Chapter 40 Li Wu’s Journey to the Illusion (3)

 In the early morning of the third day, Li Wuduo asked for some food and left home early.

This time he didn't bring a basket.

Li Wu wandered around the streets for a while, and after hesitation he went to Mine Yishan.

Today's Mine Yishan is still deserted, and since someone really dug out the Fei Jade yesterday, no one has come to this Mine Yishan.

It's not that Li Wu couldn't understand everyone's mentality, but he still felt that it was wrong to do so. But today he came to mine and move mountains not because he didn't want to go to Yigu, but because he told Li Shuang that he would

Come.

It’s important to keep your promises.

When Li Wu found Li Shuang in the mine tunnel, she was huddled in the corner of the bed, covered with a thin quilt. The mosquito repellent incense beside the bed was only half burned, and there was dust on the ground.

One mosquito repellent incense cannot last the whole night. Li Shuang probably got up in the middle of the night and lit another one.

It’s not surprising that there are many mosquitoes in a mine like this.

‘Since it’s so hard, why not just go back?’

Li Wu looked at Li Shuang's sleeping face and didn't quite understand what she was doing. Even if he didn't want to marry that person, he didn't necessarily need to use such a method.

Girls are really difficult to understand, he thought.

Li Wu put the food he brought next to the bed, but turned around and left without waking Li Shuang.

The reason his mother gave him was to buy cloth, so he really planned to go to the city to buy some cloth.

Reputation is very important. This is what Li Wu has been taught since he was a child. Since his mother told his father that he should buy cloth, he would really buy it.

He told Li Shuang that he would come today, so he would really come.

Also, he promised Yun Xi and everyone that he would not...

"Huh?"

Li Wu hesitated for a moment, feeling that he had forgotten something.

What did he forget? Li Wu pondered for a long time, wondering what he had forgotten.

……

Outside the secret realm, the noise suddenly sounded and spread throughout the Zhutian Spiritual Field.

Everyone stared closely at the floating light curtain, their eyes widened.

In the light curtain, there was a red bar, and the green light on it began to gather crazily, surpassing all other players in an instant.

"This is?"

Everyone was shocked.

Where Fengyun County was, everyone looked at the light curtain in shock. Xu Fan from Fengyun High School was surprised and said: "What's going on? Why did Li Wu's energy bar increase so much all of a sudden?!"

This was a development that was beyond everyone's expectations. Li Wu's energy bar surpassed everyone in an instant and gathered directly to three-quarters, leaving only the last short distance to victory!

Yun Xi and others were also full of confusion: "We don't know what's going on."

The previous Yongming gave an explanation: "It's Li Wu, he is vaguely aware that there is something wrong with the world he lives in."

This is the first time that the Tianling Award has adopted this competition system, but it is not uncommon to use illusions to test people's hearts. Many high-level martial artists and those within the Tianling Alliance often use this method to test or train cultivators.

Many people with experience in this matter have noticed the current situation. Li Wu in the dream must have realized something, which is why his energy bar skyrocketed.

As if to prove their guess to everyone, while everyone was in shock, a picture turned, showing a sleeping Li Wu.

The projections in the light screen are all the mental illusions of the fifteen players. Their bodies are actually sleeping. But now in the scene of Li Wu sleeping, he should be sleeping peacefully, but he frowned slightly.<

/p>

Being in a trance and being able to realize the existence of the problem in the illusion shows that Li Wu's willpower is extremely firm.

However, this kind of fluctuation only lasted for a moment and then calmed down.

In the illusion, Li Wu thought for a long time and still couldn't figure out what he had forgotten, so he had to continue to the city to buy cloth.

Everything fell into peace again.

However, the tranquility at this moment could not eliminate the previous fluctuations. Countless people exchanged looks, and everyone was surprised by Li Wu's changes.

A ninth-level warrior can actually produce mental fluctuations in the illusion, which shows his firm will.

For such a situation, the happiest person is Qi Feng High School. Li Wu is already a long way ahead of others. With his character, he will not make any mistakes in the future. It can be said that there is a high probability that they will

Win first place in this game.

This is an unexpected surprise.

In contrast, Yuhuan University is a little embarrassed. They have already lost a first place, and they are about to lose another first place.

If this continues, wouldn't it be possible for them to finish second in the group?

The No. 1 seed from the main county only finished second in the group. This has not happened before in previous Tianling Awards, but that was because the opponent was the second seed from another main county and also had considerable strength.

As for Qi Feng High School, what everyone knows about them is that they have two middle-stage spirits.

But judging from the current performance, maybe... everyone has underestimated this team that seems to have a much greater reputation than strength.

On the main stage, Wei Huating carefully sipped the tea in the cup. There was a hint of astringency in the fragrance, and after swallowing it, it seemed that the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth, overflowing with fragrance.

"Not bad."

He said with a slight smile.

……

After Li Wu arrived in the city, he walked towards the tailor shop. In his mind, he actually wanted to buy some better cloth for his mother, but he knew his mother's character very well.

If I spend a little too much money, I'm afraid she will be very angry.

After buying the cloth, Li Wu hesitated for a moment, then bought some new clothes and put them into the storage ring.

After walking out of the store, he was about to go home, but he saw a figure that made him a little concerned.

"Li Genbao...what is he doing here?"

Li Genbao is the man who picked up the scarlet jade that Mr. Li said. It cannot be said that it is strange for him to come to the city in broad daylight, but his sneaky appearance makes people a little bit concerned.

After Li Wu hesitated for a moment, he still chose to follow.

As Li Genbao came to a corner, Li Wu suddenly heard slight footsteps. He quickly held his breath and hid outside the corner.

Soon, there was a conversation in the corner.

"Commander Liu, everything you asked me to do has been done. Here, you gave me Feiyu."

"Yeah. That's right. You didn't run away with anything. It seems you are quite honest."

"Hey hey hey! Then Commander Liu, look at my reward..."

"Take it, and remember not to tell anyone about this! Otherwise... you have already seen Li Erzhuang's end."

"Yes, yes! Even if you beat me to death, I will never tell anyone!"

"Take this gold and get out of here!"

"Thank you, team! Thank you, team!"

The sound of footsteps came, Li Wu tapped his toes lightly, and he landed lightly on the roof without making a single sound.

Li Wu poked his head out from the roof and saw Li Genbao running away quickly with a bulging bag in his arms.

He did not act rashly, but waited for a few minutes to make sure there was no one in the corner before leaving.

Walking on the streets of the city, Li Wu scratched his head.

‘What do those conversations mean?’

Li Wu was very confused.

……

In addition to the picture, the light curtain can also clearly display the sound. All those present are cultivators and can clearly identify the source of the sound.

At the place of prayer, Dongfang Yao took Nangong Yao's arm: "Junior brother, little junior brother, what does that conversation mean?"

Nangong Yao has long been accustomed to his senior sister's inquiring character, and explained: "Obviously, that Li Genbao didn't actually dig up any Feiyu at all, it was just a good show he directed and acted."

Dongfang Yao nodded and continued to ask: "Then why do you want to act like this?"

"Well..."

Nangong Yao thought for a moment and came to no conclusion, then he looked at Yun Xi.

Everyone also looked over, even Yunfeng and Qin Susheng looked at her with interest.

Yun Xi was watching the game seriously, and inexplicably received many meaningful looks. She blinked her beautiful Kazilan big eyes, and just when she was about to pretend that she didn't know anything and pass the test, she heard a voice that deserved a beating.

The voice came.

"Hey, there shouldn't be anyone who is the leader of the team and doesn't know what the team members are going through, right? No, right?"

Yun Xi immediately glared at Xiao Lingyuan, who looked like a dolphin with her small mouth and bulging cheeks. She stretched out her hand to pinch her bulging soft cheeks and said helplessly: "Do you still remember that Li Erzhuang?"

"Li Erzhuang..."

When everyone was thinking about it, Feng Weiyan from Fengyun High School came over and said with a smile: "Is he the person who asked about Li Wu's father before?"

Everyone immediately remembered that on the first day after Li Wu woke up, he met a man who was going mining on the way to Yigu. At that time, the man asked them if they had seen a man named "Er Zhuang".
p>

I guess it's Li Erzhuang whom I mentioned in the conversation just now.

Ye Nianhan said softly: "It seems that Li Erzhuang is probably dead?"

It is not difficult to judge from the conversation just now that this person named Li Erzhuang may have encountered something unexpected.

Yun Xi said noncommittally: "Just speaking of my own speculation, you should still remember the rumors about someone picking up Fei Jade in Yigu."

Feng Weiyan said: "This is natural. If it weren't for this rumor, Li Wu and the others would not go to Yigu to mine."

Yun Xi said: "Since Li Genbao's collection of Feiyu was directed and acted by himself, this means that this rumor is probably false. There is no Feiyu in Yigu."

"But since there is no Feiyu, why do you have to direct and act like this?"

Feng Weiyan was still asking, but judging from his appearance, he should have guessed the outcome of the matter just like Yun Xi. He was just cooperating with Yun Xi by asking this.

Yun Xi smiled knowingly and continued: "Of course it was to cover up the place where Feiyu actually appeared. When the news about Feiyu's presence in Yigu came out, everyone went to Yigu, so where was the space left?"
p>

"It's the mines that move mountains!"

After Yun Xi reminded her, everyone immediately reacted.

Yun Xi nodded: "According to my guess, the person who first discovered Feiyu should be Li Erzhuang. He discovered Feiyu in the mine, but for some reason did not tell others, and then accidentally exposed the matter.<

/p>

This person named Captain Liu or the person behind him became greedy for Feiyu. After killing Li Erzhuang, he was worried that Feiyu would be discovered by others, so he spread the rumor that there was Feiyu in Yigu. In order to make the rumor become a

In reality, they bribed Li Genbao to direct and act in such a play.

Of course, this is just a relatively sunny speculation. In fact, there is a darker one..."

Yun Xi smiled, but had no intention of continuing.

But after hearing her explanation, everyone suddenly understood it now, no matter how they didn't understand it before.

Ye Nianhan thought about it for a moment and said: "It seems that the place where the Feiyu was really discovered was in the Mine Mountain. Team Liu planned to attract everyone else to Yigu, and then secretly mine the Feiyu in the Mountain. It's true."

A good plan."

If the miners in the town were still mining in Yishan, it would be difficult for them to do it, and it would be difficult for them to guarantee that no one would discover Feiyu again. Therefore, this arrangement may seem complicated, but it is reasonable.

But...

"But Li Shuang is still mining and moving mountains!"

Someone exclaimed.

Yun Xi spread her hands helplessly: "It depends on whether Li Wu can find the problem. If he doesn't find the problem, that's it, but if he does, his choice will be crucial."

This is a competition that tests one's will and character, not one's IQ. Even if Li Wu fails to figure out the secret behind it, it will not have any impact on his energy bar.

After hearing Yun Xi's words, everyone became quite nervous.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at Li Wu in the picture, hoping that he could find out the clues.

It's just a pity that if Li Wu's brain was really that good, he wouldn't be nicknamed Li Dazhuang by everyone.

After thinking hard for a long time and failing to come to a conclusion, Li Wu directly chose to give up thinking.

This made many people disappointed with him.

After all, he is a person who can shake the illusion.

But soon, Li Wu proved to everyone with his actions that in many cases, solving problems does not necessarily require only using your brain.

……

"Li Wu? Why are you here?"

When Li Genbao met Li Wu on the way back to town, he was obviously stunned.

Li Wu didn't intend to talk to him, so he said straight to the point: "I heard the conversation you just had with Commander Liu. If you tell me what's going on, I'll let you go."

"Otherwise..."

Li Genbao's face suddenly turned pale, and he showed an extremely ugly and twisted smile: "Li Wu, what are you talking about? Why didn't I understand?"

Bang!!

The big tree on the roadside fell down.

(Dashu: Are you polite?)

"I said! I'll tell you everything!"

Li Genbao gave up quickly.

Li Wu retracted his fist, glanced at the fallen tree, and held a moment of silence for it.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Li Genbao explained honestly: "That's it, before..."

He told everything he knew.

It turned out that he and Li Erzhuang were the two people who discovered Feiyu in the first place. They were both very excited after discovering Feiyu deep in the mine.

Li Erzhuang feels that this matter should be made public, and everyone should collect it together and sell the Fei Jade they get for money, which can help the entire town improve their lives.

But Li Genbao thought that this matter should be kept secret, and the two of them could just enjoy these jade to themselves. After all, this is an unspeakable and huge wealth.

Besides, this is their discovery, why should they share it with others?

The two had a dispute over this aspect, and finally decided to calm down and discuss the matter in detail one night later.

And that night, Li Genbao contacted Captain Liu.

What happened after that was just as Yun Xi guessed. Team Liu killed Li Erzhuang and spread the rumor that there was Feiyu in Yigu. All this was to cover up the real Feiyu.

After hearing this, Li Wu stared angrily and shouted: "You killed Uncle Erzhuang just because of this dispute! You are really...!!"

Li Genbao's behavior made Li Wu feel extremely angry!

When Li Genbao saw Li Wu getting angry, he knelt down and cried: "Ah Wu, I didn't know it would be like this. I just want Captain Liu to help lock Er Zhuang up for a while until I finish picking the Feiyu."

I just let him out. I didn’t want to kill him at all! It was Commander Liu, he was the one who had the desire to kill! I really didn’t want to kill Erzhuang! You have to believe me! I really... really

I didn’t think so..."

The sound of crying could be heard on the road, and Li Genbao cried heartbreakingly. It didn't look like he was faking it.

This scene fell into the eyes of countless viewers, causing a burst of sighs.

Yun Xi sighed softly: "He told Li Wu everything without reservation, and I'm afraid he regretted it after it happened. All sins were caused by greed."

At this moment, Yun Xi thought to herself that maybe this year's Tianling Selection could teach everyone more than everyone imagined.
