Chapter 55: Black Land

In the dead silence, a faint conversation broke the tranquility.

"Admit it, your salvation is actually only useful for that talisman, and the rest is nonsense." A female voice said coldly.

"Who said that? That's because you don't understand. That talisman is very important, but if there is no salvation spell, what's the use of burning that talisman? Do you think this is a roasted rabbit?" A dissatisfied boy came, and the age of the boy should not be very old, at most a teenager.

"Come on, this place is so dangerous, you actually spent so much time doing this useless ritual, I am a ghost, so I am not afraid, you are a little kid who hasn't even grown a beard yet, aren't you afraid of attracting all the demons and ghosts?" The woman sneered coldly.

"What am I afraid of? As for demons and ghosts, there are six of them around me, one big and five small. They can play eagle catching chickens together. What am I afraid of? Besides, if there are any ghosts coming, with you, an old ghost with nearly a hundred years of cultivation, those little ghosts will kneel down and call me big sister obediently?" The boy said nonchalantly.

The woman was dissatisfied when she heard it, and asked fiercely: "Boy, who do you say is the old ghost?"

"Uh... It's a slip of the tongue. I am praising you for being awesome. Don't get me wrong. Who are you? You are the youngest, most beautiful and extraordinary female ghost in the world-Sister Ziyuan!" The boy knew he had said the wrong thing, and he quickly flattered him.

The woman was satisfied, snorted softly, and let him go.

These two people are Li Chuyi and Ziyuan who are trapped in this deadly place.

Wiping his cold sweat secretly, Li Chuyi thought to himself: "What the Taoist said is indeed true. All females in this world, regardless of whether they are human, ghost, demon or monster, hate being told they are old. Even if they are old grandmothers in their seventies or eighties with only a few teeth left in their mouths, they cannot be told they are old, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Secretly glancing at Ziyuan, seeing that she was no longer angry, Li Chuyi was relieved and quickly changed the subject.

"Beautiful sister Ziyuan, are you sure this is the right direction? We have been walking for a long time, why haven't we arrived yet?"

After saying that, Li Chuyi touched his stomach, took out a big pancake that had been gnawed into the shape of a turtle, took a bite and said: "I have eaten ten meals, counting this meal, it's already eleven meals. Three meals a day, according to the dietary rules, we have been walking for almost four days, are you sure our direction is correct?"

Ziyuan glanced at him and said coldly: "First of all, this is what I learned from the memory of the zombie rabbit. Unless the memory of the rabbit is false, otherwise this direction is correct; secondly, three meals a day is the amount of food that ordinary people eat, not yours. If I remember correctly, you have eaten seven meals a day at most, and you are not afraid of being stuffed to death; finally, I never do boring things, so I can't and have no reason to take you around in circles, don't take it as a joke. If I were you, why would you burn a zombie rabbit and ask for salvation? You kept whining for so long. If you hadn't wasted so much time, we might have arrived earlier. "

Li Chuyi's face was embarrassed, and he said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I know you are right. I just want to talk to you because I'm bored. I'm afraid that if I don't talk, you might go crazy like before, which would be bad. "

Zi Yuan said lightly: "I don't like to talk. If I wasn't afraid that you would go crazy, do you think I would say so much to you?"

"But, can we not talk about salvation? You also know that this process was taught by the Taoist priest, and I have always done it this way. If you want to blame you, blame the Taoist priest? Anyway, that scripture is necessary, otherwise how can it be called salvation! It's simple to burn it directly, but that's either cremation or barbecue, not salvation!" Li Chuyi protested.

"Anyway, I think it's artificial, the most important thing is the talisman." After saying that, he glanced at Li Chuyi and said, "Besides, whether it's true or not, this matter can stimulate you very much, keep your mind active, and the possibility of going crazy will be reduced a lot. At the same time, it makes me very happy to stimulate you with this matter. Although I don't like to talk, I have to talk to you all the time now, so why don't I use the way that can make me happy while talking to you?"

One's own happiness is often built on the pain of others.

Li Chuyi has a deep understanding of the Taoist's words. At the same time, Li Chuyi has a very deep understanding of another sentence of the Taoist-women, and even the entire female group, cannot be easily offended.

Li Chuyi was helpless and could only chat with Ziyuan in a casual manner, or be stimulated by Ziyuan. He thought for a long time and didn't figure out how to offend Ziyuan. He didn't know that the disaster had been planted in the Sutra Library of the Five Sheep Tomb. At the beginning, Ziyuan was asked the same question by Li Chuyi for three consecutive days. Now that she has the opportunity, how can she not take a little revenge?

Just when Li Chuyi felt that he was about to be driven crazy by Ziyuan, as if a curtain was lifted, the gray and white color that had never changed in the foreword suddenly disappeared, and what came into view was a black land paved with black stone bricks.

Looking at the black shadow protruding from the ground in the far distance of the black land, Li Chuyi and Ziyuan looked at each other.

The two knew that they had arrived.

"Do you have any bad feelings?" Li Chuyi asked.

Ziyuan stepped on the black ground, took a few steps forward lightly, closed her eyes and felt for a while, and then retreated.

"No problem, just a little depressed, as if there is a big stone pressing on my heart." Ziyuan said.

Li Chuyi nodded and took a few steps forward. When he stepped on the black land, Li Chuyi did not feel anything except that his body became heavier.

"I have no problem, but I feel that my body has become heavier." Li Chuyi said.

Looking at the black shadow in the distance, Li Chuyi carefully identified it and said, "That is indeed an altar, and it should be quite large. It can be seen from such a long distance. I just don't know what the altar is for, and whether there is a way for us to go home."

After a short silence, Li Chuyi's face became serious.

"No matter what, we have to go and see, let's go."

After speaking, he glanced at Ziyuan and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, go back to the Demon-Subduing Mirror, and don't force yourself."

Ziyuan nodded.

The two walked forward, carefully along the way, always on guard against any accidents.

But after walking for a long time without any problems, the two people's tense hearts relaxed a little. At this moment, Li Chuyi stepped forward with one foot. Just as he lifted it to the air in front of him, he felt a huge suction force coming from the ground, which made him stomp on the ground involuntarily. His body shook and he was about to fall forward.

Zi Yuan quickly grabbed him and pulled him back with a strong pull.

Li Chuyi, who was sitting on the ground, looked at the ground in front of him, which was normal, and then looked at the soles of his shoes that had been corroded. His face was immediately covered with cold sweat. Fortunately, the two of them had not relaxed their vigilance and walked very slowly. If they walked faster, he might have fallen into the strange ground.

Wiping the cold sweat, Li Chuyi looked at the flat black ground around him. He searched for a long time but couldn't find a stone. After thinking for a while, he took out a small chess piece that he used to play with the Taoist priest from the storage bag and waved his hand to throw it forward. The stone chess piece flew forward, and was about to fall slowly. However, the moment it entered the ground in front, it was pulled to the ground by an invisible force. When it landed on the ground, it emitted bursts of green smoke, and disappeared in a hissing sound, as if it was swallowed by the ground, leaving no residue.

"Oh my God, so weird?" Li Chuyi saw it with a grin.

"Go around." Ziyuan looked solemn.

Li Chuyi nodded slightly, took out a handful of stones, and the two began to walk horizontally, throwing a chess piece every few distances.

The chess pieces continued to merge into the ground, and the two had walked a long way. Just when the chess pieces were about to be thrown out, finally, a chess piece drew a beautiful parabola, flew far ahead, landed on the ground, flicked a few times, and then stood there motionless.

"Fortunately, not all of them were surrounded and killed."

Wiping off the cold sweat, Li Chuyi nodded to Ziyuan, and the two walked forward. The footsteps became slower and more cautious.
