Chapter 191
The black-robed leader was so angry that he said, "If you don't accept my toast, don't blame us for being rude."
Then he waved his hand, and several men in black robes rushed towards Gu Shihan and the other two.
Gu Shihan and Duan Siqi immediately used magic to resist, but the gap in strength between the two sides was too great.
Seeing that he couldn't hold on any longer, Gu Shihan pulled Duan Siqi and ran towards the cliff.
"Brother, have they finished jumping off the cliff? Should we still chase them?" asked the tall and thin male cultivator.
"Watch me!" The male cultivator waved his hand and a long whip came out, wrapping directly towards Gu Shihan and Duan Siqi, trying to tie them up.
When Gu Shihan saw that something was not right, he pushed Duan Siqi to the edge of the cliff, and the red lotus fire faced the swinging whip.
The whip turned into ashes under the flames. Gu Shihan no longer cared about anything else and jumped down while pulling Duan Siqi.
The wind was howling, and they descended more than a hundred feet. Xing Bai used his power of confinement to catch the two people and brought them to a protruding rock.
"Let's stay here for a while, and then go up after the people above leave. You restrain your breath, and I will use the power of confinement to protect you, so that they won't find you when they chase you down." Xing Bai frowned and looked up vigilantly.
Gu Shihan and Duan Siqi were also frightened. They didn't expect to encounter danger before they even went out.
"Shi Han, I wonder how Nangong Yi and the others are doing? My cultivation is too low now, I can't even protect myself. When can I stop being so cautious? I miss home so much!" Duan Siqi's eyes were a little red.
"I miss Wuhua Sect too. I hope my brothers and sisters are all in the same place. It will be safer that way."
"Yes! Fortunately you are here, otherwise I don't know how long I can survive alone." Duan Siqi hugged her head and said dejectedly.
On the cliff, several men in black robes stamped their feet in anger, “How ridiculous! The five of us failed to catch the two small golden pills, and you even destroyed my Ruyi whip. Are you all shit eaters?” the leader of the men in black robes said angrily.
"Brother, we didn't expect that they would risk their lives. This is not a good place. No one has ever come up alive. It's a pity for two young and tender girls." The tall and thin man looked regretful.
Gu Shihan and Duan Siqi looked around. The bottom of the cliff was foggy and they couldn't see the bottom at a glance. If Xingbai hadn't caught them, they would have been smashed to pieces if they fell down, right?
"Hey, there are words on this cliff!" Duan Siqi stared at one place and said in surprise.
"What? There are words?!" Gu Shihan moved closer and sure enough, there were a few rune letters on the cliff.
Gu Shihan's heart moved, and he started searching along the rune letters. Soon he found several corresponding slightly smooth protrusions on the other side. It was obvious that someone had touched them often.
"Is there any mechanism here?" Duan Siqi became curious.
“Maybe, but it must have been quite some time. The bump has been weathered and has moss growing on it. It must have been left there for some time.
"Never mind. Since we have seen it, it is necessary to investigate. Shi Han, have you figured out what's going on?"
Gu Shihan looked at the protrusions carefully and gently touched the runes on them with his fingers.
"I feel like it's an ancient formation, but how to break it requires further research." She said, frowning slightly.
"Okay! I'll protect you!"
Gu Shihan's mind was working quickly, and Xing Bai's words came to him at the right time, "The people up there have left, and there is nothing behind this cliff. Perhaps your chance is coming."
"Thank you for your good words!" Gu Shihan began to look for a solution. She pressed on several protrusions.
Suddenly, a ray of light flashed on the cliff, and the protrusions began to move slowly. With a roar, a stone door opened on the cliff.
A powerful suction force came from the stone gate, instantly sucking the two unsuspecting people in.
The stone gate then closed and calm returned. After Shi Han and Duan Siqi entered the stone gate, they found that there was a stone cave inside, which was not small.
There are two small ear holes on each side of the stone cave, a stone table and two stone chairs.
Gu Shihan and Duan Siqi looked around cautiously. At this moment, a faint light suddenly appeared on the stone table, and a book emerged.
"What is this?" Duan Siqi reached out to take it curiously.
"Be careful, there might be a scam." Gu Shihan stopped her and used his magic power to probe it first, making sure there was no danger before picking up the book. As soon as he opened it, a beam of light shot out from the book and enveloped the two of them.
They only felt the scene before their eyes change, and they were actually in a peach blossom forest. The breeze blew and the petals fell.
"Is this the space created in the book?" Gu Shihan exclaimed.
A melodious flute sound came from afar, and I followed the sound and saw a man in white sitting under a peach tree playing the flute. The man had a handsome face but a hint of coldness.
"You are finally here." The man stopped playing and said.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Gu Shihan asked.
"I am the one who guards the secret treasure here. Only those who are destined to come here can come here. The secrets in this book can only be known after passing the test. If you pass the test, you will get a great opportunity."
As soon as the man finished speaking, the surrounding scenery changed again, and countless peach blossoms turned into sharp blades and flew towards the two of them.
Gu Shihan and Duan Siqi looked at each other and immediately used their internal energy to resist.
Gu Shihan formed seals with his hands, muttered something, and a protective shield unfolded in front of him.
Duan Siqi waved her sleeves, releasing threads of magic power, which crushed the approaching peach blossom blades one after another. However, the peach blossom blades continued to flow, as if endless.
Just when they were gradually feeling the strain, Gu Shihan suddenly realized that since this was a test, simply defending would not work.
So she shouted loudly, and rushed to the place where the peach blossom blades were most densely packed. She took out the magic sword in her hand, and the sword body emitted a dazzling light. Wherever the peach blossom blades went, they were cut off and dissipated.
Seeing this, Duan Siqi was not willing to be outdone and followed closely behind.
The man in white nodded slightly, waved his hand gently, and the peach blossom blade disappeared. "The first level has been passed. The next level requires you to solve the mystery in my mind."
After the man finished speaking, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
"What puzzle?" Duan Siqi asked.
The man in white looked into the distance and slowly said, "What is the most expensive thing in the world?"
Gu Shihan pondered for a moment and replied, "Love is the most precious. Family, friendship, and love are priceless treasures." The man in white smiled and said, "It seems that you two are destined to be together."
The man in white raised his hand slightly, and a glowing book appeared in the air. "This is the book that contains the secret, but before you take it, I have something to tell you."
Gu Shihan and Duan Siqi looked at each other in confusion, waiting for him to continue.
"The secrets in this book are not all blessings, there are also hidden dangers. Once opened, it may attract covetousness from all parties, or even provoke unknown powerful beings. Are you sure you want to take it away?"
