When Xu Ping heard Wu Changjiu's words, he was even more certain that the Ishida ghost he was looking for was definitely nearby.
It's just a pity.
Such an ambitious man did not die in Qicheng, but fell at his doorstep.
Xu Ping looked at everyone and said: "Since we know each other, let's bury the body to prevent it from being eaten by the animals in the mountains."
His words made Ma Dalong stunned for a moment and praised: "It turns out that Brother Xu is also a man of temperament, but he didn't notice it."
Xu Ping smiled and said nothing.
Although saying such words may make the other party suspicious, it doesn't matter.
Wu Changjiu nodded and agreed with Xu Ping's words, "Brother Long, my relationship with them is not bad at all. We had many contacts in the past, so it should be the same."
Ma Dalong didn't say anything more, but just echoed: "That's what it should be."
After burying the two corpses in the thorn forest, the group continued walking in the dark.
After leaving the thorn forest, the road here became easier to walk, and Xu Ping looked around, combined with the memories he got from Lao Li, he suddenly discovered that this seemed to be the most bizarre cave in Laer Mountain.
The weird thing is naturally the fallen flower girl in the cave.
Ma Dalong also noticed it, stopped, looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on the distance.
There seems to be a faint red light emitting in the night sky, and it seems to be guiding the direction for lost travelers.
"Red Stone Forest?!"
Ma Dalong looked delighted and pointed into the distance: "That must be the Red Stone Forest. We have finally arrived."
It has always been said that there is a mountaintop that emits red light in the night, and on that mountaintop, there is an extremely powerful cave god and the cave-fallen flower girl who serves him.
There are countless gold, silver, treasures, magic weapons and holy objects in the cave, which the flower girls who fell into the cave snatched from everywhere and dedicated them to the cave god.
This rumor has been circulating in several surrounding towns for at least a hundred years. They went hiking several times, and today they finally had the opportunity to experience this century-old legend in person.
"Brother Long, be careful."
Wu Changjiu reminded Ma Dalong with a worried look on his face.
Ma Dalong waved his hand and then ordered: "Keep the formation, we will go over immediately."
Several people quickly approached there, completely forgetting about the danger they might encounter. In other words, the legendary cave was enough to offset the danger they were about to face.
Xu Ping looked at Ma Dalong with an excited face and shook his head secretly.
How can such a character achieve great things?
He even looks less stable than Chun Sanniang and Wu Changjiu next to him.
Xu Ping couldn't understand why these two people had to obey Ma Dalong's orders, or why they had a special friendship.
As they were thinking wildly in their minds, they found themselves getting further and further away from the hilltop that was emitting a faint red light.
what's the situation?
Ma Dalong stopped and looked at the mountain. It was not that he didn't know the saying, but he had never heard of it. The mountain would become farther and farther away, as if it were moving.
He looked at a few people, was silent for a moment, and asked: "Is that mountain... moving?"
Wu Changjiu and Chun Sanniang were also a little unbelievable. After a long silence, Wu Changjiu said, "Could we have encountered a ghost?"
Chun Sanniang immediately said: "It's impossible. The feedback given to me by the Poison God Baby tells me that we have indeed been moving forward and we haven't encountered anything weird."
Xu Ping also recognized this statement.
But why the hilltops emitting red light were getting farther and farther away, he couldn't see clearly for a while.
"keep going."
After thinking for a long time, he still didn't understand, so Ma Dalong had no choice but to move on.
This time they kept accelerating, getting faster and faster, galloping through the mountains and forests, but the red light in their eyes still showed the same distance, as if they had never been close.
When Xu Ping discovered this while galloping, he immediately relaxed his mind, felt the changes around him, and thought about why this happened.
The first thing is to make sure again whether everything you have experienced is real.
The oncoming wind was cool, but it was also normal. It was obviously different from the wind caused by spiritual energy turbulence, which was enough to prove that I had indeed been moving forward.
There was no riot of energy around.
In this case, the reason why this situation occurs can only be that the aura here is affected by the weird red light, thus giving us the illusion that it is right in front of us and has been moving.
As Xu Ping was galloping, he quietly climbed up and checked his surroundings.
not found!
Then he gathered the energy of chaos into his eyes, broke through the illusion, looked directly at the red light in the distance, and penetrated into the red light to see what was hidden.
A thousand miles away!
His eyes passed through one mountaintop after another that was emitting red light, endless, as if until the end of the world.
The direction is wrong, the mountain top emitting red light is not here at all.
Xu Ping was galloping in the air, covered in golden light. Under the cover of the golden light, his eyes looked around and suddenly lit up.
In the other direction, the eyes finally stopped at the mountain top that really radiated red light. The landforms of that mountain area were extremely unique. The rugged stone paths were neat and the layers of red stones appeared in the field of vision like wrinkles on the earth.
.
And at the highest point of that piece of red stone, there is a cave that is more than three people high and two people wide. No light can penetrate the cave, and it is pitch black inside.
Even Xu Ping couldn't see anything.
"Sure enough, this red light is causing trouble!"
Xu Ping finally discovered what happened to them.
The red light in the forest continued to create one illusion after another within the sight of several people. After passing through one illusion, they were faced with another illusion.
The top of the mountain that really radiated red light was not in the direction they were going. Even if they ran to death, they could not get close to it.
He always maintained his speed and followed Ma Dalong. After discovering this situation, he did not say anything for the time being. Instead, he was thinking that he had found the true direction now and did not need to follow them anymore.
It can be said that these people are not fun at all. If you kill them, they will be killed. What Xu Ping is thinking about is that if after killing them, if Ishida Ghost is not found in the cave, then there will only be one
The ruins of Wu Gu Cult.
But who can take me to the ruins of the witchcraft sect?
Since the cunning Ishida Ghost entered the mountain, he must have discovered something, at least something beneficial. I think that even if he came here, he would not let go of this site of the Miao Territory Holy Sect.
But now I have to think about how to let the people around me know that I am running in the wrong direction.
"etc!"
Ma Dalong suddenly shouted and stopped.
His expression became ugly, and his eyes under the night seemed to be burning with anger. He took two heavy breaths and said, "No matter what, it is impossible to run over like this."
He discovered this problem and became angry, as if there was infinite wealth in front of him, but finally discovered that it turned out to be a mirage.
Xu Ping didn't know what he should do to let them know that they were in the wrong direction.
If you say it directly, they will definitely ask, how did you see it?
Chun Sanniang thought for a moment and said, "I wonder if it was the strange red light that affected our judgment."
Holding the Poison God in her arms, she frowned slightly and whispered her judgment.
Wu Changjiu said: "What you mean is that it looks close, but in fact it is still very far away from us."
"Um."
Chun Sanniang nodded: "This is my idea, but it may not be right. I can't be sure."
After she finished speaking, several people looked at Ma Dalong again.
Now that it's almost dawn, Ma Dalong has the final say whether to continue moving forward or give up.
Ma Dalong looked at everyone and found that Xu Ping had been looking up at the sky. He thought for a moment and asked: "Brother Xu, have you discovered anything?"
Xu Ping thought for a while and said, "I was thinking, has it always been like this here? Does the moon never appear in the middle of the night?"
After hearing what he said, several people were immediately confused.
Ma Dalong's raging anger was about to pour out. Everyone was worried about that damn red light, but you were here studying the moonlight.
"I think what we should be thinking about now is how to find that mountain, not the damn moon." His tone was cold, as if he could not suppress his anger.
"oh."
Xu Ping smiled with an "apology" on his face and said, "Don't get me wrong, I was just thinking about..."
As he spoke, he pointed to Chun Sanniang and continued: "What she said is that if there is a problem with the red light, but we don't know what the problem is, then we must find a way to destroy the red light. Moonlight seems to be a good idea.
.”
moonlight?!
Several people did not expect this at all, and Ma Dalong also raised his head in shock, looking at the night without any stars in the sky.
"Do you have any idea?"
Ma Dalong asked tentatively, his voice softening again.
In fact, Xu Ping has already thought of a way, which is to push away the dark clouds in the sky and let the moonlight shine all over the earth. Under the shining of the moonlight, the scene originally illuminated by red light is destroyed. After the destruction of the moonlight, in front of everyone's sight
Inside, there will definitely be multiple pieces of red light.
And I just need to lead them to the right path.
He deliberately said that through the inspiration of Chun Sanniang, these people would be more convinced and would not think there was anything wrong.
Xu Ping said softly, "If it is the red light that causes it, then guiding the moonlight to shine down and destroying the red light may allow us to see how far away the mountains are in our sight."
He didn't say the direction, but the distance.
As soon as he finished speaking, while Ma Dalong was still deep in thought, Wu Changjiu said: "I think the method mentioned by Brother Xu should be feasible."
Chun Sanniang also nodded: "No matter what, it's always right to give it a try."
After hearing what both of them said, Ma Dalong also nodded.
He reached into his arms, and when he took it out, a large number of Gu worms appeared in his hand, and he swung it towards the darkness in front of him. Large pieces of Gu worms fell on the ground, flew in the air, headed towards the depths of the darkness, and disappeared immediately.
.
After less than half a cup of tea, many wild wolves suddenly appeared in the mountains and forests, including some as big as tigers. Maybe if you give them some time, they can turn into monsters.
Driven by the Gu insects, these wild wolves ran towards a cliff. Hundreds of wild wolves raised their heads and howled simultaneously into the night sky.
"Ouch——"
The howl of the wolf went straight into the sky, and as if it felt the call, the dim moonlight began to appear on the edge of the dark clouds, and slowly was completely exposed in the night sky.
When the moonlight quietly emerged from the dark clouds, and the entire Laer Mountains seemed to be covered with a layer of silver frost, Xu Ping quietly released a force of chaos, which merged with the moonlight and destroyed the red light in his sight.
The next moment, several red lights lit up around several people at the same time.
The nearest red light seemed to be just a few hundred meters away.
Being so close, Ma Dalong and the others were finally able to see the scene under the red light.
The red stone forest exuded a strange dark red color, enveloping a dark cave that looked like a hell cave, which seemed particularly abrupt. This discovery made Ma Dalong very excited, and he immediately said excitedly: "Brother Xu, I have to give it to you this time.
Remember the first achievement."
He said excitedly, but his eyes never left.
The several red lights around are all the same scene, but after the refraction of the moonlight, there must be some real ones and some fake ones. If you identify them one by one, I'm afraid it will be dawn by then and you will have to wait another night.
Ma Dalong really couldn't wait a moment now. God knows what other troubles would arise after one night.
He took out a few Listening Gu and distributed them to the three of them, saying, "Let's act separately. Each of us chooses a direction. If that direction is correct, we will immediately send the message through the Listening Gu."
The real red stone forest is in the north, about twenty miles away. Xu Ping did not choose that side, but took the opposite path.
Chun Sanniang took that path.
Xu Ping pretended to move forward, thinking about when Chun Sanniang's voice would sound from the listening Gu in his hand.
But after he fished here for a long time, he realized something was wrong.
According to Chun Sanniang's speed, she should have arrived. Why is there no sound at all when listening to the sound Gu.
Does she want to take it all to herself?
But if she doesn't come back for a long time and no sound comes through, Ma Dalong and the others should know immediately and won't have much time to give her.
We can't completely believe in human nature, at least it's hard for anyone to resist when faced with a huge temptation.
Xu Ping started to walk back, and when he came back, he saw Ma Dalong and Wu Changjiu, who had returned early and stood there, each looking at a plan.
Everyone, please go and try it soon.]
When he saw Xu Ping coming back, Ma Dalong immediately looked in the direction where Chun Sanniang disappeared.
"Brother Long, will Sanniang encounter any danger?"
Ma Dalong shook his head, with a cold face: "If she encounters danger, she will even send a message back."
"snort!"
He snorted coldly, looked at Xu Ping and Wu Changjiu, and said: "Let's go and chase her. I want to see where this bitch has such courage."
Wu Changjiu still didn't believe that Chun Sanniang would betray them, but when the sky was getting brighter and the mountain top in red light appeared within their sight, they had to believe that Chun Sanniang had indeed taken the lead and climbed there quickly.
