CH 103.1

“……” Xian Gu glared at Bai Lixin and Dijia.

Bai Lixin twitched at the corner of his mouth. “The goodbye was so soon, huh.”

Xian Gu: “Heh.”

Did she sin by sucking too much essence?

She was just being polite with them, she really didn’t want to see them again.

Compared to Xian Gu, who looked normal, the six soldiers were completely dumbfounded.

They looked left and right with panicked eyes, and looked at each other with shock.

–– Shit, we really came in!

—I’m bewitched, right?

–I’m stupid! I can’t believe I’m the one who turned out to be the fool!

— How were we also sucked in?

–It’s so cold here.

–Wow, this place is big! How come I didn’t notice it before?

In the distance was an endless white.

The whole area was wrapped in white, and the trees on the distant mountains were covered with thick snow.

The group was now standing at the foot of a flat mountain, and in the far front was a mountain forest.

The scene was exactly the same as what they had seen from outside the painting, except that they couldn’t see the Taoist and the foxes.

Bai Lixin looked around and saw a halo of light a short distance from their feet.

Xian Gu pointed to the circle of light: “That is the door, the door appears with the help of rhinoceros horn incense but only for a time. If you can’t leave here through the door within one hour, or if the rhinoceros horn incense goes out at some point, we will be trapped here forever.”

She paused for a few seconds and looked at Bai Lixin: “I know that you two are smart so you must have left someone to guard the incense before going in, right?”

Dijia looked embarrassed: “……”

“Yes, yes,” Bai Lixin turned and pointed to the six soldiers behind him, “they are all here now.”

“……” Xian Gu rubbed her face. “It’s okay, we can just go out now.”

Dijia finally straightened his face. “Yes. It happened suddenly, but that’s what I thought too.”

Bai Lixin sneered and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Dijia.

A man’s mouth is the king of deception.

Xian Gu saw Dijia order the soldiers to leave and spoke up: “Since it was a mistake, then I will also leave ah. It’s kind of cold, which isn’t good for my skin, so I’ll go back.”

With that, she took the lead and came to the door.

Just when she was about to step into the door, Xian Gu seemed to remember something and looked back at the two, “I hope I don’t see you again today.”

Nothing good happens every time I come across you. It’s just bad luck.

Xian Gu lifted her foot and gently stepped on the circle of light. She closed her eyes with a smile on her face, slowly waiting for the transmission.

Five seconds later, she opened her eyes, and the smile froze.

In her line of sight were two handsome men.

One of them smiled good-naturedly, “Oh, I didn’t expect that we’d meet so soon once again.”

Xian Gu: “……”

Fuck, please tell me, who is the God of Bad Luck? There must be a God of Bad Luck between you two!

Two minutes later, the crowd had to accept the fact that they could not leave for the time being.

Xian Gu said with a sad face, “This is a rare situation, this is a one-way door so we can only enter. The exit must be somewhere in this painting but finding it in this blanket of white is like finding a needle in a haystack. Why are we so unlucky? I’ve been through a lot of paintings but I’ve never come across this situation before.”

Bai Lixin blushed with embarrassment.

You want to see bad luck, right? You’ll see it today!

Surprised?

Impressed?

Bai Lixin opened the task bar. In the middle of the task bar was the event countdown, but the time in the upper right corner was ten times slower.

The original one second now took ten seconds to complete the transition.

As it is, the time flow in the world of the painting was one-tenth of that outside the painting.

One hour here was equivalent to ten hours outside.

But they were surrounded by snowy mountains so it would be difficult to find the foxes and then find the exit even if they had ten hours.

Bai Lixin: “There is no time to cry over spilt milk, time is short. Let’s go to the mountains and find those foxes and Taoist.”

A handsome-looking soldier spoke up, “Yeah, we might get lucky and find the exit as we walk. What does it mean to have more than one eye?”

Bai Xin suddenly wanted to cry.

Do you think I am Xia Chi?

Falling and finding the exit? I think falling into the wolf’s den is more likely.

———-

In the live broadcast room.

[hahaha. Xian Gu: Who is bringing me harm!

[ I’ll first rule out God Xin, so my answer is: the God of Bad luck!]

[God Xin: I’ve never been so speechless, kill me if I help you again. 】

[God Xin: This is unexpected, is my bad luck transmittable?]

[Soldier: Why don’t we try our luck?]

[God Xin:? Help, call Xia Chi!]

[Hahaha, you guys understand interpersonal communication.]

[Brother, I really want to help you, wuuu! You’re so unlucky.]

[All I look forward to now is not finding the foxes, but how to find the exit. I’m already dying of laughter hahaha!]

[Manners: Are you God Xin?]

———————–

The group walked through the calf-deep snow with difficulty.

As they walked, a deep row of footprints were left behind.

Thanks to the time in the painting being slower than the time outside the painting, it took one hour just climbing the mountain.

Inside the painting was ice and snow, outside the painting was the late summer and early autumn season. They weren’t wearing thick clothes when they came in, and they were all freezing.

In order to save physical strength, the soldiers and Dijia took turns to open the path, and the rest stepped in their footprints.

Fortunately, Bai Lixin was a hoarder. He took all the clothes that could keep out the cold and distributed them through the crowd, which helped reduce the chill.

Bai Lixin put on a heavy cloak made of red coral fleece, while the neckline was made of white fleece.

His face was a little red from cold, and it was flushed, much like a beautiful red apple.

Dijia walked beside Bai Lixin while watching him from the corner of his eyes.

It was his turn to be at the front and he tightened the thick black cloak Bai Lixin had given him. His eyes swept through the woods and he suddenly stopped.

Bai Lixin: “What is it?”

Dijia: “I saw a shadow flash by.”

He reached out and pointed ahead, “I saw the shadow go in that direction. It was so fast, but it looked like a fox.”

They had been walking for a long time and had just entered the woods.

Snow began to fall, and the light snow fell on the face, making his face numb from cold.

Pieces of snowflakes fell and piled up on a few of the plush cloak.

Bai Lixin looked back in the direction they came from. If this snow kept falling, their footsteps would soon be buried.

Bai Lixin: “Let’s go and see.”

Once they reached the mountain, the thickness of the snow was less because of the tree branches that blocked it from overhead.

The snow was ankle deep, and the resistance was less, so there was no need to continue stepping in each other’s footsteps.

The squeaks of shoes stepping on the snow was particularly loud in the vast and silent mountain.

They soon came to the place Dijia saw the shadow, and in front of them was a string of beast footprints.

Xian Gu: “It should be those foxes.”

She raised her head and looked around the scenery that was almost the same and said, “This old woman’s world is really big, as expected of a soon to be immortal, when will my painting world also be this big?”

“Soon to be immortal?” Bai Lixin glanced at Xian Gu, “she is not yet an immortal?”

Xian Gu rolled her eyes: “Do you think becoming an immortal is like buying tofu? It is not that easy, I told you before, there are many ways to cultivate. If I chose one of the easiest shortcuts, then this woman chose one of the most difficult paths, but also the path with the highest chance to ascend.”

“The path of faith.”

“Like my kind of cultivation, you can call it cultivation to sound good, but it is more like life continuation. In fact, I also know that by sucking male essence, the chance to become immortality is almost zero, but I was lazy during my lifetime, so I knew I’d be lazy after death.”

“This woman is different.” Xian Gu paused and said, “In fact, I don’t know if she is male or female, I talked to her several times but her sex is just a delusion. Sometimes she is male, other times she is female. Her appearances are reincarnations in the mundane world.”

Bai Lixin remembered the portrait in the plot replay at the temple. It was a man dressed in a white robe, with a compassionate smile on his face.

That should be the male phase.

And the painting they were in was her female phase.

Xian Gu continued: “This woman choose faith as the path of ascension, the more believers she has, the more incense and faith she receives. The stronger her power is, the greater the chance of ascension.”

“Through out the ages, many of those who have completed ascension have done so through this method.”

“But as I said, this method is too difficult. Why should they believe in you? Of course it’s because you are spiritual ah, so those who have chosen the ascension through faith have to run around helping believers.”

Xian Gu looked disgusted, “I found it troublesome to do things for myself when I was alive, not to mention helping others.”

“Those who take this path live laborious lives. Even if they become Immortals in the future, they don’t live peacefully.”

Xian Gu finished her bitter tirade a d wrapped her plush cloak around herself. She then looked at the fox footprints, “The footprints will soon disappear, so how are we going to find them? There are so many of us so they must be scared, right?”

Bai Lixin was about to speak when he suddenly stopped. He pricked up his ears and looked at the distant woods. “Listen, it sounds like someone is talking.”

They all stopped moving and sure enough, someone was talking in the distance blocked by trees!

How could that be?
