Chapter 32032 All is a mess
On the stage, the background music of Qiongtai Opera had not yet ended, and the sound of stringed instruments was still echoing melodiously, but on the red lacquered carved railing illuminated by the lights, there was a streak of blood.
Aunt Hong's head hit the table hard, and liquid from her forehead dripped down bit by bit. She didn't even close her eyes and just fell to the edge of the table.
Behind her, the instigator rushed out from the backstage with disheveled clothes, bloodshot eyes, and heavy breathing. He looked like a beast that had just escaped from a nightmare, and he overturned the scenery on the stage with one foot.
There was a cold light in the depths of “her” eyes that did not belong to humans. Her white hair was tied up in a mess. She had a beautiful face, but she was a little tall... And why were “her” eyelashes also white?
Does White Snake look like this? This question popped up in many people's minds, but it was quickly replaced by fear and panic.
They all realized that this was the White Snake! She was the best singer of Qiongtai Opera in the entire Xingluo Kingdom, but "she" suddenly appeared on the stage and pushed Aunt Hong to the ground and killed her!
"White Lady killed Aunt Red! Is she crazy? Has she been possessed by a demon?!"
"Someone's dead! Hurry, go get the adults from Yingyue Palace!"
"This...isn't this part of the play?"
"What a joke! Aunt Hong is dead... Look how pale the boss's face has become! He's practically fallen off the stage!"
"Oh my god, there was a murder at the Full Moon Night Banquet!"
Noisy cries and shouts followed one after another, and some of the onlookers were running away, while others were pushing forward.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, "White Snake" stood still with a sullen face. His head was dizzy and he was in a dizzy state, about to fall. He could only barely stay awake and didn't know how much longer he could hold on.
He could feel countless pairs of eyes in the audience fixed on him. They looked at him in fear, as if he were a monster.
The illusion isn't over yet!
This means that the actress he killed was not the Eye of Illusion...even though she was standing in the center of the stage wearing such gorgeous and flamboyant clothes.
He remembered his master's words: every illusion has an Eye that can be broken through, like the Eye of Sand in the Flowing Sand City illusion. The Eye of an illusion can sometimes be an object, a symbol of that existence, or sometimes a person, the key to everything. By satisfying or destroying the Eye, one can escape from the illusion.
…
Illusion?
Maybe not...
The feeling of the evening breeze on his face was so real, and he could even smell the sweet fragrance of flowers.
The moonlight tonight is so beautiful, so bright and clear. It would be such a pleasure to sing a piece of Qiongtai Opera under such beautiful scenery and win everyone's applause... Bullshit!
The little snake shook his head with difficulty. He didn't want to identify with the identity of "White Lady"! He was an adult male white snake! Not an actor from Xingluo Country!
He suddenly raised his eyes, glanced at everyone fiercely, and shouted, "It doesn't matter if you can't find the Eye. Damn it, don't try to trap me! I can just kill everyone here!"
The disciples of Tianque Sect were originally hiding in the crowd, as if they were just ordinary spectators, but when the "White Snake" on the stage shouted that she wanted to kill them all, their expressions instantly sank.
Jing Huai also looked at the stage, his smile slightly subsiding.
The ambient noise was so loud that Zhuang Rong'er couldn't help but want to turn her head away, but Jing Huai actually held her face and gently smoothed the hair around her ears.
The fingertips that touched her face were cold, but they caught Zhuang Rong'er's full attention.
Jing Huai pointed out, "The person on the stage is not White Lady, but a snake demon who has transformed."
As soon as he finished speaking, his fellow disciples on both sides jumped up and jumped onto the stage.
He himself did not move, still looking at Zhuang Rong'er tenderly, and asked her, "Do you still like the mechanical bird?"
Zhuang Rong'er was silent for a while and looked up at him.
Jing Huai calmly withdrew his hand from Zhuang Rong'er's hair, not minding that his previous question hadn't been answered. He then asked, "Is the thousand-thread red we collected that day in the back mountain still enough?"
"...Yeah." Zhuang Rong'er reached out to shake Jing Huai's hand and asked him, "How did you send me down the mountain?"
Jing Huai thought for a moment and said, "I don't remember clearly. I probably carried you down there."
"...You don't know the way home, so I still have to rely on my butterfly to lead the way, right?"
"Yes." Jing Huai nodded and smiled at her.
Zhuang Rong'er looked at him twice and nodded along with him.
"I remembered it wrongly," she said. "I thought you placed me on the sword and used it to escort me down the mountain, all the way to the medicine shop outside the mountain gate, where you would wait for the Ghost Grandmother to come and take me away."
"..." Jing Huai was silent, his smile stiffened slightly.
At this moment, a huge snake roar startled the surrounding lanterns, causing the candlelight to flicker and several of them to go out one after another.
Zhuang Rong'er turned around and looked at the stage. This time, Jing Huai didn't have time to stop her.
She saw several disciples of the Tianque Sect fighting with a white python on the stage.
Several people formed a battle array with swords in hand, shouting, "The monster has revealed its true form, and it's still trying to struggle?!"
"Help! It's really a snake demon!"
Now there were no more people watching the fun, and the people fled in all directions crying.
"These young monks don't seem to be its match. Why haven't the adults from Yingyue Palace come yet?"
"What a sin! How could such a thing happen at the Full Moon Night Banquet?! This is bad luck for the country! It's unlucky!"
"Why are you still talking like this? Run! Be careful not to get eaten by that monster! Look, it's about to bite you!"
The white python raised its body, wrapped its thick tail around two monks, and slammed them against the back wall of the stage. Its bloody mouth was facing a monk in front of it, and its sharp fangs seemed ready to shoot venom at any time. It looked quite terrifying.
Its head was facing the audience, scaring the people who had not yet escaped into peeing and pissing themselves. However, no one knew what its pair of snake eyes saw, but it suddenly stopped biting people, and tears appeared in its eyes, which looked quite human, as if it was about to cry.
Zhuang Rong'er was slightly stunned. She stepped forward unconsciously, but Jing Huai behind her was even quicker. He touched the ground with his sword and flew into the air. His clothes fluttered, and golden talismans emerged from the sword. As he swung the sword, they turned into layers of physical restrictions. The golden light quickly blocked all four sides of the stage.
His expression was solemn, and his words were filled with murderous intent: "Monster, please stop being so presumptuous—"
The sword flashed past, as if it would cut off the white python's head in the next second, but another silk ribbon came from a distance. Although it was a soft and thin object, it had a sharpness comparable to that of the sword. It actually arrived before the long sword and slammed on the snake's head.
"Bang--"
The white python fell to the ground instantly, and the impact of the fall directly smashed a hole in the bottom of the stage, causing dust to fly. When the dust settled, everyone saw that there was a female monk on the stage. It was she who had thrown the silk ribbon that had subdued "White Snake" before.
No one expected Zhuang Rong'er's sudden intervention, including Jing Huai, who had not yet sheathed his sword.
However, he only hesitated for half a second before stepping forward and forming seals to complete the sealing formation.
As he moved, a vast sealing formation like a net suddenly unfolded, spreading from all directions, covering the stage and the unconscious "White Snake".
"Escort this snake demon to the dungeon and hand it over to the people of Yingyue Palace for handling," he said.
…
Shu Qianhe stood at the outermost edge, taking everything in. She had no one to tell about the shock in her heart, and she was so anxious that she wanted to bang her head on the ground.
She saw that the appearance of "White Snake" was clearly the third person in the restaurant that night besides Junior Brother A Huai and Master Zhuang.
It was his noise that attracted the attention of the guests.
From this, it can be seen that the other sword cultivator of Tianque Sect who looks very similar to Junior Brother Ahuai is actually Junior Brother Ahuai, but he has been given a worldly identity like "White Snake".
So, Zhuang Rong'er and her group of three all entered the illusory world in the belly of the World-Devouring Whale, but none of them woke up!
White Snake might have awakened, but she was forcibly subdued by the other two! This shows that as long as the strongest person is in hallucination and hypnosis, the awakening of other people, such as herself, is meaningless.
Shu Qianhe was so confused that she really didn't know what to do!
She stepped back in a daze and accidentally stepped on someone's foot.
"Sorry..." Although she knew she was in an illusion, she still apologized subconsciously. But when she turned her head, her eyes widened instantly and she hurriedly grabbed the other person's arm, "Uncle Master?!"
In fact, there is not only one person in front of me, but a man and a woman holding hands.
But she was sure that the man among them was her uncle Wuheng!
His robe fluttered slightly in the wind, revealing his muscular arms and dark wheat-colored skin. His facial features were quite handsome and had a certain casualness. There was not a single part of his body that was different from Wu Heng!
If you really want to find fault, there is actually some difference in their eyes, because the man in front of her doesn't even need to look at her directly, but just stares at the woman holding hands with him without blinking!
The woman was cold and dignified, and her plain long dress made her skin look as white as snow... Shu Qianhe had never seen this face before.
"Girl, why are you pulling me? I'm a family man." When Wu Heng opened his mouth, that iconic female voice made Shu Qianhe even more certain that he was undoubtedly her uncle, but the content of his words was really chilling!
Shu Qianhe was anxious and refused to let go: "Master! Why can't you wake up?! This is all fake!"
Wu Heng became impatient and shook her hand away, then took the woman in his arms and walked away.
She hurriedly chased after him and continued, "We are in the belly of the World-Devouring Whale! You are the elder of the Wuji Sect, and I, Shu Qianhe, am your nephew! We came to the Xingluo Sea to search for divine weapons. The fall of the Xingluo Kingdom happened a hundred years ago!"
"...What are you talking about?" The woman seemed a little troubled. After frowning and looking at her, she turned and glanced at Wu Heng, indicating that he should solve it.
Wu Heng turned around and glared at her fiercely, threatening her with his mouth: "Get out of here!"
He turned around and walked away with the woman.
"Xueqi, I really don't recognize her!" He explained to the woman beside him as he walked away, "Did what happened tonight scare you? I'll make you some pear soup when I get home, okay?"
Staring at the two people's backs, Shu Qianhe felt so hopeless that she couldn't even cry for a moment.
It's all chaos! It's all chaos!
One by one, they were lost in the illusion!
She avoided one Shui Jue, but ended up meeting more "Shui Jue"!
Now, at whose hands will she die who indulges in vanity and goes astray? It has become a suspense.
