The Taoist temple is very dilapidated, as if no one has set foot there for thousands of years.
Pushing open the door of the alchemy room, there was only a large alchemy furnace inside, but no one making alchemy.
"What...what's going on?"
Zhang Li and I looked at each other, both a little confused.
We found the Kunlun Mountains and the alchemy room, but there was no Taoist boy who made the alchemy!
Isn’t this a scam?
There is a barrier next to the alchemy furnace.
It’s the same boundary as when we came in.
As long as you pass through the barrier, you will return to the real world.
So, you must have found the right place!
It’s just that the Taoist boy who made the alchemy is not here!
In addition, this alchemy furnace seems to have been abandoned for many years, and the furnace mouth is even covered with thick spider webs!
Zhang Li climbed on the alchemy furnace, pushed aside the spider webs at the mouth of the furnace, looked inside for a long time, and said, "There seems to be something!"
When I saw it, it was true!
There seems to be a book at the bottom of the alchemy furnace.
I jumped in quickly!
Once inside, I discovered that it was not a book, but an animal skin.
There is a line of words written in ink on it: The sixth group has arrived, the Taoist boy is not here, I hope the seventh and eighth groups will know!
"Hey, what does it say?"
Zhang Li was very curious.
I handed the things over and climbed out after myself, saying: "The sixth group is from the Song and Yuan Dynasties, which means that at that time, the Taoist boy who made alchemy was no longer around!"
"Pity!"
Zhang Li looked regretful.
I said, "Don't feel sorry, there are still five groups ahead! Maybe the first five groups have already found the Taoist boy!"
"Huh?"
Zhang Li turned the quick leather over and handed it to me: "Look, there's blood!"
I said: "It seems that the six groups of people were already injured when they arrived here!"
Zhang Li sighed, looked at the barrier in front of her and said, "Then... let's go back?"
I said, "Are you so anxious to draw a clear line with me?"
"Halo, that's not what I meant!" Zhang Li rolled her eyes at me.
I said, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Li said: "Zhenren Ge has to keep the barrier open all the time, and this consumes a lot of mana! Calculate for yourself, how many days have we been here? No matter how high Zhenren Ge is, he is still a mortal after all!"
"That's it!"
I said, "What if Ge Zhenren runs out of mana?"
"Can you hope for something better!"
Zhang Li said angrily: "If Master Ge really runs out of mana, the barrier will automatically close! We will also be trapped in the Kunlun Secret Realm, and we will never be able to get out!"
"That won't work!"
I said: "Then let's go out early!"
While we were talking, we entered the barrier.
There is a deep tunnel in front of us. It feels similar to the one when we came in, a bit like a time and space tunnel.
After walking for several kilometers, we came to the other end of the passage.
It was also the place where Zhang Li and I changed clothes before.
Things from the outside cannot be brought into the Kunlun Secret Realm.
In the same way, the contents inside cannot be taken out.
At this moment, Zhang Li and I are wearing clothes made by Mrs. Lu, which belong to the Kunlun Secret Realm.
So, when we reached the other end of the passage, we were shocked to realize that both of us were naked!
Fortunately, this is the entrance to the passage, and there is a barrier behind it.
You have to pass through another barrier to fully return to the real world.
So here, no one else can see us.
Zhang Li and I are the only two people who face each other calmly!
"Don't look!"
Zhang Li's face turned red and she quickly found the clothes she had changed out of before and prepared to put them on.
Thinking that I was about to go out, I felt reluctant to leave.
Looking at Zhang Li's pretty back, I couldn't help but walk over and hug her tightly from behind!
"What are you doing?"
Zhang Li turned around and looked at me in shock.
"More hugs!"
I said: "If we go out right now, we won't have a chance!"
Hearing this, Zhang Li actually didn't push me away.
We have experienced so many lives and deaths together in the Kunlun Secret Realm. It would be a lie to say that we have no feelings!
I estimate that if it weren’t for Wen Geng, Zhang Li might have even become a Taoist couple with me!
"Okay, it's almost done!"
After a long while, Zhang Li struggled slightly and said, "Get out quickly, I don't know what's going on outside now!"
"Um!"
I reluctantly let go of her and put on my clothes.
But when I came to the barrier, I couldn't help it anymore.
I grabbed Zhang Li's little hand, pulled her hard, and hugged her from the front!
Then without saying anything, he lowered his head and kissed...
"Uh...uh uh..."
Zhang Li wanted to speak several times, but all she could say was "Uh-huh".
For a long time, we separated reluctantly.
Zhang Li didn't blame me this time. She looked at me with very complicated eyes and finally said: "Get out!"
After crossing the barrier, we finally returned to the real world.
It is still the White Cloud Temple where Master Ge preached before.
There were only three people in the entire lobby at the moment.
One is Ge Zhenren, one is his Taoist boy, and the other is Zhang Chenglong, a maniac who loves his sister.
"Little sister!"
Seeing us coming out, Zhang Chenglong came up to us excitedly and kept asking after us.
"Brother, I'm fine!"
Zhang Li came to Gezhuang with a heavy expression on her face and said, "Master, the two senior brothers from the seventh group have died!"
Ge Zhuang sat cross-legged on the ground and slowly opened his eyes. His expression was neither happy nor sad, he just nodded.
After not seeing him for a while, he looked much older.
Originally, he had a face as golden as paper and was described as hale and hearty, but now, his complexion is sallow and his energy is listless.
Obviously, opening the barrier had a huge impact on his body!
At this time, Zhang Chenglong pulled his sister and said: "If the people inside are sacrificed, Master Ge will feel it!"
"That's it!"
Zhang Li said: "By the way, we saw the words left by the sixth group, which said that during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the Taoist boy was not in Kunlun Mountain! Is there any good news about the previous five groups?"
"well……"
Zhang Chenglong sighed and said: "The first five groups... have died long ago!"
"ah?"
Zhang Li and I looked at each other and were both shocked.
Zhang Chenglong said: "The sixth group who left a message for you also sacrificed one person. Although the remaining one came back, he only has half his life left. Two legs are gone. He said he was bitten by a monster..."
Zhang Li and I said "ah" again, not knowing what to say.
At this time, Ge Zhuang closed the barrier and said, "I never expected that the secret realm of Kunlun left by Lao Jun would be so dangerous!"
Zhang Li said: "What should we do? Can we still find the Taoist boy?"
"Of course I'm looking for it!"
As he said that, Ge Zhuang looked at me and Zhang Li and said, "You two are not low in cultivation and have experience in cooperating with each other. Go back and have a good rest and prepare for the next time you enter the Kunlun Secret Realm!"
Zhang Li said: "When is the next time...?"
Ge Zhuang said: "Opening the barrier consumes too much mana. I need at least fifteen days of rest! After fifteen days, we will meet here again!"
Zhang Li and I couldn't help but look at each other and neither of us spoke.
It was considered acquiescence.
At this time, Zhang Chenglong pulled us and said: "Let's go back and have a good rest first, and prepare to return to Longhu Mountain!"
"Back to Longhu Mountain?"
Zhang Li said: "We have to enter the Kunlun Secret Realm soon. Why do we go back?"
Zhang Chenglong said: "Dad is out of prison, don't you miss him?"
"Really!"
Zhang Li said happily: "Then let's go back now!"
"not now!"
Zhang Chenglong said: "You two have just experienced a narrow escape, take a good rest first, and set off again tomorrow!"
