2.

Wenhua Jiayuan Community, downstairs of Building 3.

"Master, the situation is not right, Senior Brother Liu has been gone for so long and hasn't come down, it shouldn't be that something has happened, right?!" a disciple of Penglai asked in a low voice to Yuxizi.

Yu Xizi frowned: "It shouldn't be, Liu Feng has been close to him for so long, if there is any problem, he would have been tested a long time ago, there is no reason to be found out at this time...... Could it be that the scourge surnamed Lin has been pretending to be stupid all along, and tricking us into revealing our feet first?!" Thinking of this, he suddenly felt his heart sink down, and hurriedly shouted: "No, go up and have a look!"

The group had been waiting impatiently below, and after listening to the order of the master, they rushed into Building 3 one by one, and they didn't know how to use the elevator, so they walked straight up the stairs of the six-story building and came to the door of Room 601.

Yuxizi's face was gloomy, and he said in a muffled voice: "Go and call the door." One of the disciples stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the others lined up behind him, each with his hand on his blade, ready to rush in and fight the people inside.

The disciple who knocked on the door handed the long sword in his hand to his fellow doorman, straightened his clothes, and then stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, knocking and saying, "Yes, there is a ......" He was about to say "Is anyone there?"

The disciple turned around and hesitated, "Master, this ......"

Although Yuxizi had doubts in his heart, he was not too rude, so he said: "You stand here, ask two more questions, and if there is no answer in the room, we will go in and have a look." ”

The disciple poked his head inside to see the general situation in the suite, but saw that it was empty, and asked loudly, "Is anyone there?"

The suite was quiet, and still no one answered.

Yu Xizi raised his hand: "Go in and have a look." ”

Penglai people rushed in, only to see that this is a standard apartment suite, three bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen and one bathroom, cleaned quite neatly, giving people a warm feeling. Just when Yuxizi wanted to order the people of Penglai to search carefully in this room, she heard a "click", as if the deadbolt sounded, and a girl wearing a Bluetooth headset and a suspender nightdress opened the door of the room and poked her head out, looking at the people in Penglai in the living room with puzzled eyes: "I'm sorry...... Are you calling the door? I can't hear well with headphones. ”

The disciples of Penglai Realm all looked at the girl at the door of the room, not only because the nightdress she was wearing was too revealing, but also because they felt strange - obviously they were all shouting so loudly just now, she actually didn't react at all, but it suddenly appeared at this moment, which was really a little strange. But they also gave an explanation, saying that they didn't hear it when they were wearing headphones just now (although they didn't know what the headphones were, probably the one she was wearing in her ear).

Yuxizi coughed lightly, stepped forward, put on a kind look and said, "Hello, may I ask ......"

No one knew what Yuxizi wanted to ask, because the girl interrupted him with a faster speaking speed: "I see that the Hanfu you are wearing is of the same style, should you be a member of Liu Feng's Hanfu Club...... No, this uncle doesn't look like a student, so you must be a teacher!"

A Penglai disciple said blankly: "What are you talking nonsense ...... this little girl" Before he finished speaking, Yuxizi pointed at his acupoint with his backhand, making him speechless, and then said with a smile: "That's right, I am Liu Feng's teacher in the Hanfu Club, and these people are also our members." As he spoke, he turned his head and glared fiercely at the fast-talking disciple.

The disciple was glared at by the head of the sect like this, and he also knew that he was talking too much or saying the wrong thing, and he was suddenly silent (anyway, he was dumb and couldn't speak), and stood upright on the spot, not daring to move, for fear that he would accidentally do something wrong again.

The girl smiled: "It seems that Liu Feng has invited your entire club here." ”

Yuxizi patiently talked with her about these things and didn't have them, and smiled at the moment: "Yes." ”

"Then you seem to be late, five minutes ago, Liu Feng and Lin Xiao went out, saying that they were going out for a supper together and then coming back. The girl said.

Yu Xizi's brows suddenly furrowed: "They went out?"

"It's out. The girl swore awkwardly.

Yuxizi said: "Impossible, five minutes ago he asked us to wait for him downstairs, we waited downstairs and didn't see him come down to pick us up, so we found it according to the address he gave before." ”

The girl said nonchalantly, "That's because you're waiting for the wrong door." ”

Yuxizi couldn't help but be stunned: "Waiting for the wrong door?"

"In order to make it easier for residents to enter and exit, each apartment building has two doors, A and B, one in front of the building and one in the back. The girl said, "Could it be that you were waiting for him at Gate A and the two of them went out through Gate B?"

Yuxizi groaned, and really thought about this problem. There was suddenly such a girl in this suite, Liu Feng definitely couldn't attack Lin Xiao here, most likely he wanted to ask him out and do it while the two of them were alone;

In this way, Liu Feng should have asked Lin Xiao out for a long time, maybe he has already succeeded, and he is on his way back.

Thinking of this, Yu Xizi felt that her mood was much better all of a sudden, and she didn't even feel so annoyed when she looked at the girl, so she politely arched her hand and said, "Since this is the case, then we won't bother anymore and say goodbye." ”

The girl probably thought that this was a unique way of communication in their club, and was amused to giggle, and then she also learned from him to give a fist and salute, saying, "Slow down and don't send it!"

Yuxizi turned around and glanced at the disciples behind him, and the people in Penglai exited the suite one after another, Yuxizi's team walked last, raised his eyes and looked around, and saw the half-drunk cup of green tea on the table, and smelled the fragrance of tea in the living room, and suddenly his eyes widened, as if he remembered something, and shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Everyone in Penglai was shouted by him, and they all stopped and looked at him in unison, the girl was going to go back to the room, but she also stopped at the door of the room at this time, and turned around to look over.

Yuxizi pointed to the cup of leftover tea on the table and asked, "Who drank this?"

The girl said disappreciatively: "Oh, this is what I poured for Liu Feng when he came here just now." ”

Yuxizi said: "I see that the brown color of this tea is good, can you let me take a closer look?"

The girl's face suddenly changed slightly, and she said, "This teacher, if you also want to drink tea, I can go to the kitchen again and pour you a glass, don't drink the leftover half a cup." ”

"Don't bother, I'll just take a look. Yuxizi laughed dryly, went straight forward and picked up the half cup of residual tea, raised it to his eyes to look at the green tea leaves, and then leaned to his nose to smell the refreshing fragrance of tea.

The girl watched his movements, her body tense as if she were facing a great enemy, one of her hands behind her back, her fists clenched tightly, and her nails buckled into her palms.

Yu Xizi took the cup of tea and looked at it for a long time, then nodded and said, "Yes, a good Longjing." He put the cup of tea back on the table, and suddenly added: "It's just that this tea is mixed with 'Tu Dip Dew' in it, which makes it seem more fragrant than enough, and not mellow enough!"

The girl's face turned completely gloomy: "Do you know what you're talking about?!"

"This sentence should be asked to you by this seat!" Yuxizi's eyes widened angrily, and he let out a long roar, and all the disciples of Penglai behind him drew their blades and pointed directly at the girl at the door.

"Who the hell are you?How can you have the unique secret medicine of the Soul Chasing Pavilion of the First Building?!!" Yu Xizi asked repeatedly, the true qi naturally circulating in his body, and an invisible layer of coercion was released on his body.

The girl had a grim smile on her face, and then burst out laughing as sharp as the tip of a knife, piercing everyone's eardrums. Suddenly, a black mist rose from the suite, and the girl's figure disappeared into the mist, and the black mist continued to spread, instantly enveloping everyone in Penglai.

Yuxizi shouted: "Quick! Everyone hold their breath, cover their mouths and noses, beware of the poison in this smoke, don't inhale it! Everyone is moving closer to me, beware of being broken by the enemy!"

But after a long time, there was still no movement in the smoke, but the black mist gradually dispersed, and then a clear light fell overhead. The people in Penglai looked up and saw that the black fog slowly dissipated, and a moonlight fell from the sky, illuminating the four directions.

Gone were the old neighborhoods, apartments, and suites, replaced by a grim wilderness, and a huge building—rusty iron gates, iron railings overgrown with vines and creepers, yellowed and blackened walls, and huge, worn red cross carvings.

"It's a deserted hospital. ”

A voice suddenly sounded in the ears of everyone in Penglai, Yuxizi jumped out of the crowd, and with a "Zheng" sound of the long sword unsheathed, he shouted: "What kind of ability is it to pretend to be a ghost, and you have the ability to come out!"

A breeze blew lightly, and the girl's figure appeared ten paces away, her suspender nightdress had been replaced by a black corset, and she held a long sword in her hand.

Yu Xizi said with a gloomy face, "Who are you?"

The girl smiled slightly: "Lethe River Netherworld, the Dharma Protector under the Soul Chasing Pavilion is poor, Yun Mengyao." ”

"Who should I be, there will actually be a 'Tu Lu Dew', it turns out to be the god of the Soul Chasing Pavilion. Yu Xizi sneered: "I have heard that the ghost has made the gods to be accompanied by strange beasts all the year round, so I think that coming here is the illusion you created!"

"As I said, it's a deserted hospital. Yun Mengyao said, "As for the illusion, Your Excellency is half right-you are indeed living in the illusion these days, and only this moment is the most real!"

Yu Xizi's face changed suddenly: "What do you mean by this?!"

"Don't you think it's strange yourself?" Yun Mengyao said with a sneer, every word she said was like an incomparably sharp knife, stuck into Yuxizi's trembling heart one by one. "The Triple Building is so big, why can you find out all the information about Lin Xiao smoothly as soon as you come? Why was Lord Sword Idiot able to cut open the void in the Quadruple Building for Lin Xiao, but at this time he was left alone in Jinghai City......? You guys are mixed in this era, with strange clothes and strange actions, but none of them have ever expressed curiosity or suspicion about you - you know, when the people from the screen door arrived in the Forbidden City after dark a few days ago, they were on Weibo's hot search!"

Yuxizi trembled, not only because of the anger she felt after being deceived, but also because of a fear from the bottom of her heart: "So, all this is a game laid down by you?!"

Yun Mengyao laughed, and her laughter was full of mockery: "I'll tell you the truth - this place belongs to the suburbs of Jinghai, I have created a tailor-made illusion for you here in advance, you have been wandering in this suburb for the past few days, and you have never stepped into the city of Jinghai for half a step!"

"No, it's impossible!" Yu Xizi shouted hysterically, "How high your cultivation is, how can you manage such a big illusion?!"

Yun Mengyao sneered: "Ignorance, have you ever heard of the 'Mirage'?"

"Mirage?" Yu Xizi didn't have the heart to think about it anymore, just repeated the other party's words blankly.

"The scientists of the Mireu believe that the mirage is a natural phenomenon formed by the refraction and total reflection of light, and it is a virtual image formed by the light reflected by objects on the earth and refracted by the atmosphere, and its essence is an optical phenomenon. Yun Mengyao said, "Their understanding is not wrong, it's just that their horizons are not broad, so what they don't know is that 'mirage' can be either an optical phenomenon naturally generated with the help of a specific geographical and physical environment, or a ...... An illusion created by something!"

Yuxizi said, "I don't understand what you mean. ”

"Many people only know the word 'mirage', but they don't know the meaning of the word 'mirage'. Yun Mengyao said unhurriedly, "The so-called 'mirage' is actually a kind of mussel creature - a small clam, a large mirage, a meso, and a mussel. In the ancient books, it is said that the ancestor of this mussel creature is actually a 'mirage' in the 'nine sons of the dragon', but later after the failure of the catastrophe, it was punished by heaven, and then it became a mussel, which is a 'mirage'. Legend has it that the breath exhaled by a mirage is called a 'mirage', and this breath will produce illusions when heated, thus forming a mirage. ”

After speaking, Yun Mengyao raised her arms and stretched her hands forward. Yuxizi didn't know what she wanted to do at first, and then realized that she was going to see the thing she was holding in her hand for herself—

It was a small bronze tripod with a round belly, and wisps of colorful light smoke were rising from it.

"Do you know how the 'Battle of Sealing Demons' was fought thousands of years ago, when Lin Xiao was still the sect master of the Sword Sect?" Yun Mengyao continued, "This matter has only been written in the history books of the cultivation realm. I also learned only after I came into contact with the people of the Sword Sect - back then, Lin Xiao used the Great Ding to refine the mirage and set up the 'Sea City Great Array', making everyone who was away from the Heavenly City think that they were still in the Eternal Night Realm, and then led them to the shore of the East China Sea step by step, opened the gate to the ruins, and sealed most of the people of the Demon Sect!"

Yuxizi finally understood: "So...... Everything that has happened these days is just an illusion that you have refined with mirage!" He used all his strength to restrain himself desperately, so that he could say this sentence without the slightest trembling.

Yun Mengyao sneered: "Even if the Ethereal City comes to the Triple Building, it is also the same with hands and eyes to the sky, and with the help of the Purple Sun Divine Sect, it is even more powerful. From the moment you stepped into the triple building, someone was staring at you. The next rounds, you have to enter if you don't enter. You think you're in control, but it's the opposite - you're the rat being toyed with by the old cat!"

Yun Mengyao looked at the people in Penglai who were almost collapsed, and smiled playfully: "You guys were very confused about why the Soul Chasing Pavilion cooperated with Ethereal City - now, you should know, right?!"
