Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 740: Xuannv Grants the Secret

Wu Xian slowly opened his eyes.

At first glance, he saw nothing.

Because it was pitch black all around and there was no light source, it felt like I had entered an 'underground maze' paradise again.

But the current situation was even worse than the underground maze, because Wu Xian was hanging upside down.

His legs seemed to be tied up by something, blood gathered towards his head, his whole face was a little swollen, and his slightly curly hair was also falling down.

Fortunately, Wu Xian's body and hands were not tied, so he did an upside-down sit-up with difficulty. When he touched his feet, he found that he was tied with a thick hemp rope that was slightly damp.

Wu Xian fumbled for a while and found that there was a loose noose tied around his feet. He stopped just as he was about to untie the rope.

He doesn't know what the surrounding environment is like yet.

If the abyss below is the same as the 'Valley of the Dead Paradise', wouldn't untying the rope be tantamount to suicide?
So Wu Xian took off his sunglasses and threw them on the ground.

Snapped!
The sunglasses fell to the ground quickly, and judging from the sound, the ground below was normal and not particularly high.

So he stood up again, untied the rope, and fell to the ground with a plop.

After landing, Wu Xian wiped the sweat off his face.

"The first trouble of Xinfudi has been solved."

Fortunately, Wu Xian maintained minimal exercise occasionally while eating, drinking and having fun in the real world, and his physical fitness was slightly enhanced due to the improvement of his Taoism. Otherwise, he would not be able to perform such difficult movements while wearing thick clothes.

tread, tread...

Just as Wu Xiangang breathed a sigh of relief, he heard footsteps!

The footsteps sounded like the sound of hard-soled shoes stepping on tiles. The frequency was extremely fast at first, then gradually slowed down, and finally stopped not far in front of Wu Xian.

Wu Xian hurriedly held his breath, and the sweat that had just subsided appeared again.

At this moment, the dark scene was so quiet that even a needle falling on the ground could be clearly heard. He even felt that his heartbeat was a little too loud.

This was the sound Wu Xian made when he fell to the ground from an upside-down position, which attracted something over. Judging from the decisive steps and the silence after stopping, this thing was definitely not a teammate or a native of the blessed land.

Wu Xian was nervously pinching a poker. At this moment, he was still in the dark and didn't want to have a conflict with the evil spirits at this time.

But if a fight is unavoidable, he won't run away from it.

Pfft!
Wu Xian suddenly heard a sound coming from somewhere else.

The owner of the footsteps was attracted by the sound, and after running for a while, he heard a loud sound of breaking the door.

"Please give me some more time!"

"We can pay the rent very quickly, in two days, no, one day..."

"Ah, ahh!"

After the sound of the door being broken, there was the man and woman's pleas, and heart-wrenching screams. The screams continued for a while and then stopped. The man and woman should not have survived.

After the screams stopped, Wu Xian remained quiet for a while. Only after he was sure that the thing would not be found suddenly did he put the poker away.

"The only good news is that the scream just now did not come from any of the six known teammates..."

"Also, when that man was killed just now, there was a sound of a door breaking, which means there is also a door in front of me."

"There is something patrolling outside the door. The unusual noise may attract that thing over..." Wu Xian decided to avoid the spotlight for the time being, so he turned around in the dark and carefully felt around with his hands.

He soon learned about the situation nearby.

Judging from the width and space occupied, this should be a foyer, but what's worse is that in addition to the main entrance, Wu Xian also touched five doors...

One of the doors should be a shoe cabinet, but I have no idea what the remaining four doors are.

Wu Xian was speechless.

"What kind of apartment is this? Why are there so many doors in the foyer?"

He had no choice but to open the doors one by one, opening each door a crack, sniffing, and then closing them immediately to prevent any sinister evil spirits from hiding behind the door and attacking him.

Two of the doors were relatively normal. One had a musty smell and should be the bathroom, and the other had a dusty and metallic smell and should be the utility room.

There was another door that you could smell a pungent smell of blood as soon as it was opened. When another door was opened, a faint light shone in, and you could see a wide space inside.

Wu Xian hesitated for a moment and then chose the door with light.

The fact that the door smelled of blood might be dangerous was secondary. What Wu Xian needed most at this moment was to figure out his own situation and check the information given on the certificate of ordination.

So he carefully pushed open the door with light, looked around and found nothing hidden, then quickly rushed in and closed the door immediately to prevent the light from leaking out and attracting anything outside the main door.

Finally arriving at the area with light, Wu Xian's tense heart relaxed a little.

He took another look at his surroundings.

This is a fairly large living room with an open kitchen, a large dark red sofa and coffee table, as well as a refrigerator, TV, air conditioner and other electrical appliances, as well as dried green plants in the corners. There are also three doors around the living room, perhaps leading to the bedroom.

The living room itself was unremarkable.

But the floor height is very high, more than four meters, and there are criss-cross criss-cross beams on the ceiling. A movable ladder is connected to the beams, and there are some narrow attics on both sides of the beams. People have to move between the attics through these criss-cross beams.

What attracted Wu Xian's attention most was the light source in the room.

It was a somewhat tall ebony wooden table with a statue of a deity on it. In front of the statue were a round copper incense burner, a black incense stick and two candles with gold edges.

This statue is a beautiful woman, with a breastplate on her upper body and a fairy-like robe underneath. Her long feather-like hair floats to her feet. One of her bare feet is stepping on a ferocious snake, and the other is stepping on a turtle with spikes on its back. She holds a sword in one hand and an open book in the other.

On the lotus throne beneath the tortoise and snake is written:
Dreams give the secrets of heaven to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady!

The table itself was very high, and the statue was stepping on a turtle and a snake, so from Wu Xian's perspective, it was as if he was being looked down upon by the statue, which made him feel that the statue had an awe-inspiring and inviolable mysterious aura.

Wu Xian looked delighted.

It turns out that the light source in the room is provided by the statue!
The blessed land of the Shuanglian family is different. It actually provides the opportunity to worship gods from the very beginning, and the statues of gods are the ones he has never seen before.

But despite being extremely curious about the effects of the statue, Wu Xian did not choose to worship the deity immediately.

The light in this room is provided by the statue of the deity. What if the candle goes out after you worship the deity? You just have to finish what you need to do before worshiping the deity again.

So he opened the certificate of ordination for his family in front of the statue and checked the information about this blessed land. The first page of the certificate was a poem.

Trouble arises from the heart, and devil comes from a single thought.

Hurt your body and seek peace, dream about ghosts and gods and be frightened!
There is danger hidden in the fog outside the building and evil spirits lurking inside the house.

When awake, one's life is in danger; when asleep for too long, one will never see the light of day!
