Treasure Hunt

"Mirage?" Ling Xiao frowned. She has been a fairy for many years, and she has visited the lower world many times, but she only came to the Wilderness once, because the people are sparsely populated and the sky is full of yellow sand. been here.This is the first time I have heard of such a thing as a mirage. ?

"Mirage is an extremely rare sight in the wilderness. It is illusory and does not exist in the first place. That is to say, the oases we have seen from yesterday to now are all mirages." Nan Ci explained briefly.

It seems that the situation is not optimistic...

Jiang Yu thought with a sad face, and sighed secretly that his luck was really bad enough, and he could even encounter the rare mirage.I thought that if I found the oasis, Yingyuan jade would be found soon.Now it seems that it is not so easy.Helpless, the group had no choice but to continue walking.

After a long time, Jiang Yu was a little tired, but he couldn't bear to ask Nan Cidu to give him spiritual power.Just as he was dizzy, he suddenly heard Ling Xiao exclaim: "We are back where we were again!"

What?How can it be? !

"Really, look on this stone, there are still my writings with Xuan Ye's pen." Ling Xiao said.

The Xuanye brush is not an extraordinary product, it is a writing brush used by Lingxiao to keep records, and it is a gift from the Emperor of Heaven.Once written things will not disappear after a hundred years.

When everyone heard this, they were very surprised.Gather together and take a look - "Lingxiao is here for a visit." There is actually a brush drawn behind it!

Ga-ga-ga-crows flew over everyone's heads...

"It's a must for playing, this is an unwritten rule in our censorship circle~" Looking at the contemptuous eyes cast by everyone, Ling Xiao took it for granted. "Besides, if I hadn't left my handwriting, you wouldn't know you were lost!"

In this regard, Ling Xiao said that fortunately I have this good habit of visiting here and must carry it forward in the future.

"Nanci, have you noticed that it doesn't seem so hot here?" Jiang Yu looked up at the scorching sun, wondering if it was his own illusion, and always felt that although the sun was so blurry that people couldn't look directly at it, it was not as hot as yesterday Sweat like rain.On the contrary... it has more psychological effects.

"There are some, what does A Yu suspect?" Nanci looked at the endless wilderness, lowered his head and thought about some possibility.

"I don't know, are the mirages in the wilderness all oases?" Jiang Yu shook his head, looked at Nanci and said.

"Not necessarily, the mirage is just a reflection of other places..." Before Nanci finished speaking, Jiang Yu interrupted: "Elsewhere? If the other place is wild, then the mirrored mirage is natural Is it wild too?"

Nanci thought for a moment, smiled relievedly, and said: "It is possible, it seems that we may have entered a wild mirage."

"Is there a solution?" Jiang Yu asked.

"Of course there are. Mirages are created by light reflections. If there is a mirror blocking one side of the light, the mirages will be self-defeating." Nan Ci said.

"What's so difficult about this?" After listening to the two people's remarks, Ling Xiao also understood the general idea, so he sacrificed a half-person-high mirror from his arms, which was oval in shape, with gilt decoration on the edge of the mirror, and a purple piece inlaid on the top. gem.

Nanci took the mirror and exerted force on his wrist, and the mirror flew towards a huge rock. As Nanci's wrist turned around, the mirror turned slightly.

The mirror slowly turned to an angle, and the yellow sand under everyone's feet began to shake and became blurred. When Nanci adjusted the angle slightly, the yellow sand had completely disappeared, and everyone was still stepping on soft grass.Everyone looked around, and it was still yesterday's waterfalls, deep pools, cliffs, and shallows.

Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the mirage was broken.Everyone stopped hesitating and walked up the mountain.

After a while, Jiang Yu watched the compass shaking in his hand, and understood in his heart that it seemed that Yingyuanyu was not far away.

The group stopped at a huge cave. Jiang Yu looked at the dark cave in front of him, turned around and said to Lingxiao and Yinxi, "I can go in with Feihong. You two are outside to meet you. Don't act rashly."

"Nanci..." Jiang Yu turned his head, but Nanci was not there.

"That...he just entered the cave." Yinxi whispered.He has felt uneasy since he entered the mountain, and now he is no longer as excited as he was at the beginning.It is my first time to come to Xiaotudi, so some uneasiness is inevitable.

Jiang Yu couldn't help frowning, stopped talking to him, and entered the cave with Feihong one after the other.The cave was pitch-black, and chatter-cha-cha-cries could be heard from time to time.

Jiang Yu secretly cast a spell, "Jin Ping" was wrapped around his wrist, ready to attack at any time.

"Feihong" Jiang Yu called out in a low voice, but no one answered.

"Feihong? Are you there?!" The young man's voice was visibly sharper this time, but it was still eerily quiet.

Did it get lost? !

Originally, Jiang Yu was afraid that the light would startle the things in the cave, but now he can't care so much.With a flip of the palm, a lotus lantern hung in the palm, emitting a light pink light. Although it was a little faint, it could only illuminate Jiang Yu's surroundings, and there would still be endless darkness further away, but it was better than nothing.

Jiang Yu glanced around, then called Feihong's name twice in a low voice.Only then did Jiang Yu confirm the fact that he and Feihong had separated.Obviously came in along a road, did you see any fork, why did you get separated?

Jiang Yu couldn't figure it out.Now it is impossible to go back, so I have to go forward.After a while, two identical stone caves appeared in front of Jiang Yu, both half the height of a person.Jiang Yu's right eye twitched, as if something bad was about to happen.Finally, the young man chose the hole on the left according to his feeling.

Jiang Yu walked with his waist bent, holding the lantern in his hand in front of him. The stone road was only about three feet wide, so it might not be called a road.The surface is bumpy, and in some places there are water droplets seeping from the top down.Jiang Yu bumped his head against the top of the stone several times.

Next to the stone road is a river, Jiang Yu found that this water is not stagnant water, it has a flow direction, which is the direction Jiang Yu is heading.Since it is running water, there should be a way out ahead.Jiang Yu thought so.

Gradually, Jiang Yu heard some sounds that seemed to be fighting.So he quickened his pace and went through a smaller hole, and Jiang Yu's eyes suddenly opened up.In front of you is a spacious and huge natural open-air cave.The stone walls around are smooth and steep, covered with green plants that grow all year round, and you can see the bright moon hanging high at night outside hundreds of feet up.And Jiang Yu was standing on a protruding stone on the stone wall.

Looking down, there is a pool of water, and Feihong is confronting a beast on the stone altar in the center of the water.The beast's body was like a red leopard, with a horn growing between its eyes, and its five tails kept hitting the water surface, making a sound like hitting a stone.

Jiang Yu leaped and jumped off the rock.As soon as he landed, he wanted to step forward to help, but suddenly a person covered his mouth from behind. "Hush -- keep your voice down." The man whispered in Jiang Yu's ear.

Jiang Yu took a closer look, and Nan Ci stood behind him at some point. "That beast hasn't spotted us yet. While General Feihong is fighting with that beast, let's hurry up and get the Yingyuan jade."

Jiang Yu glanced at the man and the beast in the middle of the pool again, thinking that Feihong was also a generation with high martial arts skills, but that beast was able to hold a stalemate with a war god, which was really powerful.Can't help asking Nan Ci: "Where did that beast come from?"

Nan Ci did not look sideways: "The animal is named "Hide". It is one of the ancient beasts, and it is extinct in the world now, and it has never been out of this cave. Look at A Yu, that is Yingyuanyu."

Following Nanci's gaze, Jiang Yu looked over, and there was a round stone seat on the steps, which was probably the resting place for the ferocious beast.On the wall behind the circular stone seat, there are many irregular-shaped clusters of blue crystals, and the cluster of crystals in the middle embraces a bright red stone——Yingyuanyu!Jiang Yu walked up the steps and was about to fetch the baby jade.

"Slightly———" Seeing that someone was coveting the baby jade, the ferocious beast didn't want to fight. It jumped out of the stone altar and rushed towards Jiang Yu.

The vines in the air disappeared and appeared beside the ferocious beast instead.

"Boot!" Jiang Yu said lightly.Before the beast could react, "Jin Ping" wrapped itself around the leopard as if alive.Although this move couldn't directly kill the beast, it still blocked its attack.Seeing the fierce beast struggling on the ground, Jiang Yu no longer hesitated, and reached out to grab the bright red jade.

As soon as Yu Shi left his position, the three of them felt the ground shaking and the pool of water surging at the same time, and Na Xiong seemed to be sensed as well, and forced himself to get up from the ground and wanted to attack again.

Seeing this scene, the three of them knew in their hearts that the Yingyuan Jade must be the lifeblood of the mountain, and the jade was removed from its position, which disturbed the mountain, and the mountain might collapse soon.Without any hesitation, the three immediately took the jade and prepared to return by the same route.The moment he jumped into the cave, the stone altar in the center of the pool shattered, and the pool water surged tens of feet high, accompanied by the roar of a wild animal, pushing the broken stones towards the entrance of the cave.The three fled quickly, and to prevent them from getting separated, "Jin Ping" wrapped Nanci and Feihong around their waists.

After turning through three or four forks, the sound of pool water and the roar of "stern" were finally lost.The three of them slowed down.

"Since we have obtained the Yingyuan jade, let's go out quickly." Feihong said.

"Well, I always feel that there is something wrong with this place." Jiang Yu has always been an idealist, trusting his intuition, his right eye has been twitching since he came in, obviously nothing good.

Of course, his intuition has always been accurate.

"Nan Ci, Nan Ci?" Jiang Yu called twice, but saw that the young man did not respond.

Nan Ci stared at the calm river beside him, wondering what he was looking at.
