In the night wind, the five of us used the palms of our hands as oars, and finally rowed the raft to the opposite shore.

We passed through the wooden passage and returned to the chamber again.

Crack a few more, and we will be able to get out of the void hole and return to the real world.

Xiao Lin and the others hurriedly changed their attitude towards Senior Brother Hong, and apologized repeatedly, saying that it was because they were trapped in the illusion and were too impatient, so they accidentally collided with Senior Brother Hong.

Senior Brother Hong didn't seem to care about what happened in the illusion, smiled and patted Xiao Lin on the shoulder, indicating that he didn't care.

In fact, I know that once the crack of trust is created, it will be difficult to reconcile.

I'm ready to continue lighting the candle and move on to the next plane.

Senior Brother Hong held me down and asked, "Have you noticed that there seems to be a certain pattern in these illusion spaces?" ”

I felt the same way, but I didn't think much of it because I was tired of decrypting it.

Senior Brother Hong continued, "Have you noticed that our first illusion came out of the water, the second seemed to be in the wall, and the third was in the wooden frame passage. ”

I looked at him and asked, "Five elements?" ”

Senior Brother Hong nodded and said, "All the passages and exits are carefully designed by Li Qingfeng, let's not worry, analyze it for a while, otherwise we will be a little involuntary when we enter the illusion." ”

I nodded, then looked at the sun in the mural sky, and suddenly remembered that in every illusion space, there was also a star in the sky.

In the first illusion, the sky is Taibai (Venus), and the main body of the story in the illusion is the change of the Bamboo Forest Essence House and the Xuanwu Gate, and the exit is in the lake.

I suddenly realized: the stars in the sky, the five stars of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, were originally named by the ancients according to the five elements of yin and yang.

So in the first illusion, does Venus represent gold?

And the change of Xuanwu Gate, the big fight, the sword and the sword, is the representative of gold.

The outlet is the lake, and the five elements belong to water.

The five elements are mutually reinforcing, and gold is water.

Could it really be as Senior Brother Hong said, the law of this illusion is that the five elements are born together?

I then continued to think.

The second illusion is that the star Jupiter (Jupiter) appears in the sky at that time.

In the illusion story, it happens to be the Chongwen Hall and books that represent the wood, and the exit, although it is a wall, should be regarded as coming out of the fire according to the poem.

Wood makes a fire.

The third illusion that just appeared, in the sky is the evening star (Mercury).

The illusion story is that the dragon vein is slashed by the river, and the exit is a wooden passage.

Aquatic wood.

This explanation is a bit far-fetched, but it is reasonable.

Because in nature, the five elements are implicated, and it is difficult to completely separate them.

Then the rest are the glow (Mars) and the town (Saturn).

I was suddenly stunned, according to the trend of the story in the illusion combined with history, the following illusion is likely to tell the story of Li Junxian's Wei case.

The star it represents is the glow.

I hurriedly took off my cloak and threw it to the ground.

Senior Brother Hong looked at my movements, a little inexplicable, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

I told him all my analysis and speculation.

If I put on Li Junxian's cloak and enter the next illusion space, I would probably directly transform into Li Junxian.

Then what awaits me is killing.

I don't want to die in illusion.

Senior Brother Hong still picked up the cloak, held it in his hand, and said, "You see, we brought out the King of Qin Sword before, and then we used it on the dragon slaying vein. Now he has brought out Li Junxian's cloak and the Dividing Water Town Earth Sword, which must be used in the later time and space, since you are afraid, I should take it. ”

With that, he motioned for me to continue lighting the candle.

The candlelight was lit, and the sun in the dome moved again.

Senior Brother Hong beckoned everyone and said: "According to the analysis of the little Taoist just now, the next one is related to fire, it is likely to be fire, everyone be careful, and fire gives birth to earth, and the exit is likely to be related to soil, we will remember to pay attention later." ”

Xiao Lin hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Soon, the sun on the dome stopped moving again, the shadow of the candle moved to the other side, and the sundial time changed.

Once again, we are in the midst of a new space-time illusion.

I thought that because we were carrying Li Junxian's cloak in our hands, we would be caught by the Tang Army as soon as we entered the illusion.

When we came in, we were standing on the wall.

There were still soldiers keeping vigil by the city walls, and in the sky, it was indeed a bright star.

At this time, a Tang Army general stood in front of us, saluted us, and said, "General Li is patrolling ahead, please do so." With that, he led us forward.

Senior Brother Hong whispered to me, "I don't feel that this place is so familiar, I seem to have been here." ”

My impression of the ancient city walls is almost the same.

But Senior Brother Hong's eyesight has always been better than mine, he slowly leaned towards the city wall, glanced down, and said in horror: "This is the city wall on the Xuanwu Gate. ”

As soon as he said this, I also leaned over to take a look, although it was dim and I couldn't see clearly, but I felt that the scenery under the city fit the Xuanwu Gate in our first illusion.

After walking for a while, I saw a general standing in front of the light, and when we approached, he turned his head, it was Li Junxian.

But now I am no longer Li Qingfeng's appearance, and he doesn't seem to know us, but he quickly noticed the cloak that was being held by Senior Brother Hong.

He walked over with a smile, clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "It's been a year since the last time I said goodbye to the top of the mountain, and I didn't expect that Li Guoshi would have a contemptible cloak and send it to you." ”

We hurriedly returned the salute, and Brother Hong handed him the cloak, but we didn't know how to answer.

At this moment, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly felt a bright light, like a car headlight.

How could there be such a bright light in this Tang Dynasty night?

I hurriedly turned my head, and saw a fireball in the direction of the glowing star, as if it had fallen from the sky, and was smashing towards this side.

The entire sky was lit up with fireballs.

Could it be a meteorite?

The fireball got closer and closer, and the soldiers defending the city had never seen such a vision, and they panicked.

Li Junxian yelled calmly.

This is Skyfire?

I crouched down in fear.

Fortunately, the fireball grazed our heads and landed in the palace not far away.

Like an explosion, the palace not far away burst into flames.

Li Junxian, as the general of Zuo Wuwei, was in charge of the Xuanwu Gate Guard.

Now that the palace is on fire, he naturally can't sit idly by, and while beckoning the soldiers to perform their duties calmly, he took a few of his cronies and ran to the firelight.

We hurried over.

As soon as he arrived at the bottom of the city wall, a soldier came to report, the man was blackened, and knelt in front of Li Junxian to report: Report to the general, the fireball ignited the inner court, and now it is rolling in the direction of Daxing Palace.

Daxing Palace is the axis of Chang'an, the center of power of the Tang Empire.

Li Junxian naturally couldn't delay, and hurriedly greeted us: Quickly go to the stargazing platform to ask Li Qingfeng to tell him what he saw.

After speaking, he took the defenders under the wall and ran to the inner court.

It seems that he really thinks that we are Li Qingfeng's people and wants us to tell us.

However, he asked us to go to the stargazing platform, and we didn't know how to go.

I had an idea, ran to the city wall, found the general guarding the city, and said: "There is a vision in the sky, the world is panicked, General Li sent me to invite Li Guoshi to come over, and I am worried about the safety of the road, so I asked you to send a few soldiers to help protect it." ”

I had seen a vision just now, and when I heard us say this, I didn't ask too much questions, so I sent ten soldiers and took us to the stargazing platform.

The observatory is located on top of a hill in the suburbs.

There were Taoist priests guarding the foot of the mountain, and before they could ask, I took the initiative to say: "There was a vision in the sky just now, and you must have seen it, and I was ordered to invite the national teacher." ”

As soon as I said this, the Taoist priests thought that I was from the palace, so they hurriedly invited us in.

In ancient times, stargazing relied on the naked eye, so most of them were built on high places.

We followed the winding mountain road and finally reached the top of the mountain.

The so-called stargazing platform turned out to be a circular tower.

We pushed the door open and entered, only to see that the four walls of the building were full of brick holes, and there were books inside. Along the side of the building, there is a spiral wooden staircase that leads to the top of the tower.

The Taoist priest stopped us and said, "The national teacher has explained that the stargazing time should not be noisy, and only one person is allowed to go up." ”

Senior Brother Hong looked at me and meant to let me go up.

I followed the stairs and gradually climbed to the top of the tower.

The space at the top is not large, about a circle with a radius of about seven meters, and there is an armillary sphere in the middle, and a white-clothed Taoist priest is leaning over to observe the celestial phenomena.

He didn't look back, as if he knew I was coming and why I came.

He said softly: "What fell from the sky was not a fireball, but a divine beast. ”
