Chapter 400: Choice
In just the blink of an eye, everything in front of Zhang Haomin's eyes has changed.
The Lingnan Palace, which was originally brightly lit, has now become a fairyland of birds and flowers, with butterflies fluttering among the wildflowers and industrious bees being busy.
Tiptoe into the distance, and not far from the meadow is the deep woods.
There was a showy bird chirping in the tree, and a deer was standing under the tree.
After seeing this colorful world, Zhang Haomin couldn't help but be stunned, and then he remembered an important thing, he was still wearing a static stone pendant around his neck, how did he fall into confusion?
"Wow, it's so beautiful. ”
"Huh, you can see that too?"
Looking at the vast sword soul that was flying in the air excitedly, Zhang Haomin couldn't help but feel even more confused.
If this is a bewilderment technique, then the bewilderment technique should only be aimed at his own body, and the vast sword soul, which is a target other than the bewilderment technique, should not be able to see all this in front of him.
Could it be that the two of them fell into a puzzle at the same time?
Just when Zhang Haomin was puzzled by this, the vast sword soul answered for him.
"Of course I can see that this is not some kind of trickery, it's a real illusion. ”
"Illusions, you say it's all illusions?"
"Otherwise, you wouldn't think it was all true. ”
After hearing the words of the vast sword soul, Zhang Haomin couldn't help but roll his eyes silently.
He wasn't a fool, and he suddenly changed his appearance in front of him, how could he think that everything in front of him was real? It's just that he didn't know that it was all an illusion.
And he couldn't figure it out, why couldn't the Silent Stone Pendant resist illusion?
"But I have a stone pendant. ”
"The Silent Stone Pendant is only to prevent confusion, after all, the illusion is the surrounding environment, and it does not have much impact on you, which is why the Static Stone Pendant is useless. ”
Zhang Haomin nodded as if he didn't understand, and then didn't ask anything.
Because when he was talking to the vast sword soul, a figure in a pale yellow Luo skirt in the distance caught his attention.
It was as if at this moment, he had returned to the sage's abode again.
That was the first time he saw Song Ling, and she stood quietly in front of the door like a fairy who had descended to earth, and the breeze slowly blew, blending her with the apricot blossoms around her.
Now, except for the absence of white apricot blossoms, everything seems to have returned to the picture of the past.
"Who's that man?"
After seeing Zhang Haomin's sluggish appearance, the vast sword soul couldn't help but notice the people in the distance.
Rao is the vast sword soul of the sword soul, after seeing the picture in front of him, he couldn't help but be surprised for a while, all this is really too beautiful.
Zhang Haomin was disturbed by the vast sword soul like this, and instantly recovered from his sluggish appearance.
Looking at the fairy-like girl in the distance, he smiled proudly.
"Well, that's my girl. ”
"You can see it from all this distance?"
"You have to look at it. ”
Zhang Haomin immediately walked towards Song Ling's position in the distance, and the smile between his eyebrows couldn't be hidden at all.
And Song Ling, who was in the distance, waved his hand happily at him for a while after seeing Zhang Haomin, and then ran in the direction of Zhang Haomin impatiently, he was very happy.
"Ling'er. ”
Zhang Haomin picked up Song Ling, who ran over, and happily turned in circles.
They obviously haven't had much time apart, but at this moment, it's like a reunion after a long absence, although Zhang Haomin also knows that all this is just an illusion, but he is still very useful.
"Haomin, you've finally come to me. ”
"Hmm. ”
Looking at Song Ling's smart eyes, Zhang Haomin sank into it for a while.
At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten everything, what the test of Lingnan Palace, what the choice of two people, he just wanted to sink forever in this moment.
The vast sword soul on the side couldn't help but ask in surprise after seeing this scene.
"Huh, how did you pick her up?"
[It's just a normal hug. 】
Zhang Haomin can't speak unscrupulously like the vast sword soul.
At this time, they are in the illusion, Zhang Haomin's words and deeds can affect the illusion, so compared to the vast sword soul that no one can notice, Zhang Haomin should be very careful when he speaks.
"Do you feel it?"
[Yes.] 】
After hearing the question of the vast sword soul, Zhang Haomin replied inexplicably.
However, as soon as he finished saying this to the vast sword soul in his heart, he reacted to an important matter, how could he possibly feel the things in the illusory realm while wearing the static stone pendant?
Thinking like this, Zhang Haomin couldn't help but feel a little creepy.
If he has a static stone pendant and can still feel things in the realm of illusions, it means that this feeling is real.
He is now holding Song Ling in his arms, so what is he holding in his arms in reality at the moment?
"What's wrong? Haomin, your face is a little ugly. ”
"No, nothing. ”
Looking at Song Ling's big watery eyes, he couldn't help but smile and said.
Anyway, he was in Lingnan Palace at this time, and this was just a test level, he believed that the will of this Lingnan Palace would not harm him, after all, the other party had already known his identity before.
"Then are you here to marry me?"
"Hmm. ”
Zhang Haomin silently let go of Song Ling in his arms, after all, the horror in his heart really made him feel at ease.
Song Ling slowly got down from Zhang Haomin's arms, and his face, which was originally extremely happy, had a touch of grievance at the moment, as if he was blaming Zhang Haomin for not wanting to hug her.
After seeing Song Ling's expression, Zhang Haomin asked with a little embarrassment.
"Ling'er, what kind of place is this?"
"Don't you remember here? ”
Hearing Song Ling say this, Zhang Haomin seemed to have some impressions of this in his mind.
Because when he was in a hurry, he hit his head on the mountain protection array of the Far South faction, and his position was just south of Mingyue Mountain at that time, and the so-called Mingyue Slope should be under his feet.
It's just that at this time of year, the flowers have not yet bloomed, and the grass has not yet become green.
"Oh, I didn't expect it to be so beautiful. ”
"Is the scenery beautiful here, or am I beautiful?"
"It's because of you that the scenery is so beautiful. ”
"Hmph, you flamboyant. ”
Song Ling's face turned red for a while after hearing Zhang Haomin's sweet words.
Obviously, she is very useful for Zhang Haomin's praise.
And just as Zhang Haomin's heart finally let down his guard and enjoyed all this again, a black mist suddenly appeared not far from Zhang Haomin and them, and a familiar voice sounded.
"Sure enough, you're here. ”
"Who are you?"
After Song Ling saw the sudden appearance of the ghost-faced man, he hurriedly protected Zhang Haomin behind him.
Zhang Haomin wanted to pat Song Ling on the shoulder and comfort her that there was nothing wrong, but he suddenly thought of something, so he stopped his hand in mid-air and turned to the ghost-faced man.
"What are you doing here?"
"Don't be so nervous, I'm not here for Yurou. ”
After hearing the ghost-faced man mention Light Rain, Zhang Haomin couldn't help but glance at Song Ling with some concern.
This kind of seemingly unsightly feeling made Zhang Haomin very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Song Ling's face did not change in the slightest, and he still looked at the ghost-faced man with extra vigilance, after all, the ghost-faced man's mask was really a little scary, and it was inevitable that people would think that there was something wrong with him.
"And what are you here for?"
"Xiaoyao, he violated the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, and at this moment he has fallen into a coma. ”
"What did you say?"
After hearing the ghost-faced man's words, Zhang Haomin's eyes couldn't help but widen in shock.
Although he knew that this world was just an illusion and that everything did not exist, when he heard the news of Xiaoyao, his heart still could not be calmed for a long time.
After seeing Zhang Haomin's appearance, the ghost-faced man sighed silently and said.
"You heard it right, because he violated the way of heaven, he had already fainted at this time. ”
"And where is he now?"
"Immortal realm. ”
After hearing what the ghost-faced man said, Song Ling's expression suddenly darkened.
However, because Song Ling was standing in front of Zhang Haomin at this time, Zhang Haomin couldn't see the expression on her face at all, so he didn't know why Song Ling's expression suddenly dimmed.
"Where in the fairy realm is he?"
"Tenwei-in. ”
Zhang Haomin didn't know much about the fairy world, so he didn't know what kind of place this Tianwei Courtyard was.
He didn't know what it was, but Ghostface knew it well, so he said in a heavy tone.
"Tianwei Yuan is to punish immortals who violate the rules of immortals. ”
"Punish the immortals who violate the immortal rules? Could it be that they want to do something to Xiaoyao. ”
For a while, Zhang Haomin couldn't help but feel anxious, he had to go to Tianwei Courtyard to save Xiaoyao.
However, his current strength has not reached the level where he can fly to the immortal realm, so even if he wants to ascend to the immortal realm, it is something that he can't do for a moment.
Ghostface said slowly, like an emotionless machine.
"They're going to use the power of heaven to knock it back to its original form. ”
"Prototypal?"
After hearing the ghost-faced man's words, Zhang Haomin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
As for the fact that the Xiaoyao body is a chess piece, except for a limited number of people who know about it, not many people know about it, so how did he know about the ghost-faced man?
Immediately, he realized a problem, this was an illusion created by the will of Lingnan Palace.
Could it be that all this is under the control of Lingnan Palace?
After thinking of this, Zhang Haomin's heart suddenly felt horrified.
After seeing Zhang Haomin's frightened face, the ghost-faced man nodded disapprovingly and said.
"You should know that very well. ”
"Phew, what am I going to do now?"
Zhang Haomin couldn't help but let out a long breath, and then asked the ghost-faced man.
Since the other party already knew about this matter, it was useless for him to say anything, so he simply remained silent about it, after all, the top priority was to go to Tianwei Courtyard to save Xiaoyao.
"Break through the Holy Realm as soon as possible. ”
"But now I have, huh, I've reached the right fit. ”
After taking a look at his current strength, Zhang Haomin couldn't help but shout excitedly.
He thought that he was just the first realm of the Divine Chi Realm, but he didn't expect that he had already reached the realm of the Fit Realm, but because he didn't know much about the Fit Realm, he didn't know his specific strength now.
"As long as you follow my method, you can break through the Holy Realm in just a few days. ”
"But even if I break through the Holy Realm, then I am still a long way from ascending to the Immortal Realm. ”
"Not much, don't forget that you still have a Dao Fruit in your body. ”
Hearing what the ghost-faced man said, Zhang Haomin remembered that there was still a fruit in Vientiane.
Because of this Vientiane Convergence Fruit, since he participated in the Shenghua Sect assessment, he exploded in advance under the pressure of Yue Gonglun, and since then there has been no reaction.
In this way, Zhang Haomin gradually forgot its existence.
"Then according to your meaning, it only takes me a few days to ascend to the Immortal Realm. ”
"That's right. ”
The ghost-faced man nodded solemnly after seeing Zhang Haomin's unbelievable gaze.
He seemed to know what it was, even if it sounded like a fantasy.
Since the ghost-faced man is so confident, Zhang Haomin naturally accepted it gladly, after all, now that Xiaoyao is in danger, the sooner he soars to the immortal realm, the more likely he is to rescue Xiaoyao.
"Then let's get started. ”
Just when Zhang Haomin couldn't wait for this, Song Ling turned around and hugged him all of a sudden.
However, at this moment that should have been particularly moving, Zhang Haomin's scalp was numb, because he could clearly feel the feeling of Song Ling hugging him, which made him very frightened.
"You, are you alright? ”
After Song Ling felt Zhang Haomin's disgust, his heart became even more uncomfortable for a while.
She didn't know what was going on, why Zhang Haomin, who liked to hold her, was so reluctant at the moment, and even resisted all this.
There were some feelings that she could feel even if she didn't say them.
Zhang Haomin seemed to have some disgust in her heart for physical contact with her, and then she silently let go of Zhang Haomin.
"I'm fine. ”
"Then why are you crying?"
Although all this was an illusion, when Zhang Haomin saw Song Ling crying, his heart still hurt.
He couldn't help but want to take Song Ling into his arms, but he was extremely resistant to it in his heart.
So he just froze in place, this unfamiliar feeling made Song Ling feel even more sad for a while, she didn't say anything more, and turned around and left.
"Ling'er. ”
Zhang Haomin's shouting had no effect, he could only silently watch Song Ling disappear from his field of vision.
Although he knew very well that this was just something that could be solved by rushing up and grabbing her arm and holding her tightly in his arms, it was an illusion after all, and everything was fake.
And I don't know what that real touch is.
After seeing this, the Ghostface couldn't help but ask.
"You're not going to catch up?"
"Nope. ”
Zhang Haomin shook his head slightly as if all the strength in his body had been exhausted.
Although this is a test given to him by Lingnan Palace, it is also an unreal illusion, he really can't hold Song Ling in his arms like reality, then he will only be more disgusted.
Now, he just wants to escape from all this and return to the real world.
"Once some people miss each other, it's likely to be a lifetime, don't you really catch up?"
"Maybe that's fate. ”
Looking at the towering Mingyue Mountain not far away, Zhang Haomin suddenly laughed.
At this moment, he seemed to know the answer to all this, instead of being in a dilemma, it was better to take the initiative to let go and choose to leave, which was not a good result for Song Ling.
After all, the two of them have only known each other for more than ten days.
If you know someone in such a short time, it shouldn't take much time to forget about it.
The ghost-faced man's gaze also looked at Mingyue Mountain, but what he saw was not Mingyue Mountain at all, but another place, where he also had a choice and let go.
"I think it's better to forget it. ”
"Forget it?"
"He's a pawn, and there's nothing wrong with turning it back in. ”
Zhang Haomin couldn't help frowning after hearing the ghost-faced man's words.
He had promised Xiaoyao that he would help him escape from the chessboard and be completely free, how could he choose to escape all this when Xiaoyao needed him the most?
"And that's what you mean?"
"Isn't it good to spend your life with the girl you love in this world?"
"There's nothing wrong with that, it's just that I feel uneasy. ”
After hearing Zhang Haomin's words, the ghost-faced man also fell into deep thought for a while.
I don't know how long it took, but the ghost-faced man suddenly said with a smile.
"Hahaha, it's hard to be at ease, how can you be happy. ”
Zhang Haomin turned his head to look at the ghost-faced man in some surprise, as if he had only known the ghost-faced man at this moment.
Then, he also laughed and said slowly.
"Actually, isn't this another kind of uneasiness? After all, I have failed a beloved girl. ”
"If you fail someone, you can't let go of it for the rest of your life. ”
"But what should I do?"
"I'll give you one piece of advice, and that's to stay with her for the rest of your life. ”
The ghost-faced man's gaze became solemn for a while, as if he was explaining a very important matter.
He used to be like Zhang Haomin, who gave up a beloved girl for a promise, thinking that when he fulfilled his promise, everything would be in time, but he regretted it for life.
Once some people miss it, it is really possible to miss it in their lifetime.
It is precisely because of this that he suddenly gave Zhang Haomin such a solemn suggestion, hoping that he could stay.
However, Zhang Haomin finally shook his head.
"What if I stay, what will I do? And I can come back to her after I've saved her. ”
"Immortals can't meddle in the affairs of the world. ”
The ghost-faced man's words suddenly made Zhang Haomin stunned.
He just forgot that there is such a thing, once he becomes an immortal, everything in the world becomes an unattainable thing, how can he fall in love?
However, Zhang Haomin also remembered an exception, and that was Xiaoyao.
Although this guy is also an immortal, he can blatantly meddle in human affairs, and he also hooked up with the daughter of the Shi family, which is really envious of others.
If it's okay to be free, then why can't he?
"It's okay, there's always a way to do it. ”
It was because of this that Xiaoyao was captured by the Tianwei Academy and threatened to be punished. ”
"Then I will demolish this Tianwei Temple. ”
"You can demolish Tianwei Academy, what about Tianwei? You can't also wipe out the Heavenly Dao. ”
Zhang Haomin was like a fish in his throat for a while, what the ghost-faced man said was indeed a problem.
However, this problem is really a bit far away for him now, after all, he has not yet ascended to immortal, and this Tianwei Academy is also an unattainable existence.
"This level is called choice, I'm afraid this is a matter of choice. ”
"Oh, are you in Lingnan Palace?"
"How do you know everything?"
Seeing the ghost-faced man with the old god there, Zhang Haomin couldn't help but look at him suspiciously.
And the ghost-faced man was suddenly stared at by Zhang Haomin, and immediately felt a little embarrassed, so he subconsciously reached out and was about to touch his nose, but he was blocked by the mask on his face.
"It's a secret that can't be told. ”
"Secret?"
Zhang Haomin squinted his eyes slightly, and he suddenly felt that there was a lot of mystery in this.
Although all of this seemed to be in the Lingnan Palace, and it was all an illusion, he seemed to notice something wrong, and the ghost-faced man in front of him was not simulated by the illusion.
Seeing Zhang Haomin so suspicious, the ghost-faced man hurriedly diverted the topic and said.
"Have you decided you want to stay?"
"Don't think about it, hurry up and explain it honestly. ”
"Fate is uncertain, if you leave here now, you may never come back in this life, and even your beloved girl will miss it, won't you regret it?"
Zhang Haomin, who was still staring at the ghost-faced man, couldn't help but fall into deep thought after hearing his words at this moment.
How could he not regret this?
However, even if he regretted it, did he have to let Xiaoyao be beaten back to his original form by the Tianwei Academy and not save him? Xiaoyao was quite good to him, he couldn't be so ruthless and unjust.
"Regret, but I have to go. ”
"History is always strikingly similar, so go for it. ”
Zhang Haomin couldn't help but look at the ghost-faced man suspiciously, he couldn't understand what this guy was thinking in his head.
After all, he was here to urge himself to save Xiaoyao.
But when he made up his mind to work hard to ascend and go to the fairy world to save Xiaoyao, this guy persuaded him to stay, it was like a split personality, inexplicable.
"Hey, what the hell do you mean?"
Before Zhang Haomin's words were finished, everything in front of him immediately changed.
The original colorful world disappeared in an instant, replaced by the brightly lit Lingnan Palace, and he seemed to have maintained the same movements just now.
"Young man, you should have the answer. ”
"I got it. ”
"Then congratulations, you've passed all the tests. ”
