Chapter 913: The Love Story of the 2-Heavenly Master (23)
As the saying goes, take advantage of your illness to kill you.
Yue Zheng's careless look is simply the perfect time to take action.
Yun Shen and Yuan Jingchen attacked Yue Zheng in tacit understanding.
Unfortunately, Yue Zheng did not go completely crazy, and his defensive instinct was still there.
Yun Shen and Yuan Jingchen's attacks missed.
Yue Zheng looked at the tacit understanding between the two and was not angry at their attack on him. Instead, he looked at them with a little expectation.
"Maybe you're the one who can get me out of here."
Yun Shen raised his eyebrows slightly. Could it be that this person was not the mastermind behind the scenes?
Before Yun Shenshen could think about it, the two of them fell into an illusion again.
Yun Shen strongly suspected that Yue Zheng was a mirror monster, otherwise where would all the illusions come from?
However, these illusions are of no use to him. They can only trap him but cannot confuse his mind. But the same may not be true for his little wolf cub.
Yun Shen subconsciously looked at Yuan Jingchen beside him. His waist could not withstand the second ordeal.
When Yun Shen saw Yuan Jingchen's clear eyes, he temporarily felt relieved.
As long as his little wolf cub is awake, everything will be easy.
Yuan Jingchen noticed Yun Shen's gaze and couldn't help but touch his nose guiltily. He assured without much confidence: "Wife, don't worry, I won't be fooled by the illusion again."
To be honest, Yun Shen was not very reassured.
Although his little wolf cub is not confused now, that may not be the case in a while.
Yuan Jingchen also knew that his words had no credibility, so he didn't say anything more. He just silently put a mind-clearing talisman on himself.
Although this mind-clearing talisman may not be of much use, it is better than nothing.
Yun Shen looked at the actions of his little wolf cub and said helplessly and amusedly: "Let's go and find the center of the formation."
Although illusions are different from ordinary formations, they are essentially formations. If you want to break the formation, you must first find the eye of the formation.
But this time the center of the formation was extremely difficult to find. The two walked in the illusion for a long time but still couldn't find it.
Just as Yun Shen was about to break the formation by force, the scene in front of the two of them changed.
The originally empty illusion suddenly turned into a fairyland.
Yuan Jingchen hesitated and said, "Wife, it seems that we have accidentally entered someone else's fantasy world."
The reason why Yuan Jingchen was sure that he had entered someone else's illusion was because illusions were created based on people's memories, which means that scenes that the person entering the array had not experienced would usually not appear in the illusion.
The scene before him was obviously not something he and Yun Shen had experienced.
Yun Shen twisted his fingers and said, "Maybe it's not an illusion."
Yuan Jingchen understood immediately, "If it's not an illusion, could it be the remaining memory of the illusion?"
Yun Shen nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the remaining memory of the person who let us enter the formation."
Yuan Jingchen instantly perked up, "If I read his memories, will I have a chance to know where his weakness is?"
Yun Shen thought so too.
The person outside the formation is not difficult to deal with, but the endless illusions in his hands are really overwhelming, and one will fall into his illusions if one is not careful.
Yun Shen was not sure whether the man would have another illusion in his hands if he forced his way out of the formation.
With the experience of the previous two times, Yun Shen was confident that he would not fall into the trap, but he was not sure that his little wolf cub would not fall into the illusion either.
So instead of breaking the formation by force, it is better to stay and see what happens.
Yun Shen took out two invisibility talismans and handed one to Yuan Jingchen, "Just in case."
Although people who stray into someone else's illusion will usually not be noticed by the people in the illusion, it is still better to be careful.
After Yun Shen and Yuan Jingchen affixed the invisibility talisman, the illusion changed again.
A peach tree appeared not far from the two of them, and under the tree lay an ancient mirror.
As a gust of wind blew, two petals fell from the peach tree and landed on the ancient mirror.
Time passed very quickly in the illusion. Yun Shen and Yuan Jingchen only looked at it for a moment, but the peach tree and the ancient mirror had been together for nearly a thousand years.
In the blink of an eye, the scene before my eyes changed again.
I saw a white-haired man in pink clothes appearing on a peach tree not far away. The man was lying on his back on the peach tree with a pot of wine in his hand, and he looked like he was drunk.
A moment later, a man in black clothes and black hair came under the peach tree.
"Yue Zheng, you stole my peach wine again."
Although the words were blaming, the black-clothed man's tone was full of doting and helplessness.
Yue Zheng said in a flattering tone: "Shang Yu, don't be so stingy."
After Yue Zheng finished speaking, he turned over and let himself fall freely from the peach tree. Shang Yu reached out to catch Yue Zheng as if he was used to it. "You, you always use this trick."
Yue Zheng put his arms around Shang Yu's neck, "Isn't it true that only throwing myself into your arms can calm you down?"
Shang Yu shook his head helplessly, "When will you learn not to mess around?"
Yue Zheng smiled, a smile full of carefreeness, "As long as you are here, I can always act silly."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Yuan Jingchen turned to look at Yun Shen and asked in a low voice: "Wife, are they the peach tree and the ancient mirror we saw just now? This should be their appearance after they have cultivated into a human form, right?"
Yun Shen nodded, "The flow of time in the illusion is adjusted according to memory. Although we only saw it for a moment, they may have been practicing for a long time."
Yuan Jingchen touched his chin and said, "I just don't know if they are monsters or demons?"
Yun Shen guessed, "It should be a demon."
Yuan Jingchen murmured, "No wonder it can create so many illusions that are difficult to detect. It turns out to be a mirror monster."
"Wife, do you think the person outside the formation is the Mirror Demon Shang Yu?"
Yun Shen shook his head, "I think that person is the peach blossom demon Yue Zheng."
Yuan Jingchen was puzzled and asked, "Why? The one who can create so many illusions should be the mirror monster."
Yun Shen explained: "Because of those tablets."
Yuan Jingchen still didn't understand, so Yun Shen just said, "Maybe you'll understand if you keep reading."
When the two turned around, the scene in front of them changed again.
The peach blossom forest disappeared, replaced by a magnificent Yue Lao Temple.
The Yue Lao Temple is bustling with people and pilgrims.
The statue enshrined in the Yue Lao Temple is obviously Yue Zheng.
Yuan Jingchen was surprised and said, "This peach blossom demon has become a matchmaker."
Yun Shen had expected this. If he guessed correctly, Yue Zheng not only served as the matchmaker, but also facilitated 64 marriages.
These 64 pairs of destined people correspond to the 128 tablets in the ancestral hall of Linyuan Village.
Yue Lao Temple Backyard
Yue Zheng and Shang Yu sat on a peach tree hugging each other.
"Shang Yu, are you saying that there are really no gods in this world?"
"Of course not, otherwise you, the fake Yue Lao, would have been struck down by the real Yue Lao long ago."
Yue Zheng looked at Shang Yu angrily, "What about you? You just let him chop me?"
Shang Yu coaxed him good-temperedly: "Of course not. If he dares to strike you with thunder, I will use my real body to block your head."
Yue Zheng was satisfied, "Since there are no gods in this world, then I am the real Yue Lao."
Shang Yu replied: "Yes, you are the real matchmaker."
At this moment, the bell hanging on the peach tree swayed.
Yue Zheng rang the bell and said, "Shang Yu, another destined couple has arrived. Let's go and test them."
The two of them hid their figures and entered the main hall of Yue Lao Temple.
Shang Yu pulled the destined pair into the illusion, while Yue Zheng set various tests for them in the illusion.
After the two passed the test, Shang Yu released the destined pair from the illusion.
Yue Zheng tied a red string around their wrists.
The destined couple smiled at each other after seeing the red thread, "Look, we have received the blessing of Yue Lao."
The two of them left Yue Lao Temple together.
Yue Zheng looked at the two people's backs and counted on his fingers, "This should be the sixty-fourth destined couple we have brought together."
Shang Yu corrected: "It's not matchmaking, it's a test."
Yue Zheng took out two peach wood tablets and engraved the names of the destined couple who had just left on them.
Seeing this, Yuan Jingchen immediately remembered the tablets of him and Yun Shen, and grumbled with some dissatisfaction: "It was clearly still a peach wood tablet at the time, how come it became a tablet later?"
Although the tablet gave him a status, it still looked unlucky. How could it be better than a peach wood tablet?
Yun Shen had nothing to say.
Yuan Jingchen finally understood why Yun Shen said that the person outside the formation was Yue Zheng. Those tablets must have been carved by Yue Zheng.
As a shaking sound came, the scene in front of the two people changed again.
The two returned to Linyuan Village, no, not Linyuan Village, but Yuelao Village.
I saw that the place where the words "Linyuan Village" were originally written had become Yue Lao Village.
Yun Shen guessed that this should be the end of the illusion.
Yun Shen guessed correctly, this was indeed the end point and also the beginning of all tragedies.
"Shang Yu, if I die in the thunderbolt, just forget about me."
Shang Yu shook his head, "No, Yue Zheng, you won't die."
Yue Zheng forced a smile and said, "Since ancient times, no demon has ever become an immortal. I'm afraid I can't survive this thunder tribulation."
"If my soul is scattered, you must live well."
Before Shang Yu could say anything, a bolt of lightning struck from the dark clouds in the sky.
Yue Zheng’s thunder tribulation began.
The thunder tribulation was indeed as Yue Zheng had imagined, extremely dangerous, and every bolt of lightning seemed to be able to strike Yue Zheng to pieces.
Yue Zheng survived a total of eighty heavenly thunders, but a demon to become an immortal must survive eighty-one thunder tribulations to complete the mission.
But Yue Zheng could no longer withstand this last bolt of thunder.
As long as the last bolt of thunder strikes, Yue Zheng's soul will be shattered.
Yue Zheng also knew that he could not take this step. Yue Zheng took one last look at Shang Yu and said, "Shang Yu, I regret it. I shouldn't have pursued becoming an immortal."
"If there is an afterlife, I only wish to live with you forever, live a peaceful life together, and never pursue this illusory path to becoming an immortal again."
After Yue Zheng finished speaking, he closed his eyes and waited for the last bolt of thunder to fall. However, he waited for a long time and did not feel any pain.
Yue Zheng opened his eyes and saw a scene that made him burst into tears.
Shang Yu's real body firmly blocked his head, catching the last bolt of lightning for him.
But Shang Yu's body was shattered by thunder.
"No, Shang Yu!"
"Yue Zheng, live well and forget me."
He fulfilled the promise he had made to Yue Zheng, but he could no longer be with Yue Zheng.
"No, no, Shang Yu, I want you to live."
Shang Yu was no longer able to respond to Yue Zheng, his body was completely shattered into pieces.
Yue Zheng picked up the fragments of Shang Yu's body piece by piece, held them in his arms, and then turned into a motionless sculpture.
This went on for an unknown amount of time before Yue Zheng finally moved.
Yue Zheng began to look for a way to revive Shang Yu, but there was no way.
It is not easy for a mirror monster to cultivate into a monster, not to mention that Shang Yu’s soul has been destroyed and his body has been chopped into pieces, which cannot be repaired at all.
Yue Zheng did not give up and tried for a long time, but still nothing could be done.
Finally, Yue Zheng became possessed by a demon and sealed Yue Lao Village in a barrier.
A thousand years later, a new village named Linyuan Village was built on the site of Yue Lao Village.
Occasionally, people who want to go to Linyuan Village but mistakenly enter Yue Lao Village will fall into Shang Yu's illusions, which were left behind by Shang Yu during his lifetime.
Because Yue Lao Village is the home of Shang Yu and Yue Zheng, Shang Yu does not want to be disturbed by outsiders, so he set up these illusions, and anyone who breaks in will be trapped in the illusion.
But Shang Yu didn't expect that the illusions he left behind trapped outsiders, but also trapped Yue Zheng.
After being possessed by the devil, Yue Zheng tampered with his own memory.
In Yue Zheng's tampered memory, he was sealed in Yue Lao Village. Only by unravelling all the illusions left by Shang Yu could he get out of Yue Lao Village.
Yue Zheng wanted to trap herself in Yue Lao Village until her death, but Shang Yu was unwilling to let his lover be trapped in the illusion forever and unable to get out.
So Shang Yu used the little consciousness he had left to lure Yun Shen and Yuan Jingchen in, and then showed them their pasts one by one.
Yun Shen and Yuan Jingchen finally realized that what remained in this illusion was not Yue Zheng’s memory, but Shang Yu’s memory.
Shang Yu wanted them to redeem his lover.
Yun Shen bluntly stated that it was not them who could save Yue Zheng, but Shang Yu, and only Shang Yu could save Yue Zheng.
If Shang Yu cannot be resurrected, even if Yue Zheng remembers everything, Yue Zheng will not be redeemed.
It would be better to let Yue Zheng think that he is trapped, at least this will give Yue Zheng hope of survival.
This should also be the reason why Yue Zheng tampered with his own memory.
Cruelly revealing the truth would only make Yue Zheng miserable.
Shang Yu naturally knew all this, but he only had this little bit of consciousness left in the illusion.
If his original body could be repaired, then he could return to his original body, and after a period of training, perhaps he could reappear, but his original body had been shattered into pieces and could not be repaired.
Yun Shen thought about Shang Yu's true form that he saw in the illusion, and then said that he could repair Shang Yu's true form.
If you want Yue Zheng to hand over Shang Yu's real body, Shang Yu can only talk to Yue Zheng in person.
In other words, Yue Zheng's memory must be restored.
Shang Yu thought for a long time before agreeing.
Shang Yu has been hiding in the illusion and never appeared because he was afraid of giving Yue Zheng hope and then disappointing him.
This hint of consciousness of his is also his obsession with Yue Zheng, and the obsession will eventually dissipate.
Shang Yu didn't want Yue Zheng to experience the pain of losing him again.
But now that things have come to this, he must get Yue Zheng out before it dissipates.
----
Yue Zheng and Shang Yu are taken from Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng and Yu.
So it is pronounced as Yue Zheng (zhi), not Yue Zheng (zhēng).
