Chapter 29: Looking into the Mirror
"Sir, the Qin army is coming soon. Please let us in."
"Wuwuwu, sir, my mother is seriously ill and can't afford to spend it anymore. Can she be more comfortable?"
"Bastard, we are all people from Xia Guo, why don't we go into the city?"
“…”
Outside the city gate, thousands of refugees were shouting loudly, some begging, some scolding, some crying, and some despair. But no matter what they said, the soldiers guarding the city were always indifferent.
After witnessing this scene, Moqiu closed his eyes and felt unbearable.
He understood that if the city gate was not opened and the Qin army arrived, these people would basically die, but if they were put into the city, no one could guarantee whether there would be Qin monks hidden inside. Compared with the safety of millions of people in Anliang City, thousands of refugees would seem a bit insignificant.
Although it is too cruel to other innocent people, Jia Tengying is unwilling to take risks. After all, once Anliang City is lost, it will be a disaster for the entire Xia Kingdom.
"etc!"
As if remembering something, Moqiu opened his eyes and said excitedly: "I have a way to find out the Qin army monks hidden among them!"
"Are you sure?"
In fact, it is basically impossible for cultivators below the Hedan realm to use Qi-retaining techniques to hide from Jia Tengying, but some special secret techniques can block spiritual power and change their appearance, so that they can temporarily not detect any abnormalities like ordinary people. It is also through this method that Qin army cultivators can sneak into Mo City and accidentally destroy the formation.
"Um."
Moqiu moved the storage ring and took out a rusty bronze mirror.
"What?"
Jia Tengying was confused.
"A mirror of the heart."
Moqiu took a sip of wine and grinned, "It was my income from a ruin thirty years ago. Because I had no attack attributes, I kept throwing it in the storage ring and almost forgot it."
"What's the use of this thing?"
Jia Tengying was puzzled.
"Hehe, just use spiritual power to activate it, you can hear the inner thoughts of any monks below the Hedan realm."
Moqiu's meaningful way.
"real?"
Jia Tengying suddenly opened her eyes wide, revealing her ecstasy.
Those Qin monks who were mixed with refugees may be able to close their spiritual power and change their appearance through secret techniques, but they absolutely cannot disguise their hearts. As long as they hear their true thoughts, they can immediately confirm whether they are enemies or friends.
Jia Tengying was not without feelings. If he could find out the Qin monks and avoid the enemy's internal and external cooperation, he would definitely be willing to open the city gate and put innocent refugees in it. It would be just a few thousand people, and would not have any impact on Anliang City at all.
"Uh... I haven't used it before, let's try it first."
Moqiu Gudong took two sips of wine and tried to hide his embarrassment.
Jia Tengying: "..."
In order to prevent shocking the enemy, Mochu specially set up a sound insulation barrier, then used his spiritual power, injected it into a bronze mirror, and aimed it at the refugees below.
Buzz!
The bronze mirror was seen in the wind, and in a short moment it turned into ten feet in size, reflecting the appearance of all refugees. Then a series of voices rang out in Mothau's mind:
"Damn bastard, he doesn't open the city gate. Now he's dead, woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-wo
"What should I do? Should I go to other places? But where should I go?"
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
"Why don't you open the city gate? Do you want to watch us die at the hands of the Qin army?"
"Damn it, the Lord of Anliang City is indeed more cautious than the Lord of Mo City. It seems that this method will not work. You must find a place to lift the closure immediately and notify General Zhen."
"Oh, it's so disappointing. Anliang City, it's better not to enter!"
“…”
In an instant, thousands of people's inner thoughts emerged in Mochu's mind, and they were confused. If it were ordinary people, they would have collapsed long ago. However, Mochu is a powerful man in the Hedan realm and has extremely strong mental power. Not only is he not affected at all, he can even clearly distinguish who each voice is and accurately find out the existence in the problem.
In a blink of an eye, half a stick of incense passed. After layers of screening and repeated confirmation, Moqiu took a deep breath and put away the bronze mirror with a complicated expression.
I didn't expect this thing to be really useful.
"How about it?"
Jia Tengying asked expectantly.
Moqiu nodded: "There are a total of fifteen Qin monks among these refugees, all of whom are spiritual building."
"so much?"
Jia Tengying was stunned.
The fifteen spiritual-building cultivators are no less than the foundation of a second-rate force.
"But they used secret techniques to close their spiritual power, which was no different from ordinary people. It took some time to unlock the closure to prevent it from affecting other people. Let's do it together and try to solve it within three breaths."
Mochu made a judgment.
"Okay, who are all the guys, tell me."
Jia Tengying couldn't wait to say.
Now they are about to face 120,000 Qin troops. I don’t know how long it can last. It is naturally a good thing to be able to erase the fifteen spiritual-building cultivators in advance.
“…”
...
"Sir, sir, the Qin army is really going to fight. We just want to enter the city and don't want anything."
"My grandfather's friend's son's cousin is the captain of the patrol team in Anliang City, let me in!"
Listening to the crying and complaining coming from his ears, Lu Renjia was particularly calm and even wanted to laugh.
A group of ants would have started a massacre if they hadn't been to sneak into Anliang City.
However, depending on the situation, Anliang City did not plan to open the city gate, so Lu Renjia decided to find a place to lift the closure as soon as possible. This feeling of losing spiritual power made him very uncomfortable.
"Hmm? What?"
Lu Renjia raised his head and saw a beam of light lit up.
"It seems to be coming to me."
puff.
The next second, Lu Renjia was wrapped in a beam of light. Without any spiritual power, he was like the ice and snow that encountered fire in winter, melting on the spot!
At the same time, similar things keep happening among refugees, but no one notices them at all.
As the last hidden Qin army monk disappeared, Moqiu and Jia Tengying breathed a sigh of relief.
If these fifteen spiritual power cultivators did not have closed their spiritual power, Moqiu and Jia Tengying might have to work hard, but after closing their spiritual power, they would have temporarily become ordinary people. Any spell can be wiped silently, which is simply like a backhand.
“Is there any more?”
Jia Tengying asked.
"No more." Moqiu shook his head.
"Sure?"
"Sure."
"Very good, let's go ahead and open the city gates and let the refugees outside come in."
Jia Tengying ordered.
"City Lord..."
The city guard soldiers next to him were stunned and thought they had heard it wrong.
"Open the city gate."
Jia Tengying repeated it.
"yes."
The soldiers guarding the city did not dare to disobey and hurried to convey the message.
"My lord, I want to open the city gate and let you in. Isn't it a pleasure to thank the city lord!"
"Thank you, Lord, for yourselves!"
"Long live the city lord!"
"The City Lord is so nice. He really, I'll cry to death."
“…”
Thousands of refugees rushed into Anliang City cheering and were extremely excited.
But no one noticed that an old man with white hair was pushing a cart and showing a strange smile on his lips.
