Origin System, I have a barren mountain

Cheng Yunmo looked at the clay figures, and was actually quite surprised. The two clay figures turned into mud and fell to the ground right in front of everyone.

Upon seeing this, everyone stepped back.

Even so, the clay figure still flew everywhere, like drifting catkins.

"what!"

"That's disgusting! It tastes like something!"

Lord Liu looked at Lord Liu with disbelief, as if he had suffered a huge blow and couldn't understand it at all.

"Why is this happening? It's clearly a person, I see a person."

Lord Liu said angrily.

At this moment, Lord Liu stared at Cheng Yunmo, as if he had guessed something.

"It must be you! You must have done something to make it like this! How could you do this to a living, breathing person!"

Cheng Yunmo glanced at Lord Liu, recalling how Lord Liu had praised him when they first met, saying that he was a man who was exceptionally good to his wife in chaotic times, and that he would die for her.

However, Lady Liu did not survive, which became a thorn in Lord Liu's side.

“I didn’t use any tricks, Lord Liu. This is your own choice. Don’t drag Lord Liu into it with you.”

Cheng Yunmo glanced at Lord Liu. What had just happened had indeed frightened Lord Liu quite a bit. He cherished Madam Liu herself, not just anyone. But once everyone started talking about him and his wife, how could he explain the existence of the woman in front of him?

"Guards, take Lord Liu away."

Cheng Yunmo spoke.

Lord Liu was surprised that the person who rarely consulted his subordinates could do something so appropriate so easily, making him wonder if it was Cheng Yunmo's own idea.

The person who came was the one sent by the Emperor to Lord Liu.

Cheng Yunmo was still a little nervous. It wasn't that this person was unwilling to listen, but she felt that she didn't have the right to do so.

Lady Liu was taken away because of her status as the Imperial Preceptor's female disciple, and no one dared to say anything.

After all, the position of Imperial Advisor represents a special status.

If it were Lord Liu, I could ask him.

"Go down."

Cheng Yunmo looked at everyone and said.

After everyone left, only Cheng Yunmo and Lord Liu remained.

At this moment, Cheng Yunmo squatted down and stared carefully at the soil, discovering that the soil seemed to be made of a very special type of soil.

Lord Liu walked over and seemed to see something, something shiny.

"what is this?"

Cheng Yunmo turned around and saw that Lord Liu was holding up a small piece of paper in his left hand. It wasn't exactly a piece of paper, but it looked like it was made of some kind of special paper.

She took it in her hand and looked at it carefully, and was surprised to see modern characters.

"modern?"

Cheng Yunmo blurted out.

"what?"

Lord Liu asked in surprise.

"It's from another era. I never knew such a thing existed. The words on it say to buy from a special clay maker, probably someone who specializes in making clay figurines. The label hasn't been removed."

Lord Liu seemed to understand but not quite, because in his time there were many times when wind and rain could blow, so it wouldn't be surprising if it came from another era.

"You bought it? Was it very cheap?"

Lord Liu had to ask, if it's very cheap, then needless to say, who knows how long it will be before everyone around him has clay figurines.

"probably not."

Cheng Yunmo thought for a moment, then said, "In my world, I've never heard of anything about soil turning into people."

Lord Liu thought of someone and couldn't help but say with suspicion, "I don't know what kind of world Lord Cheng is talking about, but there is one thing I do know. I heard that there was once a very skilled sculptor by the side of the Emperor Emeritus. It is said that he could carve any kind of wood to life."

Just as Cheng Yunmo was wondering how similar it could be, Lord Liu said, "Lord Cheng is trustworthy; it's just a rumor from the Emperor."

"Rumors about the Emperor? I've never heard of them."

Cheng Yunmo thought that no one would spread such a rumor about the Emperor.

Lord Liu originally didn't want to bring up this matter, but after witnessing Lord Cheng's abilities, he suddenly felt that someone like Lord Cheng might be able to obtain some information from that person.

"Lord Cheng, could you come with me to see the Emperor after we've finished this business, and have the Emperor take you to see someone?"

Lord Liu asked.

"it is good."

When the group finally arrived in Xicheng Kingdom, weary from their journey, the scene they witnessed was utterly perplexing.

When they looked in that direction, the opposite side was filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, and people were coming and going in an endless stream.

To put it simply, there doesn't seem to be any problem at all.

But when these comings and goings became theirs, it felt like they had gone to Xicheng Kingdom but not really.

Lord Liu initially thought it was his imagination, but then he realized something. He touched some places and felt something that looked like glass blocking their way.

What's chilling is that there was no such thing as the Western Cheng Kingdom.

"They're all reflections in a mirror; the people aren't real, there's not even a place. The people of Xicheng Kingdom, the prime minister, the prime minister's son, and their emperor—is all of this fake?"

Cheng Yunmo asked incredulously.

Lord Liu initially shared the same idea as Cheng Yunmo, but as the Emperor sent two people who had come along, their expressions became somewhat strange, prompting Lord Liu to look at them.

"What have you two figured out?"

Lord Liu asked curiously.

“This is so strange. I feel like the mirror is reflecting us, and then you look over there.”

One of the men couldn't help but point to one of the men who came out and said something.

Actually, at first glance, you can't see any problems at all.

"Have you noticed that his upper and lower body clothing are clearly different? His upper body is dressed like that of a poor person, while his lower body is dressed like that of a wealthy person."

The two of them often accompanied the emperor and had almost all come from fighting and killing. They had an extraordinary intuition for danger, and that's how they discovered this unusual phenomenon.

Cheng Yunmo looked in that direction and, sure enough, it was true.

"It's hard to tell if the people of Xicheng are genuine or not. Why are these broken mirrors in our territory, and why can't crops grow on them?"

As Lord Liu spoke, he gradually realized a problem.

"No, it seems that the Western Kingdom is using us."

Lord Liu guessed at this terrible possibility, and an uncontrollable fear filled his heart.

"If, I mean if a mirror could suddenly make a person from the Western Kingdom appear out of thin air, then what about the land? If the land in the mirror were to grow, how would the crops on it grow?"
