Chapter 23 Nothing will lie
A faint light came into view, and even the world in the dream seemed as fake as a stage play.
The light flashed back at different angles, and I thought this would be the end of the dream, but in the blink of an eye, I heard the vibration of weapons colliding, followed by a tingling sensation in my hands.
The long sword clashed with the formation knife. As an ordinary person, I had never come into contact with these before. I had neither strength nor skills, but I reacted at the first moment.
The sword tip unloads the force downwards, then turns back and presses down. But this is not the goal, but only a means, so after getting rid of the suppression, he pretended to attack, but actually distanced himself from it as soon as possible.
Very sensible play. Jing Yuan clenched the formation knife in his hand and made a judgment in an instant, but under this rationality, every move of the opponent was a killing move, without mercy, as if he was not facing another self, but some kind of mortal enemy.
Yan Qing, who also realized this, immediately commanded the flying sword to force Jing Yuan back step by step after he had made some space.
His hands were shaking, and Yan Qing, who was fighting against him, could clearly sense this weakness. As long as the angle is right...
"It's enough." Jing Yuan held Yan Qing's shoulder, stopping him from wanting to knock the weapon out of his hand.
"But..." Yan Qing wanted to say something, but found that the person opposite him, [Jing Yuan], stopped at the same time, with a look of fatigue that was no longer concealed.
Even so, he could still easily see through people's hearts, "If it is inconvenient to distinguish, you can give me a name."
"Jingyuan." This is what Luofu's General Shen Ce called him. This was an acknowledgement of his identity, or perhaps just a feigned acknowledgement. "You use a sword?"
This question raised a question about his identity, and the other party answered without hesitation: "Weapons will always be damaged one day, and using a sword is no different."
The seemingly reasonable answer failed to explain the cause of the damage, which was a deliberate evasion. Jing Yuan saw it clearly, but he went straight to the end and asked, "What do you want?"
It's not about what you want to do, but what you want, which is more subjective.
At this moment, I am really looking forward to the answer to this question.
Even if there is no answer, just one or two words from the heart are enough to serve as a reference.
But what is happening faster than expected is the sense of crisis that is getting closer and closer. The sharp sound of breaking through the air was approaching directly, and I subconsciously turned over to avoid it. Only then did I realize in the sudden feeling of weightlessness that I was performing these actions in reality.
And just now a flying knife did come at him, but it was deflected by "Yan Qing" in time, and it was now stuck straight into the side wall.
"Are they crazy?" "Yan Qing" held the long sword in his hand, and the sword body emitted a faint light under the reflection of the street lamp outside the window.
For a moment, I couldn't tell whether the dream I just had was just a subconscious projection under this situation.
"Yan Qing" was obviously focusing on protection at this time. Even though there were many opportunities to pursue, he did not dare to move even half a step away. "Is it the Secret Teachings of the King of Medicine or the Dragon Master this time? What time is it now? Aren't they sleepy at all?!"
"Maybe it's both." "Dan Heng" responded, and moved to the corridor in time to share some of the pressure for "Yan Qing".
Seeing that the safety here was guaranteed, Blade rushed out holding Zhili without hesitation, "Wait until I catch one and ask him, and we'll know."
"It doesn't matter if we can't catch him. Master Dragon will not be involved in this matter anyway. Ensure your own safety first." I responded quickly, but "Blade" had already rushed out first, and I don't know if he heard it or not.
However, Yan Qing, who stayed in the house, heard it clearly. While on guard against a possible sneak attack, he asked curiously, "What did you say?"
"The Chiming tribe still wants to survive in the Immortal Boat. Even if they are impulsive and greedy for power, they will not take the initiative to choose to kill Jing Yuan."
This is the most fundamental difference between them and the Secret Teachings of the King of Medicine.
"Admittedly, General Luofu is an obstacle, but even if Jing Yuan is gone, there will be another General Luofu to take over. Rather than getting familiar with the new general's way of doing things, it is better to keep the old one."
"But you are not General Luofu here." "Dan Heng" went straight to the point.
...Yeah, I'm not the real Jingyuan. I hit my head. It was probably because I had just woken up from a dream. Otherwise, how could I have overlooked such an obvious problem?
Since Luofu already has a general, another person who is very close to him and has a similar face is somewhat of a threat.
Or to be more precise, they can get rid of any Jing Yuan and leave only the remaining one.
However, this is just an unfounded guess. The details will depend on what the person who brought "Blade" back says.
Soon, "Blade" climbed in through the window, "Not a single one was caught alive."
He took a few deep breaths with an unsightly expression, and couldn't help but complain, "I pressed one, and it fell to the ground and rotted quickly. The stench made me worry that I had entered a horror movie set."
"Rapid decay?" Dan Heng imagined the scene. "It does look like a horror movie. Will only their skeletons be left in the end?"
"No." Blade responded with regret, "If there were, I would have brought one back for you. Unfortunately, they have decayed into a pool of liquid, sinking into the ground, leaving no trace at all."
"Hey!" "Yan Qing" rubbed his arms, "Can't we wait until dawn to talk about this?!"
“No!” Blade’s expression suddenly became serious, but what he said was: “If you tell me at dawn, I won’t be able to scare you at all.”
"Yan Qing" looked at him suspiciously and expectantly, "You just want to scare me, right?"
"Ren" patted "Yanqing"'s head lovingly, "Silly child, this is of course the truth."
"No wonder when I fought them that time, I always felt that they were like emotionless puppets." "Yan Qing" muttered, as if trying to use a new metaphor to suppress the horrific description.
"Dan Heng" boldly put forward a hypothesis: "They deliberately chose this time because they would die in the light."
This is indeed possible, and it may even save you the trouble of cleaning up the scene.
Wait, time! I quickly reached for the jade tablet on the bedside. Now it is... "Four thirty-two, it's time to go to work!"
I quickly got up and changed my clothes, and said worriedly, "Don't mess around..."
I wanted to give them a warning, but when I looked up and saw their innocent blinking, I knew that they would definitely not stay in the room obediently.
"Forget it. If you must go out, remember to go together with at least two people, and keep me updated on your whereabouts."
"It's just like having a locator installed." "Yan Qing" lowered his head and poked the button next to Yu Zhao, and a location was automatically sent to the set group chat.
There was nothing different in the Shen Ce Mansion today. Apart from the Yunqi who took turns on duty, Qing Dun was the only one there. No one knew where the other strategists were working.
Qing Zhu didn't seem to expect me to come. He hesitated for two seconds before reminding me, "If you want to find General Jing Yuan, he has some urgent matters to deal with recently, so he is probably not often in Shen Ce Mansion. If you have any important matters, I can convey them to you, or you can contact General Jing Yuan directly."
...Shocked, so I was fired after just one day on the job? !
Although I did nothing and caused trouble, after all, I should not accept rewards without doing anything. I feel guilty about eating and drinking for free from the funds of the Shen Ce Mansion.
"Can I see the paper records I kept before?" I asked, and then immediately explained: "I just want to find some ideas and feelings."
After all, I am learning things much faster now. Maybe if I observe more, I can really figure out some insights.
But Qing Zhu showed a bit of surprise. She was silent, and finally reported a few numbers, "General Jing Yuan often reads these documents, maybe what you want is among them."
Huh? Does Jingyuan also need to find ideas and feelings? I thought about it with some doubt, but Qingdun took this brief silence as a tacit agreement and turned around to look up the information.
The specially sealed materials are so well protected that even after a hundred years, they still look as new as if they were newly produced.
The first one was General Luofu's appointment letter, the second one was the follow-up documents for the Yinyue Rebellion, and the third one...
I looked at the words "Incinerator" under the word "Top Secret" and fell into deep thought.
If I remember correctly, incineration is related to memory. But they are different from Liuguang Yiting. Incineration will secretly tamper with or even destroy their memories...
Has Luofu encountered any incidents related to incineration?
I thought about it carefully, but couldn't find anything related in the plot. But not finding it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, just like there are still unopened maps in Luofu.
Now, just by opening this document, we can learn more and may even get relevant clues.
But I don't know why, but I actually felt a little resistance in my heart...
"Can I read it directly?" I asked Qingyu for confirmation, but I couldn't tell which answer I wanted to know.
Qingyu seemed to have noticed something. She stared at me and finally responded, "Of course."
It is undeniable that I felt a little disappointed when I got this answer, but I was more relieved.
If you can't see the clues that are right in front of you, you will probably have to think about them forever.
What's more, this is a problem that all of us have to solve, and we can't just ignore it because of me.
After much analysis, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and opened the file.
The first line of large characters that catches your eye is: the connection between the so-called "Pure Land" and the Heaven of Good View.
This title corresponds to what the Black Swan said. It is eye-catching enough, but there is a line of small words added at the end: Nothing will not lie, especially...memory.
