"How should I put it..." Gu Xun thought for a moment, then gestured and replied, "In terms of appearance, you can imagine it as a giant clam that has been enlarged hundreds or thousands of times. It can swallow clouds and mist, create illusions, and confuse people.

People’s hearts.”

"Normal people are basically completely unable to resist its protruding phantom fog. Once they go deep into it, they will lose their mind and go crazy."

"You can't do it either?" Zi Nu asked curiously.

"I... can barely do it." Gu Xun replied with a smile, speaking very conservatively.

Zi Nu knew that it was "just okay" and she was not afraid at all. She immediately asked with a smile, "Then how did you get rid of it directly at that time? According to you, it doesn't seem to have much combat power."

Gu Xun grinned and explained, "First of all, there is no reason why I have to kill that 'mirage'. That is a matter between the Yin Yang family and Ying Zheng."

"Secondly, it's difficult for me to kill it. It has no combat effectiveness except for the fog, but its outer shell is very hard, so I can't hit it."

Zi Nu was stunned when she heard this, "You can't even attack it? How should the empire deal with it? Avoid it?"

Gu Xun waved his hand, "It's not impossible to fight, it's just very troublesome."

"You have to understand, whether it's a shield or an armor, the meaning of its existence is to be broken, and the same goes for the shell of that thing."

"As for getting around it... haha, there's no way around it."

"That strange beast is entrenched in the East China Sea to stop all people and things from trying to go deep into the sea. As long as they want to go deep into the sea, they can't get around it."

"Hmm..." Zi Nu nodded, and then asked with a half-smile, "So, the Yin Yang family is capable of getting rid of that 'mirage'?"

"Probably." Gu Xun shrugged, seeming to have confidence in the Yin Yang family, "I think the name Mirage was not coined for nothing. Donghuang Taiyi must have a solution."

"But this has nothing to do with us, just let them do whatever they want."

Zi Nu pursed her lips and smiled, "It's true that it has nothing to do with us, but aren't you about to get involved?"

"Just because I'm going to Songhai doesn't mean I'm going to contribute." Gu Xun raised his hand and said, "I'm just going to join in the fun and kill some time."

"But once I go, I'm afraid I won't show up again in a short time. You should be more careful next time."

Zi Nu frowned slightly and reminded in a deep voice, "If you disappear at this time, will Han Fei's actions be affected?"

"Also, if you go too long, I'm worried..."

Gu Xun raised his hand to stop Zi Nu's unfinished words, "Fusu and Han Fei's affairs are their own to handle. If you can help, do so. If you can't, just leave them alone. Take care of yourself first."

"As for the success or failure of Fusu and the others, and what the results will be, that is their business."

"What I should do and what I can do has been done. Whether it succeeds or not depends on their ability and luck. If they can catch up, I will help them more. If they can't catch up... just let it happen."

"Remember, take care of yourself first!" Gu Xun finally emphasized the importance of self-protection again.

Zi Nu was silent for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile, "I understand."

"Before I leave, I will help Han Fei and the others clear up some troubles. It should be of some use." Gu Xun put down his teacup, stood up, straightened his clothes, and finally said goodbye, "Okay, I'm leaving. Remember to take care of me."

I apologize to Mingzhu."

Zi Nu didn't reply, she just smiled at him.

Gu Xun also laughed when he saw this, and soon the person disappeared.

………………

A few days passed by in the blink of an eye.

Songhai, who had finally calmed down, was once again undercurrent.

Fortunately, the situation was ten times and a hundred times better than the previous chaos, and all the twists and turns were hidden in the dark.

Although the return of the mirage is a big event, it is not very attractive to the anti-Qin forces.

Everyone knows that Mirage is related to Ying Zheng's dream of immortality, but no one cares about his dream of immortality.

First of all, for most people, immortality is illusory. The so-called going out to sea to find immortals is purely because Ying Zheng was deceived by the Yin and Yang family.

What's the point of worrying about a scam?

Secondly, Ying Zheng is the emperor, the most powerful person in the world, and he already has everything he should and can have in this world. It is normal for him to be obsessed with the illusory so-called immortality.

But others are not emperors. No matter how attractive immortality is, they must kill Ying Zheng first and then think about it after overthrowing the empire.

Even if you don't even get the power, you will only be killed by Ying Zheng if you seek immortality.

These forces are now getting involved for the same purpose as the Mohists, they just want to fish in troubled waters to create a blockage for the empire, and see if they can get some benefits by the way.

In the past two days, the reason for Mirage's return has basically spread.

There are so many forces in the world, and there are so many capable people. If Tianming can get information from the mirage, there are naturally others who can.

Of course, the information they obtained was not very detailed. They only said that the mirage encountered something strange and evil on the sea, and the way forward was blocked, so they had to return to seek a solution.

Outsiders have different opinions on this.

People in Songhai generally believe this, or they don't care whether it's true or not, they just want something to talk about after dinner. Naturally, discussions about such mysterious and strange things are heated.

But all parties are doubtful about this.

They generally believe that the mirage's voyage is a scam. This so-called evil spirit on the sea is naturally another trick played by the Yin and Yang family. It may be to deceive more benefits from Ying Zheng, or it may simply be to deepen Ying Zheng's

of trust.

Of course, whether this is true or not is equally unimportant to them.

Things have to be prioritized. Even if there is a way to live forever, we have to wait until the empire is overthrown before we figure it out.

After this matter gradually spread, the empire simply stopped hiding it and directly pointed out the matter and warned capable people to solve the overseas evil spirits.

For a time, it attracted a lot of random alchemists and warlocks.

However, there are many people recruited, but there is no reliable method.

The methods proposed by these alchemists and warlocks were all very abstract. They were either setting up altars to offer sacrifices, inviting gods to come down to earth, or even human sacrifices, as well as some extremely outrageous imaginative operations.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! What these methods have in common is that it is completely impossible to prove whether they are effective before they are implemented.

The imperial court didn't have the ability to bring in another monster for experiments.

Another thing they have in common is that they all require a lot of manpower and material resources, especially the latter. If you take the opportunity to do something, you will definitely make a lot of money.

Therefore, Zhang Han directly beat them all into swindlers, and one of them arranged to go to the Dragon Field to enlightenment.

However, Zhang Han himself actually did not dare to do this.

Mirages were the emperor's greatest concern. Before he could be sure that these alchemists and warlocks were liars, Zhang Han would not dare to directly send people to prison even if he did not adopt their proposed methods.

The reason why everyone was arrested was because Gu Xun clearly told him that the methods these people said were nonsense.

With Gu Xun as his backup, Zhang Han naturally acted vigorously and resolutely, mainly because this group of people was really noisy and annoying to him.

As for Gu Xun, he has been here a long time ago.

This time, Ying Zheng directly issued an official document asking him to go to Songhai to help deal with the mirage incident.

Gu Xun rushed to Songhai the day after receiving the official document, but he never showed up.

Xianyang and Songhai are thousands of miles apart. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least ten days and a half on the road.

Of course, Gu Xun didn't show up because he was worried about being discovered by his ridiculous maneuvering speed - he didn't care about it at all now.

He was simply taking advantage of the opportunity to hide.

He had no intention of getting involved in this matter. He just came here to paddle. He was just waiting for the Yin Yang family to come up with a solution and then sail with the ship. There was no need to show up in a hurry.

Just wait until the right time comes forward to express your intention.

And today, the right time has finally arrived.

As the guardians of the Yin-Yang family and the highest-ranking people under the leader, Yueshen and Xinghun know nothing about mirages. At most, they only know a few superficial things by looking up information. They are completely confused about how to deal with this thing.

But this trouble was destined from the beginning that only the Yin and Yang family knew how to solve it.

Gu Xun and Ying Zheng both knew this.

Ying Zheng asked Gu Xun to come to Sanghai, not to personally solve the big trouble at sea, but to check and balance the Yin and Yang family.

Not only did he send an official document to Gu Xun, he also sent a secret urging letter to Donghuang Taiyi.

To truly solve the problem, you have to look to Donghuang Taiyi.

Today is the time when Donghuang Taiyi’s reply is sent to Songhai.

Gu Xun also showed up and received the reply personally.

The method given by Donghuang Taiyi was much clearer than those of the alchemists and warlocks. In a nutshell - shoot the mirage with a crossbow.

There is no fantasy at all, it is very real and reliable. The only difficulty is how to put it into practice.

The phantom mist exhaled by the mirage cannot even enter, and its true position cannot be determined.

How to shoot this?

Even if the opponent's position is confirmed, how to kill it if it is located deep in the fog and far beyond the shooting range of the bow and crossbow?

This purely physical method did not need to be proposed by Donghuang Taiyi. Everyone could think of it, but everyone agreed that it was not operable.

And Donghuang Taiyi gave his solution.
