Chapter Ninety-Six: It's Hard to Tell the Truth from the False

"The subordinates don't dare!" Meng Ze hurriedly lowered his head and explained, "The chief manager Mingjian, the subordinates just don't want any more damage to Jiuyou. ”

The white-haired man snorted in confusion.

Meng Ze's expression was extremely embarrassed, and he hesitated for a while and said, "I don't know if the chief manager can let his subordinates see the Hades King......"

"No!" The white-haired man flatly refused: "At this moment, the Hades King is cultivating to a critical juncture, not to mention you, even I can't just disturb it." He also seemed to realize that his tone was a little heavy, and reached out to pat Meng Ze's shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much. If he obediently takes the magic tendon, he will return it, if he dares to have other thoughts, our Jiuyou is not muddy. ”

"Could it be that the Grand Manager plans to take action himself?" Meng Ze raised his head, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

If the chief manager is willing to make a move, then their chances of victory are at least fifty percent higher. Although he hadn't seen this one with his own eyes, he had heard the previous Chenghuang inadvertently mention that this chief steward was not small, and even the Hades King was afraid of him. It's just that I don't know what the reason is, and I'm willing to be a general manager in Jiuyou.

The white-haired man snorted lightly and said disdainfully, "It's just a little demon demon, and it's not worth my shot." At this point, he turned his gaze to the girl who was squatting on the ground and didn't know what she was drawing, and said to himself, "But this is your chance." ”

"What?" Meng Ze obviously didn't hear too clearly.

"That's it, I still have some things to attend to. The white-haired man did not answer his words directly, but waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the depths of the lake.

"Congratulations to the chief manager!" Meng Ze smiled bitterly, and only sighed until the white-haired man's figure disappeared, and turned his hand to take out the Qiankun Mirror, intending to see the situation on Qu Ru's side.

But when Qu Ru's picture really appeared on the Qiankun mirror, his brows furrowed tightly, "Why did you come back so quickly?

It was not only Qu Ru who appeared in the picture, but a large group of Wuyang, looking at the direction of Jiuyou. The one who flew in the center and the front was none other than the bird demon Qu Ru, who went to the underworld to move allies. At this moment, her face was full of gloom, and she was talking and laughing with a fair-faced young man next to her, and she seemed to get along very happily. Behind the two of them were the Yin soldiers of the underworld, each with a weapon, obviously prepared.

It stands to reason that he should be happy to have so many helpers, but Meng Ze's face was full of worries, and he pulled out the picture in the mirror, roughly estimated the distance, and then put away the Qiankun mirror and walked back and forth.

Things were going too well, and it made him feel uneasy. He knows the group of people in the underworld too well, and they have always pushed and avoided if they can push and avoid, and everything is focused on preserving their own strength. Although he also participated in the matter of sealing the Nightmare Demon back then, it was only limited to participation, and only the Nine Netherworld Mansion really suffered heavy losses. Therefore, they can take the initiative to come to help this time, if there is no cat in it, he doesn't believe it, but unfortunately he can't tell all this to the Hades for the time being, so he has to touch the bottom of the other party first.

Meng Ze took a few steps and stopped, turning to look around, as if looking for something. But when you look up, you can only see yellow sand, let alone people, and there is not even a dirt bag.

"It's strange, it's obviously behind me, could it be that you lost it?"

He thought about it, but decided to solve the matter in front of him first, and as for the female ghost, let's talk about it later. Having made up his mind, he stepped down the stairs without looking back.

And the female ghost who was 'abandoned' by him is seriously drawing a strange picture at the moment. There were no people, no buildings, just symbols that she could only understand.

Tang Zixi looked at the patterns on the ground for a while, and then looked at the pavilions on the opposite side, his expression was serious and focused, and he didn't notice that there was already an extra person beside him.

The white-haired man was quietly hovering beside her like that, with a complicated look in his eyes.

The wind was blowing, and the wind that came from nowhere lifted the corners of his clothes, ruffled her hair, and blew the dry leaves of the dead grass on the ground, and staggered away into the distance.

Just when he stretched out his hand to remove the grass stalks from the other party's hair, a scene that surprised him appeared.

The girl, who was already frowning, suddenly stood up, rushed directly to a dead tree, and kicked it without hesitation. With the strength of her kick, I am afraid that such a small dead tree will not be kicked directly.

But the truth is so unexpected, at the moment when the soles of the feet touched the body, the dead tree suddenly moved, not only avoiding this foot, but also turning the branch to the girl who continued to raise her foot and kick.

"You've lost!" Tang Zixi saw that the blow worked, raised his eyebrows proudly, laughed and retreated sharply.

The dead tree let out a scream, and finally realized that he had been tricked, and with a pop jumped out of the dirt and into the cave next to it.

"Stop!"

Tang Zixi suddenly stopped chasing after him, looking at the buildings in front of him that began to twist and change with a vigilant expression.

Soon, the expression on her face changed from wary to eccentric. She thought that the illusion that appeared this time must be some terrible monsters or terrifying places, but she never expected that the other party would actually make a city this time.

Looking at this layout, it is actually seven or eight points similar to Luoyang City. If the other party conjured up other places, she really didn't have any certainty, but she was too familiar with Luoyang City, and she could finish all the streets with her eyes closed, and she couldn't help but look down on the person who created the illusion in her heart.

After the time of a stick of incense, Miss Tang stood on the familiar street of Cheng'en Street, looking at the endless stream of pedestrians in front of her in a daze, completely lacking her previous confidence and pride.

Just now she turned the corner of the street, planning to go to the place where the Tang Mansion used to be located, when a small man named Huazi suddenly rushed out of the alley next to her, hugged her thigh and asked her what she wanted to eat, and she also took out some broken silver from her body and gave it to him. But when Hanako left, she reacted, this is not an ordinary illusion!

This discovery suddenly made her hands and feet cold, but she didn't expect that the reality mentioned by the abbot master and never appeared in the world was encountered by her.

Although illusions are called illusions, it does not mean that all illusions are illusory. Strictly speaking, it is actually divided into two types: virtual and real.

However, most of the illusions in the world are imaginary realms, and only imaginary realms are well-known to the world. It only takes a cool head, careful observation, and a different way of thinking to crack it. This unusual thinking is also the talent she understood before. For example, the 'Thousand Illusion Hall' of the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas is a concentration of all the different kinds of virtual realms in the world.

And in addition to the virtual realm, there is also an illusion, that is, the real realm. This kind of illusion rarely appears in the human world, because ordinary mortals can't create it at all, no matter how high the martial arts cultivation is, only the legendary heaven and earth spirit 'phantom' can. However, the phantom is only mentioned in some ancient records, and Tang Zixi has always thought that this is just a legend.

......

Smelling the smell of food wafting from her nose and listening to the sounds in her ears, she confessed to her chagrin that she had made a mistake, a very low-level but fatal mistake, which was to underestimate her opponent.

She didn't know what method the other party used to move the real Luoyang City here, or get her to Luoyang City, she only knew that if she couldn't break through the border, she would stay here forever.

Now that I think about it, the illusion that I had broken before was also unusual. It looks like a lot of flaws, but it's not. Whether it is the woman in purple who appears once more for no reason, or the young man in blue who can't avoid it, or the old man in gray who flies over the pillar at a different height every time, in fact, every one of them is a flaw, but none of them are flaws.

This may sound like a tongue-twisting statement, but this is precisely the genius of the illusion maker, hiding the real flaws in countless flaws, luring people into being fooled.

So, it's scary to think in a box. The more patterns you have in your mind and the more laws you have mastered, the easier it is to fall into the trap. Tang Zixi suffered from this, she thought that she could sit back and relax when she walked out of the 'Thousand Illusion Palace' that had collected the world's illusions, but in fact, this was the beginning of the real danger.

Moreover, the reason why she was able to discover the strangeness of the dead tree was a complete coincidence. Just when she was puzzled, she didn't know why a gust of wind suddenly blew, just blowing a dead grass stalk onto her hand. Only then did she suddenly remember that the dead tree that originally grew on the right hand side actually ran to the left side for no reason. She kicked the dead tree with the mentality of giving it a try, but she didn't expect the other party to be so easy to fall for the trick, which caused her to despise the enemy's mentality.

But today's Tang Zixi is no longer the Tang Zixi of the past, and in the face of failure and setbacks, he no longer thinks about escaping and giving up, but persevering in his attempts. It's like rushing, no matter how slow the speed is, no matter how ugly the posture is, you can't stop. If you don't stop, you won't succeed, but if you stop, you won't succeed.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, the uneasiness and worry in her eyes were gone, replaced by firmness that she had never felt before. After slightly identifying the direction, she raised her feet and walked towards the location of the Tang Mansion without hesitation.

As she got closer to the Tang Mansion, more and more people knew her. From time to time, there are vendors who excitedly run in front of her to sell snacks, and there are also enthusiastic restaurant juniors who beckon her to try new dishes, and even the aunt who sells vegetables has to stuff her with a handful of fresh and tender green vegetables. Of course, the most are the big girls and little daughters-in-law who avoid her. Originally, he walked well, but as soon as he saw her appear, he turned around and left, obviously afraid of this Third Young Master Tang. By the way, she also just discovered that her outfit had changed into the appearance of 'Tang San Gongzi', but her personal maid was missing behind her.

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but float a wry smile, this person who created illusions was really terrifying, even she couldn't tell the difference between falsehood and reality, I was afraid that she really met a 'phantom'. finally understood that it was not because she was more talented than others that she was able to come out smoothly back then, but because she didn't think about it in her heart back then.
