Chapter 37 Illusion
More than an hour later, we finally arrived at the place where the fireworks were launched. It had been more than ten hours since we saw the fireworks. I wonder how Lu Xiaofeng is doing now.
"Dude, there seems to be nothing here. Did we go to the wrong place?"
Zhao Hai carried Yang Ling on his back and asked. In front of us was a depression, not really a valley, very small, and not very deep, but the trees below were very sparse, and not as tall and strong as the trees outside, and many of the tree branches and leaves had already withered and yellowed, and there were many dead plants on the ground. The whole depression was dead and gloomy, and it felt like walking into a cemetery .
"But this place seems a little weird. It feels quite eerie."
Zhao Hai said again. I glanced at him. This guy is very sensitive and can sense the abnormality here. And the tingling sensation on the moon wheel on my right hand is very strong. It would be abnormal if there is no problem here.
"You wait up there, I'll go down and take a look."
Although I can see and feel something is wrong here, I can't see anything else except the problem with the trees. I have to go down and take a look myself.
"Be careful buddy."
Zhao Hai called out from behind. I waved my hand back, then found a place close to the bottom of the valley, and then climbed down along the branches and grass on the mountain wall. Fortunately, the valley was not too deep, and my hands and feet were relatively nimble, so I got down to the bottom of the valley safely.
After reaching the bottom of the valley, the numbness and itchiness of the moon in my palm became stronger, just like being bitten by ants and mosquitoes, which was very uncomfortable. I turned over my palm and scratched it with my left hand, but no matter how hard I scratched, the numbness and itchiness could not be relieved. I clenched my right hand, endured the numbness and itchiness, and began to carefully examine the valley.
I walked back and forth several times, but apart from feeling tingling in my palms and the dead silence in the valley, I didn't notice anything unusual.
"Hey, man, what's going on?"
Zhao Hai shouted from above. I was already irritated, and hearing him shout like that, I became even more annoyed. I turned around and glared at him, shouting, "What are you shouting for? Can't you see I'm looking for you?"
I shouted and slapped a nearby tree with my right hand. The tree shattered to the ground, its branches broke, its leaves scattered, and then it shattered into powder. A gust of wind blew from somewhere, picked up the powder, and rushed towards me. I quickly stepped back. The wind with the powder rushed in front of me, wrapped around my right hand, swirled quickly, and poured into my palm. To be more precise, it was absorbed by the moon wheel.
"Dude, are you okay?"
Zhao Hai called out again, seeming a little worried. I calmed down, and the irritation also subsided. I turned around and responded, "I'm fine."
After the Moon Wheel absorbed the gust of wind, I calmed down, and the numbness and itchiness in the Moon Wheel also eased a lot. I guess: my body's yin and yang are out of balance, and more yang than yin may cause abnormal reactions such as irritability and irritability. The Moon Wheel can devour and absorb ghosts, dead air, yin energy , ghost energy and other yin objects. This valley is dead and gloomy, and what the Moon Wheel just absorbed must be yin, so I can calm down.
Since the signal flares and fireworks were sent from here, it means that Lu Xiaofeng was in danger here. Then this place may be the location of the cemetery that Yang Ling's father brought people to dig. However, there are no signs of excavation in this valley, and there are no signs of human beings. It looks like no human or other creatures have set foot here for many years.
I turned around twice more, but still found nothing. Was it an illusion? Or was there some formation that sealed the original appearance of the valley? It seemed that I could only cram again. I took out the book that Lu Xiaofeng gave me and quickly searched through it.
"No way, big brother, are you cramming again?"
Zhao Hai, that kid, shouted from above. I was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued to look through the book. Finally, I found a spell to break the illusion. I wrote down the spell and the seal, then put the book away, glanced at the entire valley, then pinched the seal with both hands and shouted softly: "Exhaust the numbers and achieve change, change with the shape. The mysterious sect of heaven and earth, the root of all qi. It cannot be seen, and it cannot be heard. Command!"
After the spell was finished, I separated my hands, pinched my right palm with my left hand, put my right index and middle fingers together and raised them up, and an invisible energy spread out from my fingers to the surroundings.
"Pop! Pop!"
Suddenly, there were several tremors in the valley. There was energy fluctuating. It looked like there was hope. I was just feeling happy my hands, which were holding the seal, suddenly shook. Then I felt a sharp pain. An invisible but powerful shock wave swept over. It was so fast that I was caught off guard. Before I could even react, the shock wave had already hit my body. I was lifted off the ground, flipped over several times, and fell hard to the ground. My butt hit the stone, and I cried out in pain with my teeth bared.
"Dude, what's wrong?"
Zhao Hai shouted from above, his voice was somewhat anxious and worried. But I was in no mood, nor did I have time to pay attention to him. Because I could feel the invisible impact force chasing after me, a sense of oppression came over me, and I felt that my breathing became a little difficult.
I knew that there would be difficulties and dangers on this journey, and I always reminded myself to be careful and to respond carefully, but when the moment came, I still felt a little confused. Just when I was at a loss, the moon in the palm of my right hand suddenly felt numb and itchy, as if it was bitten by an insect or ant. Without thinking too much, I raised my right hand and opened my palm to face forward.
“Hoooooooo!”
The shock wave rolled up, and the cold wind roared, making a whirring sound. The cold wind rolled the shock wave and rushed over, pouring into the moon. When the oppressive feeling dissipated and the roar of the cold wind stopped, my right hand and my entire right arm were trembling, and it was as cold as if it was soaked in cold water.
"Brother, brother! Ye Yun!"
Zhao Hai started shouting again. I came to my senses and quickly glanced around. The valley had calmed down. I climbed up and turned back to shout, "What are you shouting for? Are you calling for the soul?"
"Fuck, I thought you were dead."
"Shut the fuck up, stay still, and don't bother me!"
I turned back to the place where I had cast the spell to break the illusion. The ground was obviously sunken, but there was no change in the entire valley. If it was an illusion, it must not be a simple illusion. Not only did my spell fail to break it, but it also attacked me in return. If it weren't for the Moon Wheel, I would have really died.
I thought about the scene just now with lingering fear, and then I couldn't help but look at my right arm. It was no longer trembling, and the cold feeling was gone. I felt nothing unusual.
