"As for higher-level Li Qi or things above Li Qi..."
"Leave aside the fact that most Li Qi are crazy and irrational. Even if a conscious Li Qi occasionally appears, with Li Qi's nearly invincible strength, is it still necessary to be invisible?"
"Then what do you mean..."
After listening to Chen Xiaoyao's explanation, with Zhao Ping's ability to understand, he remained silent for a moment. He seemed to understand, and he vaguely guessed something.
If the bespectacled man had realized something, Chen Xiaoyao, who never gave up until he finished speaking, did not give the other party a chance to guess. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and added again: "Yes, the soul has no ability to appear, and the lonely soul does not know how to be invisible. Extremely The rare conscious Li Mei disdains invisibility, so in this case, the weak but conscious Li Mei actually becomes the most threatening existence!"
………
"After staying in the cursed space for so long, I think you two should have a deep understanding of Li Qi. Li Qi is very powerful and can kill a living person instantly with his own tyrannical strength. However, Qi Mei is different. Under normal circumstances, he will be affected by his own strength. , unless there are a large number, a single mantis or solitary spirit cannot kill a living person instantly. The solitary spirit and solitary spirit do not have the ability to physically attack, and their method of attacking humans has always been to absorb the vitality of living people, thus eventually killing them. The whole process of killing people is relatively slow, so naturally, using various tricks and tricks to attack the living people without their knowledge is the best way of attacking the demon."
"Speaking of which, you may be surprised and surprised. Because the beetle has a certain degree of self-awareness, this thing knows that it is a beetle!"
Holding the Taoist talisman and watching his surroundings, Chen Xiaoyao talked eloquently and gave Zhao Ping and Yao Fujiang a heavy blow with an explanation.
"As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be able to fight a hundred battles. For humans, what matters is knowing the enemy. For worms, what matters is knowing oneself. Since worms know their own abilities better, this worm can deliberately make itself invisible or even hide its own Yin Qi and then disappear quietly. The sound sneak attack on the living person. The reason why I was hit just now was because I encountered a charcoal that knew how to hide its aura. As expected, the charla that attacked me before should have noticed that I was different from ordinary people, and even realized that I was different from ordinary people. You may not be able to defeat me in a frontal attack, so in order to destroy the three of us together, it has become the top priority to kill me, the only Taoist priest who can deal with Qi."
"About how the charisma arises..."
After saying that, Chen Xiaoyao paused for a moment, and finally said in an extremely solemn tone: "When a certain lonely soul kills a certain number of living people, it will gradually advance to become a char."
The above is Chen Xiaoyao's entire understanding of Qi Mei, and he fully informed the two people in front of him through detailed narration.
Unexpectedly, it was precisely this seemingly ordinary explanation that had devastating consequences. Zhao Ping's scalp went numb for a while!
Yes, from the other party's mouth, he now fully understands and completely knows what kind of thing the psilocybin is. If he has to use a certain word to describe the psilocybin, it is...
cunning!
Thinking of this, the man with glasses subconsciously gritted his teeth, turned his head and looked around, and muttered to himself: "It seems that getting the Soul Calling Banner is not as easy as imagined."
"Go, keep going."
After muttering to himself, Zhao Ping raised his hand to check the time. Without hesitation, Zhao Ping ordered everyone to continue moving. Then the three of them walked forward again, but this time they walked more carefully and cautiously than before, and they started fighting one after another. Be vigilant.
During this period, no one spoke or spoke. Except for their legs, which were still walking along the mountain road, oppressed by fear, the three of them could truly listen and see in all directions.
Unfortunately, a mountain road is a mountain road after all. Traveling through the mountains will never be as easy and comfortable as a flat bottom. As a few people continued to move forward, the mountain road became more and more rugged and difficult to walk, with weeds and rocks everywhere. Yao Fujiang even fell down during the process. Once, of course, this is not the point. The point is... After walking for about 15 minutes, there was a fork in the road ahead, two mountain trails leading to different directions. Although the vegetation in the mountains was dense, the three of them could still trace traces on the ground. I saw some clues and looked carefully, I saw that there were indeed two mountain paths leading in different directions ahead.
Seeing this, Chen Xiaoyao stopped instinctively, and the two people behind him also stopped, observed for a moment, and looked at each other a few times. For some reason, Chen Xiaoyao and Zhao Ping were both silent, and neither of them said a word. Only Yao Fujiang felt inexplicable. He scratched his head and then asked the two of them in a puzzled tone: "Huh? Let's go? Why don't you go?"
Hearing the urging from behind, Yao Fujiang, as the leader, Chen Xiaoyao waved his hand and replied: "Don't rush yet, I haven't decided which way to go."
"Huh?"
Before the intersection, Taoist Chen hesitated. Unexpectedly, Yao Fujiang was stunned after hearing this. His already suspicious face was further filled with question marks. Although he did not urge him, he still changed the topic and questioned: "Have you not thought about it? Hey, you are like this." Is the guy okay?"
As he spoke, he pointed at one of the paths on the left and continued: "Is there any need to think about this? You said before that the Judge's Temple is located in the northwest of the mountain. Since it is located in the northwest, we must take the path on the left? This is the only way. The road can lead directly to the northwest, so why do you still need to consider this? Unless you are a road addict."
Yao Fujiang's words are not unreasonable. As Chen Xiaoyao said earlier, the Magistrate Temple is located in the northwest of Yinshan Mountain. Since it is in the northwest, taking the nearest left path is undoubtedly the best way, unless you can't tell the difference between east, west, north and south. You are a road addict, otherwise the road on the right is definitely not the best choice. With the facts in front of you, what else would the other party consider?
So naturally, out of common sense, facing Chen Xiaoyao's hesitation and seeing the man with glasses hesitating, Yao Fujiang became confused. He became more and more confused as to why the two of them were holding back.
As the saying goes, if you don't understand, you have to ask. Seeing that the two people in front of him had not moved forward for a long time, and the longer they waited, they became more and more impatient. Finally, the flat-headed young man couldn't help it anymore, and was about to lift his feet to leave, but as soon as he lifted his feet, he didn't even wait for him to take a step forward. Take a step forward, Zhao Ping, who has been silent since he discovered the fork in the road, moves!
He raised his head and looked around, his eyes scanning the surroundings, and then his expression suddenly changed as if he suddenly sensed some danger. Then he opened his mouth and ordered the two people beside him in an urgent tone: "Take the road on the right! Quick!"
After saying these words, the man with glasses ran away!
It was inexplicable and without any warning. If only the man with glasses was alone, he never thought that as soon as Zhao Ping moved his front foot, Chen Xiaoyao actually seemed to notice it and ran away without saying a word, following closely behind him!
In an instant, two of the three executors ran away on the spot, running towards the path on the right without hesitation, towards the book.
He should not have chosen the wrong direction, and in the end only Yao Fujiang was left, leaving behind Yao Fujiang who was still stranded and confused.
"Here, you, you two..."
Incomprehensible, surprised and shocked, he wanted to open his mouth to ask the two people who were running farther and farther away, but before he could speak, through the corner of his eyes, through the peripheral vision, the next second, he saw, saw a scene, a scene:
Ahead, on the path on the left that he thought was correct before, a figure appeared.
I don’t know when it started, but a large figure appeared vaguely about a hundred meters ahead of the road!
Although the specific number cannot be calculated due to the distance, and although the appearance of the crowd is obscured by vegetation, there is still a real group of people in the path on the right, a group of people moving quietly and slowly!
Currently, he is moving continuously like this, approaching his position frequently. .
Seeing this, Yao Fujiang was suddenly stunned, and then...
Ding!
His eyes widened, his heart suddenly jumped, and a chill hit him. An extremely cold and biting chill suddenly hit his body from the soles of his feet. At this moment, Yao Fujiang understood. He finally understood why Zhao Ping had just asked the team to move to the right. I ran away, but it turned out that a group of hawks appeared in the path on the left at some unknown time!
In this already troubled and deserted Yinshan Mountain, I suddenly saw a group of 'people'. Let alone the executors, even ordinary people may not think that the other party is a human being. Since they are not human beings, the only explanation is that... Preliminary estimation is that dozens of locusts are moving towards him at this moment.
It is also worth mentioning that because of his experience in the Yin-Yang Road mission, after confirming that the other party was a Qin Feiren, the flat-headed young man subconsciously further guessed the identity of the Qi Qun.
Lonely soul!
Nine times out of ten, it is a lonely soul. The way it moves silently, the lifeless look with its head lowered, everything is exactly the same as the lonely soul wandering on the road of Yin and Yang!
Wow!
After seeing all this clearly, Yao Fujiang suddenly felt his limbs were cold and his scalp was numb, and he immediately ran away! Instinctively, he rushed to the path on the right and hurriedly chased Chen and Zhao in the direction they were running.
There is no doubt that the young man made the right choice. In a situation like this, any smart person would immediately change direction to catch up with his companions, and then join the large army.
Can……
I don’t know whether he went out this morning without reading the almanac or whether he was facing bad luck and was doomed. Just when the flat-headed young man quickly turned around and tried to run away, just when he planned to escape early while the worms were still some distance away from him, he just When he turned around, the first thing he saw was not the road or the back of his companions, but a face, a pale white face that occupied the entire field of view! ! !
"ah!"
………
Ta-ta-ta-ta!
Accompanied by bursts of rapid footsteps, mixed with the soft sound of stepping on weeds, Chen Xiaoyao and Zhao Ping, who are currently running desperately on the path on the right, are shocked and frightened, even though they have long known that there is something in Yinshan Mountain. There are many oysters, but how long has it been? Apart from the first encounter with the lynx, I didn’t expect to encounter a lynx after just a few dozen minutes of walking on the mountain road! Even if they are discovered and run away in time, it does not mean that they are safe. After all, no one is sure whether the swarm they just encountered will chase them, let alone whether they will encounter other crises again during the run, so for The only solution now is to run, run away quickly while being careful at the same time, at least as far away from the group of lonely souls as possible.
While running, Chen Xiaoyao was thinking this, Zhao Ping was thinking this, and was about to escape along the path to the end in one breath, but then...
"ah!"
At this moment, a shrill scream came from behind, directly reaching the ears of the two of them. .
Sure enough, when he heard the sound, Chen Xiaoyao, who was running in the front row, stopped suddenly. Due to the hasty stop and the narrow road surface, Zhao Ping almost ran into his back.
"What's wrong? Why don't you run away!?"
Ignoring the nervous urging of the bespectacled man, as soon as he stopped moving forward, Chen Xiaoyao walked around Zhao Ping and looked behind him. As far as he could see, he found that there was no one behind him!
Yao Fujiang didn't follow!
Not only did he not follow me, but now he has no trace of him! ? .
Seeing this, the young Taoist priest frowned and immediately asked Zhao Ping: "When we ran just now, didn't Yao Fujiang follow us?"
As expected, since he never cared about the life and death of others, how could Zhao Ping care about this matter? In addition, eager to escape, Chen Xiaoyao asked Fang Luo, and the man immediately replied: "So what? I gave a warning before leaving, but who can blame the guy for being slow to react and not following in time? Don't say this now." If it makes sense, why don’t you run away!?”
Xu was afraid that the other party would continue to block the way, so after saying this, the man pointed behind him, pointing at a large wave of figures that were following him at an unknown time a hundred meters away, and gritted his teeth and continued: "Look! The group of things behind you are following now. ! If you don’t run, it’ll be too late!”
"No, I'm going to turn back and have a look."
What!
Zhao Ping never expected that the situation would develop like this, nor did he expect that Chen Xiaoyao would have the courage to face the lonely souls. It is undeniable that young Taoist priests are capable of dealing with a small number of lonely souls, but please don't forget that what is being pursued now is not just one or two souls. Only, but nearly a hundred! Even if it can be forcibly dispersed with the help of Dao talismans, Dao talismans are consumables. Use one less one. If the number of swarms on the opposite side does not consume a lot of Dao talismans, don't even think about dispersing them. You must know that we have just entered the mountain now. If the talismans are consumed, If they are all exhausted, it will be difficult to move forward at that time, and there is no need to think about looking for the Judge's Temple to obtain the soul-calling flag.
Putting aside what the bespectacled man was thinking, Chen Xiaoyao made up his mind, turned around and ran, and actually rushed towards the swarm of hawks chasing after him from behind!
but……
Snapped.
He suddenly stretched out his hand, and just as the young Taoist priest turned around to return, Zhao Ping, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed the young man's shoulder! .
At this moment, looking at Chen Xiaoyao's puzzled and slightly angry eyes, Zhao Ping understood that the other party was really angry. He first took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, and then just faced the other party's gaze while patiently speaking. He explained calmly: "I know it was you who brought Yao Fujiang to the real world, so you don't want anything to happen to him, otherwise your conscience will be uneasy. Having said that, have you ever thought that even if you can dispel it with a large number of Taoist talismans? Chasing the swarm of oysters, the Taoist talismans must be exhausted, right? What about the rest? Don’t you care about the rest? Once you encounter the oysters again, you will have no means to deal with them, and this is not the most important thing..."
At this point, he hurriedly turned his head to look at the group of chasing oysters that were getting closer and closer, and then said something to Chen Xiaoyao, a cold rebuke that hit his soul:
"
The most important thing is that you seem to have forgotten something, the purpose of bringing him to the real world in the first place! "
"If Yao Fujiang can't even get rid of a low-level worm like a lonely soul, then he deserves to be killed by a worm! Even if you try your best to save him this time, so what? Without training, he will die sooner or later. Die in other supernatural missions! You must know that the wolf in the mission is more powerful and terrifying than the lonely soul, so believe in Yao Fujiang, believe in his ability, believe that the other party can survive on his own even if he does not rely on his teammates!"
“That’s all I have to say, it’s up to you whether you listen or not.”.
After finishing everything that needed to be said, Zhao Ping moved, released his grip on his shoulders, and immediately ran around the young man.
As for Chen Xiaoyao...
As if he had forgotten the crisis, as if he had ignored the swarm of hawks, he still stayed where he was, clenching his teeth and getting entangled. Indeed, as Zhao Ping said before leaving, it was all he who did it. It was he, Chen Xiao, who played tricks in the lottery. He used a trick to bring Yao Fujiang to reality, so he didn't want anything to happen to Yao Fujiang, otherwise he would have an uneasy conscience. However, what the man with glasses said later still made sense, that is, he neglected to take Yao Fujiang to Yinshan because he was worried about the other party's safety. The purpose of training courage is indeed that compared to the lone soul hawk, the hawk in the mission is scarier and more powerful. If Yao Fujiang can't even deal with these things and can't get rid of them, then even if he returns to the original route to save the opponent, it still doesn't make much sense. , what about the future? What should we do in the future? You can save the other person temporarily, but you cannot save the other person forever. The key is to rely on Yao Fujiang's own transformation, and no one else can intervene. So, at this moment, Chen Xiaoyao hesitated and wavered.
(Am I right or wrong to do this?).
(Yao Fujiang, don’t blame me, buddy. This trip to Yinshan is actually an exercise for you, a life and death trial to improve your courage and personal strength. If you can survive, you will be more comfortable in supernatural missions in the future. Transformation and improvement , then not only me, but also that Zhao Glasses will probably give you a high look, so...just live on, don’t die!)
Let's get back to the topic. Although there are many descriptions, in fact, from the moment Zhao Ping turned around and fled to Chen Xiaoyao making up his mind, the whole process only took less than 5 seconds. As expected, as the mind was made up, as his thoughts Persistence, the swarm of squid was about to chase after him. Chen Xiaoyao no longer hesitated, sighed, turned around and ran wildly, jumping into the mountains together with Zhao Ping who was fleeing in panic in front of him.
………
Yinshan is a wilderness mountain range near Fengdu. The reason why it is called "Yinshan" is said to come from a long history.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the intruder Li Zicheng led the Central Plains bandits to capture the capital. Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide and died for his country. Later, Jianzhou Jurchens entered the pass, defeated the bandits and then swept across the land of China. During their occupation of China, they caused thousands of massacres, including Fengdu. The difference between the massacre and the massacre is that although it was called Fengdu before the massacre, it actually took place in the mountains on the outskirts of the city. Tens of thousands of people in the city, regardless of age or sex, were massacred in the mountains by the Manchu captives.
There is nothing more miserable in the world than this. .
The ghosts of those who died in vain are still lingering, and those who die with hatred will turn into resentments. From then on, the mountains and forests on the outskirts of the city were filled with gloomy air, and every night the cries of wolves and howls of wolves echoed in the mountains. All those who entered the mountains without exception never returned. As time went by, Since then, rumors have spread that there are locusts in the mountains, and the nameless wild mountain has gradually been replaced by the "Yin Mountain". No one has dared to visit it for a hundred years, and it still remains today. It is said that only a wandering alchemist passed here during the Republic of China.
………
Hooray, hooray.
Ta-ta-ta-ta!
"Ah! Waaaah!"
The road is bumpy and the mountain wind is howling.
At this moment, mixed with the mountain wind and howling, Yao Fujiang was running quickly alone, aimlessly running on the mountainside covered with weeds and rocks. From his appearance, it seemed that something was chasing him behind him, but when he turned around, he When he looked, he saw nothing behind him.
There was no swarm of hawks following the young man as expected, no, nothing. At first glance, it was empty behind him, but that was not the case. After careful observation, he suddenly discovered that there was a hawk floating about 40 meters behind the young man, a white-faced man with disheveled hair. Female locust.
The female locust was chasing closely like this, following behind the young man! ! !
What happened is not complicated. As early as a minute ago, when Yao Fujiang discovered that Qi Qun was trying to follow the footsteps of Chen and Zhao, he turned around and saw a woman floating in front of him. No, it was not a woman. , but a ferocious female hawk whose entire body was as white as paper except for her hair.
The female cockroach had a ferocious expression, a bloodless face, and a pair of eyes that were completely empty. As you can imagine, he turned around hastily, and when he found that the female cockroach was so close to him, even so close that they were face to face, Yao Fujiang was so frightened that he peed. He was so frightened that he peed, urine flew everywhere on the spot, he screamed endlessly, and even almost fainted. .
Of course, fear is fear, and fear is fear, but after all, he is also an executor, a veteran who has experienced strong winds and waves. He knows what this means, and he also knows that he will definitely die if he faints and falls. So, a miracle It happened, even though his crotch was wet with semen, and even though his liver and gallbladder were broken, Yao Fujiang recognized the reality and the situation for the first time with his will to survive, and immediately ran away, rolling around like a rubber ball, turning around and running. I just wish my parents had less legs.
After running for a long time, running for a long time, until he lost his way, until his physical strength weakened, and after running for a certain distance, with a sense of luck, while panting, the young man couldn't help but look back. Unexpectedly, he didn't look back. Fortunately, at first glance, Yao Fujiang screamed and howled again, and the level of panic was far greater than before.
because……
Behind him is the female locator. The white-faced female locator, whose body is completely white, is chasing after her. Her thick hair is spread out in all directions, and her cold body is looming. She is currently floating in the air with her arms stretched out, chasing straight towards her!
Undoubtedly, seeing that the female locust was not going to let him go, Yao Fujiang could only bite the bullet and continue running wildly, trying to escape the opponent's pursuit with speed. After all, in his personal subconscious mind, he regarded the opponent as a lonely soul. In his impression, , the speed of the lonely soul is not fast, at least it cannot catch up with the humans who are running at full strength. In the past, when killing humans, they mostly relied on numbers to chase and intercept them.
The idea is always so beautiful, but the reality is always so cruel.
He originally thought that he could get rid of the female locust by running wildly, but as the chase continued, Yao Fujiang gradually discovered something was wrong. That is, running all the way, no matter how fast he accelerated or how long he ran, the white-faced female locust was always there. I couldn't get rid of him. Not only could I not get rid of him, but in the end, the distance between them became shorter and shorter! ! !
