"This..." Seeing the situation in front of him, Qi Xiu clenched the Yingying Sword tightly with one hand, and stretched out the other hand to block Li Jian, fearing that some sneaky creature would come out and attack him.

Li Jian patted Qi Xiu on the shoulder, told him to put down his hands, and then walked forward, as if he wanted to re-enter the thick fog.

"Master—" Qi Xiu stepped forward and held Li Jian's arm as usual.

"It's okay. I just think it's a little strange." Li Jian looked at the thick fog, "I thought those two little dolls had no bad intentions. Now it seems that it is indeed the case."

"You mean, instead of harming us, they sent us out?" Qi Xiu asked.

"Maybe. But it's also very strange. The two of them didn't know that they were dead, or even what happened here. Logically, they wouldn't know that there was danger in this valley, so there was no need to send us out." Li Jane frowned, "Besides, I think the two of them are only half entities, as ghosts... Their spiritual power is really not strong, and they shouldn't have such great power. They can send you and me out without a sound. It's about you Mother, I think, if you want to know the truth, you'd better go in and have a look."

If so, Li Jian and Qi Xiu stepped into the thick fog again.

Then came two familiar voices.

"Hey, here are two more brothers. They look so good-looking."

"These two brothers are holding hands. Oh, how embarrassing. We girls hold hands when we walk together."

Li Jian frowned and asked, "Zi Lu, Zi Yang? Is it you?"

Ziyang said: "Hey, good-looking brother, how do you know my name?"

Qi Xiu took a step forward. "We met yesterday, don't you remember?"

Zilu then said: "No. Well... Let me think about it, Ziyang and I were playing games yesterday. This morning... I talked to my parents, and I went to help Uncle Wang walk his dog in the morning. I'm sure , I have never seen you!"

Talk to parents in the morning and walk the dog in the afternoon.No matter how familiar these words sounded, Li Jian remembered that Zi Lu and Zi Yang had just said these words yesterday.At this point, Li Jian felt that things were getting more and more strange. ——Did they lose their memory, or...

Li Jian thought of something, and immediately asked, "This year, what year is it?"

"This year..." Ziyang seemed to be thinking, "Ah, by the way, this year is... ah, the first year of Xuande."

——The first year of Xuande?That should be the year when Qi Xiu's father first succeeded to the throne.

Twenty-two years ago, the current Emperor Xuande was still the prince. He was eager for quick success and quick profit to personally conquer Fengyuguan, just to fight for the reserve, but he returned in a big defeat.I thought he would be affected and lose the battle for storage.Unexpectedly, four years later, that is, 22 years ago, the first emperor suddenly passed on the throne to him.

In the same year, a snowstorm broke out in Taohuaxi Valley.Emperor Xuande was willing to open the treasury to provide relief. Presumably he thought that he had just taken office and his foundation was unstable, so as to win the hearts of the people.I don't know why, but the people in Taohuaxi Valley all died.

Not only are they dead, but now it feels like they will stay in this year forever, even...the day before they died.No wonder the two sisters called Mu Xiangyi "sister" and Qi Xiu "brother".

"Brothers, do you want to go to my house to play? Hmm...do you have anything to eat? You're so hungry." Zilu asked again.

Li Jian thought, the pill was given to them yesterday, what should I give them today?He frowned and stretched out his hand to touch his bosom, only to realize that the elixir that was supposed to be sent out yesterday appeared in his bosom again.

Li Jian suppressed the surprise in his heart, and gave the two sisters the pill as a snack. This time, instead of following them home, he asked, "Where did your parents go? Let's go, Let's get you something to eat together."

"They... have gone to the east." Ziyang's voice came.

"I see. You go home quickly. Let's go." Li Jian said.

"Okay. There will be devils tonight. Remember to come back early! Goodbye, good-looking brothers!" Zilu said.

After a while, Li Jian and Qi Xiu went east together.

"Master, is the elixir you took just now the one you sent out yesterday?" Qi Xiu couldn't help asking on the way.

"Yes. So I have a terrible idea." Li Jian said seriously, "The people here... no, it should be said that the souls here are all trapped. They are not trapped by the geographical location, but by the Time trapped."

Qi Xiu said: "Master means...they will live in the same day forever. The sun rises and the moon sets outside, which is a new day. In this Peach Blossom Valley...the same day repeats forever. And these ghosts have lost their memory, and Didn't know I was living my life on repeat."

"Yes. The elixir that was given out reappeared, and we returned to the starting point when we came. I am afraid that we will also be trapped in this day. However, unlike those two sisters, we at least remember this matter. If we lose Memory... that is the same as them, always thinking that we just came here."

Speaking of this, Li Jian shuddered a little.Fortunately, he and Qi Xiu remembered what they had experienced.Otherwise, it would be terrible to be trapped in this eternal day unknowingly.Because they don't even know they're trapped.

Afterwards, Qi Xiu took out the Yingying Sword, dragged himself and Li Jian up with the sword, and then went east.

Qi Xiu also tried to go upwards, thinking that maybe he could see the situation clearly by flying to the sky.But for some reason, the more it flew up, the thicker the white fog became.In the end, Qi Xiu had no choice but to give up.

After walking for dozens of miles to the east, it seemed that he heard some voices. Qi Xiu retracted the Yingying sword and brought Li Jian to the ground.

Qi Xiu used the technique of improving eyesight again, and this time, he saw many translucent souls.This group of souls walked forward in groups, and the leader was a woman, she was wearing a green dress, her eyes were gentle and majestic.

When Qi Xiu saw it, his pupils suddenly tightened.

Li Jian rushed to Qi Xiu and held his hand suddenly, as if he was trying to restrain himself.

Li Jian naturally heard some footsteps, as if dozens of people were walking.But he couldn't use the name and name technique, and he couldn't see anything in the thick fog.

Li Jian could only ask: "Ah Xiu, what's wrong?"

"I... I saw Concubine Mother." Qi Xiu's small arms trembled slightly, and his voice was extremely low.Then, he closed his eyes and sighed softly, "No, it's not really her. It's her...soul."

Hearing this, Li Jian couldn't help frowning. ——The whereabouts of Mu Xiangyi is a mystery.If it's always a mystery, that's fine too.At least she might still be alive.But now, since her soul appeared, it meant—she was indeed dead.

If she's completely dead, that's all.She left Qi Xiu very early, Qi Xiu was more curious about her than caring about her, in fact he didn't have a deep bond with her.But now, her soul just happened to appear in front of Qi Xiu, and just... let Qi Xiu see her.

As the group of people approached, Qi Xiu pulled Li Jian, and immediately used the technique of holding his breath to shrink his figure.

I only heard someone say: "Fairy, that's great, you are our great benefactor, can we go out?"

"Yes." A majestic and gentle voice appeared, "Go home tonight, everyone, prepare as I said, and gather at the old place tomorrow morning, I will cast spells, and with your cooperation, we can go out. And ...Don't call me Sister Fairy, why not just...call me Miss Mu."

It turned out that this was Mu Xiangyi.

"Miss Mu, then tell me...why did Emperor Xuande do this?" someone asked again.

"Collude with the demon world in exchange for the benefits he wants." Mu Xiangyi's voice was cold, with a trace of pain in it, as if he was regretting that he had loved the wrong person.

After a long while, Mu Xiangyi sighed, and regained his gentleness, "Don't be afraid. I have already contacted my brother, and I will cooperate with the outside. I will rescue everyone tomorrow. After you go out, you can eat whatever you want!"

"Great!"

"Sister Fairy, what can we do!"

The voices of the villagers came one after another.

Hearing such words, Li Jian suddenly felt very sad. - Unbeknownst to all of them, they were all dead long ago.They can't wait for "tomorrow", and they can't get out of this Peach Blossom Valley anymore.

At this time, Mu Xiangyi seemed to have noticed something, and said in a low voice, "Hey—there is a clear air..."

Mu Xiangyi stared, his expression suddenly serious, and he looked in the direction of Qi Xiu and Li Jian. "Which sect and faction are you two, are you an enemy or a friend?"

It seems that even though he used the technique of holding his breath, he still couldn't hide it from his mother.Qi Xiu showed up with Li Jian and looked at Mu Xiangyi.He moved his lips, feeling complicated for a moment, and didn't know what to say.

"No. You are a demon." Mu Xiangyi looked at him, as if he felt something, and his eyes seemed a little moist. "you……"

Qi Xiu knelt down towards her and bowed politely to her. "My son... I have seen my mother and concubine."

"You...you are Axiu? How is it possible? My child is only three years old..." Mu Xiangyi thought of something, and his pupils suddenly dilated, "Could it be..."

When Du Rui woke up, he pressed the back of his head, which was a little sore, and found that he was surrounded by green mountains and green waters.

The waterfall flew straight down and splashed water.And Meng Wanqing was standing in front of the waterfall.The purple robe seemed to be dyed with light, making her look extremely bright and charming.

Du Rui got up and walked towards her. "What's the situation? Where is this? Aren't we in Peach Blossom Valley?"

Meng Wanqing looked at him calmly. "Don't you remember? This is where we first met."

Du Rui remembered.This is indeed the place where he and Meng Wanqing met for the first time more than a hundred years ago, called Meng Huanshan.

However, Dream Mountain is very far away from Peach Blossom Valley, and Du Rui really doesn't know why he came here.

Meng Wanqing pursed her lips and smiled. "The two of them, the master and the apprentice, refused to eat what I made, so I couldn't bring them. But it's good. Don't let them get in the way."

"Do you know teleportation?" Du Rui asked.

"Yes. I'm friends with Zhonglicheng and Mu Xiangyi. They taught me. Back then, we tried to save the people in Taohuaxi Valley together. But we failed." Meng Wanqing smiled, "The teleportation technique is not difficult. The cultivation base is not good. Advanced people can also use it, as long as they know how to use the spiritual power of all things."

"I don't believe that your cultivation can spread me so far. These two places are together thousands of miles away." Du Rui said.

Meng Wanqing was helpless. "Okay. I can't hide it from you. This is still Peach Blossom Valley, okay? But, we are in the illusion I created."

"What do you mean?" Du Rui looked at her, "Wanqing, you—what's wrong with you?"

Meng Wanqing's expression was still calm, her eyes reflected the green mountains and clear waters, but what she said made people feel like falling three feet into an ice cellar. "Did you know? There is only one day in the Peach Blossom Valley. This is what Mu Xiangyi spent her entire life in order to save people, and even sacrificed her life. Her original intention was to save people, but in the end it backfired. I borrow this way The shackles of time have built this illusion, you and I will stay here forever, okay?"

"Wanqing, are you crazy?" Du Rui turned pale with shock.He never knew that the seemingly indifferent Meng Wanqing had such terrible methods.

"Maybe. I've been crazy for a long time." Meng Wanqing looked at him with a slight smile, as if she had just met him, "Life is just like the first time I saw it. Too many people like this sentence, because they all want to go back to the beginning .Now, don't I let us stay forever on the day we first met?"
