Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tangning said calmly: "You don't have to use sweet words to deceive me. I won't be fooled by you."

"It seems that you still don't understand your situation. My friend, you think I'm being sensationalized. Well, then! Let you see what this illusory world really looks like."

The man turned around and pushed gently on the stone wall. In an instant, light shone into the dim room. Through the gap in the stone wall, only a vast expanse of white could be seen.

"This room is a special space I created just for you. It is both a cage to trap you and a shield to protect you. As long as I push this door open, you will immediately fall into the illusion of Taixu , become its food, I want to remind you that so far, no one has been able to leave Taixu Illusion, but if you are willing to cooperate, we can leave here, have you thought about it?"

Tangning's face was expressionless and she said nothing.

The man sighed slightly.

As the stone wall was pushed open, strong and dazzling light poured in from the outside, flooding the entire room like a rushing flood. Tangning was in the middle of it, feeling her body floating like a leaf of duckweed in the sea, surrounded by The sky and the earth were completely white, and nothing could be seen clearly.

He drifted in a daze for who knows how long. As the dazzling white light gradually dissipated, he finally woke up and his vision returned to clarity. The first thing that caught his eye was the face of a gentle and kind middle-aged woman.

She was squatting down and looking down at him: "How are you? Are you okay?"

Tangning stood up from the ground and looked around. She saw a valley surrounded by mountains. In addition to the middle-aged woman, there were three other people nearby, a big man with a beard and a thin middle-aged man. The man, an old man with white beard and hair.

At this moment, the bearded man and the thin middle-aged man were about ten feet away from him. One was holding a black spear and the other was holding a red sword. Both of them were carrying shields and looking around with vigilant faces, as if they were on guard for something. They look like two forest heroes.

The woman stood in front of him, sizing him up, while the old man beside her was digging in the ground.

"It's really unlucky that you have fallen into this illusory realm." The old man sighed slightly.

Tang Ning looked at the two people in front of him without answering, and was secretly wary. He would not trust anyone casually now.

"I know what you are thinking. I suspect that we are the demons in our hearts who have turned out to lure you into a trap, right? When I first entered this realm, I was just like you. I felt that everything was an illusion. To be honest, until now, I am not sure. , is everything experienced in this illusory realm real?”

After hearing what he said, Tang Ning was a little surprised, but she still didn't speak.

"You can choose to leave, or you can choose to join us. It will be dark soon. I want to remind you that after night falls, there will be many Abyss Demons coming out to look for food. If they are discovered, it will be over." The old man said. , ignored him and continued digging the ground with a simple hoe.

Tangning watched them with cold eyes, motionless.

A middle-aged woman on the side was assisting the old man, handing him tools or something from time to time, and the sound of "clop" echoed in the valley.

After a while, the old man dug out a black stone from the bottom of the ground.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, it's getting late, should we go back?" At this time, the bearded man walked quickly, glanced at Tang Ning, walked to the old man and asked.

The old man looked up and saw that the sky was already dark.

Tangning couldn't help but look up. There was no full sun hanging in the sky, only white clouds floating in the air.

"Okay, let's go!"

The bearded man then carried the iron frame placed aside, which was filled with quarried stones of various colors.

The middle-aged woman greeted another thin man, and the four of them walked south.

When Tang Ning saw them leaving, she didn't know where to go for a moment. He was confused and didn't completely believe these people. After thinking for a while, he followed them step by step to see where these people were. Place to go.

At this time, he was just a weak divine soul body, having lost all abilities. Not to mention using magical powers, he could not even fly in the air.

"Why are you following him?" When the bearded man saw that he had been following him, he turned around and scolded him rudely.

The old man said: "I asked him to act with us. He has just fallen into Taixu Illusion and has no understanding of the situation here. He is also a fallen person in the world, so he can help him if he can. Besides, if there are more people, there will be more. Powerful!"

"Since you chose to join us, you should dedicate yourself to it, and leave this thing to you. Otherwise, get out." The bearded man took off the iron frame from behind and placed it in front of him.

Tangning looked at a few people, weighed it in her mind, and then carried the iron frame on her back. Unexpectedly, the object was extremely heavy. His whole body was so weak that he could barely lift it, and could not carry it on his body.

The old man winked. The middle-aged woman at the side understood what he meant, turned around and came to Tang Ning, helped him lift the iron frame, carried it on his body, and slightly lifted the iron frame to share his gravity.

The bearded man snorted coldly, and the other thin man looked on coldly like a passer-by without any expression.

After Tangning carried the iron frame on her back, she followed the others with unsteady steps.

"You have just entered the Taixu Illusion Realm, which is when your soul is at its weakest. It will be very dangerous here at night, so we only operate during the day and return to the shelter immediately at night." The woman said softly.

Tangning didn't respond and followed step by step with the iron frame on her back. After walking for about half an hour, she saw a cave appearing in front of her. There was a man guarding the door holding a knife and fork.

The entrance and exit of the cave were sealed by a black stone door. This stone door looked rough and not fine in workmanship at all. It looked like it was made of a large pile of stones.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, we are back." The man guarding the cave came to greet him. He greeted the old man and looked at Tang Ning: "Who is this?"

The old man said: "Like us, we are all poor people trapped in the illusion of Taixu. We found him at the foot of the valley."

The man nodded without saying anything. He pushed open the stone door of the cave, and a group of people entered the room. It was very dark inside, and one could hardly see his fingers. The road in the cave was initially narrow and could only accommodate one person, but it became wider as they walked.

Tangning followed a few people with an iron frame on her back and quietly observed the surroundings. She discovered that the four walls of the cave were covered with stone walls. Like the stone door outside the cave, the stone walls were very rough.

After walking for about tens of feet, a huge empty room appeared in front of them, filled with debris, including piles of rocks, various metal scraps, wood, and various stone jars filled with liquids.

Several people were sitting on the ground, each taking their own side. Only Tangning was still standing aside, and the iron frame behind him had been lowered.

"You should sit down too! You'll be in peace now that you're here. You're already here, why are you still so vigilant? Are you afraid that we will eat you." The old man said, "Let me introduce myself first. I, Huang Ziye, originally belonged to the Yuyuan Sect in Liangzhou."

After that, he pointed to the woman beside him and said, "This is fellow Taoist Su Muqing, who originally belonged to the Human Chamber of Commerce."

Then three other people were introduced, a bearded man named Jiang Fan, who was originally a monk of the Ying family. "

The thin, middle-aged man named Feng Desheng originally belonged to the Five Elements Sect in Liangzhou. "

The man guarding the stone gate of the cave is named Cao Yuan, who originally belonged to Xuanyu Pavilion in Tiannan Marsh.

"Don't you know your friend's name?"

Tangning stared at the group of people and suddenly said, "Stop playing tricks. You can't deceive me."

Jiang Fan had a look of disdain on his face, while Feng Desheng kept his eyes on his nose and his heart, as if he was not interested in all this. Cao Yuan looked at him with pity, but Su Muqing didn't show any expression.

The old man shook his head: "Whether you believe it or not, at least we are in the same boat now. You can leave at any time. If you are determined to stay and observe, you must obey our decision. From tomorrow on, You have to go out with us to collect supplies.”

Tangning didn't answer, the old man didn't say anything more, and the cave fell into silence for a while.

The old man, Jiang Fan, Cao Yuan, and Su Muqing all closed their eyes and rested. Only Feng Desheng stared blankly at the stone wall.

Even though Tangning was full of questions, he was still skeptical about everything that happened and did not speak rashly.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard a few weak strange screams. The screams were very frightening, and Tang Ning immediately became alert.

Jiang Fan opened his eyes and said mockingly: "It's the bat demon, don't make such a fuss."

Su Muqing explained: "Bat demons are a species in Taixu Illusion. Their heads are like humans and their bodies are like bats. They only come out and look for food at night. They are the most powerful creatures in Taixu Illusion. It comes out of the team and has the ability to fly, so it is very difficult to deal with.”

"The stone walls surrounding the cave are made of Taixu Stone. They can protect us from being discovered by the bats outside. What we went out to dig today is Taixu Stone."

Haunting screams came from time to time, but several people in the cave had long been accustomed to it and ignored them.

The night passed quickly. After the sky turned white, Huang Ziye said, "Fellow Taoist Cao, you stay and guard here. We will go to the east valley to search today."

None of them said a word, they all silently picked up knives, forks and other tools and came out one after another.

"What are you looking at? Remember your frame. If you don't want to stay here, get out." Seeing that he was motionless, Jiang Fan shouted.

Tang Ning did not answer, and without saying a word, she carried the iron frame on her back with several knives, forks and weapons inside. She followed them out of the cave and headed east. After walking for about an hour, she came to a dense forest.

Huang Ziye leaned down and looked for something in the grass. After a while, he locked an area, picked up the farm tools and started digging. As he dug deeper and deeper, after two or three feet into the ground, he saw only a red grape like A lot of unknown plants were carefully dug out.

A hint of joy flashed across Su Muqing's face, she picked a large leaf, wiped off the dirt on the red fruit beads, and put it into the iron frame on Tang Ning's back.

Jiang Fan and Feng Desheng were guarding not far away with guns and knives, as if they were wary of some ferocious beast.

Huang Ziye searched in the dense forest like a very experienced farmer. Sometimes he dug several feet and found nothing, and sometimes he could dig out one or two strange fruit beads.

During this period, Huang Ziye sometimes asked Tang Ning to participate in the excavation work. In this way, after a busy day, the group returned to the cave as it got dark. (End of chapter)
