Chapter 57
"Aren't me?" Bai Zixu's expression seemed to be a slowed shot, from surprise to confusion, and gradually turned to calm and indifferent. As the expression changed, his outline in Bai Ke's eyes became clearer and clearer, and in the end it was almost the same as Jun Xiao.
And what changes with clarity is Bai Zixu's appearance.
Bai Ke watched him change little by little from his most familiar outline, with his eyebrows, nose, and lips. It seemed that there were not much adjustments in each place, but the final shape of the face was much different from Bai Zixu.
However, Bai Ke is not too unfamiliar with the face in front of him, because... he is now holding on to this face.
To be precise, this is Bai Lingchen's face.
The only difference is that one is from their youth and the other is from their youth.
"You..." Bai Ke opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. After all, anyone who saw such a strange scene would have a moment of reaction.
The person standing in front of him was less responsive than him. He seemed to be able to feel the changes in his facial features and reached out to touch his face. The expression on his face belonged to Bai Lingchen's indifference, but when he opened his mouth, Bai Zixu's voice still came out: "I...who am I? What am I? Who am I..."
His tone was filled with surprise, which formed an extremely strange contrast with his indifferent face.
As his tone grew higher and higher, his appearance was like a video stuck, flashing between the two images constantly. Sometimes it was Bai Zixu's appearance, and sometimes it was Bai Lingchen's face, which made Bai Ke feel completely unaware of what to do, and he was stunned.
"What's wrong with you?!" At this time, Bai Ke was in a semi-trance state for some reason. He stretched out his hand to the person in front of him, as if he wanted to pull him, and as if he wanted to support him.
But as soon as his hand touched the sleeve of the person in front of him, the man became distorted and blurred as if he was reflected in the muddy water.
At the last moment, when he looked up at Bai Ke, his face changed back to Bai Zixu's appearance. At the moment when Bai Ke was stunned, two lines of red blood and tears flowed from his eyes, and then he collapsed like a house with a beam and a load-bearing wall.
"Dad!" At that moment, Bai Ke's rationality was lost.
He forgot that the person in front of him should be pretending by someone else, and he felt that Bai Zixu was bleeding from his seven orifices and his bang was like he could not bear it.
"What's wrong with you?!" Bai Ke could hardly stand, and wanted to rush over to take a look, but the person behind him grabbed his wrist.
He turned around anxiously and wanted to leave the hand holding him away, but he waved it subconsciously and still had a watery texture.
"Jun Xiao?" Bai Ke was stunned, his mind blank—
Huo Junxiao, who was originally holding his wrist, was like Bai Zixu, shaking like a broken reflection in the water for a while, and then red blood spilled out of his eyes, from the corners of his mouth, and from his ears. He looked at Bai Ke deeply, said something silently, and then fell to the ground, without a sound.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Xian, Lin Jie and the others seemed to have been infected, and the same signs appeared one by one.
There were faint sighs, painful moans, wails, and screams in his ears...
Everything started to become chaotic again.
But as more and more people fell down, Bai Ke gradually became calmer from blank and confused... because he didn't believe it.
If at the beginning, he would have become rational and confused by seeing Bai Zixu and Huo Junxiao fall down in front of him. Then now, he has found his reason again, and he doesn't believe in any of the scenes that happened in front of him!
How could Jun Xiao and Yu Xian lose their lives so simply? Even before they die, the reason was so vague? It was just a joke!
After having an experience of the illusion, Bai Ke almost thought about it too much this time, and he decided in his heart that this was still an illusion.
But when did this illusion start?
Was he smelled the bitter fragrance again? Or did he start from Bai Zixu's appearance? Or earlier, after waking up from the previous illusion, he had already fallen into this illusion?
Even... he has been struggling in the same illusion and has never woken up.
When the last time the illusion was discovered, Bai Ke was not very worried. After all, he thought he had successfully emerged from the illusion. However, this time, even though he knew that this was the illusion, he did not feel any relaxation, because he didn't know whether he would wake up completely from the illusion or continue to fall into the next illusion...
The most terrifying thing is probably the illusion that is one by one. When he is numb, he can no longer tell what is true.
He suddenly thought of the "Nine Killing Formation" mentioned by Hengtian Gate. The magic array that even Yu Xian only guessed but did not understand. Could it be the reason why he is constantly reincarnated in the illusion?
If the so-called confusing people in the "Nine Killing Formation" are such a confusing method... how many people can stay awake in countless entanglements of truth and falsehood and find a way to break the formation?
Bai Ke became unconscious again in deep worries, just like the last moment he escaped from the illusion, gradually sinking into darkness...
I don't know how long I have been in the dark, but a childish voice with childishness came vaguely, so far away that it seemed to ring from the mountains in the early morning. The voice was lazy and careless, humming an unknown tone-
"You can look up and see the sky, and you can listen to the dust. When you look down and look down, clouds conquer thousands of miles, mountains and rivers for thousands of years..."
Clouds are striving for thousands of miles...
Mountains and rivers have been around for thousands of years...
Bai Ke frowned and his fingers twitched.
He felt that his consciousness, which had been rising for no reason, was slowly returning, and his five senses gradually recovered...
This time, he woke up in silence and his hearing became clear. He didn't hear any sounds except for the drizzle of small flowing water.
He felt that the place where he woke up this time was different, but he didn't realize what was different for a while.
But the next second, he was stunned-
In the past, as long as his consciousness gradually became clearer, even if he didn't open his eyes, the outline of the surrounding scene would slowly appear in his gradually clear vision. When he opened his eyes, he would become clearer. But this time, when he didn't open his eyes, there was darkness in front of him, but it was not completely black and slightly red.
Bai Ke hesitated for a while, and a guess that he didn't dare to think came to his mind.
He took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.
The sky, flowing clouds, living springs, distant mountains... All the scenery around him was taken into his eyes without falling to the ground, clear and colorful.
All this confirmed his speculation, and he could see that in a normal way, at least at this moment, at this moment, his eyes returned to normal when there were more illusions than real ones.
Bai Ke turned over and sat up. Before he could be happy, he noticed something strange again - he could actually see the folds of his clothes under him through his palms.
He looked down at his hands and feet in surprise, and stood up from the place where he was lying blankly. Only then did he confirm that his whole body was indeed transparent, not a real individual. After getting up, there was still a person lying where he was lying.
This man has a handsome appearance, long hair like ink, a white dress like snow, and thin hands overlapping on his abdomen. If it weren't for his pale complexion and a trace of blood on his mouth, it would be like he had fallen asleep peacefully.
Bai Ke looked at his robe. From top to bottom, and the dark patterns embroidered on the edges were exactly the same as the one lying down, and he was full of fairy spirit. He was completely different from the Hengtian disciple costume he had before he was unconscious.
Although Bai Ke did not recognize his outfit, he recognized his face...
It was Bai Lingchen.
Bai Ke was stunned for a moment and then realized his current state - it was obvious that he was standing here as Bai Lingchen soul body, but he didn't know if others could see him.
This question was answered in a few seconds, because Bai Ke, who came back from surprise, found that the position he was standing was a circular stone platform with deep patterns engraved on it, with runes intertwined on it, and a faint golden light flowing on each gully. Less than half a meter outside the stone platform, the old man Yu Xian, whom he was most familiar with, was floating in the void, with his arms raised and his palms facing outward, slowly pouring spiritual power on the formation of the stone platform. The circulating golden light originated from him.
Yu Xian frowned, opened his eyes and looked at Bai Lingchen on the stone platform with a heavy expression, then sighed very lightly, and then slowly closed his eyes. The whole process completely ignored Bai Ke's existence.
Even Yu Xian can't see Bai Ke with his cultivation level. I believe that there is no other person here who knows his existence except himself.
But where is this? Why did Bai Lingchen lie there with injuries and feel unconscious?
Bai Ke lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his foot and walked down the stone platform. His snow-like clothes swept through the edge of the stone platform, but there was no dust on it.
This seemed to be on a high cliff. Bai Ke had never been here before, but his legs seemed to recognize the way. He walked through several high pillars, walked out of the altar-like place, and then walked straight through a forest.
In just a few minutes, he watched helplessly as the green branches and leaves gradually turned yellow and withered wither wither as he walked with his steps, and then fell in the sudden wind, like a colorful rain. The moment he walked out of the woods, large tracts of snow had fallen all over the sky.
In this place like an illusion, with his steps, time is counted in minutes and seconds, and everything seems to be going on in a fast-forward manner.
Out of the woods is an open cliff top, and you can see a rugged rock standing on the cliff from a distance.
Even though the snow was flying in the sky, it could almost charm people's eyes, let alone see what was carved on the huge rock hundreds of meters away. But when Bai Ke saw the huge rock, the words carved on it appeared in his mind-
You can observe the sky by looking up, and you can listen to the dust by looking down. When you look down, clouds conquer thousands of miles and mountains and rivers for thousands of years.
At the end of this passage, at the lower left corner of the boulder, there are two other words engraved, which are the name of this mountain, called "Yunfu".
Everything was so clear that it seemed to really hit his eyes.
At this moment, Bai Ke was like a person who woke up from a dream. He found in panic that he did not really see it, but remembered...
He remembers here...
Remember the cliff top that is high into the clouds, the black divine stone, the handwriting of dragons and phoenixes on it, and the Yunfu Palace...
