Jinshan feels bitter whenever he thinks about his current financial situation; he's probably the poorest leader in history.
Now he just hopes this ancient tomb will give them a surprise. If they gain a lot, then he won't have to worry about funding and cultivation resources for a long time.
The journey ahead seemed rather long; they walked for a long time without seeing any roadblocks or encountering any unusual situations. The entire journey appeared quite peaceful.
"Stop going, it seems like we've been going in circles." Wu Chenxi sighed inwardly. She wondered who this senior ancestor was, that he could set up so many obstacles on such a short journey.
"You mean we've encountered a ghost wall? But aren't all of us Xuan Masters? How could we not see it?" Li Ai felt that Wu Chenxi was trying to show off again.
"Then you can go. I'll wait for you here." Wu Chenxi was tired from walking, so she sat down in the corner.
Although there was no trace of yin energy here, it was an undeniable fact that they were going around in circles.
Actually, she had already noticed something was wrong when she was on the second lap, and casually threw a few beans on the ground, which she just stepped on again.
Since these people don't believe it, let them be. Anyway, she doesn't want to keep going on like this.
Li Ai snorted and led the way, saying, "Let's go. If she falls behind, she'll catch up on her own."
Zhuang Xianghou ignored me and went straight to Li Ai, saying, "Uncle-Master, you actually have a way with that..."
Zhuang Xiang knows that you haven't been silently marked as a criminal by Zhuang Xiang. Even if you go back and continue to belong to the Xuan Department, you can only do some inner-circle tasks.
If you have no regrets, why did you accept that invitation in the first place?
You just placed eight large stones in the corner, so that they could go and check it out.
Jinshan felt that Li Ai was supporting Wu Chenxi again, and that things were being turned upside down for no reason.
Anyway, we've said what we needed to say. Whether you listen or not is up to me. But if there's no mission next time, Li Ai needs to consider whether to bring you out again.
Don't joke around. Even when Lao Fan went on the mission with him, Jin Shan still found fault a few times, just not as obviously.
Li Ai ignored you that time, but instead warned others, "Don't be careless that time, each family protects itself."
Dealing with people who are clear-headed but averse to acting unilaterally is a real headache.
Even if we ourselves are not convinced, we still have to admit that it is a fact.
Gu Zicheng handed the talisman in his hand to Wu Chenxi, "Let him take it and use it. You don't have any protective magic artifacts yet."
But the reality tells us that we are now truly trapped in this situation, and it's exactly the same as a special kind of "ghost wall" (a type of maze or illusion).
"What do you mean he has a solution? He's better than Lao Fan, so how come he was stumped back then?" Jin Shan was furious, thinking about how they had just walked such a long way for nothing. He felt it was all that man's fault. If you had told us earlier, we would have been embarrassed too.
Gu Zicheng and I both changed our expressions. "We haven't stopped along the way. Compared to the time Master Wu stopped to rest, it's still a long way off for us."
"What do we do now?" Eight large stones are placed outside, visible even to a blind person. "Are we... are we trapped?"
Jinshan looked around and made a mark at the corner of the wall before following along.
"Minister, did you hear what he said? He said it was because we were blinded by ghosts, but we don't feel any yin energy at all. We are cultivators, how could those ghostly things possibly touch us?"
Seeing that no one was prepared, Jin Ba reluctantly took out a barrier-breaking talisman from his pocket and handed one to each of us, saying, "You only have so few left, so each of you take one."
Sitting behind us, leisurely drinking water, was Wu Chenxi, looking at us with disdain. "If you're going so slowly, you're already on the track. It will take longer than the two laps we'll take later."
Are we all as naive as Zhuang Xiang? That ghostly concealment, which we didn't even notice, made the hairs on the back of our heads stand on end.
When true safety arrives, the only one you can truly rely on is yourself. Now it's time to see what your family can do.
Li Ai's expression changed. "Xiao Jia, did you not realize how long we've been walking?"
We can only be thankful that the other side didn't go all out; otherwise, you can imagine what would have happened to our group.
We did bring a watch back, but it was completely useless there.
Gu Zicheng saw everything, but no one else spoke up to remind Zhuang Xiang, since Minister Li Ai only had one talisman left, and it was inevitable that they would be missing one.
Li Ai saw the mark she had secretly made in the corner of the wall and thought, "Let's stop here for now. If our analysis isn't accurate, then if we continue uphill, the journey will double."
Is it just because you invited Wu Chenxi? Are you trying to defend Lao Fan Mingping?
When we got off halfway, we were laughing at Wu Chenxi for being so stupid. We had walked such a long way and still encountered Zhuang Xianghou. What kind of ghost wall was this?
"Minister Jin?" Jin Shan felt that Li Ai's tone that time was too bad, and he was suspicious of her later irritability.
I sent them one by one, but they were skipped by Wu Chenxi.
Since retreating into the tomb, that person has uttered several malicious words. Out of respect for my senior brother, I couldn't hold back, but who knew that you would take advantage of me and push my luck.
They didn't know how long they had walked when Wu Doumi exclaimed in surprise, "Look, how did you end up behind us?"
It wasted our family's time and also exhausted our physical strength. We know that conserving our energy is very important in that tomb.
Normally, when we go out to do things, we need to proceed cautiously step by step, but it's quite annoying when that person stirs up trouble outside.
"I believe him, I'll follow his lead," Zhuang Xiang said angrily. She was still quite dedicated to Jinshan's missions afterward, but she seemed to harbor a lot of resentment about that one bad incident.
Now we only eat when we're hungry and rest when we're tired, and we know exactly how long we've been outside.
Walking aimlessly like that will only exhaust you to death and eventually cause you to collapse.
Wu Doumi glanced at Wu Chenxi and said, "Little Master Wu, you figured it out so quickly. You probably have no other way to deal with it now. Hurry up and break that formation."
Zhuang Xianghou looked at you as if you were an idiot. "They're all cultivators, yet he could see through that. It's not some kind of formation, but a trick of deceiving the eye."
Wu Chenxi glanced at me and said, "It is, but you don't have any trump cards to protect yourself."
Back then, when Minister Li Ai invited us to the Xuan Department, his attitude was quite different. He spoke ill of us for our past shared hardships and joint efforts to protect the Xuan Sect.
Li Ai said, "Comrade Jinshan, I was wrong. It's just a ghostly illusion, some kind of formation. Now, the family is ruining itself. We need to find a way to break through the illusion behind our eyes."
