Chapter 227: The Illusory City
Mo Han did not follow the established route and went straight to Heavenly Dragon City, but went east to the Illusory City to find the Heavenly Demon Emperor.
Without Sha Qi to speak, Mo Han and Phantom Feather barely communicated.
Mo Han's heart was very empty, and he didn't know what to say or didn't want to say. Just holding Sha Qi and sitting on the back of the saber-toothed beast like a lost soul, looking ahead. From time to time, he lowered his head to brush Sha Qi's hair and pull his clothes, and the action has been repeated many times.
Sha Qi's aura didn't even have a hint of it, and Mo Han just relied on the wooden rune aura to keep her faint vitality. Her life is like a swaying droplet of water under the eaves, maybe a hint of wind blows and caresses the droplet of water, and the moment it falls, the fragrance disappears.
Mo Han believed that Sha Qi would open her eyes and smile at her, but now she is just asleep, and she will always wake up when she falls asleep. He believes, there is no reason to believe.
Phantom Feather sat on the saber-toothed beast's left shoulder, still sitting in a bodhisattva position with his right leg slightly bent and his arm resting on his left knee.
She changed into a crimson robe, and didn't use the barrier to block the wind. A golden headband with mysterious words tied from the forehead to the back of the head wafts in the wind, and the wide sleeves of the placket whirring with the sound.
Mo Han held Sha Qi's white hand and rubbed the smooth and delicate back of his hand with his thumb, as if he was caressing a piece of jade.
The Demon Emperor, the Demon Emperor, the Demon Emperor.
Mo Han is still in awe of the earth-level emperor, hoping that this emperor will have the art of resurrecting the dead. It seems that his temperament is not very good, so he should be more humble. No matter how perverse his heart is, it's better than the Demon Saint, the Demon Saint is still affectionate, he won't die without help.
An illusory city?
Mo Han asked Phantom Feather why it was called the Illusory City, and she simply replied that the city was real and fake, and the people in the city were real and fake. I won't know until I see it.
Mo Han kissed the back of Sha Qi's hand, what Phantom Yu said was always like this, what she said was the truth, but she didn't understand.
The saber-toothed beast roared, and Mo Han looked down.
In the mountains and plains, there is a grid of farmland, and the houses are scattered everywhere, and there is an area with dense houses, which should be a small town.
"Shall we go down and buy some clothes for Xiaoqi?" Mo Han asked what Phantom Feather meant.
"This is just the edge of the Illusory City, let's go ahead. ”
Phantom Feather didn't explain why, and Mo Han didn't ask.
Soon it flew over hundreds of miles, and the mountains here were not high, but they were all dirt hills with very gentle slopes, and some of the slopes were planted with fruit trees.
The houses in front of me gradually became denser, and I could vaguely see the flow of people. I didn't expect that there were still so many people living in the hinterland of the Tianlong Clan, and judging from the vague city in front of it, it could be regarded as a big city with 100,000 people.
The saber-toothed beast slowly fell from the sky, and the phantom feather made the saber-toothed beast land at the north gate.
Mo Han was puzzled by why he didn't fall from the east city gate nearby, and let the saber-toothed beast go around and land in front of the north city gate. Phantom Yu saw Mo Han's doubts, she didn't explain, and Mo Han didn't ask.
Holding Sha Qi and gently flying to the ground, Mo Han crossed his arms and hugged Sha Qi horizontally to his chest. Sha Qi's head was tilted inward, as if she was asleep, and her hair fell and swayed gently as Mo Han walked.
Mo Han looked at her side face and said, "Xiaoqi, let's go into the city, there are a lot of things to eat and a lot of things to buy." ”
Sha Qi didn't respond, Mo Han just thought she was sleeping, smiled and shook her head with a concerned and helpless expression, just like she was a lazy kitten.
The city gate is very large, and there is a row of halberd guards standing on the city tower, with heavy armor and red tasseled helmets, and the halberds and guards are still and majestic, and they are well-trained troops at a glance.
In front of the city gate stood two rows of halberd guards, with the same equipment as on the city tower. Their expressions were serious, checking the suspicious people entering and leaving the city gate, and the two halberd guards crossed over to stop a man with a knife, and the knife man seemed to be intimidated, and raised his right hand with his left hand and gently lowered the knife to the ground, he moved very cautiously, for fear that the guards would think that he was going to attack and stab out the halberd.
Then two guards stepped forward and searched their bodies with great training, as if they had found nothing. confiscated the knife with the knife and explained a few words, and the knife man nodded again and again and hurried into the city.
Mo Han looked up and saw the three big characters carved out of the city wall of 'Junfeng City', shouldn't it be an illusory city?
"What do the guards say when they interrogate us?" Mo Han asked Phantom Feather.
Mo Han knew in his heart that at first glance, he and Phantom Yu were very different from ordinary people, if they were interrogated or forcibly detained by the guards, they couldn't kill anyone, right?
He didn't expect Phantom Feather to simply respond, "No." ”
So sure?
Walking under the city gate, the guards standing in the front crossed their halberds, and there was a choking sound of steel crashing.
"Stop!" said both guards at the same time.
Mo Han stood still and looked at the two guards suspiciously, they did not look at Mo Han, but stared at a strong man in coarse cloth clothes in front of Mo Han.
The strong man carried a steel fork, and on the steel fork hung a deer tied with a rope, and there was a deep groove on the neck of the deer, I don't know how the strong man used the rope to catch it.
"Where do you live?"
"Back to the military master, south of the city. The strong man replied tremblingly, as if he were afraid that the guards would rob him of his deer.
Mo Han listened to the guard's tone of unkindness, he should have confiscated his steel fork, and did not mean to snatch the strong man deer.
"Let's go. ”
turned around and shouted to Mo Han who was stunned, and then walked straight to a row of guards.
Mo Han's eyes widened, she actually passed through the body of the guards, and those guards didn't notice it, their eyes were still staring at the strong man and ignoring the phantom feather.
How could the phantom feather pass through their bodies? They were ghosts? The bodies were solid, they were obviously human, and how could there be ghosts in the daylight when the sun was high, weren't ghosts afraid of the sun?
Mo Han stretched out his index finger, tilted his head to the side of the steel fork in front of him, stretched out his index finger and gently poked at the deer that was carried behind by the strong man.
The fingers penetrated the deer's body without any hindrance, and there was no blood when gently pulled out.
Mo Han looked at Phantom Feather in shock, Phantom Feather turned sideways and looked back at him waiting for him, she nodded her head and said again, this is the answer.
"The city is real and fake. People are real and fake. ”
Mo Han remembered the words before Phantom Yu, people are indeed real, they are alive and breathing, they can speak and move, but they are indeed false.
Mo Han stepped forward, passing through the strong man in front of him, and when his forehead passed through the steel fork, Mo Han could feel the edge and couldn't help frowning, but there was no pain.
The strong man and the guard also came to discuss whether they could leave the steel fork for him, and the guard said that the city was confiscating sharp weapons and must be handed in.
People are real and false, and are cities real?
Mo Han walked to the wall under the city gate and tapped the wall with his foot. the wall, he looked at Phantom Feather suspiciously.
"It's true and it's false. Phantom Feather said.
Is the city wall true or false? What is true and what is false?
Mo Han was a little messy, this was beyond his cognition, like being in the ghost realm of the world.
"The Heavenly Demon Emperor is in the city?" Mo Han asked.
Phantom Feather finally nodded in the affirmative, instead of saying something that was hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Mo Han was relieved, "Let's go." ”
At first, the saber-toothed beast also cautiously picked up the gap for fear of stepping on someone, but when it saw Mo Han and Phantom Feather passing through the flow of people at will, it also became bold, and at this moment it realized that these people were illusory.
The prosperity of the city is comparable to that of Zhengyang City, with restaurants, inns, and shops, and the sound of selling along the street comes and goes.
"Can you buy anything here?"
Mo Han didn't know if the things here had an owner, and he didn't know if the things here were real. Everything is very real, and I don't know how much of it is true when I reach out and touch it.
"Now it seems that the objects in the north of the city should be almost all real, except for the people. Other places are not clear. Phantom Feather replied.
"How can you tell?" Mo Han asked in surprise.
Phantom Feather flipped his right palm, shaking his white fingertips, and a faint green mist floated out. Mo Han was stunned for a moment, this kind of aura was very strange, it was not aura, nor demonic qi, nor was it the qi in Phantom Feather's body, and he couldn't detect any breath.
"What?" Mohan asked.
"The Heavenly Demon Emperor's anger, so I can see everything he conjures up. ”
"The Demon Emperor has lived for so long, so he is still the emperor?" If a person who can live for hundreds of years says that there is a means to bring the dead back to life, Mo Han really believes it, and his heart suddenly settles down.
"He'll probably be the king forever. ”
"What do you mean?"
"You'll know when you see it. ”
Mo Han also knew that even if Phantom Yu explained, he wouldn't be able to understand it, so let's talk about it after seeing the Demon Emperor.
"Tailor's shop, go in and buy some clothes for Xiaoqi. ”
Mo Han didn't wait for Phantom Yu to reply, turned left and walked towards the tailor's shop.
As soon as I stepped on the threshold, I heard an enthusiastic voice: "Does the guest officer need to buy clothes or make clothes?"
"Buy..."
Mo Han swallowed back before he could say the word, because he saw a person in front of him on the left looking up at the various clothes hanging on the wall, and the boss in the counter should not have seen it hurriedly walking out before.
The clothes in this tailor shop are quite high-grade, with various colors of clothing neatly stacked underneath, and clothes made of corresponding fabrics hung on the top.
"Xiaoqi, buy clothes, see which one you like?" Mo Han shook his arm slightly, trying to wake up the sleeping Sha Qi.
Sha Qi's side face shook slightly, as if she hadn't woken up, her eyes were still closed, and her mouth was slightly pursed.
Phantom Yu lowered his eyebrows and returned to his original state, walked to Mo Han's side, raised his head and swept the clothes hanging on the wall, and said, "What clothes she likes to wear, I'll help you get it." ”
Mo Han saw a snow-white long dress, his eyes moved to the right, and he saw a moon-white long skirt between the green and light red clothes, and said to Phantom Yu: "Just those two white ones, forget it, take them off." ”
He thought about taking them all off and putting them in the storage ring for later use, and when Sha Qi woke up, she let her choose for herself.
Phantom Feather took off all the women's clothes and stacked them neatly one by one, and Mo Han selected some belt ornaments and put them in the storage ring.
"How do you give money?" Mo Han asked.
Phantom Yu shook her head, not knowing if she didn't dare or didn't want to look at Mo Han's eyes, turned her gaze to the side, and said, "No." ”
Mo Han looked at the shopkeeper who was introducing clothes to customers and asked, "Then this boss is not in a hurry when he finds that the clothes are missing?"
Phantom Yu nodded, as if shaking his head, and said, "The Demon Emperor will add it, you don't have to worry." ”
