C787 Right on the Wrong Side of the Line
"What do you mean?" The white robed old man looked up at him.
"It's up to fate. Everything is fate. We, Chenyue, have adapted to the trajectory of fate. Everything is done according to the will of heaven. So, life and death, everything is up to the heavens." Black Robed Elder said.
When Ann Sudong heard this, he felt that it was really funny.
What was the sky?
It was none other than the immortals in the sky. From the Black Robed Elder's words, it seemed that they, Chenyue, were doing things according to the wishes of the immortals, but he did not feel that the immortals had the time to care about them.
Thinking about it here, he suddenly remembered that once he left the Sword Pavilion Secret Realm, he might be able to contact those immortals. He wondered if they had thought about the Fellow Daoist Wushi after he had been missing for so long.
"Let's begin!"
The white-robed old man didn't have any objections. They didn't have a complete understanding of the weather compass, and while cultivators like them might be interested in the nine palaces' gossip, compared to cultivators from ten thousand years ago, it was as if they were stretched to their limits.
As the dragon pearl turned, the third door corresponded to sixty years old.
Black Robed Elder turned his head to look at the third gate and the third small gate.
"Let's go!"
He was also very decisive. With a wave of his hand, he led his people directly to the third small door.
Sun Longxiang hesitated and looked at Ann Sudong, "You're not coming with us?"
"No!"
Ann Sudong shook his head, "I will do it alone with Ling'er."
"Alright!"
Sun Longxiang nodded, hesitated for a moment, then decisively turned and left.
"I'll be next." Ann Sudong was perturbed in his heart, "Rotate."
The white robed old man raised his head and looked at Ann Sudong, nodding his head before turning it again.
Dark and gloomy, corresponding to the empty door, which was also the door at the end.
"Let's go through the fourth gate!" Ann Sudong pulled Fei Ling'er along.
Fei Ling'er nodded.
"Goodbye everyone."
Ann Sudong cupped his fists and followed Fei Ling'er and left.
Yun Qian wanted to say something but hesitated. She did not say anything more.
Entering the fourth gate, one would see a field of stars, just like back when he was on the Ancient Dark Realm's astral chess board.
Fei Ling'er's palms were drenched in sweat, "Ann Sudong, it can't be that we did not leave, right?"
Ann Sudong's heart was thumping, he would not be so unlucky, so he directly entered a deathly place.
The entire space was extremely quiet. Aside from their occasional conversation, there was not a single sound. It was extremely quiet.
Ann Sudong brought Fei Ling'er and kept walking. It was a vast and boundless starry sky.
It was unknown how long the two had been walking for, but Ann Sudong's heart was filled with despair. At this time, he suddenly saw a light in front, flickering.
"There's something ahead, let's go take a look."
Ann Sudong's eyes lit up as he quickened his pace.
Wang Shan was exhausted.
They seemed to be right in front of them, but after walking for several hours, the two of them were almost completely exhausted, and finally arrived at the source of the light.
This was a house with a stone tablet erected at the entrance.
Those who open the mountain are those who destroy the mountain, those who open the road, those who destroy the road, I will die with no regrets!
"Graveyard of Gods?" Fei Ling'er's body trembled, and started to feel uncomfortable.
Ann Sudong never thought that it would be like this, it really was a tomb, they were too unlucky, they actually entered a dead person's territory.
But from the looks of this house, it was not big, it was only about forty to fifty square meters.
The gate was woven from bamboo, and within the emerald green, it emitted a faint light. They were attracted here, and this light was precisely that.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Ann Sudong pushed open the door. The furnishings inside the room were simple, there were a few bamboo chairs and a bed, it did not look like a tomb, but instead, it looked like a secluded cultivator training here.
"This is a room for one." Fei Ling'er said.
"Yes!"
Ann Sudong nodded his head, "Let's find a way to get out. Although we didn't obtain any treasures, since there are people living here, it is good news for us, the people living here won't trap themselves to death, there will always be an exit."
"Right, there will always be exits." Fei Ling'er's eyes lit up.
However, his excitement instantly died down. "There are only these many things here, how can there be any exits?"
Ann Sudong walked around the room. It was truly just these few items, the room's layout could be said to be extremely simple.
"What are you doing?"
Ann Sudong was shocked when he saw that Fei Ling'er was about to crawl under the bed.
"Maybe there's a secret passage under the bed." Fei Ling'er turned her head and laughed.
"Did you find it?" Ann Sudong sat on the chair and played with the tea set on the table.
"No!"
Fei Ling'er shook her head and slowly retreated.
"Ouch!"
She lifted her head and hit something. With a cry of pain, she held her head and stood up.
"You, you …"
Before Ann Sudong could finish his sentence, he heard a mechanical voice from within the room. He swallowed his next words and clapped, "You're too talented."
Sure enough, along with the loud noise, the bed slowly rose up, and the ground caved in as a dark secret passage appeared.
"This …" Fei Ling'er still couldn't believe that this was her own masterpiece.2
Ann Sudong laughed out loud: "If you want to plant a flower, you can't, and if you don't, you can't, and you don't have to, Liu Chengyin, which is the principle. Come, let's go down and take a look."
"Wait a minute!"
Fei Ling'er pulled his hand, "What if it's not an exit but a trap?"
"Silly girl, who would design a trap so covertly?"
Ann Sudong pointed to a thumb sized mechanism at the edge of the bed, "If it wasn't for you being lucky, we would have been able to find this item here for a month. Even if we had to cover it up, we wouldn't be able to do this kind of thing, and if we can't find a way out, isn't that the best trap?"
"If we are trapped here without food or drink, given the flow of time here, we will probably starve to death."
Ann Sudong touched the side of the bed, "This mechanism was designed to hide itself, it must be the exit, or maybe it leads to some other place."
Fei Ling'er thought about it, rubbed her head and laughed, it seemed like she really was hit on the spot.
The two of them walked down the stairs in complete darkness. After walking for about half an hour, they finally saw some light up ahead.
"I really didn't expect that there would be more underground here." Fei Ling'er stretched out her hand to touch the surrounding walls.
In this piece of starry sky, this small house was like a floating duckweed. Who would have thought that underneath the duckweed, was the universe?
"We should be entering an illusion, but this illusion has no malicious intent and does not have any intent to harm us. It is just simply deceiving us. Once we enter from below, the illusion will disappear and we will be able to see what this space looks like."
Ann Sudong was walking in front, "There's a light source in front, it should be the end."
