Chapter 144: Phantom Array (text)

Meng Changqing didn't let us go with us for safety reasons, but we insisted on going, and he couldn't refuse, so he agreed to let us go.

As for the Taoist priests of Maoshan and Yuzhen, Meng Changqing rejected their kindness, in his words, this time he didn't go to crusade against the human sect, but to retrieve things, and there was no need to make such a big move.

In fact, I am very reluctant to go to the human religion at this stage, that day I saw the strength of the human teaching, it is difficult to tell whether he is very Meng Changqing who is strong or weak, we don't know anything about the human religion, we don't know what kind of existence that person is in the human religion, is there still the same kind of person in the human religion? There's no way to know that.

Meng Changqing didn't leave immediately after teaching the people we were going to teach, and arranged some things in Maoshan that night, and I waited until the early hours of the morning, and only after Meng Changqing came back did I go to his room and sit face to face with him at the table.

When Meng Changqing saw me enter his house so late, he asked me what I was doing.

I stared at him for a long time before I said, "Master, have you made up your mind to be taught?" ”

"Or else? Are you, Master, and I like people who talk and play? Meng Changqing said indifferently.

I nodded slowly, then said, "Isn't it too hasty?" ”

Meng Changqing glanced at me, put down the cup in his hand and said, "What do you want to say?" You wouldn't have beaten around the bush before. ”

"You tell me honestly, what is the real purpose of your visit?" Meng Changqing knew that I had something to say, so I stopped beating around the bush and directly asked the question I wanted to ask.

In the past, Meng Changqing, no matter what happened, stood from an extremely rational point of view. This time to go to the Human Sect to retrieve the bodies of Meng Weiye and Yang Ying is definitely a pretense, because just because of them, Meng Changqing will not take risks to break into the Human Sect.

After I asked, Meng Changqing was silent for a long time, I waited for his answer, and after about a minute, he said to me: "Sometimes, the truth is extremely cruel. You and Xiaoxiao have grown up now, and it's not that I won't let you go with you because I'm afraid of putting you in danger, it's just that at this stage, you can't bear some truths. I am your master, and there are some things that I can help you bear. ”

"What do you know? Xiaoxiao and I are adults and can bear it ourselves! I said.

Meng Changqing shook his head: "I'm not sure yet, I want to go to Renjiao to confirm." ”

Meng Changqing was only willing to talk about this, and refused to go deeper, but he also told me that the real purpose of his teaching was to seek a truth, and in his eyes we couldn't afford the truth.

Meng Changqing said yes, I didn't ask any more, sat in his room for a while, and was about to get up to leave, Xiaoxiao knocked on the door and entered Meng Changqing's room.

Meng Changqing saw Xiaoxiao coming in, shook his head and smiled: "You two have really grown up, and you can no longer treat you as children." Girl, I have already told Ye Hai the questions you want to ask, you go and ask him. ”

Before Xiaoxiao could speak, she was stopped by Meng Changqing, looked at me and then at Meng Changqing.

Meng Changqing has been very tired from dealing with Maoshan in the past few days, and we can't disturb him to rest, so we can only retreat first.

didn't go back to the room immediately, but walked around with Xiaoxiao in this Taoist temple and told her the questions Xiaoxiao wanted to ask.

The night view of Maoshan is also quite beautiful, it has been to Maoshan for so long, it is the first time to go out at night, but in the dead of night, Xiaoxiao and I seem to have come out on a date.

He Xiaoxiao had been wandering outside until more than three o'clock in the morning before returning to the house, and he forcibly woke up early the next morning and began to pack his things, preparing to leave Maoshan and go to Renjiao.

We didn't know where the specific location of the Renjiao was, but Meng Changqing seemed to know, and as soon as he came out, he firmly led us in one direction.

The trip lasted all day, and in the evening I found an inn in a small town to rest.

The hotel was not big, there were only eight rooms in total, and we occupied four of them, and slept separately.

Although I didn't sleep well the day before, I didn't feel sleepy at this time, so I went out and knocked on Xiaoxiao's door and went in to chat with her.

When chatting, Xiaoxiao said, "Do you think Master is weird today?" ”

I nodded, we could have taken a car at such a distance, but he insisted on walking. And I had never heard him know where the people were before, but this trip brought us here directly, and when Meng Changqing was on the road, he didn't say a word, his face was strict all day, and he was usually so strict only when he was dealing with business.

I thought it was my delusion, but after Xiaoxiao mentioned it, I reacted and said, "Go find Master!" ”

Xiaoxiao answered, got up and knocked on the door with me in front of Meng Changqing's room, and no one opened the door for a long time, and then went to Zhaowen's room to look, but still no one opened the door.

Thinking that Meng Changqing and Zhaowen had gone out, they went to the front desk of the hotel and asked, and a woman about thirty years old at the front desk was surprised and said, "Aren't you two coming?" Where else are they? The young man and the little girl are sick, and the two of them still have four rooms, are they not feeling well? ”

Xiaoxiao and I looked at each other, I didn't believe the words of the front desk, and then mobilized the surveillance of the hotel to take a look, originally we came with Meng Changqing and Zhaowen, but we were surprised to find that there were only two people in this surveillance, Xiaoxiao, and there were no Meng Changqing and Zhaowen at all.

"What's going on?" I was shocked.

Xiaoxiao shook her head and said that she didn't know, she felt that it was strange, and then said that she went out to look for it together, maybe Meng Changqing and they went out, and the surveillance didn't capture them.

For the time being, there is only this way, so I went out of this hotel, and when I got out of the hotel, I was shocked, the outside environment was completely different from when we came, when we came, it was obviously just a depressed town, but now it is a very modern city in front of us. The traffic is busy, colorful neon, and prosperous.

I was stunned for a while, and when I saw that there were still many people walking on the road at this time, I stepped forward and grabbed a few people and asked what kind of place this was.

"No Rest City!"

This is the answer we get, we have never heard of such a city before.

After looking at the city, I thought that I had encountered something like a ghost hitting the wall and hallucinating, so I looked at the people around me with yin and yang eyes, but without exception, they were all normal people.

The outside environment is different, where to find Meng Changqing? For the time being, I can only go back to this hotel.

This thing is extremely weird, along the way, Meng Changqing and the others were obviously with us, but when they arrived here, they disappeared after only one meal, and the place they went to became a completely strange place.

After returning to the room, we checked our respective baggage, and the equipment that sealed Zhao Sansan and Fei Barge were gone.

"You stay here, I'll go out and have a look!" I said to Xiaoxiao.

With such a big matter, Xiaoxiao naturally couldn't sit still and went out with me.

I went to the front desk to borrow a phone and call Grandpa Ye's house, now I can only contact them in this way, Grandpa is still at Grandpa Ye's house, he knows more than us, maybe he knows what kind of place this is.

But after calling several times, the prompt tone said that the number was empty.

The woman at the front desk then looked at our number and said, "I've never seen a number like this, are you two lost with adults?" ”

It's really hard for us to answer this, and now we don't know if Meng Changqing is lost with us or if we are lost with Meng Changqing.

The front desk looked at me and Xiaoxiao with a strange look, probably treating the two of us as neurological patients, I could only smile bitterly at her, and then asked about the specific situation when we came.

"It's really you and this girl, I didn't see anyone else with you, the room was also opened by you, and you also saw the surveillance, I can't lie to you. Is the young man sick and should he go to the hospital? ”

I hurriedly said no, went back to the house with Xiaoxiao, and opened the other two rooms we opened to take a look.

There really is no trace of anyone living in it.

"Did Master really not come with us? I'm a little scared. Xiaoxiao hugged her body tightly and asked.

I patted her on the shoulder and said, "One qiē has me!" ”

Then I sat here and thought about what had happened.

Meng Changqing took us to Renjiao, all the way to this place, and when he was about to rest, he found that they were gone, and asked the front desk, and the front desk said that there were only me and Xiaoxiao from beginning to end.

And then the strangest thing is that the dilapidated town turned into a bustling city in the middle of a meal.

Thinking about it, the weirdest thing is the place we came to!

"When it's dawn, go out and look for it, Master has great skills, and if he knows that we are gone, he will definitely come to us." I said.

Xiaoxiao hummed, and then sat and waited for the day to come, but after counting the hours and waiting for a long time, the hands were all circled around the clock, the neon outside was still the same, and the sky was still dark.

Finally, I couldn't help it, got up and went to the front desk and asked the woman, "What the hell is this place?" Why has it been twelve hours, and it's still dark outside? ”

The woman looked at me again in surprise and said with disdain, "What are you talking about?" How is it so strange! ”

Seeing this woman's expression, I didn't ask any more, this ghost place is not normal everywhere, I have to leave here first.

Go back and take the baggage with Xiaoxiao, go out of the hotel and determine a direction with copper coins, and go all the way, as long as you don't go around in circles, you will definitely be able to get out of here.

All the way eastward for more than ten hours, the sky was already dark, the people on the road still did not sleep, and the road ahead was still extremely long.

After resting for a while in a square, and just as I was about to get up and walk again, a young man about twenty-five years old patted Xiaoxiao and me on the shoulders and said, "I followed you all the way, you walked for a total of fourteen hours and thirty-five minutes, are you lost?" Where are you going? How did you walk for so long? ”

I looked at the man and said, "You followed us for fourteen hours and thirty-five minutes?" ”

He nodded and said, "This city has two names, one of them is called Sleeping City, and the other is called Endless City, according to these two names, there are only two types of people in this city. Because it's always night, people either sleep forever or work forever, and for those who sleep, it's the sleeping city. For those who work, this is the city of rest! But never sleepless, where is there so much to do, I have nothing to do, I follow you when I'm idle and bored, you have been walking for so long, you should also belong to the sleepless people, right? What are you fighting for? ”

After the young man finished speaking, I was silent for a while and said, "Phantom Array, this is a Phantom Array. ”
