1162: Mirage
Everyone's experience is different.
Liu YichentongguΓ²'s observation of everyone in the Xinghai mining area found that there is no fixed pattern for the selection of materials this time, and at the same time, it is impossible to speculate what will happen next!
It is impossible for everyone to have the experience of selecting materials, so Liu Yichen only ensures the safety of the people in the mining area, and will not do anything else.
Fortunately, in the process of training, although a lot of dangers occurred, it was not enough to be fatal, which saved Liu Yichen a lot of heart.
In front, there is a city.
Liu Yichen was a little puzzled, in this area, some villages and towns are still very normal, but I haven't heard that there is another city here!
Could it be that the city is fake, like a mirage?
After hesitating, Liu Yichen walked into the gate of the city.
"A hundred gold coins. The heavily armed guards at the city gate stared at Liu Yichen with cold eyes: "Don't go in without gold coins." β
Liu Yichen took out a hundred gold coins and handed them to the guard, and asked, "What kind of place is this, why have I never heard of it, and there is another city here?"
"There are many things you haven't heard of, can't you save zΓ i if you haven't heard of them?" said the guard, "This is Mirage City." β
"Mirage City?" Liu Yichen immediately thought of the mirage, and thought that this city was not a real existence, but an illusory thing.
"That's right, this is the Mirage City, many people think that this is not real, but this is the real place. β
An old man said, "Son, you can come here because of your chance." Mirage City is an independent world, which usually does not appear, and now that you come in, you can buy a lot of good things in the city that you can never buy outside!"
"Oh, thank you old man for the reminder. Liu Yichen looked at the old man curiously: "Old man, are you a resident of Mirage City?"
"Yes, I've always lived in Mirage and never been outside. The old man walked along the long street towards the city: "Every time the mirage city borders the outside, I will come to the city gate to wander around and breathe the air outside. β
"Old man, then why don't you go out and have a look?" Liu Yichen observed the old man's body with his heavenly eyes, and found that his body was normal, not illusory, but real.
"I would like to go out and have a look, but the people of Mirage City are physically incomparably connected to this world, and once they leave here, their lives will be in danger. β
The old man sighed: "No one can afford such a risk, so since some people left the city gate and exploded, no one dared to make such an attempt." β
"Doesn't that mean that you will have to stay here for the rest of your life and not be able to leave? Liu Yichen said: "Is it like a prisoner?"
"Yes, that's the case. The old man smiled bitterly: "However, there is no way to do it, although I occasionally feel a little aggrieved when living in Mirage City, most of the time, I still feel very good." β
Inside the mirage city, it is not very prosperous, giving people a feeling of depression and desertion.
"On both sides of this long street, there used to be stalls, but now no one is doing these businesses. The old man showed a look of reminiscence, and his eyes were full of vicissitudes.
"Why is no one doing these businesses anymore?" Liu Yichen said curiously: "Also, there seem to be very few people here, what about people?"
"People are in a state of dormancy, and it's hard to say when they will wake up. The old man took Liu Yichen into a nearby open shop, which was full of goods, but Liu Yichen didn't know any of them.
The shop was very large, but there was only one old man taking care of it, and when he saw someone coming in, he glanced lazily at it, did not get up, and continued to sit there and drink tea.
"Lao Zheng, there is business coming to the door, why don't you entertain it?" the old man smiled.
"I want to entertain then, but I can't get up, and I guess I'll go into hibernation for the next two days. Lao Zheng sighed and said, "This store is open on the last day today, and it will be closed tomorrow." β
"Are you going to sleep too?" the old man sighed: "If this continues, they will all be dormant, won't there be no one active in Mirage City?" I don't know how long this hibernation will last." β
"I don't know, maybe months, maybe years, but maybe hundreds of years, forever. Lao Zheng snorted and looked at Liu Yichen: "The young man is not a native of Mirage City." It's better to be an outsider, at least you don't have to sleep. β
"Dormancy, what's going on, why do you want to be dormant?" Liu Yichen was full of curiosity about this matter, and he wanted to figure out the root of the matter.
"The reason why the people of Mirage City can't leave Mirage City is because there is a kind of air flow in the body, which is connected to the Qi veins of Mirage City, and the Qi veins will continuously input the air flow into the human body to maintain the normal operation of the body. β
Lao Zheng explained: "However, every once in a while, the qi veins will stop emitting that kind of breath outward, so the body will slowly fall into a state of inability to function, at this time it will be dormant, when to wait until the qi veins continue to emit breath outward, the human body has obtained enough breath, it will automatically wake up, this is the state of awakening, ending dormancy." β
Lao Zheng yawned: "I'm going to go into hibernation now, young man, what do you want, just give me 100,000 gold coins, you can take it as you like, anyway, it's useless to put it here." β
After Lao Zheng finished speaking, Liu Yichen gave him ten gold coins, and Lao Zheng went to the back and went to sleep.
Liu Yichen picked out some things from the many goods, and then left the store with the old man.
"Young man, you are a kind person, if it were me, anyway, he said to pick whatever he wanted, and I would get everything here. β
The old man yawned: "Young man, I'm also starting to get sleepy, and I may have to sleep, so I can't continue to accompany you, so you can just take a look for yourself, anyway, the things here are very cheap, and you won't suffer, although the consumption is enough." β
The old man's figure flashed and disappeared.
Liu Yichen sat on a bench on the side of the street and stayed for a while before finally getting up and continuing to walk along the long street.
While walking, Liu Yichen observed the surrounding environment.
Through those buildings and barriers, Liu Yichen found that almost all the people here were really in a dormant state, and the proportion of dormant people accounted for about 70%.
Thirty percent of them are still not dormant, but looking at the unbearable appearance, they are about to start dormant.
Hibernation, what is going on, Liu Yichen plans to study it.
Liu Yichen carefully observed the inside of everyone's body, and found that all the dormant people had a fiery red aura in their bodies, and there was only a little bit of dormant in the dantian.
And for those who haven't fallen into a dormant state, the fiery red aura is relatively much stronger, and that aura is still circulating in the body!
Liu Yichen saw the qi veins, and in the void of the Mirage City, there were wisps of red aura floating, and those red breaths were absorbed into the body, and they became the red breath that wandered or hibernated in the body.
Those floating wisps of red aura all emerged from the wells that could be seen everywhere on the streets of Mirage City, Liu Yichen jumped down from a well, and soon followed the passage in the well to a large karst cave deep underground.
In this cave, there is a blood-red pool, and those wisps of red breath are the source!
Where did all the blood-red breath in the pool come from?
Liu Yichen's curiosity has always been strong, and he wants to know everything.
Tianyan exerted himself to the extreme, Liu Yichen looked through the stone ground, and found that the blood-red aura in this pool was actually from some very fine holes at the bottom of the pool, and those small holes were actually countless fine passages, and the passages extended to the extremely deep underground, where it was foggy and couldn't see anything clearly.
Liu Yichen wanted to see what was in the fog, but he found that it was not an easy task.
Excavation.
Liu Yichen decided to dig a hole and go down to see the truth there.
The ground was very hard, but Liu Yichen's strength was very strong and extremely fast, but in about an hour, he had already come to that fog.
Call.
Liu Yichen felt the emptiness under his feet, and his body flew downward, and he quickly burst out of his body and held himself up.
Nima, in this fog, there is nothing, and it dares to be a bottomless abyss!
How deep this is, Liu Yichen can't predict, and there is no way to detect.
Those blood-red breaths all came up from here, but there was no blood-red breath here at all, what was going on?
Liu Yichen quickly discovered the mystery, it turned out that those red breaths were all those foggy black gases, which slowly changed after passing through the fine passages, and finally turned into a blood-red color!
It turns out that this is what happened.
Liu Yichen understood what was going on, he thought about it, his figure flashed, and he disappeared into the abyss.
After a long time, Liu Yichen had returned to the cave, collected some red breath, and floated away.
After Liu Yichen returned to the ground, he began to buy all kinds of things non-stop.
The things in Mirage City are so cheap, Liu Yichen only spent a small amount of money to buy a large number of good things.
Three days and three nights later, when Liu Yichen was shopping in a shop, he suddenly felt that the scene around him had changed abruptly.
Well?
Liu Yichen was surprised to find that he was no longer in the Mirage City, the Mirage City had disappeared, he was now in a wilderness, where were there any traces of the Mirage City!
What's going on?
Liu Yichen couldn't react for a while.
Immediately, Liu Yichen hurriedly took a look at his storage space to see if the things he bought were still there, and whether the qiΔ that happened in the mirage city was a dream.
Luckily, it's not a dream, and those things are honestly in the storage space!
Since this is the case, Liu Yichen's heart is suddenly steady.
Mirage City is really a very magical place, although he can't stay there all the time, but with so many gains, Liu Yichen is already satisfied.
Liu Yichen suddenly appeared, and the elders who had been observing him all this time were very surprised.
"Where did this kid go, and why did he disappear for several days?" Elder Changmei said, "Could it be that this kid has any strange skills that make us unable to see his traces?"
"I think he had some kind of adventure, going somewhere we didn't know. The white-haired elder sighed, "If that's the case, then it's really interesting. β
