Chapter 18 The Lamb

Li Chuyi followed the Taoist priest, and unknowingly came to the stairs of the second floor in the place where the Taoist priest had walked.

Although the journey was peaceful, seeing that the Taoist priest did not walk in a straight line, but turned around and sometimes took a few steps back, Li Chuyi knew that this floor was not that simple, and there must be some mechanism and restriction that he did not know. If the Taoist priest was not familiar with the road, I am afraid that this journey would not be so easy.

The stairs on the second floor were also cast by Chi Jing. It seems that this attic, except for the two doors at the entrance, is cast by Chi Jing. Li Chuyi could not help but curse the old monster Wuyang for being a loser in his heart for a long time.

When he climbed to the second floor, the scene in front of him suddenly changed. The first floor was dark and gloomy just now, but the moment he stepped on the second floor, the scenery in front of him suddenly turned into a grassland with birds singing and flowers blooming and the sun shining. Looking around, there was a spring atmosphere, and from time to time there were herds of cattle and sheep passing by in the distance.

Li Chuyi's eyes were always open, but no matter how he looked, he could not see any flaws.

"Don't look at it. With your current power, you can't see through the illusion on the second floor." The voice of the Taoist priest came from the side.

"Master, can you see through it?" Li Chuyi asked.

The Taoist priest shook his head and whispered: "The old monster Wuyang has a great cultivation. With five souls, he is like a fish in water and natural when setting up the formation. The illusion on the second floor has reached the state of being real and fake. Even I find it difficult to find the flaws."

"Then what should we do?" Li Chuyi asked again.

"Don't worry. Any formation in the world is not unbreakable. Not to mention human efforts, even the natural formation will leave a glimmer of hope. This is the unchanging truth since ancient times. Things will turn to the opposite extreme. This second floor is so full of vitality, that is the extreme of life. If we want to get out, we will find a place of death. Don't move, wait for me to calculate it." After that, the Taoist priest sat cross-legged on the spot, looked around, counted with his fingers, and his lips opened and closed slightly, muttering something silently.

Seeing the Taoist like this, Li Chuyi was relieved. He didn't dare to move. He sat down on the spot and looked around curiously. There was no way to worry. He didn't understand. Anyway, the Taoist was omnipotent in his heart. Just follow the Taoist.

The breeze blew, and the warm sunshine sprinkled on his body. Li Chuyi squinted his eyes comfortably. If it weren't for the Taoist who was calculating something seriously beside him, Li Chu always felt that he had a dream. In the dream, there was a Taoist master. He followed the Taoist to exorcise demons and perform rituals to earn money since he was a child. Then he tried his best to get money from the Taoist who liked to visit brothels. Finally, he followed the Taoist to a tomb that looked like a golden palace. This tomb was built for him by an old monster called Wuyang Laoguai who had been dead for a long time.

Meow~~~

Not far away, a little sheep stood there for a long time, not afraid of people, and looked at Li Chuyi curiously with a pair of big eyes, as if wondering why this fat and strange animal looked different from himself.

Meow~~~~

Li Chuyi's thoughts were flying. When he heard the sheep calling, he lazily pulled his mind back a little bit and looked at the lamb next to him.

What a cute lamb!

Li Chuyi suddenly felt that the lamb was very cute.

I really want to stay here forever and live a carefree life like this!

Thinking of this, a wave of sleepiness came up. Li Chuyi put his hands behind his head and lay down. His body sank into the soft grass, and the long-lasting fragrance came, and the sleepiness suddenly became stronger.

Meow~~~

Listening to the childish cry of the lamb next to him, Li Chuyi smiled slightly and thought: "The little guy must have lost and can't find his mother. Don't worry, wait for me to sleep for a while, and I will take you to find your mother when I wake up."

Suddenly, I remembered that the Taoist priest asked me not to move around. Although I lay down, my butt didn't move, so it shouldn't be considered moving around, right?

It shouldn't be considered, anyway, I just don't move. It's just that when I wake up later, I may not be able to take the lamb to find its mother.

Oh, forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll ask the Taoist priest if he can take me to find it later.

I'm so sleepy, I'd better sleep for a while, anyway, it seems that the Taoist priest will take a long time.

Taoist priest... will take a long time...

Why... will it take a long time...?

Taoist priest... Taoist priest... Who is it...?

Who is it...?

Unconsciously, Li Chuyi's mind became more and more blurred. The strong sleepiness made him just want to sleep and didn't want to think about anything else. So, he fell asleep gradually.

Meow~~~~

The lamb not far away glanced at Li Chuyi who was gradually falling asleep, and lowered his head to eat the grass beside him.

However, the lamb's mouth, which was covered by thick grass and kept chewing and moving, showed a human smile.

That smile was extremely cold.

The lamb lowered its head, ate while walking, and unknowingly walked to Li Chuyi's side.

Its ears trembled slightly, as if it was listening to something. After a while, it found nothing unusual, raised its head slightly, looked around with its big eyes, and after confirming that no one was disturbing it, it turned its face to Li Chuyi.

After looking at Li Chuyi for a long time, it bleated a few times beside him, and found that Li Chuyi had no response, the lamb was relieved.

After taking a deep breath, the lamb's big watery eyes suddenly turned blood red, and the lamb's mouth that was constantly chewing also cracked, revealing a humane cold smile. Four fangs that were bigger than a wild wolf stretched out from its mouth. When its mouth opened, it was faintly seen that there were not only four huge fangs, but the lamb's mouthful of teeth had already turned into sharp teeth like a crocodile, with several rows of secondary teeth crisscrossing, and the whole lamb face was extremely fierce.

At the moment when the lamb changed, Li Chuyi seemed to feel something, and his thoughts that had long drifted away were instantly pulled back, and the whole person woke up with a start. Turning his head to see the lamb next to him that was more wolfish than a wolf, Li Chuyi was shocked and wanted to get up and jump, but he found that except for his head, his whole body was out of control and could not move. He could not make any sound from his mouth, and the mysterious skills he had practiced for many years in his body were also motionless, as if they did not exist.

Li Chuyi was horrified and turned to look at the other side, wanting the Taoist priest to help, but when he looked over, he found that the place where the Taoist priest should be sitting was empty and the Taoist priest was nowhere to be found.

No wonder the Taoist priest had no reaction to such a big monster. It turned out that the Taoist priest disappeared without a trace! If the Taoist priest was there, he would have beaten the dead sheep monster with a palm and the soul flew away without a trace.

Li Chuyi was panicked. He had followed the Taoist priest since he was a child, and he could almost be said to be inseparable. Even when the Taoist priest went to the brothel to "supernatural salvation", he asked him to find the nearest teahouse inn to wait. The Taoist priest never let him stay away from him.

This was the first time in his life that he encountered a situation where the Taoist priest was not by his side, and it was so dangerous.

Did the Taoist priest encounter danger?

No, the Taoist priest could even roar away the thunder tribulation. This broken tomb should be no different from cabbage to him.

Did the Taoist priest not want him anymore?

Impossible. Not to mention that the Taoist priest said he needed me to find something for him, even if he didn't need me to help him, he couldn't just throw me away without saying a word. If he wanted to throw me away, he would have thrown me away long ago. Why did he need to raise me to this age before throwing me away?

Could it be that the Taoist priest had gone out to explore and hadn't come back yet?

Impossible. The Taoist priest would definitely call me when he went out to explore. He couldn't go alone.

In an instant, Li Chuyi's mind was spinning rapidly, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. In the end, Li Chuyi determined that there was only one possibility, that is, he had unknowingly triggered the restriction of the illusion on the second floor and was trapped. After thinking about it, the most likely possibility was that he had just felt sleepy and lay down, which triggered it.

But it was useless to figure it out. Now my body was out of control and I couldn't shout. Only my head could move and my eyes could turn, but looking at the monster next to me with saliva dripping, I had no power to resist.

What should I do? Is this going to die? How can I solve the dilemma in front of me? Should I stare at it to death? Intimidate it?

Li Chuyi tried to open his eyes wide and glared at the sheep demon fiercely!

When the sheep demon saw Li Chuyi glaring at him, he chuckled strangely, and saliva flowed more.

Li Chuyi burst into tears instantly. Damn, he didn't kill the sheep demon, but made it hungry. It even changed its species and could "quack" like a duck!

Instantly, all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. Li Chuyi suddenly had an idea. He suddenly thought that his situation seemed to be similar to the "ghost pressing on the body" he encountered when he helped the Taoist priest to perform rituals to exorcise ghosts. Both of them could not move, but the eyeballs could move and the consciousness was clear.

Think about it, the Taoist priest said the solution at that time, what should I do?

It seems that I can let others pat me awake, and I can wake up as long as I pat myself.

Li Chuyi looked around. The Taoist priest was not there, so he followed the monster by himself. How about letting the monster pat me? It is more likely that it will bite me! Li Chuyi's eyes were filled with tears.

The second method is to use Xuan Gong to disperse the ghost pressing on the body.

Think about it, let alone exercise, my body seems not to be my own, I can't move at all, this method doesn't work either.

There is another method, I remember that the Taoist once said that no matter whether it is a mortal or a cultivator, if they are oppressed by a ghost and can't move, if they have great willpower, they can also remove their own paralysis state, and this method is also a training for their willpower.

Is my willpower strong?

Li Chuyi thought about it, damn, it's time, I don't care whether it is strong or not, I have to be strong if it's not strong!

Gritting his teeth, Li Chuyi ignored the sheep demon that kept approaching him, and rarely focused all his thoughts in his life, with only one voice in his heart.

"Move!"

But the body didn't react. Li Chuyi was not discouraged, and tried to concentrate his attention, and kept shouting to himself in his heart.

Suddenly, an indescribable soreness and numbness passed through his whole body, as if countless small ants were pulling his muscles and bones, and as if someone had pricked his whole body with numbness in an instant, making Li Chuyi feel uncomfortable as if he was dying. The soreness and numbness immediately destroyed Li Chuyi's willpower, making him feel like he didn't want to move and didn't dare to move, for fear that the soreness and numbness would come again.

No wonder the Taoist said that it was an exercise for willpower. Li Chuyi finally understood what the Taoist meant.

It's better to have a feeling than not to have a feeling. Although he didn't want to experience this soreness and numbness for the second time in his life, looking at the sheep demon next to him, he chose to be numb for three days and three nights instead of being eaten to death by it.

Ignoring the voice in his heart that kept telling him "Don't move, don't do it again, it's too uncomfortable, it's better to die", Li Chuyi knew that was his cowardly side.

Roaring in his heart, "I want to live!", Li Chuyi gritted his teeth and struggled hard again. The sour and numb feeling immediately swept through his body, making him want to die.

The sheep demon was just looking carefully at the side, looking east and west and sniffing as if slowly savoring his prey. Suddenly, he found that Li Chuyi's face changed, his expression was ferocious and miserable, and his eyes turned, and he immediately understood what Li Chuyi was doing. So he didn't hesitate, the sheep demon retracted his head slightly, roared, opened his mouth and bit Li Chuyi.

Li Chuyi tried for a long time, and the palm of his right hand finally regained consciousness. Although it was still very sore and numb, at least he could control it, and the controlled position was gradually expanding, spreading to his entire right arm.

When he was about to control his right arm, he heard the sheep demon next to him roaring and opening his mouth to bite him. In a hurry, he could only raise his right arm, which had just regained consciousness but was still very sore and numb, to block it in front of him.

But ideals are beautiful, and reality is cruel. The numbness in his right arm made Li Chuyi's movements extremely slow. Although he roared in his heart to make his right arm faster, it was useless. He could only lift it up little by little. Compared with the sheep's head biting at him, the speed of his arm was equivalent to being still.

"It's over now! I'm dead!" Looking at the bloody mouth, as if he could already smell the fishy smell in the monster's mouth, Li Chuyi sighed in his heart.

"But it's not bad. I should be able to become a ghost cultivator after death. At that time, I will cultivate the ghost way with Ziyuan and the five little ghosts, hahahaha!" Li Chuyi, who was born optimistic, had not mourned for a moment, and then he thought optimistically again, "I hope the Taoist priest can come back in time and take my ghost away. Otherwise, I will just be feeding the two doors at the door."

"Goodbye, my short life!" Li Chuyi looked at the big mouth that was getting closer and closer, "A new life as a ghost, here I come!"

Showing a big smile, Li Chuyi closed his eyes.

Pah!

"Beat you to death!"
