Reinforcements 1541

not exactly easygoing, and showing up in broad daylight might mean he has something to ask me."Song Wei, that... I have something to do today and can't go shopping with you, okay" I quickly explained,...It is often said that one day in heaven equals one year on earth.

This is an exaggerated statement from myths and legends, but it also reflects the wisdom of ancient people. Nowadays, scientific calculations show that planets at different distances in the solar system have different times compared to ours.

Therefore, ancient people had long speculated that time would be different in different worlds.

I wonder what the Ninth Heaven is like...

"What are you staring at" Jiang Qiyun saw that I didn't answer, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she lightly jumped down from the dragon's head.

He reached out and squeezed my cheek. The icy touch brought me back to reality — this was real! I wasn't dreaming.

That dragon...

"Wow! This is a real dragon!" I was so astonished, I didn't know where to look. The dragon's head was as big as a mid-sized bus. If Jiang Qiyun wasn't sitting on top of it, I would have thought it was an illusion.

“Of course it’s true, the mirage has already been dispelled by Rahu.” Jiang Qiyun frowned slightly: “I just left for a while, and you’ve gone stupid”

A real dragon...

I blankly stared at the lake. This lake, where a true dragon once resided, must be considered blessed, right

The dragon was silent and taciturn, seemingly unwilling to communicate. After Jiang Qiyun jumped down, it retreated back into the lake, coldly looking towards the body of the large clam.

It is said in ancient texts that the mountain pheasant enters the sea and transforms into a mirage, while mirages often appear in wild histories as large clam shells.

Those fortunate enough to witness such a sight passed it down through folklore. However, under the gaze of the giant dragon, the mountain quail shivered and huddled on the bank, too afraid to enter the water.

The dragon had one eye open, the other closed. Its scales bore obvious large scars.

This is the mirage that has lost its purpose, isn't it

When things looked dire for Shantao, she ripped open a rift in space. A force sucked her inside, and the demon spirit and pheasant were seemingly pulled by invisible ropes, hurled into the spatial tear.

...How many demons have broken through the barrier Even though their power is restrained in this world, fighting like this is not something ordinary people can handle.

Beat them twice, and the Shen family will be gone.

The fire in the side courtyard grew larger and larger, and after the mirage dragon entered the water, it rose into the air and the lake water falling from the sky extinguished the fire in the side courtyard.

"... Go back to the main hall, wouldn't you be cold" Jiang Qiyun asked me in a low voice.

In the cold depths of winter, I took off my water-soaked cotton coat, and I was soaked to the bone. He reminded me, and only then did I realize that my fingers were almost numb from the cold.

"Go change your clothes, I'll take care of the rest." Jiang Qiyun took the Zi Xiao Ruyi from my hand, rubbed my frozen fingers, and urged me to go back.

I looked at him blankly. The house had become like this, which was a big blow to me.

"The disciples of the Shen family, for some reason, all fainted." I said.

Jiang Qiyun nodded slightly: “It’s a small matter.”

"Besides... it's not really Chongmo's fault..." After all, Chongmo still knows to help me block things at critical moments.

Jiang Qiyun raised an eyebrow: “They each serve their own master, it’s not my business to discipline him. You don't have to plead for him, Yin Su Bai wouldn't listen anyway.”

And—

Just as I was about to ask if he had given Shuo Mo to Yin Su Bai, a crack appeared in the night sky behind Shuo Mo.

There was pitch black there, but a pair of crimson eyes glowed softly, gazing silently at this world.

Chong lowered his head and walked towards the gap, he glanced back at this side.

That look seemed to carry a hint of apology, but this guy definitely wouldn't be sincerely apologizing.

Those crimson eyes in the darkness should belong to Yin Su Bai. He was looking this way, but remained silent and didn't come out from the gap in space.

Recently, the demons' activity has been increasing, and the world's negativity is growing heavier. Perhaps he doesn't want to appear frequently anymore.

But how can we possibly search for talismans while being so restricted

I sighed and, urged on by Jiang Qiyun, went back to change my clothes.

As soon as I returned to the backyard, I saw Chenyan cautiously following me inside.

"All of a sudden, a thick fog rose from the lake's surface. When the fog cleared, Master and all the senior and junior disciples had fainted." Chenyan stood outside the screen and whispered to me.

"Why are you okay" I just couldn't understand it.

“I don't know either... I thought it was a celestial omen, so scared that I hugged the pillar and didn't dare to move... The mist cleared and I went to report to my senior brothers and sisters, only to find that I was the only one awake.”

Chen Yan lowered her head, clutching the hem of her Taoist robe, and whispered, "Master Head, was Master Chongmo taken away"

"He... was taken back by his Devil Venerable. It's really his fault, you know But I don't think it's entirely his blame." I pursed my lips and quickly put on a warm jacket.

Chenyan was a bit frustrated, as if she felt she couldn't help at all.

Indeed, Chenyan is currently learning the basics, and her personality isn't suited for tasks like exorcism, purification, catching ghosts, or slaying demons.

She was raised as a child prodigy to learn the art of divination by looking at light circles, from a young age. The first time I saw her, she was only ten years old.

Over the past three to four years, most of her studies have been in "auxiliary" techniques.

Seeing through the art of circular light requires special eyes, and the eyes are indeed the windows to the soul. A pair of clear, pure, and gentle eyes is rare. Naturally, Shen's master wouldn't have her learn spells of destruction and eradication.

But this isn't a long-term solution... After all, it's impossible to be without desire. It's not realistic to be cold and unfeeling forever, is it

"Achoo!" I sneezed, waking myself up.

"Master, I'll go get you a hot bowl of ginger soup! Don't catch a cold." Chen Yan hurriedly tucked her robe hem and rushed out.

As soon as she stepped out the threshold, she let out a cry: "Ah!!"

"What's wrong!"

I put on my cotton robe while chasing after him.

"The sky, there seems to be something up in the sky!" She sat on the steps, pointing to the courtyard above.

The mirage dragon floated in the courtyard, looking down at us.

That single dragon eye, majestic and arrogant, glared at me before turning away and diving into the lake.

"……" I was stunned for a moment, and only reacted when I saw Jiang Qiyun's cold and clear fall: "It's nothing... It's an auspicious sign, don't worry. Quickly go and boil a big pot of ginger soup, your senior brothers and sisters will all wake up soon."

Chen Yan nodded in confusion and hurried downstairs.

Jiang Qiyun walked over to me, and said in a cold voice: "The mirage dragon has dispelled the illusions that these people were under, and they will wake up soon."

"Well… thank it then…" I ushered Jiang Qiyun into the house. "Didn't you go to the Upper Realm to report I thought it would be a while before you came back—"

"It was a report, but that old man only gave me four words, so I left quickly." Jiang Qiyun raised an eyebrow lightly.

Old geezer

Perhaps only Jiang Qiyun, this insignificant fellow, would dare to call the Purple Micro Heavenly Emperor "old man," right

"What did the Taishang Huang say" I asked in a whisper, even uttering that title felt disrespectful.o awareSomething had bitten through the hemp rope. I quickly pulled off the sack, and unsurprisingly, I saw Fu Zhu."...How did you get here" I said, trying to keep my voice calm as I tugged at the rop...
