Merchant of the Underworld

boom! The two swords struck the stone wall, sending rubble flying.

I also lost my balance and fell to the ground.

Only then did I realize that the monster had stopped motionless in front of me.

It still has its big mouth, still stretches its two paws forward, and remains motionless as it was at the last moment!

I got up from the ground and walked closer to look at it in surprise.

The monster's wide-open mouth was drooling continuously, and a piece of dust and gravel fell on its head, which was even blurred into its eyes, but it remained motionless.

It's like a lifelike, full-scale dinosaur specimen.

wrong! Something seems wrong.

I circled around the giant Tyrannosaurus rex several times, carefully recalling all the scenes I had experienced since the rock wall shook until just now.

I knew something was wrong, but I just couldn't remember what the problem was.

I turned around, and suddenly my eyes lit up! Staring at the stone wall opposite.

There is a pale white bone pattern in the sedimentary layer on the stone wall.

I have just seen this thing. This is the fossil that is suspected to be an ancient creature. No matter the shape or the angle at which it is exposed, it is exactly the same as what I just saw!

Even the white marks I made on it were exactly the same.

ah! I see.

Suddenly, I suddenly woke up.

I've fallen into a trap!

This is an illusion, the three separation illusions that are extremely difficult to detect: separation from the soul, separation from the heart, and separation from the dream!

The magic of this illusion is that not all the scenes you are trapped in are created by the caster, but most of them are the real environment you are in at the moment, plus your real thoughts at the moment.

Just like a psychiatrist, he only gives you tips and guidance. Most of the illusions are actually imagined by you.

I just saw sedimentary rocks and paleontological fossils, and the first scene that came to my mind was the dinosaurs of the Jurassic period.

It was at that moment that I unknowingly fell into a three-dimensional fantasy, and then directed and acted in a drama about encountering a prehistoric Tyrannosaurus rex!

But, where am I now?

What is this dinosaur?

The scary thing about Sanlihuan is that as long as you can’t get out of the illusion, you will never wake up!

You can speak, you can move, you are aware of sleepiness, hunger, and thirst, and you can even recognize some real people and objects. However, the scenes in this fantasy world cannot be erased and linger around you.

To use a more vivid metaphor, it is like a hallucination or schizophrenia.

Only when you find the source can you come out on your own. No one else can help you!

Even if you use the Illusion Breaking Spell, it will be useless, because using the Illusion Breaking Spell is also part of your illusion.

When I thought of this, I immediately calmed down. Sitting cross-legged, he closed his eyes and read the Tao Te Ching.

Calm down, calm down, calm down!

I tried my best to restrain myself from thinking about the scene at this moment. The dinosaurs and the chase were all fake, all illusory, and did not exist at all!

However, I have used more than a dozen methods to break the illusion, but to no avail. As soon as I close my eyes, I can immediately think of myself sitting in a long, narrow, dark cave, with a giant Tyrannosaurus rex standing next to me.

The person who cast this spell was extremely clever, and almost all possibilities were included in it!

I was like a drama actor trying to escape from the scene, but I met an extremely powerful screenwriter. No matter how detached I was, I always wandered around in his pre-arranged script, just changing one scene.

wrong!

If this is really the case, it will not be an ordinary Sanlihuan.

This guy is like a roundworm in my stomach and knows almost everything.

But combine the heart, dream, and soul into one!

What I think is an illusion.

What my soul holds is an illusion.

What I see in my dreams is an illusion.

Isn't this the three illusory voids mentioned in the Buddhist scripture "The Great Dream Sutra"?

Oh My God! This is a combination of Buddhist scriptures, Japanese magic, and hypnosis.

At this moment, I will fall into it if I have even the slightest thought. So how can I get out of this circle? Do I have to be obsessed with it all the time?

This has gone far beyond the scope of illusion, but is an extremely profound soul-sealing technique.

Use yourself as a shell and seal your own soul!

It seems that the person who uses such secret techniques must be very clever and somewhat terrifying.

The only known master in this ancient tomb who is good at this kind of yin method is Ito Shohei.

What does that old guy want to do? How can I break through the confinement of these layers of illusion?

Got it!

Suddenly I had a flash of inspiration and took out the Nine Lives Pagoda from my arms.

Japan's Onmyojitsu comes from the Nine Nether Sect, and that's just a part of Zetsu's past.

Jue is just Yuuko's young disciple. When he was chased by his fellow disciples and fled to Japan, he went alone without any magical weapons.

As a disciple of Youzi, he was naturally familiar with the "Yin Fu Jing", and he must have seen the Ebony Core and the Nine Life Tower, but the latter two were not available to people other than the master.

Especially this Nine Life Tower!

The ebony core has been passed down in the world for thousands of years, until Senior Gray Pigeon passed it on to me, and it has been used for enlightenment for generations.

But the Nine Life Tower has been sealed for a thousand years since the death of the second generation Youzi, and I didn’t get it until I was in the secret room of the Wusuli River.

Although I have studied this treasure for a long time, I have never been able to figure out its true use.

However, I discovered that this thing has a very magical effect.

As long as you hold it in your hand and look at it carefully, a piece of white bones will appear in your mind.

No top, no bottom, no bounds!

You will forget everything in an instant. Even after you wake up for a long time, hallucinations will appear around you and you will not be able to turn around for a long time.

I was so afraid of going overboard that I didn't dare to try again.

Now that I think about it, it’s better to fight fire with fire!

No matter how brilliant your illusion is, it is still not as good as Jiuyou's sect's treasure.

Moreover, the reason why I am more confident about it is that just when I was approaching Jue's corpse chamber, the illusion of the Nine Life Tower actually appeared, and it was something that had never been seen before.

The Ten Thousand Life Sacrifice activates the changes in the ebony core. What kind of miraculous effects will the Nine Life Tower produce?

In the previous illusion, I climbed up the mountain of bones, and I pushed open the door, but what was inside that door?

Each floor of the nine-story pagoda is different. What kind of secrets does this treasure among the treasures of the Nine Nether Gate hide?
