The city gate.
Mu Qing raised his head and said: "He said that there is no problem with Xichuan River, and there is no problem with dreams. Everything is caused by human nature. Does that mean that as long as we want to leave, we can leave?"
The tall Wu Clan guard stood in the shadow, more like a stable mountain. He stood in front of Mu Qing and said slowly: "Anyone who comes to Xichuan City cannot leave without permission from the city lord. Unless...kill me."
Mu Qing listened to the extremely calm tone of the Wu Clan guard and remained silent for a long time, then said: "I have been to that thatched cottage twice, once in a dream and once to see her. I wanted to face the city lord you call me tonight. But he was stopped by Du Qingquan."
"So, I only saw him once in my dream."
"But my experience over the past month has given me a feeling."
Mu Qing's eyes showed strong suspicion, "He is everywhere. Everyone in Xichuan City has his own story, but everyone is carrying out his will. No one in this city hates him or opposes him. people."
The Wu Clan guard said: "The city lord has protected this city, and everyone should respect and love him as a matter of course."
Mu Qing asked: "You are from the Wu Clan, don't you want to know what the descendants of the Wu Clan are like in the outside world?"
"..."
The Wu Clan guard was silent for a long time and said, "I came here voluntarily and broke away from the Wu Clan."
Mu Qing ignored him and spoke out what he thought about the Gu family, but what he got in return was the silence of the Wu clan guards.
He seemed to have really lost all curiosity about it.
Mu Qing felt a little bored and suddenly said: "Do you know the Great Sun Sect?"
The Wu Clan guard moved slightly, and Mu Qing could clearly feel that he was looking at her. The Wu Clan guard said, "You are from the Great Sun Sect."
Mu Qing nodded, "I'm from the Great Sun Sect, but I left to find my Taoist companion in Xichuan City. Don't you think it's strange?"
The Witch Clan guards continued to remain silent.
Mu Qing turned around and left neatly.
He passed the gate of Wangchuan Inn and walked straight towards Qingyu's residence.
At this time when dawn was approaching, it was very quiet here. Mu Qing walked in through the gate without any further obstruction.
With the memory from his dream, he easily found the room where Qingyu practiced.
In the room, Mu Qing looked at Qing Yu's back sitting cross-legged and meditating, and took the initiative to break the oppressive atmosphere and said, "Du Qingquan told me that there is no problem with wine."
Qingyu turned his back to him and said with a hint of alienation in his voice: "Are you coming to me now just to ask me to tell you that I am lying?"
Mu Qing shook his head and said seriously: "You are all right. Huang Liang has a dream. It is easy to wake up but not wake up, so it is even harder to forget."
Mu Qing said: "It's my problem if you don't leave here."
Qingyu said calmly: "Whatever needs to be said, I already made it clear to you in the inn. You should leave here as soon as possible."
Mu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, "Did you also find something wrong here?"
Qingyu didn't answer.
Mu Qing talked to himself about the discovery he was holding back, "So far, Du Qingquan is the most special person I know. The other people, even the Wu clan guards at the city gate, are always weird. They You can tell your past very clearly, but you don’t care about what’s happening now, and you don’t care about the outside world at all.”
"They're like... people who live forever in the past."
"This is exactly the opposite of what happened in my dreams. My real memories of the past will fade every day. If I don't realize that this is a dream in my dreams, will I be like them when I wake up naturally?"
Qingyu said coldly: "You understand correctly. Before you came here, I was already like them, and I don't reject this. This is why my strength has improved so quickly."
Mu Qing said anxiously: "This is very abnormal. City Lord Xichuan is a great person who is proficient in Yuan Shen cultivation. You must have been affected unknowingly."
"And even if we don't talk about the abnormality here, Xichuan City has always been isolated from the outside world. Even if you don't want to stay with me, you should think about other people."
"Uncle Feng is also in Beihuang. He has sacrificed a lot to save you."
Qingyu stood up and turned to look at Mu Qing, his eyes full of disappointment, "I didn't expect you to be such a person."
Mu Qing was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Who am I in your heart?"
Qingyu said: "You have become selfish and obsessed with desire, but you don't have the courage to express your desire."
"I don't plan to leave. It's my choice. Why should you use outsiders to influence me."
Mu Qing was speechless: "They, they are not outsiders."
"What about you?" Qingyu looked at Mu Qing with burning eyes.
Mu Qing subconsciously wanted to escape under Qingyu's gaze, but after an extremely embarrassing silence, he felt countless guilt and forced himself to face Qingyu's gaze.
Mu Qing said slowly: "This is a problem I have never dared to face."
"You are right. Emotionally, I am a selfish and shameless man."
"I keep saying that as long as you don't want to leave me, I will do my best to be with you."
"But I am extremely afraid that one day you will actually tell me personally that you want to leave me."
Qingyu cried silently and said with a painful expression: "Then can you be with me?"
Mu Qing nodded vigorously, "Of course."
Qingyu smiled sadly: "What about the others?"
For the first time, Mu Qing faced his inner desires and fears. His expression slowly calmed down and he said, "Others should join us."
"If any of you want to leave me, I will bring you back and be with you. This is who I am."
Qingyu frowned and said: "You are disgusting, get out of here."
Mu Qing's heart throbbed, and she subconsciously stretched out her hand, but Qingyu opened it, "Even if you hate me, I still want to be with you, and I want to take you out of here together."
Qingyu forced a smile and said: "You are much better than the hypocritical appearance just now, but what you did is still disgusting. I said, I will not accept sharing you with other women."
“If you don’t accept it, you don’t accept it.”
Mu Qing lowered his head, not daring to look at Qing Ying's distressed expression. Every word she spoke was like a flying sword piercing deeply into Mu Qing's heart, but it also made Mu Qing extremely determined in his actions and said: " It’s dangerous here, I’m going to take you out of here, and I’ll give you space after you get out.”
Mu Qing raised his head and said, "You told me about your days on the island. Maybe you can go see your mother."
"My mother?" Qingyu's eyes showed deep confusion, and finally he just shook his head: "I can't remember her anymore."
Mu Qing suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of surprise: "How is that possible?"
Qingyu turned around and said calmly: "Nothing is impossible. Ever since I drank Huangliang wine and didn't realize it was a dream, I have already actively accepted this change, and you are already out of tune with this place. .”
Mu Qing looked at the familiar figure in front of him, fear and suspicion revealed in the depths of his eyes for the first time. At this time, Qing Yu was completely like a stranger.
Is she Ye Yun?
This question appeared in Mu Qing's mind, and it was difficult to suppress it.
Mu Qing said: "That night in the town, I heard you talking about my aunt."...
Qingyu said leisurely: "That is already in the past, it is not worth remembering."
Mu Qing opened his mouth, looked deeply at her back, his eyes were filled with thoughts, and he frowned and said: "Du Qingquan told me that all this is caused by people's hearts. The city lord Xichuan said in his dream that he did not make things difficult for us, and everything was done." It’s our own desires that cause it.”
"If we talk about the sweet dreams after drinking, it is the realization of our desires."
"What now?"
Qingyu turned around and looked at Mu Qing with an indifferent expression.
Mu Qing said: "Before this, I always thought that as long as I told you that dreams had an impact on you and amplified certain desires in your heart, you would wake up."
"But I have always ignored one thing, that is, what does this situation mean to me?"
Qingyu said: "You realize that it was a dream."
Mu Qing smiled bitterly and said: "After waking up from the dream, I faced the desires in my heart, which made me feel scared."
Mu Qing raised his head and looked at it
Looking at the room shrouded in darkness, her expression faded and she said sadly: "You are not her."
"She is indeed a very independent woman, otherwise she would not have escaped from marriage and came to Jinguan City. But she will not forget her mother."
"...That night in the town, I asked her about her family and about her Mu Qing, but she didn't say anything. She just cried herself to sleep."
"You should know more stories about my aunt, but even the most basic miss of her has faded away."
"I found many explanations for you, and finally only one was left."
Qingyu asked curiously: "What?"
Mu Qing looked at the familiar pretty face in front of him, but found that the outline of the face seemed to be covered with a white halo. He couldn't help but squint his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You only remember the stories I know about you. Just like other people in the city, they exist because of Xichuan, and you do exist because of me."
Qingyu tilted his head and asked sadly and helplessly: "Then who am I?"
Mu Qing subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, but forcefully took his hand back and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. You are her in my heart, a woman who was molded by the fear in my heart."
"So I'm in your dream?" Qingyu showed a hint of curiosity in his eyes and took a step towards Mu Qing.
Mu Qing also walked towards her, but the next moment he passed through her body.
Mu Qing felt extremely uncomfortable and turned to look at Qing Yu.
Qing Yu stood quietly in the room, slightly pursed his lips, waving towards Mu Qing.
Her figure faded little by little, like an elegant scroll of a lady, slowly burning in the air, and finally turned into a bright light and completely disappeared in the fog.
Mu Qing stared blankly at the place where Qingyu was standing, and suddenly screamed in pain.
He smashed through the wall and flew towards the Xichuan River. At this time, the sky turned white, and the early morning light chased Mu Qing's figure, shining on every building in Xichuan City, like a fire from the sky, shattering everything. , when Mu Qing finally stopped, the Xichuan City he passed had turned into a hazy light and shadow, leaving only the Qingxi River and the wine shop in front of him.
Mu Qing looked at the man in front of the wine shop, walked to him with heavy steps, and asked: "Are you the city lord Xichuan?"
Du Qingquan smiled and nodded: "The name I used when I steamed and brewed the first pot of wine is not a lie."
Mu Qing frowned and asked, "Is this still my dream?"
Du Qingquan looked at Mu Qing quietly, with a bit of emotion and desolation on his face, "A great dream, this is also my dream."
Mu Qing understood a lot of things, "Then she..."
Du Qingquan said: "Since Taoist friends have overcome the confusion in their hearts, why do they need to look back?"
Mu Qing pursed his lips and nodded silently.
Du Qingquan smiled and said: "That guy from Wushan was not honest in my dream. Otherwise, even if you find it strange, you wouldn't be able to understand the true meaning here so quickly."
Mu Qing frowned and said, "What will happen if I leave forcibly?"
Du Qingquan smiled, shook his head and said: "I don't know that I am a guest in the dream. My fellow Taoist will probably run away forever and not be able to escape."
Mu Qing snorted coldly: "I only have one last question left, where is she?"
Du Qingquan's smile faded slightly: "The truth is also false when it is fake. Xichuan City will always welcome children returning home."
Seeing Du Qingquan's figure fade away, Mu Qing hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, but suffered the pain of being stripped away from his consciousness again, his vision went dark, and he fainted.
