This is a cave, and it is very quiet inside.
Wen Jingge found no trace of Lu Wei and the others. The cave was covered with spider webs and there were many skeletons on the ground, whether they were from wild animals or humans, which gave her the illusion that she had come to the Spider Cave.
"Master, have we gone to the wrong place?"
"We shouldn't," Wen Jingge shook her head. "Let's walk a little further!"
She appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was panicking.
Back when we were in the Xuan Yun Sect, I had gone the wrong way several times. I might really go the wrong way now, but she is an elder, so I have to maintain the dignity that an elder should have.
A few crow caws came from the cave. Wen Jingge brushed the feathers off her body, and out flew several bats.
"There's no industrial pollution, so how come there's been a mutation?" She shook her head, burning a lot of spider silk with her torch, and continued on with her two disciples.
Ling Yi was awake and asleep intermittently, clinging to Wen Jingge. In addition, he couldn't walk due to his leg injury, so she carried him the whole way.
He opened his eyes at that moment, glancing blankly at his junior brother who was holding a torch. "Senior brother, is there anyone here?"
"I don't think so," Yang Wennan said.
"Then why are we leaving?"
"If Master says we're leaving, then we're leaving."
"Master, why continue down the wrong path!"
Wen Jingge: ...
This problem...
She suddenly felt that this child might be more suited to be a monk; his mind was full of little question marks, so it would be good for him to cause trouble for the Buddha of Sorrow and Joy.
"Good question!" Wen Jingge was still very supportive, and just when the two disciples were eager to hear her answer, she gave a definite answer, "I don't know either."
The door behind us was blocked by rocks. Who would believe that there was no problem here?
All we can do now is grit our teeth and go for it.
"Master, do you really have to find that Holy Son?"
"yes."
"Why?"
Why?
Wen Jingge smiled. What else could it be?
He was unwilling to die as the second villain!
That's so frustrating!
She has always been a strong-willed person, always striving to do her best in everything, even when it comes to playing a villain that everyone hates.
The Wen Jingge of the past was the scapegoat. She didn't want to be the scapegoat, but she couldn't change the plot. Oh, wait, now she can change the plot, so why...?
Wen Jingge was stumped by the question.
Fortunately, a narrow passageway, just wide enough for one person, appeared ahead, which caught her attention. She tossed two demon-locking chains and a demon-binding rope to Yang Wennan, and tied the other end to herself, saying, "Hold on tight yourself."
Two ties should be enough!
Surely someone who appears here isn't a Xuan Master!
"Master, will this... be useful?" Yang Wennan had never doubted that Wen Jingge would harm him, but this place was gloomy and he had a feeling that he was going to die here.
Although he knew that with his master's strength, the possibility of him being unable to leave this place was very small.
But what did the newly arrived junior disciple say?
He said that his master killed a lot of people. Could it be that his master killed them after he turned into a demon?
He was lost in thought the whole way, as if he had been bumped by something, and then he hurriedly started to pull at the two ropes binding him. As he pulled, the torchlight shone on the ground, and it looked as if the rope had been cut by something.
"Master!" He dared not shout too loudly, for fear of attracting anything in the darkness.
Since entering the cave, I've felt a chilling wind, as if countless eyes are watching me.
"roar!"
Just then, a foul gust of wind blew towards him, and Yang Wennan quickly recited an incantation to control himself within the barrier.
He continued walking in the direction of the rope, but as he walked, the path ended. However, on the ground, he could see fragments of the rope and chains that had been cut.
But that doesn't make sense!
These are chains! The sound of them being chopped was so loud, why couldn't Master hear it?
The cave was surrounded by bright red lanterns, and it resembled a hundred-eyed monster that was now awakening. The stench that had wafted from it indicated the direction it was heading.
Yang Wennan had to be thankful that he was blind.
If you were to look directly into those eyes, who knows what might happen.
"Master, where are you?"
In the empty cave, only his faint echo could be heard.
Yang Wennan felt somewhat helpless, so he took out the string of beads that Wang Xi had given him. The beads were all dull, which meant that no one had been in trouble so far.
This is a farm with many fruit trees. The bright red, juicy fruits hanging on the trees look like little lanterns, which are very appealing.
A field of fruits and vegetables was also planted, with lush green leaves and ripe melons with slightly yellow stems, just waiting for people to harvest them.
Wang Xitian smacked his lips, idly fiddling with a string of beads, and said to a farmer who was just opening her door, "Auntie! Do you sell the fruit in your yard?"
She was a warm-hearted young woman. Most people in the countryside are simple and honest, and when they say things like that, they usually mean they're not actually taking money and are just asking for a free meal.
This time, however, the woman merely glanced at her, as if she had seen something, and hurriedly threw the basin she was holding onto the ground before locking the door.
"Senior brother, am I scary?"
Wang Xi, with a bitter face, took out a mirror. She looked the same as before, except that her face had become much thinner due to her busy schedule these days.
"It's alright." Liang Si frowned.
The woman knew without a doubt who the two furtive figures behind her were, but they were far away, and they were in human form. Besides, there were obstacles in between them. This woman was just an ordinary person; she couldn't possibly see through their human form!
"Let's go in and take a look!" With that, Liang Si jumped into the courtyard, and Wang Xi had no choice but to follow closely behind.
The closer she got to the land of Qianyan, the more strange a feeling arose in her heart, as if something was urging her to return quickly.
She thought she must be homesick, a feeling she hadn't shared with anyone.
In the courtyard, the basin of water lay quietly on the ground. The owner of the basin was still peeking through the crack in the door when he noticed Liang Si and Wang Xi following him in. From inside the house, there was a flurry of movement of tables and chairs, as if someone was using something to hold the door shut.
"Auntie, we are just passing Xuan Masters, why are you afraid of us?"
"You, you are not human."
The two exchanged a glance, sizing each other up, and in the end, Wang Xi reached into her storage bag. "Senior brother, this is the Demon-Revealing Mirror. I'm still me!"
Liang Si also went over to take a look, only to find that her reflection in the mirror had changed.
"Huh?" he asked, puzzled.
He looked younger in the mirror; it was how he looked three years ago when his master took him to the Ten Thousand Zhang Peak.
The demonic aura in his eyes was undisguised, and the murderous aura on his body was heavy. He had no memory of the past events of Xuan Yun Sect, only the events that happened on the mountain later.
If the woman saw him as a demon, that would be understandable.
"If it's not human, then what is it?" Liang Si pressed on.
"No, I don't know." There was a loud crash at the doorway, as if a pile of things had collapsed. "You, the girl next to you, no, she's not human..."
