On the top of the mountain, there is a huge ancient tower.
The ancient pagoda is completely dark and exudes an ancient atmosphere.
On the front of the ancient pagoda, there are two vigorous characters engraved on it.
—Serrata!
In front of the tower, there was an old man sitting cross-legged.
This man was wearing white clothes, with white hair and white beard, and his whole body exuded an aura of unearthly aura.
Qin Feiyang looked at the old man and realized that he had never seen him before
Qin Yi bowed to the old man and said: "Old Qin, under the order of the emperor and empress, we are taking His Royal Highness the Fourteenth Prince to Lingzhou. Please open the tower door."
The old man opened his eyes, which were not cloudy at all and were shining brightly.
After glancing at Qin Yi and the other two, the old man looked at Qin Feiyang, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I have met your highness."
Qin Feiyang smiled and said, "Old seniors don't need to be polite."
Even Qin Yi respected him so much. The old man in front of him was obviously not an ordinary person.
"I have long heard that His Highness has extraordinary talents and qualifications, but now that I see him, he is indeed extraordinary."
The old man smiled.
Qin Feiyang was a little ashamed, shook his head and said: "The senior has received the award, but the junior is really too ashamed to deserve it."
"Be talented but not arrogant, be ambitious but not arrogant, have a good character."
The old man smiled and nodded, seemingly appreciating Qin Feiyang. Then he turned around and stretched out his old arm, his index finger gushing out with war energy, blending into the tower door.
Bang!
present.
The tower door slowly opened, and a magnificent breath rushed towards him.
The old man said: "The teleportation altar leading to Lingzhou is on the first floor. Go in by yourself. Remember, don't run around."
"clear."
Qin Yi and the other two bowed and responded, then led Qin Feiyang into the spiritual pagoda.
The tower door also closed.
Qin Feiyang looked at everything in front of him curiously.
The space here can be about a hundred feet long, and nine blood-red altars are neatly arranged on the ground, all exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
Next to the nine altars, there is a stone tablet engraved with different characters.
Lingzhou, Yunzhou, Hezhou, Youzhou, Fengzhou and so on.
Following Qin Yi and the other two, Qin Feiyang went straight to the stone tablet engraved with Lingzhou.
Qin Zhong said: "This altar leads to Lingzhou."
Qin Feiyang asked doubtfully: "Is there an altar on the second floor?"
"this… "
Qin Zhong hesitated a little, shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I really can't say this."
"All right!"
Qin Feiyang shrugged helplessly.
Qin Zhong smiled apologetically, his fighting spirit emerged and flowed into the altar.
boom!
Suddenly.
The bloody altar shone brightly.
Qin and Yi grabbed Qin Feiyang's arms, landed on the altar in one step, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Lingzhou.
Over a mountain range outside the city.
Uh-huh! ! !
Three figures appeared out of thin air.
It was Qin Feiyang and Qin Zhong.
As soon as he appeared, Qin Yi used a trace of fighting spirit to support Qin Feiyang.
Because Qin Feiyang is still unable to fly.
Qin Zhong glanced around, looked at the city not far ahead, and said with a smile: "That should be the state city."
Qin Feiyang looked down and looked stunned.
The appearance of the city was actually completely different from the state city in the dream, and it was extremely unfamiliar.
After a long time, Qin Feiyang came back to his senses and said, "Uncle Qin Zhong, go and find out if there are these people in the city."
"who?"
Qin Zhong asked.
"Ren Wushuang, Lu Xingchen, Dong Zhengyang, Dongfang Wuhen, Murong Xiong, Shen Mei, Shen Long, Jiang Wei, Wang Hong..."
"There are several other big families, the Lu family, the Dong family, the Shao family, the Shen family..."
Qin Feiyang said.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Qin Zhong nodded, flickered, and disappeared without a trace.
"Your Highness, have you been to Lingzhou?"
Qin Yi looked at Qin Feiyang suspiciously. Seeing Qin Feiyang naming each name without hesitation, he felt as if he was living here.
Qin Feiyang said: "I came here in my dream."
"In a dream?"
Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and said nothing more.
Uh-huh!
soon.
Qin Zhong came back.
"How about it?"
Qin Feiyang looked at him eagerly.
Qin Zhong shook his head and said: "Your Highness, none of the people or families you mentioned exist."
"What?"
Qin Feiyang's eyes trembled, a little hard to accept.
Qin Yi couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, let me say this, things in dreams cannot be taken seriously!"
Qin Feiyang said: "The next place is Butterfly Valley."
"Where is Butterfly Valley?"
The two were suspicious.
Although they know Lingzhou, they have never been there, so they are not familiar with various places in Lingzhou at all.
Qin Feiyang said: "Just fly in the direction I point."
Under Qin Feiyang's guidance, he soon reached the sky above Butterfly Valley.
However, looking around, there is no valley at all, no butterflies, no that ugly old woman, and no teleportation altar leading to the Forgotten Land.
Qin Feiyang was stunned. Isn't anything in the dream real
Qin Zhong looked at each other, and they really didn't know how to persuade each other
After a while.
Qin Yi smiled and said: "Your Highness, where are you going next?"
Since I can't persuade you, just follow His Highness' wishes.
Qin Feiyang came back to his senses and asked, "Do you know who the master of Lingzhou is?"
"have no idea."
The two shook their heads.
Qin Feiyang frowned and said, "That's not right. The masters of the nine major states visit the imperial capital every ten years. How could you not know that?"
"It does happen."
"But every time it is the emperor who goes to the back mountain to meet them."
"How about I ask the emperor?"
Qin Zhongdao.
"Forget it, my father has many things to do, don't bother him with such trivial matters."
Qin Feiyang shook his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "Next, go to Yan City, Yan County."
…
Over Yancheng!
Uh-huh!
Qin Feiyang and three others appeared out of thin air.
Qin Zhong asked: "Who are you going to ask about again this time?"
Qin Feiyang said: "I asked about a person named Yan..."
However, when he said this, his words stopped abruptly.
Qin Zhong said suspiciously: "Yan what?"
"Yan what?"
Qin Feiyang also asked himself in his heart, he had obviously thought of a name before, why did he suddenly forget it
what happened
suddenly.
He remembered again, what he wanted to say was Yan Nanshan.
"Go and find out if there is a person named Yan Nanshan, and another named Jiang..."
Speaking of which.
Qin Feiyang's memory was blurred again. He tried to recall for a moment and said, "By the way, Jiang Zhengyi."
"OK."
Qin Zhong nodded and quickly swept downwards.
Qin Feiyang looked down at Yan Cheng, his eyes full of confusion.
Yan Nanshan and Jiang Zhengyi are such familiar names, why did it take so long to remember them
"well!"
Just then.
A soft sigh passed into Qin Feiyang's mind.
"who?"
Qin Feiyang was startled and glanced around.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Qin Yi also looked at Qin Feiyang in surprise.
"Why is there no one?"
Qin Feiyang frowned, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, maybe he's hallucinating."
But the words were not spoken.
Directly ahead, a black shadow appeared out of thin air!
"kindness?"
Qin Feiyang looked at the black shadow with surprise and doubt in his eyes.
The shadow's voice came into Qin Feiyang's mind again: "How long will you continue to wallow here?"
"What's the meaning?"
Qin Feiyang frowned.
"Your Highness, who are you talking to?"
Hearing Qin Feiyang speak again, Qin Yi's eyes became even more startled and suspicious. He followed Qin Feiyang's gaze but saw nothing.
Qin Feiyang was stunned, looked at Qin Yi and asked, "Don't you see? There is a black shadow there."
"Dark Shadow?"
Qin Yi looked again, but there was still nothing.
The black shadow glanced at Qin Yi and said to Qin Feiyang: "Here, only you can see me, no one else can see or hear what I say."
"Why?"
Qin Feiyang was surprised.
The black shadow said: "Because this is an illusion, and everything in front of you is the result of the obsession in your heart."
boom!
As soon as these words came out, Qin Feiyang's heart trembled.
"Are you confused now as to why you suddenly forgot the names of Yan Nanshan and Jiang Zhengyi?"
The black shadow said again.
Qin Feiyang nodded.
"I'm telling you, if you don't recognize the reality anymore, you will not only forget Yan Nanshan and Jiang Zhengyi, but you will also forget the Wolf King and Fatty."
"In fact, the things you have experienced in the past ten years and the people and things you have met will gradually fade in your mind."
"Until the end, completely forgotten."
The shadow said.
"Why is this happening?"
Qin Feiyang was surprised.
"Because Naihe Bridge is a test of your willpower."
"If your will is not strong enough, you will always be trapped in an illusion."
"When you forget everyone and everything, that will be the day you die."
"Kid, I understand you."
"You long for family affection in your heart, long for a carefree pure land, long for those painful things in the past to never happen, so I didn't remind you at the first time."
"However, no matter how beautiful this place is, it is just fake and cannot continue. Otherwise, you will never be able to leave this illusion, return to the imperial capital, and see your real mother."
"Face it bravely. Don't risk your life because of greed for temporary happiness. That will only make you more regretful."
The shadow sighed.
"This is an illusion..."
Qin Feiyang scanned the sky, the earth, the mountains and rivers, and there was still a trace of disbelief in his eyes.
It took a lot of effort for him to believe it all and accept it all, but now someone suddenly came out and told him that it was all false.
Such a change was unacceptable to him.
The black shadow said: "Don't you believe what I say?"
Qin Feiyang shouted: "I don't even know who you are, why should I trust you?"
“Does it matter who I am?”
Black Shadow was puzzled.
Qin Feiyang said angrily: "Of course it is important, because only by knowing your identity can I dare to judge whether this is true or false?"
"It seems your obsession is deeper than I thought."
"But I won't blame you. If it had been another child, he would have collapsed long ago. It's not easy for you to be strong enough to get to where you are today."
The shadow sighed deeply.
"Since you know that, you should know how much I long for my current life. Why do I want to disrupt it?"
"Do you want to hear what's on my mind?"
"I really want to live here forever, even though everything here is fake."
When Qin Feiyang finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked extremely lonely.
"I see."
"But have you ever thought about what would happen to your mother who is far away in the imperial capital if you die in the fantasy realm?"
"How uncomfortable would she feel if she knew that the child she loved most died outside?"
"And Qin Yuan, he has told you countless times that no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must be strong and brave."
"If you give up on yourself here, can you live up to his expectations?"
Black Shadow shouted.
Qin Feiyang's body shook like a bolt from the blue.
The black shadow sighed softly and said: "Child, wake up, for the sake of your mother, for your distant uncle, and for your own sake."
Qin Feiyang's face was full of pain.
After a long, long time, he just said: "How can I break this illusion?"
The black shadow said: "The bond in your heart is your parents. Only by destroying them will the illusion disappear. And it only takes a thought from you to make them disappear."
"What?"
Qin Feiyang suddenly raised his head and looked at the black shadow. Even if it was fake, he couldn't do it!
The shadow said: "This is the only way."
Qin Feiyang clenched his hands so tightly that his nails were already in his palms, and blood was flowing out.
After a while.
He loosened his hands and said, "Give me some time."
The black shadow nodded and said: "Okay, but I have to remind you that you still have half an hour at most."
"So short!"
Qin Feiyang's eyes trembled, half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, what could he do
"There's one more thing I want to tell you. The Wolf King and Ren Wushuang have also fallen into an illusion. You'd better go rescue them quickly."
The black shadow said again.
"What?"
Qin Feiyang's expression changed.
The black shadow said: "But don't worry, their lives are not in danger for the time being."
"Can't you just say it all in one go?"
Qin Feiyang looked at him helplessly, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I have a question, I want to ask you."
"what is the problem?"
Black Shadow asked.
"Since this is an illusion transformed by my desires, why has the imperial capital not changed at all, but Lingzhou has changed, the castle has disappeared, and there are not even people like Uncle Yuan and Ren Wushuang?"
Qin Feiyang frowned.
The shadow said: "Because the illusion wants you to believe that all this is true."
Qin Feiyang understood.
All this is confusing his mind.
Because if everything in the fantasy was the same as everything in reality, then he would definitely have doubts.
so.
The illusion removed everything that had happened in the past ten years, leaving only the people and objects in the imperial capital, and allowed him to return to the time when he was ten years old.
In this way, he will believe that all this is true, and then he will continue to sink until the end.
"It's really a terrifying illusion."
Qin Feiyang couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine. He looked at the shadow and said, "Last question, who are you? Why do you appear in my fantasy realm?"
"When the time comes, you will naturally know who I am."
The black shadow said something with a smile and disappeared instantly.
"It's not the right time again."
Qin Feiyang shook his head and smiled bitterly. He lowered his head and scanned the ground below, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.
"Your Highness, what happened to you?"
"What illusion?"
"What's fake?"
"What uncle Yuan?"
"Who the hell are you talking to?"
Qin Yi, who was next to him, was so anxious that he was almost angry.
Qin Feiyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"fine?"
Qin Yi frowned and talked to himself for a long time. How could people not be worried
