The strange nun's true appearance changed, and in the process, her self-perception seemed to change.

She left the island where she once lived and came to the end of Baiyue Bay and became a white mother-in-law.

Before going back to this step, Meng Zhou didn't realize that something was wrong.

But after tracing back to such changes, Meng Zhou immediately discovered many strange places.

The neighbors of Baiyue Bay almost immediately accepted the existence of Granny Bai.

Although, there are some traces of similarities in the appearance of this white granny and Bai Zhi, who once lived here, it is easy to remind people that they already had a close relationship.

But this acceptance speed is still a little too "silky".

This quiet, moisturizing and silent transformation reminded Meng Zhou of the changes that took place after Yaya and Granny Bai woke up after they found that the notches of the "Hundred Methods of Knotting" were recorded on the raised stone wall.

In addition, there is another change that Meng Zhou is very concerned about.

It's just that before the strange nun became a "white mother-in-law", she knew the same knot as other low-level monks.

I don't know anything about it, I don't know anything.

And after she became the "White Mother-in-law", she naturally mastered some superficial knotting skills, and barely stepped into the threshold of the first-order lower grade knotting master.

You can weave some items that are suitable for the use of monks in the early stage of Qi cultivation and make a living from them.

Some of the skills associated with the knotter seem to have entered her heart when her true body has changed.

"She woke up and sat quietly on the bed for a long time, perhaps, she was digesting the corresponding knowledge, right?"

Meng Zhou guessed in his heart.

Whether it is the line of Yaya or the line of Granny Bai, going back to the end, there are discoveries that surprised Meng Zhou.

But for the answer he really wanted to seek, he couldn't give him a clear answer.

On the contrary, he let him know that tracing along the two lines of Yaya and Granny Bai has come to an end.

Even if you follow these two lines further, you won't gain anything.

"Well, it can't be said that there will be no gains, if you can follow the two lines of Yaya's parents and the strange female cultivator.

Chased back to more than 160 years ago, it should have been chased to Yan Zhuang, the bloodline ancestor. ”

Although she did not dig deep into the past of the strange female cultivator, Meng Zhou could basically determine that she was also a descendant of Yan Zhuang's blood.

Although his doubts were unsolved, Meng Zhou did not intend to continue to dig deep along these two lines.

What's more, his current divine soul quality can't support him to go back in time to such a long past.

Yan Zhuang was able to do this with the cultivation of the sixth layer of the Jiedan, and it was not because of himself, but on the soul power reserves stored in that special divine soul armor for nearly two hundred years.

……

Tracing the two lines of Yaya and Bai Granny, although it failed to solve some of the doubts in Meng Zhou's heart.

But that's not the answer.

After excluding these two lines, Meng Zhou could basically determine where the most important line was.

"Angelica dahurica."

In the final analysis, the problem is back to Angelica.

And it is not difficult to find traces of Angelica dahurica.

After returning to the end of Baiyue Bay, Meng Zhou stared at the area where Bai Po's grocery store was located, and continued to go back in time.

Soon, he caught traces of Angelica dahurica.

And for the first time, he caught traces of Angelica Angelica in this area - in the normal timeline, it was actually the last time Angelica appeared here, which happened to be the day Granny Bai moved here, and the time was staggered by about half a day.

At that time, Granny Bai was not a "Granny Bai", she was still a strange nun and lived well on another small island across most of the Jade Lake.

Then, Meng Zhou traced and restored Bai Zhi's life trajectory in Baiyue Bay completely, and Meng Zhou was shocked and surprised in his heart.

In the end, he gathered all his thoughts, just watched in silence, thought quietly.

……

When Angelica Angelica first appeared at the end of Baiyue Bay, it still looked quite young.

In his early twenties, he was a fourth-level cultivator, with a label of "remnants of the Yan family" on his head, and he carefully and low-key took root at the end of Baiyue Bay.

At this time, she didn't show anything special except for her excellent cultivation talent, as if she had no teacher, a mysterious painter's inheritance, and a peculiar "talent" that could ignore any formation prohibitions.

And she also knows that as a "remnant of the Yan family", these are the root causes of disasters.

Therefore, she never dared to make a living through these means.

And it was impossible for her to delay her cultivation progress because of this.

Therefore, during that time, her biggest problem was the lack of resources and spirit stones.

And whenever the spirit stone is scarce, she will sell some insensitive cultivation methods, spells and other items for cash through some secret channels.

In the end, the "water cultivation recipe" that flowed into the hands of the original owner of this body flowed out of Bai Zhi's hands during that period.

Such a peaceful and fulfilling life is more than ten years in a flash.

Bai Zhi's cultivation has unconsciously reached the ninth level of Qi training, and the painter's profession has also reached the peak of the first order.

And since Bai Zhi's cultivation reached the late stage of Qi cultivation, her behavior gradually became strange.

Baiyue Bay is not the top in the first-order spiritual land, and the best spiritual land is in the head of the bay, which is occupied by a cultivation family, and continues to lie dormant at the end of the bay, which is more and more unfavorable to the growth of Bai Zhi.

As a cultivator, in order to pursue a broader world, it is a natural choice to leave Baiyue Bay, go to a spirit island with a higher spiritual quality, or simply leave Jade Lake.

What's more, even if you don't start from your own cultivation, you know that there is a Mo family in Jade Lake who has ill intentions and has been sparing no effort to track down the "remnants of the Yan family".

Then, leaving Jade Lake and going away from other spiritual veins seems to be an easy way to think of.

But Angelica rarely has such thoughts.

Even when her cultivation reached the late stage of Qi cultivation, it became more and more difficult to stay in Baiyue Bay to cultivate, and the thought of "leaving this place and leaving Jade Lake" occasionally arose in her heart.

But after a night, the thought would disappear again.

The waves that arose in her heart were quietly smoothed out again and again.

And as Bai Zhi's cultivation became higher and higher, the thought of leaving became more and more frequent in his heart.

Although, these thoughts will soon be quietly erased by some invisible force.

But Bai Zhi finally gradually realized that she was inappropriate.

Because she's a painter.

When her thoughts cross a certain boundary, they are corrected again and again by an invisible force, but she is able to convey certain emotions through the form of paintings.

Bai Zhi, who has been corrected back, although she no longer knows that she has had the idea of leaving again and again, but when she looks at these paintings, the emotions contained in those paintings instantly rush into her heart.

Objectively, in the memories that have been corrected and updated again and again, Angelica Angelica can't see her true self.

In the game, she can't see her true face.

But it was with the magic of the profession of a painter and the sensitive and unreasonable intuition of an art professional that she felt the fact that she was in a special state of captivity.

Of course, at that time, she only felt psychologically and emotionally that heaven and earth were a cage and she was a prisoner.

What the real reason was, she didn't know.

Moreover, because of the regular "correction and grooming", this emotion is only intermittent.

Many times, she even attributes this irregular "depressive performance" to her own sensitivity and hypocrisy, and laughs at herself with it.

This intermittent nervousness began to manifest after her cultivation reached the late stage of Qi cultivation.

And as her cultivation and the continuous progress of her profession as a painter, it became more and more frequent.

However, because of the existence of that invisible force, she can always be "corrected" again and again.

Until one day, Angelica Angelica had another "nervous" attack.

At this moment, her symptoms became more and more serious, not only was her heart restless, she couldn't help herself, but her fingers were twisting uncontrollably.

This time, in order to distract herself, she picked up a ball of string beside her.

As his hands touched the string, the ten fingers that were twisting randomly suddenly calmed down a lot.

However, it didn't stop.

Rather, it was tied with one knot after another.

Meng Zhou clearly saw that as the dense knots were born from Bai Zhi's flexible and slender ten fingers, her emotions became more and more peaceful.

It was as if her nervous, restless, uncontrolled emotional changes flowed out of her body, from her heart, down the ten fingers of her hands, and transferred to this knot.

When Bai Zhi's hands and ten fingers calmed down again, her expression became calm again.

His eyes became calm and peaceful.

It is a tranquility and calm that has never appeared in Bai Zhi before.

Then, she strolled out of the room, stepping on the sparkling waters of Jade Lake, and out of White Moon Bay.

At this moment, it is the dark time before dawn.

And just before Bai Zhi was about to leave Baiyue Bay, she did one last thing.

She destroyed all her paintings since she was "neurotic", as well as the knots that made her quickly get out of her neurotic state.

The moment she destroyed these items, Bai Zhi didn't seem to change at all.

But in the eyes of Meng Zhou, a bystander, Bai Zhi, who briefly jumped out of the water and saw himself, fell into the "river" again, and became the Bai Zhi of the "remnants of the Yan family" again.

It's just that this time, it's like she's untied some invisible chain on her body.

No longer trapped in White Moon Bay, no longer trapped in Jade Lake.

She was not hindered in any way and walked away.

Meng Zhou, who traced all the way to this step, did not continue to track the traces of Bai Zhi's rapid disappearance.

Instead, he looked around carefully and confirmed one more thing:

"Yan Zhuang controlled a spirit bird that day and traced the traces of Angelica dalian.

The direction in which it left White Moon Bay, this is it. ”

did not track Bai Zhi's distant figure, but Meng Zhou did not stop going back in time.

He will go back in time and stop at this moment.

His gaze was on the shore of the ash that was rapidly drifting away in the wind.

Among the ashes were paintings that could have made her fall into a "neurotic" situation, as well as a long string of knots made of ordinary ropes.

Now, they have all turned to ashes, blended together, and quickly dissipated between heaven and earth under the blowing of the lake breeze in the middle of the night.

Meng Zhou felt very interesting.

Yan Zhuang found Bai Zhi from the source more than 100 years ago, after he left, and went down from generation to generation.

In the case that his soul power is precious, and he has clearly found Bai Zhi, the "true spirit of ancient paintings", the choice he made is naturally to follow the trajectory of Bai Zhi's departure.

He no longer had any reason to stay in Baiyue Bay, looking back at the situation in Baiyue Bay after Bai Zhi left.

Therefore, he naturally didn't know that during the day after Bai Zhi left Baiyue Bay, "Bai Granny" came to Baiyue Bay and lived in the room where Bai Zhi lived.

Even though Bai Zhi's behavior before leaving was a little strange, from Yan Zhuang's point of view, his attention would basically be focused on those paintings.

After all, it is precisely because of these destroyed paintings that Angelica can become "neurotic" again and again and more frequently.

Every time she was "nervous", it was like a sweet, sleeping person showing signs of imminent awakening.

As for those knots, although they are strange, as Angelica's "neurotic" symptoms get deeper and deeper, she will do some strange actions during each attack in order to calm her mood and distract her attention.

This method of soothing the heart by playing with knots is a bit eye-catching.

But among the many strange behaviors, it is not so eye-catching.

Of course, more importantly, Yan Zhuang did not associate it with the knotter at all.

"Oh, alas."

Meng Zhou looked at the knots that had turned into ashes and scattered, and his heart was full of regret.

He had a feeling that there was a lot of precious information hidden in those knots.

It's a pity that with the naked eye, he can't read what information is recorded in these knots.

Only by getting your hands on it, running your fingers across the knots and feeling their touch and undulations, and every subtle change and fluctuation of spirituality contained in them, can you accurately interpret the message.

However, although he could not clearly interpret the information contained in the knot, Meng Zhou still understood a lot with his mastery of all the information and the attainments of the third-order knot master.

Let's start with time, at the moment when these knots burned to ashes.

Separated by most of the jade lake, on another small island, the strange female cultivator who also has the blood of Yan Zhuang flowing in her body quietly began to change from the bloodline level in her sleep.

She became the "White Mother-in-law", and she gained a rudimentary knotter's skills.

After Bai Zhi left, she took the initiative to come to Baiyue Bay, saying that it was "serving on behalf of others" or "taking the blame for others", and many of the shackles that should have fallen on Bai Zhi were transferred to her.

And it was also at the moment when these knots, along with a large number of paintings, were destroyed by Angelica Angelica.

Meng Zhou looked at the location of the once raised stone wall.

Just after the knot was destroyed, on the stone wall, there were silent notches.

These notches do not look like they are newly carved at all, but reveal a trace of the vicissitudes of time, the erosion of wind, frost, rain and snow for a long time.

"Perhaps, this is also one of the reasons why Granny Bai and Yaya's attitudes towards Bai Zhi are so different."

"On the one hand, in order to be able to get out of the game smoothly, Granny Bai really suffered for Bai Zhi."

"On the other hand, before leaving, before 'falling back into the water', Angelica Angelica left some more hope.

And Yaya was born in response to this hope.

If Yaya grows up smoothly, when her knotting master attainments also reach the peak of the first order, she may be able to be like Bai Zhi, with the ability to temporarily jump out of the 'water' and see herself. ”

If you want to really sort out the inner trajectory, you need to first see one point, that is, whether it is Bai Zhi, Yaya or Bai Po-ma, there are "two".

One is three people with Yan Zhuang's blood flowing in their bodies and in the form of flesh and blood.

They all have a source and parents, and if they follow the line of the three of them, they will inevitably be traced back to Yan Zhuang's head.

In Meng Zhou's time retrospection, all he saw were traces of them.

But in reality, they are all "shells".

"In Yan Village, I used the secret method of blood heir washing the soul and began to give birth to the first Yan bloodline, and all the descendants of the Yan bloodline flowing in their bodies became tool people."

The other "Bai Zhi", "Yaya" and "Bai Po Po" came from the dilapidated ancient paintings brought out by Yan Zhuang from the Sea of Stars, which he thought were "the true spirit of ancient paintings".

"Bai Zhi", "Yaya", and "Bai Po Po" may all be differentiated from this "true spirit of ancient paintings";

It is also possible that Yan Zhuang's self-conceived "true spirit of ancient paintings" is a chaotic collection of "Bai Zhi", "Yaya" and "Bai Po".

Because of the lack of more clues, Meng Zhou could not confirm what kind of situation it was, so he called it "the true spirit of ancient paintings".

Since Yan Zhuang used the secret method of blood heir washing the soul, this "ancient painting true spirit" has been circulating and washing in the blood of the Yan family from generation to generation.

And finally here in Angelica, there is a phased result.

However, in the eyes of Yan Zhuang, who is half-understood, this is the whole result.

As a result, a new doubt arose in Meng Zhou's heart.

"The person who hid behind Yan Zhuang and led all this, how much did he know about this situation?

Or he, like Yan Zhuang, doesn't know much about the real situation of this 'ancient painting true spirit'.

He just didn't want to pay the price himself, and borrowed Yan Zhuang's hands to do all this, so as to pick a ready-made fruit? ”

And all kinds of strange phenomena that happened to Bai Zhi, Yaya, and Bai Granny.

It may be some kind of ability hidden in the secret method of 'Blood Heir Cleansing'.

If all the bloodlines of the Yan clan are regarded as special 'ponds' that trap and wash the 'true spirits of ancient paintings', then Jade Lake is its boundary.

Once the 'Ancient Painting True Spirit' shows that it wants to 'climb out of the fence', the secret method will make a timely counteract and kick it back into the 'pond'. ”

"However, this may also have nothing to do with the Blood Heir's Soul Cleansing Secret Method, but another layer of countermeasures made by the person behind the scenes.

If this is the case, this backhand has already existed when Yan Zhuang got the broken ancient painting. ”

Meng Zhou analyzed in his heart.

Of course, there is also the possibility that the strange behavior that happened to them may not come from the outside world, but from themselves.

Because of the peculiarities of their existence, they are likely to be limited in some way.

For example, 'you can't jump out of the water, you can't see yourself.'"

It's like a person no matter how strong he is, he can't pull his hair and lift himself off the ground. ”

“……”

Although there were still many doubts in his heart, and with the answers to some old doubts, some new doubts emerged in Meng Zhou's heart.

But overall, on this trip to Baiyue Bay, Meng Zhou basically got all the answers he wanted.

After getting these answers, the next thing to do, of course, is to tear them up.

"These things, as long as I know them."

However, before the official action, Meng Zhou dived into the depths of the ground again, and first slept beautifully.

After all his soul and mental strength had recovered, he retreated to the surface again.

Meng Zhou was a little happy in his heart.

"Fortunately, the longest time, more than fifty years ago, has not exceeded the limit of the Time Flowing Water Sword."

The time of White Moon Bay once again goes back to more than 50 years ago.

That day, when he was in his twenties, he already had a four-layer cultivation of Qi cultivation, and Bai Zhi, who was not yet beautiful, and still had a green aura on his face, appeared in Baiyue Bay.

And at that moment, a long sword that seemed to be light and dark, between existence and nothingness, swept over her head.

But it didn't stop.

Keep going back.

All the way back to sixty-four years ago, it was also the limit distance that Meng Zhou could attack with the "Time Flowing Water Sword" now.

The long sword, which could not continue to be traced, hung quietly over this street.

In an instant, a strange power spread.

With it as the center, there seems to be a wave like water ripples.

It also seems to be unyielding, and the light that can pierce everything shoots in all directions.

Covered by this wonderful power like ripples and lights, the bustling streets are like bubbles punctured by a needle, and like a mirage that disappears in the blink of an eye.

All that remains is empty whiteness.

At this moment, if someone came here to retrace this time, they would not see anything.

And this "Time Flowing Water Sword" that was "ferried" by Meng Zhou to sixty-four years ago, after a sword was cut out, it did not stop, but it was like a long sword that was slowly lifted to the top of a waterfall.

After splitting the top layer of flowing water, it does not stop at all, and slashes all the way down.

The traces of time in the past 64 years from top to bottom have been scattered one by one by this rapidly "falling" sword.

As it slashed downward, the strange sword flickered around the area, encompassing all the people, things, and things that crisscrossed the two streets at the end of the bay.

All the things that were touched by this sword light were easily broken one by one.

When this "sword of time and water" was slashed to the end, time also "fell" all the way to the present.

After collecting the sword, Meng Zhou accepted the results.

"Nope."

"Nope."

"Nothing."

Looking back in time again, all the traces of sixty-four years in this area have disappeared cleanly, only a clean expanse of white.

Of course, what Meng Zhou erased was only the old scenes within the two streets.

And the cultivators who live in this area, their activity area is naturally much more than this small street.

But Meng Zhou didn't have the idea of further expanding the scope of his attack.

It was impossible for him to continue to expand the range of his attacks, nor to erase all traces of the past of the cultivators who had lived in this area for sixty-four years.

Can't do it.

And it's not necessary.

Through retrospective confirmation, most of the sensitive content occurred in the "White Mother-in-law Grocery Store".

Now that he's ruined both streets, what else does he want?

However, some necessary "refinement" work still needs to be done.

The first thing Meng Zhou refined was the knotted hundred method notch marks that Bai Zhi left on the raised stone wall before leaving.

Under the precise control of the Perfect Time Flowing Water Sword, Meng Zhou erased those nicks, but did not damage the raised stone wall in the slightest.

At the same time, all traces of Yaya playing here alone will be eliminated.

Then, the traces of Granny Bai bringing back Yaya, as well as the traces of the strange nun turning into Granny Bai, were all erased by Meng Zhou.

"Unless someone can go back in time to the entire Jade Lake, it will be impossible to find these traces."

"However, even if some traces are found all the way down from the bloodline source of Yanzhuang, it is impossible to draw any useful information in the face of an information blank land that has lasted for more than sixty years."

Meng Zhou reviewed it in his heart, although he still inevitably left some "sword creations", he didn't plan to do more.

After doing all this, Meng Zhou quietly left Baiyue Bay.

After leaving Baiyue Bay, Meng Zhou took some effort to erase all the traces of Bai Zhi's departure from Jade Lake and his own entry and exit from Jade Lake.

"So be it."

Meng Zhou stood on the shore of the lake outside the Jade Lake, and he did not continue to track and erase the traces of his own entry and exit from the Jade Lake, or Bai Zhi's departure.

The location is secluded enough, secluded enough.

In the absence of a clear time and place, Meng Zhou really couldn't imagine that anyone could find out this "thread" buried in the long river of time.

If you really have this ability, you really don't need to do more.

……

After doing this, Meng Zhou didn't stop any longer, and left Jade Lake directly.

When leaving, Meng Zhou deliberately passed by Fenglin Island.

Meng Zhou saw the girl who looked like Yaya again, but was a few years older than her.

The family has moved to this island.

At this moment, she is practicing in the Dharma transmission hall of the Baijiang Gang.

Meng Zhou's gaze did not stay on her for long, but looked at another person.

It was a calm and majestic figure in his forties, and at this moment, he was silently watching a group of young juniors.

This person is none other than the current leader of the Baijiang Gang, that is, Xu Lei, the third child who once begged for a living along the Baijiang River with the original owner.

"You can be regarded as having eaten the dividends of the big era."

Meng Zhou sighed in his heart.

At this moment, he was still using the Five Elements to merge into the waters next to Fenglin Island, and he didn't have the idea of showing up to talk to Yixu, and by the way, he paid attention to his situation, and Meng Zhou left quietly.

In the massive amount of information collected by the Changle Chamber of Commerce, Meng Zhou had also seen the name of the Baijiang Gang several times.

It's just that the content of the information is very brief, and it is all in the form of the vassal forces of the Xu family.

And this Xu family is also a veteran force in Jade Lake, and it has a place in Jade Lake during the Mo family's domination of Jade Lake.

Later, after the collapse of the Mo family and the great changes in Jade Lake, the Xu family took advantage of the situation and became one of the minority shareholders of the Jade Lake City Lord's Mansion, and successfully supported a monk who was not from the Xu family within a few years, but had a deep relationship with the Xu family, and completely gained a firm foothold in Jade Lake.

And because of this history, the Xu family is very willing to cultivate and make friends with monks with foreign surnames who show potential.

The family style is very open.

And Xu Lei was able to connect with the Xu family, but it was because he used the tiger skin of the Mo family and the identity of the Baijiang gang leader to marry a daughter of the Xu family who was not very good in cultivation, but all other abilities were the best choice.

The Mo family fell, and all the forces subordinate to the Mo family were immediately purged and divided.

Xu Lei, a marginal little man who nominally has both the label of the Mo family and the son-in-law of the Xu family, successfully escaped from the whirlpool of the Mo family with the help of his wife and hugged the thigh of the Xu family.

When a force is on the rise, it tends to open up more upward channels.

Xu Lei's wife, who is not good at cultivation ability, but is the best choice in other aspects, especially in business and life, has become more and more important in the Xu family, and now she is the actual person in charge of a foreign chamber of commerce of the Xu family.

Xu Leifu is expensive to his wife, and although the Baijiang Gang is not at the same level, it is also a healthy, sustainable and profitable organization, and it can also continuously cultivate new Qi practitioners.

Although he himself is relatively marginal in the Xu family because of his hard injuries in cultivation, the life of a small family is very nourishing.

……

[Big brother, I've thought it all through.

When I broke through to the middle stage of Qi training, the momentum of the Baijiang Gang was fierce at that time, and as the leader of the Baijiang Gang, my prestige and status would definitely be much higher.

Maybe you can deceive a good Taoist couple who is satisfied, and then hurry up with her to give birth to a son.

When I step back from this gang leader in the future, she won't be able to run even if she wants to. 】

In his mind, Meng Zhou couldn't help but think of what Xu Lei said when he was traveling with him.

Meng Zhou couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart:

"Xu Laosan, you didn't think about your current situation at that time, right?"

Not only is the husband and wife loved, but the children are both complete, and the cultivation has also gone from the third layer of Qi training to the seventh layer of Qi training.

Although he only glanced at it, Meng Zhou could see that this guy had a very solid foundation.

Although his cultivation qualifications are not very good, they are definitely not bad.

Back then, he was selected by his predecessor to become the third-in-command of the gang, the number one thug in the gang, and the double-flower red stick.

Now he has a better opportunity, although his cultivation is growing rapidly, it is not vain, and every step is taken by him step by step, not by piling up resources and pills.

It is already the peak of the seventh layer of qi training, and it will be able to break through to the eighth layer of qi training within this year.

Within ten years at the latest, it is expected to reach the peak of the ninth layer of qi cultivation and impact the foundation.

His own chance, coupled with the tuyere of the times, does not need to do anything by himself at all, he already has the foundation to take off slowly.
