After the boss derailed

At this moment, the two seemed to hear the sound of gongs and drums coming from a distance.

Just as Qi Xiaolian was about to step forward quickly to take a look at the situation, she caught Bai Yunsheng's wink and motioned for herself to keep quiet.

Qi Xiaolian immediately shut up obediently and leaned against Bai Yunsheng.

A pair of strong hands climbed up to her, Qi Xiaolian looked down, and saw Bai Yunsheng's well-articulated hands holding her tightly, as if she was afraid of losing herself.

Qi Xiaolian: ...It's not necessary, I am a living person with sound limbs, and I can still seek advantages and avoid disadvantages...

It's just that before these words were uttered, Bai Yunsheng pulled her to hide in the grass beside him, and whispered, "Don't make any noise."

Qi Xiaolian lowered her head tactfully, and found the weeds to hide herself.

The sound of gongs and drums getting closer, and the sound of someone stepping on fallen leaves.

Qi Xiaolian held her breath, pushed aside the grass, quietly revealed a gap, and looked forward.

Seeing this almost scared Qi Xiaolian into a cold sweat.

I saw that in front of me was a row of weddings.

Walking in the front is a bridegroom riding a horse—but the groom is made of piles of paper, wearing a groom's hat, a big red flower on his chest, and thick makeup on both sides of his cheeks , with a smirk drawn on his face, the corners of his mouth reaching to the ears.

He sat on a real horse and walked in the front, staggering, but he was not blown away by the wind.

And the next one was a matchmaker-like person, who was actually a real person, but her eyes were dull, her steps were stiff, she walked in a very weird posture, and there was a just-right smirk on her face.

Followed by a few young strong men, they were expressionless, numbly carrying a sedan chair, but they were actually steady, and they followed behind the matchmaker, keeping a distance of two steps, taking it easy walking.

Seeing this, Qi Xiaolian almost stopped breathing.

But what shocked her even more was the people behind the line.

This is a welcoming team, and the accompanying people are naturally indispensable behind it.

Those who followed the sedan chair were all real people like the big man who carried the sedan chair, but they were dressed in different ways.

Some are dressed like ordinary people who have just returned from the fields, and there is still fresh mud on the rolled-up trouser legs, and there are waiters in the waiter in the teahouse and restaurant, with a towel around their necks...

What's more, people who look like teachers are also at the back of the team. They are dressed differently and have different identities, but they all have one thing in common - they all have expressionless faces, like marionettes obeying instructions .

When they walk, they lift their toes up first, and then they land heavily on their heels, walking side by side in this way.

However, when everyone passed by Qi Xiaolian, the last two people in the line were Mo Rongyu and Shen Mingchu!
The team is divided into two columns, two people, one on the left and one on the right, are just at the end of the team.

It's just that the two of them are no different from the previous ones, their movements are also stiff and their eyes are dull, as if they are being manipulated.

Seeing Mo Rongyu, Qi Xiaolian's pupils widened at that moment.

Almost subconsciously rushing forward.

Bai Yunsheng behind him immediately pulled him back.

"Don't act rashly." Bai Yunsheng covered Qi Xiaolian's mouth with one hand, and wrote gently in her palm with the other, "There are living people inside."

"Shen Mingchu and Mo Rongyu are both living people."

Seeing this, Qi Xiaolian calmed down, looked into Bai Yunsheng's extremely calm eyes, and nodded vigorously, expressing that he would not move around, Bai Yunsheng then let go of his hand.

"Follow up first and see the situation." Bai Yunsheng wrote again in Qi Xiaolian's palm.

Through the cover of weeds, Qi Xiaolian glanced outside.

The welcoming team walked very slowly, so now she could still see the figures of the last two people - Mo Rongyu and Shen Mingchu, which were particularly eye-catching in the thick white mist.

Turning around, she mouthed Bai Yunsheng, "Okay."

The two came out of the grass cautiously, and followed quietly at the end of the welcoming team.

Mo Rongyu and Shen Mingchu were originally at the back of the line. When Qi Xiaolian and Bai Yunsheng quietly followed behind, the two seemed to sense that someone was coming behind them, but their steps were only slightly stagnant. , tilted his head, as if thinking for a while, then returned to normal, and continued to walk forward in a strange posture.

Qi Xiaolian stood behind Shen Mingchu, and Bai Yunsheng stood behind Mo Rongyu.

At first, Qi Xiaolian tried to poke Shen Mingchu's back quietly, leaned into her ear, and called out "Senior Sister Mingchu" in a very low voice, but the other party didn't respond.

Qi Xiaolian tried to slowly gather a wave of spiritual power at her fingertips again, wanting to go deep into Shen Mingchu's body and explore her sea of ​​consciousness.

But just as the light from the fingertips gathered, the welcoming team suddenly stopped.

Qi Xiaolian was startled, and immediately put away her spells, obediently pretending to be a lifeless marionette.

The matchmaker who was walking in front of the line turned his head, walked from the beginning of the line to the back, saw Qi Xiaolian and Bai Yunsheng, and paused for a while, but thanks to Bai Yunsheng's vigilance, he covered up their aura in advance, so the matchmaker He just paused for a moment, then left without seeing anything.

When walking to the front, Qi Xiaolian heard a familiar voice from inside the sedan chair: "Let's go, don't miss the auspicious time."

The voice was deep and hoarse, not like a woman's, but it was indeed a woman's voice—it was the female ghost before that.

Now it can basically be concluded that this illusion is related to that female ghost—it is even very possible that the creator of this illusion is that female ghost.

Thinking of this, Qi Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief.

Generally speaking, there are two ways to break the illusion—one is to find the "eye" of the illusion, and the other is to let the owner of the illusion realize that the place he is in is illusory, so that the illusion will also be broken. Fall apart.

It’s just that the second method is much more difficult than the first method—knowing that the illusion is originally to satisfy the things you can’t do in reality. It can be said to be a beautiful dream. Who would admit that the beauty they have obtained is fake? ?
But no matter which method, Qi Xiaolian decided to give it a try.

Because although the illusion is a beautiful dream for the creator, for the monks who stray into it, the illusion will not only erode their cultivation base to strengthen the scene they created, but if it is more serious, it will also exhaust the spiritual power of the monks trapped in it. Lost, reduced to the puppet of others.

It's scary to think about it.

The team restarted, Qi Xiaolian imitated Shen Mingchu's footsteps, followed her rhythm, and was sweating profusely in a short while - it was too tiring for a living person to walk in that way.

He secretly looked at Bai Yunsheng at the side, and saw that although his face was expressionless, his face was flushed, and he was struggling to learn Mo Rongyu's steps, step by step, as clumsy as a quail.

Qi Xiaolian turned around and couldn't help lowering her head and suppressing a smile.
