See you in the world

Chapter 409
In the illusion, Yun Jing took the lead and walked in front, and said: "Master, Brother Huang, it is still a long way to the center of the illusion. We are a large number of people. It is not convenient to move quickly in the illusion. It will take a lot of time. Everything we see now It’s all falsehood, even if you tell your heart that everything you smell, feel, and hear is true, but the facts are all false, don’t worry about it, just follow my steps, it’s best to step on my footsteps , don’t hesitate even if there is a cliff in front of you, otherwise you will easily get lost in the illusion.”

Illusions can deceive people's senses and distort the six senses, Yunjing had to remind them repeatedly.

Yun Jing was able to see through illusions from the perspective of thought power. If not, he would never have set foot in this illusion unless he had to. His curiosity was not that heavy.

In the illusion, everything is real with only the six senses and senses. Once you step into it rashly, once you get lost in it, unless you are lucky, you will not know how you died in it.

"Jing'er can just lead the way, we have a sense of proportion," Li Qiu said calmly.

A group of people, including Li Qiu, could be sent by Emperor Dali to welcome General Yang and the others. Who is not a person with a mind as firm as a rock? The pace is.

Although they are calm on the surface, they are still shocked by everything in the illusion. Everything is 'real'. They can see, touch, smell and hear, but those are all fake. If Yunjing didn't bring them, No one present can guarantee that they can get out of this illusion.

However, even with Yunjing leading the way and explaining the magic of the illusion to them, the group of people began to experience various situations frequently after stepping into the illusion.

Some places seem to be going uphill, but when walking, there is a sense of weightlessness in the senses. Some people are unstable and almost fall down. Fortunately, the people here are all agile people, and they adjusted quickly.

In some places there was a stone wall, and Yunjing crashed into it directly, but the people behind followed suit, but they felt that their heads were smashed in the senses, Yunjing had to stop and tell them that it was all senses on the illusion.

In some places there is obviously nothing, but Yunjing told them that there is a huge boulder and they have to make a detour.

In some places, there is clearly a deep ditch on the ground, but Yunjing told them that it was flat ground, and they walked directly over it. In people's eyes, Yunjing walked in the void as if walking on flat ground, but when it was their turn, their senses told themselves to fall down. In the ditch...

In short, various situations continued, the speed could not be increased, and sometimes there would be unexpected sensory situations and they would loosen the rope and get lost. Yunjing had to let them stay where they were and find someone to come back and start again.

In the illusion, one step away is likely to be in a strange place in the senses.

Yunjing had anticipated these situations, and was not surprised. It was just a little troublesome. Fortunately, the problem was not serious. It was a bit slow, and he was still moving towards the center of the illusion.

Fortunately, the entire group has strong adaptability. Apart from sensory illusions, over time, they gradually became familiar with the magic of the illusion, and accidents gradually decreased.

"In this illusion, if you feel that you are dead, you will really die." Xia Tao looked at his hand thoughtfully.

There was a 'bloody' wound on his hand, which was 'scratched by a piece of sharp sword grass', and the wound could not heal and bleed profusely.

The wound was naturally Xia Tao's illusion, but his senses told him that his injury was real, the bleeding was real, the pain was real, and even the loss of life force was real...

However, Yun Jing told him that those were all fake and illusions, and the real him was not hurt at all.

Xia Tao chose to believe in Yunjing and didn't care about the wound on his hand. Although everything was so real, Xia Tao had an innate mid-stage cultivation. Although the sword grass was sharp, how could it easily cut his skin?

That's why he said the phrase 'death in the illusion is also a real death'.

Although everything is an illusion, if 'consciousness is dead', how can people not die?

Li Qiu thought more. While closely following Yunjing's steps, he looked at the illusion and said, "This illusion is extremely dangerous. Just distorting the six senses can kill people invisible, let alone the illusion itself. There are countless dangers hidden, but what I want to say is that although this illusion is dangerous, it is also an excellent place to sharpen, it depends on how to face the illusion.”

After a pause, Li Qiu continued: "In this illusion, the six senses are distorted. Staying here for a long time can well sharpen a person's senses and will. Of course, more people will be tortured crazy by the illusion. People with weak minds should not easily use this illusion to polish themselves."

"Of course, if you can break through yourself in this illusion, you will be able to greatly improve your knowledge and martial arts!"

Yun Jing had to lament once again that Jiang is still old and spicy. Of course, there is also the reason why Li Qiu is not a mediocre person. Most people who set foot in a fantasy world may think about how to protect themselves and how to get out, but Li Qiu thinks about how to take advantage of this situation. Fantasy to improve yourself.

Before that, Yun Jing didn't think so much, so he said: "Master is worthy of being the head of the four great talents in the past, and his vision and insight are unmatched by ordinary people. So many of us didn't expect to use this illusion, but Master did think of it." "

"When did Jing'er learn to flatter? My teacher never taught you these things. The so-called head of the four great talents, hehe, was just a young and ignorant person who liked to show off. At that time, I thought it was very beautiful, but now I think about it. It's a bit funny. For many years, I have become old as a teacher, and I no longer have the high spirits of the past. As for using this illusion, I am just talking about it as a teacher. You can’t guarantee how long you can live here with me,” Li Qiu shook his head and smiled.

"What Tuer said is the truth," Yun Jing said.

Young people love the scenery, the limelight, and comparisons. Take the so-called ranking of the four great talents as an example.

Then Yun Jing felt that his master was definitely being modest. Since he dared to use the illusion to sharpen himself, he might not live long in the illusion alone as he said, and he might really be able to sharpen himself here.

At this time, Xia Tao asked Li Qiudao: "General Li, now that I am fighting against the Three Kingdoms in the North, can I use this illusion? If we can lead the enemy into this illusion..."

He actually thought of using the illusion to destroy the enemy!
In fact, it’s not impossible to think about it. Once the enemy enters the illusion, people from Dali don’t even need to do it. I’m afraid they will be killed by the illusion. What about the army?

"Your Highness said that using the illusion to destroy the enemy army is a good idea, but it doesn't work," Li Qiu said, shaking his head.

Xia Tao didn't think highly of himself, but humbly asked for advice: "General Li, can you tell me the reason?"

"There are two reasons. First, this illusion is in our Dali territory. It is impossible to lure the enemy troops into the territory. After all, once the enemy troops enter, how can we control their movements? Moreover, it is almost impossible to lure the enemy troops to the illusion to destroy them. Ten or hundreds of them, it doesn’t make much sense if they don’t kill them. If more than 100,000 enemy troops are lured into the country, who will bear the consequences once they get out of control? No matter how sophisticated the lure strategy is, the consequences of making a mistake I can't bear it. Second, how many of my soldiers are guarding the border, and how many people have buried their bones in other countries without losing an inch of land. If a large number of enemy troops are brought in, how will those soldiers who guard the border without losing an inch of land feel? Especially the soldiers who have died for countless years Heroes, if they 'see' the entry of enemy troops, who will comfort them?" Li Qiu said seriously.

Hearing what he said, Xia Tao said with shame: "Sure enough, General Li has seen it through, and this junior is making a joke."

"Your Highness, don't say that. In fact, your idea is good, but you can't do it like that..."

Yunjing and the others entered the illusion in the morning. Affected by the illusion, their speed could not be increased, and the distance from the edge of the illusion to the center was nearly [-] miles. Under various accidents, there was no danger, and they were almost dark until the afternoon Only then did he arrive at the center of the illusion under the leadership of Yunjing.

"Master, brother Huang, more than ten meters ahead is the center of the illusion. General Yang and the others have been there for more than 40 years." Yun Jing stopped and pointed forward.

Nodding, Li Qiu looked at Xia Tao and said, "Your Highness, let's get ready."

"En", Xia Tao responded, his eyes beckoning to his subordinates who followed.

Then, the people brought by Xia Tao surrounded him and untied the packages they brought with them. When the crowd dispersed, Xia Tao had already changed into the golden python robe representing the identity of the prince.

Putting on the python robe that represents the identity of the prince, Xia Tao is no longer a gentle and refined prince, but the second prince of Dali who is extravagant and majestic!

Other than him, the others also changed their outfits, putting up the guard of honor representing the second prince, even Li Qiu and the others changed into military uniforms.

Wearing a majestic bright silver armor, Li Qiu pressed the hilt of his waist with his left hand. Seeing that everyone was getting ready, he stretched out his red cloak, with a stern face, pointed to the front and said, "Jing'er leads the way."

"General, Your Highness, please follow me," Yun Jing bowed and saluted, then turned and continued to lead the way.

At this time, Li Qiu's identity was the general of Dali holding the army, and Xia Tao was the second prince of Dali, so the etiquette naturally had to be regularized, and he couldn't be as casual as before.

Not far ahead, a group of people suddenly realized that they were standing outside the center of the illusion.

"Here we are," Yun Jing said, looking at the rural scene in front of him.

The second prince Xia Tao looked at the place and said: "If it weren't for Mr. Yun's reminder, we would definitely think that we are still in the illusion, and this place is enough to be called a paradise."

Because of the different identities of the representatives, Xia Tao called Yun Jing differently.

"Be alert!" Li Qiu said in a deep voice as he looked ahead and felt a sharp aura.

He could clearly feel the fierce aura emanating from the people here, and he didn't dare to be careless. He was responsible for Xia Tao's safety.

With one order, the next moment, Li Qiu and Xia Tao's guards protected them in the center.

At the same time, the arrival of Yunjing and the others was immediately discovered by the people living here.

It’s not that no one has been here before, but they haven’t been here so many at one time. It alarmed everyone here almost immediately. People are gathering in this direction. Unlike the last time Yunjing came, there was only one people come into contact with him.

"It's him, Yun Jing, who left without obeying the rules"

"He actually went and came back, and brought people here"

"Doesn't it mean that he can freely travel between the inside and outside of the illusion!"

"How dare he come back?"

The gathered people recognized the cloud scene in the crowd at a glance, and there was a lot of discussion, and at the same time, their eyes were fiery, as if they saw the hope of 'seeing the sun again'.

However, there are also some people with uncertain expressions, and some people look like they are waiting to watch the show with great interest.

That day Yunjing violated the rules and left here, causing quite a commotion, until now Yang Kaishan and others have not stopped 'chasing and killing' him, they were ordered to protect things, Yunjing's departure made a mistake, how can they let it go?

However, after Yunjing left that day, he left the illusion directly, so they couldn't find anyone.

Those who are interested in watching the show are waiting for Yang Kaishan and how they will deal with Yunjing who has gone and returned. Will they kill him or continue to trap him here?If you don't kill, doesn't it mean that other people can also try to leave the illusion like Yunjing?

However, those who were going to watch the theater had their wishes come to nothing after all, because with the arrival of Li Qiuxiatao and the others, the rule of not being allowed to leave has no meaning.

Facing the gathered crowd, Li Qiu's eyes were complicated. He could see that many people still kept the military style in their actions, but they were all old.

They are soldiers from the Great Liberation Army, who have stuck to an order for more than 40 years, from youth to middle age, until now they are gray-haired.

They have dedicated their lives without complaint or regret.

Taking a deep breath, Li Qiulang said: "Where is the border army in Dali Town? Where is General Yang Kaishan? Junior Li Qiu has come with His Majesty's order. Please come forward to explain it."

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd gathered over there stopped, and the picture seemed to freeze, no one spoke, and there was a complete silence.

Yang Kaishan was in the crowd, surrounded by the military robes that had been with him for decades.

At this moment they paused, looked towards Li Qiu and the others, their expressions were stunned, their hearts were sour, their eyes were red and they were about to cry, their lips were trembling and they couldn't say a word.

More than 40 years of waiting, this day has finally arrived.

Gradually, including Yang Kaishan, the group of gray-haired old men who had stood by the border army for decades straightened their backs.

After a while, Yang Kaishan said loudly: "The town border army Yang Kaishan is here!"

After his words fell, a group of gray-haired old people around said in unison: "The soldiers of the town border army are here!"

They yelled this sentence almost with all their strength, and they yelled so blue that they seemed to want to yell out all the persistence and grievances of these years.

Those who did not belong to the town's border army put away their smiles, and their expressions became stunned. Some young people and children born in the local area were still laughing and joking at the beginning, but now they all became quiet, puzzled and dazed. ,Fear……

The local residents, apart from Yang Kaishan themselves, do not know the identities of Yang Kaishan and others.

Town frontier army?What town frontier army?

Li Qiu thought of the experiences of these town border troops over the years, and his heart was also sour, but now is not the time to express these emotions, he took a deep breath and went straight to the topic: "Soldiers, you have worked hard these years", paused , he continued: "Everyone, prepare to receive the order."

"Here!" Yang Kaishan stood up and slapped his right fist heavily on his heart, this action is the military etiquette of the Dali Dynasty.

"Here~!" The other gray-haired town border army veterans made the same movements and shouted in unison.

The sound shook the sky, at this moment, there is only this one sound in the whole world.

Then Yang Kaishan opened his mouth and said: "Everyone has come from afar, please wait here for a while, when we are ready to welcome His Majesty's will."

"Please," Li Qiu nodded.

Then Yang Kaishan pointed out a prudent young man to come to receive Li Qiu and the others. As for the veterans of the border army including Yang Kaishan, they quickly went home to tidy up and prepare to receive the order.

Yun Jing watched silently in the crowd, he was just a guide, but he was not idle, but observed everyone secretly.

When Li Qiu came here, Li Qiu said that perhaps among the people here is the Dajiang Dynasty who came to secretly look for the thing that Yang Kaishan and the others were protecting. Just in case, Yunjing needs to observe it.

However, upon careful observation, Yunjing did not notice anyone with a problem. After all, even if there were people from the Dajiang Dynasty who had been hidden for many years, how could they be exposed so easily.

"Could there be people from the Dajiang Dynasty hidden in the frontier army back then? It's not impossible for this to happen. After all, they were just soldiers back then. It's not impossible for people from Dajiang to mix in and hide in the chaos. In addition, the younger generation born locally can be excluded, but those outsiders need to pay attention..."

Yun Jing said silently in his heart, if he is not afraid of [-], he is afraid of the eventuality, there is always nothing wrong with being careful.

Although it is inappropriate to doubt the veterans of the border army who have paid for decades, the thing they have guarded for decades is more important. Decades have passed. What's the point of ten years?Faith collapsed, and it might be ashamed to live in the world anymore.

After guarding for decades, an accident happened at the last moment. No matter how strong the mind is, I'm afraid that kind of blow can't bear it...

Not long after, Yunjing and the others were invited to a spacious grain drying field in the middle of a 'village'. Surrounded by curious and excited people with complex mentalities, they silently waited for the arrival of Yang Kaishan and others.

Here, except for the young children, regarding the arrival of Yunjing and others, they realize that they may have a chance to 'see the sun again'!

How can you not be excited?
How can you not be uneasy?
Decades later, what does it look like outside?Can I really go and see the outside world?
Especially those who were born locally are full of confusion. If they can go out, they don't know how to face the next life...

As night fell, bonfires were lit around the grain drying field, illuminating the place brightly.

Under the light of the fire, Yang Kaishan came with the gray-haired veterans at a neat pace, with their heads held high and their chests held high, and they were neatly dressed.

More than 40 years, they still keep the original equipment in the army, and they are well maintained, and now they wear it again, and this town border army is back.

After more than 40 years, they are still soldiers of the Dali Dynasty, still loyal to the country, and still concerned about their own mission and identity.

The sun-drying field was quiet except for the crackling of the bonfire. Yang Kaishan and the others came to Li Qiu and the others, looking straight ahead with their heads held high.

Facing them, Li Qiu first motioned to the guards beside him to carry a tray, and said in a loud voice: "General Yang, this junior is now the commander of the third-rank Thunder Fire Corps." Tray continued: "There is the appointment document of the younger generation, and the tiger amulet printed in the army, please take a look at it, General Yang."

This is to confirm the identity, and it is a necessary process. After all, after more than 40 years, it is impossible for a few people to come to Yang Kaishan and they will believe it at will and accept the next imperial decree. Big deal.

Yang Kaishan nodded, he would not be careless at this time, he strode forward to carefully check the items in the tray.

This is a world with extraordinary power. Sealed documents naturally have unique features to prevent counterfeiting, especially the greater the official position, the more extraordinary the uniqueness of the sealed document. When it reaches a certain level, the seals on the documents have special features. place.

Carefully identifying Li Qiu's seal letter, Yang Kaishan carefully identified it with his own cultivation of True Artistic Conception, and it took a while to confirm that it was correct.

After all, after many years, the outside world is also changing, and the anti-counterfeiting aspects of the dynasty's seal documents have also changed, but some cores still remain.

"Confirmation is correct, Yang Kaishan, the fifth-rank general of the border army, will see General Li." Yang Kaishan immediately made a fist with his right hand and put it on his heart to salute.

"See General Li", the other veterans also saluted neatly.

There are differences in the army, it's normal for subordinates to salute their superiors, rules are rules, it has nothing to do with age, and it has nothing to do with Yang Kaishan and his special features.

Li Qiu didn't hold back, and raised his hands through the void, saying: "General Yang is exempt from the ceremony, and all the officers and men are exempt from the ceremony."

Yang Kaishan and the others put down their hands, and then, like Li Qiu before, Yang Kaishan asked someone to bring his document seal to Li Qiu to confirm his identity.

After all, after many years, these are the procedures that should exist.

After confirming that it was correct, under the expectant gaze of Yang Kaishan and the others, Li Qiulang said in a serious voice: "The soldiers of the border town accept the order!"

"The last general is here," Yang Kaishan and the others said in unison, all knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads to wait for Tianyan.

Li Qiu respectfully took out a scroll of golden dragon pattern imperial decree from the hand of the guard beside him with both hands, spread it out and quickly glanced at it, and said in a serious tone: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said:"

"I heard that there is an army at the border of the town. It has been many years since I left the shepherd's border. 40 years ago, I was ordered to face danger. I have devoted myself to my duty for many years. I have spent decades of time in the world, and I have never forgotten my mission..."

Sprinkling hundreds of words, he roughly explained the devotion and loyalty of these border troops for decades. The emperor was very pleased and guilty, and fully affirmed their dedication and dedication over the years, and his words were sincere.

However, it didn't mention the thing they had guarded over the years, and it was inconvenient to talk about that thing in front of other people.

At the end is the key, Li Qiudao: "You will be loyal to the country, and the sun and the moon can learn from your loyalty and righteousness... I specially bestow on the loyal and righteous men of the officers and men, promote them to three ranks, and give the officers and men their original homes of loyalty and righteousness. The local government built the Loyalty Memorial Archway, engraved its name, and spread its fragrance. The local government recorded the descendants of the officers and men by blood relatives, introduced them into the academic examinations, and gave the officers and men fields and houses to farm cattle. Designation number, the Ministry of War will reissue the military salary owed for many years, three times the compensation, and give all the officers and soldiers a steel-making knife, a set of refined iron fish scale armor, engraved with the word "loyalty and righteousness..., respect!"

After finishing speaking in one breath, Li Qiu closed the imperial decree and stepped forward, "All officers and men, accept the decree."

On behalf of all the soldiers, Yang Kaishan received the imperial decree with both hands and said loudly: "The last general accepts the decree, and thank my emperor for his kindness."

"The last general will accept the order and thank my emperor Long En"

The imperial decree was handed over to the other party, and Li Qiu said on behalf of the emperor: "All the generals and soldiers will live in peace."

In this way, the process of receiving the decree is considered to be over, and then Li Qiu said in a calm tone: "General Yang, all the items rewarded in the imperial decree have been quickly sent from the capital to Xieyang City, and you can pick them up soon after you return to Xieyang City. In addition, you need to provide a list of information. Although the dead soldiers cannot receive their belongings, they will be sent to their families together with the pension. Your majesty knows that you will not chill everyone's hearts. In addition In the hometowns of all the soldiers, there is also an imperial edict ordering the local government to supervise the handling of various rewards."

"Your Majesty has a heart, and he has never forgotten us. All these years of dedication are worth it," Yang Kaishan said with his eyes flushed.

The rewards in the imperial decree are not insignificant, especially the fact that blood relatives can enter the academic examination is enough to comfort them for their hard work over the years. Studying for the imperial examination is something that countless ordinary people dare not even think about.

After exchanging pleasantries, before it was over, Li Qiu stepped back, took out another imperial decree and said: "The frontier army of Zhongyi Town accepts the decree"

"The end is here", Yang Kaishan and the others knelt down on one knee respectfully and waited for Tianyan again.

Li Qiu read out: "Following the heavens, the emperor, the imperial edict said: The frontier army of Zhongyi Township has been loyal to the country for decades, but now it has suffered a lot of damage, and the entire army is ordered to be full-staffed. General Yang is in charge of all matters, and the Ministry of War needs to cooperate actively. All the officers and men are old and after the reorganization of the army, if they need to be disarmed and return to the fields, all parties must not be negligent, this is my honor."

"The last general accepts the decree, thank my emperor Long En", Yang Kaishan and others said in unison.

After he received the imperial decree, Li Qiu said: "General Yang, although the imperial decree did not mention it, what your majesty means is that after the reorganization of the army, if you continue to be loyal to the country, you will still be in charge of this border army. One should arrange the dispatch and report directly to the Ministry of War, they will cooperate, but you are old after all... In short, it depends on your own ideas."

"General Li, although we are old, our skills are still sharp, and we can fight for the country for another ten years!" Yang Kaishan paused every word.

Nodding his head, Li Qiu said: "It still depends on your own opinions. After decades, it is normal for some people to want to go home. Your Majesty understands."

As he said that, Li Qiu looked at Xia Tao with a smile and said, "General Yang, the imperial decree has been read out. It's getting late today, and we're leaving early tomorrow morning. This is His Royal Highness the Second Prince. His Majesty specially sent him to welcome you all."

Xia Tao hurried forward and said: "I have seen General Yang, all soldiers, you have worked hard these years, I will take you home"

He has not been crowned king yet, nor is he a prince. Using my title at this time, he cannot be called a widow, nor can he call himself the king.

"See Your Highness the Second Prince, Your Majesty has a heart," Yang Kaishan and others saluted with red eyes.

Although I had guessed it when I saw the second prince, but I really heard that the current emperor sent a prince to greet them for them. All these years of sacrifice are worth it.

"General Yang is exempt from courtesy, all officers and men are exempt from courtesy," Xia Tao supported Yang Kaishan and said.

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Qiu said, "Okay, General Yang, please inform the others so that everyone is ready to leave this place early tomorrow morning. Of course, if someone doesn't want to leave, they can't force it, it's all up to their own wishes."

After all, I have lived here for decades, it is normal for some people not to want to leave, and there is no need to force it.

Yang Kaishan nodded, and gave instructions to the people around him, and he didn't need to go to notify them one by one, and then said: "General Li, Your Highness the Second Prince, it's getting late, you come with me, the conditions are limited, if the hospitality is not good, please ask more Forgive me"

"That's exactly what I mean. Please, General Yang, we are juniors, so you don't have to be so polite," Li Qiu said with a smile.

The next thing is the highlight, the thing that Yang Kaishan and the others have guarded for decades must be handed over, but there is no need for this matter to be carried out under the watchful eyes of the public.
