A stick of incense passed, and Xin Mingyue and Li Changsheng had arrived at the foot of Wufeng Mountain. Li Changsheng's original intention was to start climbing immediately. After all, the goal was right in front of him, and his heart was full of urgency. However, Xin Mingyue made a different suggestion.
She suggested that they open a cave at the foot of the mountain, adjust their breathing, and wait for night to fall before setting off. Li Changsheng was very puzzled by this. He didn't understand why they had to wait until night before setting off. After all, the towering Wufeng Mountain was right in front of them.
Xin Mingyue did not explain immediately, but just smiled lightly and told Li Changsheng that he would naturally know about it in the evening. Although Li Changsheng was full of doubts, he still chose to believe Xin Mingyue. After all, she was much more familiar with this place than she was. So, the two opened a cave at the foot of the mountain, calmed down, adjusted their breath and waited for the arrival of night.
When the moonlight rose, Xin Mingyue walked out of the cave lightly, followed closely by Li Changsheng. At this moment, he finally understood why Xin Mingyue insisted on setting off at night. The Wufeng Mountain in front of me is completely different from what I saw during the day. During the day, the mountain peaks were shrouded in clouds and mist, and they were unable to see the entirety of Wufeng Mountain clearly.
However, under the reflection of the moonlight, there was not a trace of clouds covering the Wufeng Mountain at this moment. Under the baptism of the moonlight, the mountain peaks look like they are wrapped in silver, crystal clear. The textures and ravines in the mountains are clearly discernible under the moonlight, even more realistic than during the day. This change made Li Changsheng feel a little incredible, as if he was in a fantasy world.
"Number 58, do you feel strange why there is such a big contrast between the scene during the day and the scene at night?" Xin Mingyue explained.
"Actually, the scene we see during the day is fake, an illusion hidden by clouds and mist. The scene at night is real. Only under the moonlight can we see the true face of Wufeng Mountain. No matter what we do during the day If you rush on the road, you will get lost in the diffuse clouds and mist, and you will not be able to really get close to the mountain. Therefore, you choose to rush at night so that you can climb Wufeng Mountain smoothly and not be confused by the illusion during the day."
"Does Fairy Mingyue mean that there is a giant phantom formation on this Wufeng Mountain?"
"No. 58, you guessed it right. There is indeed a giant phantom formation covering Wufeng Mountain. What's amazing is that no one knows who deployed such a huge formation here. What's even more mysterious is that this The diameter of the phantom formation's eye has always been a mystery, and no one has been able to find it. However, as soon as the moonlight rises, this phantom formation will automatically dissipate, revealing the true appearance of Wufeng Mountain."
At this moment, a thought came to Li Changsheng's mind, and his thoughts drifted to Xiao Hei. In Tianxian City, Xiao Hei showed outstanding abilities. He seemed to be able to sense all phantom formations. Li Changsheng couldn't help but think that maybe Xiao Hei could find the location of the magic array's eye on Wufeng Mountain. After all, with Xiao Hei's outstanding performance, the possibility of finding the formation's eye is quite high.
However, after some weighing, Li Changsheng finally gave up this idea. He knew very well that the existence of the phantom formation must have its important reasons and purposes. They have been living in peace for so many years. If the magic circle is broken by themselves and an unforeseen accident occurs, then they may face consequences that outweigh the gains. Rather than taking the risk of destroying the phantom formation, it is more important to climb the mountain steadily to ensure your own safety.
"Number 58, you may not know something. Thousands of years ago, this mountain could be said to be full of treasures. I heard from many seniors that at that time, the entire mountain was occupied by monks looking for opportunities, and treasures could be found everywhere. . However, as time goes by, the treasures gradually become rarer, and the opportunities to pick up treasures become less and less. Up to now, basically no one comes to this place, and it is difficult to find any treasures even if you dig three feet into the ground. trace.
When they reached the halfway point of Wufeng Mountain, Xin Mingyue suddenly began to descend and fly towards the ground. When Li Changsheng saw this, he felt helpless, but he could only follow Xin Mingyue's figure and land on the ground together. He was full of curiosity and doubts. He didn't know what Xin Mingyue was going to do and why he suddenly gave up and moved on.
"No. 58, we will climb up after taking it. We won't be able to fly the rest of the way."
Looking at Li Changsheng who was full of doubts, Xin Mingyue smiled calmly and explained: "No. 58, you don't need to be doubtful. Above the mountainside, it seems to be shrouded in a mysterious formation. Once we enter this range, we will not be able to use the spirit However, you don't need to worry, just follow me closely and you will understand everything later." After saying that, Xin Mingyue turned around lightly and began to lead the way. Her steps were light and firm, as if she was full of confidence in the unknown ahead.
Sure enough, as Xin Mingyue said, Li Changsheng suddenly realized that he could not mobilize any spiritual power as soon as he reached the mountainside. If you suddenly lose all your spiritual power while flying and fall from a high altitude without the protection of your spiritual power, the consequences will be unimaginable, and you will definitely be disabled even if you don't die.
"Fairy Mingyue, I hope you can be honest with me. Have you known for a long time that there are golden phoenix fires and ten thousand year fire crystals hidden here? It is not just discovered recently as you said before. Even if you are familiar with this If you know the area well, how should you explain the markings on this mountain road? If you have hidden too many things from me, do you think it is necessary to continue our cooperation? "
"No. 58, you are really thoughtful, and you can observe so carefully even when you have lost your spiritual power. In fact, I have known for a long time that there are golden phoenix fires and ten thousand year fire crystals hidden here. It’s just that I have never found the entrance to the cave.”
"Not long ago, I accidentally discovered an ancient book in a classic book shop on Chengyue Island. The cover of this ancient book had a mountain drawn on it, which was very similar to Wufeng Mountain. I was curious, so I bought it and compared it carefully. Research. After some exploration, I was surprised to find that the mountain pattern on the cover was actually a hidden map. Through this map, I found the entrance to the cave. Fellow Taoists should know how to think without spiritual power. It is simply impossible to find the entrance to the cave."
"Fairy Mingyue, is this the whole story? Are there any other important details that you overlooked?"
"No. 58, you seem to suspect that I have not told you everything. But I can tell you clearly that I have told you everything I know without reservation. The situation in the cave, including those I have carefully marked the important details on the map. I am sure that I have shared all the information I have with you. If you have any other questions or need further explanation on the 58th, I I’m willing to do my best to answer your questions.”
"Fairy Mingyue, the last question I want to ask is, why did you choose me as your partner?"
"The reason is simple, everyone gets what they need. I believe you can help me, and I can also provide you with what you need. In addition, we are both members of the Kyushu Assassination Organization. If you are interested in If I have any unfavorable thoughts, you should know the consequences. The rules of the assassination organization are no joke. Therefore, our cooperation is the best choice, mutual benefit and win-win, why not?"
When Xin Mingyue saw that Li Changsheng had stopped talking and there was no expression of dissatisfaction on his face, she knew that he had accepted her explanation. So, she continued on her journey without any further delay. The two of them walked forward silently on this mysterious mountainside, one behind the other. They could only hear the footsteps echoing in the silent night.
