Chapter Twenty-Three: Illusion
"Xiaoqing, come out for dinner"
Liu Qing suddenly heard a familiar voice in the courtyard outside.
"Mom?" Liu Qing was overjoyed, and immediately threw all the doubts in his heart out of his mind. Ran out into the courtyard.
As soon as he opened the door, Liu Qing found his mother Wang Lan eating in the courtyard, and when she saw that she had come out, she immediately looked at her kindly.
"Mom~" Liu Qing shouted, rushed forward, and hugged her mother in her arms. His nose was sour, and he closed his eyes to enjoy the taste of affection.
And the mouth kept shouting repeatedly: Mom, Mom, Mom......
And Wang Lan hugged her son tightly as soon as she came up, looking at her son's sad appearance, although she felt surprised in her heart. But he immediately comforted Liu Qing.
She stretched out her hand and gently patted Liu Qing's back and said, "Child, it makes you miserable outside, and it is your parents who are useless and can't give you a rich family and life, so you can suffer this great grievance outside." As she spoke, Liu Lan also choked up slowly, her eyes reddened.
"No, no, no, I don't blame you and Dad, it's the son who is useless, and the son who can't make it. Liu Qing saw and heard her mother's choked voice, and hurriedly let go of Wang Lan, reaching out to wipe the moisture from the corners of her eyes.
At this time, a deep voice came from the side, "Okay, anyway, Qing'er won't go out in the future, you and your mother will have time in the future, come and come, eat first", Liu Qing's father Liu Bei walked from the side, and said with a smile as he walked.
"Dad~" Liu Qing turned around and shouted at Liu Bei.
"Okay, let's not like women, hurry up and eat", although Liu Bei was very touched when he saw Liu Qing's mother like this, but in order to maintain the image of his strict father, he pretended to be strong.
Liu Qing smiled knowingly, and he already knew his father's character. It's no longer hypocritical. Quickly took care of the bowl and ate with his parents.
Under the breeze, a row of cyan tiled houses stood like a landscape, and from time to time a burst of laughter came out from one of them. The door is made of wood, and as time goes by, its original color has gradually become invisible, and when you enter the gate, a lush courtyard is presented to you. A square table, three chairs.
Liu Qing and his parents ate warmly, but I don't know why it was Liu Qing's illusion, although this meal was just as delicious and delicious, but he felt that he was missing something important, I don't know if it was an illusion or something.
In this way, Liu Qing lived with her parents carefree. It's just that every day before going to bed, Liu Qing always stands in front of the window and looks out the window at the moon that is extraordinarily big every night. His brows were furrowed, as if he was entangled in something, which made him conflicted.
A little fat man named Xiao San'er often comes to his mind when he wears a red belly pocket. He also always heard a person named Liu Qing say in his ear that he had not fulfilled his promise to him.....
"I'm sorry!"
Liu Qing, who was lying on the bed, muttered, closed his eyes in pain, grabbed the sheets tightly with both hands, and a few tears slipped through the corners of his eyes.......
I don't know what day it is, it's still a familiar courtyard, or a familiar meal, Liu Bei and Wang Lan are still distressed for Liu Qing to hold the dishes, Liu Qing looked at the sharp dishes, and frantically pulled the food into his mouth. Some of them fell to the ground.
"Woo, woo, woo......" Liu Qing's whole body trembled, and he blocked his sobbing mouth with rice, but tears rolled out uncontrollably.
Liu Bei and Wang Lan were watching their son eat fragrantly with tender eyes. But the next moment they found their son crying.
Wang Lan and Liu Bei immediately stood up, ran to Liu Qing's side, and hurriedly asked Liu Qing with worried and distressed faces, "Son, what's wrong? Is it that Mom and Dad have done something wrong? Don't cry, when you cry, Mom's heart is like scissors piercing." ”
Seeing Liu Qing crying in pain, Wang Lan couldn't help crying anymore.
Liu Bei next to him also hurriedly comforted: "Yes, son, don't cry, what's the difficulty, what about Dad, ah? Dad is a farmer, he doesn't understand anything, he doesn't have anything, but the cropper has the strength, if someone embarrasses you and someone bullies you, no matter who he is, Dad will definitely find him desperately." ”
"Ah~ahhh
shouted: "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry for you, it's useless." ”
Wang Lan saw Liu Qing in such pain, and hurriedly hugged Liu Qing in her arms, and said with tears in her eyes, "Son, don't cry, what are you talking nonsense, you have always been the pride of me and your father, do you know, no one can compare to you in your mother's heart."
Next to him, Liu Bei was red-eyed, and stretched out his hands to hold Wang Lan and Liu Qing's mother and son tightly in his arms.
A family of three cried bitterly and hugged each other.
After a long time, Liu Qing calmed down.
He called Wang Lan and Liu Bei to sit on the stool, then took a step back and knelt down, and banged three heads at Wang Lan and Liu Bei.
Then he raised his head oozing blood and calmly said to Liu Bei and Wang Lan, "Dad, Mom, thank you, thank you, I want to stay here all the time, stay here all the time, even if this is a dream and it is illusory, but Xiao San is waiting for me, Liu Qing is still waiting for me to fulfill my promise to him, I can't be selfish, I can't break the appointment with the people who care about me and those who love me." ”
After Liu Qing finished speaking, Liu Bei and Wang Lan in front of him took a deep look at Liu Qing, slowly turned into ashes, and then were gently carried away by a gust of wind.
And then the world swirled. Liu Qing fell into endless darkness again.
Outside. "Liu Qing, wake up, Liu Qing ........" Xiao San anxiously called out to Liu Qing
"Whew, whew, whew," Liu Qing suddenly opened his eyes and breathed in a big gulp.
"Huh~ Great, you finally woke up, I thought I was going to change someone" Xiao San'er watched Liu Qing wake up, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"How long has it been?" asked Liu Qing.
"Half an Hour"
"What, it's only been half an hour?" Liu Qing looked incredulous. After all, I have been in the illusion for at least half a month.
"What about that? It's all said to be a fantasy, it's not a matter of a moment, okay, don't waste time, hurry up and set it up. ”
"Okay," Liu Qing replied. Then follow the instructions of the junior to set up a position.
Half an hour later.
"It's finally done." Liu Qing shouted happily. When the eyes of the final array were placed, each array suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and then like a tornado, the whale sucked the surrounding evil qi, as the evil qi became more and more, Liu Qing felt that the surrounding gravity was getting stronger and stronger, and the pressure was getting stronger and stronger.
Then there was a buzz, and it slowly returned to its original state, the only thing that changed, the evil qi around the hill disappeared cleanly, and there was nothing left.
"Okay, now that the big array has been formed, all that remains is to think about how to attract the people of the Thousand Swords Sect. Xiao San said to Liu Qing.
"Look at me. Liu Qing replied and turned to leave.
Somewhere in the Beast Mountains.
"Alas, do you say that this elder is sick, and it is not good to let it go and cultivate comfortably in the sect? It is because Ouyang Kun's scum came out of this fierce beast mountain range to catch the murderer, and the father of the people is not in a hurry, look at him? The Thousand Sword Sect disciple complained.
"Not really, but our little outer disciples don't have much right to speak. He's the elder, he's the biggest, and he's in charge. Ouch, you wait for me, and suddenly I want to relieve myself. The disciple of the Thousand Swords Sect who was complaining suddenly felt a pain in his stomach, and hurriedly covered his stomach and said.
Then he rushed into the bushes next to him, and just untied his trouser belt and squatted down, when he looked up and suddenly found a person squatting on a large branch in the distance smiling at him.
"Poof," when the four eyes met, the disciple of the Thousand Swords Sect suddenly spewed out with a rake, and at the same time, he also recognized Liu Qing.
I didn't even have time to pull my pants, so I suddenly stood up and shouted: Liu Qing is here~
Several other Thousand Swords Sect disciples heard the shout, and immediately rushed into the bushes and asked loudly, "Where is Liu Qing?"
"My grass, it stinks," but the next moment they didn't have time to check Liu Qing's voice, so they were so smoked by a strong smell that they quickly covered their mouths.
The disciple who before saw someone coming, and hurriedly pointed to Liu Qing's hiding place and shouted: There~
When the disciples of the Thousand Sword Sect heard the sound of the disciple, they looked for the sound, and immediately opened their mouths in surprise, only to see a white body appearing in front of them, and an unknown object was still swaying wantonly. Then the air was suddenly quiet........
After a few seconds of silence, the disciple sensed that something was wrong, and slowly moved to himself (below) with the surprised eyes of the disciples. A confused face.
"Ah~~~~~~h
A few minutes later, the disciple lowered his head, pinched the corners of his clothes nervously with his hands, and walked out of the bushes with a twist.
When all the disciples saw the disciple's demeanor, they immediately shuddered collectively. A mess.
"That's right, Liu Qing, hurry, send a signal" A disciple suddenly reacted and shouted.
"Yes", the disciple who was holding a signal flare agreed and immediately released a signal flare into the sky.
