"Brother, which way do you think we should go?"

Looking at the two forks in the road surrounded by numerous formations, even Xu Wanqing felt a little lost and couldn't help but ask "Gu Xiu".

When in doubt, ask Gu Xiu.

This was a habit she had developed five hundred years ago. She had thought that after five hundred years, Gu Xiu would have become useless and she would not need to ask for his opinion anymore. However, in the current situation, she was really powerless and could only place her hopes on Gu Xiu again.

only……

Guan Xuelan, who was portraying Gu Xiu, was also worried about her question.

Look to the left.

This is a deep passage that still goes downwards. It seems to have no end. There are faint gusts of fishy wind blowing. There are unimaginable dangers below. It seems that there are terrible monsters living in it.

The other path on the right was flashing with divine light, as if it contained treasures. It kept attracting the two people's attention and even tempting them to choose this path.

"Can't we just explore them one by one?" Guan Xuelan couldn't help but ask.

Xu Wanqing shook her head directly: "I'm afraid not. If I'm not mistaken, this place contains an extremely terrifying formation. No matter which path we choose, the other will be blocked in an instant. In other words, we can only choose one. Even if you and I separate, it will be useless."

"Then let's go right?" Guan Xuelan thought for a moment and suggested, "We're here for the treasure anyway. The road on the left looks even more dangerous. It might even be the lair of monsters in this haunted place. We don't need to take any risks. If that doesn't work, let's go to the right. There must be treasure hidden there."

"Having said that, don't you think this is very strange, junior brother? It's like someone has specially set up a trap like this and is waiting for us to fall into it. We may not know if there are any treasures in it. We may even encounter unimaginable dangers." Xu Wanqing said solemnly.

"Then... let's go left?" Guan Xuelan also felt that Xu Wanqing's words made some sense, and immediately suggested: "According to what you said, since the right side might be a trap, then the left side must be fine, right? Let's just go left."

"No, no, no!"

"Ok?"

"Although my previous guess made sense, it's just a guess after all. What if the right side isn't a trap at all? Then we might be outsmarting ourselves."

Guan Xuelan was now annoyed by Xu Wanqing's annoyance: "This won't work, and that won't work. So, what should we do? We can't just stand here and not leave, right?"

This……

Xu Wanqing was also helpless. She didn't know either. At this moment, she could only smile bitterly and said, "Junior Brother Gu, you have always been smart. Why don't you decide which way we should go."

"I?"

"Yes, it's you. Don't worry, I will follow you wherever you say you want to go."

"This……"

The problem was thrown back to Guan Xuelan. She was also at a loss. Even though she had supreme cultivation, she could not find any clues in this strange place.

However, Xu Wanqing saw that she was in trouble and reminded her considerately:

"Junior brother, feel free to make your choice. Five hundred years ago, when we went out together, you were the one who made the decisions. Back then, we were always able to turn danger into safety. Now that I think about it, it must be because you are blessed with great fortune. With such good fortune, any choice you make will surely be blessed with good luck. Whichever path you find most pleasing is the right one."

There is some truth to what you said.

Although even they couldn't clearly explain what Fuyuan was, they all knew that Fuyuan was unreasonable and was blessed by heaven, and everything went smoothly. In this case, the best way to make a choice was to choose blindly.

Let the power of blessing help, and the result will definitely not be too bad.

Even Guan Xuelan agreed with this statement.

Can……

The problem is that I am not Gu Xiu!

I don’t have any blessings!

Choose your own...

I'm afraid that no matter what I choose, I will be unlucky, right?

But she couldn't say this, so she could only look at the two completely different forks in the road again.

to be frank.

Guan Xuelan actually preferred the route on the right that looked full of jewels and gems. After all, it looked like there were treasures hidden there. If it weren't for Xu Wanqing's words just now, she might have really chosen this route. But with Xu Wanqing's reminder, Guan Xuelan felt that the left might also be the right choice.

For a moment, she was in a dilemma.

I don’t know which way to go.

Xu Wanqing also noticed her hesitation and immediately reminded her, "Junior brother, you don't have to think too much. Just follow your heart."

Guan Xuelan pursed her lips and finally looked towards the road to the right.

But just as he was about to speak, a shout suddenly came from the distance:

"Junior brother, junior sister, where are you?"

"Junior brother, junior sister!"

"Junior brother..."

Ok?

The two of them turned around and saw Yuchi Chunlei's figure slowly walking out of the darkness in the billowing smoke behind them. There were tears on her face, and she was full of fear and timidity. She kept calling out to her junior brothers and sisters.

The appearance of Yuchi Chunlei surprised Guan Xuelan and Xu Wanqing.

They have been in this abyss for ten days.

Before coming down, Yuchi Chunlei was in front of the tentacle monster. Although the tentacle monster did not directly attack at that time, the two women felt that Yuchi Chunlei might be in danger, especially since Yuchi Chunlei had not kept up with them in the ten days since they came down, and both of them deliberately did not mention her again.

In my heart, I already thought of her as dead.

I didn't expect that this idiot was so lucky to survive and even followed me?

but……

"Second Senior Sister, come quickly, we need you!" Guan Xuelan was very excited and even took the initiative to call Yuchi Chunlei the Second Senior Sister.

This made Yuchi Chunlei, who had just followed behind, stunned.

Immediately afterwards, the depressed and sad mood turned into excitement in an instant.

Junior brother...

he……

He calls me senior sister, he recognizes me as his senior sister!

She had indeed not encountered any danger up there before. The reason she did not follow down immediately was not only because she was sad about her junior brother and Xu Wanqing's indifference, but also because she discovered that there was a building hidden inside the tentacle monster above. She even vaguely sensed a familiar breath inside.

That was Gu Xiu's breath.

But unfortunately, she only caught Gu Xiu's breath for that moment. After that, flaming arrows kept shooting out from the building. She looked for a long time but couldn't find a way to enter. In the end, she had no choice but to follow "Gu Xiu" and Xu Wanqing down here.

There is no way, I have to follow.

She was not smart to begin with. After all, five hundred years ago, she had always followed her master and Gu Xiu, and she did whatever they asked her to do. After that, Qingxuan became a holy land, and she only needed to stay in her own Qiming Peak and concentrate on refining weapons. She didn't need to think about the future at all.

But now.

Qingxuan was gone, and she became a lonely ghost. Alone, she didn't even know where to go.

So I thought about it.

Even though she was hurt by "Gu Xiu", she felt that it was too late.

She could only follow in their footsteps.

She had originally prepared herself to continue being ignored and treated coldly by Gu Xiu, but she didn't expect that the situation would be reversed as soon as she came down. Not only did Gu Xiu ask her to call him Second Senior Sister again, he also called her over.

That attitude made her feel like she was back five hundred years ago.

Without any hesitation, Yuchi Chunlei immediately rushed to "Gu Xiu" and said excitedly: "Junior brother, you..."

"Second Senior Sister, please help me see which of these two paths is more suitable for us to choose?" Before she finished speaking, "Gu Xiu" asked first.

what?

Which one to choose?

Xu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, looking blankly at the two forked roads in front of her: "Junior brother, you know me, I'm not smart, you let me choose..."

"It's okay. Everyone knows that you are stupid, but it is said that stupid people have good luck. So I want to ask, which of these two paths do you want to take the most?" It was "Gu Xiu" who spoke directly and dispelled Yuchi Chunlei's concerns.

Say something.

These words were really unpleasant to the ears, and Yuchi Chunlei felt a little hurt in her heart.

But thinking that Gu Xiu needed her help, she quickly suppressed the sting of dissatisfaction. She looked up at the two forked roads and quickly pointed to the one on the right that was obviously hiding a treasure:

"This one, I think..."

"Okay!" Yuchi Chunlei was interrupted for the third time, and then Guan Xuelan pointed directly to the road on the left: "Let's go, we choose this road!"

Say it.

Without waiting for Yuchi Chunlei to react, she stepped out immediately.

Yuchi Chunlei was stunned by this scene. Xu Wanqing couldn't help herself and asked, "Junior brother, are you...are you sure?"

"We were a little uncertain at first, but this idiot chose the most obvious path, which means this place is 800% a trap. In this case, we just need to choose the opposite route, and there will be no problem." Guan Xuelan explained.

This makes a lot of sense. At least Xu Wanqing couldn't help but praise it:

"As expected of my junior fellow apprentice! He's so smart!"

It’s just that Yuchi Chunlei feels a little aggrieved.

Her heart, which had been cheerful at first, fell to the bottom again at this moment. Seeing Guan Xuelan and Xu Wanqing leaving her again and again, Yuchi Chunlei had no choice but to follow them. Even though she felt a thousand grievances in her heart, she had to swallow them down.

Sure enough, Xu Wanqing's judgment was correct.

Just as the three of them stepped into the fork in the road on the left, they saw black fog and thick smoke rolling in. Looking back, they saw that the road behind them had been completely blocked.

this means.

Now, they have no way out.

"Master...Junior Brother, have we...have we made...the right choice?" This sudden scene made Yuchi Chunlei feel a chill in her heart.

Because just when the billowing black smoke blocked their retreat.

In front of their eyes.

Suddenly, a large number of dense black silk threads appeared. The silk threads did not seem to exist physically and could not be touched. When the palm touched them, they passed through directly. More importantly, these silk threads stretched out from the depths below and then went out from the black smoke door behind them.

It is so densely packed that it makes people feel creepy just by looking at it.

Even Guan Xuelan was a little unsure at this moment. Her cultivation had secretly reached its peak, and her soul was constantly moving towards the mysterious thread. She quickly made a judgment:

"These things seem to be a kind of puppetry. It seems that there is someone below, controlling the things above through secret methods."

"Could it be that……"

"Below us is this strange hiding place in the Burial Valley of Immortals?"

"Those ghosts we encountered before, and even that monster that attacked us, were all controlled by these threads?"

This result made the three of them's hair stand on end.

If that's the case...

So, are they taking the right path or the wrong one?
