Chapter 57
She knelt for a long time. Even though everyone had many wishes to express to the gods, it couldn't take that long. So some people behind her thought she was wasting time and urged her to hurry up.
Lu Xiaoguo seemed not to hear what they said. An old man with a crutch and a plaster cast came up and poked her foot roughly with the crutch.
Seeing that Lu Xiaoguo still didn't move, the old man angrily raised his crutch and tried to tap her arm, but was blocked by a hand shaped like a withered branch.
Lu Xiaoguo was invited to the side by an old man in a gray robe.
Wu Qian looked at this scene and said, "Is this Master Yuanzheng? I heard that the master who introduced you was Master Yuanzheng, and he passed away in your temple five years ago."
"yes."
However, what Master Yuanzheng said to Lu Xiaoguo in the illusion was: "You have evil thoughts in your heart, and the Dharma will not tolerate it..."
"Lu Xiaoguo, are you feeling better?" Wu Qian suddenly asked.
"I'm recovering."
"Well, hit it, I can't bear it anymore."
Which orthodox monk in Buddhism or Taoism would say to others that you have evil thoughts and the law cannot tolerate them?
This illusion first tore off a layer of Lu Xiaoguo's past, and then distorted the facts in various ways when her psychological defenses were at their worst, trying to shake her beliefs and cause her to collapse.
Even Lu's mother's affairs were used for exploitation. Fortunately, Lu Xiaoguo said that she had recovered, and Wu Qian believed that she really had recovered.
The evil spirit lingering around the girl Lu Xiaoguo was still inciting her: Even the gods have abandoned you, who else can you turn to?
Wu Qian muttered something, turned her wrist, and pinched the master's seal, which enabled her to sense the ancestor of her Taoist sect in an instant.
Respond to the heaven and walk through the sky gate.
An illusion of emerald green bamboo leaves appeared before her eyes, like an old man's hand lovingly brushing Wu Qian's head.
A stream of Qi poured down from the top of the head, gentle yet powerful.
Before the bamboo leaf disappeared, it also stroked Lu Xiaoguo's head. At that time, she felt the care from her elders and she became more focused.
Wu Qian continuously changed her spells to attack the devilish barrier. Fluorescent green light spots appeared one after another, trying to break the illusion while also attacking the devilish energy on the foreheads of the two Lu Xiaoguos.
Every time Lu Xiaoguo was attacked by the magic spell, his spiritual platform shook. He frowned and endured it.
However, it did not shake the illusion at all.
The illusion has shifted from the temple back to Lu Xiaoguo's home.
Lu Xiaoyou is four years old and is very annoying. When he does something wrong, he will frame Lu Xiaoguo and say in front of his grandparents and stepmother that Lu Xiaoguo beat him. He also deliberately diverts his family's attention when they are concerned about Lu Xiaoguo.
Lu Xiaoguo shook his head, "I want to try to merge."
Since it was her illusion, the way out also lies in herself.
"What?" Wu Qian paused with her hand gestures. When she looked over, Lu Xiaoguo had already closed his eyes. She did not resist the call of her other self and merged her consciousness into him.
When she opened her eyes again, she had become the young girl Lu Xiaoguo.
She looked down at Lu Xiaoyou who was holding her hand.
"Sister, aren't we going to the park?" Aren't we on the way to the park?
Seeing that Lu Xiaoguo ignored him, Lu Xiaoyou shook off her hand and kicked and hit her, making a scene, scratching the back of her hand with his sharp nails.
The evil spirit instigated in his ear: "Throw him to a deserted place, and you will be Dad's only child..."
Lu Xiaoguo said to Lu Xiaoyou: "You are not my brother. My brother is very cute."
The real Lu Xiaoyou,
He recognized Lu Xiaoguo when he was a few months old. He would cry when anyone else held him, but he would wave his little hands and smile when Lu Xiaoguo held him.
The first word I learned was "sister".
The red envelope won from the "Zhuazhou Ceremony" was handed over to Lu Xiaoguo.
When Lu Xiaoguo went home during the winter and summer vacations, she would sit on a small stool at the door early. When she saw Lu Xiaoguo, she would run towards her happily even though she was wearing a diaper and could hardly walk steadily.
When Lu Xiaoguo was lost in thought while looking at the photo of Lu's mother, he would ask: "Sister, who is this auntie?" Lu Xiaoguo told him: "This is my mother." Lu Xiaoyou exclaimed, "Mom! So beautiful!" Then he told everyone he had two mothers, and his sister's mother was also his mother.
It is undeniable that when everyone intentionally or unintentionally ignored or erased the traces of her mother, it was Lu Xiaoyou who acknowledged the existence of her mother, just like acknowledging Lu Xiaoguo's broken soul, picking up the fragments, blowing away the dust, and putting them back together.
It was Lu Xiaoyou who filled the gap between her and her family.
A flower in Lu Xiaoguo's heart withered, and new buds sprouted from the soil near the flower, and another flower bloomed.
In the illusion, Lu Xiaoyou was throwing a tantrum, and the evil spirit in Lu Xiaoguo's ear was furious: "Don't you hate him? He took away your father and your love, don't you hate him?!"
It seemed very angry and hated people who had suffered in life but still maintained good intentions.
It tried desperately to find out if there was any flaw in Lu Xiaoguo's attack, but before it could make the next move, Lu Xiaoguo closed his eyes and started chanting a mantra.
Every time she recited a sentence, a golden Sanskrit word would appear out of thin air in her illusion, filling the entire space.
Finally, like glass breaking, the illusion shattered.
…
When I opened my eyes again, everything around me was plunged into darkness.
Before the last ray of light disappeared, Wu Qian ran to Lu Xiaoguo, took her hand, and looked around vigilantly.
They didn't ask, "Have you passed?"
This is not a test. Everything presented is just to break through the defenses of people's hearts.
However, the evil spirit did not make any other movement. Just when they were trying to find a way out, a lifelike magical dragon, dragging a little golden light, swam towards them from the edge of the darkness as if searching for their trace.
"Is it..." Is it Zhou Du or Li Yang? They were suddenly unsure, and it was at this moment that they discovered that the two people's spells, in addition to having similar auras, also had strong attack sense.
Wu Qian couldn't tell the difference between them and Lu Xiaoguo, and she was too lazy to think about it, so she just held on to the light tightly.
*
Li Yang and Zhou Du drove to Mingda University, but did not see Lu Xiaoguo and Wu Qian.
He opened his phone to try to contact them and saw Lu Xiaoguo's message. He was speechless that they didn't understand what he meant by "stay at the school gate and don't move", so he drove to find the fountain.
As it turned out, no one was there, but there were a few bags of snack packages placed by the pool. I touched the bags and found the food inside was still warm.
Li Yang called, but the service area was out of range, so he just used a spell.
A small koi fish emerged from his fingertips, leaped, and splashed golden water.
He performed the Dragon Movement Technique beautifully.
Zhou Du's eyes were on his fingertips.
The little koi first swam around its owner, leaving behind a tail that shone brightly with golden light.
After Li Yang finished reading out Lu Xiaoguo's birth date, the little koi jumped again, and its figure disappeared for a moment, as if it had sunk into the water. When it came out again, it had become a majestic little dragon floating out of the water.
The little dragon's whiskers fluttered as he searched for the landing fruit.
However, it just circled around the food and returned to Li Yang, coiling obediently on Li Yang's fingers as he performed the magic trick, its dragon tail swinging intermittently.
Li Yang withdrew his hand gestures and the little dragon disappeared.
Zhou Du retracted his gaze and concluded: "They are not in this space."
Li Yang took a breath of the cold air and wanted to ask like Ma Dui, "Are you the consultant or am I the consultant?" He had not put in any effort along the way, so he would feel embarrassed to slack off now, so he reluctantly participated in the work.
Youlong Jue couldn't find anyone who disappeared in a short period of time, and Gui also guessed that Lu Xiaoguo and Wu Qian fell into a different space.
If Lu Xiaoguo was present and heard what he really said, he would shake his hand and pat him on the shoulder to congratulate him on his first step into the job market - complaining about his boss.
Li Yang glanced around, from the fallen leaves to the fountain, from the stone pillars to... Li Yang's eyes fell on the stone lion guarding the fountain.
Just now they came out of the gate of Heda University and saw stone lions.
And Qingdao University and Zhou University——
"Are there also stone lions at Qingda University's Baiyu Lake and Zhouda University's library?" He looked at Zhou Du.
After getting confirmation, the two walked forward to examine the stone lions.
But it is just a very ordinary sculpture, there is nothing weird about it, nor does it have any bad smell.
Li Yang opened the map on his phone and marked the places where stone lions were placed at the four universities.
When the lines are connected, crisscrossed, and intricate, the formation is about to emerge.
"It's a four-gate formation." Li Yang looked up as he spoke, and saw Zhou Du squinting at something through the fangs of the stone lion.
He looked over and saw strange runes engraved on the stone ball hidden in the lion's mouth.
But before the two could do anything to the stone ball, the opposite ball had already preemptively shot out a faint blue light and swallowed the two of them.
Thanks to Fang Wanyun last time, Li Yang was not interested in this kind of copy.
It was dark all around, and before anything happened, he had already shifted his thoughts.
Since we are already in the same space, we should be able to find Lu Xiaoguo and the others, right?
Li Yang tentatively summoned Youlong again.
At this moment, the little dragon swam slowly in one direction and swam very far away.
When he found Lu Xiaoguo, Li Yang seemed to have sensed something and pulled him over.
The four of them finally met up. Lu Xiaoguo and Wu Qian felt a little dizzy because they were being pulled.
That was the moment they pulled Xiaolong. How to describe it... Oh, it was the puppy's retractable leash. As soon as Li Yang pulled it in, they were dragged through the broken space and came here.
When they stopped shaking, the evil spirit had also taken over Li Yang's entire life.
Lu Xiaoguo recognized the baby lying on the table as Li Yang's by the baby's eyes. At the age of two, the baby had beautiful and iconic peach blossom eyes. The baby had thick and long eyelashes and was biting a pacifier.
Then, the whole illusion... got stuck?
And it's a repetitive card, stopping, turning off, and releasing, stopping, turning off, and releasing.
Lu Xiaoguo and Wu Qian actually felt from these actions that the evil spirit seemed to be struggling whether to treat Li Yang the same way as it treated other people.
But it repeated this several times, as if it was also curious about Li Yang's past, and decided to continue with the plot.
"It must be an illusion... They must be afraid of Xiao Li." Lu Xiaoguo murmured. After all, Li Yang is their nemesis.
Li Yang did not watch the revolving screen, but instead took the time to ask Lu Xiaoguo and Wu Qian to tell him everything that had happened to them.
However, Lu Xiaoguo was very interested. He kept his eyes on it and spoke intermittently.
Li Yang pieced together her messy sentences.
I picked up some paper money for the dead, was tricked into getting on a paper cart, and fell in here.
Then the same revolving lantern appears, with a mixture of truth and falsehood. In the middle, people's hearts can be observed in real time. Once they fall into the illusion and are confused and broken, they will become completely hideous and lose their humanity.
Lu Xiaoguo and Wu Qian were fine, as they knew what was going on and were able to break through the illusion with their concentration, but how could they identify the dozens of missing students?
Li Yang learned that Lu Xiaoguo and the others had relied on scriptures to break through. Since his cell phone had no signal and he couldn't search, and he didn't know how to recite it, he looked at Zhou Du, but saw that Zhou Du was also staring at the illusion without blinking.
The plot has reached the point where Li Yang's biological mother entrusted him to his uncle and left the town.
However, Li Yang's uncle was a bachelor in the town, with no wife or children. He was addicted to gambling and drinking. He was not at home all day and did not cook. He occasionally gave some money to the canteen and let little Li Yang go to the store to get eight-treasure porridge when he was hungry. He raised the child in a very rough way.
Children are not picky about eating cold sweets every day and they love them very much.
He is not old enough to go to kindergarten, and I don’t know whether Li’s uncle will let him go to kindergarten. Little Li Yang is also well-behaved. He sits at the door every day. When others ask him what he is doing, he says he is waiting for his mother to come back and pick him up.
