192 Darkness Under the Lamp
Knowing that this was just a recall of past memories, Zhao Shi regained consciousness, but the scene in front of him gradually became blurred, and he could only see the strange little ghost that was so close to him.
The little ghost was hiding in the dark, observing something furtively.
Zhao Shi concentrated his mind and vaguely saw six figures, four large and two small, standing not far away from the blur and darkness.
It’s my junior sister and the others!
The weird little ghost formed seals with his hands and was about to launch a sneak attack.
We must not let him succeed!
Zhao Shi tried to stop it, but failed to mobilize his spiritual power.
He seemed to be stuck in a painting, unable to move, and couldn't even summon his puppet.
But he didn't give up.
Zhao Shi hooked his fingers with difficulty, and the puppet string composed of his spiritual power penetrated the void, went straight to the strange little ghost, and sank into its body.
Zhao Shi's spiritual consciousness followed these puppet strings into the little ghost's body. Just as he was about to transform him into his own puppet, he suddenly felt a pain in his head. His spiritual consciousness that had entered the little ghost's body was forcibly erased by the other party.
The little ghost turned around, stared at Zhao Shi coldly, and gave a strange smile: "You came to me on your own, so come with me!"
He grabbed the invisible thread wrapped around his body and pulled hard.
Zhao Shi only felt a sharp pain in his soul, as if his whole body was about to break apart.
"Fourth Senior Brother!" Jiang Xin's voice suddenly rang out, dispelling the darkness brought by the little ghost.
Zhao Shi felt his shattered soul being stitched together again and the pain subsided. When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the team, with his fellow brothers and sisters by his side.
Jiang Xin hugged his legs tightly, looked towards a place angrily, and shouted loudly: "My fourth brother will not go with you!"
Everyone followed her gaze and saw nothing.
These darknesses can block spiritual consciousness. No one knows what is hidden in the darkness, but everyone becomes alert because of Jiang Xin's words.
Zhao Shi endured the severe pain on his cheek and said in a hoarse voice: "There is a little devil watching us. He was the one who attacked me here that year."
Zhao Shi hadn't recalled many more memories yet. Even now, thinking back, it was unbelievable that a six-year-old child who hadn't practiced yet could escape from the hands of this weird little devil.
Chu Linfeng wanted to draw his sword, but was afraid of accidentally hurting his own people in the dark, so he complained quietly: "It's too dark, I can't even distinguish the source of the sound. It would be better if I could see the situation around me."
Lin Yan has tried various lighting methods just now, and the effects are similar. It is difficult to bring light to this world.
Jiang Xiao suddenly said: "Fourth Senior Brother, take out that stone."
He was referring to the black stone that was the size of a walnut, had a bumpy surface, and looked lifeless.
Although he didn't know what this thing was, Zhao Shi believed in the judgment of his junior brother, a demon lord in the Mahayana stage.
He took out the black stone, but it showed no reaction.
Zhao Shi tentatively injected spiritual power into it. The black stone vibrated slightly in his palm, and Zhao Shi's soul had the urge to dissolve for a moment.
He heard the rustling of grass leaves as the breeze blew through the grass, felt the soft sound of night dew dripping onto the ground, the chirping of cicadas and frogs mingling into a song, and vaguely the sound of children playing.
A peaceful village appeared in Zhaoshi's mind, with a bright moon and sparse stars. The moonlight gently sprinkled on the earth, coating the whole world with a layer of silver-white glow.
Zhao Shi's body felt like it was soaking in warm water. His consciousness gradually relaxed, and he wanted to merge into one with the moonlight that filled the world.
"Fourth senior brother, don't go." Jiang Xin's voice brought him back to consciousness, and the impulse that his soul was about to dissolve was forcibly dispelled. Zhao Shi came back to his senses and lowered his head, and saw the little guy hugging his legs tightly, looking at him with worry.
Zhao Shi was stunned for a moment, and an indescribable sense of weirdness surged in his heart.
The hallucinations just now were too real, as if he had really been in that place before.
"What kind of stone is this? It's so bright?" Chu Linfeng's voice interrupted his thoughts. Zhao Shi then realized that he could see Jiang Xin's face clearly because the stone in his hand was emitting a faint silver-white light.
This gentle light was just like the moonlight he had just seen in the illusion.
Chu Linfeng was asking Jiang Xiao, but Jiang Xiao couldn't answer: "I don't know, I just feel that there is a connection between this stone and Fourth Senior Brother."
The Mahayana Demon Lord could not read after losing his memory, and it was good enough that he still had some instincts of a high-level cultivator.
Fortunately, there was Jiang Xin who knew a little more than him: "This is a moonstone. It can emit moonlight like the moon and penetrate the abnormal darkness."
Wu Xin's eyes were injured and he couldn't see the outside world. He could only reach out his hand to carefully sense the changed spiritual energy around him. He was amazed: "The spiritual energy around is no longer as dead as before. There is a hint of vitality. The moonstone actually exists."
Lin Yan found it hard to understand: "Such a precious thing is right under the noses of the Qiao family, and they didn't find it?"
“The servants of the Qiao family who went to the courtyard to loot didn’t have high cultivation levels, so they probably didn’t know the value of the treasure. This treasure is very valuable. I heard that it is only found in the secret realm of the Moon Clan.” Chu Linfeng poked the moonstone in Zhao Shi’s hand happily, feeling happy for him.
Qiao Yuan had been to the Moon Clan's secret realm, so it was not surprising that she was able to obtain the Moonstone.
However, no one understands the origin of the moonstone to this day, and some even suspect that it was transformed from the corpses of the long-extinct Moon Clan.
This stone is like the moon hanging in the sky held in someone's hand, emitting a warm silvery light and dispelling the thick and strange black color around it.
Without these strange things, everyone present was a monk, and they all had good night vision, so they could see the surrounding situation clearly for the first time.
It's a desolate place here and it seems like there's nothing there.
Underfoot was an uneven ground, but there was no grass, no rocks, or soil on it, and it was impossible to tell what its components were.
Chu Linfeng stepped on the ground curiously and felt it was slightly soft and slippery. He muttered, "It feels like pig skin."
Zhao Shi recalled the strange perspective switch he had just experienced, and got some inspiration from Chu Linfeng's words. He vaguely guessed what the ground beneath his feet was, but he didn't know how to describe it for a moment.
They should not be in a separate world, but in something.
Lin Yan looked at the Bagua plate that was constantly spinning in his hand and ordered, "Fourth Junior Brother, increase the range of the moonstone."
Zhao Shi injected more spiritual power into the moonstone, and the moonlight spread in all directions. A black shadow flashed from the edge of the moonlight.
Chu Linfeng's reaction speed was first-rate. The long sword on his back flew out and he immediately rushed towards the black shadow.
The black shadow was very fast and dodged nimbly.
Chu Linfeng untied the rope and rushed forward, fighting with the black shadow with sword in hand.
The faint light brought by the moonstone eliminated the obstacles to the spiritual consciousness within the range of the moonlight. Wu Xin quickly untied the ropes on his body and stepped forward with a long stick to help: "The sea of suffering is boundless, and salvation is the best."
“Gen represents mountain.” On the Bagua plate in Lin Yan’s hand, the Gen Gua lit up, and a mountain cage rose from the ground, blocking the black shadow that wanted to escape.
Zhao Shi's fingers flew, and the puppet string composed of refined spiritual energy entangled the black shadow, successfully slowing down its movement speed.
Chu Linfeng pierced through the dark armor surrounding the shadow with his sword, and a look of joy appeared on his face: "Let me see what you are, you little idiot - Fourth Brother?"
After seeing the little ghost's face clearly, Chu Linfeng's unfinished words turned into a scream and he froze in place.
