Chapter 134: Level 2 (4)

Monk Hu's smile was filled with embarrassment. "No, fellow Daoist, you're also very quick."

Tao Zi stood up. She was still in the same place as before. Many people around her were still standing there, wrapped in a layer of white light, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.

Those who were not shrouded in white light were either awake or silent, including the monk she saw in the illusion.

How cruel! She had praised the false ruins at the beginning.

She looked at Monk Hu, and there was still a hint of innocence in his eyes as always.

Tao Zi calmly compared the situation in the illusion with Monk Hu and found that from the moment the voice appeared, the situation they knew was slightly different.

For example, He Yinggui did not appear, and it was he who killed the snake and the fox.

But at the same time, there are many things in common, such as the authenticity of the surnames they each reported, and the fact that the grass ball spiritual weapon he took out did exist.

Tao Zi reviewed the entire process, and after coming to a conclusion, he said, "Fellow Daoist, I suspect this illusion is divided into three levels. When the sound falls, everyone enters the first level of illusion. Encountering a snake will lead to the second level, and killing a fox will lead to the third level. Each level of illusion will be adjusted based on each person's temperament, including the personality and behavior of the companions."

Monk Hu nodded in agreement: "Furthermore, these three illusions have something in common."

She lowered her eyes and said, "Perhaps the words and actions of each person after entering the illusion will affect the illusions of the people involved. Therefore, I provoked you, but you didn't. Of course, this is also why your surname is correct. As for killing the snake and the fox, it's probably you who did it in each person's illusion."

"rational."

Monk Hu nodded again, and then he added, "This level of illusion... This relic lives up to its reputation. It can be considered friendly to us."

Tao Zi thought of the third level of illusion and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back. If the monk's condition had not been wrong, it might have taken her some time to come back to her senses.

He whispered something, his expression a bit strange: "Everyone's illusions will overlap. At that moment of overlap, each other's situation is half true and half false. This is confusing but also a reminder."

She fell silent. Could it be that in the eyes of the monk at that time, she was shouting "good brother" to the air?

Monk Hu suddenly blurted out, "Fellow Daoist Tao, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm trying to distinguish the true and false events in the illusion." Tao Zi said casually.

"Fellow Daoist, don't you doubt that we are still in an illusion?"

She replied calmly, "Until there's any doubt, I will never doubt that the current situation is fake."

"Me too." Monk Hu said with a smile, "How about we set off now?"

Before Tao Zi could answer, she heard a loud bang. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw someone falling to the ground. The white light on his body gradually disappeared. It was Yan Wenxuan.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses and slowly opened his eyes.

After waking up, he stood up quickly and happened to see Tao Zi. He nodded at her and said with a smile: "This time, it should be reality. If it is not reality anymore, I will not care."

Tao Zi also replied: "It can only be reality."

Yan Wenxuan looked around and said with emotion: "We woke up early."

She smiled and took the initiative to invite: "Master Yan, we are planning to leave now, do you want to come with us?"

He shook his head and said, "No, I have companions."

"Then we'll go first. Goodbye."

He bowed and said, "Goodbye. I hope to see you two at the next opportunity."

After the two of them were out of Yan Wenxuan's sight, Monk Hu spoke up, "Does Fellow Daoist Tao need those little experiences along the way?"

Tao Zi shook her head: "No need, just go straight to the center."

"The center, is it the place that fellow Daoist pointed to in the illusion?"

She looked at him, and he smiled and pointed in a direction, which was exactly the direction Tao Zi had pointed before.

Tao Zi slowly exhaled and said, "This illusion is really brilliant. Even such small details are presented in other people's illusions."

Monk Hu nodded: "Perhaps, many people will be destroyed at this level."

"If your heart is stable, it will not be destroyed."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of fighting from behind him. "You're fake! I must still be in this illusion! Kill you and I'll end this!"

"Junior brother, wake up!"

Tao Zi sighed, sat on the straw ball that Monk Hu had just taken out, and said, "The first level is insignificant. The second and third levels are the most fatal. Those who are not strong enough or mentally weak don't need to wait until the third level. They killed their companions in the second level, and it's normal to collapse under the psychological pressure of the third level."

Monk Hu smiled and said, "It's good to have fellow travelers like us. We don't have to hesitate too much when we take action."

"Not necessarily," she rejected the idea. "If the relationship is bad, they'll easily fall prey to the fox's charm and attack their companions. If they dig out a heart, there's no telling whose heart it will be."

As she said this, she thought of the monk.

Monk Hu muttered to himself, "This relic is truly fraught with danger."

The greater the crisis, the better the opportunity.

It’s just that the murderous intent of the Xuyan Ruins was not so strong in the previous times. What happened this time?

The two of them quickly moved towards the center.

Along the way, one or two monster corpses could be seen occasionally. It was obvious that they were the work of those who woke up first.

But this also proves that they have chosen the right path.

Gradually, the number of monsters increased, and the two began to choose to practice on foot.

After defeating the monsters several times together, Tao Zi said, "My strength is too weak. I may not be able to deal with the subsequent monsters. Will Fellow Daoist Hu still accompany me?"

Monk Hu looked at her and smiled, "I believe that fellow Daoist's strength is more than this."

Tao Zi wiped the blood off the dagger, without even looking up, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"I was able to wake up from the illusion so quickly because I've heard of this kind of illusion and have encountered it before, so I have experience with it. But Fellow Daoist Tao is just an ordinary solid-state cultivator in the early stages. How did he wake up so quickly?"

When he said this, his expression was still gentle and innocent.

She put the dagger away and boasted with a smile, "Of course it's because I'm smart and realized something was wrong early on."

Monk Hu followed her words and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are intelligent, so I want to travel with you. My elders in my family once told me to travel with intelligent people."

Elders in the family?

Tao Zi glanced at him. Under normal circumstances, cultivators would talk about their sect's master. Which sect would be able to always quote the advice given by their elders at home?
