Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 286 The Disappearing Screen

The mask is hot.

Fang Yao has noticed it since entering the tiankeng, and it gets hotter the further you go down.

When she came here, her face was burning a little uncomfortable.

At this time in the past, she had already become a walking light source, but now, there is no golden light flashing.

This is not normal.

The curtains of the dark purple carriage shook slightly, and a light yellow shadow flashed through the gaps.

Fang Yao withdrew her gaze very quickly, pretending not to know that the person inside was watching her secretly.

She seemed to look around unintentionally. The tiankeng was located at a low level and at the foot of the leeward slope of the main peak of Tianqi Mountain. The cold wind in the valley outside was howling, but the inside of the tiankeng was especially calm.

Fang Yao sniffed again.

So there was a smell nearby, and she was aware of it all at once.

It's just that the smell is so faint that no one else notices it except her.

"Wang Wang..."

Rhubarb's threatening bark sounded, Fang Yao turned her head, and the dog was fluffing up again, staring at the dark purple carriage uneasily.

It growled for a while, and when no one responded, it simply jumped out, rushed to Fang Yao and Yang Gao's legs and bit the corners of their skirts.

"Hey, you have no conscience, give you good food and drink on weekdays, why are you biting my clothes!"

Yang Gao patted Rhubarb's head unhappily, but Rhubarb bit it harder.

Fang Yao's heart moved, and sure enough, besides her, Gouzi also noticed it.

Rhubarb's reaction...was stronger than before.

"Second Young Master, Yiping County Mistress...is she alright?"

Fang Yao asked tentatively.

The second young master waved his hand, forced a smile and said, "It's okay, we'll wait here, maybe we can meet Tongtian Lukai."

"..."

Still thinking about Tongtian Road.

Fang Yao was speechless, just about to say something, suddenly a slightly weird voice came from behind the dark purple curtain.

"Second brother, come here."

The gentle female voice in the past was now so hoarse that it shocked Yang Gao.

The second young master hastily took off the water bag on his waist, and walked over quickly, "Sister, please stop talking and drink more water."

Fang Yao smelled the faint smell of blood, and immediately raised her foot to follow.

But after taking two steps, the Second Young Master suddenly turned around and said to her: "Fang, Master Fang, you better not come here..."

"Oh."

Fang Yao stopped, frowning, turned around and walked towards the altar after a while.

Yang Gao looked at the dark altar, and led Da Huang back to the carriage to find the lantern.

Fang Yao didn't go too far, she looked around carefully while walking.

Miasma is everywhere outside, but under the Tiankeng of Tianqi Mountain, the miasma is surprisingly light.

From the moment she entered the tiankeng, her mask became slightly warm, but did not emit golden light. This abnormal situation really worried her a little.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, she walked a little further away from the dark purple carriage, and then took out the booklet.

I thought that at this time, there should be some clues in the booklet, and it is very likely that it is the altar of heaven in front of me.

But as soon as she opened the booklet, Fang Yao almost threw it out in fright!
hot!
A scalding heat wave rushed towards the face, and the cool air above the booklet instantly exploded into a cloud of white mist, making a slight squeak.

Fortunately, Yang Gao was still at the side of the carriage, and the dark night prevented others from noticing it.

Fang Yao endured the steam-like heat wave, and quickly fanned the fan to disperse some of the water vapor.

"hiss……"

The new picture in the brochure made her gasp.

The ink Gu worm that was like flowing ink two days ago was struggling frantically on the rough, dark yellow paper at this moment.

It seemed to break free, but was pulled back by an invisible thing the next moment.

Groups of black bubbles rise and fall, explode and close again, really like boiling black ink!
Fang Yao carefully turned a page forward again, when suddenly Rhubarb's cry came from behind her, and she was so frightened that she quickly closed the booklet.

Quickly stuffing the booklet back into the inner jacket, her little heart was still beating wildly.

Not to mention the appearance of any ancient altar in the brochure just now, even the previous pictures have all disappeared, turning into a piece of rapidly beating "ink"!
"Master, what are you looking at?"

Yang Gao followed with a newly lit lantern, which just illuminated the entrance of the nearby altar, and walked a few steps there curiously.

The entrance is a stone step carved by later generations, with ladders on both sides, a total of nine steps, with left dragon and right phoenix carved in the middle, surrounded by auspicious clouds.

A few large iron chains thick as thumbs are tied to the pillars below the stone steps to prevent people from going up to the altar at will.

There are two thick stone pillars in the middle of the altar, the whole body is black and bright, glowing dimly in the dark night, they are clearly the two pillars emitting black and white smoke in the phantom of the mountain mirage.

Yang Gao didn't like this thing very much, so he took a few steps back holding the lantern.

On the contrary, Uncle Wang and the others who had wandered around in a circle walked around to the stone steps and looked inside.

"Hey, it's exactly the same!"

"I didn't expect that even the gods would offer sacrifices at the altar of heaven, but this rare spectacle, which is rare in a hundred years, happened to a few of us..."

"I just don't know where the Tongtian Road is!" Uncle Wang began to stomp his feet again, "If I had the courage to go forward just now, I might have...hey..."

These few people talked about luck, but all of them were full of remorse.

Fang Yao could guess their mood, probably thought that she was so close to becoming a fairy...

Yang Gao was very disapproving, "Our master said, it's all fake, it's an illusion."

Uncle Wang and the others obviously didn't believe this, and one of them said: "It's an illusion, but who has the ability to let us all see this illusion?"

"That's right, I'm afraid it's not only the gods who have these abilities, so how can it be said to be fake!" Another person echoed.

Yang Gao was squeezed out, so he didn't rush with them, he just shook his head, "You don't understand even after I tell you."

Uncle Wang and the others looked at each other with complicated expressions, then walked back in a low voice.

"They won't believe it."

Fang Yao sighed, and then asked curiously, "Yang Gao, from your tone, you seem to understand?"

Yang Gao looked around, walked to her side, lowered his voice, and said worriedly: "Master, I suspect that we people have been poisoned by some kind of incense or poison, just like those people in Qingshen Mountain who thought they saw the mountain god. ..."

He took out the excuse that the altar in the phantom was exactly the same as the one in front of him, and compared what the people on Qingshen Mountain imagined to be gods after being poisoned, and came to such a conclusion.

"Master, do you think my guess is correct?"

"Uh...it really looks like that."

Fang Yao was silent for a moment, then nodded.

She couldn't explain the refraction of light to the ancients, and it was very rare for Yang Gao to be so enlightened.

Moreover, this phantom is indeed strange.

"By the way, Master, there seems to be something wrong with Yiping County Lord." Yang Gao pointed to Da Huang, "Do you want to go over and ask what's going on?"

"Shh..."

Fang Yao stared at the ancient totems around the altar, clenched her fists secretly, and whispered, "Her problem is serious, don't worry, let's try...to delay."

And in the dark purple carriage.

The Yiping County Lord accidentally overturned the water bag, and the cold water dripped on the blanket in the carriage.

"oops!"

The Second Young Master hurriedly bent down to pick it up, wanting to go out and find someone to clean it up, but just as he turned around, he was caught by a pair of Bai Shengsheng's hands.

The cold air made him shiver.

"Third sister, you..."

"Second brother, help me." The eyes of Yiping county magistrate were slightly gray, "We grew up together, and because of the same blood on our bodies, do you have the heart to watch the third sister die..."

The second young master's face was pale, with trembling lips, he said with difficulty: "You... what did you say?"
