Chapter 82: Yu Mei

It's night.

Water Moon Kanjin Hall.

The shrine was dark and empty, there were no gods or Buddhas, only a huge shadow hovering over the altar.

The light was dim, and the shapes could not be seen clearly.

"Where's the Huai Demon?"

A hoarse voice belonging to an elderly woman rang out from the shadows.

The soap clerk crawled under the hall, not facing the domineering of "Xing Catcher", like a chicken cub who had just come out of the shell, burying his face in the floor tiles, and did not dare to move.

"The child is not good, let Yu Mei get away, but ......"

The voice was not interested in hearing him argue.

"What about Bo Ziyu?"

The soapman shuddered and buried his face deeper.

"Dead. ”

There was a moment of silence in the darkness.

The voice burst into laughter.

The soapman still didn't dare to look up, but he heard the laughter getting closer, almost against the back of his neck.

He was already paralyzed into mud, and he didn't dare to move, only two rows of teeth chattered unconsciously.

Ultimately.

"That's it. ”

The laughter stopped abruptly, and the voice retreated above the altar.

"It's Yu Zhenren's own hand, and it is inevitable that he has some magical powers. ”

"I'll write it down for the time being, and I'll do things in the future. ”

The soap man was pardoned, but he was bold.

"What about Yu Mei?"

"It's okay, it's just an idler, after the Dionysian sacrifice, everything will be in your hands!"

"Stand down. ”

The soapman did not dare to stop, and hunched his waist and retreated.

When the door opens and closes.

Just as the rain dissipated.

The moonlight shines coldly into the shrine.

The shadow was outlined, and it was a giant butterfly.

Shaken by the moonlight, the butterfly's wings reflect a little broken light, just like the Milky Way hanging upside down, just like the wings of the Xiao Han.

It is the Hundred Butterflies.

But what is different from the previous one is that the head of the Hundred Illusion Butterfly at this time is actually embedded with a human face, an old woman's face, and a face that is the same as Yu Mei.

There was a strange look on his face.

The upper half of his face was hollow and sluggish, but the lower half of his face had a hint of an occasional smile, and he even spoke:

"Not to mention being in a trap and highlighting the encirclement, can you still provoke my carefully arranged backhand? Yu Zhenren, Yu Zhenren, it seems that there is still not enough frankness between the two of us. I need your illusion to exist, and you also need me to maintain the illusion, but we can both benefit together, so why should you struggle for nothing?"

Laughter echoed through the dark shrine.

Yu Mei's empty eyes also seemed to be full of brilliance.

But it soon disappeared.

Turned into a line of blood and tears

Flows along the wrinkles.

............

When Yu Mei woke up from her slumber.

I found myself at the bottom of a huge well-shaped building, surrounded by a spiraling passage in the stone wall.

Yu Mei recognized this place.

Or say.

Everyone who has been to Xiaoshui should recognize this place.

This is the Dionysian kiln.

It's just that.

How did I end up here?

I was in a trance for a moment.

She immediately remembered that she had been ordered to investigate a demon rebellion in Xiaoshui, but her boss was also the connector, but there was no news. Until tonight, she suddenly sent a message, ordering her to go somewhere to assassinate a child who was about to be demonized before the end of the night.

Time is of the essence.

There's no time to prepare.

When she hurried there, but didn't want to, it turned out to be a trap.

Have the joints defected, or have they been controlled by demons?

Yu Mei's face was gloomy.

Both of these possibilities really mean only one thing, and that's that she's in danger and isolated.

But.

Why are you in the Dionysian kiln?

The after-effects of poisoning made the brain a little sluggish, and it took hard to think about it, and the fragments of memory were pieced together.

She remembered.

The night rain is shaking, and the sound of killing is high. At the risk of being pierced by thousands of arrows, he climbed high and looked around, and finally saw a gap in the encirclement and found a glimmer of life.

But when he really broke out of the encirclement and fled into a street. found that the road ahead was full of corpses, there were people and monsters, and above the corpses, there was a swordsman in a clothed man......

"Are you awake?"

Yu Mei looked back in horror.

only to find that the man in the cloth in her memory was actually squatting beside her.

Her hand subconsciously touched her waist, but grabbed a void.

"What are you looking for?"

The other party handed over a sheathed short sword.

Without thinking, Yu Mei reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword, and immediately, a flash of snowy sword light burst out, smearing towards the clothed guest.

But the clothier had already withdrawn.

Yu Mei pursued with his sword without thinking.

Regardless of whether the other party has good intentions or bad intentions, as an agent of the Suppression Division, it is obviously the first choice to control it first.

However.

Maybe it's the injury that drags down, maybe it's the other party's blind dodge, Yu Mei grabbed more than ten swords in a row, but he didn't even hurt the corner of the opponent's clothes, but he was injured by himself, and his eyes were full of gold stars.

At a glance, it looks like a novice with a sword being played by a veteran.

Knowing that there was nothing to do, Yu Mei immediately held his sword to defend himself, and the other party did not pursue, but just smiled:

"The lord of the Heavenly Tower, the town and the town division inspect Yu Mei, this is how to thank the life-saving benefactor?"

The lord of the sky?

What is it?

Although Yu Mei didn't know what the other party was talking about, she was stunned by an inexplicable sense of shame in her heart.

This feeling was quickly suppressed by her, she was even more strange, or more vigilant, why did the other party know her identity, and why did he save her?

"Who are you?"

Such a simple question provoked a long silence.

The cloth guest thought for a long time, but when he opened his mouth, he threw out a question that was as inexplicable and unrelated as the "Lord of the Heavenly Tower".

"Have you ever heard a frog chirping?"

............

Of course, the cloth guest is Li Changan.

When he dealt with the group of impostors who were scared and weak-legged, Yu Mei suddenly jumped out and fell headlong in front of him.

The Taoist priest rescued Yu Mei and took her to the Dionysian kiln, where he treated her roughly.

As for why not leave.

The reason is simple.

Li Changan felt that he needed a helper.

And Yu Mei is the only choice.

Yu Mei is different from the other youkai in the environment.

Those monsters captured by Yu Zhenren, each of them are cannibals and have a lot of blood debts.

But Yu Mei is different, she is just a locust tree that has bloomed a little wisely because of her age, and she was ignited by Yu Zhenren and became a secret spy on Yu Mei in the illusion of Zhenfu Division.

She had never had real human blood on her hands.

And as the "grave keeper", the caretaker of the illusion, she is also different from the vine demon Yu Mei. Yu Mei is portrayed as Yu Zhenren's old age, an old man in the twilight of the West Mountain, nostalgic for his homeland and conservative, while Yu Mei is Yu Zhenren's youth, acting narrowly but sharply, and daring to make decisions.

The personalities of the two determine that their attitudes towards illusions are definitely different.

Of course.

What's more.

Xiaoshui Fantasy has been occupied by the Hundred Illusion Butterfly Dove.

She didn't really have a choice.

So the only question: how can Li Changan convince Yu Mei, who plays the role of Yu Mei, that the world she lives in, her past, her identity, and even her love and hatred are all dreams woven by others?

............

There is no reason for a woman's likes and dislikes.

Especially wayward women.

For example, Yu Zhenren, a strange woman, is not afraid of dead people, she is not afraid of monsters, and she doesn't care about snakes, insects, rats and ants, but she only has one thing that is disgusting - frogs.

As I said earlier, when this Taoist real person created the Xiaoshui Illusion, he came from his own temperament.

So her aversion to frogs led to a problem.

That is Xiaoshui, which is located in the south, Xiaoshui, where water and grass are abundant, and in late spring, there are no frogs and toads.

This really makes Li Changan puzzling, roasted frogs are easier to eat than stewed mice.

............

Frog crowing?

Yu Mei is inexplicable.

Who hasn't heard of it...... Her ears moved, and the night was quiet, because it was quiet, so the sounds that were usually ignored were particularly obvious, the whimpering of the wind, the mooring of the water, the occasional human voice and dog barking, and the continuous sound of insects, but there was no frog sound.

Yu Mei was silent for a while.

"What do you mean?"

She knew that the other party was asking about "frog sound", but the plan was definitely not as simple as "frog sound".

"If you really want to know. ”

Li Changan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his words had at least made a good start.

"Relax, don't resist. ”

Say goodbye, clasp your hands together.

"Smack. ”

Yu Mei was shocked to realize that what she saw around her suddenly became blurred.

There was also a force deep in the void, pulling her somewhere.

This force is not strong.

Even if she was seriously injured and weak, she could use her mana to break free easily.

As an agent of the Pacification Division, especially after being betrayed, her vigilance will not allow herself to be at the mercy of a stranger.

But.

That's a ridiculous question.

"Have you ever heard a frog chirping?"

But it was pressed on my heart.

She pursed her lips and eventually gave up her resistance.

The next second.

What was around me became clear again.

She found herself still in the Dionysian Kiln, but the steep and smooth stone walls were now crawling with vines and flowers, and birds leaping among them in search of insects under the leaves.

She lifted her face.

Sunlight casts through the kiln opening, which is no longer covered.

Brilliantly bright.

In just a moment.

The world has changed.
