My apprentice is a little weird?

Chapter 423: The Master and Servant

Jiang Yan's eyes were half-open, a golden light shone brightly within them. His expression was like that of a god with kind brows and downcast eyes. Then he uttered a low voice, "Trace the light and break the delusion. Command!"

The golden eyes suddenly widened! A dazzling golden light flashed from them, and the surrounding golden light formation seemed to have reached its limit. With a bang, it turned into a sky full of fluorescent light and disappeared without a trace...

After a moment, everything was back to normal, as if nothing had happened.

"gentlemen?"

Yin Li was half surprised and half protecting Jiang Yan. Seeing Jiang Yan standing still, she couldn't help but opened her cherry lips and asked curiously:

"What were you doing?"

Jiang Yan maintained this posture and slowly lowered his head.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock...

A drop of crimson blood dripped gently...

"gentlemen!"

Yin Li quickly came to Jiang Yan's side, wanting to lend a hand but afraid of making Jiang Yan more hurt, so she was anxious and at a loss.

At this moment, Jiang Yan's expression remained the same, but blood was gushing out of his eyes, ears, mouth and nose!

The energy in the body has dropped to the extreme point, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the energy is barely there.

Even though Jiang Yan was cursed and his cultivation was sealed before, and he suffered serious injuries, he was not in as much danger as he is now.

"I...what should I do! What can I do!"

Jiang Yan used all his strength to utter a sentence as soft as a mosquito's voice.

"It's okay... I won't die..."

At this moment, the jade bell on the waist, which had been unresponsive from beginning to end, suddenly flashed with light.

A large amount of vitality surged out of it, ignoring the restrictions of this area and penetrating into Jiang Yan's body, nourishing and repairing his body.

In a short while, Jiang Yan returned to normal, his face even rosier and more energetic than before!

But family members know their own business. He is now just strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and has barely regained his ability to move.

If you want to recover to the state it was before, you probably won’t be able to do that without a few years of nursing.

"Ahem... Just now, I overestimated my own abilities. I thought that since the use of mana is prohibited here, I thought that since I've been doing good deeds and accumulating virtue for many years, using some incense and merit should be enough. So, I used it to set up the Yantian Formation..."

"I didn't expect it to be the will of heaven. It's so damn cruel..."

Jiang Yan said this jokingly, then took out a recliner and lay on it, grabbing a few spiritual fruits to quench his thirst and replenish his vitality.

Yin Li was a little angry.

"Sir! Can you please tell Yin Li in advance what you are going to do next time? You scared me to death!"

"I thought you, sir... Humph!"

Although Yin Li said she was angry, she still cared about Jiang Yan very much in her heart. She acted like a well-behaved guard by his side, always reaching out her hand when Guo came and opening her mouth when Cha came.

"Hehe... I'm sorry to have made little Yinli worried..."

"But it doesn't matter. Risk and opportunity always go hand in hand. Sir, I have gained a lot this time~"

Yin Li perked up: "Mr., how did you get out after you found it?!"

She did not forget that the Root of the Seven Emotions was still twisting the people in the entire market.

Jiang Yan said nothing, just shook his head slightly.

"It's almost there, it's almost there, let's wait..."

"What? Wait?! Sir, you went through all this trouble and now you're telling me to wait?"

"Tsk, the secret cannot be revealed... Hey, hey, don't flip my chair!"

Jiang Yan held down Yin Li who was about to overturn the recliner. He felt that she was becoming more and more relaxed. She was so shy when he first saw her true identity, so why was she acting like a hooligan now?

"Well, it's not impossible. We can just stay here. A way out will eventually come. We just need to wait quietly."

Yin Li curled her lips: "Really?"

"Yep."

Yin Li smiled again.

Originally, she just felt that Jiang Yan's words had room for improvement, so she tried to test it out, but she didn't expect that it would actually work.

So this time he quickly returned to his original state and acted like a well-behaved boy serving tea and water again.

…………

In the middle of the night, Yin Li could no longer hold on. The corners of her eyes turned red and her cheeks bulged slightly, like a small animal with puffed up cheeks. At the end, she even made a "humming" sound.

I yawned loudly.

"It's really hard to adapt to becoming a mortal... I haven't been this sleepy in years..."

"Haha, if you're sleepy, just go to sleep. It won't be a problem."

"How can you do that! I'm going to sleep, sir, and you're a patient keeping watch here!"

Jiang Yan turned his head slightly: "Then you come?"

Yin Li rubbed her eyes immediately: "I'm so sleepy that I can't open them..."

"But Yin Li can still hold on... Sir, go and rest..."

Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Okay, I'll go see how Zhixue is doing."

Jiang Yan stood up and walked into the house, only to see that the little girl Shen Zhixue, who was supposed to be hiding in the closet at all times, was now walking out?

She stood in the house looking around. She looked at the layout that should have been very familiar to her again and again, as if she had come to a new environment.

Seeing Jiang Yan enter, although he subconsciously wanted to avoid him, he stopped for some reason.

He stood there timidly with his head down.

"Little girl, why don't you hide inside?"

Shen Zhixue hesitated, not knowing what to say, and said softly:

"It feels... a little weird..."

Jiang Yan walked closer, took out half a slice of Forget-Me-Not orange and handed it to the other person.

Although Shen Zhixue was still a little timid, she felt confident from somewhere. This time, she did not dodge but reached out to take the orange handed to her by Jiang Yan.

"What's weird?"

Shen Zhixue pecked at the orange, and her mood calmed down a lot. Recalling her feelings, she said uncertainly:

"It's like... being with my mother? But my mother isn't here..."

"Haha, don't worry, maybe your mother..."

dong dong dong~

Before he finished speaking, there was a gentle knock on the gate of the courtyard.

"Is anyone here? Is anyone here? We've arrived here in the dead of night, and no shops are open. Could you please give us a place to stay for the night?"

"Princess... Miss, please stop knocking. It's spooky here. No one's door is open. Let's go back. The Saint... He will definitely not blame you."

"Zhenshu, what nonsense are you talking about! My father...father wants me to marry the Wild King of the Broken Jade Snow Mountain! How could I possibly agree to that?"

"Miss! I am the Prince of Lengyu County, a prince of a different surname who guards the Suiyu Border!"

"So what? Broken Jade Snow Mountain is inaccessible. Could the enemy army still cross it and harass us? To put it nicely, it's garrisoning. To put it bluntly, it's exile!"

Outside the door, two pretty and beautiful women were whispering.

Among them, the tall woman had an angry look on her face. She poked the shorter woman's forehead with her finger, causing her head to tilt back.

"What can you do if I marry you? You have to stay with me. If you don't, I will spank you every day after I marry you!"

"Also, you stupid idiot! I told you not to call me princess outside! If you do that again, I won't take you with me~"

The woman called Pillow Book lowered her head in grievance and muttered softly.

"Spank me, and then you don't know whose butt will get spanked harder..."

"What did you say?!"

Zhenshu quickly smiled and chuckled.

"No, no, miss, I'll do whatever you say. If you tell me to run away from my marriage, I'll do it without hesitation! Zhenshu is completely loyal to you!"

"Hmph~ You passed~"

"By the way, is there anyone here?"

"There's no candlelight, and we've been calling for a long time but no one's around. It must be an empty room. Zhenshu, go climb over the wall and take a look."

"Ah... this isn't good... okay... okay..."

Zhenshu began to climb the wall reluctantly. His movements seemed quite skillful. In a few seconds, he reached the top of the wall and stuck his head out to look.

But at this moment, the courtyard was empty and dark, with only the cold wind blowing.

She observed for a long time, and then, feeling that there should be no one in the room, whispered:

"Miss, there seems to be no one inside."

"There's no one here, why don't you go in and open the door, quick."

"Miss...something's strange here...I'm scared..."

"Are you afraid of ghosts? Or are you afraid of the lady's warm hand falling on your buttocks?!"

"Afraid of ghosts..."

"Um?!"

"I'm afraid of you, I'm afraid of you..."

…………

Inside the house, Yin Li and Jiang Yan looked into each other's eyes, and three pairs of big dark eyes flickered gently in the dark night.

"These two clowns...are they a trap? Or are they the normal evolution of the Seven Emotions Realm?"

"It should be following the plot. After all, this place was created based on the impression of a certain powerful being, so it will naturally operate according to that powerful being's understanding."

"So, the two people outside are safe? But little Zhixue said her mother is outside. Could it be... that the memory of her visit here decades ago was engraved into the Seven Emotions Root?"

"Right...right..."

Jiang Yan was a little uncertain.

"So should I let Zhixue go or knock her out?"

Yin Li cast a questioning look at Jiang Yan, and in her arms was the little girl Shen Zhixue.

She was struggling slightly at this moment, trying to throw herself into the embrace of the voice from the outside world.

"Mom! Mom is back, please let me go, I...I miss my mom..."

Yes, the woman named Zhenshu in the outside world is the mother of this little girl!

But to be precise, she is not a mother. After all, this is just the root of the seven emotions left by the pillow book decades ago.

The core still doesn't know which unlucky person has been occupied by the root of the seven emotions.

Therefore, even if Shen Zhixue went out to meet him at this moment, apart from being treated as a lunatic, there would probably be nothing else to happen.

Jiang Yan gently comforted the little girl, but a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"If my calculations are correct, all the answers will be found here!"

At that time, guided by that fleeting flash of inspiration, Jiang Yan only deduced one thing.

For no apparent reason, Jiang Yan connected together the Qin Mansion, Qin Menglin, Qin Xiangling, the strange back room, Huayin Studio, the little girl Shen Zhixue, and the pillow book that had no trace no matter how hard he searched. These were all irrelevant clues that seemed like fragments.

Moreover, he was still trapped in the realm of the seven emotions.

With so many harsh conditions added up, this deduction should have no chance of producing any results, and it shouldn't even be possible to make a divination.

But at that time, Jiang Yan suddenly had an idea and acted without thinking or hesitation.

What is mobilized is the power of incense and merits from the spontaneous faith of the people under the jurisdiction of the Ancient Immortal Sect.

Although he did not cultivate the golden body of incense and even sealed the golden body that had already been condensed, it did not mean that he could not use the merits of incense.

It's just that this usage is too wasteful. Almost no incense god dares to condense into silk like Jiang Yan, use his body as a guide, and weave the strands of incense merit into a formation.

As for the final result, Jiang Yan was also very surprised.

"The result is as expected. To put it bluntly, the merits of incense burning also come from the power of faith of all living beings and are also derived from the roots of the seven emotions. It still works well in this realm of the seven emotions."

"This is the result of this deduction..."

"They all point to this Seven Emotions Maze? Could it be that everything is related to the person who created this maze?"

"So what should we do? Should we go with the flow, sit back and watch the situation unfold, and wait for the right time... or should we get involved, stir up trouble, and bring about unexpected changes?"

Jiang Yan speculated secretly in his mind and hid in the house with Yin Li to think about how to deal with it next.

Outside the yard, only a sound of "Ouch" was heard.

Zhenshu missed a step and fell from above, his buttocks making close contact with the ground, and he was dizzy.

“Ouch…it hurts…”

"Zhenshu! Are you okay?!"

"No...it's okay..."

Zhenshu struggled to get up, holding his butt and gritting his teeth, smiling back at the young lady's concern, but he heard...

"Why don't you open the door quickly?"

"Miss, you are so ruthless! You smashed the pillow book into pieces..."

"I can also make your butt bloom, do you want to see it?"

"Humph~"

Zhenshu groaned but quickly opened the door.

The two girls went in and closed the door again, then tiptoed around to look around stealthily.

She heaved a sigh of relief when she found no trace of anyone. Then, she tilted her chin toward the dark room and signaled with her eyes: "Zhenshu, it's time for you to shine!"

Zhenshu pouted, looking angry but unable to speak out, and cautiously pushed the door open a crack to look inside.

Then the gap becomes larger until it can accommodate one head.

“No one…”

"Miss, trespassing into a private residence is not allowed..."

"!!"

Before Jiang Yan could finish his words, Zhenshu's body froze! His eyes widened, and then he fell straight back to the sky...

I was so frightened that I fainted...

Jiang Yan: ...

Yin Li: "...Sir, why are you scaring her?"

Jiang Yan spread his hands innocently: "Unfair, I was just joking..."

Outside the door, the young lady was afraid but also really worried about Zhenshu. She kept following Zhenshu and pulling her dress so that she could pull her out immediately if anything happened.

But as soon as Zhenshu put his head in, he fell backwards before he could react.

The young lady was stunned and subconsciously took the pillow book to read it.

In the moonlight, you can see that Zhenshu's face is pale and his eyes are closed.

She knew this look, Zhenshu must have fainted from fright! Because she had often fainted before, she was quite familiar with it.

"Ahem... I'm so sorry to the two girls outside. We didn't mean to scare you..."

Having said that, Jiang Yan and the others stopped hiding and got straight to the point.

The young lady's heart tightened, and she cautiously stepped back a little while holding the pillow book and looked at Jiang Yan and others.

After seeing everything clearly, he actually breathed a sigh of relief? His tone was full of anger:

"You guys are so busy scaring people in the middle of the night? Even my pillow book is so scary!"

Yin Li had never seen anyone who could be frightened to death, and she became interested at this moment.

"We haven't said anything about you trespassing into a private house, but you're blaming me instead."

"Humph, you guys are saying I'm trespassing, aren't you?"

"Looking at your appearance, I know you are not the owner of this house! And you are holding someone's daughter hostage!"

Jiang Yan and Yin Li both lowered their heads to look at the little girl Shen Zhixue who was holding hands.

This is really a big misunderstanding.
