Hard to be a master

Stepping into the illusion of water and moon, what Shen Ziliu saw was a world completely different from Kunlun.At first glance, it looks like a paradise of birds and flowers, but when you go deep into it, you will find that this place is actually full of dangers.As far as the eye can see, the mountains are undulating, the rivers are criss-crossing, there is a wilderness with flat rivers, and there are also lush forests with towering branches and leaves covering the sky.The valley full of exotic flowers and plants looks very beautiful, but it may turn into a swamp of death that devours everything the moment you step on it. One moment it was sunny and clear, and the next moment it may be thunderous. Surrounded by fire.

For a monk like Guan Jingxuan who has reached the alchemy stage, the harsh natural environment in the illusion is not a threat at all, but for a newcomer like Shen Ziliu who has just officially stepped into the door of cultivation, it is easy to adapt to such a situation. The environment requires a lot of effort.However, the real threat is not here, but from the monsters and evil spirits all over the illusion.

Water Moon Illusion only accepts Kunlun monks who have completed the foundation building but have not yet entered the alchemy stage, and monks at this stage often practice body and energy in Kunlun after worshiping in Kunlun. Xie Chong has fought, and he has never even left the mountain gate, so naturally he has no chance of actual combat.So when they entered the Water Moon Illusion, in addition to adapting to the harsh environment in the Illusion, they also had to overcome the fear of fighting monsters and evil spirits for the first time.Fortunately, the Shuiyue Illusion is very large, and the Illusion Manager of Tianyin Pavilion will also control the number of monsters thrown into the Illusion. If there are more monsters from the same sect during this period, they will temporarily receive the extra monsters. In other illusions, wait until the monsters in the water moon illusion are slightly reduced before replenishing them, which can be regarded as a disguised protection for the monks in the illusion.

Shen Ziliu was lucky. After entering the water moon illusion, he landed in a small peach forest. The peach trees were covered with peaches whose tops were already turning red. There was a sweet and attractive fruit fragrance in the air. And the fragrance of peach leaves.This peach grove is relatively low, and the tallest peach tree is about the same height as Shen Ziliu, so it will not hinder his sight.Crossing the peach grove, you can clearly see an open green space in front of you. A clear small river meanders on the green space and stretches into the distance. Wild flowers of various colors bloom sporadically by the river, which looks very beautiful from a distance.

After Shen Ziliu settled down in the peach forest, he observed it vigilantly for a while, and after making sure that there were no monsters around, he relaxed a little. He went to sit under the peach tree at the highest point of the hill, and took out a piece of moon-white brocade from his sleeve. With a charcoal pencil, while looking at the terrain around the hill, I slowly sketched the upper right corner of the brocade with a charcoal pencil.When he first entered the Water Moon Illusionland, he was floating in mid-air, just overlooking the panorama of the illusion, and he had a rough idea of ​​where he was.

Before entering the illusion, Guan Jingxuan gave him a little bit of experience in the trial of the water moon illusion. One of the points is that it is best to have a more comprehensive impression of the terrain distribution in the illusion, so as to avoid unnecessary problems. Second, you can make full use of the surrounding environment in the process of fighting monsters.No matter how bad it is, you can choose the best route when escaping.

After simply outlining the peach grove and the green space ahead in the upper right corner of the brocade, Shen Ziliu put away the things in his hands and stood up, ready to take a stroll around to see if there was any suitable place to stay nearby.Since he was going to stay in the illusion for three months, it was necessary to find a relatively safe place to stay.However, he had just walked a few steps down the hill when he saw a black shadow suddenly jumping in front of him. Before Shen Ziliu had time to distinguish what it was that flashed past just now, his whole body was suddenly plunged into thick darkness .

Almost at the same time when he fell into darkness, Shen Ziliu pulled out Tunxiang from behind with his backhand, and slashed forward with his sword without hesitation.The sword energy carrying spiritual power pierced through the darkness like a blue lightning, and at once there was only a shrill scream echoing in the endless ink, which made one's scalp tingle, but the scene in front of him did not change in any way .

Shen Ziliu frowned slightly, and was on guard in the darkness with a high concentration of energy, but he did not continue to swing his sword.Tunxiang, nourished by enough spiritual power, became the only light source in the darkness. With the light from Tunxiang, Shen Ziliu looked around. His limited field of vision was empty. There was nothing, not even stepping on his feet. It feels solid, as if he is hovering in a void surrounded by darkness.After a while, the creepy screams faded away, replaced by slow breathing.The sound of breathing was light but clear, as if it was right next to Shen Ziliu's ear, making one feel as if one could see something terrible right behind him just by turning his head.

If it were someone else, he would probably have been panicked by fright at this time, but Shen Ziliu didn't seem to be affected by it at all, his expression was extremely calm as usual, and he even withdrew the spiritual power on Tunxiang.Although it has been a few days since he got Tunxiang, he hasn't found a way to control the "greedy" characteristic of Tunxiang, and the current situation is not clear, so he doesn't dare to waste his spiritual power like before.Without Shen Ziliu's spiritual power supply, the red lines on Tunxiang quickly retreated, and the blue light on the sword disappeared quickly, and the eyes fell into boundless darkness again.While Shen Ziliu was paying attention to whether there were other abnormalities besides the sound of breathing, he quickly recalled in his mind whether there was any magic weapon Guan Jingxuan gave him that could be used to solve the predicament in front of him.

Unexpectedly, before he could come up with a result, he felt something forcefully entangle his ankle suddenly, and a burning pain came from his ankle instantly.Shen Ziliu quickly urged Tun Xiang to thrust his sword towards his feet again. This time he clearly felt that something had been stabbed, and the restraints on his ankles were immediately released, and the pain also eased.Shen Ziliu looked down along the blade of the sword, and saw in the faint blue light of the sword, something that looked like a dead branch or a shriveled human hand was being pinned by the elephant. Hissing.

And I don't know if it's an illusion, but Shen Ziliu always felt that the red light on Tunxiang seemed brighter than before.

Soon, the struggle of the thing nailed to the tip of the sword became very weak, and Shen Ziliu no longer heard the sound of breathing.Looking at the unknown object firmly pinned by the Tunxiang, Shen Ziliu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and without much thought, he poured a large amount of spiritual power into the Tunxiang.Suddenly receiving a wave of powerful spiritual power, Tunxiang also seemed unable to react for a while. Before he could swallow it, most of the spiritual power was transmitted to the tip of the sword through the body of the sword under the urging of Shen Ziliu, and then directly on the sword. The tip of the sword exploded.

This time, accompanied by a scream that was much shriller than before, the darkness in front of him was instantly torn apart.Suddenly seeing the light again, Shen Ziliu narrowed his eyes reflexively, but the sword in his hand did not relax at all.After he quickly adapted to the light outside, he opened his eyes again, and saw a petite woman in white clothes curled up in front of him, the Tunxiang in his hand was piercing the woman's shoulder, and the white clothes on her shoulders had been smeared. A lot of it was dyed red.
