Chapter 419: The dream-inducing art that I ventured into has finally found its true core
Qin Yang closed his eyes and began to look for Nan Ke Yimeng.
After a while, I saw Nankeyimeng slowly emerging from the dream.
"Have you mastered it completely?"
"No, but we don't have much time. We have to start. Besides, in this world, your ability will increase significantly. If you don't fully master it, it should be almost there."
"Okay, the monk you found is quite good. He has attracted a lot of attention. He will not give up his only hope. What you have to do will be relatively easy. I will also follow the plan.
It will make it impossible for Emperor Ying to escape, but you have to remember that as soon as you succeed, Emperor Ying will know immediately."
"It doesn't matter if he knows. He is a very rational person. At that time, even if he comes in person to kill me, it will not help. He will only try his best to complete his original plan.
Control the entire sea of thoughts so that he will not be swept away by the waves."
Qin Yang's expression was very calm. He had deduced it countless times before starting, but he never worried about how to escape after succeeding.
Because Emperor Ying would not get angry and break the rules to chase him. Even if he had to face someone, it would definitely not be Emperor Ying.
As long as Nan Ke Yimeng can delay it until then and not die.
In this world, Nan Ke Yimeng is definitely the most difficult being to kill. In just over two years, if Nan Ke Yimeng keeps quiet, Emperor Ying will never be able to kill him.
If he doesn't kill Nan Ke Yimeng and devour this world's top expert, Emperor Ying will not be able to achieve his goal.
But as long as Nanke Yimeng gives Ying Di a chance, Ying Di will definitely seize this chance at all costs.
In ten thousand years, it would be impossible for him to know more about this place than Nan Ke Yimeng.
This guy who has evolved from a psychopath to the level of a perverted sage may not be as strong as Emperor Ying, but his control over the overall situation may be even higher than Emperor Ying.
why?
Because the place where we are now has the shadow of Nan Ke Yimeng.
In this world, in the eyes of a tapir, all thoughts that escape are like substance and can be swallowed up.
Especially the thoughts emanating from a strong man like Emperor Ying, for tapirs, they are not only a supreme delicacy, but also something that can enhance their strength and can be called a natural treasure.
When Emperor Ying first entered here, he didn't know this at all, so he had unconscious thoughts that escaped and were swallowed by the tapir, and Nan Keyi managed to turn them into a dream and sealed them in the metal clouds.
Later, as Emperor Ying learned more and more about this place, he put all his thoughts and dreams that might have escaped into a place, a place that no one else could enter.
It's the place right in front of you.
This is where the mountain and river pictures made by the painter back then were transformed.
After Emperor Ying's manipulation, this place is not only a real mountain and river, but also a mountain and river within the mountain and river picture scroll.
Anyone who comes here will step into the real eight thousand miles of mountains and rivers. After the painter also died, no one can enter the mountains and rivers map again.
Nan Ke Yimeng can go in, but as long as he goes in, Emperor Ying will be alert immediately. This place itself may be a hole dug by Emperor Ying for Nan Keyimeng, waiting for him to come to his door.
As long as Nan Ke Yimeng holds back Emperor Ying outside, he will not pay attention to this place. No one except Nan Ke Yimeng can easily do anything inside.
Even under normal circumstances, no one can enter the Mountain and River Map.
He cannot enter through normal means now and can only use smuggling.
Through the dream in the metal box as a springboard, relying on the power of the same origin, we enter the world of mountains and rivers.
"Be careful. There are not only thoughts that Emperor Ying has escaped, but also Emperor Ying's dreams. It's even more likely that there are some memories that he specially separated out to guard them. You may meet anyone in there. You
If you enter with your true body, you will truly die if you die inside.
In addition, never use the dream spell inside, as you will not be able to distinguish between reality and illusion, and you will be lost in it. As long as the final time passes and you have not come out, you will never come out again."
"Don't worry, I've seen many similar movies, otherwise why do you think I can understand it so quickly?"
"What is a movie?" Nan Ke Yimeng was slightly startled, then shook his head: "Forget it, you just have to know the rules in your mind. You go to this place and look for it. I left you the soothing incense that the incense master gave me. There are ten of them.
Under normal circumstances, it will be enough for you to use for three years. It has the fragrance to protect you, and you are weak enough to blend in easily."
Nanke Yimeng waved his hand, and the dreamland changed into a wilderness. There was a stone box hidden in the hole of a giant tree.
After the explanation, Nanke Yimeng looked at Qin Yang and said seriously.
"You must come out alive. Rather than die in the hands of others, I hope I can die in your hands."
"Okay, I will definitely come back alive and free you."
Qin Yang said and bowed.
Regardless of the name, Nan Ke Yimeng has taught Qin Yang enough things, and his mantle can be said to be passed on to Qin Yang.
He does not have the name of master and disciple, but he has the actual status of master and disciple. He deserves this gift.
The dream dissipated, Qin Yang opened his eyes, came to the place guided by Nan Ke Yimeng, found the stone box here, and took out the sealed Anshen Incense from it.
The name of the soothing incense is completely different from the soothing incense made by Qin Yang. It is made by the incense master himself.
The spiritual incense, Zhu Youxiang, etc. of later generations originally came from the incense masters of ancient times. However, the inheritance of the incense masters has long been lost in unknown history. The only ones that remain and are the most widely circulated are
It’s fragrant.
Take out one of them, insert it into the incense burner, combine the three powers of soul, true essence, and qi and blood into one, gently rub the top of it, and the soothing incense will ignite instantly.
Wisps of light smoke drifted out, turning into pieces, surrounding Qin Yang's body, and the aroma penetrated into Qin Yang's body bit by bit.
After a while, Qin Yang had a thought, and the aroma swirled, separated out, and penetrated into the puppet master's body.
It stands to reason that the Puppet Master can already be regarded as a magic weapon, and it is okay to be brought into it, but his strength is too strong, so it is better to be safe.
A piece of soothing incense burned out quickly, and the light smoke hovering on the two people's bodies slowly penetrated into their bodies and disappeared completely.
At this time, Qin Yang nodded to the puppet master.
The puppeteer opened his mouth and flipped down the wooden hemisphere he had used before, trapping the two people in it. Then the lower part of the ball extended out the other hemisphere, completely wrapping the two people inside.
In the wilderness, there was only one wooden ball left on the ground, but immediately after, the wooden ball slowly sank into the ground, and in an instant, it disappeared underground, leaving nothing on the ground.
"Is this thing of yours reliable? This is our way back. If someone destroys it, we can't come back."
"Don't worry, I found the heart of the Zhumu tree. It is extremely hard and has no breath to escape. It can separate the inside and outside, and no one will find it."
Qin Yang nodded and said nothing, thinking to himself, if Zhu Mu is so powerful, wouldn't it still be impossible to cut off Emperor Ying's dream? If we could really cut off the connection between this dream and the outside world, we wouldn't be able to sneak across...
They took out the metal box, pressed it in five places with five fingers, and twisted it slightly. The metal box suddenly turned into countless metal cubes and collapsed, and turned into a flash of metal door in front of them.
Behind the door, steam is rising and thunder is rolling.
Qin Yang and the puppet master stepped inside.
In the sky, black clouds covered the sky, covering the entire world. The land was barren and dark, with only undulating hills, and streaks of thunder pouring down like heavy rain.
The thunderbolts connecting the sky and the earth, like giant blades, are constantly cutting everything here. Some remaining spirits can also be seen, jumping and dodging here to avoid the huge thunder blades.
"Don't kill any living thing here, and don't devour any power here. Everything here is the dream itself. We can't let this dream be destroyed."
Qin Yang shouted in a low voice. After looking in the direction, there was a faint spot on the horizon. You could see that the sky was clear. That was the place where this dreamland and the mountain and river map interacted with each other and were connected together.
"Gargamel, be fast. Go to the front, to the place where the two are connected, and seal that place. You must not allow anything else to connect the two."
The puppet master nodded and instantly turned into an afterimage and disappeared.
Qin Yang ran away quickly, avoiding the huge thunder blade and the monsters running wildly here, and ran all the way towards the horizon.
Half an hour later, Qin Yang arrived at the edge of the horizon. This was the edge of this dream. He could vaguely see a place stretching for several miles and tens of feet high, connected to a land of blue sky and white sun.
There were also some spirits here who tried to cross over while avoiding the thunder, but were stopped by the puppet master.
Qin Yang didn't dare to bet that the monsters here should be the ones the actor saw when he first came here. Who knows whether these dream things will cross the boundary and cross into the dream world transformed by the mountain and river map.
After leading the puppeteer across the barrier, the puppeteer uncovered his belly, took out a bunch of wooden blocks, and threw them out at will. The wooden blocks turned into giant trees, which were stacked together to form a barrier.
This passage is blocked tightly.
A layer of light passed by, and the wood piled up to form a barrier, turning into a bare stone mountain. People on both sides could not get through, no matter which side.
The thunder dissipated, and there was a blue sky above their heads. The place where they were was a barren mountain. There was an extra stone mountain here, which was nothing eye-catching.
Looking at the beasts, birds and insects running all over the mountains and plains, as well as the vague waves of fighting coming from the distance, Qin Yang took a gentle breath.
I immediately understood in my heart that Nan Ke Yimeng was right.
This is the place where countless thoughts fall, it is also the dreamland, and it is also the place where some of Emperor Ying's memories are located.
In order to prevent leaving things in the sea of thoughts and leaving holes for others, he imitated the sea of thoughts and created this place.
It's just that his strength and realm are still far inferior to those of the former gods. Everything here is essentially false, and is essentially a dream mixed with fragmented memories.
But everything in the sea of thoughts is true.
This is why Nan Ke Yimeng cannot leave.
Because he himself is a real, real creature, this has become his shackles.
He cannot be like the puppet master, who transformed himself into a puppet body and his soul into a spirit.
On the contrary, the stronger the strength and the higher the skill, the stronger the fit with Nianhai, and the deeper and stronger the shackles will be.
The best outcome for him is liberation.
Qin Yang looked at the divine lights shining in the distance and the people fighting there, and began to speculate in his heart.
What kind of memory did Emperor Ying cut off himself to protect this place?
Where is his door hidden?
We don't have much time, so we need to speed up as soon as possible.
After quickly advancing for a certain distance with the puppet master, Qin Yang stopped and looked down at everything here from a high altitude. He felt very familiar with the terrain and some things here.
Sure enough, after walking a short distance again, Qin Yang's expression suddenly sank as he looked at the magnificent city in the distance.
"Lidu."
However, Lidu at this time was far from as blooming as it would be in later generations, and instead had a more chilling air. The city walls were covered with mottled marks, potholes, and defects in many places.
There are many people from the Ministry of Industry who are repairing this magnificent city wall, and there are also soldiers whose vitality is like burning, constantly patrolling on the city wall. Most of the city gates are closed, and a few are open.
The interrogation was also strict.
Qin Yang rubbed his head, which was a little big.
Emperor Ying was so mad that he not only transformed into some people, but also directly transformed into Lidu to guard it.
The good thing is, now I can be sure that the door is definitely inside.
But there are also disadvantages. How to get in?
In just a short time, at the gate of the city, more people were killed than could be counted on one hand.
He would rather kill the wrong person than let go. Anyone whose identity cannot be determined will be immediately labeled as a craftsman and beheaded.
The Great Ying Dynasty in my memory had an aura that looked down upon the world. They were not worried about anyone daring to cause trouble in Lidu, nor were they worried that someone could cause trouble in Lidu.
But now, everything here is cautious, even cautious to the point of being neurotic. It must have been a long, long time ago.
Most likely, it should be the period before the previous dynasty was overthrown.
Before the former dynasty was overthrown, most of the southern border was the territory of the former dynasty, and Lidu was actually not that far from the territory of the previous dynasty. It could almost be regarded as guarding the country's gate.
Qin Yang rubbed his head, feeling a headache.
What is certain now is that the memories that Emperor Ying cut out were not memories about some people, or some memories, but directly cut out all the memories within a period of time.
Trying to find what you are looking for here is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
After observing for a long time, Qin Yang quietly retreated, thinking that when he first arrived here, he seemed to have seen someone fighting.
Return with the puppet master.
The two people who were fighting were quickly found.
One of them is wearing a fancy outfit, from hair accessories to attire, it can be seen that it is slightly different from the Great Ying God Dynasty, and the other is wearing a blue robe, dressed like a scholar from the Great Ying God Dynasty.
Qin Yang and the puppet master watched quietly from a distance. After waiting for three hours, they saw someone seemed to be coming from the direction of Lidu, and the two people were still in a stalemate.
Qin Yang suddenly understood.
"Gargamel, kill the other one. The scholar will be knocked unconscious first."
After Qin Yang finished speaking, he saw that another person's head was missing, and the scholar was also lifted by Gargamel with one hand and shook, all the bones in his body fell apart, and he fainted.
Qin Yang nodded, rubbed his cheeks, and the bones all over his body made a crackling sound. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into the appearance of a scholar, and then activated the method of transformation, changing the true form of his soul.
Then I tried to touch the corpse, but as expected there was no response. It was indeed just the person in the memory, but it was relatively too real, but it still did not cross the threshold of essential change.
After finding a bunch of things on the scholar's body, he threw the scholar to Gargamel.
"Can we make him not dead but also disappear?"
"Simple, don't worry. He can be said to be dead, but he is still not dead. I know what you are worried about. You are afraid that the sudden death of someone who shouldn't die will arouse his vigilance."
With that said, the puppet master opened the lid on the belly and directly stuffed the fainted scholar inside.
"Okay, you should avoid it first."
Qin Yang put away the puppet master, changed his clothes, picked up the sword that the scholar was holding before, swung the sword, and a flash of light flashed, and the headless corpse on the ground turned into powder and scattered.
And Qin Yang's face slowly lost color, as if he was seriously injured.
After looking at everything around him and confirming that there was nothing wrong, he staggered on his flying sword and headed towards Lidu.
Halfway through the journey, I happened to meet someone coming from the direction of Lidu.
"Mo Han, are you okay?" Before he could get closer, he saw one of the old men, his face full of anxiety, and he shouted loudly.
Qin Yang remained silent and did not reply easily. He watched several people coming over and responded with silence.
The old man came up to support Qin Yang, the worry in his brows dissipated a little, and he spoke with some seriousness.
"Mo Han, I know you feel sorry for your sister, but there is nothing we can do..."
"Master, stop talking. Young Master Mo Han is injured. Let's go back first, in case we meet Dayin's people outside again." A middle-aged man on the side looked around with wary eyes and interrupted.
The old man's plan for a tirade.
"Then let's go back to the city first." The old man nodded and hesitated.
A group of people arrived at the city gate for routine inspection.
Not only do you need to show your identity token, but you also need to verify the true identity of each person.
Qin Yang pretended to be seriously injured and unconscious, and was carried to the gate of the city. Someone helped him take out the identity token, but it was no longer possible to activate it himself.
The city gate officer stepped forward and cupped his hands towards the old man.
"Forgive me, Mr. Su. I'm just doing my duty and conducting routine inspections."
Under a ray of divine light, the true form of the soul was reflected on a stone wall. After confirming the consistency, the city defenders released the man.
After successfully entering Lidu, Qin Yang thought to himself.
The surname is Su, and it seems that he is quite powerful. Under such strict circumstances, he would rather kill the wrongdoer than let go, and he can actually get the officials guarding the city gate to take the initiative to accuse him.
Later in Lidu, it seems that no one with real power among the six tribes was named Su. It seems that this family fell into decline later on.
He was taken all the way to the inner city and placed in a compound to recuperate. Qin Yang honestly pretended to be injured and continued to stay according to the original trajectory here.
Originally, I just planned to get a random identity, sneak into Lidu first, and cross the outermost barrier.
Who would have thought that this guy named Su Mohan seemed to be a son of a powerful person, so Qin Yang changed his mind and used this person's identity to hang out in Lidu.
Maybe it will be much easier when you want to track down something, after all, walking is much more convenient.
Just from the few words he said before, Qin Yang speculated that this Su Mohan might be an impatient young man who had been wronged at home or had a disagreement with his elders about something, so he left the city in anger.
After guessing this, Qin Yang simply said nothing and just listened to others in silence. He wanted to understand everything about Su Mohan first before talking about it.
But in this scene, no one suspected it, they just felt that he was still angry.
"Mo Han, you have to understand Dad. Dad also knows that your sister was selected and entered the East Palace. It may be a good thing for our family, but it may not be a good thing for your sister. But there is nothing I can do. It's not that I don't feel hurt.
Your sister, we don’t even have a choice..."
The old man came again, looked at the taciturn Qin Yang, and began to quietly wipe his tears as he spoke.
"Mo Han, the rumors in the market outside may not be true. Maybe the prince is not actually the kind of violent person. If this is the case, your majesty will not say anything. Those who died before were just accidents.
, or they just don’t follow the rules.”
The old man talked for a long time, Qin Yang remained silent and listened quietly.
After a few days, people kept coming to persuade him, and Qin Yang almost figured out what was going on.
Su Mohan's sister was elected to the East Palace three years ago. Originally, this was a great thing, and it was a great thing for most people and nobles.
But the bad thing is that the people who were sent in before, except for the prince who didn't even look at anyone, the rest of them, without exception, all died violently.
Some people accidentally broke into places they shouldn't go and were killed by formations. Some people accidentally drank something and became obsessed and died. There were also some people who broke the rules and were killed with sticks...
Scattered here and there, quite a few have died over the years, and every one of them was favored before and would die violently within two years after giving birth to an heir.
And every time before he died unexpectedly, he was favored by Prince Wu.
So, irrepressibly, various rumors began to spread among the people, that Prince Wu was violent and a pervert, and that every woman who gave birth to an heir would eventually die tragically at his hands.
However, every time like this, Prince Wu would take care of the family behind his woman. Even if he made a mistake and was killed with a stick, he would not be implicated, which further strengthened the rumors.
As a result, some of the rich and powerful are willing to sacrifice the life of a daughter in exchange for the prosperity of the whole family.
Everyone wanted to send it in and gain Prince Wu's favor, but some were reluctant.
For example, the Su family.
It's a pity that the arms can't hold the thighs, and the Su family doesn't dare to disobey.
And now, Su Mohan's sister Su has given birth to an heir and an imperial grandson. It is the time for her to be favored recently.
But precisely because of this, Su Mohan believed the rumors and felt that his sister was about to be killed by the tyrannical prince.
He wanted the Su family masters to find ways to bring his sister back, but the Su family people said no, so Su Mohan got angry, left the city, and had a fight with spies from the Dayin Dynasty.
Qin Yang nestled in the room, thinking silently.
Wu, this seems to be the nickname of Emperor Ying when he was the prince, and it is also his name. Was this guy so scary when he was young?
Thinking about it later, it seemed that in the imperial city, I had never heard of concubines or concubines in the harem, or even if there was a queen.
It turns out that there were signs when he was young. Did this guy treat women as a fertility machine?
In fact, you are not moved by women at all?
Qin Yang no longer wants to worry about these things, he now has a reason to enter the imperial city.
When Mr. Su came to persuade him again, Qin Yang, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.
"I want to see my sister."
Mr. Su pondered for a long time and nodded.
"Okay, I might as well let your sister advise you."
Mr. Su personally arranged it, and soon, a decree came from the East Palace that Qin Yang could visit the palace.
A few days later, Qin Yang entered the palace and met Su Mohan's sister in a garden with peach blossoms in full bloom.
Her hair was tied up high, she wore simple but not shabby makeup, her face was soft, and her whole person exuded a gentle temperament. After seeing Qin Yang, she smiled, with a hint of reproach and pampering in her eyes.
"Mo Han, why are you dishonest again?"
"I miss my sister."
"It's because His Highness is so generous that he allowed you to make such an outrageous request. But I heard from my father that you always talk nonsense lately, so let me persuade you."
"Sister, you..."
"Shh..." The woman patted his forehead gently, looking into the distance, her eyes as tender as water, and her whole body exuding tenderness: "Rumors in the market are just rumors after all. How can you believe it? Your Highness is waiting for you."
I'm very good at understanding His Highness's wishes. There are some things that you don't understand because you are still young."
"Yes." Qin Yang nodded, without making too much distinction, and just said: "Can I come see you again in the future?"
"You must not embarrass His Highness."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of laughter in the distance, and a man with a majestic appearance and a temperament as gentle as jade walked over.
"What's so difficult about this? Qingjin, you stay in the palace every day. You miss your family when you think about it. Your brother is still young and has been following you since he was a child. What's so difficult about coming to see you."
"I have met Your Highness." Qing Jin stood up and saluted, then pulled Qin Yang and continued: "Your Highness, please forgive me, my brother is still young and has been spoiled since he was a child. This is the first time I saw Your Highness, so I lost my temper and forgot.
Etiquette."
"I have met Your Highness." Qin Yang saluted quickly, and then boldly looked at the young Emperor Ying: "Your Highness is completely different from what I thought."
"Of course you can only know what a person is like when you meet him." The prince smiled and seemed to know the rumors. He took off a jade pendant from his waist and threw it to Qin Yang: "Take it, I will miss you sister in the future.
You can enter the palace at any time during the day."
The prince stepped forward, supported Qingjin a little, stretched out his hand and picked off a peach petal that fell on Qingjin's head, and spoke in a lower tone.
"You haven't recovered yet, just rest more. Didn't you say you don't need to be so polite when you see me?"
"Your Highness, rules must be followed." Qing Jin spoke softly and muttered in a low voice.
Suddenly, the prince sighed softly, with a complex expression on his face.
…
After the visit, Qin Yang got what he wanted.
The outer wall of Lidu, with its strict inspection and protection, is the first layer of protection, while entering the palace is the second layer. The deepest secrets, the safest ones, are hidden in the palace.
What he is looking for is most likely to be in the most heavily protected palace.
But what surprised Qin Yang was that when he saw Emperor Ying when he was still the prince, he was completely different from what he expected.
He doesn't feel the coldness of being aloof and overlooking the common people. He is more like a young man with ambitions, who is kind and generous to others.
Especially his relationship with Su Qingjin, countless details and eyes, are flawless.
Even if he is fake, the tenderness in Qingjin's eyes every time she looks at him is as tender as water, gurgling, and it is impossible to hide it.
That kind of mutual affection cannot be faked.
Because every time, Qin Yang can feel strong emotional fluctuations here.
After Qin Yang came back, he sometimes wondered whether the reason why Emperor Ying cut off all the memories of this period was because it was the softest place in his heart. This was his flaw, so he cut it off.
Put the memory here.
Time passed little by little, and Qin Yang visited the palace every now and then.
Slowly collecting information, slowly getting acquainted with Qing Jin, and slowly getting acquainted with the prince. Many people in the palace became very familiar with him.
It took more than a year to thoroughly understand the layout of the palace, the changes in various prohibition formations, and the changing of guards, everything that could be used, was thoroughly explored by Qin Yang.
After all, this place is just a memory, and it is much easier to figure it out than it is in the real Lidu.
After exploring everything, I finally found a place, deep in the palace city, under heavy protection, a place where only the prince would go.
Finally, after waiting for another three months, I finally got an opportunity.
The war between the Daying Dynasty and the Dayin Dynasty was tense, and the prince went to the front line. Everyone in the palace, from the emperor to the prince, was not there.
Taking advantage of an opportunity to change defenses, Qin Yang left a clone to accompany Qing Jin there, while he quietly sneaked into the deepest part of the palace city according to the planned route.
Deep in this majestic palace city, there is a deserted and dilapidated small courtyard. There is only a large lock on the small courtyard to prevent people from entering. The courtyard walls are only about ten feet high, and there is no protection at all.
Qin Yang turned over and jumped into it, and what he saw was a tomb.
There is a coffin without a lid in the grave pit, and a tombstone without any words is erected in front of the grave pit.
Qin Yang looked left and right, but couldn't see anything special.
The soil around the tomb has long since dried up, and a layer of dust has fallen into the coffin with the lid open inside. It seems that it has stayed like this for several years.
Qin Yang frowned and walked around the small courtyard several times, stepping on every inch of the land and almost sifting it all over.
But still nothing was found.
Apart from the empty tomb, there was a deserted and dilapidated courtyard with even the house demolished.
Then I took out the coffin from the grave pit and looked at it. I went to the tombstone and found nothing.
Qin Yang's heart sank. After spending more than a year searching the most secret depths, he found nothing.
