The sudden change of events caught Hong Ting and Que Xiu by surprise, leaving them dumbfounded and at a loss. A sword penetrated the chest, but no blood spattered, and the bodies of the two men slowly evaporated and flew away.
A hearty laughter came from the cave. The three of them looked sideways and saw a golden light projected from the corner of the cave wall. The grandfather and grandson slowly walked out of it. "You can see through the 'puppet talisman' we used. As expected, it is Mr. Murong." It would be wrong!”
Qingtian bowed his hands and saluted, "Senior was invisible in the 'Snail Dwelling Talisman', so I had no choice but to reveal my identity again. I'm very offended. I apologize here!"
It was so thrilling, so sad and joyful that even Yuhongting broke into a cold sweat.
Everyone announced their names, this time it was their real names, and Qu Fan was his real name. He solemnly introduced the young man: "This is my young master Nangong Qian!"
Qingtian searched in his mind. Among his disciples of the same generation, this name seemed unfamiliar, but he still stood up to greet him and said, "I have admired you for a long time." Nangong Qian smiled in return, his face very pale.
"To be honest with you, something went wrong during the young master's practice and he lost control of his aura. We are only looking for a piece of 'Dragon White' this time."
Yu Hongting interjected: "According to medical records, 'Dragon White' is the only white scale on the dragon's belly. It can blend yin and yang, balance good and evil, and is extremely precious. Others will never give it up!"
Qu Fan sighed and Qingtian cheered him up: "Senior, don't worry, we will do our best to help our junior brother!"
After talking for a while, the topic turned to the attack just now. Qu Fan described it like this: "Half an hour ago, someone sneaked into the cave, wearing black clothes and covering his face. We didn't dare to fight, so we used the 'puppet talisman' to lure him away. He was outside the cave. Due to the strength of the palm..."
"It must be the 'Three Little Pigs' of the Snow Mountain Sect who want to eradicate dissidents and monopolize the benefits!"
Qingtian shook his head in denial: "We were attacked with hidden weapons when we came back, and so was Que Xiu. Many people were attacked and injured, and some people quit because of it. It's obvious that the Snow Mountain Sect is incapable of doing anything."
"Could it be the Huazhui gang who did it? They are so powerful in numbers!"
While he was talking, shouts came from outside, and the "combat meeting" began again. Everyone gathered together, Lu Li stood tall, Huazhu arrived for the first time, and sat down comfortably on the Taishi chair.
Before the meeting started, Leng Han suddenly took action, and the sword in his hand drew a white arc of light. The sword energy was bone-piercing and struck Huazhui directly. Huazhui didn't move, and the four people around him took action at the same time, also facing each other with sword energy. The beauty with electric eyes next to him changed her face and was about to take action. Huazhui waved her hand to stop her.
Leng Han was forced to retreat and did not attack again. Huazhui chuckled and said, "This brother takes action without saying a word. I don't know why?"
"You sent people to attack us. People in the dark don't do secret things. Why don't you dare to fight here to decide life and death?"
"My people were also ambushed, and I was suspecting that it was you..."
Lu Li shouted to stop the quarrel: "There are indeed people who want to sabotage our journey to find the dragon, but they are all shady young people, so what should we be afraid of? No one can stop us from moving forward!" What he said was sonorous and powerful. Arousing everyone's enthusiasm, everyone exchanged information with each other and was full of confidence.
"The Urgomon is just a peripheral beast, nothing to be afraid of..."
After Lu Li finished explaining and gave the key points of tomorrow's actions, everyone dispersed. Yuhongting took the initiative to strike up a conversation: "I heard that the young master's flower boat is magnificent and extremely luxurious. The little girl is yearning for it. Can you go and have a look?"
Huazhui was a little flattered, "I have already prepared a private room for the girl, with all the fine wine and food!"
Yuhongting came back the next morning, still hungover and looking tired, "Last night we played songs and drank till late at night. It turned out that our life of revelry and extravagance was so enjoyable!"
Que Xiu tapped her head with his finger: "Wake up! You are a nun, don't forget our business!"
"I searched at night. The ship has three floors. The lowest floor is for the boatmen and warehouses. The second floor is for Huazhui and his beauties. The third floor is for the bodyguards' residence. There are drunkards everywhere. There are no secrets at all."
Qingtian was a little confused, "Is this playboy really just for sightseeing? Isn't it unreasonable?"
"I will never understand the world of the rich because poverty limits my imagination!"
Everyone repacked and set off to face the rising sun. Nangong Qian and his servants were traveling together. Since it was not safe to stay, it was better to have someone taking care of them. When they reached the dense forest halfway up the mountain, a familiar sound came as expected. Everyone calmly evacuated to the cliff. When the beasts approached, everyone jumped up and clung to the cliff.
Meng Ya was close to Que Xiu and leaned against him gently, very intimately. The herd of beasts passed by underfoot, stirring up a cloud of dust and smoke. Thinking of yesterday's shock, Que Xiu still had lingering fears in his heart.
After the beasts left, everyone continued to move forward. The dense forest was sparse and the terrain gradually eased. There was a lake in front of them. The lake water was clear and blue, reflecting the majestic figure of the mountain peaks, and the scenery was pleasant.
"With such a beautiful scenery, why don't we rest here for a while?" Yuhongting suggested, and everyone agreed unanimously.
Mengya dipped her delicate feet in the lake, feeling very happy. Que Xiu sat next to him. The blue lake water was like deep eyes. His thoughts were stretched and his consciousness was a little blurry.
"This lake is like my tears, it has never dried up..." Meng Ya was moved by the scene and burst into tears again. When the tears fell into the lake, causing small ripples, the lake opened like a curtain, and another scene came into view.
It's still this lake, the water surface is like a mirror, the moon is reflected in it, the artistic conception is so beautiful. There was a man and a woman, the man dressed in white as snow, the woman dressed in black, facing each other by the lake.
"I love you with my life, why can't you stay with me?" the woman asked.
The man had no choice but to flick his sleeves and said, "I have my own world. We don't belong to the same world!"
The woman shouted loudly: "You lied! Except for your words, everything else has betrayed you. You love me, there is no doubt! I will be entangled with you for three lifetimes. I don't believe you won't change your mind!"
Mengya seemed to be in a daze. She stood up and stepped forward. Que Xiu wanted to stop her, but her hands were tightly grasped. Her small hands were cold and trembling, making it impossible to refuse. Snow began to fall in the sky, and the two people facing each other remained motionless. Their bodies were gradually covered by snow, turning into a snowman.
"Brother, why does my heart hurt so much? I can feel her deep sadness. Could this be our previous life?"
Que Xiu couldn't answer. He could feel the sadness and the depressing and suffocating emotions, but he couldn't trace their origin. He held Mengya's hand tightly and felt her rich emotions changing in his palm...
Qingtian saw the ripples unfolding, but it was a different scene: Songyue Mountain was majestic and beautiful, and the scenery of the Hundred Waterfalls and Pools in the back mountain was somewhat similar to this place. My father's long clothes and wide sleeves looked like a fairy, but his face was as gloomy as water. "My son Qingtian, I will pass on my cultivation to you, but you have done nothing. I am extremely disappointed as a father!"
Qingtian panicked and replied: "The child is incompetent and has tried his best, but with little effect!"
My father's eyes were as bright as lightning, "What about the things I told you before we left?"
Qingtian was even more frightened and fell to the ground, "Please father, please take back your life. Forgive the child, it is really difficult..."
The father's robe sleeves flicked, and a huge force knocked him over, "You traitor! A mediocre person! I, Murong Yue, am blind, so I put the responsibility of the family's prosperity and decline on your shoulders!"
His father's figure gradually disappeared. Qingtian was terrified and helpless, staring blankly at the calm water in the pool...
When Yuhongting saw the curtain open, she felt something strange. She practiced orthodox Buddhism and was instinctively alert to the evil arts.
Master Moti was meditating on the nameless lake at the foot of the mountain. She waved the whisk in her hand, and thousands of rays of light suddenly appeared. "Disciple, I am very worried about my teacher. I have not been strict with you and have allowed you to act willfully and emotionally. Your relationship with the Buddha has faded away day by day!"
Yuhongting knelt down and said, "I know my mistake, I will never dare to do it again!" But she was secretly calculating in her heart: "Master, is he referring to Wu Ying? Or Qing Tian?"
Moti sighed: "You can't be distracted at all. The difference in cultivation is all the fault of your teacher!" Moti turned and left, his figure disappearing into the water and sky.
Yu Hongting was surprised. Master should give long lectures and teach earnestly. Why did he let her go so easily?
At this moment, a chuckle came from behind, Wuying came slowly, his smile was intoxicating, and the gentleness of his palms made it difficult for her to control. She knew these were all hallucinations, but the tears in her eyes were real, and the feeling of happiness was so real that she couldn't let go.
After lingering for a moment, she ran her palms through the long hair, feeling the tenderness of her ears and temples for the last time. Finally, she made up her mind to focus the holy light of Buddhist practice on the heavenly spirit, and then suddenly released it. Her mind was instantly clear, and the illusion dissipated.
She was still by the lake, the sun had set, and it seemed that she had been trapped in the hallucination for a long time. Que Xiu and Meng Ya were still clinging to each other by the lake, motionless. The others had different postures and remained motionless, but Qingtian was missing.
When she searched around, she found something strange about Nangong Qian. His face was distorted and his expression was ferocious, as if he was trapped in a nightmare. Yuhongting stepped forward and called softly, but when he was still a few steps away, Nangong Qian suddenly made a move, and the power of his right palm spurted out. It was a powerful and strange force. Yuhongting was caught off guard and unable to dodge.
At the critical moment, someone flew forward and set up the "Xuantian Cover" for defense. The two of them were knocked out more than ten feet. The bluestone on the ground instantly became crisscrossed with ravines, and the shape was very weird, as if it had been carved by someone.
Hongting took a breath of cold air, which was the same as the palm force of the attacker in front of the cave yesterday. She wanted to step forward to take a closer look, but Qingtian stopped her gently. "They are all trapped in an illusory world. Find a way to wake them up first!"
"This illusion can reveal the memories and thoughts deep in people's minds, making people trapped in it and unable to extricate themselves. The holy light of Buddhism you practice and the 'Haoran Zhengqi' I practice are the nemesis of these evil illusions, so We can wake up quickly."
"Then what should we do?"
"We will unite the holy light and 'Haoran Zhengqi' to fight back with all our strength, and we will definitely be able to break this evil illusion!"
The two people were in the middle, sitting cross-legged, palms facing each other, slightly closing their eyes to perform exercises. The same snow-white light condensed on their heads, and then slowly merged. The huge light ball was dazzling, and suddenly exploded...
