An hour later, Yan Zhu closed the complete collection of formations and thought to himself, since there is a spirit-absorbing formation that can amplify spiritual power tenfold after absorbing spirits, then by analogy, is there a formation that can absorb foul air and condense it, or even purify it?
She pushed the door open while thinking. The sun was shining brightly. She looked around and found that although the yard was not as clean as Qingxuan's, it was surprisingly good for the three little ones.
"You three did a great job. What rewards do you want?"
Yanzhu sat on the swing under the tree. She leaned over and scooped up the breast that was rubbing against her skirt and placed it on her lap. It felt silky and soft. She then looked at Yanzhi and said, "Yanzhi?"
After saying that, Yanzhi blinked his big eyes and said crisply: "From now on, stop ordering my young master around and let me do it."
The child's every word was filled with thoughts of his young master. Yan Zhu smiled and said, "Okay."
Then he looked at Wu Jiu and asked, "What do you want?"
Wu Jiu's parrot voice said, "I want to learn a craft from Yi Cao Zhu. Master, please talk to Jiang Qi for me."
Yan Zhu was surprised. Could it be that Wu Jiu was hurt by yesterday's idle chat? She said, "Okay."
Mimi couldn't speak, so Yanzhu couldn't guess what it wanted, so she said, "Next time, use it twice and I'll give you a day off."
Mimi meowed comfortably to express her satisfaction.
Yan Zhu felt the unusual movement of the Phoenix Feather in the space. She flipped her hand, a red light flashed, and then she heard Jin Huang's slightly hoarse voice coming from the Phoenix Feather in her palm.
"Ayan, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Jinhuang."
Yan Zhu said cheerfully, frowning, "But why is your voice a little hoarse? Did you catch a cold?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of trembling laughter came from the other side, full of deep meaning: "You will know when you get married."
Yan Zhu suddenly understood and held her forehead, complaining that she was ignorant.
Jin Huang yawned and continued, "Speaking of which, I traveled to the demon world this time. Guess who I saw?"
Demon world?
Yan Zhu rolled her eyes. "Who else could it be? That unfaithful guy. If he were to live a miserable life, I'd be relieved."
Jin Huang's laughter was as clear and sweet as a silver bell. "It's not easy to be a son-in-law of the demon clan. Fortunately, he abandoned you back then, otherwise there would be no Qingxuan Little Divine Lord."
"Qingxuan and I are just friends,"
Yan Zhu's forehead twitched slightly as she explained, "He's taking care of Lone Realm for me as a way of repaying me. He'll leave once his cultivation recovers."
Another reason is that the pure spiritual spring of Qingxuan makes him have a sensitive physique that is easily attracted by turbid air. To a certain extent, it is safest for him to stay in a solitary place, so that the people around him will not be implicated.
However, this is Qingxuan's personal privacy, and she is not willing to tell others, even though Jinhuang has a very good relationship with her.
Jin Huang's teasing voice brought her back to her senses: "We're just friends now, but who knows what will happen in the future?"
Yan Zhu was annoyed: "You're teasing me again."
Jin Huang's laughter subsided a little over there: "I won't tease you anymore. I'm glad you're okay. I'm going to take a nap."
Yan Zhu said "hmm", then gently clenched her palm and took back the Phoenix Feather. Then she heard footsteps outside the door, but no one pushed the door open.
She opened the door holding the cat, looking surprised: "Qingxuan? Didn't you go back?"
"Solved."
Qingxuan smiled gently and stepped into the room. Yanzhu glanced at the Scorpio Grass Powder who had disappeared at some point. She was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyes, turned around and closed the door. She looked at the back and the shadow in the afternoon sunlight with a normal expression.
Finally he came, she wanted to see who he was. She was frightened before because of the unknown, but now that she saw the real person, fear had already overwhelmed her fear.
Yan Zhu's face remained expressionless, and her hands buried in her sleeves had already been clenched into fists.
She waved her hand to take Wujiu back first.
When Mimi in the yard saw the visitor, her pupils shrank into a vertical line, and she let out a roar, her back arched, and her hair stood on end. Yan Zhu hurried forward, bent down and picked up the cat before it could get angry, and stroked its head: "This child, he got angry just because he didn't have lunch."
Yan Zhu called out, "Take Mimi to the river behind the mountain to catch some fish."
Yanzhi turned into a human form, ran over, picked up Mimi, and was about to go out, but was blocked in front of the door by a barrier that suddenly appeared.
"No one can leave today."
Yan Zhu looked up at the man who was playing with the teacup in front of the stone table. He had a calm and gentle face and a lazy and unfocused look. With a light squeeze, the teacup in his hand turned into powder and fell onto the stone table.
Yanzhu frowned. She and Qingxuan bought that tea set in the human world, and she liked it very much.
"Come to kill me? And you won't show your true face. So, is it because you're ugly?"
The man looked at Yan Zhu with a pair of black pupils, then suddenly covered his face and smiled. As his eyes moved, white demonic power enveloped his body. In the blink of an eye, he had the appearance of a woman, extremely charming and alluring. His laughter was like a string, captivating and charming, especially the silver hairpin in his hair, which was sparkling and almost dazzled Yan Zhu's eyes.
"Ugly?"
"It's so boring that you found out so quickly."
Yan Zhu laughed: "It's hard to paint the bones than the skin."
Qingxuan's expression was gentle and calm from beginning to end, not so alluring.
Unexpectedly, the other party laughed: "From what you said, you are very familiar with that man? But are you really familiar with him? Men's words are lies, don't believe them."
The woman's words had hidden meaning, but Yanzhu turned a deaf ear to her. She looked at Yanzhi, who immediately ran into the house holding Mimi in his arms.
Yanzhu withdrew her gaze and sat on the swing beside her.
"Were you playing tricks last night too?"
Where is the Mirror Ghost? Could it be that this woman is carrying a broken mirror?
Wait, that silver hairpin that shimmers with broken light...
"That's clever."
The woman noticed Yan Zhu's gaze, stood up, and slowly approached Yan Zhu with admiration in her eyes. "She's naturally beautiful, pure and lively. Although not as good as me, she's a rare beauty. I'm a little hesitant to take action."
Yan Zhu's expression turned cold, and Hei Ling appeared from behind her and forced the charming woman back. After the two of them distanced themselves from each other, Hei Ling disappeared.
Just now, while she was thinking about the formation in Qingxuan House, she was trying to control the black silk in her natural state. However, each time it took only a moment and could not last for a moment.
Yan Zhu didn't miss the purple-red light in the woman's eyes. Even if she hadn't eaten pork, she had seen pigs run. She asked, "Are you a fox demon? The Nine-tailed Flower in the Hundred Flowers Palace is also you?"
This is a charm technique unique to fox demons.
"Smart. The first time, the Hundred Flowers Palace failed, and the second time, it was interrupted by that man. This time... are you scared?"
The fox demon crossed her arms and laughed, "I heard that although you are a God, your cultivation is only at the Golden Core stage, and you have been unable to form a pill. In our demon world, that would be laughable. I wonder what kind of powerful method you have to break the rules and become a God?"
Yan Zhu: "You came to kill me, why didn't you investigate thoroughly?"
The fox demon remained silent. The man only told her that the target's cultivation was weak, and she just needed to cooperate with the Jingyuan Ghost to allow it to possess her successfully.
Thinking of her people still in that person's hands...
Yan Zhu saw the fox demon's expression turn cold, and his ten fingernails were as sharp as blades. When his demonic power increased, he pulled out the silver hairpin, flicked his sleeves and threw it towards Yan Zhu.
The silver hairpin flashed a dark light, it was Jingyuan Ghost!
At the moment when the sunlight was reflected by the mirror in the air, Yan Zhu captured more than a thousand images in the rapidly rotating broken mirror. The people in the images were their joys, sorrows, anger and happiness. They were all herself from childhood to adulthood. Some of the images even had the figure of an old woman.
There was no time to take a closer look, as he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his sea of consciousness, and the pain of being pulled and torn by a big hand swept through his head. Yan Zhu knelt on one knee and held his head to endure it. As he frowned, Qingxuan's words flashed through his mind: the ability of the Jingyuan ghost is to steal the sea of consciousness.
The sky suddenly darkened and Yanzhu had a headache. Her sea of consciousness began to be altered and Wujiu and Heisha lost contact immediately.
Yan Zhu endured the pain, twitched the corners of her mouth, and raised her eyes to meet the fox demon's gaze. The latter said, "Huh?" and said, "Your sea of consciousness is vast and boundless, wider than that of ordinary people, but it's only a matter of time before it is stolen by the Mirror Abyss Ghost."
"When your entire sea of consciousness is led to the Broken Mirror, no one will be able to save you. Only if someone interrupts the Mirror Abyss Ghost's spell and enters the Broken Mirror for you can you break the deadlock." The fox demon chuckled.
Yan Zhu took a deep breath, and suddenly a strange and sinister voice came to her mind: "You fox girl, don't say anything more."
"Why, what are you afraid of someone who hasn't formed a pill yet?"
The fox demon snorted softly, feeling confident of victory. She admired Yan Zhu's painful yet stubborn expression, watching the show with a mischievous look on her face. "I actually hope that Qing Xuan can get out of this quickly. I'll see if he's willing to sacrifice himself to save you."
"Fox girl! Don't reveal the plan!"
Jingyuan Ghost issued a sharp warning, but the fox girl was rebellious, and the two of them started arguing.
When no one was paying attention to Yanzhu, she took advantage of the fact that she still had control of her body, hooked her slender white index finger hard, and held the jade pendant around her neck in her palm.
She met the fox demon's puzzled gaze, frowned and forced a smile, then used up her last bit of strength to wrap the jade pendant with the remaining spiritual power of the spiritual spring, and smashed it at the fox demon at lightning speed.
"A trapped beast struggles in vain."
The fox demon snorted contemptuously and waved his sleeves to fight back. The moment their spiritual powers collided, layers of spiritual sounds were evoked, and the jade pendant shattered in mid-air.
Seeing this, Yan Zhu smiled meaningfully, until her sea of consciousness was completely replaced by the ghost of Jingyuan, and her body lost control and fell into the illusion of the mirror...
Before that, she seemed to hear Qingxuan's voice in her ears.
"Yanzhu!"
When the jade pendant shattered, the fleeting pressure made the fox demon look terrified, and at the same time, the curse of the Mirror Abyss Ghost was heard from the broken mirror.
"Xuanming True Water?! She was just trying to provoke you, and you fell for it! You piece of shit!"
"Hmph, you're quick and decisive!"
The fox demon's expression turned cold. The moment the Xuanming True Water appeared, a terrifying pressure disappeared in an instant, but she had no time to stop.
Before Qingxuan landed on the ground, the yarrow bead had already whizzed down through the air with the mind of its owner, forming a pale purple spiritual shield above Yanzhu's body, forcing back the fox demon that was about to commit a crime. He bit his index finger, drew a talisman with blood, and instantly entered the broken mirror after landing.
The fox demon looked shocked after vomiting blood. He knew it was impossible to do it, but he still did it.
Then he smiled slyly, "Then you can only keep one."
——
In the broken mirror, Yanzhu looked around at the familiar surroundings. It was the place where her mother and she lived when she was a child. It was old but clean.
When Ah Niang saw her, a kind smile appeared on her face, but then she suddenly looked worried: "Girl, why is there blood on your clothes?"
Yan Zhu raised her hand, but she didn't know it, and then she heard a familiar arrogant voice behind her.
Si You held a straw whip in his hand and pointed at her, "You're running here? You think we can't find you?"
Before A Niang left, she and Si You had never met before.
Yan Zhu lowered her eyes, guessing that the time and space in the illusion were disordered. She tried to summon Hei Ling, but it was unexpectedly easy.
And she found that in the illusion, she could freely control Hei Ling without having to switch to the second form.
In the illusion, Yan Zhu didn't want to see the people coming, so she held the black silk in her hand and slashed at Si You and others.
The latter disappeared with the wind, and A-niang beside her acted as if she hadn't seen it. With a kind face, she urged her to have dinner quickly. Touching the top of her head, she said, "After dinner, my little girl will be married."
"?" Yanzhu choked on a mouthful of rice.
