Myths of Mountains and Seas: Volume 7

By Tang YiGuDian

In the four seas and eight wastelands, the Mystic Maiden offered up the secret arts of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Seven Domains of the Nine Prefectures, and the Nine Tripod Commerce.

When this cauldron reached ten percent completion, the rain of blood would rain down upon the deities and devils.

The River Diagram appeared, as did Luo Shu. The human world was in turmoil.

It was rumored that these nine cauldrons were the ones that had gained the world. However, he did not know that the treasures of the nine cauldrons were all in the Mountain Sea Secret Art that was drawn on the cauldron.

After that, the nine cauldrons sank into the Luo River, disappearing without a trace. The five paths of the world, the Wonder Gate, the Illusion Dao, the Mountain Sect, the Sea Sect, the Scripture Pavilion, and the five sects' heirs, each had their own secret treasures, all for the sake of obtaining the Mountain Sea secret arts within the nine cauldrons.

This fight lasted for thousands of years …

CHAPTER 601 - ANXIETY FOG BARRIER

There was not a single sound in the Deer Platform ruins, only the continuous sounds of vomiting.

The group of Mo Sect disciples hit their chests with their hammers nonstop and kept puking on the ground. It was as if they were going to vomit all their organs out before they could stop. The thick black filth flowing out of his mouth gathered together, like a large puddle of old black mud at the bottom of a river.

Gong Shubaan looked at the miserable state the Mo Sect disciples were in and asked: What are these black mud?

Mo Zhai looked at the puddle of black dirt on the ground and said, These are all formed from the condensed resentment in my body. If we are unable to get out of it in time, the people who hold grudges against us will sooner or later die because of the pressure within their body.

The illusory figure behind Mo Zhai had disappeared at some point, and the little person on the round black wooden plate in his hand had been shackled once again. What was different from before was that a drop of pure white blood appeared on the little person's mouth, as if there was a round pearl adorned on top of the black wooden plate.

Mo Zhai reached out his left hand to quickly swipe across the black wood tablet on his right hand, then wiped the pure white blood onto his left thumb. Immediately after, Mo Zhai created afterimages with his left hand and used a bit of strength on the heads of the Mo Sect disciples.

After the Mo Sect disciples were touched by Mo Zhai, the feeling of vomiting in their minds disappeared, and the blockage in their chests also disappeared as they returned to normal. They blankly stared at the black mud on the ground, not knowing what had just happened.

Mo Zhai looked around, only to realize that the mist was getting denser, and said: I thought that the Deer Platform was a land of grievances, but I never thought that the grievances here would be so strong that they would turn into a grievance and settle in my heart, and even suppress my soul. You guys can quickly withdraw from the Deer Platform. For this trip, Mr Gong Shu and I will go, you can't go.

All the Mo Sect disciples said worriedly after hearing this, But if the giant and Mr Gong Shu were to go, and encounter any kind of danger …

Mo Zhai shook his head, and said: Don't worry about this, I naturally have a way to save you all since I was able to rescue you guys from your resentment. If the Deer Platform is too dangerous, we can just withdraw and not go.

The Mo Sect disciples knew that they could not help Mo Zhai in this matter, and so they made an agreement with Mo Zhai to meet the two of them outside the Deer Platform, then turned and quickly left the Deer Platform.

Gong Shubaan watched the Mo Sect disciples leave, then pointed to the black wood tablet in Mo Zhai's hand and asked: What is this black wood tablet? What was that shadow behind you just now?

Mo Zhai looked at Gong Shubaan, his eyes revealing a look of astonishment: You saw it?

Gong Shubaan nodded, and said: Such an obvious black shadow is standing behind you, how can I not see it? It's not like I'm blind.

Mo Zhai quietly looked at Gong Shubaan for a long time before saying: I didn't think that you had actually already mastered the cultivation technique within the Classic of Mountains and Rivers.

This time, it's Gong Shubaan's turn to be puzzled. How do you know that I cultivated the Classic of Mountains and Rivers's technique inscribed on the tortoise shell … Could it be that the black shadow behind you is also a Classic of Mountains and Rivers technique? "

Mo Zhai nodded his head, and said: Only with Character in the Classic of Mountains and Rivers can one see the technique for Character in the Classic of Mountains and Rivers. Since you have already cultivated the Classic of Mountains and Rivers's technique, then you have already stepped into the Classic of Mountains and Rivers.

For some reason, Gong Shubaan could hear some regret from Mo Zhai's tone.

Gong Shubaan's heart was filled with doubt, and he asked: What is among the Classic of Mountains and Rivers?

Mo Zhai said: At this moment, both of us are inside the Classic of Mountains and Rivers. Once you enter the Classic of Mountains and Rivers and become a Character in the Classic of Mountains and Rivers, you will no longer be a human but a chess piece. From today onwards, the fate of your life will no longer be decided by yourself, and your Life and Death Talisman will no longer be in your hands.

You are only a chess piece that is driven by others. If you are used by others, how can you talk about life and death? Everything that you possess, is the choice and decision of the Classic of Mountains and Rivers. You don't know when you will lose everything, including your life. You can't break free, you can only sink into it, you can't pull yourself out …"

Mo Zhai spoke to Gong Shubaan calmly and indifferently, as if he was preaching the most basic truths in the world, such as the alternation of the sun and moon, the rising and setting of the sun...

Maybe what Mo Zhai said was the truth within the Classic of Mountains and Rivers.

Gong Shubaan stared blankly at Mo Zhai, and said: Was this also taught to you by your sect?

Mo Zhai shook his head and said: I am personally experiencing it this time, it has nothing to do with the sect.

Gong Shubaan was silent for a long time, laughed three times, and said with disdain: You, a dignified giant of the Mo family, actually still believe in the illusory version of Destiny's Profound that Scholar Fang talked about? Ridiculous! Laughable!

Gong Shubaan continued to walk forward, but his trembling hands had long since betrayed him.

He might not believe Mo Zhai's words.

Mo Zhai looked at Gong Shubaan's stubborn back, shook his head, and walked forward …

Subconsciously, Gong Shubaan and Mo Zhai had already walked for quite a while within the Deer Platform s' ruins.

When they first entered the Deer Platform, the two of them did not feel that the misty water vapor was too inconvenient to look at. But as the two walked towards the center of the Deer Platform, the mist around them became denser and denser. Until now, the two of them seemed to have already entered a world of fog. Around them, nothing could be seen except the thick fog.

The fog had already surrounded them.

Gong Shubaan looked around at the fog, and said suspiciously: There's something wrong with the fog, right?

Mo Zhai said: Something's wrong. He lowered his head to look at the black wooden tablet in his hand. There was nothing out of the ordinary about it.

This was what made Mo Zhai the most curious. This black wood tablet was the protective treasure bestowed to Mo Zhai by his master before he descended the mountain.

At this moment, layers of dense fog had already surrounded Mo Zhai and Gong Shubaan, no matter how you looked at it, it did not seem to be normal. But even so, the black wood sign didn't have any reaction.

The place they were heading to was the center of the Deer Platform. There, King Di Xin had once built a Star Seizer Tower that reached into the clouds. Legend has it that the entire Deer Platform was laid down by a Demon Sealing Array, and the core of the Demon Sealing Array was located at Star Seizer Pavilion.

Although the entire Deer Platform, including Star Seizer Tower, had already been burnt into ruins by Di Xin, the Demon Sealing Array was unable to burn down any flames in the world.

If the formation wasn't destroyed, the Formation Aperture would still be here.

It was precisely because the Deer Platform had the Demon Sealing Array that Di Xin's grievances as a human emperor had persisted through hundreds of years without dispersing in the slightest, always accumulating here. Amongst them, the Formation Aperture was the most resentful.

Mo Zhai wanted to use that monstrous resentment to stimulate Gong Shubaan's mind and mind, so that he could see the world's most yin objects. It could be said that if he wanted to open the Yin Yang Eyes, he had to go to the center of the Deer Platform.

However, the two of them could not see where they were due to the fog, and they could not even see where they were. Furthermore, they had to go to the center of the Deer Platform to open the Yin Yang Eyes, which was even more ridiculous.

CHAPTER 602 - WIND AND SNOW FOG DEMON FOX'S HEART OF ILLUSION

Gong Shubaan and Mo Zhai had been walking in the dense fog for a long time. Mo Zhai judged from the numbness on their legs that they had at least walked for six hours.

When Mo Zhai was young, he traveled across countries on foot. At that time, he was very poor and couldn't afford to buy a comfortable carriage, so his legs and two legs became the only thing he could rely on to travel around the countries. It was precisely because Mo Zhai had that experience that he was able to estimate the time based on the exhaustion in his legs.

Gong Shubaan bent over and patted his sore thighs, and said: Tell me, are we in Wen Zhong's Nine Winding River Formation? Why are we not able to get out no matter how hard we turn, is the fog getting stronger and stronger?

The Nine Winding River Formation was a magical formation set up by Wen Zhong of the Shang Kingdom to stop the army of the Zhou Empire when the Wu King sent troops to the Zhou Empire.

According to legend, Grand Preceptor Wen had dispatched troops to invade the eastern barbarians in the name of Emperor Xin. Only when he passed through the Yellow River and saw the winding paths of the Yellow River did he create the Nine Winding River Formation. Anyone who entered the Nine Winding River Formation would be confused and confused by this miraculous array. They would wander around in it but no matter what, they wouldn't be able to get out of it.

Gong Shubaan felt that the two of them inside the wreckage was like a martial king entering the Nine Winding River Formation. They were confused but were still unable to find the right path.

Seeing that Gong Shubaan was not leaving, Mo Zhai stopped to rest and looked around.

Beside them, there was nothing but fog. The fog had locked them in place, and they had no idea where they were or how far they were from their destination.

Mo Zhai said strangely: It's spring time now, and the flowers are blooming, it's not like it's autumn cold or the middle of winter, and this Deer Platform is not a gathering place for fog, there shouldn't be such a large fog. Could it be …"

Mo Zhai did not finish his words. He looked at Gong Shubaan, and Gong Shubaan also nodded towards Mo Zhai. After the two of them looked at each other, they no longer spoke and continued to walk forward.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the thick fog that filled the sky actually turned into a violent gust of snow in the blink of an eye.

Gong Shubaan and Mo Zhai were even more shocked when they saw the howling snowstorm in front of them. However, the sudden appearance of the snowstorm confirmed their thoughts.

The two of them did not speak, but continued to walk through the wind and snow with difficulty.

They felt that the more they walked, the more tired they became, and the heavier their steps became.

Their speed became slower and slower, and with two consecutive muffled thumps, the two finally exhausted all of their strength in the snowstorm. One in front and one behind, they fell onto the vast expanse of white snow.

Strangely, the moment the two fell to the ground and unconscious, the snow suddenly disappeared and the dense fog appeared beside Gong Shubaan and Mo Zhai once again. At this moment, the fog was like a huge Taotie beast with white fur, slowly closing in on the two of them, wanting to swallow them into the fog.

After a long period of deathly silence, a series of slow and gentle footsteps sounded out from within the dense fog. The footsteps sounded like the sound of mosquitoes and the sound of falling snow. It was because there were no other sounds around them that it was revealed. If there was even the slightest sound, it would hide itself, making it impossible for others to discover it.

The faint sound of footsteps slowly approached Gong Shubaan and Mo Zhai who were lying motionless on the ground. When it was near to Gong Shubaan and Mo Zhai, it suddenly disappeared.

After a long period of silence, the sound of footsteps could be heard once more. This time, the sound of footsteps accompanied a snow-white furry calf out of the fog. After the leg was the body, similarly snow-white.

A fox emerged from the fog. It was a strange and snow-white fox. Unlike ordinary foxes, it had three fiery red tails on its buttocks.

Its thin and graceful body, and its fluffy tail that was shaking non-stop, and its sharp nose that was wriggling from time to time, sniffed around not far away from Gong Shubaan and Mo Zhai. His long, narrow ears remained alert, as if he would retreat quickly into the fog if he heard anything dangerous.

It was extremely cautious, only when it confirmed that Mo Zhai and his companion had fainted from exhaustion did it move closer to the two of them, opening its sharp mouth and biting towards Gong Shubaan's neck.

Cluck, cluck …

The white fox ruthlessly bit onto the back of Gong Shubaan's neck, but it didn't emit the sound of sharp teeth piercing flesh. Instead, it emitted the sound of two mischievous stones colliding.

The white fox curled its beak, and its expression was extremely ugly. Doubt flashed in its black pearl like eyes. It did not understand. It was clearly biting human flesh, but why did it feel like it was biting hard stone?

On Gong Shubaan's neck, a piece of dark and heavy black wood was revealed. It was Gong Shubaan's Qilin bone.

The white fox was puzzled and quickly retreated into the thick fog. At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind the white fox. That figure was as fast as lightning as he grabbed the white fox by its neck and lifted it into the air.

It was unknown when Mo Zhai had crawled up from the ground, but he had grabbed the white fox in a flash.

Gong Shubaan also flipped over and sat on the ground, he raised his head to look at the white fox in Mo Zhai's hand that was constantly twisting and turning, and said: I was just saying that there's something wrong with this mist, so it's actually a fox immortal's ghost. Oh, and it's even a three-tailed Celestial Fox.

Mo Zhai also noticed the three furry tails on the white fox's butt, and said: I never thought that there would actually be a demon fox living in the Deer Platform's ruins.

According to the records of the Classic of Mountains and Rivers, the mountain of Qing Qiu has beasts, which look like a fox with nine tails.

These words were from a strange beast from the ancient Qing Qiu mountain called the Nine Tailed Fox. In the people, there were many legends about the Nine-tailed Fox. It was said that the Nine-tailed Fox was adept at illusions and could bewitch people.

Mo Zhai looked at the Three Tailed Fox in interest as he said, Back then, when Yellow Emperor Xuan Yuan used Hundred Rivers and Ten Thousand Dragons to suppress the Ten Thousand Beasts, the Nine Tailed Demon Fox was among them. I never thought that there would actually be a Nine-tailed Demon Fox descendant hidden within the Deer Platform.

Although Gong Shubaan had heard of the Nine-tailed Fox Immortal's legend from Fang Shi, he had never really put it to heart. Now that he had personally seen a Three Tailed Fox Immortal, he realized that Fang Shi's words were actually true.

Gong Shubaan asked, What is the relationship between this Three-tailed Fox Immortal and the Nine-tailed Fox Immortal?

Mo Zhai firmly gripped the Three-tailed Fox's neck and said, It is not some fox fairy, it is a demon fox that can confuse the hearts of humans. The ancestors of all the foxes in the world were all Nine-tailed Fox of the Qing Qiu Mountains. Every fox had the possibility of absorbing Universe Qi to give birth to a new mind. The more the tail, the smarter the fox became, the more human and cunning it became. Furthermore, the nine elements of the world are extreme. When a fox gives birth to its ninth tail, it can even transform into a human form and interact with others.

Mo Zhai said as he placed the black wood tablet on the head of the Three-tailed Fox. In the beginning, the Three-tailed Fox was still struggling non-stop, but when the black wood sign covered its head, it seemed to have met its nemesis, but it was silently held by Mo Zhai and stopped moving.

CHAPTER 603 - A DEBATE BETWEEN MAN AND BEAST LET GO OF THE FOX BACK TO THE MOUNTAIN

Gong Shubaan listened attentively as Mo Zhai narrated the miraculous things that he had never experienced before. That careful expression reminded Mo Zhai of the days when he listened to Master's teachings on the peak of the Profound Maiden Peak all those years ago.

In the Mystic Maiden Peak's Queen Mother Palace, Master sat on the ice crystal jade chair and told him about all the gods and ghosts in the world.

Mo Zhai continued, This demon fox's tail is easy to speak of, but is extremely difficult to make. Until now, the only Nine-tailed Fox recorded in the world was the one in the Qing Qiu Mountains. That year, after Zhuo Lu's battle, the Nine-tailed Fox helped the Chiyou design Xuan Yuan Huang Emperor. After the Chiyou was exterminated, the Nine-tailed Fox, along with the other strange beasts, was suppressed by Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan in some unknown place or some unknown water. From then on, without the inheritance of the Demon Fox Family, it became even more difficult for a fox to give birth to two tails, not to mention a third tail and a fourth tail … The three tails of this fox were most likely born from its constant cultivation day and night, as well as the stimulation from this land of great resentment.

Mo Zhai took off the black wood tablet from the three foxes' heads. In an instant, the thick fog around him disappeared, and what replaced it were patches of white fox fur floating in the air.

The white fox fur gently floated down from the sky and covered the ground like a white fur stall. When the white fur settled, it revealed the original appearance of the Deer Platform s. It was surrounded by dense trees, and broken walls were hidden within them.

So it turned out that there was never a single cloud of snow and wind that covered the sky within the Deer Platform ruins. It was this Three-Tailed Demonic Fox that used its illusions to confuse Gong Shubaan and the white fox hair into a cloud of fog and snow, as they continuously whirled about in the ruins.

Gong Shubaan grabbed onto a handful of fox fur from the sky and looked at it from head to toe. Then, he looked at the Three-Tailed Demonic Fox in Mo Zhai's hands and exclaimed in shock, So the fog around us was actually created by you using the white fox's fur. It's really amazing!

The Three-Tailed Demonic Fox broke free from the binding of the black wood brand and returned to its flexible posture. At this moment, its round, black, pearl-like eyes were rolling back and forth in its sockets, as if it were trying to figure out how to escape from the hands of these two humans.

Mo Zhai looked at Gong Shubaan and said, This demon fox has already produced three tails, and her wisdom has already been fully mastered. That being the case, leaving it on this earth would be a disaster. It would be better to take advantage of its lack of growth to finish it off here, it could also be considered as acting on behalf of the heavens."

The Three-Tailed Demonic Fox seemed to have understood Mo Zhai's words as well. It shook its little snow-white head from left to right with its mouth wide open as it cried out incessantly, as if it was saying, NO! No!"

Gong Shubaan was rather interested in this Three-Tailed Demonic Fox that only knew illusions, he bent down and looked it in the eye.

The Three-Tailed Demonic Fox looked at Gong Shubaan as if she was looking at her savior. It immediately put on a pitiful appearance, and the word beg seemed to be written all over its face.

Suddenly, Gong Shubaan laughed mischievously as he reached out his hand towards the Three-Tailed Demonic Fox's small head, scaring it so much that it did not even dare to move.

Gong Shubaan didn't do anything, he only rubbed the Three-Tailed Demonic Fox's head with his big, rough hand.

Why don't we let it go? Gong Shubaan whispered.

Mo Zhai frowned, and asked: Why did you release it?

Gong Shubaan stared into the eyes of the Three-Tailed Demonic Fox and said: I just feel that, as a fox, it took me great effort to cultivate only three tails, but it was killed by us, wouldn't that be very unlucky?

As the Three-Tailed Demonic Fox listened to Gong Shubaan's words, its eyes became slightly moist, and its two black pearl like eyes seemed to become even more crystalline and round.

Mo Zhai was puzzled: Humans and strange beasts have been enemies since ancient times, and they have never been at odds. Either the beast was eating the human, or the man was killing the beast. Today, you want to let this Three-Tailed Demonic Fox go? It doesn't make sense no matter where you put it.

Gong Shubaan said: But you also said that if it were to cultivate nine tails one day, it could transform into a human. At that time, its appearance would be the same as a person's, and it would also have the same human nature as a person. It would also have the same joy, anger, and sorrow. By then, what's the difference between it and a person?

After hearing that, Mo Zhai was slightly startled, he shook his head and said, Why do you think that way? Since it's a mutant beast now and still can't take human form, it's different from human beings. It's not human!"

Gong Shubaan argued, When a baby was born, it didn't know how to speak nor how to act. It could only cry. Compared to it, the baby was shaped like a human, and no one loved it; however, the baby was shaped like a human, but there was a favor in it. Since both of them have been reduced by a small amount, and both of them will grow into human beings in the future, then what's the difference between the two?

Mo Zhai looked at Gong Shubaan in a daze, although his teacher had told him that what Gong Shubaan said was wrong, that the Three Tailed Fox in his hands was a beast that might bring calamity to the world, he did not know how to refute Gong Shubaan.

Mo Zhai could only warn him: The Three Tailed Fox is intelligent, we can trick it and catch it, if we really let it go, it won't be that easy to catch it again.

Gong Shubaan laughed: Don't worry, if this Three Tailed Fox happens again next time, I have my own ways.

Mo Zhai looked at the affirmation in Gong Shubaan's eyes and sighed. His fingers loosened, and the Three-Tailed Demonic Fox broke free from his grasp.

As soon as the Three-Tailed Demonic Fox landed on the ground, it turned into a white flash of lightning and entered the forest, disappearing without looking back.

When the Three-Tailed Demonic Fox left, it even brought a cool breeze. With a gentle breeze, all the white fox fur on the ground was lifted into the air, forming a silver vortex. The vortex passed through the trees, heading in the direction of the Three-Tailed Demonic Fox.

Mo Zhai said: See, it is just a strange beast, it will not be grateful to you for saving it.

Gong Shubaan said: Wouldn't it be too tiring to live on in this world if there was always a reward for everything? As a person, you only need to hope for peace of mind."

After Mo Zhai heard this, he pondered for a while and said, You're right, but I still don't think that what you're doing is right.

Gong Shubaan laughed: You have your own way of thinking, I have mine, let's not talk about this. Let's figure out where we are right now."

With that, the two climbed up the treetops to confirm their direction and position.

It turned out that they, under the interference of the fog, had been following the outer ring of the Deer Platform. They had entered from the east side of the Deer Platform and were now opposite to the west.

Gong Shubaan and Mo Zhai's stomachs rumbled as they were tormented by a Three-Tailed Demonic Fox for so long.

The two sat on the ground, casually ate some rations, drank some fresh water, and then continued on their journey. They all knew clearly that the Deer Platform was not a safe place.

However, there was something that Mo Zhai did not understand, It seems like that Three-Tailed Demonic Fox is stopping us from entering the Deer Platform. Could it be that there is something inside the Deer Platform …

CHAPTER 604 - STRANGE STONE TOWER WHOEVER DIES WILL LIVE

This was a piece of empty land, a quiet place in a wasteland of ruins.

There were no trees, no rocks, no grass, no insects, no birds, no beasts, not even a sound.

Within a hundred meters, there was a towering stone pagoda that was as tall as the clouds. Rather than saying that it was a stone tower, it was more like a stone pillar that spiraled upwards around it.

At the very top of the stone pillar, something was placed on top of it, but the thing was surrounded by clouds and mist, making it impossible for Gong Shubaan and Mo Zhai to see what it was.

Currently, Gong Shubaan and Mo Zhai were standing at the bottom of the stone pillar, hesitating on whether or not they should go up.

They walked all the way from the west side of the Deer Platform ruins until the sky turned dark. Then, they arrived at the center of the Deer Platform and saw the stone tower.

Gong Shubaan and Mo Zhai were curious as to why this stone tower was so high up, they should have long since seen it from afar. However, the two of them did not see even the slightest shadow of the stone pagoda. The stone pagoda seemed to appear out of thin air before their eyes, causing them to be extremely shocked.

With such a strange stone tower standing in front of them and the moon already climbing up the branches of the trees, it was not a good idea to climb the tower at this moment.

Gong Shubaan looked up at the stone tower and said: Why don't we rest here for the night and go up tomorrow? It's not easy to act in the dark.

Even if we have to rest for the night, we shouldn't stay here. Mo Zhai stepped hard on the bare ground and said: Ever since we entered the Deer Platform, we have only felt a bit of grievance at the beginning. After that, there were no more grudges to haunt us. This was a strange thing in itself. It was only when I saw this piece of barren land that I realized that the Deer Platform's grievances were all concentrated on the top of this stone tower.

Gong Shubaan asked: So this means that we just need to climb the stone tower and open the Yin Yang Eyes?

Mo Zhai said: Even though what you say is true, the grievances and grievances within a few miles radius must be because of the strangeness of this place.

Gong Shubaan said: Then let's leave the vicinity of the stone tower and find a quiet place to rest for the night. We can come back tomorrow morning when the sky is bright.

With that, the two of them left this barren land and returned to the forest.

Gong Shubaan and Mo Zhai first rode for three days, then they were completely bewitched by the Three-Tailed Demonic Fox, and after walking around for a while, the two of them had not rested for four days. Even though the two of them had a cultivation technique on their bodies, they were still exhausted.

Gong Shubaan found a flat stone board, laid on it and was about to sleep, when he heard the sound of grinding. He opened his eyes and saw Mo Zhai squatting on the ground and digging out fist-sized holes in the ground with his dagger.

Gong Shubaan asked curiously: What are you doing?

Right now, we are in a land of extreme hatred. If we don't prepare to fall asleep just like that, I'm afraid that neither of us will be able to see the sun tomorrow.

While he was speaking, Mo Zhai had already dug out a small hole in the surrounding ground. Gong Shubaan roughly counted. There were a total of thirty-six of them, with a uniform distribution, which coincidentally formed a circle around them.

After that, Mo Zhai took out a dozen more small pieces of wood and threw them into the small cave.

Gong Shubaan got up and moved closer to it, squatting on the ground and inspecting the small piece of wood. He discovered strange lines drawn on each piece of wood. These lines were somewhat similar to the magic charms drawn by the scholars he had come into contact with.

Gong Shubaan asked: What are these small pieces of wood?

Mo Zhai explained: These are all armor talismans that can cut off grievances, I borrowed them from a friend in the clan.

Gong Shubaan asked doubtfully: Can these small pieces of wood really isolate any Qi?

Mo Zhai finally buried all the wood pieces in his hand into the ground. It's useful for him to tell me this. I believe him. He won't lie to me.

Gong Shubaan became even more curious, What is the name of your friend? Where does he live?

I only know that his surname is Li. As for his name, he didn't tell me. His hometown... Hearing his accent, it should be the people of Chen.

...

The slightly cold morning dew accumulated on the leaves, and accumulated on them until too many of them were pressed up against the leaves, and dripped onto Gong Shubaan's face.

Gong Shubaan woke up from his sleep and wiped the water droplets off his face. He opened his eyes in a daze and realized that he was leaning against a tree.

He vaguely remembered that he had fallen asleep on the stone floor last night, but after that night, why did he wake up leaning against a tree?

He looked to the side of the flagstone. There was a man lying on the flagstone, his back to him. He could not see the man's face. But there was only him and Mo Zhai here, who else could it be other than Mo Zhai?

Furthermore, this linen robe looked so familiar.

Could it be that Mo Zhai thought that leaning against the tree wasn't good, and decided to switch places with me? But why don't I have the slightest impression?"

Gong Shubaan was about to stand up when he smelled the stench of blood. He wrinkled his nose and looked around for the source of the smell. He looked around, but didn't see anything strange until he looked down at his own body.

It was bright red!

Someone's blood spilled onto his clothes, dyeing his entire body red. It was as if he had already become a bloody man.

Whose blood is this? There was no feeling of injury anywhere in my body. It wasn't mine. Could it be …"

Gong Shubaan's heart skipped a beat as he looked at Mo Zhai who was lying on the stone slab, Could it be Mo Zhai's?

He was panicking in his heart. Although he was not a kind-hearted person and had seen countless amounts of fresh blood and personally killed countless people, this was still the first time he had encountered such an inexplicable thing.

He anxiously got up from the ground, and with a leap, he arrived beside the stone slab, bent down and flipped Mo Zhai over.

Mo Zhai, why are you … Gong Shubaan had not even finished speaking, he was already stunned by the situation in front of him.

He saw a face that had no face!

In that moment, Gong Shubaan felt that everything in front of him was pitch black, and the surrounding space seemed to be flipped upside down, causing him to feel dizzy and dizzy.

Gong Shubaan stood there for a long time before he took a deep breath to calm himself down. He looked down at the faceless body and mumbled, What's going on? What happened last night? Was this really Mo Zhai? And who killed Mo Zhai?

Countless questions appeared in his mind, but no one could answer them.

The corpse's face had clearly been cut off with a sharp weapon, and there was even a fatal wound on its chest.

Who killed Mo Zhai? Gong Shubaan frowned, trying hard to recall everything that happened last night.

At this moment, he felt that his stiff palm seemed to be holding onto something. He looked down. It was a dagger, the one Mo Zhai had used to dig the earth last night.

One side of the dagger was stained with blood, but because a long time had passed, the blood had already turned into dried black blood. However, the other side of the dagger was not stained with even the slightest amount of blood.

The blood that dripped onto the handle had congealed into a scab, the dagger was tightly stuck in Gong Shubaan's hands, Gong Shubaan was at a loss of what to do.

What's going on? Why was I holding a dagger in my hand? Could it be … Gong Shubaan looked at the dagger, and muttered: Could it be that I killed Mo Zhai?"

He could not believe what had just happened. He wanted to remove the dagger from his palm. Inadvertently, he noticed the bloodless side of the dagger.

On the other side of the dagger, which was as smooth as a mirror, Gong Shubaan saw a face. The face truly frightened him.

That was not his own face, but Mo Zhai's face!

Could it be that the one who died was me?

Just who am I?

Who killed me?

CHAPTER 605 - ILLUSION ILLUSION THE SHADOW OF THE AXE

Seeing that familiar face, Gong Shubaan could not help but shiver.

The blurred reflection on the dagger began to sway from side to side, because his arms were shaking uncontrollably. Even people like Gong Shubaan were starting to get scared.

He could no longer hold the dagger and let it fall onto the stone floor without making any sound.

Gong Shubaan gasped for breath, forcing himself to look down at the corpse again, What exactly happened?

The corpse was still lying quietly on the stone slab, facing upwards. No, it had no face.

Gong Shubaan looked at the familiar hemp clothes, and confirmed that the corpse was him. It was his clothes.

He could no longer suppress the fear in his heart. This fear surged out from the bottom of his heart and submerged him, causing him to suffocate and feel helpless.

He sat paralyzed on the ground, at a loss of what to do …

What's the matter with you? Behind Gong Shubaan, a person's voice suddenly came out.

Gong Shubaan was so frightened by the sudden voice that his hairs stood on end, Could it be that there's a third person here?

He didn't dare to turn his head. Instead, he tilted his head slightly to the side to peek out of the corner of his eye. Behind him, there was someone slowly walking towards him.

In a daze, he could even see that the person was also holding a dagger in his hand.

Who is he? Is he the real villain? Gong Shubaan slowly squatted and picked up the dagger in his hand.

When he raised his head, Gong Shubaan accidentally caught a glimpse of the peak of the stone tower. There seemed to be many people standing side by side, silently observing him.

The man walked closer and closer, until he was right behind Gong Shubaan, who quickly turned around, raised his dagger and stabbed it into the man's chest.

There was no blood, no sound of sharp weapons piercing into flesh. There was only a muffled sound, like the sound of meat striking the chopping block.

That man seemed to be caught off guard. He staggered a few steps back and asked, Are you angry? How come you are tossing and turning so early in the morning?

Gong Shubaan was extremely familiar with this voice, because he had been listening to this voice this entire time.

It was only now that Gong Shubaan could see clearly that the person was Mo Zhai.

Gong Shubaan stared intently at Mo Zhai's face, and said with a pale face, How is this possible!? Are you really Mo Zhai?

Mo Zhai had a face of doubt, he didn't understand why Gong Shubaan would say such a thing, but he vaguely felt that Gong Shubaan was a little out of place.

Gong Shubaan's hands swept around, he wanted to use the dagger to see who he was. After looking for a while, he finally remembered that his dagger had pierced Mo Zhai's chest.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Mo Zhai's chest in panic. There were no bloodstains, no daggers, and nothing that shouldn't be there.

How is this possible! He hastily turned his head to look at the stone slab, only to be surprised to find that the corpse on it had also disappeared.

In that moment, Gong Shubaan felt as if his head was going to split open. He knelt on the ground and stared blankly at the top of the stone tower, as though something was attracting his gaze and summoning him.

At this moment, Mo Zhai had already been possessed by a grievance or evil spirit. He quickly took the black wooden round plate off his neck, bit his finger and dripped his blood on the little person.

The little person quickly swallowed all of Mo Zhai's blood. Not long later, a drop of pure white blood appeared on the round black wooden tablet.

Mo Zhai wiped the pure white blood on the back of his head with his forefinger. Instantly, Gong Shubaan's entire body began to tremble violently. Thick streams of black Qi drilled out from the white skin at the back of Gong Shubaan's head, flying towards the stone tower in the distance.

After approximately an incense's time, the black aura in Gong Shubaan's body was completely expelled and his consciousness also gradually became clearer.

What happened to me? Gong Shubaan said slowly, with an endless weakness in his voice.

Mo Zhai said: Maybe it's due to the grievance, or maybe it's because of the illusion. I'll find out after I take a look.

After he finished speaking, Mo Zhai walked over to the places where he had dug out the holes last night and squatted down to dig out the pieces of wooden armor one by one.

This is good, this is also good …

Every time Mo Zhai dug out a piece of wooden armor, he would have to inspect it carefully to make sure that there were no mistakes. Only when Mo Zhai dug out a piece of wooden armor from beside the stone slab did he stop, walked to Gong Shubaan's side and showed the wooden armor piece to him.

Gong Shubaan looked at Mo Zhai's hands and saw that there was a patch of fox fur on top of the piece of wooden armor.

Mo Zhai sighed: I told you before, if you let that Three-Tailed Demonic Fox go, it might not be grateful to you. On the contrary, it might hate you. Because it was not a human, it was a mutant beast! No matter how human or beast it is, it is still a beast!

Gong Shubaan also did not think that he would actually fall for that Three-Tailed Demonic Fox's illusion once again. At this moment, he was also regretting his decision of letting go of the Three Tailed Fox and saying, If I had listened to you back then, I wouldn't have done such a thing.

Mo Zhai shook his head, and explained to Gong Shubaan: You aren't a Character in the Classic of Mountains and Rivers cultivator in the first place, so you don't know the cunning and vicious nature of those strange beasts. But since you have learned the cultivation technique of the Classic of Mountains and Rivers, regardless of whether you believe it or not, regardless of whether you admit it, you have already stepped into the realm of the Classic of Mountains and Rivers. In that case, you must learn to be stone-cold and to kill. If it wasn't for that, you wouldn't be able to stand up within the Classic of Mountains and Rivers.

Mo Zhai looked at Gong Shubaan's pale face and said with concern: You were hit by an illusion and your True Essence leaked out, causing your Essence to be severely injured. I'm afraid you won't be able to use the Classic of Mountains and Rivers Art for the time being. Do you want to go back outside and rest for a few days before coming back?

Gong Shubaan slowly stood up and said, We've already walked this far. If we return, wouldn't all our efforts be for naught? The faster we go, the better it is. It will be more dangerous if we stay here for one more day.

CHAPTER 606 - CONTRADICTORY SPIRAL OF TRUTH AND FALSEHOOD

Mo Zhai had long heard of Gong Shubaan's unparalleled mechanical skills. During the Chu Country, even though he had seen the colossal thing called the cloud ladder, and had also ridden with such a mystical mechanism beast like the Crane Flying Dragon, he had never actually seen Gong Shubaan do anything personally.

At this moment, Mo Zhai was extremely surprised to see Gong Shubaan taking all the materials and crafting an exquisite walking stick in less than an incense's time with his exhausted
