Chapter 228 Restricted Area

After hearing this, Fang Zhixing's first reaction was to look at Xigou's system panel.

[Remaining Life Count: 10]

"Xigou, I want to ask you three questions."

Fang Zhixing paused for a moment and raised three fingers.

"First, can you and I have the same dream?"

"Second, if you die once in a dream, will the system also count it as a loss of one life?"

"Third, look at my system panel, conditions 5 and 6 have been completed, and that happened in my 'dream'."

"Ah this???"

Xigou looked up, his face full of black question marks, completely unable to explain.

If that is a 'dream', how can having a dream be considered completing a task?

What's the difference between this and making something out of nothing and making it up out of thin air?

Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, and suddenly remembered something, turned back to the house, and hurried to a room.

There was a creaking sound.

Fang Zhixing pushed the door open directly, looked around the room, and his brows twisted into a knot.

Wang Jiayun was not in the house.

Moreover, the house was cleaned up very well, and no items were left behind.

Xigou followed and transmitted a message: "Wang Jiayun is gone, and the carriage is gone too."

Fang Zhixing immediately ordered: "Didn't you awaken a new blood burst skill? Try it."

Xigou was immediately shocked. Yes, when Fang Zhixing was promoted to the Nine Ox Realm, he awakened a very powerful skill.

"The sky and the earth are boundless, and the pursuit is a hundred miles!"

Xigou shook his body, slowly closed his eyes, and the unique smell of Wang Jiayun emerged in his mind, and then he took a deep breath.

In an instant, countless breaths came from all directions and drilled into Xigou's nostrils.

After a moment, Xigou opened his eyes and said with certainty: "Wang Jiayun is not within a hundred miles."

Fang Zhixing's face sank, and he hurried back to the room to check his things.

The bag was still there, and nothing was missing.

But the two boxes of treasures that Wang Jiayun gave were gone.

Xigou recalled carefully: "In the dream, you left the two boxes of treasures in the guest room of 'Cuizhu Pavilion'."

Fang Zhixing nodded, sat down slowly, and counted the gold notes and change on his body.

Soon, he came to a conclusion: "The money is missing, and the missing amount is exactly the money I spent in the county town."

Xigou blinked, completely confused, wondering: "What is going on? Is everything we experience in the dream real?

If that is true, then what are we experiencing now?"

Fang Zhixing replied: "People may dream and have hallucinations, but do you think the system will be like that?"

Xigou said in horror: "What do you mean, isn't that a dream? I clearly saw you lying on the bed dreaming?"

Fang Zhixing pointed to the sky and asked: "The moment you wake up here and the moment you come back to life should be the same time, right?"

Xigou thought for a while and nodded: "It really is."

Fang Zhixing said: "Me too. The only thing we can be sure of right now is that the time in the dream is the same as the time in reality. The time is the same.

However, the evil monk mentioned "three years". He thought that I first met him three years ago. "

"What, three years ago? !"

Xigou choked and thought quickly: "Let's say, is it possible that the evil monk who broke the precepts recognized the wrong person?"

Fang Zhixing shook his head and said: "From Sui Jiefu's tone, the identity of the evil monk who broke the precepts is quite extraordinary. He may have mastered some kind of unique skills and can recognize me at a glance. No, it should be that after I looked at him, he suddenly recognized me."

Xigou couldn't imagine it and guessed: "Well, he may remember your eyes. When you get ruthless, your eyes are really scary."

Fang Zhixing took a deep breath and frowned: "Never mind, let's leave here first."

Xigou couldn't wait any longer and said: "Yes, it's too damn weird, let's go."

One person and one dog walked out of the house and turned to run towards the south gate.

The two of them looked at the road under their feet and the dilapidated south gate. The more they looked, the more they felt something was wrong.

Xigou suddenly shouted: "We walked this road once yesterday morning, right?"

Fang Zhixing nodded and said: "Yes, I have a very deep impression of it. I must have walked it once, unless our memory is wrong."

Xigou couldn't help but panic, speeded up, and rushed out of the South Gate first.

Run out!

He suddenly braked, raised his head and looked around, and was completely dumbfounded.

The scene that came into view was not the official road outside the South Gate, but the horse racing street in the city.

Fang Zhixing's footsteps suddenly stopped, and his eyes couldn't help but dilate.

At this time, he was standing on the horse racing street.

The street was empty, without a ghost, only the strong wind rolled up the fallen leaves and spun by itself.

Fang Zhixing turned around suddenly, and then saw a city gate behind him.

This situation was just like when he entered Yulan County the day before yesterday.

The dog suddenly called out, "Fang Zhixing, this is still the South Gate!"

Fang Zhixing also realized that they left the county from the South Gate, but ended up entering the city from the South Gate.

Fang Zhixing tiptoed, rose from the ground, and landed on the city tower.

He first looked into the city, and saw a thin fog in the city.

The gray fog lingered, like a ghost, wandering between every street and building.

What a scene!

Fang Zhixing couldn't help thinking of the restricted areas he had been to.

Then, he turned his head again, and immediately saw a road outside the city gate that stretched into the distance, as well as trees on both sides of the road.

The scenery looked familiar, and it was clearly what he had seen yesterday.

Fang Zhixing did not hesitate, and jumped to the road, landing on the ground with both feet.

Swish!

Suddenly, Fang Zhixing's eyes blurred.

At the moment his feet touched the ground, the road suddenly turned into a horse racing street.

Xigou was standing beside him.

Fang Zhixing was shocked, and asked quickly: "Xigou, did you see me jumping out of the city?"

Xigou shook his head and said: "No, you jumped into the city."

Fang Zhixing's breathing was completely stagnant.

Xigou realized the seriousness of the problem instantly and said in horror: "Is this a ghost wall?!"

Fang Zhixing hesitated for a moment and ordered: "Xigou, run outside the city and show me."

"Okay!"

Xigou ran away.

Fang Zhixing watched Xigou rush to the outside of the city gate.

After a blink of an eye, he rushed out again at the same speed and returned to Fang Zhixing.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing immediately opened his blood-red eyes and squatted in front of the city gate.

Without any instructions, Xigou ran again.

He rushed into the city gate, flashed, and came out of the city gate directly.

This in and out was extremely smooth, as if the South Gate was a portal.

Xigou stopped and asked, "How is it, did you see anything?"

Fang Zhixing shook his head and described, "You sprinted forward in a straight line, and the moment you crossed the city gate, you suddenly turned 180 degrees and ran back."

Xigou was shocked and said, "What is this, some kind of time and space confusion?"

Fang Zhixing stood up and pondered, "Let's go to the north gate and try."

The two of them ran, passing through the streets filled with gray fog, and walked all the way forward.

A moment later, Fang Zhixing arrived at the north gate and ran straight out.

The next second, as expected!

He was back in the city.

"It's over, we're trapped!"

Xigou was furious and shouted, "This is an empty city, there are no people, no food, we will starve to death sooner or later."

"Don't panic."

Fang Zhixing did not lose his composure, he made a judgment, "If I'm not wrong, we are now in a restricted area."

"Restricted area?!"

Xigou looked around the dead and empty city, "Are you saying that Yulan County is a restricted area?"

Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "Condition 5, the system shows that it has been completed, which means that I really witnessed the birth of the restricted area, so where is the restricted area?"

Xigou took a closer look at Fang Zhixing's system panel and suddenly realized, "It turns out that everything is the work of the restricted area, but we have been to many restricted areas, and none of them is so weird and unpredictable?"

Fang Zhixing replied, "No, this is a newly born restricted area, and we have never entered this kind of restricted area."

Xigou thought about it and analyzed, "Maybe the newly born restricted area is like this, just like a small universe explosion, triggering Time and space are in chaos, and all kinds of messed up things are likely to happen. "

Fang Zhixing pondered for a moment, and said, "We can't leave the restricted area right now, but there is a way, maybe we can try it."

Xigou immediately perked up and asked, "What is it?"

Fang Zhixing said, "Dream again."

Xigou uttered an ah, opened his mouth, took a deep breath and said, "Everything that happened in the dream is hard to tell whether it is true or false, it's a bit too weird..."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Zhixing interrupted and said, "What I mean is, leaving the restricted area The method may be in the dream. "

Xigou was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "How did you come to this conclusion?"

Fang Zhixing replied: "Think about it, how did Wang Jiayun and the carriage leave the restricted area?"

Xigou's mind was opened up when he heard this, and he said excitedly: "Yes, we can dream, and in the dream, go to Wang Jiayun to ask."

Fang Zhixing said: "This time you dream first, I will observe."

Xigou was naturally a little unhappy, but he still had 10 lives, so it was okay to take a risk.

At worst, he would die again.

One person and one dog returned to the house.

Xigou lay on the bed and tried to make himself fall asleep.

But he was too excited, the more he wanted to sleep, the more he couldn't sleep.

Fang Zhixing sat calmly, giving people a feeling of calmness in every major event.

Time passed little by little...

Xigou yawned, and his consciousness gradually fell into chaos.

Fang Zhixing suddenly opened his eyes and his eyes fell on Xigou.

The dog's eyelids were blinking rapidly, and its four legs were pawing back and forth, as if it was running in a dream.

"Ouch, bitch, let me go!"

The dog suddenly roared, with a trace of anger on his face and his teeth bared.

"Bitch, I'm hungry, give me something to eat quickly."

After a while, the dog barked again.

This time, a little bit of flattery appeared on his dog's face.

"Yes, yes, just scratch there, scratch me again."

The dog suddenly turned over, raised his right legs, and had an expression of enjoyment on his face, with his tongue sticking out.

It seemed that someone was tickling him.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing couldn't help but bow his head and think.

After a moment, he decided to wake up the dog.

But!

Fang Zhixing raised his head and stood up suddenly.

The bed was empty.

The dog disappeared!

Fang Zhixing was shocked and called out in a hurry: "The dog, the dog..."

He called out several times, but there was no response.

Fang Zhixing touched the bed sheet, which was still warm.

"Well, it seems that I am right. The way to leave this newly born restricted area is to dream."

Fang Zhixing didn't know what the dog had experienced, but the dog had found a way to leave.

"Okay, I'll try it too."

Fang Zhixing lay on the bed, took a few deep breaths, and gradually calmed down.

I don't know how long it had been...

He suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, yawned, and sat up from the bed.

Fang Zhixing then found that he was still in the room, with the setting sun outside the window.

"Huh, failed? Or am I dreaming now?"

Fang Zhixing couldn't be sure, he pushed the door and walked out of the house.

It was still dead silent outside.

In the evening, the gray fog in the city became more and more erratic.

Fang Zhixing looked around, turned and walked towards the south gate, then stepped out.

Whoosh~

Fang Zhixing stepped out of the city gate and landed on the official road.

He immediately looked up and was overjoyed.

"Ha, I'm out!"

Fang Zhixing really came out of Yulan County.

He looked back and saw a chaos inside the city gate, like a gray vortex that was devouring people, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"It's really a restricted area..."

Fang Zhixing no longer hesitated, ran away, and rushed towards the county city.

It was late at night, just after midnight.

Fang Zhixing arrived outside the county city and looked up.

What surprised him was that the refugees gathered in front of the city gate had all disappeared.

And the city gate was open.

Usually, only when there is no war will people leave their doors unlocked at night.

Fang Zhixing walked into the city with a swagger and was not questioned.

He walked through the streets and alleys and came to Cuizhu Pavilion again.

"Welcome, sir..."

The waiter came out warmly.

Fang Zhixing looked carefully and found that he knew this waiter, the one who received him last time.

But this waiter was much older, with a beard on his face and a fatter figure.

Fang Zhixing couldn't help asking, "Do you still remember me?"

The waiter looked at Fang Zhixing carefully, spread his hands and smiled bitterly, "Sir, I'm sorry, there are too many guests coming and going in Cuizhu Pavilion. If you are not a familiar customer, I really can't remember it with my stupid head."

Fang Zhixing asked, "Who is living in Room No. 1 and No. 2 now?"

The waiter replied, "It's empty. No guests are staying today."

Fang Zhixing understood and immediately turned around and left Cuizhu Pavilion. Following the route in his memory, he quickly ran to the Blood Axe Gang.

Not long after, Fang Zhixing arrived at the gate of the Blood Axe Gang. He looked up and his pupils shrank.

There were fallen leaves in front of the gate.

The dilapidated gate was locked with an iron chain.

The plaque on the gate tilted down, and the three big characters "Blood Axe Gang" were broken in the middle.

Fang Zhixing looked around and saw a stall selling midnight snacks on the roadside.

He immediately walked over and asked the stall owner: "Boss, where are the people from the Blood Axe Gang?"

The boss glanced over there and smiled: "The Blood Axe Gang was wiped out four years ago. What was the name of the gang leader..."

Fang Zhixing reminded: "Xue Bohua."

"Oh, right!"

The stall owner remembered and sighed: "That Xue Bohua was killed. He died so tragically. I heard that he was cut into pieces by his enemies."

Fang Zhixing's Adam's apple moved and asked a question, what year is this year.

The stall owner was stunned for a moment, but he quickly gave an answer.

At this moment, Fang Zhixing was struck by lightning and froze in place.

Soon, he came to the south gate of the county city.

In the morning, he created a great chaos here.

He, the evil monk who broke his precepts, Luo Lifu, and Sui Jiefu, four people, caused chaos here, causing more than a thousand deaths and injuries, and countless damage to the city gate and nearby buildings.

But at this moment, Fang Zhixing looked around and saw that all the surrounding buildings were in good condition, and the city gate was also intact.

He walked to the city gate and took a closer look.

But he found that the city gate had obvious signs of repair.

Fang Zhixing walked to a tavern not far away and found a seat to sit down.

The owner of the store was a woman in her forties. She came over with a smile and greeted him: "Sir, what would you like to drink?"

Fang Zhixing ordered a few dishes and then asked: "Boss lady, do you remember that there was a big battle at the South Gate before, and many people died?"

The boss lady exclaimed: "I remember, of course I remember, I was almost killed by a flying stone that day, how could I forget it?"

Fang Zhixing asked: "That was a few years ago."

The boss lady counted on her fingers and replied: "It's been seven years."

Fang Zhixing took a breath of cold air, and the expression on his face quickly became ugly.

After eating and drinking, Fang Zhixing walked out of the tavern and looked up at the distant starry sky. For a moment, he was at a loss.

"If all this is true, then ten years have passed since I first arrived in the county city!"

Fang Zhixing shuddered. Ten years for others was just one night for him.

"What should I do now?"

Fang Zhixing pondered as he walked down the street.

Soon, he suddenly heard a noise.

Turning around, I saw a long street with red and green lanterns hanging on it.

Fang Zhixing turned into the long street and soon found out that the most famous entertainment place in the county was called "Qunfang Pavilion" and the most famous girl was the oiran Mengdie.

"Well, I'm a little too nervous and need to relax."

Only then did Zhixing arrive at Qunfang Pavilion in a leisurely manner.

"Hero, please come in."

The madam greeted him enthusiastically. One look at Fang Zhixing's dress and knew that he was a martial arts practitioner.

Fang Zhixing was in a bad mood and asked directly: "Are Mengdie free?"

The madam's eyes lit up and she continued: "I am free when I am free, but my daughter..."

Fang Zhixing took out a few gold tickets and handed them over.

The madam hurriedly took the money, counted it, laughed so hard, and said happily: "Oh, sir, you are so generous, please come upstairs!"

Not long after, Fang Zhixing walked into a box and soon saw Mengdie.

She is a slender young woman, 1.8 meters tall, with long legs as white as porcelain, like a model.

Fang Zhixing's first impression was very good, a bit surprising.

Mengdie is not the kind of woman who is as passionate as fire. She is like a cold plum with proud snow, her face has a sense of coldness, and her eyes are faint, as if containing endless frost.

Wearing a white gauze dress, she bowed to Fang Zhixing, her hair flying, and her body was as cold as snow.

"very good!"

Fang Zhixing praised him heartily.

Mengdie said with a cold expression: "My hero, I haven't served you yet, so you think it's okay?"

Fang Zhixing smiled and said: "I am very upset right now and I need someone to calm me down. You are very suitable for me."

Mengdie suddenly realized that before she could speak, Zhixing had already walked up, picked her up arrogantly, and threw her on the bed.

The night passed quickly...

It was getting brighter, but the room was still shaking.

"Hero, please take a break."

Mengdie gasped, finally unable to bear it any longer.

Fang Zhixing did not embarrass her and ordered the troops to retreat.

He lay down, slowly closed his eyes, and rested for a while.

Suddenly!

A ray of sunshine shone on Fang Zhixing's face.

Fang Zhixing was startled at first, then frowned.

"No, this bed is located on the west side of the window, and the early morning sunlight shouldn't reach here."

Fang Zhixing shuddered, opened his eyes suddenly, and then fell silent.

At this time, he was lying in a private house in Yulan County, with no Mengdie around him.

"Have you woken up from the dream? I'm back again..."

Fang Zhixing sighed softly and sat up.

Suddenly, he looked at his legs.

I saw a piece of clothing wrapped around my thigh, which was Mengdie's white gauze garment.

"I brought the things in my dreams into reality..."

Fang Zhixing's expression changed and he quickly checked his luggage.

Fortunately, the luggage came back with me and nothing was lost.

He quickly calmed down and analyzed and summarized the existing intelligence.

"First, there was a seven-year gap between the two dreams."

"Secondly, the dream is most likely reality. I just entered the real world through dreaming."

Fang Zhixing's thoughts were running through his mind, and he could almost conclude that the newly born restricted area was affecting time, space, and himself in some indescribable way!

Thinking of this, Zhixing lay down again, closed his eyes, and took a deep sleep.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes.

The person is still in the room of the house.

“After falling into a dream, this is the starting point.

When you wake up from the dream, this is also the place where you return. "

Fang Zhixing quickly came up with a plan in his mind, and quickly left Yulan County and rushed to the county seat in the face of the sunrise and morning glow.

At this time, it was already the third time for him to rush to the county town, and he was familiar with the roads along the way.

In less than half a day, he arrived at the county town.

Fang Zhixing quickly rushed to the wine shop and saw the proprietress again.

"Hey, guest, it's you again!" The landlady didn't change at all and recognized Fang Zhixing at a glance.

"Do you still remember me?" Fang Zhixing felt happy, feeling that not too much time had passed since he came back this time.

The landlady smiled and said: "Of course I remember, you came to my place for a drink three days ago."

"Three days ago..."

Fang Zhixing took a deep breath and felt that the time chaos in the restricted area was weakening and everything was stabilizing.
