After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

Murong Jin also jumped down, like a nimble flying bird, and landed lightly beside Gu Qingze.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, "Oh, you trust me so much, and you jump when I tell you to? Aren't you afraid of being smashed into a meat pie, or encountering some danger?"

After saying that, he reached out and patted Gu Qingze's shoulder, the action was very casual.

It's true that a dog can't spit out ivory... Gu Qingze complained silently in his heart.

In fact, he had already noticed Murong Jin's little action just now. If he didn't intend to jump down, Murong Jin would push him down without hesitation.

Instead of being pushed down by him without any preparation, at least you can get down by yourself. There is also a process of psychological preparation, so you won't be caught too unprepared.

Although he kept complaining in his heart, he still maintained a polite smile on the surface and nodded slightly in response to the other person's words.

"Senior Murong, what are you talking about? Of course I believe you." Gu Qingze looked at Murong Jin firmly, his tone serious and sincere.

Murong Jin was slightly stunned after hearing his words, and then Murong Jin started laughing. No one knew what he was laughing at, which made Gu Qingze feel confused.

After a while, Murong Jin stopped laughing and his expression returned to his usual calmness. "Let's go, let's go forward and see."

After saying that, he took a step forward. Seeing this, Gu Qingze hurriedly followed closely behind him, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

The two walked along a narrow path, surrounded by some strange-shaped rocks.

After they walked for a while, they saw a very old building.

Why is it said to be ancient?

Because the stone walls of the building have been eroded by time and are mottled, with moss and vines entwined on them like green ribbons, and most of the tiles on the roof are broken or missing, and the sunlight shines through these gaps, casting mottled light and shadows.

The door was closed, and the hinges were rusted from years of disrepair, as if they would fall apart into dust if pushed lightly. In front of the door, the two stone lion statues had also been severely weathered.

They walked slowly towards the door. Murong Jin stretched out his hand and pushed gently. The seemingly fragile door slowly opened, making a dull and long sound.

Behind the door was a dim passage with faint candles burning on the walls on both sides. The flickering flames barely illuminated the road ahead.

There was an indescribable smell of dampness and staleness in the air that made people hold their breath involuntarily.

Gu Qingze couldn't help but ask, "Where is this place?"

Murong Jin continued walking forward while answering, "You don't need to know, just follow me."

Gu Qingze responded: "...Got it."

After going deeper into the passage, Gu Qingze discovered that the corridor was not straight, but winding, like a maze-like path.

Each step was accompanied by a slight echo from the stone slabs underfoot, which intertwined with the swaying shadows of the torches on the walls to create an eerie atmosphere.

The faint fire flickered in the darkness, as if it could go out at any time, making people feel uneasy.

After walking for a distance, they came to a spacious hall. In the center of the hall stood a huge altar, which was engraved with intricate and difficult to decipher runes.

Around the altar, there are several statues of various shapes, some holding magical instruments, some closing their eyes in deep thought. Each statue is lifelike. Gu Qingze looked around, his heart filled with curiosity and awe.

Murong Jin stopped, turned around, looked at Gu Qingze, and said seriously, "Get ready."

Then, he walked to the altar and began to chant something. As the spell sounded, the runes on the altar began to flicker with faint light, as if they were activated.

When the spell was finished, a strong energy wave suddenly surged in the center of the altar, surrounding Gu Qingze. He felt a flash before his eyes and then lost consciousness.
