Chapter 286 The Illusory City (55)
Rather than walking directly towards the town in front of him, Lin Yuan first felt his five senses.
Because he was in a dream, he felt that many things were separated by a layer, making it not very real.
But even so, he was still very satisfied.
Although I don’t know who the author of this dream is, the other person’s dream is quite subtle. He can feel the warmth when he is exposed to the sun, and he can feel the roughness when he touches the trees. .
Even when walking on the road, you can feel the feedback from the ground, which makes this world seem very real.
With a thought in his mind, Lin Yuan felt that he was in front of the city.
There are already many monks who have been dragged here in the city, and each of them is in a hurry, as if they don’t want to waste time outside at all.
Just as he was about to follow these people in, the guard at the door stopped Lin Yuan and asked politely: "Is this the first time this Taoist friend has come here?"
< br>“Yes, what’s wrong?”
The guard smiled politely, and then said: "Bliss City is a good place, I hope you have a good time. Our city lord said that if you come here for the first time, you will be provided with 50,000 spirit stones as a reward. I hope you have a good time. If you are short of money, go to the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord will find a way for you."
Then, the other party directly sent a storage bag, which contained fifty thousand spiritual stones.
If you hadn’t known that this was a dream, you would have gotten fifty thousand spirit stones as soon as you entered, which would probably make you crazy with joy.
But Lin Yuan just entered it with a storage bag and began to think about what the owner of this dream wanted.
Stepping into the town, he found that it was larger and more realistic than he had imagined.
The entire city should have a realistic prototype.
The rivers here extend in all directions and become a natural means of regional division, dividing the town into different regions.
On the river, the fishermen who came back from fishing were full of smiles. The partridges stood beside the fishermen, quietly eating the small fish dinner the fishermen gave them.
Vendors sell all kinds of mouth-watering snacks on the roadside.
This town is vivid and real, and various entertainment methods are endless, making it dizzying.
In the bookstore, there are all kinds of exercises from various sects. Wanfa Sect disciples may faint from excitement when they see it, and then they can't wait to go in and learn.
Lin Yuan immediately got in and looked at the books here happily for a long time, but after opening a book, he found that it was blank.
When the bookstore owner saw this scene, he came up to him with a smile and said: "Fellow Taoist, what book do you want to read? I will find it for you."
"Well... Do all your wishes come true? "
"All your wishes come true" is one of the top techniques. After using it, you can make your wishes come true immediately. It is a legendary technique. The authenticity is not yet certain.
But the boss just nodded with a smile, then took out a thread-bound book from the back, handed it to Lin Yuan and said: "You can read it for a quarter of an hour. If you want to buy it, you will need 200,000 spiritual stones."
"It's so expensive. If I watch it for a quarter of an hour, and then go out and come back, can I watch it for another quarter of an hour?"
"Huh?"
The boss seems to He didn't expect Lin Yuan to ask such a question. After being stunned for a long time, he said: "You can look at it for a quarter of an hour. If you want to buy it, you will need 200,000 spirit stones."
"Well, I understand. ”
The same answer convinced Lin Yuan that the boss was not a living person, but a dummy made using something similar to the Vientiane Technique. They are like NPCs in the game who only answer questions. Once they encounter a question beyond their cognitive scope, they can only repeat what they said before.
Opening the thread-bound book, Lin Yuan found that the book was just as he expected, there were no words in it.
Sighing with regret, Lin Yuan was about to return the book to his boss when he heard a monk say: "Fellow Taoist, can you read this book to me?"
Turning his head, Lin Yuan took a breath, because he saw a guy who looked exactly like himself appearing in front of him, asking him to borrow books.
Passing the book over in confusion, he found that the other party didn't seem to notice that they were bumping into each other at all. He picked up the book and read it with interest.
Obviously every page was blank, but the other party was fascinated by it and returned the book to the boss after a quarter of an hour with unfinished content.
"A good book, a good book. It is indeed a dream come true. It is indeed profound and profound. It's a pity that I don't have enough money, otherwise I would buy it back and read it slowly. Thank you boss."
" You're welcome," the boss said with a smile.
After that, the man with Lin Yuan's face continued to read other books, and finally happily bought a large number of Taoist books and went back to the inn to read.
Watching the other party leave, Lin Yuan could confirm that the other party was alive, but the other party's behavior was a bit mysterious.
Why does the other person look exactly like me?
Why can the other party see things when it is clearly blank?
This is a dream after all, and many things have nothing to do with reality. They are a more subconscious and symbolic existence.
With this doubt in mind, Lin Yuan continued to wander around the city, and then discovered many unusual scenes here.
The time here is slowed down very slowly, which is very similar to that in Shennong Valley. Lin Yuan feels that this place may be in the end of the Tao, so that time can be slowed down.
The food is edible, but it has a rather dry texture, like eating biscuits that have been buried in the desert for ten years. The texture is not very good.
Every kind of food tastes the same, but the taste is slightly different.
If you taste the food carefully, you can still taste different types, but it feels very bland and makes people uncomfortable to eat.
But unlike me, the other monks seemed to like these foods very much. They all ate barbecue and drank wine. Whether they knew each other or not, they would gather together and have a drink, and they seemed quite comfortable.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yuan felt like a ghost, feeling incompatible with everything here.
But precisely because of this, he was able to see the abnormalities in this dream independently.
The 50,000 spirit stones I was given at the beginning were quite a lot, but in the dream where time was accelerated, it was very useless.
The cheapest Taoist book only costs a few spirit stones, and the high-level spells are even more ridiculously expensive, but many people still buy them.
What they buy is not the Taoist book, but the feeling of reading the Taoist book. This feeling makes them linger and unable to extricate themselves.
Every monk who comes here can find something he likes: things, Taoist books, magic tools, spells, etc.
But behind these things, there is a very terrifying rule hidden.
Everything requires money.
The more advanced something is, the more money it requires, but the greater the excitement it brings.
So when all the money is spent, how will this dream deal with this problem?
With this question in mind, Lin Yuan walked towards the center of the city, the City Lord's Mansion.
