Cheng Tianle also replied in his soul: "I have been in the scroll for a long time, and of course my hair is long. There is naturally a reason to ask you to come today, so let's go forward first."

Zi Hao followed Cheng Tianle along Pingjiang Road, while looking at Cheng Tianle curiously and said, "The world of painting is really magical. If I didn't know, I really can't believe that just ten days have passed, and you have become like this... Well, you look very handsome and stylish. Walking here is like a big leader coming to inspect, almost more handsome than me!"

In just ten days, Cheng Tianle's appearance has not changed, or it is difficult to tell what changes have happened. His eyes are clearer and more calm, as if he can see the glitzy people deeper; his face also has an iconic smile, but it has a vague luster of jade, and his facial features have not changed, but his temperament is completely different. Walking among the crowds, Cheng Tianle is no longer the way he can't find it when he fell into the crowd. No wonder Zi Hao sighed.

Cheng Tianle interrupted him and said, "Do you still remember three years ago? At that time, you were sealed in my soul and had not yet appeared. Hua Feifei invited her. I accompanied Wu Yanqing to have dinner here, and I walked through this alley."

While speaking, they had already arrived at the "In front of the Wei Dao Temple" and turned right into the ancient alley. Zi Hao replied, "Remember, I was very impressed. That day was really eye-opening!... But later you drank too much and even I was confused with each other. At that time, we all had a shallow cultivation."

Cheng Tianle: "Then do you remember what we said when we stepped into the entrance of this alley just now?"

Zi Hao: "Let me think about it. Yes, I felt that there was a magic fluctuation here at that time!" He had a really good memory, recounting the conversation between the two of them in their souls when they first walked here three years ago.

...

On that day three years ago, I just turned into the alley and heard the voice of "rat" quietly saying in my mind: "It's not right, there is a change in magic power here!"

Cheng Tianle: "What kind of magic power changes?"

"Mouse": "This is indefinite. It may be because the place is special, there may be some formation, or there may be an expert casting spells. Is there anything strange in the outside world? Do you still remember what happened to you in Xuanmiao Temple last time? I almost fainted after you."

Cheng Tianle: "You know more than me, so what should I do?"

"Rat": "Isn't it okay to have so many people coming and going on the street? Don't check it. Be careful to calm your spirits. As long as you don't touch anything, it will be okay. Even if there are really experts who cast spells, as long as you don't get knocked out, people won't care about you."

Cheng Tianle: "If there is really a master casting spells, I'm very interested, I want to see it."

"Rat": "What's there to be curious about? When you become a master in the future, you will have nothing to do. Have you forgotten what I said? If you haven't achieved cultivation now, you must first learn to hide your traces in the crowd and not let others discover your secrets. Since something is wrong here, I have to be careful and can't talk to you anymore."

...

Thinking that Cheng Tianle and Zi Hao had not yet achieved cultivation, they only felt that there had been subtle changes in magic power here, but they couldn't figure out what was going on, so they carefully restrained their spirits and did not touch them. It was impossible to find out what happened. Now that the old thing is mentioned again, Zi Hao asked in surprise: "Did you find out what happened that day? After three years, there are no traces here. Now my spiritual sense is much stronger than before, but I haven't found anything."

Cheng Tianle replied, "If there is no trace, you will find it. If you go forward, you will be even more surprised." While they were talking, they walked past the gate of the quaint old house. The middle door of the house was closed, but an ear door was opened on the courtyard wall on the right, and a sign for a club was hanging next to it. Cheng Tianle stopped and asked, "Zhi Hao, did you eat that meal here last time?"

Zi Hao shook his head and said, "No! I remember very clearly that there is a club turning a corner in front, and the doors are almost the same, but there is no ear door on the courtyard wall next to it. You were drunk there. I thought it was strange at the time. Why did two such high-end clubs open in an alley, and the doors are exactly the same, so why aren't you afraid that the guests will go wrong?"

Cheng Tianle: "I remember very clearly that when I walked past the gate of this house, I felt like I had passed through some invisible barrier and stepped into another world, but when I looked at both sides, it was still the original alley. When I recalled it now, it seemed a bit familiar, just like the feeling of entering the world of the picture. But the feeling of walking past was very vague, far less true than in the world of the picture, it was like stepping into some strange illusion. The scenes in the illusion overlapped with this alley, and with our cultivation at that time, we could not distinguish them at all."

Zi Hao said in disbelief: "You mean when we walked through this door, what we saw behind us was illusions? How could such a bizarre thing happen?"

Cheng Tianle: "You will know when you keep moving forward. The reality is probably more bizarre than you think!"

After walking along the winding alley for more than a hundred meters, when Cheng Tianle stood still, there was a dilapidated ruins of the Dao Temple with the sign "Suzhou Cultural Relics Protection Unit" embedded on the wall. Zi Hao was fixed there, and his whole body seemed to be petrified, because in his memory, three years ago, this place should be the club where Cheng Tianle accompanied Wu Yanqing to the banquet.

After a long time, Zi Hao let out a long sigh, his expression as if he was awakened from his deep sleep. He turned his head and asked Cheng Tianle: "Have you read "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio"? Do you remember there is a story called "Taoist" in it, which tells almost our experience."

Cheng Tianle shook his head and said, "I have never read some books as carefully as you do. The one who impressed the story of "Laoshan Taoist priest" the most was the "Laoshan Taoist priest" when he was a child. What did the story of that "Taoist priest" tell? "

In the third volume of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", there is a story called "Taoist". Han Sheng, a child from a noble family, was hospitalized, and Xu Sheng, in the same village, often drank at the seat. One day, a Taoist priest knocked on a bowl outside the door, and even gave money and rice, he did not leave. Han Sheng went out to ask when he heard the sound, but the Taoist priest wanted to drink, so he summoned him to drink with him. From then on, the Taoist priest came uninvited whenever Han Sheng held a banquet at home. The Taoist priest claimed to live in a dilapidated and abandoned Taoist temple on the east side of the village, but no one had seen him before.

The Taoist priests came so many times, so Xu Sheng couldn't stand it anymore. One day, when drinking, he took the opportunity to laugh and said, "The Taoist priest has been a guest so many times, can't he invite a guest once?" The Taoist priest replied, "I have wanted to treat you a long time ago. Tomorrow, at noon, Han Sheng and you two come to my Taoist temple and set up a banquet for everyone to stop when they are drunk."

The next day, Xu Sheng and Han Sheng went together, but found that the originally dilapidated and abandoned Taoist temple had been resting, with pavilions and towers connected in a large area, and the palaces and palaces were magnificent. The Taoist priest stood in front of the door to welcome guests, and the servants were lined up next to him. The two of them asked strangely what was going on. The Taoist priest replied that this was rebuilt after he came here, and it had just been completed.
