Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 34 The truth of Taoyuan Town
"Brother Gu Xian, I have solved all the ghosts in this block!"

Ma Qin forcibly dispelled the messy thoughts in his mind, and at the same time walked towards Gu Xu's position with his head held high.

He feels that now he is finally not a bastard who can only lie down and win with Gu Xu's thighs - even if his performance is not as bright as Gu Xu, he should be able to use his solid swordsmanship to leave a big man from the capital. Nice impression.

"Nice job, Brother Ma!" Gu Xu turned his head and gave Ma Qin a thumbs up with a smile, "Let's go to the next block!"

Ma Qin's expression suddenly froze on his face.

He also hoped to take this opportunity to take a breath!
But Machin is a person who loves face after all.He felt that as a second-level cultivator, it was a very shameful thing to shout tired in front of Gu Xu.

So he nodded and tried his best to keep his energy up, ready to continue along the road by the river with Gu Xu.

Before they took a few steps, they heard the melodious and melodious bells ringing in the distant temple.

A awning boat floated slowly across the river, and the boatman sang a loud fishing song while propping up the pole.

A group of children wearing pants and shirtless, laughing and jumping into the water one by one to play.

An old woman quarreled with a vegetable vendor because of the sudden increase in the price of green vegetables.

"Brother Gu Xian, do you think the surrounding scene looks familiar?" Ma Qin hesitated for a few seconds and said to Gu Xu.

"More than 'familiar'?" Gu Xu said calmly, "It's almost exactly the same scene as what happened before."

As soon as he finished speaking, the shop assistant of a restaurant on the road suddenly ran up to the two of them, stared straight at Gu Xu, and said with great enthusiasm: "Guest officer, have you eaten? Our shop The wine and braised pork in the restaurant are the most famous in the whole street, and all the guests who have come here say they are delicious..."

Ma Qin stared at the shop's second, showing a ghostly expression.

Gu Xu ignored the shop assistant, but said to Ma Qin in a teasing tone: "Look, Brother Ma, the shop assistant has come to invite us to the restaurant that sells offerings from the dead again."

"This... Didn't this shop boy just die?" Ma Qin stammered.

Because he clearly remembered that all the ghost clerks in the restaurant just now had been completely buried in Gu Xu's "Tai Shang North Pole Demon Killing Talisman".

Could it be that the ghosts in Taoyuan Town are different from other places?Can it be resurrected even if it is burned to ashes?

This sounds too outrageous!

"He is indeed dead," Gu Xu said calmly, "but this Taoyuan Town is not a real place. Here, all things beyond the common sense, such as the cycle of time, such as the infinite weight of ghosts A reset is all possible.”

"Not a real place? What do you mean by that?" Ma Qin obviously didn't understand what he said.

But Gu Xu did not immediately explain, but instead asked: "Brother Ma, do you still remember the formula that Master Chu wrote on your jade pendant?"

Ma Qin thought about it for a while and replied, "'All appearances are false' - if I remember correctly, it should be this sentence."

"Actually, I have long thought that it is impossible for a big man in the capital to carve a nonsense on this jade talisman for no reason," Gu Xu paused for a moment, then continued, "Brother Ma, in my opinion, this sentence should not only enter the The formula for the illusion in the pot is a very important reminder to help us pass the assessment."

"hint?"

In the dark, a ray of light flashed in Ma Qin's head.

But just as he was trying to grasp this glimmer of inspiration, he felt that the thoughts in his mind were chaotic and could not be sorted out at all.

Seemingly aware of Ma Qin's confusion, Gu Xu explained with a faint smile:
"Since I entered Taoyuan Town, I have been observing every detail of my surroundings.

"Then I noticed that when we stayed in Taoyuan Town for half an hour, neither the position of the sun hanging in the sky nor the projection of these trees on the ground had changed at all.

"But in the real world, the morning sun will climb higher and higher with the passage of time, and the shadows of the trees will become shorter and shorter-obviously, the passage of time in Taoyuan Town is abnormal."

"You actually pay attention to these details!" Ma Qin was shocked.

After he entered Taoyuan Town, his mind was full of "killing ghosts, killing ghosts and killing ghosts", how could he care about such trivial matters as how long the shadows of trees were.

"My colleagues praised me as the man who pays the most attention to details in the Yishui Exorcism Division," Gu Xu smiled lightly, without being modest at all, "As long as I have seen things once, I basically can't forget them... Maybe this It's also a trouble!"

Seeing Gu Xu's indifferent expression, Ma Qin suddenly had the urge to punch him on his handsome face.

He tried hard to restrain his emotions, repeatedly admonished himself in his heart, "I, Ma Qin, is a magnanimous person, and I don't care about such trivial matters", and then continued to ask:
"However, Brother Gu Xian, I don't care if this world is real or fake, and I don't care what secrets this Taoyuan Town hides - I just want to complete the task as soon as possible and get out of here.

"It's just that if the ghosts here will continue to come back to life, wouldn't it be impossible for us to complete the task of 'killing all the ghosts in the illusion' in this lifetime?"

"No," Gu Xu shook his head gently, "I believe that the big figures in the Exorcism Department will not deliberately trick us. Perhaps, the ghosts that Master Chu asked us to solve are not these residents, but Taoyuan Town itself."

"What do you say?" Ma Qin narrowed his eyes.

Gu Xu explained:
"Just now, I did a divination with the "Six Lines Method" and got the hexagram of 'Heaven and Earth' - which means that Taoyuan Town is a world isolated from the outside world in time and space.

"Besides, after entering Taoyuan Town, I always felt that this place was too beautiful to be real. Now I know the reason - even with my observation and memory, I can't remember the faces of everyone here. They leave The images in my mind are all blurry.

"Brother Ma, I want to ask you a question: When you are dreaming, can you see the faces of the people in your dreams?"

Ma Qin thought for a moment, then nodded: "I really can't see clearly."

"So, Brother Ma, in fact, we are all in a dream now!" Gu Xu smiled and then said, "Where is there a peach garden in the world, it's just an ethereal dream."

As soon as his words fell, there was an earth-shattering roar in Taoyuan Town.
