As he pointed his finger in the air, the ground on the sixth peak shook.
The mountains split, revealing endless abyss.
Birds and beasts fled, and smoke filled the air.
"Walk."
He grabbed my shoulders and sank quickly like a boulder falling.
The darkness was bottomless, and my vision was obscured. I could only hear the wind whistling by my ears, and my center of gravity was unstable.
My whole heart was clenched together, I had difficulty breathing, and my internal organs seemed to be squeezed by external forces and the pain was unbearable.
I gritted my teeth, held my breath and concentrated, trying not to scream.
I don’t know how long it took, but the weightless feeling of being “helpless” disappeared. My feet stepped on the hard stone, and a flash of light came into view.
Ji Xuanqing took a long breath, solemnly took out a piece of bright yellow talisman paper and handed it to me: "For the flame talisman, bite your fingertips and smear the blood on it, and it will take effect."
"The talisman will burn slowly and emit enough heat to form a transparent light shield to protect your whole body."
"If the light shield is not broken, the cold air at the bottom of the pool will not be able to enter your body."
"Half an hour, be sure to remember it."
He raised his head and looked ahead, and said in a serious tone: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. If my junior brother falls into madness, you'd better not get into unnecessary entanglements. It's important to save your life."
"You think of him as the third uncle, but he is controlled by the inner demon and doesn't recognize you."
"I hurt you, I hurt you, this is the result..."
Ji Xuanqing didn't say much more about the rest.
He found a raised rock and sat down, calming down and saying, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
I stood there, biting my finger immediately, and smeared the blood evenly on the flame talisman.
"Wow."
The talisman burned in my palm, without any warmth at all.
Soon, there was a crackle all around me, and a wave of air began to gather invisibly.
I can't see or touch it, but I can feel the presence of the light mask strangely.
Twenty meters away, the gate of Demon Killing Pond opened.
They were two square boulders more than ten meters high. They were blood red and looked particularly eerie in the dimly lit cave.
I held the flame talisman in my hand and walked towards the stone door with my scalp numb.
According to Ji Xuanqing's account, after passing through the Tanmen and walking more than 100 meters forward, you will find the center of the deep pool.
The so-called Demon Killing Pond is over there.
I wanted to buy more time for myself, so after arriving at Tanmen, I ran forward without hesitation.
At the same time, I started the timer on my phone,
It's more than 100 meters. If it were placed in the outside world, I would be able to reach it in just a few dozen seconds.
But this time, the road was full of potholes and gravel. In order to prevent myself from falling, I didn't trot very fast.
Just to be on the safe side, I turned on the flashlight on my phone.
About three or four minutes later, I vaguely heard the sound of water flowing.
The smell in the air was terrible. The faint smell of blood was mixed with wisps of pungent smell. It made my brain feel dizzy and my vision was a little blurry.
On the other side, on the transparent light shield produced by the flame talisman, ice and frost solidified from time to time and fell out of thin air.
I rubbed my brows, put my phone in my jeans pocket, and squinted my eyes to look ahead.
More than ten meters away, a "small pond" came into view.
The reason why I use the word "small pond" to describe it is because this deep pool is really not big.
According to my rough rules, it's less than fifty square meters.
The water in the pool is inky black and the surface is shiny.
There are circular ripples spreading out from the center, hitting the rock wall, circulating back and forth, endlessly.
I didn't have the guts to get too close, so I could only stop five or six meters away.
