"What kind of power is this?"
Li Wanran looked calmly at the intact middle-aged man in front of him. He didn't even have any disorder in his steps, as if he couldn't feel the sharp blade passing through his heart at all.
At the same time, he also felt that there was no blood on the three-foot long sword, otherwise the sword would become violent and its power would increase.
"It seems that my guess is correct. There are rules here. We can't break the rules. We can only follow these rules."
Seeing the experimental results, Zhao Qi became even more convinced. The thoughts in your heart cannot be killed no matter what means you use.
Rule-based magic weapons have this amazing method. Not only people, but every plant and tree here cannot be destroyed, or after being damaged, it will be repaired and become brand new immediately.
"This is too scary. Isn't he invincible? If he is our enemy, he can do whatever he wants!"
Li Suanran said no in shock. Speaking of which, he thought that a three-foot long sword coupled with Taoism was the foundation for walking in the world, but when faced with the scene in front of him, there was absolutely no way to contend with it.
"The rules-based magic weapon is so scary. A hundred people go in, and only one comes out intact."
Zhao Qi's eyes were a little uneasy, but he was still calm. Didn't get into trouble.
He said: "We are safe for the time being, because the rules here shock everyone. We have to follow the rules and leave naturally when we achieve the goal."
"It sounds more and more evil. This kind of thing is really confusing. It’s more suitable for me to do it with a big sword and a big gun.”
Li Xuanran stretched out his hand and let the three-foot long sword fly back to his palm, then shook his head, feeling helpless. Like a fly on the head, I can only obey the arrangement.
“When any illusion is born, a will will appear, usually called the spirit of the illusion.”
“Everything seen in the illusion is actually made of Created by the spirit of illusion, it will obey its master’s orders, but it will not obey them completely.”
Zhao Qi did not act in a hurry, but talked to Li Wanran about the knowledge about the illusion. It was absolutely impossible to get out of here without some understanding.
“Illusions mainly use real feelings to deceive others. If you are not deceived and find evidence to prove that it is an illusion, then the spirit of the illusion will leave and the illusion will be broken without attack. ”
“For example, the sky is blue and the grass is green, but in the fantasy world I am in, the sky turns green. Yes, then this is the evidence. I can prove it to the spirit of the illusion and escape."
"The field is an upgraded version of the illusion. The spirit of the illusion in it has more than just consciousness. ."
Zhao Qi gradually came to the point, and immediately pulled Li Wanran's thoughts back, listening fully and attentively.
"Illusion spirits of regular magic weapons have rich emotions, and he maintains the illusion of magic weapons to vent these emotions."
"He is like a creature that can never escape, but he can Create a lot of games for yourself to play.”
“We have to follow his game rules and achieve the goal,” Zhao Qi finished quickly.
"So that's it. Although I didn't understand it very well, I felt very shocked. The journey of cultivation is simply magnificent. I am just a drop in the ocean, a wisp of hair!"
Li Xuanran has A very powerless feeling.
"Let's follow up and take a look first. Judging from the current situation, we should be workers hired by a certain big family. Maybe this is what happened to the spirit of the illusion itself."
Zhao Qi looked into the distance The middle-aged man walked away almost out of sight. He immediately said hello to Li Wanran and chose to follow closely behind.
The three of them relied on the lanterns, the pale light, and walked along the Yang Chao Trail. After passing many tombs, they finally reached their destination.
This is a very flat hillside, with a large pink light seven or eight meters high in the middle. The tombstone in front is nearly four meters high, and there is no inscription on it.
At the same time, the surrounding area was filled with people dressed in ancient costumes, and there were some carriages and sedan chairs in the distance. The only thing they had in common was that they were hung with white cloth.
"The custom of mourning in mourning originated in the Spring and Autumn Period. The horses in the vehicles in the distance seem to be iron bridge horses, which became extinct in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the current period should be a dynasty between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Tang Dynasty."
Zhao Qi's eyes swept across it quickly, and he got a lot of useful information at once. After integrating it in his mind, he shared it with Li Xuanran.
"Boss, can you even see this? It's very powerful, but is it useful? Since this is created by the spirit of illusion, will he still do it according to the current situation?"
Li Wanran praised a few words at first. He also observed the horse skin and the mourning flag, but he didn't know this knowledge at all.
“I have said before that the main function of illusion is to make people believe that it is real, so everything will be as real as possible.”
"As an upgraded version of illusions, rules-based magic weapons cannot be made up randomly."
Zhao Qi answered a few sentences and felt that it was better not to say anything more to Li Wanran and wait until he found a flaw to let him do it. That's it, there's no need to talk with this IQ.
"Let's go to the crowd first and see what's going on there." Zhao Qi sat down to make up his mind and walked forward.
The two of them walked around the carriage to the front of the hillside, which was also the front of the huge tomb. They still could not see the words, but there were many people standing together.
Eighty people were wearing patched cloths or holding tools of various sizes, like farmers or craftsmen.
At a glance, there were about forty or fifty people. Perhaps the nearly one hundred tombs were built by these fifty people.
"Okay, okay, everyone, please stop making noises. Now the last tomb has been built and it is considered completed."
"Waiting for the rich man Cao to come later, everyone Then you can get your wages. There must be a reward, Cao Caizhu is famous for his generosity from all over the country."
In front of the crowd was an old man in his seventies or eighties, stroking his beard with both hands and talking happily. , with a kind face.
There were several middle-aged people beside him, including the one Zhao Qi met before. It seemed that this old man was the leader of this group of farmers and craftsmen.
"Boss, looking at the situation, we should be here to help. It's completed now and we're waiting to be paid." Li Wanran secretly came to Zhao Qi and asked.
"My guess is good. These people should be responsible for funerals. There are hundreds of graves here. They must have worked for several days and nights. Their eyes have thick dark circles."
Zhao Qi confirmed this statement, and was even more looking forward to who the so-called rich man Cao was, who could have such human and financial resources.
The gray-haired old man in the front continued to say a few words and then asked everyone to rest where they were. The various craftsmen either fell aside and fell asleep, or started talking excitedly.
"Hey, I can make a lot of money this time. When I get home, I will definitely buy two cows so that I don't have to plow the fields myself."
"Brother Dayang's good days are here. From now on, just wait for your wife and children to be on the hot bed. Unlike me, I still have to use this money to marry a wife."
"With this money, I can marry a big girl. Well, who do you like? "Tell me!"
"Who else is it? Widow Wang from the next village. I heard that this kid often went to peek and was beaten several times. Woolen cloth, Hahaha."
"Oh, what did the Liu family do? They actually sold private salt and offended the government. They ended up like this and the whole family was wiped out!" "It's the rich man Cao who has a good heart. If it weren't for him, these corpses would have been dumped in mass graves. How much merit must be accumulated by spending so much money and effort to collect the corpses?"
"Ms. Liu was very good friends with the wealthy Cao before. The two of them started from scratch together, but I didn't expect that Ms. Liu later went astray."
"I heard that the two of them had broken up a long time ago because of business. But the rich man Cao is really kind-hearted for being able to collect his body."
"..."
The sound of discussions continued to reach Zhao Qi's ears very carefully, and he wanted to. Find some clues in it to crack it.
If you want to leave this area, you must find a goal. From the current point of view, this matter is just the beginning.
But the so-called rich man Cao must be an extremely important person. I don't know whether he is good or bad. Judging from the people nearby, he seems to be pretty good.
Zhao Qi also found a place to sit down and look around. If he kept standing, it would arouse the suspicion of crowds of people around him. Several people kept looking this way.
"Boss, the clothes we wear are different from theirs, but are they the same in the eyes of these people?" Li Changran also discovered this phenomenon and asked.
"Yes, we should be playing craftsmen or farmers at this time. Although our clothes have not changed, this is an illusion, which can be explained completely."
Zhao Qi nodded, When the people around him looked at him, the emotions they expressed were very clear.
The reason why the illusion makes people feel real is not only the appearance, but perhaps the projection from somewhere, expressing different emotions.
In order not to alert others and cause unnecessary trouble, Zhao Qi acted like everyone else there and waited for dawn.
The sound of roosters crowing seemed to be far, far away. This place should be far away from the formation, and far away from the countryside is a cemetery area.
After some time, the sun rose, and at the same time, the sound of horse hooves trampling on Shi Zi also came from a distance.
On the not-wide road in the distance, a group of big horses galloped forward, with a figure standing on top of it, dressed in fiery red brocade clothes.
The nearby farmers and craftsmen also stood up immediately and gathered in a group, led by the white-haired old man, waiting quietly.
"The rich man Cao is here. The rich man Cao is finally here. Why did you come here alone without taking anyone with you?" Seeing the horse stop, the old man said with a smile.
The wealthy Cao in his mouth looks like a forty-year-old man, with glorious skin, wearing a scholar's hat, brocade clothes, and several jade pendants. He is dressed extremely richly.
"Haha, I heard that you have finished the work so quickly. I am even happy. I have already sent people to set up a banquet at Zuihua House in the city. We will all go together later."
The rich man Cao jumped off the horse. He was even very strong and strong, and his words were very powerful.
His face is relatively burly, with a standard Chinese character face, and a tea beard on his mouth, which is also shiny. He does not look like a treacherous person.
When the nearby farmers and craftsmen heard that there was a banquet, their faces suddenly burst into smiles. Such public houses are rare, and Zuihualou is the best restaurant in the city.
"Mr. Cao, we are constructing them according to the drawings you submitted, a total of one hundred and eight. The main tomb has no words engraved on it. Please check and accept it."
Bai The old man also nodded, took out a large pile of warm yellow paper from his arms, pointed at the location and began to introduce.
Zhao Qi and Li Xuanran looked at each other, but neither spoke. Judging from the current situation, it was impossible to tell which side was good and which was bad.
Cao Cao rode his horse back and forth in the cemetery several times, and finally came back with a smile on his face.
"You have done a good job. Being able to have such a cemetery to collect corpses makes me, Brother Liu, smile even if he is under the pressure of nine springs!"
With tears in his eyes, Cao Cao got off his horse. , and then walk to the big tomb in the middle.
"We have also turned over the main tomb of Cao Cao. It is all brand new soil, and the big wall has been washed very smooth." The white-haired old man said immediately.
Isn’t the tomb in the middle just built? That's right, how could these people get such a big stone to make a tombstone in just a few days.
Something bad suddenly arose in Zhao Qi's heart.
"Okay, okay, it fully meets my requirements. You are all old people here. Do you know why there is such a huge tomb standing here, and the tombstone has no words?"
Cao The rich man wiped away the tears from his eyes, nodded repeatedly, and said to the white-haired old man.
"Of course this old man doesn't know. I heard that this tomb suddenly appeared overnight, and it was regarded as an ominous sign before."
"Actually... this tomb suddenly appeared. The grave is mine.”
Rich Man Cao raised his head, looked at the top of the tombstone, and suddenly spoke.
"Yes, yes, yes..."
The white-haired old man was thinking about something, and his tone stopped. The more he listened, the more he felt that there was something wrong with this sentence.
The rich man Cao was obviously not dead, so why did he say that this grave belonged to him, and it was so big that a normal person could bury it in it?
I am afraid that only the tombs of royal families and princes can have such a scale. Even if they have money, they will definitely not be allowed to build it.
He was about to ask when his vision suddenly went dark, followed by a violent tearing sensation in his chest.
"Poof!"
Rich Man Cao raised his hand and grabbed the white-haired old man's chest, like grabbing tofu, and took out a blood-red heart.
“His!”
“I will adapt to the situation later.”
Hearing Li Xuanran's inhalation, Zhao Qi quickly gave instructions.
Obviously, the situation in front of him has developed in another direction. One second, Cao Cai was still missing his deceased brother, but the next second, a black tiger came to rip out his heart.
In addition, the location of the previous tomb seemed extremely wrong, as if this matter was a conspiracy from head to toe.
The next goal is very simple. As a craftsman who builds a tomb here, all you have to do is survive.
Survive under the hands of Cao Cao, a man of unknown strength. (End of chapter)
