Chapter 357 Azure Dragon Illusion
Si Youlin noticed his probing gaze, frowned slightly, and looked away, a hint of disdain flashing across his face.
The old man noticed Si Youlin's hostility towards him, pursed his lips slightly, and then slowly began to explain Liao Shengfeng's identity.
Upon hearing this, Si Youlin's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked suspiciously, "Wudang Sect?"
When Jiang Ran explained the theoretical knowledge to them before, she said that the Wudang School is an important school in the lineage of Taoism. Its doctrines and teachings are exactly the same as those of Taoism a thousand years ago, so it is highly respected by Taoists.
I originally thought that the people of the Wudang Sect would all have an air of otherworldly wisdom and refinement, but I never expected that they would be like this guy in front of me, who looks carefree and extremely unreliable!
Then he suddenly let out a cold sneer: "Him?"
His tone was full of doubt, after all, there was a precedent of that fake Taoist priest, and Si Zuochen had also disappeared because of that incident.
Even now, he is still shaken and can hardly believe such a person of unknown origin.
Liao Shengfeng raised an eyebrow slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips, and chuckled softly, "You don't believe me?"
Si Youlin looked at him coldly, his brows furrowed slightly, and did not respond, but his attitude had already said everything.
Seeing this, Liao Shengfeng tilted his head slightly, looked down at Si Youlin, and said sarcastically, "There's nothing we can do about it. After all, I'm probably the only one who can solve this problem right now."
Si Youlin listened to his rebuttal, his eyes flashed slightly, and then he sneered coldly, "How arrogant!"
Seeing that neither of them would back down, the old man quickly looked at Liao Shengfeng and tried to smooth things over: "Are you confident?"
Upon hearing this, Liao Shengfeng lowered his eyes to look at Jiang Ran, then turned his head to give Si Youlin a meaningful look. He then parted his thin lips and replied in a low voice, "Originally, I was only 60% sure, but now I am 100% sure."
"Really?!" The old man's face lit up with joy, and he exclaimed in surprise.
"Grandpa, you actually believe what this kind of person says? If he's not deliberately trying to gain something, then he's just trying to swindle money!"
Si Youlin looked displeased and coldly stared at Liao Shengfeng, clearly indicating that he was not allowed to get close to Jiang Ran.
"Then let's wait and see." Liao Shengfeng tilted his head slightly, looking nonchalant.
Si Youlin was about to retort when the old man spoke up and agreed, "Alright, then I'll trouble you."
"Hmm." Liao Shengfeng responded softly, then pointed lightly at Si Youlin, and slowly said, "However, I have a condition: I need his assistance during this time."
"Ah Lin?" The old man looked surprised and exclaimed, "What can he do to help?"
Liao Shengfeng smiled slightly and remained silent.
Si Youlin frowned slightly, a hint of confusion flashing across his face. After a moment's hesitation, he replied directly, "Okay."
On one hand, it was to expose his disguise, and on the other hand, it was just in case. After all, Jiang Ran was unconscious, and if he wanted to curse her or do something else, they would have no way of knowing.
It's better to just stand by and observe his every move.
Seeing that he readily agreed, Liao Shengfeng didn't say much, but directly asked the old man to leave, declaring that he would start taking measures now.
Upon hearing this, the old man immediately dismissed the servants, giving them some private space.
The room fell silent instantly. Si Youlin stared at him intently. Liao Shengfeng felt the cold, sharp gaze from the side, raised an eyebrow, and looked down at him.
Then she slowly spoke, "She must have taught you metaphysics or something." Although her words were a question, her tone was full of certainty, as if she had already made up her mind.
Upon hearing this, Si Youlin was taken aback, not expecting that he would even know such a thing, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
When they were on the mountain, Jiang Ran did open their third eye and taught them some basics of metaphysics.
Thinking of this, Si Youlin lowered his gaze slightly and replied in a low voice, "It's just the tip of the iceberg, I..."
"That's enough." Liao Shengfeng interrupted abruptly.
He asked the question simply to make sure the man understood the situation, so he wouldn't have to explain the implications to him later.
He then walked to Jiang Ran's bedside and reached into her consciousness. He found it empty, with a faint mist obscuring his view. He tried to probe further, but was forcibly pulled out of his mind.
His heart skipped a beat, and he staggered back two steps.
Seeing this, Si Youlin reached out to help, but seeing that Si Youlin was already standing, his hand froze for a moment, and then he awkwardly put it down.
Then, looking puzzled, he asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Liao Shengfeng's eyes darkened slightly. He hadn't expected that even though Jiang Ran was unconscious, she was still so vigilant.
Upon hearing Si Youlin's question, Liao Shengfeng looked up at him seriously and saw that he was surrounded by spiritual energy, with the faint aura of a blue dragon protecting him.
With a slight pursing of his lips, he said in a deep voice, "She is currently suffering from a backlash of spiritual energy and may be trapped in another space. However, I cannot enter her consciousness to investigate. I can only rely on your help."
Si Youlin understood the gist of what he was saying, his eyes flickered slightly, and he no longer cared about doubting his sincerity, so he asked directly, "What should I do?"
"Cross your legs, perform the Zi-Wu Mudra, and empty your mind of all thoughts," Liao Shengfeng instructed in a deep voice. Si Youlin followed his instructions one by one.
With his mind at ease, spiritual energy spread outwards, and Liao Shengfeng looked down at the increasingly prominent blue radiance surrounding him.
His gaze darkened slightly, his hands moved rapidly forming hand seals, and he uttered incantations. With a sharp shout, a beam of azure light shot out from Si Youlin's body. As the illusion appeared, the figure of an azure dragon gradually came into his sight.
The Azure Dragon roared to the sky, then looked down at him. Although it could not speak, it released an invisible pressure.
Liao Shengfeng showed no sign of backing down, and nodded slightly to him with his hand in a gesture of respect.
Then, holding the talisman, he chanted incantations, closed his eyes slightly, and with a solemn expression, he shouted sharply: "Imperial decree!"
The talisman in his hand burned out instantly, and at the same time, the Azure Dragon's form changed unpredictably, heading straight for Liao Shengfeng.
Seeing this, Liao Shengfeng slowly placed his hand on Jiang Ran's forehead...
At this moment, within Jiang Ran's consciousness, she looked at the extremely familiar little flower in front of her, and her doubts deepened. The little flower seemed to have a bewitching power, making her stop here.
Just then, a dragon's roar suddenly came from afar, interrupting her thoughts. Turning her head, she saw a young man riding a blue dragon, soaring down from the sky.
Jiang Ran raised her eyes to look closely, her gaze darkening slightly. She parted her thin lips and slowly uttered, "Azure Dragon?"
Si Youlin possesses the aura of the Azure Dragon. Logically speaking, the Azure Dragon should not leave his side. How could it be controlled by others?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran frowned slightly and looked at the man seriously. Before she could ask a question, she heard him say coldly, "Dreams are nothingness. How long do you plan to stay here?"
With a shout, Jiang Ran snapped back to reality. When she looked up again, the scene before her vanished instantly, as if everything had been an illusion or a dream.
Looking up, a gap had indeed been opened in the distant sky.
Everything was a reminder to her that what she had just experienced was real, not an illusion.
Jiang Ran's eyes flashed, and she instantly realized the problem. The reason she fell into a coma after the backlash was so that she would gradually lose herself in the dream and forget her purpose.
They mistakenly believed she had always lived there, thus dispelling her intention to try to regain her senses.
I was already on the verge of sinking into depravity, but the arrival of that person reminded me from the outside world and lifted my self-imposed restrictions.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran, to prevent any further unforeseen events, quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations. As a flash of light appeared before her eyes, she seized the opportunity to break free from her shackles.
Jiang Ran faintly heard the sound of sobbing. She felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Si Youlin lying by the bedside, sobbing softly.
Jiang Ran had never seen him like this before, and a look of surprise flashed across her face. Then she asked softly, "Why are you crying?"
Si Youlin was startled when he heard the sound. He quickly turned around and saw that Jiang Ran had already woken up, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.
Upon seeing this, Si Youlin stopped crying abruptly, his face lit up with joy, and he exclaimed in surprise, "You're awake!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something, turned around and glared angrily at Liao Shengfeng, coldly questioning, "Then why did you tell me that her soul had already dissipated, that it was too late, and that all that remained was a body?!"
