Venerable Zhupan's expression made Chen Song feel frightened, his face was numb, but his eyes were fanatical, and two extreme emotions appeared on the same face, forming a kind of demonic contrast.

So he asked, "Do you think this Sixty-Nine City is a mirage?"

Venerable Zhupan said with a solemn face: "You heard what the scholar said, he said that the city thinks that it is now a great fortune in the ninety-five years, but in fact, Baozhen, how many years do you say it is a great luck now?"

Bao Zhen hesitated for a moment, folded his hands and counted them, and after counting them, he said, "It seems to be ninety-four-five?"

Venerable Zhupan said, "Yes, it should be the ninth and fourth five years of great luck, but why did the scholar say that it was nine hundred and fifty-five? Because the place where he lives has passed faster, it has reached nine hundred and fifty-five years!"

Chen Song asked again: "Just because of this, do you think this is a mirage?"

Venerable Zhupan swept his robe and said solemnly: "My generation of monks, when I have the heart to change my life in the face of the world's disapproval, I am willing to venture into the city to see it." ”

Chen Song said abruptly: "But you also said that the mirage is colorless and tasteless, you see the fog shrouded in Liujiu City, you see, the black one is the same as the horse fungus, this is called colorless and tasteless? What if this is a big demon? Don't you go in to make desserts for it?"

Venerable Zhupan said: "If it is a big demon, then there is no possibility for the scholar to come out alive. ”

"If it's a mirage, then there's no chance that he will come out alive, as you said, the fisherman who strayed into the mirage was dragged out with a rope by his companions at that time!"

Venerable Zhupan insisted: "Yes, but that is also a fisherman's one-sided statement, what is the actual mirage of Shanghai, how can ordinary people really see it? Maybe it is like this?"

Baozhen interjected and said, "Wait, sir, Venerable listen to me, even if he is a mirage, even if it is caused by the demonic qi spit out by that big demon, but what are you doing in there?"

Venerable Zhupan smiled slightly, and said: "If it is a mirage, there is everything I want in it, aura, sects, Taoist friends, spells, there is no spiritual law apocalypse in it, there is still a world of Jiuzhou where monks can do everything!"

Chen Song understands this, the mirage is said to be a city, but in fact, it is an enchantment created by the mirage demon, and its mana is hallucination, similar to but different from the Nine Banners, and it is countless times stronger:

The mirage created by the mirage demon can make people fall into illusions, and the world in the illusion is the perfect world that a person can imagine, for the fisherman it is the presence of both parents and a good wife, and for the monk it is full of aura and the world is as usual.

Baozhen also probably understood what Venerable Zhupan meant, and he said loudly: "But that's fake, and everything inside is fake!"

Zhupan Venerable shook his hand freely, and he smiled and said: "Everything is like a dream bubble, what is true and what is false? Is what we are experiencing now real? Who said that the world created by the mirage demon is fake? True and false, it is not judged by one's own heart?"

After he finished speaking loudly, he bowed his hand to Chen Song: "Thanks to Mr. Zhupan's care all the time, Zhupan has nothing to repay, let Zhupan be a soldier and horse scout into this black fog today." ”

Chen Song said: "Then let's tie you up with a rope, and we'll pull you out after a while, okay?"

Venerable Zhupan bowed his head and said, "It is only up to Mr. to arrange." ”

Bao Zhen tied the waist of the Venerable Zhupan with a rope, and a resolute man suddenly came out and said: "The Venerable is a monk with great magical powers, maybe this black mist has a different impact on him and on us and other ordinary people, it is better to do this, sir, the villain is willing to follow the Venerable to test himself, please also tie the villain with a rope, and pull the two of us out together in the future." ”

This also makes sense, Chen Song asked hesitantly, "Aren't you afraid of danger?"

Baozhen also said anxiously: "Erlang, what are you doing here?"

The man smiled indifferently: "My parents, wife and children have all died in the hands of mountain and forest thieves, and they have long been careless, what else is there to fear? Now I am just trying to repay my husband for his life, and now I finally have this opportunity, and the villain does not want to give up." ”

The two of them walked towards the black mist in two directions, and Venerable Zhupan walked to the side of the rolling black mist and nodded to Chen Song first, then bowed his hand and retreated into the black mist.

This was the last time Chen Song saw him, and in the days that followed, he would occasionally think of the expression on the face that Venerable Zhupan looked at him when he finally gave his hand, which was an expression of anticipation and joy.

Just like the groom is going to pick up the bride, and like a young couple going to see the renovated new house, it seems that there is a brave new world waiting for him.

The group waited outside the black fog for a full day and night, and after dawn the next day, Chen Song instructed Baozhen and the others to drag the rope outside.

The rope tied to the waist of Zhupan Venerable was tight, Baozhen and the others couldn't pull it, Chen Song had to go up to help, but as soon as he made a strong effort, the rope broke violently, and several people almost fell to the ground.

Chen Song pulled the rope out in a hurry, and the rope was burned.

The other group of people took back the rope tied to Erlang's body, but this time the rope did not break, and after some effort, they dragged Erlang out.

Erlang at the end of the rope has been struggling, and after leaving the black mist, he struggled even harder, and shouted loudly: "Dao Ye spare his life! Dao Ye spares his life! Dao Ye has wronged the villain, the villain has been law-abiding all his life, and he has never provoked the Dao Ye!"

Baozhen went up and grabbed him and slapped him, but Erlang was still struggling, and the others had to rush up and tie him up, just like when they tied up Lu Jiazi.

After a while, Erlang slowly came to his senses, he looked at Baozhen and his party in a daze, looking at this and that, with a blank expression on his face, a little stupid.

Chen Song felt bad in his heart.

Baozhen squatted beside Erlang and handed him the kettle for him to take a sip of water, and asked, "Erlang, do you recognize me?"

Erlang smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Baozhen, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Baozhen patted him on the head and said, "What are you talking about? I haven't seen you for a long time, we've only been apart for a day!"

Erlang, who drank the water, was stunned and said, "It's only been a day? I feel like it's been a long time." ”

Chen Song smiled bitterly and asked, "You haven't seen us in the past few days, but you have seen your parents and family, right?"

Erlang, who has always been indifferent, showed a smile on his face: "Thanks to Mr. To, the villain does meet his parents, wife and children again, if Mr. does not dislike it, please come to the villain's house as a guest in the future, the rice wine brewed by the villain's lady is sweet and refreshing, Mr. will definitely like it." ”

Bao Zhen's eyes widened and she shouted, "What crazy are you talking about? Your grandmother and wife were all cut off by thieves, and you have nightmares every night......

Erlang stood up violently, and he yelled at Baozhen: "Don't talk nonsense, shut up! My grandmother and wife are safe and sound, and they are waiting for me at home!"

After speaking, he knelt in front of Chen Song again: "Please be merciful to Mr. and let me go back to the city to reunite with my family, the villain has kowtowed to Mr."
