The night was calm.

The surrounding environment did not change in the slightest, and Ye Guan felt like everything he had encountered today, like a dream.

The four generals quickly gave the order, and the army was ready to withdraw the camp in the early morning, all preparations were in place, and everything in the camp was in good order, and there were no deviations.

Ye Guan sat quietly in the tent, since he came back, he didn't go out again, he used a little bit of food in the evening, but he had something in his heart, and he didn't use it too much, at the moment he just looked at the classics in his hand quietly, and his heart was like water.

He couldn't tell anyone what he had experienced before, not to mention that he was still at war, and the most critical thing was to take Qiu Chang City, and the secrets of Zongqiu Mountain that he discovered didn't seem to be so important.

It may also be that his current level is far from reaching the level where he needs to know these secrets, although he is a high-level person in the Dongwang Mansion, with a high level of cultivation, a special attribute of vindictiveness, and a top figure in the Prayer Heaven Empire, but before this secret, he is like a cloth cloth, and this secret is irrelevant.

In the middle of the night, everything is silent.

Ye Guan's camp tent was in a relatively remote part of the barracks, and he also informed that there was no need for any guards. Most of the sergeants on patrol only patrolled outside, and did not enter the vicinity of Yeguan's tent. At this moment, Yeguan's tent was unusually quiet.

The candle flame in the tent danced slightly, emitting a dim light, and Ye Guan's face looked a little gloomy under the dim candlelight.

Outside, there was a sudden sound of military boots stomping on the ground. Ye Guan raised his head slightly, and through the door of the big tent, he saw Xu Bao, who was slowly walking towards the tent.

Ye Guan gently put the book in his hand on the bookcase, his face was calm, and he waited for Xu Bao to enter the camp.

"My subordinate Xu Bao has seen General Leader Ye. Xu Bao walked to the door of the tent, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands into fists, and said respectfully.

Ye Guan didn't speak, and waved his hand lightly. Xu Bao immediately got up, went straight into the tent, came not far in front of Ye Guan, and knelt on one knee again.

"Lord Hui, this time I entered the mountain and brought back twenty-one scout sergeants, none of whom were killed. Xu Bao clasped his hands into fists and said softly.

Ye Guan nodded, did not speak, but looked at Xu Bao silently, he knew that Xu Bao must have seen the barrier with blue brilliance, and the fact that he could come back so quickly also proved that he listened to his advice and did not touch this barrier.

After Xu Bao replied to Ye Guan's order, he knelt on the ground quietly and did not say a word. Neither of them spoke first, and the tent fell into an unusually quiet place again.

After a while, Ye Guan asked softly, "The scout who came back, what is abnormal?"

"Nope. Xu Bao shook his head and said: "After the subordinates broke the illusion, they all seemed to have some dreams, and after asking, I learned that everyone's dreams are different, and they should be dreams generated by illusions, and there is nothing to pay attention to." ”

Hearing this, Ye Guan frowned slightly.

This was not what he had thought, he had thought that all the scouts would be similar to the illusions he had seen, and he could see the situation inside the dungeon, but now it seemed that this was not the case.

He believed in Xu Bao's words very much, and the scouts he brought back were in the camp at the moment, if Xu Bao lied and hid his true thoughts, he would come to inquire about it, and the lie would be self-defeating.

Ye Guan glanced at Xu Bao meaningfully, and asked in a low voice, "What did you see when you found them?"

"Back to my lord, the three teams of scouts were found in three different directions, and they left traces on their previous journey, which is relatively easy to find. Xu Bao replied: "When I found them, I didn't find anything worth noting, as for how they entered the illusion, the villain still doesn't know, around them, no traces of the formation were found, but everyone has entered the illusion, this matter is very strange." ”

When Ye Guan heard this, his heart was slightly abrupt, but his face remained silent, and he said softly: "Okay, it's okay, you go down, pull out the camp early in the morning, and rest quickly." ”

"Honorable Order. Xu Bao replied, then got up and respectfully retreated.

After Xu Bao stepped back, Ye Guan frowned slightly. After Xu Bao entered Zongqiu Mountain, he didn't seem to find the blue light curtain he had seen before, and the three teams of scouts before obviously didn't find it. Then there's something strange about that.

Ye Guan's mind was racing, thinking about this matter carefully, he felt that this matter was really weird, but in the end, it could only be attributed to coincidence. His march on Zongqiu Mountain was to quickly pass through the trunk of a tree, and neither Xu Bao nor the scout had this ability. It may be because of this that the situation that is seen in the end is different.

"There must be a great secret in this Zongqiu Mountain, and when the affairs of the palace are properly handled, we must come to find out. Ye Guan said secretly in his heart, slowly closed his eyes, and meditated and breathed.

......

I don't know where it is, there is a towering mountain peak, this mountain peak is covered with clouds and mist all year round, and it is covered with snow.

On top of this towering mountain, there is a quaint courtyard, the courtyard is not big, like an ordinary people's house, the difference is that this courtyard does not have a main entrance, and there are houses on all sides.

A burst of silver-white dazzling light came, and in the small courtyard of the small courtyard, a formation with a silver-white glow appeared. Slowly, eight circles appeared in this formation, and the silver-white brilliance slowly faded, turning into a brilliant light.

A figure, walking out of this formation, holding a folding fan, with a smile on his face, looking at the wind as heavy as jade, handsome and extraordinary.

This person is none other than Ouyang Jianming.

Coming out of the formation, Ouyang Jianming did not stop, but walked straight into the main room. The formation in the courtyard, after he walked out, slowly dissipated, turned into a little light, and disappeared into the vast mist.

At this moment, an old man with white hair is sitting in the main hall, with fairy wind and bones, crane hair and childish face, red face, bright eyes, and very energetic.

Ouyang Jianming entered the main hall, clasped his fists at the old man, and said softly, "It's done." ”

The old man nodded slightly, stretched out his hand, and the door slowly closed, blocking the biting cold wind outside. The old man motioned and asked Ouyang Jianming to sit beside him.

When he was ready, the old man asked, "But what's wrong?"

"The big ones aren't. Ouyang Jianming opened the folding fan, in such a cold environment, he actually opened the folding fan again, flashed slightly, and said at the same time: "I saw the person I should see, but I went a little abruptly, in order to make him believe, I revealed the formation." ”

The old man remained silent, stroked his beard, and said softly: "This is inevitable, Ye Guan is cautious by nature, if he wants to be worried, it will not work if he doesn't come up with the real thing." ”

"City Lord, I don't quite understand. Ouyang Jianming fanned the folding fan twice, closed the folding fan again, looked at the old man with some puzzlement, and asked: "You said before that dimension has deviated, but why did you set up a node for me to go over, just destroy it?"

Hearing this, the old man shook his head slightly, looked at Ouyang Jianming, and said softly: "You think simply, the previous line has been offset, causing problems in all the rings, and there is no way to remedy it for you to go to this node." ”

Ouyang Jianming frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "You said that there was a problem with all the rings?

"Nope. The old man leaned back on the back of the chair behind him, supported his cheeks with one hand, changed a posture that made him comfortable, and said: "This time, there is another set that is completely different from the previous one, which has nothing to do with what we did before." It's just another way. ”

"But after countless attempts, we already know that the line is fixed, but why is there a deviation now?" Ouyang Jianming was puzzled, looked at the old man, and asked.

"Because of one person. The old man glanced at Ouyang Jianming and said, "A very important person, when he shouldn't have appeared, he appeared, which led to the deviation of everything, and I have no power to remedy it, so I can only let it develop." ”

When Ouyang Jianming heard this, he fell into deep thought and stopped talking.

"I didn't let you go to this node before, and it's because of this person. The old man said softly: "Because of the change of time, everything has changed, I have not been able to touch this node before, but now I can enter, don't you think it's a little strange?"

Ouyang Jianming frowned and replied softly: "It's a little strange, the battle of the enclave in the East Wangfu should have ended long ago, but I went to this node and found that the progress of things had changed, and their battle was only halfway through." This is indeed inconsistent with what I have seen before. ”

"Hey......" the old man sighed lightly and said, "I created a new time and space, I wanted to change the future, but I didn't want to make a mistake, but I changed the past...... I really don't know if it's right or wrong. ”

"City Lord, you're still thinking too much. When Ouyang Jianming heard this, he smiled lightly: "Didn't you already say it, the dimension has deviated, and the node I went to is completely different from our node, that is to say, we are completely from two worlds, and what happened on that side has nothing to do with you, the city lord." ”

Hearing this, the old man closed his eyes, sighed softly, and after a long time, he spoke: "After so long and countless efforts, I finally found that I can't change the status quo. ”

"There's nothing wrong with that. Ouyang Jianming chuckled, opened the folding fan again, gently instigated a few times, and said: "If you look at everything in the world like this, you will never die, so it should be regarded as cultivation." ”

"Cultivation ......" The old man opened his eyes, looked at Ouyang Jianming quietly, looked at the smile on his face as always, and said softly: "This is my fate, I don't know if it is right or wrong to pull you in." ”

"It's your old fate, yes. Ouyang Jianming chuckled and said: "But this is also my fate, do you think that if I can't meet you old, what other path can I take?" I am very free now, and the city lord doesn't have to worry about it." ”

When the old man heard this, he let out a long breath.

"Huang Yuchen...... What happened to you......" The old man closed his eyes again, thinking secretly in his heart.

If Huang Yuchen sees it, he will definitely recognize this old man, he is the mysterious old man who appeared in the vast mountain, the vast city lord.

"May history ...... It won't be repeated. The vast city lord spoke, said this faintly, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.

Ouyang Jianming on the side, with a pleasant smile on his face, gently shook the folding fan, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Outside, the wind and snow were still there, and the wind swept up the white snow around it, forming a white whirlpool.

Another gust of wind struck, stirring the whirlpool and drifting into the vast fog and disappearing.

......

Early in the morning, Zongqiu Mountain.

Ye Guan ordered the whole battalion to be opened.

All the sergeants got busy, put their equipment in order, put them on their horses, dismantled the simple walls of the camp, and the dismantled timbers were neatly stacked together.

The sun was just born, everything was ready, and 20,000 sergeants lined up in a neat queue, under the leadership of their respective captains, and advanced to Qiu Changcheng.
