Chapter 163 Hallucination
But, since no one lives here, where did this courtyard come from, and why did she feel the evil energy coming from it?
Jiang Liqian lowered her gaze and continued to look at the spiritual crystal.
The beetle was still crawling inside and was about to crawl over a threshold that was not closed tightly when suddenly, the spirit crystal dimmed, followed by two "click" sounds.
The spirit crystal shattered in her hand.
Jiang Liqian was shocked and immediately used all her spiritual power to retreat.
It was discovered!
A terrifying pressure quickly swept towards her. Jiang Liqian felt as if her dantian was being violently stirred by something. She didn't even have a chance to resist. She fell heavily to the ground. The pain made her eyes go black and she lost consciousness for a moment.
In the blur, she vaguely saw a person coming out of the courtyard gate and walking towards her step by step calmly.
Jiang Liqian tried hard to get up, and tried desperately to pull the Soul-Suppressing Pearl at her waist with one hand, but the terrifying pressure pressed down on her so hard that she couldn't even move a finger.
What kind of cultivation is this?
Nascent Soul? Transformation? Return to the Abyss? Or Fusion?
No.
Or, has reached Mahayana!
"You..." The smell of blood rushed out of her throat. She suppressed the bloody smell in her mouth and spat out each word with difficulty, "Who are you?"
She saw the figure raise his hand towards her, and then a blanket of black mist rushed towards her eyebrows.
She slowly dilated her pupils.
"Jiang Liqian, Jiang Liqian, wake up, wake up quickly!
"Jiang Liqian, wake up!"
Jiang Liqian suddenly opened her eyes and sat up straight.
The chilling evil spirit seemed to be approaching her with death. She sat there in a daze until a sweet floral scent reached her nose, and she came back to her senses from the shadow of death.
A petal brushed her cheek and fell. She blinked her eyes and it took a long time before she heard someone calling her name.
"Jiang Liqian, Jiang Liqian, are you okay?
"Do you still recognize me?
"What number is this?"
Jiang Liqian turned her head and looked sideways at the person who spoke.
The man was stretching out a hand with five fingers spread out, right in front of her eyes.
"Five," she said.
The man nodded and gestured another number.
Jiang Liqian glanced at him and said, "Eight."
The man nodded in relief: "My brain should be fine."
Then he walked towards her: "Do you want me to help you up?"
Jiang Liqian then realized what was happening and took a look at where she was.
A beautiful flower garden full of flowers.
And she was half lying in the middle of the flower bed, covered with flower petals, and the corners of her clothes were stained with red and yellow flower juice.
Jiang Liqian stared at the flowers for a long time before her brain finally remembered that this was the flower garden she passed by before discovering the strange courtyard.
She also thought the flowers smelled pleasant.
Why is she lying here?
Wasn't she exploring the courtyard with white walls and green tiles and then was discovered?
He looked down at his disheveled appearance and realized that he was lying there peacefully. He most likely fell in headfirst.
Jiang Liqian, full of doubts, subconsciously picked a flower and stared at it intently.
"Um..." Sun Li coughed and reminded her, "There's a bug crawling on your shoes."
Jiang Liqian was stunned, and her eyes glanced at her muddy shoes.
Sure enough, there was a small bug tirelessly drilling into her shoe.
She couldn't tell where the chill came from, and she immediately shot out a ball of spiritual power. The insect was instantly knocked ten meters away and fell to the ground, twitching and crackling.
Sun Li looked at Jiang Liqian's series of actions, and suddenly felt his scalp tighten, and he silently took a step back.
Cultivators with mutated spiritual roots are indeed more brutal!
Jiang Liqian also came back to her senses and realized that her reaction just now was too big.
"Excuse me, give me a hand." She forced a smile at Sun Li.
It wasn't that she couldn't get up, but her legs were still shaking, and she was afraid that she would fall down again, which would be too embarrassing.
Just now, the feeling of powerlessness and fear as if she was just a mayfly facing the huge waves and the overwhelming pressure from the mountains still lingered in her heart and could not be dispelled for a long time.
The only time she had this feeling was in her previous life, when the Immortal Master Qingzhi wanted to shatter her Nascent Soul and pull out her immortal bones. She could not resist or escape no matter what.
She didn't understand. Could it be that everything she had just encountered was fake?
Is the fake so realistic?
Sun Li was also worried that the little girl would have a hard time getting out, so he quickly came over to help her up and out of the flower garden.
"Just now..." Jiang Liqian asked him hesitantly, "Did you see anything? Do you... know why I..."
Although she didn't finish her words, Sun Li understood her confusion.
"This is the Miscanthus flower. It tastes best when used to cook the meat of the black panther monster." Sun Li walked to the edge of the flower bed, took out a small bamboo basket from the storage bag, picked a lot of Miscanthus flowers and put them in it.
"The petals of the Miscanthus flower are soft, the juice is sweet, and the fragrance is pleasant, but the Miscanthus flower has a function that other flowers do not have, and that is to induce dreams."
"Into a dream?" Jiang Liqian was stunned.
Did she just fall asleep and have a horrible nightmare?
absurd!
"It's not what you think." Sun Li smiled. "Actually, this kind of dreaming can also be understood as hallucination. It can create illusions from deep within a person's heart, drawing them deeply into it."
"However, this is a very unfortunate occurrence. The Miscanthus flower needs the last ray of sunlight to shine on its six petals at sunset, and there are exactly six flowers forming a hexagon. And at this time, someone happens to pass by them and smell the fragrance for more than six seconds before they fall into the illusion."
Sun Li coughed and added, "This place is remote. Apart from the disciples from Taotie Peak who come here to pick some petals to cook, it's unlikely that any other disciples would happen to pass by here and get caught. I don't know... cough cough, maybe your luck is really bad."
Jiang Liqian twitched the corner of her mouth.
Her luck was indeed not very good, but she could still distinguish between illusion and reality. It was absolutely impossible for her to have entered an illusion just now.
Because she had never seen such a courtyard, nor had she seen that blurry person.
It was also very simple to prove that she was not trapped in an illusion - she tentatively went to the storage bag to look for the beetle and spirit crystal used for exploration.
But, she really found it.
Moreover, the spirit crystal was intact and not broken as she had seen.
The eldest brother only gave her one of this beetle and spiritual crystal, so there would be no second one exactly the same.
Jiang Liqian was shocked and frightened, and hurried to look at her jade token again - it was empty, and there was no message she had conveyed to her master and third senior sister.
