Blackrock City is heavily guarded and the atmosphere is tense, with guards patrolling at all times.
Jiang Yuebai waited for the entire night until dawn the next day, when a team of city guards wearing black leather armor with the Candle Dragon totem printed on their backs and holding spears ran past her. Only then did she see a short man at the end of the team, who broke away from the team and walked towards the street.
The man was wearing a helmet and looked around. Jiang Yuebai saw the pair of sharp eyes and knew it was Yan Miao.
She stepped forward in stealth mode, grabbed Yan Miao's arm, and pulled him into the field of the Ningguang Mirror.
She opened a very small area, because it was all mirrors, which could perfectly reflect the surrounding environment and absorb all abnormal auras, making this corner "invisible".
"It's me!"
Jiang Yuebai let go of Yan Miao, Yan Miao took off his helmet and looked at Jiang Yuebai excitedly, "Kun Dao, it's really you, you really came to find me!"
Jiang Yuebai nodded, "To make a long story short, I need your help."
Yan Miao nodded vigorously, "I know, Mr. Shen told me. He asked me to tell you that instead of letting me take you into the Candle Dragon Palace, it would be better for you to turn into me and go in by yourself. Come on, I'm ready."
Yan Miao's eyes were full of excitement, and he opened his arms as if to let Jiang Yuebai play with him.
Jiang Yuebai was a little confused, "What are you doing?"
Yan Miao blinked, "Aren't you going to look at my memory?"
Jiang Yuebai suddenly realized that it seemed that Shen Huaixi had already told Yan Miao everything that needed to be said. Indeed, it would be safer for her to directly transform into Yan Miao and then read Yan Miao's memory.
"I will use my spiritual sense to enter your sea of consciousness. It will be very painful. If you are not careful, you will become a fool." Jiang Yuebai reminded.
This is actually a soul search, but it can be a little milder on a voluntary basis.
Yan Miaoyi said without hesitation, "Kun Dao, if it weren't for you and Mr. Shen, I wouldn't be who I am today. You are my mentor, and Mr. Shen has taught me a lot. You are not going to kill me, so I can still endure this pain."
"Besides, the Zhu brothers and sisters are cruel. If the Wu Clan continues to be under their tyranny, no one will have a good life. I know you want to help the Wu Clan, so I want to help you."
Yan Miao understood the righteousness of the matter, but Jiang Yuebai was increasingly reluctant to see her disappear along with Dahuang.
If possible, it would be nice to take them to be the master's apprentice. Their names all contain the word "Miao", isn't that wonderful
Wait, doesn’t this mean Yan Miao is my uncle
It’s not appropriate. It’s better to leave it to Master Canghuo. She used to like raising small animals in the tribe. It would be nice for her to be Yunchang’s junior sister.
"Then bear with it."
Jiang Yuebai pointed her fingers at Yan Miao's brows. Her control over spiritual energy and consciousness had already reached a subtle level. As long as Yan Miao did not resist, she would not feel uncomfortable at all.
Soon, Jiang Yuebai read all of Yan Miao's memories, especially the part about his duty in the Candle Dragon Palace, and recorded them in his sea of consciousness, turning them into a glowing bubble.
When it is no longer needed, you can destroy it to avoid affecting yourself.
"It doesn't hurt?" Yan Miao pressed his forehead in confusion.
Jiang Yuebai's whole body began to change rapidly. In the blink of an eye, his figure grew taller, and his skin turned from fair to dark and rough, becoming exactly the same as Yan Miao in front of him.
“It’s like looking in a mirror.”
Yan Miao exclaimed in amazement while raising his hands and feet towards Jiang Yuebai, while Jiang Yuebai kept imitating Yan Miao's expression and movements, just like looking in a mirror.
Yan Miao's unique skill that is well-known to everyone in the Candle Dragon Palace is those fire talismans, and Jiang Yuebai knows them himself, which makes it easier for him to disguise himself.
"Give me your clothes and weapons."
Yan Miao quickly took off her leather armor, leaving only the lining, and Jiang Yuebai took out a new robe and put it on her.
"I'll take you to a place. Although I don't know if I can take you out of the wilderness, it's always good to try."
Yan Miao's eyes became firm, and he bowed like a human cultivator and said, "It's all up to Kun Dao!"
Jiang Yuebai took Yan Miao into the lotus platform small world and gave him to Yan Hongyu to take care of. The golden-eyed eagle was also taken care of by Yan Hongyu. Jiang Yuebai asked Yan Hongyu to feed the golden-eyed eagle some sea water from the small world every day.
The sea water contains the power of chaos, which can create all things. Perhaps it can create bodies for the golden-eyed eagle and Yan Miao.
After putting on Yan Miao's leather armor and picking up the black iron spear, Jiang Yuebai put the helmet with dragon horns on his head and recalled Yan Miao's memories.
At the moment, there is a shortage of manpower in the city, so as the guards of the inner palace, after the shift change in the inner palace, they still need to go to the city to assist in the guard duty.
The next time Yan Miao went to the inner hall to change guard was at dusk.
Jiang Yuebai found the team that had been separated before, and the leader asked her where she had been. Jiang Yuebai responded like Yan Miao usually did, saying that she saw an acquaintance and went to talk to him for a few words.
The leader knew that Yan Miao was the inner palace guard, so he didn't dare to say anything and continued patrolling the city with a team of people.
The streets were filled with hawking sounds. As Jiang Yuebai walked, he carefully checked Yan Miao's memory, especially the part where she was on duty in the inner hall.
She saw many scenes of Zhu Jiuyou and Shen Huaixi discussing how to subdue the various tribes of the Witch Clan. Shen Huaixi was so eloquent that he could even bring ghosts back to life, which made Zhu Jiuyou trust him quite a bit.
But at this moment, even Yan Miao didn't know where Shen Huaixi had gone. The last time he saw Shen Huaixi was before Zhu Jiuyou led his men to the battle.
Suddenly, Jiang Yuebai stopped and saw a person in Yan Miao's memory whom she hadn't seen for a long time but whom she would never forget in her life.
Qi Siheng!
This guy lives in the Zhulong Palace. On the day he entered the Zhulong Palace, it was Yan Miao who led the way for him. As Wei's distinguished guest, he was arranged to live in the back palace.
Since then, Yan Miao would occasionally hear the sound of the piano when he passed by there on patrol, which meant that Qi Siheng had always been there.
Shen Huaixi said that there is a trace of Wei's soul in Qi Siheng's body. Could it be that Wei is living in Qi Siheng's body at this moment
The guard in front walked away, Jiang Yuebai quickly followed, thinking carefully.
If she was in danger, she would not choose Qi Siheng because it was too obvious.
It is even possible that Wei put Qi Siheng there to lure out the enemy. If someone does something bad to Qi Siheng, it means that he is intending to do something bad to Wei, and Wei can get rid of that person in secret.
In Yan Miao's memory, she had never seen Wei.
It seems that in order to find Wei's true identity, we must first find Shen Huaixi, or make long-term plans.
The patrol lasted until the afternoon, and Jiang Yuebai had half a day to rest. At dusk, Jiang Yuebai returned to the inner hall to change shifts according to Yan Miao's memory.
Yan Miao was standing guard at the entrance to the inner hall. From the entrance, he could see two rows of tall black stone pillars supporting a space in the inner hall. It was dark and cold, with only the light of fire swaying in the wind.
Zhu Jiuyou doesn't like being disturbed, so no one can enter the inner hall without her order.
At this moment, Zhu Jiuyou was not in the inner hall. Jiang Yuebai stood at the entrance of the inner hall, pressed the Bai Ze corner in his lapel, and prayed for good luck.
When she was on duty in the second half of the night, Jiang Yuebai heard footsteps. She quickly straightened her back and saw Zhu Jiuyou walking slowly towards her with a man.
Jiang Yuebai recognized Shen Huaixi at a glance. He had a pale face and a black iron ring around his neck with chains on it connected to his hands, binding him tightly.
Zhu Jiuyou's face looked very bad, even a little absent-minded. He walked with Shen Huaixi to the entrance of the inner hall and stopped.
"You two, bring him with me. If he makes any move, kill him on the spot!"
Jiang Yuebai lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at Shen Huaixi. He immediately said "yes" together with the guards beside him.
See you tomorrow~
