The two were having a silent conversation when the three people who had come in together...
They assumed that the fact that they were standing still meant that they had discovered something unusual.
Everyone remained silent, holding their breath, and no one dared to utter a single word.
After the two finished discussing, they turned around and saw three pairs of eyes staring straight at them.
Qin Luo wasn't scared to death by the ghost, but she was almost scared to death by them.
What are you three doing?
Tumen slowly approached her and asked in a low voice.
"Luo Luo, you and Zai Zai suddenly stopped moving. Did you discover something?"
Qin Luo hadn't expected that he had given them the wrong information.
"It's okay, the little one was just a bit scared, so I comforted it."
Martial Arts Flower…
Upon hearing this, the guard stepped forward and launched into a lecture.
"See what I told you? You could have just come in by yourselves, but you insisted on bringing the child. Were you scared? There's still time. Send someone to take the child out quickly!"
He had barely finished speaking when the door slammed shut with a thud.
It was as if someone had slammed it shut, followed by a thick, gray mist.
They then completely blocked the gate, cutting off all their escape routes.
Apart from Qin Luo and Wu Hua, the other three people present were so frightened that they huddled together in a ball.
The mist, as if locking onto a target, slowly spread out towards the group.
Left with no other choice, the group continued onward.
As they went deeper, they passed the first level, the second level... until they reached the fifth level.
The light here was almost completely swallowed up, with only a few slivers of dim, yellowish candlelight flickering.
The light barely illuminated the surroundings, and an invisible pressure in the air made it hard to breathe.
It was as if an invisible pair of eyes were peering into the soul of every intruder.
At this moment, Qin Luo took out a handful of Bodhi leaves and distributed several to each person.
Tumen was still somewhat puzzled when he told them to place the items on their chests.
"Luo Luo, what's the use of these leaves?"
The guards also thought she was being ridiculous.
"What good is it? When we encounter a ghost later, we'll use it to cover our eyes so we don't get scared to death."
Qin Luo ignored his sarcasm and patiently explained to Tu Men'an.
"This is a Bodhi leaf that has been around for ten thousand years. It is specially used to ward off evil spirits. If you really encounter a demon, it can protect your soul from being devoured."
After she finished speaking, Tumen's admiring gaze shone brighter than a candle flame.
"Luo Luo, I never knew you knew Taoist arts, that's amazing!"
“It’s just something passed down from our ancestors. I think that the ghost that forced us here will show itself soon. Everyone, don’t get separated and try to stay with me and the baby.”
"good!"
After answering Tumen's question, he immediately stuffed the Bodhi leaf into his bosom.
Then, he stood timidly behind Qin Luo.
Seven Sisters followed suit, and the guards weren't as afraid as they seemed.
But the hand that collected the Bodhi leaves was incredibly swift.
Sure enough, not long after, two faint figures slowly appeared.
A seemingly ferocious ghost, draped in a black robe with a distorted and ugly face.
His eyes still gleamed with an insatiable greed and cruelty.
The other one was pale, its coldness carrying a hint of gentleness.
Its silhouette almost blended into the darkness, only its clear eyes remained.
It revealed a hint of sadness that was not easily noticed.
The menacing ghost smirked as it saw the group.
It really liked these humans who were forced up by its own mist.
It intends to manipulate them one by one until they suffer a mental breakdown.
They then devoured half of their souls to escape the pursuit of the underworld.
The benevolent spirit could only watch silently from the sidelines.
Filled with helplessness and sorrow, it tried many times to stop the evil spirit.
However, they always failed due to the disparity in strength, and could only take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness.
They secretly released some innocent people, hoping they could convey their longing for their deceased loved ones.
“An’an, I’m fine. I’m still here waiting for you.”
However, most of these released souls were traumatized by the previous events.
She had lost her mind, only remembering that name, repeatedly murmuring "An An".
Apart from that, all memories within the building vanished like a flickering candle in the wind.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua could tell the two ghosts' good and evil at a glance.
The two were on high alert, ready to eliminate Qi Niang and the others the instant they attacked.
Seventh Sister and her guard trembled, glancing at the two ghosts before...
He dared not look up again, but Tumen'an was different.
She stared blankly at those eyes in the darkness, eyes she hadn't seen for many years.
But she recognized the owner of those eyes at first glance.
"Ah Rui, is that you? It's me, An An. I've come to find you..."
As soon as she spoke, the benevolent spirit seemed to be struck by something.
She stood frozen in place, then drifted like a thin mist to Tumen's side.
"An'an, it's you, An'an. You look different, but the red mole on your eyebrow is still there. Why did you take so long to come? Do you know how long I've been waiting for you..."
Shen Tu Rui cried out, tears of blood streaming from his eyes.
Tumen quickly wiped it with his hand.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've come, I've come many times, but I've been turned away every time. I'm so useless and have kept you waiting."
"You got hit? Where were you hit? You must be injured, does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt..."
Then, Tumen introduced Qin Luo and others to it.
Shen Tu Rui was deeply moved when he learned that they had come specifically to rescue him.
After Qi Niang recounted her experiences searching for Tu Men An over the years, it cried even harder.
"How could you be so stupid? You came even after being beaten. What if you got killed?"
Tumen'an, however, laughed in a very silly way.
