This palace complex seems to be a teaching palace within the Qionghua Sect, and the Chuan Gong Hall is the central hub of this area. Under the 100-meter staircase is a huge flat square, connected to the teaching halls all around. .
Looking far away, one can see many disciples wearing light green clothes walking under the eaves of these halls.
Threes and twos hang out together, chatting, laughing and feasting, which is extremely lively.
Xu Yuan was not in a hurry to go down.
With the advanced cultivation of the body, even if they are far away, they can still hear the conversations of these people with concentration.
The content is fragmented and complex.
Some people were talking about trivial matters in life, some were talking about skills and secrets, and there were even some male disciples gathering together to talk about some beautiful female disciples and spiritual puppets.
There are all kinds of things in the world, as if you are really in the prosperous Qionghua Immortal Sect thousands of years ago!
Xu Yuan hesitated slightly and asked through a voice message to the girl next to him:
"Tian Yan, is this mountain gate really an illusion?"
It's all too real.
Tian Yan glanced at him and said softly:
"Nature is illusory, and everything in the illusion of selflessness is extremely real."
"Illusion of selflessness?"
Xu Yuan frowned and asked:
"You and I are both conscious. Isn't this the illusion of the self?"
The difference between the illusion of selflessness and the illusion of self is similar to the difference between lucid dream and trance dream when a mortal falls asleep.
Tian Yan’s eyes were calm and he replied in a low voice:
"This is indeed a self-forgetting illusion. I am because the Divine Soul Chapter of Yan Tian Jue is not affected by self-forgetting. As for you."
Speaking of this, she looked at him up and down, counted his breaths, and shook her head:
"I'm not sure why you're not affected by Forgetfulness."
After saying that,
The look in Tian Yan's beautiful golden eyes was a bit regretful.
If Xu Yuan is deeply selfless, then she can do whatever she wants and use the time in this illusion to completely set an anchor on him.
When Xu Yuan heard this, he had already made some assumptions in his mind.
Presumably, his ability to escape from selflessness was probably due to the influence of the cherry blossom mark between his eyebrows.
Tian Yan had no intention of delving into this matter, because she knew that she wouldn't tell this bastard if she delved into it.
After a pause,
She stared at the Qionghua disciples coming and going below her, and continued to talk to herself:
"Although the illusion of selflessness is real, these people will only move forward according to the future set by the caster, and will not have any reaction to you and me."
As he spoke, Tian Yan's cold voice carried a hint of emotion:
"They are just replaying certain scenes from thousands of years ago before our eyes."
After saying that, Tian Yan shook his head slightly and walked up the stairs.
"."
Xu Yuan was silent.
He thought that these disciples of the sect who had been dead for thousands of years would respond to their actions like real people.
But Tian Yan’s words also make sense.
There are more than tens of thousands of disciples in the mountain sect here. If all of them have self-awareness, then who is controlling these self-awarenesses?
Here, there is no artificially retarded AI from the previous life.
Even so, Xu Yuan still carefully controlled his mind and soul to probe out to verify Tian Yan's statement.
Very simple verification method,
If he uses his mind and spirit to detect the disciples below in an upright manner, if the other party does not respond, what Tian Yan said is true, and if there is a response, then the opposite is true.
After counting the interest,
Xu Yuanyin called Tian Yan with a sullen face:
"Tianyan."
"Huh?" Tian Yan paused.
"Are you sure this is an illusion of selflessness?"
"Um."
"Are you also sure that the people in the selfless illusion will not react to our actions?"
"nature."
Tian Yan's eyes were a little confused, and he didn't quite understand why Xu Yuan suddenly had this problem.
Xu Yuan ignored her, but bowed his hands toward the distance with an apologetic look, and sent out a message.
Because of Yan Tian Jue, Tian Yan heard what Xu Yuan said:
"Sorry, no offense intended."
Doubtful in her heart, following his gaze, the girl's golden pupils shrank slightly.
In the distance, they saw a man in plain clothes walking alone on the Academy Square, stopping to look at them with doubtful eyes.
After hearing Xu Yuan's apologetic voice message, the man hesitated slightly, nodded, bowed his hand in return and replied via voice message:
"Senior Brother Jinghe is out, it's just a trivial matter."
Xu Yuan's heart condensed.
Even though his appearance was different, this Qionghua Sect disciple regarded him as the "Jinghe" from thousands of years ago.
It should be the Jinghe who first spoke of Jinghe.
But immediately, Xu Yuan looked back at Tian Yan with deep meaning.
Seeing this scene, Tian Yan was silent, his thoughts surging in his heart.
The illusion here was completely different from the selfless illusion she knew!
in silence,
Xu Yuan patted her injured left shoulder hard, kept a calm expression, and walked down.
Tian Yan recovered from the pain, took a deep breath, and quickly followed.
There are too many people here to talk about things.
As the two of them walked into the huge square below,
The male and female disciples around them all paid attention to them, and some of them even chatted a few words about "Xu Yuan" with their companions.
And thanks to these exchanges, Xu Yuan had a rough understanding of Jinghe's position within the Qionghua Sect.
Among the second-generation disciples, there is an unparalleled genius, a man of influence in the mountain sect, and a childhood sweetheart who looks like a fairy. I think it should be "Yu Chu".
Along the way, Xu Yuan watched and listened in all directions, silently collecting information about his identity from the people around him. After all, in this illusion, he had no memory at all.
When he walked to one of the exits of Mintian Academy, a group of beautiful ladies in bright clothes and angry horses came towards him.
Four men and three women.
The clothing of their group is completely different from that of ordinary disciples. They all wear luxurious clothes and brocade robes, and have cloud-flowing boots. Their auras are not weak. They must all be geniuses within the Qionghua Sect.
This group of people obviously knew "Xu Yuan". After seeing him, they immediately greeted him with smiles.
"Jinghe, I finally found you. I heard from my father that Senior Brother Li has returned from traveling today and is already in the Qionghua Palace."
"Hehe, we haven't seen each other for more than a year. We are going to take care of him. We will go to Shanxia Haiweiju for a gathering tonight, and Bai Fan will be our host."
"You pushed it away last time when Tang Jiuqing celebrated his birthday. You can't push it away anymore today. You're the only one who's absent from my friends every time."
Several people gathered around, saying something to each other, and almost carried Xu Yuan away.
Xu Yuansi felt that this was a good place to get information, but he was a little hesitant.
After all, he didn't know the last names of the people in front of him, and it was very likely that the secret would be exposed when talking about the past.
While hesitating,
One of the sweet girls wearing light blue gauze with her belly exposed suddenly smiled and said:
"Yes, brother Jinghe, why don't you take sister Tianyan with you?"
"."
Xu Yuan's eyes froze.
The girl in blue seemed to have said something outrageous.
With a dull expression, he glanced back at Tian Yan, who had been pretending to be mute.
Tian Yan blinked his beautiful eyes, coughed lightly, then immediately said with a smile:
"I don't have a problem with that."
"Did you hear that? Tian Yan has already agreed. You can't use her as an excuse anymore."
"This matter has been settled. We will meet here at Mintian Academy at four o'clock tonight. See you there."
After saying that, the group of people seemed to be afraid of Xu Yuan's rejection, so they immediately dispersed.
"."
Watching this group of friends go away,
Xu Yuan was slightly silent, still not in a hurry to ask, turned around and continued walking out.
After passing the entrance and exit of the academy, you will see several winding mountain roads with steps.
There are three roads leading up the mountain, down the mountain, and ahead.
The stone steps are hidden in the lush mountain forest, and the sunlight shines through the canopy of the trees. During the summer, the cicadas and birds are constantly chirping, filled with the unique earthy fragrance of the mountain forest, and the winding paths lead to secluded areas.
Xu Yuan chose one of them and moved forward, while Tian Yan followed him silently.
The atmosphere of silence and depression continued to spread between the two.
Finally, the two of them stopped by a mountain stream where birds were singing and flowers were fragrant.
There are green grass on both sides of the creek, and a pavilion stands quietly in an open space surrounded by woods.
Xu Yuan paused and pointed to the pavilion, indicating where to rest.
There are stone tables and chairs in the pavilion, and the mountain breeze blows, and the long hair is slightly fluttering.
Xu Yuan sat on the stone chair and said nothing, just staring at Tian Yan.
And under his gaze,
After a while,
Tian Yan took the initiative and whispered:
"These disciples probably called me by my name because when I was forcibly dragged into this illusion, my Yantian soul tore apart part of the illusion soul."
"What's the meaning?"
"You don't even know this?"
"Do not talk nonsense."
"."
Tian Yan curled his lips and did not hide anything on this matter, whispering:
"To put it simply, because of the Heaven-Evolving Technique, my soul can withstand most of the ecstasy illusions in the world."
When Xu Yuan heard this, there was a hint of thoughtfulness in his eyes.
He recalled the previous scene where Tian Yan found the exit while strolling in the ecstasy corridor.
Tian Yan seemed to have guessed his thoughts and smiled at him:
"There is a process of being enchanted by a fantasy, just like the selfless fantasy we are in now.
“The first step it takes to lure people into a fantasy is to temporarily erase other people’s consciousness of autonomy, because only in this way can they be stuffed into a certain identity in the fantasy without knowing it, and sink endlessly in the fantasy.
"And my soul can keep me awake all the time, so I have been trying to break away from the first step of pulling people into the illusion. Although I failed in the end, I still destroyed part of the illusion."
"My current identity and status are probably the result of the woman in red trying to make amends for this part of the destroyed illusion."
"."
Xu Yuan listened carefully and suppressed the surging thoughts in his heart.
The effect of Yan Tian Jue is so terrifying that even the illusion of the Charming Tree Spirit can resist it?
Taking a slight breath, Xu Yuan asked softly:
"What did you destroy in this illusion?"
Tian Yan raised his head and pursed his lips, smiling playfully:
"It's probably my current identity, which seems to be called "Wang Yuchu". I originally thought that by destroying this identity, I could condense my original strength in this illusion, but unfortunately it failed."
Xu Yuan listened silently and asked the question he was most concerned about before:
"Okay, then why do the characters in the fantasy here react to our actions?"
Tian Yan shook his little head and whispered:
“I don’t know, the illusion here is beyond my knowledge.
"This place is like a world of its own. According to common sense, no one's soul power can afford such a huge consumption."
Everything in this world has its own mechanism, and nothing can happen just by clapping your hands and shouting.
After thinking for a while, Xu Yuan reminded:
"This is an illusion created by the Charming Tree Spirit."
"ah?"
Tian Yan was obviously stunned for a moment: "There is no way that the Charming Cherry Tree has a tree spirit."
This kind of sacred tree has been strictly monitored by the sect from ancient times to the present. Even if the aura spirit monster is refined, it will never be allowed to have independent consciousness.
Xu Yuan was also stunned for a moment. He thought Tian Yan knew about this:
"You were fighting for so long before, but you didn't know that the woman in red was the Charming Tree Spirit?"
"." Tian Yan.
The illusion of the charming tree spirit.
Putting it this way, no wonder the soul body of the mad woman in red was able to use the dojo, and no wonder she was able to activate the magic flower in her body at the last moment.
Thinking of this,
Tian Yan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Xu Yuan, clenching his fists:
"Xu Changtian, you know that woman is the Charming Tree Spirit and yet you gave me the Charming Flower?"
"."
Look at each other for a second,
Xu Yuan looked slightly embarrassed and coughed lightly:
"Ahem, isn't she crazy? Who knows she will wake up in the end."
After saying that,
Xu Yuan directly brought the topic back on track and said:
"Is there any way you can get out of this illusion of the Charming Tree Spirit?"
Tian Yan's chest rose and fell for a while, he pondered slightly and regained his composure:
"If it is an illusion created by the Charming Tree Spirit, then I really don't know how to get out because there is no record."
Xu Yuan frowned:
"In other words, our cooperation ends here?"
All cooperation between the two is based on the premise that Tian Yan can take him out.
Tian Yan didn't waver much, he just said:
"Actually, you should be glad that you couldn't kill me in the hall just now. The characters in this fantasy world will react accordingly to our actions. If you kill me, it will naturally attract their attention. I think between us The relationship between us should be changed."
Saying,
Tian Yan smiled sweetly at him:
"After all, I am your childhood sweetheart now, Jinghe."
"."
Xu Yuan stared at Tian Yan, his eyes flickering.
Tian Yan just stared at him with a smile.
The sun shines along the angled eaves of the pavilion and shines beautifully on her fair skin.
Count your breaths quietly,
Xu Yuan suddenly smiled softly.
Seeing his smile, Tian Yan felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
"Tian Yan, do you know?"
Xu Yuan stared at Tian Yan and asked with a smile: "You instigated Ran Qingmo to kidnap me. She taught me one thing during that journey. Do you want to know what it is?"
"."
Tian Yan shrank back slightly:
"I don't want to know, we still..."
"No, I thought you wanted to know."
Xu Yuan shook his head, raised his hand, and as his energy surged, he pulled the girl across from him and looked into her eyes:
"Just because you can't kill, doesn't mean you can't move."
"We are childhood sweethearts, and we are in a sect as romantic as Qionghua Sect, haha."
Saying,
He gently stopped the girl's graceful and boneless waist.
As soon as their bodies came into contact, patches of flush immediately appeared on Tian Yan's fair face.
Because of the Enchanting Flower and Tianyu Mei Poison, even if the Divine Soul Chapter of Tianzi Mantra and Yantian Jue suppress the effects of the medicine, she is still on the edge of being overwhelmed at any time.
Tian Yan’s eyes remained clear:
"Xu Changtian, I advise you not to do this."
Xu Yuan didn't say anything, just held her in red clothes and sat on his lap, and asked casually:
"Tian Yan, before you came to me, didn't you investigate my past affairs?"
"."
The golden pupils in Tian Yan's beautiful eyes shrank slightly, and he suddenly remembered that the man in front of him was a lustful evil spirit.
My heart swayed slightly.
Her voice was cold, but her speaking speed was gradually increasing:
"Let me go. I just don't know how to get out of this illusion. As long as it is an illusion, there must be a source. If I find the source, I will have a way to break out of the illusion."
"Ah."
Xu Yuan chuckled lightly and put down the blushing Tian Yan without being overly humiliated:
"This is the last time, let's talk about tonight's gathering."
