How to Raid the Flower of Low Ridge

It was already evening when Si Junqi and Shen Dancheng arrived, and the entire forest at the foot of Yuncong Mountain was covered by black mist. A strong smell of blood and death rushed towards us, and roars and screams came from time to time in the twilight forest, making people People are timid.

In the past nine months, the two have seen such a scene countless times, and too many deaths have flowed before their eyes, and they have even gotten used to it by now.

"Looking at the situation, it will be very difficult to clean up. I'm afraid they will have to be suppressed and killed." Si Junqi said.

Shen Dancheng frowned, concentrated for a moment and said: "There are still people inside, so we can't kill them."

He put away his umbrella and walked straight into the black mist, with Si Junqi closely following him.It was not far to be seen in the black mist. The two walked extremely carefully, always vigilant about changes in the surroundings. Si Junqi raised his head and looked around, just in time to notice that some tree trunks had a talisman of observation and service - this talisman and the owl eye talisman were both heavenly sages. The talismans that the court students always keep when they go out of the mountain, the former is generally used for instant warning and monitoring of changes in the outer circle, and the latter is used to record images.

"It seems that they did come in." Si Junqi looked at the dim light flickering on the talisman.

"Is there any way to find them?"

Si Junqi flew up, took off the talisman, and handed it to Shen Dancheng.Shen Dancheng nodded after groping for a while: "There is residual spiritual energy, I will try to index."

After he pressed the talisman, there was a faint white breath rising from the paper, which submerged into the mist like a thin line. The two followed the spiritual breath and moved forward slowly. After an hour, they finally saw the first living person, Zhu Tao .

"... She hid in the bushes and didn't dare to move. Dancheng and I called her several times before she responded. She looked at us and suddenly burst into tears." Si Junqi said.

The girl lowered her head, crying heartbreakingly as if she wanted to vent all her emotions, making people wonder how to comfort her.It was Shen Dancheng who squatted down and supported her shoulders, and lowered his voice to comfort her.After a long time, Zhu Tao finally stopped sobbing, and slowly told the story:

"We...we found the ghost after we got here, and the exorcism went smoothly at first, but for some reason, the longer we stayed inside, the more confused we became...In a daze, we separated from Senior Sister Gu and the others .”

When Zhu Tao said this, she unconsciously clenched Shen Dancheng's arm with her fingers, as if if she didn't do this, she would not be able to support herself to finish the next sentence, "Sister Xiuhui and the others were very scared, so they said that they should retreat first. But we couldn't find the way we came here, and we became more and more confused...then they started arguing, and everyone was as fierce as a ghost..."

"No." Si Junqi frowned, "Since you don't know where you are, why don't you burn the smoke to send a message? Besides, the forest is open and there is no barrier, as long as Yukong can escape..."

"—Because we are all dreaming! Dreaming!!!" Zhu Tao screamed, "I persuaded them to do the same, but Xiuhui rushed over like crazy to strangle me, I couldn't break free, thinking I was going to die, but When I opened my eyes again, I saw us all lying on the ground, surrounded by ghosts, they had already eaten Xiuhui's arm!"

When she said this, she retched as if she couldn't bear it anymore.

Shen Dancheng also took a deep breath: "Then why do you..."

"I escaped." Zhu Tao wiped the corners of her mouth and the tears on her face, "I know I should wake them up, I should save them...but I...but I..."

"Hate them." She choked out these three words from the depths of her throat.

In the most life-and-death situation, she did the most instinctive move.

"..."

The two of Shen Yun were a little silent when they heard this, not knowing how to evaluate Zhu Tao's behavior.The cowardly and resentful girl in Si Junqi's mouth, it is difficult for him to connect with the kind and gentle teacher more than 20 years later.Shen Yun was silent for a moment, and said softly: "I remember Mr. Zhu Tao once mentioned this to me, she said that her senior sisters saved her, so she survived... Is this actually a lie she told? .”

"I'm afraid she doesn't think it's a lie anymore." Lu Miyuan said softly.

"What do you mean?" Shen Yun looked at him puzzled.The other party didn't notice his gaze, but just stared at his hand.

"If she didn't hint to herself like this, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to live until now." Lu Miyuan said, "After a lie is repeated too many times, even the liar himself will believe it to be true."

Does it blur lines and tamper with memories after saying it too many times?

Shen Yun thought of the scene recorded by the owl's eye talisman before the clouds and ghost gaps collapsed.That's why Mr. Zhu Tao reacted so violently when he suddenly saw the bodies of Qi Fang and Xiu Hui after so many years... That kind of shock is indeed enough to make people completely collapse.

"What happened later?" Lu Miyuan asked.

"Later she regretted it." Si Junqi said.

Zhu Tao regretted not long after she escaped.Because if her master Mrs. Zhimeng knew that she, a waste, dared to refuse to save her and killed her favorite disciple, she would definitely die.But letting her turn back now is undoubtedly another extra meal for the ghost, which is meaningless.

"...I really don't know what to do, so I can only hide here." Zhu Tao muttered, lowering her shoulders, "Dan Cheng, I really don't know what to do..."

Shen Dancheng pursed his lips before he was about to speak. Suddenly, a shrill scream came from the depths of the woods!

With the scream, Shen Dancheng and Si Junqi looked at each other, and Si Junqi immediately understood and rushed towards the source of the scream.Zhu Tao widened her eyes and tried to stop him: "Don't go, it's dangerous there...!"

"It's okay, Jun Qi can take care of it." Shen Dancheng comforted her while helping her up, "Just in time, I have something to ask you..."

Si Junqi didn't hear the conversation between Shen Dancheng and Zhu Tao behind him, he had already flew forward in an instant, but he arrived at the place in a few breaths, and the scene in front of him after pulling away the weeping branches made his hair stand on end.

——The students of Tianxian Court who were lying on the ground were all dead, and Xiuhui and Qifang were among them.These corpses were either disemboweled or missing arms and legs. Their faces were purple, and their faces showed a painful expression immersed in a nightmare.Zhu Tao didn't lie to them.

Around the lying corpses, several twisted ghosts gathered, with fresh flesh and blood remaining at the corners of their mouths. They had obviously had a full meal just now, but they still seemed dissatisfied, and all of them turned their attention greedily to the sharp sound. source of the call.

Gu Yinlian curled up in a corner, holding a person in her arms. The dripping blood on that person's body dyed the original bright red Yingyuan uniform into a rust-black color, and it seemed to be Zheng Guiyi from the figure.

The reason why the ghosts can't get close to the two of them for the time being is because Gu Yinlian holds a sword in her hand, which is her last protection. Once the sword is broken and her spiritual power is exhausted, she will be torn to pieces by these ghosts who are staring at her like a tiger.

Gu Yinlian's hairpins were scattered, her hair was disheveled, and she didn't have the usual noble and awe-inspiring image. She didn't notice Si Junqi's arrival at all, but sternly shouted: "Get out of here! Get out of here!!" She waved wildly holding a long sword, but her random moves exposed the fear in her heart, and fear is one of the favorite emotions of ghosts. A giant beast rushed towards Gu Yinlian. The girl screamed, closed her eyes and turned the sword straight Stab out!

However, the blade pierced through the air.Gu Yinlian opened her eyes in panic, and found that the ghost stopped a few steps away from her, and at some point on the shoulder of the ghost, a young man in black clothes was perched, like a night crow descending from the sky under the new moon.A cold light flew past like wings, and in the blink of an eye, the ghost's head was cut off neatly by the dagger in the boy's hand!

The black mist was like fresh blood, gushing and splashing from the severed neck of the ghost.

"Si Junqi..." Gu Yinlian turned pale.
