"Sir, this is Yingzhou Island. If we go further, we will reach the misty sea area." One day later, Lu Yongsi came to Gu Xu's cabin and said to him respectfully, "We are of low cultivation and dare not move forward. We can only follow the agreement and say goodbye."
Gu Xu nodded and expressed his gratitude to Lu Yongsi for his recent hospitality.
Then without wasting a second, he activated the "astrolabe" and disappeared with a "whoosh" sound.
Lu Yongsi was left standing there, looking at the place where he disappeared and making a sound.
At this moment, all the captain could think about was: "Why is there such a huge gap between us, both monks in the fourth realm?"
…………
A moment later, Gu Xu appeared on the sea a hundred miles away in a narrow wooden boat.
This small boat was drawn by him using talismans and was driven by true energy.
And the little white-haired man who called himself the "Weapon Spirit" was finally released after being locked up for a period of time. He was sitting cross-legged on the surface of the "astrology chart" in Gu Xu's hand, looking around curiously. .
"The fog on this sea area is not an ordinary fog," the white-haired man introduced to Gu Xu after seeing the surrounding environment clearly. Judging from the way he shook his head, he seemed to be showing off his knowledge. “It can make people lose their sense of direction, see extremely confusing illusions, and then get lost in them, unable to extricate themselves, and eventually be swallowed by it and become its nourishment.
"Master, you must stick to your heart and don't be deceived by it."
"I know." Gu Xu said calmly while reciting the "Pure Heart Mantra".
At this moment, the small apartment where he lived in his previous life appeared in his vision - his parents were holding mobile phones, eyes red, pacing back and forth anxiously, asking people everywhere for the whereabouts of their missing son.
Gu Xu's heart was filled with ups and downs.
Even if he has far more willpower than ordinary people, when he sees such a scene, he has to say to himself "this is all fake" over and over again, in order to control himself to sit still on the boat instead of jumping on the boat. Go up and shout to your parents: "Dad, Mom, I'm here!"
"This fog is much more dangerous than I imagined." He sighed from the bottom of his heart.
After a few seconds, the scene in front of him quietly changed.
What emerged before his eyes were the bustling streets of Luojing City.
Zhao Changying did not rebel, the ghosts did not break into the "Tianlong Formation", and he did not become a traitor in the eyes of Emperor Tianxing.
He is still the pride of heaven that attracts everyone's attention. He won the crown at the "Luoshui Conference" and everyone watching was shouting his name.
Shi Xiaohan, wearing a light pink skirt and exquisite embroidered shoes, walked through the dense crowd and walked towards him like a small animal, jumping up and down, her crystal white earlobes slightly red.
"In three days, it will be our wedding," she stepped forward and grabbed Gu Xu's sleeve, lowered her head and whispered shyly, "Chen Xi recently let me read a few picture albums, which are... about... ...Hmm, can you be a little gentler when we get married that night?"
Seeing her like this, Gu Xu had the urge to bully her again.
"This is all false, this is all false, this is all false..."
He chanted it over and over again like a mantra.
The picture changes again.
He found himself in the Imperial City of Daqi, surrounded by red walls and yellow tiles, and was magnificent.
He saw a man in a yellow robe lying on the ground dying with bruises all over his body, looking at him with resentful and fearful eyes.
Although Gu Xu had never seen the other person before, he recognized at a glance that this person was Emperor Tianxing - the "Tai'a Sword" in his hand was broken into two pieces, and it no longer had the momentum of the "No. 1 Weapon in the Wilderness" in the past.
At the same time, Gu Xu faintly felt that his body was stronger than imagined, and it seemed that he could crush boulders with just his fists.
"Is this the body of the legendary saint?" he thought.
The shadow that had been lingering in his heart for a long time suddenly dissipated, and he suddenly felt filled with joy. A better life in the future seemed to be beckoning to him. He no longer needs
Instead of worrying about longevity, he can enjoy the happiness of the moment...
"Wake up, this is all fake!"
The remaining rationality in his heart roared at the top of his lungs.
Gu Xu suddenly came back to his senses, feeling relieved.
…………
In this way, Gu Xu drifted for a long time in the mist without any danger, and he didn't know how far he had drifted.
He finally understood why Lu Yongsi and others were so disdainful of this area and took a detour.
Turns out it's really, really scary.
It seems to be able to read the deepest desire in a person's heart, or the regret that he most wants to make up for, and manifest it into a dream that he doesn't want to wake up from.
Even a person like Gu Xu, who has always been determined, will find it difficult to extricate himself when faced with such an illusion, hoping that it will become a reality.
Gu Xu took a deep breath, lowered his head, and saw that the little white-haired man on the "astrology chart" seemed to be immersed in the illusion.
Sometimes he puts his hands on his hips, looking majestic and leering in all directions, sometimes he falls down, sighing and reminiscing about the past.
"Wake up."
Gu Xu tapped twice on the "astrolabe".
The white-haired man showed an impatient expression: "Don't disturb me. Didn't you see that I was drinking wine with a beauty and admiring the moon?"
After saying that, he pouted and kissed the air.
Gu Xu shook his head helplessly.
This white-haired villain has a face exactly like his, but he is a pervert.
This made him feel very uncomfortable.
He gathered his spiritual power again and poked the white-haired villain.
This time, the white-haired villain could no longer think of building a barrier to block his attack.
"Hey young!"
He groaned in pain when he was stabbed by Gu Xu, jumped up from the surface of the "Astrolabe", jumped a few inches high, and then fell back lightly.
"Isn't it pleasant to daydream?" Gu Xu looked at him with meaningful eyes.
The white-haired man looked around and let out a long sigh.
"Why did you wake me up?" He said gloomily, "Just now I was fighting with the emperor in all directions, and I was about to unify the upper world, but you interrupted me——"
"——Haha, fighting in all directions?" Gu Xu smiled half-heartedly, "Are you fighting against beauties?"
"Alas, you still figured it out." The white-haired man was dejected.
As a weapon spirit, he was unable to stay awake in the mist and illusion. This seemed to embarrass him.
"Look, the waterfall is coming!"
Gu Xu stopped joking with him and pointed forward.
The surrounding fog gradually cleared away.
The water has also become more turbulent.
Ahead, the dark blue sea that was originally invisible suddenly ended. The gray-blue sky almost occupied their entire field of vision.
Even though he couldn't see the waterfall.
But the rumbling sound of water falling from a high altitude shook the sky and made his eardrums hurt.
A fear of the unknown arose in his heart.
"We all call this place "Guixu". "I heard the weapon spirit say quietly.
