Chapter 56: Reality
What Shen Yan could see began to change again.
This time in the corridor outside the palace hall, Huaiyu stretched out his hand to catch the moth, stared at the moth for a long time, and then said, "It's hard work." ”
The moth fluttered its wings and fled into the night.
Huaiyu was still standing in the same place and looking at the direction in which the moth flew, and the corners of his mouth suddenly brought a sneer.
Turning around and entering the main hall, did he wait for Mingyue who was sitting in the hall to ask, Huaiyu spoke first: "As Your Highness expected, Liu Chen really planned to let Shen Yu deceive His Highness's real name. ”
Mingyue paused for a moment, and then said, "I know." ”
Huaiyu said again: "Your Highness, you don't really want to give your name to Shen Yu, do you?"
Mingyue lowered her head and said, "Not bad." ....... Huaiyu is only half of his divine power, and he will come back after returning to the divine realm for retreat a few times. Shen Yu is not like others, I am relieved that the divine power is given to him. ”
"But ......" Huaiyu still wanted to say, but when she saw Mingyue's gaze, she knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she could only say: "Then Your Highness, we can talk about it, and we will go back to the God Realm after this time." His Royal Highness Cangming has already sent messages more than once to ask His Highness to go back earlier, if it weren't for the fact that he is now at a critical moment in retreat, he would have come and take you back himself. ”
Mingyue asked with a slight surprise, "Is my brother in retreat?"
Huaiyu nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled: "I'll just say, with my brother's character, why hasn't he come to me in person for so long....... Okay Huaiyu, after doing this last thing, I'll go back to the God Realm with you. ”
"That's fine. Hearing Mingyue's promise, Huaiyu was relieved.
But Shen Yan knew that Mingyue would not be able to return to the God Realm.
What I saw in front of me changed again, this time from the palace of the Mingyue Dynasty to Taixuan Mountain.
Shen Yan saw that Mingyue couldn't see the Illusory Sea Forest and turned to Shen Yu to talk to Shen Yu when he wanted to say something unusual.
Such a thought made her can't help but pinch a cold sweat for Mingyue, but Mingyue didn't seem to see Shen Yu's abnormality, and even when Shen Yu said that he wanted to take her to Divine Sword Peak, he still didn't plan to change her goal.
She didn't flash like she did when she came to Taixuan Mountain before, but walked towards Feiyu Peak step by step like an ordinary person.
After taking a few steps, Mingyue turned to look at Shen Yu with a faint smile on her face: "Shen Yu, have you ever loved me?"
"What?" Shen Yu was a little flustered.
Mingyue continued to ask, "Have you ever loved me?...... It is not the love of the believer for the gods, but the love of the man for the woman. ”
Shen Yu opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know why he never spoke.
"I ......."
"When I was Mingyue, the Demon Emperor told me before he died that he loved me, but at that time I didn't know what love was. "Mingyue is also Mingyue now, but everyone knows that when she said "when she is Mingyue", she means that it has not been revealed that it is the time when the goddess is reincarnated.
Shen Yu followed behind her and listened to her, but she didn't say anything more.
Mingyue didn't care, as always, with a gentle chuckle, and said, "When I met you later, I didn't understand much, but I seemed to understand a little." ...... Shen Yu, do you love me?"
She stopped, turned around and looked directly at Shen Yu.
Obviously, the weather was not very hot, and it was clear that the cultivators were already cold and hot, but Shen Yu suddenly felt that his mouth was dry.
"I ...... It's love for you. ”
Obviously it was just a few simple words, but Shen Yu said it extremely heavily.
Mingyue laughed for the first time. After laughing, he got a little closer and said, "My real name is Cangyue." ”
Something, a subtle and esoteric connection is established.
"Let's go to Flying Feather Peak. ”
“....... Good. ”
Shen Yu was silent and followed behind Mingyue.
On the Flying Feather Peak, the wind blows and the snow dances.
Mingyue raised her hand to catch a snowflake, and the snowflake disappeared into spiritual power in an instant: "There is often wind blowing snow above the heavenly realm. ”
"Shen Yu, would you like to go back to heaven with me?"
"I ......."
Before he could open his mouth, Shen Yan saw that Shen Yu had an extra silver-white long sword in his hand. She subconsciously shouted to be careful.
Snort –
The sound of a sharp weapon piercing into flesh and blood seemed to be amplified countless times at this moment.
"I'm sorry....... Cangyue. ”
Shen Yu drew his sword and brought out a string of blood flowers, tears slowly flowing from his eyes, but he could only repeat the same sentence in his mouth.
All kinds of people appeared in all directions, blood-red formations appeared at the feet of Mingyue, and countless arrows condensed by spiritual power also appeared from the hands of those people, shooting towards Mingyue.
Shen Yu wanted to stop it, but he fell to the ground because of the divine power that suddenly poured into his body, if he hadn't tried his best to keep his consciousness awake, I'm afraid he would have passed out at this moment. But it was precisely because of this that he could only watch as Mingyue was pierced through his heart by ten thousand arrows, and finally sank into the ground with the heavy sealing formation.
The last scene that Shen Yan could see was that Huaiyu led people to appear, causing a rain of blood to rain on Mingyue's blood, and none of those who bent bows and arrows to participate in the arrangement of the formation fell, and all died in the hands of Huaiyu and his party.
There was a slight click, and what I saw collapsed.
The dazzling white light lit up, and Shen Yan had to put his hands in front of his eyes.
When everything calmed down, she found that she was still in that forest, and the sky was already a little white, and it was almost bright.
The cold liquid slid down his cheeks, and when he raised his hand to wipe it, he realized that it was all tears.
At this moment, a cold voice sounded behind him.
"Miss Shen. ”
Jinxiu's voice came, and Shen Yan looked back and saw him and Red Peony walking out of the forest.
Seeing her, Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I can be regarded as finding you." ”
Shen Yan hurriedly touched the tears on his face, and looked at the two of them: "Young City Lord, Hong Gongzi, you just disappeared by my side, didn't you encounter any danger, right?"
Hearing this, the red peony who was about to taunt her for a few words paused slightly: "You said we disappeared by your side?"
Shen Yan nodded and said, "Just now, when the sword was over, you and the young city lord disappeared one after another by my side. I saw a burning cloud appear in the sky, and my spiritual power was blocked for some reason, and then I came here. ”
Red Peony didn't speak, but Jinxiu said: "When Edgeworth was looking for a way out before, Miss Shen suddenly changed direction and came all the way to this side, and I and the Lord of the Red Mansion chased after me. But on the way, I met a female Lolin, so I was delayed for some time. ”
Shen Yan was slightly surprised: "This, how can this be like this.......?
Seeing the expressions of the two, Shen Yan knew that they should not be lying. What will happen to you?
Seeing her like this, Jinxiu said, "Miss Shen doesn't have to be too anxious. On the way here, we noticed that there seemed to be something here that would create illusions. Maybe it was because Miss Shen inadvertently fell into the Tao. ”
"Then, what now?" Shen Yan asked, suddenly remembering the scenes he had seen earlier. Did those things happen, or was it just a fantasy created by someone?
Jinxiu looked up at the sky and said, "Now, it's about time to leave the illusion here first." ”
"What?" Shen Yan's eyes widened and he looked around, but he didn't realize that the place he was in now was actually made of illusions.
Jinxiu explained: "We wasted some time because we encountered a female lorine blocking the way, and because of this, we lost the trace of the goddess girl, so we explored this forest. As a result, I found that no matter how far I went, I was still spinning in this forest. If it weren't for the sudden change in her breath on Miss Shen's side, I'm afraid that I and the Lord of the Red Mansion would still be trapped there and wouldn't be able to get out. I originally thought that there would be some kind of formation that trapped us, but I didn't find any trace of the existence of the formation, and other than that, only the illusion could do this. ”
Shen Yan pursed his lips, and after listening to him, he said in a low voice: "But if you want to break the illusion, it is much more difficult than breaking the formation." ”
Jinxiu said: "No matter how difficult it is, we can't stay here forever. ”
Shen Yan didn't speak, she thought about it for a long time, and still told Jinxiu and Red Peony about the things she had just seen.
By that time, it was already dawn. The morning sun rises from the east, but it has not yet reached the sky, but it is not much different.
After listening to Shen Yan's unknown past, Jinxiu fell into deep thought, and Red Peony sneered, with a mockery that could not be concealed: "The people of this world originally did everything for their own interests. ”
Jinxiu didn't say anything about this matter, and changed the subject and said, "In that case, the key to leaving this illusion is related to ancient times?"
"Huh?" Shen Yan didn't expect him to say this, slightly surprised and surprised, and then frowned and said, "However, so long has passed since the ancient times, even if it is related, there is no way to talk about it." ”
Red Peony took a few steps forward, looked at the lake and said, "It doesn't have to be related to ancient things, but it must be related to the Bright Moon Goddess." ”
"Something to do with the goddess?" Shen Yan muttered, subconsciously thinking of Cangming.
If his speculation was true, and this other world was created by Cangming, then what did he mean by leaving this illusion behind? just to let her or others know what had happened?
However, it doesn't have to be vicissitudes. At that time, in the mausoleum of the emperor, in addition to himself and his ancestor Bai Zhi, Huaiyu was also alive. If the things here are not Cangming's doing, then it must be inseparable from Huaiyu. It can be seen from the illusion just now that Huaiyu is not really a human being, but from the divine realm. His attitude towards Cangming and the goddess Cangyue is very respectful and loyal, that is, his status in the divine realm should not be as good as that of Cangming. But since it is a god, it is not a big problem to create a different space, it is just whether this created space can evolve into a complete world and the difference between large and small areas in space.
Shen Yan thought so, and in connection with what he had seen and heard along the way, he felt more and more that the place where they were now was more likely to be done by Huaiyu.
And what Huaiyu cares about most is that the goddess has done a lot for mankind, but in the end she has been sealed and even slandered as a demon.
Shen Yan didn't know much about Huaiyu, and what he knew so far obviously didn't help them much to get out of the illusion.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but show a little wry smile.
None of the three of them could come up with a feasible way for a while, but it was not good to just stand like this, so they went separately to find clues.
When Shen Yan was separated from Jinxiu and them again, she was a little absent-minded because of the speculation in her heart, and she gradually walked to the lake, and she didn't notice for a while that half of her foot had stepped on the lake. Then she found that the sparkling water did not change at all when she stepped on it, but she seemed to be stepping on the ground.
She hesitated and stood on the surface of the lake, not surprisingly, the water surface was still the same sparkling and rippling appearance, but she stood firmly on it without any traces of water.
"Young City Lord, Red Prince, come and take a look. ”
Shen Yan stood on top of the lake and beckoned Jinxiu and the red peony in the distance.
"The water of this lake ....... It turned out to be all fake. Jinxiu squatted down and fished out a handful, but it was directly as if he had touched the mirror. But as long as you don't touch it, no matter how far you look at it from a distance, the lake water is no different from ordinary lake water. That's why they hadn't noticed anything unusual about the lake before.
The red peony also stepped on the water, looked around and said, "The way to get out, will it be in this lake?" He and Jinxiu searched in the forest for a long time and didn't see anything different, but this lake violated common sense.
"Yes or no, just take a closer look. Jinxiu pursed her lips and stood up and stepped onto the water herself.
Unexpectedly, the feet suddenly began to shake violently, so that all three of them shook with the shaking of the ground, and it was difficult to stand firmly.
With a soft click, the three of them saw that the forest on the shore suddenly turned into a piece of star sand and disappeared, and the originally stable lake surface under their feet seemed to be cracked by a mirror, and wisps of lines suddenly appeared, spreading like spiders.
Shen Yan originally wanted to say that the imperial sword would rise into the air, but before the words could be spoken, the whole person seemed to be pulled by something, and fell straight down.
There was a sudden flow of water in all directions, and Shen Yan didn't know what happened to Jinxiu and Red Peony, and then he found that the blockage of spiritual power had happened again. The feeling of suffocation is like a shadow, but she is not good at swimming, so she can only flutter in the water.
Someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her deeper.
Shen Yan was still struggling hard, but in the end she gradually lost her strength, and as the light became darker and darker, she also felt that her consciousness was becoming more and more blurred.
My body was sinking all the time, and it didn't feel good to be pressed by the water.
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
