After Yan Jue left, she lay on the couch for a while, but she couldn't fall asleep, so she simply turned over and sat in a daze.
outside the house.
Yan Jue and You Jiang walked to the courtyard and asked, "How was the investigation?"
"There are reports from the Central Plains that Jiao Yinchang has returned to Liu Shi, but there has been no movement. And Fang Baimei has been nowhere to be found. We only know that he last appeared in the Middle East."
The man in black must have been Fang Baimei that day. Yan would never forget her voice. The butterfly blood Gu broke out of its cocoon, and she came to Northern Xinjiang just at this time. There must be some connection. He nodded, "Send someone
Continue to pursue her whereabouts. Also, where is Yin Sa?
You Jiang took out something from his arms and handed it to him, "I sneaked into the Emperor Wa's Palace and found a secret compartment in Yin Sa's palace, and there were these dried leaves in it."
The leaves in his hand were no different from ordinary dead leaves. If he put it in front of his nose and smelled it, he couldn't smell anything special. Yan was rarely curious about this thing, so he spread it out in the palm of his hand and asked, "Do you know this thing?"
You Jiang shook his head, "I don't know."
Thinking of waiting for Fang Hongzhao to come back, Yan Jue no longer hesitated and asked, "Are there any outsiders coming to visit us in the past few days and nights?"
Ever since Yin Sa released the life and death Gu for Yan Jue that night, every now and then, some night walkers would try to sneak into the backyard in the dark to investigate. Fortunately, You Jiang kept a close eye on them and fought them off one by one. They had no intention of attacking by force.
After discovering it, he ran away without a trace. It is probably that Yin Sa just wanted to explore the purpose of Yan Jue's trip.
You Jiang said: "It used to be quiet before, but starting from yesterday, there are more people coming."
Yanjue nodded, and when he was about to continue saying something, the sound of footsteps could be heard vaguely across the white wall of a courtyard. He turned the leaf over his fingertips, and then ordered: "There may be something unexpected on the day of the Heavenly Festival. Please bring it with you."
Let senior brother and Xiao Ci find another place to live, and remember to remind Boss Qin to be careful."
You Jiang cupped his fists and said, "I understand." He glanced at Fang Hongzhao coming in through the courtyard door, lowered his head to Yanjue, and walked out.
Yanjue stood there quietly, looking at the people who walked in quickly, "You're back so soon."
"I'm worried about you, City Lord!" She raised her hand and pointed back. Chi Tianlin sat down on the ground holding a pile of thick ancient books at the door. "It's a pity that there are too many related books and I couldn't find them at the moment, and I didn't
If you hold back, everyone will move out!"
Yan Jue shook her head helplessly and laughed, she was simply robbing...
Chi Tianlin almost stopped and sat on the stone steps, panting like an ox.
If nothing else, I still care about important things, "Do you have any clues?"
Fang Hongzhao sighed, "I don't know much about the art of witchcraft and I don't know where to start... I might as well find some witch doctors, they will definitely be more reliable than me!"
Yan Jue said: "The backlash of the blood evil came to me in the illusion, and was not transferred to me by others. In this way, it is not a simple witchcraft. You have been using Peach Blossom Soul to save people for a long time, so you should understand it better.
Ability, this matter, must be yours."
Fang Hongzhao felt the pressure and muttered: "But what if I can't get rid of the blood evil's backlash even though I try my best..." At this point, he couldn't help but complain, "City Lord, you have always been prudent in your work, how come you don't even have the consequences this time?"
regardless of……"
"The situation was urgent at the time, and I made a panicked decision. I didn't have time to think too much. You also know why we came all the way." Yan Jue turned around and walked forward, and the two of them slowly moved towards the farther corner. Yan Jue
He whispered to her: "If Ana'er dies, do you think Yin Sa will tell me where the blood jade is hidden? Even if it is a hard robbery, we are alone in the northern border, beyond the reach of the main peak, how can we deal with these thousands of people?"
The people of Wanmiaoling."
Just like a lone lion in a heap of wealthy wolves, it has to be cautious. If Yin Sa wants to deal with them without anyone noticing, it is not completely impossible. Yuhua Fuxiang is seriously ill, Huaci is young, and now plus
Since Mo Shuruo has no strength, it will always be difficult for the three of them to deal with it. Even if Xiang Jingyi and Chi Tianlin are added, the strength is still too small.
"Yin Sa's heart cannot be judged. For safety reasons, we naturally have to guard against her." Yan Jue was silent for a while and said: "Since Ana'er is willing to come back to life, there is no need for Yin Sa to occupy Nv Zhu's house.
Location."
Fang Hongzhu naturally understands the situation he is in now, but it is not an easy task to get rid of Nuzhu. "So what do you want to do?"
"If you want to abolish her, you can only make the things she did public. I will ask You Jiang to implement the evidence and send it to the priest's hall tomorrow." Yan Jue paused for a moment and handed her the leaf in his hand, "
Look at what kind of plant this is and what it does."
Fang Hongzhao took it and looked at it repeatedly for a long time, then sniffed it and said, "It's a rare leaf, look." She took out a luminous pearl from her pocket, picked up the leaf, and looked through the halo.
, the veins on the leaves are clear, and there is still water in the dry mesophyll. "This plant is called dill, and it grows in wasteland and bushes near the forest. It seems colorless and odorless, similar to hay, but in fact, this is its original appearance.
Even if it is broken, as long as it is not burned by fire, it will not die like a dry leaf."
"Is it poisonous?"
"As far as I know, there shouldn't be any." Fang Hongzhao put the leaves into the medicine box and said, "But for the specific uses, I have to take them back and explore them before I can give you the answer."
Maybe he was overthinking and thought there was something weird about what Yin Sa had hidden. Yan Jue nodded and didn't care, "We don't have much time. If there really is any secret in this leaf, we must find it out before the Heavenly Sacrifice."
." It's not urging, it's just that the situation is urgent, "I'll let You Jiang do the other things. You just need to think of a way to break the backlash of the blood evil in me."
She nodded and said: "I understand."
Yan Jue continued to give instructions, "For the time being, you will stay in the palace of Wa Palace for an hour on behalf of Mo Shuruo."
Fang Hongzhao's eyes widened, "Let me take Shu Ruo's place! What are you going to do?"
Yan Jue said: "Just in case they are discovered. I have something to ask her about Xue Sha, Po Hun Gui, and Jiao Yin Chang."
She nodded in agreement, "I need to ask her carefully. She has been living this day and she hasn't figured out her family affairs yet. She is unlucky enough to be tossed around."
"You stay in Ana'er's palace and be careful not to be discovered. If you have any questions, ask Chi Tianlin to inform You Jiang." He frowned and said: "I'm worried that the backlash of the blood evil will come back. If no treatment can be found by then,
..." He paused and said in a serious tone, "You go find Qilin Jue for me and bring it to your mother, and then bring Mo Shuruo back to Lingnan safely..."
When he said this, Fang Hongzhao felt inexplicably sad, and she hurriedly interrupted, "Bah, bah, bah! What are you saying to be depressing? I promise to find a way to deal with it for you. You can't have those messy thoughts!"
When Yanjue re-entered the room, he could still vaguely hear Chi Tianlin's screams.
"Moving back again...don't do it!"
When he saw the person in the room who had gotten up, he couldn't hear other sounds. He closed the door and walked over, looking at the woman sitting stupidly on the edge of the bed, "What's wrong?"
Mo Shuruo came back to his senses and immediately stood up and looked at him, "City Lord."
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Mo Shuruo shook his head and said: "I'm not uncomfortable, I just feel a little weird and wondering who I am."
"Illusion is so disturbing. The consciousness of two people overlaps in one body. Naturally, there will be some confusion. Just get used to it and it will be fine."
"But what is going on?" She raised her left hand and saw that her hand no longer looked like her own. "Is it really Anael who is alive during this time?"
"No." Yanjue explained carefully: "You are the one who is alive. Jiao Yin often uses witchcraft to suppress your consciousness. Although your actions in the past month are controlled by Ana'er, in fact it is still you.
Do it. To put it simply, it’s just Anael’s spiritual consciousness that controls your body.”
"What's the difference between this and the ghost-possessed thing people say..."
"The theory of ghosts and gods is that they are nothing but can touch the real body, but the consciousness of the void that relies on illusions relies on the human body to exist in the world. The difference between the two is that illusions have a certain degree of reality."
Mo Shuruo suddenly realized, "Can Anael really survive in someone else's body?"
Yan Jue shook his head and said truthfully: "The illusion of a world of nothingness, although it has a sense of reality, is ultimately false. Ana'er can indeed survive in that girl now, but as time goes by, Ana'er's consciousness will slow down.
It will disappear slowly, and the girl will forget herself and gradually live like her. You should feel it very deeply. It has been replaced by Anael for more than a month. Now that you wake up, you have slight fuzzy symptoms. "
"I see..." She murmured, but she still felt puzzled, "You said that illusion is fake, so the power of the seven illusion treasures passed down by people in the world are all fake?" But she had clearly seen Hua Yingshi.
Hua Porcelain comes to life again.
"It's not all false. Just like Huaying Stone, although the rumors are exaggerated, it can indeed cure all diseases and bring people back to life." He took a few steps, as if he wanted to explain to her clearly.
"But if you want to use jade, you still need some specific conditions."
"What conditions?"
Yan Jue said: "Back then, the city lord Di Zhan went overseas and the illusion treasures he sought were complementary to the Cold Protection Art. That is to say, even if ordinary people get them, they will not use the power of illusion, and these jade stones will just be the same as ordinary precious jade stones.
, nothing strange. Of course, there are also times when external force is not needed, such as the Soul Gui I wore on you before."
Hearing him mention it, Mo Shuruo reflexively touched his chest, but the jade stone was gone. She lowered her hand and said doubtfully: "I was seriously ill when I was young, and my grandfather made an amulet from the secret stone of Lingnan to protect me.
I don’t know, how did you…?”
"A few years ago, Mr. Mo went to Tianmu Peak to inquire about how to use the soul soul. After not seeing him for many years, he reappeared today. Thinking about it, it's not surprising that I can guess it." He continued: "
The soul stone itself is an exotic stone with its own power. If worn on the body for a long time, the user can gather the energy of others and condense his own consciousness."
"It turns out that my illness was cured by Pohungui..." Mo Shuruo finally understood. No wonder when Mr. Mo gave her the black jade dragon-breaking stone amulet, he said it would never leave her body.
I don't understand. I don't understand.
There are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the sky. The knowledge here is too broad, and Uncle Mo cannot accept it completely. It is said to be divine power, but it is also man-made. It is said to be man-made, but it is beyond the world.
Seeing her sigh, Yanjue asked softly: "Are you tired?"
"Ah?" She came back to her senses and realized what he asked. She shook her head and said, "At first, she felt a little tired and felt like she couldn't exert herself. But now she doesn't seem to feel it anymore."
He nodded and asked again: "Are you hungry?"
Anael had not been able to eat or sleep well these past few days. When Mo Shuruo woke up, he felt a little weak. She had always been weak, but with the heavenly sacrifice approaching, she had now replaced Anael as the saint.
What to do, I feel a headache just thinking about it.
Mo Shuruo said with a sad face: "How can I think about eating now? I was captured so far away. I don't know how grandpa is doing. Are you worried about me... I want to go back to Qing'an now, but
She is the Saint of Anal and cannot let me go."
Yan Jue comforted her and said, "I will take you back after the heavenly sacrifice."
She smiled and nodded, but remembering that leaving Northern Xinjiang was not easy, she couldn't help but feel anxious, "Both Jiao Yinchang and Fang Baimei have left Northern Xinjiang. I don't know what they have planned, but in front of me, Yin Sa will definitely not let me go."
of."
Yan Jue analyzed: "Based on the current situation, she should use the blood evil to drive out Anal's soul at the heavenly sacrifice. You don't have to be afraid, she doesn't know that your consciousness has returned, and the blood evil she used earlier will be harmful to you.
It’s no longer useful.”
"Blood evil!" Mo Shuruo was frightened when he heard this word. She is a Gu student and knows all about witchcraft in Northern Xinjiang, so she naturally knows what it is. "Once the evil evil technique is cast, someone will definitely die.
Now that I've woken up, how did you untie it?" She blinked and denied the conjecture in her mind, but seeing the acquiescence on his face, Mo Shuruo almost couldn't help but yell out, and finally managed to
Lowering his voice, he said, "If anyone outside the technique interferes, there will be backlash. Why are you...don't you know that you will die if you do this..."
He looked at her quietly, "I said I would send you back to the Mo family, and I will never break my promise."
Mo Shuruo didn't know whether he was angry or worried. He gasped and turned away, "I've told you many times that you don't need to treat me like this. I'm just a subordinate. I don't need your protection or your support."
Promise, I..." She lowered her head to hold back her sobs and quickly wiped away her tears, "I don't deserve this..."
Mo Shuruo only thought that Yanjue was kind-hearted, and that he risked his life to save him probably because they had met him before. He might not mean anything to him, but because of these misunderstandings, he could not let go of his feelings for him.
Looking at her back, Yan Jue remembered his blindness, and was afraid that she would misunderstand that he wanted her to return the favor, "I saved you voluntarily, you don't have to feel burdened, and I never thought about asking you to repay anything...
…”
Obviously I should feel moved, but instead I feel aggrieved.
"Just because you haven't thought about it doesn't mean others don't think so!" Mo Shuruo turned around and looked at him, with pleading eyes, "You helped me and saved me time and time again. That's a favor, and you have to repay it. I've always wanted to
To repay these kindnesses, why...why don't you understand..."
"..." Yanjue's expression was a little dazed for a moment, and it took him a long time before he spoke again, "Since we met, I've known that you have a stubborn temper, and I don't want to force you on some things. But there is no malice in anything I do...
"
Mo Shuruo felt uncomfortable in his chest, and even his breathing was a little short, "I know you just want to treat me like you treat Hongye, but I..."
I am different from her...
He opened his mouth and murmured for a long time, but he couldn't say the last sentence.
