Chapter 40: The Thunderclouds Change and Frightened Xiao Er

A hand grabbed me hard, and by the time I opened my eyes, it was back on the ground. Hu Xiaoer let go of my arm and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oops, I'm tired!"

He sat on the ground, his hands wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, and the pear vortex looming at the corner of his mouth.

I stared at his unchanged outfit, suddenly jumped up, and said in shock: "You you ......"

"I'm ......" Hu Xiaoer also jumped up and followed my example, "What's wrong with me?"

"You can see me too?"

He frowned, "I'm not blind, of course I can see you." ”

I subconsciously took a few steps back, and suddenly I had a flash of inspiration and asked him again: "Wait, Hu Xiaoer, where are you from?"

"Where did it come from?" Hu Xiaoer looked puzzled, leaned over and looked at me carefully, "Woman, this illusion of red wind and dust can be fake and real, but it won't make people stupid." ”

It was in this familiar tone that I secretly made a false alarm, and I was relieved to take a good look at the place I was. The sky was covered by black clouds overhead, but there was a crescent moon, and there were high mountains nearby, and there was a hazy place in the distance, and Hu Xiaoer and I were landing in a small pergola between the mountains at this night.

I took a deep breath and asked him, "You mean, we're in the illusion of red wind and dust?"

"That's right. ”

Hu Xiaoer replied loudly, and his expression became serious, "I kind of figured it out." This owner of Fengyue Tower, Hong Fengchen, who came out of nowhere, is indeed a powerful person. I think not only does Ma Shiyou's paintings have in her hands, but she can also freely manipulate the four hours of day and night in the paintings, so as to create a new illusion for her use. ”

I was silent for a moment and said, "Then what is her purpose in doing this?"

"I guess it's for the sake of confusing people's minds, and it's also for the longevity of illusion and spiritual power. Hu Xiaoer said, "Do you remember that Hua Daxia said that Fengyue Tower needs popularity to maintain illusion? ”

Therefore, the purpose of holding this intercession conference is to know what people's hearts want, so that she can conjure up, so that people can fall into it and can't extricate themselves. ”

Hu Xiaoer gave a thumbs up and nodded, "It's worthy of a woman, just a little bit." ”

But I was a little confused: "No, if it's to confuse people's minds...... When we were waiting at the gate before, we saw a few people go in and come out with our own eyes, and they all talked and laughed, and their expressions were as usual. ”

"The sunset map of the south of the Yangtze River that Ma Shi has is enough to confuse them, and this illusion is used to deal with outsiders. Hu Xiaoer lowered his voice and said, "Have you ever thought that Hong Fengchen, as the master of the illusion, may be under her control from the moment we stepped into Sunset Town." This time, I am afraid that the thoughts of the intercession conference have long been known to her. ”

"Then senior brother, they don't know the truth yet, isn't it very dangerous?"

"It's not that bad. Hu Xiaoer patted me on the shoulder and said, "It's just that for now, we must quickly find the exit of this illusion and get out of here." ”

As soon as these words fell, a bright light burst out from the black curtain overhead, and thunder and lightning followed. The green forest by the pergola "clattered", the demonic wind was blowing, and the weather here changed a little strangely, and even the mountains were unpredictable.

I began to be nervous: "I'm afraid that you are right, your words and deeds are all under the control of Hongfengchen." ”

The side was empty, and when I turned around, I saw a blue ball shrinking in the corner of the shed.

"Boomβ€”" There was another flash of lightning and thunder, and the blue ball trembled.

I also squatted down and asked him gently, "Are you afraid of thunder?"

"Who is afraid of thunder!" Hu Xiaoer immediately raised his head to argue, his eyes a little red. The sky outside the pergola flickered again, and he shrank his head back a little tremblingly, "That's it, it's just squatting down a little, it's not easy, it's not easy to be struck by lightning." ”

I nodded to him knowingly and smiled at him in relief. Hu Xiaoer looked at me and was stunned for a while, then lowered his head and hugged himself.

I squatted with him in the corner of the pergola, waiting for the storm outside to pass. In the meantime, although Hu Xiaoer's body trembled, he also had some questions to ask me.

"Say, speaking of which, woman, what did the red wind and dust conjure up to confuse you? You, what did you see in the illusion?"

"Well......" I took a deep breath, my cheeks a little hot, "I made up a random story to tell her before, and she naturally couldn't confuse me." ”

"Then, then why did you fall down in a panic? If I hadn't saved you, you would have ......" Hu Xiaoer obviously didn't believe it, he stared at my face and rolled his eyes, "Would you-"

"Could it be anything?" I tucked my sleeves and my heart pounded.

"You didn't see me in a fantasy, did you?"

The lightning and thunder stopped abruptly, and Hu Xiaoer became much more cheerful, and raised the pear vortex at the corner of his mouth to me very curiously.

"How is that possible?" I turned my eyes away from him, my hot cheeks should have turned a lot redder, and I don't know if he saw anything. I shook my head repeatedly, "I didn't see you." ”

"No!" Hu Xiaoer had completely returned to normal, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became, "Then why were you so excited when you first met me, and asked me strangely where I came from? I thought you lied to Hong Fengchen that I was your crush, so she conjured up a me to confuse you." ”

I didn't expect him to be mistaken like this, I thought he had accidentally glimpsed something in the illusion, but luckily he didn't see anything.

Even if my heart is weak, I glared at him with two eyes, "Nonsense." ”

Thinking about it wasn't enough to get you entertained, I added, "Whimsical!"

"Cut. Hu Xiaoer snorted, turned his head and pouted again.

I tilted my head to see that he was still a little unhappy, and then changed the topic and asked him, "Hey, I haven't asked you yet, why did you come in?" It's not that you left quickly before we came out, Hu Xiaoer, why didn't you keep the agreement?"

"Last night, when the strategy was set, your senior brother asked the two of us to wait at the door to answer it, didn't you go in without keeping the agreement?" he said, "Besides, you haven't come out, I have to go in and take a look." Although I am timid, I am not so greedy for life and afraid of death. But I didn't say anything to Hong Fengchen, she just asked me to see a painting. There was a blank space on the painting, and she waved her sleeves, and I fell into a white mist, and then I saw you. ”

"A painting......" I pondered as he followed. Since Hu Xiaoer didn't give anything out, Hong Fengchen naturally couldn't conjure anything to confuse him. It's justβ€”

Why did he enter my illusion? Senior Brother, Ten Aunts, and Black Catcher should still be in their own illusions, how can I save them?

The road ahead was confused, and the towering mountains were reflected in the darkness. I was just about to take a good look at where the mountain roads in front of me lead, when Hu Xiaoer stood up suddenly, pointed to a certain place on the mountain road and shouted:

"Look, there's a man there!"
