Due to her parents' unexpected passing, Gu Xinyan resolutely quit her job in the big city to take care of her blind grandmother and her little brother. She returned to her hometown and inherite...
Chapter 181 Explosive News
As they talked, time flew by and night fell.
We had a big stew for lunch, and we weren't really hungry yet, so after enjoying the beautiful scenery for a while, we closed the door and went upstairs to rest.
Little did they know that shortly after they fell asleep, Qin Shi Huang and his entourage reached the top of Mount Tai.
Although it was still the familiar mountaintop, a strange three-story building had appeared not far from the Jade Emperor Temple.
The group looked at each other, completely bewildered by the situation in the room.
Seeing this, Meng Yi stepped forward, wanting to investigate the situation of the house.
But when he got halfway there, he couldn't get any closer, as if an invisible barrier was blocking his way.
He reached out and touched it, refusing to believe it. It was ice-cold to the touch, but he still couldn't see it. After examining it for a moment, Meng Yi turned around and went back to the main force.
"Your Majesty, there is something strange about this house. We can't get any closer. There is an invisible barrier in front of us. It's very strange. We can touch it, but we can't see it."
Upon hearing Meng Yi's words, Qin Shi Huang stared thoughtfully at the house standing not far away for a while without replying. Instead, he walked forward to the spot where Meng Yi had just been.
He tried to take another step forward, but there was indeed something unseen blocking his way.
He then reached out to touch it and indeed felt a wall. It was icy cold to the touch, without any warmth. It was also a transparent wall, invisible yet tangible.
This aroused a sense of curiosity in Qin Shi Huang. Could the immortals living here be from Penglai? Had Xu Fu brought them back for him?
Otherwise, he wouldn't know who was behind this miraculous method.
"Your Majesty, it is getting late. Let's go into the temple to rest first! After all, the night wind is quite cool on this mountaintop, and your health is of utmost importance!"
Seeing that Qin Shi Huang was lost in thought and hadn't made a move for a long time, Zhao Gao hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully inquired.
The main force dared not move. Although everyone was curious about the strange house, they dared not approach without His Majesty's order.
A night breeze blew by, making the mountaintop seem even colder. In an instant, the defenseless Confucian scholars and officials shivered from the cold.
Upon hearing this, Qin Shi Huang slowly withdrew his hand, which had been touching the transparent wall in mid-air, and addressed the crowd:
"Pack up, set up camp, and leave two people here to guard the place. Report back immediately if anything happens!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, everyone responded in unison and immediately got busy. Meng Yi specifically chose two skilled martial artists to guard the front of this strange house.
After all, it's best to be careful with this house of unknown origin. If the owner of the house has any bad intentions, they can prepare in advance.
Everyone in the group was very interested in the strange house, but none of them went to investigate because they were all exhausted.
After climbing the mountain all afternoon, my legs were still sore. Even though I was interested, I couldn't resist the fatigue. So after setting up the tents, I went inside to rest.
Soon, everyone fell asleep, and the two people from different times and spaces were surprisingly in harmony at this moment.
Meanwhile, Gu Xinyan and the others, who were fast asleep inside the store, were completely unaware, because the store automatically entered protection mode after closing its doors.
When the protection mode is activated, no one or any animal can approach the store, and the soundproofing of the dimensional store is excellent, so the group cannot hear anything happening outside.
Of course, aside from Xiaobai, this thing is a system. It usually sleeps in hibernation mode, and it knew about Qin Shi Huang and his entourage as soon as they reached the top.
Moreover, it secretly peered at them through the third-floor window for a long time.
When they saw the man in the black and gold robe with a jade crown on his head, he was the most eye-catching person in the crowd. They knew who he was without even having to guess.
Xiao Bai stared at Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of all time, with great delight for a long time, until Qin Shi Huang went into the Jade Emperor Temple to rest, and only then did he withdraw his gaze.
After all, it's so late now, it's impossible for it to wake up its host in the middle of the night and make the host and the others have a long talk with Qin Shi Huang.
Judging from this group of people, they probably all climbed the mountain overnight, especially the scholars and officials at the back, who are panting heavily from exhaustion. So, let's leave whatever it is for the next day.
Gu Xinyan slept soundly through the night and woke up early the next morning. She stared at the ceiling for a while, still seemingly a little dazed. However, a single sentence from Xiaobai instantly snapped her back to reality.
[Host, wake up! Your beloved ancestors are downstairs. They arrived around midnight last night. Wake up!]
Xiao Bai guarded this big secret all night, and finally waited until its host opened its eyes. Seeing its host's dazed look, Xiao Bai knew that it was not fully awake yet.
Seeing this, Xiaobai ran to its host's ear with a mischievous grin and told him the shocking news.
Sure enough, the next moment, the host sprang up from the bed and rushed to the window.
Holy crap!
Upon seeing what was happening below, Gu Xinyan couldn't help but swear. She knew it; Xiaobai's smug tone just didn't sound right.
Usually, they're nowhere to be seen when I wake up in the morning, but they're still here today. Something serious must have happened. I hurriedly opened the closet, found a decent-looking outfit, and rushed into the bathroom.
After washing up and dressing up a bit, I finally picked up my little white dog, who was still on the bed, and went out.
To his surprise, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Lu Yunting and his group of four coming out of the same door.
The group looked at each other for a while, and after secretly observing each other's attire, they couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"It seems we're thinking the same thing!"
Gu Xinya looked at Gu Xinyan, who had put on exquisite makeup, and teased her with a smile, saying that when she woke up in the morning, Xiaobai was already waiting for her.
Upon learning that Qin Shi Huang and his entourage were from below, they excitedly rummaged through their clothes. Seeing that everyone was dressed quite formally, they couldn't help but laugh.
Upon hearing this, the group burst into laughter, and after laughing, they tacitly headed downstairs.
Once they reached the first floor, the group became noticeably tense. They looked at each other, but no one went to open the door first.
Seeing how timid the others looked, Lu Yunting finally stepped forward.
