Chapter 2559 The Guardian
“Why is this so? Isn’t this some kind of illusion array? That is not possible!”
She tried walking back the way the old man had brought her in, but she couldn’t get to the end. The location appeared to be a circle, and after going around it, she would return to the same spot.
It was impossible not to get out with her skill in arrays and boundary barriers. However, this location was clearly strange; it appeared that she had overlooked something.
“This isn’t going to work. I need to think about it carefully.”
She walked slowly, step by step, in front of the small dozen houses, and unknowingly came to a well.
“Have I overlooked a location? What on earth is going on?” She muttered softly. She was thinking about things when her eyes inadvertently fell on the moon in the well; even though her eyes were on the moon, she was thinking about something else.
However, a light flashed through her mind, and she hurled forward. As she looked at the moon in the water, her eyes widened in amazement.
“Backwards? How can it be reversed?” She looked up instinctively, and sure enough, the moon in the night sky was on the opposite side. Suddenly, a thought occurred to her. “I see…”
No wonder those people wore their clothes backwards, no wonder she felt strange, it was because everything here was reversed!
So she should have been inside a mirror, not an illusion array!
Everything was only backwards in the mirror! It was no longer a problem for her to leave now that she had discovered the reason!
She chuckled and sat with her hands on the well’s edge, her voice releasing spirit energy breath. “Uncle, will you take the initiative to let me out or do you want me to break your stupid mirror?”
“Eh? You are aware that this is a mirror?” The elderly man’s astonished voice came abruptly.
Feng Jiu chuckled as she listened to his response. “What else is backwards except in the mirror?If I guess correctly, I should be inside one of the many hand-held magical mirrors?”
“Miss, you’re so smart. How long has it been since someone defeated the old man’s Illusory Moon Mirror?”
The old man remarked with his face wreathed with smiles. His tone was the same as always as if he was simply joking around with Feng Jiu. Instead of letting her out as Feng Jiu had proposed, he smiled, “Now that you know, you can come out on your own! If you can’t find a way out, you’re going to have to stay there for a while.”
Feng Jiu was not surprised in the least. She just smiled and sat by the well, asking, “What are you bringing me here for, Uncle? I’ve been here for quite some time, and my stomach is still empty.”
“Hahaha, how can a person who can come to the Thousand Illusory Sea be considered ordinary? Since you’re here, you have to go through this old man’s hurdle first.” The old man’s cheerful voice reached Feng Jiu’s ear. She heard him inquire, “Where did you come from, Miss? What is your name? How did you find this place?”
Thousand Illusory Sea? Feng Jiu whispered the name in her heart. On the map given by Old Man Tianji, there was a sea drawn here, but he didn’t say what it was called. But, based on what the old man just said, could he be the one guarding the sea?
“Miss? Miss? Hey, since you’re not talking, I’ll sleep first.” The old man yawned and tossed the mirror aside.
