Chapter 15 The Choice Between Reality and Illusion
The stone brick was an ordinary stone brick, and the rain was also ordinary rainwater, and when the two touched, there was no reaction.
A wet stone brick, with some potholes but a smooth surface, with rainwater flowing downward, is a very common sight.
But Yu Qing's eyes were staring at it intently.
A drop of rain falls on the bricks, then slides down until they reach the end.
- The end of the stone bricks, against the edge of this heaven and earth.
The rain touches the edges and then disappears.
Lin Yuan discovered Yu Qing's abnormality, followed his gaze, and asked at the same time, "What's wrong, Senior Brother Yu?"
"Look at that stone brick. β
"See. β
"Look at the raindrops falling from above. β
"I saw it too. β
"And then?" asked Yu Qing with a hint of a smile.
"It'...... It's gone!"
So they got up and walked out of the city.
......
This space is the internal space of the listening platform, it is real, it has its own boundaries.
It's like a bowl buckled on the ground, the bowl has its own independent space, and the bowl is its boundary, and nothing in it can pass through the boundary unless it is strong enough to break the edge of the bowl.
The rain on the stone bricks naturally didn't have a strong force, so it should have turned around and continued to flow after colliding with the boundary of space, but it disappeared, disappearing so naturally.
What does this mean?
It means that outside the city wall, there is an extra space, and the rain flows out.
......
Yu Qing and Lin Yuan walked to the edge of the city wall, continued to take a step, and then they crossed out without hindrance.
There is still water on the land of the new space, which flows out of that space.
But the sky and the earth were clear, and there was not a single cloud in the blue sky, only a sun hanging in the distance.
Under the sky, there are many trees, some fruit trees, and some tall trees.
But this is not a primeval forest, because the trees do not grow densely, and not too far ahead, there is a hill on which you can see a small village.
Yu Qing and Lin Yuan Edgeworth flew towards the village, and to their surprise, they saw a flock of birds flying up from the distant woods in mid-air.
This point is not a long distance in an instant, and when it fell to the ground, Lin Yuan looked back behind him and said, "There are actually living beings?"
"I don't know if it's real or if it's a spiritual illusion. Yu Qingdao said.
"What is Elder Xing doing with all this?" Lin Yuan turned around and asked puzzled.
"Who knows. Anyway, let's go to this village first, maybe there are people. Yu Qing said with a grin.
But Lin Yuan's face suddenly became very pale.
Seeing this, Yu Qing was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"This space, it's definitely expensive. Lin Yuan said in a trembling tone.
Everyone knew that Elder Xing's listening platform was never free, although Lin Yuan did not ask for such a space, but afterwards, the account must still be settled by him.
Yu Qing laughed when she heard this, and strode forward.
......
The village is neither small nor small, with dozens of houses crisscrossed by paths that weave between them.
Yu Qing and Lin Yuan walked into the village along the path, and found that it was really as expected, there were people in this village, and there were hundreds of people.
Those are all kinds of people, there are young men, young women, middle-aged men, middle-aged women, but also children of all ages, old people.
They rushed out of every house, and in their hands they were armed with crude spears, or knives, or other weapons, and poured toward them.
Yu Qing stared at these people blankly, not knowing what was going on.
He could easily see that these people were all transformed by spiritual power, because their movements looked smooth, but they were actually stiff, and their eyes were empty, without any brilliance, and there was no trace of human breath in their entire bodies.
The question is, what does Elder Xing want to do? Do you want to use these people to stop them? But these people are ordinary people, how can they stop cultivators?
After a while, those people all crowded in front of Yu Qing and Lin Yuan, pointing the weapons in their hands at them.
One of the men with a spear said, "Who are you? What are you doing?"
"We are wayfinders. β
"What way?"
"The way out. β
The man stood stunned for a moment and said, "I know the way." β
"Oh?" Yu Qing and Lin Yuan glanced at each other, obviously this was an unexpected answer.
"Then can you tell us?" asked Yu Qing.
"Yes. Without hesitation, the man replied, "But you have to answer me a question first." β
"What's the problem?"
"Real or unreal, which is more important?"
"Of course, it's the real thing. β
"Do you know if we are real or illusory?" asked the man, blank and dumbfounded.
Yu Qing was silent, and said after a while: "It's illusory." β
The man nodded, obviously having eyes, but like a blind man, and said, "Yes, your answer is very true. β
"And what is the path I want?" asked Yu Qing.
"Don't worry, you still have a choice to make. The man said, "About the choice between the real and the unreal." β
"What do you mean?" Yu Qing frowned.
"Did you see any creatures outside the village when you came?"
Yu Qing's face was a little strange, and he said, "See, it's a flock of birds." β
"Not only birds, but also many animals. "They're all real beings." β
"Oh, so what are we going to choose?"
"The birds, and the beasts, are now going to eat us. β
"What?!"
......
"They're going to eat us, and they'll come in a moment. "You can choose the real and help them win, or you can stand by and watch, or you can choose the illusory and help us defend ourselves against the birds and beasts." β
Yu Qing opened his mouth to say something, but the man had already spoken again, "Here they are." β
Yu Qing and Lin Yuan turned their heads to look, only to see that under the clear sky, a large black cloud was rapidly pressing towards this side.
There was a strong wind under the black clouds, and the tall trees were blown and swayed wildly, as if they might break at any moment.
The black cloud is a flying bird, and the wind is the wind that flapps its wings.
"Roarβ"
The roar of an unknown beast came from afar, and then the earth began to tremble slightly.
......
Yu Qing and Lin Yuan's faces were a little pale, and their swords flew into the air, looking at the ground in the distance.
Countless beasts were galloping towards them, and the sound of thunder sounded as the huge beast hooves stepped on the ground.
In a short time, the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the ground rushed up the hill together and came to the front of the village.
Yu Qing and Lin Yuan originally wanted to cast a shield to protect these people, but as soon as the spiritual power was released, they found that the shield could not be formed at all.
So they watched the herd and crashed into the crowd.
