Gu Hai followed behind Du Heng and Forsythia, because he felt that the lotus jade pendant on their sword spikes was very cute, so even his eyes kept swaying with them.

The destination of the two was indeed the small courtyard that Gu Haifang had just arrived, Du Heng stopped in front of the courtyard gate, and then gave Forsythia a look, who immediately nodded tacitly and took out several talismans from his bag.

The stall owners and guests in the alley looked at the three people not far away with some curiosity, one of them was carrying a bag of tight pillars, and the other two were carrying two swords on their backs, and they began to cast a spell in front of an uninhabited courtyard.

Forsythia set up a shielding enchantment on the periphery of the courtyard at the same time Du Heng was not idle, he took out several runes of different colors, but drew the same spell on it, Gu Hai stood aside and secretly glanced at it, the stroke seemed to be the spell of entry.

The girl with a small lotus flower painted between her eyebrows neatly pulled out the saber behind her back, and before the people in the alley could see the movements of her hands, the three people in front of the courtyard had disappeared without a trace.

Forsythia put away the sword and returned to Du Heng, she took the talisman seal handed to her by the other party, and walked to the corner of the wall. "When the blade of the sword touched the courtyard wall, there were extremely obvious cultivation fluctuations on both sides, but it was only a short time, and when the talisman seal failed, the waves that rose up disappeared again.

Du Heng pushed open the courtyard door with a little headache and walked in, sure enough, it was still a small building that had been vacant for a long time, and he was obviously a little puzzled: "No, this is obviously the best rune paper." He said and walked around the courtyard a few times, but in the end there was no difference from before the operation: "Could it be that this is really just an empty house......

"Brother, why don't we go back and report to the Immortal Monarch first? Anyway, we are not in a hurry at this time, and then we will find it slowly. Forsythia saw Du Heng's sad look, so he opened his mouth to prompt. After all, Xianjun didn't set a time limit for them in the first place, and only asked the two of them to try their best to find it, and now that there is no progress, it is better to go back to the Yaochi Realm for the festival first.

Seeing that Du Heng was obviously a little hesitant, Gu Hai touched a few pieces of rune paper that he had hidden in his pocket in the morning, and handed them to the other party after some entanglement: "Senior brother, this is given to me by Senior Sister Jiang, do you want to try again?"

Those talisman papers were given to Gu Hai and Su Zi by Jiang Xingque on the edge of the swamp lake before, but there has been no occasion for Gu Hai to take them out and use them during these times, so they have been kept well.

The older boy took the rune paper with some surprise, thanked him softly, and then drew the spell again.

Different from before, the talisman almost flew towards the courtyard gate at the moment when the spell ended, and the piece of paper hit the wood with a crisp sound, Du Heng hurriedly recited the incantation when he saw the situation, and the scenery in the courtyard changed a little more every time, and when he blurted out the last word, the originally dilapidated courtyard had become a well-tended garden.

"It's really worthy of the Kunlun Jiang clan. Even if it came from the Yao Chi realm, Forsythia still sighed from the bottom of her heart. Gu Hai also knew that the people of the Yaochi Realm had always been arrogant, and they never easily praised people outside the country, among them, under the Immortal Monarch's seat, the attendants who grew up on the Yaotai since they were children were even more so. At this time, looking at the expressions of Du Heng and Forsythia, I am afraid that Jiang Xingque's strength is indeed enough to compare with the immortals on Yaotai.

The three of them walked around the courtyard and saw that there was nothing unusual, so they went back to the front of the house and knocked on the door. Seeing that no one had answered the door for a long time, and there was no sound in the room, Du Heng tentatively put his hand on the doorknob, and there was a click with a slight turn, and then the small main door opened.

"Excuse me, anyone?" Du Heng and Forsythia politely shouted to all parts of the house, but there was no response, and the three of them thought about it for a while, and finally decided to act together. Seeing that the senior brother and senior sister both vigilantly pulled out their swords, Gu Hai had no choice but to take a long time to pull his sword out of the circle of napkins and single-sided tape.

There was an indescribable smell of medicine wafting in the clean and bright room, although Gu Hai couldn't smell what it was, but looking at the expressions of Du Heng and Forsythia, it was probably related to the incense of rejuvenation. The three of them searched the house several times but found no one, so they retreated to the courtyard again.

Forsythia took out a palm-sized lotus flower from her pouch, which contained a round pearl, and she slowly poured her cultivation into it, and the pearl gradually emitted light. It fluctuated between the petals, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, Gu Hai looked curiously at it as if it was probing, occasionally turning direction, and sometimes stopping suddenly.

Finally, after a strong burst of light, the pearl suddenly dimmed, and then fell back into the center of the lotus. Du Heng and Forsythia frowned at the same time, although Gu Hai didn't understand what the pearl was indicating, but he was not bad at observing his words, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Senior brother and sister, is there something wrong?"

"This is not where the setters are, but a formation within a formation. Du Heng said with a more dissatisfied expression, he shook his sleeves as if he had nowhere to vent, and saw that Gu Hai was still at a loss, so he patiently continued to explain: "The dilapidated courtyard when we came in was the first layer of formation, in order to show ordinary people. And now this is the second layer of the array, in order to show us people, if we just think that this place is uninhabited, then it is just the other party's way. ”

After such a simple explanation, Gu Hai suddenly realized, and he replied innocently: "I still have the rune paper given by Senior Sister Jiang here, do you still want it, Senior Brother? Let's hurry up and take a look at the next layer, in case we see the person who set up the formation." ”

Hearing this, Du Heng just shook his head, he stabbed the sword in his hand into the lawn, only to see that the cultivation that was injected into the sword scattered like flowing water, and even Forsythia showed a surprised expression: "This array can diverge the cultivation, if the owner of the courtyard is really the Xiao family, then he should have been helped by the Kunlun Jiang clan back then." With just the three of us, I'm afraid there is no possibility of entering the next layer at all. ”

Gu Hai was stunned, took out a piece of rune paper left by Jiang Xingque from his pocket, and then put it on the ground, sure enough, it was not like Du Heng who could not concentrate on cultivation. It's just that in the end, it was made by the Jiang family, and although Gu Hai's cultivation did not scatter and die, it was also weakened a lot by the large array, so he couldn't completely control the rune paper to cast spells.

Suddenly there was a shouting from outside the otherwise silent courtyard, and when they came back to their senses, the three of them were back in the alley, still in front of them the broken wooden door, as if they had never entered.

Forsythia lowered her head in frustration and pouted, she pulled Du Heng's sleeve, and said a little unhappily: "Brother, I want to go back." After hearing this, Du Heng gently shook Forsythia's hand back, and then said to Gu Hai in a somewhat official way: "Thank you for your help today, don't leave it at that." ”

The two walked all the way out of the alley under the curious eyes of passers-by, Forsythia didn't care much, she seemed to suddenly remember that she hadn't said goodbye to Gu Hai yet, so she took Du Heng's hand and walked forward, while turning half of her body and waving her hand at Gu Hai.
