Chapter 252 I am not late, no!

   "Yes, what a coincidence, you are really lucky." Jiang Li smiled and picked up the tea, and touched A-Tong's wine glass.

  A Tong always felt that there was something in Jiang Li's words, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't think there was any problem, so he smiled politely.

   "Uncle Jiang..."

   "Have a conclusion?"

   "Well, I have some ideas."

  The village celebrated for ten days, and A Tong stayed here for ten days, with a smile on his face, accompanying the old village head.

  Ten days later, A Tong said goodbye to the old village head: "Grandpa, Kyushu is vast, and the place we are in is just a corner. Tong'er wants to go out for a walk."

  The old village head was reluctant to part with him, but he knew that A-Tong had grown up, and the small Hantan Village was a **** to him, so he bid farewell with tears in his eyes.

  After A-Tong left, Li Nianer felt his world spinning, the scenery changed, the pendant on his chest flickered, and he stood at the entrance of the village again.

   "You two, why don't you come in and have a seat?" The old village chief came out of the village to welcome them.

   "Village Chief, don't you know us?"

  The old village chief looked at Li Nian'er and Jiang Li hesitantly: "My father has a bad memory, where did I meet you two?"

   "Nothing." Li Nian'er shook her head and said nothing more.

  Familiar scenes are staged, the old village head tells about the evil dragon, and several young people want to sacrifice their children to the evil dragon.

   Only this time, Li Nianer did not choose to make a move.

  Xu Shi’s behavior of young people aroused public outrage, and was criticized and blocked by many people in the village.

  It’s just a few nine levels of qi training, can thousands of three levels of qi training not beat a few nine levels of qi training?

  Under the concerted efforts of the villagers, the two children were still left behind.

  The evil dragon got angry, rushed out of the cold pool, and came to the entrance of the village. He wanted to eat everyone, but was killed by A Tong who fell from the sky.

  The villagers celebrated with toasts and cups, just like before.

   "Senior Tong, how many times have you staged this illusion?" Li Nian'er couldn't help but said at the banquet.

  Things have developed to this point, how can Li Nianer fail to see the problem.

  This incident has been an illusion from beginning to end, an illusion that keeps repeating itself.

   "Illusion? What illusion?" A-Tong was taken aback, not understanding what Li Nianer was talking about.

   "Senior Tong, repeat the same thing twice, no matter how stupid I am, I can still see that this is an illusion."

   "Fellow Daoist, you've been trapped in your own illusion for five hundred years, and you still don't want to wake up?"

  The illusion was shattered, and the real picture was displayed in front of the two of them.

  The whole village seemed to be ravaged by a hurricane, with houses collapsed and messy.

  After years, the corpses of the villagers are only skeletons. These skeletons have different postures and positions.

  The only thing these skeletons have in common is to flee outside the village, but obviously, they all failed.

  Li Nian'er can imagine how terrified these people were before they died.

  The huge dragon's skeleton was lying in the middle of the village, and the middle-aged boy with a vicissitudes of life hugged the old village head's body and burst into tears.

   "Grandpa is still alive, uncles and aunts are still alive, everyone is still alive!"

   "I'm not late, no!"

  A monk in the integration stage cried like a child in front of the two of them.

  Perhaps in Ah Tong's mind, he is just a child, a child who has lost his only relative and is unwilling to face the truth.

   In fact, it was only shown in front of Li Nian'er alone. Jiang Li discovered the problem when he came here. There are illusions in a radius of more than ten miles, illusions created by monks in the integration period. He had already seen what the real Hantan Village looked like with his spiritual sense.

  Seeing the reality, Li Nianer already had a rough guess.

  What the old village head said before should be correct. The evil dragons make waves and eat countless people. A Tong sneaked away, got a chance in the secret realm, learned the way of illusion, and became a monk in the Nascent Soul stage.

  The villagers couldn't bear the threat of the evil dragon, and tried to resist. The evil dragon was furious, and twisted its huge body, like a hill rolling over, poisonous gas filled the air, and the whole village was reduced to death, with no survivors.

  A Tong came late and failed to save anyone. Maybe he still watched the old village chief get killed by the evil dragon, but he didn't have time to make a move.

  A Tong was furious, and fought with the evil dragon, beheading the evil dragon.

  But A-Tong couldn't accept the reality, so he cast illusions and told himself over and over again.

  I am not late, I am not late, everyone is still alive.

  As Ah childhood repeated the illusion day after day, year after year, the way of illusion improved, the illusion became more and more refined, and his own cultivation was also continuously improved in this process, becoming a monk in the integration period.

  It’s just that the illusion is repeated a thousand times or ten thousand times, and it’s still an illusion.

  A Tong couldn't change the fact that he was the only survivor in Hantan Village.

  Five hundred years have passed, and the old village head may have been reincarnated several times.

  Jiang Li didn't break through A-Tong's illusion in the first place, but was thinking whether to break his illusion or let him live in this illusion and spend his whole life.

  Jiang Li chose the former.

  What Li Nian'er didn't know was that there was more than one person who had strayed into the illusion, but after those people experienced the illusion, their memories would be erased by A-Tong and sent out of the village. As a result, A-Tong's illusion has not been exposed for five hundred years.

   And Li Nian'er has a protective pendant from his mother, which blocks A Tong's tricks and preserves his memory.

  Jiang Li secretly sighed, if according to the timeline of the system, he kills the evil dragon by himself and gets a chance, there will be no A-Tong, and the whole family will be happy.

  The "Book of Hundred Poisons" rewarded by this mission is probably used in conjunction with Jiaolong Poison Pill.

   Quests also reward dragon blood wood. Using dragon's blood wood as firewood, boiling the dragon's blood and soaking it in it can stimulate the body-building effect of the dragon's blood to the greatest extent.

  The third reward is the Hidden Trace Talisman. Jiang Li saw with his spiritual sense that there is a strange thing in the cold pool called the Extreme Cold Frost Mirror, which is why the cold pool exists.

  The extreme cold frost mirror will release chill all the time, carry it with you, and can strengthen your body, but the chill is too obvious, and it is easy to attract others to spy on it, so the invisible talisman that can hide the chill is used.

  The system is very considerate, but unfortunately none of these rewards can be used by Jiang Li.

   Besides, the dragon died for hundreds of years, and the mission is impossible to complete.

  Jiang Li didn't know if the system had taken into account the avoidance of the tragedy in Hantan Village. If so, he would have to re-evaluate the origin and purpose of the system.

   "Fellow Daoist, have you ever thought about what your grandpa, uncle and aunt will look like when they see you decadent?"

  A Tong's body trembled, as if his grandfather was standing in front of him, and he didn't dare to look at him.

  "Everyone has a day to leave, but they all hope that their loved ones will remember themselves and move forward with strength. Time will not stop because of someone's departure, but a person's growth may stagnate because of someone's departure."

   "Do you want to live like this for the rest of your life, living in a past that doesn't exist?"

  A Tong slowly stood up and thanked Jiang Li.

   "Thank you for your enlightenment, fellow daoist, I haven't asked you for his name yet."

   "You should have heard of my name, my name is Jiang Li."

  A-Tong was stunned for a moment, then he hesitated and replied: "I still hope that fellow Taoist Jiangli is sorry, this is the first time I've heard of this name."

  Jiang Li was very calm, without any embarrassment.
