Myriad Paths

Chapter 47 In the Dark

Shen Shuibi is like an isolated island, out of tune with this world.

She isolates the cold and heat, and even all the air that Li Qi can see has nothing to do with her.

Maybe there are other air that can be seen, but that is beyond his observation range.

Just like he can't see the progress bar on Mr. Zhu.

Maybe it is beyond his ability.

The power of the outsiders is not omnipotent.

Li Qi tried to use his knowledge to apply the things in the book "Zhu" to reality.

He used this perspective and widened his eyes to see far away.

Then, he suddenly saw the setting sun in the sky, shining over.

And some clouds above his head.

The sunset twilight dyed the clouds above Li Qi's head blood red!

Moreover, it seemed to be breathing, opening and closing, and still squirming.

"Green is insects, white is mourning, red is war, black is water, yellow is abundance..." Li Qi muttered to himself, widened his eyes, and repeated those words.

The cloud above my head... seems to be red, right?

Red means war and disaster?

Is it fake? It should be an ordinary sunset fire cloud?

Fire clouds are red, which is also normal, right?

Li Qi comforted himself.

However, he suddenly felt a tremor in his heart.

Cold sweat broke out all of a sudden, his heartbeat was thumping, and he unconsciously began to accelerate, making his skin redder.

"Is this... a whim?" Li Qi wiped the cold sweat.

The divination method recorded in the book "Zhu" is definitely not groundless!

It means that the danger has not been avoided!

"Lao Ma! Miss Shen! Move, someone is definitely coming towards us! Come and help me prepare" Li Qi shouted loudly!

"Think... think about it, what does the book "Zhu" say?" Li Qi forced himself to calm down.

He quickly looked for books, this time just a cursory reading, looking specifically for divination, hoping to see a solution, or some other divination method.

Then he suddenly read a sentence.

"Wood is born in spring, and it is prosperous when it is in season. Even if it encounters the palace of death and extinction in the pillar, it will not die if it moves to the land of prosperity." Li Qi slowly recited this passage.

Wood is born in spring...

Wood is born in spring...

He fell into deep thought.

———————————

At night, the houses and villages in the valley were hidden in the dark night, and they were not very real.

Baiyue is mountainous, and this place is even called Shiwan Mountain, so most of the villages in the wild live in dense mountains, and the forest coverage rate in the mountains is also the highest, so there are mostly forests around.

However, there is a difference between forests and forests.

Places where people live are not real "forests".

People are born to transform the surrounding environment and make it suitable for their existence.

In a place farther away from "people" and "villages".

In the place where the "real forest" is.

There were huge cracks in the surrounding rocks, and springs gushed out of them. There were trees everywhere, and some of the towering trees were twisted and swirled, and some were even split in half by lightning. The vines and plants were entangled with each other, and from a distance they looked like fragments scattered on a spider web. The air made people feel damp and hot, which was normal. In the forest, there were dense leaves, tall trunks and methane, which could prevent the heat from radiating, making the temperature rise further and becoming hot and humid.

In the primitive jungle of Baiyue Shiwan Mountain, all the trees and shrubs were crowded together without any scruples, and there was no square or rules at all.

There were strange patterns everywhere in the corners, as if they were twisted in the first place - this was a place that would make city people who were used to the streets dizzy.

In such a primitive jungle, the last ray of sunset shone on the mountains, dyeing the originally green mountain streams and green forests with a bright red, as if there was a flame burning, and it seemed as if dazzling blood was flowing down the valley.

The heat of the day faded quickly, and the night wind with a hint of chill grew stronger and stronger, making people's hands and feet stiff.

In the dark valley, this is a valley full of primitive atmosphere. The ubiquitous moss rocks, broad-leaved shrubs and climbing vines make the terrain particularly complicated. There is a forest covering the sky outside the valley in the distance, and there are several cave entrances on the right side that look like they were split by a knife. It is dark inside and no one knows where it leads.

This place has almost never been set foot by anyone. It is a paradise for monsters.

The vines and plants are entangled with each other, making the road very difficult to walk. Even professional hunters will inevitably feel that this place is too bumpy, and there are many beasts and carnivorous plants. It is a very dangerous place.

However, in this paradise of monsters, there is an extra team of soldiers.

A team of soldiers wearing black armor, about ten people, and the whole team actually has horses!

Each soldier was equipped with a horse. The captain's horse was seven feet tall. He was calm and composed, and his spirit was high. When he looked up, one could feel his pride.

There was a flag bearer among them. A flag was hung on his spear, waving in the wind, making a rustling sound.

On the flag, there were spreading branches, like pine trees.

"Xiaoqi, the last place the dragon colt appeared was here. The blood is still here, but he was hit by your halberd, so he must have been seriously injured." A sergeant said to the officer.

"My halberd used evil spirits, he must be seriously injured, he can't run far, there must be traces within a radius of 500 miles, keep looking." The officer said coldly.

"By the way, Zhang Wu, your divination skills can accurately predict the location before, why doesn't it work now?" The officer turned around and said to a sergeant.

The sergeant named Zhang Wu smiled bitterly: "Xiaoqi, my father is a country sorcerer, so I have learned some divination skills from him, how can I be considered a real fortune teller?"

"But I guess it worked before, but it doesn't work now. I'm afraid that the dragon horse has met a master. The master's grade is high, and the cause and effect can be naturally disturbed around him, so the divination skills are easy to fail."

"I heard that some masters have a pure body, filth cannot get close to them, evil ghosts and demons cannot touch them, cold and heat are not invaded, all kinds of methods will greatly reduce their power, and even curses cannot be imposed on them, making it even more difficult to divine. Staying beside them will naturally form a shield..." said the sergeant.

The officer sneered: "Immaculate body? He must be a Taoist master of the fifth rank or above. He crushed us all to death with just one finger. How could he be interested in a mere dragon colt? He rides a real dragon!"

"So it can't be this reason. It must be something else. What else is possible?" he asked again.

"Then...it could also be that the dragon colt encountered a place with strong qi, such as a city with a lot of people, or a graveyard with a lot of dead qi, and was rushed by the qi, covering up its tracks." He replied.

"If this is possible, then look in this direction." The officer ordered.
