Chapter 22 Face in the thick fog
The cyphoenix transforms a rope by demonism. There seems to be some kind of substance that is close to phosphor in the hollow tubular rope, and the green light it emits can play a role even in the thick fog.
He used a lark knot to connect himself with Ouyang Xiaoleng, Xia Qiu and Qian Qi one by one, and then said, "The purpose of this is that we can follow each other. It is a terrible thing to get lost in the taboo forest, and it may be sucked into the black hole to the alien world at any time. And you can't speak in the forbidden forest, otherwise it will attract strange things. You must keep a peaceful state of mind, because all your emotions will double inflate there, which is the place that will make people crazy!"
After entering the forbidden forest, they saw countless trees that looked similar here. They all had dark trunks and branches. The most inexplorable thing was that these trees were hanging in mid-air, and the rhizome of the upper one hung to the ground like its reflection, giving people a super appearance. The sense of oppression of realism. The forest is already dim, and there are thick fog barriers. It is difficult to see each other four or five meters away, and it is impossible to predict the danger in advance.
The morphine slowed down as much as possible and led a few teenagers to explore the traces of colorful crystals in the forbidden forest little by little. When he was in the fog, he found that they were as cold as the smoke produced by dry ice, which made him shiver.
Xia Qiu's feeling of cold is the most obvious. Unconsciously, her hands and feet are cold, and her body involuntarily wants to shrink into a ball, but she knows that she must persist. She doesn't like this place very much, because even if Ouyang Xiaon, who walks in front of her, and Qianqi, who walks behind her, are so close to her, she will still not see what they look like because of the overlapping fog. There are also strange calls of unknown creatures that ring from time to time, not birds or beasts, near or far, which makes her always feel that they are always at any time. There may be some amazing monsters impulsive in front of them.
It is said that invisible enemies are the most horrible, especially for demons, because their reactions are much more sensitive than human beings. Now Ouyang Xiao Leng is being troubled by his overly sensitive perception. As soon as he entered the taboo forest, he knew that the encytiff had concealed the introduction here. Maybe he was afraid that they would be too nervous. The atmosphere emitted here is quite complex, as if many worlds have been forcibly built together. Its structure is fragile, which may be the main reason why feng feng xins does not allow them to speak, because any extra sound may cause a domino-like reaction. If the fragile balance that supports the taboo forest is destroyed, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the chain reaction it may bring will even affect the whole country of Huangquan. He became more and more unable to understand why the Yanluo Demon King asked them to come here. He should know better than anyone how powerful it is here. If it is just to test them, he can come up with other questions.
He thought a little selflessly, and his pace inevitably slowed down. He was hit on his back by Xia Qiu, who was walking forward. Even through the clothes, he could feel the coldness on her body, and he didn't know how long she had endured like this. She is always afraid that others will worry about her, and that she will cause trouble to others. She will hold on to everything alone. This may be the gentleness of human beings, but she always makes him involuntarily distressed. He reached out his hand and groped for one of her hands, just like when she clenched him that day when he was uneasy for the demon king's promotion meeting.
As early as when he saw the twisted Flame Luo Magic Palace, Qianqi was full of disgust with the world, and it was not much easier to find the location of the colored crystal in such a place where he could not even see the road ahead. The longer he walked, the more he felt that there seemed to be a small spark in the bottom of his heart. Although it was only such a trace of irritability, it was very likely to be like a spark of stars and a fire in an instant.
The fengos suddenly sensed that something was approaching them and trying to surround them. The comers brought a whirlwind centered on them to disperse the thick fog around them. He eagerly looked at the teenagers behind him and tied to him. After making sure that they were still and were not injured, he followed their eyes to look around in the air.
There are huge semi-bright human faces suspended in the air. The voices of those non-birds and non-animals are emitted by them. From the time they entered the taboo forest, these guys are likely to be following them.
Xia Qiu looked at them in horror and covered his mouth with an empty hand to prevent himself from shouting out of fear. These ghost-like faces should be the monsters from the alien world mentioned in the mouth of the cyinth. They seemed to be deadlocked with them, waiting for their further action.
Ouyang Xiao Leng hesitated whether to prepare for the war, and just wanted to show his magic ice. The ghazizi raised his hand and motioned him to wait for a moment. He wanted to bet that if he used his demon power now, he might provoke other monsters. Since they did not attack all the way, they might just be observing them.
There is nothing in the eyes of those translucent faces, and the longer they look at each other, the more they feel that they are being sucked into the empty darkness little by little, which is trying to connect with the black hole in their hearts. In fact, everyone has an unknown side in their heart, which is another part of themselves that is carefully hidden in the bottom of their hearts. There is hatred, desire, and an ugly past that people don't want to be understood... Hianxinzi feels that the seal of the door of dusty memories is slowly being opened, and the sense of despair that once accompanied him is like a shadow again. Devour him.
Memory suddenly brought him back to thousands of years ago, when he was just a feng feng zi in the world that had just turned into a demon. Because he is a flower demon and can't leave his roots too far away, he can only look at the world from afar, quietly and persistently move, or disappointed, or angry for the world... He is almost madly longing that what he once thought could never be obtained is freedom. Walk around freely, walk freely to see the unreachable world, and freely catch up with your beloved to catch up with the footsteps of spring. Just because he is a flower demon, he can never leave its roots, but his wish is difficult to realize.
Until someone appeared in front of him, it was Qingyun. He said, "Come with me. I can let you walk freely from the roots in the deep soil, but the price of the exchange is that you must obey me." He agreed without thinking about it. The desire for freedom had blinded the good and evil in his heart. For hundreds of years after that, he traveled through the world and the demon world. He couldn't remember how many people he had killed for him. Even if his hands were covered with blood, he could still turn into the most beautiful flowers and butterflies. He was free and went around without any obstacles; but he felt more tightly bound, like a horse with a saddle bride, living on a blue-cloud chariot, let it be controlled, whipped, and let it rage. He sank, disheartened, and his heart was gradually lost in a bottomless darkness. In the middle.
He couldn't find the exit of hope, and even began to miss the days when he couldn't walk. At that time, at least his heart was pure, full of hope and yearning, and he would also be moved by the things in front of him. But now he is numb and loses his sense of beauty and kindness, and all that remains is to complete Qingyun's order mechanically. He was never sure whether they should really be killed before he killed. Although this uncertainty was just an excuse for his conscience not to be condemned and tormented, he knew in his heart that they did not deserve to die.
Occasionally, he heard that there was a place that was not under the jurisdiction of the three realms. There was no time and space. He thought that it would be his home, and only there was the place where he should go, full of sin. In order to break through the surveillance of Qingyun, he was seriously injured. After several twists and turns, he finally came to the Kingdom of Huangquan and became a subordinate of the Demon King of Yanluo, and volunteered to lead the way for the dead. I thought that his heart would be as quiet as water from now on, and the rest of the life and energy would be slowly exhausted in this nihilistic world, but I didn't expect to hear the singing of Lv Loji by chance. At first, he thought it was his own illusion. How could there be such a loud song in this nihilistic world, and it was as wonderful as a heavenly song? Later, he found that the song was real, and the owner of the song was Lv Luoji, the daughter who had been under house arrest by the devil.
Lv Luoji is beautiful, beautiful, careless about the world, and there is infinite sadness in her simple eyes. Since she was born, she has never had freedom, but her singing is still full of hope, describing her yearning for the future and the forgiveness of her father who imprisoned her.
It is a noble soul that you can't compare with, a soul that can shine even in the darkest place. He couldn't help but have a long-lost love for her, and she also felt his feelings and responded to him with her own song. Although the two lonely people could only look at each other from afar across the tower, those two pairs of eyes became the source of each other's courage. The ice in his heart was gradually melted and the shadow was driven away. He felt that even if the sins he had committed could not be forgiven, he would still find a remedy through his efforts. Before he dies, he wants to make his soul kind and clear, and become a person worthy of her. He decided that he must do it himself.
The cyanointh suddenly woke up from his hallucinations, thinking that he was probably killed by some force of those translucent faces. Several teenagers who looked at him and breathed a sigh of relief after he regained consciousness. The face suspended in the air retreated into the thick fog and disappeared. He smiled apologetically at the teenagers who were worried about him, relieving his thrilling mood.
The next part of the road was a little calm beyond imagination, and those monsters did not appear again. They successfully found a place full of colorful crystals, and the stones the size of black goose eggs were evenly scattered in front of them.
Hyacinth took the lead in picking up two colored crystals. The black stone began to change at the moment it was touched by his fingers. The black of the whole body slowly melted and gradually became as clear and transparent as a crystal stone. When the whole stone turns transparent silver, blue dots begin to appear in the middle of the two stones. Then, those small dots slowly became bigger, rotated and bloomed like a seed... Finally, a group of blue flashing butterflies appeared in the colored crystals of the cynics, flying back and forth between the two stones.
Qianqi couldn't wait to pick up a piece of colored crystal. The black on the stone gradually became a transparent color as blue as the sea in his hand. A small spark appeared in the center of the stone. The spark jumped and slowly turned into a sunrise that jumped out of the sea. It was difficult for poets to imagine. A strange scene of light.
Xia Qiu picked up a relatively round piece of colored crystal in front of him and picked it up. The colored crystal changed from black to white, repeating the same process as the previous two. There are falling snowflakes in the stone, and a bunch of red plum blossoms bloom in the snow in the center, as if it is the epitome of summer and autumn. It is beautiful and elegant, faintly showing a proud and cold charm.
After that, she couldn't wait to come to Ouyang Xiao Leng and looked at what would happen to the stone in his hand. The colored crystal he picked up was the most slow to react. Xia Qiu guessed: It must be because he was used to hiding his emotions, and even Stone had a hard time trying to catch him.
After waiting for a while, the colored crystal finally gradually reacted. The black was diluted by the moonlight-like gold, and the gold was mixed with mottled white snow, echoing the cold plum arrogant snow in summer and autumn. He is the king of snow, and she is the only plum blossom that can bloom in his arms.
After admiring their respective colored crystals, the four people silently exchanged glances, put away the colored crystals, and slowly walked out of the forbidden forest as before. Perhaps it was because they became happy after getting the colored crystal, and the fog in front of them was not as heavy as before, and their vision was wider. Soon they walked out of the taboo forest all the way.
