Chapter 175: Another Illusion
Although the illusion had changed, Mo Xiao still chose to move forward as usual, but as she walked, she felt a little familiar because of the scenery in front of her.
The familiarity seems to be hidden in the bones, and even if you don't think about it, you can feel that familiarity.
Passing through the wooded place, the road became much wider, and Mo Xiao heard a familiar voice while breathing a sigh of relief.
"Brother Mo, you are too polite, but Cheng'er doesn't like to cultivate, so let's not force him."
After the owner of the voice finished speaking, there was no sound around again, and Mo Xiao seemed to ask them out loud where she was, but thinking back to what the person just said "Brother Mo", for some reason, she always felt that she had heard it from someone's mouth.
"Okay, Brother Mu went back and told Mu Cheng that I wouldn't train him anymore."
If Mo Xiao was still guessing before, then now, she is very sure of her answer.
Surprised to follow the voice to find the other person, Mo Xiao just wanted to step forward to say hello, and his body involuntarily found a hidden place to hide.
Not for anything else, just because she had discovered a gesture from Mo Wen, a gesture that he trained her to hide on weekdays.
Mo Wen's expression and demeanor are too familiar, not at all like the images that exist in the illusion, but now Mo Xiao still retains a trace of clarity in his mind, the real Mo Wen has already accompanied the emperor to treat the principal, even if he knows her current situation, he will not interfere in anything.
Because in the magic world, the illusion is never anything to a genius, what is fake is mixed with the real, and if there are other people in the illusion besides yourself and you care about, then the illusion is even more terrifying than the original.
If Emperor Xiu was young, had little experience, and didn't understand this, Mo Xiao might still believe it, but Mo Wen was definitely not a character who would bring trouble to his daughter.
After making sure that Mo Wen in his sight was just an image of an illusion, Mo Xiao did not leave on his own.
She knew very well that she was in the game now, and she would never want to get out alive unless she died or broke the opponent's balance piece.
After figuring it out, Mo Xiao stayed in the dark with peace of mind, and after Mo Wen and Mu Cheng's father chatted, the two left hand in hand, and Mo Xiao appeared.
She didn't wait long, and Liu Qingshan came over under Mo Wen's arrangement.
"Mom." Whether it was an illusion or not, Mo Xiao couldn't help but shout at that familiar face.
Smiling and nodding at her, Liu Qingshan pointed to the gazebo not far away and said, "You finally came back, sit back with me." ”
"Okay." nodded obediently, anyway, the way forward is still there, I don't know if there will be a place to rest if I keep walking, Mo Xiao agreed without hesitation.
Mother and daughter walked side by side to the gazebo, which, as I remember, was filled with a set of vintage tea sets.
Seeing the tea set, Mo Xiao suddenly remembered that this is her own backyard, once she can't find Mo Wen and Liu Qingshan when she was young, she will definitely come here noisily, because when she is fine, Mo Wen will always go to this place with his wife to make a good cup of tea and enjoy the time of the two of them comfortably.
At that time, Mo Xiao ruined Mo Wen's good deeds many times, and Mo Wen strongly asked her not to go to the backyard again while she asked to practice spells.
That is, from the time she came into contact with the magic, Mo Xiao's luck was unlucky, so as not to ask for trouble for herself, Mo Xiao tried her best to restrain her urge to go into the backyard, and then she lost that curiosity, so she never set foot in this place again, I didn't expect that after so many years, in this illusion, she could still visit her own backyard again.
"Would you like a drink?" Placing dozens of kinds of tea leaves on the stone table in the middle of the pavilion, Liu Qingshan asked softly.
To be honest, when she spoke, she was always so gentle and lovely, Mo Xiao really couldn't believe that such a woman would be the night killer who was famous in the Seven Cities at the beginning, of course, if she didn't believe this, Mo Xiao was also selfish, after all, Liu Qingshan was her mother, not some stranger next to her.
As if casually glancing at the tea leaves on the table, with his memory, Mo Xiao recognized Jiuqu Hongmei.
I remember the first time I went to the teahouse with Di Xiu, Mo Han, as the host, instructed the tea master to brew Liu Qingshan's favorite nine-song red plum.
Mo Xiao still can't figure out why Liu Qingshan, a killer, became the owner of a teahouse in the first place, and similarly, she has no research on tea, and she can't tell what tea is and what tea, but her mother's favorite tea, she thinks she still knows a little better.
So she stretched out her finger and pointed at Jiuqu Hongmei, and smiled: "That's it." ”
According to the gesture she pointed, Liu Qingshan skillfully took out the Jiuqu red plum, lowered her head and carefully prepared before making tea.
To Mo Xiao's surprise, she just made Mo Xiao know clearly that although the images in the illusion can replicate the face and sound, they can't replicate humanity.
Under normal circumstances, Mo Xiao proposed to drink Jiuqu Red Plum, Liu Qingshan would definitely be surprised, but the person in front of him was carrying out all the routine actions without changing his face.
Realizing this, Mo Xiao couldn't help but feel a little relieved, because in this way she could at least tell which time she was good to herself and when it was potentially dangerous.
"Jiuqu red plum is referred to as Jiuqu red, it is a treasure in black tea, and the origin is not recorded in the encyclopedia of the seven cities, and it is said that it is a place that we can't know, so I won't introduce it much."
Liu Qingshan used to be a tea master here, so she was already used to the way the tea master made tea, but in the face of her daughter, even if she was just a reflection of the environment now, but because of this, she explained it superfluously.
The world of the Seven Cities is already very complicated, and there is such a special existence as the Death Palace in the territory where it is located, and naturally there will be other special existences, so it is understandable that Liu Qingshan does not name the origin of the tea.
Without saying much, she patiently waited for Liu Qingshan's tea, taking advantage of this time period, she could still secretly observe everything around her.
However, she was distracted by this look, because no matter how carefully she tried to find the subtle differences, she still couldn't find out the difference between this place and her own home, and she could still deduce that she was just an image of an illusion based on her familiarity with her mother and the humanization of real people.
But facing the flawless backyard in front of him, Mo Xiao really didn't know what to do for a while.
It wasn't until Liu Qingshan poured the brewed tea into the cup in front of her and motioned to taste it that she was forced to come back to her senses.
"Xiaoxiao, what were you looking at just now?" I thought that Liu Qingshan would not ask, but she didn't expect Mo Xiao's tea to be served, so she couldn't wait to ask.
"Ahem, no, I didn't see anything." Putting down the teacup in a panic, Mo Xiao was really glad that she wasn't in a hurry to drink tea just now, otherwise she would be able to squirt out all the tea she drank now.
"Didn't you really see anything?" Liu Qingshan asked, and then carefully looked at each of the places Mo Xiao had looked at before, as if he was looking for evidence to prove that Mo Xiao was lying.
Although she didn't know what Liu Qingshan had watched, in order not to let her find anything unusual, she had to change the topic.
It's just that when she changed the topic, she was really not vigilant enough, she didn't expect that it was Mo Wen who discussed things with her on weekdays, and Mo Wen had obviously seen her before, but now it was Liu Qingshan who came out to talk to her.
"Are you still resentful of your dad?" Liu Qingshan asked with a sigh.
She seemed to be distressed, but Mo Xiao was puzzled, so she had to say tentatively: "Why should I resent my father? ”
"You really still resent him." Mo Xiao's words made Liu Qingshan sigh again.
Mo Xiao rolled her eyes, she really didn't know where her mother saw that she was still resentful.
Because she couldn't find the words to comfort the image in an environment, she had to remain silent, and the right to speak was turned back to Liu Qingshan, and she took the opportunity to persuade Mo to smile: "Your father is also for your good, and you yourself know it very well, don't you?" Emperor Xiu's child is the master of the Death Palace, the Death Palace has always been at odds with the feudal masters, and your father broke into the Death Palace in order to save me, new hatred and old hatred, if you force yourself to be with the Emperor Xiu, it is likely to be criticized by all the feudal divisions, so your father drove away the Emperor Xiu and let you make a marriage contract with Mu Cheng. ”
"Wait, isn't Mu Cheng married?" Most of the illusions she has experienced before are based on reality, why does the current illusion seem to be too fake?
"If you get married, you can still get married." Liu Qingshan said as a matter of course.
Mo Xiao's face sank, and he glared at Liu Qingshan very displeasedly, and said, "He will definitely not agree, unless you force him." ”
Mu Cheng is a filial son, Mo Xiao knew from the beginning that he only disobeyed his elders once for Shao Qianqian, although Mo Xiao didn't see what he did specifically, but for that incident, Mu Cheng must have punished himself, and now if the elders persecute Mu Cheng, even if Mu Cheng loves Shao Qianqian again, it will be in the way of ordering and leaving.
"It doesn't matter if it's forced or not, as long as the result is that the two of you are together."
"What if I say absolutely impossible?" Mo Xiao grimaced, he really didn't want to be played with like this.
"Are you trying to go against your parents?" Liu Qingshan looked up at Mo Xiao, and what appeared in her dark eyes was a murderous aura that Mo Xiao had never seen, sure enough, she was a killer, and the gentleness on the surface was just a disguise she was good at.
"I'm sorry, if you were really my parents, maybe I would think about it, but unfortunately you weren't." Unable to sink his heart anymore and pretending not to know that this was an illusion, Mo Xiao couldn't help but get up and said.
was exposed, Liu Qingshan smiled instead of being angry: "Since you discovered my identity, why didn't you think that the illusion in the third door could definitely not be the kind you had seen before." ”
"What do you mean?" Sensing that something was wrong, Mo Xiao subconsciously asked.
Liu Qingshan didn't answer directly, but just looked up at the north, where there was a familiar six-pointed star pattern, clearly reflected in the sky.
