Chapter 314: Between Dream and Reality (Happy June 1st to my big and small babies)
The leading Qingyuan Sect inner disciple was named Feng Yuanfa, who had been in Foundation Establishment for five years and was still in the Qi condensation stage of the Qi Sea, which was the early stage. This time, he was ordered to lead four outer disciples to patrol the mountain to search for the thief who might have been sent by the Maling Sect.
From the oral account of the outer disciples who recruited loose cultivators at the North River checkpoint, the sect had a prediction about the enemy's cultivation level: he was an array master at the Foundation Establishment stage. But his cultivation was not too high. If he were at the Golden Core stage, he could not have done such looting, not even letting go of the few spirit stones and even silver taels on everyone, which was not at all the demeanor of a high-level person.
Therefore, Feng Yuanfa's task was to discover the enemy's trail and then drag it out to notify the sect to surround and capture him.
But Feng Yuanfa judged wrongly at the first meeting. He heard one enemy, but two people appeared before his eyes. Therefore, he shouted "Stop," wanting to confirm further. But it was too late. Before the words fell, more than half of the outer disciples and stewards brought out had fallen. One was tightly bound by a rope and could not move, two were injured by double arrows and fell into a coma, leaving only the last one.
It should be said that this last one was quite clever. Although his cultivation was not as good as the several outer sect brothers, he was extremely fast in seeing the situation. Before Feng Yuanfa gave the order, the bamboo whistle had already been put to his mouth.
But he was also too late. He was grabbed out of thin air by Liu Xiaolou, who pounced in front of him, and the bamboo whistle fell out of his hand. In horror, he touched a bamboo pen from his sleeve and pointed at Liu Xiaolou's face, starting with three drops of water.
The Qingyuan Sect excelled in calligraphy and proved the Dao with books. This was their sect inheritance.
But he was just an outer sect steward at Qi Refinement Stage 7. In front of Liu Xiaolou, how could the bamboo pen point down? Before the first point was even half-pointed, he felt it was difficult to continue. He reluctantly drew half a point downward, but was invaded by Liu Xiaolou's true essence into his meridians, and many places were sealed, his whole body stiff, and he could no longer move.
Solving this outer sect disciple was just a matter of one move, not exceeding two breaths. Liu Xiaolou swept past him and rushed toward Feng Yuanfa, who was the only one standing.
At this time, Feng Yuanfa was holding a judge's pen like jade in each hand, fighting with the soft-armored cultivator.
Feng Yuanfa wanted to free his hand to notify the sect, but neither the bamboo whistle nor the magic talisman could be used in time. He even felt it difficult to change his breath and could not make a sound, only feeling that his whole body was wrapped in a dense and heavy pressure. Even if he leaked a breath, he would be broken into his side by this huge pressure and crushed!
Was this not a mid-stage Foundation Establishment? Feng Yuanfa was extremely nervous in his heart and immediately made up his mind to be injured and show a warning!
He feared that he would not be able to persist for long under the siege of two Foundation Establishment cultivators, not to mention that one of them was a mid-stage one!
Just as he was about to take the contact magic talisman regardless of anything, his eyes suddenly blurred, and he found himself appearing in a garden, with pavilions, ponds, bamboo, flowers, buildings, walls, the sound of zither and flute, and the color of red candles and curtains...
Sure enough, he was an array master!
Feng Yuanfa knew he had entered an array, but he was in the pavilion, guarding with extreme nervousness for a while, and did not find the attack means of the array, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief—it seemed to be just an illusion array, fortunately, fortunately...
To break an illusion array, there are two ways. This is the consensus of the cultivation world. One is to break it with force, and the other is to break it with cleverness.
Feng Yuanfa did not think that he had the qualification to "break it with force" in front of a Foundation Establishment array master. The strength of an array master is usually one level higher than other cultivators of the same cultivation level; therefore, of course, he had to break it with cleverness.
As an inner disciple of Qingyuan Mountain, he usually received array training, and Feng Yuanfa was no exception. He had seen many arrays, and he also had experience in how to break illusion arrays. After looking around, he picked up two judge's pens and rushed into the building.
The array eye must be in this small building!
Entering the hall, he saw that the hall was empty, but the sound of zither and flute was always ringing in his ears, confirming that it came from here. Suddenly, the misty true essence in his Qi Sea moved inexplicably, as if someone had blown a breath, causing a palpitation.
He immediately became highly vigilant.
But soon, the misty true essence returned to normal, making him somewhat confused.
Just at this time, accompanied by the lingering sound, the curtains in front slowly lifted, and a pair of jade feet probed out...
Feng Yuanfa was immediately dry-mouthed, feeling his heart jumping up, blinking his eyes and murmuring: "Mistress... Mistress..."
He knew this was an illusion array and could realize that everything was a phantom, but the figure in front of him was truly too realistic, everything was clearly visible, making him feel hot all over, unable to extricate himself, and he really didn't want to blink his eyes.
Mistress smiled slightly at Feng Yuanfa and asked: "You have been peeking at Mistress since you were a child, haven't you?"
This voice was like weeping and complaining, whispering in Feng Yuanfa's ear. He could almost feel the panting brought by every word.
"I..." He didn't know what to say, the evil fire in his heart rising, unable to suppress it.
"Come, follow Mistress in. When you were a child, Mistress wiped your body when you bathed. Today Mistress is bathing, can you help Mistress too?"
"I can't... it's not allowed..." Feng Yuanfa opened his eyes wide, biting his lips and refusing: "This is fake, fake!"
But another voice emerged from the bottom of his heart: "Since it is fake, what does it matter if you take a look? What does it matter if you wipe it? It is illusory anyway..."
"Come, follow Mistress in..."
"It is not allowed, Master..."
Facing Mistress's repeated invitations, Feng Yuanfa finally guarded the remaining reason in his heart and dodged the jade arm Mistress stretched over.
Heaven knows how much his heart ached for this dodge.
Just as he was aching, heaven and earth suddenly changed, and the building and hall in front of him suddenly disappeared, and he returned to the dense forest in front of him.
He was stunned, and was suddenly shot by an arrow to his front. In the crisis, a group of light exploded on his body. It was the self-sacrificing protective magic talisman—the Han Guang Talisman, which he had sought from the Taiyuan Zongzhen Sect. One magic talisman could block a fatal blow.
Taking advantage of this time, he forcibly pulled his spirit back to reality and fought with the soft-armored cultivator.
After fighting for only a few moves, his eyes blurred again, and he was pulled into the illusion array by Liu Xiaolou again.
This time, Feng Yuanfa made up his mind, leaped out of the pavilion, went straight into the building hall, held a pair of judge's pens tightly in his palm, and prepared to break the "Mistress"!
It was just that as soon as he entered the building hall, his fighting spirit was softened by this lingering sound, and there was a smell in the hall that he couldn't explain, making his brain hot again, dry-mouthed, and facing Mistress's deep affection, he couldn't deliver the two judge's pens no matter what.
This time, if he hadn't bitten his tongue, he might have been dragged into the secret room behind by Mistress.
But he had just bitten his tongue to refuse Mistress's dragging, and was immediately pulled back to the reality of the dense forest, a group of Qi stuck in his chest, making people unable to go up or down, truly extremely uncomfortable.
At the same time, the double arrows shot again, triggering the second Han Guang Talisman on his body to automatically protect the master.
Then, he was pulled into the illusion array again, struggling to accept Mistress's third provocation.
When he guarded the bottom line in his heart with extremely tenacious willpower again, his consciousness almost collapsed. In this kind of confusion and depressed pain, he used up the last Han Guang Talisman.
Then, facing the next arrow of the soft-armored cultivator, he had no power to resist. ===== CHAPTER 315 =====
