Chapter 485 Real and illusory, a life that has nothing to do with the main line
"ah!!!"
The old master opened his eyes suddenly, breathing heavily.
Big drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The peach blossom trees hurriedly opened up as if they had been saved.
Zhang Ruosu wiped his sweat and sat up.
Nightmare...
It's simply a nightmare.
Why is this a dream? Fortunately it is a dream.
Fortunately it was just a dream.
Zhang Ruosu breathed a sigh of relief and raised his head.
Wei Yuan sat in front of him and looked at him with a smile.
"…………"
Zhang Ruosu remained silent, but did not change his expression afterwards, and said with a hearty smile: "Fellow Daoist Wei, you are really... look how much impact you left on me, I actually dreamed that you tore apart the Hetuluoshu, hahaha, this
How is that possible...hahaha..."
The old Taoist's laughter became stiffer and stiffer.
Wei Yuan looked at him with a smile, then silently took out a stone and threw it to him.
"Just removed it."
Zhang Ruosu: “…………”
Secondary cardiac arrest!
Wei Yuan added: "It should be a fake left behind by the layout."
Zhang Ruosu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei Yuan leaned back slightly and said:
"I have left behind the host of this secret realm."
"I need you to go take a look. For some reason, I probably have to seal it in Longhu Mountain for the time being..."
The old Taoist feels relieved.
It seems that Wei Yuan is not just here to cause trouble.
The old Taoist wiped his sweat and said: "It doesn't matter..."
"It's okay if I didn't dismantle Hetuluoshu."
Zhang Ruosu came to his senses and asked casually: "By the way, who are you going to imprison?"
The museum owner replied succinctly:
"Kuafu."
"The one chasing the sun."
"???!"
Zhang Ruosu's movements were frozen.
"…………"
The old Taoist priest was silent for a moment, sighed, considered his words, and said in a consultative tone:
"Fellow Daoist Wei, I think..."
"How about we consider demolishing the monument?"
……………………
After Zhang Ruosu was awakened directly from the dreamland of slumber to the level of sobriety like "beating chicken blood".
The two of them returned to the deepest part of the formation.
Just as Wei Yuan expected, no matter how unpredictable Lao Tianshi is, when faced with similar situations, he is more experienced and more reliable than Wei Yuan. Of course, Wei Yuan thinks that he is also very reliable and accurate.
Find the target, and then put the pot...
Ahem, Wei Yuan means to leave the responsibilities to professionals.
The negotiation with Kuafu went very smoothly... No matter what the reason was, even if Kuafu just wanted to retrieve his own memory or find out that the Hetu Luoshu was a fake, he agreed to go to Longhu Mountain.
As for the man in black robe who opened the secret realm of Peach Blossom Spring and attracted most people.
As he was slipping away, he was suppressed by the Heavenly Master.
His sweet dream was interrupted and he had to work overtime.
Successfully entered the superimposed buff of ‘waking up due to work text messages’.
Even the starting point is a bit darker.
It was as if the man in black robe was regarded as some unknown museum owner who was also dressed in black.
He has traveled all his life, fighting back and forth in the world with a sword. He has encountered too many situations like this. After receiving some inheritance, he thinks he is invincible. There are many people who make trouble everywhere. However, this black man
There are other suspicious points about the man in the robe.
Greater probability.
He is just a latecomer, especially after asking Kuafu, he learned that this secret realm has been operating for more than a hundred years, and that this man in black robe only appeared here in the past one or two years.
"Go back to Longhu Mountain. If I had known better, I wouldn't have joined in the fun..."
The old Taoist sighed with regret.
But I also miss the wine in my dreams.
Wei Yuan thought about whether he should go to Gonggong or Wuzhiqi to ask how the sacred wine was brewed in the past, and then brew a few bottles for the old Taoist as compensation, while the people who had been awakened from the dream were still confused.
got it.
Among them, there are couples, lovers, friends, and relatives.
Wei Yuan has already asked what the final evolution direction of this secret realm will be.
"If there are gods, let's put it aside. When there are no gods, this place is just a dream. Even if there are peach blossoms to provide the nutrients needed by the body, the body is not just nourishing. It may be possible as soon as possible.
It only takes ten or twenty years for people to die."
"If the soul is tough enough, or by chance, it may stay in the secret realm of the Gods, but there is a 99% chance that it will dissipate directly, or even be swallowed by the peach blossoms and turn into nutrients. After all, this is the formation of the Gods.
Without the true spirit, it is naturally just a incomplete semi-finished product."
Kuafu's giant spirit answered slowly.
The Heavenly Master straightened his clothes, took a step forward, his voice was gentle, and he had the demeanor of an outsider. There was a Taoist secret in his tone, which could drive away distracting thoughts and make people sober. He said: "Don't worry, I'm a poor Taoist dragon and tiger."
Brother Shan, this secret realm has been broken."
"You have been saved."
Wei Yuan was thinking about the problem.
Then, he saw.
Although it is said that he was saved.
But those who fell into the dream had a look of confusion on their faces. Husbands and wives and friends glanced at each other, and then quickly looked away, looking to a corner of the ground. There was something in the air.
An awkward and speechless atmosphere spread.
Zhang Ruosu's eyes are complex.
The world is miserable.
I don't know why, but the old Taoist priest who has traveled to many places thought of the Taoist scriptures he recited when he was young.
The path of humanity is indistinct, and the path of immortality is vast.
Ghosts are happy.
Ghosts are happy.
………………
But these people were still taken out. After all, this illusion was almost a life exchange for pleasure in just ten or twenty years. Unless a god was willing to take over this place, Wei Yuanliang looked at the appearance of those people and withdrew his gaze.
, holding A Liu’s palm next to him, and said with a smile:
"Aliu, let's go out."
"I'm finally able to leave here. I'll take you to eat some snacks at our place. Let me tell you, my fried noodles and meat sauce are made with very solid ingredients. You will definitely like it..."
As he walked forward, he walked out of the Peach Blossom Spring easily.
But the girl behind her took steps, but couldn't get out.
It was as if there was an invisible barrier in the void blocking her, just like fish couldn't enter the sky and birds couldn't survive in the ocean. The outside world was a huge obstacle to her.
The smile on Wei Yuanliang's face froze.
His eyes widened, and there was a trace of panic after shock.
"This, what's going on..."
He tried hard to pull the girl out, but it was all in vain. He looked at Wei Yuan and Tianshi next to him in panic. Zhang Ruosu took a few steps forward and raised his hand to press it. He was surprised, then fell silent, and the giant spirit praised
Father said slowly: "...she is not a living being."
"What??!"
Wei Yuanliang was shocked, and then retorted almost instantly: "This, this is impossible."
"I have been with her all the way, and she has saved me many times."
"She told me where her home is, what she likes most is the peach blossom tree in the yard, and what she likes to eat is fried noodles. She must fry the peanuts until they are burnt. She is a living person.
, She, she is right here, look, she is..."
Wei Yuanliang stammered and spoke.
Kuafu was silent for a long time. The ancient hero reached out and put his hand on the young man's head, covering his eyes and said: "She is a human being, but she was once a human being."
"She is the shadow of a person, the trace left by the people who have been here before."
"It's like looking in a mirror and leaving a reflection."
"It's just that this is the secret realm of the Age of Gods. Such a reflection has the ability to move and think freely under the formation of the Age of Gods, but... the reflection cannot leave the mirror, and she cannot leave the formation of the Age of Gods. The power of the current formation
Gradually disappear, and she will return to the fantasy world."
"And if you stay here, you will die in less than ten years."
"You have to leave..."
Wei Yuanliang found that he was no better than the child who had just cried because he wanted to leave.
He tried hard to explain, this is a living person, right, she is there.
But it was of no use.
His voice was hoarse and a little tight, but it was of no use. In the end, he was pulled back by Kuafu and suddenly fell silent. Watching the girl A Liu disappear from sight as the secret realm closed, he suddenly
It exploded, trying to rush over like a beast on the verge of extinction.
Finally, Kuafu pulled him back.
He seemed to be unable to bear it, but finally said in a deep voice:
"……you are human."
………………………
The secret realm of Peach Blossom Spring is closed.
But in the Eight Hundred Miles of Peach Blossom Land, Kuafu is only responsible for guarding the stone monument, not this secret realm. And because of the existence of the God's Age Formation, there is no way to seal it with Taoist talismans and formations, so he has to use stupid methods to raise the line of defense.
There are more than a thousand people who encountered the illusion inside.
For thirty-one days, the Longhu Mountain disciples worked up and down for a long time, erasing the remaining evil spirits of the Peach Blossom Spring Formation from their bodies so that they could return to their normal lives.
But it didn't work.
Many people who have been treated and recovered risk being caught.
He secretly broke through the blocked level and rushed into this secret realm of the Age of Gods.
Longhu Mountain had to choose to send disciples to patrol frequently in order to solve this matter. In the end, when the monks of Longhu Mountain discovered that even Taoist disciples who had been practicing since childhood would be swept into it, they had no idea about this matter.
Things are taken more seriously.
For disciples who inhale the Peach Blossom Evil, their Taoist heart will be almost completely destroyed.
There is no way to fight against the suffering in the world.
Therefore, machines and puppets are responsible for bringing people out.
After Wei Yuanliang returned to the world, he discovered that he was not the genius in his dream, but an ordinary person. He found that he could not overcome the many hardships in life. Most of them were just sleepiness and exhaustion, and there were also quarrels with his parents. I don’t know.
Is it because of the existence of Peach Blossom Spring?
He found that he could no longer tolerate his own mediocrity and the boredom of life.
In this world filled with countless people, I am extremely ordinary.
Jealousy, self-loathing, despair...
The more painful the world is, the more he misses the Peach Blossom Land. Perhaps it is because he has experienced the beauty of the Peach Blossom Land dream that he feels the pain of the world more, and misses the young girl A Liu more and more.
Finally one day, he came to Peach Blossom Spring again.
With a little bit of success in body skills and swordsmanship, he got in. After a short time, the peach blossoms that were originally extinct have been restored. He spread his arms and hugged the lush flowers with a smile.
Peach blossom, when the peach blossom was in full bloom, he saw his dream again.
The sect that lives in seclusion, and the girl in the dream.
Here is the reality...
"Didi didi..."
"Patients with peach blossom evil spirits were found..."
The sound of the machine came, and in front of it was a young man who was tenderly bound by countless peach blossoms. A satisfied smile appeared on his pale face. It was just strange that when the machine was about to carry out rescue, the peach blossoms suddenly appeared.
Opening it, the young man who was supposed to be sinking into a fantasy world suddenly staggered and fell to the ground.
Wei Yuanliang knelt on the ground, coughing violently.
I coughed until tears came out.
He was the first person to take the initiative to break free from the interference of the deep illusion.
But no one knows why——
He was pushed out by the girl.
The girl's anger after the surprise seemed to flash before his eyes. Seeing her stretch out her hand to push him out of the illusion, Wei Yuanliang couldn't bear the evil energy rushing through his meridians and fainted.
Wei Yuanliang, who woke up in the hospital, looked at his parents and just cried silently. After he recovered, he went to the hometown that A Liu once told him about, which was a very old courtyard, for the purpose of relaxing.
, the peach tree grew very tall, its branches stretched out, and even grew to the outside of the wall.
Wei Yuanliang stood blankly outside the door and stared for a long time.
There was a squeaking sound.
The wooden door was opened from the inside.
An old woman who only reached Wei Yuanliang's shoulders and wore a long cotton skirt walked out slowly. She was wearing reading glasses. She seemed not to have thought that there was someone outside. She was startled and looked at Wei Yuanliang curiously, "Young man."
, who are you looking for..."
Wei Yuanliang's palms trembled, "I, I just came here to relax."
He didn't know what to say, so he blurted out:
"The peach trees in your yard are growing really well."
The old lady was stunned for a moment, then smiled kindly and said, "Yes."
"Ever since I got lost once when I was sixteen, I have become very good at planting peach trees when I came back."
"Young man, are you here to find someone?"
Wei Yuanliang stammered: "No, no, I just took a look."
The old man said gently: "That's it."
She looked at this strange young man and said with a gentle smile: "Want to come in for a walk?"
"I don't know why, but I always think you are very kind."
At this time, a long time had passed since he entered the secret realm. It was probably spring and summer. Wei Yuanliang helped tidy up the peach trees in the entire yard and ate a bowl of noodles with soybean paste. The old man wore glasses and said with a smile: "Here,
If you don’t mind it, give it a try..."
"Oh, my family is used to frying the peanuts until they become the focus when making fried noodles."
"I don't know if you are used to it."
Wei Yuanliang's palms trembled, but in the end he just buried his head and ate the noodles with big mouthfuls.
After saying goodbye, he walked out the door. A neighbor happened to come home and asked the amiable old lady:
"Ah? Granny Liu, who is that? A relative of yours?"
"I do not know……"
The old lady replied: "He is a kind-hearted stranger."
Wei Yuanliang turned his back to her, strode forward, and shed tears happily.
That is the shadow left by people in Peach Blossom Spring.
Kuafu said this.
After that, Wei Yuanliang seemed to be a different person. He studied swordsmanship and martial arts seriously, and lived a serious life. However, he never talked about marriage. Apart from that, there was nothing to criticize, and even
In that era, this was not a problem. He was kind, skilled in swordsmanship, and a good neighbor.
But one day, a long, long time later, his neighbor suddenly discovered that the old man next door had disappeared and quickly called the police.
When I opened the door, I found that the table was wiped clean.
The garbage has also been taken out.
This is a story of an ordinary person that is recorded in a museum in the distant future and that no one cares about.
Illusion or reality, what is ‘real’ for people?
Is illusion worthless?
Is the truth absolutely correct?
Everyone has a different answer.
only,
Maybe sixty years later, maybe seventy years later.
The gray-haired Wei Yuanliang stood in the peach blossom garden.
He stepped into the fantasy of Peach Blossom. The fantasy inside was exactly the same as before. There were small bridges and flowing water, and it was a hidden sect. The girl with her back to him was startled for a moment, then turned around and saw the old white-haired swordsman.
, Wei Yuanliang raised his sword and cut off the peach blossoms, and the falling flowers suddenly turned into the appearance of his youth, grinning and saying:
"I'm here to find you..."
"Aliu."
ps: The third update today... 4,600 words.
Reality and illusion, how to choose... Ordinary people care more about the choice. I originally planned to write about Wei Yuanliang falling into hallucination, but I felt that that was not good, so I wrote more.
