Bai Lu kept rubbing her eyes with her hands, which seemed to be very swollen. She was still coughing. When she saw that we were not talking, she looked even more uneasy and said, "What happened? Is there something behind me, or is there something wrong with me? You look like you have seen a ghost."

Afraid that Bai Lu would be too worried, I whispered in Yunwen's ear, "Don't tell her yet, otherwise she will overthink it all the way. Given her personality, she'll probably be paralyzed with fear. I'm afraid that any more complications will affect our progress. Let's pretend we don't know for now. When we're no longer in the wild and return to the post station, we'll find a chance to tell her about the situation."

Yunwen also turned her face to my ear, sprayed Fanglan, and whispered back: "Okay, otherwise if Sister Bailu knew that she was sick, she would always think that we were going to abandon her. I'm afraid she would think more and more along the way."

So the two of us discussed it and decided to hide what we saw, but Bailu was extremely alert, and the usual cheating methods would definitely not fool her, but would make her suspicious, so we needed a reasonable reason and method.

"Oh...I did see a ghost just now," I said.

"Yes, I saw it." Yunwen said.

"What did you see behind me?" Bai Lu asked.

"Yes, it was Yingchun. Just now, Yunwen and I suddenly saw Yingchun behind you. She was wet all over and her face was pale, like a corpse that had just died. She was following you, so we were scared. But she is gone now." I said.

"Yes, it was Sister Yingchun, but her eye sockets were protruding and her tongue was sticking out, which was very scary. She was also very skinny and I couldn't recognize her clearly at first." Yunwen continued to make fun of her.

"It turned out to be Yingchun..." When she said this, Bai Lu was already in tears again.

Yunwen and I also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, we were just saying some lies to her. Mentioning Yingchun would make her stop thinking too much about her current situation. However, just as Yunwen and I were about to turn around, we saw the petals in Bailu's red eyes suddenly spinning. My consciousness immediately became a little dazed. I shook my head and looked forward, only to see a wet woman standing behind Bailu.

Her hair was hanging down and her body was pale, just as Yunwen and I described. She leaned on Bailu's shoulders and then slowly pulled her hair apart. I saw Yingchun's face with her eyes rolled up looking at me. My heart almost jumped out!

My words came true? I have this ability?

But as the red color in Bai Lu's pupils faded again, Yingchun's terrifying image instantly shattered into smoke.

"It's something about her eyes," I muttered.

Anyway, Bai Lu was calmed down, so we continued on our way. However, Bai Lu was still coughing along the way, sometimes heavy and sometimes light. This could easily attract wild beasts in the mountains. If they attacked, we would be in big trouble.

After passing this area with mostly pine trees and walking up a slope, we looked down and recognized our location. Below the high mountain area we were in was a wind vent where we could hear endless whistling sounds. Not far in front of the wind vent was the Taiqiong Cave of Clawlong Mountain, so we could reach the familiar area after going down the mountain.

It turned out that the canyon was across the Claw Dragon Mountain, in the direction of Guanfengkou on its southeast side. In this way, the map of this area was clear.

When you arrive at Taiqiong Cave, you can see the Jade Emperor Temple. After passing the Jade Emperor Temple, you will reach the monkey forest. You can then walk straight along the monkey forest to reach the dangerous jungle, and then you can go directly to the post station. I am familiar with this route and have walked it twice.

Already knowing the length of the journey, we thought we would be able to get back to the post station today, so we took a deep breath and decided to rest at the Jade Emperor Temple and let the horses eat something. We also set up a pot and prepared to roast some wild vegetable roots to temporarily fill our stomachs. In addition, Bai Lu also stewed a cough-relieving and lung-moistening medicinal soup for herself.

While Bailu was busy, Yunwen asked me to accompany her to find tender grass for the horse outside, and called me outside the temple, whispering, "Did you see it?"

I nodded. The scene of Zhang Yingchun, who had died tragically, clinging to Bai Lu like an innocent ghost, was something I would never forget.

"Is Yingchun really dead? So when I said that, she really turned into a fierce ghost and came back?" I asked.

Yunwen shook her head and said, "The theory of ghosts and gods has always been controversial. I can't say whether it exists or not, but the one just now was not an innocent ghost. It was called the 'Gate of Life and Death'. Legend has it that only the high priest of the Blood Eye Clan can perform this sorcery. My father has studied the Blood Eye Clan. Their eyes are rich in a kind of mysterious radiation. Only the high priest knows how to use this radiation. This radiation is more effective than the frequency of X-rays, and it can change the frequency of our magnetic field and let us enter her world."

Generally speaking, the human body also emits radiation, the sun also emits radiation, and there is radiation everywhere. It's not a big deal. Some non-electric radiation is basically harmless to the human body. But the X-rays mentioned just now, etc., can be harmful to the human body if you are exposed to X-rays frequently. Long-term electromagnetic radiation environment can cause damage to the blood, lymph and human cells. I heard that many leukemias originate from this environment.

How terrifying would a mysterious radiation that is more powerful than X-rays be? According to Yunwen, her thoughts and ideas can be directly grafted into our field of vision, like a door opened between the frequencies of our thoughts.

"I see. What the high priest can do is hypnosis. In modern terms, it is the ability of hypnosis, right?" I asked.

"Hypnosis requires guidance and hypnotic means, and it can only be carried out when the patient is aware and cooperates. But the high priest does not need that. He can force it on a person while he is conscious. It is similar to the so-called situational hypnosis, but does not require hypnotic means. It is forced intervention. This is scary, isn't it?" Yunwen asked.

"It's really scary. The ghost claw flower only uses our fear to create illusions. But if someone can intervene and change other people's cognitive vision through his own thoughts, it would be a disaster. I hope Bai Lu will never know this, or that the red eye disease can disappear by itself, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to lead this team." I sighed.

I don’t know how she got this strange disease, but I vaguely know that it is related to the red light in the cave. After all, the red light disappeared after Bai Lu approached for a while.

Yunwen and I both knew that the emergence of this strange disease was like leaving a time bomb that would explode sooner or later. How could paper cover fire? How could Bailu remain unaware of it forever?

After eating, we rested for a while, and then continued on our way. The road was long and we passed many places. In the monkey forest, we could see leaves falling to the ground, which meant that the orangutans had begun to return to this area. So I was more careful. However, when I passed by a tree, I saw several orangutans suddenly fleeing. It was strange that they were afraid of humans in their own territory? Why didn't they drive them away?

The scene afterwards was the same. When we returned to the dangerous jungle, I clearly caught a glimpse of a pack of wolves coveting on one side. The horses were already neighing in anxiety, and the surrounding deer had already scattered. However, after hiding for a moment, the Scarred Wolf King did not attack, but dodged. He actually let go of us, who were considered weak and food in their eyes, in the winter when there was a shortage of food.

Everything started to go against common sense again!

Is it because of those eyes that they are so intimidating?

Finally, without any danger, we returned to the post station. The huge four-character plaque, the tall fence, everything was so familiar, the three of us couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Even in this wilderness, we couldn't help but feel like we were home.

However, I soon noticed something unusual. I remembered that before I went out, I had a fierce battle with the red-eyed monster and shattered a lot of wooden fences. There should be a lot of missing pieces, but now they have all been repaired. And it is obvious that they were made of the most recent wood, and the color is fresher.

What's even weirder is that the three of us couldn't push the door open. It was tied from the inside and propped up with wood, so we couldn't push it open no matter what we did.

"There's someone inside!" the three of us whispered at the same time.
