To be honest, Qiu Changtian really has no memory of the previous times of going back in time.
But he knew very well that the illusion of Mirror Flower and Water Moon was powerful:
It is obvious that Qiu Changtian and Luo Yan have the same facial features, but from the head of Ziwei Sect, Elder Shiding to Xu Yinglian and Shi Liuli, none of them can be recognized.
It is simply a unique illusion in the world.
After going back in time, it shouldn't be difficult for me to detect any sense of incongruity.
but……
"Speaking of which, Ah Jing," Qiu Changtian said with a sigh, "You are also a weapon spirit after all, don't you have any way to deal with the original body?"
"I don't master the power of time. I just borrow the avenue of time." Kunlun Jing said helplessly, "It's mainly because your rank is too low. How can a cultivator at the foundation-building stage resist an innate spiritual treasure?"
Qiu Changtian was so angry that he laughed:
"It seems that you didn't die a good death, and your body was used against me. Or is it because my cultivation level is not high enough?"
"That's not what I want to do!" Kunlun Mirror became more and more embarrassed and said aggrievedly, "After all, I'm just a mirror. If I hadn't been living in your sea of consciousness, I wouldn't even be able to move freely."
"That's too bad, Jing. You should have some shame."
"You know your shame." Kunlun Mirror quickly replied, "Listen to me, try to bypass Yaochi this time and don't go to the mirror stand."
"Yeah." Qiu Changtian nodded.
According to the strategy steps recorded in the Kunlun Mirror, after the golden-armored warrior was alarmed by the two people inside, Qiu Changtian took Xu Yinglian and rushed onto the long iron chain bridge and ran straight to the cloud platform opposite.
"The immortal music is louder this time." Kunlun Mirror reminded.
"Yeah." Qiu Changtian nodded, then pulled Xu Yinglian around the Yaochi and walked towards the temple.
Xu Yinglian didn't understand what was going on and originally wanted to explore the surroundings, but when she saw her senior brother pulling her away without saying anything, she felt a little shy and uneasy and did not resist.
The two of them walked around the Yaochi Lake, passed through the archway at the edge of the Yuntai, crossed the towering Tianmen, and arrived in front of the temple.
The shrine of the Queen Mother of the West is named "Zhao Palace".
The so-called "Zhao" means shining brightly.
Seen from the outside, it is worthy of being a fairy palace, with dragons swimming around the pillars and phoenixes flying on the eaves, displaying an extremely brilliant and splendid style.
After walking up the steps, they stood in front of the closed palace gate.
The palace gate was about three meters high, tightly closed, and extremely heavy.
After confirming that there was no trap, Qiu Changtian pushed the door hard.
Seeing that he was struggling, Xu Yinglian stepped forward to help. The two of them used their shoulders to push against the palace gate, and together they pushed hard and finally pushed the gate open.
There was a huge main hall inside, with tables and desks everywhere.
Countless magical weapons, flying swords, Taoist books, and elixirs that were shining brightly and emitting spiritual energy were neatly placed on the stands and tables, almost dazzling the two people's eyes.
Xu Yinglian took a deep breath, and then he put his seven orifices of his mind into action, and suppressed the greed in his heart. He turned around and asked Qiu Changtian:
"what to do?"
Qiu Changtian was silent for a moment. After confirming through the Kunlun Mirror that there were no traps or restrictions inside, he nodded to Xu Yinglian.
The two of them entered the palace gate at the same time.
…
My vision suddenly brightened.
Qiu Changtian's gaze swept across the sea of clouds and looked at the golden-armored warrior guarding the bridge. Suddenly, the small movie played at an accelerated speed on the Kunlun Mirror flashed in his sight.
"...Ah, this." Qiu Changtian felt a headache after reading it, "How many times have I gone back in time?"
"The fourth time." Kunlun Mirror replied.
Qiu Changtian thought quickly:
For the first time, staring at the mirror stand, looking back.
The second time, he tried to take away the Kunlun Mirror fragments and go back.
The third time, he bypassed Yaochi and tried to enter Zhaogong and go back.
Based on the limited evidence, it seems that the fragments of Kunlun Mirror are guarding the Yuntai location.
Once it feels threatened, or tries to leave the Yuntai and enter Zhao Palace, the counterattack mechanism of the Kunlun Mirror fragment will be triggered.
It is also very simple to confirm this conjecture.
He took Junior Sister Xu to wander around Yuntai, neither trying to enter Zhao Palace nor investigating the Central Yaochi.
If the same amount of time has passed and time travel is still not triggered, this can probably prove it.
So Qiu Changtian did the same thing again. After the golden-armored warrior was lured away, he pulled Xu Yinglian onto the iron chain bridge without saying anything.
Although Xu Yinglian always likes to compete with his senior brother, he still recognizes his abilities and decisiveness in his heart.
Qiu Changtian was too lazy to explain, so she didn't ask any more questions. She just followed closely behind Qiu Changtian, with a tense expression, thinking silently about what the deeper meaning of her senior brother's action was.
When they arrived at Yuntai, they heard the sound of immortal music, as if it was right within reach.
Louder than the previous backtracking processes.
Not only that, phantoms also began to appear one after another on the stone pillars of the arcade surrounding the edge of the platform.
Although the outline is extremely faint and flickering, one can vaguely make out countless golden-armored warriors standing around.
But the look in the eyes behind the visor was cold and dead, unlike that of an ordinary person.
There were also fairies coming and going in a constant stream, holding pipa in their arms, half covering their faces, singing beautiful music in their jade-like throats.
There was a flash of resentment in his eyes.
Qiu Changtian looked serious, knowing that if he went back a few more times, these golden-armored warriors and fairies would become real, and there was a high probability that they would gang up on the two of them...
This time-reversal mechanism must be cracked as soon as possible!
He ignored the phantoms and just circled along the edge of the platform with his sister.
After going around for about ten times, Xu Yinglian finally couldn't hold it anymore and asked with a frown:
"Brother, what are you looking for?"
"Oh, I'm studying the formation." Qiu Changtian said.
"Formation?" Xu Yinglian exclaimed in astonishment. Were these phantoms caused by the formation?
Moreover, senior brother actually knows formations?
Wait, I remember that when my senior brother was out for training, he once helped the monks of Yuqing Temple to break the formation...
Damn it, senior brother not only has a high level of cultivation, powerful Taoism, and proficient swordsmanship, but now he has even started to dabble in formations?
When will I be able to catch up with my brother?
As Junior Sister Xu was thinking this, she saw Qiu Changtian looking at her strangely.
[Invincible character, synchronization value +1. ]
"What's wrong?" Xu Yinglian suppressed her reluctance and asked again.
"Don't talk yet." Qiu Changtian frowned and said, "I'm thinking about something."
He had been calculating the time since he arrived at Yuntai.
So far, it has been almost three times as long as the previous backtracking processes, and still has not been triggered. This is enough to explain the problem.
Qiu Changtian asked Xu Yinglian to stand on the side of the arcade, and then approached the Yaochi Lake cautiously. He did not look at the mirror stand in the center of the lake, but controlled the sword light to cut off the dried lotus pods.
Then he turned around, gave half of the two peeled lotus seeds to Xu Yinglian, and said:
"have eaten."
Xu Yinglian wanted to say something but stopped herself. Seeing Qiu Changtian chewing and swallowing without hesitation, she also put the lotus seeds into her mouth.
After eating the lotus seeds, Qiu Changtian turned his back to Yao Chi and began to think.
Hmm, still no backtracking was triggered.
The trigger mechanism is basically clear: once an attempt is made to break into the Zhao Palace, or the Kunlun mirror fragments on the mirror table feel threatened, it will trigger the backtracking mechanism.
In other words, we can only launch a sneak attack when it is not paying attention...
Thinking of this, Qiu Changtian suddenly turned around, and the Xiandu Thunder flew out from his sleeve and struck the Yaochi Mirror Table like lightning!
…
Qiu Changtian walked out of the cave and his vision suddenly became clear.
In the distance is an endless sea of clouds, in the near distance is a long iron chain bridge and the general guarding the bridge, as well as... a short movie playing in the Kunlun Mirror.
After listening to Kunlun Mirror's explanation in astonishment, Qiu Changtian, who realized that he had failed four times, began to ponder silently again.
