Chapter 17: The Mirror of the Illusion
In the early morning, the sun slowly rises above the sea level, shining a golden glow of the sea. Jian Ning opened his eyes from a night of cultivation and took a long breath, after a night of cultivation, Jian Ning had recovered to his best state.
After finishing the simple grooming, Qin Mo and the others were also ready to go. Jian Ning stepped forward and looked at Qin Mo, who was cold and silent in front of him, he was quietly watching his subordinates busy.
Half an hour later, they came to the place where Jian Ning's ship docked when they arrived on Ten Thousand Snake Island that day, and there was a reef there. When she walked here, Jian Ning remembered that her ship had disappeared for no reason, and her flesh ached.
Qin Mo walked to the reef, stretched out his hand and touched it around, and then pressed it hard somewhere, and then everyone was surprised to find that the sea water in front of them was automatically separated, and what appeared in front of everyone was a bottomless staircase. However, less than five minutes after the stairs appeared, the sea water automatically merged, but the stairs of the sea water could still be seen faintly. No wonder Qin Mo and the others have to prepare those water entry equipment, people with low cultivation enter it, they don't know how deep the bottom of the sea this cave is built, if it is particularly deep, even if there is a cultivator who can use spiritual power to resist the pressure and hold his breath, but it will not work for a long time.
Seeing this situation, Jian Ning couldn't deny that she was a little grateful to Qin Mo. That water bead, as long as a little spiritual power is entered, it can maintain a protective screen, not only to avoid the water, but also to breathe air normally. However, this touch quickly dissipated without a trace, because when Qin Mo was about to go down, he asked her to follow Jian Jian next to him, and openly asked her to increase the input of spiritual power, making the protective screen large enough to cover the three of them. Qin Mo said that this can be added to the contribution, Jian Ning gritted his teeth and endured it, Qin Mo walked towards the stairs under the sea with a good mood, he didn't plan to do so, but when he looked back and saw her standing far away from him, he was uncomfortable, and his heart moved, and the ready-made reasons were just.
Everyone walked down the stairs one by one, and although they were underwater, for some reason, there was no moss or seaweed on the stairs. There are at least a thousand stairs down, but there is still no end in sight, Jian Ning and Simple from the beginning of all kinds of novelty and curiosity, to the current listlessness just want to quickly end this journey of stairs with no end in sight.
"Be careful of your step, this is the formation outside Rong Jinghao's cave mansion, called the meridian array, and there will be an unknown attack at any time." Perhaps seeing Jian Ning's simplicity and their carelessness, Qin Mo reminded beside him.
Jian Ning turned his head and glanced at Qin Mo, and his heart sank, yes, he couldn't relax his vigilance at this time. Being in a bunch of strangers who just met with two simple people is a very dangerous thing in itself, although there is a boss who is a simple father, but he is not allowed to suddenly go crazy and want to go to his mother and son.
After that, Jian Ning remained vigilant at all times, and his mental power was released to monitor within ten meters of his surroundings. It's not that she doesn't want to relax the scope, but in such an environment, maintaining spiritual energy is the best protection measure. In addition, the monitoring of this distance range can effectively protect her and the simple safety, and there is enough time for them to reflect to deal with emergencies. Seeing Jian Ning's movements, Qin Mo's eyes flashed with appreciation.
And in the following trip, they did encounter some sea monster attacks, some of which were even silent, if it weren't for Jian Ning's increased vigilance and always paying attention to the changes in the spiritual power around her, maybe the sea monster would still be unaware when it came to her.
The group stopped and walked for about an hour because they were attacked from time to time, and then they vaguely saw something other than stairs appear in front of them, a particularly tall stone door. Everyone walked in front of the stone gate, and Jian Ning followed Qin Mo to see what was going on with the stone gate, the surface of the stone gate was smooth and flat, and it looked like a mirror.
Jian Ning saw herself in the mirror, and stood there vividly, keeping her usual freshness and ease. Suddenly, the picture turned, and he was lying on the asphalt road on a rainy night in full clothes, a luxury car galloped by, and the pedestrians on the road hurried by, as if no one had noticed the despair, sadness and unwillingness of the girl lying on the ground. As if a century had passed, Janine found herself being lifted into an ambulance, and she watched as she was first aided, pronounced dead, and transported to the hospital morgue. Jane Ning kept shouting, it wasn't true, she was still alive, she wasn't dead, but no one heard her cry, and she didn't even feel it when someone passed through her body. Jian Ning felt a sense of despair that she had never felt before, a feeling that the sky should not be, and the earth was not spiritual, she suddenly felt so confused, since that self was dead, who was she now?
"Jain, wake up!" Suddenly, there was a spirit, Jian Ning heard someone calling him, woke up, and looked in the mirror again, he was still the beautiful and sassy self, but his face was white and scary.
"Close your eyes and turn around!" Qin Mo shouted, Jian Ning turned his head to look at him, and completely woke up. Looking down at the simplicity that was looking at him worriedly, Jian Ning smiled soothingly, touched his head and said, "It's okay, don't worry." ”
He nodded briefly, and the worry in his eyes went away, but he still held his mother's hand tightly, and the sadness and despair that emanated from his mother just now made him so scared, as if his mother was leaving.
Jian Ning glanced at Qin Mo gratefully, if he hadn't woken himself up just now, he would most likely be inside. Since her rebirth, so many years have passed, and happiness has come so quickly, Jian Ning is more and more afraid that she will wake up one day and go back to the past, as if what happened in this qiē is just a dream. After this incident today, Jian Ning realized for the first time that his inner demon had been born, and he must solve it quickly. The helplessness and despair in the past, Jane Ning didn't want to experience it again, and only by making himself stronger and stronger could he protect himself and the people he loved.
Qin Mo glanced at Jian Ning, didn't say anything, and continued to study how to open this door. Jian Ning's state just now, the sadness that emanated from the whole person, Qin Mo didn't want to admit that he was affected, and the distress and unbearable that flashed in his heart couldn't deceive him.
Jian Ning looked back, it turned out that everyone had been led into the dream by this door just now, if it weren't for Qin Mo's loud shout, I don't know what the consequences would be. Now that everyone has woken up from the dream, Jian Ning now knows that this door will lead people to see the things they fear the most in their hearts, and if they can't wake up from it, they may be trapped in it forever and slowly lose their minds.
Jian Ning remembered what her grandmother had said that Rong Jinghao had a phantom mirror, which could conjure up the demons of people's psychology and lead people into the country to confuse their minds. Unexpectedly, before he entered his cave, he was almost hit, and Jian Ning raised his hand to wipe the sweat stains on his forehead.
Jian Ning kept his mind and looked at the stone door again, it looked like it was really a stone door on the outside, but when he looked closely, he could easily be tricked into the illusion mirror. But it's very strange, it's simple and it's reasonable, and others don't have much to think about, so it's not easy to be introduced. But Qin Mo didn't get hit either, so it was very curious, didn't he have something to fear in his heart? Forget it, whatever, let's find a way to open this door quickly.
