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, and not a single bit of it could escape.
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 cold wind blew in the light cage, accompanied by bursts of creepy howls. The black air 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 looked ordinary, without the strange and sinister 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 steel needles.
She frowned slightly, finding it puzzling that the mastermind behind this would install such a crude mechanism on such an evil and sinister object.
Was it to divert attention? The target seemed to be to assassinate the emperor, but in fact it was targeting Xiao Changheng?
Or maybe you want to kill two birds with one stone and have the best of both worlds?
This question had a vague answer when she took apart the ribs of the umbrella and saw a white object embedded in the middle.
Yun Qingqing placed the object in her palm, her eyes turning 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 not have been able to provide support in time.
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 sect in her previous life, no one dared to attack the people she was protecting.
Doing this again and again is simply a provocation!
Yun Qingqing took out the baby bone hairpin, baby bone mirror and the small skull from the space and placed them together with the bone taken from the umbrella.
He took out another bead the size of a pigeon egg, and upon closer inspection, it was found to be tightly wrapped in talisman paper.
It was the last day that Xiao Changheng received 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 the air. The area nearby was still empty and there was no place to stand.
If viewed from a distance, it looks as insignificant 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, 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 instead asked a few indirect questions based on the known information.
Fortunately, she was cautious enough. When a dim star suddenly lit up in the distant starry sky and its brightness continued to increase, she decisively withdrew from the formation and exited the interior.
In reality, Yun Qingqing suddenly opened her eyes, her face turned pale, and her brows were tightly furrowed.
Although the situation was expected, it still made her a little annoyed.
There is a connection between the evil spirits gathered by infant bones and the bad luck, and 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 rely 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, and after a short rest, she entered the interior again.
This time she only started to open the "ground" and quickly calculated several directions.
There are still three materials needed for body refining, and she has never had the time to find them. Now that Xiao Changheng's leg has healed, it is time for her to set off.
The plan was set, she stood up and stretched, then washed up and lay down on the bed.
The exhaustion from the depletion of her 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, and could be described as dazzling 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 beneath 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 in 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.
The warm and comfortable feeling still lingered in her heart, making her feel strangely familiar... and nostalgic.
What is it exactly?
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 slowly exhaled, dispelling Qiao'er's doubts.
"Miss, I'm glad you're okay," Qiao'er said, relieved. She immediately remembered what she had to report. "Miss, the prince invites you to have breakfast with him."
Yun Qingqing's expression 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 holding the chopsticks, without even raising her head, she picked up a bun and started eating.
Xiao Changheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her, chuckled softly and walked in.
Qiao'er had already stood up, removed her own bowl and chair, quickly set up a new one, and smiled like an aunt:
"Your Highness, please sit down! The young lady 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 before you talk nonsense?"
Qiao'er smiled and took the food box swiftly, placing the assortment of snacks and side dishes inside on the table.
Xiao Changheng sat down next to Yun Qingqing without any hesitation and placed 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 Nan Zheng 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 entirely sure, but I discovered that the prince and the princess seemed to have some kind of agreement. But just as the prince's leg healed, the princess started asking for a divorce..."
"Divorce?!"
Qiao'er almost screamed out loud, but Nan Zheng covered her mouth with his hand.
"Auntie, please 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...Alas!"
He paused, sighed and said:
"It turns out the princess's marriage was fake. Now that the prince's eyes and legs have been healed, the princess wants him to fulfill his promise and divorce, but the prince disagrees and shows her a few mosquitoes..."
"Mosquito?" Qiao'er looked confused.
"Yes, because of these mosquitoes, the princess didn't 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 didn't know, of course, 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 everything in front of her and stood up to leave.
Xiao Changheng stood up, pulled her back, and sighed:
"Qingqing, I was wrong about what happened last time. Please don't be angry, okay?"
Yun Qingqing stopped moving, turned around and looked at him directly:
"That……"
Before she could utter the words "divorce agreement", she suddenly stopped, her eyes flashed, and her brows furrowed.
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 couldn't 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's face was solemn. After thinking for a moment, he asked:
"Are you accompanying us 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, her expression becoming 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 serious problem." Yun Qingqing said in a deep voice, "I inferred from Nan Zheng that your group is facing a calamity!"
