This chess piece was pleasantly surprised by his decision at this time, but just as he was about to prepare for his next move, a strange change suddenly occurred in the courtyard.

Gu Xing looked up at the sky, and around the lonely moon, which was originally light ink, many points of light suddenly appeared, flashing and disappearing. Bai Ya also noticed this strange phenomenon, but when the two of them looked at it again, the point of light disappeared along with the lonely moon.

And the white paper lantern on the path suddenly lit up, illuminating Gu Xing and Bai Ya couldn't open their eyes. The two of them hurriedly blocked it to avoid the sudden bright light that would cause temporary blindness. It stands to reason that the light of this lantern is so dazzling, and it is clear that someone has moved its hands and feet.

Just when the two of them were puzzled, there was a sound of slow footsteps on the path, which fell heavily on the stone slab of the path from far and near, and made a sound of stamping. Gu Xing hurriedly pulled out a short knife and held it across his chest, trying to slowly adapt to the strong light from the lantern between his fingers.

The man stopped when he came to the crossing, and did not continue to step forward, nor did he speak. Gu Xing saw a rickety old man carrying the same white paper lantern, looking at them with a smile. The old man was about sixty years old, and he had a wooden hairpin stuck in his head that had been dyed white by frost and snow.

Because of the lantern, Gu Xing couldn't see the face of the person who came clearly, but some inky black teeth in his mouth happened to be revealed in the white light. The old man was dressed in the ordinary eunuch clothes in the Inner Palace of the Later Tang Dynasty, but the material was better than that worn by ordinary eunuchs, and he should be a lieutenant official, a warden and the like.

It's just that I appeared here inexplicably at this time, I'm afraid that the person who came is not good. Gu Xing slowly moved away from the palm blocking in front of him, and looked at the person who came vigilantly, while Bai Ya shook the soft sword, as if facing a great enemy. But the old man didn't mean to make a move, he just raised his hand and motioned for the two to follow, and then silently turned around and walked the way he came.

Bai Li looked at Gu Xing inquiringly, Gu Xing looked around again, nodded silently, and the two followed one after the other. The old man in eunuch clothes didn't walk fast, but Gu Xing and Bai Ya couldn't catch up with the man's pace no matter how they ran, as if they deliberately kept their distance.

In less than half a stick of incense, the two finally walked out of the trail and suddenly became enlightened. A dense bamboo forest appeared in front of the two of them. At this time, it is the height of summer, and the green bamboo is lush, but at night it is strange and inexplicable. There is a low house next to the bamboo forest, and the architectural style is the same as that of the "right and wrong in the world" courtyard, and there is no unique inheritance of the Later Tang Dynasty, but it is unique.

It's a bit like the farmhouse that Gu Xing knew in his previous life, but it's different from it, or the proportions are deliberately adjusted, which is not so abrupt.

The old man pushed open the door and motioned for the two to enter it, Gu Xing and Bai Li glanced at each other, but they didn't dare to take a step forward. The old man seemed a little annoyed, and his black teeth pulled up and down to make a harsh sound, but the old man didn't say a word, just expressed his dissatisfaction.

At this time, this place was more empty than the other courtyard, Gu Xing did not pay attention to the old man's anger, but walked to the edge of the bamboo forest and kicked the root of one of the bamboos with all his might. This script should have been firmly kicked on the bamboo, but Gu Xing stumbled and fell forward.

Bai Li's eyes were quick and he hurriedly stepped forward to grab Gu Xing, and when the two of them saw clearly under their feet, it was an abyss. Bai Li couldn't care about the old man behind him anymore, and dragged Gu Xing up, and when the two turned around again, the dwarf house and the old man disappeared. And the path and the white paper lantern they came from also disappeared without a trace.

It was only then that the two realized that they were still in the environment. From the very beginning of the mental magic realm, to seeing as false just now, and then to touching it now, they did not get out of the illusion, but fell deeper and deeper. It's just that the place where you are at this time is not true or false, if you fall into the endless abyss, what will be life and death?

Suddenly a birdsong sounded in their ears, which made them tremble at the same time, and when they looked forward, they saw a narrow narrow road appear in front of them, and on both sides of the narrow road was an abyss that could not be seen at a glance. And the land behind them is rapidly crumbling and spreading at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

There was no way out, Gu Xing could only take the lead in stepping on the narrow road, and Bai Li followed. I didn't dare to look at my feet, so I could only walk forward. Another birdsong sounded, and the collapse behind him spread even more. Although I knew that it was an illusion and it was difficult to see the real scene with the naked eye, I was deeply immersed in it and could only follow my feet.

Gu Xing immediately quickened his pace, silently counting his steps, and running forward at the same time. Bai Li didn't know what Gu Xing meant, and he didn't bother, just ran forward along this narrow road. After Gu Xing counted one hundred and eight, the bamboo forest just now appeared in front of him again, as well as the old man with the lantern and the low house.

Gu Xing didn't hesitate at this moment, hugged his fist at the old man, turned around and walked towards the short house. After Bai Ya paused slightly, he also followed Gu Xing in. The old man was the last to walk into the low house, turned around and closed the door, the narrow road outside the door that the two had just walked had completely collapsed at this time, and the sound of landslides came, as if it were reality.

The two walked into the low house, only to find that there was a hole in the low house. I thought that there was only enough space for a few people to stop and rest, but there was actually a nine-story tower. And everything here seems to be back to normal, just like the Inner Palace building.

The old man nodded to the two with a smile, and disappeared into the darkness again. After he disappeared completely, Bai Li hurriedly asked, "Gu boy, do you know what all this is going on?" ”

Gu Xing nodded with a wry smile and said, "Aunt Bai may have guessed that since I set foot in the 'world' hall, I have already entered the illusion world. It's just that this illusion is both virtual and real, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. ”

"So we're out of the illusion now?" Bai Li asked eagerly.

Gu Xing nodded, shook his head again, and said a little helplessly: "This place is the same as what you saw when you first entered the inner palace, but the nine-story tower in front of you shouldn't appear here. So I'm not sure if I'm still in the illusion. ”

Bai Ya looked at the tower and was speechless, outside the eight views of Luoyang, this Luoyan Pagoda is the most famous, but this building is more than ten miles away from Luoyang, how to appear here for no reason, it is really incredible. It's about solving the puzzle here.

But if this is the case, it will be delayed again and again. If you end up like this, I'm afraid you will be trapped in this inner palace.

Just when Gu Xing was at a loss, he suddenly caught a glimpse of three people standing under the Luoyan Pagoda, who were also looking up at this pagoda, looking intently. Listening carefully, one of the older men cursed: "Why is this Raushzi Pagoda here, isn't it to deceive the old man?" ”

Another man who was still a little immature in tone said, "Senior Feng, there may be some mechanism here, if it is cracked, you can get out." ”

Just when the two of them were saying a word, one of the three who had not spoken from beginning to end suddenly rushed towards Gu Xing and Bai Li, and before Gu Xing could react, he slapped him on the cheek fiercely, and the other two looked at the abnormal movement here, and suddenly turned their heads.

Only then did Gu Xing see the face of the person who came, this woman with a tall and slender waist and a graceful figure, but her temper was extremely irritable, and she was about to dismantle Ren at every turn, who was not Lingling. It's just a coincidence that I bumped into it here, and it was really a bit narrow.

Bai Li saw that the woman gave Gu Xing a big mouth as soon as she came up, and hurriedly dragged Gu Xing behind her, and asked the woman with a smile: "But my Gu boy provoked the girl, and it was inconvenient to speak at this time, can you let it be said later?" ”

At this time, Feng Zhengyang and Leng Wanzhang, who had entered the inner palace with Lingling to follow, also came over, and when they saw Gu Xing, who had half of his head poking out from behind Bai Li, Leng Wanzhang hurriedly waved his hand. Lingling looked at it coldly, and Leng Wanzhang retreated again and again in fright.

This one was seen by Bai Li, and he knew it in his heart, "This girl has a pungent temperament, she must be familiar with Gu Xing, otherwise she wouldn't be able to do such a thing." ”

Without waiting for Ling Ling to speak, Gu Xing walked out from behind Bai Li, hugged his fist at Leng Wanzhang, and said hello, and then touched his somewhat red and swollen face and asked, "Which one are you making trouble?" ”

Ling Ling thought that after this slap, he would calm down, but Gu Xing actually ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to question her, so he pushed the knife out of the sheath and killed this eye-catching person on the spot. The woman who could be with Gu Xing had already blocked in front of him, her eyes were fierce, and she had the posture that if you make a move, I will take out the sword.

And the wind that was silent on the side was rising, but at this time it was a look of schadenfreude. This little Lingling doll is a powerful doll on weekdays, but at this time, he was forced back, how could he not be happy. Then he stood up and said loudly, "Why are you two here? ”

Bai Lei couldn't find out the risk of the wind rising, so he could only take a step back and hug his fists and said: "The seniors don't know, we are looking for the black armor army to pursue all the way here, but we strayed into the illusion, and happened to meet a few seniors, it seems that we are saved." In fact, the conversation between the three of them just now was listened to by the two of them, and at this time, such a statement is nothing more than to give the old-timers a step down, so as not to refute face.

This sentence was just about to be raised, and the dirty old man said with a smile: "The female doll is smart, we are thinking about how to crack it, but since you are here, let you crack it first, how about it?" ”

Bai Ya smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't expect this old man to be so cunning, he actually borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and wanted to throw this drudgery to them.

On that side, Lingling was already the first to take the lead, "Senior Feng, this Gu Xing has no virtue and no talent, I'm afraid I can't count on it, it's better to rely on ourselves." ”

Gu Xing was already a little annoyed when he heard this, but after thinking about it, Lingling? I am afraid that this move will mean something else, so I said weakly: "As the Lingling girl said, I am only a shallow learner in the next place, and I invite a few people to crack it." ”

Leng Wanzhang, who was listening to the words of several people, was already restless at this time, and hurriedly spoke: "Don't be humble, hurry up and find a way out, according to my observation, if you can't get out within half an hour, this place will collapse, and it will be difficult to leave by then." ”

The other four people were shocked when they heard this, and looked up, but there was a faint flash of thunder and lightning in the sky, which seemed to confirm that what Leng Wanzhang said was true......
