What is Illusion?

It is recorded in "Liezi": During the reign of King Mu of Zhou, the nationalized people of the West Pole came, entered the water and fire, penetrated the gold and stone, reversed the mountains and rivers, moved the city, took advantage of the void and did not fall, did not hinder the truth, and was ever-changing, and could not be exhausted.

It shows that at least in the pre-Qin period, there were already illusion techniques such as escape, transportation, levitation, and disguise, and there were clear and feasible ways to learn.

Illusion, also known as "dazzle", people who are proficient in illusion are called illusionists or good dazzle people, who can walk on fire, follow the blade, plant melons, move wells, and stand up for clouds and mist, and sit into mountains and rivers.

The illusionists of Chu State, when Zhu Daorong and Sun Guan are the most, the two are the leaders of Buddhism and Taoism, the competition is fierce, from time to time to show a miracle, in order to strengthen the faith of their respective disciples, all kinds of mysterious illusions are at their fingertips, and no one in the world can see the clues. When Qiantang Lake Yaji Shi Zhu Fayan once performed spitting live fish, Du Mingyu also drove the sword to kill ghosts, which are all a kind of illusion.

The secret master Chen Chan assumed the pseudonym Cao Gu, mixed in the Heavenly Master's Dao, and was promoted to the high position of the sacrificial wine in Nanyu Prefecture, coupled with the family history, the cultivation in illusion is still above Zhu Fayan and Du Mingyu. Secretly following him for more than ten years, he has learned a lot of illusions, such as this breakthrough, he first secretly burned the incense of the gods, confused the sanity of the three trigrams, and then used ventriloquism as the sound of male and female affairs, and then let Xu You and An Yuxiu hide behind the tent to borrow the position to cooperate, and they just acted in a good show of turning the phoenix upside down.

When Liu Yan received the report, he snorted coldly, but there was pride in his eyes, and he said to the henchman beside him: "I hate it the most in my life, it is a hypocrite like Xu You!" is clearly lustful and ruthless, but he wants to pretend to be disgusting in front of me. Now with a little trick, I have picked off his hypocrisy and hypocrisy, and I will see what kind of face this shaft will have to give me arrogance in the future! ”

This henchman's name is Han Sheng, he is the person who followed Liu Yan when he was in Guangzhou, but he is not the kind of ranger who took refuge in Tang Zhiyi later, he licked his lips and said with a smile: "What the general said is, but it is too cheap Xu You, that An Yuxiu's appearance is very beautiful, even I am very itchy." ”

Liu Yan scolded: "Stupid! An Yuxiu is a dignified princess of the empire, what kind of identity? Stay in our hands, the crisis is enough to save your life. Don't look at her and Xu You, who are willing to do so, but if you and I take possession of you, I will definitely die! An Yuxiu, who is dead, is worthless, if Xiaotian takes the initiative to be angry, can you afford it? ”

Han Sheng said yes again and again, and said: "How can I have such courage, even if I have courage, I don't have such blessings...... Princess? Fold life, fold life! ”

The lord who dares to rebel, there is no coward, even the emperor can pull off the horse, let alone a princess? It's just that An Yuxiu still has value for Du Mingyu, so he ordered Liu Yan to strictly protect him and not make any mistakes. The hierarchy in the church is strict, there are orders from above, and those who disobey die, how can Han Sheng not know? So seeing that the fat in his mouth can only be cheaper, Xu You, an outsider, has nothing to say about the same life.

In the evening of the next day, Du Mingyu personally led 2,000 reinforcements back to Qiantang, but encountered an ambush by Fuzhou soldiers on the way, with heavy casualties, and only 1,000 people broke through desperately and entered the city from the south gate. Without waiting to wash the dust, he immediately summoned Liu Yan and said angrily: "You sent a messenger from Ziling last night, saying that Qiu Yuan led the crowd to attack the city, and the casualties were very serious, and the troops were repairing in the camp, and there was no abnormal movement of troops and horses. Then you come and tell me, the thousands of Fuzhou soldiers who appeared in Xijinyi in the early hours of this morning came out of the ground? ”

Liu Yan's face was as earth-colored, he knelt on the ground, and said: "Little God Mingjian, I released thirteen scouts to cover dozens of miles around Qiantang, unless Qiu Yuan has the magic power to transform shape, otherwise, it is impossible for the Fuzhou soldiers to go to Xijin Post to set up an ambush!" ”

"Huh? Are you sure? ”

Liu Yan took out the long knife at his waist, stretched it across his neck, and said: "If there is a word of falsehood, don't take Xiaotian's initiative, I will take my head and offer it!" ”

Du Mingyu's complexion was a little pale, he still trusted Liu Yan's ability very much, otherwise he would not have left him alone to stick to Qiantang, and after a little hesitation, he said, "Get up!" ”

Liu Yan put away the knife, layers of fine sweat appeared on his body, and he secretly looked at Du Mingyu's expression, and said tentatively: "Besieging the city and sending reinforcements is not too surprising tactics...... But Qiu Yuan has a total of only 20,000 horses, and the brave will not exceed 5,000, and the rest are pigs and sheep wearing military uniforms, which are acceptable for human heads, and it is just a joke to go into battle to kill the enemy. His strength in besieging the city is not enough, and I don't think he will have the strength and courage to send people to set up an ambush and take the risk of intercepting the reinforcements of the little God...... Besides, when the little God will return to the army and which way to go, even I didn't know until yesterday, how can Qiu Yuan calculate the timing so well? This man is a reckless man, and he has no such wisdom......"

Du Mingyu was startled, his eyes soared with cold light, and he said, "It's Zhu Zhi!" ”

This time it was Liu Yan's turn not to understand, and said, "Zhu Zhi? Didn't the three generals lead their troops to attack Fuchun, how could Zhu Zhi jump out of the encirclement and lead his troops to ambush the little god instead? ”

"Jiangzuo Zhuge is worthy of his name!"

Du Mingyuteng got up and strode out. He did not explain to Liu Yan that he was summoned by the Great God to go to Huiji this time, and he learned an extremely unfavorable news from it, and this news must be tightly sealed, otherwise the army's morale will be chaotic. In order to deal with this unfavorable news and make long-term plans for the future, the overall strategy will be adjusted, and the troops and horses of other counties should not be mobilized, so they can only transfer troops to the nearest place to help Qiantang. So Du Mingyu detoured to Fuchun, divided the three thousand soldiers and horses in the hands of the three generals and rushed back to Qiantang all night, I thought that the gods were unaware, but I didn't expect Zhu Zhi to set up an ambush halfway, now think about it, those soldiers wearing Yangzhou Prefecture military uniforms should be the private soldiers raised by the Zhu family, one by one, they are not afraid of death, brave and good at fighting, far more terrible than those soldiers in Qiu Yuan's hands.

Liu Yan was inexplicable, but Du Mingyu didn't say anything, so he naturally didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly followed, picking up important military affairs and reporting to Du Mingyu as he went. Du Mingyu nodded from time to time, praised Liu Yan twice, and asked casually, "What about An Yuxiu?" ”

"An Yuxiu ...... in Xu You's room"

"What?"

Du Mingyu stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at Liu Yan, his face was full of doubts, and said, "What are you doing when you put An Yuxiu in Xu You's room?" ”

"Xu You prides himself on being tall, I just want to see if he can make him ugly with the appearance of a champion princess!"

"Nonsense!"

Du Mingyu's anger came out again, and said: "Since Princess Haiyan An Yuyi is missing, in the clan of Chu State, An Yuxiu is the most favored by An Zidao. Although she was exempted from the title of Princess of Sanyin because of her previous events, she was still given the title of champion princess, which shows that the saint is still in decline. If this woman is in hand, once Qiantang is in danger and threatens with her life, it can at least be delayed for a while, so that you and I can deal with it calmly. Hmph, I don't believe that An Yuxiu was tied to the city, and Qiu Yuan still dared to order the siege of the city? But what if she is so humiliated that she kills herself in anger? ”

His voice was low, not angry but mighty, but Liu Yan was not as flustered as just now, and said in a low voice: "Little God, rest assured, An Yuxiu looks dignified, but in fact she is no different from An Yuyi, and she has only been with Xu You for a few days, not only did she not seek death and life, but she secretly promised to go to the bed hand in hand......"

"Oh? Is there such a thing? ”

Liu Yan nodded and said: "In this way, An Yuxiu was held by us, and the horse had just died for half a month, but she volunteered to be with others, which was not in line with etiquette and insulted the royal family, if she didn't want to be ruined, she could only let us rub it." The most important thing is that Xu You finally revealed his true nature, he was in danger, and he was still obsessed with women, which was really unwise; knows the identity of the princess, but it is still difficult to hold herself, which shows disloyalty; taking advantage of people's danger and inferior character proves that they are unkind and unjust; Such an unfaithful, unwise, and unrighteous guy will definitely not have a good impression of Xu You anymore when it reaches the ears of the Five Heavens......"

It turned out that all kinds of things he did were just to pour sewage on Xu You and shoot Du Mingyu's ass. Du Mingyu glanced at him coldly, but didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the main building in the backyard.

Liu Yan lowered his head, with a chuckle on the corner of his lips, knowing that this matter was very satisfactory to Du Mingyu. For him, as long as Du Mingyu is happy, he naturally doesn't have to worry about his future future, and everything else is secondary!

"Shichiro, I haven't seen you for a few days, how can you rest?"

Du Mingyu pushed the door in, laughing and arching his hands. Xu You got up to greet him and said with a smile: "The blessing of sacrificial wine!" He hadn't seen Du Mingyu for a while, and he thought that the Qiantang soldiers were fighting in a dangerous place, and the gentleman did not set up a dangerous wall, and the sacrificial wine of the Heavenly Master Dao Yangzhou must have retreated to the hinterland of Nanyang early, where it was safer and could also be commanded in the center, but he didn't expect to return to Qiantang at this time.

When An Yuxiu saw the person coming, her body trembled slightly, and the horror in her eyes was even greater than the hatred. She can't forget that night, the gate of He's Dock Fort was deceived by He Jie, who suddenly appeared, that is, the person in front of her broke into the fort with rebellious soldiers, burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil, and then in front of her, all the men of the He family, from the old man to the children, all the heads were cut off, and the He family was wiped out overnight.

Du Mingyu stood on a high platform, his face was like a crown of jade, his body was like a pine, his dusty demeanor was unparalleled in the world, but he let the blood flow like a river under his feet, and he didn't even blink his brows.

He is a demon crawling out of hell!

An Yuxiu lowered her head, her body stiff and didn't dare to move!

Du Mingyu didn't even look at her, and said, "I asked people to prepare wine and food on the island in the middle of the lake, if Qilang is not sleepy like me, would you like to have a few drinks together?" ”

"Good!"

Xu You stretched out his hand, turned sideways, and said, "Sacrificial wine first, please!" ”

"Let's go!" Du Mingyu grabbed Xu You's wrist, looked very close, walked to the door side by side, turned around and smiled slightly: "The princess doesn't have to wait, go to bed quietly, I and Qilang won't get drunk tonight!" ”

An Yuxiu's face flushed, it seems that yesterday's incident was hidden from Liu Yan, and there is no need to worry about being sent to be a camp prostitute. She didn't know what method Xu You used, but she just listened to what he said, promising to fool Liu Yan, and she was a little apprehensive in her heart, and only then did she really believe that Xu You didn't lie to her.

She became more and more curious about Xu You, trapped in the fighting room, life and death in the hands of others, he was still so powerful, she really couldn't imagine how much surprising ability he had? Of course, in addition to curiosity, she is also grateful, Xu You did not take advantage of her poisoning and ruined her innocence, because she was almost certain that even if something really happened last night, she would not blame Xu You, Xu You also knew this, but he just held back!

Listening to the footsteps of the two of them in the distance, An Yuxiu's stiff body moved, exhaled a long breath, sat down on the futon, was silent for a while, turned his head to look at the blurred shadow on the window, touched his cheek, and a sentence inexplicably came to his mind:

Did he really have a heart for me?
