Chapter 5: Breaking the Realm
After listening to what Chunting said, we suddenly understood our current situation.
It turned out that when we entered Black Rock City, we had unconsciously entered the illusion that the builders had arranged in advance.
And the reason why we can't see things is not because of how dark it is, but because the illusion deprives us of our five senses, so we are full of darkness and don't feel the slightest light.
But fortunately, Chunting happened to know a way that could allow us to crack the environment and restore our five senses, and that was the so-called Red Heart Candle in his mouth, that is, the candlestick that Yi He led us to find with his intuition.
And what is needed to light this candlestick is not a flame in the ordinary sense, but the blood of a person with a pure heart, and only by using this blood as lamp oil can the red heart candle be successfully lit again and let us break through the realm.
"This illusion that can deprive the five senses was invented by a Mo family during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this person is a person with the same pure heart as Shen Lang, and the reason why he invented this illusion was actually just to prevent his tomb from being stolen."
Just when we were sighing at the magic of this illusion and the red heart candle, Chunting spoke again and explained to us the illusion we are in now.
"According to rumors, this illusion itself does not have any offensive power, nor does it cause any harm to people, this illusion will only deprive the person who enters it of the five senses, if the person who enters the illusion does not make any radical moves, then there is no need to worry about the damage caused by the illusion."
"But as we all know, human beings are curious and fearful, after losing the five senses, people will sharply increase their fear, it is difficult for someone to stay awake in that state, and this illusion is usually arranged with traps, and people will trigger the deadly trap sooner or later in a panic."
"What's more, people are not iron, nor are they immortals, so they naturally need to eat and sleep to maintain their state, but in this environment, due to the loss of the five senses, people's perception of fatigue will also be greatly weakened, and they can't eat, can't rest, and can't get any supplements at all."
"In other words, if you can't find a solution to the problem, then even if you don't trigger any deadly traps, sooner or later the people in it will stay in this illusion forever because they are overworked and can't get enough replenishment and rest."
Although we were still unable to see at this time, Chunting seemed to sense our fear when we heard this, so he changed his words and began to comfort us.
"But the situation is far from so bad, it is rumored that this illusion can deprive people of the five senses, but I don't know if the person who built it intentionally, or if this person has not mastered the most primitive arrangement, the illusion we are facing today only deprives the five senses of vision, and has no effect on the other four senses."
"This is an imperfect illusion in itself, and there are still people among us who have a child's heart, as long as we have a child's heart, we can light the heart candle, and as long as the heart candle is lit by us, then the illusion we are in now will disappear immediately."
Hearing this, Shen Lang slowly spoke, and his voice changed from playing with the cynicism of the past to becoming extremely serious.
"Brother Ting, why is it that only people with a pure heart can light this red heart candle, is there any other story in it?"
"The reason is actually very simple, the great power is worried that this illusion will accidentally hurt his heirs, so he left the Red Heart Candle as the life door to crack the illusion, and the reason why only the heart of a child can light the Heart Candle is because this person is a person with a heart of innocence like you." Let's have a book
After hearing Shen Lang's inquiry, Chun Ting replied to him without hesitation.
If you want to become his disciple, in addition to talent and hard work, another extremely important factor is whether you have a pure heart, only a person with a pure heart can become his disciple and inherit his mantle."
"Because of this, when this candle was cast, this great power was integrated into his own blood, and only the blood of a person with a pure heart can resonate with the blood in the red heart candle, so that the red heart candle can be lit again, and he wants to use this method to prevent the illusion from accidentally hurting his own descendants."
Hearing this, everyone had no more doubts.
What we are facing now is an incomplete illusion in itself, and it just so happens that Shen Lang has a pure heart, and he can completely use this to light the red heart candle and crack the illusion, which cannot but be said to be a great coincidence.
But on second thought, is this really a coincidence?
We unconsciously fall into an illusion, only the blood with a pure heart can make us break out of the situation, and there happens to be Shen Lang, a person with a pure heart, is there really such a coincidence in this world?
However, it is obvious that now is not the time to think about this issue, after sorting out the context of the matter, Shen Lang spoke again, and there was no trace of doubt in his tone, but full of determination.
"Brother Ting, I understand, you say, what do I need to do now, how can I get everyone out of the realm?"
"It's very simple, just like Han Chuan in the Vientiane Divine Palace, you only need your blood, the Red Heart Candle is not an extraordinary thing, as long as your blood drops into it, after feeling the pure heart contained in the blood, it can spontaneously combust immediately without the flame, and the illusion will be solved immediately."
Although they couldn't see Chunting's expression, everyone could hear the calmness in his tone, and unconsciously, this calmness made everyone feel inexplicably down-to-earth and reassured, it seemed that as long as Chunting was there, he would think of a solution to even if it was a big thing.
"Shen Lang, you don't have to worry, the Red Heart Candle can spontaneously combust as long as you feel the same blood breath, so you don't need a lot of blood, just three or five drops, you don't have to worry about whether you will be damaged."
Hearing what Chunting said, Shen Lang let out a hearty laugh, and his words were full of ease.
"Brother Ting, what are you talking about, although I, Shen Lang, am simple-minded, but I am not a timid person, don't say that as long as three or five drops of blood can break through, as long as everyone can leave this illusion intact, even if I want to spill all the blood of my body, what's the difficulty?"
However, after these words, Shen Lang paused slightly, and then asked with a little doubt.
"But Brother Ting, we can't see at the moment, and I can't be sure of the exact shape of this candlestick now, so how can I make sure that I can drip blood on the candlestick?"
