I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 42: Questioning the Heart in a Maze (asking for monthly tickets)

Jiang Yi's hands and feet were cold, and she didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment. The moment her junior sister looked at her, she was scared.

Even though her appearance has changed and her temperament is different from before, she believes that there are still two people in this world who can recognize her at a glance, one is her mother, and the other is her junior sister.

But no!

What happened to Yaoyao's eyes?
Jiang Yi wanted to go out and ask, but his feet were moving backwards and away.

"cough!"

A loud cough came from behind.

Jiang Yi's heart skipped a beat. She was so distracted that she didn't even notice anyone nearby. She quickly suppressed all her emotions and returned to her original lazy state.

She was already very good at suppressing her emotions.

Turning around, Jiang Yi saw Xuan Hui. His eyes, shining like golden light and containing the golden crow fire, could not be imitated by anyone. He was still wearing a white robe embellished with golden patterns. As he walked, there was mist and clouds, and he exuded an immortal air.

"Outer sect disciple Jiang Yi, meeting the Demon Master."

Chi Songzi had briefly described Xuan Hui's appearance to her, and she couldn't pretend not to recognize him.

Xuan Hui stood with his hands behind his back, looking Jiang Yi up and down. "Who are you? How come you recognize me? What brings you to my Liuyue Peak?"

Jiang Yi was speechless. He had come to the mountain gate to pick her up, but she was still pretending.

"Disciple is here to pay respects as ordered."

Jiang Yi presented the forbidden jade token with both hands.

Xuan Hui flicked his sleeves and the jade token flew into his hand. He took a look at it and then he suddenly realized it.

"Oh, I did give out a forbidden jade token when I passed by Lingbo Mountain a few days ago, but I forgot about it later. It was just a small matter after all. Well, I still have some things to deal with. There's a lake at the end of the forest. Let's go there and wait."

After saying that, Xuan Hui walked away without even saying when he would be back. He thought to himself, 'You naughty girl, you made me wait for three days in vain. Today I must teach you a lesson, otherwise I won't be able to have the power of a Golden Core Demon Master.'

He would never tell Jiang Yi that he had already arrived at the mountain gate and had nothing to do now.

Xuan Hui took a step forward and disappeared. The fallen flowers on the ground suddenly spun without wind. The branches of the trees grew wildly and intertwined, and the original road disappeared. Jiang Yi was trapped in the forest. There was nothing around him except trees and red flowers burning like fire.

Testing me? So cliché?

Jiang Yi looked around and frowned in thought. If she wanted to gain benefits from Xuan Hui, she must first demonstrate her potential. It was understandable that Xuan Hui tested her.

That's the truth, but she is unreasonable.

Jiang Yi took out a straw mat from his storage bag, shook it out, and spread it under the tree.

"The sky is blue and the clouds are white, the trees are full of red flowers, and no one will disturb us. It's a great place to sleep."

It is impossible to break the formation, and even if I knew how to do it, I would be too lazy to do it because it is too troublesome.

She is just a novice in Qi training now. If she really wants to break out, it will take at least a day. She hasn't even sacrificed the Twelve Golden Leaf Knife yet.

Xuan Hui can come back or not, she can sleep anywhere anyway. The spiritual energy here is more abundant than Lingbo Mountain, and it won’t be a loss to sleep here for a few days. The only difference is that the fasting pills are a little bit unpalatable.

As far as Jiang Yi knows, there are three major formations at the foot of Liuyue Peak. The first one is just a maze that can cause injury but not death. This is to prevent people from accidentally entering, so a glimmer of hope must be left.

Xuan Hui cares a lot about Hua Gu. It's a feeling between the same clan. After only three days, he couldn't wait for Chisongzi to pick her up in person, and he waited at the mountain gate in advance. He is an impatient person and will definitely come back in less than half a day.

Maybe... I overestimated him all along.

"Come out, Huagu~"

A white cloud flew out of the demon bag, hung in the air, stretched out two fat cloud tentacles, and stretched like Jiang Yi.

When she saw the surrounding situation clearly, Hua Gu was shocked. This time, she did not hide in Jiang Yi's arms out of fear as before because she was in an unfamiliar environment. Instead, she rushed to Jiang Yi's side as soon as possible.

The forty consecutive battles that day gave Hua Gu a great boost of confidence.

"It's just a maze. I need to get some sleep. You can have fun by yourself. This is a very suitable place for you to train."

Jiang Yi used the second-grade spiritual wood he had exchanged as a pillow, lying on his side with his eyes closed, taking a nap anywhere.

Hua Gu floated around Jiang Yi, checking the surrounding situation. Seeing that Jiang Yi's breathing was getting longer and longer, she hesitated for a moment before tentatively approaching the pomegranate tree in the distance.

At this moment, the branches of the tree suddenly grew rapidly, causing the petals to roll straight towards the flower girl.

Hua Gu immediately shrank to the side to avoid the attack, while simultaneously launching a wind blade to sever the branch. This was like stirring up a hornet's nest, as all the surrounding branches and petals came alive, attacking Hua Gu frantically.

She wanted to return to her master quickly, but when Hua Gu turned around, she found that Jiang Yi, who was originally sleeping behind her, was gone. Instead, there were the same wildly growing branches and flying petals.

o(≧口≦)o Ahhhh Master!!

……

Although Jiang Yi closed his eyes, his mind was still restless, and he was still thinking about Liu Taozhi.

Why did Yaoyao come to Cangling Sect and stay at the foot of Liuyue Peak? What's wrong with her eyes?

Even if her eyes couldn't see clearly, a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building could still see things with his spiritual sense, but Yaoyao still didn't recognize her.

This means that Yaoyao’s problem isn’t just with her eyes. If there’s a problem with her sea of ​​consciousness, then it’s going to be troublesome!
Jiang Yi was about to think about it when she felt her consciousness suddenly drop. She opened her eyes and found herself standing in front of the statue of the sleeping fairy in the "Lazy Fairy Temple".

This was her third time entering here. The statue had not changed, but the entire ancestral hall was cleaner than last time. There was an extra bookshelf against the wall on the side, filled with various books.

Jiang Yi walked over and took out one of the books.

"The Demon Spirit Illustrated Book? This is the book I've memorized in the past two years, all of it?"

Holding the book, Jiang Yi looked out the window.

It was pitch black, but fiery red petals were falling like rain, trying to enter the ancestral hall, but were repelled by an invisible force.

After a little thought, Jiang Yi understood.

She was not asleep. This was the consciousness space in her lazy root, which was protecting her soul and memory from being violated.

After all, it is a root of consciousness left by the lazy immortal. How could it be so easy for others to find out its true identity?
Xuan Hui embedded a heart-searching array in the maze outside. Now, as long as she walks out of the ancestral hall, she will face the interrogation of the heart-searching array.

Xuan Hui took a fancy to Hua Gu, so it was reasonable for him to examine her as his master.

She could stay here forever to make the Heart-Searching Array ineffective, but doing so would inevitably make Xuan Hui more curious about her, which was unnecessary.

When she decided to come to Cang Ling Sect, she had already anticipated the matters of the Heart-Searching Talisman and the Heart-Searching Formation, and had already made preparations.

With her current level of cultivation in the Qi training stage, the Heart Questioning Array can only ask her five questions at most. If it exceeds that, her soul will not be able to bear it.

Xuan Hui is not an unforgivable demon, so he will not go too far with her. If he tortures her to death, Hua Gu will also die along with the master-servant contract.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yi walked out of the Lazy Immortal Temple.

Flower petals fluttered down before my eyes, and a voice full of majesty and irresistibility echoed in my mind.

"What's your name?"

This seemingly simple question actually asks about the identity that a person most identifies with in his heart. Some evil monks who have been lurking in various sects and changed their names will often be exposed when faced with such a simple question.

"My name is Jiang Yi."

Jiang Yi is also Jiang Yi, and he was still Jiang Yi before traveling through time. After all, having the same name and surname is the first rule of time travel.

Changing her name cannot erase her past. It is everything in the past that has made her who she is today. It is better to continue moving forward along this path.

To cultivate herself and improve her mind, she needs to identify with herself, the good and the bad, what she can face and what she cannot face. In the end, everyone will end up in the same place, and she must accept it and let it go. Time will eventually resolve all of this.

"Have you ever possessed another body or been possessed by another?"

"Never."

She was a wandering soul with memories of her past life, and was born normally in this world, which could not be considered as possessing another's body.

"Who are the parents?"

Jiang Yi smiled in her heart. Since Xuan Hui asked this question, it seemed that he had indeed doubted her identity.

"I'm an orphan. I haven't seen my parents since I was little. I don't know who they are. Maybe they died a long time ago."

Jiang Yi looked calm. She was not lying. She was just telling the truth about her situation before she traveled through time.

"What's the most secret in your heart that you cannot tell others?"

Jiang Yi was stunned. He didn't expect Xuan Hui to be so immoral as to ask this.
