Chapter 146: First encounter with cause and effect, unexpected surprise(4/5)
"OK." Qiao Xin nodded.
Yan Shizun nodded, stood motionless, and stopped talking.
After a while, a halo of light centered on him and spread to the surroundings.
Soon, the entire courtyard was encompassed by this rapidly expanding halo.
Then, this halo disappeared.
At this moment, Qiao Xin saw obvious changes in the courtyard.
Above the courtyard, a shadow appeared that was the same as the courtyard.
Land, rocks, attic, quiet room...
Everything in this courtyard, even a small pebble, has an accurate correspondence in this shadow.
This change, in the eyes of the practitioner, is very similar to the feeling of the practitioner's soul being forcibly extracted from the sea of consciousness.
However, what Yan Shizun extracted was the "soul" of this courtyard.
After this "soul of the courtyard" appeared, there was a pause, and then, it changed rapidly.
Qiao Xin even saw her own figure, but in this shadow, she walked backwards and flew backwards.
Moreover, the speed is so fast that it disappears in a blink of an eye.
Then, there was a relatively long period of silence. There was no one in the courtyard, and nothing seemed to have changed.
When the figure appeared again, Qiao Xin was shocked and devoted all her attention to it, not daring to do anything.
And the regressing light and shadow also slowed down a lot.
Then, she clearly saw a flying sword flying out of a furnace and landing in the hands of a man.
No, she immediately realized that the images were now played backwards.
Therefore, the actual situation is that the man threw a flying sword into a furnace.
The retrograde image here slows down for a moment, then suddenly jumps and changes.
This time, Shadow Garden is no longer played backwards, but played sequentially, but the speed is much faster than normal.
She saw the four people breaking through the formation silently, and a series of changes that followed.
When the video was played and there was only a black steel armor standing alone in the blood and mud in the courtyard, with a long nail scurrying around it, the most profound image in her mind was that of four human bodies lined up.
The scene of entering the attack range of the spike and being strangled into blood and mud.
There is also a scene where all the loot is submerged in the soil.
Witnessing these changes with her own eyes, she felt a mixture of joy and regret in her heart.
Fortunately, this precious call was not wasted by her, and she really saw something extraordinary.
At least, she confirmed that the mission failed, that there was indeed the intervention of a third party, and that some of the speculations within the clan were correct.
Regrettably, from beginning to end, the third-party force never showed up in the courtyard. It just made a clever push at the most critical moment, completely reversing the situation.
She looked at the ambassador next to her, hoping that he could trace it deeper to see if there were any clues.
However, I saw that Yan Shizun's image was much more illusory than when he first appeared.
Yan Shizun did not wait for her to speak, but took the initiative to let the shadow in the courtyard go back to a longer time line.
As a result, both of them saw a very ordinary clump of thin branches of spiritual bamboo, which had undergone two strange changes in a short period of time shortly before the bloody battle.
And it was these two strange changes that attracted the man who was supposed to be in the quiet room and made him disappear and crouch in the courtyard. This is why the four people who quietly broke into the courtyard failed to make a contribution.
s reason.
Because the moment they appeared in the courtyard, they had already fallen into the eyes of the owner here.
It can be said that it was precisely because of the warning of this thin bamboo bush that the mission failed and all four people turned into blood and mud.
Qiao Xin wanted to go deeper, but when she looked at Yan Shizun beside her, his figure was so thin that it seemed like it would break with just a light poke.
The originally powerful and substantive pressure has disappeared without a trace, as if it were a painting painted in the void with faint ink marks.
I don't know if the change in strength has affected his mentality, but Yan Shizun, who was originally aloof and aloof, has become kind and friendly.
He also took the initiative to comfort him: "Don't worry, it's probably not what you expected."
"Ah? How do you know, Sir?" Qiao Xin was confused.
"He doesn't want to be implicated in the other party's behavior." Yan Shizun said calmly.
After a pause, he added: "Moreover, he has no particular ill will towards your people, and he has no good intentions towards the owner of this place."
"???" Qiao Xin.
Is there no harm in lining up people and feeding them into a meat grinder?
Is this the way a strong person thinks?
"If that's the case, then why did he intervene?" Qiao Xin asked.
"It should be your mission that disturbed him."
Yan Shizun suddenly asked: "Where are you in Qingxuan Territory now?"
"Sanchuanyuan." Qiao Xin said.
Yan Shizun nodded, with an inexplicable look in his eyes, and said: "You can send a message to the clan and ask them to hibernate quietly, and don't do anything else."
"Ah?" Qiao Xin was stunned for a moment, and then said hurriedly: "Yes!"
"Although you used yourself as bait this time, as long as you don't cause trouble, there shouldn't be any danger.
However, since you have already appeared here, it is impossible to go back."
Qiao Xin listened carefully, but felt a little confused in her heart.
By saying this to her, is the envoy concerned about her personal safety?
She herself found it ridiculous.
Yan Shizun continued: "So, you can play your role with peace of mind, and then, at the right time, go and do something for me."
Qiao Xin was stunned for a moment, then realized something in her heart, but she immediately respectfully said: "But just listen to the envoy's orders!"
"You go to Cuiyu Lake." Yan Shizun said.
"?" Qiao Xin.
"Keep a low profile and try not to draw attention to yourself." Yan Shizun continued.
"?" Qiao Xin.
"I don't need you to do anything dangerous or outrageous. There are many islands in Jade Lake. You can just run through them all for me.
Please show me the current situation on each island and keep it in mind."
Having said this, he emphasized again: "What I want is all the information, don't just focus on those foundations.
As long as you live on those islands, let alone practicing qi, even a mortal can't let me miss it!"
Finally, he said: "After you have collected this information, you can call me again!"
Qiao Xin finally woke up from her dazed state and wanted to tell him some current news that might be important to Yan Shizun, but what she saw was a picture of Yan Shizun's figure shattering like a bubble.
"Your Majesty!" Qiao Xin suddenly shouted anxiously.
The moment before the soul's shadow shattered, Yan Shizun showed her an extremely friendly smile and nodded gently.
"..."
Qiao Xin looked at the empty courtyard and felt her scalp numb.
She suddenly felt that her body became unusually heavy.
This was heavier than the moment she knew she would use her body as bait.
Doesn't Yan Shizun know the changes in Qingxuan Territory in recent years?
Doesn't he know that the Jade Lake he talked about has now been transformed into a third-level spiritual land by Qingxuan Sect?
When you go there, there is no such thing as "low-key".
Not to mention a monk who is above the foundation level, he is just a Qi-training monk. As long as he goes there, he doesn't know how many pairs of eyes will be watching him, both covertly and covertly.
He also visited all the islands. Didn't he know that the hundreds of large and small islands that once existed in Jade Lake have undergone earth-shaking changes during the third-level spiritual land transformation?
Under such circumstances, how should I complete this inexplicable task?
Do you want her to find out the current situation of Jade Lake Fairy City?
Not to mention that she is just a foundation builder, given the current situation in Emerald Lake Fairy City, she is a pill builder and cannot do such a thing.
Then what should I do?
Put it aside and ignore it?
She felt that even if she borrowed all the courage of the entire Qiao family, she would not have the courage.
To be continued...
