Chapter 10: Illusion
The fog in the abyss resembles the depths of a mist swamp, glowing with a faint colored light in addition to grayish white. Ye Wuhui knew very well that most of these colored mist contained highly toxic substances, and if they were accidentally inhaled into the body, the consequences would be unpredictable.
The sigh never stopped, and it seemed to be close at hand. But there was a thick fog shrouded in front of him, and although Ye Wuhui had enough eyesight, he didn't see who sent it.
A dead tree about four or five feet tall stood in front of him, and the branches were like swords, and although it was lifeless, there was still a sharp aura. Ye Wuhui stopped and said to himself: "I didn't expect there to be a sword blade tree here, but it has dried up for an unknown number of years. β
"Hey..." was another sigh, Ye Wuhui looked intently, and saw a girl in red sitting on the root of the sword blade tree exposed on the ground. The girl looked at her back about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a bright red dress, long hair scattered behind her head, and her back to herself.
Ye Wuhui felt that something was not quite right, in such a lifeless illusion, how could there be a girl living here? The big red shirt on the girl's body reminded him of the girl who was sacrificed by the old man in yellow before.
Could it be that this girl in red survived the last sacrifice? Ye Wuhui had such a thought flashing in his heart.
"Let's ask first. Ye Wuhui paid attention, took a few steps, reached two or three meters behind the girl, and asked, "May I ask why the girl is sighing?"
Ye Wuhui condensed slightly, waiting for the girl's answer. Unexpectedly, the girl did not answer, and let out another sigh after a while. Listening to this voice in Ye Wuhui's ears, it was full of sadness, helplessness and despair, as if it could pierce his heart.
Ye Wuhui used the meditation method, and when he calmed down, he slowly walked and walked around to the front of the girl. The Black Flame Sword was held in his hand, and although Ye Wuhui did not draw the sword, the long sword was unsheathed, and it could only be done in an instant. Besides, he didn't think that this girl had the strength to make him draw his sword.
The girl sat quietly, ignoring Ye Wuhui's actions, as if she had never noticed him. Finally, Ye Wuhui walked to the front of the girl, and he was still standing two meters away, staring at the girl.
At the first glance of this girl, Ye Wuhui was shocked in his heart. I saw that the girl had a delicate face, thin and curved eyebrows, and slightly powdered cheeks... Although she is not very beautiful, she is too similar to Min'er. Ye Wuhui's eyes stared at the girl, flashing an incredible look.
"You... What's your name?" Ye Wuhui asked again. Min Er was in Shuohe Ancient Town at this time, but he couldn't be here no matter what.
"Hey..."The girl let out a long sigh again, and then whispered, "Big brother, my name is Min'er." The girl's eyes were blank, she looked at the ground stupidly, and she didn't look up at Ye Wuhui.
Ye Wuhui heard the other party's answer, and was really taken aback in his heart. Before he could think about it, the girl sighed in a low voice, "Big brother, can you take me out of here?
Ye Wuhui took a deep breath, only to find that the girl had raised her head at this time and was looking at herself. Those eyes were slightly sad, and after a while, Ye Wuhui lowered his head, and his heart was full of sadness for some reason at this time.
After another half an hour, Ye Wuhui raised his head, his eyes were shining at this time, and he suddenly said, "The girl is very capable." How cautious he was, as soon as this sad and desperate thought arose, he sensed that something was wrong. Immediately, he used his mental method, and he pressed it down in an instant.
"What the big brother said, why can't Min Er understand? Hey, I'm going back. The girl's voice still carried a sense of magic, and it went straight to Ye Wuhui's heart.
"Wait. Ye Wu turned around and swept up, and was about to stop the girl from leaving, but the girl's body only flashed and disappeared from sight. Ye Wuhui was so strong that he chased after him as he found the direction he sensed. At this time, he had already decided in his heart that this girl was by no means an ordinary girl, and she must not be Min'er.
The passage of time seems to be imperceptible here, and there is always a gray mist and a dead space all around.
The gray mist suddenly changed, thicker and deeper, almost identical to the fog in the Hidden Mist Swamp. Ye Wuhui no longer flew by, he looked at the fog around him, and walked forward cautiously.
"Whoa. The sound of water sounded beneath his feet, and the ground softened as if he were stepping on a swamp. "Heh... It's up to you how good you are. Ye Wuhui kept his heart clear, he remembered that he was at the bottom of the abyss, and the hidden mist swamp was far away from here, and he didn't know how many miles away.
The dense fog was peeled away, and a flat ground appeared in front of him, and two small wooden houses appeared in front of Ye Wuhui's eyes, the wooden houses were dark in color, exactly the same as the home in the swamp in his memory. Ye Wuhui took a deep breath and walked to the front of the wooden house, everything was so familiar, he frowned slightly. Turning around the wooden house, on the small mound, the wooden monument stood there, Ye Wuhui looked at the wooden monument, his face was a little painful.
He quietly walked to the wooden monument and sat there with his eyes closed. Feeling everything familiar is like returning to a home that you haven't been back to for years.
I don't know how long it has been, Ye Wuhui has some tears on his face, but with a slight smile on his face, he said: "The girl is really good!"
After a while, a sigh of "Hey...", the surrounding scene changed abruptly, and it returned to the abyss underground. Ye Wuhui saw himself sitting next to a dead branch, and the girl in red was standing not far away looking at him.
"The girl is so capable!" Ye Wuhui praised again.
"Heyβ" The girl sighed, only to see her figure disappear again, as if it had never existed at all.
"Heh, is this trick again?" Ye Wuhui was not afraid in his heart, so he got up and chased after him again.
Half an hour later, the scene changed again.
"No return, shall we go to the street to play?" two children of four or five years old were standing in front of them.
"Okay, okay, let's go. "A few little kids were running, so happy.
"No return, I heard that there are immortals in the world, living in the heavenly fairyland, you can live forever!" Ye Qingyun said with a wistful expression, Ye Qingfeng on the side also echoed, and several children looked forward to it.
Ye Wuhui showed a knowing smile on his face, these scenes can only be seen in dreams, how much he wishes to go back to his childhood, how much he hopes that this scene can last longer.
......
There was fire again, and there was killing, and the relatives fell in a pool of blood......
"Ah!" In the abyss underground, Ye Wuhui suddenly let out a loud roar, which was full of violence and anger.
The black flame sword was unsheathed, and the pitch-black sword slashed, breaking stones and dead wood and turning into powder. "Why, why, I want you to die, all of you die!" Ye Wuhui vented the anger in his heart wildly, unwilling.
Suddenly, the Black Flame Sword erupted with a loud sword roar, and the sound echoed all around, echoing in Ye Wuhui's ears, reaching the depths of his heart.
At the critical moment, Black Flame once again burst out with power. The divine sword had a spirit and pulled Ye Wuhui back from his madness.
Ye Wuhui froze still, and he didn't know how long it had taken before he took a deep breath and opened his eyes slightly. At this time, his eyes were a little different from before.
"Thank you, girl. Ye Wuhui said with a smile on his face.
The girl in red reappeared, and this time she didn't sigh again, but said, "Big brother, it's really good! This sword is so amazing, I think it should be a divine weapon, right?"
Ye Wuhui looked at the long sword in his hand when he heard this, and said with a smile on his face: "The girl praised it falsely." β
The girl looked at the Black Flame Sword and said to Ye Wuhui: "I want to leave this place, I wonder if the eldest brother can take me away?"
The girl was still called a big brother at this time, but her voice changed, no longer so sad, and more gentle.
Ye Wuhui paused slightly, nodded and said, "Well, I can take you out, but I still have to go to the center of this abyss first." β
"Big brother really wants to go to the underground center?" The girl in red floated over, and at this time Ye Wuhui noticed that just like a ghost story she had heard since she was a child, the girl's feet were floating like this, not touching the ground.
Although Ye Wuhui had already guessed, he was also shocked at this moment, and couldn't help asking, "Can you tell me about you, why are you here?"
"Hehe, didn't the eldest brother guess it a long time ago?" the girl in red smiled slightly, although it was a smile, it also had a bitter taste.
"You're the girl who sacrificed before? don't think about it, I just want to confirm it. Ye Wuhui asked.
With Ye Wuhui's eyes, he could already see clearly that the girl had been floating in the air. Although he had reached the Holy Stage, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, is there really a ghost in the world?
"Big brother is right, I was indeed sacrificed before, and they all said that when people die, their souls will go to the underworld and be reincarnated, but why do I still stay in this abyss. There was no anger in the girl's tone, and all that was left was helplessness.
"I don't know. Ye Wuhui was a little silent and said, "I think, there must be some special reason." Have you always been here?"
"Well, I've been here, big brother, please see. After the girl in red finished speaking, her body disappeared in a flash, and a jade pendant appeared in mid-air, floating quietly like this.
"What is this?" Ye Wuhui was a little curious.
"This is a piece of jade that I found in this abyss. The voice of the girl in red came from the jade pendant, "I was dead at that time, and my soul floated out, I was very weak at that time, fluttering and floating, just waiting for black and white impermanence to take me down to the underworld." But I waited and waited and waited for a long, long time, and I didn't wait. Later, when I floated here, I saw this jade pendant. My soul can enter this jade, and there is a warm breath around it, so comfortable. The girl's voice came.
"Oh, so your ability also comes from this jade pendant? You seem to be able to see through other people's hearts. Ye Wuhui asked again.
"Big brother, I don't know why, anyway, when I see you, I can clearly sense what you are thinking. The girl in red floated out and said.
"So, are all your appearances changed according to my memories?" Ye Wuhui asked.
"Big brother is right. Big brother won't be angry if he offended you before, right?" her voice was a little squeamish, and her eyes were sly.
"I have to thank you, how can I be angry. Then what should I call you?" Ye Wuhui had a breakthrough in his state of mind because of the illusion before, so he was grateful to the girl in his heart.
"Big brother calls me Yun'er, Daddy and Mommy call me like this. Daddy and Grandma, I don't know if they are still alive in the world. Yun'er had a deep sense of longing and sadness on her face.
Ye Wuhui was silent, and he didn't want to speak for a while.
After a while, Ye Wuhui said: "Yun'er, when I go to the center, I will definitely take you out of here to see your father and grandma." My name is Ye Wuhui, you must already know. Ye Wuhui seemed to have made a decision, and his tone was very firm.
"Well, then thank you Brother Ye. Brother Ye wants to go to this underground center, Yun'er happens to be familiar with it, and I will lead the way for Brother Ye. Brother Ye, you take this fast jade pendant. After Yun'er finished speaking, her body floated towards the center. Her speed was extremely fast, at least equivalent to the speed of the peak master of the Great Grandmaster.
Ye Wuhui looked at it intently, then took the jade pendant into his arms, lifted his breath, and walked into the thick fog again.
