Chapter 5 Chapter 5 The Jade of Heavenly Secrets is Born
Gao Wen's words were too malicious. Pei Zichen looked up at him. Gao Wen's eyes were full of provocation, but Pei Zichen remained calm. He said calmly, "Senior Brother Gao, there's something strange about this temple. I'm afraid it's an illusion."
"That's right!" Gu Jinglan reacted and instantly became excited, cursing loudly, "Gao Wen, stop causing trouble. You were the one who provoked that tree demon just now. Now don't cause trouble for everyone. Do you think this temple is normal? Come out quickly!"
"Illusion bullshit!"
Gao Wen was excited by what Gu Jinglan said. He immediately raised his hand and tapped a piece of paper. Green smoke drifted away with the wind. The smoke in the illusion was difficult to match with the wind direction, so it was the simplest way to verify the illusion.
Seeing Qingyan, Pei Zichen frowned. Gu Jinglan was also stunned. He turned back to look at Pei Zichen and asked uncertainly, "Brother? What's going on?"
The green smoke in the illusion cannot correspond to the wind. This is common knowledge learned by all disciples of the Lingjian Immortal Pavilion.
It’s just that this illusion had already been adjusted by Jiang Zhaoxue, and their common sense was useless within her magic circle.
Since she wanted to trick them into entering the temple, how could she give them the chance to discover anything unusual?
If Shen Yuqing were here, she might be able to see through her tricks, but these young disciples had no idea what was going on.
Jiang Zhaoxue was somewhat pleased with herself, but looked at Pei Zichen with an embarrassed expression.
He had a hunch that something was wrong, but he had no evidence, so he could only look at the ruined temple vigilantly.
Gao Wen saw Pei Zichen's silence and became proud. He said happily, "See, this is not an illusion. If you people from Luoxia Peak don't come in, then those from Lanyue Peak, come in!"
Hearing this, the disciples of Lanyue Peak nearby all looked at Pei Zichen. Seeing this, Gu Jinglan hurriedly said, "Don't believe him! Don't you know he's stupid?"
The disciples looked at each other, and the oldest one raised his hands in front of him and saluted Pei Zichen, saying, "Senior Brother Pei, we still have to follow Senior Brother Gao."
As they spoke, the disciples bowed and left one by one, leaving only Gu Jinglan and three other disciples standing there. They looked up at Pei Zichen and said, "Brother, what should we do?"
Pei Zichen didn't say anything.
The appearance of this temple was too strange, and he intuitively felt that it must be an illusion.
But Gao Wen had verified it again, and without evidence, he couldn't talk nonsense.
Pei Zichen thought for a long time, and finally said: "Since Master has entrusted them to me, I can't just ignore them. Be vigilant and go in."
Having expected this outcome, Gu Jinglan wasn't surprised. He just sighed and couldn't help but curse, "It's all that trouble caused by that Penglai Lady. She's always looking for trouble. She'd kick any bitch that passed by Master. How on earth did someone like that manage to reach the Spiritual Transformation Stage? Heaven is so unfair!"
As soon as Gu Jinglan opened his mouth, the other disciples responded one after another. Pei Zichen listened for a moment and said calmly, "Alright, stop talking."
"Let's talk about it in private," Gu Jinglan muttered, "She doesn't know anyway."
"That won't work either." Pei Zichen's voice became more serious as he corrected her earnestly, "Also, you should call her Master's Wife."
Gu Jinglan curled his lips and didn't dare to say anything more.
Jiang Zhaoxue glanced at the young man and didn't care much. What Gu Jinglan said was right. She had done the same before. She wanted to kick any dog that passed by Shen Yuqing, no matter whether it was male or female.
None of the disciples of Lingjian Xian Pavilion have respected her over the years, and Gu Jinglan was kind to her, so she didn't take it to heart.
What she cares about most now is Pei Zichen.
She lay in Pei Zichen's arms, and after listening to Pei Zichen's instructions to Gu Jinglan, he took a few people into the temple. Seeing this, Jiang Zhaoxue finally felt relieved.
She was really afraid that Pei Zichen would really abandon Gao Wen and other disciples and leave.
Fortunately, the current Pei Zichen is quite similar to the description in the book. He has a gentle temperament, is self-disciplined and respects propriety. He is the eldest brother who will draw his sword and stand in front of everyone at any time.
But compared to the book, he is a little more human.
For example, he likes to raise small animals and has a bit of a temper. He won't say anything to people he's dissatisfied with, but he will never treat them kindly either.
For example, Gao Wen.
For example, her.
Although he spoke out to stop Gu Jinglan from saying bad things about her, if he really disagreed, Gu Jinglan might not be able to open his mouth at all, and he would have suppressed the first word.
With such a personality, she was not surprised by the subsequent false accusations made by her fellow disciples.
If a person is truly completely selfless, unpartial and without temper, he will not make too deep enemies with others.
If a person really only cares about himself and doesn't care about others, even if he makes enemies, he will not be schemed against too deeply.
Only Pei Zichen is like this, with a saintly heart and doing whatever he wants. He is the easiest to make enemies and the easiest to plot against.
But in the book he is the protagonist, blessed with good luck, and always able to escape danger.
But she didn't know what he would do after she interfered.
For example, tonight, if she took away the Heavenly Jade, could he survive?
After all, how did he survive when everyone else died?
This thought flashed through Jiang Zhaoxue's mind, and then she put aside the fact that his life or death had nothing to do with her. In fact, if he died, she would feel more at ease. At least, there would be no possibility of him strangling her to death.
She was thinking wildly in her mind, but when Pei Zichen carried her into the temple, she immediately collected her thoughts and began to sense the spirit-seeking formation.
Gao Wen, who was standing nearby, saw a group of people coming in and laughed mockingly, "Hey, didn't you say it was an illusion? Why are they coming in again?"
"I'm just worried about you guys!" Gu Jinglan said indignantly, "Stop looking for trouble!"
As soon as the two met, they started quarreling like fighting cocks.
The noise made Jiang Zhaoxue dizzy and she couldn't feel anything.
Pei Zichen was already used to their quarrels, so he didn't care much. He held Jiang Zhaoxue and sat down beside him. He sat not far from the center of the formation. Jiang Zhaoxue became more and more focused. She raised her hands to cover her ears and carefully sensed the fluctuations of the soul-seeking formation.
Pei Zichen saw her raising her paws to cover her ears, and seemed to find it a little funny, so he reached out and covered her ears.
Jiang Zhaoxue couldn't help but freeze.
Although it was summer, the boy's hands were very cold, with calluses from years of sword training. Pressing against her sensitive and warm ears made her feel a little strange.
She couldn't help but flutter her ears. Pei Zichen felt an itch in his palm and whispered, "Are they too noisy?"
That’s right!
Jiang Zhaoxue immediately raised his eyes.
Pei Zichen sighed and said softly, "They're always making so much noise, I can't control them anymore."
These words surprised Jiang Zhaoxue. She didn't expect Pei Zichen to feel tired because of such a thing.
Pei Zichen seemed to be able to see the confusion in her eyes and said with a smile: "Of course I'm tired. Being a senior brother is very tiring. But Master also went through this."
Pei Zichen's voice fell through his fingers into Jiang Zhaoxue's ears, his tone full of longing as he said, "I heard that Master used to be the eldest senior brother, and every eldest senior brother came here this way. If Master can do it, then naturally I can too."
Um……
Shen Yuqing is more relaxed than him.
After all, he was from the Shen family of immortals, and Lingjian Xian Pavilion was not a famous sect at that time. The people under Shen Yuqing were not so talkative.
At least Shen Yuqing couldn't possibly control the deputy leader's uncle.
But Jiang Zhaoxue was too lazy to say these words. Pei Zichen covered her ears and cast a silencing spell on her, so she could only hear his voice.
This allowed her to concentrate on sensing the formation.
After sensing for a while, she finally realized something was wrong.
No.
There was no movement at all.
Pei Zichen had clearly arrived, so why was there no reaction from the Soul-Seeking Array? Where was the Heavenly Secret Jade?
Even if there were no traces of the Jade, there should be some left of the snake, right? How could a snake that swallowed the Jade not make any movement?
Thinking back to the tree demon just now, Jiang Zhaoxue felt a little uneasy.
The last spell the tree demon used just now was the Nine Netherworld Fire, a spell from the Nine Netherworld Realm.
Why does a tree demon from the True Fairyland know the magic of the Nine Netherworld?
The information she received was from the perspective of "Jiang Zhaoxue", and many things were not clear to her. For example, she heard about Pei Zichen obtaining the Tianji Lingyu from other people, and she actually didn't know the details.
Where did that black snake come from?
What triggers the Tianji Lingyu and when will it come into the world?
She lay in Pei Zichen's arms and thought silently.
Now the soul-seeking formation has no response at all, it's too strange.
As long as the black snake exists, even if it hasn't eaten the Heavenly Secret Jade, or is deliberately hiding, there will always be fluctuations in spiritual power, and the spirit-seeking formation will definitely be able to detect it.
If it cannot be detected, then something unexpected has happened.
She now has to go to the center of the formation to determine the situation.
Jiang Zhaoxue thought about it and immediately rushed out. Pei Zichen pulled her back. Jiang Zhaoxue was unhappy and started to fight with Pei Zichen.
While the two men were shoving and fighting, Gao Wen had already bandaged his wounds and began to survey the temple, saying hopefully, "This temple is truly remarkable. It's been around for so long in Wuyue Forest, and even has magical techniques preserved. It must have been built by a powerful being. Perhaps this is our chance, and we might even find some treasures there."
"Stop dreaming."
Gu Jinglan glanced at Gao Wen and sat on the ground, polishing his sword. "We're here to find the trumpet creeper for Junior Sister Jinyue, not to hunt for treasure. Put aside your messy thoughts."
"Gu Jinglan, that's not what you're saying." Gao Wen, who was standing nearby, had already turned into the inner room and was observing his surroundings, muttering, "Opportunities always come unexpectedly. Getting an opportunity while searching for the trumpet creeper wouldn't that be the best of both worlds? Besides, with the trumpet creeper, it's all about fate. What if I see it first? Wouldn't the credit be mine?"
"Everyone, greed breeds inner demons." Pei Zichen finally spoke after listening to Gao Wen's words. He ran his bony fingers along Jiang Zhaoxue's fur and calmly reminded her, "This place is unusual. Illusions can easily occur. Fellow disciples, please remember the rules we set before we set out. Don't touch foreign objects on the wall, don't look directly at the glowing fireflies in the dark, don't..."
"Oh my!" Gao Wen shouted excitedly from the inner room, "Senior Brother Gao, look, it's a trumpet creeper!"
Hearing this, Pei Zichen froze and felt something was wrong.
Jiang Zhaoxue took the opportunity to jump out, but Pei Zichen was no longer able to care about her. He rushed to the inner room with his men and said anxiously, "Gao Wen, stop messing around!"
Jiang Zhaoxue was a little surprised when listening to their conversation. The trumpet creeper grows on the border of the Nine Netherworld Realm, and it depends a lot on luck.
Did they find it so easily?
It’s not found in the book either. Can her spiritual roots be dug out to find them?
Jiang Zhaoxue was a little dazed, but there was no time to think about it. She pounced on the center of the soul-seeking array, pressed it with her tiger claws, closed her eyes, and after the spiritual power was poured in, she began to sense all the spiritual power fluctuations in the entire Wu Yue Forest.
She could sense even a worm.
However, when the formation was at its maximum, she looked at countless snakes but did not see the black snake that should have swallowed the Tianji Lingyu.
Where?
Where is the Celestial Jade? Where is the Black Snake?
Jiang Zhaoxue frowned and thought hard.
There was already a commotion inside.
Gao Wen said proudly, "Everyone saw it, it was me, Gao Wen, who found the trumpet creeper. Everyone, please bear witness..."
"Gao Wen!" Pei Zichen shouted, "That's an illusion!"
"Just now you also said it was an illusion," Gao Wen sneered, "We'll know if it's an illusion once we try it. The sooner we find the Sky-High Flower, the sooner we can return to report to Master!"
"Gao Wen, let go!"
"I won't!"
"Get out of the way! If anyone blocks my way again, I'll take action!"
…
There was a lot of noise in the inner room, but Jiang Zhaoxue couldn't hear anything and just thought seriously about the current situation.
There was no way she could have missed it in the soul-seeking formation. The snake appeared at the boundary marker of the Nine Netherworld. Could it be that it was not in the Wu Yuelin?
However, the place where the Heavenly Secret Jade appeared was clearly Wuyue Forest. If it had not been discovered by the Soul-Seeking Array in Wuyue Forest, there was only one possibility -
Jiang Zhaoxue paused and suddenly realized something was wrong.
She looked back at the back of the temple, and after seeing through the illusion, she could see the vague barrier behind the boundary marker.
Behind the barrier is also the area of Wu Yuelin, but that is already the Nine Netherworld Realm.
If it was the Tianji Lingyu that came from the Nine Netherworld, how did it come to the real fairyland?
And there’s trumpet creeper. They didn’t get it in the book, so how come they got it now?
As soon as this question arose, Jiang Zhaoxue suddenly realized something, and she and Pei Zichen shouted at the same time: "Gao Wen!"
However, it was too late, the evil energy suddenly exploded from within!
Pei Zichen rushed out, picked up Jiang Zhaoxue from the ground, put it in his arms, and retreated dozens of feet in an instant while holding it.
When Pei Zichen stopped kneeling on one knee, Jiang Zhaoxue looked up in his arms and saw that all the disciples were blown away.
The temple seemed to be torn apart, and a transparent wall reaching the sky appeared in the rumbling sound. It stretched infinitely in all directions, becoming a towering wall between heaven and earth.
Behind the high wall is the vast and endless ocean coast. Black demons are densely packed on the transparent wall, making sharp cries and slapping the barrier with "bang bang".
Then a huge black snake struggled out of the sea and slammed into the transparent wall.
The wall shattered like glass, and the black snake broke through the barrier and rushed out with its head raised!
The spirit-seeking arrays spread out across the land began to light up crazily, becoming scorching points of light on Jiang Zhaoxue's arms, desperately reminding her—
The divine jade of heaven is born!
