Chapter 519 It’s too late
The man stood on the island in the lake with his back to this side.
Yun Qingqing recognized the figure in the dark brocade robe with gold patterns at a glance.
Xiao Changheng seemed to sense the movement behind him. He slowly turned around and looked back, quietly watching her getting closer and closer, and finally landing in front of him.
Yun Qingqing met his gaze and was suddenly stunned.
The man in front of me still had the most familiar appearance, but there was something obviously different about him.
The look he gave her was as deep as a bottomless well. The water at the bottom of the well was filled with relief and joy, but deeper inside it seemed to be filled with endless longing.
Yun Qingqing stood there staring at him, not knowing how to react for a moment.
There were only three steps between the two of them, but neither of them moved.
Finally, Xiao Changheng slowly walked up to her, raised his hand, and gently stroked her face.
“Qingqing…”
Yun Qingqing's heart skipped a beat, she pursed her lips, and subconsciously spoke softly:
"Um?"
Xiao Changheng suddenly grabbed her into his arms, rested his chin on her shoulder, and spoke in a deep voice in her ear:
"I'm sorry... I'm late..."
Yun Qingqing suddenly came back to her senses, but was even more confused than before.
She frowned tightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
"Who are you?" Yun Qingqing grabbed his shoulders and tried to push him away.
But he found that the other person's body suddenly sank and he was about to fall down.
Yun Qingqing's expression started to frighten her, and she immediately pulled him back into her arms, only to find that Xiao Changheng's eyes were closed and he was unconscious.
She frowned tightly, immediately took his pulse to check his body, and then checked the black jade pendant on his body.
The Xuan jade pendant was intact, and the other person was also safe and sound, and did not look like he was possessed by anything.
Yun Qingqing looked at the unconscious man in her arms, and quickly went over everything that had happened today in her mind. She was unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
After a long time, she finally sighed slowly, hugged Xiao Changheng and sat down, pinched her fingertips to feel the golden light, and gently tapped his brow.
Yun Qingqing used the soul-searching technique to enter Xiao Changheng's consciousness again.
The moment Yun Qingqing entered his consciousness, she noticed undercurrents surging around her. The invisible force seemed to be trying to repel her consciousness. The bizarre light and shadow of her memories became even more blurred, as if she was guarding against something.
Yun Qingqing felt even more complicated.
This person's spiritual awareness is clearly much stronger than before. Not to mention far surpassing ordinary people, even many practitioners cannot compare to it.
But in fact, as soon as they met, Yun Qingqing deliberately used her spiritual eyes to observe his bones, and the answer was still nothing.
But he was clearly recognized by Wang Qing, and now he has such a powerful spiritual sense, not to mention that the mess his two disciples worked together to do was also aimed at this person.
Taking all these signs together, it becomes particularly strange that Xiao Changheng did not cultivate his physique.
Yun Qingqing had some guesses in her mind, but even in the era two thousand years ago when many powerful people emerged, she had never heard of any method that could completely remove the root bones.
In other words, the root bones are bound to a person's soul. As long as the soul is the same person, no matter how many times they are reincarnated, the aptitude for cultivation will not change much.
Yun Qingqing was full of thoughts as she walked down to the bottom level following Xiao Changheng's consciousness.
Not long after the initial obstacle, the sea of consciousness suddenly became unobstructed, leaving her with a path to the bottom of her consciousness.
Yun Qingqing couldn't describe her mood, so she simply didn't think too much about it. She quickened her pace and sank all the way to the bottom of his consciousness.
Finally she came to the ball of light again and dived in without hesitation.
The light and shadows in front of her eyes changed, and she really came to that fairyland-like scenery again.
Just a while ago, Yun Qingqing personally experienced the same scenery in the illusion, and the illusion was filled with incredibly rich spiritual energy.
The scenery in front of me is still the same scenery, but there is no spiritual energy at all. The vision and feeling are not unified, and there is an inexplicable weirdness.
This was not the first time that Yun Qingqing had experienced this kind of weirdness, but precisely because she had just been in another fantasy world filled with rich spiritual energy, the weird feeling here was particularly obvious at this moment.
She sighed softly, not bothering to think too much, and turned to look at the cold white jade tree on the cliff.
She pursed her lips slightly, without hesitation, quickly stepped forward and gently stroked her hand on the tree trunk, then looked up at the treetops quietly.
The trunk is as smooth and delicate as ever, with a texture like white jade.
But after waiting for a while, there was no response around. Yun Qingqing frowned slightly. Every time she came here, as long as she came into contact with this jade tree for a while, she would suddenly return to reality, and Xiao Changheng would be awakened at the same time.
But this time, she stroked the tree trunk for obviously longer than before, but there was still no response.
Yun Qingqing lowered her head and thought for a moment, took a deep breath, slowly walked forward, put her face against the tree trunk, closed her eyes and felt it carefully.
After a long while, she opened her eyes again. The cliff was still in front of her, and in the distance was a gorgeous, glittering fairyland scenery.
Yun Qingqing: ...
She had originally intended to get straight to the point and resolve the issue quickly, but the more anxious she became, the less effective it became.
Yun Qingqing calmed herself down, looked up at the treetops, and planned to jump up and sit on a branch... She remembered that there was a flower bud on the tree before, so she planned to go up and take a look.
At this moment, she suddenly opened her eyes slightly.
Between the trees that looked like white jade, a pure white bud was gradually unfolding, with petals spreading out layer by layer until a huge flower bloomed, which was so beautiful that it was beyond words.
While Yun Qingqing was stunned, suddenly a breeze blew by, and the flower seemed to come alive. The petals trembled slightly, slowly fell from the branches and leaves, and came towards her in an elegant arc.
Yun Qingqing subconsciously stretched out her hand and was about to catch it.
Suddenly, everything in front of my eyes went dark and then bright.
When she came to her senses again, she had woken up in the same place, holding Xiao Changheng in her arms, and his long and thick eyelashes were trembling, as if he was about to open his eyes at the next moment.
Yun Qingqing thought about what had just happened and was still in a trance for a long time, until the man in her arms slowly opened his eyes and spoke softly:
"Is this... escaping from the illusion?"
Yun Qingqing came back to his senses and was stunned for a moment before realizing that the illusions he was talking about were not the ones he experienced alone later, but the illusion of the chaotic space under the cliff at the beginning.
Her frown deepened.
"...What do you remember?" She lowered her eyes and looked at Xiao Changheng with a serious expression.
Xiao Changheng met her gaze, was slightly stunned, then sat up and rubbed his eyebrows.
"I..." he said hesitantly, "I just... suddenly couldn't find you in that dark space, and then... I ended up here."
