All of this seemed so natural and ordinary, but in this natural and ordinary atmosphere, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong, even though she couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong with this space.
“It’s odd; why do they wear their clothes backwards?” While walking down the street, she noticed that everyone she saw, whether children or adults, had their clothes on backwards.
“Oh, that’s the way it’s done around here. Local customs vary from place to place! Hehehe.” The old man smiled as he stroked his beard. When he came to a fruit tree, he picked some fruit and gave them to Feng Jiu. “Come on, take these first to pad your belly.”
Feng Jiu noticed that the fruit he was holding was fresh and moist. She wiped the fruit and bit into it because she was hungry. It tasted crisp and sweet, especially its juicy flesh, which quenched her thirst. When she looked up and was about to say thank you, she noticed that the old man in front of her had vanished.
“Uncle?”
She called out, a slight frown on her face. She looked around, but everythmg was still as it should be. The adults and children were occupied, and the children who had been climbing up and down the fruit trees were still playing there.
“Is it an illusory realm?” she squinted as she looked around.
She seemed to have met an old master today. The old man had a peaceful breath and there was no smell of blood. She had not anticipated this hidden old master would trap her in this illusory realm.
Naturally, as it was an illusory realm, there was a way to break it. But what’s with these people? Why did these people appear if it’s an illusory realm?
While she was searching for a way to break the illusion inside the vast illusory realm, an old man with a crutch held a mirror in his hand and gazed at it. There was Feng Jiu’s figure in the mirror…
Two women pulled Feng Jiu down the path. “Let’s go. In my home, there is fruit wine and roast meat. I’ll take you there to eat.’
“Exactly. You can have whatever you want here. Come on, we’ll take you out to eat.”
The two women took Feng Jiu to their home. There, she ate a lot of food and drank a lot of wine. When she said she wanted to leave, she was sent a wine that she couldn’t refuse.
She ate and drank until she was tipsy from the wine and collapsed on the table. The two women simply smiled as they assisted her into the room and laid her down to rest before leaving.
Feng Jiu opened his eyes after they left. This place was so real that she thought she’d walked into a farmhouse. There was no malice among the people here. They were only some ordinary peasant families. Was it possible to create such a place from an illusory land?
She sat in bed contemplating for a long time, unable to come up with a solution.
What exactly was the old man’s intention? Why did he bring her to this location? What an amazing feat to accomplish all of this in complete silence!
She dozed off in bed until it was dark. She jumped to her feet and looked around the room. When she stepped outside of a certain range, she would come across something invisible to the naked eye but very real. It was strange.
How was it possible that these arrays and boundary barriers were so strange? She was perplexed. She was becoming increasingly puzzled, especially since she passed this place without noticing the illu sion array laid here..
