Chapter 481 - A Strange Place (1/2)

Thinking of the Inverted Big Dipper Array, Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t help sucking in a cold breath.

The Big Dipper Array had seven stars, which corresponded to the seven floors, but in their ancestral shrine, the first floor did not need a teleportation array at all, so where does the extra teleportation array lead to?

What’s more, he had just overlooked a point–the teleportation array that appeared every ten years when he came to the ancestral temple was not the one they just stood on, but it just happened to be the array at the other end that they mistook as the “first floor’s array”!

“Dage, what’s the matter?” Yan Tianhen looked at Lin Xuanzhi puzzledly.

Lin Xuanzhi calmed down and squinted his eyes, “We went to another ancestral shrine.”

Yan Tianhen paused, “What do you mean?”

Lin Xuanzhi turned around and looked back at the exact same corridor behind him, “It seems that the two arrays at the opposite ends are the ways to teleport people to two different spaces. If I guessed correctly, on the ancestral worship day once every ten years, the array is facing the right direction. However, at other times, the Big Dipper Array is inverted. If we want to go to the seventh floor on any normal day, we have to go to the teleportation array at the other end. It seems that we are on the wrong path.”

Yan Tianhen shivered with fright.

Lin Xuanzhi squeezed his hand, “Don’t be afraid, I’m going to see what that creature is trying to do.”

When he squeezed Yan Tianhen’s hand, he felt that his hand was a little cold, as if it were a little wet, but Lin Xuanzhi didn’t care too much, thinking that Yan Tianhen was just afraid.

He took Yan Tianhen and walked forward a few steps. Although his steps were light, he felt that there was something wrong with the floor when he stepped on it. The sound reverberated in the corridor where there was no end to it. It sounded very sinister.

The corridor was very long. Lin Xuanzhi walked for a long time, but there was still no end in sight. He stopped, bit his finger, drew a symbol out of thin air, and flicked a drop of blood towards the front, saying, “Break!”

This wasn’t all; Lin Xuanzhi turned around again, using the bloody finger to draw between the eyebrows of Yan Tianhen beside him.

The space was instantly distorted, and the Lin family’s ancestral temple appeared in front of him.

He was still on the first floor, and even his feet had not stepped out of the teleportation array just now, but the others had disappeared.

Standing next to him, Yan Tianhen’s face changed slightly, and suddenly withdrew his hand.

“When did you see through this?” A young man wrapped in a white robe quickly retreated back, only to find that he had been blocked by a magic weapon that he didn’t know when Lin Xuanzhi placed on him.

Lin Xuanzhi looked at him, “From the beginning, you pretended to look like him, but it’s a pity that you didn’t handle the details properly.”

“What details?” The young man pursued him relentlessly, unable to believe that he could be seen through so easily.

He clearly had been observing Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen secretly for a long time, he even imitated their movements and expressions, but how could Lin Xuanzhi see through it at a glance?

Of course, Lin Xuanzhi naturally would not tell such things.

Lin Xuanzhi drew out the Zhige sword, “Even though your illusion is powerful, you are just a scapegoat for someone else. Where is the real murderer now?”

The young man looked at Lin Xuanzhi in astonishment, “How do you know that I didn’t do it?”

Lin Xuanzhi said indifferently, “The smell on your body. The one who really killed those people, inhaled the incense of the Lin family.”

The boy was taken aback and couldn’t help sighing.

Obviously, he also knew that the smell on his body was completely different from that of the real murderer.

“I saw that you are a descendant of the Lin family and originally didn’t want your life, but now I have to take it.” The young man said in a low voice, and suddenly there was a black umbrella in his hand, and he came towards Lin Xuanzhi.

Yan Tianhen felt the goose bumps on his arm, looked around warily, and walked forward. He didn’t know why he turned around and came to a dark and steep wilderness.

The surrounding trees were low and chaotic, with gusts of Yin wind and shadows of ghosts. Looking towards the sky, there was only a pale moon in the gloomy dark night sky that emitted a strange white light, and the shadows on the ground were like winding tentacles.

Yan Tianhen swallowed hard.

He felt something drifting by and it even brushed against his arm.

Yan Tianhen shivered and rubbed his small arm again.

After observing for a while, Yan Tianhen found that he still had to walk forward, otherwise it wouldn’t be a solution to just stand there.

Although the trees here looked messy and disorderly, if you observed closely, you could see a small path in the middle. Yan Tianhen walked on the weed-free path, only feeling that the soil under his feet was very soft, as if it was making people sink down.

He sped up unconsciously.

He didn’t know how far he had gone. Yan Tianhen saw a large number of lights appearing in front of the shadows, and voices uttering words could be faintly heard, but there were clouds of fog that appeared out of nowhere, dispersing those lights. It spread out, and against the pale moonlight, it became more and more strange.

Yan Tianhen paused and ran forward quickly.

The more he ran forward, the denser the fog became. Just as Yan Tianhen blindly rushed forward by relying on the sound, his eyes suddenly opened up, and the fog had scattered. He looked intently in front of him, the lights were bright and it was crowded, the cries and shouts became one, it seemed to be a square, but it was more like a market.

Big red lanterns were hung upstairs on both sides of the streets. There were men and women on the road, and many people were wearing masks, talking in twos and threes, smiling and laughing as they walked forward.
