Bright Moon
When Li Bai left, she gave Changxia the ruler-shaped water ball that Xie Fengxue had made for her, and now it came in handy.
Changxia left Ye Shuxing's sea of consciousness, used illusion to blind his senses, and then took out the water ball openly.
He tied the other ends of the spiritual threads tied to the mirage to the ruler stone.
She felt the mirage absorbing the ruler stone's power, like a wolf that had been hungry for a long time and suddenly saw food, greedy and thirsty.
So they really come from the same source.
No matter how slow Ye Shuxing was, he could still feel the changes in his body. He looked towards Changxia's position, but found that the beautiful swordsman girl didn't seem to do anything unusual. She just sat at the table and drank his tea.
His hands that were working on the fish stopped.
"I didn't expect that the girl's illusion skills were also very advanced."
Changxia was not surprised that he reacted so quickly, because the illusion just now was just a test.
When Zuo Qin taught her the art of illusion, he said that this art had three levels: deceiving the eyes, deceiving the heart, and deceiving me.
"Eye" doesn't just refer to the eyes, but to the five senses. Blinding the five senses is the most basic requirement for a successful illusion. And "heart" refers to the fact that after the spell is cast, the victim will rationalize all irrational things, which in turn helps the caster complete the deception. Zuo Qin said that many current illusion masters stop at this level, it's simply a matter of the depth of their cultivation.
As for deceiving my realm, according to him, that is not for people to perform. Changxia asked curiously, and Zuo Qin smiled without saying anything. Later, he got annoyed by the pestering and pointed to the sky.
Later, Changxia stopped asking questions.
She has a good talent in this area and has reached the second level without much effort.
Her magic deceived Ye Shuxing's eyes but not his heart.
So even though his eyes told him that there was nothing unusual around him, his heart told him that the girl he took in was not ordinary.
He chose to follow his heart.
Chang Xia didn't respond to his words, but instead sighed inexplicably, "No matter how you look at it, he's still in the Nascent Soul stage."
Ye Shuxing closed his eyes, weakening 90% of his senses to reduce the effect of the illusion. He instinctively turned towards Changxia and said, "I've been feeling a little strange since returning home today, but I couldn't figure it out. Now I finally understand. I'm afraid the girl has discovered my background."
Not only did he not feel panic or anger, but he smiled softly, "I thought I could keep it a secret for a few more days."
Changxia's thoughts suddenly wandered for a moment. She looked at Ye Shuxing with a complicated expression, thinking to herself, I don't know what's so magical about the secret technique of these mayflies that they can turn a group of stupid bugs into a smart one in such a short time.
She wanted Xie Fengxue and Zuo Qin to study it and give each of her junior brothers and sisters who never left their homes a set of techniques.
She often worried that their brains had rusted because they hadn't been out for so long.
Changxia removed the illusion, and when Ye Shuxing opened his eyes again, he saw the female swordsman in a goose yellow dress holding her sword, standing high above on the second floor.
Her dress was gentle and bright, and her appearance was as clear as water. Even when he first saw her, he felt that she was a gentle, kind and easy-going girl.
But now it is as sharp as a sword drawn from its sheath.
Is this her attitude towards her enemies?
Chang Xia said coldly, "You're unlucky. I've recently encountered quite a few people who don't talk well and just ask me to guess riddles. I'm really impatient now."
She should have used a gentler method to find out the truth, but she still directly asked Xie Fengxue for the method of controlling the spirit beast.
"Ye Shuxing, you only have one chance to convince me."
The man below smiled helplessly. He didn't know who he took after, but he seemed to have a good temper.
"Last night... I originally wanted you to enter the Human Emperor's dream, but now it seems that I failed, otherwise you wouldn't have so many questions."
Changxia tightened her grip on Caishou's sword handle. In order to prevent her from falling into Ye Shuxing's spiritual world and being unable to get out, she had been holding Caishou. If there was any unusual movement, she would forcibly pull her out. But because of this, Caishou was also sucking her blood.
Her knuckles turned white from the exertion.
She did dream of the Human Emperor last night, but it was probably not the one Ye Shuxing wanted.
She didn't say what she dreamed about: "Human Emperor? There must have been thousands of Human Emperors in the past tens of thousands of years."
Ye Shuxing replied, "The one from four thousand years ago, Princess Mingyue, Ji Zhao."
He was silent for a moment, then added,
"Girl, I wonder if anyone has ever told you that you have a strong aura of the Human Emperor."
Chang Xia asked in a deep voice, "What exactly is the Human Emperor's aura?"
Ye Shuxing looked up at her thoughtfully. The girl didn't show the surprise she should have shown when hearing an unfamiliar term, which was already a hint that someone had told her.
"The Ji family is naturally sensitive to the spells of time and space. This is a bloodline blessing bestowed by heaven and earth after the path was opened. Heaven gave us time, and the earth gave us space.
No matter how vast the world is, it's nothing more than the two words "time and space." This is proof of the Human Emperor's mastery of heaven and earth. The Human Emperor only lives for a hundred years, yet he's accomplished many earth-shattering feats. This is naturally due to the support and protection of the Cangxuan Heaven and Earth. The Ji clan members are also blessed by the great fortune of heaven and earth, and they avoid doing anything that harms the heavens and earth, and at least live a life of peace and security.
But it is not the same for others. If they want to gain the favor of heaven and earth, they must have been blessed in their previous life, or have a mission to fulfill, or have done great deeds. God will not be good to people for no reason.
The so-called Human Emperor's aura is a blessing bestowed upon others by the Human Emperor. They share a portion of their fortune with you, and from then on, the universe will cherish you a little more. However, no matter how much the Human Emperor's aura is, it is also fixed. The more they give you, the less they will keep for themselves. This girl has a strong Human Emperor aura; she must be someone very close to the current Human Emperor.
Chang Xia raised his eyebrows: "I know more than one Human Emperor."
“But when a person dies, it’s like a light going out. When the emperor collapses, the aura they left behind will naturally disappear.”
Ye Shuxing continued, "There's something different about you, young lady. Besides the current Human Emperor, you do have the aura of another Human Emperor."
The fish, with no one holding it down, was thrashing wildly on the chopping board, but the two people in the room were clearly not looking at it.
Chang Xia thought of someone: "Ji Sheng"
She didn't use a questioning tone, her tone was calm and she was just stating a fact.
Ye Shuxing smiled: "It seems that you entered King Qiuwu's dream last night."
"Then what is your relationship with Princess Mingyue?"
This question seemed to stump Ye Shuxing. He lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time before he softly said, "I was born because of her."
As if to confirm something, he raised his head, looked into Changxia's eyes and said seriously: "Yes, I was born because of her."
Changxia suddenly felt it was absurd. The idea had just flashed through her mind when she was daydreaming, but she didn't take it seriously. But it seemed that Ye Shuxing himself took it seriously.
——She was wondering at the time what kind of monster Ye Shuxing was.
"I just felt a familiar yet unfamiliar force. Over the years, many people have come to Buduku to enter my dreams. I took the opportunity to read many of their memories and learned a lot about the outside world. People outside seem to call them 'ruler stones.'"
"Miss, what I want to tell you is that Chishi and Miefei are of the same origin and are both the flesh and blood of Princess Mingyue."
There are two heavens in Cang Xuan, one is the way of heaven, and the other is the immortals.
If the immortal wants to kill you, as the legal master of Cang Xuan, what will you do?
Ji Zhao's choice was to resist.
Unlike the desperate struggle of several generations including Bie Jingchun eight hundred years ago, the heavenly punishment four thousand years ago was a fight between Ji Zhao and a trapped beast alone.
At that time, Cang Xuan was far from being as united as it is now. The major sects operated independently, and the demon cultivators were not trapped in the Chi Zhou Sea, which was then called the Yong Zhou Sea, and roamed the land of Cang Xuan.
Intrigue, selfishness, murder and robbery seem to be the most common things.
At that time, the fairy world and Cang Xuan could still communicate with each other, and the immortals could still come down the ladder to heaven. Some of those who were attached to Cang Xuan simply did not go back.
In fact, the rumor of divine punishment from the immortal world had already spread.
However, many monks cannot reach the threshold of ascension in their entire lives. Before the ladder to heaven is truly cut off, they actually have an indifferent attitude towards this matter.
In other words, even if they have the attitude, it will be useless without the power.
Those who can touch the threshold think that the fairyland will only be closed for a few thousand years at most. After all, their ancestors have already established a firm foothold in the fairyland and have become a very powerful force. If the road to heaven is really cut off forever, they will not agree.
The life span for overcoming the tribulation is ten thousand years. They can afford to wait for thousands of years, and there is no need to be the first to take action to seek benefits for those who come later.
At that time, Ji Zhao didn't know what the fairy world wanted to do. She just felt that Cang Xuan should be decided by the Cang Xuan people. The fairy world could block your heavenly road today, but what if they wanted to do something more extreme tomorrow?
So she gathered an army of rebels and started the first humane war against heaven.
"I just don't know why, but my memory of how she failed is so vague. It's like it was deliberately sealed. Everything was going smoothly before, but then it suddenly collapsed. I only know that the princess finally came up with another solution... As for that solution..."
Ye Shuxing sighed, as if he was thinking of some bad memories.
"Her body eventually fell into a secret realm, her blood turning into a surging red river that flowed endlessly year-round. Her spirit... her spirit had long since dissipated. Only the faint thought of returning to the Eastern Territory remained, but before she could reach the Human Emperor Palace in Ye City, it dissipated into us.
The soul inherits the memory, but I am only a thought away, so my memory is incomplete. The bloodline inherits the power, the space-time power of the Ji bloodline flows within the ruler stone, but for some reason, I only sense the space power within, the time power... seems to have been completely consumed."
Ye Shuxing's narration was as gentle as his entire personality.
"Sometimes I want to call her 'mother', but then I feel ashamed of myself for thinking that I am not worthy of that."
Chang Xia did not comment on the self-pity in Ye Shuxing's words. She asked the question he had not answered directly just now: "So who is Ye Shuxing?"
Ye Shuxing was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled softly.
"Ye Shuxing is a shadow, a bit of selfishness, and a longing."
