The vicious female supporting role in the book cultivation world is crazy and involuntarily

Pingyang City is located in the north, and the dense forests are mostly tall and dense with pine and fir trees that reach into the clouds. Even in the daytime, the forest seems dark, let alone at night.

Lu Zhaozhao pulled out a mermaid candle from her Qiankun bag. Her senior brother Ying Che had explained it to her in detail before she left the sect. It was made from the sebum of mermaids from overseas, and once lit, it would remain inextinguishable, even in wind and rain, and could burn for a thousand years.

The soft glow of the candlelight enveloped her, but beyond it was pitch black. Dense leaves covered her, layer upon layer, rustling even the slightest movement. From time to time, dark shadows flashed by, and Lu Zhaozhao couldn't tell whether they were animals or something else.

The trees around him were all similar, and he couldn't tell the direction, so Lu Zhaozhao tried to find the direction of the stars and move forward. But after walking for a long time, there was no change.

"My speed is not slow. Even if I go in the wrong direction, I should be out of the forest by now." Lu Zhaozhao thought to himself.

After walking for a while, she saw a yellow talisman hanging on a tree not far away. It was the talisman she had put on when she first entered the forest. Now, the talisman appeared in front of her again.

The Yuanxu mirror in his sleeve fell into his palm silently. Lu Zhaozhao stepped forward, took off the yellow talisman, and then chanted the incantation and threw it into the air.

"Brightness and darkness change, all things fear. I command you to appear and all evil will be dispersed. Break it!"

Lu Zhaozhao shouted, activating the talisman. She had sensed something was amiss when she entered the dense forest—or more accurately, when she was ambushed outside it. The Yuanxu mirror, with its four plates carved into it, moved according to the time, but it hadn't moved since she arrived. She'd gone through so much trouble to determine what was playing tricks here.

The moment she saw the yellow talisman, she understood.

There is a huge maze here, and time passes extremely slowly inside the maze.

"The woodcutter returns home, his axe handle rotten in the wind." Legend has it that a woodcutter once passed by a place and watched people playing chess. After the game, when he came out of the mountains again, a thousand years had passed in the world.

Lu Zhaozhao didn't know whether this story was true or not, but in the memories she inherited, she had asked her master Yun Xian about it. She remembered her master's answer that the woodcutter might have walked into a maze where time stood still and all kinds of illusions could be seen.

This talisman technique was the method she had specially practiced to break the spell. It was originally a spur-of-the-moment idea, but she had never expected it to come in handy.

She remembered her master saying that as long as they found the center of the formation, they could break it.

From the direction of "Taibai Jingtian" and the appearance of the yellow talisman, it is undoubtedly proved that this is the center of the maze.

The yellow talisman flew forward to a point where it seemed to encounter a barrier. Then, four symbols appeared, the Dao disk emerged, and the talisman paper burned. A barely perceptible fine line appeared along its edge.

But in a moment, fine lines spread rapidly.

"Snapped--"

A cracking sound was heard, followed by more sounds at the same time.

"Wow--"

The yellow talisman burned out and the formation was broken.

The Yuanxu Mirror in his hand moved at the same moment the formation was broken.

Lu Zhaozhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his nerves became even more tense.

As soon as she entered the forest, she encountered a maze of such a large scale. She didn't believe that the person or thing behind this trick had no backup plan!

The smoke cleared, and a stone door about two people tall appeared in front of her.

There were two candles hanging on the door, and they also looked like mermaid candles, but they seemed to be older than the one in her hand.

What a generous gesture! Lu Zhaozhao sighed inwardly. She remembered her senior brother saying that these mermaid candles were rare and hard to come by, even at a fortune. And this was just a door, and they had two of them. That was quite a generous gesture.

But the moment she opened the door, this idea was completely annihilated.

Behind the door is a long corridor with no end in sight. Every two steps there is an elaborately carved candlestick with various exotic beasts and birds of prey carved on it, and all the candles burning on the candlesticks are mermaid candles.

This can no longer be described as a grand gesture.

Lu Zhaozhao glanced at the candlesticks and found that she didn't recognize most of the patterns on them.

She fixed her gaze on the endless depths of the corridor again and walked into the stone gate.

The moment she entered, the stone door behind her closed tightly.

Does this mean that I have cut off my retreat?

This thought popped up in Lu Zhaozhao's mind at an inappropriate time.

She shook her head slightly and smiled, dismissing the thoughts in her mind and continued walking forward.

When she walked into the corridor, she found that the walls were made of white jade and carved with various reliefs. No wonder the light from the corridor dazzled her when she opened the door.

I don’t know how long I walked, but gradually, a stone door appeared in front of me, the same as the one I entered at the beginning.

The moment she stood in front of the door, it opened automatically. The candles inside were lit up row by row until the last row was lit. Only then could Lu Zhaozhao see the whole picture of the stone chamber.

The stone chamber was incredibly spacious, perhaps even the Qing Emperor Huizong's council hall, which could accommodate a thousand people, was larger than it. Bronze carvings were everywhere, and the sculptures seemed to depict similar scenes to those in the corridor she had just walked through. Before her feet was a staircase paved with white jade. At the end of the jade steps was a high platform. She could not tell what was placed on it; she could only vaguely see a faint green light.

The interior is quiet, yet the decoration is extremely luxurious.

Lu Zhaozhao held the Yuanxu mirror tightly, not daring to relax for a moment.

She hadn't encountered anything on her way here, which made her nerves twitch slightly. She didn't believe that the mysterious place that suddenly appeared in the dense forest would only have a maze at the entrance.

But standing here wouldn't tell anything. After taking a deep breath, Lu Zhaozhao stepped onto the first step.

As you walk, the floating paintings on the edge of the steps begin to change their content, and a new floating painting appears with each step you take.

Halfway through the walk, she roughly guessed the content.

The story goes that long ago, there was a cultivator who, on the day of his birth, a white asteroid passed through the sky and crashed into the mountains near his home. Born with this strange phenomenon, the child was born with an innate intelligence and displayed a strong talent for cultivation from a young age. He could replicate any martial arts he saw with just one copy.

Such talent attracted the attention of major sects of cultivation, and they all extended olive branches to him, but unexpectedly, he rejected all the sects and then went deep into the western border alone.

Demons were rampant in the western region, but he was extremely talented. After cutting off the head of the demon dragon, he obtained a secret book.

The relief did not mention the contents of this secret book, but Lu Zhaozhao thought it must be a rare and extraordinary book, because the content later showed that the peaceful life of this genius was broken.

The secret has attracted countless coveters. He is trapped in danger every day and may die on the spot if he is not careful.

But he practiced and resisted at the same time, and soon, his swordsmanship became unparalleled in the world, and his own cultivation level reached at least the Return to Void Realm.

No one in the world could match him. Logically, his life should have returned to normal, but something unexpected happened.

The secret comes from a demon dragon, who was born with the ability to bewitch people. In addition, his journey can be said to be forged in blood, so his violence is getting more and more serious, and his inner demons have even reached the point of controlling people's hearts.

At the end of the story, he found a way to suppress his inner demons, but it doesn't say whether he was successful.

After reading the whole thing, Lu Zhaozhao couldn't help but feel a little emotional. His life had been full of ups and downs, starting with the secret teachings and ending with the secret teachings. He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

However, there is no time for her to feel sorry for others now.

In front of her was a table with a box emitting a faint green light.

The moment she reached out to touch the box, the entire stone chamber shook violently, and a powerful attack knocked her back. She only managed to steady herself after retreating to the last step.

At the same time, a deep voice rang out: "You ignorant youngster, how dare you touch my things!"
