Chapter 188: Strange People
He Ling Jiang bowed slightly: "The illusion of this thing has been destroyed, but I have drawn all the layout and structure in it."
She motioned for Aman, who was behind her, to come forward and present a scroll of paintings, and when she unfolded it, several sheets of rice paper covered with pictures and handwriting were spread out on the table.
Xuan Heng put down the glass mirror in his hand and looked at the drawing paper: "You are very detailed."
"It's just a hurried drawing, and it's not as good as you." He Ling Jiang said.
She had already walked through the illusion, and when she painted this object later, she focused on outlining the layout and structure of the object, so that she could study the illusion more conveniently, and see if she could find something through this object to the person who set up the array.
It would be even better if you could find someone who is good at this and discuss it with them.
It's a pity that Xuan Heng didn't come out of Taiqingguan a few days ago, and He Lingjiang was busy with the affairs of the Divine Palace, so he didn't find a chance to consult him personally.
She looked at Xuan Heng and asked, "I wonder what you think of this illusion formation?"
Xuan Heng picked up a piece of drawing paper and looked at it carefully: "The character settings in this fantasy world are exquisite and interesting, which shows that the person who set up the formation has put a lot of thought."
"However, using the octagonal glass mirror as the body and mapping the illusion to eight directions, this technique is not uncommon among the Xuanshi."
"If you just want to find the person behind the curtain based on that, I'm afraid it's very difficult."
He Lingjiang couldn't help frowning: "Even you can't find any clues on the side?"
Xuan Heng spread his hands helplessly: "He Qi Niangzi, you don't want to think too much of me. I'm just a little accomplished in Qimen Dunjia. But there are many people in the world, and as you said before, there may not be no one who can be on the right hand of you and me, but there is no way to know."
"Although this glass mirror and illusion are quite clever, they don't have a name written on them, do they? Don't say that just with this glass mirror, you and I can enter it now, I'm afraid it's difficult to get a glimpse of the people who set up the formation......
When he said this, He Lingjiang could naturally understand, but ......
"This octagonal glass mirror can trap Pei Shizi, so it can be seen that the people who set up the formation or the people who perform the spell are not ordinary mysteries. You're quite accomplished in the Qimen category, haven't you ever met such a person?"
Xuan Heng pressed the glass mirror on the drawing paper and said, "Although I am a member of the Xuanmen, I have traveled around by myself for so many years. I don't know as much about this mystic as you do now."
"But since you came to ask me today, I can't let you return in vain, right?"
He raised his hand and motioned to the maidservant to hand over the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone: "If it is said that Yu Qimen Dunjia's attainments can reach this level, I do know one or two."
He pointed at himself and joked, "Isn't me, like me? He Qi Niangzi wants to check, and the first one to check is me......
He Lingjiang couldn't help but chuckle, "If I can't trust you, why should I come to you for advice? Daoist Xuan Heng still likes to make jokes."
Xuan Heng shrugged: "Then I have to thank He Qi Niangzi for trusting him so much."
"However, if you can find out the person behind it in time, it will be a great good thing for the entire Xuanmen and the imperial court."
He put away the joke on his face, picked up his pen and wrote a few lines of small characters with a brush.
Although there are many people in the world who practice Qimen Dunjia, there are only a few people who can achieve extraordinary attainments.
He Lingjiang took the paper handed by Xuan Heng and looked at it carefully, there were only three names on it, and there was an introduction to it.
Of these three people, two of them are capable people in the Xuanmen, and the other person is a strange person from the countryside, and He Lingjiang has not heard of his name before.
Xuan Heng pointed to the names of the people above and said, "These two are from the Xuanmen, I don't need to say more, you can find out." But the next one is a little troublesome......
"He was a strange man in the countryside whom I happened to meet when I traveled many years ago, and he called himself 'Hanxu'. This person is quite accomplished in Qimen, and I have had the privilege of having a discussion with him, but each has his own wins and losses."
He Lingjiang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "I can be on a par with you, thinking about it, this person must not be underestimated."
Although she has never fought with Xuan Heng, she has entered the "Wind and Snow Twilight Return Map" painted by him, and then listened to Yuan Buxi's evaluation of him who has never been easy to praise, she knows that Xuan Heng must be extraordinary in Qimen Dunjia.
Now, when he praised this man in his words, he could also roughly understand this person's methods.
Xuan Heng laughed loudly when he heard this: "I will regard He Qi Niangzi's words as a compliment to me. But you're not wrong."
"I am conceited that I inherited from a famous family, and I have a great talent in Qimen Dunjia, and it is difficult to have an opponent. This man is a rare opponent in my life."
"But he has never lived in a fixed place, and he has only wandered around. My intersection with him ended at that time, and I didn't know much about him. If you want to find such a person in the vast world, I am afraid it is very ......rare."
If you look for this person, you are undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack. But even so, there are always some clues.
He Lingjiang looked at Xuan Heng and asked, "Can I bother you anymore?"
Xuan Heng smiled: "Want a portrait?"
He looked at He Lingjiang playfully: "I'm not a person who paints easily. However, since it was what He Qi Niangzi wanted, I naturally tried my best to do it. I just don't know, how should He Qi Niangzi thank me?"
"Oh?" He Ling Jiang raised his eyebrows lightly, "What kind of thank you gift does Dao Chief Xuanheng want?"
Xuan Heng didn't embarrass her: "I heard that He Qi Niangzi is very good at drawing talismans, and I have been weak and sick since I was a child, so how about you please draw a talisman for me?"
"It's not hard." He Lingjiang knew that he was just joking, and according to his identity, how could he miss the talisman?
"I'll finish painting it another day, and I'll send someone to deliver it."
Xuan Heng smiled with satisfaction, took out a piece of rice paper again, and drew with a pen.
He is indeed very good at painting, and with just a few brushstrokes, a person's description and appearance leap onto the page, vivid and expressive.
With this portrait, the person she found here would not really be like a headless fly.
"Thank you." He Lingjiang took the drawing paper and waited for the ink on it to dry before putting it in his sleeve.
Xuan Heng waved his hand: "We are both from the Xuanmen, and you and I are friends now, so why be so polite. However, my ability is limited, and there is only so much I can help you."
"The Taoist is really humble." He Lingjiang said with a smile.
It was beyond her expectation to have the above gains. This line of work, she is not worth it.
After coming out of the teahouse, He Lingjiang got into the carriage and ordered, "Go back to the Division."
Now that she has some clues, she has to make good arrangements next, and strive to find out the person who dared to cast the epidemic poison inside and outside Yingdu as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if it goes on like this, the shrine behind it may have to do something crazy.
The horse-drawn carriage clattered down the avenue, and when you turned a corner, you will find the bustling East Market, which is lined with vendors and pedestrians.
The coachman tightened the reins, slowing the horse.
At this moment, only the neighing of the horses was heard, and the carriage suddenly came to a complete stop.
