Chapter 323: Strange Illusion

Xiao Yao stood in front of the window and looked out, the lights outside the window were flickering, and someone was releasing sky lanterns from time to time. Looking at the sky lanterns flying in the air, Xiao Yao remembered that today was the Midyear Festival.

When the moon arrives in Zhongyuan, she is in a foreign country, the more people are concerned, the more she misses, and she doesn't know what she is doing during the Qixi Festival, and she doesn't know when she will find the other side of her wandering.

His mind wandered, and he inadvertently looked far away, and saw those strange figures in a row.

This mid-year festival is really not peaceful.

Xiao Yao flashed out of the window, and then covered himself in an alley on the side of the street, carefully observing the row of strange figures.

At this time, it is approaching, and ordinary people have already closed their doors to rest. And those strange figures were wandering the streets at this time, and their behavior was so abnormal, it was difficult not to be suspicious.

Xiao Yao followed closely and looked closely, only to see that the row of people seemed to be floating around aimlessly on the road.

There were seven people in a row, but they couldn't see their faces clearly. Judging from the clothing, it is neither the Miao costume of Miao Jiang nor the Hanfu of the Central Plains, but they each wear a black robe. The robe was so long that it dragged to the ground, and no other features were visible.

The figures of the seven people are extremely elegant, they are weak and boneless, and they are not the way ordinary people walk, as if they are floating around. Look at them again, but they are just walking around the square.

And at this moment, the soldiers outside the Tusi Mansion all disappeared for no reason. Or someone else was transferred out of here in advance.

Ever since Xiao Yao saw these seven figures, he suddenly had an irrepressible sense of curiosity in his heart, and this curiosity kept urging Xiao Yao to follow these strange figures to find out.

And the same is true of the primitive desires in my heart, wanting to follow the past and figure out who they really are and what they are doing.

Xiao Yao suddenly realized that his mood had changed, and immediately activated the true qi of the free swim, and a burst of coolness suddenly hit, and the restlessness just now disappeared.

And at this moment, the seven strange-shaped people seemed to have never appeared and disappeared. At the corner of the street, someone was burning paper money for his deceased family, and the guards in front of the Tusi Mansion seemed to have been standing there and had not disappeared.

Is it a hallucination?!

Xiao Yao couldn't believe it, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Is there such a realistic illusion?

And I don't know how to produce hallucinations. Is someone playing tricks on themselves, or is they poisoning?

Xiao Yao once again rotated his true qi around his body, but there was nothing abnormal.

Just as Xiao Yao was checking himself, several people flashed out next to the Tusi Mansion.

At first, a few people, like Xiao Yao, hid their bodies in the dark. It's just that at this moment, the figures of several people began to become weird, just like the seven people Xiao Yao thought were hallucinations just now.

Several dark shadows began to walk towards the way up the mountain, and neither seemed to notice each other's existence. Sometimes two people are already close together, but there is no sign of noticing the other.

Could it be that these people have also fallen for illusion?! A cold sweat oozed from his back, and at the same time, he was secretly glad that if he hadn't run the getaway in time, he was afraid that at this moment, like these people, he would have fallen into someone else's illusion. That's dangerous.

Xiao Yao was sure that no one else was behind him, so he quietly followed.

It seems that this illusion is not only won by himself, but also other people, it seems that they have not woken up yet, and they are still in the world of illusion.

And he escaped by luck by getaway.

Then, there must be something in common between himself and these black shadows, so they will fall for this illusion at the same time.

Observing the ordinary people who were still burning paper at the entrance of the alley, there was nothing abnormal.

Seeing this, Xiao Yao secretly raised his vigilance and was alert to every move around him.

The black shadow in front of him no longer hid his figure, but walked directly on the road.

And several people, like the seven black shadows that Xiao Yao had seen before, began to stand in a row, each other bowed their heads, and the people behind put their hands on the shoulders of the person in front of them.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yao was secretly shocked in his heart. Such a powerful illusion can actually control people's minds, so the six people in front of him are counted as a total of seven. It happened to be the same number as the group of people I saw before, but I didn't know who the six people in front of me were.

Xiao Yao continued to follow the six people from a distance, all the way to the platform where several cave girls danced that night. At this time, on the platform, there was a person standing there, dressed in white, holding a lantern without lights, which looked particularly eye-catching in the middle of the night, and it was so weird.

Seeing the six people coming to the platform, the man in white threw the lantern in his hand forward, and the lantern happened to fall into the hands of the first of the six people. Then I saw the six people start walking towards the cave where the cave girl worships the moon.

At this moment, I saw that next to the white-robed man, a man in black suddenly flashed, as if he appeared out of thin air.

Although the moonlight was as clear as snow at this moment, before the man in black appeared, Xiao Yao did not notice the existence of the man in black at all.

Xiao Yao absolutely didn't believe that this person appeared in an empty bottle, there was only one possibility-this person's martial arts cultivation was definitely not lower than his own.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yao was more cautious, so as not to be discovered by this person.

"No, there should be seven people, why only six? Could it be that the god stick of the Witch God Temple is deceiving us?! A strange man's voice.

"How could it be, they only found out about this matter temporarily, it seems that something went wrong in the middle, but we don't have to worry about this, anyway, there are other people, aren't they all in the hole?" The man in white returned to the Tao.

"I hope those gods in Phoenix Mountain don't lie to us, otherwise our Zhong family will definitely make them regret it."

"Brother Zhong is too worried, this time our Wuliu faction is also fully prepared, and we are not afraid of what tricks these barbarians will play."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Xiao Yao suddenly guessed the identities of the two.

It turned out to be someone from the Xichuan Zhong family and a person from the Jiangxi Wuliu faction. And listening to their conversation, it seems that the two factions are also related to the Witch Temple.

Xiao Yao didn't dare to get too close, so he had to wait slowly.

"It's just that I didn't expect that Tantra actually stood on the side of the Witch God Temple, it seems that our two factions should be more careful." The man in black said.

"Don't worry about those bald donkeys, presumably Brother Zhong has already gotten news in the family before he came." The man in white said nonchalantly.

"What's the news?" The man in black was stunned when he heard this.

"Brother Zhong, Ming people don't say dark words. It's not kind to say that. Naturally, it is the news that the imperial court has changed its land and returned to the stream. I believe that at this time, the Wushen Temple and Tantra are just huddled together to keep warm, and the imperial court is only afraid that Qinghai-Tibet will be the next Miao Jiang after the success of the Miao Jiang reform and return to the stream. But they would never dare to do anything excessive, that would only give the imperial court an excuse to send troops. Bai Yi explained.

"I heard the news from the head of the family before I came, but the head of the family still wants us to be more careful after entering Miao Jiang, and talk to the Taoist elders more about everything. And don't hide it from the Dao Master, of the disciples we sent out to inquire around, only four of the five people came back, and it is estimated that one has been killed. It's just that there are still no clues, and it is impossible to find out who caused the poison. The man in black said.

"Brother Zhong, you are just too anxious! I want to inquire about everything first, you see something is wrong now, right?! Don't worry, this Kang Daren's son is said to have been seriously injured by the people of Peng Wangfu, isn't this a good opportunity? I'm going to see what happens to the Witch God Temple and King Miao, so our actions will be much smoother now. The man in white said.

"The slut surnamed Hu of the Poison Dragon Sect is a nail, we have to be careful, that slut didn't come this time, and I don't know who she will send out tomorrow, but the blood of the Witch Clothes Sect is very good, this person still knows the current affairs and knows how to protect himself." The man in black snorted coldly.

"This time there must be no loss, otherwise neither of us will be able to explain to the Zongzheng Mansion, and that is something that the royal family wants, we must not let him fall into the hands of others, as for other things, we can force the Witch God Temple and the Four Great Tusi to bow their heads, and it is not as we think when it comes." The man in white smiled and said confidently.

"Brother Dao, there should be no problem, let's go in and take a look, don't let that tantric bald donkey make a name for yourself." The man in black urged.

I saw the two talk for a while, then turned around and entered the cave together.

Xiao Yao saw the two of them enter the cave, and immediately followed, and continued to hide in the place where he hid last time.

I saw that at this time, in addition to the six people just now, there were seven or eight people in the cave. Moreover, there are more than a dozen torches lit in the cave, which illuminates the cave very brightly.

This is the first time Xiao Yao has looked at this cave so clearly and carefully, the cave is about fifty zhang square, the surrounding stone walls are covered with moss, but the ground in the middle is very clean, and there are a few people standing by the waterhole in the center, looking at something by the water's edge.

And the gap in the roof of the cave was still the same as last night, and the silver-gray moonlight was falling. The six men who had entered the cave were standing on the edge of the waterhole, as if they were frozen by something.

"Everyone is here, but there is one less bait tonight." The man in black said.

"It doesn't matter, six is enough, maybe the Wei family and the Wu family are reluctant to give us so many people." Another of the men in black said.

"If it weren't for Master Kang this time, we wouldn't have been able to ask for these six bait from the Wei family and the Wu family, it seems that we will definitely be able to fish out that thing tonight."

"Master Zongga, let's start, this is also your chance to express your tantra, don't let Master Kang down." The man in white said.

I saw a man with a black cloak covering his figure, lifting the cloak on his head, revealing a shiny bald head, "Good, good." This was originally a sin-making thing, but in order to destroy the demon, it had to be done. Amitabha~"

The monk was followed by two small sand muds, who also stood up at this time, and began to paste a yellow talisman paper on each of the six people standing upright on the edge of the waterhole.

"Master Zongga, you are from Phoenix Mountain, are the witch gods of the Witch God Temple sure that thing is here?" The black-clothed man of the Zhong family asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, the little monk has already asked this clearly. The witch god himself said that that thing had not been back since it escaped from Phoenix Mountain. But he needed to eat high-grade silkworm Gu once a year, so he followed the breath of phoenix wood and went directly to the place where the girls lived in each village. The high-level Gu worms of those cave girls became his food, and fortunately, these cave girls also needed the phoenix wood of the Witch God Temple. So every time he appeared, he would report to the Witch Temple as soon as possible. A few days ago, the cave girl here had already reported that the thing in the Witch Temple had appeared here. Master Dzonga said to a few people.

"Then what about the original cave girl here, why haven't we seen any of them?" The man in black asked the man from the Zhong family.

"It's good, it's good, it should all be accidental. Because the cave girl here has been cultivating the Yin Silkworm Gu for the Witch God Temple, and that thing appeared here, the Witch God Temple had no choice but to abandon the Yin Silkworm Gu in this cave. That thing's temperament would change drastically every time he ate a high-level Gu worm, and the Yin Silkworm Gu here might have aroused his ferocity, so those cave girls might have been eaten by him. Guru Dzonga reasoned.

"In this way, that thing is really a monster, then we can also be regarded as eliminating harm to the world this time, and it is a merit. Collected this monster for the way of heaven, lest he come out again and endanger the world. The man in white from the Wuliu faction said generously.

"Good, good, that monster is very powerful, otherwise we wouldn't need to use the poisonous method of "Seven People" to tempt it out. I hope there will be one less demon in the world. Master Zonga folded his hands together and said softly.
