Those white rats, and the other immortals, almost all gathered and greedily sucked on these smoke breaths.
The fog is not coming from here, this is the source of the fragrance.
"Medicinal herbs, elixir fragrance, this is odd... This is an exhaust vent, it should be connected to the alchemist's elixir refining or the room where elixirs are stored. But after all these years, it shouldn't be emitting this smoke scent. It's as if someone is still refining elixirs."
"It should be a batch of refined elixirs placed at the vent. The vent emits the vital energy, which blends with the mountain mist..." Wu Jinluan was carefully analyzing.
Gentlemen turn their heads left and right, discerning the geomancy here.
The spirit mediums, without exception, all wait quietly, for this is not their forte.
"How simple, I'll go in and see, and then I'll know the answer."
Old Gong spoke, his head directly plunged into the tall, one-man-high, cylindrical chimney.
It was only a few seconds before a cry of pain could be heard.
Lao Gong's head appeared outside, and there were white vapor and charred patches all over his head.
After all, it was a ghost without skin and flesh. Soon, Lao Gong recovered.
He kept cursing with filthy language.
I didn't find it surprising at all.
In fact, in the past, after entering many places, Lao Gong had never done this before.
It was the last time outside the White Wolf Cave, at Jiuding Mountain, when he transformed and dispersed the fierce jail, encompassing the entire mountain, giving him a taste of sweetness.
However, the fact is that most of the fengshui sites are filled with arrays of symbols. The same is true for the city of Guangxiang and the mountain of Juqu Mountain, and this place is even more so.
Only the White Wolf Cave on Jiuding Mountain, which are hidden by immortals and not influenced by fengshui, is normal for someone with abilities who knows how to protect against ghosts.
In the midst of my contemplation, I also felt something was off, an uncomfortable sensation.
For a moment, I couldn't pinpoint exactly where the problem was.
The people in the scene, without exception, did not notice the problem.
After about fifteen minutes, the gentlemen still hadn't figured anything out; they were just walking around with a compass.
"Why not dig in from here? Immortals usually do that. Hmm, if we dig in, we should reach a key position. Elixir refining must have stopped long ago; after all these years, the alchemists here must have turned into ethereal corpses." Liu Taixuan stroked his chin and said, "Perhaps that place is one of the acupoints? The vital energy flows out through here?"
"Immortals are not afraid of array laws, especially the gray immortals. When they are looking for treasure, they usually go straight ahead without hesitation." Liu Taixuan spoke with great conviction and a hint of self-assurance.
"Is this energy beneficial to the immortals?" I suddenly asked.
"That's natural." Liu Taiyan smiled and said, "I rarely see so many immortals, excited like this. It's not just the fragrance; it contains something that can benefit oneself."
"How are the immortals in the wild formed? At first, they are probably mountain spirits and wild monsters, right?"
As I finished speaking, Liu Taixuan's expression slightly changed, becoming a bit more serious.
"Luo Daozhang, there are no mountain spirits or immortals in Iron Peak Mountain. Immortals are not of this world. They are an opportunity, they are considered local immortals." Liu Taiyan spoke in a low voice.
"I have no other intention." I shook my head while speaking.
Liu Taixuan nodded and then said, "Immortals absorb the essence of the sun and moon, or through fortunate coincidence, they obtain some celestial treasures, such as the things mixed with this smoke."
"That's why, there are no immortals around here. The inner five elements are the immortals of Iron Peak Mountain, and the outer five elements should be a mixture of things. The White-eyed Wolf is one of them." I pondered and then said, "There must be monsters in high mountains, and celestial beings in steep mountains. This place has both favorable conditions and this kind of fragrance that makes immortals obsessed. There are also benefits mixed in, but why hasn't one appeared?"
My words made Liu Taixuan unable to answer for a moment.
He furrowed his brow, as if deep in contemplation and pondering the reasons.
"Before he could open his mouth, I continued, 'Here, we cannot dig. There are other issues. All the immortals must retreat and stop breathing in these vapors. We were quiet on our way here, and we didn't even see any animals. There are approximately 20-30 meters around here without trees, and the trees are far away. The ground is also bare... something is very wrong.'"
"Luo Daozhang, I think it's best to listen to what Mr. Wu and the others have said. You, as a Taoist, are not much different from us. We don't know, so we keep quiet; you don't know either, and you're just guessing. Specialized matters should be handled by specialists. What do you think?" Liu Taixuan spoke in a low voice.
"Should we let Mr. Wu decide whether to dig or not? Or should we let Lao Gong decide?"
Liu Taixuan seems to be dissatisfied.
He has no problem with my Daoist techniques, but he disagrees with me about the fact that we should not get close to this place.
In just a few words, Lao Gong returned to my shoulder.
"Whatever the deputy manager says, I only proposed my own thoughts on how to handle Iron Peak Mountain. I indeed have no right to interfere." I slightly bow and make a gesture without any stern attitude.
Liu Taixuan's face became more pleasant.
Lao Gong's eyes moved quickly, as if he were thinking.
Later, he said, "Besides that damned array, I still feel quite comfortable going in."
"Haha, that's settled! Disciples, listen to the command! Please have the Xian of the Huige family dig a hole!" Liu Taixuan shouted excitedly.
Wu Jinlan's voice was unusually loud: "Wait!"
He hurriedly turned around and all the gentlemen followed us back.
Then, the few people approached the three chimneys, looked at the compass again, and their expressions changed even more noticeably.
"This place absolutely cannot be dug up!" Wu Jinlan said firmly, "If we dig it up, it might lead to a major disaster!"
Lao Gong squinted his eyes, his lips curved up into a sinister smile.
"Mr. Wu, Lao Gong said it's okay to dig, did you all misunderstand something? That's why there's a conflict of opinions?" Liu Taixuan said gravely.
This shows that Liu Taiyan has some obsessiveness and is eager to achieve his goals, not hesitant to take some unethical measures.
Therefore, even though Wu Jinluan spoke up, he still believed Lao Gong was right because Lao Gong stood on the line that met his needs.
"Yes, yes, when opinions differ, we should dig and see. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If I can break through the array inside, I can get in there, and then everything inside will be clear at a glance." Lao Gong's words were directly contradicting Wu Jinluan?
"My brow furrowed, and I felt some discomfort right away."
I soon understood the reason.
Lao Gong... is laughing.
Ghostly laughter cannot be controlled. It's better to hear ghostly cries rather than see ghostly laughter, or it will be fatal!
Lao Gong, is it just that you want to kill a few people from Iron Peak Mountain?
He is also not pleased with Liu Taixuan's behavior?
I felt a slight chill in my heart, not just because of Lao Gong's action, but also because, unconsciously, Liu Taixuan did not seem to think there was anything wrong.
They may die, all of them think Lao Gong is right.
It's like being sold out and still helping to count the money.
Offending a Yinyang Master means death, which is death for certain.
