"If we had been at the entrance of this passage in the painting, we would have been unable to enter or exit."
And it was at this moment that the voice attacked us. Wouldn't we be trapped inside forever?
I don't want to end up like those ancient people.
And modern people too…
The girl's voice trembled slightly, but her eyes remained honest and expectant as she stared at the opening in the mural.
I didn't say anything, I just shook my head slightly. Indeed, if the girl was really unwilling, then there was nothing I could do.
Now, using the girl's words to influence that monster, and to bury this ancient sage in the ground, is our only way.
Because I can clearly feel that the energy of this mural is gradually increasing. Its current state, the state of the ancient person when he broke free from the mural, and the state of us when we first entered this mural are all completely different.
I am even quite certain that if we had never gotten close to this mural, the ancients would never have come out of here.
The reason he's so strong is because one of the three of us is very strong!
The only thing we can do now is have the girl subdue this guy first, and then let us pass.
Although that's what I said, I also agree with the girl's idea.
If even the slightest mishap occurs between us, then there's nothing we can do...
"Brother... to be honest, I'm not entirely sure either, that is, why I was able to control this guy."
Logically speaking, our voices should be quite similar.
Why is it that I can keep this guy pinned down and even completely stunned, while you can't?
Hearing the girl's words, I felt a little embarrassed.
I know he didn't mean anything by it, nor did he intend to mock me, but when we were both talking at the same time, it seemed like I really had no effect whatsoever.
I've thought about this for a long time, and the conclusion I've come to is that this ancient person had a somewhat abnormal constitution.
Because this thing grew out of the mural itself, meaning its original form was just some gray stone from the mural.
The girl was originally part of this manor. Although the manor and the Dragon Palace seem very different, they actually belong to the same land.
If the girl is a very powerful being in this manor, then wherever she goes, a special pattern will naturally form.
This is what we often call aura or presence.
It wasn't just this ancient person, or even every blade of grass and every tiny creature in the entire manor, that probably felt a strong fear of the existence of a young girl.
Otherwise, the girl wouldn't have become a major force in this manor.
Even though that's what I thought, I still felt a little annoyed.
I shared this idea with the girl, but I phrased it very tactfully.
"Brother, you mean..."
Because I'm a local?
The girl rubbed her forehead and thought about it seriously for a moment, then slowly nodded.
I understand that this matter may still be somewhat incomprehensible to him, but if it is truly because of the girl's identity, this ancient man will definitely continue to be influenced by the girl.
Because while rivers and mountains may change, the nature of the weak and vulnerable is hard to alter.
It's just an ordinary stone, with some energy injected into it.
I am now pondering the energy shift the girl experienced earlier; it must have influenced more than just this ancient person.
Logically speaking, the aura surrounding her should have a significant impact on the blue-armored man as well!
Why was Lan Jia so relaxed when he saw us, completely disregarding the girl and treating her like an ordinary one?
The tone was as if they were looking at small fish and shrimp.
It's understandable that the people in the riverside hotel might not understand the girl; after all, they've probably been dead for many years, so their perception of modern things would definitely be a bit weaker.
But Lan Jia is definitely a living person. How could he not sense the immense vitality emanating from the girl?
Unless... this guy is deliberately hiding it!
As I thought about it, I conveyed my thoughts to the girl.
At this moment, Yiyi was nodding repeatedly.
"Brother, if that's really the case, then I think we can give it a try!"
But I'm not afraid of that sound anymore.
Even if you're afraid, you have to get through it!
At this moment, the girl seemed to have mustered up her courage, or perhaps she was inspired by what I had just said, and she suddenly became motivated.
As for this music and these strange sounds that come from time to time, I don't have a definitive conclusion yet. I can only say that there are still too many strange things happening in this palace.
It would be too much to ask of someone to think through every single thing.
Having a basic understanding is enough. We'll take action if the music has any impact on us later.
I glanced at the ancient man lying on the ground. His muscles had shrunk considerably, completely losing the domineering and solemn aura he had exuded just moments before. Instead, he revealed a sense of dejection.
I tentatively took a step toward the mural.
Indeed, the guy didn't react.
This was within my expectations. What could this ancient person possibly have? Because the moment I moved, he probably moved as well.
Then I pulled the girl along for a couple more steps, and we had already passed the stone platform.
But I kept staring at that ancient man, and he still didn't move.
Okay, that's good, that's enough!
I looked at the girl and nodded seriously.
"Brother, do we really not need to figure out what's going on with this stone platform...?"
I had just taken two steps forward, and while I was still staring at the ancient man, the girl spoke without warning.
"you mean?"
I was completely confused.
"Master, does he mean to ask if we really shouldn't go this way since the blue armor you just wore is gone?!"
Although I understood it perfectly, I am 100% opposed to it!
I glanced at the girl again; she was looking very hesitant.
At the same time, he pointed to the center of the stone platform, where the clothes had just disappeared into thin air.
I pondered for a moment, and indeed, if clothes can go this way, we probably can too.
Moreover, judging from the girl's eyes, she seemed to be in a somewhat opportunistic state, or perhaps she was already a little apprehensive about this change.
The girl would be even more willing if she could find an exit from this stone platform.
