"That's true."
Xia Chenjing sighed and looked up at Jiang Ming, only to find that Jiang Ming seemed to have changed into a different person.
"Why did you change your face?" he asked warily. "I still don't understand the situation."
Xia Chenjing instantly used his spiritual energy to create a mirror.
Following the mirror, Jiang Ming found that his face had changed from a man in his twenties to an older man in his thirties.
However, his current height was still the same.
Jiang Ming touched his face and instantly felt a layer of something stuck to his face. He immediately lifted it up.
However, the face could move randomly. Seeing that it could not be on Jiang Ming, it jumped directly onto Xia Chenjing's face.
Xia Chenjing was caught off guard, and his face was directly covered by that face.
He tried his best to tear it off his face, but he could not.
This was because he did not expect this face to be so difficult to deal with. For a moment, he did not care if he would hurt his face. He immediately clenched his fist and hammered his face.
Jiang Ming reacted quickly and blocked his fist.
"Don't move around. It won't be good if you hurt yourself."
Jiang Ming went up directly and peeled off the other face.
Xia Chenjing did not expect Jiang Ming to remove the face directly. He was immersed in a daze and look at the face in his hand foolishly.
Seeing Xia Chenjing's expression, Jiang Ming could not help but laugh. He teased him, "Xia Chenjing, are you stupid? Why are you staring at the thing in my hand without moving?"
At this moment, the face suddenly wanted to break free from Jiang Ming's hand, but Jiang Ming grabbed it tightly.
It opened its mouth and wanted to bite Jiang Ming's finger, but Jiang Ming hit it instead.
Not only that, but he also threw the face to the ground and stepped on it with the soles of his feet. He released the silver needles in his hand and fixed the face to the eaves firmly.
It truly just looked like a piece of skin.
"Are we going to leave this thing here? What if this is someone's face?"
Xia Chenjing looked at this fixed face with some concern.
Jiang Ming was amused by Xia Chenjing. "Have you forgotten? There was no one left in the Stone Mud Kingdom. To be precise, the residents here have already turned into golems and are even controlled by that cultivation priest. Who would casually cut off their face?"
Xia Chenjing only remembered what Suwen Jinghuai said at this time and could not help but feel a little embarrassed. Then, he said, "Then let's set off quickly. I wonder how Suwen Jinghuai is doing now."
Jiang Ming glanced at the face and looked around.
He felt that someone was secretly watching them, but they could not find that person for the time being.
Xia Chenjing had the same feeling as Jiang Ming. As someone who had experienced many battles, he could not help but be afraid of the person who was secretly monitoring him.
This was the first time he had seen someone so strange.
Then, he followed Jiang Ming forward, and Jiang Ming looked around.
After a while, they saw some more puppets.
These puppets stood in front of the door like soldiers, surrounding a luxurious courtyard.
The courtyard was shabby in Xia Chenjing's eyes, but Jiang Ming thought it was luxurious.
Xia Chenjing sighed and said, "The courtyard surrounded by these puppets can't be the courtyard where the cultivation priest is, right? This arrangement is really simple and unadorned."
He was shocked.
Even King Fengyu, who had pretended to be simple to him, would not live in such a plain place.
He did not expect that this cultivation priest could live in such a simple place.
Hearing Xia Chenjing's words, Jiang Ming could not help but pause. He glanced at him and then at the gold on the plaque. He felt strange.
"Are you okay? This courtyard is clearly very luxurious."
Was he a peasant to not know what luxury was?
He could not believe that Xia Chenjing actually did not think that this building full of gold was luxurious.
However, even if it was all gold, it was still a little rustic.
Xia Chenjing was also confused. "I think it's very simple. The sign on it is about to fall off. The same goes for the door. This wall is even worse. The paint has turned gray. It looks like it has not been tidied up for many years."
Xia Chenjing told him everything he saw.
Jiang Ming also told him what he saw.
"I saw that the entire courtyard was made of gold. Even the flowers in the garden looked like they were made of gold. That plaque was even made of gold."
Hearing that Jiang Ming's vision was completely different from what he saw, Xia Chenjing's eyes widened, and he continued to stare at the courtyard in front of him carefully.
However, no matter how he looked at the courtyard, it was still as dilapidated as he had described.
"What kind of spell is this? You're trying to confuse me again."
Xia Chenjing felt that he had gained nothing and felt helpless.
He felt that he could not keep up with the current spells at all. The attacks on the battlefield were more than enough for him to deal with.
Here, he was like a headless chicken.
Perhaps this courtyard was a test.
Jiang Ming changed the topic. "No matter what this courtyard is like, let's go in and take a look first. We have to avoid these puppets first. If these puppets discover us, they will alarm the people in the courtyard."
"I think you're right."
Xia Chenjing began to focus on dealing with these puppets.
However, the puppets suddenly sensed the arrival of the two people and began to patrol.
They lined up in a line and walked around the four corners of the courtyard.
Their eyes were bright, and they did not look tired at all.
Jiang Ming noticed that there was a thin barrier outside the courtyard, but the barrier was transparent. If he did not look carefully, he would not be able to notice it.
Xia Chenjing wanted to rush over at this time, but he suddenly felt odd. He stopped and said to Jiang Ming, "I seem to feel something. This feeling makes me afraid to go forward. I'm really afraid that there's some invisible barrier."
Jiang Ming kindly told Xia Chenjing the truth.
