Sleeping Valley (9)
The dragon vein is of vital importance. If done well, it can drive away pollution and erosion and help those trapped missing persons. If done poorly, both the missing persons and them will be in big trouble, so Jiang Yu did not dare to act rashly.
It was not until the next morning when the father and daughter brought in things again that Jiang Yu was ready.
"Will it really work?" Yu Shu was skeptical.
Jiang Yu simply nodded without replying. He then placed four talismans on each side of the bridge and pulled Yu Shu away.
There was no movement on the bridge. Yu Shu asked in confusion, "What then?"
Jiang Yu stared at Yu Shu for several seconds, then asked bitterly, "Do you trust me?"
Yu Shu didn't hesitate at all and responded reflexively: "Of course, just say it."
"Come closer."
The shadows of the two people were connected together, and the silhouettes of their chests touching each other looked quite intimate in the soft light.
Yu Shu suddenly felt that the air he inhaled was slightly warmer. He thought there were no other symptoms, but he was slapped in the face the next second.
"Okay."
There was nothing wrong with Yu Shu's eyes. From his perspective, Jiang Yu didn't open his mouth to speak, but his voice went straight to the bottom of his heart.
"Ventriloquism?"
This idea just emerged from Yu Shu's mind, and before it came to his lips, he had already spoken it out loud.
Jiang Yu curled his lips and chuckled, then said calmly, "A small spell."
Empathy allows two connected persons to communicate without any obstacles, but the prerequisite is that they fully trust each other. Otherwise, not only will it not be effective, but the perception ability of both parties will become dulled for a certain period of time.
No one knew what would happen next. If one of them became a blind and communicative villager, and then encountered an accident and had to fend for themselves, it would be even more dangerous. That was why Jiang Yu used this little spell.
Yu Shu smiled in surprise and said, "How much more do you have that I don't know about?"
"A lot." Jiang Yu stopped talking again. Although it was convenient to communicate without opening his mouth, there were some things that should not be said at the right time and he still needed to control himself so as not to scare people.
"I want to learn this." Yu Shu had an inexplicable liking for this little spell. He didn't know if he could learn it, but he still asked.
"You have to pay tuition." Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled mysteriously.
"Okay." Yu Shu didn't notice anything wrong and agreed without thinking.
Jiang Yu smiled without saying anything, took out a new talisman, gestured in the air, and wrote a word that looked like a symbol.
Dazzling lightning suddenly descended, and a huge rumbling sound made people's ears pierce. In an instant, the solid stone bridge broke into pieces of various sizes and fell into the emerald green river, splashing countless crown-shaped water droplets and mist.
The rainbow is right above the bridge and looks like a door.
But in an instant, Yu Shu's gaze shifted from Caihong back to his side. He could no longer see Jiang Yu, but he could feel that there was someone next to him.
"Jiang Yu?" Yu Shu thought to himself, and randomly touched his empty right hand.
"Fortunately, I made preparations." Jiang Yu replied.
He couldn't see Yu Shu either, but the spiritual and clean yin energy on Yu Shu was particularly recognizable, and he could almost lock onto his specific location.
"What's the situation over there?" Yu Shu said nervously. The bridge was clearly struck by lightning, but the bridge in front of him was intact.
"The village is desolate," Jiang Yu responded. "There's no sign of human activity."
Yu Shu frowned. The situation he encountered was completely different from that of Jiang Yu.
Not far away, there were many residents dressed simply, but there were also quite a few people in fashionable clothes mixed in. At first glance, they looked like people from two different worlds.
Yu Shu walked forward and didn't notice someone rushing out from the side, and he had no time to dodge.
"Hiss..." Yu Shu took a breath of cold air. The expected collision and fall did not happen as expected. The man went straight through him.
But something was wrong. If he was not mistaken, then there must be some Taoist force that helped him.
The people around him couldn't see him, nor could they hear his voice or movements. Could it be that the power was born from the void?
Jiang Yu heard Yu Shu's hoarse voice and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" His voice was tense, like a guitar string that was suddenly tightened after being slack just a moment ago.
"It's okay. There are a lot of people here, but they can't see or hear me." Yu Shu paused: "They even passed through me."
"Are you feeling any discomfort?" Jiang Yu could feel Yu Shu ahead, but the village was very desolate, with no villagers to be seen.
Yu Shu shook his head out of habit, and after a moment's glance, he realized that Jiang Yu couldn't see him. He said with a hint of disappointment, "I'm not feeling unwell. Wait a minute, I found something."
He glanced at the furnishings in the house, which was the retro Hong Kong style that was very popular on the Internet some time ago.
He moved closer to the group of people and heard whispers of an unfamiliar language. He looked up and saw that it was the group of people who were dressed very fashionably.
"The plan will not go ahead unless they move out."
"In the face of life and death, principles will naturally collapse."
Yu Shu studied a lot of Japanese medical literature during his university years and could roughly understand their conversations.
He knew immediately that their plan was to destroy the dragon vein in the valley.
"Jiang Yu, are you still there?" Yu Shu thought.
"I'm here, you say."
Yu Shu briefly summarized it and told Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu took a breath and was silent for a moment before saying, "We are on different timelines. What you saw should be the timeline where they scouted the location."
"And the timeline here is uncertain, it's desolate, there's no one."
"Then can we go back?" Yu Shu asked a soul-searching question.
They are in a misaligned timeline, unable to see or touch each other. Even if they can feel each other, they still can't control their anxiety and panic.
"I will definitely take you back."
Jiang Yu's calm and composed tone was the best reassurance, and Yu Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
"I saw them!" Yu Shu exclaimed.
"Missing person?" Jiang Yu asked.
"It's those two kids."
Yu Shu saw the little girl and the little boy. They rushed out of the alley and chased each other by the river with innocent smiles on their faces.
But the two children seemed to sense Yu Shu. They stopped and slowly walked towards him.
"You're here~" A childish voice interrupted their conversation.
"I..." Yu Shu started to speak and then fell silent.
Jiang Yu was stunned. A chill spread from the soles of his feet, making his vision slightly dark.
Those two little kids can actually interrupt the empathy spell.
Jiang Yu's mind raced. The dragon vein was infected but not completely damaged. The current chaotic timeline must be the dragon vein's cry for help. Dragon veins were incredibly spiritual. If they could locate the dragon's head, they might be able to communicate with it. As long as the dragon vein responded and provided more detailed guidance, the problem could be easily resolved.
After calming down, he remembered that he had brought Si Yangyu with him.
Another ability of Siyangyu is treasure hunting, and dragon veins are invisible and intangible natural treasures that can benefit the local land and water and maintain the country's destiny.
Jiang Yu dripped a drop of blood from his fingertip, Si Yangyu opened his mouth wide and swallowed it quickly, and after a few seconds he spat out a bright red bead.
Just as Si Yangyu was about to shake his body to give instructions, a pair of invisible hands pushed the beads back into the fish's mouth.
"You're back." A strange voice came out of nowhere and went straight into Jiang Yu's mind.
"Don't waste your energy and fingertips. There are more important things that require you to complete them."
"Who?" Jiang Yu looked around and became alert.
"I'm Zhu Yumin, the younger brother of the scenic area owner. Don't you remember me?" Still, I could only hear his voice but not see him.
"I don't even know you, how could I remember you?" Jiang Yu's voice was cold.
Although he was certain that Zhu Yumin was still alive, he had not expected to encounter him in such a chaotic timeline. Therefore, his timeline should be ten years ago.
But it doesn’t make sense that Zhu Yumin knew him.
"You said the same thing when we first met," Zhu Yumin continued, "The dragon head is on the hill northeast of the village. You'd better hurry, or else Yu Shu will be carried on a red sedan chair and thrown into the river before dark."
Jiang Yu: ???
There are two ways to remove pollution: one is to exorcise it, and the other is to dilute and reduce the pollution. The choice of dragon vein is to use the physique of the technique to achieve self-rescue.
No wonder there was no one on the bamboo raft sedan they saw, because Yu Shu had not yet reached that timeline.
Jiang Yu ran away without responding to Zhu Yumin.
The closer you get to the dragon head, the stronger the turbid spiritual energy becomes.
In an instant, Jiang Yu understood what Zhu Yumin meant by the first encounter.
His master had indeed taught him a spell that could only be successfully performed in a place with chaotic spiritual energy - the Transmigration Spell.
As the name suggests, it uses the aura of chaos to travel through different timelines in a certain place, but because it is uncontrollable which node to go to, the danger is greatly increased.
Fortunately, Shu's physique is to the dragon vein of the river valley as a lighthouse is to the vast ocean. It is not difficult to go to that timeline. It's just that this is his first time to use such a difficult spell in practice, and he is not sure about it.
He used a peach wood sword to draw the rune array eye on the ground, and then drew a new set of talisman paper and pasted them on the sixteen directions of the magic circle.
The chaotic spiritual energy became fiercer, like a huge wave that swallowed him up. A strong feeling of suffocation and choking surrounded him, as if he was trapped in a huge bubble, tossing and turning with the waves.
"We can't let them succeed. It's fine if my brother isn't sober, but I can't just sit there and watch things get to a point where there's no way forward."
It was Zhu Yumin's voice.
"Jiang Yu, you should be able to do it. Let me go for them."
Jiang Yu's vision finally cleared up again. The surroundings had not changed much. The houses were still dilapidated and overgrown with weeds and shrubs, and the whole place was barren.
"For them?" Jiang Yu rubbed his temples to relieve the dizziness.
Zhu Yumin has a physical form. He is about 1.75 meters tall, wears a pair of round-framed glasses, is gentle and fair-skinned, and a little thin.
Zhu Yumin nodded anxiously: "Well, let me speak for those two kids. Only when they come out can we attract capable people, that is, you and Yu Shu. Only in this way can we preserve the dragon vein here."
Jiang Yu was a little confused.
Zhu Yumin pointed anxiously at the large stone bridge spanning the emerald green river. "The little girl in red and the little boy in blue are twins, a boy and a girl. They are also the foundation of the bridge."
Jiang Yu's pupils trembled slightly.
A living person was actually going to replace two children as a living stake?!
