Chapter 107: Broken
Although she had just experienced the illusion, Zhong Nianyao's heart was still very calm.
In fact, in her previous life in the Kingdom of Li, whether it was the maid's betrayal, the monarch's coercion, or the pressure from the officials, none of them caused any pressure on her. It can be said that if she wanted to stay out of it, she could do so.
But in the end, she chose to sacrifice herself. This wasn't because anyone forced her to do so, but for the sake of the people. Her sacrifice allowed the people to live, and she had no regrets.
Therefore, even if it happens again, she will not feel resentful.
Perhaps it was because she had a rather cold personality! So she didn't take those betrayals and persecutions seriously at all.
She even said that if it weren't for her master's years of teaching and admonition, she would never have made such a sacrifice for the common people. She did this simply because she hoped that her master's spirit could rest in peace!
After all, in her previous life, if her master had not picked her up and spent so much effort to train and teach her, she would have died long ago.
Having regained consciousness, Zhong Nianyao glanced at the others and noticed that none of them seemed well. With the exception of Lu Yichen, who looked normal, the others all wore expressions of pain to varying degrees. Zhou Yifu, in particular, had blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
"Miss Zhong!"
As soon as he saw Zhong Nianyao back to normal, Uncle Li stepped forward with an anxious look on his face, "Please help! They-"
Although he was fine, one can imagine how anxious he was when he saw others start to show painful expressions as time went by.
Fortunately, he saw that Zhong Nian Yao had regained consciousness, so he immediately stepped forward to ask for help!
Uncle Li was interrupted by Zhong Nianyao before he could finish his words. "Don't worry, it's okay!"
I don’t know why, but after hearing Zhong Nianyao’s confident words, Uncle Li’s heart calmed down!
Zhong Nianyao glanced at the mural on the wall and sneered, "What a trifle!"
Then, she took out a piece of talisman paper from her bag and began to mutter the spell, "The heaven and earth are natural, the foul air is dispersed, the mysterious void in the cave, the bright Taiyuan, break--"
As the words fell, the people who were trapped in the illusion immediately recovered. Just waking up, there was still a hint of confusion in their eyes.
"Are you all awake now?"
The clear sound made everyone's eyes clear.
When others looked at Zhong Nian Yao, their eyes also changed drastically.
When the master wanted to bring Zhong Nianyao here, he had said that she was a Heavenly Master who could help them. But even so, they did not take her too seriously. They just admired her for not holding them back.
Now that they have truly seen Zhong Nianyao's abilities, they know what kind of person she is.
Ignoring everyone else, Zhong Nianyao's gaze fell on Lu Yichen.
For some reason, although Lu Yichen was also trapped in the illusion, she always felt that this was unlikely.
"Is there something wrong?" Lu Yichen looked at Zhong Nianyao, a smile flashing in his eyes, "Why are you staring at me?"
"nothing!"
Zhong Nianyao retracted her gaze, then shook her head. She looked around, glanced at the others, and asked, "How do you feel now?"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Joseph patted his chest, looking frightened. "Just now I thought I was really going to die. I didn't expect that I was actually trapped in an illusion!"
"If you died in the illusion just now, then you are really dead!"
Zhong Nianyao's voice was calm, simply stating a fact, "Even injuries sustained in illusions will manifest in reality."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else couldn't help but shudder!
"It seems that this general's tomb is really full of dangers!"
Zhou Yifu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and swallowed a few pills before his expression improved. "We've only just begun, and we've already encountered such danger!"
"This is just the beginning!" Zhong Nianyao said calmly, "There are many more dangers to come!"
Suddenly, everyone's expressions became serious and more cautious.
Zhong Nianyao glanced at the mural and continued, "Actually, this mural was originally just an ordinary mural. It's just that over the years, some evil spirits took up residence here, and that's why it became like this."
"You mean—" Lu Yichen's expression remained unchanged, "This wasn't designed by the general, but was later invaded by an external evil spirit, which is why we were dragged into this illusion."
"Yeah." Zhong Nianyao nodded. "This general's tomb is filled with a lot of yin and evil spirits. It must be that the evil spirits around here have taken a fancy to this place, but they don't dare to go too deep, so they choose to live here."
"Keep going!"
The group continued to move forward. Because of the lesson learned from the previous mural, everyone was more vigilant on the road ahead.
However, this section of the road was calm and nothing strange happened.
However, after they had walked for a while, they suddenly heard a burst of voices, and everyone immediately became alert.
Hearing the footsteps coming from not far away, a hint of understanding flashed in Zhong Nianyao's eyes.
It seems that they were not the only ones who entered the tomb. There were others as well. I just don't know if they were tomb robbers or archaeologists.
She was more inclined to the latter. After all, if it was truly discovered through archaeological excavations, it would certainly cause quite a stir. Furthermore, if the general's tomb had been discovered, it would surely be widely reported in the news.
Everyone's eyes were on Lu Yichen, obviously waiting for him to make a decision.
"Keep going!"
As if he didn't hear the voices, Lu Yichen continued walking forward.
The others followed suit, but before moving on, Zhong Nianyao gave each of them a talisman that could conceal their true appearance. That is, their true appearance would not be clearly visible to others, but would be altered in the eyes of outsiders.
Everyone else was very interested in Zhong Nian Yao's talismans and began to ask if there were any other talismans.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhong Nianyao also promoted her own talismans and made a small profit. She also promised them that she would give each of them a peach blossom talisman when they returned.
