"I volunteer to be the judge!" someone said from the outside using sound friction. This time it's not painful to anyone who heard. Gao Lan Mei raised her brow at Gao Shen, who sheepishly smiled.
The rest who did not know who spoke glanced outside. The door to the room was open after Gao Shen's climatic entrance.
"Gao Shen! You buffoon! How dare you leave your guests behind!" the voice was accusing but there was no harmful intent. It sounded more playful like reprimanding a child who stole a cookie.
Wrinkling his nose, "Oh! Just get over here will yah?!" as soon as he said that, the Gao Family saw two figures, moving swiftly from outside the wall of the Gao Manor to their current location.
"Good afternoon to the Gao family." Cupping their fist with a slight bow as a greeting. "We will be in your care while we stay in the mortal domain." The taller man said with refined courtesy like that of a noble.
Gao Lan Mei observed the new arrivals. Both men were handsome in their own right. They wore the same white robes laced with gold, the only difference on the attire was the color of the jade amulet hanging on their waist.
The taller one had a black jade amulet, while the other had a red jade amulet. Both wore red Buddha bracelets as well as Cultivation Restriction Talismans.
In all the domain's peace treaty agreements, it was a consensus decision that high degree cultivators could only enter a lower domain if they wore a restriction talisman.
The agreement was also blessed by heavenly beings allowing the restriction talisman to automatically deliver punishment if there was a violation by a cultivator.
Surprisingly, they also followed with the same rule that meant anyone from the Heavenly Domain, would also wear the talismans.
Yes, once upon a time from the history of all domain, representatives were chooses so they could have an agreement on how to protect all existence. That time they all decided to be civil, set aside their swords.
That everyone wanted peace. They used their mouth instead and sit down on a table to discuss how to stop the war and bloodshed. No wanted to kill or bash the head of another representative or dance with their enemies. Did they have a tea party afterward? Probably, not.
The punishment would depend on the violation. A typical restriction talisman consisted of 19 mantras or spells to ward of evil.
The number of beads on restriction talisman also counted the same, with this the punishment would also vary under the same number.
Being kicked back to your respected domain was the first punishment. How could that be considered a punishment?
The worst punishment she knew that was placed on a talisman was death. Being smashed by an unseen force, flattening you to the ground. Who knows if that was still the case now?
Just imagine yourself falling from a very high place, bypassing strong barriers forcefully along the way down, without even having time to think when the travel would stop then making you feel your skull would crack open anytime. Yes, that's exactly how it felt.
How did Gao Lan Mei know? Did she experience it before? Nope. No need to experience something that you designed yourself in your previous life.
As if the talisman could make her leave that place before.
It's enough that she listened to the beings who rant because of not following the restrictions.
Though the spiritual presence was not as pressuring like Gao Shen it was still there. Like a serene layer of energy humming in the air, that could either give you strange comfort or anxiety.
Gao Shen approached the two, "This is our Senior Apprentice, Wang Li," gesturing to the taller who, acknowledge with a nod, "then Senior apprentice Fa Li." Introducing the other.
"Welcome to our humble abode." Gao Qi said. The family moved closer and respectfully bowed as a greeting to the visitors from the Immortal Domain.
