The procession of the bride-to-be was not moving very fast.
Jiang Ran and others followed easily.
But the more I followed, the more I felt like the group in front of me didn't look like living people.
Although at first glance, he behaves just like ordinary people.
But if you look closely, you can see that their joints are very stiff.
The legs are straightened and there is some back-bending movement, but the amplitude is very small.
And the movements are too uniform.
It seemed that after receiving a certain instruction, everyone began to perform the same actions.
When they stopped to check before, they all turned around at the same time.
Then he left in a neat and tidy manner, without any unnecessary movements.
The most important thing is... until now, Jiang Ran can only hear the sound of gongs and drums.
Not even a single breath or heartbeat was heard.
"Could it be...that they are really a group of dead people?"
Jiang Ran touched his chin and murmured to himself.
Luo Qingyi frowned slightly:
"Sir, there are no dead people in this world that you can touch."
Jiang Ran nodded and agreed with this sentence.
Although as a time traveler, you should actually believe in some ghosts and gods.
After all, as a modern person, he can travel to this kind of martial arts world, so why can he not believe in ghosts and gods?
But Jiang Ran just doesn't believe it...
Especially when you are in the world of martial arts, you would rather believe that people's hearts are sinister than that of ghosts and gods.
"Who knows if there is..."
At this time, Li Tianxin couldn't help but whisper:
"If we really want to continue chasing, what should we do if we catch up to some weird place?
"Jiang Ran... your martial arts are very good, so you can easily deal with people.
"But if you face any monsters, it's hard to tell."
Ruan Yuqing lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, saying nothing.
He just held on to his sword tightly, with the intention of drawing out his sword if he had any disagreement.
"Even if I really catch up to the Palace of Hell today, I still want to satisfy my curiosity."
Jiang Ran smiled and said:
“It’s definitely not a normal person to do such a trick.
"Maybe it's a big fish, let's take a look first...but you better not follow it."
"Of course this is impossible."
Ruan Yuqing said lightly:
"I stay by your side just to protect you. How can I abandon you and let you risk yourself?"
Li Tianxin sighed:
"Okay, okay, you are all brave. Then I will go with you too..."
Mr. Da is really like a transparent person.
I stood aside and didn't even bother to record it.
Just watching quietly, waiting...
The two sides walked in tandem, and the further they walked, the more remote and secret the surrounding area became. The trees gradually became denser and denser, blocking out the sky and the sun. Even the moonlight could not penetrate, and it was almost impossible to see the five fingers.
Fortunately, there was that faint green light in front of me, as well as the constant sound of gongs and drums.
Jiang Ran and other talents will not be lost.
After walking like this for a while, Jiang Ranyue walked at least another ten miles of mountain road.
The sound of gongs and drums in front suddenly stopped.
Everyone looked up and saw that there was a huge open space deep in the forest, and a small town had been built.
The town gate is wide open, allowing people to pass through.
Looking up, you can see three big characters: Wujian Town!
"Infinite Town... Infinite Hell!?"
Li Tianxin's face turned slightly pale: "Jiang Ran, you don't want to go in, do you?"
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment.
It is possible to enter this town. The only problem is that they are not from here.
I'm just afraid that once I enter the town, there will be some trouble.
The only good thing is that there is no one in this town at this time.
Lanterns are hung in every house, and the flames of the lanterns also have that faint green light.
The wedding reception team marched straight into Wujian Town.
At the same time, the sound of crying suddenly came from the eight-carrying sedan chair:
"What is this place?
"Help...help!"
This was a woman's cry, her voice full of anxiety and fear.
What shocked Jiang Ran the most was that when the sound came out, Jiang Ran discovered that the sound of a heartbeat suddenly came from the sedan.
It was as if there was only a dead person in the sedan, but after crossing this threshold, the person suddenly became alive!
"How is this going?"
Jiang Ran frowned slightly and turned to ask:
"Is there any martial arts like Turtle Breathing in this world?"
"Of course there is..."
Ruan Yuqing steeled herself to answer Jiang Ran while staring at the three words 'Wu Jian Town' with her brows furrowed.
Jiang Ran pondered slightly and looked at Mr. Da aside:
"Mr. Da, have you ever heard of this place?"
Mr. Big shook his head slightly:
"Never heard of it."
"You lied to me?"
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows.
Mr. Da laughed dryly: "It's true that I have never heard of it, and I don't know what is going on. Although Wenmoge knows a lot of things, it is impossible to take everything into his hands. Otherwise, I don't have to follow you.
Isn’t it?”
Jiang Ran knew that he really couldn't get anything good out of Mr. Da.
After pondering for a while, he said:
"I plan to go into the town to explore. It's hard to predict what's going on here, so you better not follow me."
After he finished speaking, his figure flickered, and everyone saw that he had disappeared in a flash. When he reappeared, he was already outside the city wall of Wujian Town.
Luo Qingyi followed Jiang Ran without thinking.
Mr. Big is also following suit.
It was time for Li Tianxin and Ruan Yuqing to meet again, but this time, before Li Tianxin could even express his stance, Ruan Yuqing had already flown away.
Li Tianxin gritted his teeth:
"Why are they all so determined to have their own way?"
He took one last look at Wujian Town and took a deep breath:
"...You can't just watch me die, right?"
After saying these words, he opened his eyes, and his eyes were filled with the determination to live towards death.
His body swayed and he chased after him.
The group stopped outside the city wall of Wujian Town.
Jiang Ran looked back and saw that not a single one was missing.
He couldn't help but feel happy and said softly:
"Everyone be careful and let everyone rely on their abilities."
After saying this, he stepped on his foot and nine steps of the heavenly stem came out.
The figure turned into overlapping shadows, all the way up.
But in the blink of an eye, he had already jumped over the city wall.
Luo Qingyi has three skills, one is Qinggong, the other is boxing, and the last one is the family heirloom clothes he wears.
His Qinggong is still superior to Jiang Ran's.
At that time, in Cangzhou Mansion, he sent a message to Jiang Ran, but Jiang Ran found him and chased him out.
If his internal strength wasn't inferior to Jiang Ran's, maybe Jiang Ran wouldn't be able to catch up with him.
The performance at this time was really powerful, even much easier than Jiang Ran's Heavenly Stem Nine Steps.
As a master of the Shuiyue Sword Sect, Ruan Yuqing is naturally extraordinary.
She was light and ethereal, with graceful posture. With her sleeves fluttering, she had already landed next to Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran raised his head at this moment and saw a figure falling from the sky, his toes touching the ground, not even a speck of dust was stirred up.
It’s Li Tianxin!
Jiang Ran glanced at him in surprise:
"I've never seen you use this Qing Kung skill before."
"There are so many things you haven't seen before."
Li Tianxin snorted: "I've always kept it secret."
Jiang Ran looked at him carefully, but really couldn't see where he was hiding.
After waiting for another two breaths, Mr. Da was not seen.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Ran said:
"No wait... Mr. Da is not with us after all. He might not be planning to come in. Let's go.
"Just now I saw where the sedan went."
"good."
As the saying goes, take care of things as they come.
Before I came in, I went through all kinds of psychological struggles, but after I actually came in, I felt a lot calmer.
Under the leadership of Jiang Ran, the group of people rushed towards the location of the eight-carrying sedan chair.
Along the way here, there was really no sign of anyone.
After walking forward for a moment, I saw the wedding team arriving in front of a palace.
Go through the gate and go deeper.
Jiang Ran and others were about to catch up when they heard a crash.
The door was actually closed directly.
Jiang Ran and others looked at each other and without hesitation, they immediately flew up and crossed the outer wall of the palace.
Stepping into it again, we were trapped in narrow alleys.
The walls of the narrow alley are dark red, with golden patterns engraved on them.
"this……"
Luo Qingyi frowned: "What is this place?"
"Did you see the name of this palace clearly when you were outside?"
Li Tianxin asked quickly.
Ruan Yuqing shook his head and was about to speak when he heard Jiang Ran say:
"This place is called...Ghost Palace!"
"Ghost Palace?"
Ruan Yuqing frowned: "Why does it sound familiar..."
"you have heard?"
Jiang Ran asked quickly.
Ruan Yuqing nodded, but then shook his head:
"I think I've heard of it, but I can't remember it."
Jiang Ran pondered slightly, then suddenly thought about it, and was about to reach out to grab Ruan Yuqing.
Suddenly, Luo Qingyi shouted angrily:
"who?"
Anyone?
Jiang Ran was stunned, why didn't he hear it?
Luo Qingyi was seen flying away, fists clenched, and in a roar he had arrived at the end of the alley, followed by an angry shout:
"Where to go!?"
Jiang Ran thought together:
"No...don't chase!"
He moved forward and walked quickly, but when he arrived at the entrance of the alley, Luo Qingyi had disappeared.
He immediately flew up and looked around.
It is impossible for a living person to disappear out of thin air like this.
However, the two places on the left and right are all narrow alleys, but there is no trace of Luo Qingyi.
He was condescending and quickly turned back to look at Ruan Yuqing and Li Tianxin.
But they found that Ruan Yuqing was still standing there, but Li Tianxin was nowhere to be seen...
"Where's Li Tianxin?"
Jiang Ran jumped back and asked quickly.
Ruan Yuqing looked at Jiang Ran strangely:
"Young Master Li is right here."
She pointed to the empty space and asked Jiang Ran:
"What's wrong with you? Can't you see?"
Jiang Ran let out a breath and reached out to hold Ruan Yuqing's wrist.
As soon as the creation was right, Ruan Yuqing's eyes suddenly flashed with confusion. When he came back to his senses, he discovered that Li Tianxin, who was still standing next to him, holding a knife and waving in front of Jiang Ran's eyes, actually seemed to
Dissipated like clouds and smoke without a trace!
"this……"
Ruan Yuqing's face changed:
“Ghost Palace!!
"This is the 'Ghost Wall' of the Ghost Palace!"
"Haunted Wall?"
Jiang Ran looked at Ruan Yuqing and said, "Have you remembered the situation in the Ghost Palace?"
Ruan Yuqing nodded repeatedly:
"I must have been deceived by the obsessed ghost wall just now. I forgot all the rumors about the Ghost Palace...
"However, even if I think about it, there are very few rumors about this place.
"I only know that there is a ghost king sitting in this ghost king's palace.
"The Ghost King's martial arts are unfathomable, and he seems to be inextricably linked to the Wuxin Ghost Mansion.
"According to people who claimed to have escaped from the Ghost Palace, the Ghost Palace is shrouded in a wall of obsessed ghosts.
“When you step into it, you will be trapped in a ghost realm, and everything you see and hear seems to be real or illusory.
“Therefore, do not believe what your eyes see, nor what your ears hear.
"Only in this way can we have a chance of escaping from the Ghost Palace."
"What a fascinating ghost wall..."
Jiang Ran sneered:
"It's just some evil techniques that act on the spirit. I'm very familiar with this method."
No matter how long it took, Jiang Ran would never forget the scene in the Tang family that day.
The feeling of being blinded by a leaf is just like what Ruan Yuqing said just now. It seems that I have heard of it, but it seems to be blocked by something and I just can't remember it.
It was also because of this thought that Jiang Ran wanted to use the Zhengxin Sutra to help her eliminate illusions and preserve reality.
As a result, Luo Qingyi was fascinated by this illusion first.
But...what happened to Li Tianxin?
Did he disappear in front of Ruan Yuqing?
Was it a plot by the agency, or was someone here just now?
Jiang Ran guessed that it was probably the former.
If it was the latter, there was no way Jiang Ran wouldn't notice it at all.
He thought for a moment and said to Ruan Yuqing:
"Now that we're here, we have to figure out the matter about the Ghost Palace.
"But before that, we have to do something else."
"What's up?"
Ruan Yuqing asked.
Jiang Ran glanced at the golden pattern on the wall next to him and said softly:
"Maybe the pattern on the wall is the key, just like the murderous sticker, which can make people fall into an illusion that is both real and fake.
"My Creation Zhengxin Sutra is the nemesis of such methods.
"Even Shi Pingzhang's murderous stickers and the chaotic funeral stickers have no effect on me.
"And now I have two ways to remove this method...
"One is the Zhengxinzhi.
"It's just that the Zhengxin Finger works for a while. I don't know if you will fall into this illusion again. At the same time, I can't guarantee that I will monitor your state all the time.
"The other kind is like now... I use the inner power of the Right Heart Sutra of Creation to keep your mind right at all times.
"It's just that you and I have to keep holding on to you like this."
"Hold..."
Ruan Yuqing then remembered that Jiang Ran was still holding her hand.
His face suddenly turned red.
After hesitating for a moment, he said:
"The right finger is the finger you used to remove the murderous heart patch for me?"
"Exactly."
Jiang Ran nodded slightly.
Ruan Yuqing was silent for a moment:
"Let's hold it for now... I'm not worried that this obsessed ghost wall will take me away.
"If it shows me that you are my opponent, it will draw its sword against you in the end.
"That would be very troublesome.
"We are in a dangerous situation now, and we can avoid any trouble we can."
Jiang Ran nodded: "I think so too, I'm just worried that you think I'm taking advantage of you."
"... Just take it, I'm almost used to it."
Ruan Yuqing sighed:
"First I was teased by your words, and now it's your skin.
"I tell you, you are not allowed to tell others these things. Otherwise, where will my Roushuijian's face be?"
"Holding hands counts as skin-to-skin contact?"
Jiang Ran's eyes widened.
"Then what counts?"
Ruan Yuqing was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth: "Don't think so wildly."
"...On weekdays, you are the only one who likes to think wildly. I am a very pragmatic person."
Jiang Ran frowned slightly: "This is not the place to talk. Li Tianxin and Luo Qingyi are missing. We must find them first to make sure they are safe, especially Luo Qingyi..."
"Oh? I thought you and Li Shaoxia had a better relationship."
Ruan Yuqing was a little surprised.
Jiang Ran glanced at her:
"How do you see that Li Tianxin and I have a better relationship?
"But I'm worried about Luo Qingyi, not just because of our good relationship.
"It's just because...Luo Qingyi is far less unpredictable than Li Tianxin.
"I've been watching Li Tianxin recently, and I always feel like I've seen him somewhere in the past."
"kindness?"
Ruan Yuqing was stunned: "I heard that you have a photographic memory, and you can recognize Yishin's sword in Jinzun Tower just once. If it is someone you have met, you will not forget it, right?"
"That's what's weird."
Jiang Ran shook his head slightly and did not continue to say the next words.
He felt that Li Tianxin looked familiar, not because of the man's appearance.
It's because of some behaviors.
At first, it was because the way he walked seemed like I had seen him somewhere.
But I can't remember it.
Looking back later, I discovered that Li Tianxin walked like that only once.
In addition, he observed carefully and could always find some familiar shadows in some of his daily behaviors.
It's just that this impression is very weak. Jiang Ran can't think of when or where he has seen a similar appearance.
In addition, Li Tianxin’s identity is extremely mysterious.
There seems to be some reason to follow him, but it seems that it is not enough.
This also made Jiang Ran have a certain degree of speculation about Li Tianxin's identity.
Unfortunately, the content mastered is too little.
Even Jiang Ran couldn't rule out whether this was his own random thinking.
But overall, this person, as he said himself, must be hiding everything.
Therefore, even if he goes missing, Jiang Ran is not particularly worried.
He was afraid of ghosts, not people. No matter how weird this place was, it was just someone pretending to be a ghost.
If he meets someone here, it may not be who is the unlucky one.
Thinking of this, he said softly:
"Without further ado, let's go."
Ruan Yuqing nodded.
The two of them clasped their fingers together and started walking along the narrow alley, trying to find any traces that Luo Qingyi or Li Tianxin might have left.
But the surrounding environment seems to be exactly the same, without any difference.
And when he walked around, he seemed to be wandering in the same place.
Jumping to a higher place to take a look, I found that the scope of this narrow alley was actually not very large.
It is surrounded by the inner side of the palace wall, guarding a circle. It is very long but very narrow in width.
However, the construction was extremely weird, and Ruan Yuqing recognized that this should be a specially built formation based on the principles of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams.
If you don't know how to break the formation, you won't be able to get out even until dawn.
