03 Ghost hits the wall
Although Shang Buqi's words were reasonable, Xie Yixiang was annoyed that he only cared about his own life before, and in the end Ning Cui came to his aid; although it was only a false alarm, it could also be seen that the character of this Beiping god was definitely not worth entrusting. At that moment, Xie Yixiang shook his head and said, "Right now, the three of us are still deep underground, and the future is uncertain. Besides, it is not a day or two since you and I have been investigating the case of the 'face-ripping demon', and it is not too late to arrest her and leave this place. ”
Seeing Xie Yixiang's attitude, Shang Buqi was angry in his heart, but he didn't want to turn his face with her, so he had to "puff", or lead the way first and go to the opposite aisle. Ning Cui and Xie Yixiang followed behind him in turn, about the time of a meal, the aisle in front of them has been turned into a stone staircase going up, after going up to more than 20 steps, it is a small platform that is a square foot, the stone staircase immediately turns back, continues to extend up in the opposite direction, and turns back again after more than 20 steps, it is clearly a set of stone stairs with a zigzag design; and the whole stone staircase walkway is like a hollow long box erected, and in the box is a stone staircase that alternates upwards.
The three of them just walked up the stone stairs, and they didn't encounter any danger along the way, they climbed for about half an hour, Xie Yixiang's soaked clothes had already been dried by internal forces, but the stone stairs under their feet were still endless, and they didn't know how long they were. Later, the three of them climbed a little breathless, so they had to stop and rest on the platform, and Shang Buqi scolded even more: "It seems that I guessed right, such a long stone staircase walkway, it can be seen that the secret passage in this 'Sulitang Peak' is really going to lead to the top of the mountain." Before, we looked at the whole mountain peak outside, about a hundred zhang high, we went down to the depths of the ground through the tomb at the foot of the mountain and the 'Trap Dragon', and then went up the stone stairs, and we had already gone up half of the distance, and this place should be halfway up the whole 'Suritang Peak'. ”
Xie Yixiang didn't want to pay attention to him, so she asked Ning Cui about Yan Sidao, confirming what she mentioned before, "incarnate tens of millions, confusing people's hearts". Ning Cui couldn't help laughing and said: "Sister, since you are bent on arresting that person, how can you not even know his details? To give a simple example, it is like a common hypnotism in the rivers and lakes, once the hypnotized person is hit, he will go insane, and even think that he is a cat or a dog. And that person's means are more sophisticated, not only can completely brainwash the hypnotized, but also can selectively instill his own memories, experiences, ideas, wisdom, etc. into the mind of the hypnotized person. In this way, the hypnotized person will completely lose himself, and even take himself as him, thus becoming an 'avatar' of him. ”
Xie Yixiang was silent, if what Ning Cui said was true, then the whole thing would make sense. On that day, in order to find the stolen military salary of the imperial court, he left Yueyang City and went to Poyang Lake, and then a series of abnormalities appeared on his body. If it is not bad as expected, it must have fallen into the hands of Yan Sidao on his way to Poyang Lake, and then he was hypnotized by his witchcraft, making himself an "incarnation" of him, and this memory was erased. As far as Sidao's purpose in doing this is to use his body to enter the "Ten Thousand Trees and Spring" of the Netherworld Family in Poyang Lake, so that his divine consciousness can appear in the other party's dream, and in one fell swoop to break the Heavenly Grandfather's "Taixu One Dream", so as to completely destroy the entire "immortal" Netherworld family.
As for the Yan Sidao who appeared with Wen Tianting, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, he died on the spot under the supernatural power of Da Rui's great-grandfather "Dao Dharma Buddha Light", of course, he was just an "incarnation" of Yan Sidao, and Xie Yixiang, the "incarnation", fortunately got the blessing of Hai Yisu's "Seven Stars Determination Array", so he could temporarily save his mind. Later, by chance, she met the mysterious little Taoist priest in Bifu and got a son, and finally completely dissolved the "soul" of Yan Sidao in her mind, but made Xie Yixiang a blessing in disguise, and turned the memory and wisdom instilled in her by Yan Sidao into her own use.
But if you continue to speculate on this, the more you think about it, the more terrifying it becomes. On the surface, Yan Sidao's ability to turn others into his "incarnation" by means similar to hypnotism is already appalling in itself; if you think about it further, since Yan Sidao has such a ability, then the Yan Sidao that Xie Yixiang met before appears in a different image every time, maybe those are just the "incarnations" of Yan Sidao, and they are not the "real bodies" of Yan Sidao at all? And the so-called "real body" of Yan Sidao may only be an "incarnation" of others, but the "real bodies" of Zhang Sidao and Li Sidao hypnotizes others, this is what you have today?
Thinking of this, Xie Yixiang was already cold. As Ning Cui said in the aisle before: "People will eventually die, but people's minds can never die, and thoughts can never be killed." According to this line of thinking, where does the so-called "Yansi Dao" come from, and from whom, where, and when does its "true body" come from? Since he can turn others into his own "incarnation", it also means that he can endlessly copy his thoughts into the minds of others, so that in this way, the thoughts of Yan Sidao can survive for a thousand or ten thousand years?
For a while, Xie Yixiang only felt that all thoughts were lost, compared to what "the first master in the world" and what "the first person in the world in ten years", wouldn't they all be like ants in front of Yan Sidao? Because Yan Sidao has such an ability, it is equivalent to immortality and immortality, and even has been equated with a "god"-like existence?
It is said that Shang Buqi didn't know anything about Yan Sidao, and at this time he was in the stone staircase corridor, and he had no intention of listening to these two little girls' nonsense. After resting for half an hour, he stood up and beckoned, "You can go!" Ning Cui saw that Xie Yixiang was a little depressed, worried and frightened her, and said with a smile: "Sister, I know what you're worried about, but it's not as terrible as you think." You must know that everyone has selfish intentions, if I have a way to make you become a second me, but I may not be willing, because once Xie Yixiang becomes Ning Cui, then what is the matter with me, Ning Cui? So that person's ability, in the final analysis, is just some means similar to hypnosis, as long as you are willing to join forces with me and get the 'Tianshan Falling Dragon' before him, you will definitely be able to make him die without a place to be buried!"
Xie Yixiang slowly calmed down, and didn't dare to think nonsense anymore. Regardless of whether Ning Cui's words are true or not, the most important thing at the moment is to find a way out. And no matter how scheming that Yan Sidao is, no matter how immortal he is, it is only a trick at best, and when he personally captures him back to the prison, he will ask the reason for this. Then the three of them still did not abandon the formation in front, Ning Cui in the middle, and Xie Yixiang in the back, continued to climb up the stone ladder, and walked for more than an hour, but this zigzag-shaped stone ladder still has no end, and I don't know how long it is. When the three of them came to the platform at the turn of a stone staircase again, Shang Buqi in front suddenly stopped, pointed to a gap in the corner of the wall and said sharply: "No, there is a ghost in this stone staircase! Look at this gap in the corner of the wall, we have clearly been here before!"
Xie Yixiang was slightly stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, and suddenly had some doubts. The original platform at the turn back of the stone staircase, there is a circle of gaps in the corners of the stone walls on three sides, separating the stone wall from the ground, and the gaps extend to the stone wall next to the stone stairs below. Although she didn't know what was going on with this circle of gaps, Xie Yixiang vaguely remembered that the three of them had climbed up the stone stairs along the way, and had seen the same gap appear two or three times in the corner of the platform at the turn of the stone stairs, and they didn't pay attention to it at that time.
Could it really be that the two or three gaps that everyone had seen before were actually the same place as the gaps in the corners of the platform in front of them? That is to say, the three of them had climbed the stone staircase walkway for more than two hours, but in fact, they had only circled around the stone stairs, and had already returned to the same place several times?
But Ning Cui next to him asked suspiciously: "What does Shang Shen mean is that the entire stone ladder walkway is actually a big ring, and we are just going around in circles?" Shang Buqi looked at her eyes meaningfully, and said lightly: "The stone ladder goes up alternately all the way, and we have always climbed up, maybe we are going around in circles?" If I guessed correctly, what the three of us met right now is the legendary 'ghost hitting the wall'!"
