While Ye Hong was carefully sculpting, he was also chatting with the girl. The girl was also a very cheerful person, carefree but not restrained, very open-minded. The two talked and answered, and gradually became familiar with each other.
But when they talked about the girl and asked her name, Ye Hong paused, slowed down for a moment, and went wrong with the knife, almost destroying the puppet that was about to be carved. Fortunately, Ye Hong stopped in time.
"You said your name is Liangyu? Qingliang Liang?"
"Yeah! What's wrong? Is this surname rare? It's the first time I heard it, hehe!"
"It's not my first meeting, but I've met someone named Liang before. When I heard this surname, I couldn't help but think of her."
"Your surname is Liang? You can't be my relative by chance! What's her name? Maybe I even know her!" The girl Liangyu was surprised. Her exaggerated confidence was in line with Liangyu's temperament now that we were familiar with her.
Ye Hong was amused by the girl and said with a smile: "What a coincidence. The person I met decades ago. You were not even born at that time, how could you know him?"
"Then tell me what's her name?"
"She...is so long ago! When I was in junior high school, I had a classmate, also named Liang, named Liangzhi. Speaking of this..."
Before Ye Hong could finish speaking, the girl made a surprised sound, which was very shocking, interrupting what Ye Hong was about to say.
"Ah! It can't really be such a coincidence! My grandma's name is that!"
"You...what did you say!" Ye Hong seemed to think that he heard wrongly, and was also very surprised.
The girl didn't notice Ye Hong's emotional fluctuations, and thought it was because Ye Hong was deaf, so she said it again, and at the same time she said doubtfully:
"I said my grandma's name is Liangzhi! You don't really know my grandma, do you?"
Ye Hong smiled bitterly and murmured, "No wonder...no wonder...I didn't expect such a coincidence..."
A momentary memory came to my mind. No wonder the girl looked a bit similar. I thought I had forgotten about this relationship, but it turned out that it had been buried deep in my heart.
Decades passed, contact was lost, and when I heard the news again, it was already seventy years old.
"You...grandma...is she okay now?"
"Grandma has been dead for a long time. Otherwise, I can take you to see my grandma. You will definitely have a lot to talk about."
Hearing that the beauty of the past had passed away, Ye Hong suddenly felt very disappointed. He felt suddenly empty and lost a lot.
"Leave...are you gone...I don't even have a chance to see you again..."
In the murmur, what on earth is he doing, what is he chasing, he has not figured it out for so many years, and he still hasn't figured it out at this moment, but after hearing the news that Liangzhi has passed away, something seems to begin to collapse in his heart.
Ye Hong's consciousness began to become confused. A familiar voice appeared in his mind calling him, but he couldn't remember who it was. He could only hear anxiety and worry in the voice.
Ye Hong, who was unconscious, felt that the whole world was shaking in his eyes. There seemed to be cracks in the sky. He was unable to stand firmly on his feet and was about to fall into the lake next to him.
The surrounding scenery began to distort, and even the girl began to break apart. Ye Hong lost his footing and fell into the lake. What Ye Hong didn't notice was that the girl named Liangyu turned into a wisp of black aura after it collapsed, and then disappeared between heaven and earth.
The moment the lake submerged him, as if the shackles of the seal were broken, Ye Hong's memory began to revive, and a large number of memories emerged. Ye Hong finally remembered, the crying girl in the dream, that he still owed her a wedding; he remembered what the missing part of him was, that someone was still waiting for him; he remembered that he had cares and loves, There is still a lot of unfinished business that needs to be done on your own.
I had already seen the clues of this world, but because of my temporary greed, I wanted to complete the unfinished road in my previous life, see her again, and have another fantasy, so I chose to stay, pretending to continue as if nothing had happened. Life. In order to make up for the regrets of the previous life, I didn't expect that I would sink deeper and deeper into this false but extremely real world, and let down more people.
Ye Hong, immersed in the lake, keeps falling. The light on the water is so gentle. There are always people trying to catch that hope, making people more and more lost.
Suddenly awakened, Ye Hong felt that he shouldn't be like this. He should let the past go and cherish what he had in front of him was what he should do.
Some people are no longer there once they miss them, so why can't you let go of the past? The past will eventually pass and has already become the past. At this moment, Ye Hong realized.
There was no sense of suffocation in the water. At the moment Ye Hong realized it, the scene before his eyes changed, and it was dazzling. When he saw the scene clearly again, Ye Hong found that he was still beside the lake under the huge tree.
Ye Hong quickly retracted his gaze as he stared at the lake and said to himself: "It turns out that everything is really an illusion. It's so strange that the lake can make people fall into such a real illusion!"
Being able to get out of the illusion, Ye Hong missed the people he hadn't seen for a long time even more. After all, in the illusion, it felt like he was in another world, and he realized how important some people were to him.
The past life cannot be repeated, and it is impossible to go back in time, but there is still a lot worth cherishing and loving in this life, and the decision Ye Hong has already made in his heart becomes stronger.
"This life is different from the previous life, I can definitely do it!"
When Ye Hong's determination was firm, the natural thing he faced was how to leave here. Looking around, as far as he could see, there was only a lake besides trees, which immediately confused Ye Hong and made him confused.
"What the hell is this place? It's too strange! How can I return to the Shuiyuedongtian ruins and Shuiyue City?"
Suddenly Ye Hong recalled the voice he heard when he fell into the water and walked out of the illusion. It was very familiar. Now he thought about it, and it sounded like Murong Jingxue's voice.
"If it's Jingxue's voice, why don't we see her here? Or am I still in an illusion? Am I just going from one illusion to another?"
After thinking about it, Ye Hong started looking for an exit and how to leave the illusion. Generally, if it was an illusion, there was a way to break it, but Ye Hong didn't believe that he couldn't find it.
"The tree... doesn't look like a fake one, nor does it look like a place with a breakthrough, nor does the lake look like it!" Ye Hong was about to look away when suddenly his eyes were fixed and he thought of something.
"Wait! Lake... lake! I understand!"
Ye Hong swallowed his saliva and stared at the lake very nervously. Strangely enough, he didn't fall into any illusion this time, so he was nervous for once.
However, Ye Hong did not relax his nervousness, and then raised his feet and stepped toward the lake.
The raised foot fell down and stepped on the lake. A magical scene appeared. Ye Hong found that just as he expected, he did not fall into the lake, but stepped firmly on the lake.
Seeing this situation, Ye Hong then stepped onto the lake with both feet. Sure enough, the lake was as flat as walking on the ground. At this time, the lake was still as calm as water, without any waves, as if the lake was not water, but a mirror.
Because Ye Hong looked down and could actually see his own reflection on the lake, reflecting his appearance.
"As expected! The breakthrough point of the illusion is on the lake surface, or should I say, the mirror surface."
After knowing where to break through the situation, the next step is to find a way to break it. After that, Ye Hong looked at his reflection in the lake again, and suddenly felt that his reflection came to life and was trying to pull him into the bottom of the lake.
Seeing this, Ye Hong shook his head and hurriedly closed his eyes to stop looking at the reflection in the lake. He got rid of distracting thoughts in his mind and calmed down.
After he calmed down, Ye Hong opened his eyes again to look at the reflection, and found that there was nothing unusual about the reflection in the lake, it was just a reflection.
"The heart is like water, and nature is like a mirror! If the heart is not moved, the water will not flow. The heart is like a mirror! I understand!"
At this moment, Ye Hong suddenly understood a sentence that lingered in his mind while meditating under the tree.
That night Hongming realized that he kept his true intention and strengthened his will. After that, he was able to walk freely on the lake without hallucinations or falling into an illusion.
But what followed was another problem. There was still no way to crack this illusion. He still couldn't return to the Shuiyue Cave Sky Ruins, and return to the outside of the azure sky before entering this illusion.
"The direction is correct. The point where the mirror was broken must be on the Mirror Lake, but what should we do? How come there are shadows of flowers in this lake?"
It's not unusual for the Mirror Lake to reflect himself on it. After careful observation, Ye Hong discovered an even stranger thing. There were no flowers blooming on both sides of the bank, but there were actually many flowers blooming in the Mirror Lake. The large branches and leaves next to it clearly stretched out to the lake, but there was no reflection of the big tree in the lake.
"The tree has no shadow? The mirror grows flowers!"
Seeing such an unusual sight, Ye Hong suddenly felt that he had found a breakthrough. Wherever there were strange characteristics, there would usually be some kind of opportunity or crisis hidden there. This was Ye Hong's experience gained from countless experiences.
Sure enough, that night, Ye Hong began to pay attention to the strange scene of Shangjing Lake. The shadows of the flowers in the mirror lake began to change. For a moment, the flowers in the mirror lake bloomed stunningly and beautifully.
Every blooming flower seems to have a special magic power, attracting the eye. Once you stare at it, you can never look away. Similarly, Ye Hong was also deeply attracted, feeling dazzled as if he was about to be sucked into a blooming flower.
At the same time, Ye Hong also saw a different scene. Ye Hong saw that there seemed to be a world in every blooming flower, and there was a self in each world. They had different experiences and different lives. , there are the beautiful things that I envy and want, there are the fears that I am afraid of happening, and there are also the unknowns that I am experiencing.
"Fake! Fake! These are all fake! I won't be fooled by you anymore!"
Ye Hong kept shaking his head and banging his head to keep himself awake and not fall into those flower worlds and indulge in them.
"Wake up! I must stay awake! Frost Sparkling Sword! Yes! Use Frost Sparkling Sword!"
Ye Hong used his will to resist. At this time, he remembered that the cold air of the Frost Sparkling Sword could have an awakening effect. He wanted to use the Frost Sparkling Sword to wake himself up, but suddenly found that he could not summon the Frost Sparkling Sword and could not use the storage. bag.
At this time, Ye Hong realized that he was really still in the illusion. Not only was his storage bag useless, but he also had no cultivation.
"What a joke! There is an illusion within an illusion! How can this be broken!"
Just when Ye Hong's will was about to collapse and he thought he was about to fall into an illusion again, suddenly under a blooming flower in the mirror lake, a green-red koi popped up and looked at Ye Hong curiously with its big eyes. .
Ye Hong was also stunned when he saw the koi that suddenly appeared. Isn't this the red-scaled green-tailed koi that spit water at him in the first place?
