Chapter 234 New World
Zheng Yi felt it carefully for a while and then confirmed that he was indeed underwater.
It should be a small stream with not very fast current, about one meter above the water surface.
The width of the creek is not very wide, about seven or eight meters.
But...he discovered the biggest problem.
He is not physically traveling, nor is his soul traveling, nor is he reincarnated.
But... a mirror!
Yes, now he has become a mirror.
A bronze oval mirror the size of a finger is quietly stuck on the edge of the message, surrounded by soil and water plants.
After carefully sensing it, the appearance of this small round mirror formed in his mind.
The mirror surface is dull and dull, while the back is made of bronze, which is very similar to the back of the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror.
But if you look closely, there are many differences.
Now, he is like having a 360-degree 3D camera with no blind spots, which can observe any situation in the surrounding area.
To put it simply, the grade of the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror is far higher than that of this small bronze mirror.
With a thought, his spirit quickly returned to his own sea of consciousness.
The Yin Yang Treasure Mirror is still floating quietly in the sea of his own consciousness.
"What the hell is going on?"
As soon as doubts appeared in my mind, lines of writing appeared on the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror again.
[Reflecting all the heavens and all the worlds, the Yin-Yang Treasure Illusion Body can be the coordinates of all worlds and the passage of all worlds. 】
[After certain conditions are met, you can travel through the Yin-Yang Treasure Illusion Body. 】
"Huh?"
"That is to say, I can't travel through time yet, only if I meet certain conditions...what conditions?"
The writing on the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror disappeared, the clouds rolled, and soon another writing appeared.
[Power of Time: 0/100. 】
"The power of time? What is this?"
Zheng Yi was stunned. He originally thought he could travel directly through the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror, but he didn't expect that there were conditions?
But what is this power of time...?
After pondering hard for an explanation, Zheng Yi could only enter the three thousand worlds through the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror again, and concentrated his energy on this phantom body of the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror.
After a period of exploration, he quickly figured out the function of this phantom body.
In summary, this small bronze mirror is actually an illusion of the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror.
He can use this bronze mirror as the center to scan the surrounding environment, which is about ten meters in radius.
In addition, he can also use his own mental power to write writing on the bronze mirror like the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror, or to emit light, spiritual energy fluctuations, etc.
But...what's the use?
He was in the river now, and he was buried in the mud. He couldn't just drift with the current.
Could it be that... I can only stay here quietly?
He waited patiently, and when the sky gradually became brighter, Zheng Yi quickly sensed something.
The flow of the river in the distance began to speed up.
Not long after, he actually 'saw' a group of ragged people walking towards the river with their trouser legs rolled up.
They also held fishing nets, bamboo sieves, shovels and other tools in their hands, stepped into the river, began to scoop up the sediment from the river bottom, and then continuously washed it.
"W-What are you doing?"
Zheng Yi was confused. He was at the edge of the creek and was stuck on the pebbles on the edge, so he was not discovered by this group of people.
Soon he discovered more details.
These people who went down to the river to wash away the sediment seemed to be from poor families.
They were all skinny and skinny, dressed in rags, and living in the open air. They ranged from children to adults.
On the shore, there are often two or three figures in gray clothes with the same pattern embroidered on their chests watching back and forth.
Suddenly, a young man shouted in the river, picked out something from the bamboo sieve in his hand, and ran towards the shore excitedly.
The man in gray who was closest to the shore quickly rushed over, carefully grabbed the young man's hand and inspected it, then nodded with satisfaction and patted the young man's shoulder vigorously.
The young man pursed his lips and smiled, while the man in gray took out a pen and a booklet from his storage bag and started recording.
Then the boy returned to the water and continued to repeat the previous actions.
Zheng Yi quickly reacted and suddenly realized: "Is this gold mining? No, it's... mining for spiritual sand!"
The so-called spiritual sand is the aggregation of spiritual energy formed by concentrated spiritual energy in certain minerals.
The most basic ones are various spirit stone veins.
Hidden among the famous mountains, rivers and spiritual veins, such as Tianshou Mountain, there is a spiritual vein.
It's a pity that if you want to wait for Tianshou Mountain's spiritual veins to condense into spiritual stone veins, you don't know how long you have to wait.
In addition to spiritual stones, there is spiritual sand.
Among the famous mountains and rivers, there must be rivers, waterfalls, lakes, etc.
In these rivers, waterfalls, and lakes, a large amount of spiritual sand will also be formed due to various reasons, being washed by the river water, or flowing out of the spiritual sand veins.
If you want to find these spiritual sands, you must spend a lot of manpower to wash them.
It's like gold mining.
These ragged mortals are being looked after by these monks, searching for spiritual sand in this river!
Suddenly Zheng Yi thought, and lines of writing appeared on the mirror of the Yin-Yang Treasure Appraisal Illusion Body.
[You witnessed a family of monks kidnapped mortals to wash out the spiritual sand. The power of time +0.001. 】
The power of time has increased!
Zheng Yi's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly reacted.
It turns out that this is how the power of time comes!
As long as oneself, or the phantom body of Yin Yang Baojian, experiences more things and witnesses more history, the more power of time will be gained.
A mere mortal's washing of spiritual sand can increase 0.001 points.
So as we witness more events and history, doesn’t the power of time increase faster?
But now that I am trapped under the pebbles and sand, how can I attract the monk's attention? At this moment, Zheng Yi saw a dark-skinned middle-aged man walking over.
He grabbed the bamboo sieve with both hands and moved it toward the bottom of the river. He picked up a lot of mud and sand, and then shook it vigorously, trying to find the spiritual sand hidden at the bottom of the river bed.
However, his luck was obviously not as good as that of the young man just now. There was no spiritual sand in this sieve of mud.
However, he was not discouraged and continued digging and washing.
Zheng Yi's heart moved and he immediately had an idea.
The bronze mirror hidden under the cobblestones suddenly emitted a faint light.
This kind of light looks extremely dreamy when reflected in the river water.
The middle-aged man who was washing the spiritual sand suddenly stopped. He put the bamboo sieve into the river and rubbed his eyes vigorously, as if he couldn't believe it.
He quickly reacted and did not stop the movement of his hands. Instead, he continued to wash the spiritual sand while quietly moving towards this side.
Zheng Yi was full of doubts. What was this man doing? Why didn't he quickly pick himself up and hand it over to the monks on the shore?
Or...
Finally, the middle-aged man came to the shore and bent down to dig out sand. At the same time, he rummaged wildly among the pebbles with his right hand.
Soon, he found something, which was the Yin-Yang Treasure Appreciation Illusion Body.
After shaking in the river, the real panel of the ancient bronze mirror was revealed, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Spiritual creature!
It’s definitely a spiritual creature!
This spiritual object seemed to be glowing just now, maybe it was a magic weapon used by the immortal masters.
If you take it out, you can definitely sell it for a good price.
Don't let the Zhang family find out.
Thinking like this, the look of surprise in his eyes turned into greed, and then he bent down and stepped on the ancient mirror under his feet, clamping it firmly with his thumbs.
After finding a piece of spiritual sand, the Zhang family gave ten cents, which was really too little.
This spiritual object is definitely worth more than ten cents, if...
Depend on!
The big black man was happily imagining something, but Zheng Yi cursed in his heart.
What the hell!
I want the monk to get it, so that he can definitely witness a lot of history and gain time points.
But what use do you, a mortal, have to me?
And... he also trampled 'me' under his feet.
It's really... it's intolerable!
With a thought in his mind, his magic power surged, and a faint wave of spiritual energy immediately emitted from the Yin Yang Treasure Appraisal Illusion Body.
This kind of spiritual energy fluctuation cannot be detected by mortals.
But for monks, especially those who are mentally sensitive and close, they can quickly discover it.
Sure enough.
A gray-clothed monk who was patrolling on the shore suddenly moved, turned around and looked at the black man, and then walked over quickly.
The big black man was still happily washing the spiritual sand, mentally preparing to ask for leave later and go to the latrine, and then hide the treasure in the latrine.
After everyone has rested at night, take it over quietly.
Perhaps due to unparalleled luck, he actually found another piece of spiritual sand in the sand. He was really lucky.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a shadow above my head.
Subconsciously, he looked up and saw a man in gray floating in the air, staring at him coldly.
"Immortal, Immortal Master, what are your orders?"
"Take it out."
"Yes, yes yes yes..."
The big black man quickly picked out the piece of spiritual sand from the bamboo sieve and handed it over respectfully.
"Immortal, Immortal Master, my name is Niu Dashan. This is the first spiritual sand I found today."
"What else?"
"W-What?"
Niu Dashan panicked and said: "No, no more, the villain only has this piece of spiritual sand..."
"Seeking death!"
The monk in gray shouted coldly, waved his hand, and a sword light shot out, instantly piercing Niu Dashan's chest.
"Poof!"
"Immortal, Immortal Master, for me, me..."
After struggling for a while, Niu Dashan had a look of despair on his face, and finally he was hit hard into the river and lost his breath.
Without his control, the Yin-Yang Treasure Appraisal Body also flowed out of the river.
The gray-clothed monk's eyes narrowed and he quickly discovered the ancient bronze mirror. He stretched out his hand and grabbed it immediately.
"Mirror fragment? It was the one that emitted spiritual energy fluctuations just now...could it be said that it was a fragment of a magic weapon?"
The fragments all have spiritual energy fluctuations, and their grade is at least above that of a high-grade magic weapon.
It's fitting that he has such luck.
"Ah...!"
At this time, the surrounding mortals also noticed the gray-clothed monk's movements, which seemed extremely flustered, but quickly stabilized.
Another figure flew over, but this person was wearing a white robe and frowned: "Niu Liang, what happened?"
The monk named Niu Liang quickly turned around and said respectfully: "Third Young Master, this mortal dared to hide the spiritual sand secretly. His subordinates discovered it and punished him."
The monk in white frowned and said: "I, the Zhang family, have recently occupied the Weiyang River, so I should be lenient to others. Otherwise, how can the surrounding mortals serve us loyally?"
"That's all, in the future, anyone who is found to be hiding spiritual sand mortals will be expelled on the spot. The family will not be allowed to live around Weiyang Mountain and will not be protected by my Zhang family."
"It's Young Master Seven, and my subordinates know it."
"Continue patrolling."
"Yes!"
