The devil is me

After walking for another half a day, the weather was cold enough to bear, and what was even more terrible was that the weather became more and more gloomy, the sun was no longer enough, and no matter how far the distance was, it became blurred and difficult to distinguish. Slow down.This shows that it is getting closer and closer to the ancient altar.

Shen Po really couldn't move, so Lingyaosi knelt down to carry him on his back. The child was twitchy at first, but then let go, threw himself on Lingyaosi's back, and hugged the boy's slender neck tightly.In fact, this boy himself is only 14 years old, and his body bones have not yet fully grown, but somehow he makes Shen Po feel at ease.

The two of them walked for a long time, when suddenly a bolt of lightning struck, igniting the grass under the tree, and it was burnt to ashes in a short while, followed by a thunderstorm, like ten thousand horses galloping across the sky, which lasted for a long time.With this sudden flash of light, the two were able to see clearly a huge stone formation stretching as far as the eye can see.

Shen Po tightened his arms around Lingyaosi's neck, showing a trace of uneasiness.

Ling Yaosi patted his head and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, it's probably going to rain."

The two walked towards the stone formation, which runs north-south, all the stones are square, without exception, engraved with some kind of pattern that Shen Po has never seen before, maybe it is a relic from the ancient times.

The unevenness of this pattern is stained with a strange light red color, extending along the cracks of the stone to the deepest part, as if it has been repeatedly formed over the years, and it is completely dyed.Ling Yaosi put Shen Po down, knelt down and wiped it with the tips of his fingers, and examined it carefully.

"It's old blood." He turned his head and said to Shen Po.

But when he turned around, he was so shocked that he lost his three souls and seven souls.

Shen Po is gone!

Obviously just behind him.The aftermath of being dragged by Shen Po on the corner of the clothes is still there, but Shen Po is gone!

Ling Yaosi hurriedly got up, looked around, and called Shen Po's name.Only the sound of the silent wilderness remains, nothing else.

Just when he was at his wit's end, another bolt of lightning struck the boulder right in front of Ling Yaosi.

His vision blurred, and when his eyesight gradually recovered, he suddenly saw Shen Mo appearing out of nowhere. His thin body was dressed in white clothes and knelt in the center of the stone formation in the distance. Rope tied behind the back.Standing beside him was a tall and strong man with broad shoulders and a thick back, with a black mask on his head and a huge mottled ax in his hand.Behind him are countless spectators who cannot see their faces clearly, and they all seem to be silently waiting for a certain moment to come.

It began to rain heavily in the dark wilderness, and he shouted Shen Po's name and ran towards him in the gust of wind, but Shen Po seemed to be completely deaf, and just knelt there motionless.Until the strong man swung his huge ax high and slashed at Shen Po's neck!

Lingyaosi burned with all five internal organs, shouted "No", blood rose up in an instant, and splashed on the stone, all the lines were soaked in blood, glowing dark red, forming a huge rune shape.Shen Po's body fell down at the sound, and a round human head rolled towards Lingyaosi.

Lingyaosi seemed to be out of breath, and was dumbfounded for three moments, then fell to her knees with a plop, holding up the head tremblingly with blood in her hands.

The brows and eyes of the human head were covered by loose black hair, he hesitantly stroked them away with his hands, his sticky hands seemed to push away heavy water plants.I saw that the eyes were closed tightly on the head, and the lips were pale.Ling Yaosi's hands began to tremble uncontrollably, at this moment, Shen Po's eyes suddenly widened, leaving only a pair of whites, and the head suddenly curled up the corners of his lips and let out a "giggle" smile Voice.

Ling Yaosi was so frightened that he threw his head away, but the head had grown legs, and it rolled back towards him, screaming loudly as it rolled: "Brother! Brother!"

Ling Yaosi took a step back, but was tripped by the pit and fell to the ground with his buttocks. The pale head jumped at his face when it got the chance!

At this critical moment, a ray of light cut through the darkness, and the peach bone fan suddenly shone with dazzling brilliance.

Lingyaosi's eyes were stabbed with pain, and his consciousness suddenly became clear, and he quickly pinched his fingers and recited a formula for clearing the heart: "If the heart is as clear as ice, the sky will not be shocked, everything will change, and the spirit will be calm!"

Suddenly the head disappeared, the audience disappeared, and the executioner carrying the giant ax disappeared, leaving only the silent stone formation, not even a drop of rain fell, and the clothes were dry, as if what I saw just now was a dream.

Ling Yaosi was dripping with cold sweat, as if he had just woken up from a big dream, and his mind was in a trance. It took a long time for his eyes to focus on Shen Po's anxious face and the abyss at his feet.

He couldn't help taking a step back, keeping himself farther away from the deadly cliff, and then he raised his hand to hold Shen Po's face, his voice trembling: "Are you okay? That's great!"

Shen Po's facial features were squeezed together because of Lingyaosi's too much effort, and his eyes looked bigger and more innocent. A small mouth was pouted between Dudu's cheeks, and he said with difficulty: "I'm fine, but you kept yelling towards me. Walking on the edge of the cliff, I can't even pull it." He spread out his two red palms from excessive force, "It's okay, it's okay, thanks to your magic weapon!"

"I should have thought of it earlier." Ling Yaosi scratched her head in embarrassment, "Like this kind of empty place, coupled with lightning and thunder, there are many illusions, I should be prepared in advance."

"What did you see?"

"I'm afraid what I saw was the ceremony of sacrifice to living people in ancient times." Ling Yaosi replied, "The patterns on these stone formations seem to be a spell."

Shen Po felt strange: "Since it's a spell, what is it holding here?"

Ling Yaosi's spine felt chilly, and she was a little scared: "We'd better leave quickly."

The two hurriedly walked out of the stone formation, but they walked for a full two hours, and they still haven't reached the edge of the stone formation.Ling Yaosi felt bad: "There is a maze here."

"Yu Jian went up to take a look?" Shen Po said.

Naturally, Shen Po didn't have a sword, and he looked at Ling Yaosi eagerly.

It seemed like a good idea, Ling Yaosi threw his sword up, and then pulled Shen Po up.

"Hold tight!" Lingyaosi felt her waist tighten, summoned her spiritual power, and went straight up with Yujian.Seeing that it was getting farther and farther away from the ground, Shen Po let out a "wow" excitedly.

Before waiting for him enough, there was a bang, and Ling Yaosi covered her head and screamed: "It's terrible, there is still a barrier!"

For the first time, Shen Po felt that being short was a blessing, but regretted that he couldn't fly higher, so he followed Ling Yaosi to the ground with his mouth flattened.

Now I can't walk out, and I can't fly.Lingyaosi had no choice but to sit on the spot. Exhausted, he took out a chicken leg from his Qiankun sleeve and ate it.

Shen Po didn't have his own cosmic sleeve at this time, seeing him put the chicken leg and the horn of the stinky cunning beast together, it was hard to hide his disgust.

Ling Yaosi handed over the chicken leg, and he leaned over to smell it. It seemed that there was no peculiar smell, so he took a bite carefully.

Lingyaosi guessed his thoughts and was overjoyed: "Everything in the Qiankun sleeve is an independent space, and it can't smell. According to your thinking, if Danxiu puts a few more poisons in the Qiankun sleeve, he will take one later. Food can poison yourself to death?"

Shen Po was amused by him, burst out laughing, and took another decisive bite.Just like this, the two of them took one bite, and when their mouths were full of greasy food, it was already dark.

The Great Barren Mountain is getting colder at night, there are occasional whimpering and roaring sounds of wild animals, there is no moonlight or starlight, and looking up from the stone formations is the black sky, which is too sticky to dissolve.Wrapped in a large cloak, the two slept hand to foot for a while, head to head.

Ling Yaosi suddenly asked: "Do you feel a little hot?"

Shen Po rubbed his sleepy eyes and pulled the cloak aside, exposing his two arms to dry: "Well, and... it seems to be getting hotter and hotter."

Before the words were finished, the peach bone fan suddenly shone brightly, and with this light, the surrounding temperature rose higher and higher, making people feel like they were in a charcoal fire.Ling Yaosi was sweating profusely and took off only his single clothes, Shen Po simply took off his shirt and felt that it was not enough, he just kept shouting for heat, and fell to the ground before taking three steps, confused and unable to stand up again.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Lingyao's mind, and he thought something was wrong: "It turns out that Yuanling is the town here!"
