Chapter 36: The Weeping Forest
Gu Shihan did not dare to be careless. He wielded his sword and many plants that had transformed into monsters were chopped down. However, these plants were not afraid of death. When one fell, more appeared in an endless stream.
Gu Shihan killed his way over, "Hey! There's someone!"
Xing Bai rushed over quickly. The bodies of the three fallen monks were still warm. "Hanhan, they are not dead yet. But if they continue like this, they will lose their blood and essence and die. Do you want to save them?"
"Save them!" Gu Shihan took out a Qiankun House, dripped blood to recognize the master, and took the three people in.
This Qiankun House is one of the gifts given by Venerable Miaoyin. With it, saving people becomes much easier.
After walking about a hundred feet further, Gu Shihan found three dead monks beside a large rock. There were no signs of fighting around them.
The monk's face was grayish green, and he had no magical storage devices on him. It was obvious that he had been dead for a long time.
Gu Shihan swung his sword, cut off a piece of rock, buried the three bodies, and turned away.
"Hanhan...those three people gave me a bad impression!"
"What's wrong with it?" Gu Shihan was stunned for a moment and asked.
"It's just an extremely uncomfortable and incongruous feeling. Should we...should we take another look?"
Gu Shihan stopped and turned around quickly. The three bodies were lying there again?
"What's going on?!" Gu Shihan's face
The color has changed, it was clearly just buried...
"Ding!" Gu Shihan slashed the sword in his hand towards the rocks again, "Let's go! This might be an illusion!"
There was a voice in Gu Shihan's heart urging her to leave quickly, so she followed her heart and retreated cautiously, walking about ten feet away.
Out of the corner of her eye, the three corpses appeared in front of her again. Apart from the change of location, nothing else seemed to have changed.
"Xingbai, is this a wronged spirit? A ghost? Or... an illusion?"
"Hanhan, I don't know. I don't know about the situation. I feel like I'm being targeted by something." Xingbai said with a lack of confidence.
"Xingbai, do you know the Ghost Weeping Forest? Are we entering the Ghost Weeping Forest?"
Xing Bai thought for a moment and said, "It's possible! There is a record on the jade slip I bought last time that the Ghost Crying Forest has a positive side and a negative side.
The Ghost Forest under normal circumstances is the sunny side mentioned in records. The sunny side is similar to other places, except that the yin energy is stronger.
But it also has a dark side. The dark and bright sides of the Ghost Forest switch every three months, and the dark side can last for nine days and nine nights each time.
When an experienced monk mistakenly enters the Ghost Forest, he will find a place to hide. Of course, those who can hide must have a treasure that can restrain ghosts and spirits.
The three corpses we encountered should be the three guides to the dark side of the Ghost Weeping Forest. Anyone who sees them will not have a good result unless they have special means. No matter how hard you try, there will be no chance for them to get out of the dark side of the Ghost Weeping Forest."
"Xingbai, you mean he's targeting us? This is not good news. I have to go save people!" Gu Shihan took out his wine gourd, took a sip, hung it casually around his waist, and turned around to move forward, avoiding the corpse.
Gu Shihan did not dare to be careless and mobilized the wood flame in his body to protect himself and the little white fox.
Any evil object is somewhat afraid of fire. The Red Lotus Karma Fire is his trump card, and it is not the time to release it yet.
"Hanhan, are you still thinking about saving people?" Xingbai asked.
"Can you not save me? Don't worry, with you and me, even if things get bad, it shouldn't be a problem for us to get out of this unscathed. Big risks always represent big opportunities.
Since my life is safe, why should I retreat? Isn't cultivating immortality just about changing fate?
The sky finally brightened up, and the quiet Ghost Forest was dyed red under the glow of the sky. It seemed that the gloomy energy was much lessened, but it became even more eerie.
"What the hell? What's going on?" A noisy sound came from far away and got closer. Is there someone there?
Gu Shihan didn't care about anything else and quickly walked towards the direction of the sound.
There were three men and two women not far away, and then I heard a woman's voice saying, "Isn't I at the inn? Why are you here? I want to go home!"
"Go home! It's too weird here, let's go home!" The man's voice came.
The rustling footsteps faded away. "No, this is totally wrong!"
The five people turned around several times... All they faced was the road to the Ghost Forest. They couldn't retreat because there was no other way.
As long as they raised their feet, they would enter the Ghost Weeping Forest. When several people were panicking, one of the men said in horror: "The Dark Side Ghost Weeping Forest, it must be the Dark Side Ghost Weeping Forest. We...we were brought here by the ghost fire, and we can't go back!"
"Don't panic, let's change the formation and move forward. Take out the evil-repelling items you have and carry them with you. If you don't have any, you can just use the fire spirit stones." A male voice sounded.
The other people acted almost at the same time. The five of them quickly stood in the direction of the endless vitality of their spiritual roots, took special steps, and walked towards the unavoidable Ghost Weeping Forest.
"Don't panic, everyone. The dark side of the Ghost Weeping Forest can only last for nine days each time. As long as we hold on, there is still hope for us to get out."
"I understand, uncle. I... I will never be willful again. I'm sorry. It's Shu'er who is sorry to everyone. It's because of me that we ended up in the Ghost Forest." The girl sobbed.
"Little sister, don't cry. Since you can't change the reality, just face it bravely. You have a fire spirit root and we still need your protection!" another female voice said gently.
"good!"
Gu Shihan wanted to get closer to the few people quickly, but there seemed to be something separating them, and they were always so far apart.
Gu Shihan tried several times but the result was the same. He simply gave up the idea of meeting them and walked around in the Ghost Weeping Forest. On the way, he encountered two more ghosts. Kill them! Take the Heavenly Ghost Pearl!
"Has it gotten dark again? It feels like less than an hour has passed!" Gu Shihan wondered.
"Hanhan, this is what the dark side of the Ghost Forest is like. There is only one hour a day and the rest of the time it is dark! Hurry! Something is attacking us!" Xingbai shouted.
Gu Shihan turned around, staring at them with a pair of green eyes, coldly and bloodthirsty. He wanted to step forward but seemed to be hesitant about something.
Before the green eyes moved, Gu Shihan took action first. He swung his sword, emitting a green light that quickly swept towards the green eyes.
“Woo woo…”
Gu Shihan couldn't tell whether it was the sound of the wind or crying. She swung her sword recklessly, and the green sword shrank back, leaving behind silence.
"Hanhan, do you see that big willow tree? It's a tree demon. Use your strange fire to insert it into its ninth green eye. That is its vital point. The abnormality within a hundred feet radius is caused by it." Xingbai sensed for a while and said in a low voice.
"Okay!" Gu Shihan thrust his sword forward without hesitation? There was a flash of red on the tip of the sword.
After hearing two sounds of "Puff!" and "Ah!", Gu Shihan felt that the ground beneath his feet was shaking and the space was twisting rapidly. It was indeed an illusion.
