170 He has been hiding something(2/2)
Cui Jing looked at Wujue with admiration in his eyes: "Master is the one who has sacrificed the most for this matter. If Cui Jing doesn't even believe in Master, no one can trust him."
Wujue let out a long breath and smiled: "Captain Cui really regards the matter of 'that girl' as his own business."
Cui Jing moved the corners of her mouth slightly, but did not deny it after all.
"You are right. This matter should be decided by herself. This has been my plan since I decided to set up this formation..." Wu Jue said in a low voice: "Your Highness is not reviving this time just to do something.
Whose minister, whose child... She just needs to be herself and do what she wants to do."
Speaking of this, Wujue looked at Cui Jing: "So, I lied to the saint from the beginning."
Cui Jing waited seriously for him to continue.
"This secret technique of resurrecting the soul is not without precedent... Someone in the Western Regions set up this formation a hundred years ago. The dead were able to return to their souls decades later, but they were burned to death as evil spirits shortly after."
"Back then, when my good friend found the broken ancient book in the Western Regions, he also inquired about this matter. However, in order to prevent the matter from being leaked, he erased all traces of the old rumors."
The friend he calls is Meng Lie.
"Back then, I had no intention of telling the saint that I wanted to set up an array to summon the soul for His Highness, but he was accidentally noticed by the saint... That's all."
It's just that he had some reservations and never told the saint the truth that this formation was very likely to come true. He didn't want the saint to have too much hope, lest he wouldn't be able to cover up the return of His Highness if it came true in the future.
To put it bluntly, he had long been prepared to part ways with the saint if His Highness returned.
But he was not sure in what capacity His Highness would come back and how many years he would have to wait before he could come back. He originally thought that he might not be able to wait until he died.
Unexpectedly, God would still be willing to show mercy to a man who was destined not to die a happy death.
"...If it weren't for that old man Tian Jing's nonsense, the saint wouldn't have noticed it so quickly! He was wandering around as soon as he came out of seclusion, he only knew how to read faces!" Wu Jue couldn't help but get angry when he said this: "I have been in seclusion for three times.
At the end of the year, I didn’t shut him up!”
These words are detrimental to merit, but he did it against nature, so he naturally has the qualifications to break the jar and smash it.
"Saints trust him... saints will believe whatever nonsense he says."
Wujue frowned and said: "Actually, I am not the only one who is secretly guarding your majesty. Your majesty also does not completely trust me... Back then, because there were some flaws in the old book that contained this secret technique, the saint used to secretly have people search for the book.
Because, after taking it away for a while, I suspected that I had also looked at the sky mirror."
Cui Jing: "So, the master just told the sage the method of entering the formation to test."
Wujue nodded.
This method is indirectly recorded in that ancient book. If he keeps silent and Tianjing remembers it, the saint will later know that he is deliberately concealing it, which is equivalent to not asking for trouble.
In the situation in the pagoda just now, he had tried to dispel the saint's speculation on the grounds that "the daughter of the Chang family is not of Ming and Li family blood", but the saint's heart is very strong. If he insists on denying it again, then he will say It doesn't make sense.
"Master, do you remember what 'she' saw when she first came to Dayun Temple and what you and I saw when we came out of the Tiannv Pagoda?" Cui Jing asked.
"Remember...I think it was because I accidentally interacted with the formation."
Cui Jing said: "She had already sensed this before she entered the tower at that time. If she enters the tower tomorrow, something will definitely happen."
Wujue was worried: "But this formation must be entered tomorrow... because no matter what method is used to avoid it, it will only confirm the saint's guess."
Cui Jing: "Master, do you have a way to deal with it?"
"My master knows that I like to cause trouble, so he once left something for me to protect me from the disasters caused by the formation... But this formation is an evil formation, and that thing is probably not very useful..."
While Wu Jue was thinking, he heard the young man in front of him speak: "Since there is no way to deal with it, this junior has a suggestion, I don't know if it is feasible -"
Wujue looked at the young man sternly.
