Xiang Shu quickly concealed his surprise and started walking along with the flow of people in the market, while calmly looking at the shops on both sides of the street.
It was noon at this time, but there were many customers in the shop. The boys were walking among the customers, constantly selling, and the smiles on their faces were vivid.
It was clearly a lively and prosperous scene. When Xiang Shen saw it, a chill filled his heart.
She pursed her lips tightly and walked quickly through the crowd to the south of the town. Before she reached the street corner, she saw a large locust tree with lush leaves in the distance.
There is a well under the tree, but it is not a dry well. From time to time, women come to fetch water and return to the house for cooking.
Crossing the dry well, Xiang Shu soon saw a ruined temple.
A little beggar was boiling medicine at the entrance of the ruined temple.
As if he sensed someone coming, he turned around and saw Xiang Shen. He immediately looked frightened and hurriedly got up and ran towards the temple.
"Grandpa Medicine Master, there are sisters coming from outside, they are like fairies..."
Not long after, an old pharmacist in simple clothes hurried to the door of the ruined temple with the support of a little beggar.
The old pharmacist saw that Chuan was dressed in an extraordinary way and had a slightly stern look on his face. He stepped forward and cautiously held his hands in his hands and said:
"The heroine looked strange and came here...but she was injured and needs bandaging?"
Xiang Shu looked at the "Tianlong layman" in front of him, feeling cold in his heart, but on the surface he shook his head and smiled:
"I misunderstood, my little girl just came to your place for the first time and was just wandering around."
The old pharmacist suddenly understood, and immediately said sheepishly: "This medicine hall is full of poor families who come to see doctors. It is dirty and shabby, so it is not easy to entertain girls."
"My father-in-law said something serious. It's the little girl who came to the door rashly and disturbed my father-in-law's peace and quiet."
Xiang Shen looked apologetic, and then said: "My surname is Shen, and my given name only has the character Xiang. I don't know the taboo for my father-in-law's name?"
The old pharmacist chuckled, "My surname is Xue and my first name is Xue Yao."
"It turns out to be Mr. Xue."
He bowed his hands to Shu and expressed his admiration: "Mr.
The old pharmacist blushed a little when he was praised, and waved his hands repeatedly: "I just tried my best, but I don't deserve such high praise from the girl."
Xiang Shu smiled slightly and said, "The little lady wants to go shopping elsewhere, so I won't bother you any more." xь.
After saying that, Xiang Shu turned and left.
Xue Yao looked at her leaving back, with a rare trace of doubt in his vicissitudes of life, and muttered: "I really came here to chat..."
"Grandpa Medicine Master, that sister is so beautiful." The little beggar's face turned red.
Xue Yao smiled and thought of teasing: "Then grandpa asked you, is she beautiful? Or is it your sister Jiu Shu?"
The little beggar immediately opened his eyes wide and said righteously and against his will: "Of course Sister Jiu Shu is more beautiful!"
Xue Yao suddenly laughed and led the little beggar back to the ruined temple.
Xiang Shen clearly didn't go far, but he didn't hear the conversation between Xue Yao and the little beggar behind him.
She walked around the town and came to a familiar inn.
The waiter at the inn greeted him enthusiastically, "This heroine, please come in quickly. May I ask whether you are a top-notch person or staying in a hotel?"
Xiang Shen pursed his lips and said, "Let's have a table of food and wine."
"okay!"
After a while, the food and wine were served.
She sat in the same seat, drinking her drink slowly and waiting patiently.
Not long after, two familiar scholars came over and sat down at the next table.
The content of the discussion was completely different from last time. It was all about the bitterness of "it's hard to study" and "it's hard to earn fame".
Xiang Shen listened for a moment, lost his patience, dropped a piece of broken silver and left.
She returned to the street, her eyes scanning the faces that passed her.
This is the third time she has fallen into such a fantasy.
The first time was on the way here, and I fell into it unknowingly. After I got out of the trap, I entered the mysterious valley.
The second time, he was forcefully pulled in by the giant snake demon.
Three illusions, one here
House to house, brick to tile, are the same.
The only difference is the people.
Most of the people walking on this street have been seen in her previous fantasy.
But the people here are more like living people.
Even the "Tianlong layman" who appeared at the auction had an imperceptible stiffness in his words and deeds, which was far less lively than the "Old Pharmacist Xue Yao".
It's like really living.
It was also because the illusion was too real, without any flaws, that she didn't know how to break it for a moment.
"That's all, let's take it one step at a time."
Xiang Shu shook his head slightly to shake away his distracting thoughts, and walked two more times along the streets and alleys, memorizing the layout of the town in his mind, and finally stopped at a "Cheng Ji" tea stall on the street.
The tea stall was opened by a simple-looking woman. Xiang Shuan inexplicably thought of Widow Wang in Dushuicheng, and his brows unconsciously felt a little softer.
The tea stall was deserted. When the woman saw that she was well-dressed, she immediately wiped her hands and enthusiastically came over with a blue and white teapot: "I, Cheng Ji, exclusively made a new strong tea. It costs 300 yuan a pot. Would you like to have a taste?"
Xiang Shu was confident and nodded.
The woman immediately beamed with joy and enthusiastically came over to pour it for Xiang Shu.
The tea was brownish in color. Xiang Shu picked up the tea cup and took a sip, frowning slightly. In her entire life, she had never drank such awful tea.
No wonder there is no one at this tea stall.
Putting down the teacup, Xiang Shu looked up and saw the woman looking at him with a look of helplessness on her face.
She was silent, then finally took out a piece of silver and handed it over.
"No need to look for it."
As soon as these words came out, the woman's eyes lit up and she immediately took the broken silver.
"Oh! Girl, you are such a kind person!"
"Girl, you are so well-born. You look like you are destined to be rich and powerful..."
The woman said a lot of auspicious words, and she didn't leave happily until she handed another piece of broken silver to Xiang Shu.
After sending the woman away, Xiang Shu lowered his head and looked at the tea leaves swirling in the tea, his eyes looking thoughtful.
There are about tens of thousands of monks who have died in the eight secret realms, which is completely out of proportion to the number of monks who entered this place.
She checked the corpses one by one without landing, but did not see Jiang Yi and his party.
There were no signs of fighting or anyone walking in the underground labyrinth corridor outside the study.
The collection of various clues allowed her to conclude that in addition to the eight secret realms, the Abyssal Snake Clan's lair also had dangerous places.
Other monks and Jiang Yi might be trapped in it.
But I didn't expect that the dangerous situation behind the door would be this illusion.
She just walked around and didn't see any of the monks on this trip.
In the entire illusion, apart from the people derived from the illusion itself, she was the only living person.
Others may be like her now, trapped alone in the fantasy of a small town and unable to extricate themselves...
While thinking, time passed quickly.
It wasn't until the woman came to take away the cold tea that Xiang Shu came back to his senses. He looked up and saw the setting sun and the lanterns coming on.
She actually sat here for a whole hour.
The woman seemed to be afraid of asking for her money back, so she took away the tea bowl and hid somewhere in a short time.
Xiang Shu glanced around, but saw no one, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It's obviously just an illusion...
She shook her head, put away her distracting thoughts, got up and walked towards the main street.
There seems to be a lantern festival today. The main street is more lively at night than during the day. There are people everywhere, shouting and selling, children laughing and cheering.
Xiang Shu walked out of the alley and noticed a young couple in the distance who were guessing lantern riddles.
The woman looked shy and covered her mouth with a smile. The man next to her had gentle eyebrows and full of admiration.
Looking far away, at the candy man's shop, the craftsman made a rabbit in a few seconds. The little girl in front of the shop, with bright eyes, pointed at the candy man and kept shaking her mother's arm...
walking
While walking, Xiang Shu actually felt a little dazed.
The thought that I had suppressed just now came to my mind again.
She actually had the illusion that the scene in front of her had really happened.
"No matter how real the illusion is, it is still an illusion..."
Taking a deep breath, Xiang Shu's eyes regained clarity, and he took two more steps. Suddenly, amidst the laughter, he vaguely heard a childish cry.
Her heart moved slightly, and she followed the sound through the crowd.
Not long after, a girl wearing a bright red brocade coat came into view.
The girl was born fair and delicate, with a hazy jade light surrounding her body.
Her watery eyes were full of helplessness and grievance, and she cried while walking in the light:
"Mother...mother..."
"Mom, don't you want Xiaobao? Wuwu..."
"Mom, where have you been, Mom..."
Xiang Shu glanced at the pedestrians around him and frowned slightly.
No one seemed to be able to see the girl except her.
Monk's method?
She clenched her palms.
The "ancestral seal" mark on the palm of his hand became even hotter.
Is this girl dangerous?
Or... is this girl a member of the same clan as Si Wuyue, the ancient clan?
However, this cultivation star is extremely remote. It is an unknown distance away from the Lengzhuhai of Si Wuyue, let alone the ancient clan’s base camp. How could the ancient clan exist...
All kinds of thoughts passed through her mind, and she finally walked forward and stopped in front of the girl.
With tears hanging from the corners of the girl's eyes, when she saw someone stopping in front of her, she immediately opened her eyes wide and looked at Xiang Shu, and asked stiffly: "Sister, can you see me?"
Xiang Shen nodded slightly and asked warmly: "You can't find your home?" Xiu Shu.com
The girl nodded repeatedly and looked at Xiang Shu pleadingly: "My home is on Guijiu Street, Qiong Lane. My mother abandoned me, and I...I can't find my way back.
I...I wanted to find someone to ask, but no matter how I asked, they ignored me. Big sister, can you help me..."
At this point, the girl was so aggrieved that she burst into tears.
Xiang Shu looked at the girl, was silent for a moment, and sighed softly.
That's all, I don't know how to get out of trouble, so why not use this girl's relationship to find out more.
"Stop crying, I'll take you home."
She wiped the tears from the girl's eyes, picked up the girl and walked towards Qiong Lane.
Qiong Lane is not far from the main street, but the alleyways are winding and difficult to find for children.
A moment later, Xiang Shu stood at Guijiu Street, Qiong Lane, holding the girl in his arms.
When the girl returned to a familiar place, she immediately became energetic. She quickly led Xiang Shu to her door and knocked on the door.
Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps inside.
With a soft "squeak" sound, the courtyard door opened from inside.
A tall, ordinary-looking man in green clothes walked out.
