Countryside Rhapsody

The gurgling and bubbling pool aroused Qin Boran's vigilance, and he took two steps back silently. Qin Boran protected Lan Ke'er and He Min, who were still unable to break free from the illusion, behind him, not daring to blink Staring intently at the lotus pond where bubbles are constantly popping out.

Wearing a long white and pink dress, the woman with the lotus in her bun with clouds slowly raised her arms, and the reason for the continuous bubbling of the lotus pond finally surfaced.

On the left and right sides of the wide water lily leaf where the woman is, there are three circular stone platforms the size of washbasins, each of which is engraved with the same formation that looks like the veins of a lotus leaf, and there are six lanterns. Big and small jade frogs squat on the stone platform.

The three jade frogs squatting on the left are all ice blue, and the three jade frogs squatting on the right are all fiery red. They look as if they were carved from high-quality jade stones and are crystal clear and smooth. If they were not bulging The cheeks show signs of life, and people may even mistake them for decorations carved from jade.

Whether it is an ice blue jade frog or a fire red jade frog, they all hold the same musical instrument in their front paws. Six jade frogs are holding six different musical instruments. The first ice blue jade frog on the left is holding A string of rattles, and the two jade frogs beside it are holding a tambourine and a fife.

The fiery red jade frog closest to the woman is holding a guqin in its hand, and the two next to it are holding a pipa and a sanxian respectively.

Qin Boran saw that when the ice-blue jade frog holding the rattle made a crisp sound, a black cloud and mist dyed the full moon hanging high in the sky.

Originally, the appearance of a full moon on a rainy day was an unusual thing that violated the laws of nature. Now, the black clouds wrapped around the full moon add to the weird atmosphere everywhere.

Because of the appearance of the jade frog, the rain began to get heavier and the cold wind became colder. Even with the body protection, Qin Boran still shuddered. He couldn't help but feel worried about the two girls behind him. Everyone will feel cold. For the two girls behind them, the wind blowing on their bodies is probably more than cold.

He Min is a fire root cultivator, maybe it's better.

Lan Ke'er is a water spirit root, I'm afraid she will not only feel the coolness, but even be tainted with moisture.

Thinking of this, Qin Boran took out two neatly stacked plush capes that had not been worn from his storage bag, and put them on Lan Ke'er and He Min respectively to prevent them from catching cold.

After doing all this, Qin Boran's eyes returned to the lotus pond.

Although there are essential differences between the Fairy Wuta and the Demon Prison, none of this can change their common attribute of "eating people". As a secret realm, the Fairy Wuta will naturally not be a peaceful and peaceful place. Baby, you have to make preparations to risk your life.

Looking at the dry bones at his feet, Qin Boran knew that if he stayed here for a long time, there might be more variables, but Lan Ke'er and He Min have not yet escaped from the illusion, so he must not act rashly.

Although people who have fallen into hallucinations look empty, occasionally they will show different expressions due to encounters in the illusion. Qin Boran has observed the expressions of Lan Keer and He Min, and can tell that they are all in a dream Among them, just like him.

Among the illusions, the most destructive dream has always been the unrealizable dream, because it is the most longed-for expectation in the heart, and it is willing to give up the past that cannot be changed, so no one can help them escape from the illusion except those who have fallen into the illusion. get away.

Qin Boran can only try his best to protect the safety of the two of them, and prevent the surrounding murderous intentions from causing harm to Lan Ke'er and He Min. He can't help them escape from the illusion. This matter can only rely on their own strength.

Rubbing his brows, Qin Boran couldn't figure out why Helian Yingdou in the illusion would remind him of his hidden murderous intentions. The people who appeared in the illusion would only say what the people in the illusion most wanted to hear, and it was impossible to remind him Those who have fallen into the illusion are already in danger. The greatest function of the illusion is to confuse people's hearts and draw out the most secret desires in people's hearts.

The Helian Yingdou who appeared in Qin Boran's hallucination was the Helian Yingdou who had died before the time sequence of the Nine Stars was reversed, not the Helian who had photographed Ling Xiao outside the Xianlingwu Tower to look for him now Yingdou, the current Helian Yingdou cannot appear in the illusion, nor can he come to rescue him.

Why is that?

No matter how hard he thought, Qin Boran couldn't think of an answer, why the past Helian Yingdou would appear in the illusion of time and space that shouldn't appear, reminding him of his hidden murderous intentions.

Can't figure it out, but Qin Boran harbored a faint hope that even he himself didn't realize.

The jade frogs in front of me played the musical instruments one by one, and each jade frog played the instrument very seriously. Although they did not look like humans, they played better than most people in the world. Everyone's demeanor reminded Qin Boran of the unresolved Tianji Qin Banquet. The performance level of these six jade frogs surpassed most of the Qin Banquet participants.

Qin Boran listened carefully to Qin Shulan's pipa performance at the Tianji Qin Banquet. Compared with the jade frog playing the pipa in front of him, Qin Shulan's performance was like a beginner's child. Qin Boran couldn't believe it. The movement is played by six jade frogs, not six masters who practice music.

Although they are just jade frogs, when the tunes they play are intertwined, it becomes a real moving movement of "this song should only exist in the sky, and it is rare to hear it in the world①". Dancing with the accompaniment of the jade frogs, the gestures of the hands and feet are so breathtakingly beautiful that people dare not blink for fear of missing the next graceful dance.

The accompaniment of the jade frog made strands of black clouds wrap around the full moon, and the dancing posture of the woman changed the black clouds covering the full moon. Gathered into a ball, surrounded by very faint smoke.

Even if there is only one back view, the woman dancing on the water lily leaves is breathtakingly beautiful. Qin Boran couldn't imagine what such a woman would look like from the front, but his subconscious mind told him that dancing women are very dangerous, very dangerous, even It's possible...not human at all.

Clearly knowing that the danger should be eradicated early and not let it develop, but Qin Boran has nothing to do with the six jade frogs and the dancing woman in the rain and fog on the lotus pond.

It's not just the distance that is blocked by the rain and fog. There are unknown murderous intentions hidden in the rain and fog. The woman has not shown her strength, and Lan Ke'er and He Min are not yet awake. Qin Boran knows that he must not act rashly.

Holding his breath, Qin Boran realized that the woman was not just dancing. A trace of spell ripples popped out from the woman's ornate fingertips and scattered into countless glowing entourages that looked like fireflies, floating in the rain and fog, falling on the ground The essence of the flower is picked from the heart of the lotus in the lotus pond.

Although every flower that has been touched has not withered, it will gradually be dyed black, and after the little glowing bugs fly away, it will turn into a dark lotus.

The fireflies that picked up the essence of the flower did not fly back to the woman, but flew directly towards the direction of the moon, one after another, they flew into the black cloud that turned into a ball, and then disappeared .

After all the flower essences were poured into the cloud, golden threads appeared in the ball, just like the color of nectar, and even exuded a faint floral fragrance.

Qin Boran heard the dancing girl chuckle, the voice was as crisp as a silver bell, pleasant to the ear.

After laughing, the woman's dancing posture changed suddenly with the music. The originally soft dancing posture became vigorous after a volley jump. A light pink tulle long silk seemed to have life in the woman's hands. It was danced with amazing strength and beauty.

With a gentle rotation, the woman's true face is revealed in front of Qin Boran's eyes. She has a standard beauty tip, a standard oval face, standard snow-white skin, standard almond eyes that seem to be able to speak, and a standard beauty's nose tip. With the complimenting cherry red lips, the only shocking thing is that on the woman's left forehead, there is a layer of bluish-gray scales the size of a little fingernail.

The scales inserted into the hair obviously grew out of the woman's body. Under the moonlight, the scales glowed faintly with blue-purple light, which was shocking.

The scales covering the left forehead did not destroy the woman's appearance, but made her even more stunningly beautiful, out of the standard frame, with a touch of cold blood, the bottom of the tearful almond eyes was dark red, as if bloodthirsty of light.

The woman immersed herself in the dance wholeheartedly, without squinting, with a pious expression on her face, as if she had dedicated all her feelings to the ball illuminated by the moon, just to pray for the ball's response, Qin Boran didn't know this What does the dance represent, but the surrounding atmosphere is getting more and more disturbing.

The red lanterns hanging on both sides of the corridor bridge began to sway due to the strong wind. The candles inside the lanterns flickered, and even the corridor bridge itself shook.

Qin Boran hastily unlocked the sealed acupuncture points on Lan Keer and He Min, otherwise they would have fallen badly when they fell into hallucinations. There is a bench for monks to repair by the corridor bridge, and Qin Boran put the two of them together. Take them to the bench and let them sit down. Although it looks very dangerous near the lotus pond, this is the only way to prevent the two of them who are in hallucinations from falling.

When the fiery red jade frog playing the pipa dropped the last note, the woman also completed the last dance move. At the same time, the full moon in the sky was sucked into the black ball, and the surrounding lanterns suddenly doubled in size. The firelight was brighter, but it couldn't compete with the full moon's lighting intensity, and the surrounding area suddenly became dark.

After the black cloud ball completely devoured the full moon, the woman swung the long silk and pulled the ball down into the sky, holding it in her hands.

The musical instruments held by the six jade frogs disappeared at some point. At the same time, they jumped into the pond and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The stone platform became higher and higher, and the lotus leaf on which the woman was standing also began to rise.

The lotus leaf on which the woman was standing was no longer the shape of a lotus leaf, but transformed into a lotus flower in front of Qin Boran's eyes.

The original stone platform turned into the shape of lotus leaves, and dark green lotus leaves of the same size poured out from all directions, surrounding the woman on the lotus in the center, and the woman standing on the lotus holding the black cloud in her hands also changed.

Qin Boran saw that the woman's long skirt was getting shorter and shorter, and became a short skirt that only reached above the knees, and the long sleeves had also shrunk to be sleeveless. There were scales on both arms that were the same as those on the face, and on the scales Fish-fin-like tissues also grew out, and the front part of the clothing on the woman's back disappeared, turning into five silver chains of the same size. The woman lay on her side on the huge lotus seat, and her legs began to stick together.

Slowly, the shape of the legs disappeared, and scales covered the woman's legs, and the legs suddenly expanded twice as much as before.

To Qin Boran's astonishment, what appeared in front of his eyes was not the tail of a shark.

It was the back half of the crocodile, rough and strong, with a tail representing absolute power, and the woman's entire forehead was covered by blue-purple scales, and two thick antler-like horns grew on the scales Come.

Qin Boran had never seen such a creature before, and he couldn't recover for a long time because he was too shocked.

I saw the woman chanting the mantra silently, and the black cloud ball in her hand became smaller and smaller, until it was only as big as a pearl. The woman who had turned into a monster finally showed a satisfied expression, and then put the ball The smaller black cloud swallowed it in one breath.
