Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 53 True and False, False and True
The handsome young man, dressed in light blue clothes, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, black hair and thin lips slightly pursed, could not be Mo Yi, whom Ping Lili had been thinking about day and night. Who else could it be?
"Mo Yi! How come you are here?" Ping Lili exclaimed subconsciously, only to realize that she was not in the Ruoye tribe's palace at this moment. Everything in front of her looked like the Death Creek outside Yonghui City.
However, Mo Yi did not say a word at this time. He stood not far away with his lips tightly pursed, looking at Ping Lili. His eyes were as calm as water, which made Ping Lili feel a little scared.
Could this be the illusion that the imperial physician had mentioned before?
Ping Lili shuddered subconsciously, as if she realized in an instant that everything in front of her seemed unreal.
However, the longing for Mo Yi in her heart suddenly surged like a tide. Even though she knew that what she saw was just an illusion, Ping Lili still hoped that he could say something to her. Even just one sentence would be enough to calm all the anxiety and impetuous emotions in her heart.
"Mo Yi..." She called out the name that she had been thinking about day and night, and walked towards him step by step, with a mist in her golden brown eyes...
Mo Yi's eyes suddenly became as dark as midnight. When the distance between the two was only inches away, suddenly, a dark green halo appeared in Mo Yi's hand, and the "Dragon Slaying Roar" appeared in his palm as if out of thin air. The target of the "Dragon Slaying Roar" was Ping Lili.
However, something even more unexpected happened.
At the moment when Mo Yi suddenly attacked, a short black iron blade with a golden glow, like thunder and lightning, had already penetrated deeply into his heart without any hesitation!
Just as Mo Yi's black eyes flashed with a trace of disbelief, he heard Gong Lili slowly leaning into his ear and whispering softly, "I've said it before, my heart is as hard as iron . You think too much of me if you want to confuse my mind with this level of illusion."
Then, the short black iron blade was pulled out instantly, and Ping Lili's five fingers moved together. A golden light flashed, and Mo Yi disappeared in front of Ping Lili like a wisp of light smoke, as if nothing had happened. The scene in front of Ping Lili became blurred, as if he had fallen into a chaotic virtual world again.
Ping Lili sighed slightly in her heart. In fact, she was not as relaxed as she said just now. It was not an easy thing to fight against the person you loved. Even if you knew that the other party was an illusion, it still required great self-control and courage to break the illusion without hesitation in an instant.
If it was the previous Yan Lili, he would not be able to do such a thing. Even if he knew that the other party was fake and wanted to confuse him, he would not fight back. However, after experiencing several life and death trials in the virtual world, Yan Lili's mind has become mature, or in other words, he has become more ruthless.
When it is time to strike, strike without any hesitation; this is the rule for survival in the underworld!
This is what Wei Xingying once said to Ying Lili, and Ying Lili has always kept it in mind. So, even if the other party is Mo Yi, the Mo Yi she loves deeply, she can take action without hesitation and break the phantom in an instant.
Ping Lili looked at the constantly changing scenes around him, wondering in his heart whether this was the illusion brought about by the blue water that the imperial physician had mentioned. Although he had just broken the phantom brought about by the illusion, if he did not find a way to get out of it, he would still have to sit and wait for death.
"Master Pinglili, Master Pinglili!" Just when Pinglili had no idea what to do, suddenly, he heard waves of familiar and urgent calls.
The voice sounded extremely anxious and worried, but it also brought a reassuring feeling, just like the feeling that the upright young man brought to Peng Lili, so reassuring.
That was Yan Zheng! Ping Lili quickly realized that it was Yan Zheng's voice. A light bulb went off in her head. Could it be that Yan Zheng had discovered that he was trapped in an illusion?
A light bulb went off in Pinglili's head. Since this voice was real, then everything would be easy.
I simply sat down, pinched the heart-searching technique with my right hand, pointed to the sky with my left hand, and slowly closed my eyes...
It was at this moment that all kinds of ghostly sounds came to her ears, howling, screaming, the collision of weapons, roaring, crying, crazy laughter, all kinds of sounds intertwined in her ears, as if trying to destroy the tranquility in Ping Lili's heart, or in other words, trying to interfere with her thoughts.
But at this moment, Ping Lili was completely focused, letting all kinds of voices interweave in her mind, but her mind was always closely following Yan Zheng's urgent calls, where was it? Where was the exit to get out of the illusion?
Lord Popilili! Lord Popilili!
As if sensing the thoughts of Ping Lili, Yan Zheng's calls became more and more urgent, and his voice became clearer and clearer. Ping Lili felt that his spiritual consciousness was being drawn, slowly moving towards a bright place...
When Ping Lili opened her eyes again, she was shocked. The dark and upright face that was magnified in front of her eyes could only be Yan Zheng.
At this time, Yan Zheng's face turned purple, probably because he was scared.
Ping Lili choked on the water twice and coughed a few times before he found his voice again. Looking at the anxious tribesman in front of him, he had a thousand words to say, but in the end, he turned his face into one sentence: "I told you a long time ago, just call me Lili, don't add so many unnecessary titles, why should we be so distant between you and me?"
Yan Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yan Lili had finally regained consciousness. However, he did not expect that Yan Lili would say something irrelevant for no reason just after waking up from the illusion. He was stunned and thought he had heard it wrong. However, Yan Lili looked serious at this time, and it did not seem like he was joking. His throat was choked, but he did not say anything in the end.
Pinglili coughed again and reached out to cover his mouth, only to find that the injuries on his arms had healed!
His arms were intact, as if they had never been injured at all. He looked down at the arrow wound on his left shoulder, which had healed! He raised his breath and luck, and it was just like before the injury! He was overjoyed. This "Nine Heavens Jade Dew" was indeed worthy of its reputation. It was right for him to come to this imperial physician.
At this time, Ying Lili just discovered that the imperial physician was looking at her with a smile. Seeing Ying Lili wake up, he gently shook his head and said, "You are better than me, Miss Ying. You always surprise me. You are the first one who can regain consciousness so quickly without being confused by hallucinations after soaking in this blue water."
"I've already told you that my heart is as hard as iron. Do you think I'm lying?" Ping Lili smiled sweetly and slowly stood up. She looked at her wet and tattered skirt and spread her hands, as if she was relying on the imperial physician: "Anyway, I already owe you a lot of favors, so why not owe you more? You see, I can't go out to see people in this state. I hope the imperial physician will be generous and give me a set of clean clothes."
"Why do you trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I will harm you?" Finally unable to help himself, the imperial physician asked casually while leading Ping Lili to the inner room to change clothes.
Ying Lili thought, if she told him the theory of "barking dogs don't bite", would he stab her to death with a silver needle? After thinking about it, she decided not to do such a stupid thing. She pondered for a while and decided to change to a more shocking or more direct statement: "If you want to kill me, that arrow will kill me directly. Why go to such great lengths and heal my wounds?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the imperial physician's body stiffened slightly. Although it was only a moment of hesitation that was fleeting, Ping Lili saw it very clearly. She once again confirmed her speculation in her heart.
"My guess is, although the person who shot the arrow was not you, he is definitely related to you. To put it more simply, you are in the same group." Ping Lili lowered his voice and spoke calmly, as if he was talking about something unimportant, and the expression on his face seemed to show no intention of pursuing the matter at all.
"How did you know?" After a slight pause, the imperial physician Zheng was straightforward and did not seem to deny it. At this time, he and Ying Lili had already walked into the wing room one after the other, and Yan Zheng was left in the backyard because of Ying Lili's insistence. Or, Ying Lili deliberately used the excuse of changing clothes to send Yan Zheng away, because the topic she wanted to discuss with the imperial physician Zheng was not suitable for the young and upright Sha Mo wizard to hear.
"It's really fortunate that there was no damage to the vital parts and meridians."
Let me ask, if the person who shot the arrow really wanted to kill me, why would he do such a well-intentioned and elaborate thing? He deliberately created such a horrific injury, but in fact, he avoided the meridians and vital points in an extremely exquisite way. Although Ping Lili had noticed it because of Yan Zheng's scream, based on the power of that arrow, if the person who shot the arrow had not done it on purpose, Ping Lili's injury would definitely be more than a hundred times more serious than it is now!
Thinking about the strange behavior of the imperial physician and the treatment method that seemed to be tailor-made for him, as well as the inspiration from the illusion created by the "Nine Heavens Jade Dew" just now, Ping Lili suddenly understood something.
Even if this imperial physician was not the one who shot the arrow, he must be an insider, or one of the planners.
She walked towards the chief physician step by step: "So, are you ready to explain to me the reason behind this, or introduce me to the archer?"
