(Where is Cheng Ying? Where is she?)
(He was still huddled in the corner before he got closer, so why did He Fei and I get so close...)
(Huh? As soon as you get close...)
(near?)
I don't know if some idea came out of suspicion. He pondered for a moment. The next second, Chen Xiaoyao came to his senses first and suddenly raised his head before He Fei. As he raised his head, the young Taoist grabbed He Fei's arm without any warning! Then he forced the other party to retreat hastily, retreating at the same time, as if to avoid something and to verify something, until the two of them retreated a few meters away, until they returned to their original footing, looked at the corner again, and took a closer look. I saw something vaguely appearing in the corner of the wall, something unclear.
A ripple, a ripple in the air caused by a stone falling into water.
At this moment, this group of ripples covered the corner of the wall in a spherical shape, covering the entire area.
………
Under Chen Xiaoyao's hasty pull, the two returned to their previous position, which was four meters away from the corner where Cheng Ying was sitting, and stabilized their bodies. He Fei turned his head and glanced at him in confusion. Chen Xiaoyao didn't care. Instead of flying eyes, he stared straight ahead from beginning to end. While staring at the corner, he said in a solemn tone: "Look there now."
He Fei turned the corner again as Chen Xiaoyao said, but when he looked at it, he saw that Cheng Ying, who had disappeared before, reappeared in the same place!
Not only that, if you observe carefully, you can further find that the other party's entire body is also wrapped in a group of less obvious ripple bubbles.
(Could it be that this is...)
Seeing this, He Fei was shocked. Chen Xiaoyao, who had discovered it earlier, scratched his head and asked, "Huh? What is this thing?"
"Illusion is a false deception that is more terrifying than hallucination, and time passes very quickly in the illusion. Cheng Ying is currently trapped here. She can neither get out nor contact the outside world. Only I can contact her with the ring. "
In the corridor, because he was anxious and extremely nervous, in a hurry, when asked, He Fei told the young Taoist priest the cause of the incident in the shortest possible description. Not to mention, Xu Shi's identity as a Taoist priest was very good, so He Fei's explanation was brief. But Chen Xiaoyao still quickly understood the meaning. After thinking for a while, he nodded his head and continued: "Is it an absolutely real false illusion? So false that it can make people believe everything around them to be true? It seems that you said before This must be what Cheng Ying is trapped in, right? I just observed it, and this group of transparent bubbles should be the source of the illusion. If I hadn't discovered it in time and retreated in time, you and I would have been trapped inside like Cheng Ying at this moment. ”.
There is no doubt that Chen Xiaoyao is a very smart person, so how could He Fei's understanding ability be lost to that of the other party? Sure enough, after listening to the young Taoist priest's words, He Fei fully understood the meaning of the other party's words in just a moment. Through observation, it seems that this illusion is a continuous ability that can cover a certain range, and the covering range is not large. The coverage area is only about a few meters at most. Of course, what Chen Xiaoyao said above is indeed true. You must not get close to the illusion area. Once you get too close, you are very likely to be involved in it like the person who was recruited. Fortunately, Chen Xiaoyao just React promptly and act swiftly, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
As for why the other person disappears when you get close to Cheng Ying, but can be seen again when you move further away? It is nothing more than a deception attached to the illusion. Its purpose is to hide the victim as much as possible so that the outside world cannot detect and rescue the victim, thereby trapping the victim alive.
(If my prediction is correct, this should be the reason.).
After thinking about this, He Fei couldn't help but raised his head and glanced at Chen Xiaoyao, who was always frowning next to him, and thought that this newcomer is really not simple. Although he is usually informal and has a funny personality, unexpectedly this person is brave. But he is extremely powerful, not to mention his powerful kung fu, and he seems to actually know some Taoism. Although at first when Chen Xiaoyao claimed to be a Taoist priest, he did regard him as a magic stick for cheating people with food and drinks. However, after experiencing the scene just now, Unknowingly, He Fei's view of this person changed and he redefined him.
Let's get back to the topic. At this moment, in the corridor, the two of them were standing on the same spot, standing four meters away from the corner, staring at Cheng Ying in the circle. Through observation, it could be clearly found that Cheng Ying in the illusion was depressed and weak. Unbearable, seeing this, He Fei was very anxious. He lowered his head and looked at his watch and found that 5 minutes had passed since he went downstairs, and the time in the illusion was much faster than the real time. If calculated using the internal time, the illusion A few more hours should have passed.
Ding!
His heart trembled, seeing that Cheng Ying was about to lose his hold. Finally, He Fei, who had never thought of a solution, was unwilling to wait any longer, and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "No! She must be rescued as soon as possible!"
He Fei was anxious, but Chen Xiaoyao, who had been frowning and staring next to him, shook his head and poured cold water on it: "What? Save people? How to save them? I just observed for a while, originally looking for flaws, but it took me a long time to find out. There are almost no loopholes in this so-called illusion. The only one that can barely be considered a loophole is that it shouldn’t last too long. Maybe, maybe the only way is to wait until dawn and let it dissipate on its own.”
wait?
Let it dissipate on its own?
What a joke! ?
As the saying goes, the authorities are confused and the beholder is clear. It is undeniable that what the young Taoist said from the perspective of an onlooker is reasonable and correct. Perhaps the illusion will not last long, but he still ignored the most important point, that is...the illusion is different from In reality, time passes extremely quickly in illusions! .
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Xiaoyao said this, He Fei was furious. He pointed at the corner and refuted him loudly: "Dissipate by itself? One night? Don't be kidding! I said before that the time inside is different from the real time. Half an hour is equivalent to several days in the outside world. There are still several hours until dawn. Do you think Cheng Ying can survive until dawn? "
(It seems that he cares about the other party...)
Watching He Fei's angry expression and listening to the young man's angry tone, in the silence, Chen Xiaoyao could clearly feel that He Fei cared very much about the woman named Cheng Ying, more than any other team member. Yes, a woman, a woman. In fact, Chen Xiaoyao had already known that Cheng Ying was a daughter from the first time he met Cheng Ying. Since the two of them didn't understand each other at first, they had a fight because of their rude words. So he immediately surrendered and changed his name. Maybe he really didn't know how to end the situation at that time.
(Master, Master, it seems that these inheritances you have left me can no longer be preserved.).
After his thoughts had progressed to this point, and after listening to He Fei's impetuous words, Chen Xiaoyao sighed, hesitated for a moment, and finally
Finally, he opened his mouth as if he had made some kind of decision: "Since I can't wait that long, then I..."
Can……
Just when Chen Xiaoyao was about to make a move, just when he was about to express his personal decision, before he finished speaking, He Fei, who was already restless beside him, suddenly moved! Without saying a word, he took out the Damo beads from his pocket and strode forward, heading straight towards the phantom ripples that trapped Cheng Ying.
(Is there nothing you can do about Mahler Gobi? Is there really nothing you can do? I still don’t believe it!)
Damn it!
Seeing this, Chen Xiaoyao was shocked.
Yes, through the earlier exchange on the train, Chen Xiaoyao and the other newcomers had learned about the props from He Fei. At this moment, looking at the Buddhist beads in He Fei's hand, although he didn't know what it was used for, he I still understand that props are very expensive and most of them have a limit on the number of times they can be used. They are often used by executioners to save their lives in critical moments. I didn't expect that He Fei would be willing to use his personal props for others today!
What is this equivalent to?
It is equivalent to giving the precious life-saving opportunity to others, giving it to the other party!
This guy……
In an instant, Chen Xiaoyao was shocked, truly shocked by He Fei's behavior! After all, we have just entered the 4th day of the supernatural mission, and there are still 6 full days to go. God knows that we will not encounter danger in the future, so we have used the props in advance just in case...
brush!
Thinking of this, in the flash of lightning, Chen Xiaoyao strode forward, and with an astonishing speed that was not inferior to Cheng Ying's, he jumped in front of the young man, grabbed He Fei's wrist, and when he stopped the other man from moving forward, he asked on the spot: "You What are you doing? Do you want to use props to force it? Even if you use props, you may not be able to save Cheng Ying, right? And I heard that there is a limit to the number of times the props can be used. If you fail to do this, there will be nothing but yourself involved. Meaningless!”
He Fei shook his head and argued: "Indeed, I admit that the beads in my hand can only be used once per mission, but the effect is indeed much more powerful than ordinary props. I believe that as long as I use it, I will be able to break the illusion!"
Faced with Chen Xiaoyao's questioning, He Fei did not lie. Now the supernatural props called Damo Beads in his hand are truly extraordinary. They are a special prop obtained in the world of the Midnight Bell. They were originally The eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, Jianzhen Monk, has extremely powerful ability to exorcise demons. He can even break the large barrier set by the unsolvable evil spirit Sadako. It is conceivable that when faced with the illusory space in front of him, He Fei is very interested in the Damo Bead. Naturally, I have absolute confidence.
"Let go! Let go quickly, Cheng Ying can't hold on much longer!"
Along with the verbal scolding, mixed with hard struggle, He Fei's intention has already become extremely obvious, that is...
Since we can't think of a way to save people, we might as well use props to forcefully break it. .
However...
Even though He Fei had given him an explanation, even though the young man was extremely anxious at the moment, Chen Xiaoyao still did not let go of He Fei's wrist.
"Why don't you let go? Cheng Ying can't wait any longer!"
Seeing that the other party refused to let go, the college student became more and more angry and was about to continue scolding him. Inadvertently, He Fei noticed a slight change, a subtle change from the young Taoist priest.
In the field of vision, Chen Xiaoyao's cynical face gradually turned solemn, showing solemnity for the first time. Then, Chen Xiaoyao slowly closed his eyes, remained silent for two seconds, opened his eyes again, took a deep breath, and finally turned his head to his side. He Fei said something:
"To be honest, He Fei, you really make me look at you in a different light. I have never met a guy like you who is willing to risk his life for his companions in the past. Well, in this case, and I am now considered a member of the team. Member, so..."
"Let me break this illusion!"
Um?
What does it mean to become a blockbuster without even singing? This is called not making a sound, but it is already a blockbuster. After Chen Xiaoyao said this, He Fei was stunned for a moment, and then asked with confusion on his face: "What did you say? Do you have a way to break the illusion?"
Chen Xiaoyao nodded calmly and replied: "Yes, but I can't guarantee that it will be 100% effective. If it really doesn't work, you can use props before it's too late."
"Back off, let me come!"
After saying that, he let go of He Fei's wrist. At the same time, the young Taoist priest's already solemn face also became more serious at this moment. He reached into his arms and took out a Taoist talisman like lightning, but...
Although the talisman paper is talisman paper, if you take a closer look, you will see that the paper in front of you is filled with cinnabar and traditional Chinese characters. At least it is no longer the yellow talisman that young Taoist priests used to use. Instead, it is a black talisman as dark as ink. Paper!
Sure enough, He Fei was puzzled when he saw the color of the Taoist talisman in Chen Xiaoyao's hand was different, and instinctively asked: "What is this in your hand..."
"hey-hey."
It is said that nature is easy to change but hard to change. Upon hearing He Fei's curious inquiry, Chen Xiaoyao's expression changed in an instant. The solemnity just now disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a proud face. First he grinned, and then answered like a show off. : "This is a super awesome Taoist talisman."
He Fei was still stunned and subconsciously asked: "Tao talisman? Is the black one considered a Tao talisman?".
Yes, in He Fei's personal impression, whether in movies, TV shows or in reality, Taoist priests' Taoist talismans are all made of yellow paper, and there are often some incomprehensible cinnabar incantations written on them, but now Chen Xiaoyao is holding this The so-called Taoist talisman is black. Don't talk about yourself, I guess no one has ever seen a black Taoist talisman, right?
He Fei was suspicious all around, but how could Chen Xiaoyao not see that the other party was suspicious? So naturally, as soon as He Fei finished speaking, the young Taoist priest followed closely and explained:
"This talisman is a special Taoist talisman made by my master during his lifetime. It is named the evil evil talisman. The specific production method is quite complicated and cannot be compared with ordinary Taoist talismans. First, you need to find a special paper that is not easy to be damaged, and then use black dog blood, rooster blood, etc. The blood, ox blood, turtle blood and human blood are soaked in the five kinds of evil-repelling blood for seven to forty-nine days. After taking it out, it is dried in the sun. The paper will turn black after drying. However! After all this is done, it is just Even if half of the process is completed, a Taoist practitioner still needs to consecrate it with a special spell before it can be completely completed. During the consecration period, the consecrator's mind and energy will also be consumed. After completion, the entire Taoist talisman will be completely black, and it has a strong effect of repelling worms and evil spirits. It is a powerful tool for exorcising evil in my Maoshan Taoist sect. Unfortunately, the production process is extremely cumbersome and time-consuming, so when I sorted out his master's belongings after his death, I only found three of them. It is worth mentioning that the user must have Taoist skills. The power of nature is finally triggered by one's own blood as a medium and cannot be used by ordinary people."
Chen Xiaoyao explained a lot incessantly, which made He Fei dumbfounded. The college student was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the art of Maoshan Taoism was so complicated?
Of course, complexity is complex, and tedious is tedious.
Now is not the time to talk about this. He looked at the corner in front of him and saw that Cheng Ying was getting more and more depressed. How could He Fei still want to listen to Chen Xiaoyao's endless talk when he was so anxious? He waved his hand and urged: "Hurry! Time is running out!"
"Don't worry, I'll do it right now!"
He nodded happily and said the last words to He Fei. Then, as his expression returned to solemnity, Chen Xiaoyao moved and made a series of weird movements that are difficult for ordinary people to understand:
Pfft.
His brows were furrowed, his eyes were slightly closed, he reached out and bit his index finger, and then quickly wrote on the surface of the Taoist talisman. After writing the words, the young Taoist priest began to walk around, moving left and right along the Four Symbols and Bagua, holding the talisman in his left hand as he walked. His right hand kept making gestures at the black Taoist talisman, and he was also chanting a certain Taoist mantra quickly:
The thunder, thunder, earth, and fire have no way out, and all the images are returning to their own wretched tribulations.
Don't forgive the vast abyss of the secluded mountains, and don't forgive the injustices of the world by hundreds of worms.
Break away thousands of grudges and eternal kindness, and ward off evil spirits with full power and righteousness.
Hurry like a law!
"Drink!"
Suddenly, as the last incantation was uttered, in an instant, mixed with roars and strange movements, Chen Xiaoyao, who had just closed his eyes and recited the incantation, suddenly opened his eyes, and the evil evil charm in his hand was suddenly thrown forward. Fly straight to the corner, to where the illusion is!
Wow!
In less than half a second, in less than half a second, the black Taoist symbol flew to the edge of the illusion and directly touched the translucent ripples!
Then, an amazing and weird scene happened:
The moment the evil talisman came into contact with the illusion, it seemed to be frozen in mid-air. However, if you look closely, you will find that although the talisman is stagnant, the surface of the talisman is madly releasing black light like a flood, and the ripples of the illusion are It also shook at the same time, and the already undulating ripples became more intense and rapid. A large number of fluctuations surged up and down, confronting each other and absorbing each other with the black light that was so close at hand!
This is……
Compete!
Yes, it's a competition. Although I can't understand what is happening between the two, I can still detect with the naked eye that the black mass and the ripples are competing with each other, pulling each other, one is charging desperately, and the other is blocking it with all his strength!
At this moment, time seemed to condense and space seemed to be frozen. Looking at the scene in the corner, Chen Xiaoyao had a ferocious expression, his left hand was clenched, and his forehead was full of veins. Only the index finger of his right hand, which was dripping blood, was shaking one after another, swinging frequently. It was as if the talisman paper in front of him was being controlled by it, causing the young man to do his best!
"Woo, woo..."
His teeth were almost broken, and he was growling deep in his throat. As he roared, countless beads of sweat fell down his forehead.
A stalemate is still a stalemate. .
No one can do anything to anyone, and no one can destroy anyone.
However, as the young Taoist priest exerted all his strength, as more and more beads of sweat flowed from his forehead, and as his bloody index finger struggled to control it, the black light expanded and became more fierce, creating ripples like a violent storm.
Until all the ripples dim, until the black light surges to its limit.
at last……
"break!!!"
Under Chen Xiaoyao's loud shout, the evil talisman in front of him that was originally on the edge of the illusion suddenly exploded!
Wow!
A large ball of flames exploded, and a large area of fire light exploded. Not only that, at the moment when the black Taoist talisman completely exploded, the illusory barrier full of ripples in front of it also instantly broke a big hole, and a person with enough strength appeared. High open breach!
The black Taoist talisman was destroyed by its own explosion and ripples.
Plop.
And as the Dao Talisman exploded, as the ripples were blasted out, behind, Chen Xiaoyao was instantly drained of all his strength, and his body went limp and fell to the ground on his back.
At the same time, Cheng Ying, who was always surrounded by walls inside the illusion, suddenly discovered something. In the darkness, she heard a loud noise. After the loud noise, she saw that the wall in front of her was gone!
No, no, it didn't disappear, but there was a big hole in the center of the wall. The moment the loud noise was heard, a big hole appeared out of thin air. After the hole appeared, external light shone in. Through the hole, with the help of the light, Cheng Ying saw, I saw the outside world, I saw the stairs, I saw... He Fei on the other side! ! !
Everything is relative. In the flash of lightning, through the crack in the wall, Cheng Ying saw He Fei, and He Fei also saw Cheng Ying, their eyes facing each other. This time, Cheng Ying's eyes were no longer blank, no longer helpless. Because the thing blocking her vision disappeared, it was no longer like before when someone was clearly close to her but she couldn't see him.
As for He Fei, seeing Cheng Ying make eye contact with him, his face showed joy. He Fei felt reassured. He was finally sure that Cheng Ying could see the outside world. .
Let’s not mention how happy He and Cheng were looking at each other. As soon as they fell to the ground, as soon as they threw themselves down, for some reason, they were obviously paralyzed, obviously exhausted and panting, but Chen Xiaoyao still struggled desperately, and then raised his head and said to He Fei. In one sentence, a feeble and nervous urging: "Hoo, ho, hurry, let Cheng Ying come out quickly, this hole will repair itself in a short time, time... is running out!"
Ding!
Like a bolt from the blue, like an electric current hitting him, He Fei was shocked when he heard Chen Xiaoyao's words. He didn't expect this illusion to be so terrifying and powerful. Even the evil talisman that Chen Xiaoyao had just blown into the sky could not completely destroy it. Although there was a big hole, I never thought it could be repaired by itself.
what does that mean? What does it mean? .
It means that the chance of survival is short, and it means that Cheng Ying is still not out of danger.
You must escape from the scope of the illusion as soon as possible, otherwise...
"Quick! Cheng Ying, come out quickly! This cave won't last long!"
"Hurry!!!"
With panic in his heart, mixed with trembling, He Fei roared, warning Cheng Ying desperately, shouting desperately, as for the cave, as for Cheng Ying... Although his brain was in a trance, although his body was weak, He Fei roared loudly The professional killer still heard clearly, heard the content clearly, heard the warning, and even further discovered that the area of the hole in the wall in front of him was slightly smaller than before.
The wall is repairing itself and restoring itself very quickly!
Then, Cheng Ying moved and instinctively got up from the ground in a hurry, but...
When she put her hands on the ground and tried to get up, she found that she couldn't get up and had no strength at all.
she……
He is now extremely weak and has lost all ability to move! ! !
(What a pity, what a pity really...)
(He Fei, goodbye, I will not forget you, I will never forget you.)
……………
