I work as a cook in Xuanmen

Chapter 57 Illusion
Sleepy God Valley is a very magical place.

Low-level monks came in to find the inner elixir of monster beasts in exchange for spiritual stones. Those who came in had never been out, and most of them were rescued in spirit bodies.

Grand masters with high cultivation levels don't like those spiritual stones, and they usually won't come.

This has led to the fact that to this day, no one has come to challenge these evil places.

As we go deeper, the difficulties become greater.

At this point I don't know what's going to happen next.

Because I saw the small village where I lived before I was five years old.

and familiar villagers in the village.

They are busy on their own, although they don't know what they are busy with.

I walked under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.

I felt a little excited, and the excitement only lasted a short time.

There is a group of old women and young women gathered around here.

They stood in a circle, bursting into laughter from time to time, and then quarreled for some reason, and finally reconciled.

They seemed unaware of the pain in the world, and seemed to have experienced countless hardships.

Because in my memory, they all worked with their faces facing the loess and their backs turned to the sky.

The quarrels and curses after returning home, as well as the torture of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, left little joy.

They wouldn’t laugh that much, and they wouldn’t have time to sit and chat.

They seemed to have noticed me. They all stretched out their hands to hold me and asked me how I was doing outside.

Their enthusiasm was a little too much. After all, in my memory, their poverty made them rarely smile.

After retreating from the excitement, I knew clearly in my heart that they were not true.

But facing these people who have left deep memories in my heart, I really don’t want them to disappear again.

The big locust tree swayed crazily, but the leaves hung firmly on the branches and did not fall off.

The women, as if they were unaware of everything around them, still kept me chatting with them.

Tears blurred my vision.

I was choked up and speechless. How great it would be if all this were true.

I must have entered some kind of illusion.

"But the man you married bullied you? If you are bullied, you have to tell us and we will help you vent your anger." Woman A said.

Then everyone started talking, "That's right. You were raised by us. We are all your elders. Don't be embarrassed to us all."

At this moment, a person walked slowly from the entrance of the village. He was tall and erect, with an upright appearance.

When he saw me, his expression didn't change much.

The women around me were jokingly pushing me around.

I was very confused because I didn’t know this person!

Although he walked straight in front of me, bent down and said to me, "Madam, my husband is here to take you home."

I shook my head and said bluntly, "I don't know you, and I won't go with you."

The big locust tree shook even more violently. I leaned against the big locust tree and held on to the branches with my hands, as if this would give me some courage.

The man's face was very ugly, and he said helplessly, "Ladies and sisters-in-law, please help me to persuade you. If we don't want to quarrel, we shouldn't get married!"

I really don’t know this person, but the faces of the women surrounding him who were smiling just now are now gloomy.

"You girl, even if you have a quarrel, you can't lose your temper. If he comes to you, just follow him back." The aunt who spoke had a gloomy face.

She lived next door to me when I was a child, and she was always the one who helped me the most. She had never treated me like this.

"Husbands and wives argue at the beginning of the bed and at the end of the bed. Don't run away from home easily. Follow them back quickly."

Another one has already started to pull my skirt.

I got close to the tree branch, raised my hand and waved her hand away.

This time things went wrong, and the gloomy face turned into an angry one.

There were even villagers carrying hoes and sickles approaching from a distance.

But the man who claimed to be my husband stared at me with a look on his face.

There was a sarcastic smile on his lips.

This is an illusion, and every illusion has an eye. I have to find the eye before I can get out.

I raised my eyes and looked around. The houses that I could only see around me had disappeared into the mist.

The villagers with full anger points got closer.

Apart from the man, there was only the big locust tree that kept shaking.

Unsuccessful, they become benevolent.

I took out the Xianyun Sword and slashed it down at the big locust tree. This attack used 100% of my strength, and I seemed to be cutting on a layer of barrier.

Except for that man, everything else disappeared like a broken mirror.

Cosine stood one step away from me.

In addition to worry, there was anger on his face.

This anger was not directed at me, but at the unidentified man standing not far away.

"Cosine."

Hearing me calling him, Yu Xian turned to look at me, his worried expression receding.

The sky and the earth are changing colors.

The expression of the man in the distance changed from calm to fear.

Because the name I called was Cosine.

He seemed to know Cosine, or had heard of Cosine's name.

Then Yu Xian sacrificed the Demon Slayer Sword.

The man preparing to fight in the distance suddenly disappeared.

Yu Xian pulled me behind him and turned around to look around.

The voice was so gloomy that I had never heard it before, "You hidden rat, do you think you can avoid my Demon Slayer Sword by being invisible?"

When I broke through the illusion, my body was able to use my spiritual power again.

The demon-killing sword stood in the air, turning wildly, and the huge spiritual power fluctuations from the sword's body seemed to shoot out thousands of lights and shadows.

The trees around us were reduced to ashes.

Only one treetop remains intact.

It should be the hiding place of that little boy.

The Demon Slayer Sword withdrew the rest of its attacks, focusing solely on attacking here.

Amidst the endless roar, the tree crown was broken.

Then a scream came and the man fell down.

Kneeling on one knee, with a trembling voice, he looked at the Demon Slayer Sword that had not yet stopped, and begged for mercy, "Today is not aimed at you two, but because the villain is blind. Please be kind to fellow Daoist Yu Xian."

"It's just a bit of illusion, but you don't know how thick the sky is?" Yu Xian's voice was as cold as if he had been dipped in ice water.

"There has always been a rule in Sleepy God Valley. Every formation has an eye. The monks who guard the formation will either take the lives of others or lose their own. But I don't want to die." The man looked up.

He was a little emotional, "If you are Yu Xian, the leader of the Xuanqing Sect, can you save me?"

Yuxian looked at the man coldly and said, "Why should I save you?"

I was used to Yu Xian's gentle attitude towards me, but when I suddenly saw his cold and heartless expression, I couldn't help but feel my heart tremble.

"I know I don't have anything extra, but I do have something that I hope can be exchanged for my life."

The man took out a jet black stone and raised it respectfully above his head.

This thing shouldn't be that important!

I looked at Yu Xian with my eyes, but Yu Xian's heart moved when he looked at the iron block.

His stern expression went away, and his face was replaced with an expression of joy.

It seemed like he had seen something unexpected.

He waved his hand and sucked the iron into his hand.

"Since you are so sincere, I will rescue you!"

The man knelt on the ground and thanked me profusely, "If I want to get out of the Valley of the Sleeping God, I will have to have a very high-level monk protect my true body with a barrier."

Then it turned into a wisp of smoke and floated into a realm bag.

Yu Xian tied the realm bag and summoned a falcon.

This is my first time seeing this falcon.

The majestic-looking falcon looked at me sharply with a pair of eagle eyes. Its beak opened and closed, as if it was laughing at my step back.

I wonder if they also live in the spiritual pet bag on weekdays?

I looked around at the falcon curiously.

Yu Xian patted my head and said, "Stop looking."

"Is this falcon of yours a spiritual pet?" I was curious.

"It is my transportation tool for training. My spiritual pet has also been overcoming the bottleneck recently." After saying this, Yu Xian tied the boundary bag to the falcon's neck and added a barrier to the boundary bag.

Then he patted the falcon on the head.

As if receiving his message, the falcon rose into the sky and disappeared into Sleepy God Valley.
