1234 Frightened every step
"It is very difficult for Baoyu to go home without these people, but he must not be allowed to participate in the governance of the country." Xu Shu reminded.
"I know this, but now they don't want fame and fortune, and they don't have this kind of request." Wang Baoyu said.
The two of them were chatting, Xu Shu looked at the sea, and suddenly said in surprise: "How could this happen?" ”
"What's wrong?" Wang Baoyu was startled by Xu Shu's surprise and hurriedly asked.
"Look at the sea." Xu Shu pointed ahead.
"It's normal!" Wang Baoyu said puzzled.
"Baoyu, look at those stars!"
Wang Baoyu rubbed his eyes again, but he still didn't see anything, it was nothing more than a reflection in the sky, "Old Xu, this is a very normal natural phenomenon." Have you heard the story of the monkey fishing for the moon, it is said that a little monkey looked into the well, startled, and shouted, the moon fell into the water, the moon fell into the water......"
"No, these stars are not in the same position as the stars in the sky!" Xu Shu hurriedly interrupted Wang Baoyu's words, if he didn't even understand this bit of common sense, let alone talk about any cultivation.
Wang Baoyu took a closer look, and sure enough, as Xu Shu said, the stars reflected on the sea in front of him were really different from the sky, which was very strange.
Xu Shu looked around, even more surprised, pointed to the sky above and said: "The stars on the sea in the north are the same as the sky in the south. ”
"Or do you observe carefully!" Wang Baoyu hurriedly asked the guards to light torches, took out a compass, and determined the direction of north and south, which made him even more surprised that the most eye-catching Big Dipper in the sky was actually in the south.
"Lao Xu, the stars on the sea are right, but the stars in the sky have changed direction." Wang Baoyu exclaimed.
"The stars in the sky are naturally fixed, maybe you have a mistake with this object?"
"Probably not, the compass is a physical object, and what we see is not necessarily real. Maybe all the images in the sky are fake! ”
"What kind of supernatural powers can create such illusions?" Xu Shu was amazed, closed his eyes slightly for a long time, and exercised his skills to his eyes.
When Xu Shu opened his eyes and tried to look at them, he finally understood, and exclaimed again: "Baoyu, the sky above me has been shrouded in a layer of mist like a heavenly dome, and those stars are all phantoms. ”
"It must have been a mirage, no wonder the fishermen couldn't get close." Wang Baoyu also understood, and nodded.
"Hurry up the soldiers, beat the drums and gongs, or we may be trapped here forever." Xu Shu said.
"If it's an illusion, how can it trap us?" Wang Baoyu asked.
"Dispel illusions, and nature knows."
Wang Baoyu called Ma Yunlu and the others up, and at the same time ordered all the soldiers of the Ocean Fleet to get up, beat drums and gongs, and shouted in unison.
Soon, there was a commotion on the calm sea, with drums and gongs, and the shouts of the soldiers reaching into the sky.
An incredible phenomenon occurred, under the constant noise of these sounds, thousands of rays of light passed through the sky, and then the starry sky disappeared, and the surroundings became brighter, and above the head, there was a clear and clear sky, and white clouds drifted.
Looking at the direction of the sun, it was already noon, it can be seen that Xu Shu's judgment is correct, if he can't dispel this illusion, he will really lose his way at sea and live in the endless night sky.
"The soldiers obeyed the order and continued to advance into the Thousand Illusion Islands." Wang Baoyu didn't want to delay here, so he resolutely ordered.
Everyone rowed together, the Ocean Ship set sail, and went straight to the archipelago in front of it, advancing less than five miles, and suddenly, the quiet sea became noisy, and countless warships appeared in front of them, and the flag fluttering above was actually the Wei army.
"How did Cao Pi find out we were here? And how to get through the vast sea without being discovered? Ma Yunlu instinctively raised the golden gun, his eyes full of unbelievable consternation.
Wang Baoyu was also suddenly shocked in his heart, there were a lot of enemies, and it was difficult to have a chance of winning, but he quickly reacted, this should be an illusion, and quickly took a breath of awakening water, and his mind was clear for a while, but it still had no practical effect, and the Cao soldiers in front were still there.
This illusion is simply too powerful, Wang Baoyu gritted his teeth and ordered: "Don't be afraid, let me continue to move forward." ”
Xu Shu used his extraordinary eyesight, and at this time he also saw the situation clearly, and said with great certainty: "No need to be afraid, there are no soldiers at all!" ”
The soldiers were still frightened, but they still obeyed the order and continued to drive the warship forward, and as the distance with the Wei soldiers got closer and closer, Wang Baoyu even saw Cao Pi's figure.
Cao Pi stood proudly on the bow of the boat, saw Wang Baoyu looking up to the sky and laughing, stretched out his hand and waved back, and the archers were immediately ready and aimed at this side.
"Baoyu, get out of the way!" Ma Yunlu used his body to block Wang Baoyu in a hurry, and his spirit was highly nervous.
Wang Baoyu pulled Ma Yunlu aside, knowing that it was an illusion, but he was still frightened, and comforted: "Yunyun, don't worry about that, it's all fake." ”
"But, but ......"
"Don't worry, those arrows won't come at you." As soon as Wang Baoyu's words fell, the overwhelming arrows flew over and landed in front of the Ocean Ocean, causing countless splashes.
"Baoyu!" Ma Yunlu became nervous again, hugged Wang Baoyu tightly, and was ready to die with her. However, Wang Baoyu had a bottom in his heart, and ordered the Ocean to continue to advance, and as expected, those arrows did not hurt anyone at all, and disappeared one after another.
Just when the warships of the two sides were about to meet, all the warships in front of them suddenly disappeared completely, and it was still a calm and waveless sea.
Only then did everyone believe the words of Wang Baoyu and Xu Shu, gather their minds, and continue to move forward, Wang Baoyu asked Xu Shu puzzled: "Old Xu, if these fantasies are conjured up by a mirage, how do they know Wei Jun and Cao Pi?" ”
"Alas, these mirages must be able to find out what is in our hearts, and use them to transfigurate." Xu Shu said.
Wang Baoyu was speechless, he still didn't know what the mirage looked like and where it was hidden, but it already knew the fear in the hearts of Wang Baoyu and the others.
As soon as Xu Shu's words fell, a huge island suddenly appeared on the sea in front of him, blocking the way.
The island is close in front of you, full of strange flowers and plants, cranes dance, birds spread their wings, countless Qiongtai pavilions loom in the clouds, the figures who shuttle back and forth, the clothes fluttering, all fly in mid-air, obviously they are all immortals who have attained the Tao.
With the first two experiences, Wang Baoyu certainly didn't believe that this was true, because he didn't smell any aroma in it, which did not conform to the laws of nature.
However, Xu Shu, who was concentrating on cultivation, was in a trance, yearning, and one foot had already stepped out of the ship.
