The figure of the girl at the foot of the hill had been standing in front of the thick fog. She did not turn around to leave, nor did she walk into the fog. On top of the hill, Oxen and Black Dog were lying side by side, looking down with a strange look in their eyes.
After a while, White Lotus suddenly moved. She lifted one of her feet and seemed to want to walk forward.
On top of the hill, Oxen and Black Dog immediately raised their heads and looked at White Lotus in surprise. Atsu even stood up.
White Lotus leaned forward and was about to walk forward, but her foot suddenly stopped in mid-air. Then, no one knew what she was thinking, but she silently retracted her foot. She stood in the same place and began to stare blankly, not moving for a long time.
This confused the two animals on the hill. Atsu turned its head and looked at Oxen. Oxen also had a puzzled look in its eyes. It probably did not understand what the girl at the foot of the hill was trying to do.
Ah-Tu could not hold it in any longer. He approached the green ox and muttered a few words to it in a low voice. The green ox glared at him and shook its huge head. However, it lay down again, as if it did not intend to do anything.
Atsu looked in the direction of the thick fog and seemed to be a little anxious. It then looked down at the foot of the hill. Unexpectedly, White Lotus, who was standing in front of the thick fog and seemed to be hesitating whether to go in or not, suddenly took a few steps back without saying a word. It seemed like she had given up on going in. However, White Lotus's eyes were still on the thick fog in front of her. Occasionally, she would look up at the remaining three strange peaks that were still floating high in the sky. The light in her eyes was dim and difficult to see.
Atsu looked back and forth, and finally, it seemed like it could not stand it anymore. It was either curious or worried about Lu Chen, who had walked into the thick fog and disappeared. It turned around and looked at the fog for a while, then slowly and tentatively walked over.
The place it walked to was the corner of the hill that Oxen had walked out of from the thick fog. It looked no different from its surroundings, at least from outside the thick fog.
Behind it, the green ox seemed to have sensed something as well. It silently turned its head and glanced at Ah-Tu's back.
Standing in front of the thick fog, Atsu only felt that everything in front of it was gray, vague, and unfathomable. There seemed to be a kind of faintly frightening atmosphere in front of it. However, the fact that Lu Chen had walked in and Oxen had also walked out of it probably gave Atsu a lot of courage. Therefore, Atsu did not hesitate for too long. It tentatively raised its foot and stretched out its foot into the thick fog.
Dog leg … The front of the dog's paw touched the fog. Just like all the fog in the world, Ah-Tu's foot entered it without feeling anything.
The thick fog in front of it was not like the terrible poisonous miasma in the legends, where anything that touched it would immediately be poisoned and turn into a pool of yellow water. Everything seemed to be normal. Except for the fact that the fog was a little thicker, it seemed to be harmless to Atsu.
After a few attempts, Atsu suddenly became bold. It turned around and barked at Oxen, then walked forward. However, it did not notice that behind it, Oxen was looking at it as if it was looking at a fool.
Atsu was very happy and proud. After its body entered the thick fog, it found that nothing had happened. Everything was safe. Then it wagged its tail and turned around. It proudly poked its head out of the fog and barked at Oxen. It seemed to be saying hello, but it also seemed to be saying something like "look at me."
Oxen looked at it quietly with a strange look in its eyes.
Atsu grinned. Just as it was about to show off a few more times, its face suddenly froze. It seemed to have felt something. A moment later, a trace of panic suddenly flashed across its eyes. However, before it could react, it saw the thick fog around it suddenly rolled rapidly from all directions and suddenly surrounded it.
Atsu whined, and then its whole body seemed to be suddenly lifted into the air. Then, with a swoosh, the dog's head, which was the only thing left outside the fog, was suddenly dragged into the thick fog. Only a faint hole was left, and then it was immediately filled by the surrounding fog.
In the depths of the thick fog far away, the angry and panicked barks of the black dog could be vaguely heard.
Oxen rolled its eyes and seemed to sigh helplessly. Then it stood up and slowly walked into the thick fog, step by step, into the depths of the fog.
...
About ten feet away from the thick fog, White Lotus, who was hesitating and pacing back and forth, suddenly raised her head and looked in front of her with a somewhat surprised expression. At that moment, when she was hesitating and struggling in her heart, she suddenly seemed to hear a strange sound coming from the depths of the thick fog in front of her.
It seemed to be a scream, a little panicked and a little shrill. Perhaps it was because of this that White Lotus actually could not tell what it was. Was it a human, a beast, or one of those mysterious spirits and ghosts in the legends?
This thick fog sealed off the forbidden area of the Kunlun Party. For many years, the Kunlun Party had forbidden ordinary disciples to come here. In other words, great cultivators who were above the level of Zhenren Yuanying would have some opportunities to go to the four strange peaks above the clouds in the sky to cultivate. However, this place on the ground seemed to have always been a place that only the few people with the highest status could enter.
In other words, in the past hundred years, it seemed that the only people who could set foot in the forbidden area of Kunlun were Lord Tianlan and her deceased master Hakushin Jinkun.
Until today, there was a third person … Lu Chen.
Carrying the strange order secretly given by Lord Tianlan, White Lotus of course knew that the final destination of Lu Chen's journey to the west was the forbidden area of Kunlun. Therefore, although she was cunningly thrown off by Lu Chen halfway, she was very angry but not flustered. She directly returned to the Kunlun Party and sneaked into the vicinity of the forbidden area of Kunlun Mountain. After waiting patiently for a period of time, as expected, Lu Chen also came here with Black Dog.
However, along the way, the matter of probing Lu Chen that was originally given to her by Lord Tianlan had completely failed.
If it failed, then so be it. Anyway, when the time came, she just had to find a way to evade it. Otherwise, there was no better way. However, the forbidden area of Kunlun in front of her made White Lotus feel a little conflicted.
Many years ago, when she was still a disciple of Hakushin Jinkun, she lived on the Winter Peak of the four strange peaks. At that time, she looked down from the sky. Of course, she could see the thick fog on a sunny day. She used to be curious about what was in the forbidden area.
However, now that time had passed, even the Winter Peak had been destroyed in the mountain. Naturally, the feelings of the past were no longer there. Even if it was her, she was just a pitiful person who lived under someone else's roof and had to rely on someone else.
But what secret was hidden in this thick fog?
Judging from the solemnity of the Kunlun Party, there must be a big secret in it. Then, could this secret be an opportunity, an opportunity that she longed for?
No matter who it was, falling from the high clouds to the dust all of a sudden, from a proud daughter of Heaven to a puppet whose life and death were in the hands of someone else, everyone would feel indignant and want to break free.
No matter how big the price was, they would be willing to pay.
White Lotus's expression kept changing. Then, she could not help but slowly approach the thick fog. In the next moment, she suddenly gritted her teeth, and then she strode forward and walked into the mist as well. She was walking towards her unknown fate!
