Chapter 0849: Star Mountain Illusion

The second crab rose in the illusive human form of a squat old woman.

Yang Qingyin recognized her, "You...are you Granny Mei?"

The old woman nodded, but kept staring at the black jade statue, "Is this really Mu Xingqiu?"

"It's him, how come you..."

"So he also realized the true meaning of the spell."

"What's the truth?"

"The mantra is everything. There is no so-called right or wrong. The five-character mantra can be recited any way. The power lies in one mind. 'The power of one thought can defeat all enemies.' The mantra is the foundation of the illusion of mind. My son has discovered more than just one sentence. A mantra, but a whole set of techniques.”

Granny Mei is not as kind and easy-going as before, nor is she excited. Her tone is very calm, as if she is telling an extremely common truth. As soon as she opens her mouth, everyone can understand it. She no longer holds the idol in her hand, which was once the place of her faith, but has now been replaced by a stronger and more direct force.

Mu Xingqiu was extremely surprised, not only because he saw Granny Mei again, but also because an ordinary mortal could create a set of illusions through spells. However, her illusions were not the same as the illusions of mind. There was no difference between the two. Much in common.

"Hello, Granny Mei." Mu Xingqiu said in the statue. He could not yet condense into a real and illusory body. "I heard that you have turned into a demon."

"I once transformed into a demon. That was the only step I needed to take to understand the true meaning of the spell. After I got the demon pill, I could give full play to the power of the spell. Once I get this power, I can get rid of the demon pill and return to human form. I have to thank you. You, Mu Xingqiu, it was you who said that I memorized the spells in the wrong order, which gave me the opportunity to enter the realm of illusion. I heard that you were trapped in Zhibo State by Taoism. Since you were able to come out, you must have used the power of the spell. "

Mu Xingqiu couldn't answer. He had indeed benefited a lot from the Wuxin Curse. His soul could escape but it had nothing to do with it, so he asked, "Why are you here? Didn't Pang Shan take you away?"

"Haha, how could Pangshan take me away? I'm not a Taoist priest. They let me go with false pretenses. Anyway, the world will be destroyed by demons. I was still a demon at that time, but I didn't want to be a demon. , because my son Mei Chuanan is a human being. I hid for a while and slowly realized the true meaning of the spell. This is all thanks to you. Sometimes I even feel that part of my son’s soul is attached to you, so you are always there. Help me intentionally or unintentionally.”

"What you realized is not an illusion of mind." Mu Xingqiu couldn't think of a more euphemistic way of saying it.

"Haha, you don't need to be nervous. It turns out that your mental illusion is still the strongest. My mental illusion is still very weak, and it's not the same as yours. That's because I realized it alone, and I'm not following the same path as you. Different paths leading to the same destination, we will meet at the end.”

Yang Qingyin put a little magic power into her palm, and Mu Xingqiu understood what she meant. Although Granny Mei had undergone a lot of changes, one thing remained the same. She still had a madness that penetrated deep into her bones. Her so-called illusion may have come from this. , the spell only fueled her crazy thoughts.

"Why did you come back to Xingshan?" Mu Xingqiu changed the topic again, not wanting to argue with Granny Mei.

"I came first. After the illusion began to take shape, other humans and demons arrived later." Granny Mei did not insist on talking about the illusion of mind and heart. She obviously felt that she had convinced Mu Xingqiu, "It is also a strange thing to say. , a woman, very similar to that little girl, somehow found my hiding place and told me that Xingshan is a good place..."

"Which little girl?"

"It's the little girl who went to my house with you to listen to my son's lectures. Her name seems to be Fangfang."

Mu Xingqiu didn't even have a real body, but he felt his heart skip a beat. He couldn't bear to hear someone suddenly mention Fangfang's name. It was like a thread tightly tied to his body. As long as someone pulled it hard unexpectedly, , he will fall involuntarily.

"Her name is the Dragon Demon." Mu Xingqiu said, and quickly came to his senses, "Because you recited the spell. Although your power was not enough to create true illusions, you attracted the Dragon Demon... Why did she let you come to Star Mountain?"

Mu Xingqiu had a vague feeling that his coming to Xingshan was also the result of the dragon demon's promotion.

"She said I would find a more ideal hiding place in Xingshan, so I came here." Granny Mei did not explain why she believed the guidance of a strange woman. To her, it was self-evident.

Only Mu Xingqiu could understand what Granny Mei meant. The dragon demon was very good at persuading others, especially when the spell had taken root in the other person's heart.

"I used the remaining power of Xingshan to create this place a year ago." Grandma Mei pointed to the entire sea area. The calm sea surface suddenly changed, like a mirror turning over in the blink of an eye, revealing a dark brown backside, full of crabs. , countless crabs.

The crab claws swayed, making a horrifying sound.

"We hide our bodies. They are lifeless and do not need care. They will not attract the attention of the demons. Our souls live in the bodies of the Xingshan crabs. After the Xingshan is closed, the demons will no longer be able to attack. Sooner or later, the Taoism will return. We will come back, and after they have a decisive battle with the demons, we will go out and get our bodies back."

Yang Qingyin couldn't help but interjected: "How do you know what's happening outside?"

"We are not in a hurry. We will wait for thousands of years. In my fantasy world, not only is it safe, but there is no death." Granny Mei opened her arms, and the crabs shook their front claws more happily, making a lot of noise.

"The iron dragon sea monster turned into a crab, and you actually said 'it can be saved'?" Yin Buchen was filled with indignation and walked out from behind Lao Chuang, "Didn't you promise in Zhaoshan that you would fight the demons together with the Spirit King?"

Yuan Qijing said "possibly" at that time, but he still bowed slightly to Yang Qingyin, "I apologize, but the survival of the Kraken is more important than my promise."

Yang Qingyin waved her hand to show that she didn't care, and looked down at the black jade statue. She always felt that something was wrong with Granny Mei's illusion, but she couldn't explain why.

"The illusion of Star Mountain cannot stop the demons." Mu Xingqiu said.

Granny Mei said confidently: "That's because the illusion has not been closed yet. You are the last batch of refugees. What a coincidence. Just when you arrived, the illusion of Xingshan began to close. Soon, Xingshan will be closed." No one can be found in the world. Don't you understand? This is the hiding place left by Taoism. They will not be found, and neither will we. The Xingshan Crab, you can choose where to live.”

Yang Qingyin did not waver at all, "First, we will not give up our bodies. Second, we are going to Wangshan to fight instead of staying here to hide. Third, what happened to those corpses floating in the sea before? "

"Giving up the body is temporary. Going to the mountain is to die. Those corpses are those who have reneged. They want to leave when they arrive at Xingshan, but we can't let the secret leak... Don't worry, there are not many renegades, only two or three thousand. They are subject to He will be punished as he deserves, and the body will be left outside to become a line of defense for the Star Mountain Illusion. If the demons really come looking for him, they will only see the body. "

Granny Mei is indeed no longer the ordinary old woman she used to be. When she talked about the deaths of two to three thousand humans and demons, she remained completely calm, as if this was an ordinary thing. The Yuanqi Jing beside her instead lowered his gaze.

"Grandma Mei, I also came here because of the Dragon Demon. The closure of the Star Mountain Illusion Realm is not a coincidence. It is waiting for my arrival. The Dragon Demon has already made arrangements. It is her arrangement that you can create the illusion."

Grandma Mei's own illusion skills were still very weak, and it was impossible to create such a huge illusion. The dragon demon planted the seeds, Grandma Mei was responsible for watering and loosening the soil, and Mu Xingqiu figured out the cause and effect.

"That further proves that you should stay." Granny Mei's phantom smiled, "Long Mo and Fang Fang are both good girls."

"No, her purpose is not to let me stay." Mu Xingqiu gathered some strength, condensed into a real illusion body, slowly broke away from the statue, and stood in front of Granny Mei, "She asked me to come here to break the illusion."

"This doesn't make sense." Grandma Mei smiled, as if she was trying to persuade a stubborn child, "The Dragon Demon led you and me to this place and planted the seeds of the illusion in advance. Why should we break it? Could it be that she is here? Use me?"

"This is the purpose and meaning of the Dragon Demon's existence. For this purpose, she will use anyone, including me. She hopes that I can have the power to break the illusion of Xingshan and one day use it in the real Bamo Cave Prison."

"Is this what she told you, or is it your guess?"

"My guess, but..."

"I heard what the Dragon Demon said with my own ears." Granny Mei pointed to her ear, "Your guess is wrong. Your illusion is stronger, but it cannot break the illusion. You are right. After you arrived, Xingshan begins to close, and the speed is getting faster and faster. No one can leave here. This is not your fault. Forget Wangshan and wait patiently in Xingshan."

Granny Mei pointed to the horizon, where a full moon appeared. The light in the illusion was dimming, and the night was about to fall. "After the moon rises completely, the illusion will be closed. At that time, your body will be wiped out in the illusion, and your soul can only live in it forever." In the body of the crab. Mu Xingqiu, you seem to have a suitable place to live. The dragon demon really looks at you differently. I guess this is also the result of the spell. "

Grandma Mei's phantom body returned to the crab and crawled into the sea.

Yuan Qijing nodded slightly, "This is not the best way to survive, but it is safe. I believe Granny Mei, you still have...about a quarter of an hour. I will stay here. Call me when you are ready to give up your body."

Yuanqi Whale also retracted into the crab and stayed in place.

"Let's go out the way we came." Lao Chong felt depressed when he thought about his huge soul entering the body of a small crab. What he longed for was fighting.

"Don't worry, let's discuss it first." Although Yin Buchen looked down on Yuan Qijing, he was persuaded and really wanted to stay.

Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin looked at each other, and there was no hesitation in his mind. The dragon demon's intention was not just to break the demon cave one day, but the power of destroying the illusion might also be used to fight the demons.

He raised his arm and released pure lightning. This was just an attempt. He had not yet figured out a way to break the illusion of Star Mountain. Just relying on brute force would definitely not work.

Lightning shot high into the sky, shooting out a large number of sparks that slowly spread like magma.
