Predicament (Two in One)

Chapter 103 Dilemma (Two in One)

It was Guo Jianming's voice!

The doubts in Li Wuxiang's heart were dissipated at once: "I am not fake, I am Li Wuxiang. Didn't you ask me to save you?"

After a long time, Li Wuxiang heard Guo Jianming say: "Oh, yes, I asked you to come. Come to me, come to me, quickly!"

He immediately closed his mouth. Guo Jianming really can't say "yes" - is it the evil ghost that Cheng Peixin said?

After a while, another voice said: "Don't pay attention to him, don't talk! Come to me, left, grab my hand!"

This sounds like what Lao Guo would say, but when Lao Guo said these words, he shouldn't have such a vicious smile.

Li Wuxiang still ignored it, and the thing didn't speak. But the next moment, a hand touched the back of his hand: "Hurry! It's too late!"

Li Wuxiang still didn't move, letting the hand keep touching him, and something was slowly crawling on his back and head. They should want him to reach out and touch them actively - there seems to be an essential difference between being touched and actively touching.

If it were an ordinary person, he might not be able to resist opening them. But for Li Wuxiang, this was completely insignificant compared to the feeling of the tentacles crawling in his body, so he just stood there quietly. After about two quarters of an hour, the sound and touch slowly disappeared, and a vicious and unwilling scolding passed by his ears, and finally it was completely quiet.

So Li Wuxiang said: "Lao Guo, wait until midnight, I will take you out."

"Why wait until midnight?"

"Ignore him!"

Li Wuxiang immediately closed his mouth that was about to open.

"Master, I know. I will always be grateful for your kindness... Master, ignore anyone who asks you to reply to them. I know!"

I really don't know how Guo Jianming has persisted here for so many days. This person's character should be much better than I originally thought.

So Li Wuxiang stopped talking and tried breathing in the complete darkness. The spiritual energy here is actually very sufficient, but it is quite chaotic, but it is better than that in the illusion of Ranshan. But there is also a lot of resentment and yin energy in these spiritual energies. He only absorbed a little bit, and immediately felt that the breath in his body was rushing left and right, which was very similar to the sign of going crazy as Zeng Jianqiu said, so he quickly stopped.

The wild gods and monsters in Lingshan seem to like the power of incense and vows. I don't know if it is related to this-it is impossible to breathe and practice like outside, so you have to rely on external forces. But it doesn't work even if it is as powerful as the external evil? Or is there another reason?

When he thought of this, he suddenly had a guess in his mind - as he thought, "there seems to be an essential difference between touching and being touched"... Can actively touching something be considered a kind of willpower? However, it is an extremely weak one.

If the things in Lingshan are so eager for willpower, then the environment there is really bad to an unimaginable degree!

He thought and waited like this, and after an unknown period of time, he suddenly saw a hazy light on the left, like a person seeing a little light on the surface of the water in a very deep underwater. He kept counting his breaths, and it seemed to be midnight at this time. He shouted: "Master Cheng?"

After a while, a faint voice came from outside, which sounded like Cheng Shengfei, but seemed to be far away from the bronze mirror.

Li Wuxiang didn't know if they were late, and was about to come over. But he really didn't want to stay in such a place for a moment, so he immediately followed Cheng Peixin's instructions, holding the bronze mirror in one hand and aiming it at the light, summoning the flying sword, and smashing the mirror with a ding.

Nothing happened, he was still in such a dark place!

What happened outside? Li Wuxiang took a breath slowly, but the bloody smell immediately rushed into his body, and he hurriedly stopped pretending. Or...

"Master, now we can talk to the outside, when are we going out?" Guo Jianming's voice sounded, weakly, "Ah, you don't need to reply to me, I'll just wait! Oh... It's really me, can you see me? Oh, you can see me."

So Li Wuxiang saw a figure in the dim light. It was like the reflection of someone in the water waves, with a very blurry face, swaying from far to near, and maybe he could see the general appearance.

If this person is really Lao Guo, then he is very different from the last time he saw him. He was originally in his thirties, with a dark complexion. But now his face was of different shades, probably covered in blood. I don't know if it was caused by the yin energy and resentment here, or by scratching when he couldn't stand it anymore.

Does nodding count as a response? Li Wuxiang didn't try, just said: "If you can bear it a little longer, wait a little longer. There may be some trouble."

The method of breaking the law that Cheng Peixin said didn't work, and until the hazy light disappeared, he could only hear Cheng Shengfei's distant whispers - two thoughts came to Li Wuxiang's mind, but neither of them was very good.

He counted his breaths for another day and night, and ignored any voices talking to him during this time.

Finally, the hazy light appeared again. But this time it was not the green light like last time, but a dim red light. He didn't speak to anyone anymore, but listened carefully - there was no human voice anymore, replaced by a crackling sound, very subtle and irregular, as if many children were setting off firecrackers randomly and one by one. Son.

Li Wuxiang remained silent until nearly a quarter of an hour later, the light, shadow and sound completely disappeared again.

"Lao Guo, just wait a moment." Li Wuxiang whispered, "I still have to figure something out."

The third time the light appeared, it was the same as the second time. It was dim red, and there were still subtle, irregular crackling sounds.

But there's one difference - it gets hot in here.

In fact, Li Wuxiang felt it yesterday, and thought it was due to his anxiety. But today, the feeling of heat was more obvious, reminding him of the summer in his previous life.

In the past two days, Guo Jianming didn't speak much. He was only occasionally driven crazy by certain sounds and shouted a few words. But the voice was weak, and it was obvious that it was reaching its limit. But today, when Li Wuxiang asked him again, he had no response.

Maybe he died, but Li Wuxiang was not sure that death here was different from death outside. Logically speaking, his body is not very sensitive to changes in temperature. Most of it depends on the moisture in the skin. But now he himself feels unbearably hot. It seems that it is unbearable for a living person like Guo Jianming.

By the time the light appeared for the fourth time, it was almost scorching inside. Li Wuxiang could almost feel that his skin was rapidly dehydrating and becoming dry.

So he opened his mouth and asked loudly——

"Master Cheng Guan!"

"When did you invite Puppet Zhao?"

No response.

But Li Wuxiang already understood that he had made a very serious mistake.

No, it can't be considered a serious mistake, but a serious consequence caused by a small negligence. And this oversight is precisely because of my unique origins and past.

Zeng Jianqiu told him that if you get out of the golden water, don't trust the practitioners in the world. In the past few days, Li Wuxiang thought of a sentence from his previous life - what is Jianghu? Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

It's a pity that he himself regarded this definition of people as "casual cultivators", and unconsciously excluded people from the thirty-six sects. Or maybe it was because of Cheng Shengfei. This girl's temperament was very similar to Zeng Jianqiu's. Her exuberant vitality and rare heart made Cheng Peixin look overshadowed - so he relaxed his vigilance towards the watcher.

If the bronze mirror was in the hands of others, he would never trust himself to go into the mirror to save Guo Jianming.

But four days ago, it seemed that all reasons were urging me to take the initiative to agree to this matter——

Zhao Puppet and Waixie are in Lingshan, and he would like to explore Lingshan.

Compared to people in this world, although I was considered a little indifferent and cold-hearted in my previous life, by the standards of this life I was actually very emotional, so I would not let Guo Jianming be reflected in the mirror as a matter of course.

She doesn't know much about magic such as cultivation in this world. If Cheng Peixin has been quite trustworthy these days, there won't be much doubt when she tells how to get in and out of the bronze mirror, even if she is making it up.

The first two points are the most critical. They are simply bait tailor-made for you. The only people in the world who know these two points are Xue Baoping, Zeng Jianqiu, and Zhao Puppet.

And... recently, after experiencing a series of fierce fights, he once thought about how others would deal with him.

My current level of cultivation is not very high, but it is actually very troublesome to ask for death.

The methods that can kill ordinary practitioners will only injure themselves. Even if you are trapped by some powerful spell, you can still escape into the illusion of Ranshan. If he wanted to completely eliminate it, the most convenient way he could think of was to burn it - find a place where he couldn't escape into the illusion, burn the skin first, leaving only the golden entanglement, and then it would be easy to deal with. .

And he has tried it in the past two days - here, he can neither enter Ranshan Illusion nor the remaining bricks, let alone face the opponent. The only one who knows the secret of Ranshan Illusion and Canzhuan is Zhao Puppet.

As for now, he guessed that the dim red light he had seen for three consecutive days was the light of the fire, and those crackling sounds were the sounds of the flames burning.

One thing is certain: this fire will not cause the temperature here to become extremely high in the end, but will slowly dry itself out to preserve the shredded paper inside the body that contains the illusion of Ranshan.

Li Wuxiang sighed. Was it when Cheng Peixin invited Zhao Puppet on the first night? After all, many spirits possessed her at that time.

But something is wrong. Now Zhao Puppet is a fake Stove God, and Cheng Peixin has not worshiped the Stove God...etc. Zhao Pup once begged himself to include him in the memorial tablet of his ancestor in Ranshan. It seemed that he could be enshrined in his tablet and he could be invited to do so.

There must be some other reason that made Cheng Peixin know that Zhao Puppet was dead, and for another reason, she gave him an offering.

Li Wuxiang felt that at this time, he responded to the sentence: After hunting geese for a lifetime, he was blinded by the geese. After coming to this world, I had always been the only one who used information to deceive others, but now I was deceived. I was deceived twice by the same method - the last time it was Zhao Xi, this time it was Cheng Peixin.

Is this considered meeting an opponent and meeting a good talent? But now, he doesn't have any sympathy in his heart - Zhao Puppet is a big scourge, he must be eradicated, immediately, immediately, the sooner the better!

He was going to call for the external evil. In this situation, the external evil could not guarantee that he would die like a cocoon. He felt that there should be some other way to escape - otherwise, a land sword fairy who was tricked in would be roasted alive like this?

But just when he was about to open his mouth, the voice came again - "Please beg me, quickly, beg me, beg me, I will help you!"

After the first day, the evil ghosts no longer disguised themselves as Guo Jianming, but completely exposed their true colors, coaxing him to pay attention.

Some threatened viciously, some told how pitiful they were in a sad and gentle way, and some, like this voice, directly asked him to "beg it" - this should be able to gain more wish power.

Before, this voice was mixed with many other voices, and Li Wuxiang could hear it, but he didn't care, just thinking it was a ghost talking nonsense.

But now he heard this voice again, and suddenly froze -

"I will help you"?

From the first day he entered the mirror, he never mentioned that he was in trouble, but said that he came to save Guo Jianming. Because the mirror broke the next day and he couldn't get out, he just said that he had to think about some things.

"I will help you", where did this come from?

Since he had just planned to ask the evil spirit for help, Li Wuxiang decided to start taking risks. He immediately answered the voice: "Who are you? How can you help me?"

The voices that were still whispering around him stopped immediately, and then he felt that many things that had been around him for these days were flying away rapidly, as if they had lost interest in him the moment he answered the voice.

Then he felt a slight sinking on his body, as if something had climbed onto his back - Li Wuxiang immediately let the flying sword circle around him, and at the same time immediately touched his back, but he didn't touch anything.

But he felt that kind of weight, very light, as if he had a very tight piece of clothing wrapped around his back, tightly fitting, entwined with his limbs, against his neck and back of his head, and he couldn't get rid of it.

According to this feeling... there should be a human figure on his back.

Then, his back also experienced a sticky and slightly rough touch, like... skinned flesh and blood mixed with a lot of sand and stones.

Li Wuxiang retracted the flying sword and slowly straightened his body.

He stood there in silence for a moment, sighed, and laughed again.

"Are all the people in Ranshan so hard to die? Now, should I call you Master, or should you call me Sect Master?"

I suddenly felt that Li Wuxiang might be the kind of young man who yearned for a petty bourgeoisie life after work in his previous life. Because I found that he liked to say things like "I am currently stationed in Deyang" and "I am currently stationed in Feiyun Temple". Is this "stationed" equivalent to the popular tune of "I am currently based in Shanghai" in the past two years?
