The Pheasant Essence is going to be a big monster

Zhou Zhaoji finally fell asleep for a while, and was pushed hard twice. He barely opened his eyes in a daze, and quickly closed them again. He changed his position and planned to continue sleeping. "Four times, he was slapped four times, and he woke up with starry eyes, and saw Ji Lanye standing in front of him impatiently, with his hands folded on his chest, majestic.

Zhou Zhaoji touched his face, it was a little hot, but it was not swollen, and he felt terribly wronged: "Xianjun, if you want to wake up the little one, you can just shout, why do you want to hit someone?"

Ji Lanye said coldly: "If you can't wake up, you can only wake you up." Then he asked, "Is it time to sleep now?"

Zhou Zhaoji scratched his hair: "I can't go out anyway, take a rest to recover your strength before continuing to fight that guy."

Ji Lanye said: "I kept watch all night, did you rest?"

Zhou Zhaoji muttered in a low voice and got up: "You are not human..."

Ji Lanye glanced at him coldly, and Zhou Zhaoji hurriedly laughed: "The Immortal Lord is a god in the sky, and we ordinary people are naturally not as powerful as the Immortal Lord!"

Ji Lanye really didn't like this playful Taoist priest, but now the two of them were tied together, and the outside situation was unclear, thinking that two were always better than one, not to mention that this Taoist priest should not be underestimated in terms of strength.

Thinking of this, Ji Lanye endured and endured, before asking him: "Your senior brother also has your virtue?"

Zhou Zhaoji really wanted to ask what kind of virtue the so-called "his virtue" refers to, but seeing Ji Lanye's expression of wanting to eat him, he decided that it would be better to hold back one more thing rather than one less thing, and said: " It's not the same."

"How is it different?"

"How should I put it, I'm more likable than Senior Brother..."

The veins on Ji Lanye's forehead twitched, and he pointed to the door: "Go out and check the military situation for me!"

Zhou Zhaoji gave an "ah" and whispered, "I'm telling the truth..."

Ji Lanye sneered: "I'm telling the truth, you get out now, otherwise..." He smiled slightly, the threat was obvious.

Zhou Zhaoji accepted his fate and walked out dejectedly.

The two of them had fought fiercely for an unknown amount of time before, fighting against those empty armors that could not see the flesh, and the powerful forces that did exist, escaped from layers of pursuit, and finally found an empty cellar of a private house to hide in, and carefully guarded After waiting for a long time, waiting for the chaotic voices from the outside to disappear, the surroundings seem to have calmed down now, but they don't know what's going on outside.

Zhou Zhaoji listened carefully to the movement outside, and then carefully lifted the wooden door above his head a crack, looked at it, and then climbed out.Ji Lanye didn't relax his vigilance below, and was ready to wipe out the enemies that appeared suddenly. As for Zhou Zhaoji, if he died because of it, it would be his bad luck.

However, no enemies appeared, and the room was eerily silent.

Zhou Zhaoji climbed up, looked around, and followed to the window. The warm sunlight came in from the window and hit the ground, forming shadows that alternate between light and dark.Zhou Zhaoji frowned, and pushed the window sash halfway. He looked at it for a while, and frowned even tighter.

Ji Lanye had also ascended to the ground with his immortal energy, and asked, "What?"

Zhou Zhaoji smiled helplessly: "It's back to the original point."

The sky outside the window was already bright, and the sun was shining, shining on a quiet and dilapidated ancient city. There was no one in the city...

Gu Tai said that he had to prepare, and indeed he was not in a hurry to set off. Instead, he went out to ask the villagers about something, and asked Ji Xiaocai to wait for him in the house.Ji Xiaocai obediently stayed in the house, packed her bags, and found out some gadgets that her mother and a few older sisters gave him for self-defense before going out. When she had more time, she steamed a few steamed buns on the stove and cleaned them up. The furoshiki was wrapped, and I carried it on my back together, and I also brought enough water.

After doing this, he was still not at ease, and silently chanted the incantation, then pulled out his demon sword, looked at it again and again, and made sure that there was no gap and the blade was sharpened before putting it back.Tomorrow is the seventh day of the lunar new year. Although there is still nearly a day left, he is still worried that something will happen to Gu Tailai, so he thinks that he must be fully prepared. If there is something, he can help Gu Tailai as much as he can.

After Si time, Gu Tailai came back from the village and seemed to have gained a little.Seeing Ji Xiaocai's package, she flipped through it and said with a smile, "I'm well prepared, let's go." The two went out. Before leaving, Gu Tailai folded a paper crane and pressed it on the table. It seems to have made some preparations.

According to what Wang Tieniu said, he fled in the northeast direction last night. According to common sense, the two of them should have gone in the opposite direction and went in the southwest direction, but Gu Tailai decided that they should go in the northeast direction.

He asked the old people in the village a lot, and he knew the stories of Wangcun that have been passed down from generation to generation. Not far from the village, there was a battle between the two countries in ancient times, but no one knows the exact location.From the surface, the village is surrounded by only three hills. The mountains are not too high, but the forest is a little deep. If it is a place where the two armies are fighting, it will inevitably make people wonder. The mountain road is rugged, and where can the two sides set up fortresses? , and where to confront each other.

Gu Tailai also asked the village about the necessary way to get in and out of the mountain, and that path opened on Fushan Mountain, slightly borrowing a half-slope of Qingshan Mountain.The name Fushan, but it sounds extremely murderous, and it is in the southwest of the village. Originally, it was most in line with speculation, but Gu Tailai identified it as Zhongshan.

Zhongshan is the second highest among the three mountains. It looks like a clock from a distance, and beyond the mountain is the boundary of Dingzhou.However, it is said that there is miasma in the mountain, and there are few wild animals, so few people come in and out. There are only various trees that grow lush and green, rising from the ground, covering the sky and covering the sun.Gu Tai looked at the sun, estimated the time, and brought Ji Xiaocai into the forest.

There was no danger along the way, some poisonous insects and ferocious beasts did not dare to approach him when they saw him.To humans, these ferocious beasts may be dangerous, but they are just ordinary animals after all, and they all hide away when they smell the demonic smell on Ji Xiaocai's body.At noon, they still found nothing, so the two found a rotten tree lying on an open space and sat down to rest.

Ji Xiaocai took the buns from the fur wrapper, poured water and handed it to Gu Tailai, and then she ate delicately by herself.

Gu Tailai asked him: "Xiao Cai, what kind of person is your brother?"

Ji Xiaocai's eyes lit up, and she replied without hesitation: "Very powerful, very powerful, very good to me!"

Gu Tailai choked - said: "It sounds similar to my evaluation."

Ji Xiaocai was a little surprised: "It's different, the Taoist priest is the Taoist priest, and the eldest brother is the eldest brother!"

Gu Tailai asked him, "Oh, what's the difference?"

Ji Xiaocai's face turned red: "Of course it's different. Big brother...won't...then...that..." I couldn't go on, I looked up and saw the corners of Gu Tailai's raised lips, and then I realized myself I was being teased, so I was so angry that I turned my head away.

Gu Tailai smiled and touched Ji Xiaocai's face: "You are too nervous, we have half a day, enough to rescue them." Then he said to Ji Xiaocai, "You should have a good rest today, but I don't want to leave you alone , I said, you will always follow me from now on.”

Ji Xiaocai's face was flushed, and Gu Tailai said such love words in a serious manner, which made him both happy and embarrassed, and he didn't know how to speak up for a while.Gu Tailai kissed him, and seemed to say to himself: "What should I do, I want to eat again." Saying so, his arms were already up, one hand was supporting his waist, and the other was poking into Ji Xiaocai's clothes .

Ji Xiaocai struggled a bit in shock, but she couldn't resist Gu Tailai's strength at all. After being rubbed by his hands through the clothes, she became weak all over. When she was almost in a trance, she suddenly felt her whole body trembling up and down.Gu Tailai didn't seem to notice it. Ji Xiaocai thought it was her own illusion, but soon found out that it wasn't, and the ground fluctuated violently.

Gu Tailai cursed in a low voice, and said, "Follow me closely." With a flexible figure, he rose into the air.Ji Xiaocai hurriedly picked up her pack and followed them. All the trees and ground seemed to be alive, chasing after them, bouncing up and down.Gu Tailai repelled the attack from all directions, and when he landed, he seemed to step on an empty space and fell down suddenly.

Ji Xiaocai quickly reached out to grab him, but a force brought them down all the way.

After an unknown period of time, Gu Tailai hugged him and barely stabilized himself on the ground. When he looked up, there was only a faint light in the distance above, and they seemed to have fallen into a deep hole.Fortunately, the burden was not lost, Gu Tailai turned on the flint, and there was a narrow passage in front of him.Gu Tai said, "Let's go and have a look." The two walked along the aisle one after the other.Not long after walking, they saw a bright light in the distance, and both of them knew that they had reached the exit.Sure enough, they saw a hole covered by vines, lifted the vines, and the sun was shining brightly, both of them involuntarily closed their eyes.

Look again, we have come to a field, where the knee-length wormwood grows, many colorful wild flowers bloom, and a clear stream winds and stretches, which is like a paradise, quiet and peaceful.

Ji Xiaocai couldn't help but marvel, but Gu Tailai looked into the distance.In the distance, it seems to see ruins, and a dilapidated flag is planted on the only remaining city wall, fluttering in the wind.

Judging from the location, the only place that can accommodate this field is the inside of Zhongshan Mountain, but when you look up, you will find that there is an unobstructed blue sky above the field, and there are no traces of mountains and forests. Therefore, Gu Tailai It is more likely that what Ji Xiaocai and Ji Xiaocai set foot on at this moment is just an illusory place built by strength.

Ji Xiaocai turned around to look, and sure enough the cave behind the two had disappeared, and there was a flat green lawn in the front, back, left, and right sides, with swaying grass and colorful wild flowers. There are no other human traces in this field.

Gu Tailai said to Ji Xiaocai, "Let's go to the city to have a look." Then he told him, "Be careful."

Ji Xiaocai let out an "um", pulled out his demon sword, and held it in her hand.

The wind didn't know where it came from or where it was going, the surrounding fields were quiet, only the sound of grass blades being trampled by people's feet, the two walked for a while and came to the ancient city.From a distance, only a half-collapsed city wall can be seen, but when you look closer, you can see that the ancient city occupied a large area when it was intact.The width of the base of the wall at the bottom alone is more than one foot wide, and its length is unpredictable. It is in line with the stories passed down from generation to generation in Wangcun. This is the place where Qin and Chu fought in ancient times, and it is also the place where the city was destroyed.

Gu Tailai jumped into the city, and Ji Xiaocai followed closely behind, looking around cautiously.

Years have eroded, and there are not many ruins left in the city. The roads are almost invisible, and only occasionally half of the gable or half of the rotten rafters can be seen on the ground. In addition, this quiet ancient city is full of crazy green grass and open fields. A world of extraordinarily bright wildflowers.

Gu Tailai and Ji Xiaocai didn't need to spend much time at all, they could confirm that there was no one else in the city after a hasty walk around.The armored ghost soldiers that Wang Tieniu mentioned, or Zhou Zhaoji and Ji Lanye were nowhere to be seen, let alone who used force to force Gu Tailai and Ji Xiaocai into the illusion, and where they were hiding.If you want clues, I'm afraid you have to find the information sent by Zhou Zhaoji.

Thinking about this, Gu Tailai took out the paper bag that Zhou Zhaoji handed over to him. The crisp cloth was dark brown in color, which was slightly similar to the flag on the city wall. However, Gu Tailai compared the texture of the two. Are not the same.He went to look at the ashes that exuded a strange smell, and twisted them in his hands. The ash particles were thick and azure in color, as if something was left after being crushed...

City bricks?or something else?But what is this strange smell?Gu Tailai vaguely felt that if the smell was stronger, he should be able to remember it, but not now.

Seeing that Gu Tailai was thinking, Ji Xiaocai wisely moved around by herself, and picked up some bricks to see if there were any clues.Suddenly something in the grass caught his attention, he bent down to pick it up, and couldn't help but let out a low cry.It was a sachet, made of simple materials and densely threaded. It was very old. He sewed it for his elder brother Ji Lanye many years ago!

Gu Tailai heard his cry, walked over quickly and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji Xiaocai showed him the sachet: "This is my elder brother's." He couldn't help looking around as he said, and there was no other figure in the plain.Ji Xiaocai got a little anxious, and shouted to all sides, "Brother, I'm Xiaocai, where are you!" The four sides of the field were like invisible walls that absorbed sound, absorbing his shout but not transmitting the echo, and could hear There is still only the sound of the wind driving the swaying vegetation.

Sweat dripped from the tip of Ji Xiaocai's nose, and he began to panic.In this uninhabited area, there is some monster hidden, watching them, not making a sound, let alone what it has done to his elder brother and Zhou Zhaoji.

Gu Tailai saw his nervousness and squeezed his hand hard: "Xiao Cai, I'm here."

Ji Xiaocai forced a smile: "Well, I know, I'm just worried about my brother and the others..."

Gu Tai said: "Before Wang Tieniu broke in, they were just trapped in the city, and there was no danger. Maybe Wang Tieniu violated a certain taboo to cause the ghost soldiers to attack. When Wang Tieniu left there, there was no way to continue the attack." Necessary, and with the strength of Zhou Zhaoji and your brother, they should not be in danger easily."

Ji Xiaocai thought about it, and probably felt that Gu Tai's words made sense, so she regained some energy.

Gu Tailai asked him, "Where did you find the sachet?"

Ji Xiaocai pointed out the place where she picked it up. Gu Tai came to have a look, then suddenly squatted down and found something, and took out the dagger from his waist.He cut off all the large blades of grass, exposing the soil, and then stretched out his hand to touch the soil inch by inch. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, he inserted the dagger hard, drew a straight line on the ground with all his strength, and folded it again when he reached a certain position. Cross the right angle and row in the other direction.With his movements, the soil began to loosen, and the grass roots turned and fell, and he threw them aside.Ji Xiaocai understood a little bit, and began to help dig the soil. The soil layer was actually not thick. Soon, the two cleared out a piece of land, and the iron edge could be seen on the square edge. Gu Tailai inserted the dagger into it, and shouted: "Get up!" The hands followed, there was no movement at first, and the dust would fly up soon. Amidst the creaking sound, a thick iron-clad board was pried open.

Gu Tailai and Ji Xiaocai stepped aside, and when the dust cleared, they saw a square hole in the ground.Ji Xiaocai stepped forward cautiously and looked down. It turned out that the place where they were standing might have been the interior of a residential house, but under the square opening was a hidden cellar.Ji Xiaocai looked down and saw that the cellar hadn't been opened for hundreds of years, and there was a musty smell inside. The part of the hole could be seen empty, and the inside couldn't be seen.

Gu Tai said: "You watch here, I'll go down." After saying that, he jumped down neatly.

It was obvious that no one had been in the cellar for a long time, the ground was full of dust, Gu Tailai just jumped down, and a cloud of dust was stirred up.He took two steps inward, his eyes adapted to the darkness, and he saw that there were some rice grains piled up in the cellar, and some pots and jars, but there was nothing special about it.He scanned around, and suddenly noticed that there was a jar isolated from other jars. When he moved the jar away, he saw a piece of talisman paper pressed on the bottom of the jar, which belonged to Zhou Zhaoji.

Gu Tailai was also slightly startled. Apart from him, no one has been to this cellar for hundreds of years. Why is Zhou Zhaoji's talisman pressed here?He looked at the talisman paper again, it was not a talisman for exorcising ghosts and suppressing evil spirits, but a summoning talisman.Taoism has a kind of magic, which is to control the demons and ghosts subdued by envoys. If you want to invite the gods and beasts above the nine heavens, in addition to signing a contract, you must have advanced Taoism, and the summoning talisman is even more essential.And as far as he knew, Zhou Zhaoji didn't have the habit of summoning divine beasts. Who was this summoning talisman meant to invite?

Gu Tailai recited the backtracking mantra silently, trying to trace some sources from this talisman paper.As he chanted in a low voice, the talisman began to tremble slightly, as if being manipulated by an invisible hand, it slowly rose from his hand, and the mantra was recited fluently, and when it was about to be completed, Gu Tailai suddenly stopped Chanted.

Gu Tailai groaned inwardly, his mind went blank, the talisman paper fell on his hand, and there was no more movement.Gu Tailai tried to recall the simplest "Heart Purification Curse", but found nothing. Looking at his dagger, the magic weapon that was originally attached to the cold blade, there was no trace of mana.

This was Gu Tailai's worst loss of power since Fengtiao Town. Not only did he lose all his mana, he even forgot all his spells.

Ji Xiaocai shouted from above: "Master Taoist, are you alright?"

Gu Tailai is only lucky, at least this time he did not forget people.After adjusting his state, he shouted to the top: "It's nothing, I'll come up right away."

Ji Xiaocai said, "Master Daoist, I'll pull you up." The voice sounded inexplicably distant.

Gu Tailai frowned, suddenly thought of something, and shouted anxiously: "Xiao Cai, don't come near here, I'll come up right away!"

Ji Xiaocai seemed to say "Hey" and said, "Master..." His voice disappeared inexplicably as if it had been blown into the wind suddenly.

Gu Tailai felt anxious and could no longer take care of other things.He had lost his mana, but his martial arts were still there, so he jumped up and climbed up from the cellar.As soon as he landed, his heart went cold.There was no Ji Xiaocai in front of him, he was in a room, it seemed like a storage room, and there were various utensils in the room.One of the windows was open, revealing a view outside, clean roads and well fenced.

Gu Tailai frowned, suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him, and something icy touched his neck, he heard a deep male voice say: "Who are you? Turn around slowly."

Gu Tailai turned around, and in front of him was a man in white clothes who was about the same height as him. He said it was white clothes, but in fact it was already very dirty.His face was tired, but he still had an arrogant and cold expression. His appearance was somewhat similar to Ji Xiaocai's, but he was tougher.

Gu Tailai looked at him, and he looked at Gu Tailai.

After a while, both of them frowned.

"Gu Tailai."

"Ji Lanye."

"It's really you." Ji Lanye sneered, and the blade lightly slashed across Gu Tailai's head, leaving a bloodstain, "Where is Xiao Cai? Hand over my brother!"

Gu Tailai glanced sideways at the sword around his neck, and asked him, "Where's Zhou Zhaoji?"

Ji Lanye was taken aback for a moment, then scoffed, "Dead."

Then, in front of the panicked Xiao Caiji,

It turned out to be another "Ji Xiaocai"! ?
