The woman said a lot of auspicious words until Xiang Sheng handed her another piece of silver, and then she left happily.
After sending the woman away, Xiang Sheng lowered his head to look at the tea leaves swirling in the tea, his eyes thoughtful.
There are about tens of thousands of monks who died in the eight secret realms, which is completely inconsistent with the number of monks who entered this place.
She checked all the bodies one by one, but did not see Jiang Yi and his group.
There were no signs of fighting or anyone walking in the underground maze corridor outside the study.
Putting all the clues together, she came to the conclusion that in addition to the eight secret realms, there were other dangerous places in the Abyss Snake Clan's lair.
The other cultivators, including Jiang Yi and the others, might be trapped in it.
But I didn't expect that the danger behind the door would be this illusion.
She had just walked around and didn't see any of the monks on this trip.
In the entire illusion, she is the only living person except for the people created by the illusion itself.
Others are probably just like her, trapped in the illusion of the small town, unable to extricate themselves...
Time flies by while I am thinking.
It was not until the woman came over and took away the cold tea that Xiang Sheng came back to his senses. He looked up and saw the sun setting and the lights coming on.
She actually sat here for a whole hour.
The woman seemed to be afraid of asking Xiang Sheng to return the silver, so she took the tea bowl and disappeared in a moment.
He glanced at Xiang Sheng, but didn't see anyone. He had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It's clearly just an illusion...
She shook her head, put aside her distracting thoughts, stood up and walked towards the main street.
There seems to be a lantern festival today. The main street is more lively at night than during the day. It is bustling with people everywhere, and the sounds of hawking, children laughing, and cheers are endless.
Xiang Sheng walked out of the alley and saw a young couple guessing riddles not far away.
The pretty woman looked shy, covering her mouth with her hands and giggling softly, while the man beside her had gentle eyes and brows, full of admiration.
Not far away, in the sugar figurine shop, a craftsman had just made a rabbit in a few strokes. The little girl in front of the shop, with sparkling eyes, pointed at the sugar figurine and kept shaking her mother's arm...
As he walked, Xiang Sheng became a little dazed.
The thought that I had just suppressed came to mind again.
She actually had the illusion that the scenes before her had really happened.
"No matter how real the illusion is, it is still an illusion..."
After taking a deep breath, Xiang Sheng's eyes regained clarity. He took two more steps and suddenly heard a faint childish cry amid the laughter.
Her heart moved slightly, and she followed the sound through the crowd.
Soon, a little girl in a bright red brocade jacket came into view.
The girl was fair and delicate, with a hazy jade-like light surrounding her.
Her watery eyes were filled with helplessness and grievance, and she walked and cried in the light:
"Mother...mother..."
"Mom, don't you want Xiaobao anymore, wuwu..."
"Mom, where have you been, Mom..."
Xiang Sheng glanced at the people around him, his brows slightly furrowed.
It seemed that no one could see the girl except her.
Monk's methods?
She clenched her palms.
The mark of the "Ancestral Seal" on the palm of his hand became even hotter.
Is this girl dangerous?
Or... is this girl from the same clan as Si Wuli, the ancient clan?
However, this cultivation planet was extremely remote, and it was an unknown distance away from Si Wuli's Lengzhuhai, not to mention the ancient clan's base camp. How could the ancient clan exist...
All kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind, and she finally walked forward and stopped in front of the girl.
Tears welled up in the girl's eyes. Seeing someone stop in front of her, she immediately opened her eyes wide and looked at Xiang Sheng, asking crisply, "Big sister, can you see me?"
Xiang Sheng nodded slightly and asked gently, "Can't you find your home?"
The girl nodded repeatedly and looked at Xiang Sheng pleadingly: "My home is on Guijiu Street in Qiongxiang. My mother lost me, and I... I can't find the way back.
I…I want to ask someone, but no matter how I ask, they ignore me. Big sister, can you help me…"
When she said this, the girl burst into tears due to grievance.
Xiang Sheng looked at the girl, was silent for a moment, and sighed softly.
Forget it, I don’t know how to get out of this predicament anyway, so I might as well use this girl’s connections to find out more.
"Don't cry, I'll take you home."
She wiped the tears from the girl's eyes, picked her up and walked towards Qiong Lane.
Qiong Lane is not far from the main street, but the alleys are winding and it is still difficult for children to find it.
A moment later, Xiang Sheng stood at Guijiu Street in Qiongxiang holding the baby girl.
The girl returned to the familiar place and immediately became energetic. She pulled Xiang Sheng and quickly found her door and banged on it.
Soon, footsteps were heard inside.
With a slight "creak" sound, the courtyard door opened from the inside.
A tall but ordinary-looking man in blue clothes walked out.
