Chapter 491: Illusion

Along the white water creek all the way into the mountains, the scenery has not changed much, although there are a large number of dense trees around, but it still gives people a sense of desolation and death, a feeling of oppression and gloom has always lingered around, lingering.

The view was greatly hindered here, and as long as the distance was more than a few tens of meters, only a gloomy darkness could be seen falling, like a black curtain falling from the sky, obscuring half of the vision.

"Rest here!"

I don't know how far they went, and the two came to a clearing, and Zhou Qingli proposed.

"Good!" In this regard, Song Jianqiu naturally has no opinion, after all, the person who is walking is Zhou Qingli, she has been carried on her back, so naturally Zhou Qingli is the main one.

This clearing is an exposed rocky field, although not very smooth, but it looks relatively clean, and it is not far from the white water stream, which is just the right place to drink some water and rest.

Zhou Qingli put Song Jianqiu down, although the latter felt that his body had regained a little strength, but after all, he was still very weak, and it was okay to walk and move by himself, but if he climbed the mountain, it would be far from enough.

"You stay here, I'll go get some water!" After Zhou Qingli finished speaking, he took the kettle and went to the stream to fill the water.

I don't know how long I walked, but along the way, there have been two or three times like this, and every time Zhou Qingli almost put her down, he was busy fetching water, for fear that she would be thirsty, which made her a little moved, but she might not have done much, so she could only whisper: "Thank you!" ”

"Silly girl, thank you!" Zhou Qingli smiled, and then left with the kettle.

After Zhou Qing left, Song Jianqiu sat quietly on the ground, planning to wait for him to come back, but suddenly felt a little hungry, so he planned to take out some biscuits from the shawl space to eat.

However, this time the luck didn't seem to be very good, in addition to some biscuits and fruits falling out of the shawl space, the tattered banner and a few books placed inside also fell out and fell to the ground with a bang, and then, the stone spirit that was originally inside also came out of it.

Before it turned into a stone stick, the stone spirit was a yellow ball of light, and after it came out, it flew around, but it looked very happy.

After looking at the stone spirit for a while, he saw that it was playing around, and after thinking about it, he didn't take it back, after all, they have now entered the deep mountains, and there are dangers around him all the time, and the stone spirit is better as a weapon to be outside at any time.

After ignoring Shi Ling, Song Jianqiu began to pick up the books that fell out and put them in the shawl space, and when he finally got the tattered flag, he couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart.

This banner was picked up in the bazaar of people in the realm when he followed Yuzhiqiu, Li Taiyi and Zhou Yuqing to the Zhengyi faction when they were in the yang world.

According to Yu Zhiqiu's judgment, this banner should be a banner on the battlefield, with a very murderous aura, and may even be able to devour souls and suppress ghosts, it is a very good magic weapon!

But it's a pity that it's badly damaged, there are many holes in the flag, and it's stained with blood, it can't be washed off, and the function is not one out of ten, and it can't be used anymore, except for the residual murderous aura that can deter ghosts, there is no more effect.

And Song Jianqiu didn't have the idea of fixing it; Or maybe she couldn't find the materials to fix it, so she kept hanging in the room.

As I said before, in order to avoid the murderous aura of the banner from affecting Li Chuyan and others, it was put into the shawl space, along with the Taiyin soil.

Originally, she didn't care about it, and after she arrived in the underworld, she didn't take it out, but after she inadvertently fell out just now, she found that this banner was actually actively absorbing the soul power of the underworld! That's why she felt a little surprised, and thought, could it be that the soul power of the underworld has an effect on these broken magic weapons? Or is it just the flag itself?

In fact, there are not many magic weapons on her body, basically except for this flag, there is only the copper bell that she named the Soul Bell, after Tang Xiaoyun took it and weaved it with spider silk, it became her jewelry, which is generally hung on the waist, and if it is urged by mana, it has a terrifying effect - once in the yang world, it played a good effect when she was surrounded by zombies.

It's just that she has no mana now, and this horror bell has really become an ornament.

The Soul Bell has always been hanging on her waist, but there is no active absorption of soul power, but this flag is the first time it is taken out, and it immediately absorbs soul power, which also shows that absorbing soul power is the reason for this flag itself!

Song Jianqiu touched the flag with his hand, and he didn't know what kind of material the flag was woven from, although it was tattered and looked very old, but it didn't have to be smooth and smooth to touch.

Touching it, her mind seemed to be affected by something, and she couldn't help but be in a trance, but she quickly came back to her senses, but saw that the surrounding area had changed places, no longer the black mountain forest in the underworld, but a place that looked like an ancient battlefield!

The ground was littered with the corpses of battle-armored soldiers, their weapons splattered to the ground, red blood staining the dirt and congealing into patches of blood.

The firelight, the smoke of gunpowder, connected to the gloomy sky, a tattered, bloodstained banner, stood on the ground, blown by the howling wind, and hunted.

This battle was obviously very fierce, and there were almost no living people on the entire battlefield, but under this banner, there was a warrior wearing battle armor and holding a long sword in one hand, standing proudly in place, looking into the distance.

Judging by the side face and the curves of this armor, it is clear that the warrior is a woman.

Although her face is stained with blood, she can still see that she is outstanding in appearance, and she is definitely a big beauty!

However, this is such a woman who should be delicate and swaying in everyone's impression, but here she is a warrior who wears battle armor and holds a long sword, constantly slashing enemies and surviving the battlefield!

The momentum on her body does not show the weakness of a woman at all, but only the arrogance of a warrior and the murderous aura exercised on the battlefield!

Song Jianqiu seemed to be observing this place from the perspective of a third person, however, the other party seemed to be aware of her gaze, and after just looking at it for a moment, the female warrior turned her head and looked over.

The eyes of the two sides collided in mid-air, but before they could react, Song Jianqiu woke up from this state.

"Jianqiu!"

The scene around him quickly faded away, and in the blink of an eye, it recovered.

She blinked, only to realize that what she had seen before was not a dream, but a picture of some kind of obsession.

Is it the battle that this banner has ever experienced? She stroked the flag in her hand, and thought to herself; No wonder when I saw the flag hanging on the flagpole before, it was a little familiar.

The thoughts in her heart just turned, and when she raised her head, she saw that Zhou Qing had come back in a hurry, and it was the latter's shout that pulled her back to reality.

"What's wrong?" Song Jianqiu saw that the other party was running in such a hurry, thinking that something had happened, so he asked.

"When I went to fetch water, I saw a naturally formed stone pit below, and white water gathered in it...... Would you like to take a shower? Zhou Qingli said.

In fact, when he was in the yang world, with Song Jianqiu's cultivation, although it has not yet reached the point of not being stained with dust, even if he does not take a bath, his body is actually very clean, but sometimes, taking a bath is not only to wash away the filth, sometimes it is also to relax the body and spirit.

Even before Song Jianqiu became a girl, she loved cleanliness very much; In the summer, I must take a bath every day, even in winter, it is washed every two days, and after becoming a girl, the number of baths has not changed, but when I take a bath, I wash it more carefully.

When taking a bath becomes a habit, if you don't wash it for a while, even if your body is clean, you will feel very awkward and want to rinse it.

In fact, after coming to the underworld these days, she thought about taking a bath a few times, but when she saw that the Zhao family didn't seem to have a place to take a bath, she was embarrassed to trouble others, so she could only put away this thought and endure it.

Originally, she had forgotten about it after enduring this time, but she didn't expect Zhou Qingli to suddenly mention it now, so in an instant, she felt as if she was sticky and wanted to take a bath.

However, even though there was a natural stone pit below where she could take a bath, as Zhou Qingli said, she still had some scruples and asked with some embarrassment: "Is this ...... Not okay? Barren mountains and mountains, unsheltered, what if someone comes? ”

Taking a shower is definitely about taking off all your clothes! She had never had the experience of bathing outside, so it was normal for her to be scruples.

"Didn't you?" Zhou Qingli glanced around and said jokingly: "In this barren mountains and mountains, where are there people except ghosts?" "If this is put in the yang world, it is quite correct, but it is not right in this underworld, there are most ghosts here, and talents are very rare!

Hearing this, Song Jianqiu felt that there was still a certain amount of truth, in this kind of deep mountain, there would be no one else, but even so, she still didn't decide immediately, but asked with some hesitation: "Is that place hidden?" ”

"Well, the concealment is not very hidden, I can only say that it is not very deep, probably up to the waist of the person!" Zhou Qingli said with some embarrassment: "If you squat down, others should not be able to see it!" ”

When Song Jianqiu heard this, he weighed and entangled left and right in his heart, and finally felt that he hadn't taken a bath or changed his clothes in the past few days, and he really couldn't bear it anymore, so he gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Okay! I'm going to take a shower! ”

After speaking, she stood up, still holding the banner in her hand, thought about it, and felt that since it would absorb soul power by itself, she was very curious about what would happen after absorbing it, so she decided not to put it in the shawl space, but to carry it directly with her.

However, she was going to take a bath now, so naturally she couldn't hold it anymore, so she handed it to Zhou Qingli.

The latter saw that the other party had handed over the flag, so he took it, looked at it, and asked curiously, "Didn't you find this flag in the market?" What do you take it out for? ”

Seeing that the other party asked, Song Jianqiu informed him of his discovery, and also told him about the fact that he seemed to have been dragged into the illusion by the banner before.

"And this kind of thing?!"

Zhou Qingli looked surprised, it was rare to see magic weapons that could actively absorb soul power. He felt it carefully, and sure enough, he noticed that the banner was absorbing soul power, but the speed of this absorption was very slow and small, and if it wasn't for careful exploration, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Finding out about this situation, he was naturally very interested and said, "Since this is the case, let's put it outside!" I'll take it first, and then I'll give you the wind around! You go take a bath! ”

"Hmm!" Song Jianqiu nodded, but he didn't need Zhou Qingli to point in any direction, anyway, he just had to follow the direction in which the white water stream flowed.

However, after she walked for a while, she seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around, and said with a vigilant face: "You are not allowed to peek!" ”

"No, no, no!" Zhou Qingli grinned and waved his hand again and again, but the appearance of his hippie smiling face was really not very reassuring.

Seeing that Song Jianqiu had been looking at him with suspicious eyes, Zhou Qingli hurriedly straightened his attitude and said with a serious face: "Am I that kind of person?" You can rest assured! ”

This seems to make some sense, but it is also possible that there is no chance of peeping?

After thinking about it, I felt that since everything had been decided, then I shouldn't be so entangled, so I didn't think about it anymore, turned my head, and continued to walk down carefully.

After walking away, Zhou Qingli sighed: "Alas! If I hadn't been so honest, I would have found a girlfriend a long time ago, okay? As he spoke, he unfurled the banner in his hand, raised it, and looked at it in front of him, as if he wanted to study why it took the initiative to absorb soul power.

Of course, it is more likely that I still want to use this to divert my attention and avoid being really unbearable and running to peep.

After walking for a while, Song Jianqiu looked back and saw that Zhou Qingli really didn't follow, so he continued to walk down.

Not long after, I found the stone pit that Zhou Qingli said, and the white smoke from the white water stream flowed silently into the stone pit, and then overflowed from the edge and continued to flow down.

She went to the pit and put her hand in it and tried it.

Sure enough, although it looks like white smoke, if it comes into contact with the skin, it will turn into water, so it can be used for bathing.

After making sure that there was no problem, she did not immediately take off her clothes, but first looked left and right vigilantly, and after making sure that there was no one around, she stood on the edge of the stone pit and began to untie her clothes.

The clothes she is wearing have always been the palace clothes that have been turned into the same as the Jinxia shawl that has been wrapped around her arms, although she has been sealed and cultivated, but whether it is a palace dress or a shawl, it can still be used, but it has lost the glorious appearance of the Buddha, and has become more unpretentious, looking like an ordinary silk fabric.

At this time, her dress, if she doesn't say it, is actually no different from the dress of a woman in the underworld, but Zhou Qingli's dress here looks a little maverick and weird.
