Chapter 45 Chapter 45 (Revised) Entering the Fantasy World
Jiang Zhaoxue and Pei Zichen disappeared from sight again, and Shen Yuqing hurriedly stood up and tried to chase them.
However, the world around them began to spin, and space began to shatter. Mu Jinyue hurriedly ran to Shen Yuqing's side with the Time-Seeking Mirror, grabbed him and said, "Master, we can't chase you anymore. You've used too much power, and the Time-Seeking Mirror can no longer support us. We must go back!"
"But your master's wife..."
"Master's wife will be fine!" Mu Jinyue pulled him tightly as he fell into the time gap, and reminded him urgently, "Senior Brother is here, Master's wife will be fine!"
Hearing this, Shen Yuqing froze.
He realized in an instant that he actually knew that nothing would happen to Pei Zichen as long as she was with him.
As long as there is someone by her side who can buy time for her, she will be fine.
She doesn't have to be with him.
But because he knew he was afraid just now, he didn't know what he was afraid of, nor did he want to know.
The moment he fell into reality from the time-seeking mirror, he immediately said, "Open it again! I want to go back!"
"Yuqing."
As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of the Gujun Patriarch rang out, calmly saying, "The Nine Nether Realm barrier has completely shattered. You must first go to the Cangming Sea to quell the rebellion and search for the Tracing Light Mirror. We will discuss this later."
Shen Yuqing looked slightly stern when he heard this.
One year back then is equivalent to one day now.
They went back four years, which was equivalent to four days.
What happened in the past four days? The Nine Netherworld barrier was completely shattered?!
The vast sea...
Thinking of the surface of Cangming Sea dyed red by blood two hundred years ago, Shen Yuqing didn't have time to think about it and looked back at the Xunshi Mirror.
He hesitated for a moment, then turned around and told Mu Jinyue, "Recover first and wait for me to come back."
It's just a few years, it doesn't matter.
He has two hundred years.
He told himself.
He and Jiang Zhaoxue have been inseparable for two hundred years.
*** ***
Jiang Zhaoxue fell all the way down from the darkness, feeling the sound of surging tides all around him.
When she woke up again, she opened her eyes and saw a faint light coming in. Then she heard loud bangs outside the door. A girl's voice said anxiously, "Miss Jiang, Miss Jiang, are you awake?"
Jiang Zhaoxue was slightly stunned and stretched out his hand in disbelief.
Her eyes are healed?!
"Where is this?" Anan asked in confusion. Jiang Zhaoxue looked around.
This is a decoration style that is completely different from that of the capital. The capital is solemn and mostly uses solid wood such as golden nanmu. This room has a lot of bamboo woven things, a gable roof, and bamboo leaves swaying outside the window, which seems to be the style of Shuzhong.
She came to Shuzhong?
Where's Pei Zichen? Where's the others?
Is this an illusion or something else?
While Jiang Zhaoxue was puzzled, she heard the girl outside say anxiously, "Miss Jiang, are you okay? If you don't say anything, I'm going to break the door."
Jiang Zhaoxue raised her eyes obediently, and heard a loud "bang". The door was knocked open by a sword. Then she saw the girl raised her head coldly, and met Jiang Zhaoxue who was lying on the bed with a confused look on her face.
Jiang Zhaoxue stared at the girl blankly. She was obviously much younger, probably about sixteen or seventeen years old. Even though her cat-like eyes were cold, they also seemed to be smiling.
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at her with some confusion and said hesitantly: "Qian Sisi?"
"Miss Jiang?" Qian Sisi looked at Jiang Zhaoxue curiously, "What's wrong with you?"
"I……"
Jiang Zhaoxue's mind raced as he thought about the scene before he fell into a coma.
Qian Sisi fled with Song Wuya, and Ye Tianjiao followed suit. Shen Yuqing drew his sword, probably summoning the Time Mirror...
So here is...
"Could this be Qian Sisi's past?" Anan blurted out.
Jiang Zhaoxue pondered Anan's words.
At present, any one of the artifacts combined with one of the mirrors of the Time-Seeking Mirror or the Light-Tracing Mirror can reverse time and space. The Lingxu Fan is with Song Wuya. If Qian Sisi opened the Lingxu Fan when she escaped, it would not be surprising that they have returned to Qian Sisi's past now.
But the problem is that she had sealed the Lingxu fan in advance when she was in the Heavenly Prison, and no one except her was allowed to officially open it. In this case, the Lingxu fan could not have such a great power to reverse time and space, so this place was definitely not the past.
If it is not the past, then this place can only be Qian Sisi's memory, or her illusion.
She must have some secret method to open the Lingxu Fan. When she left, she tried to open the Lingxu Fan, but failed. However, she gained some of the power of the Lingxu Fan, which pulled her into her own memory or illusion.
What about Pei Zichen? What about Ye Tianjiao and Song Wuya who left with Qian Sisi?
Jiang Zhaoxue had so many questions in her mind that she didn't know how to start. Qian Sisi looked at her carefully and approached her cautiously, "Miss Jiang...you...didn't you hit your brain?"
Jiang Zhaoxue paused and immediately realized that his identity must have been caused by a blow to his head before he woke up.
She immediately looked at Qian Sisi blankly and asked tentatively, "What's broken?"
Qian Sisi took a breath and asked hurriedly: "Do you still remember who you are?"
"I don't remember."
"Do you remember who I am?"
"Except for the name Qian Sisi, I don't remember it."
"Then..." Qian Sisi became more and more nervous as she listened, "Do you still remember my brother?"
"Who?" Jiang Zhaoxue was really confused this time. "Who are you, my senior brother?"
Hearing this, Qian Sisi was horrified: "It's over! I'm in big trouble! Miss Jiang, wait here and don't move."
Qian Sisi said as she raised her hand to set up a barrier. Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned when she saw Qian Sisi turn around and run out. Jiang Zhaoxue stared at the barrier, pondered for a moment, raised her eyes to look at the door, crossed her arms in front of her, and laughed angrily: "She knows magic?"
"It's okay, actually," Anan comforted her, "at least the name is real."
"Oh."
Jiang Zhaoxue was too lazy to curse anymore, so she stood up and went to the mirror. She looked in the mirror and found that her face was no different from her own.
I checked the birthmark on the inside of my arm and confirmed that it was my own body.
So is she a soul or a body?
Jiang Zhaoxu was thinking for a while, and then he heard Qian Sisi's voice from outside: "Hurry, it's inside."
As he spoke, Qian Sisi rushed in with a large group of people.
These people were all dressed similarly to Qian Sisi, in white tights, with blue braided hemp ropes tied around their waists. They all held long swords in their hands, and were obviously a group of sword practitioners. They all looked at Jiang Zhaoxue nervously.
Jiang Zhaoxue stood up from the mirror and looked at the group of sword cultivators warily.
Qian Sisi took one look at her expression and immediately said, "See? I told you you had a brain accident. Miss Jiang is such a gentle person, how could she look at me like that?"
"It's normal for her to look at you like that," one of the disciples reminded him, "You were the one who threw the stone that knocked her unconscious."
Qian Sisi froze for a moment, then immediately said, "What should we do? She doesn't remember anything now. Senior Brother handed her over to us. If we come back and see her like this, we'll all die!"
After hearing this, everyone felt a little guilty.
Then one of them said, "Well, Brother has such a good temper, it shouldn't be..."
"You don't know him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone spoke at once. Jiang Zhaoxue looked around at them, wondering who this senior brother they were talking about was. At the same time, he also observed the crowd to see if there was anyone familiar among them.
She looked around and saw that Pei Zichen, Ye Tianjiao, and Song Wuya were not inside. She finally said, "Is there anyone who can come forward and tell me what's going on?"
When asked this question, everyone looked at each other, and after a moment, they all looked at Qian Sisi.
Qian Sisi coughed lightly and could only take Jiang Zhaoxue to the lobby. A dozen disciples surrounded them, served them good tea, fruits, vegetables and melon seeds, and began to listen to Qian Sisi introduce the situation to her.
Jiang Zhaoxue listened for a while and had an idea in his mind.
Her name is Jiang Xue. She is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, a sect in Shu, and is also a fortune teller.
Qian Sisi is now eighteen years old. When she met Qian Sisi, she was twenty-four years old, which was six years ago.
This is Shuzhong, and they are a small sect in Shuzhong called Wenjian Villa.
Their leader is an old man who loves drinking and travels around all year round without a trace, so the sect has been managed by the seventeen-year-old eldest brother Shen Chen since five years ago.
When Chen Chen took over Wenjian Villa, it was so dilapidated that the plaque was almost falling off, so Chen Chen had no choice but to start making money. His entire youth was spent on making money, raising children, repairing houses, and promoting the sect.
After finally getting Wenjian Villa back on track, he could finally consider his own marriage.
"You and my senior brother were engaged when we were young," Qian Sisi said solemnly to Jiang Zhaoxue. "Back then, the Jiang family and Wenjian Villa were almost equal. Later, Wenjian Villa declined day by day, while the Jiang family prospered, but this did not change your relationship. Although my senior brother and you have not met often, you have maintained a regular correspondence with the support of your elders. The past few years were the most difficult years in my senior brother's life. It was you who persevered and encouraged him, even selling your jewelry to support him, which allowed my senior brother to get by. Therefore, the relationship between my senior brother and you is as deep as that of a couple, a love stronger than gold."
"Well, did he pay me back the jewelry I sold?"
Jiang Zhaoxue was curious about this.
Qian Sisi immediately said, "Of course I returned it! No matter how poor I am, I wouldn't use your jewelry. I returned it to you right then, but I remember your kindness. I've worked so hard over the years just to be worthy of you!"
"Oh," Jiang Zhaoxue nodded, "Then why am I here alone?"
"this……"
Everyone looked at each other, and Qian Sisi said truthfully, "We don't know either. Everyone guessed you were here to force a marriage."
"I'm forcing you to marry me?" Jiang Zhaoxue was a little surprised. "Don't your senior brother and I have a bond stronger than gold?"
"It's true that love is stronger than gold, but... the Jiang family is wealthy and powerful," Qian Sisi said rather tactfully. "Two years ago, after coming of age, my senior brother visited the head of the Jiang family. He immediately began saving money and postponed his wedding... When you heard that... you ran away that same night, hiding from the head of the Jiang family and following my senior brother. For the past few years, my senior brother sent you back, only for you to run away again, each time trying to commit suicide. Finally, the head of the Jiang family stopped caring, and my senior brother was left to take good care of you."
Jiang Zhaoxue understood after listening. Isn't this how she pursued Shen Yuqing when she was twenty years old?
She sneered and said, "That's a problem. Since your senior brother is just postponing his marriage and will marry me sooner or later, why do I have to come?"
"Maybe... you have a more lively personality?" Qian Sisi pondered. "Senior brother is rather old-fashioned. Before we got married, he only dared to write letters to you. And the letters had to be reviewed by the elders. But we don't have many elders here, and Patriarch Jiang is very generous and generally doesn't read them. But when it comes to love, he writes letters that the elders can read. Maybe you find that boring. Would you like to meet Senior brother?"
"Then I'm really sick."
Jiang Zhaoxue blurted out, feeling that this story revealed her strong sense of foolishness in her youth, and couldn't help asking: "You are not lying to me, are you?"
One fool is enough, how many more do you need?
Hearing this, everyone was a little horrified. Qian Sisi quickly stood up and comforted her, "Miss Jiang, please don't let your imagination run wild! You like our senior brother so much, and he likes you too! You just accidentally got hit by me when you arrived yesterday and lost your memory. We didn't lie to you. There is absolutely no problem with your relationship!"
"Okay, okay."
Jiang Zhaoxue was too lazy to talk to Qian Sisi. She just looked around and asked, "What about your senior brother? Where is he now?"
"Senior Brother has eliminated the demon." Qian Sisi explained, "A large demon suddenly appeared in Longshui Pond here recently and has been causing harm to the people. That's why Senior Brother postponed his wedding."
Jiang Zhaoxue was getting impatient. She had heard this kind of words countless times when she was with Shen Yuqing.
She used to be considerate, but later she gradually realized, why did it have to be Shen Yuqing?
With so many people in the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion, were they all dead? Shen Yuqing had to go for everything, so she realized that it wasn't that Shen Yuqing had to go, but that Shen Yuqing wanted to go.
Just like Chen Chen now, everyone is slacking off here, why is he the only one there?
If you really like someone, how can you not see them for several years?
It’s just that Chen Chen doesn’t care.
Maybe there is someone else I love.
But it was better this way. According to them, Chen Chen and Jiang Xue were about to get married, and it was impossible for her to get married with a stranger here. If Chen Chen's heart was not here, it would be easier for her to distance herself from him.
Jiang Zhaoxue sneered, making everyone feel nervous.
Everyone was silent when Qian Sisi's voice transmission jade token suddenly lit up. Seeing it, she said happily, "Senior Brother said that the big demons have been eliminated, and they are now hunting down the small demons that fled into the city! He asked us to meet at Zhuxia Town ahead tomorrow."
"That's fine, that's fine," everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and quickly said, "There's a famous doctor in Zhuxia Town. Let's send Miss Jiang there to see him."
As they spoke, everyone stared at Qian Sisi and warned her, "Sisi, you have to solve the trouble you caused yourself. Follow Miss Jiang well and don't cause trouble again!"
"knew."
Qian Sisi was helpless.
Jiang Zhaoxue glanced at her, and Qian Sisi immediately smiled apologetically: "Miss Jiang?"
When Jiang Zhaoxue saw her smiling face, he immediately remembered Qian Sisi's previous lie and couldn't help but snort loudly through his nose again.
Jiang Zhaoxue's hostility was obvious, but because it was Qian Sisi who hit the person, he could only stand there with a bitter face.
While guarding her, he also had to persuade her, trying to make her fall in love with Chen Chen again through descriptions.
But the Chen Chen she described was too familiar to Jiang Zhaoxue.
Behave properly, restrain yourself and return to propriety.
Born into a declining sect, he was a prodigy who brought up a group of fellow disciples. He was a prodigy of the Shu Immortal Path and the pride of the entire Wenjian Villa.
Each of these words describes a name - Shen Yuqing.
His last name is really Shen!
So with every extra word Qian Sisi said, Jiang Zhaoxue became more disgusted with this person she had never met before.
At night, Qian Sisi made a bed for herself on the floor beside him and said in a hoarse voice, "Really, Miss Jiang, believe me, Senior Brother is a really good person. He's just not good at talking. You'll definitely like him when you meet him."
"Okay," Jiang Zhaoxue closed her eyes, "go to sleep first."
"you……"
"Oh," Jiang Zhaoxue suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Qian Sisi, "Do you know many people?"
"Not bad," Qian Sisi said immediately after hearing Jiang Zhaoxue's question, "Miss Jiang, do you still remember me?"
"Remember a few names."
Jiang Zhaoxue pretended to think: "Hmm... do you know Song Wuya?"
"Yes."
Qian Sisi spoke decisively, and Jiang Zhaoxue's eyes immediately lit up. Just as she was about to ask, she heard Qian Sisi say, "Isn't this the Third Prince of Daxia? He has a true dragon destiny, and people say he will definitely be the emperor in the future."
After hearing this description, Jiang Zhaoxue gave up and realized that he didn't know him at all.
She continued without any hope: "What about Pei Zichen?"
"I don't know him."
"Then..." Jiang Zhaoxue sighed, "What about Ye Tianjiao? Have you heard of him?"
"without……"
Qian Sisi subconsciously denied it, but suddenly remembered something and asked alertly, "How do you know this name?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhaoxue knew something was up and quickly asked, "Do you know him?"
"A crazy talisman cultivator." Qian Sisi recalled, looking a little annoyed. "I met him on the road a few days ago. He kept pestering me and I got beaten up several times."
"Where are the others?!"
When Jiang Zhaoxue heard this, he immediately confirmed that this was definitely Ye Tianjiao.
Qian Sisi looked at her suspiciously: "Why do you care so much about him? Didn't you lose your memory?"
"I remember this name," Jiang Zhaoxue said excitedly, "I'm sure I have a connection with him. Tell me, where is he?"
Qian Sisi listened, feeling somewhat uncertain, and mumbled, "Just... came here this morning, and I beat him up... and threw him down the mountain..."
"Which mountain?"
Jiang Zhaoxue asked, and Qian Sisi raised her hand and pointed outside: "It's on the small hill in the back mountain..."
Before she could finish her words, Jiang Zhaoxue jumped off the bed, putting on her shoes as she ran, and hurriedly urged, "Hurry! Take me there!"
“Hey hey!”
Qian Sisi listened and quickly chased Jiang Zhaoxue out.
She snatched the lantern from her junior brother on the road, and seeing Jiang Zhaoxue rushing around, she couldn't help but ask, "Why are you in such a hurry? I must have known I was going to beat him, and... you're so anxious, did you really only remember one name?"
"Stop talking nonsense," Jiang Zhaoxue couldn't help but say, "You think you're justified in hitting someone?"
"I'm just a little girl," Qian Sisi said immediately after hearing this, "He came up and pounced on me, hugged me, and wouldn't let go. I even thought I didn't hit me lightly!"
As Jiang Zhaoxue listened to Qian Sisi's description, she became more and more certain of Ye Tianjiao's identity. Only he could do such a thing.
She didn't want to argue with Qian Sisi, so she turned back to pull Qian Sisi and coaxed her, "Good Junior Sister, you said that when I woke up, I didn't remember anything, I only remembered you and him. Now that I heard the news about him, I must be very excited. Can you please be kind and let me see him and see what's going on?"
Qian Sisi listened to Jiang Zhaoxue's softened voice, saying "good junior sister" and "please be kind" one after another. Then she thought about how Jiang Zhaoxue had forgotten all about Chen Chen and only remembered her. Looking at Jiang Zhaoxue's pretty face, Qian Sisi couldn't help but feel a little erratic. Suppressing the joy in her heart, she said with a pretentious attitude: "Alright. Come with me."
"quick!"
Jiang Zhaoxue urged her, and Qian Sisi led her to the back mountain. They searched all the way down from the place where the person was kicked, and finally found Ye Tianjiao, who was still unconscious, next to a tree trunk.
Seeing Ye Tianjiao lying unconscious on the ground, Jiang Zhaoxue rushed over, turned him over, parted his hair, and saw his scarred face.
Jiang Zhaoxue gasped and couldn't help but turn around and scold Qian Sisi: "Why did you hit me so hard?"
"He can't be beaten away," Qian Sisi said confidently, "Then I can only hit him harder."
"Then..." Jiang Zhaoxue looked around. "You kicked him down like that. Aren't you afraid he'll be eaten by wild beasts? He...his crime doesn't deserve the death penalty, right?"
"He has so many talismans on him that any ordinary living creature with evil intentions towards him will be killed immediately. He will be fine."
Qian Sisi explained.
Jiang Zhaoxue finally felt relieved. He turned around and injected spiritual energy into Ye Tianjiao. He patted Ye Tianjiao's face and said, "Ye Tianjiao? Tianjiao? Ye Er?"
Qian Sisi leaned aside without saying a word. After waiting for a moment, Ye Tianjiao opened his eyes in a daze, and Jiang Zhaoxue's face came into his sight. He stared at Jiang Zhaoxue blankly, as if he thought he was dreaming, and murmured, "Fairy sister..."
"Oh," Qian Sisi rolled her eyes, "He's really a pervert. He's nowhere near as demeanor as my senior brother. And he's a fairy..."
"It's me!"
Jiang Zhaoxue responded, and Qian Sisi was stunned for a moment. After a moment, Qian Sisi saw Ye Tianjiao's eyes light up, and then he burst into tears, suddenly throwing himself into Jiang Zhaoxue's arms, wailing, "Sister!! I finally waited for you!!"
Qian Sisi stared at the scene blankly, feeling something was wrong. When Jiang Zhaoxue raised her hand and patted Ye Tianjiao's back, saying soothingly, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here," Qian Sisi's alarm bells instantly rang.
It’s over!
She realized in an instant that her senior brother was finished!

The author has something to say: After thinking about it for three days, I felt that the original outline was a bit too long. I was afraid that by the time I entered the illusion, the excitement would be over. Finally, I came up with a merger plan and rebuilt it, and then entered the illusion first.
The content I have written is placed in the "Trial Reading Draft". If you want to reminisce, you can go there.
Red envelope apology, thank you.
