Inside the Green Sun Xuanfu, Yun Chen slowly picked up a bronze mirror that was floating in front of him. He channeled his mana into it and saw that it was perfectly integrated without any hindrance. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. He tidied up his clothes and walked out from his secluded meditation.
When he opened the door, he saw Daoist Ming Shan already waiting for him. Daoist Ming Shan bowed to him and said, "Young Master, have you succeeded?"
Yun Chen hurriedly returned the bow and said, "Yes."
Daoist Ming Shan said, "Head Xuan has instructed that if you come out from your secluded meditation, you should go and see him."
Yun Chen bowed again. He came to the middle and stepped on the clouds. Not long after, he arrived at the Crane Hall. When he saw Zhu Xuan sitting there, he bowed and said, "Teacher."
Zhu Xuan glanced at him and said, "Since the mirror has been refined successfully, you can go to Xuan Zheng's place today. He has been waiting for you for a long time. Do not delay any longer."
Yun Chen bowed and said, "Yes, Master."
Zhu Xuan said, "Go."
After Yun Chen left, he tidied up a little. After bidding farewell to Daoist Ming Shan, he walked out of the Xuanfu. He looked at the sky and rode on the clouds, flying towards Gaozhou.
Although he spent most of his time cultivating in the Lingmiao Mysterious Realm, he would sometimes come out and walk around. He knew a little about the roads in the continent. It was not difficult for him to find the right direction by following the distribution of mountains and rivers.
But just as he left Gaozhou, he suddenly frowned and stopped. He turned around and asked, "Who are you? Why are you always following me there? "
After a while, the atmosphere twisted and an ordinary-looking Daoist walked out. He bowed to him and said, "Greetings, Daoist Yun."
Yun Chen looked at him and realized that he did not know him. He asked cautiously, "Who are you?"
The Daoist said, "Don't be suspicious, Daoist Yun. This time, Zhu Xuan was worried that you would be in trouble so he ordered me to protect you."
Yun Chen nodded and said, "You can go back and tell my teacher that I don't need anyone to follow me."
The Daoist smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master, please don't make things difficult for me. How can I go against Head Xuan's orders? If that's the case, why don't I stand a little further away and Shaolang will pretend that you didn't see me? "
Yun Chen shook his head and said, "I'm also in a difficult position. I can pretend that I didn't see through you this time, but if you keep following me, how can I be at ease?"
When the Daoist heard this, his originally kind and helpless expression immediately disappeared. He frowned and said, "How did you see through it? I don't think I revealed any flaws."
Yun Chen flicked his sleeves and said with a serious face, "Our sect values' Once we leave the sect, we don't care about life and death '. Why would Master ask you to protect me?"
The Daoist suddenly understood and said, "So that's how it is." Then he asked, "But if one of your disciples is killed outside, would the sect really not care about it? How did your lineage survive until now? "
Yun Chen said, "Yes, so what I said just now was actually made up on the spot. Do you think that's the case?"
The Daoist said expressionlessly, "I don't want to play a game of words with you. It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it. Since you found out about me, I just took action a little earlier. It doesn't matter." While speaking, his whole body bloomed with a pale white light.
Yun Chen did not choose to fight with him here. Instead, he turned into a stream of light and rushed up to the sky. In an instant, he entered the thick layers of clouds. The Daoist did not hesitate to follow.
Muffled thunderous booms could be heard from high up in the sky, and balls of light would illuminate the sky from time to time. Soon, a corpse fell from the sky and landed on the ground, creating a deep crater.
Yun Chen floated down and circled the corpse a few times. Finally, he shook his head, reached out, and casually buried the corpse with soil. Then, he stepped on the cloud and continued to fly in the direction of Gaozhou.
At this moment, Zhang Yu was in the quiet room, reading the report sent back by Chen Mingchu. It only took the latter two days to completely solve the problem of the Liang Zhong Dao Sect.
In fact, the two did not use force. Chen Mingchu just brought the elders of the sect to the gate of the Liang Zhong Dao Sect and then entered the sect alone. After half a summer, the Liang Zhong Dao Sect gave up resistance.
Because there was no direct confrontation, the people of the Liang Zhong Sect were not thrown into the Golden Prison like the Six Ru Dao Sect. Chen Mingchu only asked them to hand over all the Dao seals, secret arts, and visualization diagrams in their sect. Then, they were separated and kept under watch.
He put down the report, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. At this moment, he suddenly felt something and looked at the door. He saw Miao Danjun hiding behind the door and looking at him.
He thought for a moment, stood up, and walked over. However, when he came to the door, the little leopard cat was no longer there. He only saw its tail flashing on the stairs. He did not stop and slowly walked up the stairs until he reached the top floor.
When he just stepped into this place, he saw Miao Danjun jumping back and forth. Along with its movements, a long series of shadows would be left behind. Each shadow was a Miao Danjun making different movements. Some were jumping, some were catching, some were climbing, and some were rolling.
These movements seemed to be the silhouettes of its daily activities. However, now they were vividly floating in the air and did not disappear for a long time. It was as if dozens of little leopard cats had appeared in the guest room.
Zhang Yu looked down and saw the real body of Miao Danjun squatting on the flower bed next to his hand. Its tail was gently swaying as it stared at the silhouettes. When it saw Zhang Yu looking at it, it raised its small head and meowed at him.
It seemed that the little leopard cat's spiritual power had made great progress after it woke up from its deep sleep. This was also a way to use its spiritual power. It could confuse the opponent when it was hunting.
However, he knew very well that Miao Danjun was not hunting for food. It was just using its spiritual power to draw pictures for itself and wanted him to watch it together. Thus, he reached out and rubbed its head, saying, "Not bad. If you like it, you can keep it."
Footsteps came from behind. Li Qinghe walked over and bowed to him, saying, "Sir, Xuanfu's people are here."
Zhang Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "Invite him to the guest room. I'll be right there." He rubbed Miao Danjun a few more times, then came down from the top and walked to the guest room. After a while, he saw a young Daoist coming in from outside. He glanced at him, then came up to him and bowed, "I'm Yun Chen. Greetings, Xuan Zheng."
Zhang Yu returned the greeting and said, "Daoist Yun, please sit down and talk."
Yun Chen thanked him and sat down on the guest's seat. He said, "I've made Xuan Zheng wait for a long time. I was refining and inspecting the Nightmare's celestial instrument. I didn't succeed until this morning. After reporting to my teacher, I immediately rushed over."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Daoist Yun, you've worked hard."
Yun Chen said, "Xuan Zheng, you're too polite." He turned his hand and took out a bronze mirror from his sleeve, saying, "This is the 'Clear Heart Mirror'. At that time, my teacher sensed the threat of the Nightmare, so he asked a friend in the Lingmiao Mysterious Realm to make it. Because the materials were difficult to obtain, this mirror took forty years to complete."
Zhang Yu asked, "May I know how this mirror is inspected?"
Yun Chen did not answer immediately. Instead, he thought for a while and said, "Xuan Zheng, what do you think of the inspection method of the Inspection Department in the past?"
Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "I don't agree with this method."
Yun Chen said, "But this method seems to be able to solve the problem of the Nightmare, right?"
Zhang Yu said frankly, "The Discipline Inspection Department's method is to extract one's blood and peek into one's heart. As a Mystic cultivator, I once asked myself, what would I do if someone tried to peek into my mind one day? I don't want to do it, and if I don't want to do it, how can I force my will on others? "
Yun Chen nodded unconsciously. He looked at Zhang Yu and asked, "But what if I didn't bring this mirror? What would Xuan Zheng do? "
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "I usually don't make assumptions about this kind of self-interrogation. But I can say that since Zhu Xuan Chief can wait for forty years, I can also wait."
This kind of self-interrogation was actually a small game that True Cultivators would play when they first entered the Dao. When he followed that teacher to cultivate, there were two senior apprentice-sisters who were very keen on this.
This was usually to set up a predetermined framework and then let people make their own choices.
For example, the simplest one was nothing more than "Two people fall off a cliff, one is the mother, the other is the son. Who do you save?"
However, even though he was the youngest, he never participated in these games. Because in his opinion, True Cultivators were meant to break restrictions and turn the impossible into the possible. If one was trapped, there was only one reason, and that was that one's cultivation was not high enough and not deep enough.
Yun Chen looked at him a few times and nodded unconsciously. He picked up the mirror and said, "My Mirror of Clear Heart can reflect the changes in people's minds, but it doesn't look into their minds. It only looks into the crowd.
As long as they waited for a period of time, it was extremely likely that the person whose mind was different from everyone else had been contaminated by the Nightmare. After repeated screening, they would be able to pick out the suspect and observe him again. At that time, they would have a ninety percent chance of succeeding.
In addition, this mirror also has the ability to suppress the Nightmare. This needs to be tested to know its effect. "
Zhang Yu thought for a while and said decisively, "Then this matter should not be delayed. There are still more than a hundred Xuanxiu imprisoned in Li Province's Golden Prison. There are suspected to be people infected by the Nightmare. Please come with me."
Yun Chen's expression became serious and said, "Of course."
In order to confirm the effect of the mirror in time, Zhang Yu did not delay and immediately left the Golden Platform with Yun Chen. They flew into the sky and headed to Li Province. However, this time they were not in a hurry, so they did not fly at full speed. After about three quarters of an hour, they landed in front of Li Province's Inspection Department.
When He Meng heard that he had come again, and this time he brought another person with him, he guessed that it was the person who was supposed to inspect them. He hurriedly went out to welcome them. After chatting for a while, he knew that it was as he had guessed. He then brought the two of them into the Golden Prison.
He said, "Xuan Zheng, and this is Daoist Yun. According to our Inspection Department's judgment, the Sect Master of the Six Ru Dao Sect, Jiang Chang, and Elder He Gu 'an may have been infected by the Nightmare."
Zhang Yu glanced at Yun Chen. The latter nodded and said, "Then let's examine these two people first."
