"It is recorded in the classics that people in ancient times were born with magical pupils that could discern yin and yang, break through the sky, recognize the past and the present, and see into the future. The previous visions of the ghostly eyes were imitating the gods. And this stone man is now The true ancient god. His power has not yet been exhausted, so he presents the eternal years that he has seen. Although it is an illusion, it was once real, and you are in the wild..."
Yu Ye still stood there, with his eyes slightly closed and a tired look on his face, as if he had been addicted to an illusion and had not yet woken up.
Chi Li walked up to him and looked into the stone man's eyes while looking him up and down.
"...The way you looked just now was just like Zongmu..."
Chi Li shook his head repeatedly and said: "When you discovered Shimen, you were already a little weird. When you saw through Gui Mandrill's deception and the illusion just now, I suddenly remembered the records about the gods. Gui Mandrill's bulging eyes were astonishing. The eyes of this stone man are exactly the legendary Zongmu Divine Eyes. You, a junior at the fifth level of the Golden Core, are extremely talented..."
Yu Ye suddenly woke up like a dream and said, "What's wrong with me?"
"Your eyes..."
"A little discomfort is no problem."
"I mean the gods are in control..."
Chi Li stretched out his hand to gesture with an eager expression.
Yu Ye said blankly: "Oh, I am a god..."
"snort!"
Chi Li waved his sleeves and said: "If you are a god, we will be gods!"
Although he noticed something different in Yu Ye's eyes, he didn't see the situation clearly. Seeing that the other party was confused and confused, he thought it was because he was too suspicious and had to give up. Wen Gui and Lai Mian came closer and heard their conversation. They also thought it was ridiculous. How could they consider themselves gods?
"Everyone!"
Wen Gui reminded: "You and I have worked hard to find it just to return to Tianshen Temple, but at this moment, where is the way to go?"
Everyone looked around.
In the empty place, there was nothing except a stone man and a stone cliff protruding into the sky.
Yu Ye looked up again.
The stone man is also carved from white jade, about eight to nine feet tall, with a tall and thick body, just like another mountain peak, standing quietly on the top of the mountain. Especially his protruding eyes, which seem to see all the joys and sorrows in the world, are actually filled with inexplicable solemnity and sadness. And his sadness was mixed with a bit of perseverance, a bit of arrogance, a bit of evil charm and a bit of pity.
Yu Ye's eyes were a little dazed.
The ancient wilderness once again appeared in front of his eyes, witnessing the heroic and passionate competition of all things, and he followed the seeker out of the mountains, became a god and man, subdued dragons and tigers, fought against heaven and earth, trapped demons and monsters, and ran into the distance with like-minded people. And the wonderland that once was has not appeared again...
There was a hint of confusion in Yu Ye's eyes.
The two visions I saw before and after were roughly similar. The former should have created a false paradise due to the mandrills, while the latter may be the real situation, and has the god found his pure land of fairyland...
"Junior Brother Yu——"
Then Wen Gui shouted: "Has Yuan Han from Yuanjia Village told me how to find the road to heaven?"
Yu Ye calmed down and shook his head.
"Oh, we don't have the power to reach heaven, and we wanted to return to Yanzhou, but now we are trapped here. Junior Brother Yu, couldn't you have been deceived by a group of mountain people?"
There was a clear view from the top of the peak, and nothing was found. While Wen Gui was complaining, Chi Li, Lai Mian and others were also wandering around.
Two middle-aged monks walked toward the cliff on one side of the peak and then hurriedly retreated. The cliff stretches for more than ten feet in the air, and is just a protruding stone. But once you get close, the wind and clouds will hit your face, which makes people feel frightened.
Yu Ye glanced back and looked at the stone man again.
The stone man's eyes happened to be pointed at the cliff stone. And the illusory figure that appeared before also disappeared on the side of the cliff?
Yu Ye turned around and walked over.
Wen Gui, Chi Li, Lai Mian and others gathered around.
"Could this stone hide a secret?"
"I've checked several times and there's nothing wrong?"
"And the many figures I saw before ascended to the sky from this."
"Well, if fellow literary fellows follow a few examples, we may be able to reach the sky in one step!"
"Master Chimen, please go first!"
"Hmph, what I saw before may be a enchantment spell, how can I take it seriously!"
Wen Gui and Chi Li were still arguing, but Lai Mian's words made them silent.
For all to see, many illusory figures disappeared into the clouds and mist along the cliffs. At first sight, it is really fascinating. And the illusion is an illusion after all, and no one dares to imitate it, otherwise they will fall to pieces if they slip on the top of the mountain.
Wen Gui was suddenly surprised——
"Junior Brother Yu..."
At this moment, someone suddenly walked forward.
It was Yu Ye, and his right foot had lightly stepped on the cliff stone.
Wen Gui quickly closed his mouth.
Chi Li, Lai Mian and others also widened their eyes.
At this moment, perhaps everyone has the same mind. If anyone else sacrifices his life to find a way out, of course we will wait and see.
Yu Ye paused and slowly turned around. His eyes swept over the crowd and looked at the stone man dozens of feet away. The figure of the stone man looked tall and distant, as if they were thousands of years apart, but his bulging eyes penetrated the heaven, earth and long years, looking at him from afar and silently with an expression of inexplicable expectation.
At the same time, an old voice echoed in the sea of consciousness: Let the morning flowers fall, the wind rise and the clouds disperse, a single thought of life and death can last for thousands of years. And if the gods step into the sky, mountains will still be mountains, and people will still be people...
Yu Ye turned around and stepped on the cliff stone.
Those confusing words came from a deaf and blinded old wizard in Yuanjia Village. I couldn't understand them at the time, but now I suddenly had an epiphany.
What the old man was talking about might be the various experiences he had in the wild at Tianshen Mountain, and told him that the gods had gone far away, but the mountains that stood tall were still the same, and the people who were struggling to survive were also the same as before. Is he indulging in the illusion, sitting helplessly watching the morning flowers fall at dusk, or is he looking to the sky and asking, sacrificing his life, with life and death depending on his thoughts, and tens of thousands of years are only a step away from him?
A gust of wind and clouds rolled over my face, and my sleeves and hem made a "pop-pop" sound.
Yu Ye's heart froze.
He was already standing on the cliff, hanging in the air left and right, with an abyss under his feet, wind and clouds rolling in front of him, and a vast void. And if he loses his footing and falls off the cliff, he will lose more than just ten thousand years of Tianshen Mountain.
Yu Ye did not hesitate, nor did he look back. A white light flashed in his eyes, and he decisively raised his feet and stepped forward into nothingness...
Wen Gui, Chi Li, Lai Mian and others were still waiting and watching, when they suddenly saw Yu Ye's feet in the air. Some people were sorry, some were surprised, and some were looking forward to it. However, in the second thought, everyone's eyes widened again.
Just when Yu Ye was in the air, a golden light suddenly flashed under his feet, and it instantly enveloped him through the wind and clouds, reaching the end of nothingness...
"Junior Brother Yu, I heard that it's deserted outside, so I'm here to accompany you——"
Wen Gui shouted and jumped onto the cliff without hesitation.
The monks from all the families looked happy and scrambled to move forward, resulting in chaos.
Chi Li also looked like he was enlightened, and said with emotion: "Well, I don't dare to sacrifice my life to ask how I can ascend to immortality. It's a long road outside the world, let's go hand in hand!"
Lai Mian scolded: "Don't fight for it..."
"boom--"
Just when everyone thought that Yu Ye had found the road to heaven and ascended to immortality, he fell headlong from the misty clouds, and then fell on a step, rolling twice in succession, and then became embarrassed. I got up and was stunned.
After a moment, another figure fell from the sky "thump, thump", and more than thirty companions fell on the steps one after another, but they also had eyes wide open and faces full of surprise.
More than twenty feet away, there are seven or eight Jindan and Foundation-building monks resting. They seem familiar?
Looking up the stone steps, we saw dozens of stone pillars standing on the huge stone platform, which made us look even more familiar. Tenjin Temple...
"hehe!"
Wen Gui smiled, dusted himself off and stood up.
There was actually a bit of disappointment in his laughter.
Not being able to go to heaven and ascend to immortality, Kong was overjoyed. And finally we returned to Tenjin Temple, which is something to be thankful for!
However, Tenjin Temple, dusk, and everything in front of them seemed to have not changed at all. Even the group of monks were still the same as when they first met.
"Fellow Taoists, is it July now?"
Wen Gui asked intentionally or unintentionally.
After being trapped in Tenjinji Temple for many days, I estimate that it should be late July now.
Someone responded: "Fellow Taoist, we are just joking. From the time you step into Tianshen Temple and show up again, it will only take half a stick of incense!"
"ah……"
Wen Gui, Chi Li, Lai Mian and others were stunned on the spot, all looking as if they were from another world and in disbelief.
Is the difference between the inside and outside of Tenjin Temple so strange?
A month of wandering in the ancient realm only existed for a short moment. Could it be that all the dangers are fake and Guanyi's death is an illusion? 33
Yu Ye stood alone, with an extra bag in his hand. It was the resurrecting fruit presented by Yuan Han. It was real and absolutely not false!
In addition, the magic power in his body has been restored to its original state.
Yu Ye quietly put away the bag and walked up the stone steps.
Regarding the bizarre encounters in the illusion, and the causes and consequences, he couldn't figure it out for a while, but since he returned to Tianjin Temple, he might as well check it out on the spot again.
After crossing the stone steps, tall stone pillars are in front of you.
Suddenly three figures chased after them——
"Junior Brother Yu, what are you doing?"
"Do you want to return to the ancient realm?"
"This is inappropriate!"
Yu Ye looked at Wen Gui, Chi Li, and Lai Mian who had chased him. He did not answer directly. Instead, he flicked his chin and said, "I remember that there were more than ten fellow Taoists resting here. Why did it happen after a moment?" How many people are missing?"
"As expected!"
Wen Gui nodded, raised his voice and asked, "Excuse me, are you all here?"
Someone replied: "Several fellow Taoists have left early..."
“Where do those who leave come from?”
"We have never met each other, so I don't know..."
"hehe!"
Wen Gui smiled with relief and said: "There are so many people coming and going here, I don't know what my junior brother meant by asking, hey..."
Yu Ye raised his feet and stepped over the stone pillar.
Wen Gui, Chi Li, and Lai Mian followed into the temple and spoke out one after another——
"Junior Brother Yu, there are many restrictions here, please don't rush in and out..."
"Think twice, otherwise it will be too late..."
"Don't be careless..."
While the three of them were still speaking out to dissuade, Yu Ye had already stopped.
At this time, night fell, the surrounding areas gradually became darker, and the tall stone pillars became even more mysterious.
But he saw Yu Ye standing in front of two stone pillars, his eyes twinkling, he raised his hand and pointed, saying: "This is the gateway for you and me to enter and exit the ancient realm, but now it has been completely destroyed!"
Sure enough, there was a gap in each of the two stone pillars, apparently caused by the flying sword. Not only did it destroy the restricted portal, it also completely sealed off the ancient realm!
Wen Gui gasped and said, "Oh my God, someone clearly did this deliberately!"
Chi Li's expression also changed slightly, and he said bitterly: "No wonder it's so difficult to find a way out, someone actually deliberately framed Chi!"
"snort!"
Lai Mian snorted coldly and said, "Maybe it's not Master Chimen who is scheming, but Lai!"
"Is it not Junior Brother Yu who was the one who was harmed?"
Wen Gui looked at Yu Ye.
Yu Ye put his hands on his back, turned around and walked outside the temple...
Some people died, but not completely...
