Chu Liang opened the way with a puppet, and the four of them flew forward together. They quickly passed through the courtyard. In a blink of an eye, they saw a fork in the road surrounded by mountains and rivers.
"How to go?"
This question suddenly stumped everyone.
It is absolutely impossible to divide your troops into several routes, and if you choose one of the wrong routes, you may miss the target you are looking for. But there is no guidance, so do we have to rely on luck?
Chu Liang pondered for a moment and said to Jiang Yuebai: "Senior Sister Jiang, let the female ghost out."
"Let her go?" Although Jiang Yuebai didn't understand what he meant, he still flipped his palm and took the female ghost out.
"So you have captured her!" Chen Luo, who was on Ling Ao's back, was shocked.
He was seriously injured by this female ghost in white.
The female ghost in white remained silent.
Although these two had a grudge, at the moment, one was on Ling Ao's back and the other was under Jiang Yuebai's palm, and they were not in the mood to yell at each other.
Chu Liang asked the female ghost: "You said you would take us to hunt for treasures. The treasures you mentioned should be here, right? Where are they? Take us there quickly."
The female ghost in white looked around, and it seemed that she did not expect that they would arrive at the Shen family's abandoned garden. She thought for a moment and then pointed out a way: "This way."
"Let's follow her," Chu Liang said.
Everyone set off, and as they were walking, Jiang Yuebai asked a little uneasily: "Are her words credible?"
"Of course it's not credible." Chu Liang said calmly, "Others say there are resentful spirits and evil things here, but she is the only one who said there are treasures here. It's strange that such nonsense can be believed. She is probably trying to trick us."
"But..." He changed the topic, "Just because she wanted to trick us, she must have taken us to the most dangerous place here. If Senior Brother Xu and that girl Mu Xi are in danger, it is very likely that they will also There. Even if we know it’s a dangerous place, we still have to go and take a look.”
Jiang Yuebai nodded slightly after hearing what he said.
But the female ghost in white who was leading the way froze.
You two are saying this behind my back... Don't you think I'm stupid?
She immediately turned around and said: "Young heroes, what I said was not a lie, it was all..."
"Everything is true, right?" Chu Liang interjected: "The treasure you said about fulfilling your wish may not be true, but after you find it, you will probably pay a heavy price to fulfill your wish. There are no free berries in the world. I still understand this truth. We are in a hurry, so hurry up and take us to find that treasure or evil object to see what the mystery is. Otherwise, did you know that there is an old ghost named Fei in me? No more nonsense Throw you in and live with him for a few months.”
The female ghost in white glanced blankly at Chu Liang. Was what she said been seen through from the first word?
But she could only obey, turned around and continued to lead the way.
The road was quite flat, and after a while, we came to a courtyard wall. The middle section of this courtyard wall collapsed, leaving a dark gap that seemed to lead to another world.
Arriving here, Chen Luo suddenly shouted: "Mu Xi is right here!"
He held the badly withered laurel petals in his hand, and the petals were shining faintly. Since entering the waste garden, his petal has lost contact with Mu Xi, but now he can sense it again! It means that he is very close to her at this moment.
Chu Liang looked at the entrance of the cave and said, "It seems that we can only go in and take a look."
call--
Chu Liang Pioneer used a puppet to probe into the darkness, but once the puppet entered, it lost contact with his body.
"Secret realm?" He murmured.
This sudden disconnection was not due to an attack, but more likely because the two parties were no longer in the same world. Chu Liang's soldiers were not able to cross the secret realm.
"Forget it, I'd better go in and take a look in person." Chu Liang said resolutely.
Both Senior Brother Xu and the flower demon may be in danger inside. Although the situation is unknown, he is still ready to leave. Although it was dangerous here, he was still a little braver with the life-saving jade charm given to him by his master.
"I'll go with you." Jiang Yuebai said immediately.
"I have life-saving means, don't worry." Chu Liang said.
"I'm not worried if you go down by yourself..." Jiang Yuebai shook his head and said, "Besides, I am the chief, and I should be in front at this time."
Chu Liang looked at the concern in her eyes and was about to say something.
Ling Ao said over there: "Whichever of you two goes down, the people above will inevitably be worried, so let's go together, just leave me here to guard him."
"..." When he said it so bluntly, Chu Liang and Jiang Yuebai's faces suddenly turned red.
Jiang Yuebai turned around and said, "I will be worried even if you are from Shushan."
After saying that, he didn't look back and hurriedly got into the darkness.
Chu Liang also said repeatedly: "That's right."
After that, he jumped into it.
After the two of them went down, Ling Ao curled his lips and said, "If there is no evil in your heart, then what are you guilty of?"
Chen Luo looked like someone who had come before, nodded and said: "Indeed."
…
Red candles, happy characters, and colorful satin hanging high.
This is an old warehouse, where a maid in yellow is wiping dust. But her eyes were distracted. What was she thinking?
This is what Chu Liang and Jiang Yuebai saw when they landed together.
It's as if there is light and shadow playing in front of you, which seems real and illusory.
"Why can the young lady be so beautiful? Why can I be born as a plain-looking maid, but she can be loved by thousands of people... Even brother Su Qian wants to give her a hairpin... If she is not married Wife, didn’t you just take away Su Qian’s brother?”
"We are two childhood sweethearts, why don't we take a look at her?"
"man……"
She was wiping absentmindedly, but suddenly she accidentally knocked over a box on the shelf. The long wooden box fell to the ground with a bang, which startled her.
She looked down and saw a pure white porcelain bottle with a high neck rolled out and spun around on the ground several times. Fortunately, it didn't break.
The maid in yellow was about to put the porcelain bottle back when she suddenly heard an old voice coming from it: "Do you have a wish?"
"I..." The maid in yellow was startled, but she seemed to be bewitched by some force. She didn't feel scared first, but really thought about her wish, "I want to be a young lady..."
"I can make your wish come true. All I need is a drop of blood. If you put your blood in, your wish will come true..." That voice was full of temptation.
"Really?" The maid in yellow was stunned. After hesitating for a moment, she actually bit her finger and dropped a drop of blood into the porcelain bottle.
call out--
In an instant, dazzling black light surged out from the mouth of the porcelain bottle, converging into the figure of a rickety old man.
The old man gently pressed his hand on the head of the maid in yellow, and saw the black light engulfing her, and it took a long time to dissipate. And after that, the maid in yellow turned into a beauty in white!
That’s what the female ghost in white looked like just now!
turn out to be……
She has such experience.
The light and shadow suddenly turned, and it turned into a young man in rich clothes. He looked at the porcelain vase with a look of shock, and then he became confused and confused.
"I...I want to become an official in the court..." He said slowly, "The Shen family's family fortune is already very large, but if I don't become an official, I will just be like a duckweed without roots."
"Is it just about being an official?" The old man in black robe said seductively in a low voice, "Don't you want to have some bigger dreams? I can realize everything, including... overthrowing this dynasty and bringing down the dynasty as your family ancestors thought. You sit on the throne of the emperor..."
"Ah?" The young man in rich clothes opened his mouth wide, and after a while he said: "I don't dare to think so much. I will be very satisfied if I can become the prime minister."
The light and shadow changed again.
This time, a man in simple clothes appeared. Looking at the vase, he made a wish: "I hope to have an industry as big as the Shen family! Become a rich man!"
The light and shadow kept changing like this. Everyone in the Shen family came here to make a wish and drop a drop of blood into the bottle.
Just watch the black light in the bottle getting stronger and stronger, just like the floating light reflecting on the bubble, and finally burst!
Everything in front of me disappeared instantly.
Only the figure of the old man in black robe was left. He suddenly turned his eyes and looked at Chu Liang and Jiang Yuebai.
"What is your wish?" he asked in his hoarse, low voice.
Jiang Yuebai shook his head.
Chu Liang looked at him and suddenly smiled: "I do have a wish."
"Oh?" The old man in black robe looked at him, "Say it and I can make any wish come true."
Just listen to Chu Liang say: "My wish is that I hope you can fulfill my three wishes."
"Huh?" The old man in black robe stiffened, and the black light in his eyes flickered for a while, and finally turned to anger, "If you are not willing to make a wish to me, you will never be able to leave here! Just take care of yourself!"
After saying that, his figure disappeared.
The surroundings immediately fell into darkness.
Chu Liang raised his hand and picked up the Fierce Light Jue, which instantly illuminated the space.
You can see that it is the size of a room, surrounded by curved white porcelain walls, and there is also a flat piece of white porcelain under your feet.
"We seem to be inside this vase?" Jiang Yuebai said.
"It should be like this." Chu Liang tried to slash at the white porcelain wall with his sword.
clang--
When the sword energy fell on it, there was no trace, only a dull sound.
"So hard." He murmured.
Jiang Yuebai stood up in sacrifice to the sword, raised his hand to use the Heavenly Sword Technique, and the huge sword light crashed down!
boom--
Amid the explosion, the sword energy overflowed and dispersed, but after it passed, the white porcelain wall still had no scars.
"It doesn't seem to be a magical weapon that can be broken in our realm." She also said.
Chu Liang looked up and saw a dark shadow above his head, and he couldn't see the exit.
"It seems like we can't get out, but since this old man is so powerful, why doesn't he kill us directly, but make us make a wish?" He pondered for a moment, "I guess... he doesn't have good intentions. Bar?"
"This reminds me of a legend in the Southern Region." Jiang Yuebai suddenly said, "In ancient times, there was a witch god who created many evil spirits. One of them is called the 'Wish Spirit', which absorbs the spirit of others when they make wishes. Desire serves as power. The shaman-god lets his wish spirit walk on earth to fulfill the wishes of believers."
"Is this good?" Chu Liang thought: "But looking at the fate of these people who made wishes, what is the price after all?"
It is true that the idea of realizing any wish sounds very tempting, but looking at the people who made wishes in the light and shadow just now, it seems that none of them have a good ending, right?
Something is wrong.
"Then I don't know." Jiang Yuebai shook his head, "Even if he can't do anything to us, we still can't get out now."
"Yeah, we won't die here together, right?" Chu Liang said.
Jiang Yuebai remained silent.
"If that's the case, I will make a wish to it, hoping to release you and live a safe and happy life." Chu Liang said with tenderness in his eyes.
Jiang Yuebai looked at him, paused, and said, "Stop pretending, I know you have a way."
"Hehe..." Chu Liang suddenly broke through and scratched his head: "Why do you have so much confidence in me?"
"You are not someone who despairs easily." Jiang Yuebai also smiled.
Chu Liang smiled and turned over his hand to take out a big fat sleeping butterfly and said softly: "Wake up, it's time to work."
