Dinon

The imperial capital was still brightly lit.At that moment, Yuan Shuyi felt that the world around them was still. They couldn't hear the noise of people, the sound of fireworks blooming in the sky of the imperial capital, or even the "cracking" sound of the candles that were close at hand. At the stall selling glutinous rice balls, she met people she had never seen since she was born.

"What am I?" The unattractive stall owner smiled slightly, and the same blue eyes met Yuan Shuyi's hazy tearful eyes.

"Yuan Cemo." Yuan Shuyi gritted his teeth and cried at him, "Yuan Cemo! Since you didn't want me back then why did you play tricks on me like this!"

"Hey, I still have a bad temper, and I'm still so rude." The "man" Yuan Shuyi called Yuan Cemo shook his head helplessly, but raised his palm and waved it slowly from his forehead. The stunning woman in the red gauze appeared.

The blue eyes, the crimson gauze, and the extremely glamorous appearance, if it weren't for the different hair colors, it would almost make people think that they are the same person.

"I'm not polite to care about your business!" Yuan Shuyi looked at her stubbornly, but tears could not stop streaming from her eyes, "Remember, Yuan Shuyi's matter is not the same as Yuan Cemo's. It doesn't matter at all!"

"Hey, who said it doesn't matter? Aren't we all surnamed Yuan?" Yuan Cemo pulled the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to make the fierce crying girl laugh, but it was obvious that her joke was not very clever. Listening to her like this After speaking, the girl cried even more fiercely.

Although their family is not from the Central Plains, but because they have been neighbors with the Central Plains people for a long time, it is inevitable that they have some habits of the Central Plains people, such as surnames.Now looking at their similar looks and their names, anyone with a discerning eye can see their relationship.

"He has a bad temper, but he's pretty smart." Yuan Cemo coughed, and changed the subject, "How do you know it's me?"

"Get them all away, it's an eyesore." Yuan Shuyi didn't answer, but sniffled and said in a hoarse voice.

"Is Chen'er going to get rid of it too?" Yuan Cemo looked at her playfully and asked.

"Anyway, it's not true." Yuan Shuyi said in a low voice, but cast a nostalgic glance at Tuobachen who seemed to be frozen, and said to himself as if to comfort herself, "Anyway, she is fake."

"I didn't expect you to see it very clearly." Yuan Cemo sighed, and with a wave of his hand, the lively scene all over the street before dissipated, and even Tuobachen who was standing in front of them disappeared. Empty and desolate, people can't believe that the world just now is nothingness. "Now you can answer how do I know it's me? If you didn't suddenly recognize me and break my illusion, I thought my illusion was invincible."

"Where did "Invincible" come from?" With a sneer, Yuan Shuyi mocked, "Don't think that you are the only high priest in the world."

"You mean——Xu Yu?" Yuan Cemo was woken up, frowned and thought for a while, then asked puzzledly, "But she's not in the capital? How could she break my illusion?"

"Don't make such a stupid expression with a face that resembles mine." Yuan Shuyi raised her head and cast a glance at her with a cold voice, and said disdainfully, "Do you think that only she can defeat your technique in the capital? "

"I know!" Yuan Cemo was not angry at being treated like this, but after a little thought, he understood the key point, "It must be that Xu Yu told you about the ability of our high priest before. No wonder "Yuan Cemo nodded, "Xuyu is also a good boy." As she spoke, she glanced slightly at the grown-up girl in front of her, seeing her appearance similar to her own, and couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

"I--"

"I know." Yuan Shuyi coldly interrupted her half of what she said, "Isn't it that the high priest can't marry others, heh, it's really lucky that there is such a rule, otherwise with your appearance, I will I don't know how many brothers and sisters there are."

"...whatever you think." Yuan Cemo remained silent for a long while, and only spit out this sentence under Yuan Shuyi's almost fire-spitting gaze.

Then there is silence.

Dead water-like silence.

Although the people in the hallucination disappeared, the street and the things on the street were still there. Yuan Shuyi walked to the stall silently, opened the pot, and saw some glutinous rice balls inside, regardless of whether it was an illusion or not. Whether the glutinous rice balls were cold or hot, she scooped one up with a spoon and brought it to her mouth. She didn't care if tears dripped down the spoon into the bowl. , just contained in the mouth, wanting to keep its temperature generally.

She had never eaten anything cooked by her mother.

Even in her dream, just once.

I should also thank Xuyu, it was she who told me about the illusion-making ability possessed by the high priest, and told me that the personalities of the people in the illusion are opposite to those in reality, so I saw Liang Xuyu who was honest with her about the secrets of the family. Seeing the lively and active Tuo Bachen, who was still intact, and seeing the Fourth Elder who killed his clansmen for his love, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Because this illusion is a dream, which is determined by the dreamer's inner thoughts. In other words, it is because the reality is the opposite that the dream appears real.

Because those are the longings and pains deep in her heart.

"Tangyuan is also called floating yuanzi." Yuan Shuyi slowly put down the glutinous rice ball in his hand and looked at the glutinous rice balls floating up and down in the soup, smiling and crying, "It means floating reunion. It was very strange why you gave I created the dream of Lantern Festival, but after thinking about Xu Yu's words, I felt that I was still the same."

Yuan Cemo glanced at her, and casually threw her a bottle of wine, Yuan Shuyi happily caught it and held it in his arms, seeing that it was indeed the kind he stole from the wine shop in the illusion.

"This is?"

"I brewed it myself. Otherwise, how do you think the illusion can be supported? In order to let you have a real feeling, I have spent a lot of money." Yuan Cemo smiled bitterly, "Who knew you could drink so much, I have survived all these years You drank all the wine."

"Hmph, I said why those wines have no strength." Yuan Shuyi laughed at her fiercely, "So you made them."

"It doesn't matter what you say." Yuan Cemo looked at her with a smile, unsealed the wine and winked at her, smiled and said, "Anyway, I saw something good today, how should I say it, um , It’s a bit more exciting than the show on the stage.”

Seeing her smile, Yuan Shuyi was taken aback, then her face turned pale, and she said how this smile is so familiar! "It's you who laughed on the moon?!"

"Fortunately, I gave you a lot of hints by expressly hinting. Who knew that you had to show up to recognize me based on what Xu Yu told you." Yuan Cemo was half relieved and half joking, "I take it back. I think you are very happy." Smart words."

"Why are you doing this! It's my secret anyway, it's my dream!" Yuan Shuyi was about to cry, and they all said that they think about it day by day and dream about it at night, so there is a difference between the things in the dream and the reality. A bit involved, and this dream is created based on the memory of the dreamer, and if the dreamer, the illusion maker, participates in the dreamer's dream, he can peek at all the memories related to the dreamer.

"What does that matter." Yuan Cemo smiled happily, took a sip of wine, looked at her slowly and said, "Anyway, you will forget all these things after you wake up, of course..." She was talking He laughed even more happily, "The shame of being seen* by me will also be forgotten."

Yuan Shuyi was silent for a while, and then said, "Is it possible that I won't remember all the things in this illusion when I wake up?"

"Of course, you've heard of dreams in deep sleep, do you still remember such things?" Yuan Cemo raised his eyebrows and asked indifferently, the expression similar to himself was full of smiles, Yuan Shuyi really didn't like it Understand what's funny about her.

Picking up the wine in his hand, Yuan Shuyi raised his head and drank it vigorously, not caring whether he would choke himself.

"Hey, it's too vulgar for you to drink like this. Don't you know that wine and tea are the same, and you have to taste it to have a taste."

"I'm vulgar..." Yuan Shuyi paused as he spoke, turned his head to look at the smiling Yuan Cemo, and said with a blank expression, "I'm just talking about why Xu Yu is so verbose all of a sudden. It's you."

"Ah, I was discovered by you." Yuan Cemo smiled, completely free of the embarrassment of being caught playing a prank.

"If Xu Yu knows that you have done those stupid things in her name, she will definitely be so angry that she will kill you." Yuan Shuyi continued with a blank expression.

"So this is the benefit of illusion creation," Yuan Cemo looked at her with a smile, nodded and said, "It's like destroying a corpse after killing someone. When you wake up, you won't remember anything. Except me Who else remembers this? Of course, Xu Yu has no way of knowing. I'm really smart." At the end, she still didn't forget to put gold on her face, and Yuan Shuyi had never seen one thicker than her. Shameless!

"...how did you cast an illusion on me?" Yuan Shuyi was puzzled, "I remember that this thing must be assisted by medicine, you can change your appearance, and you must have pretended to be someone I don't recognize in reality." People. Although I think it's shameless to praise myself, I still have to say, I think I'm still wary, so how did you get it?" Yuan Shuyi remained expressionless.

"Anyway, it's an illusion, so it's okay to tell you." Yuan Cemo said, stood up from the glutinous rice ball stand, turned around, and a silver-haired old woman with a hunched back appeared in front of her eyes, "It seems that your tutor No, I have to make up for you!"

"You are the old woman Chen'er and I met in the woods!" Yuan Shuyi lost his voice and said in surprise, "You are the one who opened the tavern in the village!"

"Oh, I've hidden it deep enough." Yuan Cemo said with a smile, turned around, and she returned to her original shape, smiled at Yuan Shuyi, and asked, "How about it, are the preserved fruit zongzi delicious?"
