The four walls are towering, the gate tower is majestic, the terraces are lined up one after another, the pointed towers reach into the sky, the grand Taoist temples are solemn, the wide and straight streets are crisscrossed, and there are thousands of people... What a magnificent city!
Looking into the distance, there is still a vast desert all around, with no life at all; but in the middle is a prosperous city, full of vitality. How could Su Jing not be surprised by such a strong contrast. And what is revealed in this contrast is,
Isn't it a bit cunning?
The Black Eagle began to descend slowly, and Su Jing asked tentatively: "Brother Black, are you there?"
The black eagle Lingrui crowed softly, seeming to answer 'yes'.
Su Jing was thinking in his mind. He had heard that practitioners would choose secluded places to enlighten themselves in order to seek peace and quiet. He never expected that the 'ancestor' would settle down in such a big city. However, there is a city in the middle of the desert with no water veins and no oasis nearby.
, the more prosperous the city is, the more evil this place will be...
The black hawk deliberately chose a remote corner in the city to land, which did not arouse any surprises from others. Su Jing rode the hawk for more than half a month and was finally able to put his feet on the ground. He felt indescribably happy, but he jumped off the hawk's back.
As soon as the soles of the shoes touched the ground, he suddenly let out a cry of surprise, shook his body and almost fell to the ground.
The reason why I couldn't stand firm was not because my legs and feet were soft after riding for too long, but because the ground was soft. When someone stepped on the seemingly hard stone road, it turned out to be as soft as sand, and the boy's ankles were broken.
This situation was abnormal. Su Jing was stunned. He stood firmly on one foot with his right leg and slowly pulled out his left foot. The bluestone slab under his feet was like a shadow in the water, ripples appeared slightly.
After restoration, the bluestone remained the same, looking hard and cold.
Take a closer look at the shoe on your left foot. The sole, upper and even the inside of the shoe are filled with fine and dense yellow sand, which has been heated by the sun.
Su Jing took a few steps tentatively, and the feeling coming from his feet was clear. He was stepping in the desert. If the young man realized something, there happened to be a big tree next to him. He tried to stretch out his arm and press it, but his hand was light and soft.
Without the slightest feeling, he pressed his hand into the tree trunk. At this point, Su Jing finally understood that this big city and everything in front of him were just a fleeting image and an illusion.
The young man turned out of the corner and walked towards the street, with Liuliang following closely behind him. At this moment, the monster was also full of surprise. While looking at the lively scene in the city, he exclaimed: "As far as I know, there are many phantoms in this world.
magic, but at most a dilapidated temple, a small forest... It is unheard of for the ancestor to activate the mirror phantom of a large city so easily. It is the legendary mythical beast mirage that is good at changing shapes. I am afraid it is also
It may not be possible to have such magic power! It’s just... where can the ancestor’s magic power be?”
Su Jing's expression was so confused that he couldn't be more confused. He originally thought that after getting off the eagle, there was a mountain in front of him, and there was a temple in the mountain. In the temple, there was an old Taoist sitting in a black robe, but he never expected that he would come to a big illusory city.
.Where can he find someone?
The black-robed spiritual shadow has not appeared since he surrendered to Liuliang. Su Jing tried calling twice but no one responded. Liuliang whispered to him to give him advice, but he did not dare to say directly: "
Or...I remember...the little ancestor was committing suicide when he called out the ancestor last time."
Su Jing disagreed. What if it doesn't work this time?
At this time, Su Jing suddenly trembled. A man passed by him and bumped into him accidentally.
Su Jing was immediately overjoyed. He knew that this city was an illusion, but the man who really bumped into him was definitely a real person. There must be a mystery in this. He immediately chased after him, but when he walked onto the street, he
I was shocked to find that...all the people walking shoulder to shoulder, touching hands and feet, and passing by were actually real, living, real existences.
Some people thought he was reckless and glared at him; some were generous and just laughed when he touched him; some had alert eyes and stretched out their hands to ward Su Jing away before he touched them.
At this moment, Liuliang was no longer surprised, but looked like he had seen a living ghost. His voice could not help but tremble slightly: "This... this city is illusory, but the people are real? He, what are they doing here?
live?"
On the bustling street, people have different expressions, some are in a hurry and have something to do, some are frowning and thinking, some are smiling and chatting with their companions. There are merchants and customers in the shops on both sides of the street, carrying goods.
Bargain.
Su Jing and Liuliang went out to test it out. All the scenery in the city, even the vegetation, flowers, birds, and livestock, were all illusions. They could pass through without tentacles, but people were the only real ones...
Fantasy city, real people.
The people in the city don't know that they are in an illusion, and they are living... in a serious way.
Although Su Jing was very courageous and Liuliang was well-informed, being in such a strange situation, goosebumps could not help but appear on their arms.
Su Jing shook his head. No matter how weird the situation in front of him was, it had nothing to do with him. It was important to find the black robe as soon as possible. He didn't care about so many things at the moment. He stretched out his hand to grab a passerby: "Sir, may I ask..."
Unexpectedly, this person was in an emergency, so he said impatiently: "My wife is seriously ill, and I'm in a hurry to get some medicine!" As he said that, he pushed Su Jing aside with a flick of his arm. Su Jing said it didn't matter.
'You're reckless', so he planned to ask someone else again, but when Liuliang saw the man push someone, he immediately thought about it, stretched out his hand to grab the passerby, and said with a sneer: "My little ancestor can ask you, yes
The blessings you have gained through three lives and five lifetimes..."
As a result, before the monster could finish what he said, the man repeated: "My wife is seriously ill, and I'm in a hurry to get some medicine!" As he spoke, he waved his arms and tried to push Liuliang away. Liuliang's strength was so strong that he couldn't help it.
How can an ordinary person break free from it?
The passers-by kept struggling, but they kept repeating, 'My wife is seriously ill, and I am in a hurry to get medicine.' Over and over again, back and forth, it was just this sentence, and nothing else was said.
After repeating it several times, Liuliang roughly understood that there was probably something wrong with this person's brain, otherwise how could he say this sentence? Of course such a person would not know where the ancestor was, so he immediately let him go.
, followed Su Jing again and asked other passers-by, but...everyone on the street had only one thing to say!
"The weather is nice today, it's a good time to parade."
"Liu Yuanwai's grandson is one month old, and a flowing banquet has been set up in Zuixian Tower. I have to go and have a drink with him."
"Jinse Cloth Shop has posted a notice, and today another batch of good silk and satin arrived. The price is very cheap."
"Butcher Zhao is not a good person. The meat he bought from me smells bad. I'm going to argue with him. If he doesn't admit it, I'll have to drag him to see the official!"
…
Along the way, Su Jing stopped countless people to talk.
Everyone can speak, but just like the man whose "lady is sick", everyone has only one sentence in their mouth, each one is different, but it is just one sentence, no matter what Su Jing asks or what he says, they will always stick to that sentence, even in
When speaking, the expression on the face is also repeated.
The strangeness gradually turned into gloominess. From Su Jing's eyes and ears, it gradually fell into his heart, then spread out, slowly blended into his blood, and was carried to his limbs. Unknowingly, the young man's hands and feet were a little cold.
At this moment, an eight or nine-year-old child in a red robe suddenly ran out from an alley. He bumped into Su Jing's arms, and then the child fell to the ground with a wail.
The opponent ran very fast, and Su Jing was hit by him and staggered back two steps.
Protector Liuliang was eager and hurriedly helped the little ancestor steady, and then took a step forward. It seemed that he wanted to shout something to the little baby, but when Liuliang took a closer look at the little baby's appearance, the words in his mouth were about to
The outpouring of curses suddenly turned into an exclamation: "Little...little, little ancestor?!"
It's the little ancestor, not the little ancestor.
At this moment, Su Jing could see clearly. Although the person lying on the ground was just a little baby, without wrinkles or beard, his facial features looked very much like his black-robed benefactor, except that the baby was wearing a fiery red robe.
Just like my benefactor when I was a child.
The kid in red robe ignored Liuliang, patted his butt and stood up, bowing respectfully to Su Hang: "I bumped into sir because of my impetuousness. I'm sorry."
Su Jing wasn't sure whether this 'little ancestor' could only say one sentence, so he didn't change the subject at the moment. He just shook his head and said politely: "It doesn't matter, it's okay. Are you hurt from the fall?"
"I'm fine, it doesn't hurt at all." The boy in red robe smiled, but immediately took another step and blocked Su Jing's path, as if he was afraid that he would run away, and continued: "I have already apologized to Su Jing.
You, it’s your turn to apologize to me now.”
After arriving in the city, apart from Liu Liang, the only person who said the second sentence to him was the 'Little Black Robe Ancestor' in red robe.
