seemingly illusory or real

In the misty forest, Guert felt like he was running around like a headless fly. In such a large forest, finding a house with visibility of only a few meters was almost impossible.

Guert sat cross-legged on the ground, remembering the method he had used in the blank world before, the power of Tianjuexin spread out in all directions, searching all over the forest, looking for any induction from the ambiguous consciousness, or Sufficiently strong power fluctuations.

After an unknown period of time, he found a wave in a certain corner of the forest, and gradually the outline became clear. It was a wooden house, and there was a small river in front of the house, with gurgling water, but he didn't know where it was going.

Just as Guert was about to take a closer look, his body shook suddenly, and the power induction was interrupted, but he had already remembered the location there, so he quickly opened his eyes and prepared to go there.

At this time, he suddenly found a "rustling" sound not far away, as if someone was coming, his heart tightened, and he thought to himself: Could it be Hongtianlai?

He hurriedly held his breath, leaned on the side, lifted the energy in his body, and sure enough, a person was walking towards this side in the thick fog, and slowly, the figure of that person appeared.

Guert saw the man's face clearly through the mist, and almost cried out in shock, but even so, he still trembled all over, and made a hissing sound when he touched the leaves next to him.

The man was startled and said, "Who? Come out!"

Guert pinched himself hard, it hurts, this is not a dream, it is real, but...how is this possible?

Isn't he in Qingritian's prison? How could Chongming, the highest heaven among the eighteen heavens in the realm of comprehension, appear?

This person turned out to be Hiroshi Guhara!

Guert stood up slowly, Gu Yuanhong's face relaxed, and said: "Xiao Gu, it's you!"

Gurt heard him call out his name, and the last thought of "this is just a phantom" disappeared, and he said in astonishment: "Father, why are you here?"

Gu Yuanhong seemed to have thought of something terrible, and said: "Hui Suxin rescued me from Qingritian, I wanted to see your mother, but Hui Suxin brought me here, saying that you are here Here, let me come to you."

Guert was startled, he almost forgot Hui Suxin, he couldn't help but said: "Where is she? How did she know I'm here? How did you get in?"

Gu Yuanhong had already walked in front of him, and said with a puzzled look: "I don't know either. She disappeared when I came here, so I came in to look for you, but I met a female killer who said she wanted to kill me, so I ran away in a hurry, I didn't expect to meet you."

Guert looked at Hiroshi Guhara, his appearance, demeanor, and tone, this was indeed Hiroshi Guhara himself, not pretending at all, he couldn't help being shocked and speechless.

Seeing his stupidity, Gu Yuanhong said displeasedly: "What's the matter? You don't want to see me? Do you still want me to stay in that black prison forever?"

Guert quickly denied it, Gu Yuanhong smiled and said: "Take me to see your mother, I haven't seen her for a long time, I really miss her."

Guert shook his head and said, "I still have things to do."

Gu Yuanhong was furious and said: "Your wings are stiff now, and I don't even listen to what I say. Take me to your mother!" Then he grabbed Guert's arm and walked in the direction he came from go.

Guert was in pain from being caught by him. Thinking of the experience of being beaten all the time in the past, a rebellious psychology surged in his heart, and he said, "I still need to find someone!" After speaking, he waved his arm.

With the help of Xi Qingsi, Gu Yuanhong barely reached the second level of cultivation. How could he be Guert's opponent? He was instantly shaken away, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.

Guert was about to speak guiltily, when Gu Yuanhong suddenly yelled angrily, "Good boy, dare to hit me!" As he spoke, he just sat up, when a murderous look suddenly appeared beside him, and a dark green light flashed. Flash, the light is extremely conspicuous in the white mist.

Guert hurriedly took out the blood lotus, but after all, he was still close. The ray of light came too suddenly, and he saw a blood arrow spurting out. Hiroshi Guhara was still standing, and his eyes were still widening because of his anger just now. But the head flew out, whirled in the air, and landed in front of Guert.

Guert let out a miserable cry, and the Blood Lotus Blade shook, and the bloody veins on the sword that were only faintly visible before became clear, forming the shape of a lotus flower, which is also the origin of the name of the Blood Lotus Blade.

But Guert couldn't care less, swiped his dagger, and vowed to kill the enemy with all his cultivation. This person should be the killer that Hiroshi Guhara just mentioned.

The blood lotus sword was raised, and the thick fog seemed to be scared away by the strong murderous aura, and the field of vision suddenly widened. Sure enough, there was a person standing not far away. With a flash of light, the blood lotus had already stabbed away.

"铛" sounded crisply, and the blood lotus collided with the opponent's long sword.

The man was obviously not as good as Guert, so he stepped back a few steps. Guert was so unreasonable, he swiped the blood lotus, and was about to kill him with one blow, when suddenly his blood lotus stopped in the air.

this killer...

Familiar figure, beautiful face, this is not Yuan Nuo, but the real Nuo Er!

The dense fog slowly gathered again, the man seemed to be panting for a moment, and leaped forward, instead he took the initiative to come up to him, wanting to compete with Guert.

Guert also saw this person clearly, and it was indeed Nuoer, with a hot figure, long brown hair, a straight pretty nose, and deep blue eyes, but at this moment, there was a murderous look in those eyes.

As the long sword slashed across, Guert felt a burning pain in his chest, which seemed to remind him that this was not a dream, this was the real world!

Guert snorted and stepped back, calling, "Nuoer, are you Nuoer?"

I saw a sneer on Nuo'er's beautiful face, and said: "I am indeed Nuo'er, do you remember me, you heartless person?"

Guert looked at Nuo'er sadly, and said, "Nuo'er, why did you become like this?"

Nuo'er's eyes were red, her pretty face twisted, and she said: "It was you who handed me over to them, and it was you who made me what I am now! I have been training and waiting every day, and I look forward to your coming, but you didn't !

"This time the underworld sent an assassination team to deal with you, I volunteered to come, and I must kill you with my own hands!"

As he spoke, he swiped the long sword and rushed towards Guert.

Guert was about to be tortured to the point of madness. He stared blankly at Nuoer who was rushing towards him, but instinctively blocked the attacking sword moves with the blood lotus. , and Guert was completely absent-minded, and was drawn several times by the long sword in a row.

Gurt finally couldn't take it anymore, the Blood Lotus Blade was blocked by a block, and he was shaken off his hand. He shouted in his heart: God, what's going on? If death can end, let it end quickly!

He closed his eyes, and the cold long sword had already pierced his heart. At this moment, there was a sudden clang, and Nuoer screamed in pain. Guert was startled, and hurriedly opened his eyes. Seeing a beautiful figure appear, Nuo'er vomited blood and fell not far away, the long sword broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.

Guert said in surprise: "Mom!"

It turned out that this beautiful figure was Xi Qingsi, Xi Qingsi let out a breath and said: "Fortunately, we caught up, otherwise it will cause a catastrophe."

"What's going on here?" Gould exclaimed.

Xi Qingsi smiled and said: "It's all right now, just now Yiyi informed me that something happened to you, so I rushed here, luckily I was in time."

Guert's mind was in chaos, he looked around blankly, and suddenly saw the head of Hiroshi Gu Yuan on the ground, and couldn't help saying: "Mother, father just now..."

Xi Qingsi looked at him with pity, and said: "Don't bother with him, he is not your father, if he dies, he will die, it is insignificant."

Guert's head seemed to be cracked, and he shouted fiercely: "Then who is my father?"

Xi Qingsi sighed suddenly and said, "Actually, I'm not your mother either..."

Guert only felt dizzy all around, and the several wounds Nuoer stabbed just now also hurt, and his whole body's perception suddenly became a hundred times more sensitive.

He yelled and passed out.

"Don't wake me up if you can."

Gurt kept circling this sentence in his mind, but reality was always against him.

Slowly, his consciousness awakened first, and the first thing he realized was the chaotic memory before, the chaotic encounter in the forest.

He didn't dare to open his eyes, until a voice said in surprise: "Why don't you open your eyes when you wake up?"

The voice was indifferent but full of majesty. Guert felt a little familiar to his ears, and hurriedly opened his eyes.

I saw an ordinary old man with gray and long hair sitting by the river fishing, with a thin face and a long gown, he was indescribably comfortable.

And he himself was lying on the grass in front of the house, the sunlight from the forest was shining on him through the leaves, making him feel warm.

He reluctantly sat up, swept the side, the blood lotus sword was placed beside him, just as he moved, suddenly there was pain in his chest, he looked down, and secretly called my mother, it turned out that the sword just now Everything is true.

I saw that the several sword wounds he was stabbed by Nuoer just now were all wrapped up with white cloth, but the pain was still unbearable. Guert was not afraid of these wounds, but what he was afraid of was that what happened just now was true, and seeing the wounds Still, his face suddenly turned ashen.

The gray-haired old man sitting by the river fishing is of course the highest-ranking Miu Mushi in today's cultivation world. Seeing Guert's expression, Mu Mushi laughed and said, "My kid, why does he act like this when he wakes up?" Depressed, come and see how my fish is doing."

Guert said weakly: "Your fish is fine, but mine is not."

The divine light shot out from Miu Mushi's eyes, and said: "It's fortunate that I arrived in time, otherwise you would be dead."

Guert thought about the situation just now, and it was indeed very dangerous. Although the wound on his body was still hurting, he still couldn't help but said: "Just now... were those just now real?"

Mu Mushi laughed and said, "Do you know what this place is called?"

Guert shook his head blankly, and Miu Mushi smiled and said, "This is called the 'Forest of Desire', and anyone with an impure heart cannot enter at all."

Guert's body shook violently, and then he said ecstatically: "Then what was just now was all fake? Isn't it real?"

Miu Mushi shook his head with a smile, and said, "You have to ask yourself this, I can't answer you."

Guert recalled that everything he experienced just now seemed to be incomparably real, especially the sword wounds on his body, which were obviously suffered just now, and the magical effect of the Heavenly Heart Sutra seemed to have no effect on these wounds. Can't be cured, is it... still in a dream?

He pinched himself hard, and yelled, this is not a dream, it's real!

Despair and decadence welled up in my heart.

Miu Mushi looked at Guert, complex expressions flashed in his eyes, he seemed to be hesitating and deciding on something.

Finally, he stood up, and Guert looked at him blankly, only to realize that although he was fishing while sitting, he didn't even have a fishing rod in his hand. He was curious in his heart, but the blow just now made him unable to speak. Interest is gone.

Mu Muzhi walked over and said with a smile: "You are already very powerful if you can save your life. Tell me, what do you come to me for?"

Guert was stunned, and said, "Has Hongtian come here?"

Mu Mushi hummed, and said, "I've been here."

Guert looked around, but there was no sign of a fight, and said, "Where's that person?"

Miu Mushi said, "Leaving again."

Guert was stunned, and said: "He killed Zhi Ruoyan, the high-ranking Guangming suffered heavy casualties, and now the group has no leader, so they all hope that you can show up."

Miu Mushi's eyes were flat, and he said: "I already knew if Ruoyan died, but no one can blame others, this is his own choice. And you did a good job when the dark demon passage appeared, if it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I'm leaving early."

Guert was stunned, and said in surprise: "Exit?"

Mu Muzhi smiled lightly, "That's right, I'm still retreating."

Guert looked around and said, "Aren't you fishing? When did you become a retreat?"

Mu Mushi smiled and said, "Fishing is also a retreat."

Guert was stunned, but he didn't bother to ask any more questions. He was in a daze, and the scene just now was still replaying in his mind. Finally, he seemed to have remembered something, and hurriedly stood up, saying: "I was unconscious just now. How far is it from here?"

Mu Mushi smiled, as if he knew what he wanted to do, and said, "It's not far, it's not close."

Guert said in amazement: "Where is that?"

Mu Muzhi suddenly pointed to his heart and said, "Here."

Gurt was startled, then came to his senses, and shouted, "Those were just hallucinations, weren't they?"

He originally wanted to go there to see just now, his father Gu Yuanhong's head should still be there, and those traces of fighting, if true, they should still be there.

Miu Muzhi sighed softly: "It seems real and illusion, the forest of desire will remind you of the true thoughts in your heart, leaving every scar."

Guert looked down at the torn clothes on his chest and the wounds inside, and said: "You mean, those things are all in my heart. It was just an illusion just now, but the scars left are all real. Yeah?"

Disappointment flashed across Miu Mushi's eyes, and said: "Forget it, you still haven't seen it through. It's true, it was all an illusion just now."

Gurt was finally relieved when he heard Mu Mushi's words, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's fine if it's a hallucination, it's fine if it's a hallucination, they're all fine." His complexion immediately recovered, and his eyes returned to their former brilliance .

Mu Mushi looked at him, smiled helplessly, and said, "Do you have any questions?"

Only then did Guert remember what they were talking about just now, and he couldn't help asking: "What did Hong Tian come here for? Where did he go? Where are his people?"

Miu Mushi said: "Tell me a few words, and then left. As for the others, I haven't seen them. I only saw two people during this time. One is him, and the other...is you."

Guert said in amazement: "I saw a lot of weapons along the way just now. Could it be that they left them?"

Mu Muzhi shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Guert suddenly felt that the highest rank in the cultivation world in front of him seemed to know nothing, or was he unwilling to say anything? But looking at Mu Muzhi, it seems that he is not such a person, so what is going on?

While he was wondering, Miu Mushi had already replied: "I don't care much about things other than cultivation. If I can forget it, I forget it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a burden?"

Guert said blankly: "Then the life and death of so many cultivators in the comprehension world below, don't you care?"

Miu Mushi smiled and said: "Of course I care, but you have sealed the ghost channel, and the penetration of the ghost world has already begun, and it is too late to intervene now."

Guert said in surprise: "Could it be that the underworld will eat up the entire cultivation world?"

Miu Muzhi shook his head and said, "The ghost world and the cultivation world are completely different systems. Although they have begun to infiltrate, it will take a long time to really enter.

"Also, the environment in the Nether Demon Realm is indeed very harsh, and the Earth Immortals can't sit still anymore. If this continues, the Nether Demon Realm may become extinct."

Guert was startled, and said: "Earth Immortal? Aren't they in the Immortal Realm? Are they also going to intervene in this matter?"

Miu Muzhi sighed softly: "This is not meddling, just to explain the situation, but the implication is obvious, they will not just sit and watch the ghost world go extinct, that is their root. It is like something happened in the realm of comprehension. The Sanxian will also help us, this is their root after all."

Guert muttered: "Ascetics, if you can't cut off the dust, isn't it because the six sense organs are not clean?"

Mu Muzhi was startled, and laughed, "You are so bold, you dare to say such things."

Guert shrugged, and said indifferently: "What are you afraid of, but sometimes I feel that the higher the cultivation level, the more I think about it, and the more thoughts I have. How can I practice well like this?"

Miu Mushi's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "These are two concepts. A cultivator does not mean cutting off everything, and having no desires does not mean being ruthless."

Guert's heart moved, and he said: "You just said that this place is called the Forest of Desire. Could it be that it is used to test your own desire?"

Mu Mushi nodded and said, "You obviously failed just now."

Guert thought about his reaction just now, his old face blushed, and said: "My cultivation base is low, this is normal."

Miu Mushi smiled and said, "It's great if you don't die, even if I walk over it, it won't be so smooth."

Guert widened his eyes and said, "Could it be that even you have..."

Miu Muzhi said calmly: "Of course, human beings are bound to have seven emotions and six desires. Having emotions does not mean having desires. As long as a person is still a human being, it will be difficult to get rid of these."

Guert was silent for a moment, and finally returned to the topic, saying: "The cultivation world is big enough, why has the cultivation world not allowed the underworld to enter?"

Miu Mushi said: "It's not that they are not allowed to enter, but that they have brought about great changes after entering, making it impossible for them to integrate into the cultivation world."

Guert asked in surprise: "What change?"
