Chen Si's heart sank, and he quickly called out the sprites and horned dragons, only to find that he had lost contact with them, and even the fairy rope was no longer around.
I tried to mobilize the immortal energy in my Dantian again, but it was also lifeless, like a stone.
He looked at his body blankly and murmured to himself: "No...impossible, I have really become a mortal? That illusion has such great magical power that it can completely block my immortality." gas?"
Zhang Chunmin stopped and looked at Chen Si, who kept mumbling and fell into a daze, and said helplessly: "My mind is not strong. It seems that he is really crazy. Maybe he should have brought Gao Liyao down at that time."
Chen Si suddenly raised his head, his eyes were stern, and he said word by word: "I'm not crazy! You are just an illusion, why should you call me crazy! When I walk out, you will disappear naturally!"
However, Zhang Chunmin stared at Chen Si motionlessly, his eyes were indifferent and without a trace of emotion, and he asked coldly:
"Do you really think this is an illusion?"
Chen Si looked into his eyes and felt a sting as if his brain had been bitten. The chaotic feeling in his head suddenly disappeared and his thoughts became clear.
He recalled the previous scenes. Suddenly, as if he noticed something, he opened his trousers and saw two small holes formed by bite marks on his calf still hanging there.
This was bitten by a piranha in the water when we crossed the river before, but the skin was clearly not bitten at that time!
Chen Si was puzzled.
At this time, another picture came to mind.
"No! It's wrong! It was wrong from the beginning!"
He suddenly woke up. The wound was not bitten by some piranha, but was clearly bitten by a snake while crossing the pond!
Immediately afterwards, a large number of pictures emerged one after another, attacking his mind crazily.
The stone road is covered with flowers and the long bridge is straight at your feet.
The twisted blood banyan tree and the white dragon in the cave...
The vivid pictures and memories gradually merged, and he suddenly realized that this scene was exactly the same as his experience in the ghost cave!
Even the fight with Huang Zhongyuan was so similar to the internal strife in the ghost cave that day!
Zhang Chunmin squatted down, looked at Chen Si who collapsed on the ground, and repeated word for word: "Do you really think this is an illusion?"
Zhang Chunmin's appearance finally overlapped with Ran Zhu's.
Chen Si was shaking like chaff, and he seemed to be facing a huge struggle in his heart. He didn't want to face reality, but the reality was so coldly placed in front of him.
After a long while, Chen Si looked helplessly at the man in front of him, and tremblingly said: "Could it be that I've never been out before?"
Zhang Chunmin's words were decisive and shattered Chen Si's last illusion.
"You have never left the ghost cave! What you have experienced before is just what the ghost cave wants you to see. Wake up quickly, Chen Si! Have you never noticed any clues?"
When Chen Si thought about it for a moment, he naturally remembered all the sense of disobedience he had felt since going out.
Although I have always felt very uncomfortable, why do I still ignore those violations and live life as a matter of course?
Maybe Gao Liyao is right. I was confused by the ghost cave from the beginning. I am the most crazy one...
Chen Si seemed to have lost his soul, his whole body was deflated and he collapsed on the ground.
Seeing that Chen Si finally woke up, Zhang Chunmin breathed a sigh of relief, got up and continued walking deeper into the cave.
"Let's go, "He" is still waiting for us."
At this moment, Chen Si no longer had the strength to resist. He knew that he could not return to the ground, and he would never go back.
With a dull look on his face, he followed the figure in front of him step by step.
The cave is so deep that it seems like it will never reach the end.
Once you cross one bridge, another bridge will continue to appear in front of you, endlessly.
As the two walked day and night, Chen Si gradually felt some unknown changes taking place in his body.
On the first day, he was in pain due to hunger and sleepiness. His stomach spasmed and produced a large amount of gastric acid. It seemed that he might die suddenly at any time.
On the fifth day, his physical strength was completely exhausted. Sores appeared on the soles of his feet, his muscles atrophied, and his eye sockets were sunken. From a distance, he looked like a mummy.
On the tenth day, the hunger and pain began to gradually subside. I don't know whether it was because the body was completely numb or because of some unspeakable reason.
On the thirtieth day, Chen Si had completely lost the ability to think. He was dragging his steps forward like a living dead, with only one voice in his mind——
"Go down the hole..."
In the dark underground, the concept of time has become blurred. I don’t know whether it was months or years. One day, Zhang Chunmin in front of me finally spoke, making a dry and decaying voice.
"About to arrive."
After hearing these words, Chen Si's eyes finally regained a touch of color.
It's almost... is it the end?
He looked up with difficulty and saw a hill rising upwards at the end of the long stone bridge. The hill was as black as ink, and the lines seemed random, but also contained some kind of secret pattern. It was dizzying to see. I'm confused, I don't know who built it here.
Chen Si and Zhang Chunmin dragged their heavy steps, getting closer to it little by little.
The whispers around him became louder and louder, until they resounded throughout the entire space, like thunder flashing and exploding in his mind.
"Chen#Si...^&, come...**"
"......##wait..."
""Call*^!I——Resurrection>**"
What a familiar language, it had been so long since he had heard these beautiful whispers.
Chen Si felt like he had returned to his hometown.
In the vast space, two pilgrims walked alone on the long suspended bridge, sacred and solemn.
Chen Si noticed that as they gradually approached "him", many beings in the darkness noticed him, and they all turned their attention to his body.
The sounds in their ears were dense and penetrated their souls. They were fearful, excited, and looking forward to it!
The silent underground world has not been so noisy for thousands of years!
The true immortal is about to awaken!
Arriving at Black Mountain, Zhang Chunmin stepped onto the winding path and walked up step by step.
Chen Si followed closely behind, struggling to support his swaying body, and soon reached the top.
There is a rugged and irregular platform on the top of the mountain. The rough stones are concave and convex on the left and right. The gaps between the stones form a strange pattern. Viewed from above, it looks like a spider web all over the entire stone platform.
And there are many unfinished patterns carved next to these gaps.
These patterns are somewhat similar to those recorded in the Book of Ascension to Immortality, but the composition is larger and the lines are very rough and rough, as if someone had carved them out of primitive stone.
There is a protruding stone pillar on each side of the stone platform, about half a person's height. They are connected to the entire stone platform through runes and become a whole.
Chen Si took a breath and finally saw the clue.
This so-called stone platform turned out to be an ancient primitive altar!
