"Wait, don't worry. Let's calm down and think about it first." Seeing that both of them started to panic, I quickly said, "Maybe Liang Kaifeng couldn't find his way back because of this situation. The top priority now is to find Liang Kaifeng."
"It's easy to say, but it's not that simple." Shi Yitong muttered, "Maybe even the few of us will be trapped here together."
Su Xiaoyun shuddered, and looked up at the sky, "It's getting dark now, and we haven't prepared anything. If we can't get out... it will be troublesome if there are wolves at night."
Immediately, the team of three fell into a state of depression.
At this moment, a shrill voice said.
"Oh, I know! You human beings are too unreliable, you should take care of me!"
This sound did not come from anywhere else, it was from the backpack on my back!
I was startled, and quickly opened the zipper of the backpack, and a white, fluffy head came out of it.
"You really lost your way, right? Humans can get lost even in a forest the size of a palm. No wonder Wen Jiubai insisted on following me!"
"Bai!" I was taken aback, "When did you follow?"
"Ferret! Isn't this the ferret that Gu Yu raised?" Su Xiaoyun covered her mouth in surprise, "And, can she talk?"
"A rare human girl, this uncle is not an ordinary ferret." Bai waved his paws with an expression of not caring about humans, and jumped on my shoulder, "Of course I followed from the beginning, you guys I also stole a few skewers of barbecue during dinner. How about it, my stealth skills are very good!"
"It turns out that you are the one who stole Liang Kaifeng's meat skewers!" Shi Yitong pointed at Bai angrily and said, "Damn it, do you know how much trouble you have made for us, weasel!"
"What? How many times have I said it, I'm not a weasel!" Bai gritted his teeth at Shi Yitong.
"Okay, okay." I interrupted one person and one mouse with a headache, "What time is it, and you still have the energy to quarrel. The focus now should be how to find Liang Kaifeng and how to get out of this forest, right?"
I picked him up by the fur around Bai's neck with my hand, "Instead of looking for trouble with us here, why don't you help us think about what to do in this situation."
"Oh, I got it, I got it." Bai struggled under my hand, "Aren't you just looking for that naughty kid? Let me go, I already remember his smell. He must Right in this forest."
With that said, I put Bai down. This nimble ferret jumped in front of us immediately, "Let's go, I'll show you the way."
The ferrets ran ahead and we followed. Sure enough, when we followed the scent to find the white belt road, we never saw the same scene again. However, the forest is getting deeper and deeper, and with the fall of night, the visibility around is getting lower and lower, and there is a gloomy wind blowing from time to time, making it eerie.
"Before we came in, we didn't think this place was so big." Su Xiaoyun muttered, "The entire Yanjin Mountain is not very big. Logically speaking, with the way we walk, we should have walked down the mountain long ago."
"It's different, the forest we're walking in should be sealed by an enchantment." Bai said as he walked.
"Boundary?" Su Xiaoyun asked in surprise.
"That kind of thing that casts magic and seals it with a magic circle?" Shi Yitong couldn't even close his mouth.
"You've watched too many anime." Bai ruthlessly exposed Shi Yitong, rolled his eyes and said, "There are many kinds of enchantments, and the one you learned from anime is too one-sided."
"So what's going on?" I asked curiously.
"The so-called enchantment originally refers to all means used to protect the interior from outside intrusion. Simply put, the most common enchantment is your human residence."
"Residence... do you mean the house?" Shi Yitong scratched his head with a confused expression.
"That's right, it's your house." Bai walked forward with small steps, turning his head from time to time, "A house is a kind of enchantment. In addition to allowing the owner to live and work in peace and contentment, it also has another important function to protect the owner. Let outsiders invade. Among all things in nature, only human beings can make the enchantment of "dwelling" so perfectly. Similarly, a door, a window, armor, and shield are all enchantments that you humans use to protect yourself However, since there are barriers that can be seen by the naked eye in this world, there are naturally barriers that cannot be seen by the naked eye."
"That's like the enchantment created out of thin air when a mage casts a spell?" Su Xiaoyun asked tentatively.
"It's not all right." Bai judged, "There are also two types of barriers that are invisible to the naked eye. In Buddhism, 'natural world' and 'dharma world' are used to distinguish, that is, there are naturally formed barriers and man-made spells. The barriers formed."
"Is there any enchantment that can be formed naturally?" I asked.
"Of course there is." Bai explained, "The enchantment of practice is very simple to understand, it is the barrier artificially imposed by people with cultivation base through magic. But natural enchantment is also very common. Well, let me give you an example. Do you have any experience with someone who is depressed?"
Shi Yitong and I shook our heads, but Su Xiaoyun nodded.
"When I was in high school, there was a girl in my class who was depressed. She was depressed every day and often didn't come to school. Before she got depression, she was obviously a very sunny girl, but then she didn't know why, and she couldn't listen to anyone. , and don’t do anything, and seem to lack interest in anyone.”
"Yes, that's because of the enchantment." Bai said affirmatively.
"What's the relationship between depression and enchantment?" Su Xiaoyun asked inexplicably.
"People who suffer from depression will spontaneously close their hearts. When the disease is severe, no one cares about it, and they cannot listen to anyone's comfort. Not only that, but they will lose interest in life, and that is because the sick person himself Refuse to accept the fact of life itself." Bai said, "If a person doesn't want to touch anything, can't listen to anything, and can't get close to his heart. Then, don't you think this is very similar to enchantment? ?”
The three of us looked at each other in surprise.
"This is just the smallest kind of natural enchantment, which can only protect the sick person." Bai continued what he had said just now, "but there are places where enchanters are very powerful. For example, old houses that are haunted all the year round, historical In a long-standing museum, in a place like this, even if you can’t see the barrier with your naked eyes, as long as you walk in, you will feel the difference between the inside and the outside. This explains the problem very well.”
