Cataclysm King

Chapter 478: Watching the gambling fight in Honglou in memory

North City, Maple Leaf Hotel.

If Ji Xun hadn't led her, Qin Rushi felt that she probably wouldn't have come to such a place.

The guests of this kind of high-end hotel are either rich or noble. If they are people of unknown origin, they will easily be suspected.

The revolutionary army was very careful along the way after arriving in the southern continent. Even when they stayed in hotels, they mostly chose crowded and noisy adventurer hotels in the slums, which were safer and more affordable.

But now that someone is leading me, I don’t have to think too much.

After opening the magic lock, Ji Xun invited Qin Rushi to come in, "Come in."

The magic lamp lit up, illuminating everything in the room.

Qin Rushi was born into an aristocratic family and had seen the luxuries of the upper class.

But once he entered the house, he felt the concentration of elements that was several times richer than outside, and was stunned for a moment. He smiled and teased, "You are really good at choosing a place."

Speaking of cultivation environment, this hotel alone is no worse than the cultivation barriers that those great noble families in the Eastern Wilderness once spent huge amounts of money to build.

Ji Xun smiled and said, "Haha. It's rare that the Southern Continent has such a good environment for cultivation. If I want to live here for a long time, of course I'll choose a better one for myself."

He is a lonely man, and as long as he can feed his family, he is willing to spend money.

Qin Rushi chuckled and walked into the room with a smile.

With her keen senses, she detected the presence of two living creatures the moment she entered the room.

I thought it was a mouse, but the scent was pure and had a hint of fear.

Qin Rushi looked over and saw two little figures with transparent wings hiding in the closet in panic.

Noticing her strange expression, Ji Xun introduced her before she could speak: "These two are Korra and Nina. They are the elemental elves in the Monster Forest."

Qin Rushi's eyes lit up again when she heard this: Elemental elves?
Is it the kind of advanced race of creatures from the mythological era mentioned in ancient books and legends?

I actually saw living elemental elves?
Qin Rushi glanced at Ji Xun with surprise: You have this mythical creature? And you have two of them?
Ji Xun looked at her and knew that she must be very curious. After all, mythical creatures are rare. He explained with a slightly bitter smile: "They were caught by hunters before and sold many times. I saved them by chance. So they don't have a good impression of humans."

Qin Rushi also understood. No wonder the look in her eyes was full of vigilance.

As he spoke, Ji Xun introduced the two elves who were hiding behind the closet with only their small eyes peeking out, "These are my good friends."

Even after Ji Xun's introduction, the two elves behaved very cautiously. They only dared to watch secretly and did not want to come out to see people.

Ji Xun shrugged to express his helplessness, and Qin Rushi certainly didn't mind.

I might be reserved and polite in other places, but there is no need to be so here.

After Qin Rushi entered the room, he casually put down the big sword on his back, as if he was in his own residence.

Armor is a disguise, and it is also a must-wear for escort missions. After wearing it all the way, I already felt bored.

As she walked into the room, she was untying the cold steel arm guard and placed it on the table. There was a "clang" sound, which was obviously very heavy.

Although Qin Rushi was wearing women's light armor, it was quite troublesome to take it off.

He removed the arm guards, shoulder pads, mail, knight's gloves, thigh armor and greaves.

After unbuttoning them one by one, she breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to unbutton the chest armor with complicated buckles, Ji Xun walked behind her and took over naturally: "I'll help you."

Qin Rushi was also happy to take action and smiled: "Thank you."

"Click". The buckle of the breastplate was unfastened. Ji Xun placed the alchemical breastplate weighing dozens of kilograms on the table. Qin Rushi also tied up her messy hair.

She wore a taupe corset underneath her armor.

These tights made of wool and elastic fabric are unique to the southern continent and are especially loved by female adventurers.

The highly elastic material can keep the clothes intact during intense combat and perfectly outline the proud figure.

Without the cover of armor, Qin Rushi's plump and proud figure was clearly visible.

Ji Xun didn't try to avoid his gaze. He took a look and nodded in appreciation.

Qin Rushi saw it, but didn't care at all. She just smiled and said nothing.

"Some tea?"

"it is good."

Without anyone else in the room, the two of them felt more relaxed when they were together.

The room was filled with ancient documents and relics, which Ji Xun had collected in the past few days and had not yet had time to organize and store.

To the naked eye these ancient relics give the impression of a profound erudition that only ancient scholars could possess.

Qin Rushi was also interested in ancient civilization, so she took a look curiously. Seeing those ancient stone tablets and scrolls that were obviously very old, she also asked curiously: "Ji Xun, what era is this text from?"

Ji Xun responded casually: "The writing of the Alterac civilization at the end of the Chaos Era."

Previously, Xie Guozhong said that the death of Emperor Lanlingster was directly related to the Holy See of Light, and he also paid special attention to some ancient documents of that era.

Recently, the remnants of the Light have caused quite a stir, and more and more related relics have been produced in the ruins. Although the Holy See is also confiscating related items that have appeared on the market, Ji Xun's familiarity with the Adventurer's Market allowed him to obtain a part of them as well.

This is also the recent research.

As he spoke, he also mentioned a few words about the recent situation.

Qin Rushi was very surprised when he heard this and said, "Are you saying that the death of Emperor Lanlingster is related to the gods of this civilization?"

Ji Xun: "Yes. Almost all the recent disturbances in the southern continent are related to the 'Cult of Light'."

"I see."

Qin Rushi's vision was extraordinary. Ji Xun mentioned some key points and she guessed the general idea.

But that information had been blocked before, and ordinary people couldn't hear it at all.

Now, after hearing what Ji Xun said, she realized that the reason why the World of Warcraft Forest was so lively recently was not just because of the treasure hunt.

Thinking of this, Qin Rushi looked at Ji Xun again and asked, "Can you understand these words?"

“I studied it for a while.”

Ji Xun brewed the tea and poured the amber tea into the cup.

He knew that Qin Ru was also interested in ancient civilizations, so he casually said, "Although the Alterac civilization is an ancient civilization from more than 100,000 years ago, it is not much different from the current Arel Empire. It is a theocracy without technology, and the magic system has remained the same for countless years."

"."

Qin Rushi listened and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

To be able to summarize the characteristics of a civilization in just one sentence requires one to have done in-depth research on this ancient civilization.

Very powerful ah.

Qin Rushi had been shocked by many unexpected events tonight, and the strange look in her eyes disappeared without a trace. She continued to look at the relics with interest.

Touching these ancient objects gives people a sense of peace of mind.

The two chatted casually, talking about some things they had talked about in the pub before.

As we chatted, we returned to the topic of spiritual practice.

Ji Xun thought of the reason and asked, "By the way, Aunt Qin, will the secret method you mentioned be very troublesome?"

He had actually noticed before that whenever Qin Rushi talked about this topic, her expression was always a little strange, as if she was a little embarrassed.

This world does have the secret method of sacrificing oneself to improve others.

If that's the case, Ji Xun will have to consider whether it is necessary.

Qin Rushi knew what he was thinking and replied, "It's not a problem."

She had this plan a long time ago, and there was nothing to be shy about now. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said bluntly: "It just involves a little personal privacy."

"what?"

Ji Xun was stunned when he heard this.

Even though he was knowledgeable, he still couldn't figure out what the Bai family's secret practice method had to do with privacy?
Qin Rushi didn't seem to care at all: "But if it's your words, it doesn't matter. You know almost everything anyway."

"???"

Ji Xun was even more confused after hearing this.

I understood the words, but I didn't understand the meaning at all.

But he also heard the trust in Qin Rushi's words, which showed that she didn't treat him as an outsider. It seemed that there was really no negative impact on her, so he simply accepted it calmly.

Qin Rushi's expression remained calm: "You will know in a moment."

Ji Xun was afraid that she had misunderstood something, so he explained: "No, Aunt Qin, what I meant is, there's no rush. You take a rest first, and we can talk about this later."

He thought that since they had met, there would be plenty of time later.

Qin Rushi shook his head and said casually, "It's okay. The secret method can't be figured out in a day or two. It just so happens that you are at a bottleneck, so it's better to get over it as soon as possible."

Although Ji Xun still didn't understand, it was just as Qin Rushi said, there was no need to be polite between them.

Since she said yes, Ji Xun didn't hesitate any longer.

As they drank tea, Qin Rushi explained this secret technique: "This is the Bai family's secret technique for immortals [Imperial Technique]. Originally, transcendents were a shortcut to practicing with immortals. The essence is actually spiritual communication. Later, an elder of the Bai family discovered that the spirits of people can also be integrated to a certain extent, allowing others to understand the 'intention' they have perceived. Thus, this secret technique was created."

"."

Ji Xun roughly understood what was said.

Because in this field, it is more about one's own perception and understanding of the laws.

This involves a strong personal "will", which is something on the sensory level that is difficult to accurately express in any words or text.

Therefore, the Bai family's secret method is to let people feel the "intention" they want to express.

Talking about this, Ji Xun also asked curiously: "Why have I never heard of this secret method before?"

His current reading volume is already exaggerated. He may not have read all the secret methods of the fifty-two professional sequences, but at least he has heard about them.

But I have never heard of this secret method.

Qin Rushi explained: "Because this secret method has never been used by outsiders except within the Bai family. So almost no one outside knows about it."

Ji Xun was even more curious: "Ah, could it be the secret technique of bloodline?"

He thought of the inheritance method of the High Priest Nan family.

"No."

Qin Rushi shook her head and said softly, "It's just that I just said that this secret method will involve personal privacy. So it requires a person who trusts each other very much to use this secret method."

She also knew that the explanation was a bit empty, so she stopped here.

Glancing at Ji Xun, she asked, "Would you like to try it now?"

"Ah."

Ji Xun nodded, it was not a big deal.

"Okay then. Now start meditating according to the mantra I told you."

Qin Rushi didn't say anything more and just recited the mantra of the spiritual secret technique.

Ji Xun listened and closed his eyes to meditate, circulating his mental power according to the mantra.

His comprehension was extremely high, so it was not difficult for him to learn the secret technique.

Gradually, he found that his soul was leaving his body and he was being guided up into the air.

It was a wonderful feeling, as if in an instant, my thoughts followed the spell and went to another vast world.

At a certain moment, Qin Rushi's voice came from my ear: "You can open your eyes now."

Ji Xun opened his eyes and found himself in a world as empty as the starry sky.

The tea table was still there in the room, but it was surrounded by nothingness.

Qin Rushi sat lazily opposite him, drinking tea, glanced at him, and explained: "This is my spiritual world."

The spiritual world?

Ji Xun still didn't quite understand.

But a magical scene happened.

The thought "What is this place?" just popped into my mind.

The next second, the surrounding scenery changed.

Ji Xun found himself in a luxurious mansion.

The architectural style is the magical punk style of the Eastern Wilderness Federation, and the decorative details show that the owner seems to have a military background.

Ji Xun found himself by the window, looking out into the yard. A little girl, about six or seven years old, with a ponytail was swinging a long sword and stabbing a mannequin in the yard.

Even with her clothes soaked with sweat, she still enjoyed it. At her age when others liked dolls, this little girl had already achieved certain accomplishments in swordsmanship.

Although she is not very old, she is so smart that even Ji Xun can see that she is very talented.

Ji Xun felt that the little girl looked familiar, but before he could think about it, an old man with white hair and a vigorous appearance walked into the yard.

The girl put down her sword and ran over happily: "Grandpa, Grandpa."

The old man hugged the little girl who rushed over, lifted her up and spun her around, "Oh, our Qin family is going to have a female general in the future."

When Ji Xun saw this, he realized who this person was, the "Iron-Armed General" Qin Luo.

A legendary powerful man who once had a significant influence on the federal military.

At the same time, he is Qin Rushi’s grandfather!
He realized what was going on here. As Ji Xun was thinking, a beautiful figure appeared out of nowhere beside him.

Qin Rushi stood beside him, looking at her younger self, her eyes full of emotion, "This is my spiritual world. This is also where I have everything."

"."

In an instant, Ji Xun understood why she had said before that this secret method could only be used on people she trusted.

It is easy to leave something behind when you enter people’s spiritual world, or even tamper with certain cognitions.

This can be very dangerous if you don't trust the person absolutely.

Moreover, as Qin Rushi said, everything she has is here.
In other words, Ji Xun can see some memories, thoughts, and outlooks in her spiritual world.

No wonder she said it involved "personal privacy".

If you really want to open up everything in your heart to outsiders, it cannot be achieved with just ordinary trust.

Qin Rushi looked at Ji Xun's slightly surprised expression and smiled easily: "Why? Are you surprised?"

She did have some concerns before. After all, it is embarrassing to show such private matters to others.

But now that things have come to this, I don’t have so many messy thoughts anymore.

Ji Xun frowned slightly in self-mockery, then quickly smiled, "Thank you."

Qin Rushi knew what he was thanking her for and just smiled in response.

But just because he knew that this was the other person's spiritual world, Ji Xun was also curious about what Qin Rushi had experienced.

This is not an attempt to pry into other people's privacy, but an instinctive curiosity.

Once this thought came to mind uncontrollably, the surrounding scenery changed again.

Ji Xun watched the scene in front of him play out like a movie, scene by scene.

He watched the little girl grow up day by day in laughter, and her face gradually became more heroic.

Until one day, the picture suddenly became dark.

The luxurious mansion turned into a sea of ​​fire and the little girl cried hysterically.

Ji Xun heard Qin Rushi talk about this experience. At the beginning, his grandfather's power in the military was feared by the five major congressmen, and he was later framed for war crimes.

For the sake of his millions of subordinates and their families, the old man did not rise up in rebellion, but was persecuted to death.

Ji Xun saw a beautiful woman taking the nine-year-old girl on a neon train to a city full of steam spires and pipes.

Ji Xun had been there; it was the Bai family’s Thief City.

The woman begged desperately in front of a group of old guys whose appearance had become blurred, wanting them to save the Qin family and the little girl.

But all I got in return was indifference and numbness.

The woman left with the little girl in disappointment.

The Qin family was once one of the most powerful families in the Federation, but at this moment, no one helped, and no one could help.

Later they were caught and thrown into prison.

The little girl was saved because the Song family paid a large sum of money in bribes.

She witnessed with her own eyes that her grandfather, father, mother, and uncles were tried and then sent to the execution ground.

That day, the girl cried the last tear of her life.

Even when Ji Xun was watching that scene, he felt a deep sense of sadness.

It was as if I could empathize with you and my spiritual world resonated with you.

She saw the helplessness and despair of the little girl.

Later, the scene changed and she appeared in a camp in the wild.

In the campfire, the mysterious man in the cloak stroked her head and said, "From today on, you are a member of our revolutionary army."

The memories are so vivid that the fragments are incredibly clear.

From then on, her life was filled with nothing but training and fighting.

Later, the girl grew up through daily hard training and became stronger through war.

Every time there was a battle, that figure would pierce into the enemy's formation like a sharp knife and engage in a bloody battle.

The childishness between her brows also faded away, and she became full of heroism, domineering and arrogant. Later, she became the notorious female warrior in the Eastern Wilderness - Qin.

Just like watching a movie, Ji Xun saw the scenes in Qin Rushi’s memory.

But he was not just a bystander, it was as if he had walked into her memory and was able to change the scenes in those memories.

Fighting again and again and becoming stronger each time, Qin Ru finally, like a god, defeated the enemy in the "Battle of Fort Custer" where they were surrounded by enemies several times larger than the federal army.

As he watched, Ji Xun discovered that Qin Rushi suddenly appeared beside him again and said, "This is my domain - the gods have descended to earth."

At this moment, Ji Xun finally understood the effectiveness of this secret method.

He seemed to resonate with Qin Rushi's spirit, allowing him to clearly feel the strong belief in struggling to survive and to keep his companions alive in the desperate situation of being surrounded by heavy troops. Then that belief was like a flood, breaking through the original bottleneck of his realm in his thoughts and coming to a new world.

At that moment, it seemed as if Ji Xun felt that he had transformed into that golden-armored god, descending from the sky and killing people so that blood flowed like a river.

The resonance on the spiritual level allowed him to clearly perceive the "meaning" that Qin Rushi had mentioned many times but could not explain clearly.

"I see."

Ji Xun was immersed in that wonderful experience and suddenly realized something.

At this moment, he also understood why Qin Rushi had said before that this was a matter of privacy.

As she said, this is everything she has.

She opened up everything inside of her to herself.

Human thoughts are very interesting.

And Ji Xun’s thoughts are never single-minded.

The realm of his "Thousand Books of Puppet God" secret technique is now getting higher and higher. Being multitasking allows him to see other things while observing the realm of the gods descending to the earth.

This is Qin Rushi’s spiritual world, containing all her memories and insights.

Not only the domain, but also the "divine power" that Qin Rushi had comprehended, as well as the various martial arts she knew and the various abilities she had learned.
As long as Ji Xun is willing, that state of "spiritual resonance" will allow him to learn most of the knowledge that Qin Rushi has mastered.

No wonder she said before that this is not something that can be achieved overnight.

It may take a long time to digest the insights that I have accumulated over so many years.

Ji Xun's thoughts also drifted, those uncontrollable thoughts, whenever they came together, he could see the scenes he wanted to see.

All private scenes are clearly visible.

This is Qin Rushi's spiritual world, and she certainly knows what happened.

Looking at Ji Xun's thoughts spreading out like a big tree, she was also very surprised.

It turns out that this guy's spiritual world is so divergent?

The key is to be able to diverge and focus on every aspect of learning, which is extraordinary.

Qin Rushi knew that Ji Xun was special, so she looked at him without saying much.

Since she is willing to help him use this secret technique to comprehend the extraordinary realm, of course she doesn't mind him seeing everything about her.

But suddenly, the style of painting changed.

Ji Xun also saw himself in Qin Rushi's memory.

The first time we met was in Honglou.

Because I saved Dong Qi, I met Qin Rushi for the first time in Honglou.

The beautiful woman wearing a black cheongsam with her hair tied up high.

The figure is graceful, round and straight, with just the right amount of plumpness.

When Ji Xun saw this scene, it overlapped with the image in his mind.

Well, his first impression of Aunt Qin was that the high-slit cheongsam was super sexy.

In the spiritual world, you can see more than just the scene of your original meeting.

Moreover, because of the resonance, he can stand in Qin Rushi's perspective and look at his former self.

Ji Xun realized after seeing this that this person had already seen through his character when they first met.

After all, there was such a huge gap in their realms, and many of his disguises that he thought were profound were actually seen through by Qin Rushi at a glance.

Ji Xun was walking in Honglou, watching the scene of himself and Dong Qi running into Qin Rushi, and he found it interesting. He smiled and said, "So this is Aunt Qin's first impression of me? She seems pretty good?"

Qin Rushi beside him also smiled and said, "Yes. Of course I have to observe more about the people Qiqi brought back. But you really left a good impression on me. At least in the city of Innocence, you are already very eye-catching."

Once the topic was opened, the two looked at each other and smiled.

However, when thinking of cheongsam, Ji Xun suddenly had an idea.

The scene around him changed again, and a large gambling table appeared in the middle of the room.

At the gambling table, Dong Qi was dealing cards, while Qin Rushi and a handsome man in a white suit were having a fierce gambling fight.

This was exactly the scene when Catalina disguised herself and went to Honglou to cause trouble.

The scene was exactly where Qin Rushi lost two games and was forced to take off her clothes.

There was no panic on her face. She looked at Catalina and said with a smile, "Since this distinguished guest is in such a good mood, hiding it would make us look petty."

As she spoke, she reached out and unbuttoned the first button of her cheongsam on her left shoulder. Then, with a pull of her slender hands, the cheongsam was completely pulled down to her heels, leaving only her lace underwear.

Those slender legs and fair skin emit a charming glow under the light.

She took the initiative and asked, "Do you want to take it off again?"

Catalina on the other side responded aggressively, “Of course.”

Qin Rushi took off all her clothes without hesitation.

From beginning to end, there was a calm smile on that beautiful face.

Ji Xun had also experienced this scene, so of course he was familiar with it.

But when he saw it again, he still felt that it was the most beautiful picture he had ever seen.

This memory fragment lingered in his consciousness for a moment longer, and Qin Rushi also appeared beside him, "Why, are you interested in this memory scene?"

Ji Xun did not hide it: "Yes. I was impressed."

As he spoke, he looked at the naked but still calm 'Qin Rushi' and praised again: "At that time, I felt that Aunt Qin's temperament and figure were very amazing."

"hehe."

Qin Rushi smiled and didn't care.

After all, this is a fact that has happened before, and Ji Xun has seen his own figure, so there is nothing to be awkward about.

And I've seen it more than once.

What's more, in the world of spiritual power, the other party can see everything.

I have taken off my clothes countless times since I was a child, and he can see it as long as he wants to see it.

There's nothing to hide.

What's more, for a transcendent person like Qin Rushi, the cognition of the spiritual world is much more important than physical privacy.

It is precisely because of this mentality that she can calmly appreciate herself in her memory with Ji Xun.

Well, it’s really beautiful.

Thoughts are uncontrollable.

In reality, even though this kind of erotic scene is so eye-catching, Ji Xun would avoid looking at it out of courtesy after seeing it.

Just like Honglou in the past.

Although I have seen it, I dare not and will not appreciate it so blatantly.

But here, as long as the thought is still there, this picture will definitely come to mind.

Ji Xun spent a long time pondering these thoughts in the gambling den of Honglou.

The "Qin Rushi" in my memory seems to have been stripped of all its energies, and everything is clear to me.

Qin Rushi who was beside her also found it interesting.

Although she didn't mind, she felt a little weird being stared at and watched over and over again, so she smiled and joked, "Constrain yourself?"

Ji Xun did feel a little embarrassed that his charming thoughts were caught by others and reflected in his spiritual world. He shrugged helplessly: "This is not something I can control."

At the same time, he also felt that people who can help people face the spiritual world directly are really strong inside.

Very, very powerful.

Qin Rushi looked at the embarrassment on his face, her beautiful eyes turned cleverly, she pursed her lips lightly, and her graceful eyes were filled with smiles.

She smiled.

Smiling happily.
