After rebirth, she killed her best friend and took over the scumbag's kingdom

"Has someone set up a formation here? It seems to be the same as what we encountered before. No matter how we try, we always seem to be wandering in the same place. If it weren't for the girl's reminder last time, we would have been in danger." He was filled with panic in his heart and whispered his doubts.

Feng Qiongzhu was like a cunning little fox, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, and her tone was nonchalant: "It's really interesting, I haven't met such an opponent for a long time."

A breeze blew gently through the woods. Feng Qiongzhu twitched her nose slightly, and her expression instantly became solemn.

She was keenly aware that the air here seemed different from usual.

She immediately turned to Yun Kaizhou and said, "Have everyone cover their mouths and noses with cloths. There is poisonous fog in this forest. If you inhale too much, you will gradually lose consciousness."

Upon hearing this, Yun Kaizhou immediately followed Feng Qiongzhu's instructions, took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve, and covered his mouth and nose.

At the same time, he also ordered An Qing to inform others to do the same.

Feng Qiongzhu pointed to the thickest purple bamboo deep in the bamboo forest and said, "Do you see the biggest bamboo? That is the core of the formation. Next, you must follow my steps and pass through the gaps between the bamboos. Don't make the wrong move."

"Yes! Miss..." The guards behind her responded, lined up in a row, and followed Feng Qiongzhu's steps.

However, after an incense stick of time had passed, some guards began to feel dizzy.

Feng Qiongzhu heard the movement behind and encouraged loudly: "Everyone hold on, we will be there soon! If you feel unwell, support each other and don't fall behind!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the view in front of them suddenly became clear, and a flat open space appeared in front of them.

The view became wider and the fog around gradually dissipated.

Feng Qiongzhu carefully observed the scene ahead and said softly, "We should have successfully walked out of the formation."

Yun Kaizhou finally felt relieved when he heard her words.

He approached Feng Qiongzhu and whispered in her ear: "This place is really weird. First it was a bamboo maze, then it was filled with poisonous fog. Now look over there, after the fog dissipated, it seems that a Taoist temple appeared."

Feng Qiongzhu walked forward curiously and said, "Well, it looks like it is indeed a Taoist temple. Such a mysterious layout must have some secrets. We'd better be careful."

An Qing followed closely behind, holding the still-frightened Ren Dong.

This place was so weird that he almost thought he was going to die here.

Ren Dong shook off An Qing's hand with all her strength, her face full of disdain: "Enough, stop pulling me. I never thought that you, the Supervisor of the Song Hall, would be afraid of a formation."

An Qing looked aggrieved and retorted: "What do you know? Aren't you afraid? There are corpses everywhere in there, and you are not much better off. Look, my arm is swollen from your pinching."

Feng Qiongzhu was just about to step forward when suddenly, the tightly closed door of the Taoist temple creaked open by itself, shocking her.

She hesitated a little, stopped and looked at the Taoist temple from a distance.

The high mountains, dense forests and lingering clouds and mist add a touch of mystery to this Taoist temple.

The location of the Taoist temple is extremely secluded, hidden halfway up the mountain. Not to mention any incense or worship, it is even a bit desolate, and the walls are a bit mottled.

As the sky gradually darkened, Feng Qiongzhu had no choice but to walk into the gate of the Taoist temple.

She walked around the temple carefully and found that the color of the murals on the wall had faded a little. In the middle of the temple were three solemn and majestic statues.

Feng Qiongzhu walked to a statue of the Heavenly Lord with a cold expression and knelt down to worship him devoutly.

Yun Kaizhou behind him was startled, and he also bowed to the Tianzun statue, and whispered to Feng Qiongzhu: "Why don't we see anyone? It's freezing here, and it's getting dark. We may have to rest in the Taoist temple for one night."

Feng Qiongzhu was exhausted. She walked around the statue several times, squinting her eyes, with thoughts racing in her mind.

She walked closer to the statue and knocked a few times, only to find that it was empty. She was startled and seemed to have discovered some secret.

She decided to wait and see what happened. Since they had already come in, the people hiding inside would definitely become impatient.

It’s better to just make the best of it and spend the night in peace.

"Linde, let's rest here tonight. It's just one night. I don't think the gods will have any objection." Feng Qiongzhu said softly.

At this time, An Qing also came over and said to Yun Kaizhou, "Prince, you, Miss Feng, and Ren Dong, rest in this Taoist temple tonight. I will arrange for some guards to guard outside the temple, and the rest to stay inside."

Night falls.

Yun Kaizhou's men were divided into two groups, one group stayed inside the Taoist temple, and the other group was stationed outside the temple.

Ren Dong led the others to clear a clean area, spread out the bedding they brought with them, and called Feng Qiongzhu over: "Girl, come here quickly, I have already arranged it."

In the Taoist temple late at night, the temperature suddenly dropped sharply. Feng Qiongzhu curled up and felt a chill coming over her.

Yun Kaizhou sensed something was wrong with her and quickly walked over and hugged her.

"Qiongzhu, do you feel cold? Will it feel better if I hug you?"

Honeysuckle also woke up and saw the prince hugging the girl. She quickly added some firewood to the fire and said, "Prince, is the temperature a little abnormal? Is it so cold in the mountains at night? Why don't you get up and drink some hot wine to warm yourself up?"

Yun Kaizhou thought this was a good idea. "The temperature is indeed a little low. It's summer now. Bring us a jar of wine. Let's drink a few sips to warm ourselves up."

Rendong immediately opened the jar of wine and handed it to him. Yun Kaizhou took the jar and took a big gulp. The rich aroma of wine instantly filled the entire Taoist temple.

"Shh!" Feng Qiongzhu suddenly opened her eyes and placed her fingers on her lips to signal them to be quiet.

He pointed to the bottom of the statue in front and motioned Yun Kaizhou to go over and listen to the movement below.

Yun Kaizhou immediately crawled forward on the ground, with his ears close to the ground, and vaguely heard some rustling sounds.

The knocking sounds of "dong dong dong" continued to be heard.

Yun Kaizhou shouted to the guards, "Come here, all of you." He waved his hand for them to gather around.

The guards looked at each other, confused, but still walked forward respectfully and asked in unison: "Prince?"

Yun Kaizhou pointed at the statue and said, "Try to push the statue aside and see if you can. There is a noise underneath. I suspect there is a secret room underneath."

Hearing this, five or six guards worked together to try to move the statue, but the statue did not move at all.

Upon seeing this, Feng Qiongzhu stood up and walked forward, squatted down to take a closer look, and pinched the mud and sand on the ground with her fingers.

She discovered: "This statue shows signs of having been moved before. Let's look around. There should be a mechanism."

She looked around, and her eyes finally fell on the incense burner in front of the statue. "Kaizhou, go try to turn the incense burner."
