Guyuemen is located deep in the Xingyun Mountains.
After Li Chuan and others took a carriage to a stronghold of the Four Gods Palace, they borrowed a fairy boat, and within half a day, they stopped in front of the gate of Guyue Gate.
"Let's walk over there later." Wen Guying said.
After getting off the fairy boat, Tong Luo raised his head and looked at the three words "Gu Yue Men" on the mountain gate.
When he stood here a few months ago, he felt uneasy and excited, as if just by passing through this mountain gate, he would also step into the mysterious gate.
After escaping from death and returning here, her longing for Xuanmen has faded a lot, but she is very determined in her heart. She even observes her surroundings. If she can bring some prey back and sell it for more money, Erniang will not have to go out to work. .
Anyway, Li Chuan said that there is still a lot of space in his Bishui Ring to fit it.
He heard Wen Guying ask him: "Is this where you came last time?"
He quickly replied: "That's it."
He said: "There were seven or eight people who came with us. This was just a group of people. I don't know how many groups came before. When we left, there were only two left."
He and the son of the wealthy businessman.
Wen Guying said: "You can lead the way later."
Tong Luo said: "Okay."
Then, Tong Luo led them forward. After walking forward for a while, there were more stone sculptures on both sides of the road. After walking up the stone steps for a few hundred meters, you could vaguely see the main hall.
It was very quiet along the way, not even the sound of birds or wind could be heard.
Walking to the front and back of the main hall, Tong Luo said, "This is where they conduct the assessment."
Hearing this, Li Chuan asked: "How was the assessment conducted?"
The surrounding space was so empty that his voice echoed.
Tong Luo said: "A Taoist priest with a white beard and an immortal style claimed to be the elder of the outer sect of Guyue Sect. He took out a jade ruler and knocked on each of us. He said that the jade ruler could measure our Enlightenment. At that time, there were many monks dressed as monsters coming and going, flying into the sky and escaping to the earth."
"Then what?" Gong Er was very interested and jumped forward to ask.
Tong Luo said: "Then, we were asked to demonstrate our respective abilities. I performed archery." He pointed to a tree in the distance and said, "Shoot the leaves on that tree."
"Has everyone passed?" Gonger was curious.
"No, three passed, me, Wang Qing, and a girl." Tong Luo shook his head.
Wang Qing is the son of that wealthy businessman.
He said: "The woman was later taken to another place, so I didn't know her name. When I saw her again, she was already dead."
"Wouldn't it mean that he failed and escaped?" asked the third person.
Tong Luo replied: "On their way back, they were all intercepted and eaten by monsters. Wang Qing and I were allowed to stay because they thought I might have a background and wanted to coax Wang Qing to give them money from home. "
He pointed to the quiver on his back and said, "At that time, Blacksmith Cen had already shot a few arrows for me."
Tong Luo walked a few steps to the side and talked about his experience here: "We only stayed here for half a day, and then we were taken away. We walked very far in this direction before we stopped. There There are several shabby thatched huts. The monster pretending to be an elder said that this is where the outer disciples live, and told Wang Qing and I to stay here and not go out, someone will come and teach us the exercises."
"At that time, we just thought that this was the treatment we received from outer disciples. We felt that as long as we could learn something real, being sent around as a handyman would be okay, so we settled down with peace of mind."
"Later when I was sleeping, Wang Qing kept shouting that there was something under me, which made me panic. He was so noisy that I couldn't sleep, so one of us lit a candle and the other went to dig up the straw mat, and found out a few stained coins. Bloody copper coins and a jade pendant."
"I felt something was wrong, so at night, I sneaked out and found someone guarding us. I tested it and found that he was not a human, but a monster. I knew that I had been tricked into the monster's den."
The public and others were fascinated by what he heard and kept urging Tong Luo to continue.
Tong Luo continued: "On the second day, I slipped out while they were not looking. When I was halfway there, I heard some noise and hid aside. Then I saw them eating people. What they ate was A person who was beaten down."
"I only found out after listening to them talking that they had used this method to trick many people into eating. They also said that there were not enough people and there was still a lot to be desired..."
Li Chuan noticed Wen Guying's abnormality at this time.
Wen Guying had been standing at the entrance of the hall for a long time, motionless.
Li Chuan walked over and asked, "Director Wen, what problem did you find?"
Wen Guying didn't look at him, but asked: "Did you smell a rotten smell?"
Li Chuan tried his best to smell it, shook his head and said, "No."
Wen Guying pointed to the palace door and said, "Take another look."
Li Chuan suddenly found that there was nothing inside the door, and it was as dark as a bottomless abyss.
"How could this happen?" Li Chuan asked in shock. He clearly remembered that he had seen the pillar sculptures and various decorations inside just now.
A stench rushed into his nose, the smell of decay seeped out from the darkness, and a shrill scream lingered.
Li Chuan took several steps back and almost fell to the ground.
When he turned around, he saw Wen Guying pulling out his sword. Hot light shone from the ruby on the hilt, and the sword flew into the darkness behind the hall door.
In just the blink of an eye, the dazzling red light was swallowed up by darkness.
Tong Luo, Gong Er and San also noticed the movement here. They all turned around and looked in the direction of the main hall.
Click. Click.
The sound of breaking kept ringing, each sound louder than the last.
The red sword light appeared again. The sword light penetrated the boundary of darkness and cut the darkness into countless fragments. Flames spurted out from the cracks in the crumbling hall, burning half of the sky.
The decay and fishy stench in the air seemed to be burned away by the hot sword energy.
After that, spider web-like cracks spread layer by layer on the ground.
Tong Luo discovered that everything within the entire Guyue Sect was declining rapidly. When they first came here, there was still a bit of Xuanmen atmosphere, but now it just feels like decay.
The sword flew back to Wen Guying's hand. Wen Guying turned around and the hall collapsed behind him.
Wen Guying said: "The spiritual veins of Guyue Sect have completely dried up. The reason why we could barely maintain the operation of the spiritual array before was because the souls of the dead adults were imprisoned here."
He said: "Those little demons are probably not the masterminds."
After finishing speaking, he said: "Let's walk a little further. Behind the two mountains, there should be the forbidden area of Guyue Gate. Maybe we can find some clues inside."
Naturally, Li Chuan and others had no objection, and followed Wen Guying and walked forward.
