"Aman, stop for a moment." Yun Qing held Aman's shoulder with one hand, covered her mouth with the other and coughed.
Seeing that she was coughing badly, Amang immediately panicked and stood there not knowing what to do, with a vague sob coming from his throat.
Aman's strides were big and he walked fast. He got rid of Song Liyou in a few strokes and went deep into the forest. In fact, Yun Qing originally wanted to go with Song Liyou, but she didn't expect her injury to be more serious than expected. She was afraid that Song Liyou would take advantage of the opportunity to do something wrong, so she could only get away quickly.
"Don't panic, don't panic...cough cough cough..." Yun Qing reassured, "I won't faint like last time. Can Aman still remember the old tea uncle in the ancient city over there?"
"Before, I was caught up by the envoy in white at the border of Shiwanda Mountain. I forcibly fused the heavenly book I just stole to escape. After that, my health went from bad to worse." Yun Qing stretched out his hand, and Aman put his head under her hand, An An Quietly let her caress, "Fortunately, I found Fang Cunzhan from the body of the white-clothed emissary, ahem... Only then can I travel thousands of miles from the Shiwan Dashan to reach the ancient city."
"When I left the ancient city, the old tea uncle gave me the pot of heaven and earth. It seems to be a pair with Fang Cunzhan." Yun Qing reached down and touched the pot hanging around Aman's neck, "I don't know that old man Where did it come from. It seems that he had expected that I would pass there, and prepared such a big gift for me."
Yun Qing frowned again, and there was a deep imprint between her brows. She had always been far from the carefree of this age.
"Forget it, there are quite a few people who are proficient in divination and numerology." Yun Qing shook her head, and she didn't have time to think about it right now, "It's just... since Uncle Cha can figure out my whereabouts, maybe others can too. This trip is to find immortals , although I borrowed Daoyuan's fate to cover myself, I should be more careful in the future."
Amang didn't seem to understand anything, but looked up at her in a panic, for fear that she would vomit blood again.
Feeling his gaze, Yun Qing smiled, but there was a trace of worry in her expression: "Don't look at it, I won't get better no matter how much you look at it. Now we must find a way to cultivate the truth, carrying the treasures of heaven and earth with a mortal body will eventually not escape the fall. "
She didn't care what she said, but Aman was even more flustered, and the humming sound kept shaking, causing the birds in the forest to scatter in all directions.
"Let's go, let's go, Aman, I feel better." Yun Qing patted the back of the big man's head, "Maybe we can find something to ease the situation here."
Amang didn't dare to refuse, supported her calf, and ran forward along the path.

Xie Yao walked very slowly.
He didn't even go out much since he was a child, and his body is weak. Mountain climbing is really difficult for him.
But he moved forward step by step, and walked steadily, not tepidly.
"This place is densely wooded, and there is only such a small path. If you walk down here, you will definitely find them... Oops!" Xie Yao comforted himself.
Xie Yao really thought about it, and suddenly staggered and almost fell.
He looked down and saw a vine lying in the middle of the road. Xie Yao looked along the vines, eyes full of green green mixed with a touch of lime-white.
Xie Yao approached the weird thing and saw it more clearly.
The gray-white rock looks like an incomplete square shape. Half of it was obliquely inserted into the soil, and the other half was half swallowed by the giant tree. Plants such as moss are also attached to the exposed places.
Xie Yao squatted down and got closer, only then did he see some uneven writing on it. He rolled up his sleeves, bent down and started cleaning the sticky plants.
"Maybe it's something that remembers the parting palace... But Yun Qing must be worried after I disappeared for so long."
Xie Yao didn't know whether to observe the stone carefully or hurry on his way.
"Forget it, even if I catch up with them now, I can't help much, I can only hold back. Why don't you check this stone and see if there is anything useful." Xie Yao struggled for a while, and finally made up his mind .
He didn't know that Yun Qing was too busy to take care of himself at this time, and he was very relieved about his disappearance.
As soon as Xie Yao thought of someone reading him, he immediately became motivated. He speeded up his hands to get rid of the fine debris, and began to deal with these vines. The vines were covered with fine thorns, while Xie Yao avoided them, he picked out the vines with a wooden stick.
"The tree is so big that you can't see the top. I don't know how long it has grown. It seems that the stone is older than the tree."
After spending a long time, Xie Yao was so tired that he was sweating profusely, and finally cleaned up the messy trees and vines.
"It looks like a stone tablet..." Xie Yao wiped his forehead with his sleeve, and began to read the writing on it.
"... From this, the feeling of the other is moved, and the response of the other's answer... If it is the way, it will advance, if it is not the way, it will retreat... Pointing to the three lights, looking at the sun and the moon for a long time."
Xie Yao read it intermittently, the words on it were in ancient script, few people could recognize them now. Coupled with the places that have been obliterated and damaged by time, he couldn't see what it was talking about.
Xie Yao rubbed his sore shoulder, but when he raised his hand, he accidentally scratched the side vine.
"Ouch!" Xie Yao cried out in pain, looking at his hand, unexpectedly a big gash was drawn by the stab.
Xie Yao shook his hands, wanting to cry but not crying.
"Huh!?" The vines that he brought to the side just now revealed a part of the stele again.
The stele should be halfway into the ground, and the exposed part is about the middle of the stele. Xie Yao took a closer look, and there was a strangely shaped groove in that place.
"It looks... a little familiar." Xie Yao shook his head and thought, suddenly his eyes lit up, "That's right!"
He reached out and took out the jade ruyi from his bosom, compared it with the groove for a while, and found that the two were exactly the same.
"This... Could it be that Qiyu is here?" Xie Yao swallowed, and put the jade ruyi in the groove with some unease, and pressed it hard.

It has been a long time since Yun Qing left, but Song Liyou still remained where he was, with a sinister smile on his face.
"This little girl's body is weird, and she can't do anything without being sure. Now I can only look at this Xie." Song Liyou took out a small astrolabe from his arms.
It was through this astrolabe that he brought the two of them into Shinto.
Hidden in Tianshan, Farewell Palace. This is no longer a human world, but a so-called "divine domain".
Everything in the world has a spirit, so every plant and tree can become a god. Everything in the world has a definite trend, so there is the existence of laws and regulations, that is, God.
Flower God, River God, Sea God, or the God of Spring like Emperor Qing.
The Farewell Palace was the place where Qing Emperor relied on during his lifetime, and also the place where his bones were buried after his fall. Countless people have tried to find this place for countless years, but for an existence like the Qing Emperor, even if he dies, the God's Domain can last forever. As long as the realm of the gods is not destroyed, the only way to find the parting palace is to follow the way of the gods.
"Shinto" is the path of gods walking, in which there are various illusions and countless changes. Physical humans are invisible, but not impossible to find.
For example, the astrolabe in Song Liyou's hand is one of the ways to determine the position of the Shinto.
Ordinary people probably describe the places as "under the big tree at the entrance of the village" and "in the well behind the house". But these things can't stand the vicissitudes of life and change too fast, and for the gods, they may be annihilated in the blink of an eye.
So if you have great power, you can use the stars to determine the position of the gods. There are countless stars in the sky, and they are preserved longer and easier to identify than the reference objects on the ground.
If someone explores the divine way bit by bit, compares its position with the stars, and records it bit by bit on the astrolabe, then it can be passed on to future generations so that future generations can know where it is.
So Song Liyou's hard work over the past century, that is, the astrolabe, is the most important.
"I lured that kid away on purpose, that's all." Song Liyou looked at the position of the astrolabe to determine where he should go, "But that little girl dared to walk forward so self-consciously, or she didn't know life or death, or..."
A stern look flashed in his eyes: "Or there are more detailed records."
There are also good and bad charts, and a more detailed chart can help him avoid many deadly checkpoints.
"Hmph, I have an astrolabe in my hand to locate her. Just follow the fragrance I put on that girl to find her. At that time, try to ambush... Be sure to get the things in her hand."

Xie Yao only felt his eyes go dark, and he felt as if he was being grabbed by the collar and turned dozens of times in the air, and then fell hard to the ground.
"Ouch!!"
Xie Yao screamed fiercely and fell down heavily.
He rubbed his bottom and found himself lying on the cold stone floor. Looking up, I was suddenly dumbfounded.
In front of you is a magnificent palace that cannot be described in words. The whole piece of white boulder outlines the general shape of the palace, and there are no other colors except for blue, white and light ink.
The eaves alone have the potential to cover the sky and the sun, and the whole palace can't see the head at all. The steps are paved with bluestone around, and there are countless stone statues of rare birds and animals standing on the edge of the steps, all of which are lifelike. Take a closer look at the white stone ground, which is also painted with colorful clouds and gods dancing wildly. The dome is covered with spider web-like fine ink lines, but it is not messy at all. There is a pool in the center, filled with thick white mist, the mist escapes, transpiring into the appearance of nine flying dragons.
Xie Yao was overwhelmed before he could take a closer look at these, but a sharp pain in his spine immediately put his mind back.
Xie Yao wanted to support himself, but his hand touched something warm. Looking down, it was Yu Ruyi.
As soon as Yu Ruyi held it in her hand, she emitted a faint light, and a wave of warmth rushed to her heart from her hand.
"Human nature is profound and peaceful. When it comes to the environment and movement, everything is false."
Xie Yao was startled, and vaguely heard an indistinguishable male and female voice whispering in his ear.
"If one thought is wrong, it will be hell. Respect the gentleness and sweat."
The sound was getting louder and louder, it was deafening.
"Simmer the fire in your heart, and tame your horse. Use yourself as a mirror, and tell those who come."
"Simmer the heart fire, tame the gas horse..." Xie Yao couldn't help but read along with the voice.
He didn't notice that the white qi emitted by Yu Ruyi transformed into various shapes, all of which entered his body.
