"Those should be believers of the Aragami Sect. They are here for pilgrimage. Let's stay away. They are all lunatics."
There was fear in Ji Lan's beautiful eyes. The two of them were already surrounded by enemies on all sides, but they didn't expect to encounter this famously crazy sect.
Aragami Valley is named after the legendary ancient Aragami God.
It is said that a long time ago, the Aragami fell here. Since then, various extraordinary phenomena have occurred here.
Most people in Kyushu do not agree with the theory of the wild god, and the mainstream cultivator world even identifies it as an evil god.
But there is a small group of people who paranoidly regard Aragami as their orthodox god. Only Aragami can save them from suffering.
When there were more of these people, the Aragami Sect was born, a thorny organization whose teachings were full of madness and extremes, causing headaches even for the imperial court.
Ji Lanchu briefly introduced the various incredible teachings and alms of the Huangshen Sect to Gu Chen, and the two decided to stay away from them.
It was originally not easy to pass through the Valley of the Wild Gods, but if we met this group of people, there would be no return.
The two of them kept a good distance from the followers of the Aragami Sect and sneaked towards the Aragami Valley.
"Reincarnation is endless, and sorrows are endless! Have mercy on me, the world, and a god descends from the sky! Infinite desolate gods, take me home!"
A group of followers of the Aragami Sect continued to shout slogans, ringing bells and magic weapons, and walked slowly and unhurriedly towards the Aragami Valley.
Gu Chen and the others walked around in front of them, crossed the hundreds of miles of no-man's land, and soon saw the mouth of the Wild God Valley.
Seeing this, his face couldn't help but change slightly.
A group of soldiers from the Tianjing Mansion actually blocked the place and were waiting for it!
"Damn it, I underestimated the meticulousness of Tianjing Mansion. They even sent people to guard the entrance of Huangshen Valley!"
Ji Lan's pretty face turned cold at first. She had been pressed hard for days, and she was already reaching her limit.
Gu Chen looked at the army in the distance with purple eyes, and he immediately saw their number and general strength clearly.
"There are not many guards. It seems that Tianjing Mansion doesn't pay much attention to this place and doesn't think you will pass by here. If the two of us take action, we can quickly deal with them, but in that case, the whereabouts will be completely exposed.
"
Gu Chen muttered.
"The road inside the Aragami Valley is not easy to walk. It would be easy for them to catch up. They could even go around to the other end of the valley and wait for the enemy."
Ji Lanchu's face looked ugly.
"In that case, there is only one way left."
Gu Chen turned around and looked at the group of crazy followers of the Wild God Cult behind him.
…
"The mortal world is like a prison, and all living beings are suffering! Reincarnation is endless, and sorrows are endless!"
A group of followers of the Aragami Sect, dressed in sackcloth and barefoot, came to the entrance of the Aragami Valley.
Suddenly, a group of soldiers from the Tianjing Mansion looked nervous, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Stop! This place is strictly prohibited!"
"Have mercy on me, human beings. Gods will descend from heaven! Infinite desolate gods will take me home!"
A group of believers ignored them, chanted slogans to themselves, and continued to move forward.
"Stop, stop everyone!"
Several soldiers suddenly became anxious and fired their spears.
Dong Dong Dong Dong.
A group of believers immediately started a weird dance, stamping their feet on the ground, and the sound was neat and regular, as if it could shock people's hearts.
"Make way! Otherwise I will take you home!"
The leader of the Aragami Cult believer yelled angrily, and the other believers followed with ferocious faces and stamped their feet vigorously, as if they were going to kill the whole family if they disagreed.
The faces of many soldiers turned pale instantly.
"Forget it! Let them in, don't you know how crazy these believers are?"
"There was once a powerful sect leader in Liangzhou who said a few words to question Huang Shen. Within five days, the entire sect was killed by the followers of Huang Shen!"
Many soldiers were timid and tried to dissuade the few who insisted on guarding the entrance of the valley.
"But, there are orders from above..."
Those people suddenly looked embarrassed.
"Why do you care so much? Do you think Princess Lanchu and her lover might enter the Wild God Valley and seek death? Is it possible that they are among this group of people?"
Another soldier said angrily.
Those few people looked at the group of believers who were full of fanaticism and seemed to be possessed by something crazy, and felt that it was impossible for the dignified princess to be hiding inside.
"Oh well."
Many soldiers quickly retreated and cleared the way.
A group of believers then chanted slogans and entered the Valley of the Wild God with three steps and one bow.
Among this group of people, there were two unfamiliar male and female faces, and their pilgrim movements were obviously relatively unfamiliar. Unfortunately, no one in the group of soldiers could tell.
As soon as they entered the Aragami Valley, the two people in the crowd breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"I feel like I'm really crazy."
Ji Lanchu was speechless. God knows how she could agree to Gu Chen's bad idea, sneak in pretending to be a believer, and do so many embarrassing actions...
"Well, what they said before was quite interesting. They said I was a murderer before. When did I become your lover?"
Gu Chen cared about something different and teased with a smile.
Ji Lanchu immediately rolled her eyes at him, and that look was actually a bit enchanting.
"It's great now. I successfully escaped from marriage, but ended up running away with a guy like you who I haven't seen his true face, and maybe even his name is fake."
She complained that they had been hiding here and there in the past few days and had heard some rumors about them.
Ever since Gu Chen rescued her that day, the rumors seemed to be getting out of control.
Gu Chen touched his nose and said nothing. Ji Lanchu was really right. His appearance was fake and so was his name.
"Okay, let's study this valley and see how to get out."
The two of them fell behind the believers and looked at the infamous Valley of the Wild Gods.
The first impression I got was that it was weird.
There is a faint gray mist lingering in the Aragami Valley. I don't know what it is made of, but I don't seem to feel uncomfortable if I smell it.
Outside this valley is hundreds of miles of wasteland, and all the trees are bare. But entering this valley, there are green grasses, fragrant flowers, and flowers blooming.
The vegetation here is so lush and the flowers are so colorful and blooming too brightly.
The strong contrast between the inside and outside and the exaggeratedly vivid natural beauty give people a chilling feeling.
"Both of you."
The leading disciple of the Wild God Sect walked towards Gu Chen and the other two. He was a middle-aged man with an unusually fair complexion.
Gu Chen and Ji Lanchu looked at each other, and at the same time imitated other believers, they made a movement on their chests and recited, "Infinite Desolate God."
Seeing this, the middle-aged man showed a satisfied smile.
"You two have just joined our Aragami Sect. Although you are sincere, you still need to complete the rituals that need to be completed."
He said, his voice a little shrill.
"I wonder what the ceremony is?"
the two asked.
In order to sneak into the Aragami Sect's team and enter here, they had previously pretended to be believers and asked to join, so that everything would go smoothly.
"We are the third branch of the Aragami Sect. We follow the ancient method of forgetting both things and ourselves and serving the Lord wholeheartedly. Therefore, once we join the religion, women must cut off their hair and men must cut off the root of their troubles."
