Both Shi Bantang's "falling into the ditch" and the messenger's "falling into the water" are obviously not completely accurate descriptions. If you really want to say it, it should be "planted in the river".

Shen Yan and the two followed Lao Litou to the house non-stop. Before entering the door, they saw a spacious and comfortable carriage parked outside the yard. It was well-made, but the style was worn out. The horses pulling the cart had long since disappeared. Only the solitary car body was left, like an abandoned toddler, stunned pitifully at the door, the curtain of the carriage was wet and dripping, it looked like it had just been fished out of the water, combined with the son of the old Li family It is not difficult to think about the cause and effect of what happened to him. Shen Yan put down Shi Bantang who had been making trouble on his back. The latter limped for two steps and began to listen to the old Li's wall wholeheartedly.Shen Yan took two steps around the carriage, and found that the same pattern was reflected everywhere, on the roof of the carriage, on the curtains, and even on the small chairs in the carriage. This kind of eye-washing logo that was crazily output made him easily think of it. In some taxi companies in modern times, before he could verify it, Shi Bantang limped over again, holding a candied haws that he touched at some time in his hand, "I figured it out, old Li Daer is a Those high-ranking officials and dignitaries who pull carts, we can call him the coachman for short, seem to be pulling a guest who is going to the Lin family this evening, but the guest is in a hurry, so he rushed a little faster, and slipped on the way to the river bank , Even the coachman and the guest and the carriage fell into the river together, the guest is still alive and dead, I heard that it seems that he will lose money, and now the whole family is crying inside."

Master Bantang chewed it, swallowed one candied haws, took another one in, and continued: "It seems that he rented this carriage from the official, and it belongs to him. Now that the horse is dead, he has to pay for it." Paying the money to the official family will make the family that is already heavily indebted even worse."

Shen Yan: "What is the identity of that guest who is in a hurry?"

Shi Bantang was chewing candied haws, his eyes outlined by the lights were extraordinarily black and bright, "Is this important?"

Shen Yan patiently explained to him: "Since the secret realm has created such a large situation, there must be a main story line in this vast situation, and the entire city is full of relying on this story line, just like a novel will definitely There is a main plot, like an absolute protagonist, we are in a secret realm, and we don’t understand its intention for the time being, so we can only use the main plot as a breakthrough to find the source of everything.”

"...I didn't think about it so much, but I just thought it was a bit weird.

Shi Wantang frowned slightly, as if he was moved by his words, he immediately turned around, and climbed up the big tree outside the wall of Old Li's house, his movements were so flexible that he didn't look like a person with a broken foot at all. .

He listened for a while, then turned it down again, and this time there was another bunch of candied haws in his hand, Shen Yan was shocked: "... Where did you come from?!"

Shi Bantang ignored him, and took care of his own thoughts: "It is said that the person who praised the in-laws of the Lin and Zhao families, an elderly gentleman, seems to be the elder of the Zhao family whose family tree is on the family tree, to show respect, the old man The route and costumes that Mr. Zhao praised were all arranged by the Patriarch of the Zhao family himself. After all the meticulous care, there was such a big mistake. He was very angry at the moment, and sent someone to scold the eldest son of the Li family. Showering head, the Lin family should be the man of the banquet, I have indeed heard the joyful sound of the suona, why don't you go to the Lin family to see? Calculate this time, it is almost time to visit the hall."

Shen Yan wiped off the sugar residue from the corner of his lips, and sighed: "Let's join Ji Min and the others first, don't make them wait."

Shi Wantang nodded, and the two walked back and forth with the two extra sticks of candied haws.

Ji Min and other ghosts stayed in one of the best big inns in the area. The dome was so grand that Shen Yan found the target easily. To his surprise, "Shen Yan" was also there. Along with Ji Min and others, they were in the lobby of the inn wait for him.

The young man in white clothes and black trousers has a gentle temperament, which is particularly eye-catching among the crowd of little ghosts. Shen Yan put down his teacher Bantang, frowned and walked over, "Didn't you go to pursue freedom?"

"Shen Yan" turned his face. There were several obvious scratches on his fair and handsome face. At this moment, Shen Yan saw that the skin exposed on his wrist was wrapped in white gauze that oozes blood. There are still some tiny traces left by the cleaning, but it has been ironed very neatly. Shen Yan glanced at him from top to bottom, and said speechlessly: "Obsessive-compulsive disorder has learned ten percent."

"Shen Yan" subconsciously reached out to push the glasses, only to push them to an empty space. Remembering that the glasses had been gloriously killed in the "freedom struggle" just now, he rubbed the tip of his nose without changing his face, and said, "I just received a severe beating from the society. The secret realm taught me to be a man once, and I plan to change my mind from now on and keep myself safe."

Shen Yan poured a cup of tea and raised his eyebrows, "Stop fighting?"

"Shen Yan" said peacefully: "I won't fight anymore, I am willing to stay in this beautiful illusion and enjoy the rest of my life."

Shen Yan handed him a glass of water, noncommittal.

He knows exactly what kind of person he is, and he says he can forget it, but he doesn't necessarily plan some small Jiujiu in his heart, so it's fine to listen to it, he is really a fool, Shen Yan said: "Go outside the city gone?"

"Ah."

Generally speaking, the energy of a secret realm is not enough for it to create the whole world, so in order to maintain the sense of reality in this semi-realistic secret realm, there are two methods: first, use illusion to act on the intruder to create a The illusion of the intruder is born according to the mind of the intruder. No matter what can be displayed in front of your eyes, it is a pity that it is not real enough. If the caster is firm enough, the illusion will be broken by itself.The second method consumes a huge amount of energy to create a real paradise. Some people have stories, and the sense of reality is enough. However, this method has a fatal weakness, which is the limitation of the scope. Not restricted by the secret realm.

Shen Yan had thought about it before, where is the edge of this secret realm?If the secret realm creates the entire city, is the city gate the exit?

Sure enough, "Shen Yan" tried it.

"The city gate is indeed an exit, but the defense is extremely strict, not the kind of artificial defense... The entire environment outside the city is the strongest blocker. Extending from the city gate, nearly 500 meters are swamps. The poison in the air The fog is highly corrosive. In addition, there are plants like piranhas that don’t want to devour you all the time." "Shen Yan" raised his finger and rubbed his eyebrows, "A military base that is more terrifying than a military base." Strength, it won't last for a quarter of an hour, and it's still unknown whether there are more dangers 500 meters away, and it has no intention of letting us go out through the city gate at all."

"..." Shen Yan said, "I guessed it."

"None of the differentiation secret realms in the secret realm of the gods is easy to mess with. I have spent a lot of spiritual energy after I came out of the dragon slaying. The particularity of the gods is that there is no spiritual energy to absorb, and it has never stopped attacking intruders. Even if there is nothing after 500 meters, I can't make it through, and Shi Wantang and I are both injured now, it is unrealistic to take such a large group of people out, we have to find another way."

"Shen Yan" nodded in sympathy, rubbing the rim of the cup with his fingertips, narrowing his amber eyes slightly, and just about to say something, suddenly he caught a glimpse of Shi Bantang standing behind Shen Yan from the corner of his eye. , lightly fixed on the opponent for two seconds, then looked away as if nothing had happened.

Shi Wantang said: "I just asked Xiaoer about it, and there are some important clues, do you want to listen?"

Holding a plate of hibiscus osmanthus cake in his arms, he gnawed slowly, like a well-fed little animal leisurely enjoying his dessert. "Shen Yan" stood up with insight, nodded and said: " Let's talk, I'll go back to my room first." From the beginning to the end, he didn't look at Shi Wantang again.

Shen Yan felt sincere admiration for his self-control. He watched that guy's figure go away deeply. Shi Bantang sat down beside him, and asked a little strangely: "Who is he?"

Since the appearance of this person, Shi Wantang has never asked about his origin, this is because of his unreserved trust in Shen Yan.The latter smiled and said frankly, "Me."

Shi Wantang: "Huh?"

Shen Yan emphasized his tone, "My replica."

"..." Shi Wantang's nod fell from the tips of his fingers to the plate and then rolled from the plate to the table. He hesitated to pick up the snacks, while questioning with the look of "I don't study much, don't lie to me" Look at Shen Yan.

"No kidding, don't you think he looks like me in every way except his appearance?"

Shi Wantang recalled it seriously for a moment, "Don't say it, I just think his eyes are very similar to yours, and I thought you two were close."

Shen Yan was helpless: "You have known me for many years, who have you seen me get close to?"

"...That's true." Shi Wantang nodded in agreement, digested the news for a moment, and suddenly slapped the table in surprise, "Hey! So he is also a counterfeit! Shen Yan, don't worry, my seat Now I’m going to help you slice him into sliced ​​noodles, and I will never let him take advantage of it!”

Shen Yan was startled by him, and quickly grabbed his wrist, "Why are you going?"

"Sliced ​​noodles with a knife!"

"..." Shen Yan said: "You sit down first, I also have some news to share with you."

Shi Wantang glanced at him hesitantly, and sat down obediently.

"When we came here, we passed many houses and shops, and we went in to check them out. Did you find anything weird?"

Shi Wantang thought for a while, "Can you give me a specific idea, I am tired of guessing bit by bit."

Shen Yan had no choice but to say: "In addition to the bronze mirror, there are many unusual details in this city - the low table in the restaurant, there are two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table but only one stool; there should be black and white on the Go board. There is a pair of bracelets in the silver shop, but the other has been damaged by external force and cannot be worn." He glanced at Shi Bantang and said, "It seems that someone is in the dark. Guiding us, including the unreasonable hostility of the replicas, it seems that there is a pair of behind-the-scenes pushers who deliberately lead us into the opposite from the beginning to the end."

"... If you compare us and the replicas to twins, then these details are to remind us that there can only be one of the two." Shi Bantang finally became serious, and his eyebrows and eyes were as bright as ancient paintings. He frowned, then shook his head again, "But that's not right. Throughout the ages, I've never heard of that secret realm that specifically guides intruders to break through... Isn't it messing with us?"

"Looking at the current situation, it is really messing with us." Shen Yan's heart slowly fell back into his stomach, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a headache: "You really have to change your disinterested temper, otherwise Someday it will be sold by others, and I will help count the money.”

Shi Wantang rolled his eyes at him, "In the face of absolute force, all conspiracies and tricks are trivial - I will try my best to get closer to that absolute force until the day when no one can hurt me .”
