Quick Wear Dream Qiqi

Chapter 185: Demons and Monsters 29

He ignored Gong Shangjiao's obstruction and ran towards the direction where the piano sound came from.

Gong Shangjiao sighed helplessly and could only follow, as he was worried that his brother would be hurt again.

When Gong Yuanzheng arrived, he found only a zither lying quietly on the ground, with no one around, as if the piano sound just now was just an auditory hallucination.

Gong Yuanzheng picked up the guqin, held it tightly in his arms, and his eyes became more complicated and profound.

When my fingertips lightly touched the strings, I found that there were faint traces of internal force on them.

He was unable to conceal his shock at this discovery.

He recalled Meng Qiqi's various performances in the palace gate. Those seemingly unintentional actions now seemed to hide unfathomable martial arts skills.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he secretly admired in his heart that she was worthy of being the person he liked.

She had more secrets than he imagined.

I think that even if I encounter danger, I can protect myself.

Thinking of this, Gong Yuanzheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Gong Shangjiao followed and saw Gong Yuanzheng standing quietly in the bamboo forest, holding a broken guqin in his arms.

He strode up to Gong Yuanzheng and asked in a low voice, "Isn't this Miss Meng's guqin? Why is it so badly damaged?"

----

Deep in the mountains, thick white fog filled the entire valley, as if you were in the clouds.

In a green bamboo forest, the breeze blows, and the bamboo leaves make rustling sounds.

The exquisite bead emitted a faint blue light in the air, like a dream, attracting the attention of several of them.

When a person's eyes come into contact with it, they will first feel a slight dizziness, as if the whole world is spinning.

Then, my head began to feel heavy and my thoughts gradually became blurred, as if shrouded in a layer of mist.

Strange hallucinations began to appear in my mind, with memories of the past and real scenes intertwined, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Slowly, people's consciousness begins to wander, they lose control of themselves, and become completely immersed in this illusory world, unable to extricate themselves.

Meng Qiqi looked at the exquisite beads floating in the air, and then looked at Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi, both of whom were now unconscious.

A trace of barely perceptible fatigue flashed across Meng Qiqi's eyes. The bamboo swayed gently in the wind, and she was standing on the slightly swaying bamboo.

Of the two people behind her, one was immersed in his own fantasy world, while the other was chattering about irrelevant things.

Meng Qiqi's lips curled up into a self-deprecating smile, and she silently said in her heart: "It's better to rely on myself than on these two."

Meng Qiqi slowly took out a crystal clear glass cup from her sleeve. This was something she had accidentally obtained in the past few years. After she refined it, it became a glass cup with fire attribute.

She gently placed the glass cup in her palm, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and began to mobilize the fire spiritual power in her body.

The fire spiritual power surged towards the exquisite bead like a tide. The bead began to emit a dazzling light, and the surrounding air was dyed with a faint red.

Meng Qiqi opened her eyes, a hint of determination flashed in them. She threw the glass cup into the air. The exquisite bead spun rapidly in the air, and the glass cup emitted a blazing flame, illuminating everything around it.

The exquisite pearl in the air emitted a faint glow.

As if attracted by some mysterious force, the exquisite bead slowly flew towards the glass cup.

The moment it approached the glass lamp, the dim light of the pearl suddenly became brighter, illuminating the bamboo forest.

With a slight "ding" sound, the exquisite bead fell accurately into the glass cup, fitting perfectly with the cup body.

The liquid in the glass cup seemed to be activated and began to rotate slowly, emitting a charming luster.

As the exquisite pearl returned to the glass cup, the mist in the bamboo forest began to slowly dissipate.

The fog that had been everywhere, blocking the view and making people lose their way, disappeared bit by bit like the receding tide.

Meng Qiqi stretched out her hand and the glass cup flew back into her hand.

She carefully put away the glass cup and turned to look at Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi.

At this time, Xue Chongzi's eyes gradually became clear again, and Xue Gongzi also stopped mumbling.

"What happened?" Xue Chongzi asked while rubbing his head, obviously not fully understanding the situation.

Meng Qiqi naturally would not say that she had subdued the Linglong Pearl. She simply explained how the fog in the bamboo forest had just caused them to fall into an illusion, and how she used her internal energy to dissolve the fog in the bamboo forest.

After hearing this, Master Xue was filled with shame: "Thanks to the young lady's wit and courage, we two are ashamed."

Meng Qiqi just waved her hand and looked into the depths of the bamboo forest.

"It's not advisable to stay here for long. Let's leave as soon as possible." After saying that, the three of them packed their luggage and walked out of the bamboo forest.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, casting mottled shadows and falling on her, as if heralding the beginning of a new journey.

As soon as we walked out of the valley, we heard the sound of horse hooves.

I saw a man in black riding on a horse, followed by a group of attendants.

The man had a stern expression and frowned slightly when he saw Meng Qiqi and the others.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" the man asked.

Meng Qiqi stepped forward, saluted, and said incoherently, "We are just travelers passing through here, and now we are heading to the next town."

The man snorted coldly: "Who knows if you have any bad intentions."

Seeing this, Master Xue hurriedly said, "We really have no ill intentions. Please don't make things difficult for us."

The man looked at them and his gaze lingered on Meng Qiqi for a few seconds.

"You don't look like liars. However, there are many dangers ahead on this road. It's best for you to take a detour."

Meng Qiqi thanked him for his kindness, but firmly stated that she still wanted to move forward.

The man did not try to persuade them much, and rode his horse with everyone to leave for the valley.

Meng Qiqi guessed that the man went to the valley for the Linglong Pearl.

She looked at the man's receding back and thought to herself: This Linglong Pearl is said to contain enormous power. If he really came for the Linglong Pearl, he must have some ulterior motive.

Xue Chongzi patted Meng Qiqi's shoulder and whispered, "Never mind him, let's just meet up with Gong Shangjiao and the others first."

Meng Qiqi shook her head slightly: "You guys meet up with Gong Shangjiao first, I have something else to do, I'll be there soon."

Xue Chongzi looked at Meng Qiqi's receding figure and murmured, "Miss Meng, are you going to find that man?"

Master Xue's eyes widened upon hearing this: "Miss Meng is crazy. That man looks like someone who is not to be trifled with, and he has a group of attendants with him."

But Meng Qiqi seemed to have made up her mind, so Xue Chongzi couldn't stop her.

After Meng Qiqi returned to the valley, she quietly followed the group of people.

After entering the valley, the man ordered his servants to disperse and search.

Meng Qiqi hid behind a huge rock, watching the man's every move closely.

The man walked to the place where the Linglong Pearl was before, searched everywhere without any results, and looked angry.

Suddenly, he drew the sword from his waist and shouted into the air: "Whoever took the exquisite pearl, if you don't hand it over, I will make sure you die without a burial place!"

Meng Qiqi, who was hiding in the dark, was shocked. It seemed that this man knew that there was a Linglong Pearl here.

Meng Qiqi changed her mind and took out the glass cup. The glass cup in her hand flashed with a faint blue light, and the light spread out like a thread.

In an instant, ripples appeared in the space around the man, like a stone thrown into a calm lake.
