Chapter 235: Sinking into the Illusion? 【2nd Update】
Thanks to the super unfolding plot that he knew from Bai Suzhen, Lin Mo hardly explored the illusion in the following time.
This is not only because he knows that this illusion is constructed by his subconscious, even if he walks all over Suzhou City or even runs to Suzhou, except for seeing a familiar scene, he has nothing to gain, but more importantly, he is afraid that he will suddenly meet a certain NPC and hug him very happily, and tell him some super development plot that is completely different from the real situation - God knows, a relationship with Xiaoqing once made him uncomfortable, and then something else came up, would he not wait for the onset of that lust, It was so frightened that my heart was scattered!
So in the next few days, Lin Mo completely coincided with the single-minded setting in the backstory, and spent almost every moment in his room doing penance. Hmm, let's not talk about whether the penance in this environment is really effective, at least it avoids Xiaoqing, doesn't it?
"Very good, as long as you persist like this, when the plot develops to the point where Xiaoqing marries Zhang Yutang, this illusion will most likely break through!"
Lin Mo thought about it in his heart, and at the same time reaffirmed his decision: "That's it, if you want to make this lust not work at all!" ”
That's right, this is what Lin Mo thought, the way to break through the illusion in front of him: strangle the love directly from the source!
He felt that no matter how the illusion realm developed, as long as he wanted to cause harm to the Dao Heart, there would be a specific plot change after all, and only in this way could he cause his own emotions to fluctuate, and then the Dao Heart would become unstable, and even collapse in a loose manner—let the cultivator's Dao Heart collapse directly without doing anything? None of the Heavenly Court gods have this ability!
So Lin Mo based on this. Except for a very magical way of coping: he is ready to let the illusion quickly develop on its own, directly to the end of the road! At that time, the illusion that had no impact on Lin Mo could still do any substantial harm?
"Judging from the current situation, Xiaoqing's relationship with Zhang Yutang is the most fundamental link. As long as this is done, then there is no problem with a qiē! ”
This is actually a tricky method, the kind of Laipi method that kills everything, and it is not very easy to see people when you say it. But in Lin Mo's mind, at this time, breaking through the illusion as soon as possible is the most fundamental thing, what is shameless. Let's get aside!
"That's right. I did the right thing. I did this all so that I could break through the illusion realm and complete the Dao Heart Refining as soon as possible! ”
Sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed, Lin Mo, who was meditating, closed his eyes. muttered in a low voice: "As for the others." It's all about going out later. I'll talk about it when I get out......"
……
The days passed like this day by day, and soon, the day when Xiaoqing and Zhang Yutang got married arrived.
It seems to be the case in the illusion. This day is also a good day and an auspicious day, at least just looking at the festive faces of the neighbors who flocked to sincerely congratulate all around, at least it should not be a bad day.
"Dao Chief, are you ready?"
Xu Xian, who was standing outside Lin Mo's door, shouted loudly: "We're about to set off!" ”
There is no doubt that this family affair is an ancient Chinese custom. Xiaoqing is a daughter and a married daughter, Zhang Yutang is the man, and family affairs are naturally carried out in the south. Right now, the sedan chair on Zhang Yutang's side is here, and I want to invite Xu Xian Bai Suzhen, who is the elder of Xiaoqing, and Lin Mo, who is the main marriage, to come over.
In fact, it stands to reason that the position of the officiant should be the man's talent, or at least it should be found by both men and women. It's just that at the moment, this is not the real world, but an illusion, and Lin Mo is the center of the illusion, so naturally don't think about escaping things.
"Alright, let's go!"
Lin Mo, who was waiting for this day to come, took a deep breath, pushed the door out, and walked out of the Xu Mansion with Xu Xian Bai Suzhen. Outside the gate, the first thing you see is a long queue to welcome relatives, among which Zhang Yutang is wearing a big red robe and riding on a high-headed horse, heroic, and the people of Zhang's house are following closely behind, blowing gongs and drums, so lively.
"Hehe, I didn't expect my subconscious to be able to simulate the joy of getting married!"
Talking to himself in his heart, Lin Mo turned his gaze to Zhang Yutang's sedan chair behind the tall horse.
Unlike other sedan chairs, this sedan chair is not only made entirely of red, but also has a golden phoenix pattern on its big red curtain, which is very beautiful. Except for the occasional glance at Zhang Yutang, who looked like Pan An, the neighbors who were watching from the sidelines all focused their attention on the sedan chair.
"This is the bride's sedan chair, Xiaoqing is sitting in it in a wedding robe at this time!"
As soon as Lin Mo thought of this, his heart jumped, his eyes sank, and he even paused slightly.
"Dao Chief?" Xu Xian, who was beside him, immediately said, "Why did you stop?" But what's the matter? ”
Lin Mo immediately reacted with a stirring spirit: "No, it's okay." Let's get on the sedan chair, don't delay the hour. ”
Xu Xian immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, yes!" Don't delay the hour! ”
So the group went to the back of the greeting procession under the guidance of the subordinates and entered the sedan chair specially prepared for them. When a few people made a decision, they heard a shout, and the entire welcoming team made great vocal music, and officially began to return to Zhang Yutang's mansion.
Compared to the speed of a cultivator, a mortal carrying a sedan chair is like a snail. However, Lin Mo didn't care about this speed at this time, he just took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and muttered to himself: "It's over this, it's good after this period......"
In his muttering, the greeting procession moved forward unhurriedly. After an hour, I finally came to Zhang Yutang's mansion. Immediately after, Lin Mo was invited out of the sedan chair by his subordinates.
Lin Mo thought that there were already too many people at the gate of the Xu Mansion, but he didn't want to come here, and it was even more crowded. I saw that the long street at the entrance of Zhang's Mansion was already full of tables and chairs, which were full of guests, and it seemed that it was about to be carried out in the posture of flowing water seats!
"Damn, I've never seen this kind of posture in Suzhou City, this illusion is to move the situation of the flower demon marriage I saw in the Liaozhai world!"
Lin Mo rolled his eyes in his heart as he walked through the crowd with his subordinates. Enter Zhang's Mansion.
At this time, the Zhang Mansion was not quiet, but seeing that the spacious courtyard was also full of tables and chairs at this time, and it was also full of guests and friends, Lin Mo couldn't doubt that the entire Suzhou City in this fantasy world had come here!
But these are all trivialities, nothing, when he and Xu Xian Bai Suzhen were arranged to sit on the main seat of the hall, the marriage ceremony really came to a climax: Zhang Yutang and Xiaoqing finally came in.
This time, Lin Mo didn't think about any mess in his heart. There is nothing to think about. His heart was full of thoughts. They were all shocked the moment they looked up and saw Xiaoqing.
What a beautiful woman she was. But under the phoenix crown, that charming face is incomparable, as if a fairy is in the world, which is intoxicating. Those eyebrows and eyes were sparkling and soft. Let people get drunk at the sight of it. The graceful figure walked in style, slowly coming in the most beautiful posture, and people couldn't bear to divert the slightest gaze!
Such a little green. It is simply the most intuitive embodiment of beauty! Even Bai Suzhen, who was more comfortable with her gentle bearing in the past, is still under Xiaoqing's brilliance at this time, and there is no light!
Lin Mo had never seen such a Xiaoqing! is so beautiful and extraordinary to the extreme, and the light of one person fills the Xiaoqing in the world in front of him!
He was stunned for a long time, and finally he was awakened by a loud shout.
"What a beautiful bride!"
"That's it, Brother Zhang earned it!"
"What's more! Brother Zhang, this is a blessing that has only been cultivated in eight lifetimes! ”
There is no doubt that this is Zhang Yutang's friends cheering. When he was in the world of Liaozhai, when he participated in the marriage of the flower demon, Lin Mo also saw it on the spot. At that time, he thought it was quite interesting, and it could be described as a manifestation of joy. But at this time, for some reason, when I heard this, I only had irritability in my heart.
Fortunately, someone immediately stood up, stopped the shouts of the crowd, and began to continue the marriage.
"Dao Chief, it's your turn." Next to him, Xu Xian, who was sitting on the woman's main seat, stretched out his head slightly and said softly.
Lin Mo took a deep breath, his eyes widened, then opened them again, nodded and got up: "Yes, it's my turn." ”
In fact, according to the procedure, the matter of the officiant is not simple, but for Lin Mo at the moment, things are not so complicated, all he has to do is to lead Xiaoqing and Zhang Yutang to worship heaven and earth and worship the high hall in the most just capacity, and then the husband and wife worship each other. At this point, even if the family business is completed, the rest of the matter has nothing to do with him - in fact, there is nothing else. In his estimation, at this point, he would be able to break through the illusion and complete the Dao Heart Refining by always maintaining absolute sanity. And at that time, this illusion should also be scattered and disintegrated.
"So soon, soon it's going to be over......"
Lin Mo thought silently in his heart and walked slowly to the center of the lobby.
At this time, the whole hall was also quiet, and everyone looked at him, looking at him, the officiant. Including the two parties who got married: Zhang Yutang and Xiaoqing.
Zhang Yutang's face was full of joy, the joy that the major events of his life were about to be completed and his beloved marriage was about to be consummated, unreservedly revealed from the corners of his mouth that he couldn't suppress and his eyes full of light, which made Lin Mo a little dazzling, and almost had the urge to look away.
But Lin Mo didn't look away in the end: because he didn't dare to look at Xiaoqing on the other side. No matter how happy it was, or what kind of amazement, or what complicated expression it was difficult to discern, he didn't dare to look at it.
He began to speak dryly.
"Two newcomers, kneel on the ground, kowtow, and worship heaven and earth!"
Zhang Yutang seemed to be waiting for this sentence, Lin Mo had just spoken, and before the words fell, he directly knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed to the ground fiercely.
Lin Mo saw it, and his eyes drifted uncontrollably to the side after all: but seeing that the graceful figure opposite Zhang Yutang stopped slightly, he also slowly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Lin Mo's heart trembled, and his whole body stiffened. He vaguely felt that something was wrong with his actions.
'No, no! It's just my delusion, I'm being deluded by a vision! Don't waver, don't waver! As long as I continue and finish this marriage errand as soon as possible, this illusion will end immediately, and I will be able to break through! ’
Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to close his eyes and said the second sentence dryly.
"Second worship high hall!"
There is no doubt that Zhang Yutang is still the first person to implement this sentence. That thud really came into Lin Mo's ears.
But in comparison, this dull sound was not as powerful as the softer voice next to it: in Lin Mo's ears, Xiaoqing's gentle kowtow not only entered his ears, but also hit his soul directly along his ears, making his Dao heart tremble!
'Not true! That's not right! Something must be wrong! If it continues, the worst will happen! My Dao heart will suffer an irreversible blow! ’
Lin Mo's strange thoughts, which had appeared for some reason, erupted again at this moment, like the sound of fire in the earth world, resounding wildly in the depths of his soul! It seems that as long as you continue to do so, even one step, some things will be irreparable!
'Oh, no, that's wrong! What I'm doing right now is the right thing to do! Only by sticking to the present is the most correct thing! Those are just illusions born of being bewitched by illusions! It is precisely because of this that many cultivators are unable to adhere to the correct path, and they sink into the illusion realm without liberation! I can't afford to repeat the mistakes of the past! ’
The two different thoughts clashed wildly in his heart, causing Lin Mo to stand on the spot, and the expression on his face kept changing.
"Dao Chief? Dao Chief? Xu Xian's eager voice came from behind: "What are you doing!" Hurry up and get married! ”
Bai Suzhen's voice was also full of questions: "Dao Chief, do you remember what you promised me?" ”
Even the guests in the room glared at them with strong condemnation: "What are you doing?" Stop and do what? Go on! ”
These voices and eyes converged, combined with the original thought in his heart, and finally made Lin Mo's stiff body move mechanically: he spoke again.
"Two newcomers, three bows - snap!"
The last sentence was not finished. Because at the last moment, Lin Mo suddenly raised his palm and gave himself a slap.
This slap was not only successful and stunned everyone present, but even the illusion itself: this was not a metaphor, because in front of Lin Mo's eyes, this illusion stopped.
"Looks like I'm not too late to wake up." Lin Mo, who was bleeding from the corners of his mouth, smiled bitterly and lowered his head, looked at the graceful figure who was kneeling and was about to kowtow for the last time, and moaned out with satisfaction: "I finally kept you......" (to be continued......)
