But ask the people

Chapter 34

In the next moment, Jiang Yi felt that everything around him was gradually shattering.

It was strange, and it seemed that there were countless voices passing through my ears.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Chaosheng suddenly appeared in front of her eyes along with a stream of light, her eyes were tightly closed, and she was about to fall towards Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi immediately caught her and put her on her shoulders. Only then did she realize that Shen Chaosheng was no longer the red dress in the illusion, but the purple pleated robe he usually wore.

Before she had time to check Shen Chaosheng's condition, the two of them landed on the main hall where the palace lanterns had already been lit.

"came back?"

Lu Chao's voice sounded from the center of the hall, and Jiang Yi supported Shen Chaosheng to look back. He held up the scroll just like when they first met, and looked at the two with a calm face.

"Why didn't Shen Chaosheng wake up? ... Also, Shui Xuanjing didn't bring us back to your past." Jiang Yi said truthfully.

"I know."

Lu Chao explained one by one: "She didn't wake up because she couldn't bring out her memories."

Jiang Yi frowned, his eyes fell on Shen Chaosheng, and he asked, "Why is this happening?"

Lu Chao replied: "Her desire to get certain answers is too strong, so Shui Xuanjing made an exception and did not return to the night of the blood rain according to the secret method I performed, but returned to an earlier time."

"But because of this, Shui Xuanjing seemed to be more reluctant for her to see those memories, so she put your consciousness back into the illusion, allowing you to experience those pasts."

Jiang Yi: "..."

She placed Shen Chaosheng aside, saw her lying quietly on the table, and asked slowly: "Shen Chaosheng, what does she... want to see?"

Lu Chao stroked his chin and guessed, "It's probably her mother."

He asked Jiang Yi: "Don't you know that her mother passed away before she could remember?"

Jiang Yi turned his head: "... how would I know."

She just heard from Shen Chaosheng that her mother had passed away, but she didn't know that she took back countless swords made by her mother just to get a glimpse of her mother's face from the spiritual power incorporated into the sword.

"So when she wakes up, she probably won't remember this illusion."

"Perhaps so, but you can tell her everything."

……

Tell her everything?

It was to tell her that her mother was a descendant of the demon clan, pressured by the clan, and finally died of exhaustion.

Or tell her that Jiang Zongyue lost the chance to become a living being because of her leading the magic vein into her body?

……

If he hadn't entered the illusion, Jiang Yi would probably have told Shen Chaosheng the truth.

But she had seen Wen Yuzhi after she knew the truth, and she didn't want to see Jiang Zongyue again.

What if Shen Chaosheng is the same, what should they do?

Will she take revenge on the clan with hatred and fall into an endless cycle.

Jiang Yi clenched his fists and looked down at the ground: "If I don't tell her..."

Lu Chao seemed to have guessed something, and said sharply, "If you don't tell her, she might not know about it in the future."

"You are afraid that she will run away from you when she finds out. You are afraid that she will delay your life like they did in the past in the illusion."

"So, one day in the future, what will she do when she learns the truth?"

"I guess she'll keep it from you, too."

"Hiss...Ah?"

Before Jiang Yi could speak again, Shen Chaosheng next to him woke up, covering his head and looking at her.

"you're awake?"

Jiang Yi walked to her side, took away her hand covering her head, and saw a red mark on her fair skin, so she asked with some guilt, "Is it over?"

She should have put her away just now.

"No, I was not careful when I woke up."

Then she turned her eyes to Lu Chao, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty, this artifact of yours is probably a fake."

Lu Chao said sternly: "It is not easy to repair an artifact, and mistakes are inevitable."

Shen Chaosheng frowned, and wanted to complain a few more words, but felt that Jiang Yi seemed to be looking at her all the time, and asked doubtfully, "Ah?"

"Ok?"

"You seem to be looking at me all the time."

"Well, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"But it's only been a few hours since entering the Water Profound Mirror."

"How long?" Jiang Yi turned to Lu Chao, he nodded slightly, and said, "There is something wrong with the water mirror, you don't need to go in anymore."

Shen Chaosheng put his arms around his shoulders and asked, "Oh? Then how do you know about your past?"

"It doesn't necessarily require the participation of Shuixuanjing." Lu Chao explained: "Shuixuanjing is just one of the thousands of ways to know the past, and I just happen to want to try the effect."

He lowered his eyes, staring at a broken book that had been placed on the case for a long time, before speaking: "You can also use external forces, such as other people's records, to see things in the past."

When Jiang Yi heard this, her eyes froze slightly, and she looked at Lu Chao in disbelief.

Lu Chao sensed her gaze and felt a lot, then waved his hand: "It's getting late, do you want to stay in the palace?"

Before Jiang Yi opened his mouth, Shen Chaosheng responded: "No need, the inn has already been booked, not to mention I have other important matters."

Lu Chao nodded, watching Shen Chaosheng turn and leave.

Shen Chaosheng walked a few steps, then looked back at Jiang Yi who hadn't moved: "Ah Yi?"

Jiang Yi said: "I want to ask him something about the master's past, how about we meet at the gate of the palace?"

Shen Chaosheng laughed: "Of course it's good, I'll wait for you."

After Shen Chaosheng left, Jiang Yi immediately asked, "Does the Shui Xuan Mirror have a similar effect?"

"You mean seeing the past through records?"

"Exactly." Jiang Yi thought of the notebook she was looking at every day in the illusion, and she was suspicious. She told Lu Chao about the notebook in the illusion. Lu Chao pondered for a moment, and speculated: "Your It means that what you saw in that notebook is everything that will happen to you in the illusion.”

"I guess, it's something that the Shuixuan Mirror intentionally appeared to guide you."

"It's just for you to execute better, knowing that it wants you to see it, isn't it."

After finishing speaking, Lu Chao asked Jiang Yi back: "Tell me about your feelings during this trip to the illusion..."

"What?" Jiang Yi was puzzled.

Lu Chao listened as if he was taking it for granted: "I see that you have always been a little distracted since you left the illusion."

Jiang Yi was flustered immediately, she was a little scared and Shen Chaosheng could see it.

"Is it obvious?"

Seeing her flustered look, Lu Chao didn't answer this question, but pointed out: "Jiang Yi, how far have you learned the common people's Tao?"

Jiang Yi seemed to have been hit hard by a stone in his heart, and immediately understood the intention of Lu Chao's question.

She closed her eyes, and said truthfully: "One of the last pages, it must be——Taishang Wangqing."

----

On the other side, Shen Chaosheng had just walked to the entrance of the palace wall, and the afterglow of the setting sun was reflected on the red wall and black tiles. There was a feeling that the setting sun was infinitely beautiful, but it was just near dusk.

Before she had time to watch the scene carefully, suddenly a snow-white eagle flew in the air, circling incessantly.

"..."

Shen Chaosheng, who was originally leisurely, could no longer be leisurely now. She raised her arm, and the white eagle landed firmly on her hand.

With drooping eyes, Shen Chaosheng took out the secret letter from the eagle's claw, looked at it for a while, and then burned it up with his fingers.

She raised her arm, and the eagle rose up in the air with her strength, and immediately flew to the end of the northern sky.

The ashes were swept away by a gust of wind, and just as they dissipated, Jiang Yi walked to her side.

"looking at what?"

"It's nothing, look, the walls in this palace are really beautiful, and I will use this color scheme when I want to study in the future."

"You mean, your house's white background doesn't look good with dark green?"

"I'm just tired of watching it..."

When the two walked out of the palace gate, Shen Chaosheng looked back at the palace.

"Shen Chaosheng, just now Lu Chao said that there is no need to help him find out what happened that night of blood rain."

What Lu Chao actually said was that it would not be too late to come again when the time is right.

"Then he asked me to tell you that Han Tianyuan is now in the hands of the clan."
