() 'Click......' There was a slight sound, and the ice began to break......

He Lingyun was numb from the cold and had a high fever. As a result, his hearing became dull, and he didn't hear the slightest sound at all. Still shivering and snowing on the ice......

Unexpectedly, his body temperature failed to melt the ice, and his actions made Piaoxue cry. The tears continued to liquefy the frozen water under the ice as if they were boiling, and the speed of melting was beyond He Lingyun's expectations.

'Poof!'

He Lingyun was not prepared at all, and his body suddenly sank. He didn't even have time to shout 'ah' before he sank into the icy water. He held his breath in the icy water, forced his eyes open, and finally confronted the drifting snow underwater. He breathed a little bit in his mouth, reached for Drifting Snow's hand, turned to pick her up, and got up wet from the water......

He twisted his body and put the snow on the lotus platform to lie down, and he hurriedly jumped out of the trough, jumped on the lotus platform and twisted his wet pants...... , finally no longer have to suffer from freezing, his whole body is in good spirits. Being able to save the woman he liked, he suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment and felt that he was not so useless.

He sat down beside Piaoxue, looked at her amazing face, and gently wiped the water from her face. I thought: Now that I've rescued her from the ice couch, it's time to break through the second level, but where is the entrance to this second level?

He walked down the lotus platform and wandered around the cave again. But after walking around, I still didn't find a way to the double illusion. Is that old man lying to me? It doesn't make sense, he doesn't look like a liar. He had no choice but to return to the original point, and sat down next to Piaoxue only to suddenly find that the ice water that had just melted had already dried up, and there was a line of words engraved on the bottom of the sink:

It is difficult for one person to drink the water in the pool

He Lingyun looked at it and thought: I don't know which predecessor engraved such a poem here, seeing that he means that he feels too lonely and wants to find a drinking friend. ...... Hey, I can't find the entrance to the second layer of illusion right now, so why don't I carve a line to accompany you. So he found a stone, and at the bottom of the sink, corresponding to the seven words, carved another line underneath:

Dedicated to the people of dreams

As soon as the word 'human' was drawn, I suddenly felt that the cave began to shake, and the surface began to tremble. He didn't know what was going on, and he was afraid that the cave would suddenly collapse. Hurriedly picked up the drifting snow and went down the lotus platform, preparing to hide in all directions...... , I saw that the lotus pond just now suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the sight of a miserable white, making people unable to open their eyes. And the golden beam of light hit the top, spreading out from the top to the surroundings, and where the golden light hit, the whole environment was completely changed.

He Lingyun carried the drifting snow on his back and went through everything stupidly. When the sight was restored, I realized that this place had become another world......

This is a barren land, and it takes many years of drought to cause the soil to crack, and the soil under your feet is hard and separated. Deep cracks intertwine like a net. In the distance, you can see black and brown dead trees scattered in the trees. The sky was obscured by a gray haze, making the air cloudy.

Suddenly, there was a strange itch under his feet, and a palm-sized beetle was under his feet, touching He Lingyun's toes with black tentacles.

'Ahh

A heart-rending scream made He Lingyun feel unbearable pain. The beetle bit He Lingyun's toe...... He kicked the beetle away, and when he looked down, his toes began to bleed. The pain in his heart made him feel the urge to lift his feet and rub them. But he held back, he didn't want the snow to set foot on the dirty surface. I don't want these disgusting things to gnaw on the snow......

He squeezed his eyebrows, gritted his teeth and looked ahead, thinking: If I want to find a way to break the barrier, it will be inconvenient to carry the fairy sister on my back. It's better to put her on the dead tree in front of you, and wait for a way to take her through the level. As long as they don't touch the ground, those damn bugs shouldn't pose a threat to the fairy sister. Having made up his mind, he walked towards the dead wood in front of him step by step

Go......

The blood on his feet left a trail on the hard soil, and suddenly he heard a faint 'chirping' sound behind him, and he turned sideways to look back at his facial features......

'I'm dripping mom......'

Tens of thousands of beetles were already following behind, and the super-sized insect soldiers were like a black torrent, grabbing the blood stains left in the footprints while quickly marching towards them......

'Ahh

He screamed in fright, and hurriedly turned around and ran away......

The hard ground is like a piece of stubborn rock, and the pain in the heart of the foot is unbearable. But the pain was nothing compared to a beetle's bite. With great palpitations in his heart, he ran under the dead tree in one breath.

He used all his strength to carry the drifting snow to the tree with his crooked neck, and he himself clung to the trunk like a gecko, clinging to the dead wood with all four feet, and turned his head to look down with his grin......

Unexpectedly, those insects didn't dare to approach when they reached a distance of one foot, so they circled around......

Strange, why didn't they dare to go near the trees? Could it be that the trees repel insects? He sniffed the trunk of the tree and noticed that there was a sour smell wafting from the trunk. He looked up at the half-lying snow on the branches, and said embarrassedly: "Snow girl, although this tree stinks, but for the sake of peace, you can bear with it, I will drive them away and let you come down......"

With that, he grabbed the trunk of the tree with his legs, reached out and broke a few branches, ready to tie a broom to drive away the beetles. Unexpectedly, after the branches broke, a white thick pulp flowed out of the trees......

This surprise discovery made He Lingyun immediately have an idea, he smelled the white thick pulp, the smell was exactly the same as on the dead tree. So he frantically broke the branches, smearing the white liquid on his ankles and even his body.

Not only that, but he also closed his eyes and said to Piaoxue: "I, me, me...... I didn't mean to offend, I just didn't want you to be ......bitten by bugs," he said, lifting the hem of the snowy skirt and smearing the white slurry onto her white ankles.

The Yuan Shen of Drifting Snow sensed everything about him, and couldn't help laughing: "Silly boy, it's more than an explanation!"

After everything was ready, He Lingyun jumped to the ground with a sigh of relief. Sure enough, this method worked very well, and those insects were all watching from the periphery of him, and they didn't dare to approach. He smiled and said to the worms, "Hehe, you want to eat me, no way! To be honest, I'm hungrier than you, but I'm not going to eat you, and you don't want to eat me!"

After venting his emotions, he picked up Piaoxue again and walked forward......

Not long after walking, a small flag fluttering high suddenly appeared in the chaotic vision, and when the flag shook in the wind, the word 'tea' could be vaguely seen written on it in red ink.

He Lingyun happily said to Piaoxue: "It's okay this time, it's finally saved......

With joy in his heart, he quickened his pace. When I got closer, I saw that it was a makeshift simple tea shed. The tea shed was made of tattered canvas, and the conical shed was topped with the flag He Lingyun had just seen. To his surprise, the bracket holding the canvas was tied with a spear from the roots. He Lingyun has been an official in the court for three or four years, and although he has never fought at the border pass, he also knows very well that this kind of temporary shed is a common trick used by soldiers on the march.

"Is there anybody? please?" he shouted into the triangular tent.

An old lady walked out with a red tassel gun on her back......

He Lingyun visually measured the age of this old lady, she should be past her old age. Counting the wrinkles on her face, you can imagine how many ups and downs she has experienced.

"I'm sorry! We're new here, and we want to rest and ask about something......"

The old lady picked up a teapot from the table, poured a glass of water and handed it to He Lingyun: "Drink it......

This comes with nothing

The words of the sign sounded so abrupt to He Lingyun. I didn't expect the two to get acquainted with each other, and this old man was so generous. Although it is only a drop of grace, this kindness came too suddenly, making people feel up and down, and they don't know whether to accept it......

The old lady said with a blank face, "Drink! There is no water source anywhere but me." ”

He Lingyun stared at the old lady suspiciously, took the bowl from her hand, and glanced into the tea bowl......

'I'm dripping my mother!'

What is this? Can you drink this water? The black bowl was filled with a sour muddy soup. Before I even entered my mouth, I could smell the smell of disgust. He held the tea bowl in one hand, his chapped lips twitching, and the ambivalence in his heart made him not know what to do. On the one hand, I was tempted by this rare liquid, and on the other hand, I couldn't accept the taste in this bowl. I couldn't help but roll my Adam's apple, gritted my teeth, and drank the liquid in the bowl.

The tea was finished, but the ugly expression also vividly wrote the sense of rejection in my heart.

The old lady said, "You have finished drinking the tea, and then you can make a choice......

'Choice?' He Lingyun was puzzled and looked at the old lady blankly.

The old lady took out four small wooden signs from her sleeve. He put four signs on the table and said, "You just drank Huakun tea, and after a stick of incense, you will become a black beetle and stay here forever." However, you still have four options before the effects of the drug kick in. These four cards lead to four different regions. One is the gold and silver ferry, from where you can go directly to the gate of wealth, and from then on the rich side, the second is the beauty ferry, from where you can go to the jade kingdom and be a groom every night, the third is the love ferry, from where you can go to the valley of forgetfulness, forget all unhappiness and live in joy forever, the fourth is the slave ferry, from where you can go to the slave tribe, from now on the high power, respected by all the people. However, you only have one chance to flop because you only brought one person. As long as you kill her, you can get a chance to choose......"

He Lingyun was stunned, what kind of rule is this? No matter where these four cards lead, they are not the result I want. So he asked, "What if I don't choose?"

"Huh...... You don't have a choice, because you've already drunk my Hua Kun tea. You look at the black beetles behind you, they are the result of not choosing. In the end, they all turned into beetles, inhabited the cracks in the ground, and killed each other for a little water. Do you want to be like them, to lose your future, to become a worm, to belittle your own life?"

"Of course I don't want to spoil myself, but I can't do it if you ask me to kill my friend. I'm here to save her, and if I kill her to protect myself, then I might as well die. He Lingyun glanced at the old lady, and regretted drinking her tea in his heart. If I am more determined, I must endure my thirst and leave angrily......

After thinking for a long time, he said: "Since I ate your tea by mistake, there is no way back now." You better put away these four cards, I'd rather be a worm and stay here forever than persecute the women around me. However, I have a request, please let her go, wherever she can lead, as long as she can live happily, I am relieved!"

The old lady smiled and said, "Hehehe...... I don't have that ability. You don't choose money, beauty, power, or comfort, you deserve it! Why should I agree to your terms?"

He Lingyun saw that the old lady had no favor to talk about, and it seemed that she could really only send Piaoxue here. He laughed without regret:

"It's hard to buy a beloved,

Wishful thinking is hard to beat.

Even if there are thousands of beautiful women,

It's better to be in red clothes and do what I want.

What about high power?

The dream bubble bursts in a blink of an eye.

I made a coffin with love.

How can you be at peace?"
