"Idiot, don't be in a daze. It's going to be foggy here again at night. Let's go on our way while there's enough light now." Xue Qier frowned slightly and shouted to Yu Zun, who was slightly distracted.
Yu Zun was stunned for a moment, looking at the Xuanshan Mountain that was covered by the sea of fog, with a slight outline, and said with some confusion: "Qier, isn't that cloud in front of me a cloud?"
Xue Qier's tone suddenly became very serious and said: "Idiot, the fog I am talking about is not an ordinary cloud and mist. You will understand by then."
Yu Zun was slightly startled in his heart. Seeing Xue Qier's expression, he felt half awe and half expectancy. He thought to himself: "No matter what dangers are hidden in the front, I, Yu Zun, will take them all. You guys can ride over here together."
Three poles above the sun, there is a huge city next to you. The city seems like a vast sea, and on the other side is a stretch of rolling hills. The hills are not high at all, and they look like random undulating waves.
There are some wild trees and grass growing on the mountains, and their shapes are like mountains, free and easy. The cold autumn wind blows by, and those who are willing to surrender will bow their waists slightly, while those who are a little temperamental will straighten their backs, but they want to resist. Potential growth.
Behind the two people was a thick purple mist. Several earth-shaking tsunamis could be heard from time to time in the purple mist, sometimes accompanied by several terrifying beast roars, which indeed added to the strange atmosphere. .
"Secret Spring and Fantasy Sea" Yu Zun firmly memorized these words, and as the road under their feet became gradually steeper and more steep, the pace of the two of them inevitably slowed down a little.
There was a hint of concern on Xue Qier's face. She glanced back at Yu Zun. When she found that he was following her closely behind her without a beating heart or breath, she felt slightly relieved in her heart and murmured: "It seems That silver fruit does have certain miraculous effects."
A few staggering black pines were hanging upside down on a cliff. The two of them were walking on the steep mountains. On one side was a beautiful sunset, on the other side was a bottomless cliff. The cold wind was blowing through the cliff, blowing violently. Hitting the steep stone wall, it let out bursts of whining howls. The setting sun that hung in the west cast a dim twilight. The silhouettes of the two people swayed and lengthened with the twilight. The shadows fell on the stone wall, as if a painting was sunken, and the shadows were immersed in the shadows. It turned into a ball of ink again.
A few beads of sweat gradually appeared on Yu Zun's forehead, and his breathing became slightly labored. Xue Qier stopped and sighed: "Idiot, your physical strength is still far behind?"
They found a cave and planned to spend the night in the forest. However, looking into the distance, the mysterious peak hidden in the clouds and mist still showed only a vague outline.
Night soon fell, and the cave they lived in faced the majestic city like the sea. The time in the city changed rapidly, flickering bright and dark, like a wax torch burning in the cold night. destroy.
Like a magic trick, Xue Qier lit a pile of firewood that Yu Zun had picked up outside the cave. The two sat around the bonfire, staring at each other numbly. Yu Zun's face was slightly hot, while Xue Qier's face was fair. A blush gradually appeared on his face, and the two of them glanced out of the cave in unison.
At this moment, just as Xue Qier said, a thick layer of fog arose in the dark sky and earth, and Yu Zun gradually understood the extraordinary nature of the fog that Xue Qier had mentioned before.
If you call it mist, it is mist, but if there is a more accurate word to describe it, it should be soul mist.
Xue Qier looked at Yu Zun, whose face was gradually turning pale, and sighed: "Do you know what kind of city that abyss-like city is?"
Yu Zun looked at Xue Qier blankly, shook his head in confusion, and suddenly shouted: "They...they...how did they...come in?"
Xue Qier gently waved her long sleeves, and the soul floating in front of Yu Zun's eyes gently nodded to Xue Qier and floated out of the cave again.
Xue Qier said softly: "Don't be afraid of them. Everyone in the world is afraid of ghosts. Maybe they have done something bad and have a guilty conscience. In fact, most of them are kind people."
He added: "That city was destroyed by a scholar in white hundreds of thousands of years ago. It looks like a city, but in fact it is a resting place, and the Imperial Prison is merged with the other eight prisons. It’s called the Nine Hells, but it also has its value.”
Yu Zun looked at Xue Qier in confusion and said quietly: "Since you said these souls will not hurt you and me, then why don't we travel overnight in order to reach Xuanshan as soon as possible?"
A smile gradually appeared on Xue Qier's face, and she said: "You idiot, you are an impatient person. Although these souls are not a threat to me, if there are thousands of souls wandering in this world, just the vast You can't bear the yin energy. In other words, you and I have walked barefoot for a day and are already out of breath. If you are carrying a rocky mountain, can you still move forward?"
Yu Zun nodded in sudden realization and said quietly: "I didn't expect that this secluded spring and illusory sea would be so mysterious. It is indeed something I have never seen before in my life."
Xue Qier said with a smile: "You are young, and the world you have seen is naturally a little narrow. If you are not from the prison world, you will naturally be surprised when you see the strange scenery in the prison world. Moreover, even if you look at the entire prison world, Only the Nine Prisons can have such a strange landscape."
Yu Zun nodded in agreement, but then asked doubtfully: "Nine prisons? Is the name of the prison world named after these nine prisons?"
"As for whether this prison world is named after the nine prisons, I don't know very well, but these nine prisons are the nine weirdest places in the prison world. If you haven't met me, you are this prisoner. You will also hear about the Imperial Prison in legends." Xue Qier smiled mysteriously.
Yu Zun nodded in astonishment. When he mentioned the remaining eight prisons, he found that Xue Qier had fallen asleep leaning against the stone wall.
Yu Zun stood up, stood outside the cave, looked at the billion-dollar city covered by the soul mist, and murmured: "She said that this city was left behind after being slaughtered by one person, but who could do this? Weili?"
The city, separated by a layer of thick fog, shimmered slightly, like a cold white jade, emblazoned in the windy night.
The darkness gradually extinguished the last trace of firelight, and the bonfire emitted clouds of white smoke, wrapping the two dependent hearts with a faint warmth.
The next morning, the clouds cleared and the rain cleared, the sky was as clear as ever. On the moist ground, a few dead pines stood proudly. The few remaining needles on the branches of the dead pines, carrying a few drops of dew, swayed in the warm sunshine. , scattering a little bit of weakness, but after the cold wind swept away, the withered pine shook its body, and then returned to its original unruly nature.
Xue Qier rubbed her swollen eyes. She woke up several times last night, but she was always woken up by Yu Zun who was leaning opposite her and talking in his sleep. He was slightly crying, as if he was struggling to call someone's name, but No matter how hard I listened, I still couldn't make out who he was calling.
At this time, Xue Qier's heart felt sour and she thought: "This fool must be showing mercy everywhere and attracting some little ladies to linger in his heart."
Near dawn, when she was woken up again by his sleeping words, she could vaguely hear the word "mother". Her face could not be said to be sad or dejected, but from then on, she never looked back. She didn't fall asleep until dawn, when she saw him getting up and going out to collect some firewood, and she fell asleep again with peace of mind.
After walking like this for another two days, the two of them had walked out of the mountains and ridges with deep ravines, and the mysterious peak with no peak in front of them gradually revealed its true appearance.
Yu Zun raised his head as hard as he could, but still couldn't see the end of the mysterious peak. At this time, Xue Qier gently pulled his neck, and the two of them lay down on the fertile pasture.
Xue Qier rested her head on her arms and said leisurely: "How are you doing? What are your feelings?"
"I'm surprised and shocked. This is the greatest spectacle I have ever seen." Yu Zun looked at the majestic mountain peaks with longing, and a glimmer of excitement ignited in his quiet eyes.
Xue Qier held a soft light on her face and said with a hint of naughty disdain: "What does this mean? It is just the beginning. From now on, the whole world will unfold before your eyes."
Yu Zun was a little dazed and said, "But can I really embrace this strange land... me? Really... can I?"
Xue Qier patted the back of his head and said with a sullen expression, "When did I ever lie to you?"
Yu Zun scratched his forehead and murmured: "Didn't I just meet you?"
On this day, the two of them lay on this fertile pasture, listening to the chirping of insects and birds, looking at the sky leisurely, then quietly closing their eyes, and fell asleep quietly in the gentle breeze. .
When Yu Zun woke up again, he was already by a stream at the foot of the mountain. Xue Qier bent over and squatted by the stream, gently rubbing her long hair. Yu Zun touched his belly. Three days later, While eating, there was no trace of hunger in his belly, but his mouth and tongue were quite dry. He glanced at Xue Qier lightly, then bent down and picked up a palmful of stream water and put it into his throat.
Xue Qier shook her long hair, looked at Yu Zun with a smile, and said: "Idiot, you are so good at sleeping. If you sleep for a few more days, I'm afraid we will shelve the climbing of Xuanshan Mountain."
Yu Zun licked his lips, held up another palmful of stream water, and took a big sip. After a long while, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked doubtfully: "How long have I been sleeping?"
Xue Qier smiled mysteriously and said, "You don't need to understand this. Get ready quickly and let's start climbing Xuanshan Mountain."
Yu Zun scratched his forehead, looked at Xue Qier walking towards the foot of the mountain in confusion, and murmured: "What's so secret about this!"
The closer you get, the more shocking the visual impact of Xuanshan Mountain is. If Xuanshan Mountain is a cake, then Xue Qier and Yu Zun standing at the foot of Xuanshan Mountain at this moment are two insignificant cakes. Dust, there is a saying: "The weight of life may be lighter than a goose feather, or heavier than a rock mountain." However, if after death, the value of oneself can be equal to this mysterious mountain, I must have searched the whole world, and it is difficult to find one person. Bar!
When Yu Zun and Xue Qier arrived at the foot of the mountain, they were shocked beyond words by a black stone tombstone.
"Who would erect such a tombstone after death?" Yu Zun looked at the tombstone thousands of feet away in front of him in shock.
"But why didn't we see this tombstone just now? When we didn't arrive here just now, it was clearly not there," Yu Zun said with a confused look.
Xue Qier patted the back of Yu Zun's head, looked at the towering black tombstone, and said in a cryptic manner: "Don't forget, this is a mysterious sea of secluded springs, and anything can happen."
Yu Zun shook his head and said numbly: "Maybe."
When he passed by the huge stone monument, a hint of surprise flashed in Xue Qier's cunning eyes.
When Yu Zun lowered his head just now, he didn't notice the strange shape of the stone tablet. A five-clawed golden dragon actually appeared on the stone tablet. The golden dragon was like a living creature, twisting its body and swimming around on the surface of the stele, and the tips of its claws, But a few words were deeply engraved, and the words shone with several dazzling silver streams, gradually disappearing on the monument.
After that, the five-clawed golden dragon slowly faded away and was carved on the entire monument like a stone pattern.
Yu Zun scratched his forehead and asked in confusion: "Why did I feel a twinge in my heart just now? It seemed like someone had scratched me hard at the tip of my heart."
Xue Qier glanced at Yu Zun and shouted: "Idiot, follow me quickly. If you go like this, when will we reach the top of the mountain?"
The mountain is actually gentle. This mountain, which covers an area as large as a capital city, is home to a lot of vegetation. Red, green, purple, or white, all of them can be found on the mountain. And among those lush Under the cover of the jungle, the streams are making a tinkling sound, which seems like a grand scene in the world.
