Chapter 279: Hallucination
Su Qiubai actually had this premonition for a long time, but he was unwilling to admit it in his heart.
He remembered the scene when he saw Shu Jingrou for the first time, and that time he believed that it was indeed just a chance encounter, but since Shu Jingrou was Feng Yuanqiu's person, she was naturally not afraid of ghosts, and it was conceivable that she approached her that night because she was afraid of ghosts, and she already had a purpose.
Maybe her purpose was to trick herself into coming to Ningzhou, and then try to make herself the nourishment for Feng Yuanqiu's cultivation. With his cultivation, if they really succeeded, it would be of great help to Feng Yuanqiu.
He still didn't want to believe that the lively and lovely girl who seemed to have no city in her chest was actually an accomplice of a big devil like Feng Yuanqiu, and all the gestures she had shown in front of him before were actually to deceive her trust.
Su Qiubai stared at the painting for a long time, and finally came back to his senses, realizing that he couldn't just be affected by the situation, no matter what, his purpose was to get rid of Feng Yuanqiu, if someone stopped him, no matter who that person was, he would solve one of them.
He stayed in the tomb for a long time, but he didn't see Feng Yuanqiu appear, and he didn't know if he escaped from other exits or hid in a certain door.
He decided not to wait like this any longer, anyway, with the Xuanyuan Sword in hand, as long as he was careful not to give Feng Yuanqiu a chance to sneak attack, he would be sure of winning.
Su Qiubai cautiously approached the door on the left wall, and after listening carefully, he found that there was no movement inside, so he took the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand and gently pushed the door open.
As soon as he opened the door, Su Qiubai saw a black shadow rushing towards him, and he had to dodge in a hurry, and after dodging this attack, he saw clearly that it was a huge python that pounced on him! And after a closer look, he felt that this python was a little familiar, and after recalling it carefully, he remembered that this python was exactly the same as the one he encountered on the snow-capped mountains of Mohe!
This is also too coincidental, I didn't expect that this kind of thing was still raised in the tomb of Yuan Qiu. At this time, the python's attack was still unabated, constantly attacking him, so he didn't have time to think about it, and brandished the Xuanyuan sword to meet the python's attack.
After fighting for a long time with one person and one snake, Su Qiubai found that the scale armor of this python was so hard that even the Xuanyuan Sword couldn't hurt it in the slightest! This really surprised Su Qiubai, the Xuanyuan Sword is an artifact, not to mention gold and iron, even a skyscraper can be split in half with a sword. How terrifying is this big snake's cultivation, and the Xuanyuan Sword can't even cut through its scale armor?
Su Qiubai suddenly remembered that he had defeated the Great Snake with the help of the Spirit Fox, and the Spirit Fox had attacked the Great Snake's Heavenly Spirit Gai at that time. It seems that the only weakness of this big snake is the Heavenly Spirit Gai, and he only needs to find the opportunity to attack the top of its head, and he can kill it in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, Su Qiubai no longer waved the Xuanyuan Sword to slash indiscriminately, but deliberately launched an attack on the top of the big snake's head. The big snake seemed to realize Su Qiubai's intentions, so he also carefully dodged his attack, one person and one snake fought for a long time, and still did not distinguish between the superior and the inferior, and Su Qiubai was more and more surprised in his heart.
When he met the big snake back then, he was just a yellow-level cultivator of ancient martial arts, although it was the spirit fox who killed the big snake, but he also fought with the big snake, and this snake was by no means as powerful as it is now. But at this time, this giant python looked the same as the original one, and Su Qiubai didn't notice that its cultivation was higher than the original one, but why was it still so difficult to fight with it? Could it be that its power will also grow stronger as the opponent's power grows?
Although Su Qiubai had heard of similar cultivation techniques, he would be strong when he was strong, but this big snake was just a beast after all, how could it comprehend that kind of profound cultivation?
Su Qiubai fought with the big snake for a while with full of doubts, and then he felt more and more strange.
This big snake seemed to be able to perceive his thoughts, and whenever he came up with a plan to attack it, it could take defensive measures in advance, so Su Qiubai never succeeded once.
Could it be mind-reading? Su Qiubai couldn't believe how such a beast with a low IQ could have such an ability, but at this time, all kinds of signs showed that the big snake was indeed defending according to the attack he had in mind, and he couldn't think of any other more reasonable explanation.
When he stopped to think, the big snake also stopped attacking and stared at him quietly, not knowing what he was doing.
Su Qiubai's heart suddenly moved, could it be that he had guessed wrong before, this big snake was actually ......
While thinking, Su Qiubai tried to walk towards the big snake. At this time, he put away all his killing intent and approached the big snake with a calm face, without any intention of attacking. And the big snake just froze in place like that, Su Qiubai didn't attack, it seemed to have lost its combat effectiveness, just quietly entrenched on the ground.
At this point, Su Qiubai also verified his guess, this giant python was not real at all, but just a phantom in his mind. When he pushed the door just now, he was thinking about whether there would be any people or monsters at the door suddenly attacking him, but as soon as he opened the door, the giant python rushed out. After that, his instinct was to fight, but because the big snake was originally imagined by him, he naturally knew what was going on in his head, so he was able to dodge his attacks every time. And now that he had put away all his killing intent and didn't want to fight the big snake anymore, the big snake stopped attacking.
This qiē can prove that Su Qiubai's guess is right, he doesn't know when he has been in a hallucination. Maybe Feng Yuanqiu fled into the tomb with intention to lure him, and from the moment he first stepped into this tomb, he might have fallen into Feng Yuanqiu's trap.
Su Qiubai suddenly glanced at the ancient painting that he had thrown on the ground just now, could it be that this was also his fantasy? Because he has always doubted Shu Jingrou in his heart, he will see what he used to test her before in this illusion.
This possibility is not impossible, thinking of this, Su Qiubai was a little happy. If he really blamed Shu Jingrou, then he would be much more comfortable in his heart, after all, he didn't want to believe that Shu Jingrou was not a good person.
At this time, the top priority is to get rid of the illusion as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be certain that he will encounter something, in case Yi Yuanqiu wants to use his illusion to kill him, he can only be helpless.
While thinking about it, Su Qiubai bit the tip of his tongue, and under a sharp pain, he glanced around him, but found that the big snake was actually standing beside him!
Generally speaking, the most direct way to crack the illusion is to rely on pain, and the blood and yang energy on the tip of the tongue is the heaviest, so you only need to bite the tip of the tongue. But at this time, it seems that his move did not work!
He was sure that he was indeed in the illusion at the moment, but it must be because Feng Yuanqiu's cultivation was relatively high, and the yin qi here was heavy, so such a simple trick could no longer break the environment he created.
Su Qiubai was about to think of other ways when he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him.
"Su Daxian!"
Su Qiubai looked back, and sure enough, it was Shu Jingrou.
He knew that this Shu Jingrou should also be an illusion, but the ghost sent the gods, and he still said: "I didn't say it, don't call me that." ”
Shu Jingrou smiled mischievously and said, "In my eyes, you are a great immortal!" ”
Su Qiubai looked at her with complicated eyes and asked, "Why did you lie to me?" ”
Shu Jingrou's expression darkened when she heard this, and she said, "I didn't lie to you, don't you believe me?" ”
Su Qiubai looked at her silently and didn't speak for a long time. He knew that what he saw in front of him was just an illusion, and what she said did not represent Shu Jingrou's own meaning, but it implied that in his own heart, he still didn't want to believe that Shu Jingrou was lying to him.
"Since you don't believe me, then I won't be polite to you." Shu Jingrou said with a smile, suddenly pulled out a short sword and stabbed at Su Qiubai.
This move was greatly unexpected by Su Qiubai, in his consciousness, he didn't expect Shu Jingrou to attack him at all, could it be that his hallucinations would also have autonomous consciousness? Impossible, the only explanation is that Shu Jingrou in front of her is not an illusion at all!
After Su Qiubai reacted, he immediately raised his sword to meet her attack, and asked, "Are you not an illusion?" ”
Shu Jingrou winked at him mischievously and said, "Guess what? ”
Su Qiubai suddenly felt a burst of anger in his heart, until just now, he was still comforting himself, the ancient painting was probably just his own illusion, at this moment, it seemed that Shu Jingrou was indeed as he guessed, and at this time, he directly tore his face and beat him up!
With Shu Jingrou's skills, she was not Su Qiubai's opponent originally, but Su Qiubai was still in a hallucination at the moment, but Shu Jingrou was able to enter and exit his hallucinations freely, when he was about to hit her, she would disappear from the hallucination, and when Su Qiubai was unprepared, she would reappear again, her flickering and flickering style of play, even Su Qiubai, who was cultivated in the Jindan period, had no way to take her.
As for why she didn't attack Su Qiubai outside the illusion, it must be because that would directly break the illusion, and if Su Qiubai was not dead after the illusion was broken, then she and Feng Yuanqiu would have a lot more trouble dealing with Su Qiubai.
Su Qiubai was extremely annoyed by her erratic play, and suddenly remembered that he still had the borrowed dagger in his bag, and it might be possible to crack this illusion with his evil spirit, and he took out the dagger without hesitation, and when Shu Jingrou had not yet appeared, he slashed the tip of the dagger in the middle of his eyebrows, accompanied by a tingling pain, Su Qiubai's eyes suddenly bloomed, and when he looked at it again, the scene in front of him had changed, although the tomb was still the same one just now, but the door on the wall was gone, What appeared in front of him was Feng Yuanqiu, who was wielding a bone stick and still maintaining the illusion, and Shu Jingrou on the side!
Seeing Su Qiubai's eyes, Shu Jingrou realized what was going on, so she asked, "Awake?" ”
Su Qiubai raised the Xuanyuan Sword and aimed it at Shu Jingrou, and asked with a complicated expression, "When you were in Yinchang, why did you lie to me?" ”
Shu Jingrou saw that there was no need for her to hide, so she suddenly laughed and said, "You are so smart, you must have already guessed it, why do you have to ask me again?" ”
Feng Yuanqiu, who was on the side, saw that the illusion had been broken, so he also stopped the movements in his hand and said to Shu Jingrou: "Ling'er, what are you talking nonsense about him?" Do you think it's possible for your friendship to continue now? ”
The word "friendship" sounded extremely harsh to Su Qiubai's ears, so he sneered: "Friendship? You lied to me from the very beginning when you approached me, how could you treat me as a friend? ”
Shu Jingrou lowered her head when she heard this, Feng Yuanqiu on the side sneered, and said, "Look, Ling'er, I said a long time ago that he didn't treat you as a friend at all, and you begged me to spare his life before, it's really a mistake!" ”
"Grandpa! Don't say it, what I said before is that if he retreats, he will spare his life, and now that he has come to take your life and mine, I will naturally not show mercy to my subordinates. Shu Jingrou's face suddenly turned cold, and she said resolutely.
"Grandpa?" Su Qiubai said suspiciously.
Shu Jingrou nodded and said, "Yes, now that it's time to tell you the truth." My real name is Feng Ling'er, and I am the granddaughter of the big villain in your mouth, I approached you from the beginning to help my grandfather cultivate, and then I accidentally found out that you were actually interested in dealing with my grandfather, so I told my grandfather all about your situation, now do you have anything else to ask? ”
