Chapter 42: Dusk on the Wuhe River (5)

"Illusory, all illusory, only death can witness the truth!" In the town, an old man roared at the sky, he had been trapped in this town for decades, when he first came in, he fell in love with a girl in the town, but every once in a while, he would return to the place where he started to see the girl who didn't know him again. At first, he could numb himself with love, but as time went by, his mind was filled with the idea of going out, and he tried to kill the girl he loved, but everything returned to the starting point, and he met the girl again. And he has also changed from a young man to an old man in this endless repetition.

The old man who roared angrily at the sky immediately drew his sword and killed himself, but, unfortunately, he really died, and he did not come back to life like those illusory people in the town, nor did he see the reality outside.

Over the years, the Dao Ji cultivators who stayed in the town had all understood that this was an illusory world, and everything was illusory except for them who were outsiders.

Some people have tried to find a way out but never found it, some people have tried to follow the plot of the town, but eventually they will return to the beginning, and some have even tried to commit suicide and then really die.

------------

In the wilderness of the town, a boy who looked four or five years old, a fair woman who looked in her twenties, and a drooping and decrepit, the four or five-year-old boy was dressed in a white dress, his hair was loose, and he floated in mid-air with bare feet, and the fair woman in her twenties was dressed in a half-exposed red wedding dress, and a hairpin tied on her head before marriage, which looked very attractive, and the old man was dressed in the blue-gray linen clothes worn by the common people, and was on a cane, and looked like he was about to fall down at any time.

I saw the old man say slowly: "The traitor has come here in advance, we must find and kill him, otherwise it will hinder the Lord's plan." ”

However, when the four or five-year-old boy heard this, he was dissatisfied: "Traitor, I will naturally kill him, but the Lord or something, you are too soft-boned, we are only collaborators with her." ”

Seeing that the two had a relationship of quarreling, the woman in the wedding dress advised: "Okay, don't quarrel, find out the betrayer and kill it first, do you want to be scattered?"

------------

In the garden of a courtyard in the town, Fu Yuntian looked at the sky above his head and was extremely worried, he had been trapped in this illusion for more than ten years, he had never given up looking for a way out, and he had tried many methods, but all of them ended in failure.

But a boy of seventeen or eighteen years of age, dressed in black, holding a blood-colored scythe, and his eyes were red, and he looked extremely dark in the evening.

"What's the matter with Your Excellency?" Fu Yuntian said lightly.

"Well, it's actually fine, I just want to test your strength to see if you're qualified to know the truth. Then the black-clothed young man with a blood-colored scythe in his hand came towards Fu Yuntian to kill.

The black-clothed boy with the Scarlet Scythe's Doji ability is lifestealing and collateral damage, and each basic attack will have a small amount of physical damage, and the damage dealt will be converted into his own health.

However, it was a coincidence that Fu Yuntian's Dao base ability could be forbidden to recover, so the blood-sucking sustained combat ability that the Scarlet Scythe Boy was proud of was deflated by Fu Yuntian.

After a few rounds of fighting, the young man in black gradually lost the battle.

"Now you can tell me your purpose, right?" Fu Yuntian asked.

"Haha, you're strong and interesting, but it's not the time yet, those people are coming, and we'll meet next time. After saying a bunch of strange things, the young man in black left straight away.

------------

"Yu, why do you do this, what does it mean to you?" outside the town, the woman in the wedding dress looked at the black-clothed young man in front of her and asked with concern.

"Haha, do you think everyone is willing to succumb to fate?" The black-clothed young man who had just left Fu Yuntian met the woman in the wedding dress outside the town.

"I have a mission, but I don't want to hurt you, fight me. The woman in the wedding dress said, at first she didn't expect that the person the Lord wanted to kill was actually the king.

The Doki of the Wedding Dress is a whirlwind that deals spell damage over time to the target, and has a knockout effect.

However, after a short fight, neither side could help the other, and the woman in the wedding dress immediately stopped attacking, and the young man in black sneered and said, "Farewell!"

The woman in the wedding dress sighed and did not pursue, and soon after, the boy in white and the old man on crutches also arrived.

"Qian, you still can't let him go, let him go, don't you want to complete the master's task?" the old man said dissatisfiedly.

"He's a little bit better than me, so I can't necessarily stop him. The woman in the wedding dress snorted coldly.

"Who can tell the difference between truth and falsehood, he can tell the truth, why can't we?" said the boy in white with a sad smile.

------------

Today in the town is extremely lively, I heard that there is an old man who already knows how to get out, many cultivators in the town have come to inquire, and the old man simply made a pulpit.

On the pulpit, the old man on crutches told everyone about the fidelity of the Emperor's Road, only to see the old man on crutches tell the story: "The fidelity of the Emperor's Road Sutra is said, the five colors are complete, my eyes are covered, the five tones are beautiful, my ears are deaf, I can only see all things, the shield hides one, the sky punishes my heart, and the truth seeks one."

The crowd didn't understand what this meant, and someone asked, "Dare to ask your seniors, what does this mean?"

But the old man shook his head and said, "This please, you should experience it yourself, the heavens cannot be said clearly, farewell!" Then the old man walked like a fly, leaving the town, and someone tried to stop him but was easily knocked to the ground by the old man.

"White Mirror Water Source Seeking Warm Sun"

Looking at a note hanging on the branch in the backyard, with these words written on it, Fu Yuntian knew that it must have been done by the young man in black at the beginning, doesn't the so-called white mirror refer to the snow mountain, and doesn't the water source refer to the highest one, looking for the warm sun refers to the sunny side of the mountain, and the second refers to the fact that the young man in black is ready to really tell himself the truth, after all, it is the warm sun that is opposed to the snow mountain, and the opposite of the virtual realm is not the truth.

In a snow-capped mountain outside the town, the surrounding rocks were covered with ice and snow, snow-capped, both beautiful and monotonous, Fu Yuntian followed the prompts of the black-clothed young man to a plain on the snowy mountain.

"You didn't disappoint me. From the empty snow-capped mountains came the familiar unruly voice of the black-clothed boy.

Seeing that the black-clothed young man was no longer holding his blood-colored scythe, Fu Yuntian said lightly: "Your Excellency, let's talk about it directly." ”

"My name is Mi. The young man in black was the first to introduce himself.

"Fu Yuntian. Fu Yuntian put one hand in front of him, pressed it on his abdomen, and put the other hand on his back.

Yu walked slowly, approaching Fu Yuntian, then grabbed the snow on the rocks next to him, and said with a light smile: "Do you think everything here is real or illusory?"

Fu Yuntian didn't know why Yu asked such an obvious question, so he replied in a cold voice: "This place is an illusion, everyone knows it, why did Your Excellency ask such a question!"

Fu Yuntian was a little angry, he felt that Yu seemed to be deliberately playing him again.

Seeing that Fu Yuntian was a little angry and not in a hurry, he kept pinching his chin with one hand, swallowed the snow in his hand with the other hand, and said with a smile: "Really?"

Fu Yuntian frowned and said, "The aborigines of this place can all come back from the dead indefinitely, and live according to the rules every day, isn't it illusory?"

However, Yu smiled and said, "Haha, since this place is illusory, why can the aborigines be resurrected, but you can't?"

Fu Yuntian retorted when he heard this: "Coming back from the dead, doing the same thing every day, what is the explanation?"

"Are you sure they're coming back from the dead?" are you sure they're doing the same thing every day?"

Hearing this, Fu Yuntian's head was a little turnable, and he hurriedly asked, "What does Your Excellency mean by this?"

However, Yu said: "There are some important things that I can't say directly, otherwise there will be an irresistible disaster that befalls me, and I can't stay in the same place for too long, farewell!"

Yu didn't wait for Fu Yuntian to stop him and walked away, Fu Yuntian sighed, and returned to his mansion with doubts in his head.

After a long time, the old man on crutches, the woman in the wedding dress, and the boy in white came to this snow-capped mountain.

"Yu is very vigilant, he won't stay in the same place for too long, let's go, next time find a chance. The old man sighed, and then the three of them left the place again.
