Seeing that my expression was becoming increasingly stern, the mysterious senior asked, "How is it?"
I shook my head and said, "I have used the divine map to sense that the Taotie beast was seriously injured. It seems that the guy who entered the Shuiyue Cold Pond is very powerful."
The mysterious senior pondered for a moment but remained silent.
But I know that it is useless for us to think so much now. Even if we turn back now, it is difficult to get out. We can only find the ancient Bodhi tree first.
"Senior, let's go. Let's keep going towards the sound of water. We can only deal with the guy outside after we get out!"
After that, we continued searching in the direction of the "splashing" sound of water.
Getting closer! I can feel it.
Suddenly, an ice-blue light curtain appeared in front of us, and the image of the Paradise Tree was reflected in the light curtain. The Paradise Tree grew on a narrow circular island, and the island was surrounded by ice-blue water.
There is a narrow waterfall upstream of the island, with water cascading down with a loud sound.
Deep blue water vapor rises from the lake, just like a hot spring.
"It's the paradise tree!" I exclaimed.
But the mysterious elder's expression became serious. He said solemnly, "Look over there. There is a person lying there. It should be the female corpse that the fairy beast Fengque mentioned."
Following the reminder from the mysterious senior, I looked over and, sure enough, found a white jade bed on a reef not far from the island.
There was a female corpse lying on the white jade bed, but the body of the female corpse was entangled with blue water vapor.
We couldn't see her clearly.
I reached out and lightly touched the light curtain, and there was a strong current that suddenly appeared. The current struck my palm, and I felt numb immediately.
I quickly retracted my hand.
Subconsciously, I wanted to use my spiritual energy to resist the electric current.
But just as the spiritual energy rose, an extremely powerful pressure descended upon me, almost crushing me into a piece of paper.
"Don't stimulate the spiritual energy, collect it quickly." The mysterious senior reminded.
I was a little flustered and quickly put away my spiritual energy.
In an instant, the powerful pressure disappeared out of thin air.
"Damn it, if I'm not allowed to release my strength, how can I get inside the light curtain? The Paradise Tree is right inside, just separated by a layer of light curtain. Isn't this irritating me?"
I said with some complaint.
The mysterious senior remained silent, as if he had thought of something, his eyes fixed on the female corpse in the white jade box.
"Is it her?... No, it's impossible. She has already gone back. How could she come back? Impossible!" The mysterious senior muttered to himself.
I was a little confused, so I turned my head and asked, "Senior, what did you say?"
The mysterious senior regained his composure and said with a wry smile: "Nothing, nothing."
But I could clearly feel the panic in his thoughts.
Just at this moment, a voice suddenly came from inside the light curtain.
In other words, it came from the mouth of the female corpse.
"I know why you are here. It is for the Paradise Tree in the upper world. In this case, you should follow my instructions and answer my three questions. If you answer correctly, I can let you go. If you answer incorrectly, you may die in the Water Moon Cold Pond."
The voice seemed very vague, and there was no ups and downs in it.
At the same time, without waiting for me and the mysterious senior to answer, a powerful beam of light suddenly appeared above our heads.
When the beam of light shone on me, it immediately bound my body.
It felt like I was stuck between two big rocks.
I felt a tightness in my chest.
but
Very quickly, the scene in front of my eyes changed and I appeared in another space.
Damn it, I thought to myself, this must be some kind of magic, otherwise it wouldn’t be so powerful.
That space was gray and there was nothing there.
I shouted anxiously, "Where is this place? Female corpse, what do you want to do?"
After shouting a few times, there was finally a response. A vague shadow appeared in front of me.
The shadow has long hair and breasts, so it should be a woman.
But I have no idea what the woman looked like, because her face was shrouded in blue mist, and I couldn't see her features clearly.
The most important thing is that I know that this is not her physical body, but an energy body formed using fairy magic.
The shadow said to me: "I will ask you three questions. You need to answer them carefully. If you answer them correctly, I will send you away and give you the fruit of bliss."
I had no choice but to grit my teeth and agree: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
I felt like I was being manipulated by someone else, as if the shadow would kill me immediately if I had any other ideas.
Shadow's indifferent voice came: "The first question is, have you ever loved someone?"
I'm a little confused. How can this question be so simple
How could the shadow woman ask such a stupid question? This is totally incomprehensible.
I couldn't help but hesitate. Of course I had loved her. I loved my parents and my current girlfriend, Sun Xiaoli. But the question of the shadow woman might not be that simple. If I said I had loved her, would she persecute me
Maybe, this shadow woman is a woman who has failed in love. No, it is a female corpse.
Just as I was thinking about it, the shadow woman spoke again: "Answer with your heart. I don't want to hear lies. If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you directly without holding back."
Damn it, this is my ultimatum.
Well, I can only tell the truth.
I said, “I loved it!”
I only answered with two words. I didn't dare to answer more than that. I was afraid that if I said more, I would make more mistakes and get into more trouble.
The shadow woman hesitated for a moment, then spoke again: "Second question, does the person you loved really love you?"
You're paralyzed!
What kind of bullshit question is this? How do I know if the person I love really loves me? How can I explain this clearly? Sometimes, when someone says they love you, it doesn't necessarily mean they really love you. But sometimes, when someone says they don't love you, it doesn't mean they don't love you.
It is hard to figure out a woman's heart, especially the heart of this shadow woman in front of me.
The two questions she asked were completely meaningless. How could I answer them
Love or not love? Who can tell clearly
After thinking about it, I answered according to my heart: "I'm sorry, I don't know if the person I love loves me. No one can answer your question."
The shadow woman was silent for a few minutes, then she spoke again: "Third question, if one day the person you love is separated from you by heaven and earth, what will you do?"
Are heaven and earth separated
What she meant was that I was separated from the person I loved, or that the person I loved died, but I was still alive. That should be what she meant. But the scope of this question is quite broad, and it seems that no matter how you answer it, it won’t be wrong.
I thought about it and answered according to my heart, saying: "If I am separated from the person I love and she is still alive and she loves me, I will find her, but if she doesn't love me, there is no need. She should go and find her own happiness."
"And if the person I love and I are separated by the Yin and Yang, I can only keep a place for her in my heart so that I can remember her. Because humans are so insignificant, there are only a few things we can do."
Answer this
When I was thinking about this question, I thought of my ex-girlfriend Huang Susu. We were separated by the Yin and Yang. Her soul was torn apart for me. I am sure she loved me. If she didn't love me, it would be impossible.
I have answered these three questions and am waiting for the shadow woman's response.
A few minutes later, the shadow woman's voice came: "Very good, you are answering according to your heart."
When I heard this, I was overjoyed. So I answered these three questions correctly.
I hurriedly asked, "Senior Female Corpse, so, can I get the Bliss Fruit and leave here?"
But the next moment, the shadow woman poured cold water on me.
She said in a deep voice: "You didn't answer any of the three questions correctly, so you won't get the Fruit of Bliss."
What? How could this be? These three questions are very broad to answer, how come I can't answer them correctly
If I didn't get it right, what would the correct answer be
I frowned tightly, completely stunned.
I feel that this female figure, that is, the energy body of the female corpse, is deliberately playing tricks on me.
"Senior Female Corpse, what do you mean? Since you already want to kill me, why ask me such a stupid question!?"
I was really angry. This guy was clearly making a fool of me.
The shadow woman said calmly, "My questions may be stupid to you, but to me, these three questions are very important. Outsider, since your answers are all wrong, I can't let you go easily. However, you answered according to your heart, so I can give you a chance."
"Chance? What chance?"
The shadow woman said, "A chance to live."
After saying this, the shadow woman disappeared.
Then the space I was in changed dramatically.
Everything went dark before my eyes, and then when I opened my eyes, I found that I was surrounded by lush trees.
But those trees are in strange shapes, like snakes.
Instead of growing taller, they grow outward.
I can feel a strong wood element in it.
At the same time, I found that after the spiritual energy in my body was circulated, it was no longer affected by that huge oppressive force.
Before I knew what was happening, my body was already falling downwards.
Busily, he used his spiritual energy to make his body float.
But what I didn't expect was that just as I had stabilized my body, the branches and leaves of the trees crawling up on the ground all shot towards me.
Many parts of the tree are covered with sharp thorns, which look extremely scary.
I even found pieces of bones appearing among the trees on the ground of this mysterious space.
Judging from the shape of the bones, they are all human bones.
Some of the bones turned dark gold, indicating that they were monks in the tribulation period.
Oh my god, what on earth is this place? My mind is in a mess.
But the branches were already coming towards me.
I quickly took out the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword, injected spiritual energy into it, and began to resist those branches.
However, those branches were very hard, and it took several hits of the sword to cut them off.
I thought of what Fengque told me, that when she was at Shuiyue Hantan, after answering the questions, she was thrown into a sea of fire. If it weren't for her Phoenix bloodline, she would have died.
That sea of fire must be filled with fire elements.
Here are all strange plants growing prone, all of them are wood elements.
In an instant, I seemed to understand something. There was a five-element formation hidden in this barrier light film!
The Five Elements Formation is the top-level formation of immortals.
What the hell, what am I supposed to do? Am I just going to die here?!
