How did I get here?

Jiang Jingjian let her pass?

Jiang Jingyuan's first reaction was that someone was going to attack her. Jiang Jingjian knew that she had been staying indoors and not seeing guests recently, so why would they just send someone to call her over?

Jiang Jingyuan thought about this and said decisively, "No."

"Yes." The palace maid left the hall.

However, after a moment, she hurried back into the hall and said, "Your Highness, that person said that the Second Prince's situation is urgent, and she wants to come into the hall to talk to you in person."

Jiang Jingyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he pondered for a moment with an expressionless face. He looked up at the palace maid and said calmly, "No."

The palace maid bowed politely, replied "yes" and walked out.

She retreated to the door, and just as she turned around, the heavy and magnificent palace door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a whistling wind suddenly rushed into the palace, blowing away the warm fragrance.

"you!!"

The palace maid was shocked.

Almost at the same time as the palace door opened, the girl in white clothes sitting at the table in the palace suddenly stood up and looked straight towards the palace door.

Countless candles illuminated a space in the dark night, separating the scenery inside and outside the hall.

A figure in white clothes swaying like flowers walked into the hall slowly.

The person who came in had a smile on his face, and his eyes showed neither sadness nor joy, but when he looked closely, he seemed to feel countless extremely strong emotions...

Their eyes met, as if fire met hot oil, igniting on contact.

"I see."

Jiang Jingyuan looked at the newcomer, his expression instantly calmed down, and he said, "Lead the way."

Under the night sky, two figures shuttled back and forth in the magnificent imperial palace, one in front and one behind. There were no words between them, and the silence gradually moved away from the brightly lit place like a ghost.

The night without lights is dark blue and quiet, like a dream. The vast and boundless pool of water is illuminated by the moonlight. When the wind blows, ripples appear in an instant.

The girl in white stood by the pool, looking at the scene in ecstasy, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Suddenly, her body trembled violently.

As if suddenly awakened from a dream, her pupils shrank, a string in her mind was stretched to the extreme, and the blood in her body was screaming -

"Why am I here?!!"

Jiang Jingyuan stood there frozen, motionless—

There is someone behind her!

That person stood quietly behind her without hiding his whereabouts.

Jiang Jingyuan remembered that she had seen that person in the palace, that person...

That person seemed to have said nothing, and even wore white clothes that did not conceal her identity. But when Jiang Jingyuan saw her, she knew that Jiang Jingjian...

What happened to Jiang Jingjian?

When she thought back now, she seemed to have no idea what had happened to Jiang Jingjian at the time. She was just filled with deep worry and anxiety in her heart for a moment.

Who was this person? Why was he in the palace? And why did he come specifically to see her?

The hand under her sleeve grasped the water-blue plum blossom sleeve arrow that appeared out of thin air. Jiang Jingyuan turned around suddenly, and the ice arrow flew out of her sleeve in an instant and shot straight at the person behind her.

The person behind him did not hide or avoid, his eyes showed no sadness or joy, but there was a strange smile at the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Jingyuan was caught off guard and saw her eyes. When their eyes met, Jiang Jingyuan's mind went blank in an instant.

It was quiet all around, and the coldness spread endlessly.

When Jiang Jingyuan came back to his senses, he saw a slowly flowing darkness before his eyes. Deep in the darkness, a touch of orange candlelight quietly lit up.

Jiang Jingyuan was stunned.

It took her a long time to react.

Did she enter Tianshui Pond again? After a moment's hesitation, Jiang Jingyuan quickly walked towards the candlelight.

Now that she was here, she decided to continue walking down. She was also planning to visit Tianshui Lake again.

No matter how many conspiracies and tricks there are, they have to wait until she leaves Tianshui Lake.

Jiang Jingyuan felt a chill on her face, as if she had passed through an invisible barrier. The first thing she saw was a courtyard covered in fiery red curtains. She stood firm and, without lingering in the courtyard, ran straight to the backyard.

Fortunately, there was no one else in the magic weapon killing realm this time.

Pushing open the door of the back room, Jiang Jingyuan saw a dazzling red. He closed the door with his backhand, walked around the screen and looked at the exquisite step-out bed not far away.

There was no one on the bed, or even in the house, but...

Behind the bed, on the wall covered with a fiery red curtain, there was a motionless shadow that was roughly human-shaped.

Jiang Jingyuan subconsciously walked towards the candlelight. In the blink of an eye, she saw a black shadow swaying in her peripheral vision. She glanced at it, raised her hand and pulled the plum blossom sleeve arrow. The water-colored arrow, as if made of ice, pierced through the black shadow's eyebrows.

"I can't beat her, but can I beat you?" Jiang Jingyuan complained silently.

The transparent water-colored jade ring on her left hand shone with ripples. She moved her fingertips, and invisible spiritual power leaped out from her fingertips, as if woven into an invisible long rope to pull the groom who had just climbed out of the coffin back into the black coffin.

Then, the black coffin seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, knocking down the exquisite screen with two "喜" characters on it, and crashing directly into the door of the house. The wooden door bounced and then stood firmly in place, with the black coffin firmly against the door.

It was only then that Jiang Jingyuan suddenly remembered the woman who had brought her to Tianshui Lake. She frowned slightly, recalling the strange look on that woman's face and the smile on her lips.

It was the woman she met in Tianshui Pond the first time she came out of the magic weapon killing realm!

Jiang Jingyuan felt a chill down his spine, and countless panicked questions flashed through his mind: "Why did she bring me here? Is she related to the magic weapon at the bottom of Tianshui Pond? No, it's impossible. She seems to be able to travel freely to various places. If this magic weapon has such power, it wouldn't have been left at the bottom of Tianshui Pond for so many years.

"But if it's not related to this magical weapon, why would this person come to me?"

The more Jiang Jingyuan thought about it, the more frightened he became: "You know, I had just traveled through time. Did that person know me that long ago?"

Jiang Jingyuan didn't believe that such a strange thing could happen by chance. She just felt like she had forgotten something...

It seemed like it happened a long time ago, before she traveled through time and space, something she had long forgotten.

I can’t remember… The indifference on Jiang Jingyuan’s face disappeared, and her brows were now furrowed together, revealing impatience and anxiety.

"If there is a chance, I still have to find a way to recover my previous memories." In the end, Jiang Jingyuan could only think like this. After all, she was still in this small world within the magic weapon killing realm.

With a light sigh, Jiang Jingyuan looked up at the exquisite candlestick not far away, and was about to continue walking towards that direction. After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped.

If she continued with her previous discoveries and process, wouldn't the result be the same as the first time? In the end, she was inexplicably teleported out of the killing zone...

But is she really willing to just leave like this and use this magical killing realm as a refuge or teleportation array from now on?

She has never been a competitive person. If she had to ask around for years and go through untold hardships and cross mountains and seas just to find a magic weapon, she would not do it.

But now, a magical weapon that can rival the teleportation array and even has other unknown abilities appears in front of her. Is she really going to just leave?

She doesn't fight or compete, but that doesn't mean she will willingly give up the opportunity that is right in front of her.

"Is seeing the bride's figure through the candlelight a trap?" Jiang Jingyuan asked in his heart.

She didn't know if this step was a trap deliberately left by the magic weapon, but she didn't want to take it for the time being.

——She already knew how to leave, so she could take a closer look at this house.

As for whether even this house was just a decoy, a trap? She couldn't be sure it wasn't, she just felt that it was more likely that the magic weapon itself was hidden in this house.

Jiang Jingyuan searched the house with his eyes while organizing his thoughts: "Every magic weapon has a different killing realm, and the methods of passing through the killing realm are also different, but most magic weapons choose to hide their main body within the killing realm. When facing such a killing realm, all you need to do is to get the magic weapon itself..."

Jiang Jingyuan's eyes darkened as he thought, "Another type of magical weapon will choose to leave its true form in the outside world. This type of magical weapon usually chooses to conceal its true form within the Killing Realm. So, when facing this type of magical weapon, besides gaining its recognition within the Killing Realm, the only option is to completely destroy the Killing Realm. Only then can the magical weapon itself be revealed."

After pondering for a while, Jiang Jingyuan still felt that the magic weapon itself was in this killing environment.

If it is the second type, the content of the magic weapon killing realm will mostly tend to be more inclined to test the strength of the challenger with strong lethality, or to test the challenger's brain with the puzzle type, and both types of killing realms are very suitable for getting rid of the newcomers... They can be used for offense or defense, and are very suitable regardless of whether the magic weapon is selective or conservative.

Jiang Jingyuan raised his eyes and looked around the fiery red house.

In her opinion, the killing realm's lethality and decryption capabilities were not strong...

Wait, that man in black I saw last time seemed to be destroying the killing zone. Did he hold back? Or...

He can't destroy this killing environment?

"If this killing realm is so difficult to penetrate, it seems quite suitable to serve as a 'shield' to protect the main body of the magic weapon?"

"No, it doesn't seem so. How could such a solid killing field be without the support of the magical instrument itself?"

Jiang Jingyuan's mind was full of thoughts, and he felt that his guesses were overturned one by one.

She was in a dilemma.

"Forget it, I'll just treat it as the artifact itself in the Killing Realm," Jiang Jingyuan finally thought. She couldn't stay here for too long. Regardless, she needed a more complete method to pass the level than before.

Jiang Jingyuan glanced back at the black coffin leaning against the door, then turned back to the projection behind the bed and began to think: "The groom's role is clear, which is to draw people into a fantasy the moment they meet his eyes. But what about the bride's role? Is it just to emphasize the presence of the incense burner? But it seems that the bride's presence is stronger than the groom's..."

“Will it be…?”

"The bride also had a vision or something?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Jingyuan's eyes moved, and he raised his foot and slowly took two steps towards the candlelight, then suddenly stopped.

——She had just subconsciously wanted to meet the bride's gaze and then enter the dreamland. But...

Just as she thought when she first came to this little world, no matter if it was intentional or not, anyone who came in here would subconsciously lift the veil when they saw the bride.

If the breakthrough point was so obvious, then this magic weapon would not have been at the bottom of Tianshui Lake for so long.

Jiang Jingyuan turned around and walked towards the bed.

She stood by the bed and cautiously reached out her hand to the position of the bride in her memory, however, her hand did not touch anything.

Jiang Jingyuan looked up at the projection on the wall, comparing it to the roughly simulated position of the bride, and then stretched out his hand and waved in that space, but still did not touch anything.

Jiang Jingyuan put down her hand and pondered for a while. Then she fixed her eyes, walked to the position where the bride should be, turned around and sat on the edge of the bed.
