Wu Nan's words gave Lin Ji a wake-up call, but also made Lin Ji increasingly worried.
It would be okay if he was just dragged back.
But if everything in front of him is an illusion, are Wu Nan and Zhong Xiaoyan real? Is he still out of trouble now in the illusion? If he is in the environment, is his body still in the same place, or has he already suffered?
Lin Ji didn't dare to think about it any more.
"Wu Nan, how did you and I meet?"
Wu Nan was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.
"The young monk took advantage of the donor's food."
"Why bother with food?"
"I want to take advantage of the benefactor's blessing."
Lin Ji nodded slightly and looked at Zhong Xiaoyan again.
Zhong Xiaoyan is not stupid either. The conversation between Lin Ji and Wu Nan has already made her understand her current situation.
Before Lin Ji could speak, she took the lead and asked, "What is that monster on the edge of the Liang River?"
"Pig Dragon."
"What was the weather like?"
"It's raining."
"What rain?"
"Poisonous rain." Before Zhong Xiaoyan could ask any more questions, Lin Ji said in one breath, "Poisonous rain was transformed by Pigron's innate magical power. I saved you and Ling'er, took shelter from the rain in the cave, and roasted a rabbit for you.
"
Zhong Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief.
"It should be true."
Lin Ji gave a helpless smile and couldn't help but rub Zhong Xiaoyan's head and mess up her hair.
"Don't touch the girl's hair casually, you scoundrel."
"In my eyes, you are just a little girl." Lin Ji shook his head categorically, "I am not a slut, nor have I ever said anything frivolous such as being too pink."
These are just two nonsense sentences made by Lin Ji, which are completely opposite to each other.
But Zhong Xiaoyan knew this and didn't know why. She just stared at Lin Ji angrily without refuting.
Lin Ji felt funny in his heart and didn't explain it.
On the contrary, a few words of bickering with Zhong Xiaoyan made him relax a lot.
"Let's go, go out again and see if you can be pulled back." Lin Jidang walked out first.
Zhong Xiaoyan and Wu Nan quickly followed.
But just two steps out, Lin Ji suddenly changed his expression and turned around.
"I can't detect ghost energy anymore."
"How is that possible?" Zhong Xiaoyan asked unexpectedly.
Wu Nan also frowned.
"Has this ghost realm changed again? Before, Miss Zhong and I couldn't detect it with our spiritual eyes, and now even with Donor Lin's fourth-level cultivation, we can't detect it. Is this ghost realm getting stronger?"
"No matter how powerful the ghost realm is, the ghost energy should not be so strange. I have personally experienced the ghost king's ghost realm in the seventh realm, and the ghost king's ghost realm is not as weird as this one."
Lin Ji was in the Ghost King City at the time, but he clearly felt the overwhelming ghost energy, so much so that he had to use his spiritual energy all the time to resist it.
But at this moment, the situation here is completely opposite to that of Ghost King City, and even weirder.
"What should we do now?" Zhong Xiaoyan asked.
Lin Ji looked at Wu Nan.
"Wu Nan, you will lead the way."
Zhong Xiaoyan was a little confused, but she didn't ask any questions.
She knew that Lin Ji would not take aim without aim.
Wu Nan did not refuse and walked at the front. After taking two steps, he closed his eyes again.
Gradually, the three of them walked farther and farther away.
Not long after, they saw the bright edge of the ghost realm in the distance.
But just as they were about to leave, a voice suddenly sounded next to them.
"There's no need to try, you can't get out."
The three of them looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Behind a tree, a middle-aged monk in his early forties looked at them expressionlessly.
"Who are you?" Lin Ji stopped in front of Zhong Xiaoyan and Wu Nan.
"Tiangongfang, Liu Shiming."
"Tiangongfang?" Lin Ji had never heard of this name.
Zhong Xiaoyan explained: "It is a sect in Xiangzhou. It is famous for refining weapons. It also inherits the art of mechanism and is somewhat famous."
"Brother, are you not from Xiangzhou?" Liu Shiming asked in surprise.
Lin Ji was too lazy to answer and asked directly: "Brother Liu knows that this place is weird? Can you tell me?"
Liu Shiming nodded and said: "I don't know much, but judging from the situation that I have been trapped in for the past few days, this place should be a strange place formed by some kind of formation. I have to break the formation before I can escape." ."
"Array? What array will be filled with ghost energy like a ghost realm?"
Hearing Lin Ji's words, Liu Shiming was obviously a little surprised.
"Can you detect the ghostly energy here?"
Lin Ji felt himself being swept by his spiritual consciousness.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Shiming said in surprise: "In the late stage of the fourth realm, the soul has already taken shape... No wonder, he is half a night wandering monk."
"Brother Liu, are you traveling at night?"
"So what if you are traveling at night? Are you still trapped in this hellish place?" Liu Shiming shook his head helplessly.
"I got separated from my two friends who were traveling with me. I waited here for three days without seeing them. I tried to leave but always returned to the same place. I was often harassed by ghosts."
Lin Ji pondered for a moment and then asked: "Brother Liu, are you sure this is a formation?"
"Of course I'm sure. Although I don't practice formations, my Tiangong Pavilion also has the inheritance of formations. I've been exposed to them all day long, so I have some knowledge."
"Since it's a formation, you can break the formation by finding its eye." Lin Ji let out a long sigh, finally getting some clues.
"Oh, if only it were that simple. This ghost realm formation is so weird that even if people from the formation Dao Sect come, they won't be able to break it."
"You have to try it after all."
Lin Ji bowed his hands to Liu Shiming, and then returned to the forest with Wu Nan and Zhong Xiaoyan.
Wu Nan's talent came in handy, but precisely because of this, he didn't want Wu Nan's talent to be exposed to outsiders.
It's not that he's greedy, it's just that he's afraid of being exposed and causing trouble for Wu Nan.
After confirming that Liu Shiming had not followed, Lin Jizhen bowed towards Wu Nan with a clasped fist and a serious attitude.
"Master Wu Nan, the next step depends on you."
Wu Nan didn't care whether Lin Ji gave him a top hat, he just nodded indifferently, and of course walked in the front without giving up.
What he was thinking about before was getting out of this ghost realm, but now he was thinking about finding the center of this formation.
This time, Wu Nan took a completely different direction than before.
Lin Ji and Zhong Xiaoyan followed behind.
The three of them kept walking in circles in the forest, passing by familiar places several times.
But the three of them kept silent and just moved forward without any hesitation or hesitation.
After walking for a while, a puddle appeared in front of us.
But just when Wu Nan closed his eyes and continued to move forward, Lin Ji suddenly pressed his shoulders.
As soon as Wu Nan turned around, he saw Lin Ji's eyes widened and his fingers on his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Wu Nan nodded quickly, then looked back to the front.
Not far ahead, next to the water pool, there was a ghostly shadow floating above the water pool.
The ghost was motionless, but just appearing in front of Lin Ji and the others made them feel extreme fear.
This is a fear without reason. I can’t tell the reason, I don’t know the reason, but I can’t help but be afraid.
"What the hell is that?" Zhong Xiaoyan tried her best to lower her voice.
"I don't know." Lin Ji shook his head slightly.
But at this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded in the other direction of the three of them.
Then, two monks wearing the same clothes as Liu Shiming appeared.
Unfortunately, the direction in which the two people appeared happened to be the direction the ghost was facing.
When they looked at the ghost, the ghost turned slightly and looked at them.
The moment their eyes met.
The heads of the two monks fell to the ground in vain.
But at this moment.
Before Lin Ji and others could react, the ghost figure who had his back turned to them suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of Lin Ji and others!
