escape the nightmare

If you win, you live, if you lose, you die.

After Lin Feng and Jiang Zhang looked at each other, they rushed out together with a tacit understanding.

The evil spirit Yingyan found the target, immediately turned around and started chasing and killing them as Lin Feng and Jiang Zhang expected.

Lin Feng had seen Jiang Zhang's memory before, so he was very relieved to give Jiang Zhang Lin Feng the task of leading the way.And he was in charge of observing the situation of the evil spirit Yingyan from behind, estimating changes in her speed and strength.They hit it off immediately and started to perform their respective tasks tacitly.

Lin Feng looked at Yingyan's approaching figure, and he simply used his own pace as a reference to silently record Yingyan's current speed.He and Jiang Zhang deliberately slowed down from time to time, and the two tried to keep a distance from the evil spirit Yingyan that was not too far away but had time to react.Just when Yingyan was about to catch him, he dodged to the side and easily dodged her attack.

Lin Feng felt that Jiang Zhang was leading him around the imperial city of Nuo Da.They turned left and right for a while, Lin Feng couldn't tell which corner of the imperial city they had run to.Lin Feng's intuition told him that Jiangzhang should be repeating certain same routes non-stop.Although he was puzzled in his heart, seeing Jiang Zhang's confident appearance, Lin Feng's inner worries subsided a lot.

He subconsciously felt that although Jiang Zhang was a poisonous person, he was still very reliable.

Every time he passed a palace or building, Jiang Zhang would slow down a little to deliberately lure Yingyan to attack them, so that Lin Feng could assess Yingyan's attack power more accurately.

But the endless running and dodging quickly consumed their physical strength. Lin Feng felt that Jiang Zhang didn't slow down deliberately, but was really exhausted.Jiang Zhang's five fingers on his wrist began to tremble slightly, and his knuckles were already turning white. Lin Feng knew that he was trying his best to hide his exhaustion.

Lin Feng wanted to say otherwise, find a place to hide and have a rest.Although he knew that such a rest meant that all the previous temptations might be in vain—because without a timely comparison, it was difficult to intuitively make a qualitative judgment on the changes in the speed and attack power of the evil spirit Yingyan.But Jiangzhang's physical condition is indeed inconvenient to continue like this.

When Lin Feng was about to speak, Jiang Zhang took his hand again and continued his desperate "try".Lin Feng looked at Jiang Zhang's back, opened his mouth, and finally swallowed the words back into his stomach.

After going back and forth like this for an unknown amount of time, when the two of them were about to be exhausted, Lin Feng finally discovered that whenever they ran in a certain direction, the speed of the evil spirit Yingyan would indeed slow down, but Attack power will be greatly improved.

He quickly pieced together the roads that met these conditions in his mind. If nothing else happened, these roads could indeed be combined into a continuous path.

And the end of this road should be where they are going!

"Right!" Lin Feng shouted at Jiang Zhang after confirming again.

Jiang Zhang immediately understood what Lin Feng meant, he turned around quickly, dragged Lin Feng into the small path next to him.Then the job of leading the way was handed over to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng frowned, concentrating on recalling the road he had just memorized.This time, they don't have to let the evil spirit Yingyan catch up with them on purpose, they just need to try their best to run in the planned direction with their eyes closed. Yan came to dodge close.

All the way they walked along the path in the forest surrounded by dense fog, the branches hit their faces and hands, the darkness of the forest and the thickness of the fog gave Lin Feng a feeling that he could not run to the end.

He even began to doubt himself, whether he remembered it wrong.

Fortunately, their luck was not bad, Lin Feng finally found that the fog between the bushes gradually became thinner, and his sight gradually widened.And he found that the faint sound of bells and drums just now became gradually clearer.

The sound of bells and drums even gradually overwhelmed the cries of the evil spirit Yingyan.The sound was extremely rhythmic, as if hitting Lin Feng's heart directly.The sound of the bell reminded him of the evening drums in ancient temples, the sound was deep and distant, and he even had the illusion of being outside the world of mortals.

The next moment, Lin Feng suddenly felt a burning pain on his back. When he turned his head, he saw Jiang Zhang shaking his numb hand—the slap just now turned out to be Jiang Zhang's.Before he had time to ask Jiang Zhang what he meant, he heard Jiang Zhang say: "You're welcome, you owe me one more time."

Lin Feng: "... Huh?"

Jiang Zhang looked at Lin Feng's confused expression, and his joking expression suddenly became serious: "Don't tell me you didn't know that you almost got cold."

Lin Feng became more and more confused when he heard Jiang Zhang's words.Seeing him shake his head as he expected, Jiang Zhang sighed softly.

He told Lin Feng that just when they were about to get out of the woods, Lin Feng suddenly froze in place.No matter what Jiang Zhang called him, he still didn't respond. Jiang Zhang said that if Lin Feng hadn't opened his eyes, he even thought that Lin Feng had fallen asleep.The situation was urgent at that time, although the speed of the evil spirit Yingyan slowed down, she still continued to attack them violently.Jiang Zhang didn't care about that much, so he pulled Lin Feng hard. Fortunately, although Lin Feng was in a daze, he still knew how to move forward when being pulled, so Jiang Zhang pulled Lin Feng with one hand and pushed aside the branches in front of him with the other. , stumbled out of the woods.

Lin Feng looked at Jiang Zhang in disbelief. From Jiang Zhang's serious expression, he could tell that Jiang Zhang was really not joking this time.

Lin Feng suddenly remembered the bell that he had just heard.He asked Jiangzhang if he heard it too, and Jiangzhang nodded.Now Lin Feng was completely in doubt.He just appeared strange after hearing the bell, but Jiang Zhang obviously heard it too, but why was he the only one affected.

Jiang Zhang obviously understood what Lin Feng meant, and he pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

But now is not the time to delve into this issue.Just now, because they were eager to escape with their lives, they didn't seriously distinguish where they were in the imperial city.

Lin Feng looked around, it was a small courtyard surrounded by brick walls, the outer branches stretched into the courtyard, and the fallen leaves and dead branches were scattered all over the ground, obviously no one cleaned it for a long time.Lin Feng turned his head, and in front of him stood a towering flower pagoda. The body of the flower pagoda seemed to be carved out of ivory.This reminded him of the Yingyan costumes he saw at the beginning, they all had an atmosphere that didn't fit the age they should have.

Before he knew it, Lin Feng found himself at the foot of the flower pagoda. He looked at the gate carved with unknown patterns, and unconsciously stretched out his hand to touch it lightly.

The door itself seemed to be ajar, but Lin Feng pushed it open easily without using any force.Amidst the squeaks, Lin Feng heard the bell ringing in his ears again which made him lose his mind.This time he finally heard clearly, the bell was actually coming from the top of the Flower Pagoda.

The bell only struck once, and then there was no sound, and even the original echo disappeared completely.Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, he probably guessed what happened, and tentatively called Jiang Zhang.Sure enough, no one answered him.

Lin Feng sighed and opened the book.

"(three)

According to historical records, Baiyin Pagoda was completed in the spring of 608.

Emperor Jiacheng liked Jiayin alone. Since the completion of the pagoda, he has sent palace officials and ministers to search for all kinds of sounds in the world and all kinds of music in the world, and collect them all in Baiyin Pagoda.

Jade flutes and golden pipes, with five tones and six rhymes, gathered in the Baiyin Pagoda for a while.Every time it is dark, there will be the sound of evening drums on the top of the tower, spreading the sound of the city for thousands of miles, signaling a peaceful and prosperous age.

In 612, Mrs. Qingyan held a banquet for millions of guests in the pagoda, and the eight-tone melody was repeated.

Later, it was rumored that Queen Yan was good at dancing and was proficient in rhythm. She built a jade bell on the occasion of Emperor Jiacheng's birthday.Gongjiao Zhengyu has been passed down for hundreds of generations. "

Lin Feng looked at the contents of the book, even if he is a tone-deficient person, it is hard to disagree with the final evaluation of the bell in the book.

It is indeed the sound of nature.Lin Feng thought and closed the book.

"Damn it! What are you doing!" Just as Lin Feng put away the book, he saw Jiang Zhang raising his hand, and he was about to slap him again.Lin Feng reacted quickly this time, and immediately stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Zhang's wrist, only to avoid a slap that almost fell.

Lin Feng: "You're addicted to playing, aren't you?"

Jiang Zhang: "I haven't."

Jiang Zhang told Lin Feng that Lin Feng was in a trance again when the bell rang just now.

Lin Feng knew he was wrong, but he couldn't explain it to Jiang Zhang for a while, so he swallowed it silently.

It's obviously because of this broken book that time has stopped, okay?Lin Feng complained wildly in his heart.But he suddenly thought of something, and his heart sank.

If he remembered correctly, Jiang Zhang was obviously standing behind him earlier, but when he closed the book, Jiang Zhang had already walked to his side.

Jiang Zhang really didn't lie to him, he was indeed in a trance again.

It seemed that the sound of the bell was really affecting him.

The bell was still echoing in Baiyin Pagoda, and the sound that originally made Lin Feng feel so excited now gave him a headache.

Jiang Zhang was not affected by the bells, but instead he listened attentively to the bells.When the bell stopped again, Jiang Zhang already had an idea in his mind.

He is very confident, this time the speculation is most likely to be no problem.

Jiang Zhang looked up at the winding wooden ladder in the center of the tower. The wooden ladder went all the way up to the top of the tower.The shimmering light at the top is like an invisible bait, luring people under the tower to climb up.It's really hard to say no to, especially with the bells ringing.

But as long as you go up, everything will come to light.

He turned around, wanting to discuss with Lin Feng his guess about the object he was looking for in Baiyin Pagoda.But when Jiang Zhang saw Lin Feng's pale face, he swallowed all the speculation and plans just now into his throat.

Due to the nerve stimulation, Lin Feng frowned slightly, and his temples kept throbbing.Lin Feng rubbed his temples vigorously with his fingers, and only then did he feel some relief.He raised his head, and Jiang Zhang's face suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.Jiang Zhang stretched out his hand and covered his ears.

Lin Feng didn't expect Jiang Zhang's actions, and he froze in place.Probably because of the constant running, Jiangzhang's palms were not as cold as before, but instead carried a little body temperature that belonged to Jiangzhang.

Lin Feng felt a burst of warm air blowing past his ears, and the tips of his ears became hot.

"If you feel uncomfortable, leave it to me this time."

Jiang Zhang put his head close to Lin Feng's ear and said softly.
