After the immortal disappeared

He was carrying a bucket, apparently intending to go to the lake to fetch water. He was moving slowly and leisurely, but when he inadvertently raised his head, he saw the Tiangong team on the other side.

His eyes widened immediately, and then his feet slipped and he fell sprawling on the stone beach.

The pebbles on this rocky beach are of various sizes and are very harsh. Some are bigger than coconuts. Anyone who accidentally hits them may get a big hole in the back of their head.

But the farmer seemed to feel no pain at all. He got up and ran into the woods.

That kind of panic, as if the people standing on the other side of the lake were all evil spirits.

How could Bai Ziqi ignore this unusual situation? With a wave of his hand, three people rushed over to capture the farmer.

Something strange happened:

Three powerful men couldn't catch a skinny farmer!

This farmer seemed to have no cultivation or martial arts, he was just an ordinary person. The Luodian people in the Tiangong team reached out and grabbed his arm. It should be as easy and comfortable as pressing down on a chicken. Who would have thought that he could kill the strong man with just a wave of his hand? Staggered!

"Huh?" Bai Ziqi frowned. This farmer had neither skills nor supernatural powers, he was just strong.

In full view of the crowd, all the cloud envoys and gods in the Heavenly Palace are watching! The man was so angry that he didn't hold back any more. He opened his arms and gave a naked choke, trying to strangle the peasant until he had no strength to resist.

The farmer was indeed so strangled at first that he rolled his eyes and instinctively tried to break the strong man's wrist.

His wrist was twice as thick as his, but no one expected that he could really move it!

The strong man roared repeatedly to encourage himself, and even though he tried his best, he was still being pushed further and further apart.

The two practitioners on the side couldn't stand it anymore, so they threw out a pair of demon ropes and tied up the farmer.

To deal with a dirt-legged guy from the countryside, you actually have to use magical weapons. This is really the most ridiculous thing in the world.

As a result, the farmer became so violent that the rope that bound the demon was almost torn apart.

The other person saw that the situation was not good and quickly added another one, then restrained him and dragged him to Bai Ziqi.

During this process, the farmers kept yelling.

He spoke very quickly, but the trouble was that no one present could understand him!

There is a language barrier, so everyone is gibbering when they hear him speak.

He was dragged in front of Bai Ziqi, and he shut his mouth immediately, his face turned pale, and his identity kept shrinking.

This is a sign of extreme fear.

Bai Ziqi knew that his appearance was not upright, but it was not to the point of scaring people to death. So, what did this man see?

"Look at the reflection in his eyes!" The gray parrot flapped its wings, flew behind the farmer, and hit him on the back of the head.

The man stumbled forward, and the scene in his eyes was magnified into a shadow, appearing in front of Bai Ziqi——

A Yaksha, with black and green skin and scales all over his body, a flat nose, protruding mouth and buck teeth, and his eyes still have vertical pupils.

The fierceness is threatening.

Such a ferocious monster will scare anyone who comes close to it.

Bai Ziqi stared at it, and it stared at Bai Ziqi.

Bai Ziqi tilted his head, and it also tilted its head.

So in the eyes of this farmer, this is what Bai Ziqi looks like?

He pointed to Bai Shi beside him: "Look at him."

The farmer didn't understand, so the guard next to him turned his face to face Bai Shi.

Looking at the shadow under his eyes, Bai Shi appeared to be another Yaksha, with gray hair and a bowed nose, dark red and sticky skin, and a smaller figure.

The same is true when the farmer looks at other people. The characters he sees will automatically transform into the appearance of a yaksha.

But Bai Ziqi also found that these Yashas looked a little blurry, and their scales were not fine. They looked like dolls with poor workmanship, but their ferocious and terrifying aura made up for it.

"Human eyes see things only because of the mischief of light." Gray Parrot said, "Qian Huan or Huan Sect has given you an illusion, and this farmer thinks you are monsters."

But Bai Ziqi couldn't clarify it because the two parties didn't understand the language.

"Why Yaksha?" Since it is an illusion, what is wrong with letting this peasant see it? Why does it have to be Yaksha?

In the fantasy world, it is also the Yaksha who comes out of the Upside Down Lake to kill and eat people, and fights against the troops of the Heavenly Palace.

As a result, they crossed the lake and came to the real world, and they also transformed into Yaksha in the eyes of the locals.

This kind of inversion is terrifying to think about.

Bai Ziqi lowered his head and saw that the ring on his hand did not shine. This also shows that it did not detect magical powers or disguises.

If it wasn't magic, why did the farmer think they were Yakshas?

While he was thinking, the farmer suddenly broke the rope that bound the fairy, turned around and ran towards the woods.

Very fast.

Bai Ziqi said casually: "Kill him."

Bai Shi grabbed a spear and stabbed the farmer in the back.

His eyesight was extremely accurate, and the spear head flew out, then forward and backward, and stabbed the farmer's heart right through with a whoosh.

The man screamed and fell to the ground dead on the spot.

Bai Qiqi casually picked up the Immortal Binding Rope on the ground and saw that the cross section had indeed been forcibly broken open. He couldn't help but be surprised: "How can a farmer get such strength?"

Bai Ziqi's expression became even more gloomy: "You should say, how can an ordinary person who has his heart pierced scream so loudly?"

The farmer's loud cry before his death resounded through the sky, startling the ravens in the forest. Even a person who is short of energy can't imitate it, let alone a person who is on the verge of death?

Just being such a mountain farmer made everyone feel that something was wrong.

At this moment, Bai Shi held the silver bead fruit and said, "Sir, the light of the fruit disappeared."

Since they landed, the light of the silver pearl fruit has become weaker and weaker. It has been a quarter of an hour now and the light has gradually disappeared. Even for the silver bead fruits on the branches, the time has come because the sky is bright.

The silver pearl fruit that no longer glows looks like a big pear.

This means that there is no way to go back to the fantasy world. Bai Ziqi hummed: "Go to the towns ahead and take a look. Nothing is right in these places."

The gray parrot asked him: "How to say?"

"The total number of mortals in this overturned sea of ​​reality and illusion exceeds two to three hundred thousand people. Did the Immortal Cave that the God Lord captured in the past ever take in so many mortals?"

"Never before." Gray Parrot said without thinking, "Most of the so-called immortals are lonely people; those who can become successful are only served by a few hundred mortals at most. This time I entered the fantasy world of the Upside Down Sea and saw tens of thousands of people living on the island. , I’m a little surprised too.”

"What restricts the number of people in the cave is spiritual energy?"

"Of course." There are many other reasons, but Bai Ziqi hit the key point, and Miao Zhantian followed his words, "The spiritual energy of the cave is precious, and it is not enough for the immortals to use it for themselves. How can they be willing to share it with mortals?"

Bai Ziqi then pointed to the sand table: "Even if the upside down sea can absorb the spiritual energy of the Shining Gold Plains for his own use, is it too much for Master Qian Huan to raise hundreds of thousands of mortals in his cave? Even if he has to serve the entire Huan Sect , Thirty to fifty thousand people are enough.”

"Qian Huan is not so kind. These hundreds of thousands of people must have other uses."

Bai Ziqi started to speak but stopped. As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it only takes a moment, but what is the purpose of raising so many mortals at the same time and for so many years?

The gray parrot saw it and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Bai Ziqi still hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "According to the judgment of the god, is this really the real world?"

Of course he believed deeply in the divine power of Miao Zhantian. However, didn't the matter of He Xiao's connection with Dafang Hu escape Miao Zhantian's eyes?

Although the Eye of Truth is powerful, it is not absolutely undeniable.

What's more, what they have to deal with this time is an ancient mirage whose temperament, methods, and deeds are elusive!

The gray parrot made no sound, as if lost in thought, and suddenly fluttered its wings and flew towards the farmer's corpse on the ground.

When it stood on the branch and looked down, a small one-eyed shadow appeared above its head. The eyeballs turned twice and suddenly turned red!

It emitted another red light, covering the farmer's corpse.

Everyone watched for a moment.

At first, there was nothing unusual about the corpse, but after the Eye of Truth blinked twice, the red light turned thicker and became as bright red as blood.

Anyone can tell at a glance that Miao Zhantian has increased his investment in the Eye of Truth and improved his divine power.

Under the red light, the farmer's corpse became more and more transparent from the outside to the inside.

Not only the skin and clothing, but also the muscles, internal organs, nerves and bones in the body are exposed.

With the blessing of the Eye of Truth, everyone briefly had the power of perspective.

"No!" Gray Parrot suddenly said, "This is not the soul fire of a living person!"

Under the red light, everyone in the Heavenly Palace could see that there was indeed a small flame beating inside the farmer's skull, but it became increasingly dim.

"In my true eyes, the soul fire of a living person is light yellow. The stronger the soul power, the heavier the color."

After saying that, the Eye of Truth changed its direction and shined directly at Bai Shi. The latter subconsciously raised his hand to block it, but once he was enveloped in red light, others could see the deep yellow flames active in his brain.

With this comparison, everyone can see the problem:

The flame in the farmer's mind was dark blue!

Bai Ziqi understood: "From birth, a person's body and soul are matched. Only when the soul fire is nourished by the life stove can he have self-awareness. This is called soul creation."

He looked at the farmer's dark blue soul fire again: "Is this... a dead soul?"

"That's right!" Miao Zhantian's tone was full of anger, "This is not a living person at all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the corpse on the ground melted in the red light.

It was like a wax figure melting when exposed to fire, or like ice and snow melting. The farmer's corpse collapsed and turned into a puddle of water on the ground in full view of the public.

After the true eye saw through its true nature, it could no longer maintain its form and finally revealed itself.

"Water shell!" Bai Qiqi said in shock, "He, he and Yasha have the same body!"

Yasha is a product of Qian Huan's creation, and so is this farmer.

"The soul fire is dark green. Even if you don't kill him, he can't live in the world forever." But Miao Zhantian can't say how long it will take for these dead souls to fade from the soul fire to completely dissipate. After all, this is the Upside Down Sea. Who can I don’t know what Qian Huan did to these dead souls.

Bai Ziqi frowned: "But judging from this man's behavior, he doesn't seem to know that he is a dead soul."

The farmer's reaction when he saw the Celestial Palace procession was that of a living person fearing a yaksha.

At this moment, the team that went out to find the whereabouts of Huan Zong came back and reported quickly.

It turned out that they did not find the Huanzong team, but they found another group of strange behavior in the woodland by the lake.
