Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 26 Breaking the Illusion
Tangning suddenly looked at the dark horse under her. When had she ever tied the horse at the door of her house?

Liu Ruhan pulled his hand, Tangning looked at her and shook her head again, pulling her onto the horse. She felt like she had dropped something along the way.

The two came to Cui Yilin's room in the caravan's backyard, knelt down and bowed to him a few times.

Cui Yilin smiled and pulled the two of them up: "No need to be more polite, you are happy now that you are married and become your teacher."

After the master and apprentice exchanged some greetings, Tangning brought Liu Ruhan to call on several uncles and senior brother Qi Yunfei in turn.

When he got home, he met Gu Chengqian again and saw Tangning, he ran over with a smile on his face, "Hey, Tangning, I ordered a table of wine at Cuixianlou today, remember to eat it tonight!"

"I won't go, you can eat it yourself!" Tangning looked at Liu Ruhan with a look of embarrassment.

"How about that? Today's wine is specially prepared for you. It's not just me, but the brothers of the caravan, as well as some people from Li Jinmian. On the happy day of your marriage, we invite you to dinner and you don't give face. what?"

"Okay then! I'll be there later."

In the evening, a group of people pushed the cups for a change, and the lights of the cups were intertwined. Tangning looked at Gu Chengqian and Li Jinmian's group, and some vague memory fragments flooded into her mind.

He vaguely saw a young man kneeling in front of a man covered in blood with a knife blade in hand, and then saw this young man walking in the rain, expressionless, and saying something to him, while there was a man lying beside him, but he looked at him. I don't know the faces of these people.

When she woke up the next day, she was in a familiar room again. Tangning looked at the swaying bamboo shadow outside the window. The more she looked, the more she felt that something was wrong. After a while, Liu Ruhan woke up, and he was addicted to the gentle village again.

The days passed, and it was five years in a flash. Tangning rubbed her hands and walked anxiously outside the door. Gu Chengqian patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be nervous, it's alright, this midwife is the most experienced in this county. Nothing will go wrong."

Tangning nodded and smiled reluctantly. She was still anxious. From time to time, he went to the door to listen to the movement, but he couldn't hear anything.

After a long time, a baby's cry cut through the peaceful night sky. Tangning was so excited that she hurried to the room.

Just as he was about to open the door, a crisp and pleasant sound of wind chimes suddenly sounded in his ears. He stopped for a moment and looked back at everything around him in a daze. He vaguely remembered that someone once told him, The bell rang, and everything was empty.

"Tangning, what's wrong with you? What are you still doing here? Didn't you hear? The child was born," Gu Chengqian said.

Tangning stared at him blankly, this familiar face became a little blurry.

"Did you hear the bell?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? What bell? You're not stupid!"

Tangning didn't answer, she just stared at him without moving, and some vague fragments appeared in her mind.

"The murderer behind the [-] members of my family is your master Cui Yilin."

"Tangning, I said, you are my only friend, hurry up and go to Yi Zong, maybe you will still have a chance to meet her."

The blurry picture became clearer by bit. The young man walked over the threshold and said in a low voice, "Tangning, take care."

…………

"Congratulations to Mr. Tang, mother and child are safe." The door opened, and the midwife came out with a baby in her arms.

Tangning looked at the crying baby, and at Liu Ruhan, who was sweating profusely in the room, and felt extremely weak.

The midwife handed the baby to him, and Liu Ruhan looked at him and the baby in her arms with a happy smile on her face.

Tangning walked in like a puppet.

In the following months, he devoted himself to the mother and son, and Liu Ruhan's body slowly recovered. Gradually, he gave up his job in the caravan and opened a restaurant with the money he had on hand. Because he was a disciple of Cui Yilin, And after working in the caravan for so many years, he is familiar with the caravan brothers, and everyone is very supportive of him, and his business is very good.

In this way, several years passed. During this time, he always thought of some vague pictures in his mind, which he could not see clearly or hear clearly.

"Tangning." Hearing someone call him, he turned around and saw Gu Chengqian standing there, looking at him strangely

"What happened to you? I called you four or five times and you ignored me?"

"Oh, I was a little distracted, I didn't pay attention," Tangning said with a smile.

"You've been like this all this time, are you okay?"

"I don't know what's going on, I always feel like I forgot something, a very important thing."

"Hey, let me tell you something, take your wife and Yi'er to Nanjiao tomorrow to play, my family Xin'er is always pestering me to take her there, I just want to take their mother and daughter to play, let's go together as a family. Hey, you are just relaxing, don't be nervous all day long."

Tangning thought for a while, "Okay!"

The next day, a family of six, two carriages headed for the southern suburbs.

Tangning sat in the carriage and held Liu Ruhan's hand, holding her son Tang Yi. The boy looked very similar to him, and his eyebrows and eyes were very similar to him.

"Dad, when will you teach me to practice swordsmanship! I want to learn swordsmanship."
"Not yet! How old are you! Dad will teach you in a few years."

"Father, I don't want to sleep alone, can I sleep with you all?"

"No, the man has to sleep alone."

"Then why do you sleep with your mother every day, I want to sleep with my mother too."

The carriage stumbled all the way to the southern suburbs. Tangning took Liu Ruhan's little hands and hugged her son out of the carriage. She put her son down, "Let's play with Xiner!"

Tang Yi happily jumped all the way to Gu Chengqian's family, took the little girl's hand and left.

Gu Chengqian and his wife laughed and said, "Xin'er heard that Yi'er was also here yesterday, but she was very happy and made a fuss all night."

The four of them chatted and laughed all the way behind the two children. At noon, Tangning saw the two children were still playing by the pond, so she went over to invite them to dinner.

The two children were making a noise by the pond, making a splash.

"What are you doing?" Tangning asked with a smile as she walked up to them and crouched down.
"Dad, look at that flower, I can't pick it." Xiao Tang Yi pointed at the reflection in the water and said with a milky voice
"Silly boy, that's a reflection, it's fake, look, that flower is on it!" Tangning pointed to the flower on the tree.

Seeing the beautiful flowers and the reflection in the water, he suddenly remembered something.

There was a crisp sound of bells in his ears, he passed his hand through the water curtain, ripples appeared on the water surface, and intermittent fragments of memory emerged in his mind

"Mirror Flower, Shuiyue."

"Why don't you go?" Gu Chengqian came over and picked up a child in one hand: "Let's go, let's go to dinner!"

"Hey, Tangning, how about we get a baby to kiss?"

Gu Chengqian walked forward with his two children in his arms. Seeing that he was still in a daze, he asked, "What are you doing there! Why haven't you come over yet?"

"I can't go anymore." Tangning turned to look not far away at her gentle figure.

Everything in front of him gradually blurred, until everything in the field of vision disappeared.

Tangning opened her eyes again, and the world in front of her was utterly gray. He was a little surprised. How could he come here? He remembered that he had not been in this dream for many years.

I have clearly seen through the illusion just now, and I should return to the Mortal Transformation Pond!
Or is this still an illusion?

Before he could figure out what was going on, the surrounding gray fog surged up and swarmed towards his body.

"Ah!" The gray mist penetrated into his body. Tangning felt her body swell and was about to explode. After a loud cry, she lost consciousness.

..............................

Outside the Slaughtering Fan Pool, the man in Tsing Yi watched as the crimson pool in the pool calmed down. He fainted after hearing Tangning shout out. He lifted the restraint of the pool and frowned as he saw Tangning who had fallen into a coma.

Seeing the man in Tsing Yi helping Tangning out, Mo Ruting hurriedly asked, "Senior Brother Xu, what's wrong?"

"It's a success, it's not a big deal, maybe it's because of fighting against the illusion, I'm exhausted, and I fainted." The man in Tsing Yi didn't know why this happened, and said casually: "It's very dangerous when you deviate, calm your soul. It took Ling ringing three times before he escaped from the illusion, and he should be fine after taking it back to cultivate for a few days."

"Oh, then I'll take him away."

Tangning woke up in a daze and found herself lying in a familiar room. He stood up and pushed open the door to look at the disciples in dark clothes in the distance. He saw the people who were struggling on the stone steps, and the familiar figures who gritted their teeth and persisted under the waterfall.

This time it shouldn't be an illusion!It's just that he shouldn't be in the Mortal Transformation Pond?How come here.

Just when his mood changed, he suddenly found that he was different from usual. He could actually see clearly the people on the stone steps and the figures washed by the water under the waterfall, not only his face, but also his face. You can even see the subtle expressions on their faces.

He closed his eyes and calmed down, and he could even hear the sound of insects hidden in the ground and the things that were buried in the darkness that were about to burst out of the ground. It was the breath of green grass.

This world doesn't seem to be the same as it used to be...

He could feel something like substance surging around him. He tried to touch these things, and these things rushed towards his body.

After entering the body, he wandered around in his body, swimming along every meridian, and the place he passed was warm and extremely comfortable.
