With each having their own thoughts, the three of them discussed several plans and finally decided to enter the deepest part of the illusion.
One is that time is limited, and the other is that the three of them working together are indeed much better than ordinary immortals. Even if the "Cloud God" is really a descendant of the gods, they still have the ability to protect themselves, so they should give it a try.
So the three of them passed through the main mandala of the Baiyun Sect and arrived at the entrance of the mountain.
This is a valley. Looking around, the valley is filled with wind and snow, like a snowfield with no end in sight.
However, just when the three of them were about to enter the valley, a person walked out of the wind and snow in the valley, which delayed the three of them for half a day.
There is nothing unusual about this. There are always people from Xiangtang from all over the country who go to the mountains to meet the "Yun God". After being enlightened by the "Yun God", they walk out of the mountains. After they have completed their cultivation, they return.
Deep in the mountains, it is gone forever.
But this person is a man.
What's weird about men?
Of course it's not surprising.
But a pregnant man is very strange.
According to what this man said afterwards, he and his companions went to the mountains to worship the "Cloud God". When they came back, they did not follow the team and got lost in the mountains. They walked out of the mountains several days later than others, just in time to meet the plan.
Qi Xuansu and his party entered the mountain.
At this time, the man was listless and his belly was bulging.
It’s not surprising that the man has a belly, but it’s not that big, and it’s even a little difficult to move. The three of them are all well-educated, and they felt that this man’s aura was different, so they took a look. It didn’t matter at first glance, and they could see the clues, this man
The breath was chaotic, the yin and yang were confused, as if he had practiced the "Yin and Yang Reunification Technique", and when he took a closer look, he found that he was actually pregnant.
This is a strange thing.
The physiological structures of men and women are completely different. When a man is pregnant, where is the child? Is it in his stomach?
It is true that there are some born intersex people in this world, people who possess the characteristics of both men and women at the same time, but there is no such person in a million.
This aroused Zhou Mengyao's interest, and she simply used her immortal powers to take a thorough look at the man, and found that this man had neither the organs of a woman nor the child in his stomach, let alone in his intestines.
The child is in this man's flesh and blood, as if embedded in it.
It feels as if the mother's body is just a piece of clothing, an empty shell, while the "child" inside continues to grow, and will eventually fill the body completely from the inside out, replace the mother's body, wear the mother's skin, and become a brand new child.
of independent individuals.
what is this?
Could this be the enlightenment of "Cloud God"?
This inevitably reminds people of the method of "seeking demons from Taoist fetuses", which Zhou Mengyao knows. However, compared to "seeking demons from Taoist fetuses", this method is more crude, and it also reminds Qi Xuansu of the bugs of the Insect Man.
.
There really is nothing new. The methods of these gods will eventually have a high degree of convergence.
As for why other people who worshiped the "Cloud God" did not show this abnormality and looked just like normal people, it should be related to this person's lagging behind. It may be some special reason that activated the "fetus" in his body in advance.
This incident caused quite a shock in the Baiyun Sect.
After several discussions, the leader decided to perform a cesarean section to remove the child.
As a result, Qi Xuansu and the others waited for half a day longer.
The whole process was very strange. When the people from the Baiyun Sect opened the man's belly, they found that due to the rapid growth of the fetus, the man's chest and pelvis had been completely deformed. And it was hard to tell what the fetus was. It didn't look like it anyway.
It's a human fetus.
Zhou Mengyao took action and destroyed this very terrifying fetus.
Su Yuanzai took action to temporarily save this man's life.
After the people from the Baiyun Sect dug out the strange fetus from his belly, they questioned the person in detail. Then they found almost nothing. The person was already unconscious. According to his confusing and unclear statement, he was there
He saw something when he was lost in the mountains, and it was this thing that caused the development, or mutation, of the fetus in his body.
It can be inferred from this that other people who went to the mountain to worship probably also had seeds, but they just did not develop. Even if they did develop, they might not become pregnant.
The key is what did this person see in the mountains?
have no idea.
Zhou Mengyao wanted to try soul searching, but this person's soul had been shattered into pieces. It seemed that it had become completely blank due to strong stimulation and excessive fright, leaving only some confusing and indistinguishable fragments, like a pot of porridge.
Soon, the man's vitality began to decline rapidly, and he also entered the stage of returning to the light. He first prayed to the "Cloud God", and then shouted to the Wusheng Old Mother and Vacuum Hometown, asking the Wusheng Old Mother to lead him to Vacuum's Hometown to obtain salvation.
He aged rapidly, becoming like a centenarian in the blink of an eye, as if all his vitality and energy had disappeared with the fetus.
In a sense, this was a god that could not be saved, so Zhou Mengyao had no choice but to give up. Su Yuanzai had the habit of taking notes and wrote down this matter.
Qi Xuansu even felt that it was a bit unlucky. If the three of them had their own shortcomings, wouldn't this note become their last clue for others to follow?
This episode cast an ominous haze over the next actions of the three.
But even so, the three of them still set foot on the road into the mountain.
No one knows what is in the mountains, because the entire mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and only one peak can be seen protruding from the sea of clouds, looking like an isolated island.
This road into the mountain is also very mysterious. When you look at it from the outside, it is just a valley inside, with the ground covered with white snow and white clouds and mist above. But after you actually enter it, it is not the same thing. The so-called Naxu
Shrouded in mustard seeds, this place is completely a vast white snowfield, so vast that you can’t see the edge or end.
The wind and snow howled, blocking the view.
However, there is a sky lantern every mile or so, which appears and disappears in the wind and snow, guiding the people who come to the mountain to worship.
Su Yuanzai reminded: "We have now entered the scope of the 'Taixu Illusion Realm'."
Zhou Mengyao had no expression. Qi Xuansu was a little worried, but didn't say anything.
The three of them embarked on their journey and followed the guidance of the sky lantern towards the depths of the snowfield. Although the three of them did not fly, they walked extremely fast, even faster than a horse galloping at full speed. After walking like this for half an hour, the surroundings were still boundless.
White, not to mention the edges, not even some rugged terrain, just the same.
There is snow under your feet, clouds and mist above your head, and a cold wind blowing in your face, chilling your soul.
After all, it is the cave left by the immortals of the Second Tribulation. It should not be underestimated, even the immortals and pseudo-immortals are no exception. Moreover, the ancient heaven is closely connected with the ancient witchcraft, and they are best at some weird things. When you think of a man giving birth to a child,
No wonder Su Yuanzai was so afraid of the weird fetus that didn't look like a human.
Fortunately, this place is only a peripheral area. Su Yuanzai has been here several times and is quite familiar with this place.
According to what he said, he deviated from the road several times to explore the snowfield here. He discovered a palace of the King of Chu, from which he obtained the elixir refined by Wu Yang and the divination tortoise shell left by Wu Yang.
This made Qi Xuansu's heart move. Long Xiaobai's dragon nest was rebuilt from King Chu's palace. There was a Wuyang totem in it. Is there a similar palace here?
Did Yun Zhongjun include part of Yunmengze into his kingdom?
Or did the King of Chu build his palace in Yun Zhongjun’s cave?
Su Yuanzai just listened to what he meant, and he had already taken away everything in the palace of King Chu. Qi Xuansu also asked specifically: "The trend of witchcraft and blessing was prevalent during the King of Chu's period, which was when the ancient witchcraft was at its peak. In the palace,
Are there such things as witchcraft totems?"
Su Yuanzai gave an affirmative answer: "There is no totem."
Qi Xuansu was a little disappointed. If Su Yuanzai did not lie, it means that different palaces of King Chu have different functions, similar to the distinction between study rooms and bedrooms.
After walking like this for another hour, Zhou Mengyao suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, Qi Xuansu and Su Yuanzai, whose cultivation levels were weaker than Zhou Mengyao's, also sensed something one after another and also stopped.
I saw the fog in front of me begin to gather, forming a mirage, and eventually turned into the shape of a giant human face.
It's just that this face looks extremely distorted compared to ordinary faces.
At first glance, he looks like an obese person, or someone who has been deformed by water.
Friends who often kill people know that about five to ten days after a person dies, when the corpse has not been embalmed, the corpse changes from decay to high degree of decay, producing a large amount of putrid corpse gas, filling the whole body, causing the entire corpse to swell into a
giant.
At this time, the face is extremely swollen, the eyeballs protrude, the lips become thick and everted, the tip of the tongue protrudes, the abdomen is bulging, the abdominal wall is tense, the skin is dirty green, the corrupt meridians are visible, the subcutaneous blood and flesh are emphysema-like, the limbs are thickened, and some hands
The skin on the body and feet can peel off in the shape of gloves and socks, and the entire body swells up to become a giant, making it difficult to recognize its appearance during life.
This human face is like this, and it also has something like a beard. If you look closely, you can see that it is actually a tentacle-like thing.
Such a human face has been magnified again, spreading over half of the sky like a god or demon.
Ordinary people would go completely crazy when seeing this scene.
Fortunately, the three of them are all highly cultivated and well-informed people, so it's not a big deal.
Su Yuanzai's face was solemn: "When I came here before, I never encountered such changes, including the pregnancy of men."
Zhou Mengyao said thoughtfully: "There is no wind without waves. The 'Taixu Illusion' seems to have been 'stimulated' by something, just like a stone falling into water will inevitably cause ripples."
Qi Xuansu added: "We haven't seen anyone from the 'inn' yet."
These words reminded the other two people. Su Yuanzai asked: "Could it be that the 'keeper' of the 'inn' came here one step ahead and caused all kinds of changes?"
Zhou Mengyao said: "He is the only one who is the inheritor of Wu Zhu, so this possibility cannot be ruled out. I just don't know whether the subsequent impact of the variables will be good or bad."
In fact, Qi Xuansu still hasn't said a word. Except for the "shopkeeper" of the "inn", he has not seen Long Xiaobai yet.
Is there a possibility that it's not that Long Xiaobai and the "shopkeeper" arrived late, but that they arrived here earlier? Or, they were directly teleported here, or even deeper, causing a series of variables.
Zhou Mengyao looked at the faces all over the sky again, and seemed to think of something: "Extraterrestrial demon?"
