The hoofs of the horses were getting closer and closer, and gradually even the ground began to tremble. Yuchixiao couldn't help but murmured, "Could it be that Sect Master Xu was very affectionate and brought a large number of Cangyang Sect disciples to greet his wife? But why not Yujian?"
Meng Yunfei said suddenly, "No."
"how?"
Meng Yunfei's face was faintly unattractive: "The Cangyang Sect has never recorded that the suzerain's eyes were injured, and he has never heard of a large number of disciples coming down the mountain to welcome their relatives. Is the fantasy we are experiencing now a repeat of what happened twenty years ago, or is it... "
Before he finished speaking, the earthquake suddenly stopped, followed by countless horses: "Neigh!"
The horses were restrained one after another, and then their front hooves crashed to the ground. Listening to the movement, a large number of troops were suddenly stopped. Meng Yunfei's voice stopped, and the two of them focused their ears at the same time, only to hear the soldier in the distance draw a knife and scold: "Who is blocking the way?!"
There was no answer.
The opposite side of the valley suddenly fell into silence, no questioning, no conversation, not even the slightest movement of the sword unsheathed.
The two of them couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw unease in each other's eyes.
- What happened in the distance
What made the army that was galloping just now suddenly fall into complete silence
The breeze swept through the grass, the insects chirped long and short, the moonlight shrouded the mountain stream faintly, and the peach petals drifted across the night sky. Everything was so peaceful, as if a needle could be heard falling to the ground, but the great and ominous foreboding grew heavier and closer—
At this moment, a tall figure suddenly appeared at the end of the stone path.
Xu Shuangce came slowly from the depths of the valley, wearing a white robe with wide sleeves, and his hair fluttering in the wind, as gracefully as the moon exiled. The reluctance in his hand reflected the Qinghan Huaguang, because the blood tank of the sword was too full, and blood was dripping down the tip of the sword, winding a bloody path with no end behind him.
"..." Yu Chixiao finally found his voice: "Xu... Sect Master..."
Xu Shuangce's demeanor was calm, as if the silent killing was just an illusion. He passed by the two of them, walked straight to the gate of the small courtyard, and then turned his back to the two of them and asked, "What are you doing here?"
He even took the initiative to ask questions!
Yuchixiao said without hesitation: "Sect Master, you have been caught in the mirror technique. All of this is an illusion, a projection of your memory twenty years ago! You are now in Linjiang Capital, and now you must wake up immediately before we can—"
"Are you the guests who came to watch the ceremony?" Xu Shuangce interrupted him.
Yuchixiao stopped abruptly.
"All comers are guests. But the wedding banquet will be held tomorrow. Come back at dawn."
Yuchixiao's pupils suddenly tightened, but it was too late. As soon as Xu Shuangce finished speaking, the four walls suddenly rose to the ground, and the house was quickly built, trapping Yuchixiao and Meng Yunfei inside, and slammed the door shut.
Yuchixiao was furious: "Sect Master Xu!" When he rushed up, he was about to split the door open.
Meng Yunfei stopped: "Don't act rashly!"
I saw Xu Shuangce outside the house and didn't turn his head: "—At midnight, why are the guests making noise?"
The last word landed, and an invisible force came oncoming, and could not help but lift the two of them up, bang! Bang! Throw in two beds. Immediately afterwards, the transparent rope came in the air, and instantly tied the two of them firmly to the bed!
Yu Chixiao: "I—"
In the next second, a forbidden technique was imposed, and he was suddenly forced to mute!
Meng Yunfei turned his head abruptly to look out the window, only to see the night outside the house was melting, Xu Shuangce stretched out his hand to push open the courtyard door, walked to the opposite door in a hurry, stood still and said, "I'm back."
Unfortunately, the blood on the sword flowed down the steps, but his voice was very soft:
"I've always missed you terribly."
At the same time inside the house, Gong Wei's back was against the door panel, his pupils dilated silently.
The hut in front of him has changed its appearance - the beams and walls are covered in red and colorful, the bed is covered with big red gold letters, there is a gold-painted red sandalwood dress against the wall, and the eight big candles make a crackling sound when they burn. In front of the mirror drawer sits the back of a woman, dressed in a wedding dress and a red hijab, with her hands as white as ice and snow folded on her knees.
Everything was exactly as I remembered it, except for one thing.
It was himself who sat under the red hijab back then.
The moment General Bai rode his horse out of the valley, the "peasant girl" waved her hand to collect the entire Taoyuan Village and happily followed him to the capital. Although Fahua Xianzun can cause trouble, he also has an advantage, that is, he can complete any serious task assigned by him without compromise; Ying Kai repeatedly asked not to let Xu Shuangce's soul be harmed in the illusion, he fully ensured that General Bai walked smoothly, everything went smoothly, and even sneaked into the palace secretly, found an imperial physician to possess him, read medical books overnight and turned through ancient books, and cured his blind eyes.
When he was done, Gong Wei clapped his hands, breathed a sigh of relief, and counted the number of people on the battlefield with his fingers. He felt that Xu Shuangce's killing barrier was almost broken. Suddenly, a thunderbolt came crashing down from the sunny day—
After the restoration of Ming Dynasty, General Bai ordered his personal soldiers, brought a guard of honor, and was about to leave for Taoyuan Village to welcome his relatives.
He didn't even forget the "peasant girl" named Ah Tao!
Gong Wei was so frightened that he immediately rushed back to the present world. He climbed out of the mirror in the middle of the night and woke Ying Kai abruptly: "No matter what happens in the fantasy world, you won't keep your memory after returning to the present world, right?"
Ying Kai said: "As long as they come back from the normal end of the fantasy world, this is usually the case..."
Gong Wei just breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear him say solemnly: "But there is one thing that must not be done."
"what?"
"marriage."
Gong Wei's tone was instantly changed.
"Xu Zong majored in the ruthless way, and he would never be tempted by others. If he had the idea of getting married in an illusion, he would definitely fall into the emotional barrier. The emotional barrier is a big obstacle to soaring. Let him go astray, understand?"
Gong Wei: "..."
Gong Wei didn't know what went wrong in this fantasy world that made Xu Shuangce fall into emotional obstacles. After thinking about it, he was helpless, so he could only return to the Thousand Degrees of Mirror Realm in dismay, and found that he had been dressed up by the village girls in the fantasy world. Well, sitting in the new house.
At this time, it was the eve of the worship hall, and there was a gentle breeze outside the window, and everything was silent. General Bai's footsteps lingered outside the door for a long time, and finally he couldn't help knocking on the door: "A Tao?"
Gong Wei didn't dare to say a word.
"I've missed you very much this year." Xu Shuangce lowered his posture, and even said softly, "Can I come in and see you?"
Of course not, absolutely not!
For the fantasy world constructed by Qiandujingjie, Gong Wei is an outsider. As soon as General Bai sees his face or hears his voice, the part of his soul that belongs to the "previous life" Sect Master Xu will be awakened. That illusion is about to collapse immediately!
Gong Wei lifted his hijab and stared at the mirror for a long while. Suddenly, he had an idea, and he used his mind to drive a village girl outside the door to stop General Bai, and softly explained that before the auspicious time. The newlyweds are not allowed to meet, and it is a bad omen to meet them, especially for the bride.
Xu Shuangce was usually a person who had a hard time changing her will, but she was persuaded that day for some unknown reason, so she stood outside the door for a while, telling "Miss A Tao" to rest early, and then she left in the dark. hospital.
Gong Wei stood behind the door and listened to his footsteps leaving, with only one thought in his mind: How did this person fall into the emotional barrier!
The illusion I made was clearly right, it was definitely his own stubbornness!
knock knock knock.
At this time, a knock on the door interrupted Gong Wei's thoughts, only to hear Xu Shuangce outside the house calling out A Tao again, the tone was exactly the same as in the fantasy 20 years ago:
"Are you asleep?"
Gong Wei calmed down, walked to the bride's side with a cat on his waist, lifted the hijab, and snapped his fingers at the smooth and paradoxical face.
In the next instant, his eyes went dark, and the wind blew softly in his ears. When he opened his eyes again, he had replaced the faceless puppet. He sat upright in front of the dressing gown. The bright vermilion candles were crackling and burning, and he was wearing a hijab in the mirror. , silhouette in happy clothes.
If Xu Shuangce opened the door 20 years ago, he would have seen the scene at this moment—there were no peasant girls at all, and the "A Tao" in his subconscious had never existed from the very beginning.
The only person sitting in the room wearing a wedding dress is the Fahua Immortal Venerable who is hard to get down on a tiger.
Gong Wei took a deep breath, knowing if he could break the illusion, he slammed open the door.
squeak-
The door slowly opened an inch, and the night breeze slowly entered from the gap, filling the room with coolness.
Gong Wei's vision was blocked by the red silk satin. Through the moonlight leaking in through the door, he could only vaguely see Xu Shuangce standing outside the atrium, with a long shadow on the ground on the half of the side that was blocked by the door.
After a long time, the shadow finally moved, and it was Xu Shuangce who raised his hand and slowly placed it on the door.
He was finally able to come in and see for himself the bride he had never forgotten.
- As long as he lifts his hijab and sees the face of Gong Wei, who died sixteen years ago, he will immediately realize that the world in front of him is all fake. In the next moment, the realm master Yuanshen will return to his place, the illusion will collapse, and everyone will be pulled back to the real Linjiang Capital at the same time.
The room was terribly quiet, and Gong Wei's entire spine was stretched to the point of stiffness.
At this time, he suddenly heard Xu Shuangce speak, and every word was indescribable warmth:
"Remember when I said that the next time we see you, we will be husband and wife? It's so nice."
Then he seemed to smile slightly and sighed.
"But meeting the bride before the auspicious time is not good. It's late at night, so rest early."
Gong Wei was stunned.
But before he could react, he saw the robe outside the door swinging, Xu Shuangce closed the door gently, turned around and walked away along the blue stone road.
He didn't even come in!
Gong Wei has already made all the preparations, even Xu Shuangce was furious, he slashed with a sword, and everyone returned to the world at the same time, how to get away and escape - but he didn't even come in!
"..." Gong Wei sat there and blinked, and it took a long time for him to regain his senses. He jumped out of the chair in a sigh, and was about to chase after him with his hijab lifted and his sleeves piled up, when he suddenly heard a long tune coming from a distance.
The mountains outside the window are bright and clear, and the finely broken peach petals are flying under the sky. The starry sky in the distance is bright, Xu Shuangce's silhouette is sitting on the top of the tree, his sleeves and hair are gently raised, and he is concentrating on blowing a bamboo leaf.
The tone is very clear, tactful and distant, like joy and sadness, and it melted into the mellow moonlight with the light weather.
Gong Wei couldn't help but stop for a while, looking at him through the window dazedly, thinking: At this time in his last life, he was sitting on that tree, waiting for the dawn
Xu Shuangce is so pretty, but unfortunately...
His thinking was stagnant here and he didn't think about it. Because in the next moment, the innate and incomparably familiar consciousness resurfaced from the depths of the primordial spirit, and it resounded clearly in my ears:
—Unfortunately I had to kill him.
Gong Wei blinked and let out a long sigh of regret.
He stretched out his hand to open the window, but before anyone could chase him out, the tone of the bamboo leaves blowing in the distance suddenly changed slightly.
With this change, an overwhelming and irresistible drowsiness poured in from all directions, submerging to the top like a tide, making Gong Wei's eyelids heavy, involuntarily sitting on the small stool by the windowsill, only in time Spit out two words:
"Xu Bai..."
The thin and gentle tail sound disappeared in the night wind, he leaned his head against the window lattice, a thin white forearm supported his chin, and slowly sank into a peaceful dreamland.
"It's auspicious time—"
"Get on the sedan chair—"
A suona suddenly cut through the sky, and then the joy was played, gongs and drums blared, and Gong Wei suddenly woke up from his sleep!
It was already bright outside the window, and all the men, women and children of the village were dispatched, running up and down the road with joy. Gong Wei was shocked, but he didn't know how he fell asleep last night, so he got up quickly and walked out.
However, as soon as the toes landed, the door was knocked twice, and then he was pushed away, and two women with red and green bodies came in!
Although the two of them had no mouths on their smooth and blank "faces", dull laughter kept coming out of their throats, like two puppets stuffed with cotton, one said, "Bride, it's auspicious time! "
Another said: "Bride, get on the sedan chair!"
The two of them stepped forward from left to right, grabbed Gong Wei involuntarily, and carried him to the big red sedan chair outside the door.
