Chapter 316: Illusions also need to follow basic laws
Gululu, Gululu.
Gurgle.
puff--
The dark pool, as dark as thick ink, suddenly boiled, and then a head popped out from it.
Crash...
The Medicine Master Demon jumped out and landed on the shore.
On the shore, the Bone Demon holding a big sword looked at him quietly. The Medicine Master Demon raised his eyes and stared at the Bone Demon.
A crow flew across the sky, cawing strangely.
Medicine Master Demon: “…”
Bone Demon: “…”
Medicine Master Demon: “…”
Bone Demon: “…”
The scene seemed to happen again yesterday.
The atmosphere was very awkward for a while.
After a while, the Bone Demon broke the silence and asked coldly, "Why are you the one who died again?"
The Medicine Master said weakly, "Zero and two... I was careless."
"Who did it this time?" asked the Bone Demon again.
"To be honest, I'm still the little Taoist priest from last time." said the Medicine Master.
The Bone Demon asked solemnly, "Still didn't tell him who he was?"
"I asked... He was killed in one second... What's there to say?"
The Medicine Master lowered his head and poked his two index fingers at each other nervously.
"The matter at Fuhuang Tomb has been concluded. Next, I will do my best to help you prepare the resurrection medicine. However..." The Bone Demon said: "There is something that needs to be dealt with urgently."
"More urgent than the resurrection elixir?" The Pharmacist Demon was surprised.
"Yes." The Bone Demon nodded: "Heluo National Master Li Maoqing has come to Southern Xinjiang."
"Heluo National Master..." Yaoshi Mo narrowed his eyes, "Is he very powerful?"
"He is a person of the same realm as the city lord. Do you think he is very powerful?" The Bone Demon stood up, carrying a big sword. "But the city lord cannot leave the Demonic Land. The eight of us can only use the Immortal Killing Formation to cooperate with the Wooden Man King to try to deal with him. This battle is crucial."
"Okay, let's get going."
Hearing this, the Medicine Master Demon did not dare to delay any longer and quickly caught up with the Bone Demon.
There are countless secret realms in the world, among which the four oldest and most mysterious secret realms are also known as the four great immortal hiding places.
They are “Shenxu, Motu, Longyuan and Guigu”.
In the deepest part of the Demonic Land, there is a legendary land of the Beginning Demons. The largest force in the land of the Beginning Demons is called...
Luxian City.
…
The Shen family manor is located in the suburbs of Sanqi Town outside Qitian City.
This place has been a well-known haunted house for more than ten years. It is said that people living nearby often heard miserable screams coming from it, but could not tell whether it was from wild animals or humans, so gradually no one dared to approach it.
I don't know why Mr. Shen, who was an official in Chaoge, wanted to travel thousands of miles back to his hometown to live after retirement. If he hadn't sent people to thoroughly clean up the manor when he came back, no one would have known that such horror was hidden in it.
According to Chen Huaji's description, he saw a huge eye appear on the trunk of a tree that night.
The crow was perched on the tree and was seen by the eye. It immediately let out a miserable cry and then stood still.
The next second, a set of black rope loops dropped from above and tightened instantly, hanging the crow upside down on the tree.
From beginning to end, it never struggled at all.
After being looked at by those eyes, it seemed as if I had turned into a strange wooden sculpture.
Due to the angle, Chen Huaji did not see the full picture of the eye from the front...but he had a vague premonition that if he saw it, he might not be able to leave.
Based on his description alone, Yu Qian'an couldn't tell what this thing was.
It could be some kind of pupil magic, or a monster shaped like a pupil, or an eye that has turned into a spirit...
In the end, Li Chu had to come with him to take a look.
Arriving at the outskirts of Sanqi Town, it was already dusk. Li Chu and Chen Huaji did not follow the formalities and went directly into the Shen Family Manor.
Although this dilapidated manor had been cleaned for several days, only the front yard at the entrance was cleaned.
The large manor with a courtyard and garden has a front porch paved with ancient blue bricks covered with undried moss, and the back garden is all rammed earth roads. The collapsed walls and dilapidated debris blocked many passages, and the only way to get to the backyard was along a path that the family had barely opened up.
Li Chu used the art of looking at qi to scan the entire manor, and took a rough look from front to back, but did not find anything wrong.
In this case, if there is an evil spirit in this garden, it might be some kind of ghost that is hard to find in the daytime.
Coincidentally, after completing this series of searches, it was already dark.
The last ray of sunlight fell into the mountains and sea.
In the distance the cries of weary birds returning to their nests could be heard.
Chen Huaji couldn't help but feel a little scared, "Master Li... why do I have a bad feeling?"
"There is a lot of resentment here." Li Chu said, "It should be that some injustice happened in the past, which caused this land to be lingering with negative emotions and attracted evil spirits to settle here. The evil spirits killed people here and aggravated the resentment here. If you have an unstable mind, you will be easily affected by this."
"Then what should we do?" Chen Huaji asked again.
"Respond to ever-changing situations with constancy." Li Chu said.
The two men came to a dilapidated lobby and sat on the floor.
Li Chu closed his eyes and closely monitored the land with his mind. If there was any trace of evil spirit leaking out, it would definitely not escape his eyes.
Chen Huaji looked around nervously, having mixed feelings about the evil spirit.
Afraid that it won’t come, and also afraid that it will come randomly.
Just as I was daydreaming, I suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Hmm?" Chen Huaji frowned. "I've already told Mr. Shen that no one is allowed to approach after dark. Who else would come back?"
From the lobby door, he could see the main door directly across the front yard, and he subconsciously looked outside.
This one glance shocked my heart!
On the outside gate, a huge eye suddenly appeared!
This time I saw it clearly. It was about five feet long, with a white outer circle and black pupils, and there seemed to be deep emotions in its eyes.
This is clearly a human eye standing upright!
Chen Huaji looked at the eye and saw his own reflection in it, as well as a very terrifying scene.
The Li Chu behind him was no longer Li Chu, but suddenly turned into a demon, a pale woman with disheveled hair. She stretched out a bony claw and slowly grasped his neck.
Phew.
Chen Huaji suddenly felt that he was really dead.
At the same time, a black rope loop hung down from the ceiling, locked around his neck, and tightened immediately!
But he didn't resist at all.
When Chen Huaji's life was in danger, Li Chu also sensed the sudden appearance of a strong yin energy!
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw Chen Huaji staring outside without moving, while the black rope loop had already fallen.
Li Chu was about to draw his sword to cut off the rope, when suddenly, he saw a huge eye suddenly opened on Chen Huaji's back! That's right.
Li Chu's eyes were on Chen Huaji's back at this time.
And just where his eyes were, a huge eye suddenly appeared and met Li Chu's gaze!
It’s impossible to guard against!
boom--
Got tricked? For a moment, Li Chu almost thought that he was also tricked, but he soon found that it was not the case and he could still move.
But this eye is on Chen Huaji...
It's a bit tricky to cut it off with one sword.
And in the moment of thinking, he saw the world reflected in those eyes.
A woman in white with disheveled hair appeared behind him and fiercely stabbed his neck with the ten fingers of both hands! Snap——
A crisp sound.
Ten nails snapped off...
Li Chu clearly saw that the eye revealed a hint of...confusion? Perhaps its intelligence was not enough to understand.
Illusion also needs to follow the basic laws.
Then Li Chu raised his hand and shouted, "Watch out!"
He held up a spell and suddenly a ball of strong golden light burst out.
A little sun!
The eye was stung and suddenly closed tightly, and disappeared on Chen Huaji's back in the next second. It obviously didn't expect that this move could actually be used to "see"!
With a thud, Chen Huaji fell to the ground and immediately woke up.
But Li Chu didn't have time to take care of him, but immediately flashed and chased out!
Sau——
The evil spirit was fleeing quickly in the manor. If you were a step slower, it might hide again.
When the evil spirit stopped again, it was under a dried-up pond in the backyard.
Li Chu came to the edge of the pond, and before he could wait, he saw a huge eye suddenly appear in the dry mud in the center of the pond! Suddenly, the light and shadow changed! The scene reflected in the eye turned into a stormy night.
A woman in white was wailing miserably beside a pond, while a man in black ruthlessly gouged out her eyes!
The man in black took the eyes and left.
When the woman in white raised her head again, there was only a pair of empty eye sockets shed tears of blood.
She stood up, groped forward, and accidentally fell into the pond.
A surge of resentment began to accumulate.
I see?
While watching the background story, Li Chu did not forget to draw out the Pure Yang Sword...
