I consoled myself with this, because even I didn't know if it was true. Before, I had Su Xiaoniu, who could help me solve many problems and educate me on many things I didn't know. Now that Su Xiaoniu is gone, I have to rely on my own judgment and analysis to make the right choices.
Similarly, for unknown and uncertain things, I can only rely on myself to explore.
I walked forward cautiously. Since there was no way back, I had no choice but to move forward. This road was a little different from the ones I had walked before. Before, the roads were either very cold or very hot, but now, it felt a little eerie.
But strangely, this aura was incredibly familiar to me, as if I'd encountered it before. I immediately opened my Dharma Eye and scanned the forest in all directions. All I could see was a thick cloud, shrouded in black air. The entire forest had transformed into a desolate wilderness, a scene of withered decay. A few dozen meters ahead, a dilapidated house resembling a palace stood, with withered vines tangled on the walls and ghostly lights flickering within.
Seeing this, I was stunned for a moment. How could a palace appear in such a place? And it looked so gloomy and terrifying, as if it was a palace where ghosts and gods lived.
"Huh?" Suddenly, someone behind me exclaimed in surprise. I quickly closed my eyes and looked behind me. There were three people walking up behind me, two men and one woman. Of course, that wasn't the main point. The most important thing was that I actually knew all three of them!
"Uncle Zhang? Madam? Lao Sha?" I was a little stunned.
Yes, they were none other than Zhang Haitao, Sister Broodmother, and Lao Sha, the three explorers. Ever since returning from their Loulan expedition, they'd gone on to explore other places, and we hadn't seen each other since. It's been a year or two, and I never expected to run into them here. What a surprise!
The three of them walked up to me. Zhang Haitao came up and put his hands on my shoulders, a hint of surprise on his weathered face: "Xiaofei? Why are you here?"
"I came to look for someone, and then... I got lost!" I replied embarrassedly.
"Oh~ handsome boy, long time no see, you look a lot more handsome." You can tell without even looking that the person who said this must be the brothel owner who seems to be seducing people all the time. Her magnetic and seductive laughter is simply heart-stirring.
But her eyes glanced up from between my legs, and then fell on the backpack behind me... Damn, it's been so long, is she still thinking about my Tianpeng ruler!
I remained calm and said, "Sister Boss, you're the same. You're getting more and more annoying."
The madam winked at me gently, her big eyes seductive enough to almost make me lose control. I resolutely avoided looking at her, and then the old man came up, put his arm around my neck, and said with a simple smile, "This is fate. We came to Tianmen Mountain to explore and discovered something incredible, but due to our limited abilities, we never dared to take action. Now that I've met you, Xiaofei, maybe I can give it a try!"
I asked curiously, "What is it?"
Lao Sha pointed to the eerie woods ahead and said, "Have you noticed anything strange in the woods ahead?"
I frowned and said, "You saw it too?"
Zhang Haitao asked in surprise: "See? Xiaofei, what did you see?"
I was stunned. Judging from what Zhang Haitao said, they didn't see the gloomy palace I just discovered, but vaguely felt it and were trying to find a way to take action. However, their abilities were limited, and the palace seemed to be invisible, making it impossible for them to do anything.
I thought for a moment, if I want to find Su Xiaoniu, it seems that I have to go through here, and the only way to go through here is to see through the palace and break in!
"The forest I saw ahead was just an illusion. Its true appearance is actually a barren and decaying wilderness, with a gloomy palace sitting above it. There must be something terrifying inside..." I told them the truth: "Are you sure you want to take action?"
The brothel owner lit a cigarette and puffed away: "Palace? There's a palace in a place like this? Are you sure you're not seeing things?" She was wearing a black leather coat as always, with the chest open to reveal her V-shaped cleavage, black leather shorts to reveal her snow-white thighs, long leather boots to her knees, leather gloves on both hands, and a bundle of thick rope tied around her waist.
She hasn't changed much since I first saw her.
I nodded. "I'm quite confident in my own eyesight, but... I always feel like that palace is difficult to attack. The main thing is, you can't see it at all, right?"
Zhang Haitao, the madam, and Lao Sha exchanged a glance. Zhang Haitao said, "I heard from Xuanxuan that cultivators like you who hunt ghosts and exorcise demons can use talismans to temporarily open people's eyes, right?"
I understood and immediately took out water, a bowl, and talisman paper from my bag. After a few mixes, the talisman water was ready. Next, I dipped a small amount of the talisman water on my finger and tapped the three of them twice on their eyelids, then asked them to look towards the woods ahead.
The three of them opened their eyes, and when their gazes fell on the woods ahead, their mouths opened wide almost at the same time, as if they had seen something terrible.
Zhang Haitao said in shock, "Could this be the legendary Ghost Gate Bagua Escape?"
Ghost Gate...Eight Trigrams Escape?
I was stunned. I hadn't noticed any features similar to the Ghost Gate Bagua Dun when I looked at it earlier. Furthermore, how did Zhang Haitao know about the Ghost Gate Bagua Dun? After all, Zhang Haitao had been exploring the world since he was very young, so he was naturally well-informed. It made sense that he knew about the Ghost Gate Bagua Dun.
