He led the three of them to the gate of Weilou. There was a guy in strange clothes standing there who didn't react at all, like a wooden man.
Mu Ziyun said: "Anyone can do it, just stand here."
"I'll do it." Huzi turned around and stood with his back against Shimen. Muziyun led Lingdang and Fang Tianmu, facing Huzi, and stepped back step by step. When they retreated to the teahouse, Muziyun said: "Hey! Boy!" , you stand here, stand sideways, keep observing me and Huzi, and if you feel something is wrong, shout out."
Fang Tianmu held the knife and fork in front of his chest with both hands and stood sideways, staring at Huzi and Mu Ziyun at the same time from the corner of his eyes. Soon after, Mu Ziyun and Ling Dang took dozens of steps back.
"Strange?" Mu Ziyun asked doubtfully, "Is the range of this illusion changing?" Then he shouted to Huzi in the distance: "Huzi! Can you see me?"
"Yes!" Huzi replied loudly.
"Is there something wrong?"
"No!"
"Okay, I'll stand here and you step back." Mu Ziyun said as he took out a thin rope. Even though this rope was only a few inches wide, it could pull several tons of weight. Use the flame to burn the rope into two parts, wrap one part around the waist of the bell, throw the other part towards Fang Tianmu, and shout: "Boy! If it feels wrong, you pull the tiger's son, I'll pull the bell, ten million Don’t separate!”
Fang Tianmu took the rope and threw it to Hu Zi. The two of them each held one end.
"Are we really in an illusion?" Lingdang asked worriedly, "I have experienced illusions before. I will definitely feel it if I fall into it."
"Isn't this what I'm trying to do? Slowly back away. If something goes wrong, shout out immediately. If this is really an illusion, we must not be separated."
"Okay." Lingdang held her breath and stepped back carefully, keeping eye contact with Muziyun. After a few dozen steps, Muziyun shouted: "Stop!" Lingdang was very nervous and asked in a low voice: "Is there a problem? "
"No" Mu Ziyun shouted like a tiger again: "Can you see the bell?"
"Yes! It's very clear!"
"That's weird. Could it be that it's not illusion but some other means?" Mu Ziyun frowned, "Could there really be someone who can move mountains and seas, and change terrain and buildings instantly?"
"Let me continue walking." Lingdang said. The road behind her was about to turn. She simply turned her back to Muziyun and walked a few steps quickly. Muziyun and Huzi shouted to each other. Huzi shouted and jabbed with his finger. Behind Mu Ziyun, Mu Ziyun turned around in panic, just in time to see the bell turning the corner. His consciousness and movements were synchronized, and Mu Ziyun pulled back the rope without any pause. The scary thing was that he only pulled back part of the rope.
Mu Ziyun, who was in a hurry, walked a few steps quickly, then stopped immediately, and slowly moved towards the bend. When the distance was almost the same, he straightened his neck and looked over the bend, where there was a bell. The road was empty, not even a breath of wind.
At this time, Fang Tianmu and Hu Zi had flown to Mu Ziyun.
"Where's the bell!" Huzi said anxiously.
"Gone." Mu Ziyun punched the wall in annoyance, "It disappeared in an instant." Just as he was saying this, he suddenly stopped and stared at one place. Huzi and Fang Tianmu looked in that direction. I saw that the guards at the gate of Weilou were replaced by the previous ones. When those people looked over, they were stunned for a while, and then shouted: "It's them, hurry up, catch them!"
At the same time, Ling Dang has already stood in another "world" - if you have to use Mu Ziyun's idea to understand it.
When she turned the corner, she didn't feel any discomfort, but when she turned back, she found that they had all disappeared. Ling Dang panicked and gradually became afraid. She ran towards the gate of Weilou, calling the names of several people. The guard in strange clothes in front of him only turned his head and looked at it before turning back into a wooden man.
Gradually, Zingdang heard some noisy sounds, followed the sound, and returned to the curve. After slowly turning the curve, many people appeared in front of them, wearing normal clothes, with different but very natural expressions. It seemed to be a lively street. Lingdang suddenly remembered that when he came to Weilou that day, he seemed to have passed this street, and Fang Tianmu discovered Weilou while crossing the street.
Ling Ding took a few steps back and stood at the turning point of the curve. Over there was the Wei Tower guarded by weirdos, and here was the bustling street talking and laughing. Ling Ding was in a mess. She seemed to be standing at the dividing point between the real and fake worlds. , or she simply doesn’t know what is true and what is false.
On the other side, Mu Ziyun and the others passed a corner while escaping. Mu Ziyun said as he ran, "Isn't this a street? How come it turned into a lake?"
"You better remember clearly, I don't know the way very well," Huzi said as he ran. At this time, a knife was placed in front of him, and Fang Tianmu fell down and stopped the two of them.
"What are you doing?" Mu Ziyun said with a glare.
Fang Tianmu raised his chin, signaling the two of them to look back. Mu Ziyun and Hu Zi turned around and found that the guard who had just chased them was gone.
"Huh?" The three of them slowly retreated to the bend. As soon as they passed the bend, voices immediately sounded in their ears, and the guards seemed to appear out of thin air and stood in front of several people. A ball of fire burst out from Mu Ziyun's hand and he smashed it on the ground. The fire wave when it exploded separated them from the people on the opposite side. During this period, the three of them fled further away again.
After escaping dozens of steps, Fang Tianmu stopped them again. Strangely, no one followed them.
"Could this illusion be useful to them too?" Mu Ziyun rolled his eyes and said, "Go back and try again. This time, let's take a closer look."
Walking around the corner at the same angle, it was still the same group of people. Mu Ziyun once again shot out a ball of fire. The difference was that when running this time, the three of them grabbed each other's clothes and walked backwards, and still no one was chasing them.
Mu Ziyun squatted on the ground, looked at the ground and the wall next to him, and said, "We seem to have encountered a more complicated technique. What did you find?"
Fang Tianmu shook his head, his face no longer calm, and Hu Zi was even more confused.
Mu Ziyun continued: "Part of my flame disappeared and I don't know where it went. There is a ghost in this corner, it's very ghostly."
"Stop talking nonsense and think of a solution quickly," Huzi urged: "Lingdang alone may not be able to figure out what happened!"
"knew!"
Fang Tianmu had no resistance to illusions and actually stood aside obediently. Mu Ziyun racked his brains to think about the characteristics and details of the illusions in Tiannunu Cemetery, and found that there was a little similarity between here and there, that is, the intersection of reality and reality. The guard he just saw was real, but after passing the bend, The scene is fake, but why does the bell disappear after passing the same bend, and how does the fake Weilou gate suddenly become real?
Where did the bell go? If there are two worlds here, and the lake here means that Mu Ziyun and the others are in the fake world, then could the bell be in the real world, that is, standing on a busy street? Why does the same road lead to two worlds? Where is the means to cause trouble?
fire? flame? Yes, find the answer from the flame.
Mu Ziyun carefully recalled the changes in the flames when the fire ball exploded. Excluding the up and down directions, the curve is equivalent to a sealed container. The exploded flames can only surge to both ends, rushing towards the group of guards at one end, and a group of them followed him through the curve and came here.
The fire at that end is unclear, but following its own flame, part of it has obviously disappeared. Could it be that this seemingly ordinary bend actually hides other roads, or implies other "introductions", if it reaches a certain If the conditions are met, the "attractor" will be activated, producing some kind of wonderful effect, causing some things on the curve to go elsewhere. The reason why the guards did not follow is because they knew there was a ghost on the curve. If they were not careful, they would Will also fall in.
If this hypothesis is true, then there must be at least two "introductions" on the curve, one is touched by the bell, and she went to another place through the function of the "introductions". The other one was touched by the three of them. Through the "introduction", they stood where the Zhenwei Tower is.
What did the bell do when cornering? Did Huzi and that boy do anything strange when they came over?
"Muziyun, how's it going? Did you find anything?" Huzi asked in a low voice.
Mu Ziyun closed his eyes and was silent for a while before replying: "I have some ideas, but no basis. What I can be sure of is that this method is by no means as simple as illusion. It is also very different from Tiannunu Cemetery. Tiannunu The illusion in the fake tomb in the cemetery tries its best to make you go astray. Although it is very close to the real tomb, you never get there. The real and the fake here are chaotically intertwined, but there seems to be something wrong. Certain rules.”
Fang Tianmu suddenly spoke up and said, "The surroundings haven't changed anymore." Mu Ziyun was stunned for a moment, stood up, looked around, and said, "Maybe it's because we didn't move much and didn't touch each other." Mu Ziyun paused, Yun's eyes slowly opened wide, and he muttered: "What if the trigger condition of "Introduction" is to walk away! Think about it, when the things around us change, we just happened to walk a certain distance."
"Well, I can't remember clearly, but we hid in the Kata Forest at the beginning. After we walked out of it, the Kata Forest turned into a teahouse."
"That's right," Mu Ziyun said excitedly: "And the bell disappeared because she walked a certain distance, and the real guard appeared because you ran a certain distance."
"You mean, this illusion only works if you walk a lot?"
"No, let's do another experiment now and see the results. I might have a clue." Mu Ziyun carefully divided the tasks between Hu Zi and Fang Tianmu, and walked into the corner together.
When he saw the guards, Fang Tianmu drew out a hundred swords within a few breaths, and the waves of blades knocked the guards away. During this period, Mu Ziyun accumulated a big wave of power to his mouth, and spit out flames, along the The road was instilled in every corner, and using his own perception of flames, Mu Ziyun clearly discovered that many flames were disappearing according to certain rules.
After breathing out the fire, Mu Ziyun kicked his legs and jumped into the sky. In an instant, his eyes were dazzled by hundreds of flowers. Taking reading as an example, a person can read one book at a time and remember it, but if you see a hundred books at once, And through some means, you can memorize the contents of all the books instantly. Not only will you vomit, but you will also faint. Mu Ziyun was in this situation now. When he jumped up, he seemed to see hundreds of roads, intricately intertwined in front of his eyes. Not only that, his brain independently remembered all the contents, but only for a moment, because Huge dizziness, completely forgotten.
Mu Ziyun was foaming at the mouth and falling from the sky. His eyes were still half open. Hu Zi carried him and returned to the corner with Fang Tianmu. He used alfalfa potion to restore Mu Ziyun's energy.
Mu Ziyun's mouth was still a little dry, so he said: "I kind of understand it. This is not an illusion, or it is an extreme illusion."
"What do you mean?" Huzi asked.
"The combination of reality and illusion in Tiannunu Cemetery is the pinnacle of illusion. While creating falsehoods, it uses real things to confuse people's perception and judgment, often making people unable to tell whether they are in the real world or the fake world. But it’s different here. I always thought there were two worlds, one real and one false, but I was actually wrong. Both worlds are real, and there are even more than two.”
Huzi was horrified and said: "You mean, someone used real things to match real things to create an illusion that the magic is illusory and real?"
"Yes, and all these real things have been arranged in advance according to certain rules. We will go to a dead end on our own. I know you may not understand. Let me explain it to you this way. If there are two cities in one place, An expert used some means to combine the two cities together. This combination is not simply moving the house here and putting it here, but a complete replacement and integration."
Mu Ziyun continued: "For example, Hu Zi, you are standing on a certain road in a city, looking forward, and what you see is a scenery. And Fang Tianmu is standing on a similar road in another city, looking forward. What I saw before was another scene. The combined effect was that the position of Huzi Station remained unchanged, but the scene I saw became what Fang Tianmu saw, and Fang Tianmu walked towards the place where you were supposed to arrive. Place. Maybe we should walk from the gate of Weilou to a busy street, but on the road we passed, there was a piece of land embedded in another city. It was very narrow, but as long as we stepped on that piece of land, we would walk towards another city. somewhere."
"It's like a maze. It looks like we are walking the same path as the bell, but in fact there are two paths, leading to two places."
"I don't understand. Just tell me what we should do." Huzi was a little confused.
"We have to go back the way we have walked. This curve looks ordinary, but in fact there are at least three roads on it, two of which are the land of Mianzuo City, and one is the land of another city. I know this sounds like It sounds absurd, but it is actually true. Whichever piece of land you stand on, you will see the scenery of the city."
"Do you still remember where we stood when we flew towards me?"
"I don't remember," Hu Zi said anxiously, and Mu Ziyun said, "I only looked for the bell and didn't look carefully."
"I remember," Fang Tianmu said, "how to do it."
"Okay, let's go back to that place along the same path we took before. It should be effective."
This time, the three of them walked very slowly. Fang Tianmu took the lead and once again used flames to push the guards away. Huzi grabbed Fang Tianmu, Mu Ziyun grabbed Huzi, and the three of them flew in the same direction. And go. When the guards attacked, Mu Ziyun shouted: "Don't worry, just stand on that ground."
Hu seemed to wake up from his dream, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet. After regaining consciousness, the three of them were surprised to find that in front of the gate of Weilou a hundred steps away, there were a few wooden guards wearing strange clothes. He only glanced at Mu Ziyun and the others before looking elsewhere.
The surrounding appearance has not changed, but the world has changed.
Sure enough, wherever you stand on the land, you will be in that world. For example, there are ten floors in a room, but one floor is connected to another world. When you stand on it, it seems that you are in the room, but in fact you are somewhere else.
"Now, go find the bell." Mu Ziyun followed the path of the bell in his memory and was half a foot away from the wall. He stretched out his hand and pulled Hu Zi. Fang Tianmu pulled the back of Hu Zi's hand reluctantly, carefully. No matter how careful you are, you won't miss any detail of the bell. Wherever the bell disappears around the bend, they will pass by it.
Finally, a burst of noise reached their ears, and the familiar street appeared in front of them. Beside the wall with peeling mud, there was a girl sitting with her head buried deep. The world was so lively, but she was so lonely.
"Hey! Girl, are you crying?"
Lingdang suddenly raised her head, her hair was messy and her eyes were red. She couldn't tell what was true and what was false, so she could only sit there alone. Fortunately, she didn't move anymore, otherwise, she really didn't know how to get together with them.
Ling Ding gritted his teeth, eyes moist, and yelled: "What took you so long!" He jumped up, grabbed the two pieces of meat on Mu Ziyun's belly with both hands, wiped Mu Ziyun's collar with his forehead, closed his eyes tightly, and shook his shoulders. Trembling, after a long time, he relaxed his strength.
"Uh." Mu Ziyun squatted down and lifted off a piece of his clothes. The two pieces of flesh on his belly turned completely blue and purple. He said in pain, "I have to spend time thinking about it, ouch."
Poof, Huzi laughed loudly, Lingdang pouted and kicked Muziyun, and then laughed too. Fang Tianmu's expression finally turned cold, Muziyun swept his legs, lay down on the ground, and laughed too. stand up.
In a short time, their spirits were severely depressed. Huzi took Fang Tianmu and Lingdang and sat by the wall, and the four of them took a good rest.
"Hey, what should we do next?" Huzi asked.
Mu Ziyun smiled evilly and said, "Go back and make them pay some price!"
