Chapter 433: Grab it! Refine it instantly!
"Huh? What the hell? Are you crazy?"
"Well... young man, don't mind it. We were just joking. Don't take it seriously..."
Jiang Yan chuckled, shook his head, and turned to leave without answering.
He returned with breakfast and placed it casually on the table.
At this moment, Yin Li and Zhenshu came out together, greeted each other, and then washed up and had their meal.
During this period, Jiang Yan gave Zhenshu a day off on the grounds that Zhiwei was unwell today, and asked her what she wanted to do today, and then secretly observed her expression.
Zhenshu's expression was relaxed at first, then he frowned in thought, his eyes stealthily glancing over Yin Li, a hint of yearning in his eyes. Yin Li, on the other hand, was also somewhat tempted, wanting to speak several times but holding back.
Seeing this, Jiang Yan sighed in his heart but did not show it on his face, and said softly:
"Young Master, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you, Yin Li, a day off. Where you want to go, who you go with, or what you do today, I won't care~"
Yin Li's face lit up with joy after hearing this, and then her pretty face turned slightly red. After softly thanking him, she secretly glanced at Zhenshu. At the same time, Zhenshu also quietly cast his gaze over to her. The moment their eyes met, a few sparks burst out in the air.
After a while, Yin Li cleaned up the table neatly, said goodbye to Jiang Yan, and then hurried out together, going somewhere to have fun...
"Ah~ If I hadn't gotten rid of that muddled state, I probably wouldn't be in any better shape now..."
"Not necessarily. After all, what I faced was acceptable, but what Yin Li faced... hehe..."
"I just hope that after she wakes up, she can still face the world with a burning heart~"
Jiang Yan's idea was not a joke, but a sincere thought.
Of course, there was a bit of a show in it, but this was not something Jiang Yan could decide! Nor was it something that was determined by her will!
The only one to blame is Yin Li herself. It was her fault for having nothing better to do than playing with her magical powers.
Complaining is indeed effective in relieving the tension in your heart.
Jiang Yan can now think about problems calmly and objectively.
He took out the cracked jade bell with a gloomy look.
"First of all, based on my understanding of Ming'er's imagination, she would never allow me to be imprisoned and then wait until the critical moment to jump out and interrupt me. She would definitely give me a clear warning from the beginning."
"If everything were under control, I have no doubt Ming'er would do this, because it's just her silly, evil taste! But... the situation now is that Ming'er can't even protect herself, so how could she possibly do such a thing?"
"To sum up, the first time I realized that I, or Yin Li, was being subtly influenced, and then I woke Yin Li up, the whole incident seems strange."
Jiang Yan tapped the jade bell lightly with his fingers. The comfortable warmth coming from it kept him from being affected and his mind calm.
"It was Yin Li again. Her condition at the time was eerily similar to mine before I was awakened, but I was awakened by the bell Ming'er made; she was awakened by me."
"But here's the weird part. According to my initial inference, I was able to wake up and realize that I was being affected, and then remind Yin Li. This result is not what I expected: it was the bell's own reminder."
"But if the bell hadn't woken me up, how could I have woken up at that time?"
Memories flashed through my mind, bringing me back to that afternoon when I was deeply confused.
After much contemplation, there is no result, but a sudden flash of inspiration comes as if from God.
Where does that glimmer of inspiration come from?
Suddenly, a scream came from my ears.
The aggrieved voice of Zhenshu echoed in my ears.
"Xiao Zhixue, lean on me, my legs are numb..."
In an instant, Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists subconsciously, his fingers turning white due to the force.
"Where did Shen Zhixue go?!"
Jiang Yan suppressed the fear in his heart and suppressed the extremely dangerous thought that suddenly popped up in his mind! His chest heaved violently, and he tried to calm his breathing and adjust his mood!
It took a long time for Jiang Yan to regain his composure.
"Huh... Let's put this matter aside for now and deal with the current issue first!"
“If you want to solve your current predicament, you must first understand your environment!”
"It is known that this area of seven emotions was created by an unknown powerful person who passed through Jingming Mansion decades ago. He generated seven emotions, which stirred heaven and earth, and left traces of the roots of the seven emotions in the objective world."
"Everything I'm experiencing now is what happened in the Qianming Mansion decades ago, even though it was limited to Jinxiufang."
"In other words, everyone in Jinxiufang is experiencing everything they've experienced before! Everyone is playing the role of someone from decades ago, continuing their trajectory!"
"And from what I've observed today, this kind of acting isn't random. If the person being acted out is still alive decades later, then when the person is acting out, the person decades later will be the first actor!"
"In other words, your future self plays your past self! If the person you're playing dies or moves away decades later, someone else will be found to play the role."
"This not only shows that the Seven Emotions Domain will automatically find the corresponding inscriptions, but also has a hard requirement of finding someone to play the role!"
"Then the question is, do Yin Li and I have a role to play in this? Who are we playing?"
Jiang Yan's face was solemn, and several images flashed through his mind.
That was after the Xuanyuan Guards came to search for the first time. The two Qin family guards who climbed over the wall to get in were finally driven away by Zhiwei.
The other party's conversation echoed in my ears word for word.
"Running away from marriage, Second Young Master, Madam Qin, Master Qin, and the servant Shen Qiu..."
By extracting these keywords and combining them with the subsequent contacts, words and deeds of Tong Zhiwei and Yin Li, and what I secretly saw today, Qin Kui, the fourth son of the Qin family, a complete story line emerged.
"First of all, I can confirm that Yin Li and I do have a role in this realm of seven emotions!"
"According to the clues, Qin Menglin, the second son of the Qin family and Qin Xiangling's father, escaped from marriage when he was young. He left the Qin family with his servant Shen Qiu and came to Jingming Mansion, where I live now."
"Finally, he met the royal princess Luo Zhiwei, who had also run away from marriage, and sparks flew between them and they ended up together..."
"And the characters Yin Li and I played were Qin Menglin and his servant Shen Qiu..."
So, everything becomes clear.
"That's why I said, 'Acting with her is more tiring than standing still and boxing,' and why I used mundane martial arts like 'internal force,' and why I acted as if it was natural when Yin Li called me Young Master."
"Because I am Qin Menglin, and Yin Li is my servant Shen Qiu, so everything is normal!"
"As for why we felt the danger of darkness swallowing us and the gossip and criticism from passersby when we first entered this realm of seven emotions, it was because we were all 'outsiders' at the time, the audience! Once we stepped onto the stage, we didn't have costumes, so we were enveloped in malevolence."
“But once we stepped into this courtyard, the ‘costume’ was put on naturally. So no matter what we did afterwards, we no longer felt any danger, because all our actions were covered with a layer of outer clothing.
In other words, Yin Li and I have been influenced by it from the very beginning! Everything we do is not in accordance with our heart! "
After this calculation, even Jiang Yan, who had been suppressing his emotions, couldn't help but feel a piercing chill all over his body! It was as if he was wearing countless transparent strings, stretching up into the air and disappearing into the unknown abyss.
It's ridiculous. At that time, he said that ordinary people were like actors, with no control over their body and mind. So how was his behavior at this moment different from that of others?
"Haha...it turns out the chance to escape is right at the beginning..."
"Now, I have put on my 'costume' and I have no choice but to wait until the show is over..."
"But by then, can I take off the costume again?"
Thinking about my previous evaluation of the people trapped in Jinxiufang, I realized that once this costume is worn for a long time, it will probably be of no use even if I take it off in the end.
It is constantly penetrating and distorting the root of its own life. If it were not for Jiang Yan's successful cultivation of the subjective imprint of the Great Dao, and the external help of Shen Ming, he would not be much better than Yin Li.
You must know that Yin Li's ability to carry and tolerate the seven emotions is absolutely beyond his reach.
Even Yin Li was twisted into a lesbian, so why would he do it? Forget it...
After being slightly depressed for a while, Jiang Yan cheered up again.
It was not his style to be gloomy and hesitant, so he quickly adjusted his mood and began to think about ways to break the deadlock.
"First, I need to know how long this scene will last and what its ending will be. What if it ends badly? How should I deal with it?"
"First, we can rule out a bad ending by following the results, because Qin Menglin is still alive and well and has a daughter."
"Secondly, based on my feelings, this scene will surely come to an end very soon..."
Jiang Yan's words were not groundless, but had a basis.
Judging from the character he had assumed, his actions the day before were really too frivolous.
Yes, frivolous. If what the two Qin family guards said was true, Qin Menglin's personality at this time should be aloof, indifferent, and a super genius.
I shouldn't be interested in anything.
Even if the person he was facing was a fresh and unworldly person like Luo Zhiwei, he would not be able to be so "frank" with her in just a few nights like him.
It's just too fast.
Zhiwei's reaction further proves this point. Is it just an interaction that is not too intimate, enough to make a noble princess develop a little affection for him?
Zhiwei was indifferent at the beginning and even encouraged Yin Li to pursue him, then she began to feel affection for him, and at the climax she could not hold back and forced herself to express her determination.
This series of actions obviously cannot be accomplished in just a few days!!
Reality is not a game, not a one-night stand, not a fleeting romance where you just throw it in the air and leave. Instead, you need to consider all aspects.
The obstacles before marriage, the difficulties after marriage, and the need to test the determination to go through hardships together all require time to catalyze.
Just a few days? Haha, forgive Jiang Yan for not being confident, at least he had never encountered such a thing before.
Therefore, Jiang Yan speculated that everything he was currently experiencing was the key point of the "plot"!
Everything he experienced changed and affected Zhiwei's heart.
"If all my speculations are correct, then Zhiwei... is very likely the owner of the Seven Emotions Root Inscription! But this is too unbelievable, I can't accept it for the time being..."
"Luo Zhiwei... the emperor's seventh daughter... his most beloved daughter..."
Jiang Yan muttered to himself, then frowned.
"Qin Xiangling can ignore the influence of the Qin Mansion's strange courtyard. Even a casual word from her can allow others to enter without being affected. This kind of attitude is very likely the daughter of Qin Menglin and Zhiwei in the future."
"When I first arrived at Jingming Prefecture by boat, I also heard that the Qin family had some connections with the royal family and could get a seat at the docks controlled by the royal relatives and aristocrats. This is enough to show that the court tolerates the Qin family."
"But... I've never heard of the current emperor having a seventh daughter, not even a rumor. But Qin Menglin's wife, according to gossip from the laundry lady by the well, passed away after giving birth to Qin Xiangling."
"Is the emperor sad and unwilling to be mentioned, or is there something else hidden..."
Jiang Yan's eyes were deep, and then he stood up.
He slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.
"There are too few clues right now and the situation is unclear. Although I have some guesses, they are all based on my conjecture and cannot be taken seriously."
"Right now, I have to figure out how to get rid of this costume before I can plan other things..."
"Costumes...acting..."
"Hey! Can I... create another personality clone to deceive the rules of the Seven Emotions Realm and play the role for me?!"
Jiang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up and he had an idea.
"Love is like a thread, it can weave dreams and also break illusions! It can be done!"
The green jade bell in his hand appeared at the right time, as if eager to try.
A look of hesitation crossed Jiang Yan's face, because the first thing he had to do next was to destroy the bell.
But this bell was firstly made by Ming'er himself, which showed that he had put a lot of effort into it. Secondly, if his idea was wrong, then the bell would be truly ruined, and there would be no other treasure to wake him up.
Therefore, it is really difficult to draw a conclusion on this matter at the moment.
But as the saying goes, when two choices leading to different outcomes are presented, hesitation is the third dead end! If you want to get out of the predicament, you must unwaveringly choose one path.
Choosing the lesser of two evils, rather than sinking again and being awakened by the bell and then shattered, Jiang Yan decided to give it a try!
"Haha, give it a try, the motorcycle turns into a bicycle! The bicycle turns into an airship!"
"Fight!!"
He exerted force with his fingers, and with a bang, the bell shattered! The residue transformed into crimson threads that escaped from between his fingers, entwining and intertwining, using his palm as a support to spread upwards, clinging to it hungrily.
The moment the crimson thread appeared, Jiang Yan only felt the wind blowing around him.
Unbeknownst to him, the world had undergone some changes.
"hiss!"
Jiang Yan had no time to take a closer look. The blood-red threads were like millions of leeches that smelled blood. They burrowed madly along his wrist, into his skin, and into his bone marrow. Every time a thread drilled in, it brought with it a suffocating fantasy.
That was Shen Ming's delusion, a delusion that was so obsessed with him that it was almost insane. It could not even be called lust, but a pure delusion called "getting"!
There is nothing else besides this!
If even a tiny bit of these threads escapes, it will change the perceptions of people in countless cities!
Of course, the most likely possibility is that those people simply can't bear it, their brains have turned into pus, and they are just fools who can only babble.
Most people simply cannot bear this level of emotions!
Jiang Yan could see a crimson blood shadow galloping freely in his body and feel the emotion it exuded, which was obviously excitement. Facing Jiang Yan's will, it was like a swimming fish, always missing the target by a hair's breadth.
Playing tricks on Jiang Yan himself.
"Damn it! It's just a fantasy and yet it's so dishonest! How can I let you fool me on my own territory?!"
Jiang Yan, who had been quite annoyed by troubles recently, was now toyed with by this little fantasy and could not hold it back any longer.
Then he manipulated the golden net inside his body to capture people crazily!
If this delusion was left by someone else, Jiang Yan would be shown mercy by the other party if he could abandon his body and escape, let alone catch him.
Even if one does not cultivate the Seven Emotions, simply throwing out this level of delusion can trigger countless evil spirits and fallen spirits that can be called "obsession" level, which means that one does not cultivate the Seven Emotions but does not know how to use them.
It seems so powerless.
But even so, it is not someone that Jiang Yan can capture easily now. If they really risk their lives to die together, then this fantasy will be eliminated, but it will be unknown whether "Jiang Yan" is still "Jiang Yan".
Relying on Shen Ming's imagination and not daring to fight back, Jiang Yan bullied her as much as he could!
That means no mercy at all.
Soon he was forced into a corner.
Of course, with Shen Ming's personality, he wouldn't show emotions such as "trembling" or "panic and helplessness" even if he was forced into a corner.
This fantasy even raised its finger and smiled back provocatively?!
Jiang Yan's mouth twitched slightly.
"As expected, whether it's your true self or your imagination, your bad personality remains unchanged..."
"However, you dare not resist, so just be refined by me!"
