Chapter 16: The Pitiful Glass Cup 2
Liu Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud, changed direction, sensed for a while, and then stepped out of the spiritual realm.
Now Liu Yi's spiritual realm occupies a vast area of over 100 mu. Even if there are people lurking outside, it is possible that they are everywhere.
Liu Yi changed direction and went out, and was in a dense forest. This place is next to the back mountain, and you can't see the scenery of the front mountain, nor can you see the rice fields at the foot of the mountain, let alone the temple on the mountain waist.
This vast world, with its sparse population, has too many unexplored places. In this dense forest, there are countless trees that are hundreds or even thousands of years old. The branches and leaves are densely packed, blocking out the sky and sunlight.
As soon as you enter this place, even ordinary people can feel a chill and see no sunlight at all.
Only the divine soul still felt it, and the true fire of the sun pierced through, fortunately weakening a lot. The divine power in Liu Yiling's pool reignited, transforming into an umbrella to cover her head, blocking out the true fire of the sun.
However, this umbrella was rapidly consuming itself under the true fire of the sun, depleting a huge amount of divine power every moment.
Liu Yi did not dare to linger, and secretly thought that knowing oneself and the enemy would lead to victory in a hundred battles. In modern warfare, intelligence work is of utmost importance.
He stretched out his hand and beckoned, and from afar a bird of uncertain purpose was caught and brought over.
The bird struggled in terror, but Liu Yi pinched it on the head. He forcibly erased the bird's consciousness, and a spark of divine power jumped out of the spiritual pool, transforming into a small Liu Yi that drilled into the bird's sea of recognition.
What is meant by the sea of consciousness is the ocean of consciousness. Birds and beasts, with their simple consciousness, naturally have a simple and crude sea of consciousness as well. It's easy for Liu Yi to occupy the sea of consciousness.
Then I saw that bird flapping its wings and struggling for half a day before finally flying away at an angle.
At this moment, Liu Yi suddenly had a very special feeling. It seemed that he had instantly transformed into two people at the same time, using two pairs of eyes to look at the world from different angles.
This feeling is too unfamiliar for people to take seriously. Fortunately, Liu Yi has the Ling Xiao Treasure Mirror in his hand, and the principle is similar.
The sword tip pointed to the brow of his own house, and one perspective shifted into the Ling Xiao Treasure Mirror. At first, the screen was chaotic, suddenly high and low, apparently this bird couldn't fly steadily, but soon stabilized. Approaching the front mountain.
In the mountain forest, 7 or 8 Qingyang Sect monks with rattan sticks in their hands were seen scattered all over. There's no telling how many more there are that haven't been discovered yet.
Liu Yi didn't notice these Taoist priests, but instead felt a little regret in his heart. He thought to himself, what a pity. The best object for this spell is actually an eagle or hawk.
One is that it flies high enough, and the other is that its eyesight is extremely sharp. This kind of bird is quite inferior, flying low and having a narrow field of vision.
Liu Yi was somewhat apprehensive of the five-section staff expert beside Shi Shi, so he didn't dare get too close. From a distance, he chose an angle to look over and saw Shi Shi leading his men up the mountain.
There were already more than a dozen guards armed with bows and crossbows, cautiously scouting ahead, even entering the dense forest where people could ambush.
Then another forty or fifty fully armored guards appeared, leading the way in front.
Then he saw Shi's side followed by that master of Qingyang Dao, starting to climb the mountain slowly, and finally there were hundreds of armored soldiers following behind.
Witnessing this scene, Liu Yi suddenly felt a great awakening. So that's how it is, the layout of the array was not necessarily aimed at Ben Shengjun.
In fact, I had thought things were much more complicated than they actually are. Perhaps the truth is very simple. This historian was just afraid of death. With so many armored soldiers and the protection of the high-ranking officials from Qingyang Dao, he was actually just afraid of being ambushed and killed like that unlucky Governor Yuquan.
He clearly knew that no one would ambush this time, so he didn't think in that direction at all.
Seeing the county guard and his entourage, he began thinking of heading towards the mountain waist temple.
"Report to the messenger," said a Taoist priest, "We have searched all the way up the mountain and found no signs of resentment or evil spirits. It seems that the murder of the governor has nothing to do with the local earth god!"
That historian heard this and burst out laughing: "How could those daring bandits possibly be related to the Earth God?"
It's easy to say so, but still guarding oneself tightly.
Liu Yi thought to himself, Fortunately, all of Yuquan's ghostly guards were still under his control.
Maybe this thorned history will come to see me after all. I'd better return to the spiritual realm first.
As he thought about it, he turned around and his figure blurred and disappeared on the spot. His consciousness then appeared above the statue of the gods in the temple.
As expected, a large group of soldiers rushed in, searched around for a while, and quickly retreated. The temple was surrounded by water that couldn't be drained.
Then, he saw the governor enter the temple surrounded by the crowd.
As they drew closer, it could be seen that this historian was about fifty years old and had a dignified appearance. However, in front of Liu Yi, he seemed rather courteous, personally offering a stick of incense. He bowed and said: "Your great name, I have long heard of, today I am fortunate to see you!"
Instead, he didn't mention anything about the murder of County Governor Hu Yunquan, but rather mentioned several times that the yield per mu was a thousand jin, which was already known to the imperial court. When the time comes, it will naturally be for the Earth God to request an official title and be included in the national sacrificial rituals.
He turned around and was about to leave under the protection of everyone, when he saw a flash of white light out of the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but jump in fright, thinking that he had encountered another assassin.
However, looking back carefully, I was shocked. Seeing a beautifully shaped crystal cup, nobly and elegantly placed on the offering table.
Even though he had seen countless rare and precious treasures, he was still moved by the sight of this crystal cup, which was flawless and exquisitely crafted, as if it were a natural wonder.
With careful preparation, he reached for the crystal cup, but was stopped by Shi's swift hand. What a joke, how could such a rare treasure be allowed to be touched by that clumsy oaf?
This crystal cup is so perfect, its fragile beauty is almost heartbreaking, even more rare than a peerless beauty. If it's damaged in the slightest by such rough and unrefined people, how can that be endured?
He carefully picked up the crystal cup, his eyes shining with a mesmerizing light. He gazed at it for half a day, reluctant to part with it, imagining what an extraordinary experience it would be to drink from such a precious treasure.
After a while, I noticed that there was still a note under the cup. It read: "Thank you for your kindness, especially to Shi Hou. This crystal cup is specially presented to you."
This treasure is said to be the princess of Youyu State in those years. At that time, she accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by him. The two were deeply in love for dozens of years, but unfortunately, they were separated by the heavenly and earthly realms in the end. Four drops of tears turned into these four crystal cups.
