Gu Xiaoxiao had observed Xi Yu with a telescope in this rainforest for many days, but she only knew the basics.

At this time, knowing only a little is no different from knowing nothing, and it may even increase the psychological burden.

Since he knew nothing, what he needed to do was to face the mystery directly.

The two men kept leaving those tall and lush trees behind, and were getting closer and closer to the strange big tree.

The closer she got to the tree, the more rapid Gu Xiaoxiao's breathing became, like a fish about to be stranded on the shore.

Gu Jiu was right, this was her inner demon.

She must look the other person in the eye and then find an opportunity to defeat him.

Looking at the pair of shoulders in front of her that looked relaxed and casual, yet seemed to be able to hold up the sky, Gu Xiaoxiao's breathing became even again.

With such a thick thigh here, what is she afraid of?

If even Gu Jiu can't solve Xi Yu's problem, then I'm afraid no one in the world can solve it.

After about an incense stick of time, the stone house under the big tree was already in sight.

Gu Xiaoxiao was just about to ask Gu Jiu to wait a moment, but Gu Jiu had already walked straight into the courtyard.

Seeing this, Gu Xiaoxiao could only follow immediately.

At this time, this strange tree and this house brought her a huge sense of oppression. She only felt that this tree and this house were alive, and there were countless eyes looking at her.

Under this huge feeling of oppression, Gu Xiaoxiao wished she could become one with Gu Jiu.

At this time, Gu Jiu had already arrived at the door of the stone house and had already placed his hand on the stone door.

Gu Xiaoxiao felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat. What would happen if Xi Yu was inside when the door was opened?

There was a creaking sound, and the stone door was pushed open. The scene in the room quickly caught Gu Jiu's eyes.

There was no one in the room, only the simplest stone bed and stone bench, without even a quilt.

The whole house gives people a cold and hard feeling. It is hard to imagine that a person can live in such an environment for hundreds of years.

All these things seem to indicate one thing - Xi Yu is no longer a human being.

According to the story Gu Jiu knew, Xi Yu had already died once. Can a person who died and was resurrected still be called a "human"?

Gu Jiu's eyes swept across the not very spacious house like lightning, and soon he found a stone slab in the house.

There was nothing underneath the stone slab, obviously there was another world underneath.

He walked over and lightly tapped it with his right foot. The entire stone slab fell lightly to the side, like a falling leaf, without making any sound.

Under the stone slab was a downward passage. Gu Jiu looked at the nervous Gu Xiaoxiao and smiled, "Xiaoxiao, you're so cowardly now. You weren't like that when you beat me up."

Gu Xiaoxiao swallowed and said, "Who's scared?"

Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you go ahead."

Gu Xiaoxiao's face turned pale and she asked, "What?"

Gu Jiu said, "Miss Xiaoxiao, I told you to go in front. How can you, a girl, let a boy take the lead?"

Gu Xiaoxiao cried and asked, "Are you still considered a boy?"

Gu Jiu touched his Adam's apple and said, "It's genuine. If you still don't believe me, I can take off my pants."

Gu Xiaoxiao waved her hand and said, "Humph, I don't want to see! I'll go ahead, and you have to follow closely. Don't get lost if you're so directionally challenged."

As she spoke, Gu Xiaoxiao came to the passage nervously.

The meaning of her words just now was very clear - "Brother, you must follow me closely. If you get lost, I will be in trouble."

The downward passage was very dark, so Gu Xiaoxiao had to draw out her Zen stick and let it emit warm light.

Looking at the light on the Zen staff, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

After all, she has saved many people with the help of this Zen stick.

Gu Xiaoxiao walked in.

In her sight, the downward passage was rough and winding, like the intestines of some animal.

Gu Xiaoxiao was walking inside, feeling very nervous, which could be seen from her tense shoulders.

But now Gu Jiu's attention was not on her shoulders, but on her back.

These Miao clothes are really beautiful. I want Xiao Yingying to wear them too? And Zhao Chuling!

If Gu Xiaoxiao knew what Gu Jiu was thinking at the moment, she might really give Gu Jiu more than ten hits with the Zen stick.

Chapter 38 Blood Words and Wooden Door

Just like the last time Lu Hongling came, this winding downward passage was not long.

Soon, a wooden door appeared in front of Gu Xiaoxiao and Gu Jiu.

The wooden door is very new. Judging from the shallow shavings on it, it looks like it was just planed by a carpenter.

Just when Gu Xiaoxiao was still wondering what was at the door and whether Xi Yu was behind it, Gu Jiu's hand had already jumped over her shoulder and pushed the door open with a creak.

Gu Xiaoxiao stood at the door and had no intention of going in, but was pushed in by Gu Jiu.

Behind the door was a stone chamber, which was very dim, and even the range of light from the Zen staff was much smaller.

Just as Gu Xiaoxiao moved her Zen stick to the side, preparing to see the surrounding situation clearly, a series of bright red words suddenly caught her eye, and she gasped in fright.

The bright red words looked like they were painted in blood.

These words were so densely packed that they extended from the walls to the roof, making one's scalp tingle.

Yes, Gu Jiu also felt a little scalp-tingling because he already had some intensive phobia.

The characters were distorted, and every stroke revealed a sense of despair, like the last struggle of a drowning person.

There are so many of these characters that it’s hard to count them, but they are just a repetition of one word – “escape”.

Gu Xiaoxiao's entire body was trembling, and she couldn't help but tremble as she asked, "Could this be the words left by our master?"

Seeing these words, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think of Lu Hongling.

Gu Jiu shook his head and said, "How long would it take for a person to write so many words? Unless your master is crazy, he would not do such a stupid thing."

After hearing Gu Jiu's words, Gu Xiaoxiao's fear not only did not ease, but deepened.

The scene of Lu Hongling standing in this room and writing these words involuntarily emerged in her mind.

Such a master is too strange and too scary.

At this moment, Gu Xiaoxiao would rather her master died without a complete body than write these bloody words full of despair here again and again.

The room soon came to an end, and before them appeared the same wooden door as before.

Gu Xiaoxiao was still in a daze, but Gu Jiu had already pushed the door open with a creak.

It was also a stone house, with nothing in it but bloody and crazy fonts.

This time, the words on the house changed. The first half of the house was still the word "escape", but the back had become the three words "want to eat people".

In this dark tomb, the same bright red font gives people two completely different emotions.

The word "escape" means despair, while "wanting to eat people" means madness.

In Gu Jiu's eyes, these words piled up densely together looked like the red spots on the face of a skin patient, a bit disgusting and a bit scary.

At this time, Gu Xiaoxiao's breathing became rapid. She always felt that this place was like a huge ice cellar that was going to freeze her and bury her.

It was as if those midnight nightmares were about to become a clear reality at this moment.

Gu Jiu held her shoulders, and the next moment, the Vairocana energy in Gu Xiaoxiao's body suddenly began to flow, perfectly merging with the energy transmitted by Gu Jiu.

Gu Xiaoxiao, whose limbs were originally stiff, suddenly felt her body warmed up a lot, and her pale face regained its color.

Gu Jiu let go and said, "Xiaoxiao, don't be so scared."

Gu Xiaoxiao adjusted her breathing and nodded.

To be honest, this place is too depressing. Even Gu Jiu felt a little uncomfortable when he came here.

Xi Yu, this "saint" who has existed like a mystery for hundreds of years, but no one dares to touch him easily, is truly the most terrifying "person" in the Tang Dynasty, without a doubt.

In this world, Xi Yu is probably the only one like her.

She was originally a human being, and a saint respected by everyone. It is precisely because she was once a saint and has now become neither human nor ghost that she is the most terrifying.

At this moment, Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly screamed and took several steps back.

Gu Jiu quickly turned around and found Gu Xiaoxiao staring at the ground in front of him.

He quickly followed Gu Xiaoxiao's gaze and found that a face had appeared on the ground at some point.

Yes, a face, like a painting on the ground, or like a relief embedded in the ground.

The face was not very clear, and in Gu Jiu's eyes it looked like a face that had been melted by roasting, so it looked particularly terrifying.

Gu Xiaoxiao was holding a Zen stick and looked very nervous.

She glanced at Gu Jiu and said with a trembling voice, "I think this face looks like Master's."

In this gloomy underground, in a room filled with bloody words, a blurry human face suddenly appeared. This was already scary enough.

But now Gu Xiaoxiao said that this face belonged to her own master. How terrified would she be?

Gu Jiu came to Gu Xiaoxiao's side and asked doubtfully, "How can you recognize her even with her face like this?"

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "I don't know why, but it feels very similar."

Gu Jiu said calmly, "People's feelings are sometimes wrong. Most illusions come from their own imagination. Xiaoxiao, you are afraid of this place, and even afraid of what happened to your master, so your heart can't help but connect them together."

Gu Xiaoxiao glanced at Gu Jiu and nodded reluctantly.

But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the wooden door at the back.

At this moment, Gu Xiaoxiao's shoulders hunched like a cat with its fur standing on end.

The knocking sound continued, and was particularly obvious in this silent blood-stained stone chamber.

Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully, "Xi Yu?"

He hasn't seen a living person since entering the rainforest.

When the person knocked on the door, the person that Gu Jiu naturally thought of was her.

The same is true for Gu Xiaoxiao, so now she has become sensitive and fearful again.

She had once used a telescope to observe Xi Yu from more than ten miles away, but even at that distance, she felt suffocated.

Now, thinking that the other party was knocking on the door right there, she naturally became even more scared.

Gu Xiaoxiao has made great progress in recent years, especially in her realm. After inheriting the Buddha statue, her progress can be said to be rapid.

But her state of mind did not keep up. After all, she was just a young woman in her early twenties. How could she become experienced all of a sudden?

Not everyone is Gu Jiu. Not only is he powerful, but he is also very experienced in dealing with strange events.

Gu Jiu touched Gu Xiaoxiao's head, signaling her to be quiet.

After Gu Xiaoxiao calmed down a little, Gu Jiu came to the wooden door.

The knocking sound was still ringing without any change, giving people a very mechanical and old-fashioned feeling.

Gu Jiu frowned and opened the wooden door with a creak...

Chapter 39 Who is lying inside

As the wooden door was opened, the knocking sound stopped abruptly.

There was no one behind the door, and it was still the stone chamber covered with blood words.

At this time, even Gu Jiu frowned.

Because even he didn't find any signs of living creatures, so where did the knocking sound just now come from?

Is there really something in this world that he cannot perceive?

So Gu Jiu stretched out his hand and took down the wooden door.

He looked at it several times and even used the "Seeing Through Fire Technique", but still found nothing unusual.
