"I was thinking, do you really not know? You are too calm." I said: "The danger along the way, did not let you slightly color, until here, everyone was stopped, Mr. Xu Wan suffered a series of defeats and obviously will affect the mood, then inevitably the Jade Fetus School will not leak out any flaw, if Mr. Feng also misses a trick, in case of all people in the tomb land are dead and we all fail to pass through it again two old men from Dao School will die and you can still sit and watch?”
My words not only attracted their attention, preventing them from looking behind, but also reignited the conflict once more!
Water, to be muddied, is just the right time now!
Doubt always begins to sprout from a seed.
"I don't know this place, I have never been here. If there is deceit, heaven will forsake it." Ding Rupu raised his hand, his two fingers together pointing to the sky.
Subsequently, a complex color appeared on her face, and she sighed softly: "You still don't believe in me, but indeed, at that time, I had a very good relationship with Qin Weizi. If he had no impure thoughts or excessive worries, perhaps, he would be my disciple, and you would be my great grand disciple."
Tao Mingyi looked at me before saying, "Luo Xian Shen, you offered this information to me and us out of regret, and also to Ding family. But now you are starting to doubt again. You have such a strong case of suspicion that it makes me question your will to cultivate the Dao. I have talked with Wu Ling in your sect, and he said you might be the next successor to the true master. With such a vast Taoist school as Siguishan, how can you take over if your will is not stable? I think I should go remind He Youtian, your current true master."
I remained silent again.
After making sure they all focused on me, I shifted my gaze away from Ding Rupu and glanced nervously at the back.
What I saw before me made my head buzz and sent a shiver down my spine!
The people at the back did not hide their figures, instead, they walked forward and stopped at the edge of the deep abyss.
It was never Wu Jinluan!
He was dressed in a bulky and heavy outfit, holding a prayer wheel in one hand, his skin dark, and from a distance, his expression and demeanor were not visible.
It's a......
Lama?
Lama from the Black City Temple?
No longer a glace, I stared at him intently.
"Luo Xian Shen?" Fei Fang noticed my abnormality and cast his gaze in the direction I was looking.
"What are you looking at?" he asked suddenly.
For a moment, there was a hint of confusion in my eyes, because the position where the Lama stood was empty once again, and not even a shadow could be seen.
He disappeared in a way that was too bizarre and terrifying.
"Is there anyone back there?" Liang Jieshi looked in the same direction.
This attracted the attention of all the gentlemen.
However, they all came up empty-handed and looked suspiciously at me before looking towards the forest again.
"There's someone, someone very dangerous." My voice was extremely hoarse, brimming with malice.
"The rear will not come, I haven't seen it, and neither have you." Sun Daozhang, Sun Miao, spoke calmly: "Luo Daozhang, don't let the environment here disturb your mind and cause the growth of demons. You can be at ease. Master's strength is comparable to that of a true master. It's not that dangerous here, and we will get through it."
Demonic mind?
The unusual environment causing the growth of demonic minds?
At first glance, Sun Miao's words seemed quite reasonable.
The sudden appearance of the Lama from the Black City Temple itself does not conform to logic.
However, I have been wearing a female Jade Orb for a long time, and would it really be so easy for demonic minds to grow again?
My eyes didn't wander; I kept watching the back, but really couldn't see the Lama's figure anymore...
The people from the Tomb of Corpses and the Liang family looked a bit unnatural, and the gentlemen mostly showed disregard for me, as if there was a feeling that my mental state didn't match my strength.
Taking a deep breath, I exhaled heavily and didn't continue to look back.
At this moment, Xu Wan came out for the third time. The blood vessels in his eyes were even more prominent, as if there was blood overflowing from the bottom of his eyes.
He walked to Tao Mingyi and Feng Huaigu before, giving a glance at Ding Rupu, and muttered in a hoarse voice: "I have fulfilled my mission, and found some patterns."
Afterwards, he crouched on the ground and used a thin copper piece to scratch the ground. The outermost was a shape of the Eight Trigrams, and inside that was a dense pattern of horizontal bars, which made it hard to understand.
Some of the gentlemen moved in to look, just as if they were gazing at sacred texts.
"First step, the position of the Eight Trigrams is Seng, and there is a gap where a person can stop afterwards. It is obvious that you can see the second segment of the position of the Eight Trigrams, which is a new Sixty-four Yin and Yang again, then enter Feng Tian Xia Xu. I tried to create life, let one person try to die for this path, tried to kill, let one more person try to die for this path. It is impossible for anyone to find out the correct path here with simple people trying it out. Each layer contains Sixty-four Yin and Yang patterns, equivalent to needing Sixty-four people to survive just one." Xu Wan said these words while sweat formed on his forehead.
"If Feng Tian Xia Xu is the second, then people shouldn't have to die, right? Shouldn't the third one no longer be in the Seng Palace?" Tao Mingyi asked.
"Hmm, the same palace, two steps. If my assumption is correct, there should be sixteen layers here, matching the Eight Palaces Sixty-four." Xu Wan paused for a moment and his eyes grew deeper: "Tao Mingyi, three chances, sixty-four directions. How would you choose? If you can't choose any of them, maybe you can use your disciple to explore the path."
Tao Mingyi waved his sleeve and said, "Then let's first reach the third layer, and then we can discuss it properly."
Xu Wang didn't say much and indicated for us to follow him.
Everyone followed the order and entered the forest, walking in the direction indicated by Xu Wang, and indeed, what lay before us was very different from what I had seen earlier.
The ground was surrounded by a ring of stone paths, made up of different small stone pieces, with each piece being a perfect square and forming an image of a hexagram.
Each step on the stone path with the image of Xu Wang pointing to it allowed everyone to pass through the ring of stone paths and into a circular open area.
All the trees were not random; they were all located in the open area, not taking up space on the ring-shaped stone path.
Everyone was trembling with fear, including the gentlemen, who looked as if they were filled with dread.
Because there were two dead people standing on different positions in the first layer of the ring.
It was simple enough for the bodies to be there, but the way they died was far from simple. It was as if a tree had punctured their bodies, and its branches grew through their skin and flesh, emerging from their eyes, nose, mouth, and the top of their heads.
It's heartbreaking to see them rooted in the road, yet they haven't been there for long.
The second circle of stone paths was much more tranquil, without any dead bodies. We followed Xu Wang's instructions and walked through the second circle, entering the open area between the third circle and the third circle. We could see one of the stone bars on the third circle where the previous third person stood, also pierced by a tree with branches slowly extending and growing.
There were no people hanging on the taller trees, only clumps of mist swirling and shimmering around.
Too bizarre...
Completely refreshing my cognition.
Fearful beyond imagination for those who are not used to it.
The killing of geomancy is even more terrifying.
