Repugnant Gateway

Qi Tian: “Whether you have any connections or not, it’s all up to you now.”

An Zheng: “I think it’s more accurate to avoid this for the time being.”

When he finished this sentence, Qi Tian and Chen Shaobai had already run over two hundred meters away. As the two of them ran, they turned around and waved at An Zheng, indicating that he was still standing there with his staff in hand. An Zheng said that this didn’t seem likero at all, so he chased after him.

Fortunately, those Six-Winged Skeleton seemed to be wary of An Zheng and the others, and did not pursue them relentlessly. The three of them ran 30 miles in one breath. When they saw that there was no one chasing after them, they stopped. The three of them looked at each other, each with the expression of justice that no one was allowed to bring up in the future.

“I’m not afraid.”

Chen Shaobai said: “It’s just that this fight is unreasonable, who knows why a monster suddenly came out and killed one? Why do you think this race is so shameless? Do you really think that I like to kill them? Send them up one by one.

Qi Tian: “What you said makes a lot of sense.”

Chen Shaobai said, “I suddenly have a feeling of empathy between heroes towards you.”

An Zheng looked back as he tried to recall the strangeness of those things. He was sure that he heard a very soft sound, just like the sound of bamboo being split apart. Then, that Six-Winged Skeleton that was originally slightly afraid went crazy. After Chen Shaobai killed the skeleton, that kind of sound seemed to come out again, and then there would be at least a dozen Six-Winged Skeleton crawling out, and the number might be even more.

This was the Buddhist State in the Western Regions, a place rumored to shine with buddhist light. How could suching appear? Moreover, this place was only a few hundred kilometers away from the Immortal palace ruins. To cultivators, a distance of a few hundred kilometers was not considered far at all. Could it be for the Immortal palace ruins? However, for the Buddhist Sect, dealing with these things did not seem to be difficult. The Buddhist Sect’s cultivation techniques were specifically aimed at these kinds of filthy things, and it was said that their might was astonishing. If these Six-Winged Skeleton were controlled by someone, then using them to attack the Immortal palace ruins would be unrealistic. After all, the Buddha Sect must have a lot of experts in the Immortal palace ruins.

Let alone the Golden Crown, even the experts of the Tsukiko could not be underestimated.

“What are you thinking about?”

Chen Shaobai patted An Zheng.

An Zheng came back to reality and said: “I keep having the feeling that something is amiss. If this is the first time that these things have appeared, then it is our bad luck. If not for their first appearance, the people from the Peacock Palace would not sit idly by. The appearance of this thing was itself a provocation towards the Peacock Palace. If people were to find out, the Peacock Palace would definitely lose all face. ”

Chen Shaobai nodded his head: “That’s true, it’s as if there was a group of ghosts dancing outside the door of a house specially used to catch ghosts.

Qi Tian: “The people from the Buddhist Sect actually want face the most, these things should have just appeared.”

An Zheng asked: How many more do you have left? I have one here. ”

Qi Tian: “Let’s go back and take a look?”

An Zheng nodded: “Let’s go back and take a look.”

Qi Tian casually took out a sub-umbrella from his spatial space and gave it to Qi Tian: “Take this, let’s go back and see what’s going on.”

Qi Tian: “I do things openly, why would I use such a sneaky thing?”

Then, he took the yaksha umbrella. “If you have more, I’ll leave this one with you.”

Chen Shaobai glared at Qi Tian and the three of them opened up their yaksha umbrellas, then walked towards that direction. However, it was not easy to hide one’s tracks in the desert. Unless one was floating, it was very easy to leave footprints in the desert. Fortunately, the three of them were all very strong, so they basically didn’t leave any traces when they were refreshed. When they returned, their speed was much slower. In order to ensure that they would not be exposed, they had to be extremely careful.

Roughly half an hour later, they finally returned to the place where they had been fighting. However, there was nothing there anymore. Even the Six-Winged Skeleton that Chen Shaobai had killed had disappeared, and the surrounding desert didn’t seem to have any signs of change. The sand dune was calm, as if nothing had happened.

“Norace?”

Chen Shaobai frowned: “So that was our misconception just now?”

Qi Tian suddenly rose up, and quickly flew up, and after tens of seconds, he landed back on the ground: “From up there, I can see for at least a few hundred miles, that’s all. From afar, I can see very far, but there’s nothing.”

The three of them put away the yaksha umbrella and sat down cross-legged on the sand.

Chen Shaobai reached out and pinched Qi Tian’s thigh, causing Qi Tian to cry out in pain: “What are you doing?”

Qi Tian said. “Looks like it’s not an illusion, and it’s not a dream.”

An Zheng said: “This thing did not appear for no reason, it should be here for us. I don’t know if it’s for us or for cultivators. We did not reveal anything before, and it’s even from the Tsukiko, so I presume that those things were meant to intercept cultivators. ”

“Cultivators are not allowed to approach the Immortal palace?”

An Zheng shook his head: “That may not be the case, attacking cultivators would not do it for no reason, either to stop them or to kill them. The only reason the beasts attacked their prey was to eat, and these things probably thought the same. For them to be able to move like this, it is very possible that they were only able to do so due to the consumption of the cultivator’s Cultivation Power. ”

Chen Shaobai: “Even though you aren’t as beautiful as me, your words still make a lot of sense … Aiyo, why are you pinching me?! ”

Qi Tian: “A report ieport, but when will the injustice be reported, let’s stop here.”

Chen Shaobai glared at him. “Childish!”

Qi Tian: “You’re not childish!”

An Zheng sighed, thinking that Du Shoushou was not here, if Du Shoushou was, then it would be hard to say how childish of a thing these three would dare to do. If it was really as he had guessed, and these Six-Winged Skeleton cultivators were trying to capture food, then what was their goal? His appearance in Tsukiko was most likely related to the Buddhist Sect. This matter could not be ignored, and the best way was to inform the people of Peacock Palace. The people of the Buddhist Sect were more experienced at dealing with such things than them, and there were countless of experts in the Peacock Palace. If those things were to harm ordinary people, who knew how many people would suffer.

The three of them discussed for a while. Even if An Zheng didn’t want to go to Peacock Palace anymore, he had to go this time.

Along the way to the north, they were safe and sound for more than ten miles. It was said that there were three thousand Buddhist countries in the Western Regions, but no one knew exactly how many there were. The Buddha’s kingdom of 3000 was just a general statement, perhaps more. After all, in the unique environment of the Western Regions, even a city could be considered as an independent kingdom.

Of the three thousand Buddhist countries, at least half of them were in the desert, so they wouldn’t be able to see a village like the Central Plains. In the desert, wherever there was an oasis, there would be a city of considerable scale. People would be concentrated in these big cities. If those monsters were after people, they would’ve gone to those big cities. An Zheng and the others had a map, and after checking it out, they discovered that there was another city called Floating Mist City between them and the capital city, Peacock City.

There was a legend regarding the Floating Mist City. It was said that the city could move, and many people searched their memories but could not find it. But according to An Zheng and the others, the city would not move, it would just move like a sand dune. There were so many quicksand zones around Peacock City that the topography often changed, so it was easy for people to create illusions.

This time, An Zheng and the rest were in a hurry, so their speed was much faster. After walking for about a day, they reached the outskirts of Floating Mist City. When he could see the big city, the number of people on the road increased. He met many caravans driving camels. Seeing that no one had any abnormal reactions, An Zheng and the rest heaved a sigh of relief.

Walking tea stand on the side of the road, An Zheng and the others sat down to rest and ask around. The tea stand was very quiet. Other than the three of them, there was only a small monk dressed in cloth sitting there drinking tea. He looked to be around sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was wearing a set of patched monastic robes. Even though his clothes looked tattered, the young monk was sitting upright with an imposing manner.

His face was very white, the kind of white that seems to have just recovered from a serious illness. There was a straw hat and a small package on the table.

Ascetic Monk

No matter how Qi Tian treated the Buddhist Sect, he still had a kind of respect for the ascetic monk. An Zheng and Chen Shaobai were the same, the monk was truly a person who cultivated his own body without fighting in the world. They would never touch things like money. They would eat until they got to the fast food, so they couldn’t just starve. This young monk was alone, and he looked to be in deep sorrow.

Seeing An Zheng and the others coming over, the pretty but pale faced little monk nodded his head in good will. He held the teacup in both hands and sipped on it, as if he was full of respect for every sip. It didn’t look like water at all, but some kind of sincere ritual. After drinking the water, he stood up, clasped his hands, and thanked the owner of the tea stand. The owner, who also believed in Buddhism, quickly returned the greeting.

The young monk thanked him, then continued on his way. He put on his straw hat, checked himself carefully, and decided that he couldn’t buy it on the road.

“It’s really hard on him to be at this age.”

Chen Shaobai said from the bottom of his heart, then asked for three bowls of water, conveniently asking the owner of the tea shop if anything strange had happened in the vicinity. The boss was good at talking, after chatting for a while, An Zheng and the others were unable to get any information. After asking a few questions and looking again, their expressions all changed.

The little monk who was drinking water earlier had disappeared. He was clearly not walking fast, but in the blink of an eye, he disappeared withourace.

“He’s also an expert.”

Qi Tian said: “I really misjudged him, I actually did not see that he was a cultivator.”

Chen Shaobai: “It doesn’t matter if you can’t tell, ascetic monks usually avoid passersby. Especially in places like the Buddhist Kingdoms in the Western Regions, where the common people believed in the buddhist faith, they would take the initiative to salute when they saw a monk. They are ascetic monks, and they do not wish to have too much contact with even this sort of polite thing. ”

An Zheng nodded his head: “Let’s go, let’s take a look around the city. If there’s nothing else, let’s go to Peacock City.”

As he was speaking, he saw a cloud of dust explode in the distance, as if something was about to come out.
