a ghost hitting a wall. He thought he had run far away, but in fact he might not have moved at all.
In this case, even if he runs to death from exhaustion, he may not be able to run out.
"Did Yin Wuyou, Youzhou, and the Bingzhou army lose news like this?"
Zhou Shu frowned. He tried the sound transmission stone that Yang Hong left for him, and found that it had indeed lost its effect.
"Is this man-made or some other reason? If it is man-made, who did it? Da Wei?"
Zhou Shu shook his head and denied himself, "If Da Wei had this kind of method, they wouldn't have to use such tricks at all and just attack Da Xia directly."
Even a martial arts master like Yin Wuyou can be trapped. If the Wei Dynasty masters this method, it can directly destroy Daxia!
Is there any need to deliberately lose Youbian and Erzhou to Daxia?
"Perhaps you can think of it this way. Something happened in Youbian and Erzhou, which caused this place to become like this. Da Wei must have discovered something, so they wanted to throw the trouble to Da Xia."
"Return Youzhou and Bingzhou directly to Daxia. All fools know there is a problem, so they deliberately proposed a gambling method."
"In order to lose more naturally, they even developed a very powerful standard weapon. In order to avoid losing, they also sent Shen Yue to the Weaponry Department to inquire about the news. That challenge may be to find out the big news.
Xia’s standard weapons situation, it’s not to win, but to lose less fakely——”
"So, the Wei Dynasty can't solve the accident that caused You to merge with the two states!"
Zhou Shu reasoned out a conclusion in his mind.
If it can be solved, the Wei Dynasty will not give up easily and merge with the two states.
The current situation can only show that the Wei Dynasty cannot solve it, and they are worried that the situation of annexing the two states will spread, so they would rather cut off the flesh than let them stay in their hands.
"How can the Wei Dynasty be sure that if they cede the two states of Youbian to Daxia, the changes here will not affect them?"
This is something Zhou Shu couldn't figure out.
He couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. Now for him, finding a way to solve the predicament was the top priority.
"Eighteen Shocking Swords!"
The giant sword in Zhou Shu's hand soared into the sky, the violent sword energy raged, and the roaring sound was endless.
After a while, within five steps of Zhou Shu, everything was in a mess.
Useless!
Zhou Shu put the giant sword back on his back and frowned.
He almost unleashed his most powerful attack just now, but it was useless!
The cold feeling in my consciousness is still there!
The attack of the giant sword has no effect.
"They cannot be seen with the naked eye, but can be seen with spiritual consciousness. So can spiritual consciousness attack them?"
Zhou Shu frowned and thought.
When he thought of it, he did it. Zhou Shu didn't hesitate and sat down cross-legged.
He calmed down and visualized the true shapes of the Five Mountains in his mind.
Five towering mountains suddenly fell into the sea of consciousness.
Mount Song in the middle, Mount Tai in the east, Mount Huashan in the west, Mount Heng in the south, and Mount Heng in the north!
The five mountains are all illusory, and only part of Zhongyue Songshan Mountain has a slightly solid feeling.
Visualization of the true shapes of the five mountains, but when all five mountains in Zhou Shu's sea of consciousness are completely solidified, it will be the time of great achievement.
At that time, his soul will be unified and he will have incredible power.
But now, he is still far away from Dacheng.
But even so, after visualizing the Five Mountains, Zhou Shu's aura also changed.
The whole person carried an aura as thick as a mountain, and his spiritual consciousness turned into five peaks, suddenly attacking towards the black mist that flashed in his spiritual consciousness.
"Boom——"
The silent vibration came out, setting off turbulent waves in Zhou Shu's sea of consciousness.
The black mist that could only be seen with spiritual consciousness did not dissipate after being hit by the true form of the Five Mountains. Instead, it condensed.
The black mist condensed into a pair of eyes, hanging in the air, staring at Zhou Shu.
"Pretend to be a ghost!"
Seeing that the spiritual attack was effective, Zhou Shu felt a little more relaxed. He was afraid that there was nothing he could do with the black mist. Since he could attack it, it meant that it was not impossible to deal with.
"The true form of the five mountains, smash it for me!"
Zhou Shu shouted in his heart, and his consciousness condensed into the true form of the Five Mountains, roaring and smashing towards the black eyes in the sky.
"Boom——"
The mountain peaks are extremely majestic, but those eyes are very small in comparison.
The two collided uncoordinatedly, setting off a storm in Zhou Shu's consciousness.
"Humph!"
Zhou Shu let out a muffled groan, and traces of blood oozed from all his orifices.
Within the consciousness, the black eyes have been shattered into pieces and disappeared into streaks of black mist.
Zhou Shu had been staring at the black mist with his consciousness. He keenly discovered that when most of the black mist disappeared, there was a trace of black mist flying away in one direction.
"Want to escape?"
Zhou Shu gave a low drink, and regardless of his dizziness, he stood up and strode towards the direction where the wisp of black mist was escaping.
Along the way, Zhou Shu's spiritual consciousness discovered that there was black mist everywhere. He could only use his spiritual consciousness to transform into the true form of the Five Mountains, and rush all the way to find a way.
At this time, he didn't even bother to look at the road. He just stared in the direction where the black mist that remained after he was knocked away had escaped. He opened roads across mountains and built bridges over water.
The further he walked, the thicker the black mist became, and Zhou Shu felt more and more strenuous. Most of his consciousness had been consumed.
The attack of the Five Sacred Mountains in its true form was extremely draining for him.
But he couldn't stop. Once he stopped attacking, the black mist would invade his consciousness crazily, freezing his mind until he completely lost consciousness.
Zhou Shu gritted his teeth and persisted, constantly rushing forward.
Finally, he felt a light in front of his eyes, as if a barrier had been broken through, and all the black mist disappeared from his consciousness.
Instead, there is a sense of light.
Zhou Shu opened his eyes subconsciously.
The surroundings are filled with white mist, and you can't see anything beyond a few steps.
Not far in front of him, there was a mirror suspended!
The mirror is one foot in diameter and has a simple shape. Black mist is constantly pouring out from the mirror surface and flowing into the air.
Zhou Shu frowned. Did the black mist come from this mirror?
What is this place?
Zhou Shu clenched the giant sword and became alert for a moment. The golden bell automatically activated, and a faint golden light emitted from his body, illuminating his surroundings.
Zhou Shu approached the mirror step by step and cautiously.
He is well prepared, and if anything happens, he will take action as soon as possible.
The Juque Sword and the Shocking Eighteen Swords are not just for vegetarians!
He approached the mirror step by step, and nothing unexpected happened.
The black mist emanating from the mirror did not invade him, but dispersed in the air.
When he came closer, Zhou Shu saw that he could actually see the scene inside the mirror!
What he saw was not his own shadow, but a city!
That’s right, it’s a city!
The city is still full of people!
Those people were like walking zombies, walking on the street with stiff expressions.
"This is——Youzhou City?"
Zhou Shu was shocked. Did this mirror hide Youzhou City?
What the hell is it?
Even a top-grade weapon doesn’t have this ability, right?
No, maybe it’s not that it took Youzhou City in, but that it controlled the people in Youzhou City!
I don't know if it was because of the mirror, but Zhou Shu could see the people in the mirror with his naked eyes. Everyone was covered in thick black mist.
"Everyone who entered Youzhou City was invaded by black mist and turned into unconscious puppets?"
Zhou Shu felt chills all over his body. If he hadn't practiced the visualization of the true forms of the Five Mountains, he would most likely have turned into a zombie-like existence in the mirror.
"Who's here? Get out of here!"
Zhou Shu raised his giant sword, the sword was shining brightly, and he shouted loudly.
The surroundings were deathly silent, and the mirror showed no reaction at all.
Zhou Shu frowned and waited for a while, but there was still no response.
"No one?"
Zhou Shu frowned, "Then I'll split this mirror and see what you can do!"
Zhou Shu shouted loudly, and the giant sword turned into a bright light, and stood heavily on the mirror.
"Buzz——"
Zhou Shu only felt a strong force. His arm went numb, and the giant sword came out of his hand. His whole body was shaken by the strong force and he was knocked backwards.
After taking several steps back, Zhou Shu stabilized his figure. He stared at the mirror with a look of shock on his face.
With one strike of his sword, he can even cut off the arm of a first-level martial arts expert!
Now he was so shocked by a mirror that he dropped his sword?
What is the origin of this ghost mirror!
The mirror didn't move at all, still floating quietly in the air, as if it was not it that Zhou Shu had just attacked.
Seeing the black mist still forming on the mirror, Zhou Shu's heart moved.
That black mist can only be attacked by spiritual consciousness. Is the same with this mirror?
Zhou Shu took a deep breath and picked up the giant sword first.
Although the sword attack was ineffective, he felt somewhat at ease holding the sword.
Returning to the mirror again, Zhou Shu closed his eyes slightly and visualized the true shape of the Five Mountains in his consciousness.
I don't know how long it took, Zhou Shu suddenly opened his eyes, and five mountains seemed to fly out of his pupils. Those five mountains towered into the clouds, majestic and majestic. With a bang, they hit the mirror heavily.
Up.
"Boom——"
Zhou Shu felt the ground shaking violently, as if a big earthquake had occurred. For a moment, the ground shook.
