There was a cloud of fog on the other side of the city wall, gradually moving towards the street at a very fast speed. It spread to the street in just a few seconds, and several vendors were wrapped in the fog.
After the fog cleared, all the original vendors disappeared.
"The vendor is gone!" Xia Wei looked at the strange scene and became much more alert. She couldn't help but lean forward to see more clearly.
The other people in the room also gathered around the window, and some of their expressions changed slightly.
"Isn't the fog poisonous?"
"How come the person who was standing there just now suddenly disappeared?"
"Should we run? That fog is coming!"
“Run! Run!!”
Everyone ran outside in panic, and Tang Yueqing picked up her folding fan and followed them out.
By the time they ran outside, thick fog had filled the entire area. They covered their mouths and noses as they ran through the fog towards the city gate.
The fog was hazy, as if blown by a gust of wind, and the thick fog near the city gate gradually became less.
…
…
On the other side, Yu Qing walked to the place where the crew members disappeared, walked around, and found no traces.
She followed the direction Tang Yueqing had last left, and after about three hundred meters, she found a cave in a hidden environment covered with weeds.
The cave was very dark and you couldn't see the bottom. A faint fragrance wafted towards you.
Yu Qing cleared away some weeds and went deeper into the cave.
The cave looked very deep, but it was actually only a hundred meters deep. After walking a few steps, she found several crew members lying on the ground unconscious.
The deeper you go, the stronger the fragrance becomes. It's not very pleasant, but it has an inexplicable appeal.
She found Tang Yueqing among the lying crew members, and next to him was a bright red flower with yellow petals in the center, growing outward in circles.
The bright red flowers emit a faint light...
In Buddhism, the mandala flower is known as a symbol of spiritual purification. In reality, it is highly toxic and can cause poisoning in severe cases, leading to hallucinations or even death.
These people have been lying here for three days, and their lives have been seriously affected.
Yu Qing had just put talismans on these people when the surrounding space changed the next second. When she looked back, she saw a group of people running towards her.
The last one left in the group was Tang Yueqing.
Everyone stopped outside the city gate, panting. Some people looked at the girl in front of them. Seeing that she was wearing modern clothes, Qiu Liyi, who was at the front, asked in confusion, "Did you come in suddenly too?"
Yu Qing glanced at him, then turned his gaze to the person in the last row who was also looking at him: "Brother."
elder brother?
Who is her brother?
Everyone was confused and looked in the direction she was looking, their pupils constricted. Could the brother she was calling be Emperor Tang?
At this time, Tang Yueqing walked forward, put the folding fan to the tip of her nose and waved it, as if there was still some residual white mist.
Their eyes met, and he said firmly, "You're here to save us."
"Well, she should show up soon."
Everyone in the crew: "..." Why can't they understand what the brother and sister are saying?
"Look up at the sky!"
"Is that... a mandala?"
The azure sky had turned gray and gloomy at some point, and the mandala with blood-red petals blooming outward in circles was pressing down inch by inch.
The mandala grew larger and larger in their vision, and even their pupils were left with only the reflection of the mandala flower.
At the same time, thin lines condensed from golden light surrounded everyone, gradually entangling each person. The next moment, the thin lines suddenly tightened.
"ah!"
Qiu Liyi woke up from the hallucination, sat up, reached out and touched his forehead, which was covered with cold sweat.
The others also woke up and found themselves in a cave.
What happened before?
They seemed to have traveled back to ancient times and saw a mandala as big as half the sky. After that, they could not remember what happened.
"Mandragora is poisonous, let's go out first." Tang Yueqing stood up with the help of the wall, took out the half-burned talisman paper on her body and held it in her hand.
Only then did the others notice that there was a datura flower growing in the corner of the wall.
They hurriedly supported each other and walked out of the cave, following the direction of the crew they remembered.
On the other side, when Lu Yan received the news from Yu Qing, she immediately notified the paramedics.
“They’re back!”
The people guarding at the foot of the mountain ran over to inform the news.
Lu Yan rushed over there with the paramedics and took the crew members to the hospital.
…
…
The datura flowers that were almost pressing down on the ground seemed to have dyed the sky blood red.
A figure slowly emerged from the yellow petals in the center, naked and semi-illusive, its lips opening and closing.
"Why do you have to meddle in other people's business?"
The woman's voice was very flat, without any emotion.
She must be looking at the girl below, because she was slightly lowering her head.
And she heard the girl say: "It's not easy to cultivate into a human form, why would you want to hurt others?"
The woman seemed confused, wondering why she wanted to hurt people. It seemed like it was an instinct, or maybe she was confused by something.
She did not answer. The petals surrounding her gradually closed, forming a circle, and then pressed down with the force of thunder.
The direction was exactly where Yu Qing was standing.
At the same time, a larger golden lotus blossomed from under her feet.
The gold and red lotus collided with each other, and it was obvious that the golden lotus was more powerful. The scattered light slowly enveloped the red mandala flower.
The air became thinner, and a strong wind howled from afar, making it almost impossible for people to stand.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the thick white fog in the city spread out, stained with blood.
The blood mist was vast and silently swallowed up the golden petals, but the moment it touched them, it was swallowed up in return. The circle formed by the talisman fell from the sky.
Like a giant net, it instantly wrapped up the datura flower.
There seemed to be something visible in the blood mist, but it was hazy and unclear.
"don't want!"
"Aren't we teammates?"
"Why are you killing us? You can't kill us. You said you would protect everyone."
"Yu Qing..."
"Yu Qing...how could you be so treacherous!!!"
The familiar voices continued to ring, and the figures became clearer and clearer.
Yu Qing looked at those people who should have died in the copy and appeared. His heart was calm and he formed a curse with his hands with an expressionless face.
"break!"
"ah!!"
A heart-wrenching scream came from the center of the mandala flower. The woman looked up in disbelief, spat out a mouthful of blood, and stared at her with dead eyes.
"You are so heartless!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman fell to the ground and the datura flower gradually disappeared.
Yu Qing took a leisurely step and looked down at the woman.
