CHAPTER XIV

Gu Yan quickly shuttled through the burning attic, dodging a falling stone, and he couldn't help but scold: "These crazy people! โ€

Time went back to the small pavilion on the top of the tree.

Gu Yan, who was just about to get off the tree, suddenly saw the attic under the tree burning, he was stunned and turned back to Yan Qing and asked, "This is 'surprise'?" It's also illusion, too. โ€

"Brother Yan's illusion is not those simple charlatans, but can directly affect people's behavior and hearts, let me simply tell you, if you are burned in this fire, then that person will think that he has been burned, and..."

Mingyue Wangshu smiled warmly: "We didn't say that it's all illusions down here..."

"Kiss!"

Gu Yan pushed open the purple iron door, and a wooden stake leaning on the door fell down, and although it avoided it, it was scalded by the flames attached to the pillar.

"Shhhh

"Ahh Are you in there?! Fireflies?! Tang Tang?! Ahem, ahem..."

The black smoke poured in to stop the words of the ancient saying, and he hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his cuffs to prevent him from being smoked down.

Walking a little further in, I was finally able to see a few figures.

"My aunt, when are you still eating?!"

"What's the matter, didn't the old saying say that most of the things here are illusions, and now this fire must have come out to deceive us." Liuying picked up a ham and said confidently.

Rao is ancient saying was very anxious at this time, and he couldn't help complaining, this girl's heart is really too big...

"Sister Liuying, Sister Moyun, and Brother Chen Tang, are you here? What about the others? Gu Yan stepped forward and asked.

"Huh? Xiao Yan'er, are you back? We didn't know where the others were, so we were eating and eating well, and suddenly there was a fire. Liuying tore off a piece of meat and said with a grin.

Mo Yun looked around worriedly: "This fire is very strange, we can feel the hot temperature, but it stands to reason that there is no fire that can burn the entire attic in an instant, so we suspect that it is an illusion." โ€

"It's an illusion, indeed." Gu Yan nodded. "But this illusion is very powerful, and according to what Senior Brother Mingyue said, it may also be really burning in it."

"They're crazy?! Such a beautiful pavilion is said to be burned?! Liuyi jumped to her feet and said loudly.

"Alas, who called the academy rich and rich. Little brother, what should we do next? Chen Cheng sighed and asked Gu Yan.

"Go and find them first, and then we will consult."

"Good!"

Three figures crossed and slowly fell on the calm lake, Mingyue Wangshu looked back at the island shrouded in firelight and said worriedly: "They won't have an accident, right?" โ€

Mu Han laughed and said: "What are you afraid of, those guys are quite capable, besides, Huangshi and they are still taking care of it inside." โ€

"Also, it's me who is too worried..."Mingyue looked at Yan Qing on the side and asked, "What about Old Zhou?" โ€

"I guess I left beforehand, we... Hey? Isn't that Mo alone? Yan Qing vaguely saw a figure lying on an open reef not far away.

"I'll see, I'll see." Mu Han put his palm on his forehead, squinted his eyes, and looked in the direction Yan Qing said.

"Damn, it seems to be really a person, how could someone fall into this lake? How stupid this man is..."

After Mingyue Wangshu was sure that it was indeed a human, she tiptoed a little on the surface of the lake and quickly ran towards the open reef.

"Don't be verbose, it's important to save people!"

ยท

"I am an outcast of the academy."

Feng Xue's pupils shrank suddenly, and then slowly relaxed: "The city lord said that he laughed..."

"That's why I hate you self-righteous guys the most..."Guo Dao showed a helpless look, and then smiled:

"Your teacher, it's the old fellow of Aconite, right?"

"That's right." Feng Xue replied, but his left hand looked at it and stuffed a bag into the hand of the night beside him.

Guo Wei noticed Feng Xue's small movements, but he didn't stop it, but chuckled disdainfully: "Then do you remember a disciple that the old guy of Aconite abolished a hundred years ago..."

"Night, let's go!"

"Poof... Ahem, ahem..."

Seeing that the woman in front of him finally spit out the lake water that she had choked in and came to her senses, Mingyue Wangshu and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he asked softly with a warm and kind smile:

"Girl, are you better? How did you end up in this lake? โ€

In a daze, he suddenly heard someone's voice, and hurriedly pulled out a dagger and looked at Mingyue Shuzha fiercely.

"Ding!"

Yan Qing, who had been watching from the sidelines, quickly took out a copper coin at this time, and popped it out, knocking out the dagger in Su Ye's hand.

"We were kind enough to save you, but you will take revenge?" Yan Qing's eyes were slightly cold.

"Iโ€”" Suye was a little embarrassed, but immediately vigilant, "Who are you?" โ€

"I also want to ask you, how did you get into the academy?" Mu Han hugged his arms and said angrily.

"Academy?" Su Ye was stunned and said, "Have I finally arrived at the academy..."

"You... Wait, how do I see you look familiar? Yan Qing frowned and thought hard.

"You're the little girl next to Senior Fengxue?!"

"Do you recognize Childe?" Sleepy and confused.

Mingyue Wangshu picked up the fallen dagger and handed it back to her, and said with a gentle smile: "We are the twelve directors of the Student Union Academy, why are you here?" What about the wind and snow seniors? โ€

Su Ye's hands suddenly grabbed Mingyue Wangshu's shoulders tightly.

"Take me to the deans! Something big is wrong..."

"Squeak... Boom! โ€

With the piercing sound of the door closing, Gu Yan and the others silently looked at the miserable white face that appeared in front of them...

"Hey, I'm not scared, it's really boring, Tang Tang, you puppet can't do it." Cicada Yi walked out from behind the puppet, stuck out her tongue, and said to Tang Tang in the distance.

"It's not meant to be scary..."The corners of Tang Tang's eyes twitched.

Strangely, after they entered this room, they were cut off from the sea of fire outside.

Gu Yan looked around, a small room, except for the door when they entered, there was only a dark corridor facing it, there were no windows or lamps in the small room, only a few luminescent stones embedded in the wall emitted a faint green light.

There are only three people in the small room: Cicada Yi, Shui Zhu, and Tang Tang, and Hook Kiss and Guan Yin are nowhere to be seen.

Seeing the idea of the ancient saying, Tang Tang said: "Guan Mutou and Sister Hook Kiss and a few people walked along this passage, the master of the cicada clothes is afraid of the dark, so we are waiting for you here." โ€

Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, Ah Kiss is fine...

Immediately, he looked at Shui Zhu squatting under a big fluorescent stone and felt a slight headache, he never thought that the other party would be afraid of the dark, and now he can't leave her here.

Gu Yan thought about walking up to Cicada Yi and whispered, "Your master is like this... Can you still walk with us? โ€

Hearing this, Cicada Yi glanced sideways at Shui Zhu and said, "No problem, you guys go first, we'll follow soon." โ€

Gu Yan nodded and greeted the Liuying Tang Tang and the others, took off a few fluorescent stones on the wall and walked towards the dark passage.

Cicada Yi walked up to Shui Zhu, squatted down, and was just about to speak.

"I'm not going! If my brother wants to leave, I won't want you! Shuizhu puffed out his cheeks and said angrily.

Cicada Yi's original smile slowly distorted...

"Ahh You put me down, let me go! I don't want you anymore, you villain! โ€

Gu Yan and a few people turned around, and they saw Cicada Yi following with an expressionless face holding Shuizhu.

"What do you see? Don't go yet! โ€

"Brush, brush, brush."

Everyone immediately turned around and continued to walk along the corridor "obediently".

The faint glow of the luminescent stone can be seen vaguely, and the corridors are flanked by flat stone walls painted with white mortar, and some paintings and calligraphy will be hung on the stone walls at intervals.

"Something is wrong." Mo Yun, who was walking at the end of the line, suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Sister Yun?" Hotaru looked back and asked curiously.

Mo Yun took the luminous stone from Tang Tang's puppet and shone it at an ink painting beside him, in which only a fat-headed doll was squatting on the ground as if crying.

"I've just seen this painting, we're going around in circles."

Gu Yan quickly asked, "Are you sure?" โ€

"I'm not sure, it was so dark that I just glanced at it casually because the painting was so unique that I wrote it down." Mo Yun frowned and replied.

Gu Yan touched his chin and thought about it, and after a while, he said: "Then let's continue to move forward and see if we will encounter this situation again, Sister Tang Tang and Brother Chen Tang, you should also pay more attention to the murals around you." โ€

"No problem."

As Mo Yun said, after everyone walked forward for about a quarter of an hour, they returned to the painting of the fat-headed doll.

Shui Zhu, who was already afraid, turned red in her eyes, and she threw herself into the arms of the cicada and cried: "I said not to come in, now I have a ghost, woo woo..."

Cicada Yi squatted down and hugged Shui Zhu and comforted softly: "It's okay Master, with me with you, it's a big deal that we will die together." โ€

"Woo woo, I don't want to die, and I don't want my brother to die..."

Tang Tang's fingertips trembled slightly, and the puppet behind her immediately entered a state of alert, she stepped forward and asked Gu Yan, who was frowning, "What now?" โ€

"As things stand, there are only three possibilities." The old saying replied.

"Which three?"

"One, we are still in the process of illusion, and now these are extremely strong illusion spells in the academy."

"Two, we're actually moving forward, but there are a lot of the same paintings."

"One or two can basically be ruled out, even the most top-level illusion can't affect people for so long, and the same painting... I was making a mark on the wall with a knife, and I saw it just now... Let's go straight to the last one. Chen Tang said.

"Finally, this corridor is not straight..."

"Not straight? What do you mean? The cicada clothes that were holding the water bamboo looked up at Gu Yan and asked.

"Let's put it this way, this corridor is actually a 'back' shape, but the designer mistakenly thinks that this is a straight corridor through the placement of some objects and the use of light and texture, but in fact, we have been going around in circles."

"How is this possible?!"

"It's not impossible, in fact, there are many examples of optical illusions in our lives, such as if you inject two wooden buckets, one large and one small, into the same water level, it will produce the illusion that the brightness of the two buckets of water is the same."

"That can't either..."

Mo Yun stopped and asked if he wanted to be more serious, "Then even if you guess like this, if we have been going around in circles in this corridor, where is the real exit?" We don't even have a way back to that room now. โ€

"The room... Yes, it's the room! Gu Yan suddenly called.

"If the section of the road that comes in from the room is a straight road, then there must be a section of the road that has been cut off, and the place where the partition is, it should be..."

Gu Yan has always been the fat-headed doll painting next to Mo Yun: "This is it!" โ€

"I've observed, along the way in this corridor, most of them are excellent calligraphy and famous paintings, only this one, it seems to be just made by children, there is no artistic conception, and there are no inscriptions and seals around, so..."

"Wow..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a baby's cry, and the fat-headed doll painting slowly "lived"...
