Chapter 203 You talk too much nonsense
The feeling of being suddenly pulled out of the illusion was not pleasant, especially when he saw that scene before returning to reality. Qin Qinsen was now particularly itchy and needed to use violence against something in order to calm down.
Qin Qinsen took a long breath, suppressed the rage in his heart, and stood up with the help of Teng An.
"Master Zhang?"
Not only were Teng An and others surrounding the bed, but Jiang Wei and Master Zhang, who had changed into a formal Taoist robe, were performing rituals on Teng Su.
Master Zhang gave Qin Qinsen a reassuring look, then continued to hold the incense burner in his hand. Wisps of green smoke seemed to float into Teng Su's brows as if they had consciousness.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Wei was a little worried. It was rare to see Qin Qinsen get sick and still look indignant after waking up.
Qin Qinsen shook his head, his eyes swept around the room, and finally landed on Master Zhang.
"Master Zhang, what kind of school is this?"
"Using incense as a medium to lure people into dreams is considered a form of dream magic."
Like everyone else, Jiang Wei was closely watching Master Zhang's movements, so his answer was very general.
"I see."
"You just emerged from the dream created by Shi Ming. Don't waste your energy on casting spells. Wait until Master Zhang wakes Teng Su up, and then I'll examine you."
"good."
Qin Qinsen agreed very readily, and played Wuliangqiu with great pleasure.
With two rustling sounds, Wuliangqiu turned into a long whip in Qin Qinsen's hand and swung it around.
The first victim was "Jiang Wei".
“What are you doing!?”
Qin Qinsen said nothing, sneered twice, and swung his long whip with a golden light to hit "Jiang Wei" in the face, directly scattering the man like mist.
A puff of white smoke appeared where Jiang Wei had been standing, and broken branches and leaves fell to the ground. Qin Qinsen stepped on them and crushed them in anger.
As the whip was swung, the entire space returned to silence.
There is no Teng family villa or Master Jiang Wei Zhang, it is just a peach forest.
"How cruel! You're so cruel as to even kill someone you know. You're truly worthy of being a Xuanmen genius." Shi Ming's voice echoed from all directions, his tone teasing yet tinged with doubt. "I clearly extracted them from your memories, and the illusion I created is absolutely flawless. How did you discover this?"
"...You haven't been thinking about how to fall in love all these years, have you?"
No matter how convincingly real the characters in the illusion are, they are not living people. Something that is not human naturally does not have its own destiny.
Moreover, from the moment he "woke up" and saw Teng An, Wuliangqiu could be said to have been screaming at him—it was all fake! They were all liars!
Qin Qinsen's contemptuous tone made the monster unhappy, and the leaves rustled in unison, moving without wind.
Gripping the whip tightly in his hand, Qin Qinsen keenly sensed that it wasn't just the leaves that were moving; the entire forest was closing in on him. The distance between him and the trees kept shrinking, and even the distance between the trees was closing in, forming a circle of wooden walls that surrounded him.
"Why, the damage done to your body in the thunder tribulation hasn't healed yet? Judging from your appearance in the illusion, it must have been at least three to five hundred years ago. You've been nourished with blood and essence, and nourished by love, but even that can't repair your body?"
It didn't take much observation to see that Qin Qinsen was now face to face with the nearest row of peach trees.
Snap——
The long whip swung out, and the tree trunk fell down with a clang. Infinite Seeking's golden light surged, and the surrounding trees all vanished.
"Is this your magical weapon? It's really beautiful. Why don't you stay with me?"
Shi Ming's voice was pure and innocent, but Qin Qinsen didn't buy it. "I dare to give it to you, but do you dare to take it?"
As he spoke, the weapon emitting golden light suddenly left his hand. It seemed that he was dissatisfied with Qin Qinsen's words and quickly moved away from him, flying out of the range of the trees.
"Haha, it's angry and doesn't want you anymore. All things have spirits. How can someone like you understand our feelings?"
Qin Qinsen didn't bother to pay attention to him. He quickly drew a talisman on his palm and chanted a spell quickly, "...I hereby invite the five thunders from the five directions to kill the ghosts and subdue the evil spirits... Thunder and fire will descend, and the evil spirits will be dispelled, as the law commands!"
A familiar aura of thunder and fire swept over, and the surrounding trees exploded the moment the lightning spell descended, and flames quickly swept across the entire forest.
"Ah - you, you want to die!" Shi Ming's voice was painful, as if he didn't expect Qin Qinsen to cast the thunder spell in his territory.
"Stop pretending. It's just a dream. It can't hurt you at all. At most, you'll be a little burned. Just drink some cold water." Qin Qinsen waved his hand, and the flames that were about to burn his face disappeared instantly.
"When did you find out?"
"When you're talking a lot. Oh, no, you've always been a talkative person."
"Hehe, so what? Ah Su is mine. As long as you don't wake up, you will never be able to snatch him from me, hehehe——"
Shi Ming's cheerful laughter was getting farther and farther away. He must have left this dream and returned to reality.
"……ill."
Who said he couldn't wake up?
The peach forest that was burning with flames just now disappeared completely with Shi Ming's departure. Qin Qinsen looked around, chose a direction in the vast white, and moved forward.
I don’t know how long I walked, but the white fog around me didn’t change at all.
Just as Qin Qinsen was pinching the magic formula to find the direction, he smelled a hint of sandalwood from the tip of his nose, which seemed like an illusion, but also seemed real.
The ten fingers changed movements quickly, and a familiar voice sounded in Qin Qinsen's mind.
Is Master Qin injured? If so, walk straight ahead 200 steps, then east 70 steps.
Qin Qinsen did not respond, but asked Wuliang for confirmation in his heart. After getting the same answer from the other party, he jogged towards his destination.
Qin Qinsen didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw a faint golden light flashing in the fog.
"Qinsen?"
Teng Su sat on the stool that Wuliangqiu had transformed into and looked at the newcomer in surprise. "Why are you here too? Are you not hurt?"
Bang!
A punch hit Teng Su's shoulder, causing him to grit his teeth in pain. "You're murdering your own husband!"
As he said this, he tried to pull the person into his arms, but was coldly rejected by Qin Qinsen.
Knowing that this man was angry, Teng Su organized his words as quickly as possible and told him everything he had experienced.
It turns out that Shi Ming's purpose in kidnapping people was not to have any entanglement with his lover in the past or present life, but that he needed Teng Su's body as a container to stuff Shi Su's soul into it.
The thunder tribulation that Shi Ming encountered that year was an unexpected disaster - the snake demon on the neighboring mountain was about to transform, and the snake demon did not want to destroy its own territory, so it diverted the disaster to the east and ran to the mountain where Shi Ming was to survive the tribulation.
Thus, Shi Ming, who was supposed to only experience this event a hundred years later, was forced to endure a baptism of thunder and lightning. He was lucky and managed to survive, but he was ill-prepared and suffered severe damage to his body, unable to maintain his human form for long.
Just when he was sad about his bad luck, Shi Su appeared.
Shi Su had the sensitivity and delicacy typical of a scholar. When he saw the ugly, burnt peach tree struck by lightning, he actually felt pity for it. He then asked someone to transplant the peach tree to his own yard.
