Seeing that the woman's leg was about to hit his head, Du Kang instinctively closed his eyes, but he didn't feel the pain of having his head crushed like a watermelon. Secretly opening one eye, Du Kang saw a small white paper lantern blocking the leg.
Looking at the lantern, it was the long-haired woman whom he had spat a mouthful of True Yang Saliva.
"Sister!" The short-haired woman retracted her long leg angrily, pushed Du Kang away, and walked to the long-haired woman.
"Little sister, he is the person invited by Miss. He is a distinguished guest. You can't hurt him."
The long-haired woman patted the short-haired woman's small hand which was holding the spear, turned to Du Kang and smiled faintly, revealing two beautiful dimples, and said softly, "Young Master, our Miss invited you. She has no intention of harming you. Please don't make it difficult for us."
"Xiao Pang, you go with them. If there is any danger, I will take care of it." Weiwei's voice sounded in Du Kang's ears.
Du Kang twitched the corner of his mouth and said in his heart, "Sister Chu, that is a dragon's pool and tiger's den. Nine out of ten people will die. If I go there, I don't know if I can come back."
"Just go. If there is any danger, I naturally have a way to save you. What? You don't even believe me?"
Weiwei's voice was a little unhappy. Du Kang had to "grudgingly" sigh in his heart, "Sister Chu, for the sake of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, you have to help me."
"Go away, go away!" Weiwei scolded with a smile.
Du Kang smiled indifferently, holding the Octupole Blast in his hand, his thumb gently stroking the dragon head, and squinted at the two women, "Okay, I, Du Kang, will risk my life to accompany you today. Lead the way."
"This …" The long-haired woman's eyes fell on the Octupole Blast in Du Kang's hand.
Du Kang shrugged and carried the Octupole Blast on his shoulder, "I don't know if it is a banquet at Hongmen or a welcoming banquet. I just want to make myself feel at ease."
"You!"
Seeing that Du Kang did not understand the rules and did not give him face, the short-haired woman took a step forward and prepared to fight with Du Kang with her spear. However, she was stopped by the long-haired woman. She nodded to Du Kang and said, "Since Sir is so cautious, then please come with me."
After the long-haired woman finished speaking, she turned sideways and walked away leisurely with the white lantern in her hand. Du Kang followed behind her, followed by the short-haired woman who was holding the spear. The two women watched Du Kang from the front and back.
Du Kang's heart was like fifteen buckets of water being drawn. He was on high alert and kept glancing back from time to time. He was really afraid that the short-haired woman would suddenly shoot him.
With the long-haired woman leading the way, the Earth Dragon's mist slowly parted like waves, revealing a bluestone path in the middle.
The bluestone path was mottled with age, moss, cracks, and yellow-green weeds on both sides. The path twisted and turned until it reached the depths of the mist.
After walking for about five or six minutes, Du Kang finally saw a light in the white mist. As he got closer, the white mist dissipated, and a pavilion appeared in front of Du Kang.
This palace that only appeared in ancient movies actually appeared in such a mirage mist. It was right in the middle of the white whirlpool pit. At the end of the bluestone path was a veranda that led directly to the palace's main entrance.
"Sir, please."
The long-haired woman stood on the veranda and signaled Du Kang to follow, while the short-haired woman with the spear stayed at the end of the bluestone path and did not follow them into the veranda.
Without the evil star, Du Kang was a little relieved. He walked slowly behind the long-haired woman and looked at the water outside through the square windows on both sides of the veranda. A white mist kept rolling against the water. It seemed that there was only white mist between heaven and earth, and there was only such a lonely veranda in it.
"Sir, please. Miss is inside. She has been waiting for a long time."
The long-haired woman walked to the palace's main entrance and stopped. She picked up the white paper lantern and blew it gently. The candle went out, and she disappeared into the boundless darkness.
"Hehe." Du Kang habitually touched the tip of his nose and looked up at the main entrance in front of him. Damn it, it was really similar to the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City. Judging from the width, it was no problem for six Dayun heavy trucks to walk side by side. The height was also nearly three stories high. The vermilion painted door was covered with bowl-sized golden lotus nails. "My goodness, is the Emperor still living here?"
He pressed both of his hands on the city gate. Suddenly, a feeling that was colder than a freezer hit his whole body. It was so cold that Du Kang shivered and quickly withdrew his hands. When he looked down, he saw that his palms had been frozen into a thin layer of ice that was emitting white cold air.
"How … how can I get in?"
Du Kang looked at the gate and looked at the ice water that was gradually melting in his palms. Finally, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Hey, open the door!
I can't get in! "
Unexpectedly, as soon as Du Kang's voice died away, the echoes came from all around, and the heavy gate in front of him, which was comparable to the city gate, slowly opened to both sides with a squeak.
"Damn it, do my words work so well?"
Du Kang poked his head into the gate and looked inside. The ground was a square made of bluestone bricks, and there were bronze maids and bronze lamps on both sides. In the distance, there was a dark mass of buildings, and only the main hall in the center was lit.
"Since you are here, why did you stop at the door?
There is no way back, but there is a way forward. Take a look yourself. "An illusory voice came faintly from the depths of the palace.
Du Kang subconsciously turned his head and looked back, only to see a vast expanse of whiteness behind him. The veranda and bluestone road had all disappeared.
With a gulp, Du Kang swallowed hard and muttered in his heart, "Damn it, Sister Chu, can you do it? Why is this old ghost so arrogant? Can you beat it?"
"Shut up. If you talk again, you will be discovered by it. Go in, I will keep you safe." Weiwei's voice sounded in Du Kang's heart, and then it fell silent. Du Kang asked again, and then there was no more sound.
"Damn it, I'll fight it. If I die, I'll face the sky. If I don't die, I'll live for thousands of years. Anyway, I can't go back. It's worth it to open my eyes before I die."
Du Kang secretly gritted his teeth and walked into the gate. As Du Kang's foot fell, the gate behind him was closed again with a bang.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the two bronze maids and bronze lamps nearest to Du Kang lit up, and then the lamps gradually lit up until the main hall.
"This is getting interesting."
Du Kang touched the tip of his nose and walked step by step like a tourist who followed the Forbidden City for sightseeing, looking around.
Du Kang found that except for the middle corridor he was walking on, there were empty squares on both sides. Further away was a thick fog, and he couldn't see what was inside.
When he reached the middle section of the tunnel, three arched stone bridges flew over a golden river. He stepped onto the stone bridge in the middle and lowered his head to look at the bottom of the bridge.
There was no water under the three bridges, only piles of white bones. Countless skeletons, human and beast, stared at him silently with their dark eye sockets, looking through his soul.
