A carriage stopped in front of the Gu Palace. The people in the carriage opened the curtain and stepped out. They saw a man wearing a moon-white brocade robe, with a face like a crown of jade and an extraordinary bearing.
And this person is the high priest Xiao Chengyi disguised as,
Xiao Chengyi raised his eyes and glanced at the gate of the Gu Palace. It was really majestic. At first glance, the Gu Palace looked like a city, but it was built against the mountain.
Xiao Chengyi straightened his sleeves and walked over calmly.
The guard guarding the door bowed when he saw the visitor and called: "High Priest."
"Um."
Xiao Chengyi responded, handed over the token in his arms and said: "I am here on your Majesty's order."
The guard had already received the news and knew that the high priest was coming today. He picked up the token without checking it. Instead, he turned around and put the token into the groove on the wall. He turned the door gently and slowly opened it.
Xiao Chengyi's expression remained unchanged. Before he came, the high priest told him that he only needed to hand the token to the guard. He thought that the guard wanted to check the authenticity of the token, but it turned out that the token was the key to open the door.
If the token is fake, you will definitely not be able to enter the gate.
The guard took out the token, presented it to Xiao Chengyi with both hands, and said: "Please, high priest."
Xiao Chengyi nodded, he put the token in his arms, then turned around and entered the gate of King Gu Palace. After walking in, he heard a bang and the door closed behind him.
The surroundings were very quiet and there were no guards, but it gave people a very strange feeling.
However, Xiao Chengyi had already been mentally prepared. There were many agencies along the way and there were no guards guarding him. The core of the guards were near the Gu King Hall.
Xiao Chengyi followed the road at his feet and walked forward for a while, when he saw eight forks in the road that looked like caves.
These eight forked roads come from the Eight Diagrams in the Book of Changes, namely: Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui.
Corresponds to heaven, earth, wind, thunder, water, fire, mountains, and lakes.
Of these eight roads, only one is a way of life, and the others are all roads of death.
Fortunately, the high priest had told him before he came, which one to choose? Otherwise, he might have narrowly escaped death in this level.
Xiao Chengyi scanned the signs at the entrances of the eight caves, and then walked towards the cave with the Genshan symbol painted on it.
The cave is a bit dark, but luckily a torch was placed at the entrance.
Xiao Chengyi walked in with a torch and remembered the words of the high priest: "I can only help you up to this point. Although you chose to survive, there are still many traps along the way. The only thing left is to rely on yourself.
If your identity is exposed and you can't get through, you will have no choice but to die!"
Xiao Chengyi knew that what he had to face next was the real test, because the remaining levels were not as simple as choices.
But when he thought that Yan Yan was here, he had nothing to fear!
The cave was not deep, and Xiao Chengyi soon saw the light, but he suddenly became cautious and even walked much slower.
When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, Xiao Chengyi hung the torch on the wall, then stuck his head out and looked outside.
Not far from the cave entrance, I saw a huge tiger lying down.
It is said that this is a beast controlled by the Gu Palace with Gu insects. It can recognize people's scents and will not attack if they are familiar people, but if they are strangers, they will be entangled by this tiger.
This is exactly what the high priest said, why he couldn't help him. No matter how similar Xiao Chengyi's disguise technique is, it's impossible for him to have the same aura.
