Chapter 68 No one knows
Compared with these two things, the matter of Xu Yue shining is a bit insignificant. Who can tell Su Yan what happened here last night??
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he was carrying the harvest of last night's hard work, Su Yan would have almost thought that he was just having a dream.
Raising his hands, he grasped the bronze door knocker and the fixing mirror tightly, making them sweaty.
Su Yanxian put these two things away silently. He began to think seriously. What happened last night was definitely not false, but it seemed...only he knew it?
As for why this happened, Su Yan has two guesses:
The first one is that everything that happened after he saw the dark image in his Dantian last night was from the perspective of his soul.
Su Yan thought he had sent out a signal, but in fact it was just an imagination in his mind; even when he entered the mirror world, he also entered through an out-of-body method.
Although it's a bit doubtful that the soul can bring back so many things after leaving the body, there is one thing that can support this conjecture.
Didn't Su Yan stab himself in the mirror world? But after returning to the real world, he found that his thigh was not injured at all.
Another conjecture is that Su Yan did enter the mirror world in the physical body, but the mirror world has the ability to cover up its own existence.
Ever since Su Yan saw the dark image, all the movements he made were covered up by some invisible force to prevent more people from noticing, rushing over, and discovering the entrance to the mirror world.
Moreover, after Su Yan's physical body entered, the mirror image took his place and sat there. Even if someone came, they would not be able to easily discover the truth.
As for why Su Yan was not injured, it may also be due to the need to cover up.
Because the smell of blood might attract people, the moment Su Yan passed through the mirror world, his wounds healed automatically.
......
No matter which conjecture is closer to the truth, now that things have happened, the most important thing is what to do next?
Su Yan decided to ask Chen Yingnian and others about the situation after returning.
If, as he thought, no one knew what happened last night, then he had an idea in his mind:
Keep this secret for now!
Su Yan's idea is very simple:
If he tells Qingcheng Palace everything now, then most of the treasures in the Jingtian Sect's ruins will have nothing to do with him. He will get a certain reward, but that's it.
Moreover, Su Yan cannot interfere with the exploration plan of Qingcheng Palace. If someone accidentally releases the white mist and aurora, he will hardly be spared in Qingcheng Cave, and he will have to apply to even go out.
In the end, Su Yan's goal was not to monopolize it. After all, without the knocker given by Qingcheng Palace, he would not have the chance to enter the ruins.
He hopes to wait until he becomes stronger in the future and has enough voice to join forces with Qingcheng Palace to jointly develop the ruins of Jingtian Sect.
If he tells this secret now, he will be completely passive; if he tells it at that time, it will be Su Yan who has the initiative.
Making up his mind, Su Yan followed a deserted forest path and returned to the small courtyard where he lived alone.
......
After changing her clothes and putting away the things in her bag, Su Yan went to find Chen Yingnian first.
The reason for his inquiry was very simple. He said that when he was practicing last night, he seemed to hear some noises. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He wanted to ask Chen Yingnian if he heard it.
Of course Chen Yingnian didn't hear it, he just answered truthfully and asked Su Yan to relax and not practice continuously for too long.
This made Su Yan feel a little ashamed. He could only say silently in his heart: Next time I will definitely take you and Gu Zhenren in with the others in Qingcheng Palace. If you agree not to take it all to yourself, I will never take it to yourself.
Later, Su Yan stopped asking people everywhere, which would make him look suspicious.
He only walked around on Tiantong Peak. Everything was normal everywhere, and no one discussed "what happened last night" at all.
Seeing this, Su Yan temporarily relaxed and returned to his residence.
......
Now that it is safe, Su Yan finally has time to fiddle with the things he brought out from the ruins, which include the following in total:
A set of women's treasured clothes, bronze door lock (missing key), small thousand world talisman, nameless rattan, nameless mask, hairpin, dagger, elixir, and manuscript.
Su Yan studied the manuscript first. This was what he wanted to do in the ruins, but unfortunately before he had time, it was dark.
This manuscript is actually just a stack of unbound white paper, but it seems that the material and the pen and ink used are extraordinary, so it has been preserved until now.
The handwriting on it is extremely messy, like ghostly symbols, and the font should be some kind of ancient seal script.
And it was not in classical Chinese format. It was obvious that the person who left these words was not making serious records, but more like venting his inner thoughts to himself. He did not dare to speak directly, so he could only write
Way out.
In addition to the text, the manuscript also contains some messy painting sketches, which look a bit like Taoist palaces?
I have to say that the painting is very poor, like a three-year-old child's graffiti.
Su Yan spent half an hour slowly interpreting this pile of things, but the actual amount of information it carried was not much. Just the parts that Su Yan could identify could only barely outline a conjecture.
"Change the name? Jingtian Sect inherits xxxx, how can you just change it at any time? xxxx must not be child's play..."
"Seven Taoist palaces, hanging in the sky, do not exist in this world..."
"The headmaster spoke categorically, calling him xxxx, and on the other side of the mirror xxxx, there are seven Taoist palaces that contain all the laws of heaven and earth."
"That is definitely not any small world. The limit is xxxx. It is impossible for xxxx to breed such a level of great treasure."
"Is there really another vast world? Is there really another universe outside the endless realm? I don't believe it..."
"The headmaster is possessed by a demon. He wants to move the entire sect to xxxx. How can I stop him?"
"Even my uncle and my uncle xxxx support the headmaster. What should I do, what should I do..."
In the first half, Su Yan can still see some order, but the second half is a bit crazy, with no preface and follow-up.
Moreover, something seemed to have happened during the so-called "migration" of the Jingtian Sect. The sect was destroyed overnight and many people died. The last words left by the owner of the manuscript were:
"Be born in the mirror sky, die in the mirror sky, drink and peck in the world, is it destiny?"
Putting down the manuscript, Su Yan sorted out the sequence:
Many years ago, Jingtian Sect should have been a prominent immortal cultivating sect in the world, and the exercises and Taoism practiced were mainly mirror-type.
But one day, their leader didn't know whether he went crazy or accidentally communicated with some evil god. Anyway, he seemed to see another world in the mirror.
There are seven Taoist treasures in that world, and they should all look like Taoist palaces suspended in the sky.
This made the leader of Jingtian Sect become obsessed with it. How obsessed was he? He even changed [Jingtian Sect] to [Xuantian Sect].
