Chapter 53: Choice
Seeing that the meal had arrived, Meng Fuyao, as the hostess, got up and prepared to go to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
In normal times, Red Peony is naturally reluctant to let his wife work so hard, but recently he did not stop her, but smiled and said that he would treat his wife and sister well.
Meng Fuyao did not doubt that he had him, said goodbye to Shen Yan and left.
After she left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze. Red Peony looked at Shen Yan coldly and asked, "Who are you?"
Shen Yanyuan didn't think that he could successfully deceive the red peony, but he knew very well that if he came up directly like this, he would want to tell the truth, but he was afraid that the red peony would do it first before he said it.
Meng Fuyao already believed her, and Red Peony would not easily do it to her. Speaking of it at this time, he told the story of the incident without any concealment.
She thought that even if Red Peony would believe it, she would not believe what she said so easily, but she didn't expect that as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Red Peony fall into deep thought.
"I thought something was wrong, but I never realized what was wrong. After being silent for a long time, Red Peony spoke: "Now that I hear you say this, I understand." β
Someone modified their memory, and it did so seamlessly.
Here, whether it is Red Peony, Meng Fuyao, or other villagers, they all have a reasonable origin about themselves in their minds. For example, in the memory of Red Peony, he was a person who was tired of the officialdom of the court, and finally chose to live in seclusion here, but Meng Fuyao was an orphan girl who lost her memory because she was injured. And the reason why none of them doubted this memory was that these compiled experiences were completely in line with their own personalities.
Red Peony is not a person with a good personality, and the aura around her body is cold and scary at this moment.
Shen Yan saw that the agreed time had arrived, and after hesitatingly speaking, he released the golden lotus arrow.
Jinxiu came much faster than expected, and there was no surprise after seeing the situation in this village.
The three of them sat down again, and Jinxiu asked directly, "I don't know what the Lord of the Red Mansion plans now?"
When he asked, Red Peony fell silent.
Shen Yanyuan didn't know why, but he quickly reacted that Red Peony might be reluctant to live in this village.
Here, he is just an ordinary person, and he has a wife who has no other worries except what to eat every day. Even though there is still a clear cognition in the court, there is no memory of the terrible experience of the red peony.
There are about two kinds of people in this world, one is yearning for fame and fortune, and Ji Ji has been working hard for this goal all his life. The other is just willing to live peacefully. Perhaps the former type of people are the majority, but the red peony is definitely not one of them.
"Is there a way for the young city lord to make me remember the past again?"
Jinxiu hooked her lips and said, "I don't have a way, but there must be someone in Yunfu Heavenly City who has a way." I just don't know, has the Lord of the Red Mansion made up his mind?"
Red Peony snorted lightly and said, "Of course, a peaceful and peaceful life makes me nostalgic, but false things are always false. β
Jinxiu said: "Then let's find a way to get out of here first." β
Shen Yan was stunned and asked, "Can't we leave now?"
Jinxiu said: "Of course not. You can't get in or out of this place. Miss Shen should have noticed that the passage we came in had disappeared by the time we stepped into the land here. β
"Huh?" Shen Yan thought about it carefully, but found that this was indeed the case, but at that time, she didn't expect that the disappearance of the passage was not hidden, but really disappeared. "So what should we do now?" she asked, thinking about the solution.
But since the disappearance of the trace of the goddess Mingyue, or Cangyue, there has been no god on this continent. Little is known about the power of the gods, and there may be some records among the cultivators, but they are not very detailed. Even in the Tibetan building on Guguan Mountain, there are very few descriptions of gods.
Jinxiu said: "There is no absolute in everything, since there is a way to get in, there must be a way to get out." Next, why don't you tell other people what happened? If you want to find a way out, you can have more people and save more time. β
Red Peony nodded: "I'll just say it." "He's been here for so long, and the people here are quite convinced of him.
Jinxiu said: "Then there is the owner of the Lao Building." β
Shen Yan said beside him: "I'll go and help too." β
Jinxiu shook her head: "Just let the owner of the Red Mansion go to this matter, Miss Shen, you and I have other things to do." β
"Anything else?"
Shen Yan was puzzled, but Jinxiu didn't plan to explain at this time.
After lunch at Red Peony, Jinxiu took Shen Yan to the southern forest.
They finally stopped in front of a cliff with an abyss below it and a mountain range hidden by clouds and mist on the opposite side.
"I've been here before, and I noticed that the aura here seems to be a little different from other places. As she spoke, she picked up a stone under her feet and threw it into the abyss.
With the cultivators' ears, they should have heard the sound of the stone falling, but the sound became more and more faint and finally disappeared. It's not that the stone stops abruptly at the end, but that the stone continues to fall, but because the height is too high, it can't be heard clearly at all when it comes to the back.
"I originally wanted to go to the other side to have a look, but the appointed time has arrived, and I also received a signal from Miss Shen and turned back to look for you, but I didn't really go to the other side to see. β
Jinxiu said this, his eyes always looking at the mountains across the endless abyss. Shen Yan couldn't help but say, "Is the young city lord planning to go over now?"
"Yes. Jinxiu nodded, and said, "But if you want to trouble Miss Shen to watch here, I don't know what the situation is on the other side." If there is any accident, please ask Miss Shen to go to find the owner of the Red Mansion. β
Seeing Jinxiu's serious expression, Shen Yan couldn't help but feel guilty: "In that case, why does the young city lord have to go to ......?"
"I've looked at all the other places around here, and I haven't found any clues. Only here may be that there will be progress. β
Since Jinxiu said so, Shen Yan didn't want to say anything, nodded and stood on the edge of the high cliff and watched him suddenly turn into a sword light and disappear in front of him.
The clouds and mist that covered the opposite mountain range seemed to be much thicker, and I could probably see some of the scenery on the opposite side, but now I could only vaguely see the undulating mountain line.
Shen Yan originally thought that Jinxiu would wait too long, but he would never think that the time would be too short, but he didn't expect that before half an hour, the other party had already flown out of the mountain range on the other side of the abyss and stood firmly on the platform on this cliff.
Seeing this, she also breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped forward to ask, "What did the young city lord find?"
Jinxiu said: "There is another passage on the other side, maybe you can leave this other space. But I'm not sure where I'm going to be when I get out. β
Not sure where it will be, that is to say that it is possible to say anywhere. If it's still on the other side of the continent, it's okay, but if they accidentally go to the Central Continent and want to return to the other side with their cultivation, it's not a big problem, the only thing to worry about is whether they will go out and go to the Arctic Ice Field, the base camp of the demon clan.
Counting the people in this today, the only ones who can fight are Jinxiu, Shen Yan and Red Peony, and others may also have some small spells, but if they are really unlucky and fall into the base camp of the demon clan, I am afraid that they will not even have the slightest power to resist.
It is precisely because of this thought that Jinxiu's expression is a little unsightly.
Shen Yan pursed his lips and said, "Since that's the case, why don't you find another way out?"
Jinxiu shook his head: "The demonic energy in Wuyang City is getting stronger and stronger, and we can't afford to waste more time." Either way, you can only gamble. Let's go back to the village and talk to the owner of the Red Mansion about the things here. β
Shen Yan naturally had no objections, so the two of them didn't stay here long and turned around and went back to the village.
It was already completely dark.
Meng Fuyao was urged to rest early, but Red Peony was still sitting in the living room with Jinxiu and Shen Yan. He held a small teacup in his hand but never brought it to his mouth, just slowly turned the cup.
This is an action he often does when he is thinking, and this action is only after Jinxiu has finished talking about the disadvantages of the passage he is looking for today, so it is not difficult to guess what is worrying him.
Jinxiu and Shen Yan didn't care about the chance that they would be in the Arctic Ice Plain after they went out, and Red Peony would definitely not care if he was alone. However, with Meng Fuyao by his side, he can't ignore this.
In this world, it's just that your own memories and experiences are false, but you don't encounter any danger. And if he agrees with Jinxiu and chooses to go out through the passage he saw today, his life may be in danger.
"There's a whole lot going on out there and there's no way we're going to stay here longer. Now that we have found a way out, we will leave early tomorrow morning. The location has also been told to the owner of the Red Mansion, if the landlord thinks about it clearly, he will go together tomorrow. β
Jinxiu didn't urge the red peony, but the words that came out of his mouth did not leave any leeway.
When she left the living room, Red Peony was still sitting there alone.
Shen Yan asked with some hesitation, "Young City Lord, will the Red Master leave here with us?"
"Yes. Jinxiu said with certainty, "Since he is not willing to stay here and enjoy happiness through false memories, he will definitely choose to leave this other space." And leaving with us is the best option. β
"Why?"
"The owner of the Red Mansion doesn't care alone, but with Miss Meng following, naturally the stronger his own strength, the safer he is. β
The room arranged by Meng Fuyao for Shen Yan had arrived, and she stopped in front of the door and watched Jinxiu leave, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she still didn't say it.
Jinxiu paused slightly before turning the corner, and looked back and said, "Miss Shen, don't think too much, recuperate well, no one can predict what will happen tomorrow." Therefore, it is necessary to be in top shape at all times. β
After he finished speaking, he chuckled, and without waiting for Shen Yan's response, he walked around the corner and disappeared.
In place, Shen Yan sighed softly.
And just as Xiu said now, Red Peony finally chose to leave with them. In addition to this, there are other "villagers" as well.
There were too many people, only Shen Yan and a few of them couldn't bring them, so Jinxiu simply took out the magic weapon that could load living things, and directly included these people in the magic weapon.
Red Peony originally planned to take Meng Fuyao with her, but later changed her attention and let her also enter the magic weapon together.
No one was curious about the reason for his change of mind, but Shen Yan guessed that he might be afraid that there would be some danger and he would not be able to take care of Meng Fuyao.
Following Jinxiu to the mountain on the opposite side of the high cliff, Shen Yan found that the scenery around him had changed suddenly.
Jinxiu walked in the front, and as she walked, she explained to Shen Yan and Red Peony: "The opposite side is the periphery of the different space, and here is the center. Be careful here, because the owner who created this space only needs a single thought to kill us here. β
When Shen Yan heard this, he couldn't help but grow his mouth in surprise. Red Peony doesn't seem surprised.
"It's like it's a dead place where there's no life again. Shen Yan looked around and said like this.
Jinxiu said: "The people who created this different space may just want to find a place to trap the Red Mansion Lord, so the rules here have not yet fully evolved. It's a shackle, but it's also an opportunity for us to get out. β
Red Peony raised her eyebrows: "What do you say?"
"Ever since Miss Shen and I came here, we haven't felt any movement from the owner of the space. I guess he either knows about it but doesn't think it matters, or he's confident that no one in it can get out, so he doesn't care about it. Whichever guess is correct, as long as we're fast enough to get out before the other person makes a move, nothing will happen. β
"But if it's discovered......"
Jin Xiu didn't say anything more about the rest of the words. It wasn't that he stopped, but because his figure disappeared.
"Young City Lordβ" Shen Yan called out before he saw the red peony on his side disappear with him. "It looks like it's going to separate people here. β
With this in mind, she harnessed the flying sword and continued to walk like the front.
From the moment he entered this place, Shen Yan found that he seemed to be able to keep walking forward without turning back. This saves you the trouble of finding your own way.
