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 the 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 has no inner demons.
Are teenagers having a hard time? It’s all over, why are you thinking about this? Her current cultivation level is so extraordinary that the world of immortality would tremble when she stomps her feet, and those 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 serve two purposes. The first is to attack people's mental weaknesses and break the Taoist mind. The second is to show what you 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 promised ability to move mountains and seas and change fate 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 to expose flaws.
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 over and frowned more and more.
She couldn't find anything wrong, as if these were real people.
Isn't this a fantasy? What is that? A small independent world in the mirror of reincarnation?
Unable to find the answer for a while, Bai Mengjin casually found a tea stall and sat thinking 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 said coquettishly: "Is that okay?"
The senior brother had no choice but to dote on him: "You said it, is it okay? 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 around when he heard the sound and saw a man and a woman sitting at the next table, wearing similar apricot-colored robes. The woman is a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a pretty face and still childishness; the man she has just seen before her eyes closed, but his temperament is much younger - Huo Chongxiao, it is 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, Yue Yunqiao died during a demon hunting operation. Huo Chongxiao was greatly stimulated, and his temperament changed drastically from then on.
If this person was really Huo Chongxiao, it would be impossible for him to act so blithely when he saw the junior sister who thought about him day and night in the illusion.
Could it be that he doesn't remember anything? Or is he also a person in an illusion?
Bai Mengjin had doubts in his heart, so he listened carefully to what they said.
Yue Yunqiao had a lively personality 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 monsters' favorite sacrifices."
"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 monsters. If they encounter something they can't solve, 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 about the appearance of monsters. 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 better 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 while, dropped two coins and followed.
The brothers and sisters left the market and headed to Nancheng. It is a place where three religions and nine streams live 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. The 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 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, and it was all my fault. I knew it was not peaceful outside, so I 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: "It hasn't been found 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 comforted him with a few words and took Yue Yunqiao to leave.
"Senior brother, what should we do next?" Yue Yunqiao asked.
Huo Chongxiao thought for a while: "Let's wait until dark to summon the spirits."
It was You hour after school, and it was getting dark now. Bai Mengjin simply refused to return and followed his senior brothers and sisters from afar.
The two walked along Yangjiao Street and finally stopped at a remote and deserted 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, it was completely dark. He took out the veil he had obtained 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, indicating that she was indeed dead, but 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 recruit a mortal, either the soul will be gone or it will 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 Yue Yunqiao on the wall behind her, but the two of them were unaware of it.
In an emergency, Bai Mengjin pinched his fingers and drew invisible runes: "Be careful!"
