Chapter 169 Truth and Illusion (4102 words in total)
"Don't touch it, it's unlucky."

Daqing didn't know when he appeared, and reached out to hold Lin Yi's wrist.

"Brother, when did you come back?" Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, with a surprised expression on his face.

He didn't notice anyone appearing behind him at all.

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I pass by?" Daqing touched Lin Yi's forehead suspiciously and murmured: "I don't have a fever."

what?
Lin Yi was stunned by the other party's answer.

There was a chill on his forehead, making him shiver.

Didn't Daqing leave and go to the kitchen because he was hungry?
Why do you say that you have never left?

Seeing that his little cousin was silent, Daqing said again: "Why are you so dazed? Don't stand here."

"That's right. It's scary to walk over suddenly." Zhao Danan, who was sitting at the card table, suddenly said something. He still had a deck of unfinished cards in his hand.

"Come here quickly!"

"Wake up. Wake up quickly."

This turn of events surprised Lin Yi.

There were too many mysteries coming towards Lin Yi, making him feel uneasy.

Hua Zi also looked at Lin Yi with the same gaze and shouted, "Come here quickly."

Annoyingly noisy.

Hua Zi, who was supposed to be resting, was nowhere to be seen.

The eternal lamp burst out with a burst of intense light.

Lin Yi looked at Zhao Danan, who was holding the cards, and then took a closer look at Hua Zi, who was leaning against the card table and yawning.

The sound came suddenly, like a piercing lightning, waking him up instantly.

The door was still dark, like a silent giant with its mouth open, always waiting for the unlucky guy to approach.

"Come here quickly!"

However, no matter how many doubts he had in his heart,
"Come here quickly." Zhao Danan stared at Lin Yi, repeating the same words as Da Qing.

There was a loud banging sound.

Is it his imagination?

Once you step out, bad things will happen.

At the same time, two identical masses of ashes were left next to the card table.

When did he get recruited?
Why is there one person missing?

When the flames burned out, only a cloud of ashes was left on the ground, sending out curls of smoke and blowing away in the wind.

"What a hell."

Someone pushed Lin Yi's shoulder and kept talking in his ear.

In an instant, Daqing beside him was suddenly ignited, turning into flames in an instant, making a crackling sound, like fireworks blooming in the night sky.

"What are you thinking about? Let's go quickly." Daqing said again, "Come here quickly."

"Come here quickly!"

So what happened.

When I was tired from standing, I just leaned on the table leg silently. After a while, I was so sleepy that I couldn't even open my eyelids.

It's completely impossible to tell the difference.

Is everything he sees now reality or an illusion?

The scene before me began to become clearer.

Lin Yi looked at Daqing in front of him in shock and confusion, his heart full of doubts and confusion.

Except for Lin Yi, there was no one else here.

As the flames burned, the person standing in front of Lin Yi turned into a paper man and was swallowed bit by bit by the flames.

Time passed bit by bit, but Lin Yi never left the range of the ever-burning lantern.

how come!
He immediately turned his head and looked at the legs of the wooden table where the memorial tablets were placed. There was nothing there.

Lin Yi rubbed his eyes unconsciously and looked up at the person standing in front of him.

The surrounding candles were burning normally, illuminating the entire mourning hall.

Which one is true?

He was afraid that everything was an illusion to deceive him.

The sounds overlapped and kept echoing in Lin Yi's ears.

Lin Yi covered his ears and took two steps back. Unexpectedly, he bumped into the wooden table with the memorial tablets.

"Well"

"You finally woke up, you scared me to death." Hua Zi reached out and pulled Lin Yi up from the ground.

Lin Yi couldn't help but squint his eyes at the dazzling light. After slowly adapting, he gradually recognized the surrounding scene.

He found that the sky was already bright, and layers of sunlight poured in, illuminating the entire space.

The light shines on the ground through the tall windows, outlining mottled shadows, and the ornaments hanging on the walls shine faintly in the sunlight.

"It's dawn?" Lin Yi blinked his eyes, and his blurred consciousness had become clear.

Huazi shouted happily: "Yes, yes, I finally made it to daybreak."

"Where are the others? Where's my brother? Are we the only two left?" Lin glanced around and found that no one else appeared except him and Hua Zi.

Although the weather outside is nice, the sun is shining, and the birds are chirping.

Everything looks back to normal.

But he still didn't let go of his doubts.

After hearing Lin Yi's question, Hua Zi, who was originally happy, suddenly became depressed.

"I do not know."

"When I woke up, it was already dark, and you were sleeping next to me."

Hua Zi's words made Lin Yi frown.

In other words, the two of them fell asleep under the protection of the evergreen lamp this night, but Zhao Danan, Dawu and Daqing were nowhere to be found.

They never appeared again.

"How about we go find them?" Hua Zi hesitated for a moment and then carefully suggested.

Lin Yi always felt that something was wrong. He did not answer immediately, but instead looked at the entire mourning hall again.

Is it true this time?

The entire mourning hall seemed quiet and solemn, the air was filled with a touch of sandalwood, and the candles on the candlesticks swayed gently in the breeze.

Lin Yi continued to look around. The black coffin was still neatly placed in its original position and had not been moved.

There are also some white flowers scattered on it, exuding an elegant fragrance.

In addition to the tablets with names and birth and death engraved on the wooden table directly in front, there is also a statue of a god.

Under the illumination of the sky, the statue looks more ancient and mysterious, and its face seems to be shining with a faint light, as if it is watching all this.

The only incongruous thing is that the corners of the statue's mouth are slightly raised.

It was different from what he had seen before, less majestic and more lively.

But this is not the main problem.

Lin Yi withdrew his gaze, not feeling anything uncomfortable.

On the contrary, it gives people an illusion of sudden enlightenment.

"Hey, why did you stop talking all of a sudden? Do you want to go?" Hua Zi swallowed with some fear.

He couldn't see what Lin Yi was looking at when he suddenly looked around.

It was as if there was something unknown hidden around them.

It's so scary and terrifying.

Could this be the case in front of him?
Thinking of this, Hua Zi couldn't help but shudder, and shook his head crazily, trying to dispel the terrible thought just now.

But the more you avoid it, the more you think about it.

The image of Lin Yi turning into a dirty thing even began to appear in his mind.

"Aren't you scared? How dare you go find someone?" Lin turned around and met Hua Zi's horrified eyes, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Hua Zi shook his head nervously and carefully took two steps back, "How about we leave here first and then notify others to look for it together?"

He doesn't want to be here anymore.

Don't think about it for a second.

"I'm not leaving." Lin Yi glanced at the door again, but the uneasiness in his heart had not completely dissipated.

Although he was sure that Hua Zi next to him should be fine.

But it can't be judged whether the scene at the door is real.

"What are you still doing here?" Hua Zi didn't understand. He really couldn't stand it anymore. This place is terrible.

He can also eat people!

"I always feel something is wrong. I won't leave anyway." Lin Yi shook his head to express his attitude.

Huazi glanced at him silently, and said as if he had finally made up his mind: "Then take care of yourself, I'll leave first."

After speaking, he carefully glanced at Lin Yi's face.

After seeing that there was no change in him, I was relieved of half of my fear.

Hua Zi, who was no longer speechless, walked quickly towards the door.

There was only one thought in his mind, just get out of here.

As long as you leave, you will be safe.

However, the moment he stepped out with one foot, an accident happened.

The huge suction force pulled Hua Zi out.

Half of the body disappeared directly into the air.

It's like there's something else on the other side of the door.

"No, just me." Hua Zi felt something was wrong and turned to Lin Yi for help.

Lines of black energy appeared on his face, covering the remaining half of his body that was still struggling.

The whole thing happened in less than three seconds.

The black energy disappeared, and so did the people.

Snapped.
I don’t know what broke it.

The next second the light outside disappeared, there was no sunshine, no birdsong, only darkness and silence.

Sure enough, it's still fake.

Lin Yi took a deep breath and looked at the statue again.

The subtle sound he caught in his ears just now came from here.

There is a crack in the middle of the statue.

The appearance of the originally ancient and mysterious statue changed drastically, but it was twisted into a terrifying and strange expression.

A strange smile appeared on the face of the statue, and the corners of its mouth were raised, as if it was silently mocking Lin Yi.

The originally solemn and mysterious eyes now became hollow and evil, hiding endless gloom and darkness.

The light of the candlelight shines on the face of the statue, reflecting the strange light and shadow, making it appear even more twisted and terrifying.

Lin Yi felt an icy chill hit his heart, and he could hardly believe his eyes.

This weird change made the atmosphere of the entire mourning hall become depressing and weird, as if there was an unspeakable power of fear hidden inside.

The moment he looked at the statue, huge fear and uneasiness swept over him, as if something was staring at him.

The huge sense of oppression and powerlessness made his spirit tense to the extreme again.

There was even a moment when he felt that the air around him had solidified and time had stopped.

This sudden change left him unable to resist.

Damn it, when will it end?

Now he seemed to be in a fog, unable to see clearly the path under his feet and unable to find the right direction.

Lin Yi had no other choice but to use the Five Thunder Immortal Technique again. ,

Although there were no enemies for him to deal with at the moment, he felt that his energy was being consumed little by little as he faced layer after layer of false illusions.

Instead of doing that, it's better to use skills and see.

Maybe there will be new discoveries.

A warm current surged into his body, dispelling most of the negative emotions in his heart.

Lin Yi felt that his mental fatigue had dissipated a lot.

But there was still a faint layer of fatigue occupying his brows.

He breathed in and out slowly and even rubbed his cheeks vigorously with his hands.

Finally the condition is getting better again.

With the invisible lightning protecting his body, Lin Yi mustered up the courage to take a step and left the range of the ever-brightening lantern.

A ball of lightning condensed in his hand, dispelling the darkness beneath his feet.

Step by step closer to the door.

Just when he was one step away from the threshold, he stopped.

He directly released the lightning in his hand and threw it out the door.

If one is not enough move on to the next.

He never stopped moving.

A minute later, he heard a violent roar coming from outside.

Something was rolling in the darkness, and you could vaguely see the flash of lightning thrown out.

Sure enough, there was something hidden outside the door.

Lin Yi released the lightning again without thinking, and threw the ball in his hand towards the rolling place as if it was for free.

Roar.
A loud sound shook the sky.

The rolling spot stopped.

There were cracks, like a piece of glass being broken.

Countless mine lights shot out, illuminating the scene outside the door.

Countless black and thunder lights intertwined together, revealing their original colors.

A huge black beast closed its mouth, with traces of lightning burns on its mouth.

No wonder it was dark outside and there was no sound.

It turned out that the giant beast in front of the eyeliner blocked all the light.

The giant beast's dark pupils stared closely at the lightning in Lin Yi's hand, its eyes full of fear and fear.

From time to time, a low growl similar to a warning came out of his mouth.

As soon as Lin took a step forward, the beast took a step back.

The continuous release of lightning is blocked by the black energy around the giant beast, and the power of the two is almost the same.

Lin Yi couldn't kill the opponent in a short period of time, and the opponent couldn't do anything to him.

A man and an animal stood in a stalemate in the yard.

At this moment, a strange sound came from further away.

Boom—boom, boom, boom.

The night watchman played his clapper and shouted loudly: "It's three o'clock at midnight, everything is safe."

Dark clouds gathered again and covered the moon.

The giant beast caught this change of breath and escaped through the dim light.

Ok?
Lin Yi did not continue to chase. Who knew if there would be more giant beasts like this outside.

What he was more curious about was the sentence just now.

If I remember correctly, I have heard the exact same words before.

There are also long and three slow knocking sounds.

Is there any connection between the two?

Lin Yi thought distressedly, turned around and walked back into the mourning hall.

What came into view was a trio playing cards at the card table. They all held cards in their hands and remained motionless, without even blinking.

Next to him was Dawu, who was still sleeping on his stomach.

This time half of his face was exposed.

what's the situation?
Lin Yi quickly walked in and checked, and everyone was frozen.

But the surrounding candlelight was still beating, and crackling sounds were made from time to time.

It shows that space is not completely static.

Why is this happening?

Before he had time to think, he heard a few unusual footsteps approaching the mourning hall.

No, you have to hide first.

But there is no place to hide people around the mourning hall.

If you go out now, you will most likely bump into each other.

Lin Yi's eyes turned around on Hua Zi.

Rather.
