Tian Xiaoding piloted the Feiyun Shuttle, carrying Ouyang Qing, Zhang Xiaodie, Ou Muyun, Tian Xiao'e, Cheng Yaowei, and Lu Tianshuo, a total of seven people, towards the Sea of Death Desert northwest of Huaxuanzhou.
On the way, they passed a village and town. They planned to take a rest midway, so they landed and walked into the town.
However, after a few people walked into the town, they found that the town was actually deserted and deserted, with almost no human beings. Occasionally, the cold wind would blow, giving people a chilling feeling.
what is happening? Xiao Ding and others became suspicious.
They are cultivators, so they are not afraid of ghosts and gods.
However, on this street, not to mention the shadow of a human being, there was not even a shadow of a dog.
Is this market town an empty town?
This is too weird!
They let go of their spiritual consciousness and looked around, and found that the town was indeed an empty town. Wherever their spiritual consciousness went, they did not find a single living person.
There is no one in such a huge village and town. What is happening here?
As a few people walked on the street, they could still see the various shops on both sides of the street, with their signs and guise still there, and even the various goods in the shops were still there, but there was no human activity.
When we reached the end of the street, a magnificent blue arch stood tall in front of us. There are no carvings on the arches, but they are full of ancient meaning.
There are several extremely rare and strange characters engraved on the arch. Xiao Ding looked at it for a long time and didn't recognize any of it.
Several people walked into the arch and found that the building inside actually looked like a castle.
Not far from the entrance, there is a high platform. Several people walked up the steps to the high platform, intending to take a closer look at what was going on in this castle-like building complex.
But after boarding the high platform, what they saw was a fog. All the buildings were hidden in the fog and could not be seen clearly.
"Let's go down." Senior Sister said, "I always feel something weird here, a little weird..."
Everyone walked down from the high platform.
"That's not right!" Xiao Ding said thoughtfully.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Xiaodie asked with concern.
"When we went up, there were 152 steps, but when we came down, there were only 120 steps left. Where did the missing 32 steps go?" Xiao Ding said with a frown.
"Eh? Don't tell me yet. When you mentioned it like this, I remembered it. It is indeed what you said." The senior sister also said from the side.
Cultivators have the ability to remember things with photographic memory. Even if they didn't pay much attention at the time, they will immediately remember what just happened if they think about it for a moment.
"Let's get out of here as soon as possible." Xiao Ding said warily.
For cultivators, life is the most important thing. Although experience is a good thing, when things exceed your ability to predict, you will never take risks and show off your courage.
"We may not be able to leave..." Senior Sister said, looking ahead.
Everyone followed the senior sister's gaze and found that the arch they came in from before was missing...
Now the surroundings are full of fog. Except for the high platform in front of you, you can clearly see other buildings. Those who were closer could only see two rough outlines.
What made a few people nervous the most was that the scope of their spiritual consciousness had been severely reduced at this moment, leaving only a few feet in radius. They also couldn't figure out what the reason was.
At this time, Tian Xiao'e stepped forward and said, "Maybe my Qianxun Lotus Technique can help us find the exit."
Qianxun Lotus Technique is one of the skills Tian Xiao'e learned at the Danting Mountain Li Nu Sect. This is a spell that can assist in finding the right path.
Xiao Ding nodded and said helplessly: "Then give it a try..."
When Tian Xiao'e heard this, she immediately made a sign with her hands in front of her chest, and then shouted: "Flowing clouds, beams of light, sky
Elephant, come lotus! "
Three completely different rays of light shot out from between her handprints, crossed the mist, gathered above her head, and connected into three lotus flowers, illuminating the surrounding areas. Tian Xiao'e took a step forward, and a lotus flower sprouted from the sole of her foot. She took three steps in a row, and suddenly a bright light appeared in front of her. After only three steps, the fog disappeared in front of them. Everyone discovered that they were now in a wilderness, surrounded by strange rocks scattered on the plains.
The castle-like buildings, high platforms, arches, and villages and towns seen outside the arches that everyone had seen before all disappeared.
Is there a trick here? Everyone was puzzled.
Now, no one can figure out whether what they see now is real or what everyone saw before is real.
This place is so weird!
At this moment, three purple rockets suddenly shot out from behind a strange rock, hitting Tian Xiao'e's three guiding lotus flowers directly.
The lotus instantly turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared. Tian Xiao'e also groaned, fell from the lotus at her feet, and spat out a mouthful of blood...
Her skills were broken, she suffered backlash and suffered internal injuries.
Xiao Ding and others quickly looked in the direction of the strange stone, and at the same time, their spiritual consciousness also explored it.
But there was nothing behind the strange stone. The people present were all Golden Core monks, but no one could find any clues.
With the destruction of Tian Xiao'e's lotus, everyone was once again plunged into mist.
And when they looked at their surroundings, they were still within the castle-like building complex.
Xiao Ding and the others looked at each other, no one could figure out which one was the real world.
Now Tian Xiao'e is injured. For the time being, she needs to meditate and exercise to heal her injuries, and cannot continue to use the Qianxun Lotus Technique.
"Junior Brother Tian, what should we do now?" Senior Sister Cheng Yaowei looked at Xiao Ding and asked.
Although Xiao Ding has rich experience, this is the first time he has experienced such a weird thing today. If you haven't experienced it before, it's hard to decide how to deal with it.
"Now, we can only take one step at a time..." Tian Xiaoding sighed.
Just when everyone was at a loss, suddenly a "help" sound came from the fog not far ahead.
Several people were stunned and looked at each other. Then they heard a woman's voice shouting loudly: "Help! Help! Come and save me!"
Everyone's consciousness was limited, and their vision was blocked by the fog, making it impossible to know what was happening in front of them.
At this moment, Tian Xiao'e was sitting cross-legged on the ground recovering from her injuries, with Ou Muyun protecting her. Naturally, everyone cannot leave the couple here alone.
The cries for help became more and more urgent, and the sound seemed to be not far away.
The senior sister looked at Xiao Ding and then said, "How about I go over and take a look?"
Xiao Ding was always cautious. He didn't know who the woman calling for help was or where she came from. Therefore, he didn't really want his eldest sister to take risks. So, he shook his head and said: "We are not familiar with this place, so we should not take risks..."
Although the eldest sister usually has a rough personality, she is actually a warm-hearted person.
Hearing the woman's urgent cry for help, the senior sister couldn't help but said: "I heard that the sound is not far from us. I should go over and have a look. There should be no problem. Even if there is danger of fighting, you can still be here. It's audible. Besides, it's hard to see a person, so we have to ask her to find out what the hell this place is..."
Xiao Ding heard what Senior Sister said was not unreasonable, so he nodded and said: "Okay then, just go over and have a look. Be sure to pay more attention..."
Before Xiao Ding could finish speaking, Lu Tianshuo on the side also said: "Junior Brother Tian, I will go with her too..."
Xiao Ding nodded and said, "That's just right. If you two go together, you can also have someone to take care of you. If there is any danger, you can send a signal in time..."
Lu said: "Okay, Junior Brother Tian, just wait for us here first.
news. "
After saying that, the couple moved towards the direction of the cry for help and cautiously touched it.
Not long after the two of them left, the woman's cries for help stopped.
Xiao Ding's heart, which had been hanging around, felt a little calmer.
However, after waiting for about a cup of tea, Xiao Ding and others did not wait for a reply from the eldest sister and his wife. But the woman who called for help before called for help again: "Help! Come and help!"
When Xiao Ding heard the woman's voice ringing again, his heart sank and he thought to himself: Could something have happened to Senior Sister and Lu Tianshuo?
However, since these two people left here, Xiao Ding has been listening carefully. He has not heard any sound of fighting at all.
In any case, the eldest sister and his wife are both golden elixir stage monks. Even if they meet high-level monks, they will not take them down without making a sound...
At this moment, Xiao Ding was very anxious. He wanted to go over and see what was going on in person, but when he saw Tian Xiao'e and Ou Muyun who were recovering from their injuries, he knew that now was the critical moment of healing and they could not go together yet.
So, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, spinning around in circles.
Ouyang Qing saw Xiao Ding's anxious look and couldn't help but persuade him: "Hubby, don't be anxious yet. Senior Sister and the others may be back soon."
Xiao Ding said, "They haven't come back for so long. I guess something happened to them. I plan to go over and have a look in person. You, Die'er and Mu Yun, stay here and take care of Xiao'e... "
Ouyang Qing shook her head and said, "You are the backbone of our small team of seven people. How can you leave without permission? If you leave here, won't everyone else panic? So, let me do this. OK. I’ll go over and check in with Senior Sister and his wife to see what kind of trouble they have encountered.”
