Zhao Hai could not help but feel a little disappointed when he heard what the two of them said. He sighed and said, " &Quot; it's a pity. I keep feeling that there's something wrong with this place. If we knew more about the spiritual array sect, it would be much easier for us. Now, we can only take the risk. &Quot; Zhao Hai had always felt that something was wrong. The moment he arrived, he felt as if he was being stared at by countless eyes. This made him very uncomfortable. However, he did not find any life here, which made him even weirder.
Hearing Zhao Hai's words, Yan Bei could not help but look around, and said in a low voice, " "What's wrong? What did you find?" Yan Bei knew Zhao Hai quite well. He knew that Zhao Hai would not say something like that for no reason. That was why he asked this question. He wanted to know what Zhao Hai had discovered.
However, Zhao Hai shook his head and said, " "I didn't find anything. In the previous places, I could see the restrictions and avoid them. But here, I didn't find anything. There's not a single restriction. This is the strangest thing. Even if the restrictions here have been destroyed, I should be able to see it. But now, there's nothing here. This is the strangest thing."
Hearing Zhao Hai's words, Yan Bei and Zhao Wuji's expressions turned serious. They did not think that Zhao Hai had made a mistake. Although they had not encountered any attacks along the way, and had not even encountered any restrictive spells, the two of them were very clear that this was not because there were no restrictive spells, but because Zhao Hai had dodged all of them. Such ability had shocked the two of them.
However, Zhao Hai did not see anything. This was even scarier than Zhao Hai seeing the restriction. They both knew that the more unknown something was, the scarier it was. Thus, the two of them had very serious expressions. They did not disturb Zhao Hai and just listened quietly.
Zhao Hai glanced at the manor and said in a deep voice, " "If we don't enter the tiger's lair, we won't be able to catch the Tiger Cub. We've already come this far, there's no reason for us to retreat. To be honest, even if we want to retreat now, I'm afraid it's impossible. I feel that ever since we entered this area, we've been noticed. We've been moving forward, but the path behind us has been cut off."
Zhao Hai did not turn his head, but spoke quietly. His words shocked Yan Bei and Zhao Wuji. When they turned around, their expressions changed completely. Behind them, a black fog had appeared. This black fog did not appear out of thin air. In other words, their escape route had been cut off.
"Little hai, what do we do now?" Yan Bei asked. Yan Bei had finally calmed down. He was a disciple of the bloody massacre sect. They had killed people before, and they had no lack of people. Hence, they were not afraid of death. Previously, they had always felt that they had no way out, so they had been half-hearted. Now that they had no way out, he was calm. No matter what happened, he would deal with it. Moreover, when he asked Zhao Hai what to do, it was not to say whether he should retreat, but to ask Zhao Hai what his next step should be.
Zhao Hai looked at the two of them and smiled, " "We're already in front of their house. If we don't go to their house and sit for a while, wouldn't we be looking down on the owner? Come, let's go in." After he finished speaking, he walked towards the manor. Yan Bei and Zhao Wuji followed behind Zhao Hai.
There was a small square in front of the manor. The square was paved with bluestone and was covered with moss. Zhao Hai and the others had already reached the square and walked into the manor. When they reached the gate of the manor, they saw the plaque that had been broken in half. The three of them were about to step over it when the two plaques suddenly stood up.
The signboard was originally very long. The medicine was more than three meters long and one meter wide. Now, the two signboards stood up, one on the left and one on the right. Then, the two words " Yin " and " yang " on the signboard slowly changed. They turned into the images of two old men. The word " yang " became the image of an old man, and the word " Yin " became the image of an old lady.
The old man cupped his fists at the three people on the plaque and said, " "Welcome, three guests. Please come in and rest." Their voices sounded very old and polite, like the old stewards of a family welcoming their guests. However, when their voices appeared on the two plaques, it sent chills down everyone's spine. Yan Bei and Zhao Wuji both moved, their fists ready. Their eyes were fixed on the two plaques, as if they were about to make a move.
Zhao Hai looked at the two boards indifferently and smiled. &Quot; "Interesting, very interesting. I think I know what the spiritual array sect is best at. My two senior brothers, there's no need to be so nervous. Since the master has sent someone to invite us in, we'll just go in. We've walked for so long, and I'm tired. Let's go." Then, he walked into the manor. Yan Bei and Zhao Wuji were stunned by Zhao Hai's actions. They looked at each other, put away their boxing stances, and followed Zhao Hai into the manor. When the three of them entered the manor, the two boards immediately fell to the ground. The old man and the old lady had disappeared, and everything returned to how it was before.
Zhao Hai and the others turned around to look but did not say anything. Zhao Hai looked at the courtyard again. It was very strange. There was a training field in the courtyard. On the left side of the training field, the ground was paved with black stone slabs. On the right side of the training field, the ground was paved with white stone slabs. In the middle of the training field, there was a Yin Yang fish pattern paved with black and white stone slabs. It was very beautiful.
Just as Zhao Hai and the others were about to step onto the stone slab, the stone slab suddenly stood up. Then, two short legs and two small hands emerged from the stone slab. Then, the stone slab began to run in all directions while shouting, " &Quot; run! They're going to stomp us to death! Run! &Quot; Following this sound, the stone slabs all disappeared without a trace.
Zhao Hai, Yan Bei, and Zhao Wuji stood at the entrance of the courtyard, stunned. They had never thought that the stone slabs in the courtyard would actually move. Just as they were at a loss for what to do, they suddenly heard two voices behind them, " "Bastard, why are you running? Come back and lie down, you embarrassing thing."
Zhao Hai and the other two quickly turned their heads and realized that it was the two dilapidated doors. The door that had fallen down had now stood up. Two human faces appeared on the two doors, and they were scolding the stone slabs with angry expressions. The stone slabs that had run to the side were all sticking their heads out and looking in this direction. Then, they walked back unwillingly and lay on the ground, returning to their stone slabs.
At this moment, a voice came from the courtyard, " "Guest, please come to the courtyard. These children were rude just now, please forgive them!" The voice was very gentle, like a gentle elder chatting with his guest. It was impossible to feel bad.
Zhao Hai smiled and cupped his fists. &Quot; "Many thanks!" After saying that, he walked forward. When his feet stepped on the stone slab, the stone slab would emit a sound of "ouch," as if a person's body was in pain. However, Zhao Hai didn't care. He just walked forward calmly because he could feel that these stone slabs were no different from ordinary stone slabs. The feeling was the same when he stepped on them.
Very quickly, they passed through the training grounds and arrived at the second door. The door was also wide open. Zhao Hai did not stand on ceremony and led Yan Bei and Zhao Wuji straight in. However, Yan Bei and Zhao Wuji's expressions did not look too good. This place was too strange. It was as if every blade of grass and tree here had its own consciousness.
They wouldn't be surprised if only plants had spiritual intelligence. After all, many plants had become demons after countless years. They had seen and heard of them. However, they had never heard of a stone becoming a demon. This was too strange.
When the three of them entered the second door, Yan Bei and Zhao Wuji were both stunned. This was a huge courtyard, and in this courtyard, there were all kinds of plants. These plants all moved without any wind, and some of them were even whispering to each other. What the two of them had said just now had come true. The plants here had really become demons.
In the middle of the courtyard, there was a place where the ground was covered with stone slabs. On the stone slabs, there was a stone table and a few stone stools. A cultivator was sitting on the stone stool. He wore a Daoist robe, but the robe was very old. On his head was a Daoist crown. In his hand, he was holding a book. When he saw them, he put down the book and turned to look at Zhao Hai and the others.
The moment he turned his head, Yan Bei and Zhao Wuji's expressions changed. This person's face seemed to have lost all moisture and had become extremely dry. His eyes were sunken into his eye sockets. This was not a person at all, but a dried corpse. In front of his chest, there was a small mirror the size of a palm. This mirror was very strange. On the mirror, there was a Yin Yang fish, and on the four sides, there were Eight Trigrams. It was very strange.
The mummified corpse grinned as if he was smiling at the three of them. Then, he cupped his fists at the three of them and said, " "Greetings, fellow Daoists. After so many years, there's finally a fellow Daoist who can come here. You've really made me wait bitterly." His voice was gentle and deep. It was the same voice that had invited them into the courtyard.
Yan Bei and Zhao Wuji stared blankly at the corpse. Zhao Hai smiled and returned the greeting, " &Quot; fellow Daoist, you're too polite. The three of us were lucky to be able to come here. To be honest, if we wanted to come here, we really couldn't do it without some skills. So, fellow Daoist, you don't have to take offense. &Quot;
The mummified corpse looked at Zhao Hai and said in a low voice, " "There were people who wanted to come here before, but they didn't understand anything about arrays. I don't want to see people like them, but the three of you came here with your own abilities and didn't even touch a single restriction. This really surprised me. Please come and sit, and we can have a good time."
