The old Daoist looked at me viciously and said with a stern voice, "Brat, how did you cure the corpse poison?"
I hate this old Daoist for harming me, so I naturally won't tell him the truth. Resisting the pain in his arm, he gritted his teeth and said, "How would I know? I am just an ordinary person. How do I know something that even the people in your Celestial Sect of Wonders can't explain? "
The old Daoist Priest stared at me with a ruthless gaze. I also put my life on the line and fearlessly looked back at him.
Lin Ziqiang suddenly spoke up, "Master, the corpse poison in my body was caused by my soul fire. Could it be that this boy is the same?"
The old Daoist hesitated for a moment. After all, the soul fire was too strange.
Maybe Lin Ziqiang's words moved him, or maybe he didn't see anything in my eyes.
The old Daoist threw me onto the ground and said, "Tie him up!" Following that, he smiled sinisterly at me and said, "Since the poison won't kill you, I'll personally send you on your way!"
Lin Ziqiang took out a rope from his remaining backpack, tied me up, and then went behind my back to check.
Suddenly, I felt something hard in my hand being stuffed into it. I subconsciously held it and saw Lin Ziqiang wink at me.
I was confused by Lin Ziqian's forceful actions. I touched the object in my hand. It was actually a small knife.
What exactly does Lin Zizheng mean by this? Why did he tie me up and give me a knife? Was he trying to help me escape? Did he say that on purpose?
But why did he help me? Could it be that he wasn't Lin Ziqiang?
When the old Daoist saw that Lin Zizi had forcefully tied me up, he said, "It's about time, let's go into the tomb." Brother Leng, we will have to see how you do it! "
Mr. Leng smiled and said, "Sir, please take a good look!" With that, he took the lead and walked towards the stone bridge.
Snowy landed behind me and whispered, "Hu Tianyi, we've let you down. You …"
I was in a bad mood as I interrupted Xiao Xue. "There's no need to say anymore. We can just leave it to fate."
Snowy also heard the unhappiness in my words. She bit her lower lip, and tearfully cried. After being silent for a while, she said, "Do you have any other wishes? If I can get out of here alive, I'll do my best to help you. "
Hearing Snowy's words, I couldn't help but think of Uncle Lin. If Uncle Lin knew that I had died here, he would definitely be heartbroken. I had yet to repay him for raising me, but now he wanted me to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person.
My heart was also filled with sadness. I tried my best to hold back my tears as I said, "If you have the chance to go to Guangzhou, help me take care of Uncle Lin."
As we spoke, we were at the end of the bridge.
The stone bridge was carved from white jade and was more than three meters wide. There were cloud patterns carved on both sides of the bridge and countless immortals were dancing around. The stone was extremely beautiful and lifelike, if one looked at it from a distance, it would seem as if countless immortals were welcoming the arrival of the Celestial King!
The old Daoist intended to go directly to the bridge, but he was stopped by Mister Leng, who said, "The road to becoming an immortal is as difficult as ascending the heavens. Since this bridge is known as the path to becoming an immortal, then there must be something amiss!"
The old Daoist nodded and said, "Brother Leng is right, I was indeed careless. I wonder if Brother Leng has any ways of resolving this?"
Mr. Leng said in a deep voice, "I really don't know about that. However, since this Reincarnation Heart is known as the key to the tomb, I'm sure it can open the passage to the stone bridge!"
The old Daoist said, "That's right. If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Leng."
Mr. Leng did not refuse. Holding the jade wall, he summoned a white light to envelop himself completely as he began to carefully inspect the stone bridge.
The old Daoist stared closely at Mr. Leng's actions, as if he was afraid of what Mr. Leng was up to.
In my heart, I felt that Mr. Leng was not worth it and could not help but mock him: "Boss Leng, check carefully, don't leave any traps to kill this old Daoist."
When Mr. Leng heard this, he did not even look at me. His hands continued to move as he said, "Brat, there's no need to use such provocation on us. It's useless."
On the other hand, the old Daoist laughed, "It seems that you are still unwilling to give up. However, it doesn't matter, as you are about to die, I will not bother with you."
When I saw that I couldn't stop him, I felt helpless. Lowering my head, I tried to think of a way to escape from this predicament. This Lin Zieqiang is too strange, and I don't know what his purpose is. Even if he gave me a knife, I wouldn't dare to use it carelessly. At first, I thought that I was bound to die, but now, this corpse poison seems to have been dispelled by my jade pendant, leaving me with a chance to live, yet, losing my life in the hands of this old Daoist.
Just as my mind was in a state of chaos, I heard Mr. Leng say, "Ninth Master, there doesn't seem to be any traps on this Immortal Path!" His voice was full of confusion, as if he was wondering why there were no traps.
The old Daoist frowned and said, "On the way here, which step wasn't heavily guarded? How could this place be so safe?" "Could it be …" Although the old Daoist didn't finish his sentence, we all knew what he meant. He was just saying that this Mister Leng didn't know what he was talking about, and that he couldn't lose face for him.
Mr. Leng did not mind at all. He smiled and said, "Ninth Master, please be at ease. I can't find any traps with this Reincarnation Heart. If there really is one, I'm sure we won't be able to deal with it with our abilities."
The old Daoist gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Leng's family history is as follows. Since Brother Leng has said, there shouldn't be any danger, so let's go into the tomb together."
I naturally wasn't willing to be killed like this. I couldn't help but sneer: "Old Daoist, you should be careful not to die because of Leng Ying. When that time comes, he'll take all the treasures for himself."
The old Daoist Priest was sinister and vicious. He was originally not of the same mind with this Mister Leng, but this old Daoist was a wise man. He knew that breaking off from Mister Leng was suicidal, so even if he didn't believe him, he had to endure it.
The old Daoist Priest fiercely glared at me and ignored me. He said to Mister Leng, "Brother Leng is more familiar with this tomb than we are. You have to first look at your methods!"
The meaning of the old Daoist Priest's words was still to have Mister Leng scout.
Mr. Leng seemed to be unable to make out the meaning behind the old Daoist Priest's words. He lightly smiled and said, "Ninth Elder is right. Everyone, please take a look at my methods!"
Before Mr. Leng could finish his words, the cliff under our feet suddenly shook. Everyone was shocked, and Snowy exclaimed, "What's going on?"
Before they could react, they suddenly heard the sound of a cold wind blowing in from the outside.
The old Daoist's expression changed greatly and he exclaimed, "Not good, there is a change in yin energy." Brother Leng, what's going on? "
Mister Leng's face also paled. Upon hearing the old Daoist's words, he could not help but say, "It seems that there is a change in the princess' tomb!"
Suddenly, Mr. Leng screamed miserably as he threw out the Reincarnation Heart in his hand. He covered his hands and his entire body was trembling, as if the Reincarnation Heart had been stung.
After being thrown out, the Reincarnation Heart strangely stopped in midair. Streams of black gas were circling around it. In an instant, the snow-white Reincarnation Heart was dyed black.
Just at that moment, just as the Reincarnation Heart turned black, the surrounding cold wind actually calmed down in an instant, and immediately, green Soul Fire actually emitted from the heart of the Reincarnation Heart. The Soul Fire this time was completely different from the last time. At first glance, one would feel as if their soul had been sucked out of their body. If they were to meet, they would definitely lose their lives!
The moment the Soul Fire appeared, it quickly spread to its surroundings.
The old Daoist was shocked and quickly shouted, "Quickly enter the tomb!"
We ignored everything else and ran for the bridge. My hands were tied, so naturally, my running speed slowed by quite a bit. In a moment of desperation, I couldn't care less and hurriedly used the knife in my hand to cut the rope.
However, the wood was too tight and the knife was too small to cut through. I cursed Lin Ziqiang in my heart. If you really wanted to save me, why did you tie me up so tightly?
My hands were too slow to run and I was at the back. Just as the Soul Fire was about to reach me, Xiao Xue suddenly turned around and pulled me away to avoid the Soul Fire.
I was grateful in my heart, but I didn't dare stop my steps. I continued to sprint forward and my hands didn't stop moving. I finally cut the rope that was tied to my body and stretched out my hand to pull Xiao Xue to accelerate forward.
There was only half of the jade bridge, and just as the old Daoist Priest was about to reach the end, he suddenly disappeared. I was shocked and subconsciously wanted to stop but the Soul Fire behind me didn't give me the chance to stop. I was about to burn it.
I gritted my teeth, grabbed Snowy's hand, and rushed towards the place where the old Taoist had disappeared.
I felt like I had just passed through a layer of water. My whole face was cold and I couldn't help reaching out to touch it, but I couldn't feel anything. Startled, I couldn't help but turn my head around to look. Behind me was a vast expanse of white. The jade bridge that I came across had disappeared, and the soul fire seemed to have never appeared before. It was as if I had come to another world.
Snowy was also extremely surprised and she could not help but ask: "Where is this place?"
I was also completely at a loss. Could it be that I've reached the illusion again?
I couldn't help but look around me. I was surrounded by a vast expanse of white. Aside from me and Xiao Xue, there was no one else. The old Taoist who entered in front of us had already disappeared without a trace!
Curious, I asked Xiao Xue, "How come your master and the rest disappeared as well?"
Snowy was also shocked and confused. She couldn't help but ask, "Master, Senior Brother, where are you?"
The surroundings were completely silent. There was no reaction at all.
Xiao Xue couldn't help but panic in her heart. She asked, "Just what kind of place is this?"
I wasn't confident and just when I was panicking, the white light suddenly changed.
The white light in the distance began to darken, slowly turning into the shape of a road. It was hard to tell where this road led to.
Xiao Xue and I looked at each other. "Do you want to see where this road leads to?"
My heart was thumping, but this expanse of whiteness looked really creepy. Even though this road appears so strange, it might be the only way out.
I clenched my teeth and said, "We'll fight it out and continue along this path. We'll have to take a look first."
Xiao Xue was also helpless and couldn't help but nod her head when she heard my words.
