I swept the Phoenix with the Onmyoji Shikigami

Chapter 174 Tracking Xingyun’s Sleepwalking Journey

"Look at this luster, it's warm and restrained, but it contains powerful energy fluctuations. I guess this is not an ordinary jade. It may hide some special abilities or secrets."

Upon hearing this, the little fur ball Jinqiu also came forward and used his keen intuition to feel the scent emitted by the jade.

"Ow~"

It called again, this time it seemed more urgent, as if urging Xinghan to continue exploring.

Xinghan nodded, "You are right, Jinqiu. Since I have the chance to obtain this jade, I cannot let it remain unknown. I have to find a way to unlock its secrets and see what it can bring us."

Having said that, Xinghan put it in his bag and took it on the road.

Then they continued to climb up the rugged mountains.

In the mountains and forests, the chirping of birds and insects interweave into a beautiful song of nature;

On the rocks, moss and wild flowers bloom, showing the tenacity and beauty of life.

Xinghan and the little fur ball Jinqiu carefully shuttled through the dense forest, collecting various precious herbs and rare medicinal insects.

Every time they found a new plant or insect, they were as excited as if they had discovered a treasure.

Xinghan and Xiaomaoqiu continued to climb up the mountain until they reached the top.

There, they collected dozens of precious herbs and exotic medicinal insects.

However, the good times did not last long. The little ball suddenly started yelling that it missed Xiaobai and mentioned all the interesting things in the Onmyoji courtyard system.

Seeing this, Xinghan smiled and patted the little fur ball's head, telling it that he would take it to see Xiaobai after completing this mission. The little fur ball then reluctantly calmed down, but his eyes still couldn't hide his longing for his little friend.

So, after a brief farewell, Xinghan and Xiaomaoqiu each set off on their journey home.

The sun gradually set, and the sky was dyed with gorgeous sunset glow. Shen Li, Xing Yun and Xing Han met at the predetermined foot of the mountain, and everyone's face was filled with the joy of harvest.

Xinghan showed the stones in his hand. In addition to the dazzling star stone, there was also a stone with a strange shape and colorful colors, which caused Shen Li and Xingyun to speculate about its origin and purpose.

Although no one knew its exact identity, Xinghan decided to collect it because he felt inexplicably comfortable when holding it.

As night fell, the stars dotted the deep night sky, and the three of them began to get busy. Using the star stones and moonlight grass they collected during the day, they set up the star protection array step by step according to the carefully designed layout.

With the infusion of spiritual energy and the guidance of star power, the entire formation gradually emitted a soft and powerful light, enveloping the courtyard in peace and tranquility.

As night falls, everything is silent.

Xinghan sat alone in front of the window, the moonlight sprinkled gently on his shoulders like a veil, but it seemed unable to dispel the worry between his brows.

Outside the window, the stars are twinkling like the complicated thoughts in his mind, difficult to count and even more difficult to sort out.

Recently, Xingyun's condition continued to worsen, and he began to go out frequently at night. The atmosphere in the courtyard began to change quietly.

Shen Li, the Bi Cang King who lives in Xingyun Courtyard, is not only a famous war god in the spirit world, but also well-known for her bravery and tenacity. However, deep in the heart of this heroine, there are also delicate emotions and unknown loneliness.

On this day, night fell again, and Xinghan's heart was heavier than usual. He gently opened the door, and his eyes involuntarily fell on Xingyun who was resting with his eyes closed.

The moonlight shone through the window, casting a mottled shadow on his face, casting an unusual paleness.

Xinghan's heart tightened. He noticed that Xingyun's occasional low coughs were mixed with traces of blood, which made him very worried.

"Xingyun, how do you feel?" Xinghan asked softly, his tone full of concern.

Xingyun slowly opened his eyes, forced a smile, and shook his head to indicate that he was fine, but the fatigue that he could not conceal deeply hurt Xinghan's heart.

On the other side, Shen Li was waving a sword in the yard. Every time he swung the Sky-Bearing Slash, it was accompanied by a sharp sound of wind. His swordsmanship was more exquisite than before.

However, when night fell, she put away her sword and sat alone on the stone steps, her eyes piercing through the darkness, as if looking at the unreachable spirit world. She had a faint smile on her face, but behind that smile was a deep homesickness.

Xinghan saw it and felt pain in his heart.

He understood that behind Shen Li's strength, there was also an unknown fragility. He secretly decided to find a way to cure Xingyun's illness, and at the same time, let Shen Li recover her spiritual power as soon as possible and return to the spiritual world. At the same time, he also found a way to help Shen Li deal with the pressure brought by the engagement.

Fu Rongjun is a good person, but Shen Li is not interested in marriage now.

It was late at night and everything was quiet. Thinking about these trivial matters made Xinghan Yeshen not fall asleep yet.

The stars dot the deep sky, casting a mysterious veil over the quiet night.

Xinghan got up lightly, his heart full of worry about Xingyun's condition. He put on his coat and decided to embark on the familiar yet unknown road of exploration again - tracking Xingyun's sleepwalking journey.

Xinghan walked under the moonlight like a knight walking at night, feeling both nervous about the unknown and deeply concerned about his friends.

"Xingyun, Xingyun, what kind of secret are you hiding?" He whispered to himself, his voice echoing in the empty night with a hint of imperceptible worry.

Walking through the silent corridor and bypassing the room where Shen Li was sleeping, Xinghan tried not to make any noise so as not to disturb this rare peace.

Although his steps were light, each step was full of determination and care, which reflected his deep concern for his friends and his unremitting pursuit of the truth.

As he gradually moved away from the brightly lit residence, he was surrounded by thick night, with only the occasional chirping of insects in the distance and the rustling of leaves nearby breaking the silence of the night.

Xinghan's eyes were fixed on the front, which was the direction Xingyun often went to when he sleepwalked - the open space on the back hill of the courtyard.

As the distance got closer, Xinghan discovered that Xingyun's sleepwalking symptoms seemed to be more serious than before.

His steps were staggering, and every step seemed like he was carrying a heavy burden, which made him look extremely heavy and weak. Xinghan's heart tightened, and he quickened his pace, following behind Xingyun silently, fearing that he might make a mistake.

Finally, they arrived at the empty open space behind the mountain.

The moonlight poured down like water, stretching out the lonely figure of Xingyun. In this world shrouded in silver light, Xingyun seemed to blend into the surrounding scenery, forming a breathtaking picture. He was concentrating on arranging the complex formation, and every gesture and every step revealed an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Xinghan stood quietly by, with surprise and confusion in his eyes.

He had never seen such a complex and powerful formation, and he could not understand why Xingyun was so obsessed with it.

But as the formation gradually took shape, powerful energies began to flow through it, as if they could communicate between heaven and earth and awaken the sleeping ancient gods.

"Could this be..." Xinghan couldn't help but be shocked.
