The temptation behind gentleness
Chapter 1144: The Secret Hidden Deep in the Mountains
Su Fan, while taking Bai Jiajia out of the mountain woods, smiled wryly and said:
"Are the Bai family's ancestors not welcoming me, an outsider?"
Before Bai Jiajia could speak, Bai Zongze, who was in a bad mood, said:
"It's not that reason. It's purely bad luck. The weather is unpredictable this season!"
Although they had wasted the trip twice in two days.
Su Fan was becoming increasingly curious about the matters concerning the Bai family's ancestral land.
By the third evening, after dealing with the hospital and company matters, he once again followed Bai Zongze and Bai Jiajia into the mountains.
Su Fan and Bai Zongze, full of energy.
The two Martial Arts Grandmasters moved through the mountains as if on flat ground.
Miss Bai Jiajia, however, was exhausted, even though carried by Su Fan on the journey, she was still extremely speechless.
She even began to suspect that the Bai family ancestor was senile, leading to hallucinations or similar symptoms.
However, that day, the weather was good, and no unexpected situations arose.
But the fog in the mountains was still very dense.
If it weren't for the two Martial Arts Grandmasters beside her, Bai Jiajia wouldn't dare stay in this place.
Soon, the moon appeared in the sky.
At this moment, Bai Zongze pointed to the moon in the Moon Pond and said: "When the moon moves to the center of the Moon Pond, you'll understand."
Su Fan and Bai Jiajia heard this and began to wait patiently.
But the moon's movement route in the water didn't seem to be a straight line.
If this continued, the moon might not appear where Bai Zongze said.
Yet after a while, something surprising happened to Su Fan and Bai Jiajia.
The moon's reflection in the water did appear in the center of the Moon Pond.
Following this, Bai Zongze followed a corner of the moon's reflection and looked over, while raising his hand to show Su Fan and Bai Jiajia.
"See the path?"
Su Fan glanced over, wanting to say he didn't see any path.
He thought a path would magically appear out of nowhere.
But what he saw now was still just fog.
Only now the fog seemed even denser.
Bai Jiajia was more straightforward, saying directly: "Ancestor, where is the path?"
Bai Zongze said: "Come to my direction and look."
Su Fan and Bai Jiajia, hearing this, went to his direction.
In this direction, they still couldn't see any path.
They could only see that some parts of the fog seemed slightly lighter.
Su Fan asked uncertainly: "Is the slightly lighter area of fog the path?"
Bai Zongze nodded: "Yes, that's how it's recorded in the Bai Ancestors' books."
"You and Jiajia, walk three hundred and sixty-five steps along this path, and you will truly enter the Bai family's ancestral land."
Even though Su Fan didn't quite believe Bai Zongze's words, he still curiously asked: "And how do we get out?"
Bai Zongze said without hesitation: "Look at the moon's position in the sky and return the way you came."
"If you can't see the moon, wait a day before coming out."
After saying this, he handed a backpack to Su Fan: "Inside is water and food. You are both Martial Artists, so staying inside for a day is fine."
Even though Su Fan still didn't think anything strange would happen.
Seeing Bai Zongze so solemn and serious, he still accepted the backpack.
Bai Jiajia then said: "I'll carry the backpack, in case of any trouble, you'll need to fight."
Su Fan thought this made sense, then handed the backpack to Bai Jiajia.
This whole thing seemed rather like nonsense from the beginning. He just hoped Bai Zongze wasn't bored and messing with them.
"Clang!"
A sword cry echoed through the valley, as Su Fan's three-foot cyan blade unsheathed.
Since Bai Zongze mentioned there was danger, it was better to treat this seriously.
