"May I borrow it for a moment? I think I have a pimple on my face and want to take a look. .
. " Smack!
Xing An slapped his hand away and stuffed the mirror back into his Taotie Pouch, saying calmly, "Do not touch my things. You are poisonous.
Princess of the Ling family, where in the Wasteland is the place you visited? Can you take me there?
" He had communicated with the strange eye in the Divine Treasury of Life and Death—the eye must have wanted him to go take a look. Ling Yuxiu hesitated, then said, "I still need to make a trip to Fengdu and have no time to take you there.
But I do remember the geography of that place.
I can draw you a map. " Xing An thanked her. Ling Yuxiu asked Shen Mu for brush and ink and drew a geographical map. Xing An said without betraying any emotion, "What dangers are there in this place?
" Ling Yuxiu laughed, "If there were dangers, how could I have returned alive? Who in this world has the highest cultivation and strength besides Senior Xing An?
" Xing An smiled, "If you could return alive, then naturally so can I. Divine Physician Shen, come with me for a trip? " Shen Mu hesitated, "Senior Brother, why must you bring me along to search for someone in the Wasteland?
I have helped you find the person, and I will help you put this painting up all over Jingping.
If there is any news, I will notify you. You go look for traces of the jade pendant, and I also need to go pay respects at the Human Emperor Hall.
If I delay any longer, the Human Emperors of past generations will poke my spine and curse me to die early and meet them. " Xing An looked at the map Ling Yuxiu had drawn and said earnestly, "Princess of the Ling family, if I do not find the writing from the jade pendant there, then you can well imagine the consequences.
Your Ling family will be erased from this world because of it! " Ling Yuxiu shuddered and forced a smile, "I did not lie to you.
. . " Xing An turned and left. Both Shen Mu and Ling Yuxiu breathed a sigh of relief. Ling Yuxiu wiped the sweat from her forehead and was about to speak when Shen Mu raised his hand. Ling Yuxiu hastily stopped.
The two were of one mind. Together their primordial spirits left their bodies and fled far away. They flew tens of thousands of li from Crimson Dragon City before stopping. Ling Yuxiu's primordial spirit asked, "Cowherd, what exactly is that place?
Is it dangerous?
The lives and fortunes of my Ling family are riding on this!
" The reason she had said those things was that Shen Mu, seizing a moment when Xing An was not paying attention, had used the Celestial Feather Clan's psychic waves to contact her and told her to say and draw those things. The Celestial Feather Clan did not speak among themselves but communicated through psychic waves.
Without needing sound, with just a thought they could know each other's minds, acting as one, swift and agile.
Although psychic communication had great drawbacks, it was very useful for keeping secrets. "Rest assured, whatever you told Xing An, he will see it there—but he will not find anything useful. " Shen Mu's primordial spirit said, "After he goes there, if he turns back right away, he can still walk out.
If he insists on going deeper to search for more clues, then whether he can walk out will depend on his wisdom. Back then, the Village Head and the others barged in together and nearly could not return.
It was Grandpa Mo Jiang who rescued them. After Xing An returns, he will not come to kill you for this, because you did not lie. " The place he spoke of was the place they had once suspected to be the Land of No Sorrow—a giant ship forged by the Celestial Artisan God Clan.
But the Celestial Artisan God Clan had failed to enter the Land of No Sorrow. They had been ambushed by enemies and, together with that unimaginably vast ship, were trapped in an enormous three-dimensional spatial seal.
