Is this an illusion or reality?

This was the first feeling after waking up from Xianmeng.

After all, this place is too similar to the previous illusion.

Seeing her wake up, Lei Ze's bitter face immediately turned into a smile: "I knew you would survive this catastrophe."

The general also wiped his nose and said, "You don't know, this time you are more severe than the calamity that the master has experienced."

Xian Meng was a little confused. How could this be exactly the same as the lines in the illusion?

She asked weakly, "Is this another illusion?"

Lei Ze shook his head: "How could it be an illusion? Okay, don't say anything. Your situation is much more serious than mine last time. You even broke your nerves this time."

"You can't feel your limbs now."

Xian Meng nodded.

Lei Ze smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry. Although your injury this time is more serious than mine last time, you will definitely recover faster than me last time."

"I discovered a new method of alchemy in the Yanyang Sect's Tibetan scriptures. It will definitely be very beneficial. Moreover, the general and I are both Yuanying masters. Using the Three Condensation Divine Water to help you recover will definitely be better than what I did before."

Just as Xian Meng was about to speak, Lei Ze interrupted her: "Don't talk, just rest in peace."

Xian Meng smiled, but she still strongly doubted whether this was an illusion, but there was no fluctuation.

.....

Time passed quickly, and half a year passed. Under the care of Lei Ze and the general, Xian Meng was finally able to walk.

But she liked it better when her immortal brother held her in his arms and took her out for a ride when she couldn't walk. It was as beautiful and sweet as the dream world.

It rained on the island that day, and the drizzle added a sense of tranquility and freshness to the entire island. Xianmeng stood in front of the window, looking at the rain outside, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart.

Lei Ze came to her side and asked, "Why? Want to go out for a walk?"

Xianmeng smiled and said, "The weather is bad today, so let's stay indoors."

Lei Ze said: "How can we, as cultivators, be bound by the heavens?"

After saying that, he looked out the window and yelled, "Hey!"

The dark clouds in the sky dissipated in an instant, the sky became clear again, and the sun shone down, sprinkling on every corner of the island.

Under the sunshine, the rain turned into crystal water droplets, hanging on the leaves and petals, sparkling with light. A rainbow spanned the sky, gorgeous and dazzling, like a bridge to fairyland.

Xian Meng's eyes were full of stars as she watched this scene. Although she knew that it was just the immortal brother using the Samadhi True Fire to evaporate the dark clouds on the island, she still thought it was very handsome.

Xian Meng looked at Lei Ze, his eyes full of worship and admiration: "Brother Xianren, you are really amazing."

Lei Ze was also very happy after hearing this: "Of course, I have boundless magical powers."

Xian Meng smiled slightly, and a sweetness arose in her heart.

She knew that although the path of cultivation was full of hardships, with the company of her immortal brother and general sister, everything would become better.

"Oh, by the way, where is the general sister?"

Lei Ze said: "This idiot, since you were able to get out of bed, she has resumed her original schedule and spends half of the day sleeping. I really don't know why this big idiot loves to sleep so much."

Xian Meng was amused by Lei Ze, and she consoled him: "Okay, Brother Xianren, cats are like this. Look at the little wild cats on this island, don't they also take a nap whenever they want."

"Let's go for a walk."

Lei Ze nodded: "Okay, I like taking a walk after the rain, it has a unique flavor."

Lei Ze turned around and was about to leave when he saw Xian Meng gently pulling Lei Ze's sleeve: "Um...Brother Xianren."

Lei Ze stopped, turned around and looked at Xian Meng: "What's wrong, Xian Meng?"

Xian Meng looked down at her feet, her voice a little hesitant: "Well... I still like the feeling of being held by you, otherwise, Brother Xianren, you should just hold me and take a walk, just like before."

Lei Ze smiled and said, "You can leave now, right?"

Xian Meng smiled slightly, with a hint of shyness in her eyes: "Yes, but I still feel more at ease when being held by Brother Xianren. It's the princess hug you mentioned."

Lei Ze smiled, gently picked up Xian Meng, and said softly: "Well, since you like, let's take a walk like this."

Xian Meng leaned lightly on Lei Ze's shoulder, feeling his warmth and sense of security.

The two walked out of the attic and walked slowly on the island. The sunlight shone on them through the air after the rain, casting a layer of golden light on their figures.

Xian Meng looked at the scenery around her, her heart filled with happiness, but she suddenly remembered something, looked up and asked: "Hey, Brother Xianren, do you remember that you wanted to tell me a story before? It's been more than a hundred years, and you haven't told me yet."

Lei Ze smiled: "You still remember it, okay, okay, what story do you want to hear?"

Xian Meng said, "Just listen to the story of how you were a cow or a horse in your previous life."

Lei Ze shook his head: "No."

Xian Meng asked: "Why?"

Lei Ze responded: "Think about it, the illusions that Heaven has given you this time are so realistic. If I tell you about my past life, Heaven will know about it. What if He uses these to create a more realistic illusion for me when I become a god?"

Xian Meng nodded after hearing this: "So that's how it is. All right then, but you must tell me when you become a god."

Lei Ze said: "Well...definitely, or can we go to my original world together then?"

Xian Meng was a little excited: "Really? Brother Xianren, it's a deal."

"I have long wanted to see the world where everyone is a beast of burden."

Lei Ze was a little confused after hearing this: "What do you mean by a world where everyone is a beast of burden? It's not like that."

Xian Meng said: "Ah, but people like you are nothing but cattle and horses in that world, and you can't even turn over. Is there anyone else who can turn over?"

Lei Ze smiled and said, "Oh, am I an orphan in that world? It's normal to be helpless and work like a beast of burden."

"Okay, I won't tell you about cows and horses anymore."

"You want to hear a story? Then I'll tell you a very interesting story. Let's call it "The Man in the Shell"."

Xian Meng said with anticipation in her eyes: "Wow, tell me quickly."

Lei Ze nodded and began to tell the story.

"In a small town far away, there lived a teacher of ancient languages ​​named Xiaofu. He was a very strange man, always wearing a thick coat and a hat, even in the middle of summer."

"Xiaofu is a very solitary person. He doesn't socialize with others and always keeps himself in a 'shell'."

"He always sang praises of the past, of things that others thought were outdated. In fact, the ancient languages ​​he taught were like a coat and a hat to him, allowing him to hide from real life."

"Of course, his thoughts are also like this. He tries his best to hide his thoughts in a shell."

"Only when there is an official notice that stipulates what is prohibited, does it seem clear to him. He thinks it is right. If there is no official notice or clear official regulations, he thinks it is not allowed."

"Even when a new store opened in town with official approval, he would always shake his head and whisper: 'Of course, it's fine, it's good, but don't make any trouble.'"

"Anything that is against the law, out of the norm, and not in accordance with the rules, even though it seems to have nothing to do with him, makes him unhappy."

"When students were making a lot of noise in class, he would sigh and say, 'Oh, I just hope this doesn't get to the ears of the authorities, and I just hope there won't be any trouble.'"

"In short, he is a stickler for convention. He doesn't like change and is afraid of anything that might cause trouble."

"The people in the town were both curious and afraid of Xiaofu. Everyone talked about him behind his back, but no one dared to say anything to his face. Xiaofu lived a lonely life in his own "housing"."

"But one day, a new teacher came to the town. Her name was Xiaoka. She was young, beautiful, and cheerful, forming a sharp contrast with Xiaofu. Xiaoka's arrival brought new vitality to the life of the town, and everyone liked her very much."

"Ka came with his brother Ko."

"After learning about Xiaofu's situation, Xiaoka decided to try to get close to him and change his life. She took the initiative to communicate with Belikov and invited him to various activities, trying to get him out of his own rut."

"Xiaofu began to feel confused and uneasy, but he couldn't resist Xiaoka's enthusiasm. After all, he is also a man."

"Plus, others encouraged me to do so, and Xiaofu also felt that he should find a partner."

Lei Ze stopped and cleared his throat, but Xian Meng was listening intently. Seeing Lei Ze stop, she quickly asked, "What was the result? Xiaofu must have lived a happy life with Xiaoka, just like us."

Lei Ze smiled and continued:

"No, one day Xiaoka came to Suneo on a bicycle."

Lei Ze looked at Xian Meng with a puzzled look on his face. He knew that Xian Meng didn't quite understand the concept of a bicycle.

So he put Xian Meng down from his arms, took out his little notebook from the storage ring, and opened a page to show Xian Meng.

There was a picture of a bicycle on it, and Lei Ze even drew the internal structure in great detail. Xian Meng looked at the drawing and said in surprise: "Wow, this is a bicycle, it looks amazing."

Lei Ze nodded: "Yes, the means of transportation in my world are very common in my hometown. But in this story, this bicycle is still a bit too advanced for Suneo. Xiao Ka came to Suneo on such a bicycle."

"So Xiaofu was very unhappy. After all, in his opinion, this new thing made him very unhappy. And he thought it was inappropriate."

"So he went to Xiaoka's house the next day and decided to talk to Xiaoka about it."

"But Xiaoka is not at home. Only her brother Xiaoke is at home."

"Xiaofu said to her brother Xiaoke in a very sad tone: 'If teachers ride bicycles, what good can we expect from students? All they can do is turn around and walk with their heads! Since the authorities haven't issued a notice to allow this, they can't do it.'"

"The young man continued, 'I was terrified yesterday! When I saw your sister, everything went dark before my eyes. A lady, or a girl, riding a bicycle - it was terrible!'"

"Then Xiaofu said to Xiaoke with a fearful look on his face: 'If this gets to the ears of the leader...will this end well?'"

Xian Meng was puzzled when she heard this: "This little man is a little sick, is it necessary to do this?"

Lei Ze smiled and said, "Hey, Xiao Ke thinks so too. What do you think he will do?"

Xian Meng said, "I think he asked this trap man to get out."

Lei Ze nodded: "Indeed, Xiao Ke did the same thing. But he went a little further than you thought. He grabbed Suneo's collar and pushed him down the stairs."

"The young man tumbled down the stairs. The stairs were high and steep, but he rolled down to the bottom safely."

"Unfortunately, when he rolled down the stairs, Xiao Ka came back with two ladies."

"They stood downstairs, stunned."

"It was not until he stood up that Xiaoka recognized him. She looked at his funny face and his wrinkled coat, and didn't understand what had happened. She thought he had fallen down accidentally, and she couldn't help laughing."

"This loud and clear laughter ended everything, ended the expected partner, and also ended Xiaofu's life on earth."

"That's the end of the story."

Xian Meng asked, "Ah? What do you mean? My husband is dead?"

Lei Ze nodded: "Yes, Suneo is dead."

"But life in the small town is still the same, as depressing and boring as before. It won't become interesting just because a person in a suit dies."

Xian Meng said: "This town is too scary. I can't imagine what this town would be like if it were full of people like Xiaofu."

Lei Ze smiled without saying anything, then picked up Xian Meng and continued walking on the beach.

Xian Meng couldn't calm down for a long time in Lei Ze's arms. I wanted the immortal brother to tell me the story of his time as a cow or horse, but he told me the story of a man in a shell.

Um.....

Could it be that the immortal brother’s previous life was like this town?

They are all self-contained people who refuse to accept any changes, are afraid of chaos, and are afraid of changing everything that already exists.

Oh...that's what I'm saying. Otherwise, the sons of oxen and horses are oxen and horses. It's normal for an orphan like Brother Xianren to be an ox or horse.

It's the people who don't want to change, the people who can command the cattle and horses don't want to change.

But the cattle and horses in the world before the immortal brother were not like those in this world. They had powers that could surpass those of mortals, so cattle and horses were always cattle and horses, and the sons of cattle and horses were still cattle and horses...

But the sons of those who command the oxen and horses can command the sons of the oxen and horses.

Lei Ze looked at the dreamy fairy in his arms and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. This is just a story. It has nothing to do with my previous life."

Xian Meng nodded: "I understand, I understand, Brother Xianren."
