Ximu ignored Xue Qiandai, but turned to Bai Qian who was eager to try and said:
"If I were you, I wouldn't rush over there and die."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Bai Qian didn't appreciate it at all and pushed back hard.
Xue Qiandai glanced at Ximu and said to Tao Le a little worriedly: "Doctor Tao, please take care of your boyfriend. If he keeps talking nonsense like this, I may not be able to protect him."
Tao Le's reaction was completely different from what she thought.
Her expression was still as peaceful as ever, whether it was when she first saw the green light door or now, it seemed that nothing in this world could make her look so moved.
"It doesn't matter. You'd better listen to him, otherwise" Tao Le did not continue, but shook his head.
She trusted Simu unreservedly, and this trust obviously pleased him.
A smile overflowed from the corner of Ximu's eyes, but this brilliant smile made others dissatisfied.
Bai Yuan, another subordinate of Bai Zhaoyuan, walked to the bluestone first.
He didn't look at Ximu, but squinted at Bai Qian and said:
"If you don't dare to go up, then let me do it. How can you place the orders of the young sect master with such grinding?"
Only then did Bai Qian realize that due to his inadvertence, Bai Yuan had taken the opportunity to scold him in front of the young sect leader.
"I'm sorry, young sect leader, I'll just..." He immediately bowed and admitted his mistake, but before he finished speaking, Bai Yuan had already jumped out.
His cultivation level is comparable to that of Bai Qian. Logically speaking, he can float directly through the passage of more than thirty meters without using any help in between.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he jumped up, he landed directly on a bluestone slab two meters away.
As he landed, countless scalp-numbing mechanical sounds suddenly sounded.
Huge stone slabs fell from above, and countless sharp iron bars shot out from both sides.
Seeing this scene, neither Bai Zhaoyuan and others nor Bai Yuan, who was standing in the middle of the bluestone passage, felt nervous.
Although he didn't know why he ended up where he was, Bai Yuan didn't pay attention to such an ordinary concealed weapon at all.
He habitually activated his own energy, hoping to use it to smash boulders and hidden weapons, but he was extremely shocked to find that the connection between him and the sea of consciousness suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed.
Facing the sharp boulders above and the iron branches coming from both sides, he was completely unable to do anything to protect himself.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that he had become an ordinary person in the secular world.
At the last moment, his face contorted with fear.
At the same time, Bai Zhaoyuan also noticed something strange about him.
His eyes were focused, and a huge amount of energy rushed towards Bai Yuan, trying to save him, but his efforts were in vain.
I don't know why, but as soon as his energy entered the bluestone passage, it disappeared without a trace.
Blood splattered. Bai Yuan didn't even let out a scream, but his body was penetrated by countless iron branches, and was crushed into pulp by the sharp teeth of the boulder above.
Before this scene happened, Ximu took Tao Le into his arms, not wanting her to see such a tragic situation.
The bluestone moved silently, and the body fell into the cavity below, which closed automatically.
The blood stains on the boulders and bluestones seemed to be absorbed, gradually fading, and soon became invisible.
When Ximu let go of Tao Le, everything returned to its original state, as if the bloody scene was just a dream.
But Bai Yuan really disappeared.
Although Tao Le didn't see the specific process, with his excellent hearing, he roughly guessed what happened.
"I'm not afraid of blood." She said to Simu: "Don't forget my profession."
"I haven't forgotten." Simu explained: "I just don't want to dirty your eyes."
While the two of them were talking as if no one else was around, Bai Zhaoyuan and the other two people all turned their gazes over, full of surprise and suspicion.
"This friend," Bai Zhaoyuan said, "Do you know the Book of Changes? Do you know how to get there?"
Ximu chuckled: "You know a little bit."
"Then why didn't you say anything just now?" Bai Qian raised his voice.
He was in shock now. If Bai Yuan hadn't rushed forward, he would have been the one who died without a burial place.
"I warned you." Simu spread his hands innocently: "Besides, I have no power. I can't do anything except trying to figure out the way to pass the level."
Bai Qian wanted to say something more, but Bai Zhaoyuan gently waved him away.
"My rude men made me laugh." He forced a smile on his always stern face:
"Then I'll bother you, sir."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Ximu agreed unceremoniously, stared at the patterns on the bluestone for a while, and then looked hesitant again:
"Let's talk about it first. Although I have done some research in this area, I am not proficient in it."
"If anything goes wrong later, don't blame me."
"Sir, please do your best." Bai Zhaoyuan said, "No matter what the result is, I will not blame you."
Xue Qiandai sighed secretly in her heart. She knew Bai Zhaoyuan's nature very well.
He would only treat useless people as if they were worthless, and would not negotiate credit or terms with them at all.
The meaning of what he just said to Simu is actually very obvious: I won't blame you, because you will be a dead person.
After all, he was Doctor Tao's boyfriend, and he was so handsome and handsome. Xue Qiandai felt a little unbearable.
"Doctor Tao." She pulled Tao Le aside and asked quietly: "Is your boyfriend really proficient in the Book of Changes? Is he just pretending to understand?"
Tao Le smiled: "Don't worry. Every word he says will be fulfilled."
Seeing how much Tao Le trusted her boyfriend, Xue Qiandai could only swallow all the reminders that followed.
Her movements had already attracted Bai Zhaoyuan's attention, and the latter gave her a meaningful look, which prevented her from asking any more questions.
No matter what, we have come to this point, and we can only leave everything to fate.
In this world, let alone ordinary people, even the proud ones like them, don’t have to bow their heads in the face of fate?
Ximu walked back and forth twice, pretending to pinch his fingers for a long time, and then slowly stood in front of the bluestone.
"This passage must be walked by two people together." He said, "It must be a man and a woman."
Bai Zhaoyuan's eyes swept across Xue Qiandai's face, and then settled on Tao Le.
"Go." He ordered, his eyes looking at Ximu for a moment.
"Isn't this not good?" Ximu frowned and pointed at Xue Qiandai: "Let her come. It's so dangerous here. I can lose my life, but I can't let my girlfriend take this risk. .”
"Haha." Bai Zhaoyuan felt relieved and said, "Sir, do you think that after his failure and death, she will still have a way to survive?"
"You should go together and become a pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate. Of course, if you succeed, you will also get unexpected gains."
