Chapter 200 Approaching the Gods (Twenty-Two)
Ten days have passed before I knew it.
At the top of Xuanshan Mountain, a small pink and white flower bloomed alone on the edge of the cliff.
A pure and slender hand stretched out towards the little flower, as if wanting to pick it off.
However, just when the fingertips were about to touch the petals shaking in the wind, an invisible barrier blocked the way.
Retracting his fingertips, Liu Sheng sighed: "This air wall is really everywhere."
"Yes, sir, Xuanshan is already at the edge of the map. If you don't pay attention, you will hit it." The wall of air you are talking about. "
At this time, Song Yanran, who had been renamed Priest Yanran, followed Liu Sheng with a respectful look on her face. She was wearing the same gray cloth robe as Liu Sheng and holding a hand. A round object wrapped in cloth.
"What a pity." Liu Sheng looked at the little flower that was out of reach and said with regret.
“What magical function does this flower have?” Priest Yanran was puzzled.
"It's not because this flower is a pity, but it's a pity that we have walked to the edge of the map and confirmed that there is no door or passage. Everything is perfect." Liu Sheng shook his head and looked out along the small white flowers.
As far as the eye can see, there is a deep valley shrouded in clouds and mist, with the faint sound of gurgling water below. A little further away, there are endless layers of green mountains and no human habitation.
Priest Yanran's eyes widened in surprise and asked, "But Priest Shikang has also completed the exploration?"
Liu Sheng nodded, sensing that his path was far away on the map. The consciousness of Ginkgo Village in the north is falling next to the air wall.
……
That consciousness is now stored in the strange thing in Tian Shikang's hand [Silk Charm], looking at the outside world through the eyes of the small tentacles.
Although Tian Shikang has traveled all over Xuansanjiu City with his little tentacles, he looked at the wriggling black tentacles that came out of the book, with round eyes, and he was filled with excitement. Wandering around curiously, it's still a bit unaccustomed.
But I was holding a book with a corpse dragged behind it, and it seemed like there was nothing to get used to with such a tentacle.
And this tentacle comes from the power of Lord Earth Mother! If it weren't for his presence, which could inspire the power of the strange corpse dragged on the ground, he would have died countless times.
However, if he hadn't met the Earth Mother Priest, he would have been as cold as the corpse dragged behind him.
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel ashamed of the fear I showed when I first met the Earth Mother Priest.
This Tian Shikang is naturally the scholar Liu Sheng met on the first day.
At that time, he ran away because he was afraid of the little tentacles.
As soon as I returned home, I had to face my childhood friend and classmate who became increasingly strange.
"Shikang, can you let me go? I feel much better." In the dark corner of the hall, a small voice sounded, and it sounded very weak.
When Tian Shikang heard this, his speech was quite clear and his thinking was smooth. He knew that he had indeed recovered.
So, he sighed softly and walked towards Faxiao who was tied to the beam.
I saw Fa Xiao looking up at him, showing a pale smile pretending to be relaxed, but the sweat on his face, and a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, and the clothes on his body were soaked with sweat, which showed that it was not Really easy.
"Your hysteria attack is so terrible that you don't even let yourself go. Open your mouth and see?"
Tian Shikang said to Fa Xiao as he loosened the rope. Look inside the small open mouth.
The tongue inside was a bit bloody, obviously bitten during hysteria. Fortunately, he could still open his mouth to speak. "It seems that I have to seal your mouth next time. I think people in the village who have epilepsy will stuff cloth balls into their mouths."
"Well, That's fine..." Fa Xiao shook his stiff wrist and nodded.
"Is your hysteria getting worse?" Tian Shikang frowned and worried, "At first it seemed like you were talking nonsense all night, then you started talking and walking around randomly, and then it started Breaking things... Now, hurting others and yourself..."
"Shikang, you are right, you should leave..." Fa Xiao smiled miserably, "The further away from me, the better, I Scared.”
In order to take care of himself, Tian Shikang had not slept for several nights, and he ran around every day to find any treatment for himself.
He looked at Tian Shikang's increasingly haggard face and couldn't bear it.
Moreover, he can feel that the bloodthirsty and cruel part of himself has gradually gained the upper hand, and the time he can stay awake is getting shorter and shorter...
He is afraid of losing himself completely one day, Even hurt Tian Shikang...
“That’s not okay We grew up together and trekked from the other side of the mountain together just to study here. Although the academy is now closed...but it doesn't matter. In short, we need to take care of each other when we are away from home. Your parents’ instructions to us before they left.”
Tian Shikang glanced at him and said sadly: "You should take good care of yourself and don't think too much."
"Just insist on taking the medicines prescribed by the old doctor of Zhongyuantang. I Now let’s boil the medicine.”
“Shikang, to be honest, I think those medicines are useless…” Fa Xiao grabbed Tian Shikang’s sleeve and said.
He has begun to vaguely suspect that he may not be hysterical, but infected with the most terrifying "weirdness" nowadays.
If it is really as "weird" as the legend says, then there is no cure for it.
"You've only taken it for two days, maybe it hasn't taken effect yet." Tian Shikang stopped him from continuing.
"It's so strange that the strange woman I met today made me feel so uneasy that I even forgot to go to the east of the city to find Fuxian Hall to see if it was open..." He muttered, "I heard The doctors at Fu Xiantang have better methods of treating hysteria.”
“Weird woman?” Fa Xiao asked in confusion.
"Yes, I met a scary strange woman today." Tian Shikang didn't want to mention it anymore, and instead said, "It's not important anymore. I'll cook the medicine first."
At that time Tian Shikang never expected that just one day later, he would brave the rainy night and knock on the door, just to ask to see that scary strange woman.
"You came here so late, what do you want?" A middle-aged woman wearing the same gray clothes as the strange woman yawned and pushed open the door a crack, looking at the young man outside the door who was soaked by the rain. , asked strangely.
"I...I'm here to find Mother Earth, right? Is there such a woman?"
Tian Shikang is not sure whether the name "Mother of Earth" is right. , it really sounded a bit strange, and he even doubted whether the woman was talking nonsense.
"Mother of the Earth?" The middle-aged woman frowned even more tightly, making Tian Shikang's heart high.
“What on earth do you have to talk to Priest Earth Mother about?”
Fortunately, what the middle-aged woman said confirmed that she was indeed a person, and she was a "priest", but she didn't know what god she was worshiping.
Tian Shikang's heart fell heavily back into his chest, and then he knelt down anxiously and said, "Please Earth Mother, save my friend!"
Only then did the middle-aged woman pay attention. When he arrived, the water under the young man was full of traces of blood.
