Another reason why I stayed still was that I never saw clearly what was going on in the depths of the secret passage.
When Xia Qingqing and I were talking, I had been paying attention to the movements deep in the secret passage. I tried all my eye skills from beginning to end, but what I saw was a confusing darkness.
Just like the relief I saw on the stone door, people coming out of the eyes can only see their own comings and goings, but not their whereabouts.
I pulled out the long knife, held it in my hand and said to Xia Qingqing, "I'll go in front, and you hold the line for me."
When Xia Qingqing pulled out Pan Ying and carefully guarded me behind me, I suddenly felt a strong crisis suddenly arise around me. I just turned my eyes slightly and saw a flying door appearing out of thin air on my side. .
As the ripple-like black shadow spread in all directions on the wall, I vaguely saw a figure emerging from the center of the black shadow.
Ye Xun
Judging from his body shape, that person was Ye Xun.
I just looked at Ye Xun in the door, and the latter's head rolled to the ground.
"Ye Xun!" I raised my knife and wanted to rush through the door, but was blocked by Xia Qingqing's sword: "Don't go there, it's an illusion!"
"Impossible! My clairvoyance..." Before I could finish my words, I saw the headless corpse walking out of the door step by step.
I couldn't help but step back a few steps, when the corpse in the door suddenly slashed straight at my chest.
I clearly saw the sword light approaching, but I seemed to have lost the ability to react. I could only watch the sword light approaching, unable to even raise the consciousness to avoid it.
Xia Qingqing turned over and thrust out his sword from my side, placing the sword across my chest. The long knife of the headless corpse collided with the place where it was coiled on my chest, and sparks from the collision of the swords burst out in front of my eyes. At the same moment, the sword light that was still rushing wildly flew up in front of me, spinning several times in the air before falling to the ground.
However, at this moment, Xia Qingqing raised his hand and struck the left side of Feilaimen with his sword. The sword light that surged three feet hit the wall hard, and rubble flew. Feilaimen also disappeared among the rocks that were flying everywhere. not see.
When I looked down again, the long knife that fell on the ground turned into a long arrow about two fingers thick.
"False!" When I suddenly looked up, the flying door on the wall had disappeared, leaving only one with a crossbow.
The crossbow built into the wall was only embedded in the wall about one meter deep at most. The crossbow supported on a tripod was just there in plain sight without any cover-up. According to the length of the crossbow arrow, I walked through the passage. I should have seen the tip of the arrow sticking out of the wall, but not only did I fail to see the crossbow arrow on the wall clearly, I almost died from the crossbow arrow.
Xia Qingqing whispered: "Why did the flying door just now look like the secret method of the Fox Clan?"
I turned around suddenly and said, "What do you mean?"
Xia Qingqing explained: "Illusion is also one of the Fox Clan's secret arts. The Fox Clan has three secret illusions, disguise and mind control. The Feilaimen you saw just now is the Fox Clan's illusion."
As Xia Qingqing spoke, she shined her flashlight on the wall near An Duo, and sure enough, a pattern like ivy appeared on it: "The Fox Clan is good at using cipher text to perform illusions. When you see these patterns, you have already fallen into an illusion. "
"Fox clan?" When I squinted my eyes and looked into the distance, Xia Qingqing said, "Let's do this! I'll go ahead and you follow me!"
Xia Qingqing didn't care whether I agreed or not, she raised her sword in front of me and walked forward quickly. The sword energy in her hand kept bursting out, hitting the walls on both sides of the passage continuously. The stones shattered by her sword energy filled the sky like a heavy rain. As it was flying, I calmly caught one of the gravels, which had ivy patterns clearly painted on it.
Xia Qingqing never looked back but seemed to know what I was doing: "Are you wondering why I can easily break the fox clan's illusion?"
"Yes!" I haven't been with Xia Qingqing for long, but I can see that Xia Qingqing lacks a sense of security in her heart.
Put it this way! Xia Qingqing hopes that someone will believe her, but she is unwilling to make any explanation when she is misunderstood. Even if that misunderstanding is a matter of life and death. Otherwise, she would not have remained silent when Ye Xun and her repeatedly questioned him.
My action of reaching out to catch the stone caused her misunderstanding.
Maybe I should tell her that I'm just curious. But when the words came to my lips, I expressed my true thoughts. In my opinion, sometimes telling the truth is also a form of trust.
"Thank you for telling me the truth!" Xia Qingqing said as she walked: "Do you think that if a goblin does something willful, will it be tolerated and forgiven by others?"
I shook my head slightly and said, "I don't quite understand!"
Xia Qingqing said softly: "For example, if a fox deceives someone's feelings, will that person forgive the fox if he knows that he has been deceived?"
I was silent for a while and then said: "Who should be the one who deceived the fox? It's like King Zhou and Su Daji. Even at the moment before his death, King Zhou didn't call out the words "witch girl and chaos in the country"? In this regard, King Zhou still has the responsibilities of a king. At least he is much better than Li Longji."
"King Zhou!" Xia Qingqing said: "There may not be another King Zhou in the world."
Only then did I realize something was wrong with Xia Qingqing. I gently pressed the handle of the knife and said, "Xia Qingqing, what's wrong with you?"
Xia Qingqing's voice was low and she said, "Do you believe that Xia Qingqing can take you out? What if she leads you to a dead end?"
"What did you say?" As soon as I finished speaking, I felt the scenery around me change. The entire tunnel was like a cardboard box being spread out, opening up in all directions in an instant.
I felt like I had fallen into a vast but ever-changing space, and everything in the world was whirling around me like a fleeting shadow. Just a moment later, I felt like I was standing in a ruined inn.
Thousands of troops were surging outside the inn gate, and countless soldiers holding spears pressed against the crumbling gate. Except for Xia Qingqing, there were only three or five people around me.
"What's going on?" When I asked subconsciously, a eunuch-like man walked in quickly, knelt in front of me and cried loudly: "Your Majesty... Chen Xuanli killed his uncle and put him to death. Their heads were put on spears to force them into the palace! They said... they said it was the uncle of the country who was rebellious... "
Chen Xuanli
This is Maweipo, am I experiencing the Maweipo mutiny
This is the fantasy land of the fox clan!
This thought just flashed through my mind, and it was like someone had forced a memory into my mind.
I am Wang Huan, and the person next to me is Xia Qingqing
I am Li Longji, and the person next to me is Yang Yuhuan
In just a few seconds, Li Longji's memories rushed into my mind.
The daring work of the youth, the hard work after ascending to the throne... all kinds of love between him and Yang Yuhuan (Xia Qingqing), all of a sudden appeared in front of my eyes.
After half of Li Longji's life experiences emerged before my eyes, I felt that I and Li Longji were almost integrated into one. Although I still had my own thoughts, the issues I considered were already from Li Longji's point of view.
Jiangshan, Tang Dynasty;
Beauty, love.
While everything was racing in my mind, there was a sound of war drums outside the door. Gao Lishi knelt in front of me and cried: "Your Majesty, are they going to..."
"Why are you panicking?" I walked around Gao Lishi and strode towards the door.
The general standing outside the door obviously did not expect that I would walk out of the inn. After being slightly startled, he still knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Chen Xuan worships your Majesty."
I looked at Chen Xuanli and said, "Do you still know that you are a minister? What do you want to do?"
Chen Xuanli said in a deep voice: "Yang Guozhong was punished for his rebellion. Concubine Yang should no longer serve your majesty. I hope your majesty can cut off your love and put Concubine Yang to death."
I took a deep look at Chen Xuanli and said, "I will handle this matter myself." I waved my sleeves and walked back into the inn, looking at Xia Qingqing, who was sitting far away and shivering.
This is the illusion of the fox clan!
The Fox Clan is forcing me to choose again.
Should I choose the Tang Dynasty or my confidante
Should I choose to return to Chang'an, or should I choose to be buried in Maweipo
No, actually, the Fox Clan asked me to choose who lives and who dies.
I believe that this illusion is just like the golden mask I encountered in Pingtianhai. As long as the consciousness dies, the body outside will also die, and even die horribly.
The choice I faced seemed simple, but in fact it was extremely difficult, because I still had Li Longji's emotions in my consciousness. Although he was unconscious, he could use his emotions to influence my decision-making.
Xia Qingqing never said a word from beginning to end. She left her destiny to Li Longji just like Yang Yuhuan back then. He gave it to the man he trusted most.
While I was silent, someone suddenly walked in. If I remember correctly, he should be Wei Er, a member of the Jingzhao Division who joined the army.
Wei Er walked up to him and knelt on the ground in a few steps and said: "Your Majesty, the situation is very critical now. The situation is very critical. Safety is at stake in a moment. I hope your Majesty will make a decision quickly! I hope your Majesty will put the country first!"
Wei E kept kneeling and kowtowing as he spoke, and within a short time his face was covered with blood.
I said in a deep voice: "You said that Concubine Yang lived in a heavily guarded palace and did not make friends with outsiders. How could she know that Yang Guozhong was treasonous?"
Gao Lishi said sadly: "Concubine Yang is indeed not guilty, but the soldiers have already killed Yang Guozhong. If the concubine is still serving your majesty, how can they feel at ease? I hope your majesty will think about it carefully. If the soldiers are at peace, your majesty will be safe." .”
"Haha..." I sneered and said, "I didn't expect that I would survive by selling women."
"Your Majesty, please put the country first!" Gao Lishi knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please put the country first!" Wei E kowtowed again and shouted wildly.
"Your Majesty, please punish the traitors!" the soldiers of the three armies shouted in unison, the sound was loud enough to shake the sky.
