However, at first glance, the black ant was stunned.
There was no one in the huge Eighty-Six Palace.
As an imperial daughter who is qualified to compete, although the eighty-sixth palace is not as good as the living quarters of the emperor and the harem, it is still very large, at least several floors high, with several rooms on each floor.
Let alone eighty-six people, there is more than enough room for dozens or hundreds of people.
Of course, monks are not mortals. They don't need to eat, drink, clean or bathe, and they don't need to be served by others, so they don't need so many people. The many rooms are just for practicing or cultivating various arts.
But you can’t live alone.
Even if there are no serving maids or attendants, at least the Eighty-sixth Princess herself should be there.
This is the palace of Eighty-Six himself. It would be a joke if Eighty-six himself was not here.
And for so many days, with so many pairs of eyes staring at him, if Eighty-Six came out of the palace, it would be impossible for no one to see him.
"Is it because the formation is hidden?"
However, the black ant was not too surprised and guessed in his mind.
It just broke through the public formation protection outside the Eighty-Sixth Palace. It is very likely that the Eighty-Sixth Princess is still under public protection and has arranged private protection.
No, it is not possible, but certain.
Because every royal family will arrange double protection inside their palace.
Because the public protection time is too long, many people can bypass it secretly. This is an open secret.
In order to ensure that they are not spied by others, some royal families even set up triple protection, fourth layer of protection, five layer of protection... The black ant took a few steps forward, stopped, and then, a powerful spiritual consciousness came from it.
It emanated from the tiny body and probed into the palace.
Wherever there is a feeling of being blocked, there is private protection.
No matter how special the personal protection is, as long as it is arranged by Eighty-Six, the black ants are confident to break it.
However, his spiritual consciousness swept around, but there was no feeling of being blocked.
All parts of the palace are open to traffic.
This should mean that there is no private protection in the palace.
But the problem is, what the spiritual consciousness scanned is the same as what the black ant saw just now.
The entire huge palace was empty, without anyone.
How can this be?
The Eighty-sixth Princess did not leave the palace, so why could her spiritual consciousness not scan anyone after entering the palace?
No, it's not just people... The black ant soon noticed something strange again.
Not only was there no Princess Eighty-Six in the palace, but there were no other living beings either.
This other creature does not refer to humans or animals, but includes tiny creatures like it, such as flying insects, ants, and mole crickets.
Even if the Eighty-Six Palace is really empty, at least these tiny creatures should still be there.
But now, the palace that the black ants saw was devoid of any living creatures. It was truly empty and lifeless.
In the dark night, a lifeless palace gives people a particularly weird and terrifying feeling.
But instead of showing any fear, the black ant sneered: "It's a small trick!"
As it spoke, its body suddenly changed. In the blink of an eye, it transformed from a tiny ant into a human being the same size.
Obviously, it is not a real ant, but a monk who turned into an ant.
Although he turned back into a human, he did not show his appearance, but his whole body was blurred, and he was in a black shadow that looked like burning black flames, still blending into the night.
Immediately, the black figure stretched out two fingers of his right hand and lightly scratched in front of his eye socket. Immediately, a deep light green light flashed over his eye in the darkness.
This light was like a will-o'-the-wisp, burning weakly.
The black shadow looked through the green light, and saw that the Eighty-Six Palace seemed to be deformed, shadowy and distorted, just like the image in a distorting mirror.
But in the shadow, the eighty-sixth palace is no longer as empty, dead, and without a trace of life as it is when divine consciousness scans it. Instead, it is the same as a normal palace, giving people a completely different feeling.
"It is indeed an illusion..." The black shadow sneered: "With a little bit of tricks, your true colors will be exposed!"
As he spoke, he turned into a breeze and rushed towards the interior of the palace silently.
The green light was still burning in his eyes, reflecting the bizarre and distorted palace behind the illusion, but it was the real palace.
On the second floor of the real palace, in a room on the left, there was a shadowy figure that kept changing its shape and it was unknown what it was.
But there is only Eighty-Six in the Eighty-Six Palace, so who else could this figure be except Eighty-Six himself?
Although the black shadow was small, its speed was not satisfactory. In a blink of an eye, it entered the palace, followed the stairs, and in the blink of an eye arrived in front of the door of the room where Eighty-Six was on the second floor.
The shadow did not knock on the door. Although he had returned to his human form, he was still the same size as an ant, or even smaller than an ant. He could sneak in through the crack in the door.
There was no obstacle in the process, and the black shadow easily entered the room where Du Xueqing was.
However, as soon as he entered, the black shadow froze.
He suddenly realized that he had not entered a certain room, but was still standing behind the palace gate.
It's the place where you can see the entire palace just now after passing through the public formation protection.
what happened?
The shadow was shocked.
He had already entered the palace and entered the room where Du Xueqing was on the second floor. Why did he suddenly return to the starting point?
Affected by a fantasy?
This is impossible! Black Shadow has been using a special pupil technique, which can not be affected by ordinary illusions and directly see the essence. He is looking at the essence and entering the Eighty-sixth Palace. There can be no mistake.
Then why are you back behind the gate?
The black shadow looked up at the huge Eighty-Six Palace through the green flames.
In his eyes, the Eighty-Six Palaces were still shadowy, constantly distorted, and seemed as abnormal as in a dream, but the shadow knew that this was the real Eighty-Six Palaces.
Because there are eighty-six shadows in this palace.
However, what the spiritual consciousness and naked eyes can see is that the eighty-sixth palace seems to be normal, but there is no human figure, no living creatures, and it is lifeless.
Obviously, what the spiritual consciousness and naked eyes see are illusions and not real.
Then why is it true that the Eighty-Six Palaces are still wrong?
The shadow lowered his head and thought.
He had already reacted. Although the situation he encountered was strange, it was actually not difficult to understand.
The answer is simple. What he saw with the green light pupil technique was still not the real Eighty-Six Palaces, but an illusion.
Therefore, he would be affected by the illusion and open the door of the room inside the palace, but come out of the palace instead.
This kind of thing that violates the logic of reality can only happen in fantasy.
So here comes the question, the green light pupil technique can see through the illusion and get to the essence, so why is it still an illusion after seeing through the illusion?
