Chapter 145: Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains
In the Lingnan region, there are many deep mountains and old forests, most of which are deserted lands.
But the place where you don't step into is not too remote.
The convoy in Chang'an City stopped at the foot of a mountain, only twenty miles away from the location where Dong Zhongshu had pointed to the place where he had not returned.
It was extremely difficult for ordinary people to travel twenty miles through the mountains and forests, especially at night, but it was not a problem for the palace guards.
A group of people are gearing up, ready to undertake the first task of the prince going out of the palace.
Whoever behaves well will inevitably have a good impression in the eyes of the prince.
Luneng, the chief of the palace guard of the East Palace, grabbed his long sword even more.
If he does a good job, he is still the captain of the guard, and if he doesn't do well, he will lose his official position, and losing his head is the biggest problem.
Although the crown prince is smart and has been cultivated by Emperor Jing since he was seven years old, the prince is young after all, and he does not have real cultivation at this time.
In other words, he not only had to deal with the head of a Yin-Yang sect, but also needed to protect the crown prince from inducing any possible risks.
A few wild birds flew through the air, and the sound of croaking undoubtedly added to the ominousness.
Luneng's gaze scanned all directions.
With the light of the torches, he could see clearly within ten feet of his surroundings.
This was also a distance that he could react with, even when dealing with great cultivators.
If he only dealt with the barbarians who stood in his way, Luneng could compress the distance to within one zhang.
This is the confidence of a Divine Realm martial artist.
And Luneng is not relying on him personally.
By Luneng's side, there were also seventeen palace masters guarding the prince.
Once they form a battle formation, it is not unreasonable for them to deal with the strong people of the Solipse Realm.
And further up in strength are the masters of the major holy lands, and it is difficult for that kind of masters to open their faces against them.
Luneng looked around, and only after he was sure that there was no risk did he focus his gaze on the clearing in front of him.
A roll of white cloth surrounded the circle, and a light was lit in the white cloth.
The white cloth shows Dong Zhongshu holding a fan and fanning.
Sima Xiangru on the side did not play the qin, and for Dong Zhongshu, who repeated the spell, as long as he did something once, it was impossible to fail when he repeated it.
"Heaven, earth, people, gods, ghosts, all five roads are open!"
After some waiting, Dong Zhongshu's voice came.
Everyone stared at the white cloth with wide eyes, and their eyes were obviously waiting for the figure that would not return.
But everyone's eyes fell into a daze later, while the crown prince, Wei Qing, and Zhang Qian's eyes widened.
On the curtain on which Dong Zhongshu showed the effect of spellcasting, a teenager and a girl appeared.
It was no different from when Zhou Taiwei cast the spell, and the boy and girl gathered around the table and began to eat a small bird.
This sight made Zhang Qian's scalp tingle.
"That one seems to be fighting back!"
Zhang Qian whispered.
The previous Taiwei Zhou's haunting water curtain was also this bewildering scene, but when Taiwei Zhou broke through the illusion and explored the truth, he immediately encountered an extremely fierce counterattack.
Zhou Taiwei's fine willow wood was burned, and the bamboo slips and magic sword were destroyed in an instant.
The three controlled heavy treasures were directly cut off, and Taiwei Zhou, who had placed a lot of mana, was devoured by the mana.
Now it's Dong Zhongshu's turn.
"Master Dong is dangerous!"
Wei Qing shouted a reminder, and the prince also stood on tiptoe, hoping that he could be taller, so as to see Dong Zhongshu behind the white cloth.
"Mana can be traced back to the source, and it will not return quickly!"
Dong Zhongshu's voice snorted softly, and the image of the boy and girl on the white curtain began to distort, and a flame emerged.
As if there was a peerless beast hidden, Dong Zhongshu could sense the evil hidden behind the flames.
This is completely different from what he had encountered when he cast spells before.
He took a deep breath and finally figured out why Taiwei Zhou had fallen into bad luck.
But if you investigate deeply, there will be no difference between what happened to him and Zhou Taiwei, and even his strength is far weaker than that of Zhou Taiwei, and he will inevitably encounter greater risks under forced investigation.
Dong Zhongshu's scalp was numb.
"Zheng!
Sima Xiangru's voice sounded as a reminder from the qin, and Dong Zhongshu pursed his lips.
The risk of continuing to probe was high, but there was no way back for him to do so.
Because of his extremely smooth exploration in Chang'an City, the prince traveled more than 2,000 miles to Lingnan.
If Dong Zhongshu quit picking at this time, Dong Zhongshu could think of the next bad treatment.
The cost of dismissal is just that, and the crime of playing the prince and other crimes makes it difficult for him to bear.
This is a crime that can be punished with imprisonment or beheading, and can even be executed on the spot.
Although Dong Zhongshu was conceited, he never thought of fighting the eighteen Praetorian Guard masters in the court at close range.
Compared with the consequences, the price of his forcible investigation can be bearable.
He looked at Zhang Xuezhou's eyes lowered, his body shook slightly, and he began to fall into an extremely peculiar rhythm.
Sima Xiangru's artistic conception of mountains and flowing water is extremely far-reaching and melodious.
Dong Zhongshu didn't expect that he didn't use the other party's ability the first time, and when he cast the spell for the second time, he needed to use the special power of this piano technique.
A phantom figure walked out of his body, Dong Zhongshu stared at the dark sky, his body, his mind, and his aura seemed to merge into it at this moment.
It's obviously close, but he's far away.
It's a strange sense of spatial contradiction.
Sima Xiangru, who had seen Dong Zhongshu's ability, couldn't help but be amazed in his heart.
Even if they meet again, he can't stop the envy in his heart.
This is the 'unity of heaven and man' mentioned by Dong Zhongshu, as long as he is in this state, Dong Zhongshu can avoid the long-range attack and killing of most spells, and can also avoid the detection of opponents, etc., and it is even more likely to be extremely hidden.
If they fight from a distance in pairs, the opponent can't beat them, but Dong Zhongshu has the ability to attack and kill.
When the operation was performed again, the abnormality of the exploration obviously made Dong Zhongshu fully prepared for prevention.
"Is Dr. Dong casting a spell?"
It was difficult for the prince to see Dong Zhongshu's condition clearly, so he had to ask Wei Qing beside him.
"Master Dong's mana is out of his mind, and he is pinching the spell at this time, he should ......"
Wei Qing's response was a little uncertain.
He looked at Dong Zhongshu's condensed phantom spell, only to feel that Dong Zhongshu's expression in this state looked extremely strange.
As if seeing something, Dong Zhongshu looked surprised.
His illusory head shook, and at the same time, the flames on the white cloth receded, revealing the boy and the girl again.
But this time, it wasn't just the two of them eating, but other strange things in each other's strange rooms.
"The thing that records the text is as thin as a cicada's wings, and it seems to be the text of our Han Dynasty!"
"That's the words of the murderers?"
"The Heart Mantra?"
"Yin and Yang Great Compassion Nine Heavenly Mantras?"
As they probed, they saw various things piled up in the room.
Some of the clothes and bedding made everyone feel as fine as the palace, but those styles were strange.
There are also various long, square, round, straight, and transparent ......
The variety of items is dazzling.
Everyone's eyes finally focused on a kind of 'paper' as thin as a cicada's wings.
But this is not so much the gaze that everyone is focused on, but rather that this is what Dong Zhongshu focused on when he investigated.
Dong Zhongshu obviously found something of interest.
As their eyes gathered, some people found the various words written on the 'paper'.
"Where the hell is this?"
Not only did many people who were watching from the outside have doubts in their hearts, but Dong Zhongshu also found it difficult to know where he had quietly explored with his ability.
He only felt that the direction he perceived seemed to be separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, making it difficult for him to accurately pull and locate.
"Damn voyeurs!"
An angry murmuring voice came, and Dong Zhongshu's eyes turned red.
In the flames of the sky, a black cobblestone appeared.
Just looking over, Dong Zhongshu couldn't help but feel a tremor in his soul.
This is the feeling of ordinary people encountering tigers.
The gap between him and the other party in terms of realm and strength is too obvious.
If he was hit, Dong Zhongshu had no doubt that his injuries would be more serious than that of Zhou Taiwei, and even his life would be directly killed.
His scalp was numb, and he quickly reached out to pinch it, but the feeling of a thorn in his back followed.
