Qiong also let out a long yawn. Seeing the bonfire burn out, everyone returned to the tent to sleep peacefully.
A large bed was laid out in the tent, and the Rong people did not seem to pay attention to the so-called distinction between men and women in the Chinese people, but Qiong was not able to accept sleeping head-to-head or tail-to-tail, especially in the same room with many rough men.
So she wrapped herself in a quilt and went to a corner of the tent, twisted it into a small circle, and began to take a nap. She felt dazedly, as if she was being held by something, and the next moment she was suddenly pushed away from her. The force was so strong that she woke up from her semi-sleep state.
She looked at the palm of her hand doubtfully, but saw nothing wrong. The people on the big street in front were sleeping peacefully, the barrier was there, and there was only the sound of wind in the vast grassland.
Maybe it was a dream. She buried her head in her knees and thought.

Standing in front of Sheng Xuanyuan was a person exactly like him.
He also seemed to see the visitor, stretched out his hand to greet him kindly, and said with a smile: "You are here."
It was so weird that a person with his own face greeted him. Sheng Xuanyuan subconsciously took half a step back. If this person wasn't a mirror image, he would even wonder if someone had set up a bronze mirror that was too clear here.
This person's appearance, clothes, sword and even voice were all the same as his own, but the smile on his face was too bright and natural, which gave Sheng Xuanyuan a great sense of separation.
He thought to himself: It is really an illusion.
"It's not an illusion." "Sheng Xuanyuan" in front of him smiled and said, "I do exist."
Sheng Xuanyuan half nodded, letting the hair hanging from his forehead block his vision: "Do you know what I'm thinking?" His tone was calm, with only a hint of surprise and wariness.
He replied: "Of course I know what 'I' am thinking."
Sheng Xuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked away from the fake object. He had no intention of negotiating with the illusory creation. After looking around, he found no other way.
"Sheng Xuanyuan" observed the visitor for a long time, and when he saw that his attention was not on him at all, he sighed with some disappointment: "Don't you want to chat with me for a few words?"
"Not interested in."
"That's it."
Sheng Xuanyuan ignored him and walked forward, but he raised his hand to stop him: "If I invite Qiong Yi here, wouldn't you be interested?" The fake smiled lightly, it was obviously his own His face looked strange when he smiled in front of her. Sheng Xuanyuan shook his hand away and was about to blurt out: "No." Suddenly, he remembered the weird handshake just now, and his words were choked in his throat.
He still didn't believe that the person in front of him was not an illusion, and he didn't want to see Qiong Yi's fake, so he changed his tune and said coldly: "No need."
"Sheng Xuanyuan" felt helpless: "Okay. I don't want to involve her either."
Hearing him speak so kindly and considerately, Sheng Xuanyuan sneered, walked around him and strode forward, "Sheng Xuanyuan" crossed his arms and said lightly: "As for you, you are just afraid."
Sheng Xuanyuan did not stop or look back: "You talk a lot."
"No one says 'I' can't say much, except for the shabby rules you set for yourself."
Sheng Xuanyuan frowned slightly, and he continued behind him: "If I hadn't known that you were me, I would have thought that I had met my young second brother."
The familiar voice rose high and reached my ears, like a needle piercing it.
Sheng Xuanyuan stopped.
He said with a smile: "You play the second brother very much like him."
The next moment, the Chengying Sword pierced through the air, pointing directly at his chest. Sheng Xuanyuan had a sullen look on his face, and he said coldly, "You are heartbroken."
"No, I'm just me." "Sheng Xuanyuan" used the Chengying sword scabbard in his hand to block the cold light, with an indifferent expression: "You are no longer there a long time ago."
"Shut up." Sheng Xuanyuan's breathing was a little heavy, and he blurted out to refute him. He swung his sword and slashed away, and the man retreated, widening the distance.
"Aren't you most afraid that Qiong Yi will find out about this? When she and you talked at night and talked to each other, when she faced you calmly, you kept wearing your mask and hiding it from her. If she knew Will she still love you when you imitate your second brother in your words and deeds? Will she choose to love a fake or the original owner?"
Sheng Xuanyuan held Cheng Ying's hand, veins popping out.
"She is such an open and honest person, but she was deceived by you who did everything against her will. She mistakenly thought you understood her, but in fact she just let her go. You planned her to get engaged and tie her to you. If she really knew You actually still want to tie her in your arms for the rest of your life, will you just push her away like you did before?"
"That's enough!" Sheng Xuanyuan came forward with his sword, and he himself in front of him also drew his sword and fought against him.
The shadows of swords crisscrossed each other, and the words continued amidst the sound of swords:
"You should have known that as far as the family is concerned, you are just a substitute who exists to maintain the family rules. As far as the person you love is concerned, you have been deceiving her from the beginning to the end. As far as the friends are concerned, you are worthless. none."
He chuckled, "How sad."
Hearing his words with his own ears, Sheng Xuanyuan's heart and lungs hurt. For a moment, he didn't know if the words were spoken by the person in front of him or if he was talking to himself. His breathing became faster and faster, as if thousands of sword lights were piercing his heart. Above, the sword pierced through, followed by self-loathing and self-doubt.
In fact, he, no, it should be said that it was himself, was not wrong. Because the second brother's five senses were incomplete and could not be appointed to suppress evil spirits, he was born as a substitute. Ever since he could remember, everyone in the clan said that he was born to get rid of ghosts and evil spirits, as if he only existed for this purpose in this life.
For Qiong Yi, I have long been more than just envious of her freedom and freedom. I have deep feelings for her. Now I am not willing to let go, but because I know that I can't keep her.
Su Ye and Yan Tingshen, when I walked with them, kept silent and indifferent for a long time. Maybe they could talk more happily without him, right?
Sheng Xuanyuan lowered his eyes, and his mood became even lower. Because the self in front of him said that his score was perfect, he could be more confident that the self in front of him was a mental block.

"Xuan Grudge?"
Yan Tingshen stretched out his hand and stopped in mid-air. He didn't hear a reply for a long time. He instantly realized that Sheng Xuanyuan had disappeared like Su Ye.
The first stage of Chuanze is the calamity of inner demons.
Before coming here, he asked Su Liming, and Su Liming told him this.
So when he went deep into the thick fog, Yan Ting thought that he was ready.
But when the white fog in front of him dissipated and the picture emerged, he realized that the so-called preparation had no effect at all.
He was clearly familiar with the dilapidated thatched house in front of him, but when he saw it again, it was as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on him, chilling him from head to toe. He did not want to recall the days he spent in this shabby house, dependent on his mother and bullied by others.
Yan Tingshen walked slowly into the house. He just wanted to see her again. Sure enough, there was a woman sitting in the house. At this time, her appearance was still young. She was his mother, Yan Huaiyin. At the same time, he saw himself nestled next to his mother-in-law, ignorant and young, but looking innocent.
Yan Tingshen raised his hand and passed through them, unable to touch, it was a complete illusion.
Do you want me to experience this fantasy again?
I still want me to be a bystander and witness once again how step by step my mother and I ended up where we are today, separated forever. Do you want me to see how I became a pawn?
Is this all my inner demons?
Yan Tingshen laughed for no reason. He folded his hands seriously and watched coldly from one side. He regarded the past as a theater and watched it leisurely. Everything had been settled, only the remaining chess pieces were not full, so he was not afraid.

When Su Ye realized that Sheng Xuanyuan and Yan Tingshen had disappeared, he had already walked out of the fog and walked back to Daze Bridge.
Su Min did not leave, but looked at him calmly from the bank, as if he had already guessed that this would happen.
Su Ye looked back at the smoky water and said angrily: "Ah? Why is it still like this?!"
This is not the first time he has entered the "Chuanze" forbidden area. When he was young, Su Ye and his fellow disciples accidentally broke in here. Those people were trapped in the secret realm due to mental barriers, and only he walked away easily. After coming out, it was from that time that Su Ye realized that he had no obsession. As a result, he gained a reputation among the elders as a simple-minded person. However, when such words reached the ears of the other side, it gradually turned out that he was a dull-witted and heartless person.
"Dad, you should go back early." Su Ye was embarrassed by his father's stare. He left these words and turned around and rushed into the mist. Within half a quarter of an hour, he returned the same way and looked at his father again. .
Su Ye was speechless, turned around again and walked along the bridge. As expected, he walked out unchanged again.
Su Min twirled his beard.
Su Ye held his forehead and said angrily: "I'm really convinced!"
"It's a good thing if you don't have any obsessions or mental barriers. You don't have to force it." Su Min put his hands behind his back and said calmly.
Su Ye gritted his teeth: "But they have all gone in, and I am alone outside. What are you saying?"
"You two friends are both very mentally disturbed people." Su Min looked at the rising mist on the water, and there were swimming shadows sneaking in the water.
Su Ye was startled: "Then they won't be in any danger, right?"
"Maybe." Su Min left these three words and walked away, leaving Su Ye to walk back and forth on the bridge trying to enter the forbidden area.

Qiong Yi and the other traders no longer followed the road, but went separate ways, following the direction they pointed. After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at Guma Rock.
Gumayan is as its name suggests. The huge rocks carved by the wind and sand have turned into all kinds of strange shapes. When you get closer, you will be surprised to see a stone city, which is the trace of someone's settlement. Qiong also took off his mask and walked into the city. Before he entered the city, Some Rong people were the first to see her, blowing whistles to greet the others, and rushed out with weapons in hand.
Qiong also looked at the group of Rong people who gathered around them. Their appearance was not rude, and they were even quite elegant. Onyx and jade were used as jewelry and were tied around their ears and hair. The animal fur coat was even more luxurious, but his expression was unkind, as if he regarded her as a foreign enemy, and asked sternly: "Who are you?"
Qiong also took off her cloak, revealing her specially designed curly hair, which was braided almost exactly like theirs. The sun shone on her hair, shining like gold. She said in a somewhat skilled rong language: "Dorna, He must be living here. I'm here to see him. If you don't believe it, you can come to him."
After hearing Dorna's name, the soldiers suddenly became less alert. Some people went to the city to call Dorna, while others stared at her in front of the settlement, preventing her from getting closer.
Qiong Yi didn't want to be brought into the stone city by this group of people with weird auras, so he simply stood there with his hands behind his back, waiting for Dorna to come.
After about a stick of incense, Dorna walked in front of the crowd and came quickly. When he saw Qiong Yi, he shouted joyfully: "Lu Xiyan? It's you who are here." He spoke in Chinese dialect, which was better than the year before. He spoke too smoothly before, and then said: "In order to wait for you to come, I have practiced Chinese dialect for a long time."
The Rong man beside him didn't understand. He glanced at Qiong Yi coldly and asked in Rong dialect: "A foreigner? Are you here at this time? Why?"
Dorna said: "Ada, when I was imprisoned, it was she who saved me and sent me a long way. If it weren't for her, I would have died in a foreign country like Amei. She probably I just want to ask me something, so I won’t disturb everyone.”
"The author has something to say: Time on both sides happens at the same time, so holding hands is also real."
