"A handsome young man with a black hood covering his eyes, carrying a black and gold ancient sword on his back," Gu Tianchen said with a shrug.
Shen Qingzhu: ...
Gu Tianchen looked at Lin Qiye and asked with a smile, "Aren't you the Innate Opening Gate Saint Body? You can even open the Boundless Void with a single glance. Why don't you try glaring at it? Maybe the door will open then?"
Lin Qiye said seriously, "I've already glared at you several times, but it's no use at all. Aren't you known as the most professional door-breaking expert in the Great Xia? Try your simplest and most brutal method."
Gu Tianchen rolled up his sleeves, looking eager to try, and said, "Don't provoke me, I can't stand being goaded."
"Anyway, I can't open it, so you do it if you can," Lin Qiye said with a shrug.
"Since your pupil unlock password is incorrect, I, the door-breaking expert, will have to step in. Everyone, step back."
Lin Qiye and Shen Qingzhu stepped back to the sides, and Gu Tianchen rolled up his sleeves, took a few steps back to get a running start, and charged at the bronze giant gate with all his might.
Boom!
A dull metallic clang rang out, as if someone had lifted a stone and smashed it against the bronze door.
With a flash of dark light, Gu Tianchen was sent flying backward, crashing towards Lin Qiye and Shen Qingzhu like a cannonball.
The two moved aside with perfect understanding, and Gu Tianchen fell heavily to the ground, creating a human-shaped crater.
Covered in dust and dirt, Gu Tianchen got up from the ground and looked at the two of them. "Are you two still brothers? Wasn't anyone going to stop me?"
Shen Qingzhu stood with her arms crossed, looking indifferent, and said, "You were the one who told us to step back a little later."
Gu Tianchen brushed the dust off his clothes and said seriously, "This door is too hard. Even Xia Simeng, that humanoid tyrannosaurus, might not be able to break it open. Let's wait for the key."
"Waiting for the key? Where is the key?" Lin Qiye asked, puzzled.
"Tianchen! Qiye! We're here!"
Baili Pangpang's voice had already reached us before he even arrived.
"Wow, I thought the gate of our Baili family was already quite impressive, but I didn't expect there to be such a majestic gate. Can I buy it and take it home?"
Baili Pangpang looked up at the magnificent bronze gate in front of him, drooling with envy.
Cao Yuan and the others were also deeply shocked by the enormous bronze gate before them.
"By the way, on our way here we saw the legendary ghost soldiers passing through. They were performing some kind of ancient ritual inside a strange magic circle. Did you see them?" Baili Pangpang asked with a smug look on his face.
“I saw it.” Shen Qingzhu nodded.
"He drew it." Lin Qiye pointed to Gu Tianchen beside him.
Baili Pangpang looked at Gu Tianchen with a shocked expression.
Gu Tianchen said smugly, "Hehe, it's just a simple exorcism array, nothing to mention."
"Damn it, you tricked me again!" Baili Pangpang was unwilling to give up.
"See? I told you it was for the deceased." Cao Yuan looked at Baili Pangpang while holding the knife, with an expression that said he had seen through everything.
An Qingyu adjusted her glasses and said, "The bluish-gray wall we just came through was a building from the Han Dynasty more than two thousand years ago, but this one..."
He was immediately awestruck by the massive bronze gate as soon as he entered, and began to analyze it using the only correct solution.
However, neither the materials nor the structure could be analyzed, as if it were not a product of human civilization at all.
"This gate is not something humans could create; it is a miracle. Only gods could create such a magnificent bronze gate." An Qingyu looked up at the huge bronze gate with curiosity.
"How do I open this door?" Li Deyang asked, scratching his head.
"Pupil unlocking failed, physical door removal also failed, it may be... that facial recognition is required." Gu Tianchen said to Li Deyang with a smile.
"Hey, you guys are so ignorant. These ancient and mysterious bronze doors usually require incantations to open. Watch me."
Baili Pangpang walked to the massive bronze gate, tactically cleared his throat, and shouted towards the gate with his hands cupped like megaphones:
"Mommy, Mommy, open sesame!"
The bronze door did not react at all.
Everyone: ...
Undeterred, Baili Pangpang frantically made hand seals and shouted at the bronze gate, "Taishang Laojun, may your decree be issued immediately!"
A gust of cold wind blew by, but the bronze gate remained unresponsive.
Gu Tianchen smiled and shook his head. "You logged into the wrong account. If you could log into your main account right now, you would definitely open it with just one look."
"Um... this door is definitely broken from years of neglect, no one can open it," Baili Pangpang said awkwardly.
Lin Qiye used his mental power to search and found the bloodstains left by the queen ant and the hole it left in the ground.
“I’ve found the burrow left by the queen ant. Since we can’t open the door, we can follow the ant hole and find the queen ant just the same way,” Lin Qiye said.
"it is good."
Everyone started walking towards the cave entrance, but Li Deyang stood there, staring silently at the giant bronze gate in front of him.
"Uncle Li, let's go, this door is broken, we can't open it," Baili Pangpang advised.
“I feel like I’ve seen this door somewhere before…” Li Deyang murmured.
"Uncle Li, stop joking. If you've seen this gate, then I've seen the South Heavenly Gate. If we don't catch up with Qi Ye and the others soon, we'll be far behind," Baili Pangpang urged.
hum! ! !
Just as Li Deyang was about to leave with Baili Pangpang, the enormous bronze door began to tremble violently, emitting a loud buzzing sound, and slowly opened...
Chapter 139 Red Lotus Karmic Fire
"Ah, this..."
Everyone stared blankly as the massive bronze gate slowly opened.
Behind the bronze door, all was shrouded in darkness.
"Should we... still drill through the tunnel?" Li Deyang asked slowly.
"Since the door is open, let's go through the main entrance." Gu Tianchen carried his halberd and walked in first, followed closely by the others.
After walking along a cobblestone path, an ancient-style town came into view. It looked abandoned and somewhat dilapidated.
Baili Pangpang gripped Lin Qiye's arm tightly and involuntarily shivered.
"Hiss... It's so cold, and everything looks so eerie. Where am I?"
"Wait, I'll go ask for directions."
Gu Tianchen swung the Silver Dragon Halberd off his shoulder and aimed it at a point in the air. The sharp tip of the halberd gleamed coldly, as if threatening someone.
"Is he... alright?" Li Deyang asked with concern.
The others had gotten used to Gu Tianchen's daily erratic behavior.
"He's asking for directions," Cao Yuan said calmly, holding his sword.
"Ask for directions?" Li Deyang was completely bewildered. "There's not a soul around here, what are you asking for directions for?"
Cao Yuan carefully sensed his surroundings and said seriously, "The death aura here is several times denser than outside. There must be a large number of yin spirits, that is, ghosts."
Shen Qingzhu raised an eyebrow. "You, a monk who became a monk halfway through his life, also know about these things?"
Cao Yuan replied, "When I was practicing under Master Jin Chan, he taught me some methods of deliverance."
"Heh, with your raging forbidden void, it's probably a physical exorcism," Shen Qingzhu sneered.
Gu Tianchen sheathed the Silver Dragon Halberd and walked over.
"I asked, this is Fengdu."
"Huh? Aren't we in an underground space in the primeval forest of Northeast China? How did we end up in the southwest? This doesn't look like a place where you can have hot pot," said Baili Pangpang.
Lin Qiye said seriously, "The Fengdu he mentioned refers to the ghost city in the underworld."
"What?"
"I've done good deeds all my life, so even if I die, I'll be a god in heaven. How could I end up in Fengdu, the underworld?"
Baili Pangpang looked around in horror. "If this really is the legendary Fengdu, there must be ghosts here, right?"
"Otherwise, who do you think I asked for directions from just now?" Gu Tianchen asked with a smile.
"Tianchen, what does a ghost... look like?" Baili Pangpang asked curiously.
"You have the Eye of True Sight, why don't you put it on and see for yourself?" Gu Tianchen said with a shrug.
Baili Pangpang took out the Eye of True Sight from his free space, but hesitated for a long time before finally deciding not to wear it.
"Forget it, curiosity killed the cat, I'd better not watch it."
As Baili Pangpang spoke, he was about to retract the Eye of True Sight.
"Give me."
Shen Qingzhu snatched the glasses from his hand and put them on herself.
All around them, countless ghosts cautiously observed them.
Some peeked out from behind doors, while others hid behind trees, whispering amongst themselves.
They looked no different from when they were alive, only somewhat illusory, like holographic projections.
Suddenly, a dark figure rushed over and pounced straight at Baili Pangpang.
"Watch out, Fatty!"
Shen Qingzhu grabbed Baili Pangpang by the collar and pulled him away, causing the dark figure to miss its target.
Apart from Gu Tianchen and Shen Qingzhu, no one else on the field could see the vengeful ghost exuding black yin energy.
"Damn it, are you tired of living? You dare to possess this person?" Gu Tianchen held the Silver Dragon Halberd and stood in front of the crowd.
Because they have been trapped here for too long without entering the cycle of reincarnation, many of the spirits have absorbed a large amount of yin energy and transformed into ruthless ghosts who have lost their minds and begin to attack indiscriminately when they encounter the aura of living people.
Shen Qingzhu's eyes turned cold as she channeled her spiritual power, and the Soul-Severing Blade shot out from her hand, slashing at the vengeful ghost.
Unaware of the power of the Soul-Severing Blade, the vengeful ghost roared and lunged at Shen Qingzhu.
With a swift movement of her blade, Shen Qingzhu cleaved the malevolent ghost, which emanated an aura of yin energy, in two, causing it to vanish into thin air, its soul scattered.
The remaining spirits around, still retaining some sense of reason, scattered in fear upon seeing the formidable black blade in Shen Qingzhu's hand.
