Chapter 495 Desperate situation, temptation!
No one left
No one spoke, everyone was waiting silently.
There was no need to say anything else, everyone knew what they were waiting for.
Everyone is waiting for a result that will affect their stay, so no one will choose to leave at this time.
The atmosphere at the scene also became silent. While everyone was waiting, their eyes were flashing with various lights. It was obvious that they all had their own Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts!
Wei Hong took this opportunity to observe the people around him, taking in the expressions and reactions of many people.
In this way, everyone waited longer and longer in this silent atmosphere.
Gradually, many people couldn't help but began to whisper, their expressions full of anxiety, and the disappointment on their faces became more and more obvious.
After waiting for two hours, there was still no news or news coming back. Those who left Fangshi seemed to be like mud cows drowning in the sea, and there was no news after leaving.
At this time, a stall owner who was familiar to Wei Hong couldn't help but stand up and said: "We have been waiting for so long and there is no news. Can we just keep waiting like this?"
"They didn't just leave after breaking out of the mist, right? Maybe they didn't even think of us?" Another person couldn't help but speculate maliciously.
"Since you can't trust others, why don't you go out and try it yourself?"
A young monk couldn't stand it and immediately opened his mouth to retort.
This remark did not receive a response from anyone, because these people knew very well that there was still no news from those who left Fangshi before. It was definitely not because they had broken out of the mist, but more likely because they had encountered trouble. So no news came back.
Under such circumstances, who would dare to continue to break into the mist?
For a time, a feeling of panic and uneasiness began to spread in the city.
Facing the mysterious, unknown and dangerous fog, no one dares to act rashly.
After all, you can at least survive if you stay in the city, but it is not certain if you break into the strange fog. Maybe you can really break out, or maybe you will be swallowed up by the strange fog the next moment.
However, just when everyone was panicking, a yellow streamer appeared above Fangshi with a whooshing sound.
Such a conspicuous move immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Wei Hong also looked up and saw a young man wearing the Qingyun Sect's standard inner sect robe. This man stood on a yellow flying sword and was looking down at the people below.
"Everyone, I am Fang Heng, an inner disciple of Qingyun Sect!"
The young foundation-building monk named Fang Heng paused for a moment, and then continued to shout: "Now let me break through this strange fog, just as I am exploring the way for you. If I can break out of the strange fog safely, A warning signal will be sent out to inform you.”
"I have left behind a soul lamp. If something unexpected happens to me in the mist, the soul lamp will go out on its own. I hope you will take care of yourself then!"
After saying that, Fang Heng flew out of Fang City with his sword, turned into a yellow stream of light and sped away, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.
It was only then that the monks in the city were in an uproar.
"What? Senior Fang is actually willing to explore the path for us? Senior Fang is so righteous!"
"Haha, thank you Senior Fang. With Senior Fang's cultivation, it shouldn't be difficult to break out of the mist!"
"Senior Fang Hengfang in the foundation-building stage? Haha, it seems we can be saved, we can be saved!"
"I didn't expect that Senior Fang would be so righteous. We are really grateful!" Looking at Fang Heng's retreating figure, countless monks suddenly started talking with great gratitude.
At the same time, a glimmer of hope rose again in the hearts of these people.
After all, Fang Heng is a monk in the foundation-building stage, and his strength is much stronger than those before. Since he is willing to break into the mist to explore the way, his hope is naturally much greater.
For a time, the monks who were originally panicked and a little uneasy became energetic, their faces reappeared with joy, and their eyes were full of expectation.
It can be said that Fang Heng has become their last hope now.
As for why Fang Heng, a foundation-building monk, chose to break into the mist at this time, the reason was actually very simple.
First, as a foundation-building monk who sits in Qingyun Mountain City, he has the responsibility to protect the city. Now that the city is trapped and tens of thousands of monks are in crisis, he, as the person with the highest cultivation level here, People naturally have to be brave enough to take on the responsibility of exploring the path.
Secondly, Fang Heng has a good self-cultivation and feels that even if he fails to break out of the mist, he should be able to retreat safely, so he wants to try to break through, and return if nothing can be done.
Leaving behind a soul lamp was actually to calm everyone's hearts, but he didn't think he would really die.
Just as everyone was talking hopefully, an outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect appeared among the crowd holding something in his hand.
After everyone saw it, they immediately dispersed in a sensible manner, leaving a ten-foot radius in the center for the outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect.
Just because what the man was holding was a jade plate, and in the middle of the jade plate was a very ordinary-looking bronze lamp. At this time, the wick of the lamp was burning silently, allowing everyone to see it at a glance. An orange flame was as thick as a thumb and rose three inches high.
Moreover, there is a transparent lampshade on the outside of this jade plate, which is obviously used to prevent wind, so as to prevent the strong wind from blowing out the lamp.
Obviously, this light should be the soul lamp mentioned by Fang Heng.
"Is this Senior Fang's soul lamp?" someone asked cautiously.
"good!"
The outer disciple of Qingyun Sect also carefully placed the jade plate on a specially brought wooden table, and then guarded it without moving.
After getting the affirmative answer, everyone looked at the soul lamp with different eyes.
Wei Hong frowned slightly, and sure enough he sensed a hint of divine soul aura from the soul lamp.
"Leaving soul lanterns should be a habit shared by all major sects, right?" Wei Hong thought secretly in his heart.
From whether the soul lamp is burning or extinguished, you can know the life and death of the person. Therefore, sects usually ask monks above the foundation building stage to leave a soul lamp to judge the life and death of the monks in the sect.
For senior Fang Heng, Wei Hong secretly admired him for actually daring to break into the mist at this time. No matter what his intentions were, at least his starting point was good.
But at the same time, he was not optimistic about Fang Heng's results. If Wei Wu was so easy to break into, why would countless monks talk about Wu Wu's expressions changing, and how could even the Jin Dan Patriarch of Qing Yun Sect return to the sect?
To be honest, Wei Hong even had a premonition that the soul lamp might be extinguished soon.
"Hopefully it won't be what I expected!"
Wei Hong sighed secretly in his heart!
