Misguided practice of sinister cultivation techniques: Slander! The problem lies with you all, not me!-Chapter 1082 - 561: Undying Fairy (Part 2)

Then what is the meaning of this door and the lock on it?

Exactly because it seems meaningless, but it exists here, it makes one feel a sense of weirdness.

The Murong brothers first peered through the hole in the door to look inside. After confirming there was no danger, he stabbed it with a knife.

With a 'bang', the wooden door made a sound as if metal was striking stone.

That's because the entire wooden door was frozen, hard as iron.

With just that one stab, a man-sized hole appeared in the tall wooden door.

The Murong brothers were the first to crawl through it.

The world beyond the wooden door was quite different from the path before.

The ice outside was as clear as crystal glass, but inside were many dark impurities and numerous wooden strips seemingly used for reinforcement.

The Murong brothers asked, "What do you think this place looks like?"

Ziyu looked around and replied, "A mining tunnel."

As soon as she said those two words, both the Murong brothers and Ning Qing had expressions of realization.

There was a jade vein outside Yushi Town, and the Murong brothers had visited that mining tunnel before.

Now, with Ziyu's description, it truly seemed 70 to 80 percent similar.

Especially these wooden strips used for reinforcement, the craftsmanship is quite similar.

After walking a bit further, a crossroad passage appeared before them.

This time, strips of iron had appeared on either side of the passage.

Ziyu said, "These are mining tracks."

"Tracks for what?" Ning Qing asked with confusion.

She thought she knew quite a bit, but compared to Ziyu, she felt like a little kid.

"During mining, some ores were too heavy to transport easily, so the Mo Sect made small carts that could travel on these tracks to transport ores and people."

As Ziyu spoke, she had already started walking to the right.

"Judging by the track marks, those carts must often go this way."

Ziyu led the way in front.

Here, because they had gone deeper into the snowy peak and the ice layer contained many impurities, the environment became much darker.

Ziyu had already lit a Fire Stick for illumination.

The Murong brothers and Ning Qing followed closely behind.

Suddenly, the two noticed Ziyu slowing down.

They quickly moved closer and found that the wooden boards on either side had become more dense.

Not only that, but there were yellow talisman papers plastered all over them.

The talisman papers were drawn with cinnabar symbols that looked as if they were written in blood.

Seeing this scene, it was hard for them not to feel a chill.

Because before climbing the mountain, the nuns from the snow cloister had mentioned that the walls and tiles of the snow cloister were red because of the ghost blood spilled by King Yan who executed evils day and night.

Could it be that this sacred snow mountain indeed harbors evil spirits?

No, once they considered that this peak was behind the Youngest Sister Peak, like its shadow, this snowy peak felt peculiar, hard to call "sacred".

Just then, the clanking sound they heard last night appeared again.

Almost involuntarily, the Murong brothers and Ziyu drew their swords while Ning Qing extended her palm.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

...

The more they walked, the louder the sound became, and the more wooden strips and yellow talismans surrounded them.

The three couldn't help but wonder if this clanging sound was perhaps caused by some evil spirits pulling chains or something similar?

Would recklessly approaching result in disrupting some taboo?

However, none of them stopped moving forward.

Especially the Murong brothers, their footsteps carried a sense of determination.

He and Duan Yun had slaughtered in the Netherworld together; even the Ghost Mother was slain by their joint efforts. What evil spirit could the Young Hero Murong possibly fear now?

Ahead, the clanging sound was very near now.

The Murong brothers waved his hand, signaling the two women to move back while he went to investigate first.

As with the previous turn, the Murong brothers not only did not hesitate but jumped forward first.

The instant he jumped out, Ning Qing and Ziyu's nerves tightened.

Quickly after, they saw the Murong brothers' shoulders relax, and they too let out a sigh of relief.

The Murong brothers waved to them, signaling them to come over.

The two walked over to see that at the end of the track was a pitch black cart.

Underneath the cart was a large hole, from which a wind was blowing upward.

The wind was shaking the cart, causing it to rock left and right on the rail, producing the clanging sound.

The Murong brothers grumbled, "We really scare ourselves."

As he spoke, he leaned over.

But as he approached the mining cart, his previously relaxed body suddenly tensed, causing him to spring up almost hitting the top of the tunnel.

"There's someone!"

The moment Ning Qing and Ziyu approached, the Murong brothers said, still in shock.

Is there someone on the cart?

They knew he wasn't easily frightened; even if there was a body on the cart, his reaction shouldn't have been so intense.

Ziyu gripped her sword and leaned forward, allowing her to see inside the cart.

Immediately, she too recoiled.

Inside the cart was the head of a child, swaying left and right, suddenly smiling at her.

This proved that the person was alive.

But the eerie part was, she couldn't see the child's body.

It was as if there was only a head there.

How can a person survive with only a head!

There really are ghosts here!

At that moment, every hair on Ziyu's body stood on end.

However, while the head clearly saw them, it made no other movements.

Thus, the three assumed a triangular position and moved closer again.

This time, Ziyu finally saw clearly.

Underneath the child's head wasn't just emptiness, but a vase.

A very slender vase, with a small section of neck on top, and then the head, making it look as if the head was a flower planted in the vase.

At this moment, the "flower" in the vase saw them and smiled again, its big eyes blinking.

According to logic, this head belonged to a cute little girl, but here it appeared very terrifying.

The Murong brothers clutched the Blood Shadow Mad Blade and asked, "What are you?"

The little girl stared at him, continuing to sway her head left and right.

Just when they thought she wouldn't speak, the little girl suddenly said, "You're asking me!"

"I'm the 'Bottle Fairy' from the Moon Palace."

"The beautiful Bottle Fairy."

At this point, her voice was still very lively and cute, but the next moment, her tone changed, demanding, "Since you've seen the fairy, why not kneel?"

Her voice now sounded very sinister, like a jealous old hag.

Yet in the next instant, she was cheerful again, "You're asking me!"

"I'm the 'Bottle Fairy' from the Moon Palace."

"The beautiful Bottle Fairy."

The speed of her changing demeanor was almost enough to rival Ziyu, who was known for mood swings.

Realizing she was only talking and not using any tricks, the Murong brothers continued to hold their blade and asked, "Then what is this place?"

"This place?"

"Of course, this is the Moon Palace."

The 'Bottle Fairy' in the mining cart shook her head and said.

Ziyu thought for a moment and said, "This is obviously the Youngest Sister Peak in the mortal world. How could it be the Moon Palace?"

The Bottle Fairy swayed, "Are you stupid? Look, the moon soil is everywhere here. If this isn't the Moon Palace, what is it?"

"Moon soil?"

Here, the mining tunnel was still plastered with dense wooden strips and talismans.

Ziyu turned, giving a flick with her long sword, revealing a few wooden strips.

The wooden strips fell away, along with the talisman papers, revealing the wall of the mining tunnel.

At this moment, the trio discovered that the ice layer here was entirely different.

It was filled with more impurities, clustering together like black cotton mixed into the ice layer, very evident.

Ning Qing blurted, "Is this moon soil? The soil from the moon?"

At this point, the expressions of the Murong brothers' trio became strange.

This place really is related to the moon!

Ning Qing had seen this kind of treasure map on the moon, leading them here, where they found a "Bottle Fairy," who claimed this place as the Moon Palace because it had moon soil everywhere.

Could this be the moon sending them a message?

What exactly exists on the moon that it can send messages involving them this way?

The Murong brothers turned and asked, "If this place is the Moon Palace, what do you have here?"

"Of course, there's the immortal fairy."

"Do you want to see?"

"She's just ahead."

The 'Bottle Fairy' swayed her head as she spoke.
