Chapter 975 Fantasy

His eyes flashed as he swept across the empty hall again. The beetle in his palm flew up and headed straight for the stone tablet without words. However, it did not dare to approach the stone tablet. It circled around the stone tablet from a distance, then flew back to the palm of the black-robed monk and made a sound again. The black-robed monk's voice of extreme surprise rang out.
"What...someone actually came out of that stone tablet?"

The black-robed monk asked hurriedly,

"There are still two of them... where did they go?"

The beetle flew to the door that Gu Shiyi had opened. The black-robed monk flashed in front of the door and pushed it open. He saw a large lush primeval forest in front of him. The black-robed monk did not hesitate and flashed in...

At this time, Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan were standing in front of a large tree that could only be hugged by several people, with a puzzled look on their faces.

"Yan'er, does this place look familiar to you?"

Pu Yanlan also nodded.

"Like a wild place..."

Yes, it is like the wilderness. They had lived in the wilderness for several years. There were vast green fields and dense forests that stretched as far as the eye could see!
Gu Shiyi circled around the tree with a click of his tongue.
"It really seems like that... Yan'er... You were still in the Demon Realm at that time, so you didn't see it. I saw dead people buried in this tree in the wilderness. After being buried for a while, they came back to life... That was the sacred place of a village called Chizhu in the wilderness, and I accidentally broke into it..."

Gu Shiyi had also talked about these things before, and Pu Yanlan had some impression of them. She nodded when she heard them. As she listened, she suddenly felt something in her heart and turned her head. She saw a human face slowly emerging from the trunk of a large tree next to her that also required several people to hug!

This was a man's face, and his appearance was very similar to the barbarians she had seen before, with narrow eyes, a wide forehead, a big nostril, dark skin, and a somewhat sad expression. He slowly raised his eyelids, glanced at Pu Yanlan dimly, then slowly opened his mouth and sighed.

"Ugh……"

A sigh made Gu Shiyi's hair stand on end.

"you you you you……"

Gu Shiyi looked at the face on the tree and widened his eyes in surprise.

"Why are you here?"

Pu Yanlan raised her eyebrows.
"Eleven, have you seen it?"

Gu Shiyi pointed at the face on the tree and said,
"This... this is the person I saw on the tree when I first entered the wilderness. This is a dead person from the Red Pearl Tribe. After they died, they were sent into the tree using witchcraft. When the time comes, they will come back to life, but they will be dazed and a bit like zombies..."

Pu Yanlan already knew the reason behind this. It was because of the reincarnation in that wild land that the underworld had never intervened, so the people there could not enter the reincarnation after death, nor could they leave the wilderness, and could only stay in the city of death they built. The Chizhu clan used this method to create a reincarnation for themselves, but the people who were resurrected in this way were incomplete in spirit and could not be considered real living people!

Pu Yanlan raised her eyebrows when she heard this.
"Have you really seen it?"

Gu Shiyi nodded and pointed to his head.
"I have a good memory. That person sighed in the tree in the same way at that time. It scared me a lot, so I still remember it now..."

Pu Yanlan lowered her head and thought,

"Eleven, I think there is something strange here. Why is there such a wild scene in the Hall of Ten Thousand Immortals? Not only that... there is even a person in the tree who is exactly the same as the one in your memory..."

After thinking for a while he said,
"There must be something strange here..."

I thought about it again and asked again,

"Just before the man in the tree appeared, you mentioned the scene you saw it in the wilderness?"

Gu Shiyi recalled and nodded.

"Indeed!"

Hearing this, Pu Yanlan lowered her head and thought for a while, then said seriously,

"Eleven, I have some doubts that this is an illusion. From now on, the two of us should talk less. It would be best if we don't talk at all!"

Gu Shiyi didn't ask why, he just nodded, looked around, and asked with his eyes,
"What do we do now?"

Pu Yanlan looked around and made a gesture.
"go!"

Just as the two were about to move forward, they heard the man in the tree sigh again.

"Are you just going to leave me here like this?"

He spoke the language of the barbarians. Gu Shiyi had studied it seriously in the wilderness. He felt his back tighten when he heard it.
"Strange!"

She turned around and looked at the face in the tree. Without saying anything, she heard the face say,

"I'm already alive...why don't you take me away?"

The two remained silent. The man's face became angry when he saw this.
"Why don't you take me away... I'm alive... I'm alive... I'm obviously alive..."

As he was speaking, a hand suddenly stretched out from the tree trunk. It was a thick and pale hand with bulging veins. There was no flesh on it. It was just skin and bones. It went straight to Gu Shiyi's face and grabbed him. Gu Shiyi didn't say anything, but the strange sword on his back moved.

"Om..."

The sword flashed, and the hand was severed at the wrist. It fell to the ground with a thud, but it still stubbornly crawled towards Gu Shiyi.

"Take me away...Take me away..."

The man on the tree was still shouting. Gu Shiyi took a few steps back and looked at the severed hand that was still crawling towards him.

"What on earth is this?"

Pu Yanlan frowned and said puzzledly,
"This looks like... a fantasy, but not a fantasy at the same time. It's a bit weird!"

After saying that, he cut the pale hand into two again, but the scattered fingers still squirmed and crawled towards Gu Shiyi. Gu Shiyi thought it was too disgusting, so he opened his mouth and spit out a wisp of true spirit fire.
"call……"

But in the blink of an eye, the finger, the severed palm, and the roaring tree were all burned to ashes...

The big tree turned into ashes, and the whole forest immediately became quiet. The two stood there waiting for a long time, but there was no movement. Pu Yanlan was very confused, and she couldn't figure it out after thinking about it.
"Let's go!"

After they walked through a small forest, they heard the sound of water splashing against the shore. A large lake appeared before them, and a small town shrouded in mist loomed in the distance...

This is exactly the small town of the Witch God Temple! The two looked at each other, raised their eyebrows, and Gu Shiyi thought to himself,

"Fuck, will the witch god from underground jump out and let us fight the monster again?"

Pu Yanlan obviously thought of this as well, and immediately stopped. The two of them stood on the shore, and saw boats coming and going on the lake, with people fishing. Pu Yanlan thought of the fishing boats that were frozen on the shore, and the city residents who were stiff on the fishing boats...

Gu Shiyi finally couldn't help it and asked in a low voice,
"What kind of path is this?"

Pu Yanlan shook her head,
"There are still some things I haven't figured out..."

The two were standing there in confusion when suddenly a gust of wind blew behind them. They both sensed it at the same time and looked back. They saw that the forest behind them had disappeared and a very magnificent building had appeared. It had flying eaves, brackets, high walls and a large gate. There were also a few glittering large characters on the gate. They were ancient characters. Gu Shiyi couldn't understand it. Pu Yanlan whispered,

"Shen Yu Zong!"

Just as he finished reading the three words, he saw the door creak open, and many young men and women in black robes filed out. Among the last few people, one or two looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, weren't they the black-robed men who were killed by the two men earlier?

The black-robed man turned around, and another black-robed man came up to him. Judging from his appearance, the one who came later was the black-robed monk who captured the three Phoenix clan members. The two of them walked out of the crowd together, bowed to the young men and women, and said goodbye. Everyone said in unison,
"Send it to Senior Brother and Second Brother!"

The two returned the greeting, turned around and patted the bag on their waists, and released two tall and mighty lions with horns on their heads. The two lions flipped over, and the two lions shook their fur, roared, and their four claws flew into the air and turned into two rays of light, running towards the distance...

Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan looked at each other, both puzzled.
"How on earth is this played?"

Just as she was wondering, suddenly two beams of light flew over from the distant sky. Pu Yanlan looked up and saw that they were two horned lions and two black-robed men on their backs.

After thinking for a while, he reached out and pulled Gu Shiyi. The two of them took the three people from the Phoenix Clan and hid to one side. They hid their bodies and breaths. They hid to one side. Then they saw the two lions flying to the lakeside. After landing, they were put into the waist of the black-robed man. The black-robed man who appeared behind him looked at the scene for a long time and said coldly,

"So this is their fantasy world? Which world did they come from... How could there be such a wild and desolate place..."

After saying that, he turned to look at the black-robed man beside him and sighed.

"Brother, although you have already left, I didn't expect to see you in this Illusion Palace... If you are here... then we will join forces to destroy their illusion..."

The brother nodded.
"Let me find out their true strength!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and released a palm-sized green beetle. The beetle fluttered and flew away in an instant, flying towards the other side of the lake...

Before the green worm flew far, a wizard with tattoos all over his face came out from a fishing boat in the lake and shouted,

"Who dares to invade my temple?"

After saying that, he rubbed his hands together, and a stream of fire came out and rushed towards the green worm. The green worm was accidentally burned and turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared. The senior brother here was shocked and angry when he saw this. He roared, walked to the shore, and stretched his hand into the lake. He saw several waves passing through the lake. He didn't know what was released and rushed towards the fishing boat. In just a moment, the fishing boat shook violently, and the wizard on the boat shouted,
"Someone come! The enemy is coming!"

But his body suddenly swayed and he fell into the water. As soon as he entered the water, several colorful monster snakes entangled him.

"Ah ah ah..."

Screams spread across the lake, and in the blink of an eye, the wizard on the boat turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared...

At this time, the people in the small town over there were also alarmed. Several wizards riding on giant birds flew out of the city and saw the situation in the lake. They shouted angrily and pounced on the two men in black robes. When they met, they started fighting without saying a word...

Gu Shiyi was completely confused and was about to step out to take a closer look.
"What exactly is going on?"

Pu Yanlan shook her head, held her shoulders and said,
"Don't act rashly, take another look!"

Just like that, the two of them hid and watched the two sides fighting. The two black-robed men were beast tamers, and they had countless kinds of monsters and insects in their hands. Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan had seen the strength of the small town over there. The two sides fought hard and fiercely, but in the end... the wizards in the small town still had the upper hand because of their numbers. The senior brother was not careful and was hit by the green light of the scepter in the hand of a wizard. The eldest brother screamed and his entire right arm quickly withered and shrunken. It was also the junior brother who saw the opportunity quickly and raised his hand into a claw to grab the necrotic right arm, which saved the eldest brother's life...

But after being injured, the eldest senior brother let out a wild scream, suddenly fell over, and then turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared!
Illusion!

Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan looked at each other and were about to speak when they saw the junior brother snorted coldly and shouted,

"Brother, why don't you come out quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another person stood up from the place where the senior brother disappeared. It was still the eldest senior brother, but he had all his limbs intact and was unharmed. The eldest senior brother roared, raised his hand and waved his sleeves, and countless green beetles flew out from his sleeves and rushed towards the wizards on the opposite side...

Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan stared in amazement. Gu Shiyi asked in a low voice,

"That's not right, Yan'er... This is not an illusion. If it were an illusion, the person would have died and the illusion would have been broken, so he should have disappeared. Why did he appear again?"

Pu Yanlan lowered her head and thought for a long time before she slowly said,

"This is not an ordinary illusion!"

After thinking for a while, he said,
"...The fox clan is mostly from the Qingqiu clan, who are gifted with supernatural powers and superb illusions. The nine-tailed fox is the best, and can move people's minds and thoughts, and create the realm of heaven and earth..."

She turned her head and glanced at Gu Shiyi.

"Eleven, I heard what the black-robed man said. I also read some of it in ancient books, so I guessed about 80% of it..."

After thinking for a while he said,

"…This hall should be an illusion created by the Nine-tailed Sky Fox. As soon as we enter it, we are already trapped. Everything here is created by sensing what we think and mixing it with our memories. If we want the illusion to disappear, the person who enters it must die and not be tempted by anything!"

"How?"

Gu Shiyi was shocked.

"This person is dead, so it doesn't make any difference whether he comes out of the illusion or not!"

After thinking for a while he said,
"That's not right, Yan'er... this is our illusion, so why did those two men in black robes appear?"

In theory, all the scenes before were experienced by the two of them. The illusion sensed their thoughts and created a wilderness, but they had never seen the two men in black robes. How did they get out?

Pu Yanlan smiled bitterly and said,

"This is where the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox's power lies. Its illusions are all born from the heart. When the heart dies, the illusion disappears. As long as there is someone in the illusion, the illusion will not stop..."

"You mean... the man in black robe is here too?"
