Chapter 1404: Insight into the subtle sky, a word that makes you vomit the fragrance
"Ah..."
The long queue outside Yujing City all day long has disappeared today, and it seems quite deserted.
The sun's shadow is slanting to the west, the birds are hiding, and I don't know where they are going.
The golden osmanthus along the road is still strong in the light snow. The golden color is covered with a layer of white gauze, and the fragrance comes from a distance, bringing with it a bit of coldness.
On the distant forest mountain, a black figure with its head and face covered, said "Ah" for several breaths in the cold wind.
"……sneeze!"
When he stepped on it, flying snow flew up.
The sneeze finally came out.
Zhu Yiyi, who only showed a pair of sinister eyebrows and rat eyes, rubbed his nose vigorously and looked into the distance. The south gate of Yujing City was as big as a grain of rice.
"Who is thinking about me? Are you scolding me?"
"Tsk! That guy Li Fugui, who I haven't even met once, dares to call me here. He's holding a chicken feather as a command arrow!"
"Does he know who is the number one hero of the First Sin Palace on Void Island and who is the second in command on the first floor in the sky..."
After muttering a few words of complaint, Zhu Yiyi's eyes fell back to the snow, looking at the crisscrossing black shadows, and began to ponder.
The Wuminglin Mountain, hundreds of miles away from the entrance to the southern city, has now been dyed white.
Weather or other reasons, no outsiders are here at the moment.
However, if you carefully count the shadows on the ground, there are hundreds of them, as if they are trapped in a big circle.
Most of these shadows haven't moved for a long time...
But as time goes by, more shadows always break into this "big circle", causing commotion, and finally become still, as if lying on the snow and sleeping forever.
"Many people died..."
"It seems that the person this time is difficult to save. Maybe I will have to catch him."
The sun fades into the distant mountains, and the sky becomes late afternoon.
Zhu Yiyi let out a long sigh and tossed the pebbles in his hand back and forth to relieve his anxiety.
The pebbles turned into leaves as they flew up from the palm of my hand, turned into snowballs as they flew upward, and turned into dirty trousers that came from nowhere when they fell back to the other hand.
This is "stealing the sky and exchanging the sun", one of the cores of Kinmen's stealing technique.
Zhu Yiyi was already warming up. He had to prepare to steal the target immediately and then escape.
As for where the target is now...
Of course at your feet!
The hundreds of shadows on the snow are exactly the projection of the battlefield near Dong Ji’s tea shop at the southern gate of Yujing City.
The shadow that remains motionless for a long time is the white clothes of the formation eye.
The shadows that trespassed into the situation were moths drawn to the flames, such as the Ghosts and Gods Gang and the dead men of the Xiang family.
The only shadow that can move back and forth is naturally the person in charge of the situation - Dao Qiongcang.
This is the technique of "transformation", which allows the most direct spying from the side by projecting the target's shadow.
Although it is a two-dimensional shadow projection method, Zhu Yiyi, as the only inheritor of the Golden Gate Stealing Technique, has already practiced this technique to perfection.
By looking at the shadow, he can directly create a scene of the battlefield in his mind, and even add various colors to it, making it lifelike.
In addition to no sound, no facial expressions, etc...
The rest are all benefits.
At least, this can avoid 99% of the special induction from the target that may be triggered by direct observation. It is the highest level of voyeurism for thieves.
"Why isn't it better yet..."
Unable to hear the sound, Zhu Yiyi scratched his head and back, feeling uncomfortable all over.
But he is still very patient.
It's just that he hasn't fought such a tough battle in a long time - in the past, if he wanted anything, he could just steal it, openly and without any detours.
This time the target is the Taoist Palace Master...
Forget it, just bear with it a little longer!
…
At the gate of the south city, Dong Ji Tea Shop, inside the Hundred Worlds Severing Spirit Array.
"The sun has gone down, but I am still waiting."
"Usually at this time, I no longer deal with the affairs of the Holy Mountain, but start leisurely entertainment after dinner."
"For example, exploring the secluded areas, playing chess, handicrafts, clay sculpture, embroidery, burning incense, fantasy, drinking tea..."
Dao Qiongcang paced back and forth, walking around Xiang Yao Yao, citing hundreds of examples in succession like a fly, which made the latter's eyes turn white in annoyance.
Dao Qiongcang had left this formation before and went to look for the Five Deceivers of Heaven and Man.
But as soon as he touched the mask, the gods and humans exploded.
The demi-saint self-destructed, and even Dao Qiongtian had no choice but to take care of the aftermath and come back in despair.
Still not prepared enough, I underestimated the Devouring Body...
No! It should be said that the guy was too vigilant and too decisive. He blew himself up and stopped all his back-ups.
As long as he is slower...
No problem!
If you can't hold the small one, hold on to the big one now, there will always be bigger fish that will take the bait... Dao Qiongcang is never discouraged, the stronger the opponent, the more excited he becomes.
There was a buzzing in her ears, but Aunt Xiang couldn't close her eyes and hold her ears.
Her upper and lower eyelids seemed to be held open by invisible fingers. She could not move her spiritual thoughts. She could only watch the sky slowly disappear from the left, appear on the right, disappear again from the left, and appear on the right...
It starts over and over again, it’s so annoying!
There is a necklace around her neck, with a token hanging on it, with the word "forbidden" written on it.
For Aunt Xiang, a ban on martial arts is enough to completely kill her spiritual energy, spirit, soul and other game powers.
At this moment, she is the fish on the chopping board.
Apart from Dao Qiongcang not daring to force her to speak, he controlled everything he could.
"By the way, you still don't know how to make the pan-fried mandarin fish, right?" Dao Qiongcang became interested when the conversation came to this point. He gestured with his hands and started cooking from a distance:
"The most perfect thing is to cut it open in the middle, cut the fish bones into two halves, flip it over and cook until it's brown..."
"Finally, sprinkle on my exclusive secret 'loose fragrance powder', wow, that smell, that texture..."
After Dao Qiongang finished speaking, Aunt Xiang remained unmoved.
There were hundreds of people in white clothes behind, and there were sounds of slurping and swallowing.
Several of them had stomach rumblings, obviously they were hungry after waiting all afternoon.
Lying on the ground, twitching and desperate, there was a ghost face.
He was no longer surrounded by the fried fish from the Xiang Family and the Ghosts and Gods Gang. In the subsequent waves of "saviors", the ANBU checked their identities one by one.
Dao Qiongcang is not shy about letting everyone know his results at this moment.
Ghost Face just heard that there were not only the remnants of the "tea house" back then, but even the "Qin Burning" earlier.
It's a pity that they explained it here and the forces behind it were also exposed.
Dao Qiongtian did not move, and the Anbu and other units of the Holy Mountain moved out to take what should be taken and kill what should be killed.
By following the clues, I don’t know how many people can be found in this wave.
"Oh, talking about it makes me a little hungry..."
Dao Qiongcang took out the teapot and moistened his throat. After glancing at the corpses on the ground, he looked at Aunt Xiang who pursed her lips and said nothing, and said happily:
"Speaking of which, I'm also curious about a question. Since you left the Secret Realm of Four Symbols, why did you run to Yujing City? Isn't this asking for your own death?"
Aunt Xiang was startled, then sneered, isn't it your Holy Emperor's guidance that is causing trouble in the dark!
Seeing no response, Dao Qiongcang continued to say:
"Do you think I used the Holy Emperor's guidance?"
"Actually not, I don't need it to deal with you yet."
He shook his finger and shouted:
"I have set up obstacles in the direction where you might escape."
"Including various teleportation arrays, leading to the Eastern Territory, leading to the Southern Territory, and even leading to the cross street corner..."
"You didn't go to all the places, but in the end you chose Yujing City. I have to say, this is really unexpected."
"But that's how people are. Human emotions are the most complex and elusive."
"Maybe it's because I miss the Xiang family, or maybe it's because of the Ghosts and Gods Gang?"
Dao Qiongcang pointed at the ghost face lying on the ground:
"For them, you chose to come back; for you, they chose to die..."
"This kind of emotion is so touching."
Aunt Xiang took a deep breath, her eyelids began to twitch, but she didn't speak.
"I wonder if God is such a compassionate and righteous person." Dao Qiongcang lowered his eyebrows and continued.
"Bah!" Aunt Xiang couldn't hold it back and spat at the unsuspecting Dao Qiongang, but the latter avoided it with a smile.
"Do you remember Yan'er?" Dao Qiongcang changed the subject, "Your little friend in the Four Symbols Secret Realm."
Aunt Xiang's eyes turned cold.
"What did you do to her?" She swallowed her words.
"You haven't mastered the art of self-cultivation. It seems that she is quite important to you..."
Dao Qiongcang shook his head and laughed, "If I were a bad person, I would have caught her and started torturing her, just because I gave you that look just now."
He spread his hands and said, "It's a pity that I'm not... Don't worry, Miss Yan'er is living a good life now and is killing White Walkers. Maybe she will be a good prospect for the Holy Palace in the future."
After a pause, Dao Qiongcang smiled half-heartedly: "Do you still remember your bestie?"
After Aunt Xiang was startled, her pupils narrowed slightly.
My bestie...even she has almost forgotten this person's name!
This was one of the trio she formed under the pseudonym Xiangxiang during the trial in the Four Symbols Secret Realm.
But unlike Yan'er, the boudoir couldn't resist the temptation after she came out of the Ranming ruins and entered in praise of the name.
This was a long time ago.
How can it be possible to know the universe?
"I know everything."
Dao Qiongcang's face was solemn, and after leaning down, he seemed to be whispering to a devil.
Soon, he broke away from the bad guy role and said mockingly:
"Auntie Xiang, Auntie Xiang, they all created Yougui Pavilion, but you are still not outstanding enough!"
"I want to check not only my girlfriend, but also Yan'er. I can also find out something."
"Not only Yan'er, but also the White Walkers you wielded in the Four Symbols Secret Realm, the spiritual skills you have used along the way, your breath, fragrance, and everyone you come into contact with... may expose your existence!"
"If I were you, I wouldn't talk to anyone when I entered the Secret Realm of Four Symbols. Even if I did, my memory would have to be erased before we parted, let alone helping them free of charge."
"If you can escape today, next time you enter the game, remember to be clean with your hands and feet. Small people are also people, so don't capsize in the gutter." Dao Qiongcang smiled.
Aunt Xiang couldn't even close her eyes even if she wanted to.
The long sigh seemed quite helpless under this situation.
Meeting such a disgusting master...she felt that she had done a good job, but now she had to admit her failure.
"But I also want to thank you."
Dao Qiongcang seemed to be unable to stop for a moment, revealing any information that might attract Aunt Xiang's attention:
"Through Yan'er, I found the location where my bestie entered the ruins of the God-Slayer after we parted ways with you."
"It took about a quarter of an hour..."
After a meal, seeing Aunt Xiang looking attentively, Dao Qiongcang pursed his lips with a half-smile:
"Guess what happened?"
What a stupid thing... Aunt Xiang was so angry that her chest was high. After looking away, she turned back: "What happened?"
Even though she knew not to talk, Aunt Xiang had to ask now.
It’s about the Ranming ruins, and God is still inside.
Dao Qiongcang is very annoying, but his ability to collect information is obviously better than hers, and she urgently needs to get this information.
"So he's not mute?"
Dao Qiongcang covered his lips in surprise and said with a smile: "In exchange, one question... You know, I am very trustworthy."
"Say!" Aunt Xiang replied in a muffled voice.
There were hundreds of people in white clothes behind, and there was a slight commotion.
After being annoyed by the Taoist Palace Master for a whole afternoon, they all thought that Aunt Xiang's mouth could not be pried open.
Never thought...
Grinding an iron pestle into a needle, the Dao Palace Master's perseverance is really extraordinary, and he succeeded!
Dao Qiongcang turned aside the many corpses around him and asked casually: "Did you also notify Xu Xiaoshou?"
The three words "Xu Xiaoshou" that suddenly appeared in front of me were so out of place.
Aunt Xiang's eyes were slightly focused, and her heartbeat almost skipped a beat.
But she controlled all the subtle subconscious reactions!
She had prepared everything earlier, and even though her attention was attracted by Dao Qiongcang's question at this moment, she did not relax, just for fear that her body language would be seen by this insightful guy.
When asked, Aunt Xiang was in a dilemma:
If you answer "yes" directly, with your suspicious temperament, will you think more and feel that the answer is actually "no"?
Answering "no" would be a bit deceptive. It is better to stand on the first floor and let the veteran think about which floor he is on...
His thoughts were running through the lightning, and as soon as his red lips parted, Aunt Xiang's words were about to pop out.
Dao Qiongcang stared at her steadily, a smile like water suddenly seeped out from his cheeks, he stretched out his fingers and made a "shush" sound, and said calmly:
"No need to answer..."
"I have the answer."
Grass!
Aunt Xiang was angry.
How did you tell?
I didn’t even hesitate at all!
I haven't said anything yet, and my subconscious reaction has been completely controlled. Why do you have such dog eyes? How can you still see the answer?!
How could you tell... The hundreds of white-clothed people behind were also stunned.
In their world, after the Taoist Palace Master asked, Aunt Xiang wanted to speak, but was stopped.
Nothing was revealed in the middle. How did the Taoist Palace Master know about it?
The desperate thing is...
At this time, Dao Qiongcang no longer had any desire to share or explain.
He completely skipped the questioning phase and gave an honest answer:
"Half a quarter of an hour later, my girlfriend came out and returned to the same place."
He even added a piece of advice: "If someone comes to rescue you later and succeeds, no matter who it is, remember to tell him not to chant the name unless he has the confidence to fight against the Five Holy Emperors after he comes out."
Aunt Xiang took a deep breath like a normal breath, which was not long or short, and relieved all the irritability and depression.
But at this moment, all the things related to "boudoir" and "god" were gone from her mind, and she didn't want to continue the topic of dyeing Ming ruins.
All she could think of was "Damn it, Xu Xiaoshou must not come here!"
"I'm curious, what answer did you get?" Aunt Xiang asked with a smile on her red lips.
"The answer you don't want to know." Dao Qiongcang also smiled.
"Oh, how did you get it?" Aunt Xiang was unwilling.
"Start from the moment you become curious."
The scene seemed to freeze for a moment, and Aunt Xiang’s smile also froze.
If eyes were knives, Dao Qiongcang has been reincarnated eighteen times, and each time he was cut to death by a thousand cuts.
Soon, she smiled like a flower again: "I lost, but I really want to know, did you really get the answer from the moment I was curious?"
Aunt Xiang is really unwilling!
She still felt that there was nothing wrong with her reaction.
Dao Qiongcang's expression didn't seem like he wanted to say it, but in the end he said it honestly, perhaps to make it a better formula for next time: "Actually, it's not."
"Oh? When was that?"
"When I ask a question."
"Why?"
"You were thinking, your hesitation, your expression that you tried hard to control but controlled..." Dao Qiongcang chuckled, "Sorry, I couldn't hold it back, but it was really obvious and very funny."
The corner of Aunt Xiang's mouth twitched, but she asked shamelessly: "Then if I really don't know, how should I react?"
"I don't know." Dao Qiongcang shook his head, "But if you don't know, you don't know, and if you know, you know. The two feelings are completely different... You know this 'feeling', I can't describe it to you too much, that's
Something that can only be understood but cannot be expressed..."
Aunt Xiang's face turned cold: "Old Taoist, you talk too much."
"Don't I always talk a lot?" Dao Qiongcang was stunned.
"You know how it feels." Aunt Xiang had an expression that could only be understood but could not be expressed in words. "You are covering up, don't lie to me, otherwise I won't say a word next."
You have said this before... Dao Qiongcang controlled his urge to talk nonsense, knowing that once these words came out, Xiang Yaoyao would probably be unable to get anything out of him.
He pondered for a moment and said calmly:
"Actually, that's not a problem."
"My original intention was just to make you realize in horror that when I asked this 'question', I was already prepared to deal with Xu Xiaoshou..."
Dao Qiongcang looked at Aunt Xiang steadily and considered his words: "Unfortunately, our focus does not seem to be on the same point."
Does this mean I didn't even pay attention to the key points?
"Oh!" Aunt Xiang's chest suddenly puffed up.
"What's wrong?" Dao Qiongcang was shocked.
"Give me a basin..."
Dao Qiongcang didn't know why, but he took out a basin from the space ring and handed it over.
Soon, he was released from the confinement and saw Aunt Xiang bending over and vomiting into the basin and spitting out a rainbow.
"how……"
Dao Qiongcang was stunned, this was something completely beyond his expectation.
Morning sickness?
Xiang Yaoyao, are you pregnant with Shenyi’s child?
No, Xiang Yaoyao's pulse condition clearly did not have this crucial point when we were contacted before - this has been checked!
"are you OK?"
After he had vomited all the incense, Dao Qiongcang hesitantly handed over the handkerchief.
"Leave far away!"
Aunt Xiang took the handkerchief and glared at Dao Qiongang with her white eyes, "You make me feel sick!"
"puff……"
The group in white clothes at the back didn't know who it was and laughed out loud.
Just as Dao Qiongcang was about to look back, his eyes suddenly moved and fell on the fading shadow of the soles of his feet, but he quickly raised them again.
no……
but!
"coming!"
Thank you [Northern Genius Jiang Nayi] for the 10,000 reward to Li Fugui. Fugui, please come out and say something.
Li Fugui: "Jiang Underwear, then you should also go outside the city and wait for the response."
