Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

"Let's get down to business!" Zhu Wuyao quickly changed the subject.

"What kind of person do you think would wish for lightning to fall from the heavens?"

Ye Xiaozhou leaned back, crossed his legs, looked up at the sky, and said:

"Entering the Golden Core stage and the Nascent Soul stage will involve heavenly tribulations. I really hope that heavenly lightning will fall and let me overcome this tribulation!"

"Let me think... And what about those couples who made vows to each other, hoping that a bolt of heavenly lightning will strike the faithless one dead?"

Zhu Wuyao nodded thoughtfully.

Both possibilities are quite likely and realistic.

She also came up with a few other possibilities—such as some cynical person hoping that a bolt of lightning would strike and kill everyone, so that no one could survive.

Or perhaps it's for some important formation, or for the completion of a cultivation technique, which requires heavenly lightning to fall at the right time to provide support...

Zhu Wuyao's mind was filled with a jumble of thoughts, which were then suppressed one by one.

"By the way, last time, the girl Qi who taught at the school was walking out when the scene before her eyes blurred, and then the cycle started again. What about you?"

Ye Xiaozhou recalled for a moment and said:

"I think I've managed to kill the person who sells sugar paintings at his stall?"

“It’s a little different from yours. The last thing I saw was a dazzling silver light, like the silver expanse of Lake Fedu spreading out, and then I lost consciousness.”

Ok?

A blanket of silver light spread across the sky? Spreading out in the southern part of the city where Ye Xiaozhou was charging?

Could the key to breaking the deadlock lie in the south of the city?

Zhu Wuyao was puzzled for a moment.

Ye Xiaozhou pointed to the travelogues laid out on the table and asked:

"What kind of obsession do you want to elicit from the people of Biyi City through these books?"

"go out."

"go out?"

"That's why we can stay conscious and not be assimilated when we first arrive, but if we stay for a long time, there is a risk of losing our memories again."

Zhu Wuyao reached out and picked up a travelogue, which described a scene outside of Biyi City, or even outside of it.

It contains bizarre and wonderful anecdotes, telling stories of towering mountains, vast seas, and an infinitely beautiful world.

She continued:

"If one day we truly lose our memories, as long as this determination to 'go out' remains, amidst the myriad forms of life, we may still have a chance to regain our senses."

Therefore, the existence of this travelogue was not merely to stir up trouble in Biyi City.

It is also a move that demonstrates foresight and preparedness.

Perhaps one day, it can be used to save oneself.

Three to five years is too long, and Zhu Wuyao is somewhat worried. She is concerned that her original memories will gradually become blurred and replaced by memories implanted by various people.

Therefore, this book is not only written for Biyicheng.

It is also a letter sent to the future.

Ye Xiaozhou had also thought of these things.

She said, “That makes sense. You are writing books in the city, and I want to go and see what it’s like outside of Biyi City.”

"In these two reincarnations, although I have memories of scenes outside Biyi City, I have never personally stepped out of Biyi City."

"I wonder what lies outside this city..."

During their late-night meeting, the two decided on what to do next.

Zhu Wuyao continued his normal life, observing whether there were any unusual occurrences in the south of the city. At the same time, he used his travelogue as a starting point to arouse the curiosity of the people in Biyi City about the outside world, enticing more people to go out and see what changes would occur in the lives of ordinary people.

Ye Xiaozhou, on the other hand, is more proactive. She will go to explore what lies outside Biyi City and, incidentally, investigate the opportunity for the continuous cycle of all living beings.

-

The plan is very comprehensive.

But things rarely go as planned.

To Zhu Wuyao's surprise, the bookstore owner in Biyi City was extremely dismissive of her travelogue.

Moreover, this "dislike" is not because the book is poorly written, but rather the personal likes and dislikes of the bookstore owner.

The bookstore owner's surname was Hong, and his given name was Hong Fei.

He flipped through a few pages, tossed the completed travelogue back to Zhu Wuyao, and said:

"What kind of nonsense is this? It's all rubbish. I've seen this kind of thing in other places when I was young, and I've never seen it before!"

"All I saw were bandits blocking the road and tigers ready to devour people, not to mention the demonic beasts and evil cultivators that suddenly appeared!"

"Having traveled to so many places, only Biyi City is a paradise, a place of peace and joy."

"You're just a young girl, and you think you can mislead people and send our children out to their deaths by spouting a few nonsense words?"

Hong Fei snorted coldly, his words filled with indignation.

He glanced sideways at the travelogues and said:

"Take it back quickly and use it as kindling, at least it can keep you warm. Don't take it out to spread rumors and mislead people."

Zhu Wuyao took several deep breaths, telling himself to stay calm, but then Ye Xiaozhou's words, "We're invincible," kept popping into his mind.

I, a cultivator at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, once fought my way from the south of the city to the north during my last reincarnation...

I can't believe I have to put up with this kind of frustration!

She really didn't expect that a mere travelogue would elicit such a strong reaction from Manager Hong.

They regarded it as a monstrous flood.

It seems that the book contains some heinous crime, and not only should her book be banned, but she herself should also be sent to prison for reformation.

Zhu Wuyao picked up the book that had been thrown back onto the table.

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and left through the bookstore's main gate.

Before leaving, she carefully examined Mr. Hong's appearance and memorized the location outside the bookstore.

I plan to show this shopkeeper named Hong Fei what a real monster is tonight!

Once they got home, Zhu Wuyao was finally no longer angry.

She carefully recalled Hong Fei's attitude and noticed something was amiss.

No.

It seems that the entire city of Biyi is trying to encourage people to settle here and not leave their hometown.

For example, during her first reincarnation, she walked up to a sugar painting stall, where the couple's child said that he had a bad memory and was afraid of forgetting the way home, so he wanted to stay in his hometown to accompany his parents.

For example, Ye Xiaozhou, who has not yet regained his memory, once said that Biyi City was very nice and that he wanted to settle down there.

Even her parents, who were part of the diverse community, often told her not to go too far away and to stay in her hometown and live a stable life.

Apart from--

"Sister! I'm done with school!"

Zhu Wumeng's voice came from outside the door. Her door was open, and the little girl ran straight in.

She said with a smile:

"Sister, when will those travelogues be available for sale at the bookstore today?"

"Let me take a look for you first, okay? Are there really mermaids in the North Sea? But if mermaid tears can turn into pearls, wouldn't many people want to capture them...?"

As soon as A Meng entered the room, she pestered Zhu Wu to ask her all sorts of strange and interesting stories.

It's obvious he didn't pay attention in class today; his mind was probably filled with Lilliputian and mermaids.

In Biyi City, everyone lives in peace, firmly believing that this is the only paradise and that the outside world is extremely dangerous.

But there was only Zhu Wumeng.

She wanted to go out and see the world.

Hearing these wildly imaginative questions, Zhu Wuyao smiled and said:

The bookstore owner refused to accept my travelogue.

"Ah? Why!"

"Because it was afraid of the people in Biyi City, and no longer wanted to live there, it began to want to leave."

Such resistance must be influenced by the diverse aspects of human life.

Will those who leave Biyi City gradually break free from assimilation and regain their self-awareness?
