Seeing that Zhao Xiaozhong was trapped, Yuan Chu came to his senses and wanted to hold Zhao Xiaozhong and ask what happened.
When Zhao Xiaozhong saw that his way was blocked, he naturally fled in the opposite direction, but he didn't expect that Yuan Chu had already attacked, and his face sank and he started thinking. Yuan Chu didn't know what trick he had used to make the air around him so ghostly and depressing that he no longer dared to act rashly. Seeing Zhao Xiaozhong take out something from his arms again, the eyes of the villagers suddenly became cloudy, and their vitality slowly disappeared.
Yuan Chu looked intently at Zhao Xiaozhong's hand, and suddenly realized that the beads in his palm had been stolen by Zhao Xiaozhong. He also had mixed feelings in his heart, but when he saw that the villagers were in bad condition, and some were even dying, he quickly scolded him to stop.
When Zhao Xiaozhong heard this, his expression became extremely pitiful, and he slowly walked around behind Yuan Chu, saying that he had no choice but to do so, and only hoped that Yuan Chu would listen to his explanation. Yuan Chu felt very conflicted in his heart, but before he could turn around, Zhao Xiaozhong behind him suddenly got angry. He yelled "Farmer Three Punches" and punched him directly.
Yuan Chu felt the oppression of this move and was extremely surprised. He never expected that Zhao Xiaozhong would actually kill him. However, if he dodged, he might be afraid that the villagers behind him would be killed, so he could only jump up on the spot and block while doing so. Block, while guiding three punches into the air.
The first two punches were not difficult to block in terms of strength, but they were extremely cold, making the aura in Yuan Chu's body extremely chaotic, but he was too late to block the third punch that came in front of him! Yuan Chu's expression changed greatly, and he quickly turned over to avoid it, but it was too late. The third punch hit Yuan Chu fiercely, smashing his legs to pieces, and he passed out...
"I didn't expect that your legs were injured by Zhao Xiaozhong... Ha! This kid is really a wolf-hearted person. Thank you for taking care of him!" Hearing this, Youya became angry and her temper became violent.
"That's not what happened! When I woke up, I discovered something strange in the village. I quickly rescued Lao Yuan, and then I understood what happened... If I hadn't contracted sand poison and fell into a coma, I'm afraid he will also be brutally attacked..." Huo Fu continued to chatter.
Yuan Chu was injured and bleeding a lot. He didn't expect to attract nearby wild animals. Fortunately, these guys were no threat. Even though Yuan Chu was so weak, he could easily repel them. The two of them protected the villagers one after another.
Seeing that the sand poison on these villagers is becoming more and more obvious, it is not an option to continue like this. They suddenly remembered that they had heard on the road that there was a golden shelter in the west, which could resist all external evils and perhaps alleviate their symptoms, so they suggested that these villagers go to Xiashan City.
Because these people's symptoms ranged from mild to severe, those who could still move carried those with more severe symptoms on their backs, and in the end only the village chief and Yuan Chu were left. Without saying a word, Yuan Chu asked Huo Fu to carry the village chief on his back and let them start first. He would naturally catch up with them when his injuries were better.
Although Huo Fu couldn't bear it, he really couldn't delay it at the moment and could only do as he was told. A group of people hurried to Xiashan City, and then what happened next...
"Sigh... I was just a step late. I didn't expect that Huo Fu and the others did not die from the sand poison, but fell into the hands of the bad guys... It's true that people are as heart-warming as poison!" Yuan Chu smiled bitterly.
"Haha, this has always been the case in the world... The root of all evil is simply the human mind..." Mu Fengchun said, "Since we already know that this Wood Spirit Pearl is in Zhao Xiaozhong's body, it is not in vain for us to come here. !”
"Guys, the sky is getting brighter. It is inconvenient for us to leave here, so we can only send you here. The mountain on Jinsha Temple is steep, so please be more careful!" Yuan Chu led Mu Fengchun and the others to the gate of Xiashan City, and met him. Huofu said goodbye with fists clasped side by side.
"Thanks to the two eldest brothers for clearing up the confusion this time. It's just a pity that we have different paths and it's really hard to see each other. Farewell!" You Ya nodded and waved to leave.
The three of them left Xiashan City and headed north. Not far away was a stretch of dangerous peaks and ridges. The strange rocks were jagged in the unknown sky, like monsters with teeth and claws. They were very hideous and terrifying, making people shudder. Fortunately, when they came to the bottom of the mountain, the sky had already brightened up, which made them feel a little chilly. However, walking on the mountain road still made their spines feel chilly.
"Daughter, I heard you say that you are very familiar with this place, but do you still remember the route up the mountain?" Mu Fengchun wanted to take out the compass to check the direction, but saw that the pointer was spinning as fast as a windmill. If the compass was not slightly heavy, I'm afraid if he lets go, the compass will fly into the sky.
"I was brought here by a senior brother Yuanhuai a long time ago when the Yuhu Sect was destroyed. However, due to the rules of the Jinsha Temple, I was placed at the foot of the northwest mountain to rest. Naturally, I am not very familiar with it, Mr. Mu, but What's wrong?" Youya pinched her chin and said.
"Alas, I have long heard that this dragon-killing place has entrance and exit, death and life, and I just thought it was an ordinary person's exaggeration... I didn't expect it to be really vicious when I saw it today!" Mu Fengchun said as he walked towards a ferocious man. Next to the corner of the rock branch, he pointed to the missing corner above and said with an ugly face: "We passed by this place half an hour ago. If I hadn't felt something was wrong and marked it, I might not have noticed it for a while."
"Old liar, what do you mean? Could it be that we have been running around in circles for so long?" Yu Siling asked.
"That's right..."
"Are you mistaken? I remember that we have been climbing up. How could we return to the previous place?"
After hearing this, Mu Fengchun reached into the groove under the corner of the rock branch and took out a cone-shaped rock. He fastened it tightly on the missing corner. Only then did Yu Siling feel that something was wrong. Something is wrong.
"Every natural place has its own Feng Shui pattern. There is a saying: There is no perfect path for man. Another meaning is that there is no absolute dead end anywhere in the world. Although it seems complicated in front of you, under your feet There is a 'vein' hidden in it to carry out the entrance and exit. As long as you can find the direction of this vein, you can find the exit according to its instructions."
"Since you said there is no absolute dead end, let's try one by one. Can we always find the correct route?" Yu Siling asked uncertainly.
"Although there is no dead end, there is a word called 'dilemma', which is the situation we are facing now. The original strong dragon image here has naturally formed strong veins. The star peaks are very different, but there are hidden rules. There are gates of life on all sides of the road. However, the coming of the heavenly fire has cut off all the original life channels. The road is broken and slanted. Unknowingly, it will lead people astray and trap them in it. It is really difficult to escape. Birthday…”
"Old Mu, I saw you just took the compass, doesn't it work?" You Ya said.
"Look at the smooth holes in the rocks here and the charred surface. They have been changed by the fire from the sky, producing an energy that can change the direction of Feng Shui. This energy field is invisible and intangible, so I call it 'potential'. And this' Shi' can just affect the compass, covering up the natural Feng Shui, that is, the existence of the original 'shi', so it is no longer possible to find the correct pulse and find the door of life from the instructions of the compass."
"Old liar, how about we go back the way we came and make plans?" Although Yu Siling was confused, she probably knew that they were in trouble now and suggested in a low voice.
Mu Fengchun shook his head, but his brows furrowed even more tightly: "Now even if we return the same way, we will probably still return to this position, not to mention that the third prince and the others may still be trapped here, so naturally I can't just sit back and watch. leave it alone."
After hearing this, Yu Siling remembered the purpose of her trip, nodded solemnly, and the three of them walked cautiously along the mountain road together.
Everywhere you look at this mountain is rugged and rocky. There are almost no plants growing, let alone any shade. However, a few people climbing up it always feel that the shadows above their heads are shrouded and it is very cold.
After walking for a while, there was not even a trace of anyone passing by, let alone a human figure. Yu Siling lost her temper and asked: "Old liar, we have gone so long, but there is not even a single person." I haven’t seen them either, maybe they haven’t been here at all, it must be your own fault!”
Mu Fengchun was also a little impatient when he heard this, and said with some displeasure: "Little White Snake, you usually call me an old liar, forget it, but this time you questioned me again and again on the road, do you think I am willing to be here?" Are we going around in circles with you in this place where a bird doesn't shit?"
"Old liar, I advise you to speak politely!"
"You're polite? It's a joke! If you treat me like an old man, will I be afraid of you?"
Youya was groggy and a little tired on the way, and she was a little angry when the two people quarreled. Just when she was about to scold her, she suddenly felt a heat on her neck. She suddenly felt pain, and quickly put her neck on it. He took off his accessories and lowered his head to find a bloody mark on the middle of his chest from the half-sealing magic bead.
This half of the Demon-Sealing Pearl was left to her by the Blood Lord Qie that day. Unfortunately, it somehow broke into pieces while she was sleeping. Fortunately, this half of the Pearl was still well preserved, so Youya simply hung it around her neck. , I didn’t expect to be inexplicably scratched by this magic bead at this time.
Looking at the slightly glowing Demon-Sealing Pearl, Youya suddenly became energetic. Only then did she notice the strangeness around her. She quickly pulled Mu Fengchun and Yu Siling away from each other and fed them a pill. , their expressions returned to normal.
"Daughter, just...what happened just now?" Mu Fengchun was stunned, "Why did I lose such a big temper?" Yu Siling also looked embarrassed, and she and Mu Fengchun looked at You Ya.
Youya walked towards the rock wall next to her, rubbed her hand on the black stone, and then gently rubbed it under her nose a few times before saying, "It turns out that there is something wrong with this stone because of the terrain!"
"what happened?"
"The stone material here is special. Although it is no different from ordinary stones under normal circumstances, after being burned at high temperature, it will emit a hallucinogenic gas. This gas will disrupt people's sense of direction. If left for a long time, it will It will affect people's emotions. I think we must have been affected by this gas just now, so this kind of thing happened..." You Ya said slowly.
"No wonder no matter how I calculate, I can't find the right path. It turns out that I still have such a skill! In this case...can you trust me again and allow me to calculate again?"
"Although I call you an old liar, I still believe in you after all. From now on, I will go wherever you say you want to go! If you can really find the exit, I won't call you an old liar anymore!"
"Is this true?"
"Of course it's true!"
