Ji Men can't afford it if they are suppressed, and the evil ones can't afford it if they are suppressed.
When I entered through the torii gate, everything was peaceful... What disturbed the layout of this place? Was it the change caused by the earthquake? Or what caused the earthquake caused misfortune.
The Dumen of Xun Palace belongs to the wood, which means it is either a little bad or a neutral sign. To disturb Dumen there must be something that can be overcome by wood. Is there something earthy showing up? Probably not. They didn't do anything rashly when they came in. If it is Dumen, they should run to the south. Ligong Jingmen is one of the lucky gates. And the door that opens the door is the door of good luck, and it belongs to metal. Is there something that suppresses the metal aspect, causing the auspicious aspect to be destroyed? It must be fire. If they open the door at Qiangong, the nearest safe place should be Kangongxiumen.
"Run to the northeast!"
This was a subconscious decision. Xiumen belongs to water and is located in Kan Palace in the north, which is the second auspicious gate. Further west from here is the Jingmen, which is responsible for fright, trauma, and official misconduct, and is also a major evil. Shan Hai is not sure whether the judgment he made in a short period of time is correct, but there is no other way. He believes that the first feeling is the best - even if the decision-making process is a bit rough. After all, no matter they are in Xun Palace or Qian Palace, the distance to Gen Palace is the same, and they have to cross one more palace, either good or bad.
"Where is North?!"
The so-called inability to find north refers to the current situation where there is no sense of direction. Fortunately, Shanhai probably drew a map in his mind and only asked them to follow him. Along the way, corpses were constantly crawling out of the swamps on both sides, and ghosts were rushing towards them seeking their lives.
They were not the only ones who noticed the tremor at that time. This feeling is also particularly evident in the realm of the living. Shi Wuqi felt it outside - the human world with fresh air and deserted huts. He was keenly aware that the source of the earthquake was coming from the well in the courtyard. He wandered outside the torii for a while, but found nothing. Then he returned to the living world and walked a long distance on the barren land. Even though he knew it was probably futile, he just couldn't sit down. He had chatted with Kapok girl for long enough and decided to walk around alone with Ah Qi.
He had to get back, he knew. At dusk, the color of the whole world becomes like the realm of life and death where the torii stands, like the eternal dusk, as if the night will fall in the next second, as if the dawn will never come again. The junction between the withered yellow earth and the distant sky became blurred, and he just ran back with Qi. The farther back Wu Qi went, the more he could feel the scent of strangers.
He probably knew the "stranger", but his memory was very thin, and he wasn't even sure. It may also be that the lingering smell is not so obvious because the person involved has left. But there was another scent he had never smelled before, from someone he had never met.
He broke in - it was a child.
A girl. She was sitting with Kapok. As soon as she saw Shi Wuqi coming back, Kapok girl complained.
"Two rude guys are here!" She ran forward and grabbed the hem of his clothes. "One of them is... a monster. It's really scary. They have killed people. I can tell it at a glance."
"Don't panic. Speak slowly."
Kapok swallowed and continued: "With that momentum, I thought they must be looking for you. I secretly decided in my heart that I would die without saying a word! But they didn't look at me at all. They didn't even enter the house and chased me straight to the well. Inside. I'm so worried - I didn't say you were outside. This kid is a hostage, and they just left her here..."
While Kapok was speaking, Shi Wuqi kept his eyes on the little girl. Her hair was very long, but it was not well taken care of and looked a little fluffy. The face is not dirty, it must have been washed, but it was not wiped carefully, which always makes people feel that there is uneven plaster where it connects to the neck. The clothes didn't fit well, were a bit too big, and were old but clean. The first thing he noticed was not these, but the girl's demeanor. Her eyes were timid, and her limbs were curled together alertly and timidly, hugging herself. The look in his eyes wasn't simply scared, nor was it stupid, but it didn't have any radiance - in other words, it didn't have the unique spirituality of a child. And these cowardly reactions are just the instinct of a stray cub.
Wu Qi was looking for a feeling in her, an illusion he had when he saw her for the first time.
She looked like a person... He hadn't remembered it yet. According to Kapok's description, he could easily remember who the two people were, and the monster among them, Kapok, seemed to have changed his statement about the impermanence of the six paths in order to avoid trouble. There was a little bit between her eyebrows that was similar to Tang He's, but it was so blurry that it made Wu Qi wonder if it was because he thought of that person at the time that he mistakenly overlapped her face with the image in his mind. . If you look closely, they don't look alike.
So who does she look like?
He has seen it, he must have seen it. The dark golden eyes flowed slowly, and there was some kind of sticky light jumping inside. The little girl looked at him the same way, so she probably couldn't see the changes. The hell realm gave him a lot of harsh punishments, but also generously gave him things he didn't have.
For a moment, he saw the little girl's soul intertwined with her skin. The face of that soul was so familiar that he was surprised, but what exactly was it...? The more anxious he is, the less he can remember. The real passage of time deprived him of too many things.
Shi Wuqi walked over, squatted at the foot of the bed, and asked her.
"Don't be afraid, I'm different from those people... What's your name?"
The girl opened her round eyes, and it was hard to tell whether it was fear or something else. She instinctively shrank, but there was a layer of cloud in her pupils, isolating herself from the whole world.
"I'm Shi Wuqi, can you tell me your name?"
He asked again in a different way, trying to make his voice softer. After a long while, the little girl whispered:
"Doudou. Jiang Doudou."
"Okay, Miss Jiang."
He tried to reach out his hand, then felt that the action was a bit offensive, so he took it back. He was worried about the girl running around, but since even Tang He dared to leave her here without worry, he might know that she was not that "stupid". In comparison, he was even more worried about the situation in the Dead Man's Swamp, so he gave Kapok some instructions and hurriedly ran to the well outside the house.
The footsteps of night can be seen in the western sky. Wuqi jumped down without hesitation, taking Aqi with him. The world of death and life is still a scene at dusk, and it doesn't even look like it's as late as the present world. But the sky around the torii was dark, which confused him. Originally, before the torii could be seen, there was nothing unusual in the sky. There is one explanation: the strange weather spreads from there. He took Qi and quickly found the location of the torii gate. From a distance, he saw that the seal originally filled with runes had turned into a black whirlpool.
The miasma is spreading continuously. It is not very strong, but it should still cause alarm. Weirdly colored thunder and lightning flashed and crackled from the center of the vortex. Obviously, the seal was opened by abnormal means. Shi Wuqi didn't think much and rushed forward. This time, nothing blocked him, but he clearly felt something stagnant blocking him for a moment. After getting rid of the indescribable touch, he immediately came to the world inside the torii.
When I turned around, the torii gate behind me disappeared. Everything was empty and empty.
"Qi?!"
He called out, but no one responded. Shi Wuqi couldn't feel Aqi's presence at all, and there was no scent at all. He suddenly regretted that he should have grabbed her hand and rushed in. But he didn't think much about it at that time. Wu Qi forced himself to calm down, because he immediately realized that the spiritual power in his body was also rejected, and he was isolated from Miss Qi.
Spiritual power is an important sense to him, almost as important as his mouth, eyes, limbs, but he usually doesn't have that awareness. The next moment he lost it, he was keenly aware that he seemed to have lost some sense, which made him feel at a loss. It's a good thing that Miss Qi wasn't dragged in by him, otherwise she would just become a real corpse here, and he wouldn't be able to command her anyway.
Although Aqi's disappearance made him uneasy, he knew what to do in this situation. There are two kinds of footprints on the ground, both very shallow. Either they are people who are not heavy in nature, or they are people who are good at Qing Gong. Walking forward for some distance, there were many mud dragging on the ground, like traces of animals crawling out of the swamp. These stretches of mud cover some sort of messy trail. He wiped away some dried blood-like mud with his bare hands and saw that they were three types of hurried footsteps, the earlier ones.
But the owners of these types of footprints have reached the point of handing over weapons.
"What a tangle!"
Tang He didn't expect that he would be exposed soon. It would be better to say that the damn Lord Xueyue betrayed him directly. There were no bunkers nearby, and stealth and tracking were his strengths. It was not difficult to move around while hiding behind the miasma. He chose his partner to cause trouble, so he drew the horizontal knife directly from his side and almost threw it into the swamp. He reacted quickly, and it was not difficult to retrieve the sword, but this gave him reason to suspect that Lord Kotsutsuki was using him as bait. Now this guy is gone, without a trace, as if he was alone from the beginning.
Speaking of which, Lord Kutsutsuki's reaction after entering the Dead Man's Swamp was a bit strange. It was a very brief moment, but he captured it and knew the reason - spiritual power and demonic power failed within the barrier. It doesn't matter to him, but it should have a greater impact on Lord Kutsutsuki. But his face was so meaningless, so calm, as if his hair had just been caught by the door frame and was as insignificant.
There are no more Corpse Man pursuers. In such dangerous conditions, the survivors fought against each other. He couldn't deduce Lord Xueyue's intention, but he knew that when Shan Hai and others turned around and saw the knife shining in his hand, they knew that he was definitely not here to chat. Mu Wan's umbrella struck straight at him, and the blade blocked it, creating a crease. Mu Wan suddenly came to his senses and realized that the talisman inside the umbrella that could protect it no longer existed.
"too slow!"
Before Mu Wan could react, another sword attack came. She ducked sideways, trying not to be forceful. Tang He was right, compared to him, all his decisions were so slow. She was unhappy, but rationally told herself that impulsiveness could not solve the problem. In this difficult terrain, it is difficult for Shanhai and Dailuan to intervene.
"We left the previous palace." He said to his apprentice, "Now we are either in Zhen Palace or Kan Palace."
"Let me think about it..." Dai Luan tried to recall what Shanhai had taught her, "The injury door belongs to wood, the rest door belongs to water..."
The auspicious gate will bring great benefits, and the unlucky gate will bring misfortune.
It is bad to hurt the family, and it is good to be close to the family. Either they can overcome evil, and use metal to attack wood; and metal generates water, so even if they are actually in Ximen, it won't be a big problem. But facing such an enemy now, they not only need to do harm, but also need to seek benefits. That should make Jimenxiangsheng. Water produces wood, so it doesn't matter even if they are in harm's way.
"Gold, or wood. Wood is the best. But..." Dai Luan was in trouble, "We don't have a peach wood sword anymore. What should we do?"
She glanced at the battle situation where Mu Wan had to retreat and dodge, then looked back at Shanhai anxiously, and suddenly found that he had taken out a string of wooden beads. That was the fake Bodhi he bought casually in Tanghuan County.
"I didn't expect it to be used here."
