Chapter 1,786 Intervention(1/2)
Luna didn't really know what happened, but she could feel something was wrong, and... the substitute in the room had changed in some way.
The girl in the past would never be able to operate the Phantom Sound Box so smoothly, and her aura had also undergone earth-shaking changes, as if she was a different person.
She didn't understand why these changes occurred, but it must have something to do with Concubine Yan!
There is no point in going in and interrupting everything that happens in the Toad Palace. If she wants to stop it, she can only attack from the source.
So what she has to do now is to find Concubine Yan first.
Under normal circumstances, given the size of the mirage, if Concubine Yan hid and didn't want to see her, the two would never be able to see each other.
Fortunately, the current situation is quite special. There have been changes in the Toad Palace. Unsurprisingly, there must be something unusual about Concubine Yan's location.
On the other side, Xinghun, who was about to find Gongshuqiu, seemed to have noticed something was wrong. He turned around and glanced in the direction of Toad Palace while looking at countless buildings.
He didn't know exactly what happened, but he was sure something must have happened.
It sounds like nonsense, but to him it is fact.
He didn't know whether what happened was good or bad for him, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
Thinking of this, Xinghun couldn't help but speed up his pace.
The situation was unclear, and all he could do was act according to plan.
Step by step, the first thing to do is to determine the location where the woman is imprisoned!
Only Gong Shuqiu could solve this problem for him.
His eyes turned back to the room where Concubine Yan was hiding.
She stayed by Chitaki's side, her clear gray-brown eyes staring closely at her daughter.
It is not difficult to see from the aura of dragon traveling around her body that the strange situation between Qiantaki and the Toad Palace girl is indeed closely related to her.
And below the Toad Palace, deep inside the Zibei Water Pavilion, within the Sakura Prison.
Princess Yan, who was imprisoned here, was also not idle. She formed seals with her hands, her eyes glowed with golden light, and her whole body's energy condensed into shape, forming a vaguely huge three-legged golden crow.
What she did seemed to have triggered some kind of preset mechanism in Sakura Prison. The circulation runes surrounding the huge ten thousand-year black ice platform began to move rapidly, and bursts of cold air swayed down, heading towards Princess Yan.
go.
The cold air obviously interfered with the movement of her Qi, but she seemed to have found some way to counter it, and continued to exercise her Qi despite the cold air.
At the same time, in Songhai City, Gu Xun, who was separated from Zhang Liangweizhuang, stood on the spire of the city tower, facing southeast, looking directly at the mirage.
He stared intently at the mirage, staring at the Toad Palace at the highest point. Even though he was several miles away, he seemed to be aware of the changes happening in the mirage.
Gu Xun did not choose to run up the mirage. He raised his hand and flipped over, and the erhu that had been with him for many years was taken off from his waist.
Over the years, he has almost never let it leave his body, so that he often looks a bit nondescript.
It's just that people who are unfamiliar with him are often attracted by his face, while people who are familiar with him...either don't laugh at him, or don't dare to laugh at him.
As for why you need to carry your erhu with you...
Once you get there, you get used to it.
Secondly, he also needs a weapon.
Now that he has chosen the new master of the Seven Swords, he has even given away the Changhong Sword, and he has no weapons at hand.
Of course, he can also exchange for another weapon. Even if he doesn't exchange for the Seven Swords, he still has a lot of choices... He can even exchange for the Wind and Thunder to cosplay Amu.
But he was too lazy to spend more money, so he simply used the erhu as a weapon. It could be used for anything anyway.
If he didn't pay more attention to the sense of ritual, it wouldn't be a bad idea to imitate Gai Nie and just whet a wooden sword.
Gu Xun tightened his grip on the erhu, without taking out the bow, he just flexed his fingers to clasp the strings and plucked the strings lightly.
Buzz~~~Zheng!
The vibrating sound of the strings sounded, crisp and short.
Along with the sound of strings, an invisible wave of air rushed from Songhai Tower to the mirage.
The people in Songhai City did not notice any noise. Only a few martial arts masters felt that there seemed to be a short and sudden sound in their ears.
The fleeting sound made them confused.
Is this because my ears are misheard, or something happened?
It's a pity that Gu Xun won't go out of his way to explain it to them.
In comparison, to the ears of some people in the mirage above the sea, this fleeting sound was like a thunder that suddenly exploded in their minds.
Star Soul, Moon God, the five elders, as well as Crown Princess Yan, Princess Yan, and even Qianlong and the girls in Toad Palace.
Thunderous chords rang in their ears and echoed in their minds.
For Xinghun and others, this sound certainly shocked them, and caused a very brief stagnation in the flow of Qi, but it had almost no other substantial impact.
But for the Princess Yan in Sakura Prison, the girl in the Toad Palace, and the mother and daughter of Princess Yan Qiantaki, the impact of this thunderous string sound goes beyond that.
The sound of strings directly interrupted all the operations they were doing.
The golden light around Qiantaki and the girl in the Toad Palace disappeared. They were in a different place, but they opened their eyes at the same time, their eyes full of confusion.
They didn't understand why a string sound suddenly appeared, nor why a sound forced them out of that strange state... They might not even understand why they entered that state.
But unlike the Toad Palace girl who was alone, Chitaki had someone she could turn to for answers.
She immediately looked up at her mother.
Concubine Yan was adjusting her breathing to calm down the sudden shock of her Qi.
Feeling Qiantaki's gaze, Concubine Yan walked to sit next to her, hugged her daughter with one hand, and asked softly, "Did you hear the sound too, Qiantaki?"
Chitaki nodded and asked timidly, "Mom, where is the sound coming from?"
"Don't worry about it." Concubine Yan probably guessed the source of the sound, touched Qianlong's forehead, and then asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Chitaki shook his head, "I'm fine, just..."
"It's okay, let's take a rest." Concubine Yan interrupted her daughter and said while stroking her long, silky hair.
Chitaki did not continue.
There were too many things she didn't understand recently. Since her mother didn't want to explain, she didn't ask any more questions.
On the other side, in the Toad Palace, the girl opened her eyes and looked at everything blankly, her mind filled with doubts.
But she didn't think too much, and quickly put aside these problems and closed her eyes again - just resting.
The girl who was imprisoned by the Yin Yang family since she was a child does not look like a normal person. She rarely even had emotions before, as if she was a living dead, or a tool person, so she was manipulated at will by Moon God Star Soul and others. .
This is not only caused by the lack of experience, knowledge and other aspects, but also the effect of Onmyoji. The Onmyoji family deliberately raised her to be a wooden person.
Not long ago, Concubine Yan took half of the semi-finished Immortal Gathering Pill for her, freeing her from the restraint of Onmyoji and allowing her condition to move closer to a normal person.
However, her past habits are still affecting her, so she is not very keen on thinking.
If you don't know something, just don't know it. Anyway, she just needs and can only stay in this room quietly.
At the same time, in Ying Prison, Princess Yan's condition was the worst among the four people who had been disturbed.
Concubine Yan was disturbed for a while, but her inner breath was slightly shaken, and she was fine after adjusting her breath.
But Princess Yan is still facing the seal of the Ten Thousand Years Xuanbing Platform.
The true energy suddenly stagnated, and she, who had barely withstood the seal pressure of the Ten Thousand Years Xuanbing Platform, directly suffered the most complete backlash impact. At this time, she was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a layer of white frost appearing all over her body, and her breath almost disappeared.
Of course, she is not dead yet, but is in a very bad condition, and I don’t know if she will have a second chance to intervene in the outside world.
Looking back to Songhai City, Gu Xun already knew what the result would be after plucking the strings. Without any further waiting, he put away his erhu and turned around to leave.
There are some things that he hasn't figured out yet, but that doesn't stop him from taking action to stop certain behaviors.
Concubine Yan has the freedom of Concubine Yan, and it is not convenient for Gu Xun to forcibly interfere with her will.
But Gu Xun also has his own freedom, and Concubine Yan also has no right to interfere with his freedom - this process may also involve other people, which is not within the scope of Gu Xun's concern.
Of course, Gu Xun's intervention could not fundamentally solve the problem, it just delayed it, so he didn't spend any more effort.
At this time, it seems that he can only use this painless method to delay it.
In the final analysis, Concubine Yan is the one with a tough attitude now, while Gu Xun is in a passive position.
When the martial arts that a martial artist is most proud of are no longer useful, he can't help but be passive.
Fortunately, for Gu Xun, this passivity may not last forever. He just needs to wait until the time is suitable for him to perform.
………………
On the streets of Songhai City, Tianming, who also heard the sound of plucked strings, stopped, raised his head and looked around, subconsciously trying to trace the source of the sound.
However, he could not find the source of the short string sound at all, and he could only look blankly at the passers-by around him.
There aren’t any musical instruments selling around here, are they?
Shao Yu, who fell behind Tian Ming, did not expect the former to stop suddenly, and bumped into him. He was shaken, and Tian Ming, who was confused, was also hit and staggered.
"Tianming, why did you stop suddenly?" Shao Yu steadied himself and asked in confusion.
To be continued...
