Qianniang is getting older, and so is Xu Zhiqiong.
Xu Zhiqiong panicked for a moment, just for a moment.
He quickly saw the whole story clearly and continued rushing down the mountain with Qianniang on his back.
As he got older, his legs and feet became inflexible. After not running very far, Xu Zhiqiong's back felt numb and the soles of his feet became sore.
None of this mattered. Xu Zhiqiong found that the mountain road turned again, and the big tree appeared again on the roadside.
There are still scarred knife marks on the big tree. The knife marks have become rougher and more blurred, and they are older than before.
This is not important. What is important is to stay away from the woodcutter and stay away from the woodcutter's wife.
Xu Zhiqiong put Qianniang down and touched Chang Shiyin on his waist with his hand, and Chang Shiyin felt something.
He tried making the key to open the door again, but it didn't work.
He didn't want to abandon Qianniang and run away, he just wanted to do an experiment.
Through experiments, he realized that his guess was correct.
"Analyze salary, analyze salary, hold an ax to break salary..."
"Chong the grain to pound the grain, and pound the grain to make cooking..."
The singing of the woodcutter and his wife came from far and near, and both of them were approaching Xu Zhiqiong.
Xu Zhiqiong was not in a hurry to escape. He knew that no matter where he fled, he would meet the woodcutter or the woodcutter's wife.
Xu Zhiqiong believed that he could not defeat the woodcutter, but the woodcutter's skills were not impossible to crack.
Xu Zhiqiong mobilized the power of imagery and first used the simulated listening technique to close his hearing so that he would no longer be disturbed by the singing.
Then he closed his eyes and let the power of imagery extend through his meridians, smoothing out the chaotic energy in the meridians one by one.
When he opened his eyes and looked again, the lush vegetation had disappeared, leaving only a dark barren mountain.
The barren mountain was not empty. Xu Zhiqiong saw dense attachments on the rocks.
Barnacles, shells, seaweed...
The thought flashed past, and Xu Zhiqiong looked around. The east and west lines stretched endlessly.
It is surrounded by the sea to the north and blocked by mountain peaks to the south. It is not yet known what the situation is.
He was halfway up the mountain. There were no stone paths at his feet, only dark rocks.
Xu Zhiqiong stepped on the slippery rocks and rushed down the hillside. Suddenly, the woodcutter appeared in front of him.
The woodcutter was older than before, with no flesh and blood left on his face, leaving only the skin sticking to the bones, like a mummy crawling out of a coffin.
He sang to Xu Zhiqiong. Xu Zhiqiong closed his hearing and could not hear his singing, and continued to escape around the woodcutter.
Not far away, the old man appeared in front of Xu Zhiqiong again. This time, he smiled at Xu Zhiqiong.
The moment he saw him laughing, the vegetation on the barren mountain that was originally barren became lush again. Xu Zhiqiong lowered his head and saw that there was another stone path leading to the bottom of the mountain.
I fell for his trick again!
I can't look at his smile, not even a glance!
Xu Zhiqiong averted his eyes and continued running wildly. After not long running, the figure of the woodcutter appeared in front of him.
Xu Zhiqiong lowered his head and tried to go around without looking at the woodcutter's face.
The woodcutter moved back and forth, always standing in front of Xu Zhiqiong.
Xu Zhiqiong looked at the woodcutter's footsteps, and suddenly a human face appeared on the woodcutter's shoes, with five hooks on his face, smiling at Xu Zhiqiong.
Can shoes also smile at me?
This smile didn't matter, Xu Zhiqiong felt that he was getting a little older. He didn't care about the heavy burden on his back, and was almost crushed by Qian Niang on his shoulders.
I didn’t even look at my feet!
Xu Zhiqiong did not look at the woodcutter himself, but only looked at the woodcutter's figure, using this to judge the woodcutter's movement trajectory and avoid him.
Under the moonlight, white spots appeared on the figure of the woodcutter.
What method is this?
His figure suddenly transformed into a disk with five circular white spots on it.
The white spots slowly deformed on the disk, first elongating into an oval, and then upturned on both sides and turning into curved hooks.
The five curved hooks rearranged and instantly turned into a smiling face.
Click, click!
Xu Zhiqiong's joints cracked continuously.
Seeing this smiling face, Xu Zhiqiong felt that he had aged a lot and his skeleton could no longer support his body.
He turned his face away.
Smiling faces appeared on the leaves of the big tree nearby.
He looked away and looked at the tree trunk.
Smiling faces appeared on the mottled bark.
He moved his gaze to a distance, and the dense vegetation rearranged itself, forming another strange smiling face.
Every time he looks at a smiling face, the aging process worsens. If this continues, if Xu Zhiqiong looks at the scenery for a while longer, he will probably be buried.
Can't I see it anywhere?
If you don’t want to watch it, don’t watch it!
Xu Zhiqiong closed his eyes.
He allowed the power of imagery to turn into countless filaments and wrap around his body.
A part of the filaments extended around to help him find his way.
The woodcutter was still standing in front of Xu Zhiqiong. How could he get around him?
No longer around, Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward and kicked him to the ground.
The old man fell to the ground, and Xu Zhiqiong's right foot disappeared.
Why are your legs gone?
It doesn't matter if you don't have any legs, it doesn't matter, you can still run with one leg.
The white-haired Xu Zhiqiong carried Qianniang on his shoulders and jumped down the hillside. Through the power of imagery, Xu Zhiqiong sensed that the woodcutter did not catch up, and he slowly opened his eyes.
There were dark rocks in front of him. As for what the barren mountains behind him looked like, Xu Zhiqiong did not dare to look back.
He hugged Qianniang and rushed to the shore. A huge wave hit him, and a huge sea turtle flew out of the waves.
The turtle landed in front of Xu Zhiqiong, with his eyes bent down and the corners of his mouth turned up, forming a sincere smile with only three curves.
Because turtles don’t have eyebrows, they don’t have five curves.
Do three turns also count?
Count!
Seeing this smiling face, the sea water in front of me disappeared and turned into a wilderness again.
As smoke rose from the wilderness, Xu Zhiqiong heard an old woman singing:
"Chong the grain to pound the grain, and pound the grain to make cooking..."
The turtle is still in front of me, but it has become a tortoise.
Xu Zhiqiong wanted to kick the tortoise, but he only had one foot left and could not kick it hard enough, so he gave up the idea for the time being.
He carried Qian Niang and continued to escape with one foot.
This time, he not only closed his eyes, but also used the eye-closing technique to block his vision.
Relying entirely on the perception of the power of imagery, he ran down the barren mountain and ran to the seaside. He was about to jump into the sea when he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
He felt a wave of heat.
Through groping and touching, the power of imagery constructed a picture in his mind. The originally cold sea water suddenly turned into hot molten iron.
Is this true or false?
It doesn't matter whether it's true or false. What's important is that it's not an illusion. If Xu Zhiqiong really jumped in, even if he had a third-grade physique, he would be seriously injured by the molten iron.
Lin Qianniang, who was in poor condition, was likely to die.
Xu Zhiqiong was jumping wildly along the shoreline, but he didn't believe that all the sea areas around the shoreline had turned into molten iron.
He guessed right, not all the sea area turned into molten iron, only a small area of the sea turned into molten iron.
But this sea area has been following Xu Zhiqiong. Wherever Xu Zhiqiong jumped, this sea area followed him.
Just as he was thinking about his escape route, he unexpectedly caught up with the woodcutter again.
The power of imagery touched the woodcutter, and his appearance appeared again in his mind.
First there was the blurry figure, then the clear outline, then the clothes and hair and skin, then the facial features...
etc!
It couldn't be any clearer.
I want to see that smiling face again!
What's going on? The power of imagery can't be stopped!
Xu Zhiqiong felt that the other person's expression became clearer and clearer in his mind.
Not only was his expression clear, Xu Zhiqiong also vaguely heard the singing: "Chong the grain to pound the grain, and pound the grain to make cooking..."
I used the listening technique to block my hearing, but I can still hear the singing?
Did this song sneak in through the power of imagery?
Where did it sneak in?
Could it be that he has entered my soul?
"Who is this? Singing endlessly and preventing people from sleeping! What the hell is this..."
Qiongqi was woken up and was about to get angry. After listening to the singing carefully, he carefully asked: "Here, who is singing so beautifully?"
Xu Zhiqiong didn't know what to say: "Do you still care whether this song is good or not?"
"This matter needs to be taken care of. Who in this world can sing so well?" Qiongqi said very rudely, "You, you need to get this singing voice out first. Use all kinds of natural methods. You must have it."
Find a way to get it out, if you listen to it a few more times, it’s hard to say what you will become!”
"I also wanted to get the singing voice out, but the singer was chasing her so hard that I didn't even have a chance to do it."
"You run away to a hidden place. This guy's perception is not good and his skills are not flexible. The more hidden the place is, the harder it is for him to find it. Let's get this singing voice out first. Let's find a way together."
Poor perception.
Handicapped.
"Aqiong, you know the person chasing me very well."
"I'll talk about this later. Run faster!"
"How fast can you run with just one leg! Moreover, this place is full of traps left by him. I don't know where to hide. I might as well find a way out of here!"
"Don't be forceful! You can also see what he is capable of. The more you try to confront him forcefully, the harder it will be for you to escape.
Although he has great traps, he is not a careful person, there are always places that he cannot take care of, and you can always find a hiding place."
Xu Zhiqiong jumped along the coast for a long time and suddenly sensed a cave next to it.
Is this a hiding place?
Regardless of whether it counts or not, let’s try it first and then say.
Xu Zhiqiong carried Qian Niang and got into the cave.
The cave was very deep, and the road was narrow and rugged. Xu Zhiqiong relied on his agility to jump around in the cave, and his figure quickly disappeared.
The woodcutter chased in. At first he was chasing fast, but when he got deeper into the cave, he gradually slowed down.
There were many forked roads in the cave, and he could not see Xu Zhiqiong's figure, and there were no traces of Xu Zhiqiong left on the rocks.
But there was one thing that Xu Zhiqiong couldn't hide. His footsteps were very obvious and kept echoing in the cave.
There was nothing he could do about it. Xu Zhiqiong jumped on one foot, and he couldn't cover up the sound of footsteps. The woodcutter followed the footsteps and chased him until he reached a dead end.
The cave came to an end here, and Xu Zhiqiong did get into the cave, but the woodcutter could not find any trace of Xu Zhiqiong.
"Hidden by magic?" The old woodcutter looked around and murmured to himself.
His eyebrows and eyes were curved, the corners of his mouth were turned up, and he showed a smile with five curves. His appearance turned into that of an old lady, and then he said to himself:
"Going to Two Worlds State? That woman will die if she goes to Two Worlds State. He is such a cruel person!"
The old lady's face showed her iconic five-crossed smile, and then she shook her head and transformed into a young girl.
"That woman should be his beloved. Judging from the way he dotes on her, he will definitely not risk her life. If we look again, he should still be here."
The woodcutter's body, holding the girl's face, left the cave.
In the corner of the cave, a painting scroll was stuffed into a stone crevice, and the stone crevice was covered with Xu Zhiqiong's unique illusion technique.
