The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 837 Reliable History
After encountering the witch in "Mengxi Garden" last time and being affected by her fragrance, Zhao Chen has been thinking about how to defend against this strange magical power.

It is not a means of attack, nor does it purely affect the mind. It is more like a hormone acting on the body... Therefore, Zhao Chen's "Defense Technique" and "Five-Direction Demon-Suppressing Sound" are not very effective in defending against this kind of fragrance. They can resist part of it, but cannot completely block it.

After many experiments, Zhao Chen discovered that the "Yellow Emperor Zhongzhu Sword" whose true meaning had been tampered with by the Li family was more "effective", which was why he allowed his true energy and magic power to enter the "Yellow Emperor Zhongzhu" state just now.

Of course, in order to make magic work against supernatural powers, Zhao Chen paid a lot of star coins.

Back to the topic, as the crying sound became clearer and clearer in his ears, Zhao Chen did not dare to delay. After temporarily getting rid of the invasion of the faint fragrance, he immediately summoned the full body armor obtained from the fragments of the "Xuannv Palace" blessed land and put it on.

He wears a "White Ape Tai Sui Helmet" on his head, a "Chainlock Heavenly King Armor" on his body, a "Blue Bird Embroidered Brocade Sword Robe" on the outside, "Li Shui Chuan Yun Shoes" on his feet, a "Bagua Jade Mirror" on his chest, and a "Liang Yi Golden Box" hanging from his waist.

In one hand he holds high the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Sword", in the other hand he tightly grasps the "Kui Niu Zhentian Bow", with three "Nine-Colored Cloud-Piercing Arrows" behind him and the "Wordless Heavenly Book" floating above his head.

As soon as Zhao Chen appeared in this image, the crying sound suddenly changed from shrill to angry, with hints of roaring and growling mixed in, as if it wanted to completely tear the person wearing this armor to pieces!
In response to this, Zhao Chen was relieved. Although he was still on guard, he was no longer as nervous as before.

After all, he was so angry but still didn't attack me, which meant that the owner of this voice couldn't directly influence me at all. It was most likely sealed in this palace.

The crying before was just to disturb my mind, so that Youxiang could invade my body and control me...

Thinking this in his heart, Zhao Chen's expression became strange, and he thought secretly:
Seeing the "Xuannv" wearing armor, he was so angry... Could the witch in this palace be the legitimate concubine of the "King of Liang"?
Is this the sign of seeing a love rival?
Tsk tsk, I didn't realize I had touched upon the secrets of the Liang court...

Just when his thoughts drifted a little far away, Zhong Ying, who had gone out to explore the way, suddenly emerged from the shadows.

Strangely enough, the moment Zhong Ying appeared, the crying of the women around him suddenly stopped.

But Zhong Ying still caught a little of the lingering sound.

When she saw Zhao Chen in full armor, the judge of the underworld suddenly stopped looking excited. She frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Zhao Chen did not hide anything and recounted what had just happened in the palace, as well as his own speculations.

"In other words, there might be a witch who was a follower of an evil spirit in ancient times sealed here?" Zhong Ying was a little surprised, but then he said thoughtfully, "This can explain why the remains of the evil god believed by the witch fell into the territory of Liang State.

“Perhaps this witch who has a close relationship with Zhu Chao is the one behind his revival.

“But he probably didn’t expect that Zhu Chao would drive the ‘Kaiming Beast’ to devour the remains…” Zhao Chen thought for a moment, and said meaningfully: “The Kaiming Beast is the most yang, and the witch is most likely a symbol of the feminine. In addition, there are the two women ‘Xuan’ and ‘Su’ who harmonize yin and yang, and the great magical power ‘Dark Night Light’ which represents the way of differentiation of yin and yang.

"The King of Liang has great ambitions."

Although Zhong Ying felt that what Zhao Chen said made sense, he still rolled his eyes at him and said, "Couldn't Zhu Chao have taken the initiative to bear the pollution in order to prevent his beloved concubine from being mistaken for the resurrected body of the evil god?"

"If saying this makes you feel more romantic, then I agree..." Zhao Chen shrugged and did not argue. Anyway, he had already passed the "investigator" stage and there was no need to be serious about such things.

After a pause, Zhao Chen looked into the depths of the palace again and pursed his lips and said, "It seems to be very afraid of you. With you here, it doesn't even dare to cry loudly."

"In fact, ghosts and spirits are quite afraid of me... or rather, they are afraid of 'her'." Zhong Ying simply replied without any further explanation. He changed the subject with a beaming expression and said, "Guess what I found when I went outside to investigate?"

Zhao Chen was not surprised by this. Instead, he followed Zhong Ying's words and asked, "What did you find?"

"We went back to one day ago!" Zhong Ying's eyes lit up, "That secret passage with the help of the 'Yuan Di' not only allowed us to cross space, but also time!
"No wonder someone was able to use it to have an affair with the Queen without being caught... They were having an affair in the 'past', so naturally no one could find out."

After hearing this, Zhao Chen was a little confused: "One day ago? This place doesn't look like a historical fog?"

"No, we have traveled through time and arrived at the 'true history'. Special 'time'-type supernatural powers can be achieved when one reaches a high level, but generally speaking, this cannot change history, and we can only watch.

“Because the cause and effect involved in the ‘reliable history’ is huge, minor changes will have almost no effect and will only be corrected by ‘history’. For example, in the so-called ‘affair’, it is likely that the queen only remembered that she had a dream... But if the changes are to the point where history is difficult to correct, the resulting ‘karma’ and ‘calamity’ are not something that ordinary cultivators can resist. Even the ‘Shengxuan’ True Lord will find it difficult to bear.

“What’s more, if anyone dares to enter the ‘True History’, they will inevitably be watched by many Dao Lords, and it will be almost impossible for them to do anything big.

"Of course, that refers to 'Xuantian'... For a 'secret realm' like this, there are not so many requirements. After all, the time law here is not stable. As long as it is separated from Xuantian, powerful people can adjust it at will."

After Zhong Ying explained what he knew to Zhao Chen, he smiled and said, “So, as long as we pay a certain price, we can take the treasure we want in advance.

"If you don't want to pay the price, you can also make some arrangements first, then go back to a time point one day later through that 'secret passage', come in with King Liang, and take the treasure first."

I see... No wonder the current emperor is so secretive about everything he does. Is he on guard against powerful beings with similar supernatural powers?
I remember that the Queen Mother once said that her "brands" in various historical periods have begun to fall into a state of "dead silence"... This can actually be understood as, she used to be able to rely on these "brands" to make some arrangements in history on a small scale, right?
If that's the case, I'm actually relatively "safe" because of the attention of the big guys...
