"Speaking of which...how did you enter this place?"
When Jiao Mo asked this question, he was a little tentative and a little curious. It was somewhat of luck that she and Kanna-kun came to the inside of the shadow barrier. Kanna-kun's eyes saw an abnormal arm stuck on the barrier, and he used this as a breakthrough to break through the barrier with the Yin-Yang Scimitar. Although it only opened a gap briefly, it was enough for them and even Utsuki-kun to pass through.
If they didn't find the weak point at that time, she didn't know what method Kanna-kun planned to use to break through and attack by force? However, it may not be effective for "enchantments" that are of a special nature and are not considered barriers. They were certainly not the only visitors who came here, but how the others got through the barrier, she had no idea. She really wanted to know how Wei Donglin got in.
Of course, if she didn't say anything, Jiao Mo wouldn't be able to do anything about it. This woman, who was so cold that her whole body radiated chills, seemed untalkative.
"It brings me in."
As he spoke, Wei Donglin shook the Demon-Sealing Blade in his hand. Those metal flocculent pendants made an ethereal sound that echoed in the small space. Jiao Mo was a little puzzled because she didn't speak very clearly.
"Will this weapon, like many weapons with divine power, convey its will to you?"
"It guided me to walk over, and I came in." Wei Donglin thought for a while, and then said, "Rather than saying what I heard, I should say that I felt an inexplicable force on the tip of the knife pulling me in. Although it was sealed in I can still feel it exactly inside the sheath.”
"Yes, yes..."
In fact, saying it is the same as not saying it. But no matter what, the tense atmosphere has probably eased a little bit...
They came here relying on Jiao Mo's singing. Before entering the inner space, she had been identifying her location by sound. Finally she discovered some clues. Some places appear to have obstacles, but the singing can penetrate them; some places appear to be empty, but actually hide an invisible door. Although earth-shaking changes have taken place, the hidden spells set up by Death Shadow Pavilion still have their own effect here.
Ordinary voices will still be deceived by these spells, and only the songs with strong spiritual power of the sharks can break them.
Just seeing through this is useless. Some problems can be solved automatically once they are realized, but some problems must be solved by magic even if the clues are discovered. Jiao Mo can know some spells, but they are only better than humans. No matter how advanced they are, they can't do anything, let alone the sophisticated formations set up by the Death Shadow Pavilion. At this time, Wei Donglin can try to resolve it. Jiao Mo found that he had some misunderstandings about her. She only knew that this man had unparalleled martial arts skills, had mastered the world's mental techniques in the Demon-Conquering Pestle, and had acquired the best weapon in the world. Unexpectedly, she is also very accomplished in magic.
This should be the real interior of Death Shadow Pavilion, and Jiao Mo has been here before. It's just that there are many roads extending in all directions here, and it's difficult to determine which one they need to take. They walked aimlessly for a long time, and the two of them had nothing to say. The atmosphere became awkward again, and this embarrassment lasted for a long time. There is a faint light in the cave, which is the water rich in spiritual energy flowing on the damp stone walls. But that's all.
"Is this what the Death Shadow Pavilion is like?" Wei Donglin suddenly asked, "Have you been here before?"
"Uh, um... yes. It's not much different from what I remember, right? But, I always feel that something is different."
"no the same?"
"It's just, isn't it too quiet?" Jiao Mo thought, "It's not ordinary quiet, but a lifeless silence. Even in a place like this, there used to be many traces of life. Some will appear in the dark according to the humidity. There are moss and fungi with changing spiritual energy concentrations, and there are also beetles and fireflies that live in the cracks in the rocks. Sometimes there are trees, huge trees, running through these empty corridors. They are still alive and growing slowly. Ah, and the most important thing... those luminous spiritual stones. They are translucent minerals called green glass. We have seen a few along the way, but they are all dull and very turbid. They are placed on There, it's like an ordinary stone..."
"You're talking about firefly, is this it?"
Jiao Mo turned his head and found a group of faint blue light spots on the back of Wei Donglin's hand. She was startled and looked over with some curiosity. They both stopped. When did this little guy appear? Where did it come from? Jiao Mo tried to stretch out her hand, and the small light spot jumped lightly and landed on her fingertips. She carefully folded it with her other hand, like a fireproof lampshade. Just such a small amount of blue light actually gave off a somewhat warm feeling in this deep passage.
Then, there were more and more light spots. They all come from nowhere, and they may come from all directions. Hundreds of insects gathered into a stream of light, lingering around them. Soon, they all flowed in the same direction, as if they were leading the way for the two of them. They quickly chased after him. I don't know why these little insects fly very fast, and they can't catch up with them simply by running away. Jiao Mo even had a dangerous idea: Even if this is a trap, we must not lose it.
They may have been running for a long time, or maybe the act of following them made them lose track of time. But when they stopped, they couldn't even take a breath. The two came to a large, empty place. Here, there is no stone roof above. It should be said that there is, but it is very, very high, so high that when you look up, you can only see darkness.
There is a huge, thick stone pillar in the center. Jiao Mo stretched out his hand and touched it. It felt like stone, bone, or maybe hardened wood. She wasn't sure, she just felt that the surface was a little uneven. The texture cannot be said to be delicate or rough, but it feels very solid. This spectacular trunk has steps-like projections on the outside, and if you look closely, there are also steps on the inside. There are also depressions on both the outside and inside, and all kinds of strange things are displayed inside. In addition to this main trunk, the walls of this space are also full of neatly cut holes of different sizes, and there are things placed inside.
However, there are only shadows inside, and the specific things cannot be seen clearly, and the outlines are also blurry. If you don't reach out to confirm, I'm afraid no one will know what is actually placed here. After all, darkness always makes people instinctively feel dangerous.
"Is this a warehouse?" Wei Donglin asked.
"Maybe...? I have never been here, but I know that there are many treasures in the Shadow Pavilion."
"The bug?"
The swarm of insects formed a stream of light, guiding them in the sky. It slides into the gap in the main trunk, which is the ladder inside it. Jiao Mo hesitated for a moment, then squeezed in sideways. Wei Donglin frowned and seemed not to follow. Jiao Mo climbed up the spiral staircase, not even taking care of every step. It's quite spacious inside, even wider than it looks from the outside. I'm afraid there is some space-based spell here. And there might be many more spaces like this in Death Shadow Pavilion.
Many fluorescent bugs landed in a space. Jiaomo carefully turned around on the steep stairs and groped his way closer to it. These bugs gather in one place and are distributed on the objects in the slot. Their light makes this place squarely lit.
She mustered up the courage to reach out. But just before she encountered it, the swarm of insects dispersed. They rushed straight into her face, scaring her legs for a moment. She grabbed the edge of the groove and tried to move her missing foot back to its original position.
"Hey! What happened?"
Maybe those bugs rushed out from below and made Wei Donglin notice something. Her voice came from over there, taking many twists and turns, and felt a bit humming and distant.
"……fine!"
After she stood firm, she tried to respond loudly, but Wei Donglin said nothing more and she didn't come in. Jiao Mo looked again at the frame he was holding on to and found that the shadow inside had been dispelled. The bugs flew away, but the light remained.
What appeared before her eyes was a half-white mask.
"You smell like her."
A human voice came from the mask.
"You, you are..."
"You can call me Yingyue-kun. Oh, it's so dark here, so boring."
"You made those bugs..."
"Of course. Otherwise, I don't know how long you will be headless flies. Although I can't move around here, I am still very clear about everything that happened in the Shadow Pavilion."
Jiaomo was silent for a while, thinking about something rapidly in his head.
"...You just said, smell?"
"Well. You have the smell of that girl's head. I know you have seen her. But you only saw part of her. She was originally brought here by Ye Xuici Yes, but something happened. Then She Ji pulled her away, and when something happened, she ran away again. At this time, the girl fell into the hands of my colleague again. Alas, it is really troublesome to explain. "
"No, no, no. Wait a minute, in the end..."
"Forget it, just touch me."
Jiao Mo looked at this weird half mask. She was still frightened by what happened just now. But in order to find out what Yingyue Jun wanted to say, she decided to take the risk.
The moment she actually touched the mask, countless fragments exploded before her eyes, flashing one by one. Although it was fast, it was very clear, and she saw it all. And when she realized who the wax-like melting arm belonged to, a strong sense of nausea suppressed the dizziness caused by the picture. Beyond that, there's a lot more.
"Why are you--"
"Because as a substitute, she is more suitable than her sister. Although one arm is missing, it can still be used. But it won't work if she dies completely. I can't guarantee that she can be attached to such a body. There is no way, she My sister is dead. Although her body was stolen from the underworld and hidden, it is indeed useless. Her sister is too cruel. The moment she realized that I was unwilling to leave, she planned to get rid of me at any cost. Drop me."
"As a member of the Six Paths of Impermanence, you actually attack humans... and join forces with evil angels?"
"What are these words? At least our interests are the same. Only human beings can continue to maintain dreams, and secrets flow in them. For this reason, it is best for me to have a body that can move around in the world, but that person Neither the adults nor anyone else would give it to me, so I had to find it myself.”
"Yin Hu's... where is she?"
"In a place where only you can go. But once you get there, you can't come back, let alone take her away. Don't waste your efforts. Why don't you save her sister's life first? I don't want her to die like this. It fell."
Endless indignation bloomed in Jiaomo's heart. She gritted her teeth and stared at the cold mask in front of her. I really can’t believe that there is such a snake-hearted guy among the six realms of impermanence. And all of this, including the things that led her here, were arranged by this monster - just to use her. Thinking of this, a strong unwillingness occupied her heart.
But she really couldn't let Ling Huan wait for death.
