Chapter 12: Breaking the Illusion

The second emperor's hand holding the wine glass shook and returned to normal, but his face became gloomy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yin Tiancheng said again: "Do you know why I don't want to cultivate immortals with you? ”

"I want to hear about it."

"Because you won't make me an immortal at all, you're just trying to use this as an excuse to trap me here." Yin Tiancheng's eyes flashed with a spark of confidence.

"Why do you think this way, am I a man-eating youkai?"

"Are you a god, a demon, or a human? I don't know. Yin Tiancheng added: "But I know exactly what kind of place this is. ”

"Where?" The second emperor asked.

Yin Tiancheng sold it, reached out and poured himself a glass of wine and drank it.

The Second Emperor's face became more and more ugly, but Ah Zhu laughed, and she asked, "Are you afraid that you will be worried about your life if you tell the answer?" ”

"I do have this kind of worry, but I am more worried about not being able to return to the capital." Yin Tiancheng smiled and said to the second emperor: "Why don't we make a bet, if I guess correctly, you will let me go back." ”

"What if you guess wrong?"

"I'll stay here for the rest of my life, and let you do it."

"That's a big bet, do you have to think about it?"

"That's my business, the question is, do you dare to bet with me?"

The second emperor smiled: "I can afford to lose, but I'm afraid you can't afford to lose." ”

"Then you promised to gamble with me?"

"Hmm." The Second Emperor nodded and said, "Now you can tell your answer." ”

"I said this is not a fairy mountain, because it's just an illusion." Yin Tiancheng's face was full of smiles, and he said confidently: "If I guess correctly, I am still in the plum garden." ”

With a "bang", the wine glass in the second emperor's hand fell to the ground, and his face was as pale as snow.

"Smack!" Ah Zhu applauded, her eyes were full of appreciation, and she praised: "Childe is really amazing." ”

Yin Tiancheng said to the second emperor: "It seems that I guessed correctly, then you can let me go, right?" ”

The second emperor said, "I still have to ask you a few words." ”

"You're asking me how I saw through all this?"

"Yes." The second emperor nodded and drank the wine silently.

"I had guessed the answer before I met you, but I wasn't quite sure. When I talked to you later, I found a flaw in your words, which convinced me. ”

"What's the flaw?"

Yin Tiancheng said: "You said that you haven't gone out for thousands of years, but Azhu told me that you went out to visit friends yesterday, and it seems that the confessions of the two of you are not right." ”

"So I said too much." Ah Zhu laughed.

"Your trick is so cleverly arranged, I almost believe it." Yin Tiancheng continued: "You first asked Duan Zhengan to seduce me, and then asked Ah Zhu to confuse me, and finally deliberately let me go to the back mountain to enjoy a battle of gods. All of this is seamlessly connected, and even if you suspect that this is not a fairyland, you will think that some of the things you see are hallucinations, and you will not think that all of them are illusions. ”

The second emperor asked, "Then when did you discover the truth?" ”

"The first time I went to the Plum Garden, a woman in white gave me a strange candle, which I always carried with me. But when I got here, I found that it wasn't in my pocket, and the rest of the things I had with me were there, and I don't know why. But that's enough to show that this isn't the real place, otherwise it wouldn't have gone away. ”

When it came to the woman in white, the second emperor's face was a little unnatural.

Yin Tiancheng said: "When I first fell into the illusion, my clothes were torn a few times, but after I came to the palace, my clothes were as good as ever, which proves that this is not a real place." ”

"A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts." The second emperor sighed: "I just neglected a detail, and I found a suspicion for you." ”

"You also missed a detail, and that is the painting that Guoguo tore in in the house where I live."

Ah Zhu also sighed: "I really shouldn't have restored that painting, but instead exposed the horse's feet." ”

"That's just one of the reasons." Yin Tiancheng said: "The main reason is that the paintings in the house are all paintings from before the Qin Dynasty, except for this painting. ”

"What does that mean?" Ah Zhu asked in surprise.

"Alas!" The Second Emperor let out a long sigh and said, "I told him that he hadn't gone down the mountain for thousands of years, so how did Gu Kaizhi's painting come about?" Isn't that a paradox? ”

"I'm done talking." Yin Tiancheng said: "I also have a question for you, why are you trapping me in an illusion? ”

Yin Tiancheng's question was not answered, because at this time, the second emperor and Ah Zhu disappeared in front of him, and all the scenery in front of him began to rotate, and Yin Tiancheng's eyes flickered, and he found that he was in the desolate pavilion in the plum garden.

Finally returned to the capital, Yin Tiancheng stood up silently, although he had gotten out of danger, but there was no expression of joy on his face, but there was an indescribable shock. A person who can create illusions, can he still be called a person, can only be described as a god and a demon. What a terrible enemy he would be if he really wanted to be my enemy. But Yin Tiancheng can't put his mind on the second emperor yet, the most important thing now is to capture the real culprit of the series of murders, and the most important thing at the moment is to return to the palace as soon as possible, otherwise my father-in-law will worry about me.

When Yin Tiancheng returned to the mansion, he saw Governor Lin anxiously waiting for his return in the hall, so he hurriedly stepped forward to report his safety.

Governor Lin asked, "Do you have any harvest in Longquan Villa?" ”

"Don't mention it, I didn't go to Jackie Chan Spring Villa today." Yin Tiancheng said: "The child mistakenly fell into the evil man's magic today, and he almost couldn't get out. ”

"What's going on?" Governor Lin asked hurriedly. Yin Tiancheng briefly told him what had happened.

"Who is this so-called prince?" Governor Lin also gasped after hearing this.

"I don't know." Yin Tiancheng said softly: "But the most important thing now is to go to Longquan Villa to investigate the true situation of the case, I will rush over now, and you ask my mother not to leave me dinner." ”

"No! It's dusk now, so you'd better go tomorrow. Governor Lin stopped him and said to him, "Let Ding Ming accompany you tomorrow." ”

Yin Tiancheng had accidents one after another, and Governor Lin was not at ease. Ding Ming is the highest martial arts catcher in the house, and he is famous for his family heirloom 36 ways of chasing the wind and swordsmanship. And his life is also very hard, he was once surrounded and suppressed by eight demon sect masters, and he was stabbed thirteen times in his body, and the knife was fatal, and in the end he miraculously survived. With such a person as an assistant by Yin Tiancheng's side, Lin Peien is naturally relieved.

"Okay, just listen to what my father-in-law said, I will go to Longquan Villa tomorrow." Yin Tiancheng understood that his father-in-law was thinking about his safety, so it was not good to force it anymore.

Yin Tiancheng returned to the bedroom, and when he saw that it was still early for dinner, he tore the rice paper on the table into sixteen parts, and wrote it with a pen. Each piece of paper contains the name of the deceased and the location of the murder in one of the murders. He looked at the pieces of paper in front of him in a daze, and his thoughts were full of thoughts. I don't know what's going on, he has a strange feeling, the mysterious second emperor vaguely has an inexplicable relationship with this series of murders. Looking at and thinking about it, the words on the paper in front of him seemed to beat in Yin Tiancheng's heart, as if he was pouring out countless grievances.

There was a sound on the roof, and an animal jumped onto the table and opened its eyes to Yin Tiancheng.

Isn't this a fruit, Yin Tiancheng was overjoyed, if it weren't for it, he wouldn't have been able to see through the illusion so quickly. Guoguo wagged his tail and jumped off the table to circle around him, no different from the illusion, except that the fur on his body no longer glowed, and looked more like an ordinary domestic cat.

Yin Tiancheng lightly changed it in his arms and said with a smile: "I am very lonely, and with you in the future, I will not be lonely." ”

Yin Tiancheng didn't know that in the sky on his roof, Ah Zhu and the Second Emperor were staring at him.

"Well, I'm really blind." The Second Emperor sighed softly: "It's just a mortal, he can actually break the layout of the gods!" If this person is not removed, sooner or later it will be a big problem for my henchmen. ”

Ah Zhu smiled: "Originally, you could have killed him directly in the illusion world. ”

"The Three Realms all regard me as the embodiment of evil, but they don't understand that I am an integral part of the cosmic balance. In that case, I also have to abide by certain laws of the Protoss, and that is to keep my promises. ”

"Let the tiger return to the mountain, I'm afraid that there will be endless troubles."

No matter how smart he is, he is just a man, and he is as powerless as an ant in front of God. If I want to kill him, I have a lot of means. ”

"You have to remember, I'm only going to help you once, and you don't want to waste your chance on something so boring and bloody." Ah Zhu's tone was flat, but there was a hint of sadness on his face.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and the bright spots disappeared in the layers of clouds.
