Chapter 183: A Stupid Decision
In this way, Wuqi left the Magician Academy with disappointment. Since Lulu is no longer in school, is there any need for him to go in again? There is no such thing as at all.
But after finding the Magician Academy, Wuqi was still very happy. He remembered that as long as he followed this road, turned right on the second fork, and walked about ten minutes, he could see the palace. When he thought of finding the destination, Wuqi couldn't help but smile on his face.
"Ah? How could it be?"
However, when Wuqi really came to the destination according to his memory, he was surprised to find that he had not seen the palace at all, but an ordinary house, or a six-story building. There were several small shops outside the first floor, and sometimes he could see pedestrians passing by in groups of three or three.
Wuqi was stunned by what he saw in front of him. He clearly remembered that this place should be the palace! How could it suddenly become a residence for ordinary people? Even if the palace is moved, it will not leave any trace! And will the palace be moved easily?
Wuqi couldn't find an answer that satisfies him in his heart, so he walked into a grocery store and looked at the bald middle-aged man who was coming to him and asked: "Boss! I want to ask if there was a palace here once, but it was later moved?"
The bald middle-aged man did not reply, but looked at Wuqi with a strange look, as if he was looking at a monster. He was silent for five minutes before he asked, "Little brother, are you lost? There is no palace here."
"But I came here a few years ago, and it was not like this now. I remember very clearly that there should be a palace opposite me! And the streets here were not so narrow at that time." Wuqi said in confusion.
The bald middle-aged man shook his head and smiled, "Little brother! You must have gone wrong! I have lived here for almost twenty years. There has never been a palace here. You must have gone wrong. I have lived here forever and have never moved there. There is no palace you mentioned here. If you want to find a palace, you can go to the museum."
After saying that, the bald middle-aged man reached out to point in one direction in the sky, "Yes! That's that direction. If you keep walking, you can see a museum. The buildings there should be what you call the palace."
Wuqi immediately smiled when he heard this, bent down to thank the bald middle-aged man. Then he ran in the direction the grocery store owner pointed, and did not forget to remind himself in his heart that it seemed that I had remembered it wrong.
Maybe everyone is not called the palace, but the museum. I am so stupid, why don’t you even understand such a simple truth?
When he thought that maybe his way of asking for directions was wrong, a wry smile flashed across Wuqi's face, but soon, he felt extremely happy, because along the way, he would get the same answer as long as he asked pedestrians. The museum was ahead of him. This means that he was not far from finding Dou Sheng's residence.
However, when Wuqi actually came to the museum that the grocery store owner once pointed to him, Wuqi's face was immediately occupied by deep disappointment. There was a palace in front of him, and the decoration was extremely magnificent, but it was completely different from the palace in Wuqi's memory. Moreover, there was no one living in the palace in front of him at this time, just for tourists who wanted to visit.
I really didn't expect that it would be so difficult to find the place where Uncle Dou Sheng! I remember that when I returned from the Magician Academy, I was obviously walking like that. No. I also had to start from the street in front of the Magician Academy and walk again. Maybe I remembered something wrong at the beginning, which might be.
Half an hour later, Wuqi ran back to the Magician Academy and followed the impression in his memory to the palace in his memory again.
But this time, he failed again, but to Wuqi's surprise, this time, although he was sure that he was exactly the same as the road he had taken before, when Wuqi turned the last turn, he entered a crowded street, and there was no grocery store he had entered before.
This discovery surprised Wuqi, while being shocked, was even more shocked.
How could this happen? Could it be that I entered a maze? This place became a maze?
In order to confirm his guess, Wuqi returned to the Magician Academy the same way and walked again according to the way he remembered. This time, when he turned the last bend, the street in front of him was different from the previous two times. It was not a narrow residential area or a crowded commercial street, but it was actually a long and profound single-person alley.
Three attempts made Wuqi's heart a terrible thought arise. He tried several times without believing in evil, but the streets he saw were completely different every time, and there was no trace of illusion. This discovery finally made Wuqi's forehead seep out a whole row of cold sweat.
No wonder these ordinary people don’t know where the palace is. It seems that as the master said, although they live in the same city as the cultivators, they have never noticed the existence of cultivators. Uncle Dou Sheng actually hid the entire palace, and they are so sensible and unaware. So amazing!
Wuqi took a deep breath. He couldn't believe it was true, but the result of his own attempt made him admit that it was true.
What a great sealing technique! I always return in the way I remember, but every time I unknowingly walked on a different path. The only thing I can do this is the sealing technique recorded in the Ancient Scrolls. I remember that on that page, there is a sealing technique that can perform a large-scale visual seal. There is also a sealing technique that temporarily seals vision.
Awesome! It seems that this palace is clearly in front of me, but I can't find it. I really have no choice. What should I do if this continues?
After thinking about the matter in detail, Wuqi finally got a fact that he was incredible. The Dou Sheng Palace was not relocated or did not exist. It was simply sealed in it by a powerful sealing technique. The effect of this sealing technique is to distort vision.
As long as someone approaches the palace, they will have visual deviations due to the effect of the sealing technique while approaching the palace, and regard the clearly straight road as curved.
This is why Wuqi never went right every time he returned the same way. Of course, after knowing this result, Wuqi also admired this powerful man who arranged sealing techniques for the palace in his heart.
Because he had been to the palace a few years ago and lived there for a whole year, this means that this sealing technique is also intelligent. It can lift the temporary visual seal on someone at any time according to the owner's wishes. This is why Wuqi truly admires it.
Great! There are such capable people in the world! When I see Uncle Dou Sheng, I must find a way to meet this powerful sealing master. But it is really strange. Why is the sealing technique arranged by the palace, but the Axe Fighter Academy and the Magician Academy not arranged? Oh. I understand. I should hope to recruit more disciples from ordinary people. So that's it.
After thinking through all the doubts about the matter, Wuqi made up his mind secretly. He didn't plan to ask for directions anymore, but instead squatted around to see if he could be lucky enough to meet a cultivator who came out of the palace.
As long as he can meet one, he can let the other party take him into the palace. After all, relying on spells, he can easily detect whether the other party is an ordinary person or a cultivator.
Because the aura of these two is completely different, the aura of ordinary people is far less dense and powerful than that of cultivators.
Time passed, and soon, a week passed. Wuqi looked much more embarrassed than one week ago. His face was yellow, his eyes were dull, and his whole mental state was depressed, just like those children who had been malnourished for a long time. His figure was a full circle of weight loss than one week ago.
This is true. Since he planned to lie in the middle of the day a week ago, Wuqi was depressed and found that he seemed to have made an extremely stupid decision. After only three days, he was so hungry that his face turned pale and thin, and foamed at the mouth. Fortunately, a beggar on the roadside begging to see him fainting on the roadside, and gave him two steamed buns and a bowl of water. Only then did he come back to his senses from his coma.
However, how could he fill Wuqi's stomach with just two steamed buns? As a result, he had to endure the pain of starvation every day and beg with the beggar who saved his life.
After four days, Wuqi and the beggar became friends, but his expression became increasingly depressed, because a week passed, and Wuqi did not wait for any cultivator to pass. This is the real reason for his mental depression.
"Hey! Old guy!" Not far away, a middle-aged man with a big bearded dress, messy hair, and a pair of torn shoes on his feet was running towards Wuqi with excitement. While he was running, he was shaking his fists in his hand and waving his eyes to Wuqi, looking very happy.
"Old Wang, what's wrong? Why are you so happy today?" This man was the beggar who gave Wuqi steamed buns. After a few days of getting along, Wuqi didn't care what he called him. The other party's people were very good, but usually Lao Wang kept sighing at him. Today, he changed his usual appearance and looked at him happily. Wuqi was a little curious inside, and he asked with a smile.
"Look at what this is?" A hint of pride appeared in Lao Wang's eyes. He stretched his fist in front of Wuqi and slowly opened it. An emerald gem flashing with green light suddenly entered his eyes.
Wuqi had seen gold coins, but he only knew gold coins. He felt that gold coins were things that could be bought and sold. In his eyes, emeralds were no different from ordinary stones, so he asked in confusion: "Old Wang! Why are you here to do with a stone?"
Oh my God! You haven't even seen gems?
Lao Wang was almost angry by Wuqi's words, but he quickly recovered from calmness. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and smiled: "You are such a country bumpkin. With this, we can have a big meal today! I found it in the trash can just now. It seems that God has treated me well! I can still have such luck when I meet you boy. Today, I will treat you a big meal, how about it?"
