Mysterious World, I Have Special Understanding

That man was wearing a blue taoist robe, black boots, and a beard that reached almost to the abdomen. Who was it but Dan Lingzi?

Yes, a new Dan Lingzi came to the dead Dan Lingzi.

Except that one is dead and the other is alive, there is almost no difference between the two, even the pale complexion is the same.

It can be said that the same mold was carved out of the same material and technique without any difference.

Suddenly, Dan Lingzi looked around warily, and Ji Que and Ning Hongyu couldn't help lowering their postures even lower.

Did he sense something from the dead Dan Lingzi, and thought there was someone nearby?

But after that, the living Dan Lingzi didn't continue to check.

He started digging graves, and the living Dan Lingzi began to dig graves for the dead Dan Lingzi.

This is a very absurd and terrifying scene, but it just happened like this.

The dead Dan Lingzi quickly fell into the ground, and a stone tablet was erected, with the words "Dan Lingzi Chen Yuzhi's Tomb" engraved on it.

Ever since, there was another grave for Dan Lingzi.

Looking at the words on the new tombstone, Ji Que understood one thing.

No wonder the words on these tombstones are almost the same, it turned out that they were carved by Dan Lingzi for himself.

But is the Dan Lingzi in front of you still a Dan Lingzi?

Where is he from?

Things are getting worse and worse.

The newcomer Dan Lingzi stood in front of the grave for a while, then walked towards the single-plank bridge with the extinguished oil lamp in his arms.

Is he going to take a long view?

Ning Hongyu winked at Ji Que and made a gesture, indicating that he was going to follow this Dan Lingzi, while he continued to check the situation around here.

Yes, they not only need to continue to follow the Pill Spirit, but also know where the Pill Spirit came from.

After that, she gave Ji Que a small bamboo pouch.

There is a small bee in the bamboo pouch, Ji Que knows it without thinking, it is used to find her.

The little bee inside should be able to smell Ning Hongyu's body.

After that, the two soldiers split into two groups, one followed Dan Lingzi, while the other walked deeper into the wild grass.

The direction Ji Que was walking in was exactly the direction the new Dan Lingzi came from.

The further you go in, the more lush the surrounding grass is, and there are still graves scattered around.

There are many alchemy seeds buried here.

Ji Que didn't know how far he had gone. There were no "coordinates" to refer to except the grass and graves.

But he could feel that there were fewer graves around than before.

The air is filled with the earthy smell of soil, and the nearby soil has become a lot damper visible to the naked eye, and clear footprints will be left when stepping on it.

At the same time, the weeds became more lush, and some of the tombs were covered.

So Ji Que stood on the top of a grave and looked around.

The grass here is deep, and it is difficult to see the whole picture of the surrounding area, so he can only stand on the top of each grave and carefully observe the abnormalities around him.

Finally, he found something.

Standing on this grave, the naked eye can see that there is a spot of wild grass that is much shallower, as if it was suppressed by something.

Ji Que walked over and saw a tripod.

The surface of the stone tripod is engraved with complex textures, and those textures look like wrinkles on the faces of old people, and also like some kind of strange runes.

Yes, this is very similar to the stone tripod in the underground Ken cave in Changxu Temple.

Ji Que didn't remember the details of the previous stone tripod, he tended to think that they were exactly the same.

Dan Lingzi is likely to come out from here.

He and Ning Hongyu had guessed before that the big-bellied elk that was used to feed Chen Li probably grew out of that ancient stone cauldron, so the elixir might also grow out of this cauldron.

From the first time he saw this kind of tripod, Ji Que felt evil, as if he saw something hidden in the ancient years that humans should not touch.

If the underground stone tripod made him feel uncomfortable before, then this tripod feels even worse.

Because it's about people.

All around these walking graves are dead Dan Lingzi.

Just thinking about the picture of countless pill spirits emerging from this cauldron makes one's scalp tingle.

After finding the tripod, Ji Que quickly chased after Ning Hongyu.

The scattered weeds, the tombstones of different styles, and the almost identical corpses buried inside, always make people feel strange.

Relying on the little bee, Ji Que found Ning Hongyu.

She was nestling in a tree, while Dan Lingzi in front was busy doing something in the woods.

After climbing the tree, Ning Hongyu couldn't help saying with her lips, "He's a little wary."

Ji Que gestured with his mouth: "I saw a tripod."

After some communication, Ning Hongyu understood what Ji Que meant.

Two ancient stone cauldrons that look alike, maybe even exactly the same, can grow elk and pill spirit seeds with big bellies.

Dan Lingzi feeds on these elks every day, or sacrifices to Chen Li, and repeats this every day without end.

They feel right these days, everything here seems to be repeating itself.

"What the hell is Chen Li, the pill that came out of the cauldron?" Ji Que asked in confusion.

Ning Hongyu said: "Then we have to think about it, why does Dan Lingzi do the same thing every day?"

Ji Que thought about it and said, "Making food for the master is actually more like a kind of sacrifice. What the dead Dan Lingzi did, the new Dan Lingzi will always do it again, repeating everything before."

"The thing coming out of these two tripods is trying to trap Chen Li, or maintain this situation?"

They could clearly feel that if Chen Li didn't eat the deer at that time every day, he would become irritable and terrifying.

This kind of feeling reminded Ji Que of the patients in the mental hospital. Sometimes they need to be coaxed by doctors to take medicine to stay normal.

It can only be seen that Dan Lingzi is very afraid of Chen Li, as if Chen Li loses control, something terrible will happen.

At this time, Dan Lingzi was farther away from them, but Ji Que and Ning Hongyu knew that no matter how long he stayed here, he would always rush back to Changxu Temple before dark.

Ning Hongyu said with her lips: "Those two tripods reminded me of a legend."

"legend?"

Because of the ginseng fruit tree, some time ago Ning Hongyu checked a lot of related files, which contained many deeds of Taoist gods.

What Ning Hongyu said was a story about an old man who made a man.

In the legends and stories in the world, people tend to believe that all living things in the world are made of mud and water by gods, such as the most famous Nuwa who made man.

However, the human beings made of mud and water by Gu Zun and Goddess Nuwa are not perfect. They have a limited lifespan and are prone to injury and premature death.

Because of the potential of human beings, the gods of Taoism have never stopped studying human beings. In other words, they have been devoting themselves to fabricating more perfect human beings for a long time, and the Taishang Laojun is the representative of them.

As a very ancient god, Laojun is very close to Nuwa, an ancient Taoist deity.

It is said that for a period of time, whether it was the earth or the wilderness, the old man was not satisfied with the human beings created by the ancient goddess Nuwa, thinking that they were too fragile to determine the direction of the world.

So he has been trying to create a more perfect human being.

In that fairy tale, Laojun made various attempts.

Laojun is good at alchemy, so he made various elixirs for people to swallow. As a result, some humans have become longer-lived, some have become infinitely stronger, some have become as tall as a tower, and some have undergone changes. To bring disaster to the world and turn into evil spirits.

It can be said that Laojun's alchemy did not achieve his vision. He believed that those people were always created by Nuwa.

"Using a cauldron to give birth to a man" is one of Laojun's attempts.

It is said that Laojun searched all over the world and found the creation of Yangsui God in the wilderness, a very strange kind of soil.

The so-called "Yangsui" means "to draw fire from the sun", and the God of Yangsui is an existence older than the ancient god Nuwa.

That kind of Yangsui god's creation, that is, that kind of weird soil, is called "Tai Sui" by Laojun.

Tai Sui is a kind of soil, a kind of soil with a long life.

Based on Tai Sui and supplemented by his life skills, Laojun created hundreds of cauldrons.

These cauldrons are called "Taisui Ding".

It is said that these cauldrons almost exhausted Laojun's efforts.

There are hundreds of Taisui tripods, all made of Taisui soil, and all of them are used to create humans, but the effects are not consistent.

Some people created by Taisui Ding have three heads and six arms, and the three heads argue endlessly, and finally die of madness; The created people are smart, long-lived, and good at cultivation, which is in line with Laojun's requirements for people, but they are prone to hysteria and make horrible acts of cannibalism and devouring gods.

It can be said that the people created by Tai Sui Ding are all kinds of strange things, some are born much stronger than human beings, and will become stronger and stronger, but they also have big and small disadvantages.

In short, Tai Sui Ding can be said to be Laojun's many attempts to create human beings, but they are undoubtedly not successful.

Later, Laojun, who had exhausted his efforts, knew that it was not easy to create a human being, so he gradually shelved his original plan.

In that dossier, it described the process and results of Laojun's creation of man, but did not describe the whereabouts of Tai Sui Ding.

Ji Que couldn't help but said: "So you suspect that what we saw was Tai Sui Ding?"

After thinking about it carefully, those two tripods were indeed very similar to the Taisui tripod that Ning Hongyu described.

He always feels that those textures are not only the wrinkles on the old man's face, but also some kind of ancient runes, presumably because Tai Sui is the soil with longevity, and those runes are the handwriting of Laojun?

"Those two tripods belonged to the legendary Laojun, so who would put the two tripods here?"

A god like Taishang Laojun can be said to be the originator of the gods, and the person who can find and use his things is absolutely extraordinary.

Ning Hongyu pondered and said, "That's naturally a master of Taoism, I even think it's a Taoist god."

After all, the Taisui tripod is the creation of the originator of the gods. It is a bit foolish for mortals to use it, but only the gods of Taoism, the gods who have mastered some supernatural powers of Laojun.

"Immortal, the game set up by the immortal to deal with Li Li?"

Thinking of this, Ji Que only felt as if he was in a dark ocean, and there were some huge creatures swimming around, but he couldn't see clearly.

Because it can be seen that the existence of these two tripods is to continuously give birth to new pills and elks, and the meaning of the existence of the two seems to be to appease Chen Li and let him stay in Chang'an day after day. In the virtual view.

Ji Que couldn't help but recall Na Dan Lingzi's dignified expression and the warning he gave them when he and Lin Xiangzhi came here for the first time.

Don't come back here and forget about it all.

He thought it was extremely weird at the time, but now that he thought about it carefully, the reason why Dan Lingzi was so tense and dignified must be because he was worried that their appearance would change the balance here and make Chen Li lose control.

It's as if psychopaths are better off not being stimulated by the outside world.

But now the thing that makes his back chill is, if Chen Li is an evil spirit, then he is an evil spirit that even a Taoist god can't do anything about?

The Taoist gods could only use two Taisui tripods to set up a game, and kept making Dan Lingzi and the elk sacrifice to Chen Li, keeping him trapped in this game.

Yes, if the Taoist gods could kill Chen Li directly, they would definitely not use such troublesome, even cautious methods.

And is Chen Li really evil?

From the time he devoured that elk, he would indeed become very scary, and sentences like "laojun", "immortal", and "photographer" would come out of his mouth from time to time, as if he was really communicating with those immortals What.

Could it be that Chen Li is also a fairy, just fighting another fairy.

The immortal might have defeated him, but he couldn't kill him, so he could only trap him in this way.

However, even if Chen Li is a god, just the temperament he exudes is definitely not good.

Ji Que told Ning Hongyu his thoughts, and Ning Hongyu also fell silent.

At this time, Ning Hongyu suddenly called him down.

They came to the vicinity of the single-plank bridge.

There are luxuriant weeds and dense bushes, and there is nothing unusual in Ji Que's eyes.

Ning Hongyu pointed to a small withered tree and said, "When I passed by here last night, I made two marks on this withered tree."

Ji Que looked over and found that there was nothing there.

"you mean?"

Ning Hongyu raised his head, looked at the wild forest, and the direction of Changxu Temple not far away, and said, "This Changxu Temple and this forest are alive."

"Um?"

"People can heal when they are injured, and so can this forest. I have looked carefully, and all the traces we may have left last night have disappeared." Ning Hongyu said seriously.

Hearing this, a feeling of fear suddenly surrounded Ji Que like water.

He suddenly remembered a detail, that is, when they returned to the mezzanine from the hole yesterday, he didn't seem to see any traces of dragging on the mezzanine.

The mezzanine was originally covered with dust, he and Ning Hongyu climbed in once, and there would always be traces.

But when I went back yesterday, it didn't seem to be there. Did this just prove what Ning Hongyu said.

He couldn't help but think of the feelings he'd had before—they were the only change here.

And the people who used those two tripods obviously didn't want any changes here.

Because it's not just Chen Li who has a problem, but the entire Changxu Temple, and even this forest.

Whether it was Chen Li or the things that appeared in the woods last night, once they left here, it would be a terrible thing.

Both Ji Que and Ning Hongyu are quite bold people, but at this moment they couldn't help being a little scared.

This feeling is like you were happily going to the pool for a swim, but suddenly encountered a shark, it is absurd and terrifying.

One must know that Ji Que's original purpose of coming here was just to inquire about the news of the ginseng fruit tree.

Even if they came this time, they just wanted to see the weirdness of this Taoist temple and make sure whether what Chen Li said was worth referring to.

But

Ji Que couldn't help but think of Chen Laoshi's words, the water here is probably very deep.

Deep enough to drown.

So he and Ning Hongyu quickly made a decision, and that was "Run".

This is indeed not an existence that they can easily get their hands on now.

It was a cloudy day, and the sky and the earth were dark. Before leaving, the two climbed up a tree.

Standing on the tree, they couldn't see the mottled red wall of Changxu Temple, but they could see Dan Lingzi walking alone.

The direction he went was exactly the direction of Changxuguan.

Ji Que only felt a kind of heaviness.

He thought of fate.

Dan Lingzi went there every day, comforted Chen Li, and then left in the night, died in the wild grass, and was replaced by a new Dan Lingzi, repeating all this, like a mayfly that lives and dies.

This is the fate of Dan Lingzi.

And what about their fate?

Should I stay away from it all, as if I have never been here, or can I do something?

Over the past few days, they found that Dan Lingzi didn't return to the Taoist temple at the same time every time, especially yesterday, when Chen Li was so irritable that he almost went crazy, he didn't come back.

Does this mean that the balance here is not eternal.

And once this situation is broken, what the world will face is a Chen Li who doesn't know what kind of changes will happen, and those terrifying things in the forest last night.

Ji Que and Ning Hongyu left there.

The voyeurism these past few days allowed them to see a corner of the secret, and they only felt that it was as absurd and terrifying as a dream.

"I'm really too weak."

Ji Que couldn't help thinking.

This time, there is no self-effacing, but sincere.

If he was strong enough, strong enough to crush Chen Li and everything else to death, there would be no worries about this.

"Ji Que, I want you to help me practice."

"Shangfeng, I want you to help me practice."

Suddenly, Ji Que and Ning Hongyu said in unison.
