Chapter 499: Entering the Ruins
Normally, the Dayless Forest is extremely deserted, with only a few cultivators coming to kill monsters and take their cores. But now, it is bustling with people, as noisy as a street market.
At this moment, Tao Zi stood in the innermost part of the Dayless Forest, also known as the Day Palace. The master stood beside her and said, "Before the Emperor's daughter left, she decided to open the entrance at the Day Palace. Aside from the person who opened it, everyone else can enter from anywhere in the Dayless Forest. This is also the main reason why the Xujia Sect established its sect here."
She suddenly realized something and asked, "Zhugong...is it true that no one except the royal family knows about its existence?"
If this is the case, then Zhugong is a life-saving place for Xujiamen.
The gentleman nodded with a smile, then shook his head: "Three thousand years ago, some monks knew about it."
Tao Zi was silent. The master really believed in her, from the moment they met.
Then he changed his mind, maybe it wasn't because he believed in her, but because of the one who lived three thousand years ago.
Cheng Wuchou stood on the other side and said, "Sir, in your opinion, what is the crisis inside the ruins?"
The gentleman shook his head and said, "In the past three thousand years, the Imperial Daughter's ruins have never been opened. I can't say for sure."
At three o'clock in the morning, Cheng Wuchou and Tao Zi cut their palms together, and blood floated from their palms and floated in front of Mr. Yu.
The gentleman's gestures changed, and the blood drops gradually merged into the three necklaces. At the same time, thin mist emerged from the border of the Dayless Forest, blocking out the outside world's sight.
Doors appeared inside the forest, made of jade, gold, silver, or wood. Apart from the materials, each door had slight differences, but they were all engraved with the symbol of the Xuanyue royal family, a lotus.
There is also a door in front of the Dayu Palace, but that door is made of blood. When you get close to it, you can smell the blood.
Someone whispered, "Sir, judging by the appearance of this door, the ruins are likely to be in great danger."
The gentleman said, "Perhaps, but I believe that the door that the Imperial Princess left for the Day Palace is definitely not a killing door."
Tao Zi walked towards the door with Cheng Wuchou and others. She was the first to push the door open and walked in.
As soon as their figures disappeared inside the door, the door gradually became illusory until it disappeared.
The interior of the Dayless Forest also changed from the silence of the night to the noise.
Another part of the forest.
Lian Qingzhou changed her usual delicate and graceful demeanor and asked coldly, "Why did Senior Brother Wangxu insist on coming with us?"
Wang Xu said sternly, "Minglan Sect has just been robbed and its strength is low. We will take good care of them. Junior Sister Qingzhou, please don't be polite."
The disciples behind him responded one after another, each of them looking righteous and awe-inspiring.
Xu Qianjia watched from the side, his face calm but his heart full of sneers. The so-called disaster was caused by Wangxu, and he even lost his status as the young sect leader because of it. The ordinary disciples did not know it, but they knew it very well.
Lian Qingzhou secretly gritted his teeth, smiled again, and said, "In that case, please take good care of me, Senior Brother Wang."
"Whatever Junior Sister said, this is as it should be."
A quarter of an hour later, all the doors disappeared in an instant, leaving only the monk who was a step slower to beat his chest and stamp his feet.
After Tao Zi entered the door, she felt that her whole body had lost control and was suspended in mid-air. All she could see was a thick blood color, and the smell of blood lingered at the tip of her nose.
It was so quiet all around that even the sounds of heartbeats and breathing were clear.
She calmly counted her heartbeats to judge the time.
About a quarter of an hour later, the blood color in front of his eyes gradually dissipated, and control of his body returned to his hands.
She was standing in a dense forest, with no one around.
Could it be that this relic was teleported randomly?
Tao Zi was just about to take a step forward to check the surroundings, but she suddenly stopped and sniffed the air.
It's not an illusion. Every blade of grass and every tree here, even the breeze blowing on your face, carries the smell of blood.
I don’t know if it’s because there were too many deaths or if it’s just like that.
“Save me!”
A miserable and familiar voice sounded from mid-air. Before Tao Zi could judge the identity of this person, she subconsciously took several steps back to avoid being hit by this visitor from the sky.
A second or two later, the man fell to the ground, and the dust he raised fell all over Tao Zi.
She looked closely and found that it was Li Xiu.
Li Xiu was lying on the ground with a dazed look on his face, but fortunately he was still breathing, so he should still be alive.
Tao Zi stepped forward and fed him a pill, which he swallowed instinctively. After nearly a quarter of an hour, he recovered and said with difficulty, "Thank you for saving me, fellow Daoist. You look somewhat familiar. I wonder what sect you are from? One day, I will repay you for your kindness."
Can this blow cause amnesia?
She called out in confusion: "Li Xiu?"
Li Xiu listened to this strange yet strangely familiar voice, then looked at this face, and her eyes suddenly widened: "Tao Mei?!"
"It's me."
He was so excited that he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Tao Zi helplessly stood by and waited for him to recover.
After a long while, he said in shock: "You look so unique now."
"You can just say it's ugly, no need to be so euphemistic."
Li Xiu said seriously: "It's not ugly, it's really not ugly."
She was too lazy to continue talking. While checking the surroundings, she said, "I have something important to do. You'd better get better soon."
Li Xiu was busy giving herself acupuncture, and she didn't forget to ask, "What's the matter with the mark on your face?"
Tao Zi's first reaction was the burn marks, but then she thought something was wrong. She didn't believe that Li Xiu hadn't found out about her, not to mention that the marks were slowly disappearing as her strength increased.
She decisively took out the mirror and looked at herself. She saw a lotus symbol blooming on the woman's face in the mirror. The symbol almost took up three-quarters of the facial space, which was seductive and weird.
Tao Zi turned her head and glanced at Li Xiu. This man had good composure and didn't scream in fright when he saw her for the first time.
After Li Xiu healed herself almost completely, she climbed up, walked quickly to Tao Zi, grabbed her wrist, and put the concentric ring on her.
At that time, Tao Zi was still studying the marks on her face, and his movements were too sudden and swift. If Tao Zi had not reacted quickly enough, she would have attacked him directly.
She lowered her voice and said, "Li Xiu, I've been possessed by a demon."
"I know." He warned nonchalantly, "You must protect this concentric ring. Otherwise, I won't know where to find you if something happens."
"I mean, there's a chance I won't be able to control myself. Next time, you should warn me before you get close to me."
Li Xiu was stunned for a moment, touched his head, and said with a smile: "I was negligent. Next time I will approach you while chanting the Heart Purification Mantra."
Seeing his indifferent look, Tao Zi suddenly felt a little annoyed. She had lost control with Cheng Luo before and almost killed him.
She couldn't imagine how dire the consequences would be if her brother wasn't there at the time, and if the people on the other side were friends of ordinary ability like Li Xiu.
Li Xiu looked at her irritable look, sighed secretly in her heart, and said seriously: "It's okay, I believe in you, and you should believe in yourself too."
