The Bai Family Academy is located in the west of Bai Mansion. Going out to the east is the side entrance of Bai Mansion, and to the west is the largest market in Qingyun City.
Bai Mengjin came out of school and went to the market instead of going back to Bai Mansion.
Contrary to what many people think, she is a demon with a very consistent state of mind and does not have any inner demons.
She had a hard life as a teenager? She had already gone through it, so why are she worrying about it? She is now so advanced that she would tremble in the world of immortality when she stomps her feet, and the people in the Bai family who once bullied her have long since passed away, so why is it worth her extra effort?
So this illusion seems particularly strange.
Generally speaking, illusions have two purposes. One is to attack people's mental weaknesses and break the Taoist mind. The other is to show what they want to see most and make people addicted.
For Bai Mengjin, this past event of the Bai family is neither of the two.
This is strange. Since the Mirror of Reincarnation is an ancient treasure, it doesn't have just this effect, right? What about the ability to move mountains and seas and change lives against the will of heaven?
Therefore, Bai Mengjin decided to go to the market to explore. Qingyun City is a big city where immortals and mortals live together. The more people there are, the easier it is for flaws to appear.
Entering the market, there were unexpectedly many people, vendors and tourists crowded shoulder to shoulder, and the sounds of hawking came and went.
Bai Mengjin looked all the way over, his brows getting tighter and tighter.
She couldn't find anything wrong with them, as if these were real people.
Isn't this an illusion? What is it? A small independent world in the mirror of reincarnation?
Unable to find the answer for a while, Bai Mengjin found a tea stall and sat down to think about life.
She took a few sips of tea absentmindedly, and suddenly heard a charming female voice in her ears.
"Brother, we've been walking for a long time, let's take a rest!"
Then a familiar male voice teased: "You think this tea fruit looks good and you want to eat it, right?"
When her intentions were exposed, the female voice coquettishly said: "Is that okay?"
The senior brother had no choice but to dote on him: "Is it okay if you tell me? Just order whatever you want to eat, senior brother is a treat."
The female voice cheered and couldn't wait to call the waiter.
Bai Mengjin turned her head when she heard the sound and saw a man and a woman sitting at the next table, wearing similar apricot-colored robes. The woman was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a pretty face and still childish; she had just seen the man before closing her eyes.
It's just that he has a much younger temperament - Huo Chongxiao, it's actually Huo Chongxiao!
Her first reaction was to cover her face. If Huo Chongxiao entered this illusion with her, it would obviously be inappropriate to fall out now. Her cultivation has not returned yet!
But then she paused again when she heard the two of them talking.
She also recognized this little girl. She was Huo Chongxiao's junior sister Yue Yunqiao. The two were childhood sweethearts and had a very good relationship. However, not long after she started working, Yue Yunqiao died during a demon hunting operation. Huo Chongxiao was greatly stimulated.
Great change in temperament.
If this person was really Huo Chongxiao, he would not have acted so blithely when he saw the junior sister who was thinking about him day and night in the illusion.
Could it be that he doesn't remember anything? Or is he also in an illusion?
Bai Mengjin had doubts in his mind, so he listened carefully to what they said.
Yue Yunqiao was lively and chattered about tea fruits before talking about other topics.
"Senior brother, we have been checking for several days and still haven't found any problems. Are there really monsters in Qingyun City?"
Huo Chongxiao took a sip of tea and replied: "The missing people in the city are either boys, girls, or children. They are all the favorite sacrifices of monsters."
"But it could also be a human trafficker!"
"You are right, but if it were a human trafficker, the compass would not respond. The demon hunter reported this, so it is probably true."
In the world of immortal cultivation, in addition to the major immortal sects and families, there are also a large number of casual cultivators. Most of them make a living by hunting demons. If they encounter something that cannot be solved, they will turn to the immortal sect for help.
At this time in reality, Bai Mengjin didn't know that Huo Chongxiao had been to Qingyun City, nor did he hear that monsters had appeared. Is this an incident fabricated in the fantasy world?
She had an unknown premonition for no reason.
"Anyway, this matter is quite strange. It's best for us to be careful." After Huo Chongxiao finished speaking, he paid for the tea and left with Yue Yunqiao.
Bai Mengjin thought for a moment, dropped two coins, and followed.
The brothers and sisters left the market and headed to Nancheng. It was a place where three religions and nine streams of people lived together, with a dense population.
Huo Chongxiao knocked on a door, and a woman with red and swollen eyes looked at them doubtfully: "Are you two..."
"Auntie, Master Liu Xian recommended us to come."
This Immortal Master Liu should be the demon hunter who reported it. The woman suddenly realized it and quickly extended her hand: "Master Immortal, please come in quickly. Our house is simple, so I hope you won't dislike it."
Huo Chongxiao showed a polite smile: "How could it be possible? I am the one who has done the work."
The senior brothers and sisters entered and the door was closed.
Bai Mengjin's current hearing was not strong enough to hear what they were saying. After thinking for a moment, he took out the stack of magic talismans from his arms, took out one of them, and folded it into a paper crane.
She blew: "Go!"
The paper crane was surrounded by a spiritual light and turned into a flying insect, lying on the crack of the door. The sound inside reached her ears.
"Da Ya disappeared that night. It's all my fault. I knew it was not peaceful outside and didn't pick her up, so she didn't come back."
"Which way does she usually take? What time does she usually come home?"
"I usually take Yangjiao Street. There are restaurants there and it's more lively. Da Ya is always well-behaved and will come back after work. She'll be home by the second watch at the latest."
Huo Chongxiao asked about other things and finally asked for one of Da Ya's belongings.
The woman asked expectantly: "Master Immortal, can my eldest daughter come back?"
Huo Chongxiao was silent for a moment: "I haven't found it yet, I don't know yet."
The woman sobbed again: "Other people said that my eldest daughter was captured and eaten by monsters."
Huo Chongxiao said a few words of comfort and took Yue Yunqiao to leave.
"Senior brother, what should I do next?" Yue Yunqiao asked.
Huo Chongxiao thought for a while: "Let's wait until dark to summon the spirits."
It was You hour when the school was over, and it was getting dark now. Bai Mengjin simply refused to go back and followed his senior brothers and sisters from afar.
The two men walked along Yangjiao Street and finally stopped at a remote and deserted street corner.
"Senior brother, I feel that the yin energy here is relatively strong."
"Then here. Take out the things."
"good."
Yue Yunqiao took out the talisman pen and ink and watched Huo Chongxiao draw a simple soul-calling array on the ground.
After a while, when it was completely dark, he took out the veil he got from the woman and burned it in the formation.
Black smoke rose, the soul summoning array reacted, and invisible objects seemed to gather around him. However, after waiting for a long time, there was no further movement, and Huo Chongxiao's expression gradually became serious.
Bai Mengjin also frowned. The soul-summoning array sensed the aura, which meant that she was indeed dead. However, since she had not been able to summon a complete soul for so long, the problem was a bit big.
Danxia Palace's soul summoning array makes it easy to recruit a mortal. If you can't summon a mortal, the soul will either be gone or be held captive.
There are really monsters in Qingyun City!
Isn't this reasonable? The big devil is here. What monster doesn't have eyes?
At this time, something flashed past the wall behind Yue Yunqiao, but the two of them were unaware of it.
In an emergency, Bai Mengjin pinched his fingers and drew invisible runes: "Be careful!"
