Aunt Yue touched Yao Ling"s forehead once again, however, she didn"t try to read anything from her this time. Instead, there was a thin golden thread that was trailing over the white glow that had appeared first. The golden thread seemed to move slowly from the tip of Aunt Yue"s finger to Yao Ling"s forehead.
The trio could only gaze at the amazing scene in front of them in a mixture of awe and disbelief. They had never heard the Han Kingdom or the Shu Kingdom had this kind of magical things. What was so special about the Bei Yue race? How could she have such power? Did all of them have this kind of power... or only Aunt Yue?
This scene led to so many questions ah~! However, they were tactful enough by not asking any questions during this critical time.
Aunt Yue used her power to go inside Yao Ling"s subconscious mind. She rarely used this technique because it would be able to exhaust her inner qi and take a toll to her body, but this was an important thing to do at the moment. She was willing to gamble her life just to meet this young woman face to face.
Whether they had enough time to talk about everything or not was another matter, at least, she could get to know her. Aunt Yue"s heart was bursting in excitement when she felt that she was successfully intruding Yao Ling"s subconscious mind.
This was it! She thought to herself.
Even if she went inside Yao Ling"s mind, it was only her soul that came inside. Her real body was still on the outside world, staying at the same position and as long as she was in there, the golden thread would still connect both of their bodies. Aunt Yue"s real body was just like Yao Ling --- still breathing, but not moving the slightest. She was still standing there while her index finger kept touching Yao Ling"s forehead.
The trio noticed that Aunt Yue had ceased moving once the golden thread reached Yao Ling"s forehead. A few moments had pa.s.sed but there was still no movement. Aunt Yue didn"t tell them anything and truthfully it made them feel quite anxious.
Lin Jian couldn"t stop his curiosity. He stood on Aunt Yue"s side and moved his hand up and down in front of Aunt Yue"s face, but the latter didn"t even blink. Honestly, it was quite scary! He tried to find some reactions from her by poking her shoulder softly, but nothing... nada... Lin Jian didn"t dare to use too much strength, just in case his movement would make her hand move and it would disturb Aunt Yue"s concentration.
There was still no movement on Aunt Yue"s part and at the same time, he could feel that his finger that was used to poke Aunt Yue"s shoulder was being electrocuted. He quickly pulled his hand back and looked at his own hand in amazement. This was the craziest thing he had ever seen in his life! He turned to look at Yao Ying and Xiao Fang in amazement, then asked, "What"s going on? It seems like her soul is leaving her body...? Her body electrocuted my hand just now!"
Yao Ying also noticed that abnormality but because of this, he understood the reason why Aunt Yue told them not to let anyone bother her. He quickly said, "Stand back! Don"t bother Aunt Yue"s body anymore... we should just let them be and guard their bodies."
Lin Jian agreed. He should stand back or else... he would become a lump of dead meat.
Xiao Fang asked worriedly, "Will they be okay?" She bit her lower lips due to her nervousness and she finally could accept the fact that Bei Yue people was indeed abnormal. But still... she couldn"t help but feel worried.
Yao Ying answered confidently, "They will..." He could only hold onto this hope. If he didn"t believe in Aunt Yue, then he would have no hope left anymore! This was just a way for him to convince himself that Yao Ling would certainly survive the ordeal!
After listening to what Yao Ying said, all of them decided to be quiet and stay vigilance --- just in case, the hidden guards suddenly woke up and attacked them. They could only pray to the Big Buddha inside their heart and hope that nothing would go wrong.
They looked at Aunt Yue and Yao Ling"s direction intently, waiting patiently.
Aunt Yue saw that Yao Ling was currently in a deep sleep. The glowing symbols had awakened something within Yao Ling but because of the sudden interference, her inner qi and mind were conflicted with each other --- making her inner body in disarray. Aunt Yue"s job was to make the disarray gone and turn her body back into normal.
After that, she could communicate with her until it was time to say goodbye.
Aunt Yue quickly used her power to try to calm Yao Ling"s inner qi first, so that her inner qi would stop attacking her subconscious mind. She took a deep breath and chanted a few ancient Bei Yue"s words, in a flash, Yao Ling"s inner qi started to calm down. It was swirling around Aunt Yue"s soul and the latter gave a little bit of her power so, in the future, Yao Ling was able to control her own inner qi with ease.
After the awakening of her power, Yao Ling would need guidance to control her power. However, Aunt Yue didn"t have much time left so she used the simplest way but yet consumed Aunt Yue"s life energy --- she made Yao Ling"s body to be able to subconsciously recognize the way how the power worked so Yao Ling could manage it once she woke up.
Aunt Yue could feel that her old bone was getting tired, fortunately, before she started this healing process, she had already concocted a potion and drank it. It was just a simple potion to give her a burst of energy, not only that... but her body would also be back at the peak of her life in an instant. However, this could only work for the next three s.h.i.+chen. That was why she told Xiao Fang that she could only hold on for three s.h.i.+chen the previous night.
Aunt Yue"s whole body was sweating and her breathing had become erratic, but she didn"t stop there or give up. She started the awakening process of Yao Ling"s power first, after that, she would try to meet Yao Ling in her subconscious mind. Aunt Yue knew that this would make the symbols on the front gate start to glow once again. She sighed when she realized that she forgot to warn the trio, however... it was already too late.
There was nothing they could do, she just hoped that one of them would notice the glow and covered it up.
While all of these happened, the man who had tried to hunt Yao Ling and used her to his heart content started to realize that something weird was happening inside the forbidden place. He knew that this must have something to do with Aunt Yue because he felt a trace of her power, even though it was only a subtle one.
Aunt Yue had already prepared a barrier beforehand but she knew that her movement would still be noticed by the man. She casually made a distraction that could only be perceived by that man --- she looked as if she was using her power to make a fortune reading about the Han Kingdom"s fortune. When she stayed in this forbidden place, she had only used her power for this purpose. She had long given up hope to find her successor... who knew that she would suddenly appear out of nowhere.
She could only do that much to deceive that hateful man. However, once the man saw the glowing symbols, this distraction wouldn"t work anymore.
Aunt Yue just hoped that it wouldn"t happen! The man was far too dangerous!
