One person: I am Lin Bai, good at using a hundred skills!

"Thank you for your advice, Master!"

Lin Bai clasped his fists and said something.

Lin Bai understood that this old monk was just an illusion.

More like NPCs.

The purpose is to remind people who come here...

After bidding farewell to the old monk, Lin Bai and Lao Xiao continued walking towards the depths of the ancient temple.

Along the way, you can see carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and brackets, which fully demonstrate the ancient and elegant style.

The rich Buddhist sounds came with the wind, as if reminding the two of the truth of "letting go of obsession" from time to time.

"Everything here seems real, but it's actually illusory..."

Lin Bai muttered to himself, his eyes slightly closed, trying his best to keep himself clear-headed.

“That’s right.”

Lao Xiao nodded in agreement...

As soon as the words fell, the scene in front of the two of them suddenly changed!

I saw layers of fog covering the place, and the air seemed to be stagnant.

When the fog gradually dissipates, where is the trace of the ancient temple?

Instead, there is a dense and lush primeval forest!

The towering trees soar into the sky, their thick trunks requiring more than a dozen people to hug.

The staggered treetops block the sky, and through the gaps between the branches and leaves, only a few rays of faint green light can be seen falling.

There is a thick layer of humus under my feet, which is soft and moist. With every step I take, I can feel the breath of the earth.

Vines crisscross the forest, wild flowers bloom, and the air is filled with the fresh scent of plants, refreshing the heart.

The cries of various rare and exotic animals rose one after another, interweaving with the rustling of wind through the treetops, adding a sense of mystery.

"Fuck!"

Faced with this sudden scene change, Lin Bai and Lao Xiao both gasped in shock.

"Where is this? Aren't we in the ancient temple? How come we are in this primeval forest in the blink of an eye?"

Lin Bai opened his eyes wide and looked around in disbelief.

"It seems we have to be more vigilant. We are now in an illusion and we may get lost if we are not careful."

Lin Bai said seriously.

"That's right. If you don't have enough cultivation, you will inevitably be confused by the various scenes in front of you. The key is to have a clear mind and not be moved by external things."

Lao Xiao nodded and said yes...

The two of them talked back and forth, and soon they had some experience in dealing with the test of the illusion.

Having made up their minds, they headed deep into the forest.

However, this primeval forest seems to have no end.

After walking for a long time, it was still vast and boundless, with no sunlight in sight.

The fog in the forest was getting thicker and visibility was getting lower.

The strange sound came from time to time, and I couldn't tell if it was the roar of an animal or the call of some unknown creature.

"This damn place is really spooky."

Lin Bai shuddered and quickened his pace.

Old Xiao frowned and stared at his surroundings intently.

"Be careful. The more mysterious the environment, the easier it is for people to have hallucinations. You must stay awake at all times."

Before he finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly blew through the forest.

It whistled past and suddenly exploded in my ears!

Then, a dark hole appeared out of nowhere in front of them!

At first glance, the entrance to the cave was pitch black, and you couldn't see your fingers.

But if you look closely, you can vaguely see a faint light flickering in the cave, which seems to be an entrance to somewhere.

"Huh? This is..."

Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously took a step towards the cave entrance.

"Wait a minute!"

"Do you ever feel that there is something strange about this cave entrance?"

Lao Xiao quickly pulled him back and said solemnly...

Lin Bai came back to his senses. After a careful look, he found that there was a faint green smoke around the cave entrance.

The green smoke rose up, emitting a sweet aroma.

Just one sniff and I felt dizzy and my legs went weak.

"Fuck! There's something fishy about this cave entrance!"

Lin Bai took a deep breath and quickly took a few steps back.

"Yes. If I'm not mistaken, this green smoke must be some kind of incense. If you go in rashly, you might get into some evil trap."

Old Xiao nodded...

Hearing this, Lin Bai was even more frightened.

Fortunately, Lao Xiao helped me, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!

"This illusion test is truly pervasive. A mere hole can be so alluring."

Lin Bai sighed.

Old Xiao smiled slightly, put his hands together, and chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice.

Suddenly, a refreshing feeling came over me. The previous drowsiness was instantly swept away!

At the same time, the dark hole began to twist and deform, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye!

"this......"

Lin Bai was dumbfounded and speechless for a moment.

“This is the Vajra Mantra for Purifying the World.”

"It can be used to dispel delusion and break through obstacles. It is more than enough to deal with the illusion before our eyes."

Lao Xiao explained...

Damn your uncle, Lao Xiao!

You have got rid of your inner demons. Are you ready to go back to being a monk?

He can even recite the scriptures!

Is this still the old Xiao I know?

“Help…Help…”

"Can someone come... help me..."

The shrill sounds came from all directions, and it was impossible to tell where they came from.

It's creepy to hear.

"This voice...why is it so familiar?"

Old Xiao's heart trembled and he almost blurted out something.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. His eyes were filled with fear and his whole body was shaking.

"Old Xiao, are you okay?"

Lin Bai was shocked when he saw this and hurried forward to support the staggering old man.

“I’m fine…”

Old Xiao's face turned pale, and he tried his best to calm down, muttering...

Lin Bai suddenly realized.

No wonder Lao Xiao lost his temper like this!

"Don't worry, Lao Xiao, this is just an illusion. Don't be led by it."

Lin Bai patted the old man's shoulder.

Following Lin Bai's advice, Lao Xiao gradually calmed down.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and tried to shift his attention away from the cry for help.

Sure enough, as he focused, the cries for help became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely!

“Thank you….”

Old Xiao looked at Lin Bai with gratitude.

After walking for a while, the road in front of us suddenly began to fork.

One path leads to the left, the other to the right, and looking further ahead, it becomes increasingly complicated, like a huge maze!

"It's over. What should we do now?"

Lin Bai scratched his head.

"I think there's something strange about these two roads. Although they look ordinary, they must have some mysteries hidden inside."

Lao Xiao commented.

The two of them circled the fork in the road for several times, but still couldn't decide which way to go.

Time passed by, but there was no progress.

Just when the two were at a loss, Lin Bai's eyes lit up.

He found a stone on the side of the road that was smoother than the ones next to it!

"Look, Lao Xiao, isn't this stone different?"

Lin Bai greeted excitedly.

"That makes sense! Generally speaking, stones that are often stepped on will have smoother surfaces."

"If you look carefully at each stone, you may be able to find the right path!"

Lao Xiao came forward to take a look, and immediately became alert...

So, the two began to look for those inconspicuous clues along the way.

The moss on the roadside was a little dry, obviously it was often trampled on.

The strange fragrance in the air made Lin Bai keep turning left.

The hanging vines meander all the way and eventually lead to the dense forest on the right...
