After eavesdropping on my thoughts, the whole family went crazy.

Chapter 36: First Entering the Illusion
Lanterns hang high on both sides of the street, with colorful paper wrapped on lamp stands of various shapes.

At this time, the sky has darkened, and lanterns of red, yellow, green and other colors are particularly conspicuous in the night, lighting up the whole street.

The further inside you go, the more you can feel the festive atmosphere. Music, talking and laughter came one after another. The sound of pipa occasionally came from the lake in the distance, and there was a faint singing voice of a singer. People were dressed in festive costumes and laughing. There are children holding red lanterns in one hand and snacks in the other, walking through the crowd.

There are many stalls on both sides of the street.

Su Ran pulled Hua Rongqi and walked inside, passing by the puppet stall, candy man stall, jewelry stall and so on.

There was a shouting not far ahead. Hua Rongqi looked up and saw that there seemed to be some acrobatic performers, so he asked, "Go and see?"

Su Ran had no objection, but after walking a certain distance, she noticed something was wrong.

"Wait." Su Ran pulled Hua Rongqi, who turned his head, and their expressions were surprisingly consistent.

"Don't you feel something is wrong?" Su Ran felt something was wrong when she said this, and felt a chill on her back.

Hua Rongqi didn't fare much better. He said in a hoarse voice: "I feel it."

They have been walking for so long, why is the place where they perform acrobatics still so far away! ! !

Hua Rongqi himself is someone who has used illusions, so he naturally knows what is going on.

But Su Ran doesn’t know that she is just a little girl without spiritual roots who loves to read supernatural novels!
So she almost immediately thought of the legendary ghost hitting the wall.

After realizing this, Su Ran seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move forward: "It's over."

Hua Rongqi looked solemn and nodded in agreement: "It's a bit tricky."

Hearing what he said, Su Ran became even more frightened. Countless ghost stories flashed through her mind, and finally she said in a deep voice: "Ghosts beat the wall."

Hua Rongqi: "Hmm???"

WTF? ?
"No." The serious atmosphere was broken by Su Ran's words. Hua Rongqi smiled and said: "It's an illusion. Others have set up formations around it. We accidentally came in."

Su Ran said "Ah". After knowing that it was not what she was afraid of, she relaxed a lot, and even her tone became more relaxed: "Isn't this what you are good at?"

She still remembered how Hua Rongqi used the environment to deceive Mu Zhengping. Even when they arrived at Prince Su's Mansion, they didn't see the flaw in Hua Rongqi's pregnancy.

"Uh" Hearing the trust in Su Ran's tone, Hua Rongqi felt a little guilty for no reason: "It's not the same."

"Huh?" Su Ran didn't understand these strange armor-defying techniques and waited for Hua Rongqi's answer.

"My one is a conscious illusion, others are still in reality, and it is easy to break it. But this one right now"

Hua Rongqi didn't say any more, the reality was right in front of him. The situation they were in now was obviously not an illusion of consciousness, but an illusion of the real body that pulled people into it!

Once something happens, you are really dead! ! !
Su Ran understood what he was saying. After all, she was well-read and had seen many similar plots.

Hua Rongqi was so focused on his surroundings that he didn't notice Su Ran's reaction. He kept talking to himself: "To break the illusion, you have to find the formation. Most of the ways to break this kind of illusion are to complete a certain task." , as for where the mission comes from, we have to find it ourselves."

Su Ran nodded clearly. This illusion was very similar to the infinite flow novels she had read.

The singing on the lake is still going on, the surrounding conversations are in low tones, and the shouts from the vendors are still going on.

"Are there still living people around here?" Su Ran asked, thinking of the common NPCs in Wuyouliu novels.

Hua Rongqi took a breath of air. It was the first time for him to enter this kind of illusion, especially without any preparation.

"Probably. Maybe not."

Su Ran nodded clearly. Compared with the initial fear of the unknown, now he is not so afraid. Instead, he has a novel feeling of being in a holographic game.

It wasn't that Hua Rongqi didn't feel the change in Su Ran's mood. He felt that Su Ran didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, so he emphasized again: "If an accident happens in the illusion, we will really die."

Su Ran: "Yeah!"

Hua Rongqi: "."

Hua Rongqi: "If we can't crack the illusion, we will die here. Some illusions have a specified time to crack."

Su Ran: "Yeah!"

Hua Rongqi: "."

No, why are you not afraid at all?

Hua Rongqi didn't know what he said wrongly, which caused such a big change in Su Ran's mentality.

Hua Rongqi sighed and consciously took on the important task of breaking the illusion.

After all, he is also a monk in the Four Realms. Su Ran is an ordinary person without spiritual roots. He should protect Su Ran.

Thinking of this, to prevent accidents, a faint blue light appeared around the two people.

"I am the Ice Spirit Root." Hua Rongqi took the initiative to explain: "The five elements of Qi in the air are richest in metal, wood, water, fire and earth, followed by Thunder and Ice. Therefore, these two spiritual roots are often used in cultivation. It is relatively slow. But there are gains and losses. Fire, thunder, and ice have the most powerful attacks, and those who are skilled can often leapfrog the challenge."

"But your third brother is an exception. He is a thunder type, but he practices very quickly."

Everyone has talents, and Su Tianliu's talent in cultivation is obvious to all. Even if Hua Rongqi usually dislikes Su Tianliu, he has to admit that this person is indeed a rare genius.

This was the first time Su Ran saw Hua Rongqi using spiritual power. She couldn't help but become curious, and her eyes fell on the blue circle and couldn't move away.

Su Ran withdrew her gaze from the blue circle, turned to the surrounding environment that looked a bit mottled under the light, and asked, "Are there any other living people in this illusion?"

It was bright around them, but outside the range of the light, it was pitch black.

Hua Rongqi thought for a while and said, "There shouldn't be many people as unlucky as us."

Hua Rongqi said this politely.

Illusions like this are usually set up for a specific person, and others rarely enter by mistake.

Wait, a specific person——

With a beautiful face and a happy soul, he looked at Su Ran beside him: "If someone specially set up this illusion for you, then there should be no other living people coming in."

Seeing that Hua Rongqi was about to say "I was involved in this by you", Su Ran quickly clarified the relationship: "How could it be because of me! I have no power and no enemies, so if you do it, it's my third brother. !”

Hua Rongqi thought the same thing. Su Ran had just been recognized by Prince Su's Mansion not long ago, and there was no sensation in the whole process. There was no reason why someone would keep an eye on Su Ran.

With this skill, it would be better to plot against Su Tianliu, the most talented descendant of Prince Su's family.

"Maybe someone set this up for you, and I'm just an innocent passerby who was implicated by you." Su Ran turned the topic to Hua Rongqi.

Hua Rongqi pointed at himself and repeated in disbelief: "Me?"

"Ang." Su Ran imitated Hua Rongqi's tone just now, "After all, you have so many enemies who cheat money and sex. Is it normal for someone to seek revenge on you?"

"It's pity that I, a weak woman with no strength, have been dragged into this by you." Su Ran sighed jokingly, pretending to be pity.

Hua Rongqi: "."

"Don't ruin my reputation outside. What does it mean to defraud money and sex? How bad is it if others hear about it?" Hua Rongqi said, and then added in a low voice: "Besides, none of the people I deceived were so powerful. A character can create an illusion of his true body."

Su Ran looked around, raised an eyebrow and said, "Who can hear me now?"

The surroundings are still noisy, but there is still no one alive!
However, as soon as Su Ran finished speaking, there was a noise from the corner.

The two of them looked in that direction at the same time. Hua Rongqi took Su Ran to take a step back, and then stood in front of her.

The originally light blue halo became stronger, and there was a faint tendency to merge into an ice blade. There was no light in that corner, and there was no brightness. The voices around them gradually faded away. Su Ran and Hua Rongqi held their breath and were alert at all times.

In the silence, a young man in mysterious clothes walked from the darkness.

He held a cold sword in his hand, his skin was whiter than snow, and scattered light shadows fell on his stunningly beautiful face.

"A living person?" The young man tilted his head slightly, said with a cold voice and a sad expression.

Su Ran asked back: "Otherwise it's a dead person?"

Hearing this, the young man was not angry, and a smile burst out of his beautiful lips. Su Ran couldn't tell whether it was a ridicule or a sneer.

Immediately afterwards, I heard him say: "If you think so, that's fine."

The threat was spoken like a reward.

Seemingly unaware of the young man's murderous intent, Su Ran replied honestly: "I don't really want to die yet."

Hua Rongqi looked at the boy in Xuanyi, then at Su Ran, and whispered in her ear: "You are so big-hearted."

"What if he is the bait of this illusion?" Hua Rongqi said.

Su Ran: "Even if he is a bait, you wouldn't say it in front of others, right?"

Hua Rongqi: ".?"

When he turned around, the distance between the boy in Xuanyi and him was only three steps, right next to the blue circle.

Hua Rongqi: "."

Why is this man walking silently?
Hua Rongqi lowered his head subconsciously and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing a shadow on the ground. Not long after, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

There are shadows of other people on the street too! ! !
Isn’t he still a dummy?
In front of others, Hua Rongqi couldn't say anything more and could only look at him warily: "Sorry, I didn't mean it."

He would not admit that this person was obviously higher in cultivation than him and then he would give in!

The young man in Xuanyi raised his chin. He understood it and didn't care about Hua Rongqi.

He was more interested in Su Ran than Hua Rongqi.

This girl looks so delicate and has no spiritual roots. She is not afraid of being in a place like this.

Xie Shiqing didn't know if this was considered fearless.

But her fearlessness is not annoying, but rather interesting.

Xie Shiqing thought it might be because of his pride.

Xie Shiqing is very picky and likes all good-looking things, but few people can catch his eye.

And the girl in front of her does have the ability to make people notice her at a glance in a crowd.

Without him, he looks so good-looking.

She has a small face, smooth skin, beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and her facial features are as delicate as if they were carved from jade.

Xie Shiqing gently raised his eyelids and glanced at Su Ran: "Let's go, we haven't reached the interior yet."

Su Ran didn't understand the meaning of the inner scene and looked at Hua Rongqi.

For some reason, Hua Rongqi glanced at the young man in Xuanyi first, showing a provocative emotion, and then answered Su Ran: "Only when we reach the inner realm can we truly enter the illusion. We should now be in the outer realm, that is, setting up formations." Not far away.”

"Only when you enter the inner realm can you start to break the formation. Once you step into the illusion, you can't get out unless you break it."

"So we have to go inland."

See, she and I are more familiar!

When she encounters someone she doesn’t understand, she only asks me!

Su Ran didn't notice Hua Rongqi's emotions. After hearing his explanation, he nodded clearly: "If we can't find the inner realm, we will have to keep going like this, right?"

"Yes." This was said by Xie Shiqing.

The other party's sudden voice made Su Ran cast a surprised look.

But Hua Rongqi became more and more certain that this person must be a fairy born in an illusion to confuse people's hearts!
He is so familiar with this method of seducing people!
Su Ran looked at the gradually thinning crowd in front of him and said, "Go a little further in and take a look."

Xie Shiqing didn't say anything, but took the lead.

Hua Rongqi narrowed his eyes, an inexplicable hostility surged up, and he became more and more displeased with this person.

If I had to say it, it was more unpleasant than Su Tianliu.

No one in the group said anything. Su Ran paid attention to the surroundings, Hua Rongqi stared at Xie Shiqing, and Xie Shiqing looked cold, not knowing what he was thinking.

The further you walked in, the quieter you became, and the surroundings began to change at some point.

The houses became fewer and fewer, and the sounds of people gradually disappeared, until there was a fork in the road ahead.

A very typical Y-shaped mouth, both of which are dark, leading to nowhere, and full of unknown danger.

The three of them stopped and Su Ran asked, "Where to go?"

If it was a normal fork in the road, the worst possible outcome would be to start over in the wrong direction.

But this is not normal. This is a strange and dense illusion. If you are not careful, the death of three people may be in danger.

Hmm. When his eyes touched the young man in Xuanyi, Su Ran silently changed his words.

It should be: if she is not careful, she and Hua Rongqi will be in danger of death.

This guy looks like a big shot at first glance!
He is calm and collected in the face of danger, exuding an aura of "I am a boss".

Su Ran felt that this person was very reliable and going with him would increase the probability of survival.

Hua Rongqi thought Su Ran was asking him, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a cold voice interrupt: "Throw a copper coin."

Hua Rongqi: "."

Who asked you! Who asked you! ! !
However, he didn't know which way to go. After thinking about it, on the one hand, he felt that the method of throwing copper coins was unreliable, and on the other hand, he really couldn't think of any other way.

After some ideological struggle, Hua Rongqi angrily took out a copper coin.

"Who's going to throw it?" he asked Su Ran.

This time the young man in black clothes didn't say anything, which made Hua Rongqi quite satisfied.

Su Ran recalled her history of having a black face and refused: "You do it."

Hua Rongqi didn't refuse, threw the copper coin into the air, stretched out his hand to catch it, and held it against the palm of his hand.

The reason why he caught it without waiting for the copper coin to fall to the ground was because the surrounding area was dark and there was no guarantee that he would be able to get the copper coin back after it rolled around on the ground.

Instead of doing this, it is better to catch it in advance, and the results will be the same anyway.
