Chapter 66 New Illusion

"Mrs. Mistress?"

This was the most absurd thing Qingshuang had ever heard, if it wasn't for Hongxiu's calm look, she would have suspected that the other party had made a mistake in his practice, and became dazed.

Qingshuang asked directly: "Sister Hong, are you kidding me?"

With a half-smile on Hong Xiu's face, he replied:

"Of course not, I'm serious."

Qingshuang's eyes were complicated, and she couldn't understand: "But you don't even know the real appearance, real name, and age of the leader, so you want to be his wife?"

"The real age of the leader should not be very old. That kind of spirit cannot be concealed. I don't care about his appearance or real name..."

"I don't care about these things, so what do you care about?"

Hongxiu looked at Qingshuang and said seriously:
"What I care about is his identity, the identity of the foundation-building monk and the leader of the Stone Cult..."

Qingshuang's intuition told her that Hongxiu was not joking.

This thing is too absurd, too incredible.

"Ridiculous! Sister Hong, how could you want to marry a stranger for such a reason?"

Hongxiu replied nonchalantly:

"Isn't that enough?"

"How is it possible!"

Qingshuang was really angry, and said sadly:

"Sister Hong, how can you belittle yourself so much, this is not the you I know."

Feeling Qingshuang's concern, Hongxiu put away her carelessness and said solemnly:

"Hao Jiantong said: In this world, the strong are justified, and the weak are unreasonable."

Looking at the peony thrown on the ground, Hongxiu thought of herself, with a lonely expression, and confided:
"I deeply believe what he said."

"Several generations of my family have been hard-working people, living at the bottom of this world. I was born under the mine of the quarry. I have seen countless unbearable things since I was a child. The most tragic one is the big one in Wanshi City. In the catastrophe, more than [-] people were reduced to bones, and even their family members...

I was born as a mortal bone, even though I have a bit of force now, in the eyes of the monks, I am still just a stronger ants, which can be crushed to death at will.

This is the reality, any anxiety, tension, anger, depression, sadness, pain... will not help, the weak are so powerless.

Born in the mud, died in the mud.

This kind of life is too ridiculous, and this kind of life is definitely not what I, Chu Hongxiu, want.

I also want to stand high in the sky, take a look at the beautiful scenery there, live up to this life, live up to my youth..."

Qingshuang was silent, understood what Hongxiu meant, and said coldly, "Is it worth it just for this...?"

"Of course it's worth it."

Hong Xiu's tone was firm, she smiled brightly and said:

"Before Lu Qian met the leader, he was just a pawn of the Stone League. After being accepted as a servant by the leader, he changed his fate against the sky and became the current owner of Shiling City, and the foundation is expected to be established.

I want to sell myself and stand on a higher ground. Of course, I want to sell it at the best price. If the leader is strong, powerful, and a nostalgic person, he is the best choice. "

Qingshuang looked directly at her and said: "If you don't do this, you can still become a foundation-building monk in the Stone Cult, and marry someone you like in the future?"

"Haha! Like it?"

Hongxiu couldn't help laughing and said: "Sister, like it or not, it's worthless... I'm earning an opportunity, betting with my life, earning a chance to stand high in the sky..."

……

Hongxiu left for a long time.

Qingshuang was still standing quietly in the garden, recalling her words, she felt an inexplicable sense of loss...

……

in the secret room.

The Fire Lin Knife has been forged in the Qingshen Baoding for more than ten days.

"It's done!"

boom!
A fiery red light shot out from the mouth of the tripod, drawing countless red shadows in the secret room.

Cao Cuo said with satisfaction:
"Sure enough, the spirituality of this knife has greatly increased."

Chimang sensed the master's call, hovered beside Cao Cuo, and turned into a red wooden knife.

After receiving the treasured sword, the spiritual light was hidden and became calm.

The cracks on the Huolin Knife have been completely repaired, and the body of the knives has become jade-like, and its weight has more than doubled.

After the ten-thousand-year fire jade has been incorporated into this knife, its spirituality is even stronger. Although it is only a middle-grade magic weapon, its power is not inferior to a high-grade magic weapon.

Cao Cuo stroked the newly baked sword, the temperature was still there, and he said in a happy mood:
"That's right, the Fire Lin Knife is quite usable."

With a move of consciousness, he opened his mouth and said:

"come in!"

Chu Hongxiu, who was dressed in red, walked in and saluted, "Master!"

"What's the matter?"

Hong Xiu smiled slightly and said, "Didn't the leader say that he would help Hao Jiantong build a foundation in Jintang Valley? He has been waiting in the valley for three days, but the leader is still in retreat, so it's not easy to disturb him."

Cao Cuo touched his forehead with one hand, and said awkwardly:
"I was so focused on refining the magic weapon that I almost missed this matter. What about the others?"

Hongxiu explained: "The rest of the people are now in Shiling City, either retreating to polish their mana, or assisting Lu Mengzhu in handling the city's general affairs, leaving me here to wait for the leader to dispatch."

"Ah."

Cao Cuo nodded, this is what he ordered earlier, and he doesn't need to be with anyone.

He casually ordered: "Understood, just leave if there is nothing to do."

Hong Xiu did not leave, but said softly:
"Master, I also want to go to Jintang Valley to see how Hao Jiantong built his foundation."

"It takes at least a hundred days to build a foundation, and you need to retreat and break through without being disturbed. What can you see?"

Cao Cuo refused.

Hongxiu turned into a cute and pitiful little woman:
"I just want to experience flying the imperial weapon."

Cao Cuo frowned, and said flatly:
"Forget it, it's not too late, let's start now."

The words dared to fall, and the Huolin knife in his hand became huge and turned into a red glow.

"Hoo!" Picking up Cao Cuo and Hongxiu, they fled towards Jintang Valley in the south of the city.

Hongxiu exhaled like blue and said: "The leader subdued Hao Jiantong not only to deal with Huanlou."

Cao Cuo remained calm: "Oh, what did you see?"

Hongxiu analyzed:
"Hao Jiantong was treacherous, and killed a large number of Stone Sect disciples. It was not a pity to kill him, but the leader never wanted to kill him. After saving his life, he helped him build a foundation, and his intention to cultivate him was obvious. "

Cao Miss smiled and said: "Since you joined the Stone Sect, you are my disciple. It is natural and not unusual to train one or two."

Hong Xiu blinked and said with a smile: "A woman's intuition tells me that there are other uses for the leader to keep him."

Just intuition?Cao made a mistake and didn't respond.

The red awn pierced the sky, fell into Jintang Valley, and hung in the cave.

Hao Jiantong in the cave saw the man in the light, and quickly saluted: "I have seen the leader."

"Exemption."

Cao Cuo waved his hand, and noticed that Hao Jiantong's eyes were a little wandering, looking uneasy.

Obviously, this person lacks confidence in building the foundation, so this will not work. If the Dao heart is not strong, if you break through the foundation building, you will die and there will be no life, and the resources you have invested will be in vain.

"Hao Jiantong!"

Hao Jiantong trembled when he heard his leader calling.

Secret way: What should come will always come.

He cupped his hands and said:

"Subordinates are here!"

Cao Cuo smiled, looked straight into the other's eyes, and asked:
"How much do you get for this foundation building?"

Hao Jiantong's face turned bitter, he hesitated and said: "Hao's bone age is over sixty, even though he is fully prepared, he is at most [-]% sure that he will be able to cast an immortal foundation."

Cao Cuo nodded and said, "That's enough."

"enough?"

Hao Jiantong suspected that he had heard wrongly, how could only [-]% be enough, if the foundation building failed this time, he might be useless.

Cao Cuo seemed to see the other party's mind, and threw something:

"Take it."

It's a pill bottle.

After Hao Jiantong opened it, he poured out a jet-black pill. The medicinal fragrance was very faint, and he couldn't smell any ingredients. He said doubtfully:
"This is?"

"This is Tongtian Pill."

Cao Cuo's eyes were like lightning, and he said mysteriously: "This is the magic medicine secreted by my teacher, which can increase the success rate of foundation establishment by [-]%."

"Who is the master's teacher?"

Hao Jiantong was startled, the master's sect actually had this magical medicine.

"That's not something you can know now."

The leader kept his secrets to himself, and he didn't want to say more, so Hao Jiantong believed it a little more.

This green locust Gu is not an ordinary Gu insect, it is not easy for the teacher's sect to cultivate this thing.

Hao Jian knew Chad's magical medicine, and the foundation was in sight, and he said with great joy:

"With this Tongtian Pill, wouldn't I be [-]% sure to build the Immortal Foundation?"

"There is no absolute reason for everything, taking Tongtian Pills, the chance of building a foundation will increase to [-]% at most."

Cao Cuo solemnly said: "The rest depends on whether your heart to the Tao is firm enough, so don't waste my magical medicine."

"Yes, thank you, the leader, for giving me the magic medicine."

Hao Jiantong was determined in his heart, now he firmly believed in the efficacy of Tongtian Pill, it was a blessing to be [-]% sure, and he didn't dare to ask for more.

A quarter of an hour later.

Hao Jiantong got ready and entered the secret room to start building the foundation.

In the cave

Seeing that the door of the secret room was closed, Hong Xiu covered his mouth with a light smile and said:
"The leader's Tongtian Pill, is it a counterfeit medicine?"

Cao Cuo looked unmoved, and said bluntly:
"There is no Tongtian Pill, it's just a lump of ordinary medicinal paste that has lost its taste."

Hongxiu couldn't help but say:
"There are so many flaws in the leader's words, Hao Jiantong is very scheming, how could he easily believe it?"

Cao Cuo didn't hide anything, and explained: "Just now, the eyes, medicines, and conversations I had with him were all mediums for performing illusions. Hao Jiantong focused all his attention on breaking through and building foundations, and he was hit by the magic before he knew it. to be sure of it.”

"Why did the leader cast illusions on him?"

"He lacks confidence, and his hope of establishing a foundation is slim, and he needs to strengthen his heart..."

Hongxiu was puzzled and said:
"Would it be useful to break through the foundation building with a false Dao heart built with illusion?"

Cao Cuo said casually: "Who knows, Zhu Jidan has been taken, and it's too late for him to regret it now."

Hong Xiu was stunned, feeling that the leader had dug a huge hole for Hao Jiantong.

Actually, the situation is not that bad.

Cao Cuo is also pondering the situation of the new illusion.

What Hao Jiantong uses is not an ordinary illusion, but a new type of illusion developed by Cao Cuo combined with hypnosis theory.

The characteristic of this technique is that it is extremely concealed and acts directly on the subconscious mind. People who have experienced the technique will not have any traces of the technique, and it will last for a long time. As long as it is not interrupted by external forces, it can be maintained forever.

The lie of Tongtian Pill is Hao Jiantong's medium, and after he builds his foundation, he will be endowed with more credibility.

At that time, even if Cao mistakenly told him that the Tongtian Pill was a fake medicine, he would not believe it, because his subconscious mind had already determined that the Tongtian Pill was the magical medicine that helped him successfully build his foundation.

Cao Cuo recalled that the process of performing the technique just now was quite smooth. It seems that Hao Jiantong's subconscious mind is also actively cooperating to strengthen this illusion. Maybe it also knows that postoperative surgery is more conducive to foundation building...

"You can never wake up a person who wants to get a surgery, unless the person who gets a surgery decides to wake up..."

Cao Cuo inexplicably remembered this sentence, and it was most appropriate for Hao Jiantong.
