"Before the advance team entered the city, they smelled bursts of burning stench in the distance. The Shuangyue City that used to stand in the vast wilderness of the north is now completely in ruins. As far as the eye can see, everywhere is destroyed by fire. There are ruins and ruins, and in some places the fire has not stopped.
Someone happened to glance at the southeast corner of the city wall that had been scorched black, and suddenly couldn't help but exclaimed, "Senior Brother Feng! That is..."
Feng Yuji looked intently, and suddenly he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. There were more than a dozen corpses hanging upside down from iron hooks on the city wall. They all looked ferocious, thinking that they must be tortured before they die.
"It's the family of the city lord of Shuangyue City. Their wrists and necks were cut, and their blood was drained to death." A Kunlun disciple withdrew his consciousness and said solemnly, "Senior Brother, what should we do now... Senior Brother?"
Feng Yuji's face was frightening at this moment. This senior brother, who had always been calm and calm, as bright as the moon, now had all the blood on his face, but his eyes seemed to be burning, and the hands in his sleeves were already tightly clenched. He seemed to be trying his best to restrain something.
——Yes, the disciple suddenly realized that the city lord of Shuangyue City was not Senior Brother Feng’s in-laws? "
——"The Evil Disciple·Mo Ci Wind and Rain Chapter"
Rong Tong closed his plot notebook, silently raised his head, and saw the towering city wall in front of him. The words "Two Moon City" at the top of the city had just been repainted with red paint, and they were bright and bright in the sun.
This early in the morning, when the city gates were just opened, people coming and going were carrying goods and pushing carts to make a living. The smell of spices was wafting in the cold morning wind, and the smell of spices came from several stalls selling goods at the corners of the city wall. Early hawker.
"Is the timeline mixed up? It shouldn't be!" For a moment, such doubts flashed through her mind.
At this time, Baoqin handed over a bowl of steaming mutton soup, "Want some?"
The owner of the mutton soup seller was standing behind them, looking at her thin-skinned and tender hands holding the side of the hot bowl across a large pot on a pile of firewood, dumbfounded, but it seemed as if he couldn't feel the temperature at all.
Rong Tong smelled the mutton soup with her hand, and the salty and pungent aroma rushed to his forehead.
"Well, this smells good. It really makes people feel better when they smell it!"
"I'm afraid your cloud-sickness is unique to the cultivation world."
Rong Tong's "motion sickness" career started from the moment he left Kunlun. Although the cloud car at Ziguang's mother's house looked luxurious, there was no comfort inside, and the space was narrow and the stability was poor. The air flow was as bumpy as a roller coaster.
Not to mention that they first went south and then all the way north. If it weren't for the rush of time and the hidden multiplier in the car to help them hide their tracks, Rong Tong would have wanted to abandon the old car and fly away on his own several times.
"Hey, don't accuse me wrongly. I didn't have this problem before. It's your ex-girlfriend!" Rong Tong rubbed his hands and was about to take the porcelain bowl, but Huaqin took his hand back.
"You can only smell it, not drink it."
Rong Tong was startled, then slowly withdrew his hand, "What's the problem?"
"There are problems everywhere."
While Bao Qin was talking, he accidentally spilled the bowl of mutton soup. The porcelain bowl fell to his feet and broke into several pieces. The movement attracted the attention of many people around him.
The stall owner behind was turned blue, "This girl!" He wiped the mutton fat on his hands with his bib and hurriedly walked around the big pot. He was so angry that he tried to argue with Bao Qin, "If the soup is not cooked properly. You can just say what you like, but at most I won’t be short of your money! How can you come up and try to ruin people’s business like this?!”
"You are from the Tianming Society. I want to take you to see the city lord."
Baoqin gave this seemingly ordinary and simple vendor a terrifying identity in a straightforward manner.
The angry expression on the stall owner's face was indeed stuck, and Rong Tong was secretly shocked that this small Shuangyue City was so crouching tiger, hidden dragon, did it have to be a fight at the beginning?
Unexpectedly, the owner of the stall looked dull for a few moments, then suddenly turned around and walked slowly back to the big pot to stir the mutton soup.
"Oh, Tianminghui. I've heard that there's a lot of trouble in the northeast. Aren't the immortals from Kunlun going there to encircle and suppress you every now and then? But we're not afraid. We can't invade the north. Besides, our city lord will definitely protect both sides. It’s from Yuecheng!”
Where is this going? Brother, do you really understand what she is saying?
Baoqin didn't care and continued to say to him, "The word "Tao" means 'man follows the earth, earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and Tao follows nature'. What's the next sentence?"
Rong Tong looked at Baoqin blankly.
The stall owner slowly stirred the mutton soup. He was silent for a long time, and then slowly said, "Ah... cumin, that's for roasting mutton. This is the soup."
Baoqin gave Rong Tong a look and said, "Ask him a few more questions and you'll almost know."
"……what?"
"The more outrageous the better, preferably something that has never happened in his life and that he has no cognitive concept of."
Rong Tong looked at the stall owner with a normal expression, his brows gradually furrowed, and recalling the illogical exchange just now, he suddenly caught something in his mind.
She took a step forward, "Boss, let me tell you something-"
"Hey, guest, tell me!" The boss looked up, as enthusiastic as if nothing had happened.
"Well, let me think about it...oh, the nature of inaction is self-rounding, and the formless form is wonderful. The wonders are endless, hidden and unpredictable; the nature of roundness is that wisdom shines in all directions, and the spiritual power is unbreakable -"
This sentence is excerpted from the seemingly mysterious and mysterious book "The Mystical Way of the Mysterious Spirit". It teaches monks how to teach people how to practice Qi and transform into gods. Is it outrageous to recite it to a hawker who has no idea about cultivation?
However, this magical stall owner continued, "The apricots in the south of the city are quite round. If you are afraid that they will break and fall out when you put them in your pocket, you should find a sturdy basket to put them in!"
Rong Tong heard this and said nothing, but turned around and left, randomly intercepting an old man who happened to be passing by behind him pushing a coal cart and was about to enter the city.
"Uncle, let me ask you something. Do you think the Mayan civilization is an alien civilization? Has the United States ever landed on the moon?"
The old man was suddenly blocked by a stranger, and he was still a little confused. After hearing the question, his face slowly became dull, "...the nearest moon in the north is always a full moon. To see the stars, the best time is when it is a quarter moon... "
Rong Tong let him go, and repeated his old tricks to grab a little girl selling needlework with a bamboo basket, "Little sister, I want to know the details of the annihilation of the Uchiha clan. Did Itachi Uchiha annihilate the clan alone? Or did Itachi join forces with Danzo? ?Or unite with Obito?"
"I only have needles and thread here. I'm not a flower seller, and I don't bring any soil." The little girl answered seriously and clearly.
"..."
"All their answers to you are taken from their past memories and experiences." Baoqin said from behind her, "But people are alive, but they are not, so once you ask about something beyond their past knowledge, , there will be a situation like now where the donkey's lips are not in line with the horse's mouth."
"I feel it." Rong Tong looked around. Everyone was clearly lifelike, and even his mental power could not detect anything unusual.
"...Just like a web crawler." She murmured.
"What?"
"It is a technology that can automatically capture key information from an information database according to certain rules, and then glue it into a paragraph. My original world information database mainly came from the World Wide Web, including text, graphics, video, audio, etc. The level of information covered is far beyond the life experience of an ordinary person in the cultivation world. In order to save costs, many professional Q&A websites often use this program to pretend to be real experts..."
Baoqin listened silently. She was used to seeing a glimpse of another world with a completely different civilization from Rong Tong's words. She was also used to hearing all kinds of things that she couldn't understand for a while.
Rong Tong was in a daze for a moment, "So... what do you think is going on in this Twin Moon City?"
"I'm not sure about the specifics. All this is what my eyes tell me. Without this talent, we might not be able to detect the abnormality." Baoqin walked to her side.
Rong Tong looked up at the three-character plaque "Two Moon City" on the city wall, "Well, I have a guess -"
She said quietly, "Have you heard of Wanhua Mirror?"
"No."
"That's right," Rong Tong sighed, "This is the culmination of thousands of years of cultivation of the Kunlun weapon. Even before the Xinyou Incident, its specific principles and research and development information should have been one of the core secrets of the Construction Hall."
She was able to understand something, but she thought it was unintentional at first, but now that she thinks about it, it may be someone's push. At that time, she originally pushed open the small room that once belonged to Lian Chao at the end of the second floor of Langhuan Pavilion. There was indeed a lot of "good stuff" in the world of cultivation hidden in it. Since it could not be borrowed or reproduced, she could only Being able to come and go regularly, Zhang Wei, the guy wearing a librarian vest, compiled a book list for her in the name of a "professional". She originally thought that there were not many texts that even a "foundation-building disciple" could access. It was no big deal, so she looked down calmly, and slowly discovered some contents that seemed a bit serious... It was just that she was new to Kunlun at that time, and she didn't know enough about Kunlun, and she didn't have a clear understanding of the important concepts. Before he really became suspicious, Zhang Wei had already taken the initiative to "expose" himself.
"The Wanhua Mirror is a concept of a magic weapon involving space and dimensions. The specific principle is too complicated, and I can't explain it completely. The Construction Hall of that year roughly divided the Wanhua Mirror into four categories, one is the earth mirror, and the other is the earth mirror. It is a projection of the past; the second type of longevity mirror is an upgraded version of the post-earth mirror, which can reconstruct the past and reverse the future; the third type of upper palace mirror can allow living people to enter a second-level dimension, similar to the way that allows living people to enter a second-level dimension. Storage bags for survival; four types of crape myrtle mirrors..."
Her heart was beating a little fast, "It's just a concept and idea. I hope to break through the limitations of heaven and earth and connect horizontally to... other worlds of the same level."
It's a pity that she had not given up on searching for all the information about Ziwei Mirror. After piecing together countless confidential documents, she finally had to recognize the reality. From theory to implementation is often a very long process, even in the world of cultivation. The pinnacle of instrument technology, the extent of exploration of the concept of "space-time" is only as far away as the distance between humans on Earth's understanding of the speed of light and the birth of super-light spacecraft.
But even if it was the first time he heard about this kind of creation that might subvert the times, Baoqin always seemed to get to the point directly - "So, do you think this Twin Moon City is actually a projection of the Houtu Mirror?"
"It's probably a low-end version of Hou Tujing." Under Baoqin's guidance, Rong Tong quickly retracted his thoughts, "Grab the past information of this city and reconstruct the scene, and it can also communicate with the current people. However, the algorithm is too simple and can easily reveal its flaws."
"So there are two questions now. First, the Wanhua Mirror represents Kunlun's most sophisticated technology. Who could place it in Shuangyue City without authorization?"
"Second, since the scene we see is a projection of the past, what does this city look like now?"
Ruins, broken walls destroyed by fire, bodies hanging upside down... Shocking black and white words flashed through her mind. She closed her eyes and exhaled slowly, "There must be a core brain in the Class I and II Wanhua Mirrors to run the algorithm. We need to find it in order to know the truth... and save people!"
Baoqin's face was pale, and she did not follow Rong Tong's thoughts. She remained absolutely awake and dissociated at all times.
"If it is according to what you said, the Shuangyue City incident may involve a lot of things. Don't forget why you left Kunlun. If you give up and return to the south, I won't stop you, because you said that once you leave Junzhou, there will be murder all the way. , I agree with your statement. But now various signs let me judge that you are jumping into another fire pit!"
Rong Tong turned around to look at her. The person holding Qin did not express any clear objection to her sudden change of heart and heading north. Now it seemed that what was supposed to come was still coming.
"You want to stop me?"
"I always make ensuring your safety my top priority." Baoqin raised his eyes, "So, give me a reason."
Rong Tong was silent for a moment. She knew that she had never shown any compassion or the noble spirit of sacrificing herself for others. It coincides with Bao Qin who always puts his own lady's life first. In the past year since she traveled through time and came to the cultivation world, all her actions, whether they were conservative or temporary risks, were all unworthy of praise in the final analysis and were nothing more than self-interest. And this time she came to Shuangyue City rashly, it seemed that she was completely deviating from her previous behavior. On the premise that safety is above all else, Baoqin will certainly not follow her temper.
But if she could come up with two or three "last resort" reasons now... Although it would test her logical self-consistency, she has always been good at this, hasn't she?
"...No reason," she said, repeating softly, "I have no reason this time."
"So, are you going to stop me?"
Then she saw her maid slowly making the gesture of forming a seal.
"Perhaps, you can tell me what you think first. You have always been very rational." Baoqin still said calmly, "You will never act without asking the reason. This is not like you."
"I don't even know what kind of person I am." Rong Tong smiled bitterly, "Actually, I thought about it a lot. From the day I left Kunlun when I learned about the changes in Shuangyue City, I have been thinking about it until now. The emotions are too complicated, whether they are guilt, self-blame or intolerance. They have been with you before, sat on the roof and ate candies together, watched fireworks together, they are living people..."
And you hold the foreshadowing of their future destiny in your hand, but do nothing to watch them walk into their determined destiny, and now their life or death is uncertain. Sometimes she felt like she was passively committing murder.
"Why didn't I change anything? Was I misled? Did I make a wrong judgment?" Rong Tong closed his eyes, "In the final analysis...it's just apathy that is greedy for life and afraid of death."
Bao Qin shook his head, "The moment life is born, all the time is spent trying to survive. Friendship, family affection, love, in the final analysis, are all connections between people for interdependence. Over millions of years The so-called 'morality' and 'conscience' are condensed, but we must always grasp the right balance and don't put the cart before the horse."
"Maybe you are the real 'reason'. I am not at your level yet. I cannot do whatever it takes to survive. I will occasionally be swayed by some useless emotions that you think are boring... Can't talk about it. Morality or conscience is just a hurdle in the heart that cannot be overcome."
Rong Tong breathed out slowly and forced a smile. She tried to soften her words first, "Okay, I know you will object. At worst, you don't have to come to help me, even if you just leave and go somewhere else to wait for me to finish. That’s okay too. There’s no need to get into this level of trouble between you and me.”
After all, they signed a soul contract, and they could not violate their master's will and defend their life and safety to the death. These two iron laws could not be violated. Baoqin couldn't attack her. If it came to the point of taking action, she, the maid, would probably be the one who died before leaving the battle.
"Follow your will and protect your life. Obviously the latter is higher than the former. When the two conflict, you must make some adjustments." The moment Baoqin made the first gesture, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and at the same time The spiritual force field around them quietly changed, "I will probably be able to complete the seal on you before the soul contract's punishment on me ends. I will unseal it after the dust settles. Time can extinguish all impulses."
Rong Tong was speechless. It was unexpected. She knew that her maid was a cruel person, but she was so cruel, so cruel!
"Stop!" She realized the seriousness of the matter, and quickly took out her protective shield while loudly trying to stop the other party's internal strife, "You are now guilty of the following! Don't you even think about yourself? Have you ever thought about it? How will you handle yourself after I wake up?"
"I said, your safety is the first priority." The gesture of holding Qin's seal became faster and faster, and at the same time, more and more blood flowed out of her seven orifices.
"The situation in Shuangyue City is unknown. Are you sure you want to attack me at the gate?!" As he spoke, Rong Tong's protective shield had already been formed.
However, in an instant, she heard something tinkling and breaking, and a bloody voice in the wind sounded calmly next to her ear, "So I will be quick."
Rong Tong's pupils tightened. The victories in the previous battles almost made her forget the abyss of gap between realms in this world. Against a truly strong person, she could only be killed instantly!
The eight extraordinary meridians were blocked one by one when someone broke through the defense line. She only felt that her energy and blood could not be sustained, her eyes turned black, and her five senses began to leave her. Then her legs became weak and it was difficult to stand. She relied on hugging. Qin supported her from behind, but it was more like intimidation. She faintly heard a cough in her ears, and the soul contract punishment that came back to Baoqin was far more serious than this attack.
"...slow...wait..."
She moved her lips with difficulty, "Someone...is coming..."
"Be patient and have a good sleep. You will be safe in your dreams." Baoqin turned a deaf ear.
"Really... spiritual consciousness... go and... explore it yourself..."
After about a few breaths, she finally felt the force exerted on her arbitrarily, forcing her to sleep, and began to slow down.
Then in the next moment, her body lightened up, and the heavy blockade disappeared. She was caught off guard and almost fell to her knees on the ground.
Baoqin had already stepped out at least ten meters away, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with a rather unsightly expression.
"Ahem... Hurry... Act like nothing has happened and walk around casually. Don't be found to be any different from the projection of this Wanhua Mirror." Rong Tong climbed up in embarrassment and reminded while patting his trouser legs.
"You've already made up your mind..." Baoqin looked at her with a complicated expression.
Rong Tong touched his lips lightly with his index finger, and the next moment, surging spiritual pressure flowed from the distance.
The Wanhua Mirror is used to deal with the illusion that some people see, and of course this "certain people" are not the two of them who suddenly killed each other.
"Kunlun Military Headquarters is here to apprehend the defecting disciples——"
Fluorescence suddenly fell from the sky like meteors, and Kunlun Inner Sect monks wearing silver-white armor lined up in the sky above Shuangyue City.
