Chapter 34: Lower your guard and get along well

"Bah! These predecessors are really something. They built these one-way altars. Isn't this just playing tricks on us?" Pangbo complained indignantly.

"It's too unlucky to go there and never come back!"

Hearing this, Hua Tiandu laughed and scolded: "You big guy, your courage is as strong as your body, how dare you insult the saints!"

Pang Bo did not react when he heard this, but Ye Fan was shocked and asked hesitantly: "Master, could it be that those predecessors..."

"That's right." Hua Tiandu put on an appearance of watching a good show, "People like Laozi, Sakyamuni, and Huangdi are all still alive."

Hearing this, many people looked at Pangbo in surprise.

The burly man's facial expression gradually became more interesting.

"Ancestor, I'm sorry!"

"I did not mean it!"

Pangbo laughed dryly, clasped his hands together, and prayed continuously, apparently confessing his sins.

"Okay, stop bowing. Just be careful with your words next time." Hua Tiandu stopped him with a smile.

After this farce, everyone became familiar with each other and there were fewer barriers between them, which was exactly what Hua Tiandu wanted.

"Master, I'm not being nosy, but we are extremely unlucky to have accidentally come here. Why are you here alone in this remote place?" Pangbo, who was very outgoing, seemed curious, but was actually testing him.

Don't be fooled by his big and strong appearance, he is actually very smart.

"Of course, I want to leave the earth and go to the world of cultivation." Hua Tiandu continued to give half-true and half-false answers.

"Leaving the earth for spiritual practice?" Many people are thinking about the meaning of this sentence in their hearts.

"Master, can't we practice cultivation on Earth? Why do you want to go far away?"

Ye Fan likes to read some ancient books. He is very yearning for the ancient times described in the books, so he is very interested in this topic.

"Earth." Hua Tiandu remembered a lot at once. "In the past, the Earth was a place for cultivation. However, in modern times, the spiritual energy dried up, and the avenue gradually became lofty. Now it is the Dharma Ending Age."

While talking about the current environment of the Earth, he paced to the edge of the altar and looked into the distance.

"If I don't leave, I may not live past a hundred years."

"In order to achieve immortality and become an immortal, one has no choice but to leave his hometown and head for the Big Dipper as recorded in the books of sages."

Under the influence of the invisible spirit, everyone felt a sense of sadness from his back.

After a period of silence, everyone recovered from their emotions.

"Master, you said you were going to Beidou to practice, so how do we get started now?" Ye Fan asked a crucial question.

"Of course, through the altar under our feet." Hua Tiandu replied.

Then, he showed his magic in front of everyone for the first time. His body shape changed rapidly, and in just a few breaths, he had explored the area of ​​several miles.

"This altar has supernatural powers. It can transform the blood of extraordinary creatures into energy and open the gate to the starry sky."

"To put it simply, we need to open the Starry Sky Gate through a blood sacrifice, and then we can leave."

Hua Tiandu's words echoed through the void, causing everyone who heard them to shrink their necks.

There is no way. The word "blood sacrifice" is too demonic and does not seem like a righteous method.

"Master, how do we find the blood of supernatural creatures?" Ye Fan asked.

"This... I don't know either." Hua Tiandu answered awkwardly.

He concealed some facts so as not to arouse suspicion from some people with ulterior motives.

"Look, there is light in the distance!"

“Maybe there are indigenous people there!”

Suddenly, several people near the edge of the altar saw a light in the distance and cheered.

"Master, are there indigenous people on Mars?" Ye Fan asked puzzledly.

"I'm here for the first time too, and I don't know the specific situation on this planet." Hua Tiandu replied.

"Master, why don't we go to that place together? What do you think?" A man came over and invited him expectantly. "This..." Hua Tian was a little hesitant.

"Master, what Wang Ziwen said is right. Why don't we go there and take a look at the situation? Maybe we can find a way to open the door to the starry sky?" Ye Fan also echoed.

"Well, let's go and take a look together."

After Hua Tiandu made the decision, several familiar classmates smiled at each other.

With the Taoist priest of mysterious origins traveling together, at least their safety is greatly guaranteed.

So, under the notification of Ye Fan and others, a large group of people slowly embarked on a new journey.

In the team, Hua Tiandu walked in the front to lead the way, and the others formed a long line and followed behind him.

As they left the altar, the group passed by a huge rock.

There were several learned people in the team, and they saw two ancient inscriptions on the boulder.

"This seems to be a bronze inscription."

"These two words are Yinghuo."

"It seems that the Taoist priest did not lie to us."

At this moment, everyone's guard against Hua Tiandu was lowered a lot.

After getting off the altar, everyone stepped onto the reddish-brown earth and were shocked by the desertified soil and exposed rocks.

"I've read some popular science about Mars, which says that the surface of Mars is very dry, with red soil and gravel everywhere."

"The reason is that the Martian soil contains a large amount of iron oxide. Due to long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays, the entire Martian land has turned red, like a water surface mixed with blood."

……

After all, these people have received college education and they all know something about Mars.

Now that I have seen this scene with my own eyes, I completely believe what Hua Tiandu said.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew from a distance, rolling up the sky full of sand and dust, and slowly blew towards the crowd.

"Stop for a moment and be careful to avoid the wind and sand." Hua Tiandu issued an order so that everyone could hear it clearly.

Accompanied by sporadic sounds, everyone found a nearby depression, hid in it, and crouched down.

One by one, they took off their coats and covered their heads to prevent themselves from inhaling the tiny particles of sand.

"Whoo~"

"Whoo~"

A few strong gusts of wind blew by, and then everything became completely quiet.

"Okay, the sandstorm has passed, let's continue on our way." Hua Tiandu continued to issue orders, notifying everyone to get up and set off.

"You know what, our Taoist priest is quite good at transmitting sound over a thousand miles." Pang Bo joked as he stood up.

"Be careful with your words. If you offend the Taoist priest, you will suffer the consequences." Ye Fan warned.

In everyone's perception, Hua Tiandu is a Taoist priest who has embarked on a spiritual journey.

But who knows his true background?
Maybe there is a magic spell that can monitor everyone's movements.

"Alas, now the giant bronze coffin, the real dragon, and the Taoist priests with real abilities have all appeared. I wonder if we can see real gods in the future?" Wang Ziwen sighed.

Being in such an environment and unable to return to Earth, they can only try to find some interesting topics to talk about and dispel their worries and troubles.

"Who knows?"

"I only know that there is only one way for us to survive, and that is to follow the Taoist priest and go to Beidou to take a look."

"Maybe, we can also embark on the path of cultivation." Ye Fan was still relatively rational.

"Yes, just like the Taoist priest said, in the future we can all become immortals, wouldn't that be free and easy?" Pang Bo was more optimistic than anyone else and started boasting.
