Chapter 14 is both real and illusory

When a person has his eyes closed, he is not necessarily sleeping, he is probably closing his eyes to recuperate. Ye Du is not a person who often rides horses, and the bumps on horseback are still a little unaccustomed to him, and the inside of his knees is still scorching! After a long sigh of relief, Ye Dui, who was half leaning on the side of the boat, opened his somewhat heavy eyes and sat up slowly, although it was only a short rest, but his spirit was much better!

The sky opened a lot, and you could still vaguely see the drunken sunlight after the dark clouds. Ye Du looked boredly at the splashing waves on the water surface, looking at the ripples that continued to ripple on the river surface, and his thoughts unconsciously drifted to a far, far away: the sky was vast, the wilderness was vast, and on the boundless grassland, herds of bison and sheep were galloping freely...... Ye Du looked sideways into the distance, his eyes showed a look of memory, and the corners of his mouth smiled faintly, hometown, what a beautiful memory for a wanderer!

On the surface of the water, a wave was thrown high in the air, and then scattered, and a few splashes of water fell mischievously on the corners of Ye Dui's eyes, wet, icy and cold! Ye Dui withdrew his somewhat casual gaze and wiped the water droplets from the corners of his eyes with his fingers, which was very strange and had a sticky feeling! Ye Dui lowered his head and looked at it, his fingertips were stained with faint bright red traces, and the tip of his nose could also smell a faint fishy smell, it was blood! Ye Dui frowned, and slowly stood up from the bottom of the boat, the expression on his face slowly became solemn!

There was a wind blowing, a humid wind, a warm wind! Sandwiched in the hot wind, there was a smell of blood that was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved, it was drilling into the tip of Ye Dui's nose, and then into his heart and lungs! He suddenly felt that his throat was very dry, he felt that his stomach was constantly bubbling with sour water, Ye Du barely stood on the small boat that was constantly shaking, his face was a little pale, and the feeling of vomiting in his abdomen was getting stronger and stronger! His head was a little dizzy, and it took a lot of effort to even stand, but even in such a difficult situation, his gaze was still calm, and the calm was a little excessive!

The water, if no longer clear, is muddy at best. It's just that the clear river water in the Qianzhang Plain, I don't know when, has turned into a stream of blood! The viscous water is red and black, and the black is shining! On the blood-red water, red whirlpools of all sizes are slowly forming, and these whirlpools are strangely revolving around this dilapidated boat! Gradually, fog rises around the boat, and a thick and thin white mist shrouds the blood-red river, covering the gloomy sky tightly! The wind is roaring and roaring, like countless evil ghosts howling miserably in hell! The boat rowed across the water, making a cold rattling sound, and the surroundings seemed even more empty and horrible on the silent, blood-red water!

Ye Du on the boat, his left hand was holding the Longquan Green Sword tightly, his right hand clenched into a fist was trembling uneasily, and cold sweat was constantly flowing down his face! It was hard to understand that the expression on his face was actually very calm for a person with such a weak body. On the small boat, Ye Du was tilting his head, his eyes firmly looking at the white vast ahead, where he could not see the other side, could not see the sun, and could not see hope! However, why, he still persistently looked into the distance......

Boom...... Boom...... Knock knock knock...... A dense drum beat sounded in this dead space, the drum sound was not loud, but it completely penetrated Ye Dui's ears! Immediately after, the sound of gongs, jade Xiao, cymbals, conchs, and all kinds of magic instruments...... On the blood-red water, large and small Taoist music were mixed, and they were playing in a strange rhythm! Huo Ran, above the void, a dazzling golden light floated down the sky, shining from behind Ye Dui, and in a short time, the layers of white mist on the water surface were dispersed. Countless golden light sprinkled on the blood-red river, the hot wind blows, scattered into purple-gold dots of sparkling, the white mist is surging and churning, and the boat shrouded in golden light looks like a strange and dazzling beauty!

Bathed in the golden light, Ye Dui's pale face gradually became bloody, and his trembling body slowly settled down under the illumination of the golden light! Ye Dui felt that this light in the darkness was very bright, very warm, and very warm, just like the sunlight that shone on the earth, and had the power to expel death! In the flickering golden light, an old voice came slowly: "The stars and the moon are sinking, the sea of blood is boundless, there is no way forward, young man... "This voice sounds very majestic, but it is very kind, it seems to be far away in the sky, as if it is close to the ear!

Ye Dui, who was standing on the boat, still stared paranoid at the white mist ahead, where there was a dead silence and ominous! After a long time, he replied dumbly: "In my mind, there has never been the word 'turn back'!"

"Oh...... If you don't look back, won't you be buried in this vast sea of blood at a young age! Flowers have a reblooming day, and no one is young anymore...... , young man, think twice, think twice......" The old voice said slowly, and his tone was full of regret.

"Three thousand and forty-nine, three thousand and fifty, three thousand and fifty, three thousand and fifty-one, three thousand and fifty-two, three thousand and fifty-three......" Ye Duan did not respond again, but counted by himself, very strange, at this time, he still had the leisure to count!

"Young man, it's very promising, counting, counting so happily!" said the old voice.

Ye Du stopped, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I'm remembering the time!"

The old voice said, "Oh, it's kind of interesting...... You see that?"

Ye Du said: "Although I don't know what's going on, I think these things in front of me should be fake!"

The old man's voice was a little hurried: "You, how can you tell?"

There was a smile on the corner of Ye Du's mouth, and he said quickly: "Jiangdi"

The old voice said, "Jiangdi, what's abnormal?"

Ye Du said: "I have been observing for a long time, and I have found that the swimming fish at the bottom of the river, every quarter of an hour, they will swim back to their original position, which is the first point that makes me feel strange! The second point, these swimming fish swim in a very stiff and clumsy posture, and I can't see any anger in their muddy fish eyes! The third point, which is the most obvious mistake: green wattles, only grow in the soil, or float on the water, they will never survive in the pebbles and fine sand! Therefore, I speculate: Everything on this surface of the water is just an illusion!"

The old man's voice was silent for a long time, and after a long sigh, he asked, "Could it be that you, boy, are you sure to go out?"

Ye Du's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "I just observed at the Pingjin Ferry, the width of the Qianzhang Yuan River is about seventy-three zhang, and with the speed of this small boat, it can be reached in about two hours and two quarters of an hour! In my habits, an hour is about 1,440 breaths, so it is not difficult to go out!" Ye Duan's tone was very confident and determined!

The old man's voice laughed for a long time, and sighed loudly: "Brilliant wisdom, talent !! heaven."

Ye Dui, bathed in golden light, lowered his head and bowed down and replied, "Cheng Lao Bo's praise, boy... I'm ashamed..."

In the loud laughter of the old voice, the golden light dissipated, and the music gradually became lighter!"Three thousand two hundred and thirty-eight, three thousand two hundred and thirty-nine, it's !! now" On the dilapidated boat, Ye Dui's left hand clenched the long sword, and slowly released his right hand clenched into a fist, and in an instant, his eyes became extremely firm, and he slowly lifted his right foot, and stepped out of the small boat in one step......
