Hush!secret

Appreciation burst out from the charitable eyes: "You already know? You are very smart..." The old man said as he turned his head and glanced at the edge of the bamboo forest, as if there was something there, but in Chu Rui's eyes, there was nothing there.

The most terrible thing was that Chu Rui found that Shang Zhongli also glanced in that direction several times intentionally or unintentionally.

Chu Rui only thought for two seconds before taking off her glasses decisively.

Beside the bamboo grove, there was a dark blue light, vaguely shaped like a human.

Chu Rui took a step back in fright.

Both Shang Zhongli and the old man were stunned by Chu Rui's move to take off his glasses. The old man's eyes flickered, and Shang Zhongli's reaction was much greater.

"you saw it?"

Chu Rui hurriedly put on his glasses, his heart was up and down in just over two hours, he was going to have a heart attack sooner or later!

The old man smiled and said to Chu Rui: "Little Chu, listen to me tell a story..."

"I don't want to hear it."

The old man and Shang Zhongli were both stunned.

The old man couldn't help smiling: "Okay, you and my grandson really have similar tempers."

Shang Zhongli was displeased: "Who looks like him!"

The old man stretched out his palm and pressed down to signal Shang Zhongli to be quiet.

"You don't want to know why your friend disappeared in the mist?"

Chu Rui lowered her gaze, and after a while.

"Please speak."

elder:"?"

Chu Rui: "Don't you want to tell me a story?"

The old man was slightly stunned, then stroked his beard and smiled happily: "Actually, it can't be called a story." The old man motioned for Chu Rui to follow as he walked, "Do you believe that the current technology has developed enough to develop such a surreal game?"

Chu Rui: "It can't be called a game!"

The two walked along the bamboo forest trail in the back garden. The colder the deeper they went, the colder Chu Rui shivered subconsciously, her purplish hands clenched tightly. , it seems to pierce into the bone, into the marrow.

"Of course it's not a game, but it can also be called a game, because for the thing behind it, the so-called players are just insignificant playthings in its eyes."

"What's behind it?" Chu Rui stopped in her tracks.

The old man turned around, looked at Chu Rui's reaction and nodded with a smile: "Then do you believe that there are non-human beings in the world?"

Chu Rui took a deep breath: "I didn't believe it before, but now I have to believe it."

The old man continued to walk forward with a smile: "There have been countless monsters and goblins in this world since ancient times, but most of them have been wiped out in the course of thousands of years. The entanglements in the world are those whose power is so great that no one can deal with it."

"Was it wiped out by you?" Chu Rui thought of the so-called Shangshang Taoist merchants, and said it was a Taoist school, but he had never heard of it, and it was unheard of.

The old man nodded: "The heavens and the earth are created in chaos, and everything is born with spirits. The monsters you often talk about, in our opinion, can be divided into spirit monsters and monsters. Spirit monsters are formed by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth. Some of them are flowers and plants, and some are animals. Spirit monsters cultivate It’s not easy, most of them are not malicious, and they are not as powerful as you often show on TV, and can take human form and call the wind and rain…” The old man couldn’t help laughing, “It’s just enlightened, possessing our human thoughts, and the ability is far away. More than ever."

When the old man mentioned that he had great supernatural powers and transformed into a human form, for some reason, Chu Rui remembered the strange story of the fox demon who turned into a beautiful female ghost on TV, who specialized in sucking the spirit of scholars.

"The monsters we are going to talk about next are different!"

Chu Rui: "I know, Shang Zhongli mentioned it before."

The surrounding bamboo forests gradually disappeared, and the sun shone in. Chu Rui, who was too cold, felt warmer than ever before. The vision in front of her eyes gradually widened, and everywhere she looked was full of vitality.

When he walked out of the garden of his house, he went directly to the edge of Qingyuan Mountain.

“What a great place!”

The old man smiled: "Monsters are born of seven emotions and six desires. They are difficult to distinguish between good and evil, and it is even more difficult to eliminate them. Human beings are human after all, and they are flesh and blood. Once the body is damaged and dead, there is no power to recover. Therefore, our merchants are thin. , in this generation, there are only two children, Zhong Li and Li Yue."

"The businessman is a demon... Taoist priest?" Chu Rui asked, but felt a little ashamed.

The old man kindly said: "You can put it this way! In your words, we are celestial masters and Taoists, but in fact, we are called Taoists who practice in famous temples, and those of us who are wandering outside have a collective name called Hongmen, Hongmen." There are three doors, the upper one, the lower one, and the lower one. Our business is one of the upper ones." Then, the old man's expression became serious, and Chu Rui's heart tightened, "The name you went to The game called 'Secret Quest' first appeared in the records hundreds of years ago."

Hundreds of years ago?Chu Rui was shocked.

"At first, there was an illusion. A rich businessman was desperate because of his debts. He entered a foggy environment one night. He always disappeared at night and appeared again during the day. At some point, he had a lot of money on him. Not only did he pay off He got rid of his debts and lived a richer life than before. Others asked him why he suddenly became rich, so the rich businessman told others about the Misty Illusion. Many people believe in it but suffer from the fact that they can’t find the so-called illusion no matter what.”

Chu Rui knew it well, and it was exactly as he had guessed that the people invited to the game were those who had a strong desire for money.

"For hundreds of years, everyone has been looking for illusions, but for hundreds of years, there has been very little news about illusions. In the past, news did not circulate. Even if there were various rumors, they were just rumors. Until 150 Years ago, Huang Xiadao, a celestial master, entered the illusion, and the illusion was shown to us for the first time."

"At that time, the talented celestial master was young and energetic, and he didn't know what he was about to face. His experiences in the illusion told him time and time again that it was an illusion made of countless monsters. He thought Knowing what the formation of the illusion is, he entered again and again, and finally one day, he was never able to come out from it."

The old man looked into the distance, his white hair and wrinkled eyes made him look particularly old at this moment.

"There is a problem?"

The old man came back to his senses: "You ask!"

Chu Rui stared at the old man: "Does what you said have anything to do with me?"

The old man told him: "Our family's Zhongli is very talented. He is the best among the Hongmen of this generation. Therefore, he has to take on the task of exploring the illusion. We charged high prices on the dark web. business card, so Zhong Li is not a person directly invited by the illusion, he is an outsider in the illusion, and in order to protect itself, the illusion will increase the danger and difficulty in the illusion."
