Chapter 11: Misdirection
Mentor Yuefen removed all the "illusionary imagery" here, and it turned out that this place was just an empty cave, only a secret room inside, the place where Mentor Yuefen and I first met, and it was real.
I guess it's so mysterious, and it's so mysterious, and it's incredibly unlikely, and now there's not only blood, but also brawl marks, and Arlinn and Bai Jun are both missing at the same time, so I guess that one of them may be an enemy who leads the enemy into the cave and forcibly controls the other.
And judging from the feeling of broken things and blood stains, the rebel should be Bai Jun, because only the rebel will expose his attack method without scruples, and there are many sword marks around, which is enough to prove that my guess is correct. So Arlinn is still the same traitor, framing his companion again.
After I shared my thoughts with the two of them, Jingwen disagreed: "There are still people in the world who can break my aunt's 'illusion', and there are also burn marks in the corners, which shows that Arlinn and you said that you don't care about exposure, which shows that Arlinn is not necessarily a traitor." One more thing, if it's Arlinn, what's the use of him catching Brother Bai Jun?"
This can stop me, I really haven't thought about this question, Bai Jun is just a mercenary, there are thousands of mercenaries in the world, why should I arrest him?
"It's not to catch, it's to stop..."Mentor Yuefen said lightly.
Jingwen and I were stunned at the same time!
"There are indeed many people in the world who can solve my 'illusion', but few of them have had a holiday with me, the only thing that has a connection is the 'Yan Yao Xing' Philo, in the early years, we were opposed, he used fire magic to tear apart my 'illusion', but I can smell the smell of his magic, so there are no outsiders at all, just two little guys fighting, and I think since they have no reason to catch each other, then there is only one reason, which is to stop each other. Mentor Yuefen told her guess.
What Mentor Yuefen said was very reasonable, and we couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"So, Bai Jun must have known about Arlinn's strange behavior and stopped her, so the two of them fight, and in the end, Arlinn wins, but Bai Jun already knows about her, so she can only take Bai Jun away first, right?" I said.
"Then why isn't Bai Jun acting strangely?" Jingwen's tone was a little unceremonious.
"Because—" I can't explain it at this point, but Arlinn's ability level is higher than that of Bai Jun.
"Okay, now isn't the time to fight, but there is someone who might just crack my illusion and kidnap them, but I don't dare to think it's her, I can ask, maybe there is a clue, tomorrow you two will go down the mountain to find out, Arlinn knows a lot of secrets here, no matter what, try to find them first. Tutor Yuefen said solemnly.
It was the first time I had seen Jingwen express her displeasure with me, and it made me feel at a loss.
The next day, we went our separate ways, and Lynn wanted to go with her aunt, but then she reluctantly joined me when she realized what I would do to Arlinn.
It's really aggrieved, I'm just telling the truth, how come it is in her eyes that I deliberately framed Arlinn? Is she expressing her dissatisfaction with me in this way? It seems that she has always held a grudge against what happened before....
I also knew that what I had done was wrong, so along the way, I also tried my best to take the initiative to find a topic, trying to resolve the contradictions between each other, but Jingwen was able to fully achieve the three nos!
"If you think I'm in the way, you can go yourself. I stopped, wondering if she could still "hear".
Jingwen was stunned for a moment, and then continued to walk forward without looking back.
"It seems that I can hear it, I haven't been back for a long time, mom should be in a hurry, I'm redundant here anyway, I wish you a smooth journey." I said helplessly, in fact, I didn't think about going home, after all, she is a girl, and she can't use magic now, how can I leave her and go by myself?
"You go, thank you for this time. Jingwen suddenly stopped, said in a soft tone, and walked straight away after speaking, and soon disappeared into a corner of the forest.
I could only stand here in a daze, and couldn't help but snort coldly, and then shouted: "This is what you said, you drove me away, don't blame me." ”
After saying that, I shook my hand and left in style.
In other words, I have always been the best at this kind of thing, anyway, at the moment all this girl chooses by herself, I can't blame me, I should really go back to see my mother, after all, there has been no news for so many days, and parents will definitely miss it.
However, it was a long time before I regretted the impulse today, when the girl did not go far, but watched me silently behind me...
I walked all the way, wanting to replace the faint sense of uneasiness in my heart with the belief of going home, but it was okay when I first left, but the more I came, the more I felt very restless, until there was a voice inside, silently accusing myself, I felt that I could not take a step in this direction anymore.
"You always use other ways to avoid your true thoughts. What Jingwen said at that time suddenly swirled in my head!
Jingwen was defenseless at this time, and she had no strength to protect herself, even if she walked down the mountain road without encountering any bad people or anything, it was very dangerous to encounter the beasts of the forest! How could I just leave desperately?
Thinking of this, I can no longer make reasonable arrangements for my current behavior, I hurriedly rushed to the road I came, running all the way, just hoping to see Jingwen's figure, hoping that she could wait for me in the same place!
However, when I rushed there, there was no one in sight, and I looked around anxiously!
I began to regret everything I had done, I said bad things about other people's friends, she was naturally angry, why did I, a big man, gamble my temper with her!
But now it's useless to think about anything, the surroundings are empty, there are still trees behind the trees, there are still mountains behind the mountains, and I even feel like Jingwen has disappeared into my world.
"Jingwen!" I shouted!
However, I can only hear my own echoes in this great forest...
The so-called house leak happened to rain overnight, and instead of finding Jingwen in my voice, it was inspiring some people who had been looking for me to come.
The woods suddenly began to sparse, I began to think it was Jingwen, but the sound was obviously a lot of people walking, my cowardly heart was once again frightened, I was about to hide and take refuge, suddenly thought of Jingwen because of my hesitation, and was fatally hit, so I forced myself to stand up again.
"Jingwen, is that you?" I asked cautiously.
But it was fine that I didn't speak, and as soon as I spoke, I opened the navigation for those who were looking for me, and they followed my voice and immediately found me in the dense forest.
I should have guessed that it couldn't be Jingwen, but it was an old man in a strange costume like a withered tree, and he was draped in a simple robe, which was composed of three colors, and he looked quite good-faced, with an amiable smile, and if it weren't for so many people, I would have thought he was an old farmer in the mountains.
But next to him was the Fanchi man in the red robe, and on the other side was the eyepatch uncle, and to the right of the eyepatch uncle was the person I had already guessed, Arlinn.
But behind Arlinn, I was amazed by the fact that there was Mentor Yuefen standing behind her!
Judging from the costume and the surrounding lineup, the person in the middle must be the "withered old witch", but all the comers also let me unravel all the confusion in my heart, if it was arranged by Mentor Yuefen from the beginning, then it can explain why someone arranged the qigong monster to wait for us at the port dock early.
This is why Arlinn had to do something to Bai Jun, because it was all planned, and my trip was already under their arrangement, so when I returned to the cave, Mentor Yuefen asked me to stay one more night, and she had plenty of time to call someone, but there were also things that were not planned, that is, she didn't want her niece to know.
So Jing Wen's departure may also be what she wants to arrange, I guess what Mentor Yuefen and Jing Wen said last night, maybe they already knew that we had a disagreement, and now as she wished, it was a perfect completion of the arrangement, isolating and controlling me.
"If you want to do it, why do you want to take me to open the 'Xuanmen' and know how to use the [Yi Beast]?" I was very puzzled by this, so I asked Mentor Yuefen helplessly.
"[Yi Beast] doesn't mean that there is, it needs to be approved by the main soul of 'Demon Refining', but when you are alive and dead, Demon Refining allows you, and you have the ability to dominate, which is why the mentor wants to take you there. Arlinn shamelessly explains, still at length.
"So I just got the approval of 'Demon Alchemy', and you want to finish it at the docks the next day, right?" I asked with a sneer.
"Yes, it's a pity that outsiders are unreliable, so they have to come by themselves. Uncle Blindfold suddenly came out of nowhere.
"What are you doing there, aren't you afraid your niece will know?" I asked mockingly at Mentor Yuefen.
"Isn't she hurt too? Can she blame the mentor for being captured?" Arlinn smiles.
"It's seamless!, you shameless things!" I scolded.
The kind thin old man suddenly whispered a few words in the ear of the Fanchi people, and the Fanchi people were suddenly excited!
There was a bang! The surrounding area was like a landslide cracking, and a huge gray mist-like scorpion quickly burst out, and a fierce tail spur rushed towards me!
I couldn't dodge, but after all, I had seen so many "marginal" powers, and now I didn't feel any surprise when I saw this gray scorpion again, I quickly recited the secret word, and suddenly the "demon refining" grabbed the tail of the "scorpion", and under the influence of the anger in my will, it picked up the "scorpion" and shook it back and forth on the ground several times!
Straight to the red man's shock to dissipate the fog, spit blood in the mouth!
But at this moment, suddenly my whole body did not move, and a mysterious force tightened the muscles of my whole body! Then I saw the "demon refining" made of purple qi behind me, and my whole body was covered with black nets.
And the next moment, I only felt my mind extremely heavy, and soon my consciousness was blurred....
