Passing through the gate, the vision suddenly opened up. A statue more than ten feet high stood quietly in the atrium, silently waiting for the visitor.
A gust of night wind blew past with an unknown fragrance of flowers, and rolled up a thick layer of fine sand on the ground, as if covering the statue with a thin golden veil.
Cang Qi didn't move, there was an invisible film blocking him and Jing Li from the wind and sand, no matter how high the dust was, it couldn't touch the corners of their clothes.
Jing Li didn't pay attention to the layer of sand barrier, at this moment, his attention was completely focused on this halfway.
If the cyan passage that he walked after coming out of the illusion was elegant; the aisle full of murals that he passed through afterwards was simple and atmospheric; then, the feeling that this atrium gave him was that it was barren.
The sky is full of wind and sand, withered vines and old trees, and giant statues eroded by time.
No matter which one it is, it is undoubtedly declaring that this place has been forgotten by time, and it has become more and more desolate as time goes by.
Except for the non-stop night wind and the flying sand lining, everything here seems to be frozen.
Jing Li couldn't help raising his head, looked at the countless stars twinkling in the dark blue night sky, for some reason, suddenly felt a little sad.
Even though it is covered by sand, one can still see from the glimpse of its brilliance when it was blown up by the wind, just like the owner of this place, even though he was looking down on the world at the beginning, he has already followed him. Together, the atrium disappears in the long river of time and fades away from people's memory.
Thinking of myself, disappearing from the original world, but I don't know, who will remember him, even if he does, how long can he remember?
For a while, some fell into it.
"Senior brother."
Suddenly, a icy sword intent suddenly appeared, causing Jing Li to shudder uncontrollably. When he came back to his senses, he saw Cang Qi's indifferent face.
Jing Li was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly realized.
The owner of this inheritance, I really don't know who it is, has set up tricks everywhere, and if you don't pay attention, you will be taken advantage of.
For Jing Li, the past is a deep scar that he wants to hide, but it has been uncovered again and again in this inheritance. Apart from the initial moment of calmness, it is more of vigilance.
He absolutely does not hope that anyone who comes here in the future can expose his scars, and the prerequisite to prevent this situation is that his own Dao Xin needs to be strong enough so that others will not take advantage of it.
Having made up his mind, he saw Cang Qi's face turned slightly cold, thought for a while, and soon figured out the key point.
From the day he entered Jiuhua as a teacher, compared to his master Mingxuan, who is a madman in retreat, in terms of practice, Cang Qi, a senior brother, taught him a lot. It has been emphasized more than once.
And just stumbled in the illusion, thanks to the other party pulling him back; who knows, it didn't take long before he was taken advantage of again in front of the other party.
Even though Jing Li was usually not thin-skinned, he felt a little embarrassed this time, coughed dryly, and said embarrassingly, "I was not cautious enough just now, I promise, there will be no next time."
Cang Qi looked at Jing Li for a long time, then nodded and said, "Next time, I will lock you into the Thousand Illusion Pavilion, and when I can find out, I will release you."
When Cang Qi said this, his tone was particularly understated. If he hadn't heard the three keywords of Qianhuan Pavilion, Jing Li would have thought that the other party was saying that the weather is good today.
Jing Li twitched the corners of his mouth. The Thousand Illusion Pavilion is a very special existence in the Jiuhua Sect. Its specialness lies in the fact that at the beginning of the establishment of the Jiuhua Sect, there was an astoundingly talented teacher who entered the Tao with formations. Uncle, in order to benefit future generations, exhausted all his life's knowledge before his ascension, and integrated all the more than 3000 formations he knew into a heavenly magic weapon, refining the Thousand Illusion Pavilion.
Killing array, trapping array, phantom array...
There are many types of formations in the world, and the Thousand Illusion Pavilion has them all, and they are all in the bag.
It is an excellent place for trials.
Of course, this Thousand Illusion Pavilion is not accessible to everyone - when the master uncle forged the Thousand Illusion Pavilion, it was already in the late stage of crossing the tribulation, and he was short of a leap, and his strength had reached a terrifying level. The Thousand Illusion Pavilion has achieved a perfect trial effect on the disciples of the Nine Flowers Sect, so all the high-level formations are integrated.
Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, the formation that the master uncle integrated into, the lowest level is the ground level.
In terms of quality, it is particularly tall and stylish.
so that...
Jiuhuazong lost many disciples in Qianhuan Pavilion...
Then, a certain head teacher of the Nine Flowers Sect clearly stipulated that those who entered the Thousand Illusion Pavilion for trial must be above the Golden Core stage before they could enter.
Although Jing Li is only at the late stage of foundation establishment, and logically cannot enter the Thousand Fantasy Pavilion, Jing Li has no doubts about the authenticity of Cang Qi's words, and he is very sensible, saying that he has really been taught this time.
Cang Qi responded noncommittally.
After a while, just when Jing Li thought the alarm had been lifted, he suddenly heard Cang Qi ask.
"What did you encounter in the illusion?"
Jing Li paused, and although he didn't turn his head, he could feel Cang Qi's gaze from behind him falling directly on his back, like a thorn on his back.
What did he meet in the illusion, and when they met in the tunnel, Cang Qi didn't open his mouth, and he was naturally happy not to mention it, but he didn't expect that because of the carelessness just now, Cang Qi still became suspicious.
For a moment, Jing Li felt that the raging sand and dust around him seemed to have stopped, and the surrounding was eerily quiet.
Time passed bit by bit, but Cang Qi didn't urge him, but stood behind him, waiting for his answer.
Undoubtedly, to Jing Li, Cang Qi is special, the only existence he can trust in the entire cultivation world.
But this does not mean that he is willing to tell the other party those things.
He didn't want Cang Qi to know about his experiences when he was a child—the useless work he did to get his parents' love, the disappointment he hoped for the past time and time again.
At least not now.
However, he hoped in his heart that someone could open the locked door.
After being silent for a while, Jing Li turned around helplessly, with a blank expression on his face, twitched the corners of his mouth, and replied evasively, "I saw everyone disappear, and I was the only one left."
Jing Li looked directly into Cang Qi's eyes, paused for a while, then chuckled again, and said in a low voice. "Even senior brother, you are gone."
The almost whispering murmur was blown into the air by the night wind.
Cang Qi narrowed his eyes.
No matter how quiet Jing Li said that sentence, but as a monk, his facial features are already sharp, not to mention that Cang Qi has been paying attention to the other party, how could he miss it.
After Jing Li finished speaking, he looked at Cang Qi innocently, as if he wasn't the one who spoke just now.
Cang Qi glanced at Jing Li, who seemed to be indifferent, and did not miss the flash of loneliness in the other's eyes. .
This deja vu scene reminded him of the appearance when the other party mentioned his family members that day on the Infinity Wasteland.
Cang Qi's brows couldn't help but crease a little more.
Jing Li, who had been secretly watching Cang Qi's reaction, couldn't help but his eyes darkened.
Cang Qi couldn't help but frowned and said, "Why does Junior Brother think that I will leave?"
……kindness?
Jing Li was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, he saw Cang Qi walking towards him slowly.
He and Cang Qi are only a few steps away.
Even though Cang Qi didn't walk fast, he walked in front of him in a short while.
Jing Li once told him about the family affairs, although he only mentioned it briefly, but it can be seen from the inside.From Jing Li's expression, it is not difficult to guess the environment in which the other party lived since he was a child.
Since the two had known each other for half a year, excluding their respective retreats and a certain accident, for the rest of the time, the two could almost be regarded as inseparable.
After many contacts, Cang Qi definitely understands him better than Jing Li thought.
But because of this, Cang Qi was a little displeased.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly thought of something, his face eased a little, but the wrinkles between his brows were still not flattened, he was silent for a while before he spoke.
"In the matter of Nightmare Forest, it was indeed my negligence that caused you to suffer. Since I promised you that day, no matter what, I should do it, but because of my negligence, it is indeed my fault to make you suffer." Regardless of the promise that day What is the reason, since he agreed, he should do it, but it is only Jing Li who has repeatedly broken his promise.
The matter of Nightmare Forest is not only Jing Li's inner demon, but to Cang Qi, it is also his biggest failure after rebirth.
Hearing Cang Qi mention the matter of Nightmare Forest, Jing Li was puzzled at first, and then, a strange flash of eyes flashed in his eyes, what would Cang Qi do when he heard this matter, could it be...
"Well, senior brother... That incident...wasn't your fault..." Who would have thought that there would be a teleportation array there, besides, Cang Qi had already appeared when he needed it most, so, then For Jing Li, the memory of one night is not completely dark.
Moreover, after experiencing the previous illusion, Jing Li completely let go of the murder for the first time that night. When he heard Cang Qi talking about it in a tone of self-blame, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, for fear that the other party was too stubborn and kept talking about it. Tangled in this matter, Jing Li hurriedly searched for new topics to distract the other party's attention.
"Besides, senior brother himself said it himself, won't there be a second time? That's why I put your sword intent on my bell, this time I fell into a fantasy, isn't it because senior brother helped me? Don't mention the past, otherwise, I will feel guilty." It's enough to make people blame themselves because of their own sense of responsibility when they don't do anything to others.
Cang Qi was silent for a long time after hearing the words, and then said indifferently, "If that's the case, why doesn't Junior Brother believe me?"
"?" Jing Li's eyes widened, and he said in astonishment, "When did I not believe in senior brother?" Just kidding, no one doubts you in the entire cultivation world, senior brother...
Cang Qi lowered his eyes slightly, unmoved. "If you really believe me, you are in the illusion first, and your bell will not ring."
If it is your inner demon to you, if you really believe that I can protect you, so what, you will fall into a deep illusion and cannot extricate yourself.
Jing Li was stunned.
If it is true, he has never lied, whether it is about the demons or Cang Qi's promise.But he's not as honest as he says he is.
It wasn't until this moment, when Cang Qi pointed it out, that he suddenly realized that, in fact, he did not believe Cang Qi, not that he didn't believe that the other party would protect him well, but that he didn't believe that the other party would always be by his side.
So in his mind, the promises of the inner demon and Cang Qi are not contradictory and can coexist.
Jing Li suddenly lowered his head, with a hint of embarrassment pierced on his face.
The night wind had stopped at some point, and the dust dancing in the air also quietly fell to the ground.
The entire atrium suddenly fell silent.
Quiet can only hear each other's shallow breathing.
A strand of long black hair that didn't belong to him slid across his cheeks, with a slight itchiness.
Dry and warm hands raised Jing Li's face, Jing Li had to raise his eyes, his eyes and the other's eyes simply touched together.
The distance between the two of them was too close, and he could clearly see himself nervous and helpless in the other's pupils.
"I will always be there, at any moment when you look up."
A gust of night wind blew past with an unknown fragrance of flowers, and rolled up a thick layer of fine sand on the ground, as if covering the statue with a thin golden veil.
Cang Qi didn't move, there was an invisible film blocking him and Jing Li from the wind and sand, no matter how high the dust was, it couldn't touch the corners of their clothes.
Jing Li didn't pay attention to the layer of sand barrier, at this moment, his attention was completely focused on this halfway.
