Strange Tales: The Yin-Yang Celestial Master

The billowing magma rushed towards the face, accompanied by thick steam and a pungent smell that was so hot that it was difficult to breathe, as if in a sea of ​​flames, Qi Buyang curled up in Luo Lang's arms, and subconsciously closed his eyes.

After a while, he felt the heat gradually receding, and opened his eyes carefully, only to see the rushing water under his feet, surrounded by a layer of hazy water mist, and the circular barrier they were in was just like soap bubbles floating in mid-air.

Qi Buyang was relieved, and finally dared to poke his head out, looking around curiously, "Is this the bottom of the waterfall?" Those burning hot magma flowed down the current and fell into the deep pool below, and the hot molten flow was in contact with the water surface At that moment, intense water vapor was stimulated, and the water vapor permeated the middle and lower parts of the waterfall all year round, so nothing could be seen from above.

No one would have imagined that there is actually a valley hidden under the molten flow. It is warm and humid here, and it is not known to be much cooler than the top.The water in the deep pool was rushing, forming a river, but it was so foggy that it was hard to see where the river was going.

Luo Lang kept the soap bubbles away from the lava waterfall and came to the shore. The moment it landed, the barrier made a weak "poof" and then disappeared.When he stepped on the ground, there was a thin layer of weeds growing under his feet, and there was a soft rustling sound when he stepped on it. It was not much different from the outside world. Even the grass grew more vigorously and richly, and the color of the grass was deeper. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a drop.

Qi Buyang climbed onto Luo Lang's shoulder and looked at the waterfall in the mist, hoping to find those people from the self-help club. I don't know if they jumped off, and if they jumped off, did they survive.After a while, people climbed up from the water one after another. Although they were protected by Luo Lang's barrier, they couldn't manipulate the barrier to fly into the air, so they could only swim out by themselves. They were naked, with some burn marks. It looked like a mess.

But as long as it survives, it's something to be happy about.Those who climbed up counted each other's heads. There were five people when they jumped down, but now there are only four.

They waited on the shore for a long time, but the last person did not appear for a long time.For a while, everyone fell silent, knowing in their hearts that that person would probably never appear again.

"Let's go." Luo Lang was the first to break the silence, and walked straight along the river to the depths of the valley.The four looked at each other and followed silently.

The further they went, the originally turbulent water gradually calmed down and began to gurgle, and the mist became thinner and thinner. They were finally able to remove the veil and see the true appearance of the valley——

In addition to the grass under their feet, there are many other plants growing here—red or green, blue or purple, all kinds of colors, countless, but they don’t know them all, because there are no outsiders.These plants are sturdy, the shortest one is as tall as a person, the leaves are wide and thick, crowded together lushly, surrounded by gorgeous flowers on the top, those flowers are also amazingly large, the smallest is as big as a human head.They are in it, except for the plants around them, they can't see the road, nor can they see the end of the valley, as if they are standing in a huge garden, which is dazzling.

They gradually moved away from the waterfall, lost the lighting of the fire, and the surroundings became dark, but the river quietly lit up with light blue starlight, like flickering ice crystals or a drifting Milky Way, illuminating a path for them.And those plants have also changed - the veins on the leaves emit green fluorescence, and the flowers are like lit lanterns, lighting up colorful fluorescence. For a while, they are like lanterns in the Lantern Festival, surrounding them in colorful In the city of lights, it is like a dream, so beautiful that it is not real.

If there is a lava purgatory above the waterfall, this place is simply paradise.The gentle and quiet environment made people calm down involuntarily, and almost forgot everything they had just experienced.

"It's so beautiful..." Someone let out an exclamation, and couldn't help touching the beautiful lavender leaves around him. The next second, when he was still immersed in his dream and didn't realize it, the flower of that plant suddenly bowed down. Leaning down to face him, the petals tightened, and swallowed him in with a "gudong".

o(╯□╰)o

The others couldn't react for a while, they stared dumbfounded for a while, and then shouted in shock as if waking up from a dream: "What should I do?! He was eaten by that flower!" They hurriedly surrounded and attacked the plant. , Pulling the petals, pulling the petals, breaking the leaves, after tossing for a long time, the flower seemed to be annoyed, the bud made a vomiting sound, and spit out the person.

The man sat on the ground in shock, his whole body was covered with the digestive juice of the flower, and he gave off a bad smell. His companions took a step back in unison.

After being so frightened, they suddenly realized that no matter how dreamy this place is or whether they are in the abyss, as long as they are in the abyss, they cannot relax their vigilance for a moment. Thinking of the companion who disappeared in the waterfall, their hearts suddenly became heavy, and they never dared Messing, touching, and looking around, they all nervously united around Luo Lang, following him step by step.

Luo Lang ignored them, he just thought it was funny, these people have been in the abyss for so long, they are still so naive, but this is none of his business.Qi Buyang sat on his shoulder, kept turning his neck and looking around——

There are so many plants here, could the tree of life be among them?

But he was quickly disappointed.Although Qi Buyang has never seen a living tree of life, the one in the Demon Realm has already left a deep impression on him. It is so huge after death, let alone the prosperous period.Although these plants are tall, they are far less than the height of the Tree of Life. If the tree grows here, it must be visible at a glance.And now, as far as he could look, he couldn't see a single tree except lush broadleaf plants and dazzling flowers.

"The tree of life is not here." The little celestial master said to Luo Lang, "Which way shall we go next?" This garden is really astonishingly large, and the field of vision is not wide enough, so it is easy to get lost when walking in it.

Luo Lang motioned him to look at the gurgling river that shone brightly, "Follow it."

At this time, the person walking at the end let out a "huh" and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Qi Buyang turned around and asked him.

"Is there another person?" The man turned his head and looked around.

They counted again and found that there was really one missing person, the one who was swallowed by Hua just now.

"When did he disappear?"

"I don't know! He was half a step away from me, and he disappeared as he walked!" The man recalled anxiously: "Ever since he was spit out by the flower, he has been in a trance, and his spirit has not been very good. Well, I called him several times but there was no response."

It was so weird that a person disappeared so quietly, everyone felt a little chilled in their hearts, subconsciously moved closer, and didn't dare to separate to look for it, they all shouted the person's name on the spot, hoping to get a response .But when they shouted, the disappearing people did not respond, but the surrounding plants all moved—those buds seemed to be disturbed by the shouting, and turned their heads in unison, and the huge flowers stretched out like sheets of silent flowers. Open your mouth and look straight at them.

Thinking of their cannibalism just now, everyone shut their mouths immediately, gestured to each other with their eyes, and never dared to speak loudly again.

Fortunately, those flowers looked at them for a while, but they couldn't hear the sound. They seemed to have lost their target, and slowly turned their heads away again.

"What should I do?" Someone asked softly.

"It must have been eaten." Luo Lang casually stated the fact that they dared not speak out. Several people looked at each other, and they all saw fear in each other's eyes.

Luo Lang decided to stay away from this garden and walk close to the river bank. At least for now, there is no danger to the river.The others hurriedly followed, wishing to stay away from those man-eating plants.In less than half a day since jumping off the waterfall, two people were missing. This fact aggravated their sense of crisis. Fortunately, none of the three lost control or yelled. They just kept silent and kept vigilant. to move on.Those who can come to the abyss are not ordinary people without skills. They have seen some of the world. Although they are still shocked by the dangers of the abyss, they are also psychologically prepared enough not to panic.This made Luo Lang very satisfied. If they were noisy and disturbed his affairs, he didn't mind preempting them so that they could never talk again.

When walking forward, everyone became very cautious, stopping from time to time to count the number of people, but passed through the garden safely.

Seeing the tall plants gradually thinning out, the space suddenly opened up, and the ceiling of the cave became very high, with dots of light shining on it, like a vast starry sky, illuminating the entire underground world.They came to a flat prairie. It may not be appropriate to say it is a prairie, because their feet are soft like cotton candy, and they will sink into them if they are not careful.Moreover, this grassland is not green, but colorful, one piece is red and one piece is yellow, and there are also snow white and azure blue. The colorful grassland is full of delicate flowers. Those flowers are different from those in the giant garden just now. The biggest one is only as big as the palm of your hand. , all kinds of colors, each flower has an exquisite light shining in the heart, as if hiding a beautiful gem, reflecting each other with the starry sky at the top.

The wind blowing from nowhere blows across the grassland, setting off a wave of color, and the little flowers swaying gently in the wind are extremely cute.But with the lessons of the giant garden, no one dares to touch those seemingly harmless flowers, for fear that they will open their mouths and bite off their hands.

"Mr. Luo! Look!" Little Celestial Master stretched out his short hand and pointed to the starry sky above his head, "Those stars are moving!"

Luo Lang took a look, "Those are not stars." At the same time, he supported its back to prevent it from falling.

"what is that?"

Luo Lang took out a luminous pearl from the Qiankun bag, and threw it up without any distress. The pearl seemed to be supported by an invisible hand and slowly floated upwards. When it approached the top of the cave, it emitted a The light illuminated a space several square meters in size, and Qi Buyang could see clearly that there were many huge insects parked on the stone wall at the top of the cave, and those twinkling stars were the fluorescence emitted from the wings or tails of these insects.

Sure enough, nothing good happened.Thinking of the giant bugs crawling on top of their heads, everyone's scalps went numb, and they just wanted to get out of here quickly.

"Mr. Luo! Look!"

A clear and crisp shout suddenly sounded not far away, which sounded exactly like the voice of the little celestial master.

But Qi Buyang sat on Luo Lang's shoulder and didn't go anywhere.Luo Lang turned his face and asked, "Did you let that sheep out?"

Qi Buyang was also surprised, and buried his head in the Qiankun bag, "No, baaaaa is still in it."

Luo Lang raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes to look at the place where the sound came from.

At this moment, someone shouted again: "Mr. Luo! I'm here, come quickly!"

This time, it came from another direction.

Immediately afterwards, the sound became more and more loud, and it sounded from all directions——

"Mr. Luo!", "Mr. Luo!", "Mr. Luo..."

For a moment, the voice of the little celestial master calling Luo Lang was everywhere.
