Since arriving in the county town, this is the first time Ji Yuan has walked on the street. In the past, he would ride a horse-drawn carriage to and fro, and could not see the true prosperity of this place.
After all, most carriages drive on dedicated lanes, and there are no pedestrians or vendors on either side.
Nowadays, walking on the bustling streets brings different senses.
But now Ji Yuan didn't have much time to feel it. He hurriedly went to a car dealership with Qian Nichang, rented a carriage and hurried back to Qian's house.
This time he did not return directly to the courtyard where he was temporarily staying. Instead, he followed Qian Nichang into the depths of the mansion and came to an ancestral hall.
This place is the ancestral hall where the Qian family enshrines the plaques of their ancestors. It is also the place where the fate of the family is suppressed. It is protected by the legacy of the ancestors and covered by dozens of core formations. Even the great monks who have formed the golden elixir cannot remain silent.
Listen carefully for the movement.
After Qian Nishang activated several formations, Ji Yuan immediately threw the small tower he was holding in his hand. With one hand, he squeezed the tower, and the tower body immediately surged several times, and then a vortex appeared at the bottom of the tower.
With a muffled groan, a man in black fell from the whirlpool at the bottom of the tower and collapsed to the ground with a weak breath.
"town!"
Ji Yuan gave a soft drink and made seals with his hands. Then the small tower in mid-air regained its shape and landed firmly on top of the man in black.
Wisps of brilliance fell from his body, completely blocking the mana in black and his physique that far surpassed that of a first-level martial artist.
After doing all this, the two of them looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"What... do you want?"
After a while, the man in black struggled to sit up from the ground and took off the black cloth on his face.
He looked at the two people in front of him calmly, without any fear in his eyes, as if he didn't care about his life or death at all.
There is still a sense of arrogance and domineering about him. Even though he is just sitting with his head raised, he seems to be eye-level with the other person.
"You have two choices now, one is to seek death, the other is to tell everything you know about Shenxuan Sect."
Ji Yuan raised his eyebrows and said in an indifferent tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, the small tower floating in mid-air was pressed down by half an inch. The brilliance hanging down from the tower immediately became heavier, causing a series of explosions to sound from the man in black.
"Of course I don't want to die, but I can't tell you what you want to know."
The man showed a wry smile, sighed and said: "Sects in the world will set up multiple restrictions in the sea of consciousness of disciples to prevent the secrets of the sect's core skills and other secrets from leaking."
Not to mention Shenxuan Sect, even ordinary small sects are like this. The only difference is the strength of the forbidden power and the number.
As a second-level disciple of Shenxuan Sect, this person's status is not low among the masters, and because of this, more than ten levels of restrictions have been placed on his consciousness.
Once he tells the core secrets about the sect, these restrictions will burst out together, and even the great monks who have formed a golden elixir cannot bear it. At best, he will become a demented person, and at worst, his soul will fly away on the spot.
"Your name, realm, and the exercises you practice."
Ji Yuan pondered for a moment, and then spoke.
Hearing this, the man was obviously relieved, and he was obviously afraid that the other party would forcefully ask him, which would be tantamount to forcing him to die.
He snorted coldly, murderous intent appearing in his eyes.
Even the small tower in mid-air couldn't help but press down even an inch.
No wonder he was worried. A man could betray the sect that taught him and bestowed countless favors without hesitation. Even if he was bound by the Great Dao Oath, how could he guarantee that he would not betray him in the same way?
After all, there are many ways in the world, and the oath of the great road is not impossible to break.
Otherwise, there would not have been so many betrayals in history, leading to tragic murders.
Hearing this, Chen Rong simply said directly: "I can open my consciousness and let you plant restrictions. This is the only thing I can do. If you still can't believe it, just kill me.
"
As soon as these words came out, Ji Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a faint murderous intention on his body.
However, the other party was not afraid of the murderous aura emanating from him, and had an attitude of letting him do whatever he wanted.
It's not that he doesn't care about his own life, it's just that for the sake of what he said, if he were asked to give any more guarantees, he would never be able to do it.
The Great Dao Oath and the Consciousness Sea Restriction were the limits that could be achieved by conventional means. If this could not be trusted, then he really couldn't think of any other way.
"Open your consciousness."
After a long time, Ji Yuan suddenly put away his murderous intention, and then said coldly.
Chen Rong was immediately relieved. Although he looked calm on the face, saying that if he really couldn't do it, he would die, but in his heart, if he said he wasn't nervous, it was naturally a lie.
At this moment, he decisively relaxed his mind, opened up his sea of consciousness, and displayed it in front of everyone without reservation.
In this state, anyone can easily injure or even kill him, even if he controls his mind.
Opening the sea of consciousness is tantamount to presenting your consciousness, soul, etc. in front of others without any precautions.
When Ji Yuan saw this, he immediately kneaded the secret with both hands, and then a wisp of light flickered on the small tower in mid-air, falling directly into the opponent's sea of consciousness and turning into a seal.
Under this seal, as long as he has a thought, he can control his life and death with this tower, or make the opponent's soul suffer endless torture, and he can't survive but die!
After doing all this, he put away the small tower and unlocked the ban on the other party.
"It's not like you have to take away my family property, right?"
Chen Rong took out the elixir from Shanhe Bag, looked at the two people in front of him, and joked.
Now that a restriction was planted in the sea of consciousness, he did not show any abnormality at all. Instead, it seemed that nothing happened from beginning to end, and that his life and death were not controlled by anyone.
"Where is your Dao oath?"
Ji Yuan put the small tower into his sleeve and then asked with a serious face.
Hearing this, Chen Rong glanced at him angrily. His own sea of consciousness had been planted and restricted, so he still didn't feel at ease asking him to take an oath of greatness?
However, he had to lower his head under the eaves, so he had no choice but to sit up straight, use magic as a medium, and eloquently make an oath of hundreds of words.
The content roughly states that from now on, I am willing to become Ji Yuan's shadow, charge into battles for him, and even commit murders. I will never betray him in this life. If I violate my oath, I will be punished by eighteen layers of hell, and eventually my soul will be scattered.
Reincarnation.
After the oath was fulfilled, there was a vague fluctuation in the air, and Ji Yuan just nodded, then took out the colorful mask he bought on the street and threw it into the other party's arms.
"From now on, you will wear a mask."
He said directly without any intention of discussing.
In fact, even if he didn't do this, Chen Rong would still look for an object to cover his appearance. Otherwise, if Shen Xuanzong found out that he was still alive, the outcome would not be that bad.
It’s okay to be suspected of betrayal by his master. Now he has not only sworn the Great Dao Oath, but also opened up the sea of consciousness and planted a ban. Once Shen Xuanzong discovers that he is still alive, the end will be truly terrible.
Having to be tortured by both the oath and the master's sect, life would be considered as easy as death.
"Tell me everything you can about Shenxuanzong."
Seeing that the other party was wearing a mask, Ji Yuan asked directly.
When Chen Rong heard the voice, he thought for a moment, and then said in deep thought: "I won't tell you what I can find out. I will only tell you some things that the outside world cannot easily find out."
This person is also an extraordinary person. He adapted to his new identity immediately. At least on the surface, he did not hold anything back and told all the secrets he knew.
Although there are restrictions in the Consciousness Sea set by the elders of the sect, their function is to prevent disciples from revealing the sect's inherited techniques, secret techniques, etc., as well as some secret places within the sect, but there are no restrictions on others.
