Chapter 182

The morning light gently caressed the quiet Linjiang Village, quietly opening the curtain for a new day.

At the entrance of the village, the children's crisp laughter was like wind chimes in the morning light, melodious and cheerful, heralding the beginning of a vibrant life.

In the small park, a group of energetic villagers had gathered in the morning light, running or jumping, immersed in the fun of morning exercise.

Due to the lack of sports facilities in the village, even the toy area where children usually play has become a place where villagers enjoy themselves.

They climbed or swung, with simple and unadorned smiles on their faces, without the slightest shyness or restraint.

On one of the facilities, Ji Ye was exercising.

The old man had been exercising all night, and his posture was agile and he didn't show any signs of fatigue, as if the whole night's exercise was just an ordinary routine for him.

Looking at his face, which was reflected by the morning light as if covered with a thin layer of red clouds, you can know how much his cultivation level has risen after this sleepless night.

The old look of the past seemed to be quietly wiped away by the practice of the night, and even the half-gray hair was miraculously dyed with a bit of black, rejuvenated.

At this moment, Ji Ye was undoubtedly very happy.

He simply set up a simple but warm tent in a corner of the small park, and even built a small stove, which was quite like "occupying the mountain as the king".

On the stove, curls of white smoke rose slowly, interweaving with the morning light to form a peaceful picture.

And the two pots, a sharp eye can see, are "antiques" that have not been used for a long time in the old uncle's house, but now they have become small props for Ji Ye to enjoy life after practicing.

After all, other villagers send food to the old uncle every day, so this pot was given to Ji Ye.

When Ji Ye arrived, he was not treated gently by the villagers at first. At dawn, when the villagers walked out of their homes in the dew and suddenly saw this uninvited guest, they were surprised and couldn't help but want to drive him away.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the figure of the old uncle appeared in time to help Ji Ye, and also let this sudden episode end harmoniously.

With the arrival of Ji Ye, the figures of the old chicken head and the old uncle often appeared under the pavilion in the park.

At the beginning of the morning light, a figure quietly emerged on the ancient official road of Linjiang Village, like a faint shadow in the morning light.

It was a woman with a light veil, a flawless white dress fluttering in the wind, and a clear and dust-free air surrounded her body.

Her eyes were clear and distant. Through the veil, she quietly gazed at the quiet Linjiang Village in front of her, as if she could see through the secrets of all things in the world.

She slowly raised her right hand, and on her palm, tiny dots of light gathered quietly like morning mist, flashing a hazy and mysterious light.

The woman lowered her head, her eyes gently brushed over those dots of light, and a faint arc appeared at the corner of her mouth, as if confirming something.

"Sure enough, there are traces of her here..."

Her voice was cold and melodious, like a clear spring in the mountains, without a trace of impurities, gently echoing in the quiet morning air.

After speaking, she took light steps, walked along the winding official road, and slowly walked into the depths of Linjiang Village. Every step seemed to tell an unknown story, quietly integrating this coldness and search into this ancient and quiet land.

However, in a moment, the woman's figure had quietly stood at the entrance of Linjiang Village, like a breeze blowing through a quiet pastoral painting.

At the entrance of the village, the morning light gently fell, adding a touch of tranquility and peace to this quaint place.

At this moment, the school was filled with the sound of reading, and the students were immersed in the ocean of knowledge; while the young and middle-aged men and women in the village were also busy, either farming or weaving, and their lives were in order.

Only in the small park, several elderly people, such as the old uncle, were still enjoying their leisure time in the morning.

The sudden appearance of the woman was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

At this moment, the old uncle and Ji Ye also put down the black and white chess pieces in their hands involuntarily, stood up slowly, and looked at the mysterious woman together with a bit of solemnity in their eyes.

Not only the old uncle and Ji Ye, but also other elderly people and children who were exercising or playing around, also stopped their actions involuntarily, and their eyes gathered on her at the same time, as if the air of the entire small park was frozen.

The mysterious woman seemed to be able to see through all the subtleties in the world, and she immediately caught the inquiring eyes of the old uncle and his group.

Her eyes, as cold as a cold pond, turned slightly and fell on the old uncle and the chicken who was traveling with her, with a subtle scrutiny.

"Shua..."

There seemed to be a subtle fluctuation in the air. The old uncle and the chicken slowly moved forward with an almost silent pace, as if time had slowed down for them at this moment.

But in a flash, they were standing not far from the woman, close enough to feel the subtle changes in each other's breathing.

The old uncle held a cane engraved with traces of time, and his eyes, which had seen the vicissitudes of life, were looking directly at the mysterious woman without any hesitation, with a tone of caution and curiosity:

"Excuse me, girl, who are you? Why did you set foot in our remote village?"

During the conversation, the old uncle's voice was steady and powerful, and every word seemed to rise slowly from the bottom of his heart and fall steadily to the ground, revealing his deep feelings for this land and his cautious attitude towards outsiders.

"Where is she..."

The mysterious woman ignored the old uncle's question and instead murmured softly to herself. Her voice seemed to come from the underworld, with a hint of chill in it.

This sudden question made everyone present stunned, especially the old uncle and the people around him, whose faces were full of suspicion.

The mysterious woman raised her head slightly, scanned everyone with her eyes, and said again: "Where is the woman who looks exactly like me?"

This sentence exploded in the crowd like thunder. People looked at each other and didn't know how to answer for a while.

As soon as she finished speaking, the mysterious woman slowly stretched out her hand and gently pinched a corner of the veil on her face. Her movements were elegant and slow, as if she was uncovering a long-lasting secret.

As the veil was lifted bit by bit, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

"hiss……"

When the last veil fell, revealing that face, there was a gasp from the crowd.

"You are Yu Shang!"

Some people couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Here comes another one..."

The other man's voice was filled with disbelief.

"How come there are so many women who look like Yu Shang..."

All kinds of exclamations and doubts came and went, and the whole scene fell into chaos.

At this moment, the other villagers who had just arrived behind the old uncle were also shocked by what they saw.

They stared at the mysterious woman with their eyes wide open, their mouths opened wide, but they could not utter a complete sentence. After a while, everyone came back to their senses as if awakening from a dream, and began to whisper among themselves.

Listening to the whispers and whispers of the people around her, the mysterious woman's eyes suddenly condensed slightly, as if a cold light flashed through her eyes.

However, what is surprising is that although she may have stirred up waves in her heart, her beautiful face still maintains an unchanging expression, like a calm lake, making it difficult for people to glimpse her true emotions. fluctuation.

However, if you observe carefully, you can find a trace of joy hidden deep in her eyes quietly surging. It turned out that these people's discussions let her know a piece of news that made her secretly happy - there were actually many women who looked exactly like her here!

This also means that in addition to herself, there are several clones that are exactly like her that have appeared in this place.

Thinking of this, the mysterious woman couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity and expectation: Who are they? And why does it appear here?

If she really had the ability to absorb and fuse all these clones, it would have an extremely astonishing impact.

First of all, her own cultivation level will definitely be greatly improved, and the bottleneck that was originally difficult to break through may be easily solved.

As her cultivation improves, the powers and skills she masters will become more powerful and diversified, giving her more coping methods and chances of winning when facing various powerful enemies.

More importantly, when she successfully absorbed all the clones, she was no longer restricted by the subject's restrictions on her freedom.

From then on, she can decide her own direction of action, cultivation path, and lifestyle as she pleases, truly realizing her goal of controlling her own destiny.
