Mortals ask the immortals

After walking out of the original black passage, Lin Ruoming and the other two looked relieved, as if they had survived a catastrophe.

Duan Qing noticed that the reflections under the feet of the young men and women of the human race were mostly white, while the reflection under Lin Ruoming's feet was very similar to that of the middle-aged fat demon cultivator, half black and half white.

While Duan Qing was observing Lin Ruoming and the other two, Lin Ruoming was also observing Duan Qing and the others.

When he noticed the pure white reflection under the feet of the blue-skirted woman, a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Ruoming's eyes, and then his eyes lingered on Duan Qing's reflection for a while.

"Hey, where is Fellow Daoist Qi?" Lin Ruoming asked casually when he didn't see Qi Chang.

"Alas, Fellow Daoist Qi was unlucky and didn't make it to the end." The middle-aged fat demon cultivator sighed deeply.

Lin Ruoming shook his head regretfully, and then a knowing smile appeared on his face.

"It's rare that you fellow Daoists are waiting for the three of us here."

"Fellow Daoist Lin, what are you talking about? We are here together, so we should explore together."

...

The two of them exchanged polite words and then continued to move forward.

Not long after, the group walked through the hundreds of feet long forest road and came to an open space in the bamboo sea.

In the center of the open space, there grew a giant purple bamboo that was about a hundred feet wide and at least a thousand feet high. Around the purple bamboo, there was a circle of black and white bamboos, like a fence, crisscrossing and surrounding the giant purple bamboo almost impenetrable.

Facing the forest road, there was a bamboo gate. The upper half of the gate was white and the lower half was black. At the intersection of black and white in the middle, there was a black and white yin and yang fish pattern.

Everyone walked to the black and white gate and stared at it. Then Lin Ruoming was the first to step forward, put his hands on the gate, and tried to push it.

Under Lin Ruoming's push, the black and white gate did not move at all, but the reflection under his feet gradually faded away.

At the same time, the Yin-Yang fish pattern on the black and white gate turned and emitted a faint light.

Seeing this, Lin Ruoming quickly withdrew his hand and stepped back a few steps, wondering: "Hey, why is Lin's reflection gone?"

"I see the reflection under my feet seems to be absorbed by the gate!" The middle-aged fat demon cultivator stepped forward and glanced back and forth between Lin Ruoming and the gate.

"Yes, we saw it too." The young man of the human race also echoed.

Lin Ruoming stared at the gate and said thoughtfully: "Could it be that our reflection is the key to opening this gate?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out!"

The middle-aged fat demon cultivator nodded in agreement, and said, he walked directly to the gate and pressed his hand on it.

As the two came into contact, the reflection under the middle-aged fat demon cultivator's feet also faded and disappeared like Lin Ruoming's reflection just now, as if it was absorbed by the gate.

At the same time, the Yin-Yang fish pattern on the gate turned again, and the surface glowed even more.

Seeing this, the young man and woman of the human race looked at each other, and obviously believed Lin Ruoming's statement. They walked forward one after another, and let the reflections under their feet be absorbed by the black and white gate.

After absorbing the reflections of the two, the Yin-Yang fish pattern on the black and white gate hardly moved, only the light on the surface was slightly brighter, and other than that, there was no other abnormality in the gate.

At this time, Lin Ruoming and the other four cast their eyes on Duan Qing and the blue-skirted woman who still had reflections under their feet.

Under the gaze of everyone, the blue-skirted woman shrugged, walked to the front of the gate casually, stretched out her slender index finger, and gently tapped the Yin-Yang fish in the center of the gate.

The next moment, the Yin-Yang fish suddenly glowed with white light, causing everyone to subconsciously reach out to cover it.

After a while, the dazzling white light converged, and the blue-skirted woman walked away from the front of the gate.

Everyone looked at the gate and found that the light emitted by the Yin-Yang fish on it was much brighter than before, but there was still no sign of the gate opening.

Seeing this, Lin Ruoming and the middle-aged fat demon cultivator subconsciously looked at each other, their eyes were a little uneasy, and then they all looked at Duan Qing.

Duan Qing said nothing, walked to the black and white gate in silence, and stretched out his hand to press on the Yin-Yang fish pattern.

The moment he touched the Yin-Yang fish pattern, Duan Qing felt a chill in his palm, and then this chill instantly swept over his body, making people feel indescribably comfortable.

However, this chill came and went quickly. After the chill disappeared, Duan Qing glanced at his feet and found that the reflection had disappeared.

As the reflection disappeared, Duan Qing felt that the negative emotions accumulated before were instantly swept away, and his mood was extremely relaxed and comfortable.

Noticing that after the gate absorbed his reflection, only the light of the Yin-Yang fish became brighter, but it still did not open. Duan Qing showed disappointment on the surface, but there was a hint of enlightenment in the depths of his eyes.

This scene made Lin Ruoming and others very disappointed.

"How could this be? Is opening this door unrelated to the reflection?" The human man couldn't help but question.

Lin Ruoming said absentmindedly with a gloomy face: "Maybe!"

The middle-aged fat demon cultivator looked a little bored and paced back and forth.

"Brother, there are just some ordinary bamboos here. Why don't we try to destroy them!" The young human woman suddenly suggested.

The young human man's eyes lit up, and without saying a word, he summoned his flying sword and shot it towards the black and white bamboo on the left side of the gate.

Before his flying sword touched the black and white bamboo, it was blocked by an invisible barrier. With a bang, the flying sword was directly bounced back.

The young human man was unwilling to give up and wanted to continue attacking.

Seeing this, Lin Ruoming hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Daoyou, don't make these fearless attempts. Since the Xuansu demon king has arranged the cave like this, how could he leave loopholes for people to exploit!"

"Our reflections can't open the door. Maybe there are not enough reflections."

The young human man put away his flying sword helplessly, looking depressed.

"What should we do now?" The young human woman looked lost.

Lin Ruoming thought for a while and said, "Let's leave this place first. When we are fully prepared, we will come back to explore!"

The young men and women of the human race didn't say anything after hearing this. Obviously, they were unwilling to leave.

Think about it, a cave left by a demon king, what a chance it is. Seeing the great opportunity right in front of us, but not knowing how to enter it, no one would be willing to do it.

At this time, Duan Qing, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

"Daoyou Lin, it seems that you know a lot about this place?"

After hearing what Duan Qing said, everyone cast their eyes on Lin Ruoming.

Lin Ruoming smiled awkwardly: "Haha, why do you say that, fellow Daoist?"

Duan Qing pointed at the door in front of him.

"This door cannot be opened. Fellow Daoist did not think of trying other methods, but directly proposed to leave. It seems... a bit hasty, isn't it?"

"Fellow Daoist, are you so sure that there is only this door in front of you. Maybe there are other entrances in places we can't see, such as the back of the purple bamboo!"
