Intersection of daily life and reality
Ignoring everything else, Chi Wangyue continued walking ahead.
As a result, we ended up going back to square one.
Chi Wangyue thought angrily, "!"
Hu Li looked for an opportunity to refresh the host's taskbar, but it seemed to be frozen and empty.
The taskbar displayed "QAQ Please have mercy~"
Hu Li's eyelids twitched; a bad premonition was coming.
"Some things are just unlucky, and when bad luck comes along, things will naturally fall apart."
Chi Wangyue said in a low voice.
If he finds out the system is cheating him, he'll definitely refresh the taskbar/system interface hundreds of times from now on, and if he can't refresh it, he'll still suffer the consequences! But even now, he can do it!
That's a story for later.
Although Chi Wangyue is still inexperienced, she is already a formidable fighter.
"Never mind, I'll just play it safe for now. Once I'm back at my peak, I'll definitely be crowned king and appointed prime minister!" Chi Wangyue said in a daze.
Suddenly, Yan Tianhua's hand blocked Chi Wangyue's view.
Chi Wangyue "???"
With a flick of his wrist, several talisman papers appeared, their drawings crooked and distorted, resembling a combination of scribbles.
What is this?
He hesitated for a moment.
After Chi Wangyue carefully examined it, she then came to understand it on her own.
"Could this be Fu Feng's talisman paper?"
Looking into Yan Tianhua's eyes, Chi Wangyue fell silent.
He murmured to himself, "Whose talisman cultivator writes in such a scrawled style on the talisman paper? Oh, it's from my own Talisman Peak."
Fu Feng's disciples exclaimed, "What a huge pot!"
Chi Wangyue couldn't help but think, "In the world of cultivation, some people cultivate immortality, some become demons, and some even become ghosts."
Their sect is mediocre, but the items they simulate are seven parts vulgar and three parts improper.
The eldest brother was unaware of his junior brother's misunderstanding of the Luoshu. The Luoshu itself was an old and prestigious sect, so naturally its aura was more powerful, but in the end, it was all supported by their master and senior brothers.
Yan Tianhua usually doesn't realize it, but when she talks about her family's connections, although there is a unique tree, she is full of deep affection.
Yan Tianhua looked at Chi Wangyue's indescribable expression and understood his doubt and "disdain" for the drawing on the talisman.
Yan Tianhua's cold voice rang out, and Chi Wangyue subconsciously looked at his face.
“I grew up on Ruthless Peak, so I haven’t encountered any of the messy things there. The three main peaks each have their own characteristics, and they cannot be treated the same. You may not understand them, but you should respect them.”
Liu Linfeng listened intently to the gossip, though he didn't bring it up himself. He was quite interested in hearing about Yan Tianhua and Chi Wangyue's sect, and so he watched them with great interest, chin in hand.
Liu Linfeng glanced at Xing Yu beside him, whose face was innocent, and felt a warmth in his heart.
Compared to his casualness, Xing Yu was usually calm and composed, which he found quite pleasing.
Chi Wangyue realized belatedly after Yan Tianhua finished speaking, "It was to explain to me."
Chi Wangyue focused her mind, her gaze becoming even more resolute as she looked at what was in front of her.
Faced with the current "ghost wall" situation, Yan Tianhua felt somewhat gratified as she watched her junior brother Chi cheer up, having straightened his attitude.
Yan Tianhua said, "There are ways to deal with being trapped in a maze. There is a solution to everything in the world, no matter how difficult it is. Relativity is one of the nature of things. There are no completely opposite events. For example, in the face of absolute power, everything must be yielded to."
A similar thought popped into Chi Wangyue's mind: "You mean we can use some kind of absolute domain to break through the obstacle called 'ghost wall'?"
Liu Linfeng was somewhat taken aback. "Huh? What are you going to do?"
Xing Yu silently took a step back.
Liu Linfeng didn't hear their telepathic reply. He first saw Xing Yu retreating. At that moment, he seemed to understand. Before his body could react, he nimbly retreated, his eyes filled with caution.
He sighed a step later, his tone carrying a sense of bewilderment and belated realization that "you guys played together without me," a realization that I, as clever as I am, had just had.
Chi Wangyue silently gave him a nickname: "Drama Queen".
Liu Linfeng watched Chi Wangyue put on a show without making a sound and thought to himself, "Loading the goods."
The two chatterboxes suddenly echoed a childish yet clever sentiment, conceding in a way called "the best way to break the deadlock."
Military force will always be number one.
The gun is loaded.
Yan Tianhua stubbornly refused to let the sword pass through him, and Chi Wangyue cooperated with him. The Cang Sheng Sword cleared the way, and wherever the sword's edge pointed, a crack immediately appeared.
They took the lead, and the two behind them were no ordinary people either. Liu Linfeng followed behind, as did Xing Yu. The two of them had superb footwork and did not encounter any obstacles.
After the "ghost wall" was broken, Liu Linfeng immediately checked the situation around him. He seemed a little puzzled, but the road was indeed calm.
They were as if they had suddenly received special care, only to be abandoned in a deserted place.
However, this has its advantages.
Being in the eye of the storm can help you grow, but forcing growth too much can make you seem too eager for quick success.
The four people present understood.
Yan Tianhua and her group continued walking outwards. What was once a hallucination within a hallucination was no longer their focus; instead, they were trying to explore the core of the hallucination.
Yan Tianhua had long suspected that "they were deliberately misleading people. The core of the illusion and the true nature of the illusion were not important from the beginning. What was important was their ability to see through the mystery."
The fact that they deliberately lingered for so long was clearly a long-term strategy to reel in a big fish.
Pond Gazing at the Moon doesn't have such a long-term vision.
They should take things one step at a time; they can't just fly away without laying a solid foundation.
"Come quickly!" Liu Linfeng's cheerful voice leaped into my mind.
Xing Yu: "...Okay."
Chi Wangyue walked at a brisk pace.
Yan Tianhua discovered that the front door had been open the whole time. No, they hadn't entered through the door in the first place.
Is it—the backyard? Or a road that came from somewhere else?
Chi Wangyue suddenly realized, "He seems to have been deceived."
To be precise, from the moment they entered the game, everything was being written in the unknown. The calm and collected atmosphere in the early stages was a prelude to the turbulent events that followed.
As everything came to an end, they discovered that those involved had already written a hasty conclusion.
The flowers and plants along the way were all ashes. Yan Tianhua and Xing Liu were used to it. Chi Wangyue followed her companions without making a sound.
At that moment, a young voice echoed in their ears, with a hint of a child's voice in its tone.
As the sound echoed, Huang Di, holding a chess piece in a house called "Dead Tree Comes Back to Life," had a look of seriousness in his eyes. Suddenly, a voice in his mind said, "The line has been changed."
He got up and went to where Yan Tianhua and her group were.
They never forget to calculate in their minds, exploiting users to extract maximum value and playing their maximum role in disguise.
And Number One, his current subordinate, was the best tool at this moment. Without much hesitation, he walked directly towards Number One. He needed to carefully consider whether Number One was still "loyal to him."
In the end, he didn't lay a hand on the opponent and even voluntarily withdrew his punches and kicks.
He lacked all three: opportune timing, favorable location, and harmonious relationships.
Like a lonely king.
The self that trapped him was only able to see the clear sky after he had thought things through.
The voice rang out, seemingly drawn out, carrying a touch of desolation.
Huang Di listened as well.
When will we finally return home?
When does the wind gently blow?
When will we return to the real world?
What is real, and what is fake? Illusion and reality coexist; falsehood is taken for truth, and truth is taken for falsehood. Where will this end?
Wait for the wind to sing softly, carrying you to your lost dreams.
Chi Wangyue looked at Hu Li's stunned expression and reached out to touch the ears that had grown out of it, but Hu Li was faced with a difficult choice as it looked at the high-risk mission that had just appeared on the panel. At the last second, Chi Wangyue hurriedly chose to accept.
Hu Li's anthropomorphic large ears were briefly blocked.
It said in a low voice, "Host! You—"
Hu Li was forced offline before she could finish speaking.
Chi Wangyue thought to herself, "Thank you, but the strong are never afraid of the environment. No matter how difficult it is, they will eventually reach the top."
Hu Li "QAQ~"
And while they were briefly forced into a state of disorientation—
Number One remained silent. He glanced at Fuyao beside him, who was also "suffering in silence and bound by constraints." The two exchanged an inappropriate glance before hurriedly turning their heads back to look at their respective masters.
For a moment, many "maybes" flashed through their minds.
Perhaps, sincerity is the key to good results.
Perhaps, falsehood and truth coexist, intertwined with cause and effect.
Perhaps, hardship is more suitable for tempering and refining oneself.
No matter how crazy the world is, doing your best is perfect.
System Task: Find the Answer
Introduction: Where is the answer?
Other unknowns
Points reward +100
Hu Li suspected that the main system was hiding something, but he couldn't prove it.
All they can do is keep an eye on their host and pray for good luck.
Chi Wangyue sensed that something was changing, and Yan Tianhua probably felt it even more clearly. He inadvertently caught a glimpse of the Budu Sword making a "ringing" sound, and at the same time, he decisively drew the Cangsheng Sword.
The Sword of All Living Beings: All living beings are the sword, used to overcome calamities and bear the consequences of karma.
"Are we getting closer?" Chi Wangyue sighed helplessly, gripping the Cang Sheng Sword, which was burning hot.
The next moment, she changed the subject, "What's meant to happen will happen eventually, a little earlier... is fine too."
Huang Di approached them wearing a mask and purple robes. He exuded an ancient and elegant charm that inspired awe at first glance.
"Here you go, I'll change your task."
Number One was silent for a moment, then said sincerely and clearly, "...Okay."
Fuyao stared at the person in front of her, and Huang Di glanced at her but didn't make any big moves.
His glance was like discovering a tiny, ant-sized "ghost" stretching out its claws to scratch people.
"Look? Can you remember it?"
The body's protective mechanism will always pop up to remind its owner of the great danger they have taken, drawing a circle-like pie in the sky, and then kindly automatically blocking it out.
Fuyao was helpless and speechless. "I have to block out something that's neither human nor ghost just because I remember it. Am I under some kind of curse that prevents me from seeing someone clearly? Ha."
Number One's eyes flickered.
Huang Di mistakenly entered the imperial palace.
"The game of chess has been played well, but the positions have long been disordered; the outsider has misled the cause and effect, but the gun has already been loaded."
This was a predetermined plot.
Forcibly altering the plot will result in incomplete changes; letting things take their natural course and accepting whatever comes will lead to a more harmonious outcome.
As expected, Chi Wangyue unexpectedly discovered that someone was observing them not far away.
"?"
Chi Wangyue quietly took Yan Tianhua's hand from beneath her.
"Please protect oTATo."
Yan Tianhua didn't bring much when she came; it was only a small amount compared to the mountain of props that had been piled up before.
He casually brought a few talismans with him, the incantations on which came from Master Xu Huai of Fu Feng.
The higher one's magical power, the stronger the binding ability of the talisman.
Chi Wangyue mentally clicked on the "designer" of the talisman.
Xu Huai, far away in Fufeng, unexpectedly sneezed.
The voice complained to the friend on the other end, "My luck has been a bit low lately. Did I trigger some special effect again? No way, the lucky charms I've been researching lately, I followed the materials and steps in my book step by step!"
Gu Shuoxing made a face. "Do whatever you want."
Xu Huai retorted, "You're such a casual guy."
Gu Shuoxing looked at Xu Huai, who was talking angrily, and accurately described her friend as "a cat that gets easily agitated".
Xu Huai: "Heh, I'm going to draw a talisman, so I won't see you off."
Gu Shuoxing shook his head and returned to his small residence on the Ruthless Peak.
After entering the room, Gu Shuoxing first went to his private stash and searched through it. The empty stash remained intact.
...
Unbeknownst to Yan Tianhua, Chi Wangyue was checking their favorability rating.
Current favorability level: 1
Chi Wangyue exclaimed, "That was close! I almost forgot about it!"
