Chapter 454: Both Illusion and Reality

"Luo Die? Luo Die?"

Xiao Chen walked deep in the thick fog. Luo Die was still beside him just now, but in the blink of an eye he had disappeared. He shouted several times in succession, but there was no response from the other party.

"It's an illusion..."

At this moment, he realized something. Although this illusion was an illusion, it was like a real world. If he died in it, he would really die.

For some reason, a shallow fear gradually spread from his heart to his whole body.

I don't know how long I walked along the way. The thick fog never cleared, and the front seemed to be endless. Xiao Chen concentrated his consciousness and walked forward. For some reason, he felt more and more familiar. ♦

Finally, the thick fog in front gradually dispersed, and what came into view was the once extremely familiar scene.

Xiao Chen's heart trembled, and he just stood there blankly, looking at the flickering candle in the room, at the few white hairs sprouting on both sides of his mother's temples, and at the young man's hair. I just had a fight with Zhao Wangsun...

"Fighted again."

"No, I accidentally fell into a ditch while chasing a wild boar."

"Eat. Tomorrow I will go to the town to deliver some work. You get up early and deliver a piece of cloth to Uncle Shen in Nancun."

"Oh, you're so good, but you don't have anything to do, so why are you sending me something all of a sudden?"

"Xiaojing and you are about the same age. I won't make any fuss about it. Will you two get married in three or two years?"

"Pfft! Mom, I'm still a child. Isn't it too early?"

"It's still early. How older are the two cows next door than you? They are all married now, how about you? You spend your days either running up and down the mountain or fighting with others. If you continue like this, which girl will like you in the future? I will tell you these later If you use your annual savings to build a house in the city, you can marry someone in style."

"I dont go."

"Why don't you go!"

"If you don't go, you won't go. I won't get married."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I want to cultivate immortality! When I learn the Xuanqing Sect's spells, I will beat Zhao Wangsun so hard that he will be unable to get up!"

…

"Aunt..."

The cold wind blew by, and Xiao Chen's eyes were already a little moist. Looking at the familiar scene in the hut, he stretched out his hand, but there was only an afterimage...

No matter how cold-tempered and ruthless he has become over the years, this is the only place that makes him feel warm and the only heart that will not be stained by turmoil.

However, at this moment, his heart was empty.

Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes, unwilling to look again. He knew that this place was the illusion of his inner demon. If he lingered on what was before him, he would never be able to get out.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a hint of blood in the cold wind, which made him tremble all over. No, no, although this is an illusion, everything is real, no... no!

"Aniang!"

Xiao Chen seemed to wake up suddenly and opened his eyes with force. However, the scene in front of him was corpses all over the ground and collapsed houses...

"No...no! No! Grandma...grandma!"

At this moment, Xiao Chen's heart felt as if someone had stabbed him hard. This time he watched helplessly. Is it still too late? Is it still too late...

"who!"

Suddenly, a figure flashed from a distance, Xiao Chen's aura was firm, and he chased after him in an instant. The night was endless, and the man climbed over the mountains and ridges, as if walking on flat ground, and his speed was really fast reaching the limit.

Xiao Chen's heartbeat gradually increased, his eyes widened, and he increased his speed to the limit in an instant. Just when he was about to catch up with the man, a strong wind suddenly blew, as if tearing him apart.

"Don't even think about leaving!"

Xiao Chen was not afraid of the force of the strong wind, and activated the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Mysterious Techniques in an instant. Regardless of everything, he also activated the fragments of the Heavenly Book, and controlled life and death in an instant. At this moment, his cultivation level had almost reached He reached an unprecedented peak and grabbed the person in front of him.

However, the man in front just turned his wrist slightly, and hit him with a finger force. With a "bang", he actually vomited blood and flew backwards.

"No...I want to see who you are, I want to see who you really are!"

Xiao Chen's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes. He seemed to be going crazy at this moment. He desperately activated his true energy again, even at the cost of losing his life force. In an instant, he unfolded Shunbu Qiankun and chased after him, grabbing the man with all his strength. With a "chi" sound, he just pulled off a piece of the man's clothes.

However, at this moment, he felt a heartbreaking pain. What kind of endless pain was this? It was as cold and desperate as falling into an abyss.

"Master..."

Xiao Chen stared blankly at the person in front of him, why was he the master? Why does Master have demonic energy on his body? The master is the world-famous Lord Yaoguang, and the Fairy Miaoyin who is respected by people all over the world. Why...why does she have such a heavy demonic energy at this moment!

"Chen'er..."

"No...no! You are not the master, you are not the master, it is your inner demon! Ah!"

Xiao Chen's eyes were about to burst, and suddenly there was a dagger with cold light in his hand, and he stabbed the person in front of him. With a "chi" sound, blood spattered everywhere, and the dagger pierced the abdomen of the person in front of him.

"Uh... Chen'er..."

"Master... I killed the master. Why, isn't the master the most important person? Why would I kill the master... No, no!"

Xiao Chen raised his hands and looked at his blood-stained hands. They were exactly the same as in the dream. In that terrible dream when he was a child, it turned out that his hands were stained with blood. He had killed his master with his own hands!

"Master... No, no!"

...

"Brother? Brother? Are you having a nightmare again?"

The scene in front of him gradually blurred, and then slowly became clear. Xiao Chen opened his eyes. What he saw was no longer the spooky mountain, but an exquisite house. The person standing in front of him was his sister whom he had not seen for a long time. She was still the same as she was when she was sixteen years old, wearing a feathery dress, like a fairy who was not in touch with the world.

"Sister? Is this... Zixiao Peak?"

Xiao Chen sat up from the bed. What happened? Why did he return to Zixiao Peak? Everything in front of him was real, it couldn't be fake, why... Could it be that he had a very long nightmare?

"Brother? What's wrong with you?"

Nichang came to him, waved her hand in front of his eyes, frowned and whispered to herself, "It seems that your injury has not fully recovered. Two years ago, on the top of Qiongshan in Dongjie, you and Uncle Lingyin were plotted against by the demons. Those demons were so despicable..."

"Two years ago, on the top of Qiongshan..."

Xiao Chen rubbed his forehead. He remembered that day when he and his master were trapped on the top of Qiongshan. Xie Tianluo, Yucha Xuanji and others wanted an ancient book of Xuanqing Sect...

"Hehe, you look silly, you must not remember anything, right?" Nichang smiled and looked at him.

"What?"

Xiao Chen looked at her. He felt a little dizzy at the moment, as if he really couldn't remember some things.

"Hmph! I knew you definitely don't remember!"

Nichang pouted and looked at him, with a look of resentment in her eyes. Seeing that he was still stupid and couldn't remember, she said angrily, "Think about it again, what did you ask me yesterday?"

"I..."

Xiao Chen scratched his head, still couldn't remember, why was his memory so vague?

Nichang bit her lips, glanced at him gently, lowered her head, and her face seemed to be flying with two sunset clouds. She whispered, "You asked me, asked me if I like you, don't you remember so quickly..."

"Ah! I remember..."

"You... Humph!"

Nichang raised her head, glared at him lightly, and tilted her head again, as if she was angry. Xiao Chen scratched his head and smiled foolishly, "Then Junior Sister... do you like me?"

"You..."

Nichang blushed even more, lowered her head and didn't say anything. Finally, after a long period of embarrassment, she raised her head, leaned forward gently, and closed her eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Chen felt like he was electrocuted, feeling the sweet breath of his junior sister, as if he was about to melt. Finally, the tip of his tongue touched a hint of sweetness, and the two of them trembled all over and separated at lightning speed.

"Senior brother is annoying!"

Nichang blushed and ran out of the door like a fly. Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, and quickly got up and chased out. When he went outside, he saw fallen petals flying in the air, like a dream...

Xiao Chen took a deep breath. It turned out that this world was so beautiful, but why...why did he feel a little empty in his heart, as if he had lost something?

"Brother! You are in a daze again..."

"Ah? I... didn't."

Xiao Chen smiled gently, took her hand, and came to a cliff. Looking at the petals flying in the air, Nichang suddenly smiled and said, "Winter is coming soon, and it will snow again on Zixiao Peak..."

"Yeah..."

Looking at the petals flying in front of him, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Most flowers in the world have five petals, but snowflakes have six petals, so snowflakes have another name, called... called... uh!"

"Brother! What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay... I don't know why, but my head suddenly hurts a little."

Xiao Chen rubbed his forehead, Weiyang... Why are these two words so familiar? Why... Weiyang... Weiyang!

At this moment, he finally remembered everything. This is the illusion of the Twelve Fingers Heart Demon! Although this world is not fake, it is not his original world! His original world, he can't go back at all! He can't go back!

"Brother! Where are you going!"

"Weiyang, wait for me, wait for me, I will definitely come back to save you!"

"Brother! Don't go! The front is the Burial Cliff, it's so dangerous there, come back soon!"

"Weiyang...wait for me!"

When Xiao Chen arrived in front of the Burial Cliff, he closed his eyes and jumped down the bottomless cliff. Nichang flew over in an instant, looking at the cliff where he had disappeared, and tears gradually gathered in her eyes. "Why...why are you obviously back, why can everything start over again, but you still can't forget that witch..."

...

The surrounding scene suddenly became clear, the thick fog dissipated, Xiao Chen left the illusion and returned to the real world.

"Luo Die!"

I saw Luo Die squatting in a bush, trembling all over, as if she was extremely frightened. Xiao Chen walked over quickly, shouted a few times but there was no response, and finally put two fingers together to probe a divine consciousness into her sea of ​​consciousness. After a long time, he finally woke her up.

"Ah!" Luo Die woke up, still trembling as if in a nightmare. After a long time, she slowly calmed down. Xiao Chen frowned and asked, "Where are the others?" "No... I don't know." Luo Die shook her head. At this moment, her whole body was wet with cold sweat, and her delicate body was looming. She was startled and quickly covered her chest with her hands, saying, "Just now, it was a fantasy world of the inner demon. Once you enter it, whatever you are most afraid of in your heart will often appear..."

"The most frightening thing..."

Xiao Chen frowned more and more, recalling the scene in the illusion before. Why did he see his master in Ning Village? Why did his master look like he was possessed by a demon at that time? Why did he kill his master with his own hands...

He trembled all over, and at that moment, it was as if he fell into an icy cold pond. It turned out that the thing he feared most in his heart was not to watch Wei Yang helpless, but to kill his master with his own hands one day...
