mirage master

"What do you mean?" Grandpa Li exhaled and leaned back on the chair and said, "Isn't it obvious? I am the city lord you are looking for."

I don't know what to say, this incident is a bit beyond my expectation, I never thought that the owner of the city is actually Grandpa Li, so why did you help me when I was on the mountain...

I walked up to him and said, "Grandpa Li...why?"

"what why?"

"Why are you here?"

Grandpa Li chuckled and said, "I'm the city lord, of course I'm here."

"Then the things you told me are all false? Companion? Belongs to everyone's life? These are all false?"

"Of course not!" Grandpa Li said suddenly and seriously, "The reason why I help you is because I want you to succeed."

"Go home successfully?" I asked puzzled.

"Yes, because you succeeded, I am free."

I looked at Yang Qing. Yang Qing was still staring at Grandpa Li with a serious face. I don’t know what he was thinking. What is going on, if he is the city lord, shouldn't he stop us? He can do it when he is on the mountain, and he doesn't have to wait until now?

I hurriedly asked: "Can you speak more clearly?!"

Grandpa Li sighed, lit a cigarette on the table, took a puff and said: "When I first arrived in the underground beast city, I was just like you. I couldn't believe that I came to such an inexplicable place, so I tried my best at the beginning. I was lucky enough to meet a few of them, my partners, who were willing to find the way back with me. After living here for a few years, they accidentally let us know that it is possible to pass through the city lord. I was very excited, thinking that I could finally go back, so we collected six keys after passing through five levels, and finally came to the boundary of heaven. I didn’t expect this to be the beginning of a nightmare.” Grandpa Li closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

I looked at him anxiously and couldn't wait to know what was going on behind me. Just as I was about to ask, Yang Qing stopped me and shook his head at me. need the watering of life."

"The irrigation of life?" I walked up to Heiwen and said, "What is the irrigation of life?"

Hei Wen said slowly: "The sky boundary not only needs six keys to open, but also needs the dedication of life, but even if we can sacrifice our lives, we cannot easily open the door back."

"What do you mean?" I looked at Heiwen in a panic, as if I understood what happened to them back then.

Hei Wen continued: "The lock on the Tianjie gate is in the courtyard. To open the lock, you must go down into the well with six keys, but there are not only six locks, but dozens of locks of different colors. If you make a mistake, you will be swallowed by the patio. At first we finally knew which locks were correct, but...Once the back door is opened, the patio will be automatically closed, and the people inside will not come out, so I said The boundary of the sky needs the irrigation of life to open it."

"Then you didn't open the door?"

Yang Qing turned his head and said, "Yes, we were all swallowed up by the courtyard, and then placed in the underground animal farm."

I said to Grandpa Li: "Then what do you mean by liberation?"

Grandpa Li said: "I was swallowed by the courtyard just like them, but I found a teleportation stone in the well, as long as I crush it, I can go to the place I want, but what I don't know is the teleportation stone in the courtyard is There is a price to pay. When I was teleported out of the well, I found that my companion was gone. The price of the teleportation stone was to sacrifice the life of my companion in exchange for mine, so I carried the life of my companion on my body, but I was too Tired, I have been looking for someone who can free me from the shackles, but the people who were sent back to the underground animal farm from the well did not have the bodies of the original world, and here we all exist in the form of souls, so we simply met now You, you are the one who is destined!"

I was shocked to hear what Grandpa Li told me, and I couldn't tell the truth from the fake: "You mean that everyone in Mirage exists in the form of soul now?!"

"That's right, what the patio devours is the human body, and what remains is the soul."

"Then... Brother Qing, Heiwen, and Wang Li are all souls? But..." I was so confused that I didn't know how to express my doubts, as if the whole world knew something and I However, he felt full of doubts. If what Grandpa Li said was true, then what he meant was that anyone who came to the mirage would be returned to the underground animal farm in the form of a soul if he was swallowed by the sky boundary. But why did Yang Qing , Hei Wen and Wang Li will know me?By the way, isn't it my first time here?If I'm not here for the first time, then I... am I also a soul?

Grandpa Li walked up to me and said: "This is why you are destined. You have been to a mirage, but for some reason you were not swallowed by the courtyard, and you managed to return to the real world. Although I don't know why you Back here, but you are the one most likely to destroy the mirage, and then this place will no longer exist, and I will finally be free!"

My mind was in a mess when I heard about destroying the mirage: "Why destroy the mirage?"

"If you don't destroy this place, more people will be hurt. Don't you want to end all this sooner?"

I want to say something but I don't know what to say, it's good to destroy the mirage, but... aren't Yang Qing, Hei Wen and Wang Li and everyone here destroyed?There was a war between heaven and man in my mind, and I squatted on the ground with my head supported.

Yang Qing took my hand and squeezed it comfortingly and said: "Don't think too much, you need to calm down, find a suitable opportunity and I will tell you what happened."

I nodded in a hurry, and leaned against Yang Qing weakly, I couldn't care about what I was doing now, what Grandpa Li said gave me indigestion.Heiwen asked in time beside him: "Do you know how to destroy a mirage?"

Grandpa Li said with a smile: "Of course, otherwise, what is the purpose of my patience these past few years?!"
