Chen Lubai's horse was gone, and she cried like Daiyu's burial of flowers, and she couldn't stop crying with grief and resentment, and she just blurted out a song "The Song of Burial of Horses" in public.

He Zhizhou and Zheng Weiqi are both practitioners of Taoism. Not to mention that they have reached the level of steel and iron, their ability to resist pressure and beating is always much better than that of ordinary people.

This time, he fell off the horse's back one after another, except for He Zhizhou's fragile little heart being seriously injured, the rest were not seriously injured.

Mr. Chen, who rushed over after hearing the news, shook his head in pain, and tears fell from his mouth in a bad mood: "Let's have a horse meat banquet tonight!"

Ningning returned to the guest room with two wounded men who looked like a mourning. Before she could enter the house, she saw Pei Ji's shadow.

"Sister Sister."

He looked at the three of them with a faint expression, and finally fixed his eyes on Ningning: "I've found a clue."

Zheng Weiqi was so embarrassed that she was so angry that she was so embarrassed that she heard this. After hearing this, she finally became a little more energetic, and her eyes lit up: "It's still reliable for me to be a savage man named He! Please learn from him!"

He Zhizhou's face was thicker than the city wall. He ignored her stomp and followed the situation: "What clue?"

After asking, he added anxiously: "Young Brother Pei, you don't know. All the horses in the stable just now have gone crazy. My senior sister and I tried our best to calm the chaos. According to my inference, there should be monsters with very strong strength hidden in the Chen Mansion, otherwise they would not have such a big reaction."

Ningning smiled and said, "Let's go to the room and talk slowly."

Although after some discussion, they finally planned to wait for the rabbit to wait for the demon gate to open in the middle of the night, and then draw their swords to fight—

But that's just a statement on the surface.

Although the sword cultivator is rash, most of them have a brain.

Since they had known that this tower was extremely difficult, if they could poke it like a frog, they might be able to pick their heads off and stir-fry them tonight.

Anyway, it is not very useful to keep it, so it is better to fill your stomach.

At that time, He Zhizhou used the secret to send a message to tease Ningning "Ning Qingtian". When she answered, she made a sound.

The reason is nothing else, it is to make the mastermind behind the scenes who are likely to be watching secretly relax their vigilance when they hear this and reduce their defense against them.

——At the same time, we are also using voice transmission to tell the rest of us their true ideas.

"What? The mastermind behind the scenes monitored it secretly?"

After hearing this, He Zhizhou was confused: "Who is the mastermind?"

Zheng Weiqi stretched and joined the voice-transmitting group chat: "It is probably Chen Lubai."

Pei Ji nodded.

He Zhizhou:?

Wait, are you guys really not having a private chat in secret? Why is the current situation the same as when he was taking math class back then? Everyone had the same starting line, and when he closed his eyes, he couldn't understand anything?

"I have always cared about it. If the spiritual consciousness cannot be explored in the Buddha Tower, why should we arrange a plot where Zhao Yunluo was trapped by nightmare? Wouldn't it make us watch her die but helpless?"

Ning Ning said: "This is a completely meaningless plot, and it can be abandoned. From another perspective, what if the problem is not in the Buddha Tower, but Zhao Yunluo himself?"

None of the three of them made a sound and listened quietly to her continued: "Imagine that there is something that looks exactly the same as a person, who can move, laugh and talk, but has no spiritual consciousness. Of course, she is not a dead object such as tables and chairs. Apart from that, there is only one possibility."

Pei Ji answered for the first time: "Illusion."

As soon as these two words came out, He Zhizhou smiled bitterly: "But Ningning had just analyzed it before, the problem was not in the Buddha Tower--"

Having said this, he was stunned.

What if... the illusion in Chen's mansion did not come from the Buddha Tower, but another illusion in the illusion?

"The Buddha Tower nourishes the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and is extremely powerful. The so-called "playing a complete set of dramas, even if it is created, the characters should be given illusory spiritual consciousness - but ordinary monsters are far from this level."

Ningning thought for a while and said seriously: "Do you still remember that we came back with Chen Lubai at that time. As soon as we arrived at the gate, she was called away by Mr. Chen. My daughter-in-law was in danger, but her father called her little daughter aside and nagged about other things. It was abnormal no matter how she thought about it."

"And as soon as we said goodbye, Chen Lubai came to the room to visit her sister-in-law, which was too coincidental."

After hearing this, Zheng Weiqi nodded: "Maybe she had known that the dummy in the illusion does not have spiritual consciousness, and she also guessed that once we cannot sense Zhao Yunluo, we will continue to try to sense others. If she is the creator of the entire illusion, the spiritual consciousness should be able to be noticed by us. In that case, all lies will be self-defeating."

He Zhizhou said "Oh" heavily: "That's why she deliberately left at that time and waited for us to leave the room before we investigate the situation!"

He has never liked to use his brain, and now he inevitably turns into a curious baby: "But I don't understand one thing. If the illusion was created by Chen Lubai, then she doesn't have to use night dire. This thing is too easy to expose her. Wouldn't it be better to replace it with some monsters?"

This sentence also stumped Zheng Weiqi.

Yes, set a scene of night dire possession, deliberately exposing Zhao Yunluo's lack of spiritual consciousness-

What is Chen Lubai's picture?

"It should be related to the difficulty of creating illusion."

During the silence, Pei Ji actually spoke: "I have read some books related to this. The books claim that it takes a lot of spiritual power to arrange the illusion and is unbearable for ordinary monsters. Moreover, the area of ​​Goose City is not small, and it is very difficult to cover everything."

This person has always been among the top in the academy. At this time, he spoke indifferently and easily killed two poor students, Zheng Weiqi and He Zhizhou.

This was the first time Ning Ning heard this kind of thing, and looked up at him with a little novelty, and then heard Pei Ji say: "In this case, the most convenient way is to use memory to combine illusions and memories, and greatly reduce the difficulty of scene construction. Therefore, the scenes we see now should be the past that has really happened in the Goose City by Chen Lubai."

Therefore, everyone in the Chen Mansion and even in Echeng, Chen Yaoguang was attacked by Hua Mei, Zhao Yunluo was possessed by Ye Dare, and even Chen Yueming played with mud on the street, all of them had real existence.

"Wait, if everything around us is memories, then the real Goose City is now-"

He Zhizhou paused and suddenly realized: "I understand! Do you still remember the fact that the demon gate was opened? Maybe Echeng really suffered a disaster. Chen Lubai was eager to miss his family, so he created this illusion and saw things and thought of people."

This seems to be the most convincing explanation today.

But Ningning always feels something is wrong, for example—

"But if this is the case, what is Chen Lubai's intention to leave us here? Why can she, an ordinary little girl, have the power to create illusions?"

Pei Ji spoke coldly, unable to hear the tone: "The most important thing is, if she is the only mastermind behind the scenes, why would this layer of the Buddha Tower be called "extremely difficult"? Can something that can be solved by killing her make it difficult for so many seniors?"

He Zhizhou stared at him blankly.

Then he said to Ningning with great emotion: "Isn't Pei Ji also a dummy? Can he really say so much in one go?"

"Anyway, there are still many doubts in this tower."

Zheng Weiqi pressed and rubbed her eyebrows: "It's better to do this. Let's let one person secretly investigate the tricks in Eicheng, and the rest stayed in Chen's mansion to reduce Chen Lubai's vigilance. That person should be separated and silent. Even if he didn't stay with us, she would not be suspicious. Who do you recommend to go?"

He Zhizhou was silent for a moment.

He Zhizhou: "Senior sister, if you want to help Pei Ji, just say it directly. You really don't have to follow his template to find adjectives."

*

So time returns to the present.

The stable storm passed by without any danger, and the four of them sat in Pei Ji's room to listen to his gains today.

"I found three things in total."

Pei Ji said: "First, if there is a barrier around Eicheng, you can't continue to move forward if you fly with your sword for a distance."

Ning Ning sat on the chair, holding her cheeks to look at him.

“…the second.”

The boy in black lowered his long eyelashes calmly, and his Adam's apple moved slightly: "The people in the city said that something was wrong with Chen Lubai."

Chengying chuckled strangely: "Why are you talking about serious things? Why are you still shy? Look at you, just look back at her."

A hint of anger flashed between Pei Ji's eyebrows, and his tone was still volatile: "It was rumored that a servant had seen her go to the backyard of Chen's mansion alone at night and talk to himself to an old locust tree. What's very strange is that she clearly turned her back to the servant at that time, but somehow suddenly turned around and looked straight in the direction where the man was."

In the middle of the night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.

You saw a little girl wandering around to the rarely visited backyard and talking to an old tree. This was already scary enough, but she suddenly turned her head and stared at you straight away.

He Zhizhou's scalp was numb when he heard it. He heard Zheng Weiqi beside him say, "The locust tree is called the ghost in the tree. It is very easy to grow into a monster, and to seize the bodies of others for his own use."

She hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Is it possible that Chen Lubai, who is in front of us now, is not himself, but is transformed from Huai Gui? This can explain why she, a mortal, created such an illusion."

"What's going on with this Chen Mansion?"

He Zhizhou fought a cold war and looked around with some disgust: "The magic night night holy tree spirit is taken in one pot. Those who don't know think it is the old nest of the demon world. And what 'demon gate is open'? The demons are so powerful that this city can still be preserved?"

This was just a whim. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zheng Weiqi suddenly slapped the table suddenly and made a muffled sound: "Do you still remember it? I said before, it seems that I have heard the name of Goose City somewhere?"

He Zhizhou was startled and almost shrank into Pei Ji's arms, causing Chengying to complain, like a flower girl who was insulted.

"I remembered it! Goose City!"

Zheng Weiqi was excited and almost stood up from her chair: "During the battle between immortals and demons, the demons and demons were unscrupulous. Among them, there were a group of evil demons who absorbed blood and souls, and they joined forces to attack a small county, causing trouble to the creatures, and none of them survived. The name of the county was called 'Gecheng'!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Pei Ji and Ningning both showed a clear expression of "so that's it".

"So," only He Zhizhou's face turned pale, "The so-called 'the demon gate opened on the fifth day of the sixth month' is probably not a random legend, but..."

He said, taking a deep breath: "On the fifth day of June, Goose City was completely captured by demon cultivators. The people in the city..."

He didn't say anything more.

Since it is to absorb blood and soul, no one will survive.

The river embankment is hazy with misty rain, the pavilion with white walls and green tiles, the Chen Mansion like a garden, and the group of children playing with mud in the alley.

Everything that once did not exist anymore, replaced by the unscrupulous demons and bodies with dead eyes, dark and blood flowing into a river.

Although this illusion was constructed by the memory of that year, it was very different from the real scene due to their intervention.

No one has ever escaped by chance in the hands of a demon. Those seemingly dangerous clips actually predict everyone's death in a blunt way.

Chen Yaoguang was unable to be rescued from beginning to end. He was bound by Huacai in a dark and cold cave, sucking away blood and essence little by little, and gradually closing his eyes in endless fear and despair.
To be continued...
