"Not being pedantic, but being discerning. This place is quite odd, and I have sensed some unusual things."
"Someone is watching us."
Lao Gong's words were shocking!
"One has been shot dead, you guys be more careful. Remember to always leave a path for others to follow, and then it will be easier to meet again in the future." Lao Gong added.
Wu Jinluan and the others have all shown intense vigilance on their faces without exception.
Liu Taixuan smiled but said nothing.
"No one will be watching us, unless the other party is not human. That's because there are already corpses here." Liang Yulan opened his mouth: "Isn't that what Mr. Wu mentioned earlier?"
"He's powerful, or am I? Miss Liang of the family, I have to say something to you. I've seen three-souled slaves and also a woman serving two husbands. But in those cases, there's really no emotion involved. People, when they lose their conscience, their hearts become dirty. Once the heart becomes dirty, the eyes become blurred, and the brain goes haywire. How do you know that little Mr. Wu hasn't made a mistake? Little Mr. Wu wouldn't dare to say anything like that."
Lao Gong's words were particularly ambiguous and insinuating.
"Me...," Liang Yulan's eyes suddenly reddened.
She's not stupid; she understands Lao Gong's meaning perfectly.
"There are things, and you can't call Lao Gong. I'm afraid you'll get stabbed," Lao Gong said with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. "Don't go back and find Qiao Yingxiao later. She won't even look at you."
Before, I didn't say much because Lao Gong didn't say much either. It was because of a single point that we needed to maintain sufficient balance.
Now, balance is maintained by a subtle emotion. Even if Lao Gong says something, Liu Taixuan will not get angry. Even in front of the corpse, they will not get angry either, but will only choose a way that is more beneficial to Tiesha Mountain.
"I…I haven't done anything…Lao Gong, you can't…" Liang Yulan was on the verge of tears, feeling wronged.
"The Xuan Chi Jin Xiang, Xiao Yu is a girl, please have some mercy. She has no problems with Chang Xin, it's all Chang Xin's own issue. Moreover, what we need to focus on now more than anything else is to find the Yu Hua Corpse and retrieve the Corpse Jade." Zhang Zhiyi spoke up, defending Liang Yu.
"Yes, yes, first of all, she is a woman, and you, big brother, are really great. You took away the flowers on her door and gave her a flower wreath that she can wear. We know the situation is complicated, but you can still flirt with her."
When Lao Gong opened his mouth, it caused quite a stir.
Even though the journey had been quite smooth for Zhang Zhiyi's group, they were somewhat shaken by what Lao Gong said.
"And don't say you're very simple and just see her as a sister, no one will believe that."
"Liang Yu, get a grip, come over to my side, and there's still hope for you."
Lao Gong's words came out like beans, spoken too quickly.
Liu Taixuan's face turned rigid.
However, he did not interfere with his subordinates to clean up the pills. Soon, the table was empty, leaving only the empty vials.
Zhang Zhiyi didn't respond, he remained silent.
Liang Yu didn't come to my side; her eyes were brimming with tears.
"I will find Chang Xin to explain it. I'm not as bad as you think, and don't let me cause you to waste time on other matters." She spoke with a choked voice.
"Fine then, I hope you really have self-awareness." Lao Gong glanced aside, exchanging a look with Liu Taixuan. Since the situation had reached this point, he didn't speak up either.
"I don't think there are any living people here, Mr. Wu, you should speak up. Search this place thoroughly." Liu Taixuan looked at Wu Jinqian.
"As usual, each of you check one room. If we find two passages, we'll decide later." Wu Jinluan spoke in a low voice.
At Liu Taixuan's order, two exorcist monks were sent to search the second floor of this room and the next door.
This time, the second floor was just a regular room with a bed, bedding, and a wardrobe, with nothing else. The next door led to several tables, a pen holder, ink brushes, and some weathered and curled papers.
The door became a passage.
We no longer have a choice. We can only follow the door inside.
Sometimes, after passing through a door, there is a narrow passage that leads to another room.
This is normal, if the entire mountain is a horizontal gap from three to seven meters high, the mountain will collapse.
After walking through many rooms, this place is just as winding and twisting as any other, with the only advantage being its size and brightness, superior to that of Juqu Mountain.
But, it is just empty.
"So strange..." Wu Jinluan's face wasn't looking too good.
"A one-way street is convenient, Mr. Wu, what's strange?" Liu Taixuan was in a relaxed mood, still immersed in the gains from earlier and had not fully recovered.
"Yes, as long as there are no other passages, we can go all the way to the end," Wu Jinluan said just as he finished his sentence.
The out-of-body monk who led the way at the front suddenly changed his expression when he pushed open a door.
"How can this be?" He appeared extremely surprised.
"Don't be so dramatic. Just let Mr. Wu take a look at what's happening," Liu Taixuan looked up and spoke in a low, reprimanding tone.
The out-of-body monk remained silent, but his face looked unpleasant.
He walked through the doorway first.
We followed after, and even I couldn't help but be startled.
The sight before my eyes was a seven-meter-high space.
On one side, there was an open door with moonlight shining through it.
On the other side, it was the three-meter-wide door that had been previously pierced by a gray-leveled spirit.
Chen Xuan's corpse lay quietly on the ground, and a faint smell of feces and urine permeated the air, making it very unpleasant.
"What's going on here?" Liu Taixuan's expression changed, becoming extremely gloomy.
The out-of-body monks had all gathered to exchange glances, looking very confused.
"But it's not right... We've been walking along the same path, and there's only one path... There can't be any branch paths..."
"Is it a haunted wall?"
"The haunted wall confuses people, not cultivators. The cultivators don't react..."
The crowd chatted back and forth.
My gaze first fell on Wu Jinluan, who did not look at me and directly walked towards Chen Xuan.
Other Yin-Yang cultivators hurriedly followed after him.
I glanced at Lao Gong, who had his eyes rolling around, lost in thought.
But at this moment, something strange happened.
Wu Jinluan had not yet completely approached Chen Zuan.
Chen Zuan's corpse suddenly stood upright from the ground, pointing to the door we entered with a strange hand movement.
"Chen Zuan?" Wu Jinluan's voice shook, and he suddenly stopped.
"Do you want us to leave?" His voice sounded dry.
"Misleading the public!" Liu Taixuan coldly shouted: "The one hiding in the shadows, give me a break! Don't try to confuse me!"
Lao Gong looked at Liu Taixuan coldly, his lips slightly curling.
Liu Taixuan took a few more steps forward, directly heading towards Chen Zuan's corpse, and said solemnly, "The corpse has been tampered with, and so have we. Mr. Wu, don't be deceived. Lao Gong was right; there must be someone here! There's something wrong with the path we've taken!"
In the next moment, Liu Taixuan stopped in front of Chen Zuan's corpse. He muttered incoherently, and reached out with one hand to grab the center of Chen Zuan's eyebrow!
Although the Daoist Arts vary greatly, I can still discern that Liu Taixuan is attempting to extract the soul!
Just at that moment, Chen Zuan's mouth snapped open abruptly, emitting a hiss as two black, glossy beads shot towards Liu Taixuan's mouth!
From this angle, it's clear that he wants to feed Liu Taixuan some medicine!
