Chapter 279: Illusion Interception
Gu Xing and Bai Ya didn't know why there was such an illusory image here, but the things contained in it were the secret past. Bai Ya was in a trance, and wanted to reach out to support the beam on the side, but she suddenly fell into the air, and this one stumbled and made her completely sober up.
At this time, in the "world" hall, where is there any wine banquet, there are only a few lonely lamps, flashing with a faint blue light, in this dark deep palace, it looks extremely strange and inexplicable.
Bai Li looked around, slowly pulled out the soft sword from his waist, and flicked it lightly with his hand, making a crisp and pleasant sound. Gu Xing's mind suddenly roared, and the cloudy color in his eyes gradually faded and turned to clarity.
Bai Li looked around more and more vigilantly, and in the seemingly empty inner hall, there seemed to be thousands of pairs of eyes watching the two of them's every move. At this time, the person standing in the darkness seemed to have a beam of moonlight above his head breaking through the isolation of the roof tiles, leaning down, enveloping the two of them.
Gu Xing didn't dare to hold it up, so he quickly pulled out his short blade and began to look around, his instinctive intuition told him that danger was approaching at this time.
…………
And the person who arranged all this was Li Cunmiao, who was entering the palace first.
This "world" hall, since the beginning of the construction, no one knows its purpose, but every time I see the lord of the country come here, come at night, and come out in the early morning, as always.
Then the place became more and more mysterious, and it was rumored that a woman was being held here, and the lord of the kingdom came here to have a tryst with her in his spare time. Someone else said that there is the deepest secret hidden in the Later Tang Dynasty here. Some people even went to find out, but finally ended up evaporating from the world.
As for what is the secret here, I am afraid that only the lord of the country, Li Cunmiao, knows it alone.
And the construction here was also made by that woman. She once said that she came here for the world, so she had to build a "world" in Luoyang City first, so that she could have a look. It's just that the "world" palace is just beginning, but the woman chooses to go away from home, into the rivers and lakes, and doesn't ask about the temple. And Li Cunqiao came here to forget some things and let go of some things.
Whenever he enters the "world" hall, the past in his mind will dissipate, sometimes deliberately, but the memory will become clearer, only by meditating here, can the memory be siphoned off by this temple, as if there are gods in this hall, can spy on people's hearts.
It's a pity that this secret that can't be said can only be known by Li Cunqiao alone. Because the woman had said, "When the Tang horse steps on the nine abysses, she will return and congratulate her." "This temple was built by her, so it is natural that she should keep it until she returns.
It's a pity that what Li Cunmiao didn't know was that the woman was in Chilong Road, next to the Guanhai Pavilion, and built another courtyard "Right and Wrong in the World", which seemed to correspond to the "world" far away. When Li Cunmiao learned about this, this annex could no longer be open to him. The woman never appeared in Luoyang again.
There began to be rumors in the rivers and lakes that someone had seen a woman dressed in a mysterious costume dancing above the nine heavens, dancing beautifully in the nine abysses. Some people have also caught a glimpse of a flat boat on the bank of the Luoshui River, with a lonely shadow on the boat, and a woman shaking the wine gourd in her hand and pouring it down.
There are also people who once saw a fairy-looking proprietress in a wine shop, and the "fairy is also drunk" she brewed is unparalleled in the world. It's a pity that rumors in the rivers and lakes often come and go like the wind, and when Li Cunqiao wants to look for it again, he can only work in vain.
What makes Li Cunmiao incomprehensible is that the woman went to the rivers and lakes, but she formed a marriage with the general she relied on the most, and there were also a number of heroes in the rivers and lakes who stepped into the Nine Abyss with them.
The story of the rivers and lakes began here, from the initial happiness and enmity to the subsequent fame, but the woman deliberately hid it and did not want to reveal too much. But the story came to an abrupt end near the climax, the woman disappeared without a trace, the border war was urgent, and Gu Yanxun took the order and went to the border pass.
And the woman didn't know when she gave birth to a baby boy in Gu Xing, and the Jianghu people who got along with the two day and night chose to live in Luoyang and create Mingyue Tower.
At this time, Li Cunqiao knew that the woman Wang Itch said before was the woman who had fought side by side with him, and the woman he had once loved. It's just that this woman will never come back. Li Cunmiao attributed all the reasons to Gu Yanxun, he had endless anger in his heart, but he couldn't vent it easily.
At this time, when the Later Tang Dynasty was strong and strong, he must not ruin the foundation of the Later Tang Dynasty because of his own will.
Everything always seems to be so coincidental, Nalan's surrender and defection make the beginning of this "Luoyang chess game" seem so logical, but when everything settles, Li Cunmiao has endless loneliness in his heart. When he heard that the baby had been rescued by Gu Lingding, he realized that this was just the beginning.
It's just that the Later Tang Dynasty began to fall apart, gradually becoming more and more turbulent, and lost the original prosperity, making him temporarily forget the existence of the baby.
At that time, everything returned to the original appearance, and the baby slowly grew up, like a woman, quietly appeared in Luoyang City, as if she wanted to make a break for what happened fourteen years ago. As everyone knows, all this still hasn't escaped his control, and his most important chess piece is Nalan.
Then Mingyue Tower made the situation that originally seemed chaotic clear. Although he knew that Nalan had his own plans, Li Cunqiao still firmly believed that all this was still under his control.
Li Cunqiao and Nalan, who were one step ahead, traveled all the way and shuttled through the inner palace. Since Li Cunqiao opened the box before leaving the palace, everything has been under his control. Not only did he have to wipe out the few forces in the city, but he also had to kill the remnants of those who dared to come here.
Nalan once said that the trip to Lonely Roaring Heights had been eradicated, but later events showed that Nalan had told a big lie. Li Cunmiao did not expose it, he had to expose Nalan's hypocritical mask in front of everyone, and trample this person under his feet, so that the person who had something to do with the woman would completely disappear in this world.
Since he can't get it, he will destroy it with his own hands, Li Cunmiao has been dormant for so many years, just to one day be able to cut off all his worries and then unify Jiuyuan. At that time, perhaps the woman will come back, as she did at the beginning, and come down from heaven to help herself.
When Li Cunmiao slowly retracted his gaze, the flames in the corridor were still burning violently, and the firelight reflected the starry night and began to become distorted. Nalan stood behind Li Cunqiao, standing with his hands in his hands, the little red on the snow-white robe had already bloomed into a dream of blood, which was intoxicating.
The two did not go to the Zhengying Palace, but came to a high platform that only Li Cunqiao knew, and just faced the night wind, waiting for everything that followed. Li Cunmiao lowered his head and straightened his armor, as if he hadn't worn it for a long time, but he didn't dare to take it off easily.
Nalan still had that indifferent smile, staring at the sudden flames in the distance, thoughtful. "Are you worried about the remnants of the Gu Mansion?" Li Cunmiao raised his head suddenly, his eyes pierced Nalan like spikes, and his tone was a little unkind.
"How so?" Nalan didn't pay attention to Li Cunxuan's aggressiveness, but replied indifferently.
"You have come here without saying a word, and you must have something on your mind when you gazed at the flames in the cloister for a long time. Although you didn't show it on your face, it was clear that you still had compassion for the remnants of the Gu Mansion! Li Cunmiao continued to be aggressive, he wanted to pry a little bit out of Nalan's mouth, so that he would have an excuse to carry out everything next.
"Nope." Still with an indifferent smile, the tone is still calm and waveless, as if it is like a lake frozen for thousands of years, no matter how hard you try, you can't break through the thick ice.
A raging flame ignited in Li Cunmiao's heart, rising from the deepest part of his heart like the flames of the corridor, and Nalan still didn't turn around, still staring into the distance. Li Cunmiao suddenly laughed, a little funny, but he still couldn't hide his smile. Hearing this, Nalan turned around and asked with some confusion, "You're not worried at all?" ”
"What should come will always come, and if you come, you can't leave. It is an eternal truth that a war will always end when one side dies. Now in this inner palace, people with different hearts have gathered, and I have my own magic method to catch them all. Li Cunmiao naturally knew what Nalan was worried about, or what he asked to change the topic, but it was something he had to think about at the moment.
The immeasurable city of Kuma, who led a group of black-armored iron corpses, was rampage in the inner palace at this time. Originally, I thought that if I stepped into this place, I would be able to break through it, but who knew that this Luoyang Inner Palace was actually a five-element array, if it wasn't too reckless, it wouldn't be lost.
Li Cunqiao said this, naturally he had enough confidence to deal with everything that would happen next, and at this time he was already strategizing and was going to win the battle here.
Nalan stopped talking, and continued to turn his head to look at the corridor, he knew that Gu Xing and the others had already walked into this place, and when they found this place, maybe everything would be settled.
…………
However, it was said that Gu Xing and Bai Ya were like great enemies, and there were only a few dark blue lanterns in this "world" hall, which were also flickering at this time, as if they would be extinguished at any time. But Gu Xing and the two of them clearly felt that danger was approaching, and this sense of oppression had not appeared for a long time.
Just as the two of them tensed their nerves, several cold arrows suddenly shot out from behind the curtains on both sides of the inner sanctum, shooting at the two of them. This sudden change surprised the two. Since stepping into the "world" palace, Gu Xing and Bai Ya have been constantly trapped in the illusion, almost falling into it and unable to extricate themselves.
And these cold arrows, it seems that when the two of them fall into a fantasy realm, they can shoot the two on the spot without much effort.
Gu Xing and Bai Li didn't have time to think about the reason, so they could only dodge first, and then jump behind the beams and pillars before they could dodge this sudden blow. Before the two of them could breathe, the sound of machine expansion began to sound on the beams and pillars again, and above the heads of the two people, there were also dozens of bows and crossbows facing the two people, and the tips of the arrows emitted a faint cold light.
This change made the two even more frightened, if the two sides could still dodge, then this cold arrow from the top down, even if it was a top master, would be shot into a hedgehog.
Without words, the two of them had a tacit understanding and flashed out from behind the pillars, and with this momentum, they rushed to the other side of the inner hall. Just as the two of them left the beam, the cold arrow above their heads had already swooped down, nailing into the stone slab on the floor of the inner sanctum.
