The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 809 You don't know where this place is?
As they were speaking, the little paper figure covered the light of the orb as Yunran had requested, and then took out the miner's lamps they had prepared earlier.

Unsurprisingly, the light from the miner's lamp, scattered throughout the space, seemed to be swallowed up.

This won't have a big impact on Yunran and the ginseng fruit, but it's a big problem for Xie Xuzhi.

The instant the light from the sphere disappeared, Xie Xuzhi felt strange, grotesque things floating around in front of him, like seeing tiny people after eating a poisonous mushroom.

Immediately afterwards, it felt like a branding iron had been placed on his chest, and he groaned out unexpectedly.

This situation is normal for other people.

However, for someone like Xie Xuzhi, who has an extremely high tolerance for hardship, it becomes somewhat serious.

"Director Xie, what's wrong?"

The little paper figure next to Xie Xuzhi was startled by the sudden sound he made.

"fine."

Xie Xuzhi calmly pulled out the jade Guanyin pendant hanging around his neck, and the burning sensation lessened considerably.

At the same time, the strange scenes before my eyes disappeared.

As soon as Xie Xuzhi finished speaking, the ball of light that Mo Zhi had created lit up again.

Yunran got the answer she wanted and finally had time to care about Xie Xuzhi.

She turned her head and saw Xie Xuzhi holding the rope of the jade Guanyin.

Yun Ran finally remembered that Xie Xuzhi was a fragile character in the Xuanmen sect, and she had forgotten to remind him to close his eyes.

Especially now, seeing Xie Xuzhi pulling on the rope, it's obvious he's been hit, which is why the Jade Guanyin is reacting.

When Yunran first saw this jade Guanyin, she was drooling.

Only a family like the Xie family, with nearly a thousand years of history, would be willing to carry such a treasure on their person as a defensive magical artifact.

This is something that a Taoist family could keep in their treasure vault and pass down as a heirloom.

"Is it really okay?"

When she asked this question, Yunran felt a little guilty.

"I'm absolutely certain, I'm really okay~"

The fact that Xie Xuzhi could still speak in this tone at this moment suggests that he is probably really alright.

Yunran immediately stopped blaming herself.

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "What did you just see?"

Neither she nor the ginseng fruit paper doll were affected, so naturally they couldn't see anything in places where the light sphere wasn't shining.

Originally, she didn't plan to investigate what was going on here, but now that Xie Xuzhi had fallen for it, she might as well find out.

Xie Xuzhi described in detail the scene he had witnessed.

Finally, he added, "It's a bit like the feeling I had when I got mushroom poisoning in the southwest."

Xie Xuzhi tried very hard to describe the previous scene as clearly as possible.

Yunran burst out laughing.

"No way! You, the eldest son of the Xie family, actually got poisoned by mushrooms? Your chef must be incredibly unprofessional!"

Xie Xuzhi was silent for a while before slowly saying, "That was an accident."

However, Xie Xuzhi did not pay attention to Yun Ran's obvious mockery.

What he didn't say was that since he was old enough to understand things, he had suffered many assassination attempts. As the eldest son of the Xie family, he was destined to suffer these things.

Therefore, whenever he travels, the personnel around him are always top-notch, even selected through multiple layers of screening.

Normally, it would be absolutely impossible for such a basic mistake to occur around him.

But the reality is so absurd and laughable. Who would have thought that the personnel and ingredients, which had undergone rigorous testing, would ultimately cause his poisoning simply because the knife used to cut the mushrooms wasn't thoroughly cleaned?
When Xie Xuzhi was poisoned by the mushrooms, all he could think about was who was trying to assassinate him this time.

When the review results came out, Xie Xuzhi felt like his brain had completely shut down, and a line of words immediately came to mind.

That is to say, this world is truly a makeshift operation.

Perhaps Yun Ran's expression was too joyful, because Xie Xuzhi said helplessly, "Is it that funny?"

"It's rare to see people of your caliber have such hilarious and absurd experiences. What's wrong with me just laughing? The odds of that happening are probably as low as winning the lottery."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Just as Yunran was laughing uncontrollably, Baihu suddenly burst out laughing as well.

Yunran: ...

Xie Xuzhi: ...

Ginseng fruit: ...

Then, everyone's gazes turned to the white tiger, whose smile seemed somewhat discordant.

"why are you laughing!"

Baihu was slapped again by Yunran, but the force of the slap was negligible to Baihu; it only added to his humiliation.

"I saw you laughing, so I laughed along with you."

Yunran slapped the white tiger again, speechless. She thought to herself, "Even if some guys become spirits, their thought processes are not the same as humans."

Not only were they slow to realize it, but they were also quite a spoilsport.

Yunran immediately stopped talking about Xie Xuzhi's previous embarrassing incident and changed the subject.

"How much longer until we can get out of here? I really don't like this place."

The white tiger also wanted to say that it didn't like this place either.

However, it just sensed that the woman on its back was somewhat disgusted with it, so it wouldn't continue talking about that.

How could a dignified Lord of the North Mountain possibly fawn over a human? Humph!
"It'll be a while. Although I'm moving very fast, this place is very big."

Yun Ran had no doubt about this. If this place wasn't big, there wouldn't be so many skeletons here.

As they walked, the ginseng fruit suddenly spoke up: "Are we going underground?"

Logically speaking, the creatures trapped here should not be able to sense anything.

But the ginseng fruit is different; it is not only a magical artifact but also a manifestation of intelligent life in a higher world.

Even when I ask him to scan something, he's always somewhere between reliable and unreliable.

But now, he clearly senses that they are constantly going downhill.

Upon hearing this question, Baihu paused for a moment in surprise, and then asked in a somewhat incredulous voice.

"You don't know where this place is?"

"Of course I know. It's the central area of ​​the Death Mountain. We came in from the underground palace, so how could we not know?"

The men in black robes knew that covering their eyes with black cloth was useless; they could still see clearly what was going on here.

The question Baihu asked and Yunran's answer were completely unrelated.

"No, that's not what I meant. What I meant was, didn't you know this place evolved from the Demon-Sealing Tower?"

Now it was Yunran's turn to be surprised.

"What?! We're inside the Demon-Sealing Tower?!"

　There will only be one update today.
