Chapter 251 Heavenly Tribulation
But at the moment when the black gas spread, the formation on the table suddenly emitted a strong golden light.
The golden lines formed a light cage with the edge of the round table as the range, trapping the black air firmly inside, without any trace of it escaping.
Yun Qingqing's eyes shone brightly, and she clasped her hands together and pointed them at the center of the umbrella.
"net!"
Suddenly, a strong chilly wind blew in the light cage, accompanied by bursts of creepy howls. The black gas gradually dissipated, and finally only the main body of the bamboo umbrella remained.
Yun Qingqing removed the formation, and the bamboo umbrella lost its support and fell down, and she caught it in her hand.
At this moment, the bamboo umbrella looks ordinary, without the strange and gloomy aura it had before.
Yun Qingqing carefully observed the structure of the umbrella and soon discovered a not very hidden mechanism, which was the device used to shoot out steel needles.
She frowned slightly, finding it puzzling that the mastermind behind this would install such a crude mechanism on such an evil object.
Was it to divert attention? The target seemed to be to assassinate the emperor, but was actually targeting Xiao Changheng?
Or do you want to kill two birds with one stone and have the best of both worlds?
This question was vaguely answered when she took apart the ribs of the umbrella and saw a white object embedded in the middle.
Yun Qingqing placed the object in the palm of her hand, and her eyes turned cold.
The fourth infant bone.
No wonder when Chu Jingyan controlled the puppet princess to take action, he did not use Yin Qi attack at the beginning, but disguised the bamboo umbrella as an ordinary hidden weapon.
The purpose was to wait for Xiao Changheng to make a move so that he could attack him at close range and catch him off guard!
Once the hidden weapon in front is repelled, the Yin Qi will be subconsciously regarded as poisonous smoke, but it cannot be dispersed by the palm wind formation at all!
If she hadn't happened to be experienced and recognized the signs of Tiangong Yansheng and had been prepared in advance, she would have been too late to provide support.
Regardless of whether the other party wants to kill two birds with one stone or not, Xiao Changheng is his target that he is determined to obtain!
Yun Qingqing's face darkened.
Even though there were many talented people and masters in the Xuanmen in the previous life, no one dared to attack the people she was protecting.
This happens again and again, it's simply a provocation!
Yun Qingqing took out the infant bone hairpin, infant bone mirror and the small skull from the space and put them together with the bone taken from the umbrella.
He took out another bead the size of a pigeon egg, and upon closer inspection one could see that it was tightly wrapped in talisman paper.
It was the last day that Xiao Changheng was receiving treatment for his leg, and she collected the evil spirit beads.
Yun Qingqing spread out several bone tools in front of her, took the evil bead in her hand, sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and entered the inner scene.
Now her inner scene is no longer the original vast void, but a vast universe.
However, the sea of stars was infinitely far away, and the woman was sitting cross-legged in mid-air. The nearby space was still empty and there was no place to stand.
If viewed from a distance, it looks as inconspicuous as a speck of dust in the universe.
In front of her were those bone tools, and the evil bead was still in her hand.
Yun Qingqing opened her eyes in the inner scene, and with a movement of her hand seals, the three arrays of heaven, earth and man slowly unfolded one after another, and finally formed a huge ultimate divine disk in the space.
Although she cast the divination in a rage, she was still very careful. She did not directly calculate the origin of the evil bead, but asked a few questions indirectly based on the known information.
Fortunately, she was cautious enough. When a dim star suddenly lit up in the distance of the starry sky and its brightness continued to increase, she decisively withdrew from the formation and exited the interior scene.
In reality, Yun Qingqing suddenly opened her eyes, her face turned pale, and her brows were tightly knitted.
Although the situation was expected, it still made her a little annoyed.
There is a connection between the evil spirits gathered in infant bones and the bad luck, but the truth behind it is indeed not enough for her to calculate with her current strength.
In her new life, her cultivation speed was far beyond that of ordinary people in this world, but it was still too slow for her.
Now I am stuck in a bottleneck period and I must refine my body as soon as possible before I can start the next stage.
However, she could no longer count on the bastard who was plotting against her, so she had better just collect the materials for body training and proceed step by step.
Yun Qingqing calmed herself down, put away some bone tools and talisman beads, took a short rest, and then entered the interior again.
This time she only started to open the "ground" and quickly calculated several directions.
There are only three materials needed for body refining, and she has not had the time to look for them before. Now that Xiao Changheng's leg has healed, it is time for her to set off.
The plan was set, she stood up, stretched, washed up quickly, and lay down on the bed.
The fatigue from the consumption of spiritual energy hit her, and she soon fell asleep.
…
Yun Qingqing looked at the foggy and bottomless cliff in front of her and realized that she had entered a dream she had never seen before.
The scenery in the distance was extremely beautiful, one could describe it as glittering and colorful... Even in her previous life, before the catastrophe, when the world was full of spiritual energy, she had never seen such a scenery.
She looked around in a daze and finally found that she was some distance from the ground.
And underneath him was a beam as pure as jade... No, this wasn't some beam...
She suddenly felt something in her heart and turned around and looked up.
The image that came into her eyes made her eyes widen involuntarily.
…
…
The sky was getting light.
When Yun Qingqing opened her eyes on her bed, there was a faint smile on the corner of her lips.
She stared blankly at the familiar ceiling, slowly sat up, and raised her hand blankly to her heart.
She still couldn't remember anything about last night's dream, but she knew clearly that it was a different dream from the previous ones.
She still had that warm, comfortable feeling in her heart, which she felt strangely familiar... and nostalgic.
What is it?
Yun Qingqing sat there feeling lost for a while, until Qiao'er's voice brought her back to her senses.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" Qiao'er looked at her nervously.
"It's nothing, just a dream." Yun Qingqing let out a breath slowly, dispelling Qiao'er's doubts.
"Miss, I'm glad you're okay," Qiao'er was relieved and immediately remembered what she had to report. "Miss, the prince invites you to have breakfast with him."
Yun Qingqing's face darkened slightly:
"No, we'll have breakfast in our own yard."
She gets angry when she sees that man now, and eating at the same table with him affects her appetite.
"Oh..." Qiao'er saw that she was in a bad mood, hesitated for a moment and didn't try to persuade her anymore.
Breakfast was served in the small dining hall in the courtyard.
Yun Qingqing never puts on airs. On weekdays, when there are no outsiders around, she and Qiao'er always eat at the same table.
But just as the two of them sat down, Xiao Changheng arrived, followed by Nan Zheng carrying a food box.
Yun Qingqing paused with her chopsticks in her hand, without even raising her head, she picked up a bun and started eating.
Xiao Changheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her, then chuckled and walked in.
Qiao'er had already stood up, removed her own bowl, chopsticks and chair, quickly put a new set in place, and smiled like an aunt:
"Your Highness, please take a seat! Miss was just talking about you."
Yun Qingqing turned around and glared at Qiao'er, her face full of expression saying "Don't you even think about drafting before you talk nonsense?"
Qiao'er smiled and swiftly took the food box and placed the assorted snacks and side dishes inside on the table.
Xiao Changheng sat down next to Yun Qingqing without any hesitation and put a crab meat soup on the plate in front of her.
"This is the new chef's specialty. Do you like it?"
Yun Qingqing ignored him and drank her porridge in silence.
Qiao'er and Nanzheng exchanged a few glances silently, and then the prince waved his hand, and the two of them immediately retreated quietly out of the house.
Qiao'er closed the door tightly, pulled Nanzheng a little further away, and then asked in a low voice:
"What's going on? Did your prince make our young lady angry?"
Nan Zheng touched the back of his head:
"This matter...it's not entirely the prince's fault..."
"What's going on?" Qiao'er stared.
Nan Zheng sighed and said:
"I'm not really sure, but I found out that the prince and the princess seemed to have some kind of agreement. But just when the prince's leg was healed, the princess wanted a divorce..."
"Divorce?!"
Qiao'er almost screamed out loud, but Nan Zheng covered her mouth with his hand.
"Auntie, keep your voice down!"
Qiao'er nodded quickly, pulled his hand away, pinched her waist and asked quietly:
"Did your prince do something to offend Miss? Otherwise, why would Miss want a divorce?"
Nan Zheng's face was filled with black lines:
"How is that possible! I heard them say that they had already made an appointment from the beginning...Alas!"
He paused, sighed and said:
"It turns out that the princess' marriage was fake. Now that the prince's eyes and legs have been healed, the princess wants the prince to fulfill the agreement and divorce, but the prince disagrees and makes a few mosquitoes for her to see..."
"Mosquito?" Qiao'er looked confused.
"Yes, because of these mosquitoes, the princess failed to get a divorce, but she was so angry that she ignored the prince for several days."
Nan Zheng recounted what happened that day and asked Qiao'er if she knew what had happened.
Qiao Er certainly didn't know, but she glared at Nan Zheng confidently:
"Anyway, it must be your prince's fault for making the young lady angry! Humph!"
Nanzheng: “…”
In the dining hall.
Yun Qingqing just kept eating. She didn't move even when Xiao Changheng picked up some food for her. She gobbled up the food in front of her and stood up to leave.
Xiao Changheng stood up, grabbed her and sighed:
"Qingqing, I was wrong last time. Please don't be angry, okay?"
Yun Qingqing stopped moving, turned around and looked at him:
"That……"
Before she could utter the words "divorce agreement", she suddenly stopped, her eyes flashed, and her brows frowned.
Seeing her unfriendly expression, Xiao Changheng tightened his fingertips slightly and closed his eyes.
"I'm going to be away for a while, but before I leave..."
"Where are you going?" Yun Qingqing interrupted him.
Xiao Changheng was unable to say the rest of the words. After hesitating for a moment, he chose to answer her question first.
"Pingzhou may not be back soon, so..."
"Wait a minute!"
Yun Qingqing looked solemn, and after thinking for a moment, he asked:
"Are you accompanying me on the southern expedition?"
Seeing him nod, Yun Qingqing immediately called Nan Zheng in.
When she saw Nan Zheng, her brows furrowed even more tightly, she stretched out her hands and calculated a few times, and her expression became more solemn.
"How could this happen..." Yun Qingqing murmured to herself.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Changheng also took it seriously:
"What's wrong? What's the problem?"
"This is a big problem." Yun Qingqing said in a deep voice, "I inferred from Nan Zheng that your group is in danger of a disaster!"
