Chapter 99 Your Highness, It’s Time to Get Up
The palace door was thick and heavy, and it was accompanied by a heavy "creaking" sound when it opened.
The hall behind the door is so magnificent that it can be seen with the naked eye, and the luxury of the palace can be seen at a glance.
But among the dozens of people present, no one dared to walk into the palace.
They looked at each other, waiting for the other's move.
Xie Liuyin was not the type to shrink back. Seeing that the few wandering cultivators standing in the front row were hesitant and refused to take a step forward, she impatiently walked around them and headed straight for the palace gate.
She walked at a leisurely pace, as if she was not going to venture into a dangerous place, but just to have fun.
"Junior Master!" Hua Lingxue called her, trying to stop Xie Liuyin.
The situation inside the palace is unclear. What if there is danger? It is better to let others go in and explore first.
But Xie Liuyin didn't stop or look back, he just said to her: "Don't worry."
How could Princess Luo not be worried?
She looked at Xie Liuyin's receding back nervously and said angrily, "How can Sister Liuyin be so bold? Isn't she afraid of encountering danger in there?"
"A cultivator fights against the heavens for his life. From the moment he sets foot on the path of cultivation, he is in constant danger." Qiu Yu suddenly spoke. She looked at Xie Liuyin steadily, and finally raised her foot to follow him.
Hua Lingxue and Princess Luo, who were still hesitant, looked at each other after hearing this and saw the determination in each other's eyes.
Afterwards, they held hands, without any fear in their eyes, and followed Xie Liuyin into the hall.
Mei Yuyin, who had been following Xie Liuyin, saw this and a strange light flashed in his eyes. He smiled and walked forward without fear of death.
Seeing that several female cultivators rushed in first and nothing happened, the other cultivators could not stand it anymore and rushed in.
Fortunately, the Qingxiao Sect's group had already set off behind Princess Luo and the others, and finally entered the palace before everyone else.
After all the independent cultivators had entered, Yan Xiuyun and other disciples from other large sects looked at each other and followed them in.
Xie Liuyin, who entered first, vigilantly scanned the entire palace with her spiritual sense. Only after making sure that there was no danger hidden inside did she dare to go deeper.
This palace is not small, and the lobby of the main hall is also terrifyingly large.
The entire hall is supported by twelve stone pillars with entwined dragons on them. The stone statues of dragons carved on them are lifelike. If the dragons did not have eyes, Xie Liuyin would have thought they were living creatures.
In addition, several walls of the hall were engraved with some words that Xie Liuyin could not recognize and some blurry pictures.
Xie Liuyin struggled to identify them and roughly figured out that these patterns told the story of the owner of the palace.
Probably in an era very far away from today, a princess of a certain country fell in love with a monk. The monk seemed to have a special status and had no feelings for the princess.
So when the princess expressed her feelings to him, the monk rejected her and returned to the temple to practice seclusion.
Later, the princess killed her brother and became the new ruler of the country. Finally, she sent people to demolish the temple and forcibly took the monk away.
Xie Liuyin was reading the story with great interest, but found that the scene was interrupted here.
She sighed with regret, and was really curious about what would happen to the princess and the monk next.
"Who are you sighing for, Taoist friend?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded in Xie Liuyin's ears.
Xie Liuyin turned her head and saw a handsome monk's face.
If Xie Liuyin had not known for sure that this person was none other than Wu Du, whom he had observed for a long time, he would have almost thought that the person in the mural had escaped.
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Wudu. I am Xie Liuyin from Qingxiao Sect." Xie Liuyin did not rush to answer the question, but introduced himself first.
Wu Du smiled at her gently and said, "I have heard of Daoist Fellow Xie's great name a long time ago, but I didn't expect Daoist Fellow Xie to know me as well."
"I naturally know about Master Wudu of the Golden Sutra Pavilion." Xie Liuyin vaguely said, "As for why I sighed just now, it wasn't for anyone, it was purely because I couldn't see the end of the story."
She was not familiar with the two people in the mural, nor did she know the whole story, so naturally she did not feel any emotion.
Wu Du was curious and asked, "In the murals, the princess was infatuated with the wrong person, the monk's faith was destroyed, the prince died at the hands of his own sister, the temple was robbed and demolished... Which one of them is not worth a sigh. Why don't you have any understanding at all?"
Xie Liuyin could tell that this person was just purely curious and didn't have the slightest intention of preaching.
She liked the man's pure attitude, so she said generously: "The murals are not complete, and it is really biased to only look at these fragments. Who knows if the monk never responded to the princess, is he willing to be with the princess, but is trapped in the temple?"
"Who knows if that prince will be a good emperor? Didn't the princess kill her brother for the sake of the people of the world?"
"I can't comment without knowing the full picture. I just look at paintings, so naturally I don't have that many feelings." Xie Liuyin said lightly.
Wu Du laughed when he heard this: "Daoyou's answer is very interesting. I am grateful for your advice."
"Miss Xie, what are you talking about? Why don't you tell me?" Mei Yuyin looked around the hall and finally saw Xie Liuyin in the corner.
But just as he was about to go up and talk to her, he saw a strange figure beside her.
Just by looking at the other person's attire, Mei Yuyin quickly recognized that this was the Buddhist practitioner from the Golden Sutra Pavilion.
Before, outside the palace, Xie Liuyin had looked at him many times. Now the two of them seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation, which immediately aroused Mei Yuyin's vigilance.
He quickly squeezed in between the two of them and forced Wu Du out of the way.
Wu Du was not angry. He had already seen through Mei Yuyin's little thoughts when they were outside.
Xie Liuyin replied casually: "Nothing, I just looked at the murals and chatted casually."
"Murals?" Mei Yuyin then noticed that there were many pictures and texts carved on the wall.
He quickly scanned the area with his spiritual sense, and finally sneered, "This princess's methods are average. She really should come to our Hehuan Sect to learn. Such tough methods will not please her beloved."
As she spoke, Mei Yuyin glanced at Xie Liuyin and said meaningfully, "If I like someone, I will definitely put all my love in front of her. Even if she doesn't like me, as long as she allows me to be by her side, let me always look at her and treat her well, I will be content."
Xie Liuyin pretended that she didn't understand and turned around to look somewhere else.
However, an accident suddenly happened at this moment.
White mist suddenly came from all directions, and in just a few breaths, it instantly submerged the entire palace.
The cultivator who reacted immediately used his spiritual power, but not only did it fail to disperse the thick fog, it made the fog even more turbulent.
Xie Liuyin subconsciously held his breath and wanted to activate the defensive talisman to protect himself.
However, before she could reach out to touch the talisman, her mind went blank and she fainted the next second.
When he opened his eyes again, Xie Liuyin found that he was no longer in the palace.
Someone called her softly, "Your Highness, it's time to get up."
