Ever since they arrived here, the sect leader has been looking for an exit. Now he has finally found a way out, but with such a result, naturally no one will be willing to accept it.
After listening to the explanation of the man in animal skin, Wu Ren also nodded slightly: "It's okay to let me agree, but the condition is that I go with you!"
The man in animal skin grinned: "Master Wu, after all, the sect leader still needs someone to take care of him. If you leave, I'm afraid no one will be able to feel at ease."
"You guys have a plan for a long time." Wu Ren glared at the man in animal skin, and then looked into the distance, "So the real purpose of coming to me this time is probably for him..."
The man in animal skin nodded: "Yes, the one I worry about the most is my twin brother. If... something happens to me, he... will have to be entrusted to you to take care of him."
"Crow's Mouth." Wu Ren rolled his eyes at the man in animal skin, "I'm warning you! If you feel something is wrong, return immediately. The sect master has not said this and that's all!"
"Don't worry!" The man in animal skin nodded repeatedly, "We are not fools, can we still take the initiative to die?"
"Bang!" Somehow, the sword practitioner lost his sword again and threw the weapon on a stone in the distance.
"Master Wu, I'm going to let you worry about this, stupid brother." The man in the animal skin didn't say anything more this time, and turned around and left while the man was picking up the sword.
"This Wave Sword Technique is to integrate oneself with the sword energy. If you take a step slower, you will catch up with the sword energy. If you take a step faster, you will be chased by the sword energy. So don't be distracted!" Wu Ren sighed slightly, and then Called out loudly.
"I remember." The man picked up the sword and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, then try again as I said..." Seeing that the man was still dazed, Wu Ren continued: "Don't think about it deliberately, try to combine the man and the sword into one!"
"Oh..." The man came back to his senses and hurriedly grasped the sword. But where he looked, there was already a crack on the sword.
…
"Why are you wearing a black cloth on your body?" someone with a mustache asked in the crowd.
"The color of this animal skin is too bright. I'm not worried about being discovered... Huh?" The man in the animal skin said, but suddenly looked up at the branches in the distance, and saw a crow with shiny black feathers landing on it.
When the crow saw the man looking over, he suddenly opened his mouth and let out a strange laugh. It was very loud in the dark night, as scary as a ghost crying.
"What's going on with you two? You're so late, I thought you were going to run away!" The mustache waved to the distance, calling the two guys who were poking their heads over.
"Don't mention it, it's all this guy's fault that made me so anxious that I broke my head. It's really unlucky!" one of them muttered.
"Okay, since everyone is here, let's get started!" The mustache looked around, then waved his hand in front of the animal-skin man: "Hey! What are you looking at there?"
"Ah!" The man in animal skin was startled. When he came back to his senses, he saw that the crow had disappeared without a trace. "You...didn't you hear?"
"What did you hear?" the mustache asked curiously.
"Call, crow's cry..." the man in animal skin said nervously.
"Hahaha... You just like to joke. Where can there be crows here? Stop scaring them, let's go!"
"Am I really blinded?" The man in animal skin scratched his head and could only put aside his doubts, took a deep breath and led the way.
A group of ten of them took advantage of the darkness and arrived in front of the black line connecting heaven and earth in a short while. They told each other, and then they went into groups in pairs, back to back, and hid in it.
Perhaps because we had just entered the entrance, the situation inside was not as dangerous as imagined. Several people lit torches and continued to move forward along the road under their feet with the help of light.
Although there was no wind here, the black water on both sides was roaring and washing the ground beneath their feet.
Someone held a torch and looked into the water, but couldn't see anything except his own reflection.
"Watch the road!" With quick eyes and quick hands, the mustached man pulled the man holding the torch back. After everyone took a closer look, they realized that the road ahead had been divided into two. If he continued to go forward, the man would probably fall. Go in.
"Where should we go next?" Seeing the two roads in front of them disappearing into the same darkness, one on the left and the other on the right, some people suddenly ran out of ideas.
"At this point, we can only act separately..." Mustache held his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "You five brothers will go over there, and the five of us will go over here... And the distance between these two roads is not far. When encountering any situation, everyone must say hello to each other!”
"Okay, be careful on the road!" The other five people nodded, and then walked to the other side...
At the beginning, the road underfoot was quite wide, but later on, it could only accommodate two people walking side by side.
"The road on our side has become narrower. What's the situation on your side?" Someone from the mustache side said.
"..."
But what responded to them was the sound of rushing water.
"Hey! Are you okay?" On the way, the two groups of people kept communicating, but just after this man was silent, the other party suddenly stopped responding.
"Can you please be quiet!" The man in animal skin was inexplicably uneasy and a little upset by the noise from this man.
"Really, can you save some energy! You were the only one who talked a lot along the way, and the people on the other side are probably bored to death by you!" The mustache also echoed.
The person who spoke was scolded by both of them at the same time, and he also smiled awkwardly. He waved the torch and felt relieved when he saw the other person responded in the same way.
"Have you seen it?" The mustached man glanced at the fire in the distance and asked in a low voice to the animal skin man beside him.
"Oh." The man in animal skin was a little absent-minded and responded casually.
"Then do you see clearly?" the mustache asked.
"What do you see clearly?" The man in animal skin was stunned for a moment, not knowing what crossword puzzle the mustache was playing.
"Look carefully..." The man with the mustache pulled the man in animal skin and walked a few steps quickly, and then he said, "Look around more, and be careful not to miss the fork in the road."
"Okay." The man holding the torch nodded and lowered the torch slightly.
The man in animal skin was puzzled, but when he saw that the fire in the distance had also decreased a little, he immediately understood: "Ah! You mean..." Seeing the mustache making fun of him, the man in animal skin hurriedly dealt with it. The sentence was perfunctory, and then he lowered his voice and said: "You mean, those people opposite are actually our reflections!"
"Not bad..." The mustache nodded, "Also, if you take a closer look, are there any differences?"
The man in the animal skin narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, then he was startled and was about to turn back, but the mustache hurriedly pulled him back: "Don't look around, keep walking!"
"What's going on? You...when did you find out?" The man in animal skin felt like he was sweating all over his body, and his voice was trembling.
"I just realized that..." The mustache said with a solemn expression, "No matter what, it's better not to alarm him first."
The animal-skin man was puzzled just now, and felt that although the reflection was strange, it was not threatening. But after he took another look, he only felt his scalp numb, because in the reflection, there was a sixth figure behind them...
"Could we be overthinking it..." The animal skin man felt a chill on the back of his head as he walked further, "Maybe he is one of ours."
The mustache shook his head and said: "Before this situation occurred, I had observed the number of people on the opposite side. Even if someone turns back halfway, there is no reason to appear on our side silently in such a short period of time!"
"Then what should we do? We can't let this threat always exist, right?" The man in animal skin couldn't help but take action.
"Be patient! After all, this 'sixth man' has been following him for so long without making a move, so we'd better not provoke him before we figure out the truth..." the mustache said.
"Okay...ah!" The man in animal skin was about to say yes, but felt something being put on his shoulder, and he exclaimed.
Just as he was about to turn around, he only heard a splash as the torch fell into the water and was extinguished.
At the moment when the light disappeared, the man in animal skin vaguely saw a cold light piercing from in front of the sixth person, and he also shouted loudly: "Bold monster! Pretend to be a ghost! Go to hell!"
The animal-skin man was capable. At this critical moment, he didn't care about fear. He raised his palm and pushed towards the darkness with overwhelming force.
"Stop it! It's me! It's me!" The man behind him felt a fierce wind passing by, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He hurriedly took out the fire stick and blew it near his mouth, illuminating his face.
"Where are the people! Where are the people! Get out of here!" The man in the animal skin did not look at him, but grabbed the fire certificate and ran rampant through the crowd, but no matter how he looked for it, he could not find the existence of the sixth person.
"What's going on?" The mustached man was startled by the animal skin man's reaction. He hurriedly comforted the latter, and then asked the person who was "causing trouble".
"Sorry..." The man didn't expect the animal-skin man's reaction to be so violent, and he was a little nervous, "I tripped over something just now, and..."
There were still waves in the water next to it, but the mustachioed man took the animal skin man's fire stick and shined it on the ground, only to find that the ground was smoother than the water. Where could there be anything that could trip someone?
"It's really strange. Just now I clearly felt something hooking my ankle..." The man was talking when he suddenly saw ripples on the water's surface and something rising from the water. "You guys Look! What is that?"
Mustache forced himself to approach Huo Zhezi, only to find that what was floating on the water was a sword scabbard!
He was about to get closer and take a closer look, but suddenly he saw a flash of light on the water, and several faces emerged...
"Ouch!" Upon seeing this, Mustachio almost threw the Huozhezi away. Fortunately, he could still remain rational and knew the importance of the Huozhezi, so the object was saved.
"It turns out this guy is hiding in the water! Watch his move!" The man in animal skin glared and was about to take action, but was stopped by someone next to him.
"Mustache, why do I think they look familiar the more I look at them?"
"Really?" As the ripples on the water gradually dispersed, the faces of those people became clearer. When he saw this, the mustache exclaimed: "Ouch! How could they... how could they be under our feet? Hurry and save people!"
Saying that, the mustache quickly reached out and touched the water, but the result was that the monkey fished for the moon in vain...
"Wait!" A taciturn man behind them suddenly stopped the movements of several people.
The person speaking learned lip reading by himself because he contracted an ear disease the day after tomorrow. As soon as he saw the situation in the water, he noticed something abnormal and hurriedly put his palm on his throat and spoke to stop it.
"What's wrong?" Mustache asked.
"They...are telling us to stop!"
