Chapter 123, Prosperous Phantom City

"Jiaohuang tears, what is that?" Ran asked puzzled.

Shi Yunyang said: "It should be the third soul key we are looking for - tears." ”

Ran Tianluo said curiously: "How can this be. In this way, the tears are really in Shanshan. I don't know exactly where the tears came from, but one thing is certain. Tears definitely have the effect of making people fall into a hallucination. ”

Ran Tianluo wondered: "Yun Yang, how do you know this, or do you have some memories recovered?"

Shi Yunyang shook his head and said helplessly: "This is another reason why I left you. Ran Tianluo was very sensitive to this matter, and when he heard Shi Yunyang say that there was something hidden, he came to his senses. Stand up and listen to Shi Yunyang explain the reason. As soon as I stood up, I felt a pain in the center of my foot like a knife. The body is back and forth. Fortunately, Shi Yunyang's eyes were quick and he helped her up.

Ran Tianluo asked, "What is the reason?"

Shi Yunyang paused for a long time, as if he was sorting out his thoughts, and after a few breaths, he said: "After saving you with beast blood in Gongyue City that day, I originally wanted to buy some things in Gongyue City to replenish your body. But in the middle of the desert is a wilderness. In Bow Moon Castle. I found out that there was a thorn grass growing on the desert boulder north of Bow Moon City, and its sap had a strong tonic effect. When I heard the news, I went to look for it. I didn't expect to meet the demons there. They seem to have their eyes on us for a long time. From their conversation, I knew that they were still staring at the Yuanli Ancient Sword in my hand, and they mentioned that the tears were in Shanshan. After hearing this news, I felt that it was too dangerous to be with you again, so I deliberately attracted their attention, and went to Shanshan alone, on the one hand, to distract them, and on the other hand, to find out the news of the tears. ”

Ran Tianluo nodded and muttered, "So that's the case, it's a demon again." ”

Shi Yunyang said: "When I came to Shanshan, I found that all the people in the city had fallen into a deep sleep. Presumably under the influence of tears, I spent two nights in the city. Only then did I know that the city was not the same during the day and at night. And at night, the city turned out to be an illusion made of the power of dreams. ”

Luo Xiaocheng wrapped his hands around and said, "Regarding this Jiaohuang tears, which is what you call tears, I know some of its origins. This merman tears are the treasure of the merman family, and it is said that in the depths of the South China Sea, there is a group of half-human and half-fish mermaids. The mermaid is born very beautiful, the woman is stunning, and the man is handsome. But it's not common in the world. Legend has it that in the ancient world, the merman race is also a force to be reckoned with among the ten races. However, at that time, the saber-toothed tiger clan regarded the mermaid tribe as food and brutally hunted the merman. and even buy and sell them for breeding.

The Shark Emperor was helpless, and the combat power of the Shark Race ranked extremely low among the ten races in the Human World. I had to seek refuge from the other eight tribes. Who knew that the other tribes were unwilling to get involved in the war between the merman and the saber-toothed tiger, and they shirked it one after another. Only the Emperor Xuanyuan of the Human Realm was willing to help the Shark Emperor. At that time, the Terrans were supposed to be the weakest of the ten races. They are often bullied by other races. The weak are more sympathetic to the helplessness of the weak. At this time, the two clans united to resist the strong enemy. The days are getting longer. Xuanyuan and Emperor Shark secretly fell in love, and the two sides became husband and wife. The Shark Emperor also gave the name of a human race, called the ancestor.

The merman is ingenious and very good at handicraft, especially good at weaving. The ancestor taught the Terran to make clothes and weave cloth. It is widely praised among the Terrans. However, the lifespan of the merman is 900 years old, and the lifespan of a human being is only a few decades. When Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor Immortal went, the ancestor was in pain, leaving the only tear in his life, and died of martyrdom. The merman can cry beads, and these tears are the tears of the Jiaohuang Emperor. Jiaohuang tears entrust the ancestor of the shark emperor to Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor's thoughts, so it has a powerful illusion function. ”

After hearing what Luo Xiaocheng said, Han Lun was already stunned, and sighed: "It turns out that the ancestor recorded in the history books taught weaving, and he is one of the greatest ancestors of the human race. Unexpectedly, the ancestor was not a human. ”

Shi Yunyang said: "The records of history are just the records of the past by the people of the time, and there is no way to verify whether they are true or not. However, I also know some of these ancient things, and there should be nothing wrong with it. ”

Han Lun turned his face away disdainfully and said, "Hey, after the fact, Zhuge is boring." ”

Luo Xiaocheng said: "Okay, the sun has set now, we are about to enter the Phantom City, everyone should be careful." This is the royal palace, and it is inconvenient for us to stay in such a conspicuous place for long, so let's go out and see this phantom city first. If you are caught by the Loulan soldiers in your dreams in this palace, you won't be able to row. ”

The other three nodded, Ran Tianluo couldn't walk now, Shi Yunyang still held her in his arms, and walked out of the door quickly, Ran Tianluo was hugged by Shi Yunyang, only feeling extremely safe, like finding a home after drifting, this sense of security made Ran Tianluo's whole body relax, she buried her head in Shi Yunyang's chest, the city was about to fall into illusion, only the taste of Shi Yunyang's body and the strong heartbeat were the most real.

The three of them left the palace only to see that the last ray of light of the remnant sun also fell, and the ground was pitch black. I can't see my fingers. The four of them all sacrificed the shimmers of spiritual power of different colors in their hands. In this dark night, I am looking for a way forward.

After a while, I saw that the surrounding night began to flow like ink, quickly rolling into a huge whirlpool, swallowing the surrounding qiē. The four of them saw that something seemed to be floating in the whirlpool, and when they looked closely, they found that it looked like a small light source. The four of them stopped, only to find that the light source was getting bigger and bigger. Finally, a burst of bright light enveloped all four of them.

When the four of them opened their eyes, they found themselves in the middle of a bustling city. It's crowded with people. There was a lot of shouting. There are pearls and jade, agate and jade. All kinds of mulberry pings are dizzying. There are merchants from all over the world, with different costumes, and this is a big world that gathers all over the world. Every street corner and alley was full of exquisite goods, and the four of them saw that this city was a lifeless mud city during the day. And in this phantom city, it turned out to be such a prosperous scene.

It is no wonder that the mud city is the royal city of Shanshan, which is the throat of the economic artery of the East and the West. The North-South Silk Road diverged from here, so it was a meeting point between East and West. Naturally, the economy and trade are very developed. Historically, the prosperity of Loulan City was almost able to reach unimaginable heights. It's just that the terrain here is remote, and it is located in the wilderness, and Loulan has the intention to expand its territory, but it is not enough troops. Instead, they are relegated to survive in the gap between the great powers. Despite this, no one dares to underestimate Loulan's economic strength. Someone once said that Loulan's wealth can be aggregated to at least half of the entire Western Regions. This statement is too exaggerated, but it can still see how prosperous Loulan City is.

Shi Yunyang and his entourage shuttled through the crowd, although this was an illusion, it was so real. Pedestrians accidentally hit their shoulders, and they can feel it clearly when they touch the pedestrian's clothes. The four of them were walking when they suddenly heard the vendor's shouting.

"Four guests from the kingdom, would you like to buy some clay sculptures from the mud city? The girl in this guest's arms is so beautiful, it should be accompanied by a hibiscus flower from our mud city, it will be even more beautiful. The prices of the things I have here are all cheap, so it's good to buy one as a token. A businesswoman greeted the four. Her words were moving, if it weren't for the illusion, Shi Yunyang really couldn't find a reason not to buy this hibiscus flower. It's just that everything here is a mirror and can't be taken seriously. Even if Ran Tianluo is looking forward to it, he can't buy it.

Shi Yunyang said: "No, there is something else. With that, he hugged Ran Tianluo and walked away. Ran Tianluo was hugged by Shi Yunyang in such a crowded place, and for a while all the pedestrians turned their eyes to them. Ran Qianluo's face burned crimson, and said, "Yun Yang, my feet are almost fine, you can let me down." There are a lot of people here, and it's not convenient to carry me around. ”

Shi Yunyang nodded, put Ran Tianluo down, Ran Tianluo slammed to the ground, and the corner of her mouth sucked a trace of coolness, but this pain was forcibly endured by her. didn't show any on his face, but walked slightly in front of Shi Yunyang.

How could Shi Yunyang not know her thoughts, but he didn't break it, shook his head, smiled slightly, and followed.

Seeing such a bustling street scene, compared to the cold and sleeping scene, for a moment, Ran Tianluo would rather this be the truth. That's the truth.

Truth and falsehood are often just a matter of thought. In fact, a lot of things happen in a single thought. Life and death, love and hate, abandonment and care. A single thought can determine whether a person is on the right path or the wrong path.

Shi Yun said to everyone: "Everyone be careful, we have entered this Phantom City with our real identities, and the dreamers must know that we have broken in at this time, or it won't be long before someone comes to look for us." At that time, the situation may be very sudden, so everyone should take precautions. "

Everyone nodded, and Ran Tianluo said, "Where are we going now?"

Shi Yunyang said: "The City of Memories is illusory, but it cannot be formed by itself. It still depends on human control. Therefore, we need to find out who is in charge of this phantom city and defeat it. Illusions can be removed. "

Luo Xiaocheng said: "How can it be so easy, we are now falling into someone else's dream, and every move is under the surveillance of the manipulator, and it is very difficult to find that person." "

Han Lun said, "Is there no way?"

Shi Yunyang raised his head and looked at the sky not far away, where the sun was like the illusory sunlight seen before sunset. His face changed dramatically, and he said:

"It's too late, be careful, everyone!"

After hearing this, the four of them all took out their blades and concentrated on responding.

I saw that the sky suddenly opened up a burst of energy like water waves. The energy that spread out suddenly turned into a fire in the sky, falling like rain......
