Wan Qi grabbed Joseph's collar and roared loudly, while Zhao Chensi was like a bystander, observing all this happening with empty eyes.
Anger is produced by the secretion of adrenaline. It is a reaction produced by living things when facing pressure. It is a warning of an approaching threat... Wanqi is fearful, wary of the other party, and tries to assume an aggressive posture to intimidate the other party.
It seems that there is no way to calm down in a short time.
Emotionally and perceptually, Zhao Chen has not yet gotten over the mental trauma of witnessing the death of an acquaintance. However, the wonderful thing is that even after suffering such a blow, such mental stimulation, rationality can force his brain to remain calm, and even An almost cold state of thinking.
So he saw through the true emotions hidden behind Wanqi's anger at a glance.
Then Zhao Chensi rolled his eyes and glanced blankly at Yang Xin, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling slightly.
Her psychological defenses have been overwhelmed by excessive fear, and she doesn't even have the ability to think normally. Her emotions are easily affected by the outside world, and she is basically unable to adjust herself. She will be thankful if she doesn't cause trouble...
The more difficult it is to accept emotionally, the more calm and rational Zhao Chensi feels when he thinks, without any emotion or subjective bias.
This charred corpse was a living girl more than ten minutes ago. This girl was talking and laughing with him more than ten hours ago. However, the girl he had just met a day or two ago was suddenly destroyed by a blazing light falling from the sky. It turned into charcoal on the spot.
Until now, he has not been able to emotionally accept Shigure's death. Until now, he still feels that Shigure's death is so unreal.
But the reality is that Shigure is dead. The little girl who wore round glasses, greeted people with a smile, and looked and built like a junior high school student could no longer come back. She had turned into a blackened and shrunken corpse, curling up quietly in front of her like a baby.
The impermanence of reality made Zhao Chensi feel an indescribable chill and pressure. He wanted to shout loudly to express the pressure and fear accumulated in his heart, but he could not do such a thing at all.
The huge sense of separation seemed to divide him into two completely different souls coexisting in one body. No matter how many emotions were accumulated in his heart, he could not express them. He could only think and analyze the problem rationally and coldly in spite of himself.
Use thinking to avoid facing reality...
Shigure's body began to deteriorate rapidly after he violently coughed out the smoke...but Shigure and Manchi had both suffered from coughing symptoms. Both of them spit out the undead bugs in their bodies after being beaten by Joseph. The patient recovered as before after expelling the undead insects. Theoretically speaking, this situation should not occur with Shigure.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chen had already read it, and in his heart, he quietly reached out to the altar table without any hesitation, and took out the Xuanjun Yongjing Jing. While flipping through it, he reviewed in his mind his experiences since arriving at Changsheng Village. , and draw out the doubtful points worthy of attention.
The method of immortality originally originated from the mountain stream, the secret realm that only immortals can enter, the sword that cuts off the immortal...
This is the only information revealed in Xuanjun Yongjing, but it can be seen from the lines that Taoist Xuanjun left the method of immortality after careful consideration. At least he has arranged an escape route in advance for these alien villagers who have gained immortality. At the same time, they also left behind a sword that can cut off immortality, so that they can end their remaining lives when they are disheartened, and no longer have to endure the pain of eternal damnation...
Zhao Chensi searched his memory for the source water of the mountaintop stream, and immediately recalled the supernatural rumors about the 'Ghost River' in Changsheng Village.
The water of life that the villagers of Changsheng Village used to rely on for survival, including the groundwater taken from hand-pressed wells and the streams passing through the north and east of Changsheng Village, is probably related to the method of longevity mentioned by Taoist Xuanjun.
Later, it may be that the flesh and blood essence of Taoist Xuanjun no longer has the effect of immortality. In addition, the water source at the source of the mountaintop stream began to dry up. The entire village only had the names of most of the residents in the village who were immortal, and the legends about immortality. The truth and the speculations of later generations were mixed together, and eventually they turned into supernatural rumors whose authenticity was difficult to distinguish.
In fact, Zhao Chensi definitely would not have thought about this before he truly experienced extraordinary power. However, after witnessing the existence of power beyond common sense with his own eyes, he quickly adapted to adding this new variable to his thinking, and transformed extraordinary power into reality. The possibilities of the field are also included in the thinking.
Or maybe... the stream with the effect of immortality has never dried up, but has just 'migrated' to the interior of the secret realm along with the villagers who have gained immortality, and then staged a real-life version of the Peach Blossom Spring for people who entered this place by mistake, on the pretext of treating guests to dinner. Let them eat undead insects and turn them into the same kind...
Inexplicable thoughts popped up in Zhao Chensi's mind, but he soon felt that something was wrong.
This strange sense of inconsistency made him immediately start to reverse the previous memories, pick them out bit by bit from the relevant general impressions to specific details, analyze and think about them, and re-check whether there were any omissions.
Crossing the peach forest and arriving at a secret land like a paradise... meeting an unfriendly old man... being led around the village by the enthusiastic-looking village chief, and finally entertaining them for dinner...
etc!
Shigure’s first symptoms of coughing were not after eating! She started coughing before even eating!
Her cough is different from Wanqi's! It’s not just because of the meal that I was affected!
This piece of information exploded in Zhao Chensi's mind like a bolt from the blue, and he felt that his brain was already working rapidly.
what does that mean? This means that in addition to the undead insects that may be mixed into the food, there may be other deadly things in the village...
What were you doing when you were injured by that old man? Or when you were bandaging and applying medicine in the village? The mist Shigure coughed up was somewhat similar to the mist in the peach forest... air? Is there something wrong with the air in Changsheng Village?
Zhao Chensi carefully recalled everything that Shigu and they had come into contact with after arriving in the secret realm, but the more he recalled, the more desperate and cold he felt.
His lungs and throat had begun to feel itchy, and while he was coughing uncontrollably, a terrifying suspicion arose in his heart.
They...may not be able to escape alive...
Here, Wan Qi was still scolding Joseph.
The young man's angry roar echoed in the ruined temple for a long time. He freely vented his fear and vigilance against the threat. It even seemed to Zhao Chensi that he was a bit hysterical after losing control of his emotions. The look on Joseph's face also changed from The previous guilt gradually turned into solemnity.
The atmosphere became more and more tense unknowingly, as if something was brewing, and there seemed to be a haze growing in their hearts.
Zhao Chensi had a vague feeling that everyone's mental strings had been stretched to the limit. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder. As long as there was a tiny spark, the tense atmosphere would be completely detonated.
"I can't stand it anymore!" Finally, Yang Xin's scream of collapse pushed the atmosphere in the ruined temple to its climax!
Even though her long legs were still trembling, she still ran to the altar table in a few steps, picked up the sheathed sword on the table, and unsheathed the sword with a clang: "You killed her! You guys!" Kill her!! You still want to kill me now!!!" The sword exuded a strange red light, reflecting the strange red light. Yang Xin's eyes were also a scarlet and ferocious color. He clenched the hilt of the sword with both hands and turned towards his back. Her Wanqi stabbed away.
