Notes on building a city in the immortal world

The mountains and forests are pitch black at night, and the small river in the forest is like an abyss.

In such a mountain forest, Shengyu couldn't spread his wings to fly, so he had to turn into a pretty little girl, and because of his poor eyesight, he had to pull Zhenyan's sleeve.

Mr. Wu, who also followed, seemed like a fish in water, but this one seemed too used to being a fugitive, and every step he stepped on was in the blind corner of Zhenyan's sight, making Zhenyan not sure if this person was still following.

Zhenyan had no choice but to see clearly every step under her feet.

Fortunately, the distance that children can reach is not too far.

After walking for about a stick of incense, Zhenyan arrived at the pool.

This water pool is not far from the river beach of the last entrance examination, in an empty wasteland, it looks clear at a glance, and it doesn't look like there are people.

Zhenyan felt that the village chief and the others must have come here to look for them, and they would go further away when they saw no one.

Zhenyan looked at the pitch-black pool: "Could it be a mistake...!"

"..."

Zhenyan was thinking about it when he saw Mr. Wu appearing from behind him like a shadow, standing so close that he almost fell into the pool in fright.

"There's something wrong here," Mr. Wu looked around nervously: "Young master, you don't seem to have any self-defense weapons?"

"I don't usually have the habit of carrying weapons," Zhenyan said.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have a weapon, I will protect the young master!" Sheng Yu raised his neck, showing his presence.

But now it looks like a little girl, which makes Zhenyan feel a little embarrassed.

They are all cultivators, it seems that it is really unreasonable not to have a weapon.

Zhenyan decided to go back and see if there was anything suitable.

Of course, it is too late to say this now.

Mr. Wu took off the saber from his waist and handed it to Zhenyan: "You take this first."

I don't know what school Mr. Wu is. He wears five sabers around his waist all the year round, like an armory.

"Thank you," Zhenyan didn't refuse. He took the long sword and asked strangely, "What's wrong here?"

"It's too dark." Mr. Wu said.

But he didn't mean to explain, he just took a step back, and suddenly disappeared into the darkness as if appearing.

"..." It seems that this gentleman is the most strange.

However, Zhenyan still tried to observe the surroundings carefully.

Today is a sunny day with no clouds in the sky, but it is the night of the new moon, except for three or two stars, the sky is as black as a curtain, and even the forest below is also dark, like the silhouette of a monster.

Isn't it that dark at night?

Zhenyan felt that when he came out of Bailu Village, the whole forest was so dark.

Zhenyan couldn't see anything unusual, and asked Shengyu again, "What do you think?"

"Yo? People think it's about the same."

It's almost the same, anyway, Shengyu can't see anything clearly at night.

Zhenyan thought about it, and felt that since Mr. Wu didn't want to say more, he didn't want to ask more, so he should act according to his own ideas, so he said to Shengyu: "Then let's see what's under the pool."

"There's nothing!" Shengyu turned his head strangely, and then suddenly realized: "Are you worried that those little ghosts will drown? No, there is no smell of ghosts here."

Zhenyan didn't feel that so many people were drowned in this place: "I want to see if there are any clues."

Seeing Zhenyan's insistence, Shengyu did not continue to object.

Anyway, Shengyu itself is a kind of fierce bird that "sees the country's flood", and controlling the water is a piece of cake for it.

"Yo!" Shengyu yelled.

Her red feather coat covered her petite body, turning into huge wings, and with the flapping of the wings, all the water in the pool was stirred up, drawing a perfect circle in the air, revealing The wet stones at the bottom of the pool come.

If it is in daytime, this is quite a beautiful scene.

The clear pool water was splashed with splashes, and the school of fish was also lifted up into the sky with the splashes. The silver fish scales reflected the bright sunlight, and the fattest fish entered Shengyu's stomach...

Thinking of this, Zhenyan paused.

He stared at the water column raised by Shengyu, and suddenly realized why it was too dark.

The water column is too dark!

Even on a moonless night, this pool of water is too dark to reflect any light, and this pool of water is not in a dark place, but in the middle of an empty wasteland!

Especially after Shengyu lifted the pool of water, it became more obvious.

I saw that in the deep night, the pool water was like ink, too dark to see through.

At the beginning, it was still spinning in the air following the direction of the wind blown by Shengyu, but the moment it fell, it suddenly turned into a huge black hand and grabbed Shengyu's head——

"Shengyu, come back!"

"Yo!?"

Zhenyan cried anxiously.

Unexpectedly, the ink-like pool of water directly passed Shengyu and grabbed Zhenyan.

Fortunately, Mr. Wu is still here.

The black hand transformed from the pool water did not really touch Zhenyan, but was blocked by Mr. Wu with a sword. Only a little water splashed on Zhenyan's body, but every drop of water was bitingly cold, and Zhenyan felt the water drop The cold pierced through his skin, froze his blood, penetrated his bone marrow, and even his soul trembled.

Zhenyan hugged her arms and her teeth chattered from the cold.

He looked worriedly at Mr. Wu who was fighting against the black water, and couldn't imagine how a mortal body could endure the freezing cold.

But at this time, Shengyu still didn't seem to understand the situation.

"Yo, the water is gone?" Shengyu stared blankly at the empty pool, as if he didn't understand what happened.

"Shengyu, help Mr. Wu!" Zhenyan ordered.

"What are you helping me for?" Shengyu asked blankly, and it looked in the direction of Mr. Wu: "What is that person fighting with?"

"Pond water! Can't you see it?"

"M~~" Shengyu squinted his eyes, staring at Mr. Wu's direction like myopia: "There is nothing! And how do people fight with water?"

Come on, you can't count on this silly bird.

On the other hand, Mr. Wu never expected Shengyu to help him from the beginning.

The moment he saw the pool of water, he knew it was not some monster, but a "weird".

"Weirdness" cannot be solved by fairy arts. It is more like a "phenomenon" that cannot be defeated and cannot be eliminated. What is even more terrifying is that it cannot escape, because the moment you see it, it also sees you. .

Mr. Wu immediately decided to distract "weird" by himself and let Zhenyan escape.

As long as Zhenyan returns to Nangongqin, there will always be a solution.

As for Mr. Wu himself, he felt that his life was originally saved by Nangongqin, so it doesn't matter if he returns it. Besides, he also found an excuse to hand over his most important "relic" to Zhenyan. Nangongqin should know when he saw that What means.

Right now, Mr. Wu fought a few tricks with "Weird", and felt that it was almost done, so he turned around and shouted to Zhenyan:

"Young master, hurry back—"

Before Mr. Wu could finish his words, he saw a cloud of "weirdness" covering Zhenyan's back. In the tumbling black liquid, the faces of children crying and struggling could be vaguely seen, and then they swallowed Zhenyan——

Mr. Wu could only warn in vain:

"Be careful--!"

"brake!"

The sound of drawing the knife and the warning sound sounded at the same time.

Mr. Wu stared dumbfounded at the mass of black liquid being chopped into two pieces, and "Weird" let out a child-like scream of pain, and it turned into water droplets and scattered down.

Along with the dissipation of the black liquid, the children who fell to the ground and the unwavering Nangong Zhenyan appeared at the same time.

I saw Nangong Zhenyan holding the long sword in the posture of holding a knife, with a dignified and beautiful figure, but his face was full of confusion, as if he didn't even understand what he had done.
