Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented
Chapter 688 Entering Mingxin Pavilion
But no matter what Shiji said, Manrong acted as if she didn't hear him. She walked in front of him, staring at him, without saying a word and without any expression or movement.
The more Shiji looked, the more strange it seemed to her. She waved her hand in front of Manrong's eyes, but to her surprise, Manrong didn't even blink and continued to stare straight ahead.
Suddenly, Manrong turned and walked in another direction without saying a word, and an eerie silence filled the air.
Shiji looked at this scene and couldn't help but shudder, feeling a little creepy.
"Manrong, what are you doing? Are you kidding me? Stop it. I've already apologized to you. If you continue like this, it will be a bit too much." Shiji said to Manrong.
But Manrong said nothing and continued walking alone.
Shiji felt more and more puzzled. He felt that even if Manrong was angry, she was not an irrational person and would never do such a thing. There must be something wrong with her!
"Carrier pigeon, do you think Manrong is acting strange now? She is like a puppet, without thoughts or expressions, just walking around there." Shiji said to the carrier pigeon elf.
After hearing this, the carrier pigeon immediately flew to Manrong, circled around her, looked her over carefully, and then flew back to Shiji and said, "Manrong is indeed not right. I think she may be beginning to have hallucinations. It's useless to say anything to her now, because she is already immersed in hallucinations and can't hear us."
Shiji began to get anxious: "What should we do? We have to find a way to solve it. We can't keep going like this."
The pigeon thought for a moment and said, "Since she is already hallucinating, why don't we just find a way to break this formation and let her get out of the hallucination. Because it's not a good idea for her to continue like this, don't you think?"
Shiji nodded, thinking that what the pigeon said made sense. The first priority now was to find a way to quickly break this formation.
If he doesn't hurry up, he himself might fall into hallucinations, and then no one can save him.
So Shiji immediately started to think of a solution. He walked around here and kept observing the terrain. He was silent and carefully studied the rules of the terrain. It was strange that the layout of these terrains was very regular, and there must be some internal connection.
At this time, Man Rong next to him had already started talking to himself: "No, no, go away quickly, go away!"
Shiji knew that the situation was getting worse and worse. If it continued like this, she had to speed up, otherwise Manrong would be in danger.
Shiji accelerated to crack the formation, and finally, succeeded! The light around him gradually dimmed, indicating that the formation was lifted.
At the same time, he also received the rewards he deserved. The joy in his heart gushed out like a spring, and his previous boredom was swept away. He felt refreshed.
His tense nerves finally relaxed and he sat down involuntarily, secretly rejoicing in his heart: "So, it's really a blessing in disguise for me. Although this formation is dangerous, the spiritual energy and methods gained are considerable." He felt refreshed after his strength increased, and even felt as if he had a healing effect, and his mood became more and more cheerful.
The system couldn't bear to hear him talking to himself anymore, so it said, "It doesn't actually have a healing function."
Shiji responded cheerfully: "Don't worry about me, I think it's good enough." Seeing this, the system said no more.
However, Shiji's thoughts quickly returned to the formation just now. He knew very well that without the help of the system, he would probably have difficulty breaking out of the formation. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder, and a feeling of gratitude arose spontaneously.
"System, oh system, you are really my savior. If it weren't for you, I would have died here long ago." He sighed.
However, the system did not respond, as if it didn't want to pay attention to him.
At this moment, Shiji suddenly felt something was wrong in her heart, as if she had forgotten something important.
He frowned and said to himself: "No, I seem to have forgotten something important."
Seeing this, Xin said jokingly: "This is not just a normal problem. It's unexpected that you can even forget this." Shiji was a little unhappy and retorted: "What are you talking about? You mean I'm not smart enough?"
Xin did not respond directly, but just smiled and said: "In fact, at this point, the brain may really not be enough." This made Shiji even more dissatisfied. He pondered for a moment and suddenly realized: "Oh, right! Where is Manrong? I was with Manrong when I came in, why is she gone?"
He looked around but didn't see Man Rong. He couldn't help but feel anxious: "She wouldn't run away, right? What should I do?" However, he quickly denied his thoughts: "It's impossible. It was so dangerous just now. How could she run away?"
Xin said, "She might have hidden in a corner. There are so many bushes around here, it's easy for someone to hide there. But how can you find her if you look blindly like this?"
Hearing this, Shiji stood up, stretched his muscles, and began to search around. He pulled at the bushes, shaking out a pile of dust every time he pulled at one. He couldn't help but complain, "This place is really a forbidden area. There's not even anyone cleaning it. Every time you shake it out, there's a pile of dust."
However, he did not forget Manrong's safety. Xin reminded him again: "It's not a good idea to search blindly like this. This place is so big, how long will it take to find her? Think about which direction you saw her running in the last time?"
Shiji thought it made sense, and after thinking about it carefully, she said, "I remember she seemed to be running this way."
As he said that, he walked in that direction. After pulling through some bushes, he finally saw Manrong's back, but she was lying on the ground, without any reaction.
"He fainted indeed."
Shiji said with a frown, feeling a little worried.
He squatted down gently, turned Manrong's face towards him, looked at her frowning brows and pale face, and sighed helplessly: "Why are you still frowning after fainting?"
He tried to wake Manrong up using the simplest method, but she didn't respond.
Seeing this, Xin quickly stopped her and said, "Don't try. She must have fainted due to excessive energy consumption. Shaking her like this will only hurt her more." After hearing what Xin said, Shiji had to give up the idea of waking up Manrong.
"This formation is truly extraordinary. It is completely different from the ones I have seen before." Shi Ji said with emotion as he looked at Man Rong who was still unconscious.
"What should we do now?" He looked at Manrong's pale face and was at a loss for a moment.
"We can only wait and see. Maybe she will wake up after a while, and it is unlikely that anyone will come here." As he said that, Shiji stood up again and looked around.
Xin thought for a moment and agreed to his proposal. However, after a while, Manrong was still unconscious and did not move at all.
Shiji stared at her and muttered to himself: Although she is usually full of worries, she is at least still a living beauty. Now that she has closed her eyes, she looks less lively and even more pitiful.
"This is not a solution. If someone passes by, we won't be able to explain it." Shiji smacked his lips and began to think of a solution.
"Forget it, we have to go to Mingxin Pavilion anyway, so let's carry her over first." As he said that, he bent down and picked up Manrong in a princess hug.
However, Manrong's weight surprised him. She was so light that he could hardly feel it when holding her.
"She's too thin. I feel like I can knock her away with just one punch." Xin thought he would say something romantic, but he ended up saying this, leaving her speechless.
Shiji weighed Manrong with concern, then carried her in his arms and walked towards Mingxin Pavilion. When he got near the formation, he couldn't help but stop.
"What's wrong?" Xin thought he had discovered something unusual.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly feel a little nostalgic." Shiji said.
"…What's there to miss? Do you want to do it again?" Xin glared at him and said unhappily. "Take back your thoughts, I'm just thinking about it, don't be such a pessimist." Shiji shook her head quickly, and continued to walk forward holding the unconscious Manrong.
However, when they arrived near Mingxin Pavilion, they found that someone was guarding it.
"Oh my god, why is there still someone guarding it?" Shiji lowered his voice and squatted down.
"That's normal, but how do you get in like this?" Xin asked.
Shiji thought about it and decided to place Manrong in the space first and find a way to get in by himself.
"That makes sense, but what next?" Xin asked.
"Look at them, they are all stupid. If I just fool them, they will definitely believe me." Shiji stood up confidently and pretended to walk past the guards casually. As expected, he was stopped before he took a few steps.
The leading guard put his gun to his chest and asked sternly, "What are you doing?"
Shiji met those eyes full of wisdom and knew that although this man looked stern, he should be easy to fool.
The leading guard suddenly felt that the person opposite him was looking at him with a strange look, and he was confused.
"Go away quickly, this is not a place for you." The guard warned again.
Shiji cleared his throat and prepared to start fooling around: "I came here on orders from my superiors, are you going to stop me too?"
After hearing this, the guards softened their attitudes a little and put down their guns.
"Then...then why didn't we receive any notification?" questioned the leading guard.
Before Shiji could speak, the guard behind him stopped him and said, "Boss, how can you tell us what the superiors have ordered?"
The other brothers followed suit. Shiji secretly laughed in his heart. He hadn't even thought of how to make up an excuse yet, but these "smart guys" had already made one for him.
The leading guard narrowed his eyes at him and asked questioningly, "Really?"
Shiji quickly put on a smiling face and said charmingly, "That's right. The higher-ups won't allow us to say it. Big brothers, please give me some leniency. I will also think of you big brothers if there are any good things in the future."
"I understand you! Go now, don't delay. You can come and chat with us if you have nothing to do." The leading guard changed his previous attitude and patted his shoulder sympathetically.
After some brainwashing, Shiji successfully escaped the guards' sight and walked towards Mingxin Pavilion.
"You're really good at fooling people. We've almost become friends in such a short time." Xin said admiringly.
Shiji shook her head and smiled, "It's not the fact that I can fool people, the point is that those guards are so easy to fool. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so successful."
"I agree." Xin thought about the performance of the guards just now and deeply agreed with what he said.
Then, Shiji released Manrong, who was in a deep coma, from the space and gently picked her up again.
"Why hasn't she woken up yet? Is she unlikely to wake up?" Shiji's worries grew.
Xin confidently comforted her, "It's okay, don't worry. This level of coma is nothing to me. Go to Mingxin Pavilion first, and I will find a way to treat her."
"Okay, I feel relieved when you say that." Shiji breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.
Then they came to the door of Mingxin Pavilion.
"It's locked." Shiji said helplessly as he looked at the lock on the door. As he spoke, he pulled at the lock, but it didn't budge at all.
Xin couldn't bear to read it any longer and suggested, "You'll never be able to pull it off no matter how long you try. You have mana, wouldn't it be faster to just use it?"
Shiji then reacted: "Oh, wait a minute."
As soon as he finished speaking, the lock opened with a click.
"Sure enough, magic power is a good thing. It can be done easily." Shiji said with a smile.
Afterwards, Shiji gently pushed open the door and found that the inside was completely different from the outside. It was spotlessly clean. "This is completely different from what I imagined. It's too clean." He said in surprise.
"I thought such an important place would be dirty. It's better to keep it clean to avoid getting covered in dust." Xin agreed.
Shiji nodded and looked inside the pavilion again. "This decoration is really exquisite. It seems that they are very concerned about Mingxin Pavilion. There may be some treasures hidden in it." As he said this, he began to look carefully at the things in the pavilion.
Before he finished reading, Xin said hesitantly, "Are you just going to stand at the door and watch? What if the guards come?"
"Yes, yes, yes, come in first and don't attract attention." Shiji hurriedly carried Manrong in, gently placed her on the floor, and began to observe Mingxin Pavilion carefully.
The decorations in the pavilion were indeed very exquisite, and every detail showed the care of the builder. But Shiji always felt that something was wrong.
"Something is wrong." He said to himself.
"What's wrong?" Xin asked puzzledly.
"I can't tell for now, but I just feel that this place is a bit strange." Shiji frowned.
Just when Xin thought Shiji was going to reveal some important discovery, he suddenly exclaimed, "I know! The decoration is too inconsistent with the contents. Mingxin Pavilion is so beautifully built, but the contents inside seem ordinary."
Xin looked at him speechlessly. He didn't expect that he was actually looking forward to his discovery.
"So what do you think Manrong is looking for?" Xin asked.
Shiji looked around and shook her head: "She asked me to come with her, but she didn't tell me what she was looking for. I began to wonder if I came to the wrong place."
After saying that, he squatted down again to check on Manrong. He tried to send Manrong magic power, but Manrong still did not move.
"That won't work. You should do it. If you can't do it either, we have to leave here and find a way to save her." Shiji said helplessly. (End of this chapter)
