You don’t have to look back to know that the person speaking is Qingming. When you look back, she looks pretty, cunning and cute. Who else is she if it’s not Qingming?
Wei Shiqi asked: "What's going on? Where is this?"
"The vitality fills the body, the soul and the body are separated, the body remains in the stone chamber, and the soul Come to the field of illusion." Qingming stretched out his hand and broke off a piece of thatch. The stem slipped through his fingers, intact. He pointed to the tall tower on the horizon and said, "Everything you see is not real. "
"That tower is——"
"Haha, you can't believe it, it's the Demon Suppression Tower."
The ninth floor of the Guanri Cliff. The eight-sided stone tower is the Demon Suppression Tower, and the tall tower standing at the end of the sky in the Field of Illusion is also the Demon Suppression Tower. The Demon Suppression Tower is like a bridge, connecting the two worlds of reality and illusion. Wei Shiqi vaguely guessed, muttered something in a small voice, and listened to Qingming continue.
"This is a false world. It doesn't matter if you don't eat, drink or sleep. You can do whatever you want, but there are two taboos. Remember to remember-" Qingming raised a finger and smiled. He warned him, "This place is not without danger. If you encounter an enemy, you must take the best policy to save your life. No matter how injured you are, as long as you are still half breathing, you will naturally recover slowly if you lie still for a while. But if you die, , you are really dead - in the stone chambers of Qingming Pavilion, there are many bodies that have lost their souls for tens of thousands of years." Qingming raised his second finger, "Cultivation in the Wilderness of Illusion. , get twice the result with half the effort, there are many benefits, your cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds, and you will not encounter bottlenecks, but no matter the skills, sword techniques, or magical powers, none of them can bring you out of this world. After you go back, you will have to start over. But, at best, it’s just a personal experience that points the way.”
Wei Shiqi nodded, “This is already very rare.” The most fearful thing about cultivation is groping in the dark and making a wrong step. , everything is in vain, practice in the wilderness of illusion, try as boldly as you can, don't worry about making mistakes, this is such an incredible opportunity, it is simply cheating.
"Having said that, it's better to be cautious. If you accidentally go too far and bury your life here, you will never be able to go back." Qingming reminded him, for fear that he would be too angry. If you overdo it, you will harm yourself. The core disciples of the Sword Control Sect who have practiced Qing Ming Jue in the past generations have learned this lesson.
"Thank you, I know it well. But how can I get out of this place?"
Qingming flatly said: "It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out. When will you If you can fly under the Demon Suppression Tower, you will naturally understand it!”
When you enter the Wilderness of Illusion for the first time, you will probably be confused for a while, restless, and ask a lot of questions that you think are important but actually don’t know. , but for Wei Shiqi, everything in front of him seemed familiar. The vitality overwhelmed the body, just like the lcl was filled with insertion plugs, and the soul came to the field of illusion, just like the consciousness entered the "matrix". Experience is wisdom, and there is nothing under the sun. Something new.
"Don't you have anything else to ask?" Wei Shiqi's calmness and calmness confused Qingming.
"Uh..." Wei Shiqi thought for a while and asked, "When you subdued Guo Kui at Jietian Ridge, you persuaded him that Ruan Qing, the Sky Fox, was alive and well in the tower. These years have actually been pretty good. Could it be that Ruan Qing's soul is separated from his body and trapped in this wilderness of illusion, unable to escape?" Qingming laughed, and his expression became very strange, "This... Don't worry about it..."
Wei Shiqi changed the question, "I heard that the leader is in seclusion and cannot be disturbed until the critical moment of Kunlun's life and death. Is he also in the wilderness of illusion? Elder Ruan Jingruan is in retreat in the Demon Suppression Tower. Could it be that she is here too?"
Qingming was speechless. He was so suffocated that he stamped his feet and said, "Oh no. I was in a hurry when I came here and forgot something important. You can practice here and I will come to see you in a few days..." Before he finished speaking, he turned into a ray of clear light, disappeared in an instant, and flew away through the air.
He is the only one left between heaven and earth.
Although Qingming did not answer directly, he actually told him the answer. Guo Kui is here, Ruan Qing is here, Taoist Ziyang is here, and Ruan Jing is here. In this boundless wilderness of illusion, there are countless people he knows or does not know, and they are all here.
He once again set his sights on the Demon Suppression Tower between heaven and earth. Qingming said, "It's easy to get in, but hard to get out. When you can fly under the Demon Suppression Tower, you will naturally understand!" The moment he flew through the air, Wei Shiqi's thoughts were touched. He had a bold idea, which he needed to verify carefully.
Wei Shiqi raised the Hidden Snow Sword again and flew toward the Demon Suppression Tower like lightning, turning into a blue light across the sky. Regardless of the loss of his true energy, he tried his best to activate the flying sword. The wind came in his face, violent and sharp as a sword. When the flying speed of the sword almost reached the limit, the scenery in front of him shook. The world was in chaos, and only the demon suppressing force was there. The tower stood still as before and gradually grew larger in the field of vision. Wei Shiqi felt relieved and knew that he had made the right bet.
The real energy in his body was exhausted. He lowered his flying sword and sat quietly for a moment. As expected, as Qingming said, there was no need to adjust his breath and meditate, no need to take elixirs, no need to swallow monster flesh and blood, and he would be back to his original state in no time. .
He continued to fly with his sword, confirming his guess. After repeated attempts, he figured out the key. To break the illusion and approach the Demon Suppression Tower step by step, the key was speed. If the speed was not fast enough, no matter what, No matter how hard you try, you will only be stuck in place and waste your true energy in vain.
In other words, to leave the field of illusion, it also depends on speed. As long as he is fast enough, he can break the void and return the soul to the body.
Wei Shiqi lay on his back in the grass, looking at the flowing clouds in the sky, and took a long breath. Some of the broken scenes in his memory overlapped with everything in front of him. Once upon a time, he was lying on the soft grass, squinting his eyes and staring at the dazzling sky in a daze. His son was running and playing beside him, shouting, and the yellow-faced woman at home was shouting.Like a hen protecting her calf, she is worried that her son will accidentally fall off his head.
Where is that? Some park? Or the wilderness in the countryside? Their faces have become very blurry. There are no unforgettable memories or heart-wrenching thoughts. When they think of them occasionally, there is only some faint concern and nostalgia left. His past life, everything he owned or discarded, disappeared like a dream, and life started again in another place. It always felt like something was missing. Maybe he planned more carefully and made fewer mistakes, but at the same time he was more sophisticated. With less investment in emotions and with such a mentality, step by step from utilitarianism to coolness, and from coolness to coldness, is it luck or misfortune?
"It might be good to stay here forever, without having to make choices, without having to bear the consequences, being alone and enjoying myself..." He smiled and thought, "Isn't this the life I once dreamed of? ?"
