As Shen Shu opened his mouth, the scarlet color in his eyes faded in an instant, back to the usual black like ink jade.
Through the connection between his own spiritual sense and the afterglow sword, Ye Yunlan affirmed that the person in front of him was not an illusion, but that he entered the secret realm and found his current apprentice.
His complexion was constantly changing between pale and red, and after a while, he finally said in a cold voice: "I think you have been wrong for the past few years to make you retreat... Shen Shu, are you serious? Remember that I am your master?"
While speaking, he pulled the wound above his lips that was bitten by Shen Shu, frowning in pain.
Fingers smeared? A trace of bright red blood remained on the fingertips.
Ye Yunlan looked at the blood on his fingertips and his expression became colder.
He restrained himself in the illusion, unwilling to indulge in indulgence, and after all, nothing absurd happened to the people in the illusion, but Shen Shu was big-hearted, and when he caught him Crimson, clearly almost enchanted.
If he was really an illusion, Shen Shu knew that he would be included in the urn, sink deeper and deeper into the illusion, and then it would be difficult to break free
Really... It's really unsatisfactory.
He seemed to want to say something to scold, but he was really lacking in language, and finally he just scolded in a low voice, "I didn't know that the apprentice I hired turned out to be a dog."
Shen Shu was slapped by him, and then scolded in the face. His face was stunned at first, but he didn't show any effort. Instead, he changed to the appearance of honestly admitting his mistake.
"Just now, I lost control. I encountered too many illusions. I mistaken the master for a while. Don't be angry."
He apologized with his mouth, but his eyes did not blink at Ye Yunlan for a moment.
The pale and thin lips of the person in front of him were smeared with blood, which was almost the same color as the wedding dress on his body. Against his black hair and white skin, it was as rich and colorful as white paper dyed ink.
His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and a touch of interest lingered in the bottom of his eyes.
Ye Yunlan didn't notice his change, she just snorted coldly, wiped the blood on her fingertips and lips with the hem of her sleeves, and walked back while holding the sword.
The Netherworld is dangerous, and now is not the time to be angry with Shen Shu. Besides, it will be meaningless to worry about it with Shen Shu when everything is over.
"Master is going? Where?"
Shen Shu quickly followed, as if what happened just now had never happened, and asked eagerly.
"Go? Find the key to breaking the illusion." Ye Yunlan paused and asked coldly, "You came from the gray fog, what did you find?"
It is true that a lot of monsters that should not belong to this place have been discovered... and they have also "eaten" a lot...
Or, in fact, he himself is one of these monsters.
Shen Shu thought about it, and replied: "No big discovery. I realized that I was in an illusion in a wooden house, and then I walked all the way, and I couldn't see other people, but , I encountered quite a few monsters that attacked me in the gray fog. They seem to be resentful spirits, and they seem to be others. However, they are not my opponents, um... Those who dared to attack me have already been taken by me The afterglow sword has been wiped out."
Ye Yunlan stopped, "... Resentful spirit?"
"Well..." Shen Shu replied casually, "Maybe it's more than just resentful spirits. There is an even more evil aura on them, dirty, filthy, unclean... disgusting."
He said that, stopped behind Ye Yunlan, leaned over, lowered his head and approached Ye Yunlan's shoulder, sniffed his nose, and said with a smile, "The reason why I misunderstood Master is an illusion is because I am in Master's body. ? Up, I felt that kind of breath."
He stretched out his hand to cover Ye Yunlan's shoulder, "It's here."
Shen Shu held the exact spot where he was injured in the illusion before, and that place was already aching, but when Shen Shu touched it, it was even more painful.
Ye Yunlan frowned slightly, and just said, "What do you want to do..." Then, he saw a black air emerge from his shoulder.
A monster with an indistinct shape and distortion appeared in front of his eyes, and it looked like a black living creature struggling and screaming with deformed limbs, and then saw an extremely sharp sword light passing by, this monster let out a very sharp and ear-piercing scream, Then it was crushed into the air.
At the same time, Ye Yunlan felt that his body was much more relaxed, and the injury on his shoulder no longer hurt.
Shen Shu said: "I've encountered this kind of monster before, it's good at hiding beside people, and transforming into the person expected in the human heart to confuse people. However, compared with other monsters in the gray fog that will take the initiative to attack people, ?, this kind of thing is quite easy to deal with."
He noticed that Ye Yunlan looked silent at the place where the monster dissipated, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked without concealing his doubts.
"I'm a little curious, who is the person who transformed this monster in the master's mind?"
Ye Yunlan didn't answer.
The two were silent for a while, then Ye Yunlan suddenly spoke up and said, "You said? You feel the aura of this kind of thing, evil, dirty, filthy, unclean, right?"
Shen Shu looked at his profile, smiled slowly, and said.
"Yes."
"They look disgusting too, don't they?"
The monsters in the Demon Abyss are so disgusting.
Shen Shu thought.
If he showed his aura himself, he might be thousands of times more disgusting than these monsters. I'm afraid this person should stay away immediately when he sees it.
Ye Yunlan didn't know what he was thinking, so he just absentmindedly said "um" and continued to walk forward.
His ankle was accidentally twisted when he was escaping, and he was a little staggered when walking, but he didn't stop to deal with the injury in a safe place in the illusion. Shen Shu noticed the situation and walked up to him and said: " I'll help you, Master."
Ye Yunlan shook his head and said: "No need. Pay attention to your surroundings. I am different from you. I just walked into the illusion and I am sober, so I know that I have not gone far. If this is an illusion formation, the entrance is with The exit? It should be the same place, not far from here."
Shen Shu was a little curious, "How did Shizun enter this illusion before?"
Ye Yunlan said: "A small road. The road leading to these houses."
While talking, they stopped in front of several black-tiled and white-walled houses.
The pale moonlight shone quietly, Ye Yunlan closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then he figured out the direction of the universe and the eight trigrams, and pointed at the boundary of the gray fog, right? Shen Shu said: "You follow this direction, Take ten steps forward, and if you are in danger, withdraw immediately. Tell me what you will see."
Shen Shu did as he was told, and turned back from the gray fog after a while, right? He shook his head and said, "The front is still fog, with no end."
Ye Yunlan frowned slightly. His memory could not be wrong, this position was where he walked along the path in the sea of flowers on the other side.
That's a matter of spiritual awareness, or perception.
They wandered around the house for a while, but did not find a way out of the illusion, Ye Yunlan felt a little puzzled.
It stands to reason that even if part of his vision and perception are deceived, causing him to misunderstand the direction, the exit of the illusion will not be too far away from here.
Shen Shu suddenly said, "Maybe it's in the room."
Hearing this, Ye Yunlan suddenly felt a little stunned. Indeed, they have searched all over the place, but have not found an exit, and now the only place left is the house.
What I saw and heard in the fantasy world cannot be seen with common sense. All distortions and truths and falsehoods are not necessarily what people think. Ye Yunlan thought of the mirrors and paper figures he had seen before, and there was something vague about it. idea.
The first thing they went to check was the room Ye Yunlan entered at the beginning, the window was still open, it was dark inside, and there were no candles, Shen Shu walked in and took a look, and said, "Inside No one, but the door is open, and I can't see what's inside."
"Want to go in? Master?"
Ye Yunlan also walked to the window, and the churning darkness inside had disappeared, including the person who only existed in his memory.
The dressing mirror table was empty, and the bronze mirror reflected them outside the window sill, and the pale moonlight hanging high behind them.
The door on one side was wide open, and it was dark and deep inside. Shen Shu couldn't see clearly with his eyesight. With him, he felt even more blurry and indescribable.
Ye Yunlan was silent for a while, and said, "Go in?"
This time, he wanted to turn over and enter the window sill first, but when his sprained ankle fell to the ground, he was not stable. Flying in, reaching out to support him.
Ye Yunlan stabilized and was about to speak when Shen Shu half-forced to support him on the makeup stool in front of the makeup mirror, took off his shoes for him, and stretched out his hand to cover his slender body Pale ankle, infuse spiritual power into it to heal his wounds.
There was a faint wind blowing in the darkness of the opened door. Ye Yunlan, who had his back to the mirror, was still miserable. At first, he was horrified by looking at the paper figurine in the mirror. One of his front feet, one wrapped around his ankle, was swollen and bruised.
Spiritual energy surged into it, and he felt the warmth.
Ye Yunlan's fingers slowly grasped the edge of the makeup stool, and he said in a low voice, "It's very unsafe here..."
Shen Shu kept moving his hands and smiled casually.
"It's alright. Anyone who wants to hurt you will step on my body first."
This sentence…
Ye Yunlan's pupils contracted slightly.
This sentence, the Demon Venerable also said to him at the beginning.
Ye Yunlan turned his head and stared straight at the darkness outside the door, as if ghosts and monsters would appear in the darkness at any time, and it seemed that a flower was about to be seen from the darkness.
"All right."
Shen Shu said yes, put on shoes and socks for him, stood up, but his eyes remained on the pair of red embroidered shoes on the other's feet for a moment. I thought to myself, Ye Yunlan's feet are really born? They are more delicate than women, and they really match these embroidered shoes.
He has always had no interest in human skins, but he never thought that he would one day fall in love with human feet.
He poked at the snow-white Nascent Soul in the Xinfu, and with a thought, he changed the other party's clothes into Ye Yunlan's suit.
Ye Yunlan stood up, the pain in his ankle had disappeared, he pursed his lips, and walked towards the door without saying anything.
As if remembering something again, he stopped, turned around, and unsheathed the Shadowless Sword in his hand.
Shen Shu didn't move.
The long sword glowing with cold light brushed past him. Even if the sword user had no spiritual power, the cold murderous aura still made people fall into purgatory.
Shen Shu didn't know how Ye Yunlan condensed the sword intent of death and silence, and the color of interest in the bottom of his eyes was even stronger.
He didn't move, as if he didn't think Ye Yunlan would hurt him at all.
He heard a cracking sound of "crashing", and beside Shen Shu, the bronze mirror on the makeup mirror table was split in half by the sword light, fell to the ground, and shattered into countless mirrors.
The surrounding environment was still gloomy, and the happy clothes on Ye Yunlan's body turned into scraps of paper, and then changed back to the appearance of white clothes at the beginning.
Ye Yunlan looked sideways? She glanced at the pale moonlight outside the window, pondered for a moment, then turned around and walked into the darkness outside the room.
Shen Shu followed him into it.
The cold wind blew by his side, and the lamentations and prayers of the deceased seemed to sound faintly in his ears.
Shen Shu walked in parallel with Ye Yunlan, and suddenly said.
"Shizun's sword just now, is it warning me?"
