Li Haner collapsed on the sand all over her body. In the past, she must have felt uncomfortable all over. She wished she could rush to take a shower and change her clothes. But now, the fog has not gathered again. There is a sense of satisfaction that arises from the bottom of my heart.

She looked at the winter solstice from a distance, the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously, and she let out a long breath.

Li Haner still remembers the feeling of dissatisfaction in her heart when she just learned that she was temporarily drawn into the exchange group and the leader of the group was still at the winter solstice. Although she would not go to the leader to strongly protest and demand a replacement, but to Long Shen's apprentice, There is indeed a kind of malicious malice for watching a good show. Because of her unrequited love for Long Shen, she felt unpleasant to see anyone who was deeply favored by Long Shen.

But then, when did the mood change?

Maybe it was when everyone was at a low point, the winter solstice was still as calm as ever, and there seemed to be no difficulties that could stum him, maybe it was when the winter solstice took the lead and ran in front of the danger, maybe it was when the other party bickered with Liu Qingbo and took out from his backpack again and again When they came out with something they couldn't imagine, relieved their nervousness and gave them new hope, Li Haner had to admit that the winter solstice was not annoying at all.

Not only is it not annoying, but there is a kind of charm that makes people involuntarily like it.

like...

Where there is him, can see the anger in the whole world.

Who can hate the warm sunshine?

If it was Liu Qingbo or Zhang Song, or even her own brother Li Yinglai as the head of the group, maybe they would have won the final victory, but they would have to sacrifice one or two people like other teams, and it is impossible to have such a centripetal force as they are now. .

Only the winter solstice can do this.

"Dear Han'er, who are you looking at?"

William followed her line of sight and opened his eyes wide: "Are you watching Winter? God, do you have a crush on him? Then do I still have a chance?"

His fussing tone attracted a lot of attention, and Li Haner could not wait to sew his mouth shut.

"Who said I had a crush on him!" Li Han'er gritted his teeth.

This person seems to be able to challenge her good self-cultivation every time. Li Haner suspects that if she goes on like this, when she returns to China, she may be a few years older with anger.

"You looked at him just now with a sad smile!" William said with a pure face, "Han'er, although my skin is not as white as his, but I am taller and better than him, I can give you happiness, and He obviously doesn't like you!"

"That's not sadness, it's comfort! Do you understand comfort!" Li Han'er couldn't help it anymore, grabbed his ear and yelled, "Also, you don't call yourself good-looking, you call it majestic!"

Crowd: ...

Winter Solstice: "Calm down, calm down, think about your ladylike demeanor, think about our reputation."

Li Han'er took a deep breath, smiled at William, and said a chilling threat in a soft voice.

"Further nonsense, be careful I'll screw your head off and use it as a ball kick."

William glanced at her in horror, thought about it, and whispered: "If you are willing to accept my pursuit, you can play with your head. Do you Chinese have a saying that you can kiss the most beautiful person? Flowers, it doesn't matter if they die right away?"

That is called death under the peony flower, and it is also romantic to be a ghost. Li Haner laughed angrily: "If you can learn Chinese and use idioms proficiently, I will accept your pursuit."

William's eyes lit up: "Really?"

But he is not stupid, and he immediately talked about the conditions: "Is it ok to be fluent in spoken language?"

Li Haner thought that it couldn't be too difficult to decide, otherwise the other party would be deceived when he heard it, so he nodded and said, "Yes. But if you can understand the idioms and allusions, I don't want to fall in love with a man who can't even understand. "

The last sentence, she said in Chinese.

"Tiger backs?" William imitated her tone, confused, "What is that?"

Li Han'er didn't change her face: "I just praise you for being handsome."

William became happy: "Don't worry dear, I know you worry that I am just being enthusiastic for a while, but I am sincere to you. If you give me half a year, I will definitely learn Chinese. However, you cannot have a boyfriend during this half year. "

Li Haner nodded: "Of course, I am a person who keeps promises."

The two were happy when they reached an agreement.

They twitched the corners of their mouths on the Winter Solstice, but in the end they didn't say anything. Everyone could hear that Li Haner was fooling William, but who knows what happened in the future, maybe William would give up automatically in less than half a year, maybe the two could really develop into a happy enemy. , Life is always full of variables, no one can meet the future.

The storm stopped, and the sea gradually calmed down, but several islands were in a mess. The most miserable one was Diana Island. The trees on it were either down or crooked, messy, and the flood had not completely receded. There were pits and pits between the trees. , appalling.

In the distance, the ship emerged from the fog and gradually approached.

That was the ship that the organizing committee sent to meet them.

Liu Qingbo sighed: "In the movie, the police always rush over after everything has been settled."

Winter Solstice couldn't help but laugh.

...

Japan, Atsuta Shrine.

Long Shen held the sword and kept walking forward.

In all directions, up and down, left and right, there are countless sight spaces, one after another, with no end in sight.

The space under his feet extends infinitely, but if there is no accident, no matter how or where he goes, he will never be able to get out of here.

But Long Shen didn't stop, because he knew that once he stopped, his perspective would be easily confused by the mirrored content. Losing his direction was only the first step, and eventually even his mind would be lost in the mirrored space.

Otowa Hatohiko's peep has just been broken by him, but if he can't find an exit, he will be trapped here forever.

The scenes in each mirror space are roughly the same, but there are also subtle differences. For example, each Li Ying in it has a worried expression, or a panic, or a smile, even with happiness, joy, anger, sadness, and seven emotions. It's hard to tell which Li Ying is the real one. Long Shen seems to keep moving forward, but in fact he is observing every Li Ying at a speed that is unmatched by ordinary people.

He believed that one of them must be true.

"Li Ying." Long Shen said in a deep voice, "Speak, no matter what you say, don't stop your voice."

"Dragon Bureau!" Countless Li Yings responded in the mirrored space, and the voices came first and last, as if accompanied by countless echoes. But no matter which Li Ying it is, the tone is very weak, and it is estimated that the injury is not shallow.

"Long Ju, if I can't go back, please tell my master and my parents on my behalf, and say that I am not up to my expectations, I failed to complete the task, and my sister Han'er, let her take good care of her parents..." Li Ying gasped and said, "There is still Banxia, ​​help me to say sorry to her and tell her not to wait for me!"

The boy didn't cry easily. Li Ying didn't cry when he mentioned the teacher's parents, but when he said the word "Banxia", he couldn't help shedding tears.

He remembered that when he first entered the Special Administration Bureau, he saw the lively and laughing girl, and his eyes were immediately attracted. He remembered the ambiguous interaction between the two when they were on the mission, and he remembered that he gave up a bright future for her. The group went to the third group, which was regarded as a miscellaneous group. The father also lost a lot of temper because of this, but Li Ying did not regret it.

From childhood to adulthood, he was prudent and precocious, and he took care of the overall situation. His words and deeds were almost a role model for Maoshan's peers. After joining the Special Administration Bureau, he also became a future pillar in the eyes of higher-level leaders. He seldom acted impulsive, and many people He couldn't even understand why he didn't want the outstanding junior sister of Maoshan's peers, but liked a strange and unpredictable descendant.

Li Ying once thought that he would follow the path of Taoism step by step, either inheriting the position of Maoshan's head teacher, or entering the Special Administrative Bureau, like his father Li Rui, and stepping up step by step, becoming a middle and high-level special agent A bureau official may eventually become a powerful deputy director.

But he never thought that he would fall into the sand here before his achievements were completed.

In addition to the fear and anxiety about death, what he remembered countless times was Chi Banxia's face.

He knew that Chi Banxia would not be able to get out of the shadow of his own death. Maybe outsiders saw the name of the head descendant, but they felt mysterious and fearful, and did not dare to provoke him, but Li Ying knew that this smart girl was more affectionate than anyone else.

Long Shen's eyes swept away, and countless Li Yings showed pain in the mirror image.

But most of Li Ying's pain is sluggish and numb. This kind of pain is like a puppet imitated by a stereotype. The poor acting can't be moved at all, but it feels weird.

only one.

The only one with genuine pain and fear on his face. Li Ying is also a human being. Even if he is a cultivator, he is better than most of his peers, but he is still young, and it is impossible for him to be indifferent to his anger and anger in the face of real death, especially in the face of love and relatives. Heaven and man are forever separated, even Long Shen will be moved, not to mention Li Ying.

Long Shen did not hesitate, and immediately a sword light shot out, the target was Li Ying, who had the most painful expression!

The mirror was shattered, Li Ying looked at the sword light that was coming in a flash, and couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he was seriously injured, and the other party was Long Shen, there was no way to avoid it, the fierce sword energy reached his forehead, There was a tingling sensation on the skin, and his arm had been firmly clamped.

"Dragon Bureau!"

He looked at Long Shen who appeared beside him, surprised and delighted.

"go!"

As soon as Long Shen said a word, his figure didn't stop, Li Ying only felt that the world was spinning, the scene was flying backward, the mirror image was broken layer by layer, the fragments scattered in the space, and the clothes and skin were cut, and there was still pain.

"This is real!" Long Shen seemed to see his doubts, and said very fast, without stopping, dragging him forward all the way.

Long Shen seems to have astral body protection all over his body, and the fragments can't get close, but Li Ying has been locked up in a daze these days. He saw Chi Banxia and his seniors, and then found himself in the abyss and hell, with skeletons left and right. Evil ghosts were surrounded and could not escape, and his mind was already a little confused, and at this moment he couldn't tell whether he was really saved or another illusion.

The gods made ghosts, and he stretched his hand out of the range of the qi protection to touch the fragments. Sure enough, his fingertips hurt, and blood beads came out immediately.

"Isn't this an illusion?" Li Ying asked blankly.

"It's true and false, and it's true, any illusion is based on reality."

Long Shen turned around distractedly, and when he saw him staring at him, he couldn't help frowning, and flicked his finger between his brows.

Li Ying's body trembled slightly, and his expression suddenly became much clearer.

"Dragon Bureau..." His voice was hoarse, as if he had just been fished out of the water, dripping with sweat.

"Don't move, don't talk."

Although Long Shen saw through the eyes of the formation he was in, he was still surrounded by illusions.

Li Ying really didn't dare to speak any more. He was dragged by Long Shen and flew forward. Give way automatically.

He also became more deeply aware of the strength of this man.

Unmoved by external objects, unaffected by any weak emotions, Longshen's heart is like a rock, and these mirror images naturally cannot affect him.

Li Ying was born in a famous school, but he is not as strong as Zhang Song and Liu Qingbo, and his edge is naturally much restrained. In the eyes of elders, he is still stable, but he inevitably has the pride of famous disciples. Before entering the Special Administration Bureau, apart from Wu Bingtian's group, the other two groups and three groups, he also felt that they were not good enough. Although Long Shen's name has long been known to his ears, in his heart, Long Shen is only one person after all, and he is not as good as Maoshan Long. Hushan is such a great faction with profound background.

But at this moment, he realized that even Headmaster Mao Shan mentioned Long Shen with awe, not because Long Shen was the deputy director of the Special Administration Bureau, with a high position and profound qualifications, but because of Long Shen's strength.

Whether it is the right way or the monsters, human society and the animal world are not different in the final analysis. In essence, they are constantly pursuing their own strength. The strong may not be able to be respected by their conduct, but they will make people have to face it.

Li Ying was suddenly very happy.

Fortunately, Long Shen is on his side, not the enemy, otherwise he will not have the opportunity to go out now, and can only be like Ding Lan, his soul is detained, or even dead without a whole body.

Thinking of Ding Lan, Li Ying couldn't help shuddering.

In just a short while of his mind wandering, Long Shen has found the final exit of the mirror space.

The sword light in his hand flew up and shot forward with his mind, eventually stabbing a pine tree in one of the fragments.

Li Ying couldn't see why the pine tree was the key to breaking the formation, but Long Shen could see it at a glance. Wherever the sword light went, the pine tree disappeared suddenly, and even the mirror fragments floating and flying all over the body were all in an instant. disappeared in between.

The surrounding scene suddenly changed!

There are no countless repeated mirror images, no mirror reflections and fragments that confuse the sight. They are on an open lawn, not far from the lake and mountains, and the blue sky is quiet and peaceful.

This is an excellent vacation spot. If it was Long Shen who was pretending to be before, he would be so happy that he immediately picked up the camera and started posing the angle, but he is not a true photography enthusiast after all, it is just for him to blend in with Atsuta God. An identity that was picked up by the palace.

Li Ying was even more nervous. Without Long Shen to say, he also knew that this would not be the original scene in Atsuta Shrine, that is to say, they came to the illusion again?

"Dragon Bureau, is this an illusion?" he asked in a low voice.

Long Shen gave him an unexpected answer: "No."

Before Li Ying could ask another question, Long Shen answered his doubts: "This is also true."

If this is true, does that mean they are still in the barrier of Atsuta Shrine?

Or, they have left Atsuta Shrine and arrived at another place?

Li Ying found that Long Shen's words were vague, no matter how he explained it.

I only heard the man beside me say again: "Don't forget what I said just now."

Li Ying smiled bitterly, he suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the winter solstice, how much comprehension did he have to be able to stay by Long Shen's side, and not to doubt his IQ from time to time?

However, he also understood that he was seriously injured, and his mind was not as clear as normal. Long Shen wanted him to mobilize his thinking ability, ignore his own condition, and avoid going into a coma due to his injuries.

The wind with the fragrance of flowers blowing on the face makes people drowsy, and there seems to be singing not far away, clear and graceful, like the tone of his sister's singing when she was a child, young and innocent, carefree, in such an environment , it is difficult for people to mention the fighting spirit, and Li Ying is no exception. He almost involuntarily relaxed his mind, but deep in his heart, he suddenly remembered Long Shen's reminder.

True and false, false and true.

This sentence was as cold as the Lingtai, and it pulled him back from the drowsiness and warmth. Li Ying pinched his palm, and the tingling and sticky liquid made him instantly alert.

There is no warm fragrance, no singing, the lake water is still lake water, and the grass is still grass.

It turned out to be true, false and illusory, Li Ying couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, unable to imagine what the consequences would be if he really fell asleep just now.

Maybe never wake up again.

He couldn't help looking at Long Shen next to him, wanting to gain some confidence from him.

But Long Shen was gone.

Li Ying's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help panicking. His foot on the grass sank unknowingly. Li Ying lowered his head and found that the grass had turned into a swamp at some point, with wild grass growing around the lake. In the swamp, unable to extricate himself, he could only let his body sink slowly, and it was over his knees in a blink of an eye.

He struggled to move forward, but this would only make his body sink even more. There were no objects around him that could be clinging to. Li Ying subconsciously touched back and remembered that his sword had been snatched from the last time he was imprisoned. gone.

"Dragon Bureau? Dragon Bureau!"

He pinched his palms fiercely, closed his eyes, and opened them again, but there was still a swamp in front of him, his body had sunk to the top of his chest and abdomen, and his breathing began to feel a little difficult. Through his eyes, he buried his whole person here, and over a period of decades and hundreds of years, it slowly melted and merged with the swamp.

Li Ying felt liquid dripping from his nose. He reached out and touched it. The blood on his hand was probably caused by the compression of the original wound on his chest and abdomen. The more difficult it is, he can't convince himself that this is an illusion, so he can only close his eyes and meditate on the spirituality of Maoshan.

After reading a few words, his mood gradually calmed down. He felt the pressure on his chest suddenly lightened. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood before opening his eyes.

Sure enough, it was an illusion, and Long Shen was still standing beside him, with the grass under his feet and the lake in front.

As soon as Li Ying's body softened, he was about to fall down.

Long Shen stretched out his hand and grabbed his arm, his expression was calm, as if he had just finished running 5000 meters.

"How long has it been..." Li Ying gasped.

"Only three seconds." Long Shen said.

For three seconds, he seemed to have experienced a lifetime.

Li Ying smiled bitterly, barely stood still with Long Shen's strong support, and said ashamed: "Sorry, Long Bureau, I'm too useless."

Long Shen said: "Yinyu has set up layers of illusions here. It's good that you can break free in such a short period of time."

"So, what about the winter solstice?" Li Ying couldn't help but ask.

Excellent peers inevitably have a heart for comparison, and Li Ying is not exempt.

Long Shen suddenly smiled.

This smile was like rain over the sky, and the stars were hanging in the sky, and Li Ying was suddenly a little surprised.

But before he could take a closer look, Long Shen had returned to his usual calm.

"He is similar to you, you have to have confidence in yourself."

Li Ying suspected that this was just what Long Shen comforted himself, otherwise how could the other party smile so happily when he mentioned the winter solstice, but he didn't delve into it any further, the tiredness of breaking free from the illusion had exhausted all his strength .

He didn't have time to think more, because the next moment, the calm lake surface suddenly trembled violently, and circle after circle of ripples rose from the center of the lake, and the amplitude became larger and larger. After a few seconds, a behemoth jumped out of the water. Come out, whistling to declare your existence!

At first glance, the body of the monster almost covered the sky and the earth, the shadows covered it, and it also blocked the light of Longshen and the others.

When most of the monster's body was exposed to the water, Li Ying couldn't help being shocked, and his expression changed greatly.

It's like-

The eight giant snakes were twisted into a ball, and the joints were blurred, but they were indeed one. The eight hideous heads were waving in the air, the eight tails were slamming the lake frantically, and the mouths with wide fangs were all spitting out huge. The snake letter, impatiently revealed the arrogance and greed that want to devour everything.

Orochi?

Li Ying couldn't believe it, wasn't this Japanese legendary monster killed long ago?

"Is this an illusion again?"

"No, it's true, be careful!"

As soon as Long Shen finished speaking, a huge snake's tail was already thrown towards them. Li Ying was dragged away by Long Shen, and the grass was heavily drawn by the snake's tail, leaving a scorch mark in an instant.

Li Ying still seemed to smell the burnt smell, he was pushed aside by Long Shen, staggered a few steps back and fell to the ground.

Long Shen jumped up and waved his finger, and the sword light immediately appeared from an unknown place and shot towards one of the snake heads.

Li Ying understands that his physical condition is unable to fight at all, and it is good not to be a burden. He immediately finds a hidden place to hide and watch the battle, and only asks the Orochi to not find him, otherwise he will have to involve Long Shen distracted.
