The wind in November is so cold, but Qinglize shouldn't be at such a temperature, or even windy. In the past, in their memories, Qinglize was full of towering trees, with lush bushes reaching up to their waists. Even every blade of grass on the ground is full of juice and crowded. But all these scenes disappeared, and there was only sand and gravel everywhere that could be seen with the naked eye.
Master Lintian arrived as promised, bringing with him the magic weapon to subjugate the demon pestle and the method to resolve the shadow. He did it with the Master of Hundred Skeletons, and according to what he said, he also asked for help from the Six Paths of Impermanence such as Lord Kannau and Lord Jiyue, as well as many monsters who visited the Eclipse Palace. But when he came, he was alone, and the Master of Hundred Bones did not come. Xi Guangque has always been very busy, and there are very few opportunities to squeeze out time. What's more, he has also received help from many monsters, and now he has to pay the corresponding rewards one by one. In addition, he did not see his reflection in the smokescreen that showed the future.
"There will be many people." Rin Shankai said, "A lot of people - that's what he told us. But he didn't see the truth we need, nor the final result. Even if he knew, he wouldn't He will tell us. As for who appeared in the phantom of the incense burner, he also kept silent. He said, it is up to us to see it with our own eyes.???????????????"
"...Although I can understand his decision, it sounds like something bad will happen."
Master Lintian did not deny Chenxing's words. He knew that Shi Wuqi could make such a statement because there would be some unpleasant people among this group of people. As long as troublesome people appear, troublesome things will happen. But they all know that no one can escape unscathed when things get to this point.

Chenxing told them that sometimes in the semi-dry pool water, they saw a kind of turbid gray but very smooth irregular stone, which was a unique spiritual stone of Qingli Ze whose spiritual power had declined. Originally, they would lose their spiritual power only if they were taken away from this place, but now the factors affecting it have changed. However, by observing the distribution patterns of these stones and the remaining spiritual power inside, it can help them determine the direction of their destination. These tasks were completed by Master Lintian and Chenxing. Xie Zhe felt like a decoration and knew nothing about their actions, let alone how to help. He was somewhat impressed, wondering how Chenxing had learned knowledge that ordinary people could not understand in such a long time.
Several people stopped at a certain place.
"There," Master Lintian said, "one of you should be able to see a hill, not far away."
Han Sheng looked over, and saw nothing in front of his eyes, not a blade of grass growing as far as he could see. Wenying was also confused. What she saw was also a barren land. Just when the two wanted to express their doubts, they both noticed that Xie Zhe was staring directly at the direction pointed by Master Lintian without blinking. Han Chang looked into his eyes and was surprised to find that he could actually see a tiny, undulating outline in his eyes.
Apparently Wenying didn't notice. She said: "I haven't seen anything?"
"Dark hills." Chenxing said.
"It seems that only you two can do it." Master Lintian nodded.
"It's not far from here... should we go there?"
Master Lintian said yes, Chenxing had already walked over, and the others could only follow. Although there was still nothing in front of him, Han Chang had an indescribable feeling. The sky is still bright, but it gradually becomes darker, and the clouds change from clear to cloudy. The surroundings seemed to be getting colder, but he was not sure because the cold only seemed to irritate the skin and did not require people to put on more clothes. Wenying pressed him closer, and she seemed to be able to detect something bad, but neither of them could say anything specific.
But Xie Zhe's complexion turned livid.
He can see it all. The closer you get to the "hill", the more shadows will pass by in all directions. Each and every one of those shadows were weird, and they reminded him of the speech spirits he saw in the Wuyongyan barrier, but they were different. They have no specific form and are changing all the time. He saw a dark rabbit passing before his eyes, and the next moment it suddenly expanded, transforming into the posture of a deer and taking a few steps dignifiedly. Birds occasionally flew across the sky, but there were no shadows on the ground. When Xie Zhe lowered his head, he was surprised to find that even he had no shadow. Not to mention himself, the feet of Master Lintian and Chenxing in front of him, as well as the two brothers and sisters beside him, were also empty. Xie Zhe was about to say something to Master Lintian who was leading the way, but he saw the silhouette of a person directly in front of the road.
Yes, it's a human silhouette, absolutely right. Not only animals and plants, but also clear human appearances are present here. He wanted to know what these were, but the answer was already clear, wasn't it? That is the shadow. He was about to call him to stop him, but found that Master Lintian went straight through it, just like an entity passing through a ghost.
Is that person facing him from the front or from the back? Maybe the answer doesn't matter. Seeing him stop, Lintian Master turned around and looked over, motioning for him to follow quickly. It was as if he didn't see the figure, or rather he saw it, but didn't care. Did he not want to cause any confusion, or did everyone see different scenery? Xie Zhe only knew that even Han Zhang and Wenying, who were monsters, seemed unable to notice them - otherwise Wenying would have screamed out long ago.
Everything is extremely weird. Facing the figure in front of him, he hesitated for a moment and decided to go around. He felt very uncomfortable, but Master Lintian still did not express his position. In the current atmosphere, it is no longer easy for them to maintain emotional stability. Obviously, I didn't have the feeling of a big battle before, but now I felt an inexplicable aura of chilling. Xie Zhe couldn't explain why.
But unlike in the realm of lies, the black hills did not remain far away in the horizon or change their appearance randomly. It is like an ordinary hill, quietly waiting for their arrival. When he got very close, Xie Zhe realized that this was a huge, dark barrier. From this barrier, black shadows escape from time to time and wander around here. This is probably where those shadows come from. There are none anywhere else, maybe if they go too far they will dissipate. So far, they pose no real threat to anyone.
Master Lintian can handle the rest alone. He calculated the time and determined the location. He raised his sleeves, and a row of talismans jumped out in unison, like a flock of white birds. Those spells attached to the wall of the "hill" really seemed to have come into contact with some solid entity. But soon, they seemed to be soaked in ink, slowly turning dark, and then being swallowed up. Next, Master Lintian took out some sacrificial tools and started operating them around them. He used magic to create a large formation on the ground, including all four of them. He stretched out his hand again, and the fragment of the bronze mirror levitated, floating in the center of the array under the influence of the spell. Soon, a faint blue light spread outward on the ground, filling the lines of the magic circle like water flow.
After Master Lintian commissioned several people to sprinkle unknown yellow powder outside the formation, he began to recite the curse. The twisted and deformed fragments actually lost their color and became shrouded in light again, just like a withered petal absorbing water and rejuvenating. The fragments that were originally spinning randomly suddenly stopped at a certain moment, with the smooth side facing the dark hills. A tiny spot of light appeared on the wall of darkness, like sunlight reflected in a mirror—even though the sun was not visible now, it was just awkwardly bright.
Soon, that began to spread. Traces that looked like burning were eating away at the black shadow bit by bit, and the white hole slowly expanded. All this magic seemed a little weird in the eyes of Han Sheng and Wenying. Because they couldn't see the boundaries of the hills, nor could they see the brilliance of the magic circle. They didn't know why Master Lintian stopped here, because the scenery here was no different from other places. As for this set of spells, it is indeed a mysterious and mysterious process, enough to make a layman feel a bit powerful. But it can only be seen through Xie Zhe's eyes. The actual scene is so weird.
When the white hole expanded enough for one person to pass through, the black shadows around it began to fight. They try hard to close together, stretching out long threads, intertwining with each other, trying to merge into one. There were marks like scratched rags on the barrier in front of him, and the scene inside was blocked like a net. However, nothing could be seen from inside. From Xie Zhe's perspective, it was really just a kind of white light that was not dazzling. This is very disturbing.
"Now, go in quickly." Master Lintian said, "It is about to close, and we can only hold on to this step. This is the result of using the fragments of the mirror to resonate with the fragments left inside by Lord Kotsutsuki. Only It’s very difficult to open from one end.”
Chenxing walked straight over without speaking to anyone. Her figure merged into the white light and suddenly disappeared in the eyes of Han Sheng and Wenying. They soon understood that there was an invisible door in front of them, and they walked through it hand in hand. But only one person was allowed to pass through the cave entrance. Wenying disappeared in an instant, but Han Zhang was in vain. He looked panicked, wondering where his sister had suddenly gone. Fortunately, Xie Zhe remained calm and allowed him to just repeat the question about the path Ying had taken. He could even clearly see that the passage of Chen Star caused the black threads in the middle to break again, and when Han Shan hesitated, they slowly recovered.
Han Chang trusted him and naturally passed the barrier successfully. When Xie Zhe entered, he could feel the coldness as he passed through the cave entrance and melted into the white color. It's like passing through a bubble-like film, and a weak resistance can be felt on the exposed skin.
But inside, it's a completely different scene.
This is probably another spiritual node, right? It was full of lush vegetation and small animals flitted past—real animals. Even though the time was short, Xie Zhe noticed that it must be a clever squirrel. Even though it’s already November, there are flowers blooming everywhere. In addition to the vegetation, there are also many puddles on the ground, exactly like what Qinglize should have looked like at this time. But it's all very weird, and everyone can see why.
Everything - everything, they have no shadow.
Not at all.
After Master Lintian passed the barrier, no one interfered with him, and the shadow quickly repaired itself. To them, it was like a black shadow in the air suddenly condensed and then disappeared completely. Even he didn't have time to express any emotion at the scenery in front of him. A somewhat immature, child-like female voice came from the front.
"We really have guests coming. Lord Satsuki is absolutely right."
Zhu Tong put his hands behind his back and smiled sweetly. She has no shadow either.
