Ask the Mirror Chapter 100: Scroll of all the heavens and peaks (9)

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Asking Mirror!

Yu Ci revised his statement, and then said to Lu Ya; "Let's visit from the main entrance."

As he spoke, he led the female cultivator around half of the courtyard and walked all the way to the main entrance.

There is also no courtyard wall here, only a half-person-high fence, woven with green and yellow leaves and vines, which looks quite wild, and the outer door is open.

There is no light source here, but there is an inexplicable abundance of light, as if there is light from the sky hanging down, which is in sharp contrast with the turbid fog outside the courtyard.

In fact, with the height of the fence, Yu Ci can completely see the layout of the courtyard inside. The front yard is a three-room thatched cottage that is quite neat and elegant.

Each house is built with branches of plants and trees, and some flowers and trees are planted in the courtyard. At first glance, it looks just neat and tidy, but after a few more glances, there is an air of peace and tranquility, just like the mountains and wilderness. The residence of a gentleman can't help but raise expectations for the taste of the owner of the courtyard.

It’s just that things have changed now.

Yu Ci and Lu Ya entered the courtyard one after another. Yu Ci was okay, but Lu Ya, who had already been awakened, was shaken in front of this familiar scenery and actually took the initiative to say:

"Madam, she should have left..."

"So what?"

"I..."

In fact, Lu Ya didn't even know what she wanted to say. She opened her mouth, but fell silent in the end. At this moment, Yu Ci motioned her to look forward. When Lu Ya raised her gaze, her whole body was suffocated.

Looking at the direction of the main hall from here, the door is also open, and there is nothing wrong with it. But at this moment, there is a withered palm, holding the door frame, and with a little help, a figure appears. It's just that most of it is hidden in the shadows in the hall. Only the eyes are lit by two clusters of dim light.

Lu Ya's heart suddenly twitched. The strange aura coming from the opposite side merged with her unstable mentality, violently bombarding her heart, causing her to lose her mind. In the midst of confusion, an afterimage appeared in the corner of her eyes. In a flash, nine smoke flew up silently.

At this moment, she saw that this monk, who had always been famous for refining spices, had a layer of gray mist-like area blooming outside his body, and there was a blood-red halo under his feet, turning and swallowing. It was from there, Two electric lights of the same blood-red color exploded.

Then she saw that the palm that was holding on to the door frame broke away, and it seemed that the owner of the hand fell backwards. There was surprisingly no sound or any vibration, like an unreal nightmare.

Jiu Yan didn't move anymore. He stopped at the door and cast his gaze into the shadow behind the door.

Looking at his back, Lu Ya was stunned for a long time, and finally felt that her mood had calmed down slightly. She gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to move forward.

Jiuyan also happened to call her up: "Do you recognize these two people?"

Lu Ya went to Jiuyan and looked into the hall.

It turned out that there was more than one figure in the hall, only two bodies were seen, both in skirts and buns, lying on the ground. At first, she thought it was Yu Ci's killer, but she soon woke up and paid attention. The exposed skin of the two corpses was indeed dry and covered with bones, without any luster of life. They should be mummies formed under special circumstances.

"I have been dead for at least a few months...the reason why I can still move is because of this!"

Hearing Jiuyan's signal, Lu Ya looked down and saw an inexplicable shadow between the two people's feet. Its shape was as curling as smoke. When she looked back, she couldn't see anything corresponding to it. Obviously, this shadow It's not a shadow, but something strange.

It's just that this thing is being immobilized by the blood-like turbidity at Yu Ci's feet, and it's difficult to get out with a struggle.

Lu Ya was just guessing what kind of method this was, when he heard the person whisper: "Shadow Puppet..."

Lu Ya's heart was excited: "Liu Guan!"

"It looks right. Please confirm the identities of these two people."

This was Jiuyan’s second order. Lu Ya didn’t want to hear it a third time. She squatted down, turned over a prone mummy, and stared at its withered and deformed face. She recognized it for a long time, and then looked at it again. The other one, after a few breaths, she had reconstructed the skull and facial muscles and figured out the identities of the two:

"She is Madam's maidservant and a watcher..."

"Really?"

Just looking at the two people's attire, Yu Ci knew with her knees that this was definitely not Mrs. Huang Quan, but Liu Guan's arrival was still a bit surprising.

The smoky shadow on the ground is indeed Liu Guan's aura.

Calculating the time, maybe when Lu Chen was besieged by the six earth immortals, he found this place and killed two Sasou maids, but obviously found nothing, otherwise he would not have left the shadow puppet - this thing is nothing Ci had seen it when he was in Cliff City. At that time, he didn't know what it was. It was only later that he slowly pieced together the truth.

Although the image is different and the effect is different, at least back then, the shadow puppet was never attached to the dead body. Yu Ci took the initiative to block the information transmission with the three-party energy, so as not to expose her own situation. The shadow puppets back then did not seem to have this function, but one must always be careful.

While Lu Ya was identifying the two mummies, Yu Ci was also observing the situation in the foyer. Although they were separated by several months, Liu Guan was so skilled that he left a trace in the courtyard without deliberately concealing it. If you search carefully for all the traces, you can find clues.

Yu Ci could feel that in the front yard, Liu Guan's aura was almost nonexistent, but in the foyer, there was a sudden and explosive increase.

Perhaps, Liu Guan was very cautious when he first entered the courtyard, but later he discovered something unexpected and suddenly exerted his strength, and the trajectory of its movement...

Yu Ci slowly walked into the main hall, glanced at the furnishings in the hall, and continued inside without stopping too much. The remaining traces of Liu Guan's breath are almost a straight line, going straight from the hall to the back hall, then passing through the cloister and reaching the middle of the courtyard.

That should be the owner's residence.

Yu Ci signaled Lu Ya to follow him and walked in step by step. Although the remnants of Liu Guan's aura were still clear, he could feel that it was relatively stable during this period. There was no sign of fighting with a strong enemy, except for the attack. Kill the two maids who were sweeping and watching, and then they should be followed all the way.

How big is the courtyard?

The whole process should have lasted for less than a breath, and the object Liu Guan was tracking should not have been blocked here. As for whether he escaped completely or was forced into the Lake of Hell to fight to the death, Yu Ci did not know. Can know.

The only thing Yu Ci can confirm is that Liu Guan should have rushed all the way and never looked back.

He thought slightly, and the power of the blood prison thunder pool immediately crushed the remnants of the shadow puppet, and still no information was leaked. Of course, it was beyond his control whether the Shadow Puppet and Liu Guan had some kind of solid connection, and whether they would react due to the sudden isolation of the connection.

Anyway, his time is now precious.
