C167

Wu Xiudao searched the wall but to no avail. He felt his knees go weak and he kneeled to the ground. He exclaimed, "Is there really such a strange thing in this world?"

Seeing that he had lost his soul, he quickly let go of Ge Hua Qing and ran over. He then asked, "Hall Master, what's wrong?"

"We can't get out, we can't get out!" Wu Weidao's face seemed to have aged a lot. "We were toyed with to death by this ceremony!"

"Huh?" He couldn't help but take two steps back as he stared at the wall. He could not help but curse, "Damn it! Every time you do this, it's just too infuriating! "

As he said this, he rushed over and smashed the wall with his fist. Even though his arm had been broken, the wall was still as cold and heavy as before!

"Save your strength!" Wu Xiangdao smiled bitterly. "We still have to walk on the Road to River Styx."

"I can't accept this!" "I still have a lot of things to do!"

"Am I satisfied?" Wu Weidao choked with pain, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come here even if I were to die!"

"Ai!" He let out a long, dejected sigh. In a blink of an eye, he looked at Ge Huanqing who was crawling on the ground and said, "Dao Master Ge, you come as well. If the three of us are going to die together, then we'll die together.

Ge Huajing smiled awkwardly and asked, "How do I get past this?"

"Just you wait, I'll carry you over!" He could not help but grumble in his heart as he said: "You smelly old Daoist, you always like to put on a show and act all the time, boasting that you know everything. But now that you're trapped here, you can't think of any tricks."

Hearing this, Ge Hua Qing helplessly shook his head and sighed. "I originally wanted to gather more information about King Wu's Earth Palace, but Hall Master couldn't wait to see Wu Wang. How can you blame me?"

"Pfft!" Could it be that you have pushed all the responsibility onto the hall master? " A series of cold laughs rang out.

"Sigh!" If only we had a little more time, we might not be in such a sorry state! " Ge Hua-Qing sighed.

"It's useless to say anything now. We should just wait for death!" As he finished his words, he bent down to carry Ge Hua Qing on his back. Then, he turned around and walked towards Wu Xiudao in large strides.

The three of them quickly gathered together. Then, they sat on the ground in a dejected manner with their backs against the cold wall, each of them thinking about their own matters!

The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became. He could not help but jump up and point at Wu Wang's coffin and scold him, "It's all because of this old man. He caused us to be like this, we can't let him get away with it! "

"What do you want?" Ge Huajing asked.

"Break his head and turn the world upside down! Let him have a taste of being tortured!" After a while, a vicious light could not help but shoot out from his eyes, "Who knows, we might really escape from here!"

"I beg of you, calm down for a moment! If we do as you say, I'm afraid we'll die even faster! " Ge Hua Qing said with a bitter face.

"It would still be better than staying here and waiting for death!" After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves. "How is it? Do you dare to do it? "

"F * ck!" Wu Weidao also stood up from the ground, "We came here to see him, and now we finally have the chance to see his true face. How can we give up so easily?"

"Hall Master, he's messing around. Why are you teasing him as well?" Ge Huajing asked.

"If I don't see Wu Wang die right here, I won't be able to accept it!" Wu Weidao replied coldly. Then, he started to walk towards Wu Wang's coffin.

"Hall Master, once we open the coffin later, I will definitely take off that old brat's head. I want to see if his head has really been chopped off by someone?" As he continued talking, he quickly caught up with Wu Weidao.

When he finally arrived in front of the sarcophagus, Wu Youdao reached out to touch the lid of the sarcophagus. He felt a chill down his spine and asked: "Could there be a mechanism in this sarcophagus?"

"I don't think so!" After a series of knocks on the coffin lid, he said, "Hall Master, stand by the side and let me push it to see its effect!"

Wu Xiudao immediately dodged to the side and warned, "Be careful!"

Nodding his head, Wu Xiangdao took advantage of the faint light emitted by the Night Pearl to carefully examine the stone coffin. Then, he stretched out both of his hands from the top of the coffin and secretly gathered his strength, and with a "ha" sound, he suddenly pushed out his palms, pushing the coffin lid to the ground!

Even he blinked his eyes in surprise and asked involuntarily, "What's going on? Isn't that too simple? "

He saw that there was a coffin inside the sarcophagus, and it was actually made out of fine sandalwood. There were many carvings of dragons and wind, and the fine details were all wrapped in gold powder, making the coffin look even more luxurious and elegant. He tried to touch it, only to hear Ge Huanqing in the distance cry out, "Don't do it! There's poison on the sarcophagus!"

When Wu Weidao heard this, he couldn't help but jump in fright. He quickly retracted his hand and looked at Ge Huanqing, "Daoist Master Ge, how do you know that there's poison on this coffin?"

"The lid of the sarcophagus was easily opened by you guys. Don't you think you're not surprised?" Ge Hua Qing smiled bitterly. "If it's just this kind of defense, doesn't that mean that everyone will be able to see Wu Wang's appearance?"

"You mean the real thing is that the box is covered with poison?" Wu Weidao asked.

Ge Hua Qing nodded his head and said: "Exactly!"

"Then what should we do? Are we just going to let this old fogey off like this? " He asked indignantly.

"I can wrap my hands with clothes and open the wooden coffin inside. I believe I can avoid this poison!" Ge Hua Qing said.

When Wu Weidao heard him say that, he immediately pulled down a piece of cloth from the front of his robes and wrapped his hands with it. He then extended his hand in an attempt to lift the coffin's lid to see what was inside, but at this time, he heard a faint cry from a deer in the middle of the hall, echoing all the way to the ceiling.

After a series of attempts to find the two deer, he saw that they were still standing motionless in front of the horse's head. He tried to listen, but felt that the sound did not come from them, so he asked with a frown, "Where does this sound come from? Why is it so strange? "

Wu Xiangdao immediately retracted his hand, and looked around the hall, only to see a faint blue flame slowly lighting up in the darkness. In a flash, it disappeared, and just as he was surprised, he suddenly saw that the entire hall was lit up with even more flames, which were still a dim blue color.

It turned out that there were actually two troughs near the two walls of the hall. No one knew where the water came from, but there was a steady stream of it, and many of those glimmers came from the water. Of course, there were also some from the four walls of the hall.

At this time, the color of the light changed and instantly became a fiery red. The feeling of slowly turning from blue to red was like a beautiful image of light waves.

The light flickered and then went out. It seemed very regular, but it was so unpredictable. Wu Weidao couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Is this the star falling from the sky?"

"It's too possible!" He rubbed his hands together in shock, "Is the water over there Yin He?" Do we really have to ascend to the Immortal Realm? "

"Stop dreaming!" Ge Hua-Qing coughed lightly. "Those glowing objects are not stars, but flame scallops!"

"Blazing Bei?" Even he was slightly taken aback. "What kind of thing is that?"

"This is a type of shellfish that can emit light. I've only seen it in books, but I didn't expect it to appear here!" "This is incredible!"

"Smelly old Daoist, from what you're saying, is everything that's happening before us still real?" He asked immediately.

"It should be!" "As far as I know, there shouldn't be such a thing in the sky!"

After hearing that, he couldn't help but look at Wu Weidao and whisper: "Did you hear that? We haven't become immortals yet! "

Wu Weidao heard this and went around the carriage. He touched his chin and thought about it carefully, then he looked at the walls, only to see that there were a lot of crystal-like objects on the walls that happened to reflect the light more brilliantly. He suddenly thought of something and said, "I understand!"

"What do you understand?" He asked in surprise.

"I know why we saw the carriage and the sarcophagus outside. This is clearly an illusion!" Wu Xiangdao tried to analyze.

"Illusion? What kind of illusion technique is this? " He asked immediately.

"At first, when we saw the carriage and the sarcophagus, we instinctively assumed that they belonged to Wu Wang. But what we didn't expect was that they were only illusions, and the real items were actually here!" Wu Weidao analyzed.

"That's not right, right?" He scratched his head and said, "The situation at that time was so real, we even saw two immortal deer run out and circle around the carriage. How could this be an illusion?"

Wu Weidao smiled calmly and said, "This is all due to the crystals on the wall!"

"Crystal?" After a moment, he was so shocked that his eyes became wide open. "Hall Master, just tell me the truth. My brain is unable to think of such a complicated matter!"

"Have you heard of mirage?" Wu Weidao asked.

"Yes." It seems to be a virtual world, and everything inside seems to be real. However, I am unable to touch it with my hands, and if I search carefully, I will definitely find a place that is exactly the same as the place where the illusions occurred! " After a while.

"That's right! We just encountered this Mirage today! " Wu Weidao smiled bitterly, "Do you still remember the colorful cloud that flew over your head when you first saw the carriage?"

"I remember that a layer of water vapor rose from the two sides of the silver soup before condensing into a colorful cloud and circling back and forth above the horse's head. I thought it was trying to summon something! Is there a problem with that? " He asked immediately.

"Have you ever wondered why this cloud, which only hovers above the horse's head, is so difficult to fly away from?" Wu Weidao asked.

"Perhaps, it is in the right position. Or perhaps, the wind was not strong enough to blow it away. What do you think?" He asked immediately.

"The reason why the rainbow cloud can't fly elsewhere is because it can only fly in that circle, because the distance between it and the carriage has already been determined by the real body!" Wu Weidao laughed.

After savoring over Wu Xiangdao's words for a while, he finally couldn't help but ask: "You mean, the appearance on the outside is actually the appearance that the things inside are about to show? What is the situation inside, and what is the appearance of the illusion that we see?"

"That's right!" Wu Weidao smiled calmly, "Otherwise, why would the soup produce moisture?"

"Yeah!" After a moment of realization, he said, "The water vapor must have originated from the sinks on both sides of the hall, right?"

"That's right!" Wu Weidao stroked his chin and recalled, "As for that colorful cloud, I think it's because the water vapor was cast into a halo by those crystal stones, giving it a colorful cloud look in the illusion."

"That seems to be the case! Hall Master, you're too smart! " He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"But, what I don't understand is, since it is connected from the inside out, why did the illusion disappear?" Wu Weidao frowned and asked.

"Isn't that simple?" Ge Hua Qing smiled bitterly. "Since there is no light inside, it is impossible to transmit the illusion. The illusion outside also no longer exists!"

"That makes sense!" But, well, why is there no light here? " Wu Weidao asked.

"These flaming shellfish have their own schedule. Maybe I can catch up with them at that time to rest!" Ge Hua Qing said.

"Oh, I see!" Wu Weidao couldn't help but sigh. Another question arose in his heart, "But, this sika deer only stays at the head of the horse while the deer in the illusion can move back and forth. What's going on?"

Hearing that, Ge Hua Qing could not help but laugh. "That's even simpler! Look at these flame scallops, they aren't always willing to stay in the same place. They always come out and walk around whenever they have a chance.

"You're saying that the moment the light moves, those crystals will have a use for it. If they change the light again, it'll turn into the appearance of a small deer moving back and forth?" Wu Weidao asked.

"That's right!" Ge Hua Qing smiled lightly and asked: "Do you still remember that bird? It was so real! "

"That bird couldn't also be fake, right?" He asked with a bitter smile.

"Isn't that the bird?" Ge Hua Qing raised his hand and pointed at the ceiling of the great hall. He saw that there were many skylarks carved there. From the looks of it, they seemed to be alive!

"My God! Could it be that the bird that can fly without even moving its wings is actually a bird on a relief sculpture? " He asked in surprise.

"That's right!" Ge Hua Qing faintly smiled, his eyes a bit calmer than before. "Now, I am finally certain of one thing!"

"What is it?" He asked immediately.

"The so-called ceremony to welcome the immortals is just a legend that we use to scare ourselves! We should not be in dire straits yet! " Ge Hua Qing said.

"Huh?" He couldn't help but burst out laughing. "So you're saying we won't die?"

"As long as we can find the exit, we'll definitely be able to leave this place alive!" Ge Hua Qing said.
