Chapter 26: Illusion
"It is indeed possible."
Su Xing said with a solemn expression: "Perhaps, everything we see and hear now is the weird illusion... The real us may have been outside of Daniu Village all the time, so we just listened
Talk to the villagers when you get to the village."
The reason why Su Xing was able to think of these things is not that he had any clever plans.
Weird things are rampant in this world, and naturally there are countless legends and stories related to weird things.
I have heard these stories so many times that it makes sense to think of them.
By the campfire.
Hearing what Su Xing said, the monk in white said uneasily: "How about... let's try to respond to that voice?"
"Can."
Seeing that the other party volunteered to test him out, Su Xing would not stop him.
He was very alert and ready to activate his 'Entertainment' state at any time to deal with various situations that might occur.
at the same time.
The monk in white also responded to the voice in the darkness: "Brother, where are you now?"
…
The entrance of Daniu Village.
Hearing the white-clothed monk's question, Liu Hao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I'm in the village, can't you see me?"
There was another long silence.
After a long time, four people outside the village spoke out again: "Brother, look around us... are there any monsters?"
"have."
After hearing this sentence, Liu Hao finally understood.
Apparently, the four people outside could not see the 'Hundred Eyes', which was why those people were resting at the entrance of the village.
Thinking of this, Liu Hao reminded the four people outside the village: "That monster can fly, and it has been floating around you, and it has many eyes..."
…
On the official road.
After hearing the villager's description, the monk who spoke the least among the four looked horrified.
He suddenly said: "It's the 'Hundred Eyes'! If I guessed correctly, we should have been targeted by the 'Hundred Eyes'!"
"Hundred eyes?" Su Xing was startled when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "Is this monster difficult to deal with?"
The monk in white had obviously heard of the 'Hundred Eyes'.
He explained to Su Xing: "This monster is not difficult to deal with. The main reason is that its abilities are a bit weird..."
"Hundred Eyes" is a fleshy ball-shaped creature that has no body and is covered with eyes.
Like most monsters.
The 'Hundred Eyes' cannot be touched, killed, or communicated with.
This monster itself is not aggressive and cannot directly kill humans.
But the eyeballs growing out of its body have the ability to enchant people's hearts.
Anyone who is looked directly at by the "Hundred Eyes" will fall into an illusion and continue to perform all kinds of bizarre behaviors.
until death.
After listening to the monk in white's description, the female cultivator seemed a little uneasy: "So, we have been confused by the 'hundred eyes'?"
"It's possible."
The white-clothed monk smiled bitterly and said: "If we really fall into illusion, then in reality we are likely to do something incredible..."
"What about?" the female nun asked subconsciously.
"For example, killing each other." The monk in white said: "We may even die without knowing what we are doing."
I don't even know how I died, which does sound a bit scary.
Su Xing couldn't help but ask: "Then is there any way to deal with this 'hundred eyes'?"
"have!"
The monk in white said: "Illusion in this world is nothing more than creating what you think is a real scene, and using it to confuse the real scene... But when you do something or cast a spell, it exceeds the cognition of the caster.
When the other party is unable to simulate the subsequent development, then the illusion will naturally be self-defeating."
Speaking of this, the monk in white had a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Like the golden elixir, the magical powers that Nascent Soul monks can cast casually, the 'hundred eyes' cannot be transformed, so these people can easily break the illusion... But how many of us can
This person is just a monk in the Qi training stage, how can he break this illusion?"
As long as we do something that cannot be simulated, can this illusion be broken...
After hearing the hint given by the monk in white, Su Xing suddenly had an idea and said, "I have a way, but I don't know if it's feasible or not."
With that said, before anyone could ask questions, he patted the storage bag on his waist and took out three meat ball-shaped objects.
"Is this a longevity medicine?"
The white-clothed monk said amusedly: "Fellow Daoist Su, you take this for granted... The effect of longevity medicine on increasing life span is just to change a few numbers on the chest. The 'hundred eyes' can be easily transformed and cannot be used to break the illusion."
.”
Regarding what the white-robed monk said, Su Xing didn't say much.
He handed the meat ball in his hand to the three of them and said with a meaningful smile: "Take these three longevity pills."
"this...."
The monk in white wanted to say something else.
But Su Xing urged: "Three fellow Taoists, don't ask any more questions, just take the pills."
The situation is critical now.
The white-clothed monk and others are suspected to have fallen into the illusion of the "hundred eyes", and their lives may be in danger at any time.
In this case, you might as well treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor and listen to Su Xing for a while.
After the monk in white and the other three people thought about it for a moment, they swallowed the life-span pills given by Su Xing one after another.
Su Xing's idea is very simple.
Normally, whenever a monk swallows the longevity medicine he refined, countless 'black threads' will emanate from the body surface.
Most of these 'black threads' will gather in Su Xing's body.
As for the creatures that can absorb the 'black thread', apart from Su Xing himself, he has only seen two types:
One is the ‘longevity ghost’ who controls the lifespan of human beings.
‘Shougui’ possesses great power that humans cannot understand.
They cannot be touched and cannot be killed.
No matter how powerful a monk is, once his lifespan is exhausted, he will definitely be killed by the longevity ghost, with no chance of survival.
The second is the indescribable creature ‘Shou’.
Indescribable creatures also possess great power that humans cannot understand.
Mortals can temporarily obtain it by simply worshiping its statue, which is comparable to the combat power of Qi-training or even foundation-building monks.
Compared with these two existences.
Just the golden elixir and the 'Hundred Eyes' that monks at the Nascent Soul stage can easily break through their illusions seem a bit insignificant.
Su Xing concluded that it was absolutely impossible for the 'Hundred Eyes' to understand the existence of the 'Black Silk Thread'.
And the reality was just as Su Xing thought.
By the campfire.
After the three monks in white swallowed the life-span medicine, they saw that the scene around them gradually became distorted, even unreal.
Between the world and the earth.
Su Xing opened his eyes and found that he had returned to the entrance of Daniu Village inexplicably.
Outside the village, a translucent flesh ball with eyes all over its body was floating next to Su Xing and others.
The countless eyes on the surface of the flesh ball were all staring at Su Xing and the others.
Presumably, this monster is the 'Hundred Eyes' mentioned by the monk in white...
Just when Su Xing and the others were stunned.
I saw a villager in Daniu Village say: "Hey! You guys, hurry up and hide in the village!"
This villager's voice is extremely normal.
only.
