Unexpectedly, Keqing just looked at Cheng Yi, then pointed at him and motioned her to look at her feet.
"what?"
Cheng Yi lowered his head inexplicably, only to find that he was moving his hands and feet like a duck.
"!!!"
"It seems like it's really affected!?"
"No way!"
Others noticed the change in him, too.
Keqing intensified the burning of her divine power without leaving a trace. The flame of the wick suddenly surged, and the light covering the entire lamp became brighter.
If you look closely, you can see tiny golden threads mixed in with the lights of the Taichu Jiuhua Lanterns. These golden threads are intermittent, as tiny as hairs, and fall on everyone's body, making them undetectable.
However, it was this slight change that made the unaware monks suddenly realize their own abnormality.
"How could this be! My hand..."
Some people found that their hands and feet suddenly turned into a fish tail.
"My eye got bigger and there's a fish eye inside it!"
This is some panicked monk.
Their cognition is influenced and distorted little by little, witnessing their own changes.
The boiling blood in the chest sings a low murmur; white gangrene hatches in the beating heart, joyful songs dance in the mind, and the skull shatters inch by inch.
Keqing naturally also noticed these changes, including herself.
However, these interferences that seemed real and fake could not spare her at all. Perhaps it was because she had experienced the direct invasion of the evil god after the world was upgraded, or perhaps it was because she had become the world consciousness, or perhaps it was because the little Yuanying had grown.
Her understanding of her true self became more and more complete, and she was clearly aware of her own existence, every strand of hair, every pore, and every drop of blood.
It is also because of this that the external erosion of solid cognition and true self resistance seems out of place in the current situation where everyone is assimilated.
"help me……"
"Fairy..."
Chapter 649: Notice (4 more)
The evil fish that melted in the blood fountain let out malicious cries, the huge moths fixed on the dry bones revealed their hideous mouthparts and buzzed, and the miserable cries for help turned into countless malicious intent.
All people were assimilated into weird creatures, except her, who stood out from the crowd, like the breeze and the bright moon. She held the lamp in her hand and stood there quietly. The evil wind passed by, stained with the stench, but she was like a green mountain that never fell and a river that never stopped flowing.
Keqing looked at this scene, her slender jade fingers gently.
"Ding~"
Knock on the glass lamp in your hand.
It is like the clearest sound in the world, like a wisp of fresh breeze or a half-ounce of cloud floating in the wind.
The world seems to become wider, all troubles are far away, and all joys, sorrows, anger and happiness are transformed into a melodious and crisp bell sound, tinkling with the clearness of summer and the gentleness of spring.
The restless heart suddenly calmed down. At this moment, it seemed that neither life nor death could cause any ripples in people's hearts.
"I, I'm back..."
"Really! My hands and feet are fine!"
When they came to their senses, the monks found that their condition had returned to normal and they were intact.
"If your mind is not at peace, you will naturally be easily affected by the weirdness that is everywhere."
"You're too scared and nervous."
Keqing said softly.
For some reason, everyone couldn't help but feel a complex emotion of unbearable shame when they heard this calm voice that seemed to be narrating but also had a slight rebuke in it. Even Cheng Yi couldn't help but fall into it.
But he soon realized what was going on!
Little did people know that Keqing, as the world consciousness, naturally possessed the most determined will, and she unknowingly brought some subtle little abilities into her casual words.
"So, it's because we are weak-willed and impatient that we fall into the trap?"
"That's right..."
As Keqing nodded, everyone looked at each other.
"Yes, is there any way to solve it?"
The situation just now was still vivid in their minds, and they were really scared.
The thought of myself turning into a giant moth, with unknown insect eggs breaking out of my body, made me itchy unbearably.
The sense of reality was so suffocating that they were afraid they would become the broken one.
The moth fell helplessly on the ground as its larvae broke out of its body.
Fortunately, everything is fake, it's all an illusion.
However, Keqing knew that this was both false and true. If you really thought that you would be broken out of your body by the insect eggs, then you would really be broken out of your body.
This is the horror of rules, seemingly true and false, yet switching back and forth between truth and falsehood. If you fall into the trap accidentally, you can only hope that your firm will can help you escape, otherwise you will just become a wisp of weirdness and become a part of the weirdness unknowingly.
"Is there a solution? Actually there is."
"Yes!? What can we do?"
Seeing everyone looking at her excitedly, Keqing silently took out a pill.
"Qingxin Pills, do you want them? I can give you a discount."
Since your mind is not calm, there will naturally be opportunities for you to take advantage of.
"Qingxin Pills work!?"
They all took out Qingxin Pills from their storage bags and swallowed them. In an instant, a rich and refreshing feeling moisturized their whole body. Unconsciously, the anxious feeling in the group suddenly subsided, and the whole person became peaceful and serene.
"This Qingxin Pill is really effective..."
"Yes, my restless heart has calmed down all of a sudden. I feel like the effect of meditation has increased several times now."
"It is indeed a top-grade Qingxin Pill..."
Looking at them, even Cheng Yi subconsciously swallowed a Qingxin Pill to taste it. Well, everything really became peaceful, and it felt like he could become a Buddhist practitioner without any problems.
Keqing put the Qingxin Pills in her hand back into her arms with a look of regret. It was a pity that she didn't sell it.
Even so, she didn't really want to sell it.
The journey ahead was much better, but there were more than one strange rule. Changing your cognition and leading you to death was just one of them. There were many more weird and twisted rules wandering around.
Some rules just don't allow you to talk or blink, but you can get by as long as you follow them.
However, some rules have fatal power that makes it hard to guard against. For example, walking will lead to death, breathing will lead to death, and body movement will lead to death. These twisted and abnormal rules with obvious malice make the monks miserable.
Fortunately, everyone is a cultivator, not a mortal, and they still have a certain ability to resist these rules, so they have not reached the point of certain death.
After all, the weirdness is not a whole, but a mixture of countless weird and distorted rules. There are innumerable weird and distorted rules in it, and the range it can cover varies, and the natural abilities also vary.
The simpler the rules, the easier it is to kill people and the more targeted they are, the weaker their abilities become. On the contrary, those with vague triggering conditions and vague ability ranges, the stronger their abilities become, the easier they are to fall into.
So what is scary is not the thing itself, but that you are simply unable to detect it, and don’t know how to break through the distortion and weirdness in it and know its taboos.
So many people fell into the trap along the way. If Keqing hadn't stopped it in time, they would have fought each other and fallen into endless suspicion and unrest.
I thought it would get more dangerous as we got further along, but surprisingly, the danger disappeared.
Because Keqing had resolved crises several times before, everyone had more faith in her. Whether she suddenly stopped talking or suddenly changed direction and took a detour, they didn't say much, but followed closely. Could this be the reason?
Everyone was wondering if Fellow Daoist Keqing could sense those wandering strange things.
Since it is weird, of course it cannot be seen or touched. Some weird things are just simple rules, silent and invisible, while some have the ability to move and can appear in front of people.
Some are hideous and twisted creatures, while others may just be ordinary and inconspicuous things, like the endlessly multiplying rabbits that I saw when I first entered the strange place.
The strange danger may be in the contact with Him, or around Him, or simply in Him Himself. It is really unpredictable. Even just seeing His existence will inexplicably trap you in the other party's twisted rules and unable to escape.
However, Fairy Keqing's strange behavior seems to make her feel those strange existences. Could it be that she can really perceive those existences?
But after the previous experience, speaking would turn into the sound of a crow, and the crow's cry would cause strange fingers to come out of their mouths, which was disgusting and weird. No one dared to speak nonsense, and just signaled with their eyes.
Fairy, can you sense something strange?
Keqing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and nodded.
As expected, the fairy could detect the weirdness in the weirdness! She was overjoyed.
However, Keqing just thought that these people were asking her if she was safe and if they could talk.
Can't monks transmit messages through voice? Why do they have to use eye contact? Is there something strange that restricts the soul?
Ke Qing was confused.
She moved the Jiuhua Lantern in her hand to investigate, but she didn't feel anything strange. However, there was an extremely chaotic situation a hundred meters to her left. As long as she didn't touch it, there would be no problem.
Yes, as everyone thought, Keqing could indeed sense the presence of abnormalities.
She could still vaguely feel the previous words, but with the latter words, she could already vaguely determine the direction and size of the abnormal rules.
She obviously hadn't felt this way before.
Moreover, the Taichu Jiuhua Lantern can also increase her perception. Mo Qing has a guess about this. Either when she was stared at by the evil god before, she underwent some subtle changes during the confrontation, and her perception of abnormalities became stronger. Then, as Zizi experienced more, this perception also became stronger.
Another possibility is due to the particularity of world consciousness. Although this world consciousness is only of a small world, a small world is also a world. At least so far, it is good enough for a cultivator to own a small world or a secret realm.
But a secret realm is a secret realm, it is just a larger space, and the world consciousness of a small world is always somewhat different. Perhaps it is because it is nourished by rules and origins, and is more sensitive to the existence of abnormal rules.
Just like that, they sometimes retreated, sometimes turned, and sometimes stopped along the way. Keqing's strange behavior made everyone believe that the other party did have the ability to sense abnormalities. They didn't know whether this ability was brought by magic weapons, such as the other party was better at using magic weapons, or because of some other reasons.
Some people look at this Diao Mu. If it is really brought by a magic weapon, then Fairy Diao Mu...
However, unexpectedly, Diao Mu did not react at all. Even the people in Guiyi City were worried that their young city lord would do something wrong, such as snatching back the Taichu Jiuhua Lantern.
It seems that the young city lord really understands the overall situation.
But how did they know that Diao Mu had already "betrayed"?
They moved forward with some bumps along the way but they were safe and sound. Finally, with the appearance of a little light, they took a step forward and the thick gray fog disappeared, replaced by a broad view of daylight and the presence of familiar faces.
"It's finally out! I don't think I'll ever encounter a guile again in my life!"
Some people howled to the sky, venting their frustration.
"Yeah, I made it out alive."
At this time, Keqing immediately handed the Taichu Jiuhua Lamp to Diao Mu, which surprised others. They didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward.
[What a pity. Such a good treasure. I can feel that its ability is not only to protect, but also has many other uses. The owner just gave it away like this. ]
Keqing didn't care.
"No matter how powerful the treasure is, it's not yours. If it's not yours, it's normal to return it."
[If you clearly want it, Diao Mu would have given it to you. It's such a pity that you can't get it when you can.]
"What's a pity? I'm lucky if I get it and I'm doomed if I lose it. What's not mine will never be mine, and what's mine will be mine sooner or later."
Keqing is very open-minded.
It's just a lamp. I already have Li Xi, so there's no need to be so envious.
She did not have a strong desire for external things. She was not like others who, upon finding a treasure, would want to snatch it away and treat it as their only golden finger. They would want to rely on that thing to complete their journey of cultivating immortality.
I don’t know whether I am cultivating my true self or the treasure.
"They're back!"
At this time, the teams in groups of three or four outside also noticed that their people had come out and rushed over.
"Are there just these few people? Nothing happened, right?"
Mo Hong asked, seeing that there were only a few people from Tianheng City in front of him, where were the others?
"Oh, waiting here is just a waste of time, so we decided to leave some people outside to wait for you, and the others will go with Tianyi City and Lingyun City to hunt evil spirits. When we have more source energy, we can exchange more things."
Keqing, who was standing by, suddenly felt a little weird when she heard this.
Yes, source energy...
Unfortunately, the source energy can no longer be exchanged for anything. After all, the guy with the Book of Heaven and Earth has been captured by me.
