Thinking of this, I took out a simple double-sided Bagua mirror from the backpack I carried with me.
"Brother Cheng, what is this, and how can I feel the ancient charm from it?"
Bai Ze had never seen a magic weapon like mine before, so he asked curiously.
"This is the Yin Yang Bagua Mirror. It was given to me by Granny Black. She told me that this initiation can dispel evil and return to the origin when used at critical moments."
I can't guarantee whether this Yin Yang Bagua Mirror can dispel the fog, but in this situation, I can only give it a try.
I opened the sunglasses, bit the blood off my fingertips, smeared it on the mirror, and started reciting a string of spells from memory.
As I chanted, the Bagua Mirror began to tremble, and golden light emitted from the mirror, penetrating the layers of fog and reaching the sky!
Soon, under the influence of the Bagua Mirror, the fog was completely dispelled, and our vision finally returned to clarity.
Xiaona and Xiaohui, who had been trapped in the fog just now, also saw us and walked over quickly.
After counting the number of people and confirming that everyone was fine, I was about to move on, but then I discovered that there were three forked roads ahead, leading to different unknown places.
I was a little confused about which way to go.
"Huh? What is this?"
At this moment, Xiaona suddenly pointed at Bai Ze and said, I followed Xiaona's gaze, and sure enough I saw a black handprint on Bai Ze's clothes!
This handprint is several times larger than an ordinary person's palm, and the fingers are bent in a strange posture, which seems to mean something.
"Xiaohui, come here!"
At this moment, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that there was also a black handprint on the side of Xiao Hui's clothes!
The handprints on Xiaohui's clothes were in another pose. I asked Xiaohui and Bai Ze to stand together and combine the two handprints.
As I looked at it, I suddenly discovered that these two handprints seemed to be an instruction mark!
The thumb and index finger of the left mudra and the index finger of the right hand form a "middle" shape.
In other words, is this mudra telling us to choose the middle fork?
After I told my analysis, Lonnie agreed very much, but Bai Ze raised doubts.
"Brother Cheng, I admit that your analysis makes sense, but what if this is a fingerprint left intentionally by a monster to lead us astray?"
I have to say that Bai Ze's doubts are very reasonable. If this fingerprint was left intentionally by a monster, then the fingerprint is probably pointing to the most dangerous road!
But now, for us, there are not many choices, and there is no guarantee that choosing the other two is the right path.
After thinking for a few seconds, I decided to take the risk!
"Let's follow this path first. If we encounter danger along the way, we should quickly retreat and choose another path."
My compromise plan was also the most suitable choice at the moment, and Bai Ze didn't raise any objections, so we rested for a while and walked towards the middle road.
This mountain road is extremely dangerous. It is not only narrow but also winding. If you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss.
I walked at the front of the team, and I was shocked every step of the way. I don’t know how long it took. Finally, I looked up and found that the road ahead was smooth. Here was the top of Dagushan Mountain!
Not far ahead, a simple temple stood there. On the eaves of the temple hung a plaque with three large gilded characters on it.
"Mountain Temple!"
Lonnie, Bai Ze, I looked at each other and led everyone into the mountain temple.
Inside the temple, right in front is a statue of a mountain god. The statue is covered with a thick layer of dust, and the beams are covered with cobwebs. No one has set foot there for who knows how many years.
We walked around the mountain temple and found nothing, so we walked out and looked at the environment around the mountain temple.
When I walked around to the back of the mountain temple, I couldn't help but be stunned.
There was a deserted forest in front of him, stretching as far as the eye could see. All the trees were dead and the branches were bare. There was a dead body hanging on every dead branch!
I don’t know how long these corpses have been hanging there. Some only have a skeleton left, and some have been completely transformed into mummies. At a glance, they are densely packed, with at least thousands of them!
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the dead bodies swayed and swayed with the wind, as if to welcome us uninvited guests.
This scene makes even me feel numb!
At this moment, I suddenly heard a faint cry for help coming from the deserted forest.
I looked around and saw two "dead corpses" with their mouths open, shouting at me.
Only then did I realize that those were not dead bodies, but two living people!
Lonnie reacted very quickly. Before I could say anything, she rushed towards the two people to rescue them.
But as soon as she ran a few meters away, countless withered vines suddenly spread over the ground, quickly wrapped around Lonnie's body, and swept her into the air!
"Ni!"
I couldn't help shouting and wanted to save Lonnie, but at this time, the withered vines on the ground started to swim toward us like countless snakes, at extremely fast speeds!
Before I could react, the boundless withered vines surrounded us. Bai Ze, Xiaona and Xiaohui were unable to dodge, and were all rolled up into the air by the withered vines, unable to move!
But for some reason, those withered vines seemed to turn a blind eye to me. When they spread around me, they would automatically avoid them, as if there was something about me that made them afraid!
After rolling up Bai Ze and the others, the withered vine began to tighten continuously. I watched helplessly as Bai Ze and the others found it more and more difficult to breathe. Xiao Hui could no longer hold on and began to roll his eyes.
If we don't take action, they will all die here!
Thinking of this, I no longer hesitated and took out the Yin Yang Bagua Mirror, turned over the negative side, and at the same time played a string of talismans in the air.
When the Bagua Mirror shined over it, the talisman burst into flames, and soon formed a sea of fire, quickly devouring the dead vines on the ground!
I used the Bagua mirror to control the fire. The fire avoided Lonnie and Bai Ze and only burned those weird vines.
Soon, the vines that entangled them were burned to ashes, and Bai Ze and others regained their freedom!
As the fire spread, the entire wild forest was bathed in a sea of fire, and crackling sounds were heard.
At this moment, I suddenly saw that the scene around me began to change. The wild forest and the mountain temple next to me disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Where we were standing was just a bare hilltop, nothing else.
It turns out that everything I saw just now was just an illusion!
