Princess Biyuan was a rare beauty, but she was still inferior to Qingqing. Of course, she had this idea not because Qingqing looked similar to her. Qingqing was such a gentle and elegant woman in the painting, like a beautiful and peaceful orchid in the valley. In comparison, she was much rougher, even a little sharp. I'm afraid the two of them had no similarities except for their appearance.
Mu Lin felt that it was normal for her to be unhappy that such a woman was trying to hit on her master. However, she was so distracted that she didn't even notice that Orikawa was looking at her with deep eyes.
Bi Yuan had been immersed in happiness. Following Zhechuan's gaze, she saw Mu Lin and Yin Wan approaching. She stopped talking and laughing with some regret, and greeted them with a smile: "Why are you walking so slowly? We have only walked a short distance. If you delay any longer, you won't be able to return before dark."
Yin Wan's face was full of complicated expressions, and she forced a smile and said, "Seeing that elder sister and the emperor were having a good chat, I didn't come to spoil the mood."
A hint of smile flashed across Mu Lin's slightly raised eyes, and he saw Yin Wan's expression change in a second. She just looked indifferent, but as soon as she entered her sister's sight, she instantly showed the complicated mood of "secretly in love with a man together with her sister".
It is even more magical than the Sichuan Opera in the human world.
Bi Yuan smiled more gently at her adopted sister, and said considerately: "How could it spoil the mood? I just saw that the Emperor was a little interested in these things, so I explained them to him..."
Yin Wan pretended not to understand her boasting and smiled brightly in response: "Then I will explain it to the Emperor. My sister is busy managing Penglai, but I often come here to hang out, so I know more."
Bi Yuan's smile faded, but before she could say anything, Emperor Zhechuan beside her spoke up, his tone was very cold and distant: "No need, I want to go back and rest."
Orikawa had learned everything he wanted to know. In his eyes, instead of listening to their nonsense here, it would be better to go back and finish reading the book. The book sent by the eldest princess was indeed what he liked.
Bi Yuan reacted immediately and smiled at him apologetically: "I will send the emperor back. I have a little guess about the divine talisman just now."
Zhechuan had already started to walk up. Biyuan didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly reminded him, "Yinwan, you continue to accompany Jiucang Immortal Lord to stroll here... Be careful not to wander to the bottom floor, it's not safe there."
Bi Yuan saw her serious expression, and Yin Wan rarely put on a serious face, and promised solemnly: "Don't worry, sister, I won't take the Immortal Lord to a dangerous place!"
Biyuan nodded and trotted off to catch up with Zhechuan. Yinwan looked at her receding figure with a mocking smile on her lips, as her shrewd elder sister was blinded by love.
"Let's go, Immortal Lord. I will take you on a tour."
Mu Lin just watched the whole show quietly, secretly sighing that this pair of fake sisters are both top-notch acting masters. She could even learn from them, and when she returns to the mortal world to gain experience, maybe she could even make a living with it.
Mu Lin said with a hint of respect: "Please."
Yin Wan looked at her in surprise. Why was she suddenly so polite? Wasn’t she very arrogant when she threatened her
Mu Lin's smile was friendly and innocent. If Yin Wan knew what she was thinking, she would definitely make a fuss.
Yin Wan grabbed Mu Lin's arm and quickly ran downstairs with her, saying calmly as they walked: "Let's act now, we have to hurry."
"Now?" Mu Lin stumbled as she pulled him. He steadied himself and followed her movements, wondering, "Tonight would be more appropriate. If we do it now, the princess will inevitably suspect us."
Yin Wan knew Bi Yuan very well. "You are outsiders. She just warned me so much that she might have become a little wary. With her suspicious nature, she will probably open the sealing formation after we leave. Don't even think about coming in!"
Mu Lin was not a person who hesitated. She just said, "Then I will ask you one last time. Is the thing we are looking for really down there?"
"Ninety percent chance."
"Then give it a try."
As they were talking, the two of them had already run to the mountainside. With nearly half the distance left, Yin Wan suddenly stopped. Mu Lin also hurriedly stopped and looked at her inquiringly.
“I knew it!” Yin Wan gritted her teeth as she stared at the road below. “How could she trust me? She changed the magic circle below! Originally, I could walk to the second to last floor unimpeded, but now, believe it or not, as long as I continue walking, I will be trapped in the mirror loop of the upper half!”
If you walk down a few steps, you will see the scene you just saw. When the two of them reached the bottom, they actually walked to the top, which was a waste of effort!
"The Jade Steps don't look much different." Mu Lin seemed to be thinking, "It seems that when Princess Bi Yuan left, she used some token to trigger the Reflection Rotation Array, and the center of the array shifted."
"Can you tell?" Yin Wan was skeptical.
The knowledge of formations has been in decline for many years. It is not only obscure and difficult to understand, but also of little use unless it is studied to a very high level. Looking at the entire fairy world, there are few people who are proficient in it. Not to mention that she doesn't understand it, even Bi Yuan only has a vague understanding of it. This reflection whirlpool formation was left by the ancestors of the Cang Luan clan. The clan leader only needs to know it and be able to use it, and there is no need to delve into it so deeply.
Mu Lin thought that she could not only see it, but also had the confidence to break the formation, and after mastering the principle, she could rebuild a new one... Time was tight, and it was difficult to explain so much, and to make it clear, so Mu Lin just said to her: "I'll explain it to you later, just follow me to break the formation first."
"oh."
This time, Mu Lin pulled Yin Wan down and entered the formation to break it.
Yin Wan reminded: "Even if you can really break the formation, you must be careful not to alarm Bi Yuan. What if she has any connection with the formation..."
Although Mu Lin didn't know Bi Yuan, she knew about the magic circle. She said without turning her head, "No, she must have thrown the token into the magic circle while we were not paying attention. The high-level formation only needs the token to be activated. The token is also her only connection with the magic circle... Yin Wan, do you know what kind of token she used?"
Jade and metal have different properties, so Mu Lin needs to eliminate one.
"How would I know..." Bi Yuan has always been cautious. How could he easily tell her what the things he was wearing, what were the magic tools and what were the tokens
"It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out. It just takes a little longer. Be patient and don't make any noise to disturb me."
"Oh." Yin Wan felt that she could not help in any way and felt a little annoyed. She began to think hard about what might be a token on Bi Yuan's body, something she had seen.
Biyuan didn't like gold, jade and gems, she only wore them occasionally, and most of them were later given to her... In this respect, Biyuan was really a good sister.
But what Bi Yuan often wears is probably the mithril ring on her hand? When Yin Wan was a child, she liked to cling to Bi Yuan, and she inevitably noticed that when Bi Yuan was absent-minded or thinking, she would always unconsciously rub the ring. This habit has continued for hundreds of years. Of course, she has noticed the ring, but the ring is simple in shape and looks a bit old. It really does not meet her aesthetic taste, so she never asked her sister for it - could it be this
The more Yin Wan thought about it, the more suspicious she felt, and she told Mu Lin without hesitation.
"Mithril..." Mu Lin muttered, stopped, lowered his eyes and thought.
Mithril is most closely related to the elements of gold and water. In other words, as long as she calculates where the elements of gold and water are most abundant, she can calculate the approximate direction of the center of the formation where the token is located.
Mu Lin let go of Yin Wan's arm, concentrated her mind, and began to deduce with the art of Qimen Dunjia. Time was running out, and she didn't have much time to deduce carefully, so she could only keep improving her concentration. As she became more and more absorbed, a simple diagram of the five elements and eight trigrams gradually spread out under her feet, and she stood in the center of the formation. As the deduction continued to improve, the content above became more and more complicated, and if someone saw it, they would definitely feel dazzled.
Yes... in the southwest!
Mu Lin suddenly opened his eyes and said without turning back: "Follow me." After giving the instructions, he walked straight to the southwest.
Yin Wan hadn't recovered yet. She was almost frightened to death by Mu Lin's actions and shouted to her anxiously, "Hey! There are no stairs in that direction. Don't go forward. Do you want to fall? There are no guardrails around. This magic circle can't stop you from committing suicide. Hey!"
Mu Lin frowned, ignoring her shouting and continued to walk forward. Then Yin Wan watched in confusion as Mu Lin lifted his foot off the stairs. She was about to rush over to stop him, but she found that Mu Lin not only did not step into the air, but stood in mid-air instead.
Um
How can it be
Is there an invisible and colorless staircase ahead? !
Didn't the magic array on Fuyao Peak prohibit immortal arts? If she hadn't experienced it herself, Yin Wan would have almost suspected that it was fake.
It seems that Jiucang Immortal Lord is not only capable, but also very capable, and can do things that ordinary immortals cannot do. Yin Wan is more and more convinced that cooperating with her is the right choice.
"Don't just stand there, come and follow me." Mu Lin put both feet in the air and stretched out his hand in her direction.
"Is it safe? I don't want to fall suddenly."
Although she said this, Yin Wan still walked over obediently.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
"..." Yin Wan met Mu Lin's determined eyes, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
This was the first time someone had said something like this to her. Her parents had died early, her elder sister was as vicious as a vicious snake, and her younger brother had to rely on her for protection. Although she looked strong and arrogant, she also had a weak side subconsciously, and Mu Lin inadvertently touched on this point.
Yin Wanhui held her hand, but couldn't help but tilt her head: "If you were a man, I might be attracted to you..."
Mu Lin was doing two things at once. He continued to calculate while pulling her over. "Hmm? What did you say just now?"
Yin Wan was angry and said, "Nothing!"
Mu Lin: “…”
A woman's heart is as unpredictable as the sea, so it is normal for her attitude to change at any time, especially Princess Yinwan, who is a typical example of moodiness.
The two walked in the void for a while, and Mu Lin handed a dagger to Yin Wan: "Bleed."
