Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Aura of Meaning
If she could, Chi Shui really wanted to take out the landscape painting that Lingxi gave her immediately, and carefully compare it with the mountain scenery in front of her, and its overlap was definitely very high.
Of course, this is definitely not the hometown that Lingxi remembers.
Because it was destroyed a long time ago, and later there were powerful people who collected space debris, which pieced together the current Tengyao battlefield.
And this world, its existence is not inferior to the Continent of Tribulation.
Could it be that everything is a coincidence?
Chi Shui shook her head, where are there so many coincidences in the world, most of them are the inevitable result of a cause, she can't see clearly, it can only prove that her vision is not broad enough, she doesn't know enough?
She pressed down on her slightly undulating state of mind and withdrew her eyes, only to notice that the expressions of the two people around her were different.
Ah Heng's expression was relaxed, and he felt a sense of joy that he had finally returned home.
And the ghost looked the same, but his gaze softened a little as he looked around.
Chishui can't help but look at it, the lively and bustling market in the distance, the shops are lined up, the crowds are crowded, or the adults and children gather together to chat, or adults and children go shopping and parade around the market together, laughing and laughing, like a festival, the atmosphere is strong.
Chishui was stunned.
How can it be?
In her imagination, the Yunling Clan could even kill their own compatriots, and it must be a race that was forced to go crazy by reality.
However, what she saw in front of her was the most peaceful settlement she had seen after so many years of travel.
Even compared to the Qiming ethnic settlement, it is even better.
You must know that the elders of his clan are very good at affairs, and they take care of the entire settlement in an orderly manner, with one heart and one mind, and the cohesion is extremely high.
However, this is not pretending in front of her, she can tell that the smiles on these people's faces are real, whether adults or children, their eyes have a different kind of look, full of vitality, not at all like a banned and declining race.
"Accident?" Jing suddenly asked.
Of course, this can only be heard by Chi Shui.
Chi Shui, who was in the phantom prison, let out a "hmm" and did not deny it.
She admitted that she had taken it for granted before, just like the patriarch of the Qiming clan, she was used to using experience to speculate on the unknown, which was not bad, but that the world had different forms, and her thinking and vision were limited after all.
For example, in front of the eyes.
When Jing saw that she admitted it, she laughed, but did not speak again.
Chi Shui was curious and had to endure it, there was more important things to do in front of him, that is, to report on his work.
This is a big problem.
Of course, Chishui was blind, but fortunately, Jing told her that the three of them were not together, and what she needed to face was Jing's master, Kagamihime.
She naturally didn't think that she was capable enough to deceive in front of the great cultivators.
After separating from Ah Heng and Yi Ghost, she ran straight to the peak where Jing Ji was.
In the phantom prison, Jing sat up straight, he seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time.
"Are you afraid?" He asked Akamizumichi.
Chi Shui didn't answer, because she couldn't tell what mood she was in now, no matter who it looked like, it was a self-defeating move, and it was a mercy to say that she was stupid.
But she clearly didn't feel much of a crisis.
It's like going to a stranger's house once, a little nervous, a little curious, and a little ...... Expect?
She almost forgot that she was a person who would take risks easily?
Is it because the sense of security given by her predecessors is so much that she seems to have forgotten a little?
In her mind, she suddenly recalled the determined look of her predecessors, saying that they would definitely come together......
Is this true?
It's not that she doesn't believe her seniors, but she has questions about the matter itself, and she can't get answers, because she can't imagine what it will be like for her and her seniors to come together?
All in all, first impressions kill people.
The inherent image of her predecessors in her heart is not so easy to change.
Although he may also know this, so he chose to break it directly, as if he had changed a person, which made her feel difficult to face to this day?
It's just in front of him, but it's not suitable to think about it, and Chishui's footsteps didn't hesitate for a moment.
Jing showed a slight look of disappointment, Chi Shui guessed that he might think there was no good show to watch?
Not long after, the red water fell in front of a palace gate, this luxurious palace towered above the clouds, and the mountain peaks were strange and lonely, the clouds and mist were shrouded, and the contradictions vaguely revealed a trace of harmony, and there was a kind of abrupt collision of abrupt beauty.
The palace door opened silently.
Chishui stepped in, and the wide and neat square was empty.
She walked along the central axis on the avenue, and suddenly at the end, another palace gate opened, as if to show her the way?
Compared with the bright and well-lit square, the palace room is as dark as night, and only a muddy yellow oil lamp is left on the palace wall on both sides.
The light and shadow are flickering, but they are as quiet as ever, giving people an inexplicable sense of horror and fear, as if, something lurks in the dark, peeping at her?
Chishui walked in steps.
"Aren't you afraid?" Jing asked again.
"I'm afraid!" Chishui naturally knows that this is not simple, it is obviously an ordinary environment, but because it is from light to darkness, it will naturally hook instincts, coupled with the seemingly inadvertent rendering of the owner here......
The results are surprisingly good.
In addition, Chishui's perception is stronger than that of ordinary people, and her feelings are even stronger, but fortunately, she is not an ordinary person, and she is also calm and does not show a trace of discoloration.
One step into the mud is like stepping into the mud, as if you are heavily restrained, and the feeling of weightlessness follows.
Chi Shui paused slightly before she got used to it, but in fact, there was nothing around, as if everything before was her illusion?
Sure enough, they are puppet everyone.
Chi Shui had a little bit of Soul Deterrence Dafa before, but she still accidentally landed on the Dao, only she knew that at that moment just now, her natural supernatural power was activated, and she broke free from this trap, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Jing was disappointed again, but Chishui had already ignored him.
She followed the faint light of the oil lamp, and continued on, as if through one darkness after another, and finally came to an end.
"You're here......" A faint sigh followed, breaking the silence of the room.
Chi Shui raised his eyes and saw a tall, slender woman sitting in front of a huge richly decorated prism, with her back to the flower on Chi Shui's head.
The line of sight refracted through the mirror also seems to have some kind of weirdness?
Presumably this is Kagamihime.
"Hmm." Chishui is still in Jing's style, but she is not surprised that what the other party said was "you are here", not "you are back"?
Maybe there is some kind of messaging between the puppet and its master, and it is not known?
"I admire your courage." Jing Ji didn't look back, but her eyes were slightly raised, and the refracted gaze was full of scrutiny.
Chi Shui said slowly, "Didn't you guide me here?" ”
If it weren't for Youjing's cooperation, how could she have successfully reached this place?
"If you want to say that, it seems like you can do it too." But soon Kaghime changed her words, "But don't forget, if it wasn't for your intentions, how could I have lured you here?" ”
"That's right." Chishui also admits this, "because I want to be in control of my own destiny, not someone else." ”
I saw Jing Ji's hand in tidying up Hua Tian pause slightly, turned her head sideways, but said something that had nothing to do with the current conversation, "You look like a scene, and I'm really a little unaccustomed to saying such things." ”
Chishui: "......"
The momentum that finally condensed was blocked halfway, and it was a little bit of a sense of weakness that couldn't go up or down?
With a wave of her hand, she returned to her original appearance, and without the other party's words, she consciously released the scene.
Being on someone else's territory, and in the name of asking for advice, it is natural to be self-conscious.
As soon as Jing came out, he automatically walked up to Jing Ji, looked at it, picked up two long hairpins from the dressing table, and inserted them in her hair, her demeanor was intimate and her movements were natural, as if they were a pair of real lovers, not Chi Shui's cognition of the separation of nearly twenty years...... Master and servant?
This once again caught Chishui by surprise.
And Jing Ji got up and walked slowly towards Chishui.
When she approached, she carefully looked at Chishui from top to bottom, returned her gaze to the surface of Chishui, stretched out her hand, and the void traced the outline of Chishui's face, as if whispering: "It's really like!" ”
But I don't know who it is.
Chi Shui looked puzzled.
Jing just looked at them and didn't come over.
Jing Ji didn't answer Chishui's questions, and her expression quickly returned to flatness, and she said indifferently: "Since you have arrived here, you must be prepared to dedicate yourself to the Great Dao." ”
Chishui's heart shook.
Dedicated to the Avenue?
"Just like the scene?" There was a hint of curiosity in her voice?
She suddenly seemed to understand a little, why was this place far more lively and prosperous than the Qiming tribe's settlement?
Why are they so happy? Obviously if you don't awaken your family talent, you have to be sacrificed?
Why does Jing Neng calmly accept his identity as a puppet?
Is it all just because of their own extreme pursuit of the avenue?
This is a bit like a pyramid scheme, drawing a big pie and luring countless people to follow suit, but they are more serious, and even need to pay a high price for their lives, as the name is beautiful...... Dedicated to the Avenue?
I'm sorry, but Chishui doesn't agree with this in his heart.
It is undeniable that these people died willingly, even to the point where their sacrifice was meaningful? Die a well-deserved death?
They must have made an indelible contribution to the heritage of their people.
But in reality?
stripped of the wonderful aura of "meaning", what Chishui saw was still a crazy and unwilling to struggle race.
Of course, Chishui did not show it.
Kagami smiled and looked at the scene.
Jing shook his head, he naturally wouldn't say much if he shouldn't have said it.
Kagamihime sighed: "You want to be like Jing, there is still a long way to go." ”
Chi Shui's heart jumped, and he suddenly realized that this Yunling Clan, just like another world, had concepts and rules that were completely different from the outside world.
And she, there is no choice.
