Bamboo horse's wrong posture

When I opened my eyes, I saw a huge ice sheet, which was incredibly flat and smooth.And the sky is full of all kinds of strange-shaped clouds, clusters of fluff, slowly overlapping shapes under the agitation of the breeze, and are reflected on the mirror surface of the smooth ice sheet together with the sky from dark blue clouds to light blue .

Every step is like walking between the sky.

Directly ahead, an illusory figure gradually took shape and landed on the ice that was only a few steps away from Baiyue.

The background of the moon-white loose long hair is the blue light of the sky, the young man's face is soft and handsome, behind him are nine tails floating behind, and on the top of his head are the same fox ears as Bai Yue; in the youth While falling silently on the ice, the hands slowly unfolded as the body fell.

"Hello, child of the same clan."

Bai Yue could clearly feel that he was in an illusion.

Although it is only his spirit here, the intuition of being an ancient race has not been lost.This place is extraordinarily grand and huge. It is definitely not an illusion that ordinary people can casually construct, but it is so simple that there is no disguise. With a glance of the eyes and a breath, one can easily judge whether it is true or false.

Of course, the so-called easy identification is only for Bai Yue, and only in the eyes of Tianhuan Linghu, the thousands of illusions are just passing by.

Bai Yue lowered his head obediently, like a child waiting for an adult to speak to him.

Bai Yue could guess who the figure in front of him was, that moon-white long loose hair, that tail and ears exactly like his own, and an inexplicably friendly feeling... Especially when the other person spoke, the entire sky was filled with clouds and waves. The flow of the body has accelerated a bit, as if it is about to come back to life.

"It's lonely alone, isn't it?" The other party lowered his head with a smile, and clapped his hands on Bai Yue's small shoulders.

He just raised his hand slightly, and raised it slightly upwards. Skyscrapers, large and small, tall and low, rose from the ground.Just like building blocks, the street trees are crooked one by one, growing out from the newly emerged or cement or asphalt road side, with luxuriant branches and leaves.There are endless cars on the street, the shutters of various shops are also pulled up, the soft lights are slowly turned on, and the last thing to appear are pedestrians coming and going on the sidewalk.

Surprised that the strands of hair on his chest had disappeared, Bai Yue was about to touch his hair when he saw the glass window of a clothing store shining brightly.

The fox's ears and tail are still inserted into the body, but the still moon-white hair has been shortened, and it has become the most common and healthy appearance in the previous life.The blouse he was wearing also changed into a blue-and-black hoodie. As Bai Yue turned around, the elastic band of the hat also rose and stagnated in a circular arc.

The city I lived in before, the clothes I liked the most before, if I didn’t have ears and tails and hair color...

so good.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of someone waving at the coffee shop on the corner of the street, and he was stunned for a while. Bai Yue took a step forward and pushed aside the brown curtain of the coffee shop. The working girl smiled, bent over here and said, "Welcome."

Above, intuition says so.

He went up to the second floor, and the seat by the window actually changed into a modern attire. The young man sat on the side of the table, holding his chin and smiling softly, almost no different from Zhuyin.

"How do you feel, this place?" The waiter would call the waiter with ease, "Two cups of coffee with sugar and no need to add ice, thank you." Nine tails dangled behind him, and the young man took a sip, holding the steaming cup with a look of happiness From the corner of his eye, he observed Bai Yue's reaction.

In the rolled-rim coffee cup in front of him, the brown turbid liquid was still steaming sweet and sweet. Pick it up, take a sip, and the taste is exactly the same as the memory from the previous life.Lowering his eyelids, Bai Yue put down his cup.

"Senior, this is an illusion." Bai Yue asked knowingly.

Leaving aside his keen intuition for illusions, Bai Yue has not forgotten the fact that he still has three tails behind him and two big ears on his head.Both are large, fluffy, and squishy is something that can be seen at a glance.

The white hair can be explained as dyed, but the ears and tail are obviously non-human parts, which will only attract screams, crowds, and surprises—but in fact, everyone I met here...for the two foxes The anomalies are ignored.

This is not what happens in the real world at all.

"About this judgment, you know it in your own mind." He took another sip of coffee cheerfully, and the young man with loose long hair blinked his eyes, "I want to ask you, where is this place? I have never seen it before. through a place like this."

Crowds of people are crowded outside the huge window, cars are coming and going, and classical western music is played in a loop in the cafe, with a soothing and smooth rhythm. This kind of scene cannot be seen in the world of self-cultivation anyway.

It's natural, it's not a world anymore.

So Bai Yue lowered his head, staring at himself reflected in the cup without speaking.

"If you don't want to say it, I won't force you. Everyone has secrets." Standing up and touching Bai Yue's head, the young man supported the table with one hand, looking at the bustling scene outside the window: "I don't want to believe that this is an illusion, Yes or no?"

Nod, indeed.

Yes, sometimes it is just so useless, knowing that it is impossible, but always like to hold on to the tail of the past and refuse to let go.

Then I saw the young man snap his fingers, as if he moved the space.

Everything around began to speed up, people coming and going could no longer see their faces clearly, the speeding cars turned into long strips, the sun rose and set, and the sky was bright and dark like lights in a shadow puppetry.

"The so-called illusion." In the small space where time still flows normally, the young man sat back, looked away, looked at Bai Yue, and said in a louder voice: "It's a spell to trick the other party into 'believing'. You must know, in the final analysis, All illusions are illusions after all, it is impossible to be perfect, without any flaws... That kind of thing does not exist."

When Bai Yue lowered his head to think, Fei Liu's time slowly slowed down again.

Wagging his tail, the young man called the waiter again, squinted for a long time with the list handed over by the other party, and pointed happily, and ordered a milk tea with big pearls, the largest cup.

"I want ice cubes this time, big ones." Bai Yue vaguely heard the senior say this, his tone was heartless and he was very happy.

The waiter wrote furiously, and when the things were brought up on the tray, Bai Yue seemed to have figured it out, raised his eyes, and stared at the senior who was enjoying himself playing in front of him.

"However, why are you willing to believe that this illusion is so flawed now? Why are you unwilling to go out even though you have the ability? If I didn't retain the characteristics of my family when I set up this illusion, would you You have already been deceived? ... This is very strange, isn't it?"

After taking a sip of milk tea, the young man skillfully took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and drew a small circle on his chest with one hand: "This is the problem."

It is a lazy afternoon now, the afterglow of the setting sun is bright red like blood, lightly spreading on the bare desktop.

Probably just when it was time to get off work, downstairs, the wind chimes of the coffee shop rang non-stop, and the seats that were not too many were almost full.In the store, carrying trays, all kinds of people come and go, with different expressions on their faces, but shrewdness and cunning are all written on their faces, lifelike.

"If it's according to the world in your heart." He casually pointed to a man in a suit and leather shoes with a briefcase, "He wants to get promoted."

"She wants to be beautiful." The direction of the finger changed to another person.

"He wants to buy a house."

"He's interested in that woman over there."

"he……"

Greed is followed by greater greed, and the satisfaction of delusions will in turn give rise to even greater fantasies, which are intertwined and connected, leaving the flat avenue of reality and turning into a thorny path. There is no end to it.

If you can induce a little bit from it...then...

I just thought about the meaning of it for a while, and suddenly thought of the most critical thing.Bai Yue raised his head abruptly, and looked at the smiling senior in front of him with a little horror.

"Actually, this is the root of our illusion." Fingers crossed, the young man looked directly into Bai Yue's eyes: "It is an ugly thing in itself."

After speaking, he held up the glass of milk tea with both hands, and swallowed it with special enjoyment, gurgling, so sweet.

Bai Yue secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, not greedy.

When he was suddenly nervous just now, his tail accidentally blew up. It was fluffy, even a bit like a few fluffy feather dusters.In desperation, Bai Yue could only turn his tail around while smoothing his fur, and at the same time look at the nine foxes with bigger tails, "So what does senior mean...?"

"Do you care? Little guy?"

"... A little." Nodding, although he knew that what he said made sense, he always felt that there was some grudge.

"But the law of the cultivation world is like this. The strong can survive, and the weak will be killed. In fact, in the end, being ugly or not is just a means to reverse black and white... all things that can be done after reaching the strength "The waiter was called to take away the cups and plates, but what Bai Yue didn't expect was that the young man actually took out his pockets, bought the bill decently, got the invoice and put it in his pocket with [-]% off, and returned it by the way. He smiled and asked Bai Yue, "Is it right for me to do this?"

Bai Yue nodded silently. He had already seen the dangers of the cultivation world.

Mixed with the sound of the wind chime going out, the waiter said "Thank you for your patronage."

This feeling is really nostalgic, but it is just an illusion after all.

"And don't you have someone you want to protect?" His piercing eyes met Bai Yue's shuttle-shaped pupils, which reflected the slightly immature face of a little boy, and he reached out to touch his soft-haired head, and said with a smile : "For my family, but also for myself, work hard."

Want to protect... people.

It was finally found out.

The scenery in my eyes distorts and changes rapidly. First, people who come and go around me disappear one by one, followed by cars speeding on the road. Between the light and shadow distortions, the skyscrapers that rise from the ground also quickly retract to the ground. The afterglow of the red color finally turned into a harmonious scene of blue sky and white clouds.

It was like waking up from a dream, but fell into another dream.

The ice surface is as smooth as a mirror, slippery enough to make one suspect that one would fall if one walks on it. Looking around, Bai Yue realized that from the beginning to the end, he had been sitting on a square piece of ice, without moving a single bit. .

It's lonely here alone, isn't it?It is indeed lonely.

However, isn't there another person behind him at this time?

The corner of his mouth turned up, he turned his head slightly, and saw the familiar monk's short shirt of the same style at a glance.

Bai Yue closed her eyes and tilted her head, her ears trembling slightly, sleeping soundly.
