My apprentice is a little weird?

Chapter 422 Trapped!

"Tsk...after all, it's just my guess and can't be taken seriously..."

"If they really have no other options and can only do this, then wouldn't it be a bit of a mean person judging a gentleman by making such a guess?"

Shaking his head, Jiang Yan stopped brainstorming and focused on what was in front of him.

Yin Li, however, was like a curious baby, completely different from her shyness when people were staring at her true form before. She ran around in this rather busy market.

Touch here and look there.

She even reached out and pinched the man's face in front of a couple.

"Wow, this is so real!"

The man was smiling happily, and was so delighted to see such a pretty lady that he even forgot about the lady who was shopping with him for a moment!

He then pinched his waist and abdomen fiercely, and hurriedly left with him, cursing:

"What kind of person is this? She's such an adult, but she doesn't know how to avoid suspicion. A little girl touches someone else's husband in the street. It's really..."

Yin Li ignored the other person's muttering and looked at her index finger, feeling the touch just now.

"It's so real! Much more real than the phantom I conjured in my retreat room!"

Jiang Yan came back to his senses from his thoughts and walked over to hold Yin Li.

The other person turned around and looked at him with puzzled eyes. Jiang Yan pointed around helplessly.

It was not until then that Yin Li realized that a circle of people had surrounded her, pointing at her and whispering to each other from time to time.

"Uh...what happened..."

"This place is the Scar of the Seven Emotions from who knows how many years ago. The mortals here tend to stick to the rules. And you..."

Although Yin Li's figure is ordinary, her appearance can really be described as delicate and exquisite. Such a lovely girl looks like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden when she walks on the street.

In addition, he was dressed in unusual clothes and had no protection or guards.

There are all kinds of thoughts among them, and they finally come together.

Although Yin Li understood the truth, he didn't take it seriously, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

But when she wanted to cast the concealing spell, she was surprised to find that it was useless?

There is still magic power flowing in the body, but it cannot be used. It is as if it is immersed in a quagmire and every movement is suppressed.

"You are so careless that you only realized it now..."

Jiang Yan was speechless.

He himself does not quite understand his own magical powers.

If it was just a single mark of the seven emotions, it would be fine, but this place is clearly abnormal.

If the trace of Yin Li's condensed seven emotions is counted as one, then this place can be counted as hundreds or thousands!

It is not even one, but called a "domain"

They have entered this "domain" constructed by the traces of the seven emotions, and all rules must naturally be followed according to the common sense of the seven emotions.

That is to say, one must act according to the preferences and common sense of the owner who left the Seven Emotions Scars.

"Ahem... Dear fellow villagers, I'm sorry to bother you all. Today is my young lady's first time out. Please forgive me if I'm offended..."

As he spoke, Jiang Yan slowly stepped forward and punched one of the men hard!

The other party only had time to open his eyes wide before he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Then his whole body was bent like a shrimp and flew backwards more than ten meters away! Without even a sound, he fainted on the ground.

Before anyone could even cry out in shock, Jiang Yan shouted, "This man has such a cunning eye! Seeing the two of us walking in a busy city, he tried to commit a crime! He stole my young lady's money!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and held up a money bag as evidence.

The exclamations around stopped, and then whispers were heard.

"I see. I was wondering why that person was hiding behind me. So that's how it is."

"This gentleman is...really powerful! He can send someone flying over ten meters with one punch!"

"The young lady looks like a noble official, and this guard is no ordinary one! Don't mess with her..."

In this way, the excitement soon faded and the market returned to normal.

Yin Li, who saw everything, was filled with curiosity.

She came close to Jiang Yan with a pair of sparkling eyes.

"Sir, you are so awesome!"

Jiang Yan waved his hand.

"Basic Exercises Don't Be Six"

"Imperial mountains and bad waters breed unruly people. The more such places are, the more hooligans know each other's innocence, and outsiders are easily identified. I don't know how many malicious glances I've noticed."

"Just now I just picked the one with the most malicious intentions and beat him up to kill the one who stood out."

Yin Li's eyes curved slightly: "But what if they report it to the police? What if the people and bandits are all over the street?"

Jiang Yan was puzzled:

"Why should we report it to the police? There are only two of us. They can find more opportunities at night to drug us, attack us by surprise, frame us, etc. Wouldn't that be great? And they can keep the money for themselves."

Yin Li was stunned: "Uh... why do I feel like you look so familiar, sir? Could it be that you..."

Jiang Yan tilted his head and narrowed his eyes slightly, while Yin Li shrank his head and said nothing in anger.

"Stop joking and come and figure out how to get out with me."

Yin Li stuck out her pink tongue and trotted to catch up with Jiang Yan.

“I tried that just now.”

"What's the catch?"

"I haven't figured out how to leave the Seven Emotions Scar yet..."

"??? If you keep playing dirty, I'll really spank you, don't you believe it?"

Yin Li chuckled: "Isn't it that I feel safe and secure around you, sir~"

"As for this Seven Emotions Domain, there's no need to rush. Wait for it to naturally evolve to its end and then you can get out. Generally speaking, the owner of a Seven Emotions Domain of this scale must be extremely powerful!"

"It was able to leave such a profound impression on this place that the emanation of the Seven Emotions left a mark on the objective world that could not be dispelled even after decades."

At this point, Yin Li suddenly realized:

"I see. Why is it so difficult to pull out the Mark of Seven Emotions, which I could have easily drawn out..."

"Don't bother wasting your energy. Let's just think of a solution. If we really expect this Seven Emotions Domain to end, we don't know when. What if it takes months or decades? So we should bet on both sides. On the one hand, we should look for the owner who left the scar, and on the other hand, we should figure out how to get out."

"Don't leave me idle either."

"Well... sir..."

Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone slightly threatening.

"I was sleeping soundly today when you woke me up, and then I was dragged into an unknown danger for no reason. I'm in a bad mood right now. If I could get out earlier, it would be fine. But if it's too late~"

Yin Li felt a chill running up from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. She was originally listless and listless, but the next moment she felt full of energy!

"Okay! No problem!"

Jiang Yan nodded in satisfaction, expressing his approval of Yin Li's attitude.

But they searched for a long time but still found nothing, and until late at night they still had not found a way to escape from this place.

"What should I do? Yin Li has searched a lot but there is no way to leave. My spells are useless, and even my physique seems to be ineffective here. It doesn't work."

As dusk fell, Yin Li felt a little anxious. It was because as the sun set and the moon rose, the place shrouded in darkness began to disappear inexplicably?

Although she could not sense any danger, her intuition told her that something bad would happen if she was shrouded in darkness.

The night sky was like white satin splashed with thick ink, eating away the distant mountains and trees bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Those originally clear outlines became blurred under the erosion of darkness, and eventually turned into chaos and the unknown.

Yin Li was frightened, and so was Jiang Yan. He felt it even more than Yin Li, but he was much calmer than Yin Li, and his eyes were calm.

"This place is made up of the seven emotions. It must be the impression left by a certain being. In his impression, this place is full of mortals, so after we suddenly broke in, we were also suppressed as mortals..."

"So after dark, mortals should... sleep!"

Jiang Yan looked into the distance, and when he saw that the place had turned into nothingness, he knew that it was not appropriate to stay any longer.

"go!"

Yin Li was stunned for only a moment before quickly catching up, without asking why, and just followed closely behind him.

Jiang Yan had no intention of answering the question. He just took Yin Li and quickly knocked on the doors of every household in the neighborhood.

The same is true for several other districts.

However, the streets that were quite bustling during the day were now deserted, with every household staying indoors.

The market town Jiang Yan was currently visiting was just an ordinary small town. Although there were tea stalls and vendors there, there were no inns or places to stay.

After knocking on the doors of most of the residents in the neighborhood, even Yin Li, who was very well-mannered, couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"Damn it, there's no one to even open the door!"

"What should we do, sir? We're about to be swallowed up! Why don't we just break in!"

Jiang Yan's face was gloomy as he looked at everything in the market town. A strange sense of familiarity kept lingering in his mind.

Although he had some guesses in his mind, he still didn't want to believe it.

After only a moment of hesitation, he quickly made up his mind.

"Come with me!"

After saying that, Jiang Yan suddenly stood up and rushed forward with Yin Li, turning around and around until they headed towards a winding alley.

As he moved, the darkness behind him suddenly exploded as if it were a living thing and followed closely behind, biting Jiang Yan tightly!

"arrive!"

The increasingly familiar scene before his eyes did not make Jiang Yan feel much better. Instead, it felt like he was hit in the chest by a heavy hammer, making it impossible to breathe.

He broke through the gate and rushed in, and then the door closed automatically, isolating the pursuing darkness outside!

The courtyard was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The surrounding layout was also familiar. The stone table under the small tree was still there, with the leftover fruit peels from Yin Li still on it.

Jiang Yan's heart was pounding, but the solemnity on his face did not diminish at all, as if the danger just now was still vivid in his mind.

Yin Li also recovered. After a while, she had enough energy to look around and her eyes widened.

"How...how did we...go back?"

Jiang Yan said nothing, but just raised his leg and stepped into the house, and the scene inside came into view.

The bamboo curtains in the room were half rolled up, and an elm bed was placed inside. There was a mahogany square table in the outer room with washed dishes on it. There was a huge cabinet in the corner that was big enough for someone to hide.

Jiang Yan walked slowly to the cabinet, placed his hands on it, paused for a moment, and then suddenly opened it!

Inside, a fragile little girl was hugging herself and curled up inside, holding half an orange in her hand, with dried tears in the corners of her eyes, but a sweet smile on her lips.

It’s like having a beautiful dream, even reality is smiling.

"really……"

Yin Li hurried in and was even more shocked when she saw the little girl Shen Zhixue.

"How did she get in?!"

Jiang Yan gently closed the cabinet door without disturbing the girl's sweet dream. He slowly walked to the door and looked into the distance, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"I'm afraid we haven't even entered the so-called Realm of the Seven Emotions. Rather, the Realm of the Seven Emotions has descended upon reality, enveloping us all..."

Looking at his palm, Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel a headache.

"Yin Li's accident has really disrupted all my plans..."

When Jiang Yan first arrived at this market, he felt a faint sense of familiarity. He compared it with his memory and Yin Li's description of the roots of the seven emotions.

He could guess that this place was Jinxiufang from decades ago.

The roots of the seven emotions can continue to operate based on the past life of the person who left the trace, and will respond to any contact.

And those who come into contact with others can also receive feedback, just like Yin Li touching others at the morning market.

But this is only effective for those who have not yet gotten rid of the entanglement of delusion. If one sits high in the spiritual platform and silently observes those who are entangled in delusion, this kind of "feedback" will be full of loopholes.

Jiang Yan was able to do it early on, and Yin Li could do it as well, but neither of them noticed any flaws throughout the day.

At this point, Jiang Yan's heart was already a little depressed.

"Those who are not of the same nature are not capable of interacting with the subjective. In other words, the beings we encounter... are not manifestations of the seven emotions, but are real people!"

Yin Li's heart trembled.

"This... could it be that the Seven Emotions Roots I summoned have taken over the original people?!"

Jiang Yan did not respond, but just lowered his head in thought.

"Jingming Prefecture has ten counties and one hundred and thirty-one wards. How much does the Root of the Seven Emotions cover? Is it just Jinxiu Ward... or the entire county? The entire prefecture?!"

This is what Jiang Yan cares about most.

Jiang Yan had never dabbled in this area, but the subjective and objective paths led to the same conclusion. Once one understood, all things would be understood. The seven roots of the fundamental emotions had been falling on ordinary people for a long time...

Even if the roots of the seven emotions dissipate later, will the original person return to his original state?

Jiang Yan didn't dare to comment without seeing the consequences, but he speculated that it might be that people would fundamentally change their minds in the end...

"Yin Li, guard your spiritual platform firmly and do not be disturbed by your delusions."

Yin Li herself knew the roots of the seven emotions better, so naturally she knew the consequences of being infected by them before Jiang Yan.

Although Yin Li also had the common problem of cultivators, not taking mortals too seriously, she had never actually slaughtered and changed the people of an entire district or county, depriving and distorting the nature of living beings.

With the mind lost, it could no longer maintain subjectivity and turned into consciousness. Consciousness is inseparable from delusion, and this situation made it completely confused.

There is even a hint of inner demons growing.

However, Jiang Yan noticed it immediately and gave a reminder. The loud sound of the Tao reached his ears, shaking his mind like a huge bell!

It only took a moment to wake her up.

"Sir... I've caused you trouble again..."

What else could Jiang Yan say to reprimand him?

Yin Li had good intentions, and just wanted to show off his initial magical powers. How could he have known that this place would contain such a terrifying Seven Emotions Mark...

Are the traces of the seven emotions hidden here?

A ray of spiritual light flashed by, and Jiang Yan's divine light was overwhelming. Without thinking, Jiang Yan followed the feeling in the dark, leaned over and pressed one hand on the ground.

Golden threads surged out from the palm of his hand, instantly occupying the entire courtyard like mercury pouring on the ground!

Soon, an obscure and mysterious formation was outlined.

Jiang Yan was sitting at the core of the formation, cross-legged with his five hearts facing the sky.

At this moment, Mr. Yin Lizhijue's figure seemed to have disappeared and his shape could not be perceived, but it was like the power of heaven descending to the world, vast and magnificent, suffocating people.

"In the beginning there was spirit, and the years were its chapters. My soul is drawn to the past, and my mind traces the passage of time. The sky opens the chaos, revealing my true light. All the events of the past are now clear. My spiritual eyes are like torches, penetrating the vicissitudes of life..."
