Because every time Nie Yinzhi went back to the past, she fell into a different time point, sometimes the span was very short, and sometimes it was dozens or hundreds of years. She had no idea whether Changyin Island would still be there when she came next time, so she immersed herself in this large illusion array almost day and night.
While Gu Jiang was listening to her master chanting, she spread her consciousness and carefully studied every plant, pavilion, and building in the illusion, and then matched these scenes with the inscription characters in the array to find out the rules. After
studying those static objects thoroughly, she tried to attach herself to the bodies of living creatures such as birds, beasts, and cranes to study them. The illusion array of the entire Changyin Island is divided into three layers, and the deepest layer is people.
Nie Yinyi broke through the dense characters in the illusion array layer by layer, analyzed the strokes of the array, and separated the basic runes inside. Her consciousness penetrated into the deepest layer. She was almost dazzled by the inscriptions that changed all the time.
Fortunately, she was an outsider to this time and space, otherwise her consciousness would be sucked in by these characters the moment she entered here.
The innermost array was divided into five parts, corresponding to the five great powers on the five mountains on Changyin Island. They were independent of each other, but unified as a whole. The spiritual power that operated this large illusion came from their true essence.
For some reason, their true essence was imprisoned in this tree, tied to the illusion array on the tree, and difficult to separate.
Nie Yinzhi didn't know how long she stayed in this sea of runes. She had a headache and her consciousness couldn't stand it, so she came out of the illusion array.
She immediately told Gu Jiang about her discovery, "This illusion is maintained by your master and his true essence. The person in front of you is just the incarnation of consciousness. The true essence is imprisoned in the tree. If it is consumed for a long time, it will be exhausted sooner or later."
Gu Jiang was not very surprised, "I know."
Nie Yinzhi felt his emotions, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Maybe I can find a way to separate their true essence."
"A senior brother in the middle seat once wanted to dismantle this formation, but he was beaten up by his master and kicked out of Changyin Island and was never allowed to come back." Gu Jiang looked up at the hollow top of the tree. "The Mijian Tree is a prison. My master and several uncles were imprisoned here because they made mistakes. Their Dharma bodies have merged into the tree. When the tree dies, their true essence will dissipate. They will not leave Changyin Island."
Nie Yinzhi opened her mouth but did not say anything in the end. The tree had already begun to wither, and she thought Gu Jiang must know it.
Gu Jiang sat up, "Do you want to rest? Then I'll take you out for a walk. Changyin Island is very beautiful at night."
"Okay."
Gu Jiang went to the beach. The tide rose at night, hitting the beach again and again. The moon was high in the sky, and the moonlight cast a line of silver frost on the sea.
The petals of the shrub were floating everywhere, falling on the beach and in the sea. The moon was bright in the sky, and the petals on the ground were glittering everywhere, just like fallen stars falling into the mortal world.
Gu Jiang took off his shoes, tied the hem of his shoes, walked barefoot on the beach, strolling on the tide, the sea breeze blowing up his wide sleeves, and his slender fingers appeared and disappeared between his sleeves.
Nie Yinzhi wanted to touch him.
Gu Jiang suddenly paused, turned around and said, "Borrow your hand."
"For what?" Nie Yinzhi blinked in confusion, but still stretched out her hand obediently.
"Hold it with both hands."
Nie Yinzhi followed his instructions, and a ball of fur appeared out of thin air on her clasped palms. The little rabbit shook its ears, hugged her fingertips and licked them.
"Snow rabbit!" Nie Yinzhi held the snow rabbit in front of her, looked at its grape-like black eyes, and said in surprise, "Yes, I can touch your consciousness."
Gu Jiang stood in front of her, lowered her head, and the snow rabbit suddenly stood up from her palm, stepped on Nie Yinzhi's lower jaw with its front paws, and leaned forward with its hind legs, giving her a very difficult rabbit kiss.
Nie Yinzhi was licked on the lips by the snow rabbit's small tongue. He was completely stunned and pressed it into his arms, "What are you doing? This makes me look like a pervert."
Gu Jiang chuckled, "Anyway, I'm the only one who can see it."
Nie Yinzhi glared at him, "So you mean, you really think I'm a pervert?"
Gu Jiang paused in laughter, "Huh?"
"You didn't even refute me." Nie Yinzhi rubbed the rabbit in his arms hard in revenge, "It was you who came close to me, so you are the pervert."
Gu Jiang frowned and breathed heavier, "Yeah, I'm the pervert."
As soon as he finished speaking, the rabbit disappeared from Nie Yinzhi's hand. His consciousness entangled her and instantly dragged her into his spiritual platform.
Gu Jiang left the beach and rushed back to the West Mountain like a gust of wind. He didn't even bother to respond to his master's nagging and went into his room.
As soon as Nie Yin entered the spirit platform, he was trapped in a cotton-like cloud. No, to be precise, it should be a cloud of cotton.
Gu Jiang's spirit platform was no longer pitch black. The light was soft and not dazzling. His soul was wrapped in a ball of fluffy white clouds. His spirit platform was full of soft clouds. Hongye's sword energy dyed the clouds with a touch of rosy color, which was pink and tender.
The white fluff in front of her eyes rose and fell like mist with the fluctuations of her consciousness, but it was softer when it touched her body than the bed covered with cloud velvet quilt in her home.
There was a rabbit-like creature on the large cloud layer.
This was the first time that Nie Yinzhi saw his spirit platform clearly.
A human figure appeared in the white cloud. Before Nie Yinzhi could say anything, he was held in his arms. His neck was held and bitten. Nie Yinzhi's soul immediately felt a slight pain, as if being bitten by sharp fangs.
"Wait..." Nie Yinzhi was caught off guard. When did he become an infant?
Gu Jiang interrupted her, "No wait. I've been waiting for you for three days." Since she started studying the illusion array, she didn't even have time to say a word to him.
In the past, whenever Nie Yinzhi entered Gu Jiang's altar, she would simply be held in his arms to rest. Even though their minds were close, they did not have any extreme reactions. But this time when he touched her, Nie Yinzhi felt like an electric current was running through her body. She was shaking violently and subconsciously dodged backwards, shocked: "It wasn't like this before..."
Gu Jiang pinched her ankle and dragged her back, "What was it like then?"
Consciousness has no fixed form. Nie Yinzhi's body dispersed and turned into a small cloud, hiding in the large cloud in his altar, muttering: "Your altar is so bright, too bright, I think it was better when it was dark before." She was not ready to be in such a bright place.
Gu Jiang's hands were empty, and he couldn't help but smiled and said, "You turn into clouds?" As he spoke, the light in the spirit platform was suppressed, becoming dim and hazy, and Gu Jiang's figure disappeared.
Nie Yinzhi realized that something was wrong, but before she could react, she felt herself being tightly wrapped, and the surrounding clouds penetrated into her consciousness without hindrance.
The originally peaceful clouds gradually began to surge, dissipate, gather, and rise and fall. Although there was no wind, the sea of clouds surged violently like the tide, like a storm.
Nie Yinzhi was swallowed into the sea of clouds without any resistance. Every inch of her consciousness was infected by his breath, and the trembling electric current traveled between the clouds.
She clearly had no body now, but she could still feel her limbs were sore and numb flowing through the seams of her bones. She was about to slide off the bed.
While Nie Yinzhi was in a trance, she seemed to hear Gu Jiang whispering in her ear: "Ayin, you can make it rain."
Her mind was blank in an instant, and she knew nothing.
When she woke up again, her soul had fallen back into her body. She curled up on the soft bed. With a slight movement, the tide still rose up and soaked her skirt.
Nie Yinzhi bit the quilt, her body flushed. "You stinky devil, listen to what you are saying, even your screams can make it rain!
" [Ah, this, this, this, did we watch a whole spiritual intercourse? ? ? ?]
[It's like this, my mom asked me why I was watching the weather forecast, and asked where this place was, why it was so scary, and whether there was a typhoon.]
[I am laughing to death, this is officially certified and very harmonious, devil, you are not good, even the official daddy looks down on you]
[Devil, you are so good! I actually watched a whole episode of Wind and Cloud Changes. If I hadn't heard some sound in my headphones, I would have fallen asleep to the swaying clouds.]
[This part is really hypnotic, the clouds are swaying, get this sleep-aid video]
[God damn, you can even make it rain, is this what I meant? Devil, you are so slutty!]
[It's raining heavily here, I can't even look outside]
[I underestimated the devil, are there any sisters who can count how many tricks they played?]
[Xiao Gu Jiang's soul is in the clouds! And the devil said before that his consciousness embraced Xiao Gu Jiang, doesn't that mean they did it together?]
[How many surprises do you have that I don't know about? Nie
Yinzhi pulled up the quilt to wrap herself up, hiding from the view. She buried herself in the quilt and traced out the golden buds on her wrist. The scattered leaves already had a clear outline. It can be seen that in the twists and turns of the plot, Gu Jiang was indeed gradually gaining the upper hand.
She paused for a long time, and called Chengbi in a muffled voice, asking them to prepare a hot bath for her.
After she packed up and had lunch with her parents, she closed herself in the study to draw the magic array. There were also books on array formations in the ancient scrolls that Gu Jiang had given her before. Nie Yinzhi found them out and studied them in conjunction with the array diagram.
Ever since she knew about the illusion formation on Changyin Island, Nie Yinzhi told him her idea when she entered Gu Jiang's spiritual platform. She wanted to set up an illusion on the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons to realize the ending of the original novel. Although she didn't know if she could deceive the plot, it would not be wrong to give it a try.
Nie Yinzhi didn't know what the original plot was like, but Gu Jiang had seen the final scene when he was arguing with the Fake Heavenly Dao. He passed that picture to her through the close consciousness of the two.
After preparing the formation, Nie Yinzhi sent a message to Feng Hanzhu, inviting him to bring the demon generals back to his hometown.
Feng Hanzhu was confused as he held the communication symbol. Hometown? Cave of Ten Thousand Demons?
He will bring his men to raze that shameful place to the ground tomorrow.
