Chapter 17: Illusion
From time to time in the tower, there are sounds of heaven every day, but I want to understand that these fascinating sounds are the sound of life. Pondering for many days, unfamiliar musical instruments, unfamiliar self. It was as if he had been abandoned by heaven and earth, and he didn't know where he came from or where he was going. In addition to protecting the mind from being disturbed, every day in addition to eating and drinking. On this day, I suddenly felt sleepy, and the will to support the floating wish gradually collapsed, and I fell asleep in a moment. In the dream, I returned to the field with the fragrance of grass again, the blue sky was still there, the white clouds were still there, and my brother was also there. One after the other frolicked in the fields, and the sound of slapstick and laughter covered the heavens and the earth.
"The moon is crooked, the wind is gentle.... White flowers are singing..... Birds fly, fish swim.... Mom's hand is so warm...... "My brother hummed the nursery rhyme softly, my brother has always sung this song for many years, maybe he will only have this one, but every time I lie on my brother and listen to this nursery rhyme, I can always let myself fall asleep quickly."
"Brother......" A smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and when he opened his eyes again, his brother was already gone. was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to gradually ease up, and the smile on the corner of his lips gradually disappeared. Thinking back to the nursery rhyme hummed by my brother in my dream, I wanted to try to hum it, but suddenly found that no matter how big my mouth was, I couldn't make a sound. I tried again and again, but there was nothing but a dry "ahhhhh
It turned out that the tower had been closed for so long that he had forgotten how to speak. Fu Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart, the face in his memory had long been blurred, and even he felt strange. And now she can't speak anymore, even if she walks out of this Futu Tower, the world has long forgotten her. Even if my brother is standing in front of me, I am a stranger, and I can't even scream at my brother. The sadness in his eyes was revealed, and he choked in his throat, no matter how depressed his heart was, he couldn't even shed a tear.
Everyone in the tower was attracted by the hoarse sound of "ahhhh Seeing that Fu Yuan was in despair and pain and couldn't extricate himself, everyone seemed to sense a good time to make a move, and picked up the musical instrument in their hands one after another, long, stretching, unrestrained, magnificent, poignant, and resentful Countless voices were intertwined and coiled, restraining each other, devouring each other, like a long dragon roaring.
Fu Yuan barely supported his body, looking at the urgency of everyone to kill him, his sad and painful eyes gradually calmed down, and then became fierce and cold. Lifting the internal force of the whole body to block everyone's attacks, from time to time to disturb the other party with the items in the tower with his mind. Until the last bit of strength was exhausted, she leaned against the wall with a residual gasp, she wanted to roar out the pain of life, and ask why this world was so unfair, so ruthless. However, he has long been speechless, and the breathtaking rhythm has gradually eroded into the brain, and he smiled bitterly, so many years of persistence, hard work, and tenacity have to come to an end here. In desperation, he looked up to the sky and laughed, only to hear a burst of laughter like a silver bell instantly resounded through the heavens and the earth, as if he had found an outlet, the laughter rolled wildly, the musical instruments in the tower had already been broken, and everyone danced, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying. Until the laughter stopped, everyone was still unsatisfied, indulging in their own world and unable to extricate themselves.
Fu Yuan stepped on the broken qin on the ground and went straight to the six-story tower.
The familiar aroma of fragrant herbs blows in the nose, yellow flowers are everywhere, and weeping willows are slow. Smoke curled in the distance, and Fu Yuan couldn't help but walk in. This is the paradise in my heart, the birds are singing, the flowers are dancing, and the laughter is the notes jumping like dragonflies in the water. Fu Yuan couldn't help but spin his body, following the rhythm of all things in heaven and earth. "Brother, come out quickly, I'm finally back..... It's just that the world is always like this, where is my brother? Suddenly came back to his senses, everything in front of him disappeared in an instant, and five or six people in the tower sat cross-legged.
Before he could take a closer look, his vision changed instantly, "Yin and Yang are not born, everything is destroyed, people can eat people like pigs and dogs, how can there be faith, where is vitality, hahaha....." A woman in a skirt like blood and hair like green silk hung in the air, as if she had the momentum of devouring the sky and the earth, but she couldn't see her face clearly. Thousands of snow blades swirled in, and in an instant, there were dead and wounded on the ground, rivers of blood flowing, and wailing incessantly...... Rao is a shocking sight, which actually gave the floating wish a sense of belonging, as if life should be like this. I am happy about life, and I hate it. As if feeling the call, the floating body slowly rose uncontrollably, and he was eager to merge with the woman in mid-air. Just as he was about to merge, the magnificent chant and prayer below him continued to flow, and a golden light instantly flew itself out.
"It turned out to be an illusion. Fu Yuan wiped the blood from his mouth, his long nails sank into his palms, and he looked at the few people in the tower vigilantly. The expressions of the people are different and constantly changing. Some of them have smiles on their lips, but their brows are furrowed. Some trembled, but they looked fascinated. Presumably, they all sink and resist in different illusions. These people are all masters of controlling people's minds and minds from the five-story tower, and they can easily spy on the state of mind of others. Nowadays, it is easy for people who do not have strong perseverance to indulge in the illusion of using the hidden inner vision of their opponents to create illusions. Why did the woman not see her appearance clearly but so familiar that she was eager to merge with it? I had a splitting headache but I couldn't see it, so I had to close my eyes and calm my mind to prevent others from prying eyes.
The last beam of light in the tower disappeared, and the occasional mottled starlight appeared, and he stood up and looked up at the moonlight and stars outside the small vent. How long has it been since I have seen the outside world? The cold wind blows, cool and refreshing, and I inhale greedily. In a trance, I saw the moonlight flickering brighter and darker, and then the stars I saw in front of me were instantly sucked into the darkness by a force. In the blink of an eye, except for the hazy and dim moonlight, it was pitch black and unusually silent. In astonishment, Fu Yuan stared at the night sky, as if looking for those points of light that had disappeared, and the night passed, and the stars that had been sucked into the darkness never appeared again. Feeling tired, he shrugged his sore shoulders, and when he turned around, the first rays of sunlight had shone into the tower. It's just that everyone in the tower seems to be still asleep, and there is no sign of waking up, and the snoring is coming and going. Fuyuan closed his eyes and concentrated on peeking into everyone's dreams, and without exception, it was all boundless darkness.
"Could it be that what I saw last night was an illusion that I had conjured, and these people had already sunk into it?" Fu Yuan thought secretly, and then cautiously walked up the stairs leading to the seven-story tower, until the top, these people still did not wake up. Don't do what he thinks, and step into the seventh layer with one foot.
