The Monk

Chapter 136 Ghost Cave

The Holy City was shocked when the news spread, and many people suspected that the Ghost Sword had appeared again. The news reached the wooden courtyard in the south of the city, and there was a heavy sigh for a long time, but there was no other sound.

Ushida reported the news of Feng Mian's death to Aotian in the woods outside the city. Aotian frowned and remained silent after hearing this. Two days later, news came back from the Eighth Camp Guard and Deacon Hall that his whereabouts had not been found within a hundred thousand miles around the Holy Capital. Aotian ordered: "Stop the pursuit and let the Deacon Hall re-elect the commander of Fengyingwei." After the order was conveyed, Aotian strolled to the ghost cave alone.

The middle-aged man was still sitting there waiting for Zhang Ping. He was very frightened when he saw Aotian coming, so he stood up and stood respectfully. Aotian glanced at him slightly and said calmly: "Let's go." The middle-aged man hurriedly said goodbye.

The huge ghost cave is so dark and silent that it feels like entering the world of death after entering. Zhang Ain stuffed the little pig into his arms, held Yunyi's little hand tightly and moved forward slowly. Song Yunyi hung the ancient jade gift from Lin Sen around her neck, held the Buddha futon given by Zuo Shi in her arms, and followed with the Moon Shadow Sword in hand.

Entering the ghost cave is a downward path, about one meter wide. Walk ten meters down the path and enter a small hall. There is no light in the cave. Zhang Ai condensed several light balls and scattered them in the air, looking around him. There are two doors in the hall, one at the front and the other at the back. One is the doorway that I just entered, and the other is dark and leads to nowhere. There was nothing else, even the walls were blank.

"Let's go." Taking Song Yunyi's hand, the two of them stepped across the threshold.

It was even darker and lifeless inside. After walking five steps into the door, I accidentally turned my head and saw that the doorway I came in had disappeared, leaving only darkness around me. In or out? Zhang was afraid that he couldn't help but feel anxious. Dozens of light balls popped up, illuminating a hundred meters around him as bright as day. The problem was that the door was really gone. He had only taken five steps, so why was there no trace of the door within a hundred meters?

Song Yunyi also noticed the problem, but did not panic. He just held Zhang Awei's right hand tightly.

The two of them stepped back and walked backwards in the direction they had just walked. However, after five or ten steps, they were still in the open space and could not return to the hall. Zhang Ai smiled bitterly at Song Yunyi and said: "We can't get out." Song Yunyi remained calm: "What goes in must come out." He condensed a large ball of light and pushed it forward slowly. The ball of light is bright, illuminating the scene ahead. A flat piece of black land stretched endlessly. The two of them stood in the middle, and there was endless black hard ground in any direction, front, back, left, and right.

The light ball flew farther and farther, and more and more black land appeared under the light of the light ball. Zhang Awei was surprised and asked: "Do you need to be so exaggerated?" He randomly chose a direction and ran quickly, trying to see if there was a road ahead. However, one hour passed, two hours passed, and the black land was still vast and boundless. Zhang was afraid that he would not believe in evil, so he picked up Song Yunyi and flew at full speed with his air wings. After flying for a full day, the scene in front of me has not changed at all. Under the light of the ball, it is still a flat black land, and in the distance is still a dark unknown place.

Song Yunyi suddenly said: "It doesn't seem right. Are we trapped in the formation?" Zhang Awei slapped his head: "Yes, this is basically an illusory formation!" He knew it was an illusory formation, but how to get out? The two frowned in thought.

Song Yunyi suddenly threw out the Buddha futon, sat cross-legged on it, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Less than half an hour later, many golden threads spread out around the Buddha futon, and the golden threads extended and entangled into the air, forming a large golden "swastika". Song Yunyi suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes shot out two golden lights as if they were real, hitting the word "卍" in the air, and shouted in his mouth: "Broken." The word "卍" was broken into four pieces, like four golden daggers. There was darkness in all directions, followed by boundless darkness in all directions, and the vast land beneath his feet was shattered, and was torn into pieces of black catkins by golden daggers, fluttering lightly in the air like feathers, and slowly disappearing into the darkness.

The ball of light just now disappeared together with the shattering of the dark enchantment. Zhang was afraid that another ball of light would pop out. In front of him was a corridor paved with square bricks. He turned around and looked back, and saw that the door was behind him. It turns out that as long as you cross the threshold in one step, you will step into the illusion array. Zhang was so angry that he cursed: "The person who built the ghost cave is so wicked. He didn't even have a choice. He was ambushed when he entered the cave."

Song Yunyi stood up and put away the Buddha futon: "I didn't expect this thing to be of great help." To deal with the illusions of evil sects and outsiders, the Buddhist stuff is useful. Zhang was afraid to hold her hand and move on. As if in response to his anger, just ten meters away, two forked roads appeared in front of him. Song Yunyi smiled and said: "I've given you a choice, which way to go?"

Zhang Wei really wanted to throw his shoe to determine the direction, but gave it up after thinking about it. What if the toe of the shoe points to the wall? You can never hit a wall. He said angrily: "I don't even need to light a few oil lamps. It's so dark that I can't see the road. How can I choose the left side?" I just picked a corridor and continued walking.

The ghost cave responded to his anger again. After entering the corridor on the left, light suddenly appeared. Many huge night pearls were embedded in the wall, pointing all the way into the distance.

"Ah! What are you thinking of? There won't be three forked roads ahead, right?" After saying this, he took a few steps and three roads appeared in front of him. In addition to the corridor leading to the distance, there was a small opening on each side of the left and right walls. The corner gate cannot be seen unless you get closer.

"What the hell, what the hell! What are you thinking about?" Zhang Awei jumped to his feet and said, and then two ghosts really appeared in front of him, one black and one white, staring at Zhang Awei gloomily.

"Am I still in the illusion formation?" As soon as he finished speaking, everything in front of him disappeared, boundless darkness descended again, and the familiar black hard ground reappeared under his feet.

Zhang Awei shook his head and sighed. The ghost cave made him helpless, and he couldn't tell whether it was a joke or scary. Song Yunyi took out the Buddha futon again, condensed the swastika again, and exploded it again, but the darkness still existed. Zhang Ai said: "Forget it, it's been a long day, let's rest." He took out the thick felt blanket and lay down on his back with Song Yunyi in his arms. Imagine that there is no moon, no stars, no lights and no fire in the dark night, the boundless earth, you are lying in the middle of the earth, there is no end no matter where you go, but you are lying in such a place, can you rest well?

It was darkness when he opened his eyes, and it was darkness when he closed his eyes. Zhang Ain muttered with a sense of luck: "It must be fake now." After saying this, the darkness disappeared, the corridor reappeared in front of him, and the door was still behind him.

Looking at the changes in the surrounding environment, Zhang Ai came to understand a little bit. They were still trapped in the formation, but it was not the original boundless dark illusory formation, but another completely different formation. Break the dark illusory formation and immediately step into it. This magic circle. Just like walking into the dark illusion array after crossing the threshold at the beginning, the exit of the previous array is the entrance to the next array. The arrays are connected and tightly interlocked, but I don't know how many arrays there are.

The first formation is the Dark Illusion Formation. Now this formation is what appears when I think about it. Can it be understood that I am the biggest here? Zhang Ai stood up and shouted: "I am a master of Yuanying." The spiritual energy in his body suddenly increased and strengthened. It was unimaginably powerful, and he felt like he had the world under his control. Zhang Awei smiled slightly, flicked his finger towards the passage, and said softly: "This formation can be broken with just one finger."
