"It could be true, or it could be false."
Wan Dianzhu, seizing the opportunity, offered his nonsensical words to make his presence known.
"The fourth sentence says, if you take the wrong path, you will meet an old friend.
Who is this old friend? It's completely unknown.
However, it's clear that choosing the right path is the most important aspect of this mission. Keep your eyes on the path ahead, and don't let anything strange appear without you noticing."
"Sister Xiaoyu's words are truly profound. Listening to your advice is like listening to no advice at all."
Wan Lei rolled his eyes. Fang Xiaoyu's analysis was no analysis at all.
Fang Xiaoyu glared at him fiercely, "If you think you can do better, then go ahead."
The group of five flew forward. As they got closer, they could see that the mountain was surrounded by a fence.
The fence was only about a person's height, made of thin steel, and even an ordinary person could easily climb over it. The fence seemed to serve more of a symbolic purpose.
However, Wan Lei and the others didn't believe these fences were as harmless as they appeared. After their experience at the amusement park, they had learned not to take anything lightly.
Looking to the right, there was an iron gate, very rudimentary, with the gate open and covered in rust.
Between the options of flying directly in or entering through the main gate, the group unhesitatingly chose the main gate.
The gate was just a gate, with no ticket office. It was likely that a cemetery was a place for people to pay respects to the deceased, and no tickets were needed.
To the right of the gate, a notice board was hung. Even without the dim moonlight, Wan Lei and the others could clearly read the words on it.
"Lingshan Cemetery sincerely welcomes your arrival. To ensure the safety of your property and life, please remember and abide by the following regulations.
One, when entering the cemetery, please do not make loud noises and maintain silence. This is out of respect for the deceased.
Two, please do not touch any offerings; the deceased will be angered.
Three, if you encounter danger or get lost, please seek help from those wearing white scarves within the cemetery. They are cemetery management staff and will assist you.
Four, if you encounter anyone wearing a black scarf, please ignore them. If they speak to you, do not reply and immediately proceed to the cemetery management office at the top of the mountain, where people will help you.
Five, please do not believe anything that anyone wearing a black scarf says.
Six, after paying respects, please leave as soon as possible without lingering. Do not stay in the cemetery for more than one hour.
Seven, if you hear the sound of digging from underground, please ignore it and move away quickly."
After reading, everyone fell into contemplation.
"In terms of brain-teasing, this Ghost Immortal secret realm far surpasses the previous ones," Wan Dianzhu said after a long pause.
"This means that this Ghost Immortal is much more intelligent than the other immortals. We must be even more cautious," Fang Xiaoyu said with a heavy heart.
When Gui Di, who was not far away, heard this, his eyes lit up. He immediately copied the sentence down, planning to boast to Tu Xian Zun when he returned to the Origin Plane.
"Look quickly, there's another sentence below," Hong Lian pointed to below the notice board.
That line of text was smaller and seemed to have been added later.
"Eight, please do not pick or trample the Moonpetal Grass. Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility."
Wan Lei chuckled.
"Uh... it's quite thoughtful, isn't it? If we just follow these rules, we won't be in any danger, right?"
"No."
It was Wang Fei who spoke.
The group turned to look, only to see Wang Fei looking at something to the left of the gate.
"Dianzhu, come and see, there's another notice here."
The group immediately went over and saw that there was indeed another identical sign, but the font on this sign was different from the one on the right.
The sign they had just looked at had fonts that were more like printing, neat and orderly.
But on the sign on the left, the font was clearly handwritten, with messy handwriting. The person who wrote it seemed to be in a hurry, or perhaps...
Terrified.
"Do not enter the cemetery! Do not enter the cemetery! Do not enter the cemetery!!!"
This first sentence shocked the five of them. As they continued to read,
"If you have an unassailable reason to enter, you must remember the following rules.
One, the cemetery has been abandoned for a long time, with no management office, and certainly no staff.
Two, if you see anyone wearing a white scarf blocking your way, please ignore them, do not listen to them, and if necessary, you may kill them. This is in self-defense.
Three, those wearing white scarves are no longer human. They are spirits who think they are cemetery managers and try to deceive visitors.
Four, if you encounter anyone wearing a black scarf, please believe them. They are people like you looking for a way out, but have unfortunately fallen into this place.
Five, please do not pick the Moonpetal Grass, but if you are blocked by someone in a white scarf and cannot resist, you can pick the Moonpetal Grass and wear it. Those in white scarves fear the Moonpetal Grass.
Six, if you hear the sound of digging from underground, you can choose to ignore it or choose to help it come out.
Seven, trust the companions by your side. Stay close to your companions. If your companion shows any abnormality, do not abandon them, take them with you."
After reading, the group fell silent again.
After a long while, Wan Lei sighed.
"Alas, no wonder the mission prompt advised us to use our own judgment when facing road signs. It turns out there are road signs with different rules. So, which one should we believe?"
"Just remember this information. Whether we believe one, or none of them, we still have to go in.
Once we're inside, we'll deal with whatever comes our way.
We have no other choice. Even if we bypass the cemetery, the immortal will find a way to get us in. He wouldn't let us pass by peacefully and uneventfully."
After Fang Xiaoyu finished speaking, she walked straight into the cemetery.
"Hey, hey, hey, wait for me. I'll go first."
Wan Lei grabbed Fang Xiaoyu and walked in front of her.
After entering the main gate, there was a winding path leading up the mountain.
The small yellow flowers by the roadside were beautiful, but the group had no mood to appreciate them.
Not long after walking forward, two more road signs appeared on both sides of the path.
Again, the left one was handwritten, and the right one was printed.
The left road sign read:
"You finally came in. You can no longer leave through the gate. Climb upwards bravely, and the gods will bless the brave."
After reading the left road sign, the group continued to read the right one.
The right road sign read:
"Be careful of your companions. If they show any abnormality, stay away from them and seek help from staff as quickly as possible."
"They tell us not to abandon our companions, and then tell us to stay away from them. What kind of abnormality will occur?"
As Wan Lei was mumbling, suddenly, Feng Bing behind him, as if possessed, started shouting wildly.
