Chapter 43 Guests Arrive
Gu Qingyuan and his companion were walking on the street, followed by Lu Chi who was timid.

There were crowds of people on the streets, some hawking their wares, some drinking. It was a peaceful scene. There was no sign of fighting on the broken streets, as if all the strange scenes of last night were just a dream.

Lu Chi felt sympathetic. He avoided people and things. He must have felt traumatized.

Gu Qingyuan and the other two seemed contented and calm.

"Brother Gu, do you think we should go and investigate now or wait a little longer?" Sande asked.

"The remains of this Purple Mansion must be dangerous. I just want to ask Fellow Daoist Sande, are you seeking treasure or life?" Gu Qingyuan asked back.

Sande stopped smiling and said, "Of course, staying alive comes first. Sande, I have all the skills and treasures. If I live peacefully, I can expect a great future. It's better not to have this relic from the Purple Mansion."

"Well, fellow Taoist, you are experienced and you don't need to tell me the key points of searching for relics and exploring mysteries. You must not get into any unnecessary troubles on this trip and your main task is to get out of here." Gu Qingyuan said to Sande, but looked at Lu Chi.

Lu Chi shuddered all over and nodded repeatedly, promising not to run around or touch anything.

Gu Qingyuan raised his hand and pointed, taking back the restriction that imprisoned the magic power in Lu Chi's body. This man was still useful and would be needed for exploring the way later.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the crowd in front of me making a commotion and several figures appeared.

Gu Qingyuan and Sande looked at each other, and the three of them hid their bodies at the same time.

A better pathfinder is coming.

Sande took out a square handkerchief, which grew in the wind and turned into a gauze curtain, covering the heads of the three people.

"As long as this handkerchief does not release magic power and attract aura, the foundation building will be undetectable." Sande explained slowly.

Gu Qingyuan looked at the treasure bag in Sande's hand and said, "I think Brother Sande should not be called Sande, but Duobao."

Sande put the treasure bag into his arms and said, "When you go out, you naturally need to be fully prepared. Fortunately, I am proficient in refining equipment, so I have more preparations. It's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

----------

Chen Hu stood up, patted his clothes, and looked at his palm. There was a jade talisman lying on it, which was exactly the same style as Lu Chi's.

He didn't care about the mortals watching him, and ordered: "I, Chen Hu, didn't lie to you, this talisman must be a good treasure, isn't it in the Immortal Palace?"

"Brother Chen is honest. Thanks to you, we have this opportunity." Someone replied half a meter away from Chen Hu.

"Okay, Liu Cheng, stop flattering me. Chen Hu, let's make it clear in advance that what we get from this fairy palace will depend on your own means, and I'll give you 10% afterwards." The speaker was a middle-aged woman.

"That's absolutely right." A middle-aged man next to the woman echoed.

But the last old man didn't say anything.

"We have already agreed that we will invite you two evil couples, so I, Chen Hu, will not regret it." Chen Hu said, but he thought in his heart:
Humph, if I wasn't so weak, why would I cooperate with you evil spirits? But with these scapegoats around, the trip to the Immortal Palace will be smoother.

For a moment, the atmosphere was silent, even Liu Cheng avoided looking around, and no one knew what he was thinking.

On the other side, the three people who were hiding under the scarf and eavesdropping heard it clearly.

"Even a fool can see that they are not in harmony with each other, right?" Lu Chi suddenly said.

Sande turned around and said, "If there are no close friends, a randomly assembled team will be like this. Everyone has their own thoughts and conspiracies. Everyone relies on their own methods to obtain treasures and survive. After all, when a person dies, the treasures of the dead will belong to the living, right?"

"It seems that Chen Hu knows more. If we take action, we can leave one alive. We can't see the details of the others, but five of them who have established their foundation can also scout the way for us." Gu Qingyuan said, staring at the five people.

"They are not cultivators from our side. That man and woman should be the evil duo, a couple. They are good at joint attacks. Their name is not nice, but they have some skills. The other three have never seen them." Sande introduced.

"Just keep an eye on it for now!" Gu Qingyuan made the final decision.

The group of five people scattered to inquire for news. Gu Qingyuan and the other two followed Chen Hu, and saw Chen Hu go straight to the Sanhua Niangniang Temple.

He waited for a moment, and soon several other people gathered together.

"One is missing. The old man is gone." Lu Chi said. Gu Qingyuan did not reply, but stared at the four people.

"It seems that you all have a way and found the right place so quickly." Chen Hu said with a smile.

Liu Cheng laughed: "This mortal city has no magical power, only the Sanhua Niangniang Temple is famous, this time I have to rely on Brother Chen's methods." As he spoke, he glanced around.
"As for those who didn't come, maybe he has some ulterior motive, or he's as stupid as a pig, so why don't we take him with us?"

"It doesn't matter what. Come and impose the ban immediately. Don't waste time." The woman, Yinsha Sun Xiaoqing said. Her husband, Xiesha Li Yang, did not say anything.

Chen Hu thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's go treasure hunting together."

The group rushed into the main hall and forcibly drove them out despite the objections of the believers and pilgrims.

Chen Hu took out the jade talisman, jumped lightly, and landed in the hands of the statue of Three Flowers Goddess, which held a lotus in its hand. He disassembled the lotus base, which had a groove inside, and put the jade talisman in, fitting it perfectly. He then put the lotus back in place, jumped down, and waited for a moment, but there was no movement, so he had to take the jade talisman back.

"It must be the wrong time. Why don't I wait until nightfall and try again?" Chen Hu put the jade talisman in his arms.

Sun Xiaoqing withdrew her gaze from the jade talisman and snorted coldly, "Then wait here until nightfall and don't move around."

Chen Hu knew that she was giving him some advice, but he still needed these scapegoats, so he didn't care and laughed: "Of course, I am not the kind of person who eats alone."

Said sitting cross-legged.

"Brother Chen is so loyal!" Liu Cheng gave him a thumbs up and sat down as well.

Seeing the silence in the hall, the three people who were watching knew that it would be nightfall if they moved again. However, the scene was not the same at nightfall.

"Brother Gu, at night, those alien species..." Lu Chi hesitated.

"The alien species won't enter this place, but if the ban is broken, something unexpected will happen. Adjust your state and wait for the opportunity!" Gu Qingyuan said to Sande again, "Can this handkerchief last until nightfall?"

Sande nodded: "Not to mention a few hours, even a few days is enough."

Gu Qingyuan nodded, thoughtfully.

These three virtues are not as simple as they seem on the surface, and their essence has not yet been uncovered!
Sande looked at Gu Qingyuan, then at Lu Chi, and stopped talking.

Soon, the warm sun faded and the bloody sun came.

Chen Hu looked at the alien species surrounding the temple, sweat slightly on his forehead. He had never expected this to happen.

The other three also felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. Liu Cheng, who had been smiling all the time, now looked serious, and the two evil spirits also had treasures in their hands.

Fortunately, they soon discovered that the alien species could not enter the temple, and the atmosphere became lighter.

"Hurry, quickly open the ban, what the hell are those things outside?" Sun Xiaoqing urged hurriedly, as if she didn't recognize the alien species.

Chen Hu was not in the mood to care about her tone, so he climbed up the statue again and put in the jade talisman.

Sure enough, there was a rumbling sound when it was released.

I saw the hand holding the lotus slowly rising, and the petals separated, revealing the jade talisman in the center. The jade talisman emitted white gas that connected the jade petals.

As if some mechanism was activated, a ball of white gas formed a large door with the jade talisman as its center. The jade talisman was like a jade lock, and as the white gas flowed, a thin crack slowly appeared in the door.

With a click, Chen Hu looked back, sweating profusely and his eyes were about to burst.

I saw an alien species attracted by the strange noise and slowly crawling into the hall.

The main hall is no longer a forbidden area for alien species!
As the alien species entered, more alien species came rushing in.

"run!!!!"
