Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 167 Stone Array
The wind was whistling in my ears, and I was extremely anxious at the moment, and kept shouting in my heart: Hurry up!Hurry up!
Under the oppression of this life-and-death crisis, I seemed to have broken through the limit of my body, and my speed increased sharply. Even the pain that came from my body from time to time was completely ignored by me. Everything was just to escape!

I was as fast as a gust of wind, with a step of several meters, leaving Cai Yawen and others far behind.

"How far is it?" I asked loudly against the wind, hoping to get some advice from the little girl.

"Soon, it's just ahead." The little girl's crisp voice sounded, and I seemed to hear her muttering in a low voice: "I'm so strange about this feeling, I seem to have encountered it before."

How can I control the little girl talking to herself at this time, I just kept running with my head buried.The "buzzing" sound from behind was getting louder and louder, I couldn't help but look back, and my heart trembled suddenly, in just a few minutes, the locust three-headed strange bird had approached several times. A distance of [-] meters.In Cai Yawen's group, two injured men in black fell at the back and were chased by the locust monster bird.

I saw with my own eyes that three birds made of locusts poked out their heads and grabbed the two men in black. The locusts danced and accompanied by the screams of the two. The big man turned into two piles of white bones and fell to the ground, and the flesh and blood on his body were eaten away by locusts in a few seconds.

I was so frightened that the souls of the dead scattered, how can you fight this kind of monster, no matter how good your martial arts and Taoism are, as long as you are still a body of flesh and blood, it only takes a few seconds for you to be eaten by these locusts.

But just when I was in despair, after climbing a small hillside, I saw a small forest. Through the moonlight, I could see that the trees in this forest were lush and lush, exuding a breath of life, which was in harmony with the surrounding eyes. The desolation and dead silence formed a sharp contrast.

I was very puzzled, knowing that after the locust plague five years ago, all the residents here have been removed by the government, and this mountainous area has become barren due to the existence of locust swarms. Seeing this forest full of vitality in the boundless desolation has to make me feel a very strange feeling in my heart.

"What are you doing in a daze, go in." The crisp child's voice sounded again, urging me to enter the woods.

I gritted my teeth and saw the giant locust bird approaching behind me, so I could only spread my legs and run into the woods. I crossed the distance of [-] meters in a few breaths.

"Gah!"

Just as I was about to approach the woods, I heard a sharp cry from behind me. I looked back and found that the locust swarm had abandoned Cai Yawen and others who had fled and rushed across the night sky, seeming to want to To prevent me from entering this wood.

I cursed secretly, these locusts and strange birds are simply lingering ghosts.I rushed into the woods in a few steps, and a gust of cool wind blew by, cooling my body, and my mind became more sober.

"What should I do next? After those locusts fly into the woods, I still won't be able to run away?" I asked. Fortunately, there was no one around me at this time, otherwise they must have seen me talking to a pile of air. It will feel very weird.

"Go inside, those things shouldn't be able to get in."

I was taken aback and couldn't help asking: "Why?"

"Hehe, what a fool, if those things can fly in, do you think this forest can still be kept?" The little girl's voice was clear and sweet, which lifted my spirits.What she said is indeed correct. This forest can still exist when the surrounding mountains and fields are completely eaten by locusts, which is enough to show the weirdness of this forest. Maybe there is something in it that makes the locusts outside afraid, making them Don't dare to approach.

I calmed down, and carefully took the two girls to the depths of the woods.Before we had run far, we felt that the sky suddenly became dark. Giant birds composed of countless locusts hovered over the forest, blocking the light of the stars and the moon, but they only dared to fly in the sky and did not dare to fly. Fall close to the woods.The "buzzing" sound of the wings was accompanied by the "quack" sound of the gray strange bird from time to time.

I relaxed a lot, and my guess just now was verified. There is indeed something weird about this forest, so that the locusts in the sky dare not approach.It's just that I don't know whether Cai Yawen and others who followed me escaped the claws of this locust monster bird, but I don't care about them at this time.

I gently placed Yaoyao under a big tree, and wanted to sit down and treat the wound, but the two arrowheads left in my body tortured me enough.

"Hurry up, go inside." The little girl's voice sounded, urging me constantly.

I took a long breath and said, "Do you know what's inside?"

"Don't ask, go quickly." The little girl kept talking, her voice seemed a little eager.

I sighed, anyway, she has saved me twice, no matter what is in this forest, she should not harm me.

I picked up the two unconscious girls again, and followed the little girl's guidance to walk deep into the woods.The more I walked through the woods, the more weird I felt. Although the surrounding trees appeared to be full of vitality and lush greenery, there were no signs of other life activities. Not to mention animals and birds, there was not even a single insect, which was unreasonable at all.

"quack!"

The ear-piercing screams echoed constantly in the sky above the forest, and the swarm of locusts and strange birds kept circling in the sky, but they didn't dare to come down, which made me feel much more at ease.

"To the left..." The little girl gave me directions.

I turned around and walked in the direction she pointed. The forest looked small from the outside, but in fact, after entering it, it was like a kind of maze because of the towering trees everywhere. A little dizzy.

Next, under the command of the little girl, I constantly turned around and changed the route.Finally, when I stopped and walked to the destination, what appeared in front of me was a wide flat land. There were no plants on this flat land, only dozens of huge stone pillars stood in it.

The placement of these stone pillars is very strange. From the outside, they form a circle, but when you get closer, you find that these stone pillars are actually arranged according to some mysterious rules, like a kind of complicated Array.They are polished by hand, and they are all regular cylindrical shapes. Each stone pillar is more than three meters high, and it looks like it weighs more than ten tons. Engineering.

"What is this place? Is what you feel here?" I asked the little girl, these stone pillars are definitely a kind of formation, although I don't see any tricks, but such a large formation was used , It can also prevent the locusts and strange birds outside from entering, which is enough to show that this formation is unusual, and there may be something extraordinary inside.

"I don't know, it just feels very familiar, as if I have been here before." The little girl whispered, her voice was very soft, and there was a kind of sadness.

My heart moved, and I immediately asked: "Do you remember what happened to you before? It was before you were put in the red pot. What's your name? How did you become like this? Who put you in the red pot?" What about the one in the red pot?"

Facing my barrage of inquiries, the little girl was silent, and after a long time, she sighed softly: "I don't know, the first thing I saw when I woke up was you, I felt it from you A very familiar and comfortable breath, so I will always follow you."

I was taken aback, the little girl seemed to have lost her memory before entering the red pot for some reason, in my guess, the little girl should feel familiar with the phoenix mark on my left shoulder, and the phoenix mark on her body The golden robe she wears is exactly the same as what Ruochu used to wear. In this case, in my imagination, she should have some connection with the ancient Shu Kingdom back then.

"go in."

I nodded, took a deep breath, hugged Yaoyao and stepped into the range of the stone formation.

When I took the first step into the formation, my body couldn't help trembling, and I felt an extremely weird feeling spread throughout my body. This stone pillar formation seemed to make me understand a kind of mean.

Here, all the goblins are not allowed to approach!
