(God's perspective)
"Demon Lord, you said that people don't live for others. As high-ranking people, we naturally don't live for others. What we do is a kind of responsibility." Jiang Liu looked at his changed ghost hands, "But It's different for Xin...I don't know if I will give up my responsibility because of her..."
"Love is an elusive thing." Yun Qishen stood up, "I heard your boss said about the Zhixin Lake. The lake will not appear in front of us on its own initiative. You have poor observation skills. Let me help you. .”
Jiang Liu stood up with Yun Qishen. He asked Yun Qishen again with doubts, "What will you choose?"
"How do I choose? What should I say here..." Yun Qishen was thinking why he asked me.
"What would you do if someone exchanged Taoist Master Xie Qi's life for your people?"
Jiang Liu's eyes were serious, and Yun Qishen naturally would not give a perfunctory answer.
"People don't live for others, and naturally others can't control their own lives. I won't sacrifice these other people for the sake of Xie Qi. Life and death are determined by fate. If something unexpected happens to Xie Qi, I think I will be with him... Sigh, let’s not discuss this anymore, this topic of people dying of love is really nerve-wracking.”
"I can see now that you are no longer avoiding questions, but Demon Lord's answer is really different from Taoist Priest Zhiqi. He was..." Yun Qishen spoke with an irritated tone before Jiang Liu could finish.
"I said, we don't need to discuss this topic anymore, it's important to find the intimate lake."
Yun Qishen's eyes darkened, and Jiang Liu shut up and followed Yun Qishen to search.
According to Jiang Liu's description, Zhixin Lake appeared twice nearby. Another day of collecting morning dew completes the important part. The other thing is to find Zhixin Lake.
But Zhixin Lake only exists as a location for more than two hours.
The seven days of morning dew must be used on the last day of collection, otherwise the most feared thing for the observer will appear in the Zhixin Lake.
Where the spiritual energy gathers the strongest, the chance of Zhixin Lake appearing is greater.
But recently, the mythical beasts have stopped appearing, and the spiritual energy has been rapidly decreasing. Jiang Liu is worried that Zhixin Lake will not appear.
Yun Qishen observed the situation in the entire forest with his mind-piercing skills. He lined up several places with strong spiritual power, and he and Jiang Liu searched separately.
When one party finds Zhixin Lake, he uses a whirlpool to summon the other person there.
Yun Qishen was thinking about Jiang Liu's words while searching. Is Zuo Qi's answer completely opposite to his own?
What would he say, sacrificing others for me?
Although it is very likely that he did it... Is it too narcissistic for me to think this way...
Speaking of which...
Yun Qishen raised his head and looked at the sky through the gaps in the leaves.
"He has almost completed his mission. I need to talk to him next time I go back... Oh, I'll go! What are you thinking about!"
Yun Qishen patted his cheek to stop himself from thinking. What is the most urgent thing now? How can he have time to care about his children's personal affairs!
In the evening, Zhixin Lake was found on the other side of the river.
Yun Qishen quickly went to the other side of the river to investigate Zhixin Lake first.
It was around seven o'clock in the evening, and Zhixin Lake appeared at two hours, which was four hours.
The morning dew is collected before six o'clock the next day.
In other words, Zhixin Lake will move at most three times in eleven hours.
"Um……"
Yun Qishen held up some lake water with his hands. The spiritual power contained in the water had a somewhat damaging effect on the protective spell that Yun Qishen cast with his demonic energy.
It seems that this lake cannot be touched by demons, so it should be okay to use magic...
The next thing was to wait. After almost half an hour, Zhixin Lake began to disappear.
Jiang Liu and Yun Qishen were not too anxious.
Because they had made preparations, according to Yun Qishen's investigation, the emergence of Zhixin Lake was not only caused by spiritual power, but also the pulling of spiritual power.
The Intimate Lake they saw was not the real Intimate Lake. Although it was the entity of the spell, this spell was just a clue.
The clues here are constantly moving in order to absorb spiritual energy and replenish the true inner lake.
It is said to be an intimate lake because people only see the surface, the illusion of a moving lake.
As for the true location of Zhixin Lake, Yun Qishen also thought of several possibilities. Everything can only be clarified after finding the next phantom.
Jiang Liu and the others quickly found the Zhixin Lake this time.
Seeing Yun Qishen checking around Zhixin Lake again, Jiang Liu really didn't understand.
"What exactly did you find?"
"Of course it's something interesting, pointing the way to the true inner lake."
Yun Qishen smiled proudly, and then pointed to a gap on the shore of Zhixin Lake.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Liu walked towards the gap and took a look. There was nothing special about the gap.
"This gap was towards the southwest of the forest before. After he moved again, we also came to the south of the forest, and the gap on the lakeshore became northwest. This gap is very small. It would be difficult for me to pay attention to such details unless I carefully observe." Yun Qishen drew a diagram on the ground. He replaced the forest and Zhixin Lake with very simple circles of different sizes, and used dots to indicate the location of the gap in Zhixin Lake.
"Just start from the center of the two lake phantoms and draw rays in the direction of the gap. The place where the two rays intersect is the true location of Zhixin Lake."
After Yun Qishen finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu looked surprised. Is this still the same Yun Qishen? Why are you so smart all of a sudden...
Jiang Liu's thoughts were peered into by Yun Qishen, who suddenly looked at him.
Please, you are already smart. Did you think that I was mentally retarded? ?
Yun Qishen's single eyebrow beat involuntarily.
The two then quickly arrived at the area where Yun Qishen believed the true Zhixin Lake existed.
But there are trees and fireflies all around, and there is no trace of water at all.
Jiang Liu doubted whether Yun Qishen had made a mistake, but the confident smile on Yun Qishen's face became even more obvious after seeing the fireflies.
"Jiang Liu, do you know the conditions for fireflies to survive?"
"Can't something like this survive as long as it has spiritual energy?"
"Not only that, fireflies also need fresh air and clear water to survive."
"You mean...but you see there is no water around."
"Jiang Liu, this is your perception. If you put aside this perception, I think you will see the real scene..."
After Yun Qishen finished speaking, he looked ahead and was a little surprised.
Jiang Liu was worried that he didn't see anything at all. Besides, Yun Qishen suddenly became motionless. When he opened his eyes wide, he saw something extraordinary, which made Jiang Liu even more concerned.
Abandon cognition...then abandon...
Thinking that there is clear water here, it is the real inner lake.
