No hope for eternal life

Chapter 125 Illusion

"The demon army?" Mu Changsheng was frightened, and then he felt something was wrong. He was taking the palace examination, how could he possibly see his mother? Besides, the demon tribe was not arrogant enough to send out a large army.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to Mu Changsheng's mind: "I understand. The mystery of Mishan is the mystery of confusion. These are all illusions."

"But." Mu Changsheng frowned slightly again, and a question followed. Even if he knew it was an illusion, how could he break the illusion and return to reality?

Mu Changsheng tried to close his eyes tightly, and silently said in his heart: "These are all illusions, these are all illusions..."

Then, Mu Changsheng opened his eyes and found that he was still in the illusion of his home.

Seeing that Mu Changsheng was not going with her, Chen Wanru said sadly: "My son, you have not woken up since you fainted during the palace examination. For so many years, your father has been exhausted to death in order to earn spiritual stones for your treatment. Now that you have finally woken up, please listen to your mother and escape with me..."

Chen Wanru kept crying and complaining beside him, looking pitiful and touching, but Mu Changsheng was unmoved. He firmly believed that this was an illusion and kept thinking about how to get rid of it.

Hitting himself, jumping around... After trying many methods, Mu Changsheng still couldn't get rid of the illusion.

"Isn't this an illusion?" Mu Changsheng felt a chill in his heart. According to what Chen Wanru said, he was seriously injured and unconscious during the palace examination and was sent back home. Now the demons were invading and were about to reach their side. The situation was really terrible.

However, Mu Changsheng still had deep doubts, so he asked: "Mom, where is Mu Xun, how is he now?"

Chen Wanru's face became even more sad when she heard this: "After Mu Xun won the first place in the palace examination, he was accepted as a disciple by Mr. Yang. They fled here a long time ago, leaving us orphans and widows here to die."

"Sure enough." Mu Changsheng showed a smile, and he was more certain that this was an illusion. Although the logic of this illusion matched, it was actually full of loopholes.

The previous demon army was a loophole, and here Yang Wuque abandoning them to escape was also a loophole, because Yang Wuque is not that kind of person at all.

"The question is, how can I break this illusion?" Mu Changsheng was puzzled. He had thought of many ways, but he was unable to escape from the illusion.

Chen Wanru was still urging Mu Changsheng to escape, but Mu Changsheng said nothing, thinking about how to escape from the illusion.

Then, Mu Changsheng suddenly found that the storage bags he had with him had disappeared. He couldn't help but ask, "Mom, where are the storage bags I had with me?"

"Why are you looking for that? Let's run for our lives." Chen Wanru said anxiously.

Seeing that Chen Wanru was trying to avoid the subject, Mu Changsheng insisted, "Give me my storage bag, and I will run away with you."

"Okay." Chen Wanru said reluctantly, turned around and took out a few storage bags and handed them to Mu Changsheng.

When Mu Changsheng's hand touched the storage bag, he felt a strong sense of dizziness again, but this time he closed his eyes calmly.

When the dizziness ended, Mu Changsheng opened his eyes. The scene in front of him warmed his heart: "I'm finally back."

After all, it was the first time that Mu Changsheng experienced the so-called illusion, so he couldn't help feeling a little scared.

"We have to hurry. I don't know how much time I wasted just now." Mu Changsheng felt a little anxious. The strong feeling of dizziness disrupted the timing in his mind. He didn't know how much time had passed.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng climbed the mountain another hundred feet, and the feeling of dizziness came again.

"Come again." Mu Changsheng was depressed, but he had to accept it.

As his eyes closed and opened again, the person who appeared in front of Mu Changsheng was Song Zhi.

At this time, Song Zhi was wearing a red wedding dress, looking very beautiful. She covered her face and cried to Mu Changsheng: "I would rather die than be with you in this life."

With the previous experience, Mu Changsheng said to Song Zhi in a perfunctory manner: "Why do you have to do this?"

With the experience from last time, Mu Changsheng naturally would not believe a word the phantom character said, and he was concentrating on thinking about how to break the impasse.

Mu Changsheng first checked the several storage bags around his waist again and found that none of them were missing this time.

"It seems that the key to breaking the impasse should be with the person in the illusion." Mu Changsheng guessed secretly in his heart, because the storage bag last time was given to him by Chen Wanru, which enabled him to escape.

At the same time, the door was opened and a man in wedding clothes walked in, followed by a servant.

"Well, there is more than one person in the illusion this time." Mu Changsheng raised his eyebrows. Judging from the man's dress, he should be the groom who was originally going to marry Song Zhi.

Almost intuitively, Mu Changsheng felt that the groom was most likely the key person to break the illusion.

When the groom saw Mu Changsheng and Song Zhi together, he was not angry, but said calmly: "It seems that you still can't forget Mu Changsheng."

Song Zhi looked up and said to the groom: "Even if I die, I will never marry you, so you should give up on that idea."

"Hehe, the dummies are interacting with each other." Mu Changsheng laughed in his heart, but did not say anything to stop them, because he felt that the conversation between the two might reveal some information.

Upon hearing this, the groom was not annoyed at all. He clapped his hands. The servant behind him came forward, holding a tray in his hands. The tray was covered with densely packed light purple spirit stones.

Then, the groom slowly said to Mu Changsheng: "I will give you two choices. One: take these 1,000 high-quality spirit stones and leave, and make a vow to the devil in your heart, never come to see Zhier again from now on; two..."

Before the groom could finish his words, Mu Changsheng answered, "I'll choose one."

At the same time, Mu Changsheng had already stepped forward and grabbed those high-grade spirit stones. His intuition told him that those high-grade spirit stones were the tokens to break the impasse, just like the storage bag before.

When Mu Changsheng's fingers touched the top-grade spirit stone, the dizzy feeling came again. When Mu Changsheng opened his eyes, he had returned to the maze mountain.

Mu Changsheng did not hesitate and continued to climb the mountain. He also summed up two rules in his mind to break the illusion: "One: You need to touch a certain token, and the token is not specific; two: You must find the token through the fake person in the illusion."

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng climbed several hundred meters again, and the illusion came again.

In the illusion, Mu Yanggu said to Mu Changsheng: "Changsheng, my father owes a gambling debt, can you help me pay it off?"

"If it's a gambling debt, there's a signed IOU to prove it."

When Mu Changsheng came across the IOU, he returned to reality.

In this way, Mu Changsheng relied on the experience and principles he summed up to break through the illusions one by one at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, as Mu Changsheng climbed higher and higher, he could already vaguely see the top of the mountain.

When Mu Changsheng took a certain step, the pressure, which was already increasing, instantly multiplied, forcing Mu Changsheng to stick close to the mountain wall and climb the mountain with his limbs.

"It seems that we are reaching the final stage." Mu Changsheng had some enlightenment in his mind. The first stage was spiritual fruits and herbs, the second stage was illusion, and now should be the final sprint stage.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng climbed hundreds of feet again and never encountered another illusion, which further verified Mu Changsheng's guess.

"I don't have enough spiritual herbs, which is a big hidden danger." Mu Changsheng was a little worried. At this point, he could roughly guess the uses of spiritual herbs and fruits, so he was deeply worried.

Afterwards, as Mu Changsheng continued to ascend, he was able to see the figures of some other people. Because the mountain was like a sharp cone, the higher you went, the smaller the space to climb the mountain wall. The people who were originally scattered were slowly gathering together.
