Xiao Ning lowered his head and stared at the direction indicated by the compass in his hand, only to see that the small needle was steadily pointing to the southeast corner. He took a deep breath and walked in that direction without hesitation.
The night was as dark as ink, and it was pitch dark, but this was not a problem for Xiao Ning. With his keen perception of the surrounding environment and his excellent skills, he cleverly avoided the sect disciples who were patrolling back and forth. Along the way, he was as agile as a ghost, moving silently in the darkness.
As he continued to move forward, Xiao Ning felt that the distance between him and Bai Ziyun was getting shorter and shorter, and the compass needle in his hand seemed to sense this change and began to shake violently. This made Xiao Ning's heart beat faster, and he knew that he was very close to his goal.
About two quarters of an hour later, a huge stone gate appeared in front of Xiao Ning. The stone gate was seven or eight meters high, like an indestructible wall, stretching across there, giving people a heavy and oppressive feeling.
Xiao Ning stood there, looking up at the stone door, with endless doubts in his heart. What kind of secrets does such a big door hide? Why is it standing here? With these questions, Xiao Ning carefully reached out his hand and gently touched the surface of the stone door, trying to find a possible opening mechanism.
However, at this moment, a slight but clear sound of footsteps suddenly reached Xiao Ning's ears. He was startled, and without thinking too much, he quickly dodged and hid in the shadows on the side. Then, several women wearing sect costumes appeared in sight. They seemed to be holding something in their hands, and walked lightly to the stone gate.
One of the women took out a token from her bosom and slowly placed it close to the stone door. Suddenly, a deafening roar sounded, and the entire ground seemed to tremble.
Along with this loud noise, the originally tightly closed stone door began to slowly tilt to both sides, eventually revealing a gap that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.
After completing all these actions, the female disciple carefully put the token into her arms, then walked into the mysterious stone door with lotus steps. Behind her were several women, following closely, as if they were afraid of falling behind. As their figures disappeared into the stone door, the heavy stone door began to emit a low roar and slowly closed.
Xiao Ning, who had been watching this scene from a distance, saw that the stone door was about to close, and he was very anxious. He jumped up without hesitation and rushed towards the stone door like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the stone door and successfully squeezed into the crack of the door at the last moment.
After entering the stone gate, Xiao Ning did not dare to be careless. He dodged to the side like a ghost and hid himself in the dark in an instant. Then, he held his breath and began to carefully look at the surrounding environment.
He saw a series of buildings of different heights and ingenious layouts standing in front of him, like a beautiful painting. However, after a careful observation, Xiao Ning did not notice anything unusual.
After a brief thought, Xiao Ning hurriedly took out an old compass from his pocket. He originally hoped that this compass could guide him to find the right direction, but he did not expect that when the compass was taken out, the needle started to spin around like crazy, completely losing its positioning function.
Seeing this, Xiao Ning couldn't help but frown and cursed in a low voice: "Damn it! Why is this thing suddenly useless? Is there something hidden in this door that can interfere with the compass?"
Since the compass had lost its function, Xiao Ning knew it was futile to rely on it anymore, so he simply put it away.
At this moment, the scene of the female disciples walking into the stone gate that he had seen before flashed through his mind. He vaguely remembered that they seemed to be delivering something important to someone. Thinking of this, Xiao Ning no longer hesitated, and without hesitation, he followed the direction in which the female disciples were walking.
At this time, the female disciples walked slowly on the road, their steps were light, as if every step was filled with an unspeakable sadness. From time to time, they would sigh, and the sighs echoed in the air, as if they were helpless accusations against fate.
A female disciple behind him said in a gentle voice, "Senior Brother Li is getting married again. This is his nth wedding! This woman is so pitiful. She will be refined by Senior Brother Li after the wedding. Alas!"
There was a hint of pity in her voice, but more of it was helplessness towards reality.
The woman in the lead had a stern look in her eyes, and she scolded: "Don't talk too much, just do your own thing. If you tell this to your senior brother, be careful of being used as a medicine inducer, and you will be neither human nor ghost!" Her voice was cold and firm, which made people shudder.
The female disciple who heard this also lowered her head instantly and stopped talking. Her eyes were full of fear, as if she had seen her own tragic end. Then, she followed closely behind him, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
Soon, they arrived at a courtyard. This courtyard seemed particularly quiet, with the surrounding flowers, plants and trees swaying gently in the breeze, as if telling some secrets. The leading woman knocked on the door gently, her voice clear and gentle: "Yue Lin, we are here to deliver wedding clothes to the bride!"
After a long time, the door slowly opened from the inside. Yue Lin was wearing a tight black dress. Her face was cold and expressionless, like an iceberg. Her eyes were cold and sharp, as if they could penetrate people's souls. Then, she opened the door and several people walked in.
