Brother Xie, he is too popular. What should I do?

Chapter 205 Illusion Mechanism

What we know now is that these ten people are all in Gulan County and each has his or her own identity.

The only grand event in Gulan County is the upcoming martial arts conference, and the main content of this illusion should be related to the martial arts conference.

But the question is, how should the ten people in the illusion break out?

"We don't have enough information right now. The key to breaking the illusion is to find its core, or to meet the specific conditions within it. Every illusion is different. If they can recover their memories, their chances of success might be better."

Master Jingyuan spoke while looking at the light curtain.

"The key lies in the Qin Mansion. I wonder if this friend Xie has found any clues."

Xie Yunhe in the light curtain was in the library, flipping through books.

Seeing Xie Yunhe pick up a book titled "Compendium of Spiritual Herbs", Xuan Zhen was a little puzzled.

Although Xuanzhen is the most talented disciple of the younger generation of the Wanfo Sect, he rarely travels.

Even if he has to complete the sect's mission, he is fully capable of doing it with his strength.

I have never encountered any danger or any adventure.

After all, not everyone is a Long Aotian like Qin Yu, who belongs to a secret realm in five steps.

So he himself doesn't have much experience in secret realms.

Apart from some small secret realms of the Wanfo Sect, the Gulan Secret Realm is already the largest secret realm he has ever entered.

The main reason is that the elders in the sect do not agree with him going to other secret realms with higher risks.

After all, the world of immortal cultivation today is not as bloody as it was hundreds of years ago. It is still relatively peaceful, so there is no need to fight too hard.

This was the first time Xuan Zhen had seen this type of illusion.

"How could there be books about the world of immortal cultivation in the Qin Mansion in the illusion?"

He was referring to the "Compendium of Spiritual Herbs" in Xie Yunhe's hand. Perhaps Xie Yunhe did not realize it because he was in an illusion, but this was very unreasonable.

"That's not surprising. The illusion isn't constructed to cover every detail. Believe it or not, at least half of the books in this library are blank. Aside from the books related to the core of the illusion, the rest are likely constructed from the memories of those who entered."

Master Jingyuan explained to Xuanzhen beside him.

If Xuanzhen encounters such an illusion one day, I hope he can accumulate relevant knowledge.

"Can it detect people's memories? Is this illusion really that powerful?"

Xuanzhen looked at the people in the light curtain and pursed his lips.

The feelings in my heart are complicated and unclear.

He lost to Xie Yunhe by a small margin, but he thought it didn't matter to him.

There are winners and losers in a fight, but when he saw the ten winners, he felt a little disappointed.

I am somewhat concerned that among these ten people there is not a single disciple of the Wanfo Sect.

Xuanzhen felt that if there was a next time, he would definitely not lose.

Master Jingyuan did not feel the complicated feelings of his sect's disciples and simply discussed the matter at hand.

"So this is a relatively rare high-level illusion. Illusions that can affect a cultivator's memory are extremely rare. Generally, many cultivators will never encounter one in their entire lives. You don't need to worry too much. However... this illusion is a bit strange."

After all, Master Jingyuan is knowledgeable and experienced, and he knows more.

"This kind of memory-related illusion might, in order to trap the entrant to the greatest extent possible, include things within the illusion that will make them reluctant to leave. In other words, it might allow you to realize your deepest dreams within the illusion."

"Do you remember that there was a high-level illusion like this? What happened at that time shocked the world of immortal cultivation for a long time."

Master Jingyuan spoke to the other venerables in the small palace.

Venerable Linghua knew that she had spoken.

"I know. I heard from my master that it was a high-level illusion that appeared about seven hundred years ago and once buried a Venerable in the Spiritual Transformation Stage."

"That venerable in the Spiritual Transformation Stage entered the realm physically, but his memory was wiped out within the illusion. He reunited with his deceased wife. Perhaps because he had lost his memory, or perhaps because he knew it but allowed himself to be immersed in it, the venerable refused to wake up from the illusion. He stayed with his wife for a hundred years, and then died of old age alongside her in his mortal body."

Venerable Ling Hua sighed, his tone filled with a mixture of regret and admiration.

"If someone who entered the illusion with their true body remembered their identity as a cultivator before dying, they still had a chance of survival. But that venerable person simply didn't want to remember, and thus died."

From then on, the more powerful a person is in the world of immortal cultivation, the more he or she will avoid finding a Taoist partner.

Who knows if he will become the next lover?

The deceased venerable one usually didn't show such deep affection.

According to people familiar with the matter, since his Taoist partner passed away, he has been practicing when he should practice and fighting when he should fight.

Until he lost his memory in the illusion, perhaps it was because the things that were suppressed in his heart were turned over, perhaps it was because he was deeply in love without knowing it, or perhaps it was because of the regrets and remorse accumulated over time, he loved to death in the illusion.

Who would have thought that it was just a high-level illusion, not that dangerous at all, and the background of the illusion was a mortal town, but the monk died just like that, which is really sad.

It's really not worth it to risk your life while talking about a Taoist partner.

This incident had a very bad impact. For a time, the number of single people in the world of immortal cultivation suddenly soared.

But now few people mention this matter, after all, many years have passed.

"So, I don't think this illusion is as realistic as that one, but it should be similar. In other words, this identity arrangement should also be related to their own wishes."

"In order to trap the entrants as much as possible, this illusion must contain something they care about or desire. Venerable Linghua, you should know more about this."

Master Jingyuan asked Venerable Linghua.

Venerable Linghua nodded.

Indeed, this is what most of the music practice in the Miaoyin school is about.

For example, Su Xiaorou can use the pipa to create the scene of thousands of troops, which is actually an application of illusion.

Of course, killing or trapping the enemy does not necessarily require such intense and high-pitched music.

There are also music majors who specialize in soft and elegant instruments, gently bringing people into an ideal world and then killing them gently.

What is exploited is human desire.

Even monks are not immune to this. Everyone has things they want.

Even Venerable Youyue cannot say that she has nothing to pursue. For example, if a few high-level sword manuals are placed in front of her, she will be more or less tempted.

"According to this reasoning, the identities within the illusion are completely tailored to their own desires, and there's nothing unreasonable about the settings."

Master Jingyuan concluded meaningfully.

As soon as these words were spoken, the other venerables around looked over.

Just as Venerable Ling Hua was about to retort, he caught a glimpse of Wen Zhizhi in the illusion.

In addition to occasionally playing the guqin, she is also obsessed with writing storybooks.

Anyone with eyes could see how happy she was.

Venerable Linghua opened his mouth, but finally chose to close it.

That monk has some ideas, and what he said might indeed be true.

She needs to observe further.

Venerable Linghua also began to reflect on himself, wondering if he was only concerned with disciplining his disciple's etiquette and not caring about her inner world.

Otherwise, how could her wish be like this?

But looking at Wen Zhizhi, who was brimming with joy in the light curtain, Venerable Linghua sighed.

She took out a whistle and blew it.

After a while, a thousand-mile bird flew over.

Venerable Ling Hua threw a spirit crystal over, and the Qianli Bird glided quickly and diligently caught the spirit crystal in its mouth.

"How can I help you?"

The chili bird nimbly struck a beautiful pose on the table.

Elegant and polite.

All I can say is that this Thousand-Mile Bird, which is specially designed to serve the Venerables in the Spirit Transformation Stage, is different.

At least it was different from the one Xie Yunhe had seen before.

Venerable Linghua: "Give me a copy of all of Mr. Qianzhi's works."

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir. I'll be back soon."

The chickadee bent its waist gracefully, then took off gracefully and disappeared into the sky.

In addition to selling newspapers, Qianli Pavilion also provides errand services for high-end users, such as monks with relatively high cultivation levels.

For a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage like Venerable Ling Hua, the Thousand-Li Bird is still very useful. For a little money, he can run errands or deliver things, which is very cost-effective.

There were other people who heard Master Jingyuan’s words.

For example, Elder Ji did not believe this statement and scoffed at it.

Could it be that Ji Mingzhou’s wish is to be someone’s housekeeper?

What a bizarre inference!

Also affected was Venerable Youyue.

Venerable Youyue did not speak. She looked at the light curtain and fell into deep thought.

If that inference is true, how do we explain Xie Yunhe's situation?

He wants to... be Qin Yu's Taoist partner?

……

Xie Yunhe still didn't know what strange associations his master had outside the secret realm.

If he knew and recovered his memory, he would definitely cry out for justice.

He wants Qin Yu to find his sweetheart and successfully complete his assist mission, but that doesn't mean he wants to sacrifice himself.

It’s all the illusion’s fault!

At this time, he had just come out of the library.

Walking on the road from Qin Mansion to the outer courtyard.

Ever since he found some strange books in the library, Xie Yunhe gave up looking for clues in them.

He had never seen any of the ancient medical books that Senior Brother Chu mentioned.

All I saw were strange books like "The Legend of Little Peach Red", "One Hundred Rituals of Sacrifice", and "Ancient Legends of XX Continent".

Not only is the content strange, but there are also always traces of ink smudges.

It is impossible to see the contents inside.

It was almost noon, and Xie Yunhe wanted to go to the outer courtyard of the Qin Mansion first.

If Chen Qixing were here, he would like to discuss the strangeness of the Qin Mansion with him.

While thinking this, Xie Yunhe came to the outer courtyard of the Qin Mansion.

Compared with the magnificent and profound inner courtyard, the outer courtyard of the Qin Mansion seems much more worldly.

Tomorrow is the day when the martial arts conference begins.

Many people came to the Qin Mansion today.

No wonder Xie Yunhe felt that there were fewer people when he walked in the inner courtyard before. It turned out that most of the servants and maids came to the outer courtyard.

We welcome all kinds of people from far away.

There are people from the underworld wearing all kinds of strange clothes and carrying all kinds of weapons.

Many people are asked to put away their sharp weapons when they first enter the Qin Mansion.

Or give it to the servants and maids and ask them to help deliver it to the corresponding room.

Anyway, these people are not allowed to carry weapons when they are in the Qin Mansion.

There is a large lobby in the outer courtyard.

Xie Yunhe thought about it and decided to go to the front hall to take a look.

The front hall was originally used to entertain guests and is spacious.

In order to provide a place for this group of people from the underworld to stay and chat, it was urgently renovated and filled with tables and chairs.

In addition, someone asked the servants and maids to bring some food.

The front hall has become a dining room.

It's very lively with people coming and going.

"It's another martial arts conference this year, and I've already participated in two."

"Brother, you're amazing. Who do you think will be the leader of the martial arts world this year?"

"Of course, Alliance Leader Qin is in his prime, so he should be the winner of the martial arts conference."

"That's possible. This year, many masters from different places will come here, but it doesn't necessarily mean that Alliance Leader Qin will continue to serve as the leader of the martial arts world."

The people from the underworld sat on their chairs, eating fruits and chatting about gossip.

The most talked about topic is who might be the leader of the martial arts world.

This is not surprising. Those gathered here are all people of some status and are here to participate in or watch the ceremony.

This is the hottest topic right now. Who else should we talk about?

"Hey, hey, hey, have you heard about the rumor about Alliance Leader Qin's son Qin Yu and Young Master Yun He..."

"I've seen Mr. Qianzhi's masterpiece. Mr. Qin is truly despicable."

"Shh, keep your voice down, this is the Qin family's territory."

Xie Yunhe walked past this group of gossipy people with an expressionless face.

Walk towards a table in the hall.

He just discovered that there was someone familiar here.

They were a young man in green and a young girl in red.

The two sat opposite each other on either side of the table, but the atmosphere around them was surprisingly quiet.

There are always people stealing glances at the two people at this table.

Especially look at the young man in green clothes with eye disease.

My God, it feels like they have a different style from us.

This is the feeling of a person who is relatively close to the situation.

Perhaps it was this strange sense of alienation.

No one dared to approach the table where the two of them were sitting.

Even if someone sees there are empty seats here, they will choose to go around and sit at other tables.

Even a vacuum circle was formed.

Therefore, Xie Yunhe saw these two people as soon as he stepped into the front hall.

One is my childhood sweetheart, and the other is my current partner.

It was only right that he should go up and say hello to the two of them.

It just so happened that Xie Yunhe also wanted to talk to Chen Qixing about other clues from that year, and to talk to Ling Jiaojiao about how to sneak into the study.

As he approached the table, both of their eyes fell on him.

Chen Qixing and Ling Jiaojiao both looked towards Xie Yunhe at the same time.

Ling Jiaojiao was the one who noticed Xie Yunhe as soon as he approached, and was looking at him with some surprise.

Chen Qixing had sharp hearing and recognized Xie Yunhe's footsteps. He looked towards the source of the sound and found that it was indeed Xie Yunhe. He subconsciously smiled.
