Star Trace Gate

Chapter 734: Accidentally Entering the Mountain of Punishment, a Scarlet

After Lao Liu went to poop, the ancestral worship ceremony began, so Ren Ye and the others focused on watching the excitement. As soon as the ceremony began, a big battle broke out in the Long family's ancestral land. The scene was in chaos, and everyone was eager to escape, so they naturally forgot about the soldier who didn't bring paper.

However, even if he didn't bring paper and was slow to pull it, and didn't return before the ceremony began, the battle was so loud that he couldn't have failed to notice it. Even if he didn't find everyone immediately, he should have returned with the common people. After all, the people from the Ligui Sect only targeted the Long family, but didn't kill innocent people, so it was impossible for them to implicate Lao Liu.

What is going on?

What about others?

Brother Hu was more straightforward, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Is it really lost?!"

"...!"

When Xu Bangzi heard this, he replied speechlessly: "If a third-rank supernatural being really got lost, it would be an eternal wonder and would be recorded in history books."

"It's not lost. Why didn't that person come back? It's been almost two hours. Even if it's a pig, it should have returned to the pen." Yin Hu was puzzled: "Damn it, nothing will happen to him, right?"

"Crow's Mouth."

Xingshan was very strange, with a large grave and a scarlet color, so Ren was a little scared by what he said, and immediately emphasized: "My brother Liu is very blessed. He has not been killed in the space journey for several months, and he will definitely not die from poop."

"However, waiting like this is not a solution. Let's go back and look for him."

Playing is playing, making noise is joking, but in Ren Ye's heart, Brother Lao Liu is like his own son, a very, very important person.

"Alas, facing you, I am truly convinced and in awe of you." Taoist Master Chu was exhausted and sighed, "There is no money, so I have to rob. When there is a problem, I am the one who covers you. Don't ask, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I have been here for more than a month, and I have not gained any benefits, but I have risked my life twice. Now, even my poop has been lost, and I need someone to find it... I followed you here in a daze, and I don't know what you are trying to achieve?!"

Lao Chu began to chant...

Ren also looked up at him and said, "You are right. It makes me feel guilty. I can't force you to stay. Pay the overtime visitor tax, pack up and go home...!"

“Wulian Fucking Heavenly Venerable, are you talking like a human being?!” Dao Master Chu cursed, “Who helped you break out of the encirclement just now?”

"Don't reflect on me. It was obviously the soft and delicate body of the City Lord's wife that aroused your fighting spirit."

"I can testify to this." Xu Bangzi raised his hand and said, "I told him to carry me on his back, but he refused to let go even if he died."

"...!"

Master Chu Dao looked at this group of bastards, put his hands together to calm down the anger in his heart, and said solemnly: "May all the lost people in the world find their way home...!"

"Stop talking nonsense. Let's go and find him."

Ren Ye pulled up Master Chu's thick arm and said softly, "We are all good brothers. Don't complain so much in the future and make more contributions... How do you know that after Senior White Striped Chicken comes and opens the Xingshan, you won't get unimaginable opportunities?"

"Please, stop making empty promises. You can't rely on this one thing to seduce me for the rest of my life, right?" Taoist Chu rolled his eyes. "Besides, opportunities are just external things. The reason I can play with you guys like this is because of the pure brotherhood in my heart, right?"

"Yes, yes. I'll keep that in mind."

After a brief verbal argument between the two shameless men, they called over the housekeeper Bao from the mansion.

Ren also said: "Master Steward, can you prepare a few good horses for us?"

"Oh, Mr. Zhu... The young master was just looking for you!" Butler Bao said in a deep voice: "Several Taoist priests from the Xianlan Sect who protect the city, as well as the masters in this city, are all in the inner palace at the moment. The young master asked you to come over because he wanted to thank you in person."

"Where are you going to take the horses suddenly?"

"Oh, I have a friend who just got separated from us near the Long family's ancestral land. Maybe the scene was too chaotic and he was not familiar with the environment, so he didn't find us." Ren Ye immediately said, "Let's go pick him up first, and then go visit City Lord Long."

"Okay, okay." When Butler Bao heard that the people around him were lost, he immediately expressed his understanding and said, "Then I will prepare horses for you."

"Good work."

After the two exchanged a few brief words, Butler Bao turned and left.

At this time, Mingquan, who had been listening in the hall, stepped forward and said, "The Long family's ancestral land is full of mountains and forests. It's easy for you to get lost if you go there alone. Let me accompany you."

Ren Ye looked at him and was about to reply when he saw Xing Wu walking towards him from the inside.

He stood tall and straight, and said solemnly, "Uncle Mingquan, I have been hunting and wandering in the mountains for many years. I know the terrain at the foot of Xingshan better than you do. I will go with Uncle Zigui, and you can stay here and take care of the family."

When it comes to entering mountains and forests, these high-level supernatural powers people in front of him are not as experienced as the young Xing Wu.

Ren also thought about it for a while and said, "Okay, it will be faster with you."

……

Half an hour later.

Ren Ye, Xing Wu, Chu Daoye, Yinhu, Aifei and Xu Bangzi, riding on tall horses, passed through Daze Township again and returned to the vicinity of the Long family's ancestral land.

When the six people arrived, the Long family's ancestral tomb was full of torches and soldiers. At least thousands of Chaolong Guards blocked the messy scene and the half-opened ancestral tomb. In addition, the chief officer of the city's Ministry of Justice and more than a dozen high-ranking people were investigating the scene, seemingly trying to find some clues about the Ghost Sect.

Since Ren was also a guest official at the City Lord's Mansion, and many people had seen him save Long Yuqing, he and his men did not encounter any obstruction when they appeared here. There was even a centurion who came over to help them tie their horses to a specific location.

Since the other party was so considerate, Ren Ye and the others were naturally very sensible. They didn't even go to the ancestral grave to disturb the other party's investigation. Instead, they just came to a wasteland to avoid suspicion.

This field was about two or three miles away from Xingshan Mountain, and the weeds were extremely lush, about half the height of an adult. In the middle of the weeds, there was a very narrow path, which looked like a path trampled out by the surrounding villagers when they were chopping wood.

Xu Bangzi pointed at the narrow path and said, "There were many people there at the time, so I looked back and it seemed that Lao Liu had entered this path."

“Brother Hu, you have a keen sense of smell. Hurry up and lie on the ground and smell it…” Ren Ye conducted an obedience test as if he was giving a lecture to a police dog.

When Yin Hu heard this, he subconsciously bent down, but after thinking about it carefully, he became furious: "You bastard! I am the king of thick earth, not a vicious dog. I can stand and smell it."

"Okay, let's smell it and see where it is." Xu Bangzi said in a nasty way.

"roll!"

Yin Hu cursed, then slowly released his power of perception, walking slowly forward while sniffing the scents around him.

After a moment, he turned around and said simply, "There is indeed the scent of Lao Liu here, extending deep into the ground, not too far away."

"Go and have a look."

Ren Ye greeted everyone and walked into the narrow path.

At this time, Xing Wu followed behind Ren Ye and shouted, "Uncle, we can only go forward one or two miles, but we must not go deeper."

"Why?!"

Ren also turned around to ask.

"The old hunters in Chaolong City said that the foot of Xingshan Mountain is very strange, and there seems to be an aura that can make people lose all five senses. Even those with high-level magical powers are at risk of getting lost here. Many treasure hunters who don't believe in evil have disappeared completely after entering Xingshan Mountain from the periphery, and it seems that they will never be able to get out of it in their lifetime..." Xing Wu reminded: "So, we must not go deep into it rashly, otherwise we may... get separated or lost."

When Ren Ye heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he instinctively said, "Shit, could it be that Old Liu accidentally entered the Xingshan Mountain and got lost?!"

He originally thought that Lao Liu was just unfamiliar with the surrounding terrain, and at the foot of Xing Mountain, he didn't dare to use his magical powers easily, so he got lost. But now when he heard Xing Wu say this, his heart started pounding, and he was very nervous, and he couldn't help but think of Mr. Xu's words...

"Before the White Striped Chicken arrives, you must not approach Xingshan."

When he thought of this, Ren Ye couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Damn it, this Old Liu is really amazing. He didn't poop earlier or later, but had to poop at the foot of the Xingshan Mountain where people worship their ancestors... couldn't he hold it in for a while? I give in...!"

With Xing Wu's reminder, everyone stepped forward carefully.

However, the deeper you go, the taller the surrounding weeds become, almost completely covering a person's body.

After walking about a mile forward, everyone looked up and could faintly see the crimson color at the foot of Xingshan Mountain.

At this moment, Yin Hu suddenly stopped and said in surprise: "Huh? Strange... Why did Lao Liu's aura suddenly disappear here!"

"Disappeared?"

Ren Ye suddenly looked at him: "There is nothing here, only a small path forward, how could it disappear?!"

"It's very strange."

Yin Hu also looked at the road ahead in confusion, then pointed at his feet: "His breath seemed to suddenly...cut off from here...so weird."

After he finished speaking, he looked around suspiciously and took a step forward, wanting to go deeper.

"Snapped!"

At this moment, Xing Wu grabbed Yin Hu's arm and shouted urgently: "Uncle Hu, I heard from the old man that if the aura of the supernatural being suddenly disappears, he can no longer move forward...!"

Yin Hu looked back at him, immediately retracted the step he was about to take, and nodded heavily, "Okay."

Although Brother Hu was reckless, he had no problem with his brain and listened to advice. He certainly didn't understand the weirdness of this place as well as Xing Wu in front of him, so he decisively chose to stop.

Ren Ye turned his head and looked around again, only to find that the scene here was really no different from an ordinary countryside wilderness, with ordinary weeds and vegetation everywhere, and a fresh smell all over the place.

Yin Hu's sense of smell had helped to break the impasse in the secret realm of Fulai County. It was comparable to a human radar, so Ren also had full faith in his ability.

Lao Liu's scent suddenly disappeared. This was unbelievable. He was a living person. Even if he was kidnapped, it was impossible for his scent to disappear in an instant...? !

"Ong!"

Just as Ren Ye lowered his head to think, a very faint buzzing sound came from the weeds swaying in the wind around him.

Although it was very subtle, everyone still captured it very keenly.

"Um?!"

Master Chu's face suddenly changed, and he turned his head abruptly to look behind him: "It's over... it's too late!"

"What do you mean late?!" Ren Ye asked immediately.

"You thought we were just looking at the mountain, but you didn't know we were already in the mountain." Master Chu's face turned pale, which was rare for him, and he said, "I... we're already in!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone was stunned, only to see that the emerald green grass swaying around them was covered with a crimson color in an instant.

The red halo instantly enveloped everyone's bodies. They seemed to be in a silent red ocean, and when they looked back, they could no longer see the way they came.
