"No, Xiaoyin," said the black cat, "the legend is true. The Great God White Deer came here, and he brought a witch with him. Become a Shenmu. The other unlucky guys who died here are different from the time when the Great God came, and should come after the Great God."

"Then we just need to find the place where Bailu went out, and we can go out!" Qi Yin's eyes lit up.

In fact, this is not necessarily the case. If Bai Lu had set up a teleportation circle outside before he came, then no matter where he was trapped, as long as he didn't get out of Bashan, he would be able to get out by drawing a teleportation circle.It's a pity that they didn't know the danger, so they entered in a daze.But if this is the case, it is a dead end, Qi Yin is still more willing to believe that Bailu has a way out.

After searching for a long time, I didn't find any golden wrong books.Qi Yin didn't want to give up, and dug several rock walls, but there was nothing but bones.In this way, the only option is to try again by water.It is not easy to fight in the mud, and Fulan has to protect him and the black cat.But if you fight to the death with those ghosts, you might have a chance.Just about to speak, Fulan squatted in front of Jin Cuoshu and looked at it for a while, then suddenly she drew a knife, the light of the cross knife shattered the stone wall, revealing a dark tunnel mouth beside Jin Cuoshu.

"Wow..." Qi Yin lay on the side of the tunnel and watched, "Brother, you are amazing, how do you know there is a tunnel here?"

"Guess." Fu Lan asked, "Do you want to go in?"

"Go in and have a look, maybe there is a way out, anyway, I don't want to meet those ghost hands again." Qi Yin said.

The black cat agreed, and Fulan climbed in. Just as Qi Yin was about to follow, Fulan backed away again, and her butt just touched his head.Qi Yin retracted her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Someone was crying inside." Fu Lan said.

Qi Yin's heart trembled, he had just experienced ghostly laughter, and now he was crying ghostly again.Damn, let people live in peace?Qi Yin climbed in and listened carefully, there was silence in the tunnel, there was no sound, Qi Yin crawled back in a daze, and said: "No, is it because you have hallucinations?"

Just after he finished speaking, a faint sobbing sound came from the depths of the tunnel, this time it was very clear, as if it rang right next to his ears.

"Okay," Qi Yin said, "let's make a choice, should we fight the crying ghosts, or go back and beat the ghosts?"

"No need," Fu Lan said in a low voice with the knife across her waist, "it's coming towards us."

Fulan and Qi Yin stood guard at the entrance of the tunnel, and the black cat crouched at Fulan's feet.The crying became louder and louder, and there was also the sound of rustling and crawling.Qi Yin took a deep breath and stared at the hole.After a while, a shriveled head sticks out from inside.It was a monkey-like guy, with a large part of his forehead sunken, two bloodshot eyes protruding, two holes drilled in the top of his bare head, and the bright red brain inside could be vaguely seen, trembling with his movements. Trembling.He crawled out, sobbing, and went to the fire.The firelight reflected his thin figure, his tattered robes and dirty soap boots.He squatted there warming the fire, chattering and muttering to himself.

Qi Yin couldn't believe her eyes, she lowered her voice and said, "It's Zong Lan!"

"How do you know, have you seen him?" the black cat asked.

"I've seen a fart, I was not born when he disappeared." Qi Yin said, "It's his clothes, it's the material that Wufang elders can only wear. Wufangshan's family is rich, and their elders all wear silk from Suzhou and Hangzhou. A piece of satin is worth ten taels of silver."

Those who can afford silk are called sword immortals, and those who cannot afford silk are called stinky Taoist priests.

In fact, of the four great fairy mountains, only Feng is poor.According to the dog thief in Yunzhi, every few years Qingshi would visit several great fairy mountains with a cane.On the surface, they were visiting as guests, but in fact they were begging for food, soliciting funds from the leaders of various factions to repair the steps of the Fenghuanshanmen Memorial Archway and so on.

Qi Yin sighed when Shimen broke things and couldn't bear to look back.Looking intently at Zong Lan, he asked, "He is gurgling, what is he talking about?"

Everyone listened attentively, Zong Lan's tone was vicious, and he could vaguely hear him saying: "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"

The two looked at each other, who was he talking to?Seeing that he looked a little crazy, Qi Yin thought twice, told Fu Lan and the black cat not to move, walked to the bright place by himself, and coughed.Zong Lan shuddered, and turned around, his deformed face was exposed in the light, Qi Yin was startled even though he had made mental preparations.

"Excuse me, are you Senior Zong Lan?" Qi Yin saluted, trying to slow down his tone in order not to scare him.

Seeing him, Zong Lan asked tremblingly, "Who are you! Are you...are you a child of Wufang Mountain? You came to look for me, right?"

"I'm Feng Huan's disciple, who strayed into this place and met senior." Qi Yin approached him cautiously, "Don't be afraid, senior, my elder brother and I will try our best to take you away from this place and send you back to nowhere."

Fu Lan also appeared and bowed to him.

Zong Lan shed tears, choked up and couldn't speak.Seeing that his whole body was trembling and his hands were as cold as ice, Qi Yin asked Fu Lan for an outer garment, although it was covered with mud, it was about to be able to wear it, so Zong Lan put it on.There were some mushrooms left in the pot, and he ate them again in his hand, and he drank up half a bag of water in Qiankun bag, too.The black cat felt sorry for those mushrooms, but dared not speak.

This old man must have lived in this place for more than 11 years. Fortunately, people who practice Dao live with bigu, and eating is not a problem.Judging by his unkempt appearance, he must be going crazy.Qi Yin comforted him a few words to stabilize his mood, and then asked him where the other [-] people were going.Speaking of his companions, the old man wobbled again. He staggered to the edge of the cave, and counted twelve skeletal faces on the rock wall. "They are all here..."

"Why are they here?" Qi Yin was shocked.

"There is a big monster in this wall, it eats people." Zong Lan looked around at the corpses, "These people, monsters, and monsters are all eaten by him. I have been hiding from it until today, and finally waited for you to come Save me!" Zong Lan stared straight at the black cat, swallowed, and Fu Lan hurriedly hugged Master Cat into his arms.

"Monster? What kind of monster? Does it have many hands?" Qi Yin asked.

Zong Lan shook his head, "I don't know, I've only seen part of it. Look at this tunnel, which extends in all directions, like a maze. This is the hole it made. Don't be too scared, it has no eyes, it As long as you don’t move when it comes, it won’t be able to find you. We need to find a way out as soon as possible before it comes.”

Qi Yin's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Senior, do you mean that there is no way out of this tunnel?"

"No, of course not!" Zong Lan said in horror, "All the tunnels lead to only one place, which is the monster's lair. I never dare to approach it!"

This is really a ghost, for the current plan, is the only way to go back and compete with the ghost hand?Qi Yin scratched her head and asked again: "How did you get in, senior?"

"How did I get in...how did I get in..." Zong Lan squatted against the wall, his ugly face twisted, "There is a monster living in my head, he led us in. I was originally a teacher It was my destiny to explore the Bashan Temple and find the way to save the decline of Taoism. But halfway, there was a monster living in our brains. At first I didn't find it...I thought it was me...It is day by day Yeye spoke to me, to each of us, and we entered the Bashan Moon Mirror according to its instructions. It said...it said it wanted to find Wu Yuli's secret. Who is Wu Yuli? I don't know...I I don't know, I only know that I must find his secret. I must find it!"

"Did you find it?" Fu Lan asked.

"I don't know...I don't know..." Zong Lan trembled, "Later, I gradually discovered that it wasn't my own thoughts, it was the monster in my head! I don't want to listen to it, I think I can't go back. But every time I hear it, I can't help it. Sometimes, I can even feel it... You know, it's in my head!"

"So you... drilled your own head?" Qi Yin asked hesitantly.

"That's right," Zong Lan scratched his scalp and showed Qi Yin, "Look, I drilled this all myself. And my forehead, I hit the wall myself. I want to get this dead monster out, I want Kill it!" Zong Lan covered his face and cried bitterly, "My companions are all dead, killed by that big monster, I am the only one here, child, take me back to Wufang, I want to go home .”

The monsters that Zong Lan talked about living in his mind should be the gods that Nu Luo talked about.Although what the old man said was confusing, Qi Yin still understood.It seems that the so-called whispering of the gods is a technique to tamper with the will of others.Similar to soul-stirring, but more sophisticated than soul-stirring.It seems that it can be mistaken for a self-independent choice, but there are still flaws in this technique. After decades of facing the wall, Zong Lan finally learned to resist the influence of whispers, although he is almost crazy.

Qi Yin tried his best to comfort him, "Don't worry, we will definitely take you out. To be honest, my father, Qi Yuanwei, is Wufang's previous sword-wielding elder. In terms of seniority, I should call you Master Uncle."

"Good boy, good boy," Zong Lan said with tears, "What's your name?"

"Junior Qi Yin."

Zong Lan was taken aback, and murmured: "Qi Yin..."

Suddenly, the end of the tunnel shook, like thunder on the ground.Qi Yin stabilized himself and Zong Lan, and said, "An earthquake?"

"No, it's a monster coming! Everyone, don't move!" Zong Lan pushed Fu Lan to hide beside a stalagmite with his cat in his arms, while he and Qi Yin squatted on the other side.

Everyone lowered their bodies and did not dare to move. They saw many dark green things protruding from the dark tunnel entrance.The surface is smooth and shiny, like vines, and the fluorescent meridians flowing with spiritual power can be vaguely seen inside.The end is split like a flower, like a small human hand.Qi Yin felt familiar looking at it, and suddenly remembered, could it be that those ghost hands are this thing?It was probably because they were chopping up the witch corpse in the swamp too loudly, which attracted these vines.

The ghost hand of the vine walked towards the outside, flinched when encountering the fire, turned around, and snaked towards Qi Yin.Qi Yin didn't even dare to breathe, and stared at the vine very nervously.Suddenly, he felt a burning sensation in the back of his head, and when he turned around, he saw Zong Lan staring at him sinisterly.His bulging eyeballs were bloodshot, terrifyingly scarlet, with a kind of cruelty like a tiger and wolf.

Is this guy stunned?Qi Yin's heart skipped a beat, and he heard the old lunatic grit his teeth and said viciously: "Qi Yin, you little bastard, you have worked hand in hand with the monster, and made me trapped here for decades! The monster kept talking in my head, you must I want to keep you safe. I don't want to, even if I die, I will give you the life of a dog!"

Zong Lan roared and threw Qi Yin to the ground.Qi Yin secretly scolded those gods who failed to accomplish anything but failed, struggling desperately, Zong Lan got the strength from somewhere, and hugged him tightly.Over there, Fulan wanted to save someone, but was a step too late.I saw the ghostly hand of the vine protruding like a snake, and like a black lightning, quickly dragged the two of them into the tunnel.
