When Shen Li suddenly saw this water pavilion courtyard, he thought he had returned to Xiangguo Mansion.The environment in the Sea of Consciousness is unpredictable, and it is very common to have projections in this world, but if you look carefully, this place is different from Xiangguo Mansion.
The architectural style of this courtyard is not owned by Changlu Kingdom, but it is closer to Tianyu, but it is not completely similar.
The two searched for a while in the water pavilion, and Shen Xin became more and more confused.
He looked at the surrounding environment, tilted his head and asked, "Where is this place..."
"Past life." Qi Changzhao replied lightly, lifting his chin slightly, signaling Shen Li to look forward.
A woman in light yellow clothes was leaning beside the waterside pavilion, holding handfuls of bait in her hand, feeding the fish one by one.A group of bright red carps were flopping on the water surface, but she didn't take a look at them. She stared at the blue sky in the distance and sighed leisurely.
It was He Ning.
The two looked at each other and walked forward.
"He Ning." Shen Li walked in front of her and called out in a warm voice, "What are you doing here, come back with us."
He Ning's reaction was quite slow, and he turned around after a while and asked, "Who are you?"
Qi Changzhao said calmly: "This place is an illusion in your sea of consciousness, you can't stay here for long, we will pick you up."
"What are you talking about..." He Ning tilted his head in doubt, "Pick me up? But I can't go out, I'm still waiting for someone."
Shen Li asked: "Who are you waiting for?"
He Ning looked blank for a moment, lowered his head, and whispered softly: "Who am I waiting for? Yes, who am I waiting for..."
At this moment, a voice sounded behind Shen Li and Qi Changzhao: "Ning'er, what are you doing?"
The two looked back at the same time, and a tall man was walking towards them.
The expression on He Ning's face suddenly came alive, she passed the two of them and walked forward, and threw herself into the arms of the visitor: "You are here, I was waiting for you just now, right?"
The man's movements froze, but he quickly covered it up and stroked her hair: "Of course you are waiting for me."
Subconsciously, Shen Li turned his head and looked at Qi Changzhao. Qi Changzhao shook his head slightly at him, signaling not to act rashly.
In the distance, the man didn't know what to say to He Ning, He Ning nodded, and walked through the corridor into the bedroom on the other side of the waterside pavilion.
Only then did the man raise his eyes to look at Shen Li and Qi Changzhao.
Shen Li asked bluntly: "Who are you?"
The man said: "You broke into my house and asked me who I am? I want to ask, who are you?"
"You sneaked into He Ning's sea of consciousness and trapped her soul here." Shen Li said unhurriedly, "What is your purpose?"
The man was silent for a moment, and a smile slowly opened on the corner of his mouth: "Whoever said that I trapped her here, she clearly stayed here voluntarily. If you two are sensible, leave here as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
As soon as the man finished speaking, there was a buzzing sound as the blade pierced through the void, and a lingering sword shadow suddenly pierced from behind him, and there was no way to avoid it at such a distance.But just when the sword edge was about to pierce the man's vest, the man's figure suddenly turned into a puff of blue smoke and disappeared.
The sword's edge suddenly changed direction and was held firmly by Qi Changzhao.
"You two, don't waste your energy in vain." The man's voice sounded again, echoing in the empty water pavilion courtyard, it seemed particularly strange, "You also know that this is an illusion in the sea of consciousness, and I am the master of this illusion, how could you Can handle me."
"If you want to leave now, there is still time, but if you want to stay, I will not stop you. I will not accompany you."
After saying this, the man's voice disappeared into the void.
Qi Changzhao took the sword away and said calmly: "It is true as he said, this place is an illusion created by him, we cannot deal with him here. What's more, in the sea of consciousness, our cultivation base is less than one ten-thousandth of the original. The odds are against us."
Shen Li thought for a moment, then asked: "You just said that this is He Ning's previous life?"
"I'm not sure." Qi Changzhao said, "But judging from their clothes and the buildings here, it seems that this place is... from the former dynasty."
"If that's the case..." Shen Li looked up at the closed door not far away, and said in a low voice, "It's impossible for the illusion to be flawless, and the flaw in this illusion must be her."
"...He Ning." Qi Changzhao said calmly, "We have to find a way to wake her up."
"But since the man didn't drive us out, it seems that he is sure that we can't interfere with him for the time being." Shen Li went to the place where He Ning was feeding the fish and sat down, grabbing a handful of bait.
The fish in the water were scrambling for food, Shen Li looked at it with interest, and said lazily, "Wait, I really want to know what he wants to do."
Qi Changzhao didn't answer.
He looked thoughtfully at the bedroom with the closed door, and through the half-covered window, he could vaguely see a man and a woman standing side by side.He Ning sat down at the table by the window, writing something with a pen in his hand. The man stood beside her, looking down at her with gentle and affectionate eyes.
——It is the hope and nostalgia that is lost and found again.
"Maybe I know what he wants to do." Qi Changzhao said suddenly, his voice was a little strangely deep.
Shen Li looked back at him: "What did you say?"
Qi Changzhao lowered his eyes and did not answer.
He suddenly leaned forward, passed Shen Li with his arm, grabbed the bait in his hand, and threw it far away.The koi flopped away, and the bait was eaten up in an instant, and the fish swarmed away and disappeared in place.
"Everyone is moving forward, but there are always people stuck in the past, unable to let go, and unable to get out." Qi Changzhao stared at the calm water surface, a thin red carp resurfaced, wobbled back to the two In front of them, the fins opened and closed, looking at them eagerly.
"...That's his flaw."
Shen Li didn't understand what he was saying, and wanted to ask again, when footsteps suddenly came from a distance.
A man dressed like a guard came quickly, but the distance was far away, so he couldn't see the man's appearance clearly.Shen Li frowned, feeling vaguely familiar with that person's figure.But before he could see clearly, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.
With the world spinning, Shen Li felt himself falling into a familiar embrace.Those arms hugged him firmly, and after an unknown amount of time, the shaking finally stopped.
But Qi Changzhao didn't seem to notice it, and still hugged him tightly.
Shen Li blinked, and said angrily: "Let go, it's not enough to take advantage of me, right?"
"...Not enough." Qi Changzhao's arms tightened tightly, "For you...it will never be enough."
It's really strange.
Shen Li's attitude towards Qi Changzhao has obviously been relaxed for a long time, but this person seems to be more insecure than before, as if he is worried that Shen Li will leave him at any time.
Shen Li couldn't figure out why, but he just couldn't get angry.
He sighed, patted the other party's arm, and said in a low voice: "Okay, I don't want to see what time it is. I have more time to hug you when I go back. Let me go."
Qi Changzhao was startled: "What did you just say?"
Shen Li paused, and broke free from his arms mercilessly: "I said something, but I didn't say anything."
"You just said back..."
"No." Shen Li interrupted him bluntly, "You heard me wrong, I didn't say anything."
The corner of Qi Changzhao's mouth raised an arc, and he hummed lightly with unknown meaning, and didn't speak any more.
Shen Li was uncomfortable seeing him, and quickly said: "Where is this, another illusion?"
The two of them are no longer in the water pavilion courtyard.
In the silent mountain forest, the chirping of insects and birds is endless.Shen Li looked around, and the more he looked, the more familiar this place became.
"Isn't this... Lingwu Mountain?"
"It is indeed Lingwu Mountain." Qi Changzhao said, "To be precise, it should be Lingwu Mountain decades ago, or even a hundred years ago."
Shen Li immediately reacted: "The mountain temple?"
Qi Changzhao nodded: "Go and have a look."
Decades of changes are not enough to make a mountain forest completely unrecognizable. Although the Lingwu Mountain in the illusion is not exactly the same as the one in their real world, it is roughly the same.The two walked up the mountain with ease, and walked in the direction where they had encountered the ruined temple.
The place where the ruined temple is located in this world is indeed a mountain temple.
The smell of incense can be heard from a distance in the temple, and there are several guards in front of the temple gate, who are fighting with a man.
It was the guard they saw in the courtyard just now.
When Shen Li glanced over, the guard happened to turn around, revealing a familiar face.
That face looked exactly like Shen Mo's.
Shen Li was startled at first, but quickly understood the connection, and shook his head with a smile: "I never thought that my elder brother would have such a relationship with the princess. Could this be the legendary... evil fate?"
Qi Changzhao didn't answer, but asked in a low voice, "Want to help?"
"No need," Shen Li looked at the fight in the distance with interest, and said with great interest, "His skill is much better than now, there is no reason why he can't fight."
The sound of fighting came through the forest, and Shen Mo's movements in his previous life were crisp and neat, as if he had been well-trained.Even if he was still injured, he still won't be at a disadvantage with one enemy.
Sure enough, he quickly defeated all the guards in front of the temple gate, and stepped straight into the temple gate without looking at the corpses all over the ground.
Shen Li was about to keep up when he suddenly felt his head spinning.
He paused, and subconsciously supported the tree trunk beside him, his eyes turned black.
For a while, Shen Li's mind was buzzing. He felt someone talking beside him, but he couldn't hear anything clearly.It wasn't until the initial dizziness passed and his eyes became clear again that he realized that he had sat down against the tree trunk.
Qi Changzhao silently clenched his hand, pure spiritual power was slowly pouring into his body.
Shen Li panted lightly and struggled a bit, but couldn't do so because of lack of strength.
"...What's going on with you?"
Qi Changzhao's voice rang in his ears, Shen Li raised his head, but met the other's gloomy gaze.This person hadn't looked at him with such eyes for a long time, Shen Li flinched, and asked guiltily: "What's wrong?"
Qi Changzhao's face was extremely gloomy: "What do you still ask me?"
"...I'm fine." Shen Li couldn't help him, and admitted weakly, "It may be that the soul has been away from the body for too long, and the spiritual power is not enough."
Qi Changzhao asked with a sullen face, "Why is your spiritual power not enough?"
"..."
Shen Li seemed to hesitate for a moment, and lied without changing his face: "My cultivation base is low, I am definitely not as good as you, Your Majesty. Besides, let's stop talking here for a few hours, it is not normal for me to have insufficient spiritual power Do you think everyone is you?"
When Qi Changzhao heard his words, his heart was filled with unexplained anger.
It's okay for him to deceive others with his words, but he can't deceive Qi Changzhao at all.Shen Li possessed the previous life's cultivation, protected by the two ways of righteousness and evil, and had already ascended to Mahayana.Not to mention the fact that his spirit had been separated from his body for a few hours, even for a longer period of time, he shouldn't have become so weak due to lack of spiritual power.
Qi Changzhao pressed him between the tree trunk and his body, staring at him with dark eyes: "Aren't you telling me the truth?"
Shen Li looked at him innocently: "I'm telling the truth, what else do you want to hear?"
Qi Changzhao's face was frosty, and he said coldly, "I want to hear why your spiritual core is damaged... What did you do to yourself?"
The architectural style of this courtyard is not owned by Changlu Kingdom, but it is closer to Tianyu, but it is not completely similar.
The two searched for a while in the water pavilion, and Shen Xin became more and more confused.
