Chapter 458: There is an illusion in the secret realm
After Mu Qianmei followed the Peach Blossom Fairy downstairs, she took the Tiger King and his party out of the Peach Blossom Nunnery together, and Aunt Shen also followed silently behind.
When she walked out of the Peach Blossom Nunnery, Mu Qianmei couldn't help but ask:
"Why is this pavilion named Peach Blossom Temple?"
The Peach Blossom Fairy replied slowly as she walked:
"The Peach Blossom Nunnery and this peach forest were originally one, before being sealed, there were two monks in this nunnery, one was a young lady from a rich family, because she was dissatisfied with the marriage designated by her parents, she became a nun and lived in the nunnery with a teacher, which was originally just a simple thatched house, and then the young lady's parents saw that she was determined to become a monk, so they had to build this peach blossom nunnery into what it is now."
"At that time, I lived outside, just came to see it every day, before the seal, the master and apprentice in the nunnery were arranged to another place, and we lived in, and it has always been me and Aunt Shen who lived here, and I originally wanted to change my name, but then I thought about it, it was just a name, and it didn't matter in the secret realm, so I didn't bother to change it."
tiger king interface says:
"I don't know what kind of wood this building is made of, it looks old, but it's still so beautiful."
The Peach Blossom Fairy didn't answer, she didn't like to talk to strangers, especially men, because most of the men who had approached her before had ulterior motives.
The Peach Blossom Fairy didn't speak, and Aunt Shen didn't mean to speak, but Wenlan replied:
"I guess it must be a peach tree, because there are no other trees in it!"
The Tiger King patted his head and said:
"yes, why didn't I think of that? There are peach trees everywhere, and I can't see any other trees, so naturally I use peach trees, and I'm still a little smart. ”
Prince Wenlan smiled modestly and said:
"It's not counted, it's not counted, compared to my sister, I'm too much worse."
The words are quite humble, but the tone is full of pride.
Mu Qianmei smiled and said:
"Lan'er didn't guess correctly this time, the building is not made of peach wood, you see these peach trees, they are basically curved, can they be built into a building?"
Wenlan Gongzi didn't feel embarrassed, anyway, his sister was already stronger than him, and his sister said that he was wrong, so it was not right, so he asked curiously:
"There are only peach trees in it, and they don't use peach trees to build them, what kind of wood do they use?"
Mu Qianmei smiled and said:
"This wood is much more precious than peach wood, just now you also smelled a faint fragrance in it, that fragrance is different from the fragrance of peach wood, it is the fragrance of nanmu, and it is the best nanmu, called golden silk nanmu."
"This building was built before the seal, it has been more than 3,000 years, and if it was ordinary wood, it would have been dilapidated a long time ago."
Aunt Shen then said:
"We call it purple nanmu, because it is relatively rare, and the material is very good, so it is very precious, only particularly rich people's homes, can be used to build buildings, ordinary people can afford it?"
When they said this, the Tiger King and Bai Qianqian couldn't help but look back at the Peach Blossom Nunnery behind them, and there was a little more amazement in their eyes.
After a while, they walked into the peach forest with the peach blossom fairy, and as soon as they stepped into the peach forest, it was as if they had entered a labyrinth, and everything in the outside world disappeared in an instant, and the peach blossom nunnery could not be seen.
Jade walked beside Bing Lan and said softly:
"Why did we get into here again, and what if we couldn't get out for a while?"
Bing Lan said in a cold voice:
"Just follow Miss."
Although the scenery in the peach forest was almost the same, Mu Qianmei could feel that the route they were taking now was completely different from before.
Mu Qianmei didn't speak, just followed silently, secretly remembering the surrounding environment and route while walking, trying to remember some special signs, with Mu Qianmei's rich life experience, in a strange environment, it is always not wrong to pay more attention.
Bai Qianqian saw that Mu Qianmei was secretly paying attention to the surrounding environment, and she also subconsciously took a few more looks.
The peach blossom fairy, who was walking in the front, said lightly:
"This section of the road is the first level, if I didn't take it, it would be very difficult for you to walk through this section of the road, the formation here is a hundred times more complicated than the place you were trapped in before."
Jade subconsciously said:
"Then why does it feel so much easier to walk? We used to have to go around a few times this way, a few times there, but now we're walking straight all the time. ”
The Peach Blossom Fairy said coldly:
"Huh, easy? If I don't go, you can try it yourself! ”
Jade immediately shook her head and said:
"No, no, no, you should lead the way!"
The Peach Blossom Fairy said disdainfully:
"I really don't understand, the previous formation only had twelve separate circles, you stumbled into it, maybe there is still the possibility of going out, but now where we are, there are one hundred and twenty circles staggered, as long as you take a wrong step, you will be trapped in it, maybe you don't want to go out for the rest of your life, it is impossible to get out by luck."
After going around for more than an hour, I finally came to a cave, the cave was hidden in a small hill in the peach forest, surrounded by peach trees, there were three peach trees at the entrance of the cave, and there were five, seven, nine, and twelve trees outside, standing in the distance and looking, the arrangement was relatively regular.
Further out, there were still countless peach trees, and there was no pattern to be seen, and at this time, the peach blossom fairy pointed to the cave on the hill and said:
"The whole hill is a formation, the cave is the exit, I was trapped in the cave two times, and I couldn't come out until the time was over."
Mu Qianmei asked slowly:
"What exactly is this second level to test? It is said that the first level is a test formation, and the second level should not be a formation. ”
Previously, the Peach Blossom Fairy had never talked about the specific process of breaking through, she only said that she had failed, but did not say how she failed.
The Peach Blossom Fairy pondered for a moment before replying:
"This cave is a fantasy, when you enter the cave, you will step into the illusion, my illusion is not the same as Aunt Shen's illusion, anyway, they are some things that we usually don't want to think about, or the things we want to see the most."
"My vision was that I saw my loved ones who had died in the war, and it seemed that I had seen them again the bullying they had suffered during the war. There are also those people who don't know whether it is the fairy world or the demon world, some people who were originally friends, but they turned their faces and wanted to kill themselves, and some people in the demon world said that they were people from the fairy world when they were dying. In the illusion, time and space are chaotic, and I don't know where I am, and a month in the illusion will make people feel as if they have lived for thousands of years. ”
It was clear from her tone that she was very reluctant to recall the experience in the hallucination.
Mu Qianmei also seemed to understand why she was reluctant to mention it beforehand.
The reason why people feel that time is long is because they are experiencing things that they do not want to experience.
However, if the fantasy is the life you want, that's not good, you will be addicted to it and can't extricate yourself, and you won't be able to succeed.
Mu Qianmei thought for a while and said to the others:
"I don't know how to wake up from the illusion, but I think the most important thing is to keep your heart, not be afraid of danger, withstand the temptation, and probably pass it smoothly!"
The Tiger King scratched his head and said:
"I don't really understand!"
Several other people also looked like they didn't understand, Mu Qianmei smiled and said:
"Then you don't have to think about anything, just go with the flow."
The Peach Blossom Fairy had the experience of failing to break through twice, and she didn't have any hope, but Mu Qianmei's words made her realize, and she was in a state of contemplation alone, muttering to herself:
"Keep your heart, not afraid of danger, and withstand temptation."
It was inexplicably realized, as if he had grasped something, but he couldn't say a feeling.
After a while, Mu Qianmei said:
"Let's go, let's go in together and see what kind of test is in this illusion."
After speaking, he took Wenlan Gongzi's hand and walked in the front with the Peach Blossom Fairy, followed by Bai Qianqian and the Tiger King, followed by Bing Lan and Jade, and Aunt Shen walked last.
From the moment they stepped into the hill, the surrounding environment seemed to be different, as if they had stepped into a large rotating disk, everything was still still, but everyone felt that the surrounding environment was rotating, and even felt that they were slowly rotating with the large turntable.
It's an illusion, but it's so real.
Wenlan Gongzi said puzzledly:
"Why is the earth turning?"
Mu Qianmei replied:
"The earth didn't turn, it was just an illusion that we had when we walked into the formation."
The more the eight walked inside, the stronger the feeling of turning, as if they were moving from the rotating surface of the water to the center of the whirlpool.
The cave is like the center of a whirlpool for the entire hillock, and the closer you get there, the faster you feel your surroundings turn.
Almost all of them are cultivators, but this illusion did not slow down because they had cultivation, and later on, they all felt dizzy.
As soon as they stepped into the cave, they were suddenly sucked in by a powerful suction, and then each of them had the feeling of stepping into an abyss.
It's a daunting, even terrifying feeling.
Because here, all cultivation seems to have disappeared, and they have all become ordinary people.
An ordinary person fell into a dark bottomless pit, the fear that life is not under his control, and he does not know where he will fall, makes people experience the approach of death, and everyone feels very desperate.
Except for the Peach Blossom Fairy, Aunt Shen and Mu Qianmei, who basically remained a little sober and sanity, everyone else felt that they were going to die.
Wenlan Gongzi subconsciously grabbed Mu Qianmei's hand tightly, Bai Qianqian couldn't help but grasp the arm of the tiger king beside her, Jade was almost hugging the entire arm of Ice Blue, and couldn't help but exclaim in her mouth-
"Ah——!h
