red and white

Mu Gesheng's first reaction was to get out as soon as possible. Now is not the time to look at the memory anyway. There is a mess outside. If he is trapped here again, it is hard to imagine how things will end.

However, he is not Chai Shuxin, he does not have a red knife, and he cannot break the illusion in front of him as he pleases. He has spent a long time trying, but it is still in vain.

There are many kinds of illusions. For example, the memory that Anping saw in the dream is the mildest one. Those who enter the illusion can only watch and cannot touch everything in the illusion, and they can wake up easily; he and Chai The Penglai past that Shu Xin saw was more advanced. He could touch things in the illusion, and in the end he could even communicate with the little novice monk.

But the more realistic the illusion, the higher the risk. If the owner of the illusion is malicious, it is more likely to get lost in it.

Tiansuan Yimaikeng's family has never been merciless, it is better to say that it is fun, even if this is the illusion that the little novice wanted him to see, there is no guarantee that there will be no traps, Mu Gesheng cheered up and looked around the scene .

This is a separate courtyard, and the furnishings are somewhat familiar. He opened the door and went out, and saw two pines and cypresses planted outside the door.

Mu Gesheng suddenly remembered what this place was.

This is where they recuperated in Penglai after the Yin soldiers rioted.

This is Song Wentong's yard.

The moment Mu Gesheng lost consciousness, he fell forward. Lin Juansheng was startled, and caught him quickly.

Chai Shuxin suddenly became violent, "Let go!"

The scarlet red saber light exploded in mid-air and collided fiercely with Lin Juansheng's whisk. The ground shook instantly, and the whole building shook.

Zhu Yinxiao saw that the situation was not good, he carried Ubi in one hand and Anping in the other, and shouted: "Banquet!"

Chai Yanyan knew what he meant, she took off her high heels in two or three, and jumped onto Zhu Yinxiao's back barefoot. : "Uncle, you owe me a pair of shoes!"

"Go out and pay you back!" Zhu Yinxiao roared, "Sit still!"

Before the words were finished, the beams of the brick and tile house were smashed down, and there was a tooth-piercing cracking sound from all around, and accompanied by a loud "bang", the whole building broke down in the middle.

The tall building collapsed, drowning out the screams one after another.

Anping was kicked awake.

Zhu Yinxiao grabbed him by the collar, strangled him directly, and finally even passed out.When he woke up, Chai Yanyan was checking his eyelids, Wu Biyou was sitting beside him, saw that he woke up, and snorted: "Vegetable chicken."

Anping reluctantly sat up, and when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, he was completely dumbfounded, "What's going on?"

If it weren't for the hallucinations caused by the concussion, then they are sitting on a broken screen, drifting in the vast ocean.

What about mirage?How did it become the sea?

"A mirage, it is said that the mirage was originally built on the sea." A voice came, and Anping turned his head to look, and found Zhu Yinxiao standing behind him, holding a wormwood in his hand, "You should also pay attention when you come here." Now, the whole building of the mirage is built on the body of the mirage, and the mirage floats in the cycle of water and sky."

Anping remembered the wonderful scene they saw when they came in, and nodded.

"The mirage has a protection mechanism. When the body of the mirage is threatened, the mirage monster will dive underwater and use sea water to protect the body from further damage. At the same time, the water and sky realm also has a defense mechanism. Anyone who causes harm to the mirage will be killed. Clean it up." Zhu Yinxiao said: "My brother and Changsheng Zi's knife directly collapsed the entire building, the defense mechanism was activated, the sea water has flooded up, and now we are all targets to be cleared."

"Then why don't we leave soon?"

"If you can walk, you have to leave." Zhu Yinxiao smiled wryly, "The mirage is built in an extraterritorial environment. It is an independent space. When the defense mechanism is activated, the entrance will also be closed. If the life forms in the space are not cleared, the entrance is It will not be opened again."

Anping's head got dizzy when he heard it, and he looked around, "Are we the only ones now? Where are the others?"

Zhu Yinxiao shook his head, "When the building collapsed, I only had time to hold you back."

"The Yao family has the ability to protect themselves. Although they are lost in all directions, they will not sit still." Chai Yanyan said softly.

"What about Banxian'er and Lingshuzi?"

Wubi's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, "The old man is lost."

lost?

"At that time, he was the closest to the Changshengzi, so he should have been taken away by the Changshengzi." Zhu Yinxiao sighed, "Immortals can only fly to the sky and escape from the ground, so maybe there is a way to get out. As for my brother..."

He pointed not far away, "It's there."

Anping blinked, only to see that the sea was vast and calm.

In the next moment, a huge wave swept across the sky, and Zhu Yinxiao hurriedly backed up with his pole, but the four of them were still splashed all over their faces, and a silver light rushed out from the bottom of the sea, roaring upwards, stirring up countless water jets.

Anping was dumbfounded.

Zhu Yinxiao patted him on the shoulder, "You read that right, it's a dragon."

"Do you remember that when you first came in, there were many silver fish in the realm of water and sky? Those are actually dragon scales. This is also a kind of defense mechanism. Once the sea water floods, the dragon will be awakened and attack everyone .”

Anping didn't know what to say, awesome is awesome, but doesn't this defense mechanism have an identification system?What's the use of using it to attack your own family?

"Actually, it is also to guard against my own family. The seven schools of thought have been passed down for thousands of years. There are countless secret treasures in the mirage, so it is inevitable to guard and steal them. Moreover, the entire space is from the hands of the Mo family. If something goes wrong, Mo Zi will definitely come here as soon as possible. He knows How to press the switch." Seeing Anping's eyes, Zhu Yinxiao waved his hands again and again, "Don't look at me, I lived here with my second child, it doesn't mean I know everything."

Anping pointed to the dragon in the distance, "Then how do we solve it now?"

Before the words were finished, another figure rushed out from the bottom of the sea, breaking through the waves, and a huge knife light wrapped around the dragon, bursting into a large spray of blood.

"You read that right, that's my brother." Zhu Yinxiao patted him on the shoulder again, "He has been fighting this dragon for a long time, but it looks like he has to wait. Don't provoke anyone now. He, my brother went crazy and denied all relatives."

It was the first time for Anping to see Chai Shuxin get angry. Looking at the fighting figures in the distance, he felt that the world was full of murderous intent.

"This is the true nature of Rakshazi." Zhu Yinxiao sighed, "The fourth child was taken away by the Changshengzi. It's hard to say when my brother will calm down."

Chai Yanyan trembled a little, Wu Biyou couldn't stand the suppression of the evil spirit, and lay directly on the screen, gritted his teeth and said, "So what should we do now?"

"It's okay." Zhu Yinxiao poled and rowed, "My brother is here."

The four of them drifted on the sea for a long time, and were drenched by the big waves again and again. Except for Zhu Yinxiao, Anping and the other three couldn't stand upright at all. When they sat up, they were overwhelmed by the wind and waves, so they had to lie in a mess, like three wet salted fish.

Chai Shuxin and Yinlong were getting farther and farther away from them, only roaring and roaring could be faintly heard.

In the end, the sea finally became calm, Zhu Yinxiao threw Artemisia, clapped his hands, "Here we are."

Anping sat up, "What kind of place is this?"

"This is the edge of the realm of water and sky. If you want to leave, you have to start from here." Zhu Yinxiao squatted down, helped Chai Yanyan wring the corners of her skirt, and then took out three tail feathers to them, "Bake them all, Dry your clothes so you don't catch a cold."

Zhu Yu's radiance was radiant, exuding warmth, the heat was transferred to his hands, and soon traveled all over his body, warm as spring.

Wu Biyou shook his head, "How did you get out?"

"This is a backup method. I have to do it as a last resort. I have to send you all out quickly." Zhu Yinxiao said: "But only one person can leave at a time, and the next person will have to wait until 24 hours later."

Wu Biyou and Chai Yanyan pointed to Anping, "He is the best." "Let him go first."

Zhu Yinxiao looked at Anping and smiled: "That's you man, after all, if something happens again, you are the most difficult to protect yourself."

It's useless to be hypocritical at this time, Anping nodded.

"The flow of time in the realm of water and sky is different from that of the outside world. A day here is about a month outside. We are not here. There may be some changes in the Qi family." Zhu Yinxiao patted him, "Now you are also a member of the Qi family. Man, you have to hold on for these two months."

"I will open a gap later and send you out, just relax, the process may be a little painful."

Anping was ready and was about to say it, when he saw Zhu Yinxiao took a few steps back, threw his head upside down, and fell into the sea.

Anping: "???"

Ubi blurted out, "Fuck! What's he doing?"

Chai Yanyan ran over quickly, and was about to bend down to explore the water, but found that the surrounding temperature was rising rapidly, and the sea water turned warm red.

In the next second, crimson rose to the sky, the sound was clear, and Zhu Yu was huge.The red wings fluttered in the wind, and the sky was filled with fiery red clouds in an instant.

Suzaku is also the god of fire.Dissect the liquid to become a dragon, condense the breath to become a bird, all heaven and man in the ten directions will worship it.

Anping stared dumbfounded at the radiant Suzaku in front of him, with shining red feathers and a magnificent demeanor, it was really difficult to connect with the mixed-feathered chicken in his memory.

Wu Biyou and Chai Yanyan were obviously seeing Zhu Yinxiao's real body for the first time, and the three of them looked at each other dumbfounded.The big scarlet bird lowered its head, as if teasing them, it rubbed the skirts of the three of them with its feather crown.

Suzaku blinked at Anping, but before he could react, the other party flew up into the sky with his collar in his mouth, made a big circle among the clouds, and was thrown out immediately.

The wind whistled in his ears, as if flames were burning through the layers of clouds, the scorching heat scorched his skin, and Anping was scalding all over his body. He seemed to be shuttling through an invisible channel, and there was an invisible force behind him pushing him forward.

I don't know how long it took, the temperature was getting higher and higher, and he finally passed out.

He had that dream again.

The revolving lantern rotates slowly, and the cold fragrance floats in the air.

He ran through the long corridor and pushed open the door suddenly. Flowers and candles hung high, red tents, a pair of wine cups on a mahogany table, and a golden wedding scale beside it.

The groom turned his back to him, leaned over to hold the bride's hand, the candle wick exploded into fireworks, he seemed to be saying something, his voice was very soft, and the tassels on the red hijab trembled slightly.

This is the third time he has had this dream. From the horror at the beginning to the shock later, now Anping is only full of doubts.

Why does he dream of this place repeatedly?What is this place?Who is the married person?

After going through all kinds of things in the past few months, he is no longer the high school student who is afraid of ghosts. The mystery in his heart is getting bigger and bigger, and curiosity gradually overcomes fear.He stepped forward, wanting to pat the groom to see who he was.

However, what he touched was a phantom.

Anping tried several times and found that he could touch everything in the room, but he couldn't touch the groom himself.Just when he didn't know what to do next, he found that his hand passed through the groom's body and could touch the bride.

How is this going?

Anyway, he couldn't figure it out, he couldn't see the groom's face, so let's see who the bride is.Anping shook his heart, stretched out his hand, and yanked off the bride's hijab.

Then the whole person fell into an ice cellar.

Anping looked at the other person's face, and was stunned in shock, his mind roaring.

How can this be? ! ? !

The groom is—

Anping sat up abruptly.

"Are you okay?" Someone around him looked at him worriedly, "You kept screaming in your dream just now, what happened?"

Anping was covered in cold sweat, and it took him a while to slowly recover. He looked around and saw that this was Yeshui Zhuhua.

Standing next to him was a waiter, who was a Yin Yang family member, whom he had met before.

"Aren't you in a mirage?" The other party wondered, "Why are you in the elevator?"

Anping collected himself, "Did you find me in the elevator?"

"That's right, the young boss has been away for several days. I thought you followed them into a mirage, but when I opened the elevator tonight, I found you passed out inside. What happened?"

They were in a private room, and Anping was lying on the sofa. He took out two pieces of paper, wiped his sweat, and went through the current situation quickly: Zhu Yinxiao said that he would open a crack in the outside world, which could save people Send it out, although I don't know why I passed out in the elevator, but it seems that this method is feasible.

According to the time difference between the mirage and the human world, at least two months later, Chai Yanyan and Ubiyou will come out again.

Before leaving, Zhu Yinxiao told him that now that the masters are not here, there is a possibility that something will happen to the Qi family, let him hold on no matter what, and then contact the Yinyang family and Fengdu's ambiguous relationship. Once the news of Ubi's disappearance spreads, it will be unimaginable What will happen after the meeting.

Now that things are up, the best way is to suppress the news first, and it will be a while if it can be delayed.

Anping panicked, managed to smooth things over, and then hurriedly left Yeshui Zhuhua.

He is one of the few people who came out of the mirage, paper can't cover the fire, once the news of the accident of the masters spreads, troubles will soon follow.The most urgent task is to find a place to stay, a residence that can keep in touch with the seven families of the scholars at any time and can guarantee safety.

The territory of Yinyang's family is not safe, Zhu's family doesn't know where it is, Yao's family is probably in chaos, and Penglai doesn't even know how to get there.Now there is probably only one place where he can stay in peace.

He returned to the Temple of the City God.

Anping pushed open the door, and the backyard was silent.

In the kitchen there was Mu Gesheng's enamel jar, and Anping made a cup of brown sugar water by himself, and it was steaming.

He sat down on the porch, and there was still a mess on the steps, probably Muge gave birth to half of it and threw it here.

His mind was very confused, and he had to try his best to calm himself down, but he became more and more anxious, so he had to find something to divert his attention. Finally, Anping turned his gaze back to the chessboard, and suddenly found something.

The layout of the chess pieces is very strange, Anping looked at it for a long time, and suddenly realized something was wrong.

This is not an endgame, but the distribution of forces among the seven families.

God knows if Mu Gesheng expected something before entering the mirage, so he deliberately left a reminder in the courtyard.Anping carefully observed the chessboard, the pieces were clearly black and white, and his train of thought was slowly sorted out, gradually becoming clearer.

If the seven families are going to change, then the collapse of the mirage will be an introduction. If the city gate catches fire, the most unstable family will be the first to be affected, and the one that is most prone to accidents is undoubtedly——

"Master An, why are you here?" A voice broke Anping's thoughts.

Anping raised his head, and found that the person who came was the guard Scalper.He didn't know if the other party was trustworthy, and he didn't dare to say too much. He was thinking about how to speak, but the other party said first: "Did you bring your mobile phone?"

Anping was taken aback, his coat fell into the mirage, and now he was penniless, even his cell phone was lost.

"I knew it." Seeing his expression, the other party understood, "Did you not tell the family anything when you left? You have been in the mirage for more than ten days, and rumors are crazy outside. Your parents are looking for you everywhere." , and spent a lot of money to post a hot search, and now everyone knows that a rich second-generation young master has been lost..."

Anping's brain suddenly became dizzy, and his mind was finished. At first, he didn't know that there was a time difference between the mirage and the outside world. He thought he would come back after going there for a day. There was no signal in the mirage, and his parents must not be able to contact him. up!

His first reaction was to go home quickly, but as soon as he got up, the scalper said: "Young Master, since you have already entered the Temple of the City God, it is best not to leave."

Anping paused, "What do you mean?"

"Director Chai of the Yao Group escaped from the mirage a few days ago, and now the entire seven families know that the inheritance of Pan Geng's oracle bone has been broken, and the members of the Yao Group have fallen out with the Yao family."

Anping: "..."

This is good, it's useless that he was thinking about how to hide the news just now.

But Chai Boti escaped, Chai Yanyan was not there, no one in the Yao family was in charge of the overall situation, this was the worst situation.

"After all, Rakshazi is involved with the Yao family. People from the Yao family have been coming to the Town God's Temple every day for a few days, but they dare not come in. If you go out, it's hard to say what those people will do."

After what the scalper said, Anping didn't dare to act rashly anymore, so he had to stay in Chenghuang honestly.It is also inconvenient for him to contact his parents. After all, he has to go home as soon as he shows up, but the current situation really does not allow him to go away. In addition, An's family is also doing business with Yao's recently, which inevitably involves too much.

He is a variable, the best way is to stand still and respond to all changes with the same.

In the evening, Anping tried to cook, but as expected, he burned a pot. In the end, he had no choice but to ask the scalper to go out and buy instant noodles for him.Anping searched all over his body, and for the first time all his possessions were only five yuan.

"I don't think it's enough to buy buckets, so buy bags." Anping scratched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, "I use Banxian'er's enamel jar to soak and eat."

"It's okay, young master, make a list of what you want to eat. I'll bring it to you tomorrow, and I'll put it down tonight." The scalper rummaged through the box in the ancestral hall and found two big bags of food, including mustard, intestines, and marinated eggs. There are also old altar sauerkraut beef noodles, in barrels.

Anping looked at the bag with a familiar look, "This is...?"

"Young master, have you forgotten?" The scalper chuckled, "The first time you came to Chenghuang Temple, you were tricked by Tian Suanzi and bought two big bags of food."

Anping suddenly remembered that at that time Mugesheng asked him to buy a tribute, and it also came with two packs of Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets, saying that Chenghuang had indigestion.

"Actually, I don't eat these." The scalper said, "But there must be a reason for the fortune telling you to buy them."

Anping looked at the chessboard under the corridor, and then at the plastic bag in the scalper's hand, not knowing what to say.

Although Mugesheng was the one who involved him in the Seven Schools of Zhuzi, and often deceived him, but seeing everything that the other party had done calmly, he immediately settled down.

"I'm going to boil the water." The scalper said, "The people from Yao's Group hang out at the door every day. Since you are back, young master, even if you can't get out, there is no reason why you dare not meet people."

"You hold the fortune teller's cup, so whether he is present or not is the same."

A moment later, the gate of the Town God's Temple opened wide, and Anping sat on the threshold with the scalper and ate instant noodles with an enamel jar in one hand and mustard in the other.

"There's one on the corner, one on the street, and the second floors and roofs of these shops." The scalper pointed with a plastic fork, "They're all from the Yao Group."

Anping looked in the direction, they were squatting at the door eating instant noodles majesticly, causing a secret commotion, a car stopped at the intersection of the street after a while, a young man in a white Tang suit came over, looked at his eyebrows and eyes, and Chai Bodhi is somewhat similar.

"I can't sit still." The scalper ate his noodles sullenly, "That's Director Chai's cousin."

The young man walked to the gate of the temple, and smiled before saying anything, with a calm face that made people feel good, "I heard that the young master of the An family is back, so I came here on purpose, as expected."

The other party handed over his business card, "May I treat you to a light meal?"

"It turned out to be Young Master Chai. It's easy to say." Anping wiped his mouth and patted the big plastic bag beside him, "I still have more in it. The old altar stewed chicken with sauerkraut and shiitake mushrooms. What flavor do you want?"

The other party's smile froze, and he said: "There are too many people here, and the fireworks are too heavy. I have reserved a seat at the First Grade of Spring Burning. I wonder if Master An will appreciate it?"

"That might be inconvenient." Anping raised the enamel bowl in his hand, "I have to wash the dishes after eating, so I just left and left, I'm afraid I'll be beaten when I come back."

Enamel jars with red letters on a white background are common items on street stalls for a few yuan each, but when Anping lifted them up like this, the other party had to take two steps back.

"Master An really doesn't have time?" The other party expressed regret, "I also want to talk to you about the future cooperation between our two families."

Anping shook his head, "Then please find my mother, I don't care about the family business."

"Mrs. An has been looking for you like crazy recently, why don't you go back and have a look?"

"I said boy." The scalper said, "Do you really think I don't exist?"

"How dare you junior." The young man bowed to him, "Master City God."

"When Luo Shazi and Tian Suanzi were here, I was a doorman, and there was no one at home, so I was a city god." The scalper Xilihulu ate his noodles, "But now that the young master of the An family is back, the Yao Group's intelligence work is not doing well. Not bad, you should understand my current status."

"Yes." The young man said in a youthful voice, "Luo Shazi has the Luo Sha Family under his command, and the second in command is you, City God."

Anping ate the noodles, almost choked, and quickly poured the noodle soup.

"Now that you know, get out of here. Master An and I have dinner, don't delay us watching the sunset." The scalper waved his hand, "If the news of Master An's return spreads, I'm the only one to ask."

He said and glanced at the young man, "Your sister is a lunatic. The Yao Group has no shortage of lunatics, but only sensible people."

The young man was silent for a moment, and said to Anping: "Master An, although I do not represent my sister, I really hope to reach a cooperation with the An family. The following words are my own and have nothing to do with the seven families. "

Anping: "Please tell me."

"The family of the Yao family is in chaos. Miss Chai's family has encountered an accident. Many things cannot be decided. Although the family has a deep foundation, the elders can't even open the treasury without the head of the family." The young man said: "There is a problem with the capital chain of the family. Difficult, even if it is purely for business, Yaojia is not a good choice now."

"That's all for now." The young man bowed slightly, "I bid farewell."

After Anping finished eating the noodles, he sat on the threshold in a daze with the enamel jar in his arms.

The scalper patted him, "Don't think about it, young master, Miss Chai knows your situation, and even if the An family can't help, she won't blame you."

"I know, that's not what I'm thinking about." Anping thought for a moment, and said, "How much capital turnover does the Chai family need now?"

This stopped the scalper from asking, "Young master, do you really want to help?" He took out his mobile phone and sent a few WeChat messages, and after a while he said: "I asked Miss Chai's housekeeper for this number." There are too many numbers, It took him half a day to check it out.

Anping took the phone, and there was a nine-digit number on the screen.

He thought for a while, and said, "If you ask Butler Chai to last for two days, you will get the money in about a week."

This time it was the scalper who choked, "Isn't it, my young master? Who couldn't even bear to eat noodles in a bucket just now?"

"How should I put it?" Anping worked hard to organize his vocabulary, "It's not the same thing."

The scalper looked at him for a while, then sighed, "Sure enough, it's the fortune teller's vision, he didn't choose the wrong person."

"But then again, where are you going to find this money?"

"This one." Anping opened the memo pad and typed a line of numbers, "You send a text message to this phone."

"Whose phone number is this?"

"Damn it." Anping said, "Just say you kidnapped me, and the ransom is [-] million."
