In the next few days, Xu Yuxiu lived peacefully.
During the day, Zhang Yuanyuan took him out for inspection.
He rushed back at dusk and continued to study the array diagram at night.
As she studied the battle map in depth, she could clearly feel that her understanding of the intermediate formations was deepening and strengthening at an extremely fast speed.
This made Xu Yuxiu feel a little curious.
Could it be that this array diagram is some kind of treasure?
This conjecture did not last long before she rejected it.
Because through in-depth research in the past few days, she has already seen some problems in the array diagram.
In the room, Xu Yuxiu spread out the diagram of the Golden Gate Lock Stone Array on the table.
Her eyes were fixed on one part of the formation diagram, and her eyebrows were slightly frowned.
"Why do the formation patterns here seem more and more redundant the more I look at them..."
She was a little unsure, so she immediately took out the "Commentary on Formation", then a piece of white paper and a pen, and began to verify it.
Finally, after some verification with frowning thoughts.
Only then did Xu Yuxiu relax his brows, and there was a clear look in his eyes.
She put down her pen and said to herself: "The five formation patterns here do not exist in the Golden Gate Lock Stone Formation at all!"
Immediately, she was a little confused: "Since these five formation patterns should not exist here, why are these five formation patterns in the formation diagram? Test?"
She couldn't figure it out, but her intuition told her that there must be a mystery hidden in it.
It's just that with her ability now, she can't fully discern the mystery hidden in it.
The next day.
Xu Yuxiu and Zhang Yuanyuan climbed to the top of a mountain.
Looking from top to bottom, you can see most of the Zhang family at a glance.
Suddenly, Xu Yuxiu's eyes moved slightly, she raised her finger and pointed somewhere, asking, "Senior sister, where is that place?"
Zhang Yuanyuan looked at the place she pointed at and said, "There is a deep pool there, which is the source of the stream at the foot of the mountain."
Hearing this, an idea flashed in Xu Yuxiu's mind, and a look of thought appeared in his eyes.
Seeing her like this, Zhang Yuanyuan couldn't help but ask, "Junior Sister Xu, is there any problem there?"
Xu Yuxiu shook his head and did not answer, but asked: "Senior sister, can you go there and have a look?"
"Of course, you can check around Zhang's house at will."
After that, the two of them walked towards the place where the deep pool was.
After a while, the two came to the place where the deep pool was.
Xu Yuxiu then saw a mouth of the pond that was about three feet square.
Just standing here, you can feel a cool breath.
If you look closer, you can see that the water in the pool is so clear that you can see the bottom at a glance.
However, as you look further down, you can only see a dark patch, and you cannot see the bottom of the deep pool.
Xu Yuxiu watched for a while, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart unconsciously.
She felt like the bottom of the pool was like a bottomless black hole, as if someone could fall into it and be swallowed by it without paying attention.
After only looking at it for a moment, she withdrew her gaze.
"Junior sister Xu, did you see anything?" Zhang Yuanyuan asked immediately when she saw her look away.
Xu Yuxiu's face showed a hint of solemnity: "There is something weird here!"
"eccentric?"
Zhang Yuanyuan looked confused, "Do you want me to go down and have a look?"
She is at the eighth level of Qi refining, and with her own cultivation, it is no problem to enter a deep pool.
Xu Yuxiu shook his head, "I feel that the bottom of the pool is very dangerous, so it's better not to go exploring personally. Senior sister, just use your spiritual sense to explore it."
Spiritual exploration.
Zhang Yuanyuan also understood why Xu Yuxiu said this.
After all, in her opinion, Xu Yuxiu was only at the fourth level of Qi training, so his spiritual consciousness was naturally inferior to hers. Using spiritual consciousness to detect could avoid great dangers.
She nodded, and immediately released her spiritual consciousness and plunged into the deep pool.
Xu Yuxiu watched from the side and secretly pinched a talisman in his hand.
Not long after, Zhang Yuanyuan shivered suddenly and withdrew his consciousness.
"Senior sister, did you detect anything?" Xu Yuxiu asked immediately.
Zhang Yuanyuan calmed down for a while, then shook her head and replied: "No, the lower the pool goes, the colder it becomes. My consciousness only penetrated thirty feet deep and I couldn't stand it anymore."
Thirty feet...
A monk at the eighth level of Qi Refining can release more than forty feet of spiritual consciousness at least.
Xu Yuxiu didn't expect that the deep pool was deeper than he expected.
In this case, it will be impossible to find out clearly.
Zhang Yuanyuan was also thankful at this time that she didn't go down in person rashly.
She felt that if she went deep enough to explore with her spiritual consciousness, even the spiritual power in her body would become sluggish.
In that case, she herself would be in danger.
What is in this deep pool?
Such doubts arose in Zhang Yuanyuan's heart.
Xu Yuxiu was silent for a moment and then said: "Senior sister, that's it for today. I have some questions that I would like to deduce and verify on the formation diagram."
"Oh well."
Immediately, the two of them stopped staying and went straight down the mountain back to the Zhang family's main house.
Just after the two left.
The water in the deep pool was surging, as if something was about to rush out.
Suddenly, a figure appeared. He raised his hand and punched out a few spells, which were imprinted in the pool.
After a while, the surging water in the pool gradually subsided.
"I almost let you out, maybe because I felt your daughter's breath!"
The man's eyes were cold and his tone was cold, "I didn't expect that little girl to be so sharp. She discovered something strange here so quickly. It seems we need to act quickly!"
After that, the figure disappeared, and calm returned to the pond.
Back at the attic, Xu Yuxiu immediately took out the array diagram and spread it out without resting.
Then he took out the compass, and also took out the terrain map that he had observed and drawn over the past few days, and began to deduce the entire formation map based on the terrain map.
With the injection of spiritual power, lines lit up on the compass.
As the lines flow, they follow certain special rules and show different instructions.
Xu Yuxiu picked up his pen and began to outline the formation nodes on the terrain map.
Although we haven't surveyed all the terrain yet, there's no other way to go now.
Only in this way can she verify her suspicions.
This deduction took her a whole day and night.
It didn't end until noon on the second day.
Just as she put down her pen, a strong feeling of dizziness hit her mind.
Xu Yuxiu felt blurry in front of her eyes and almost lost her balance and fell down.
Just at this moment, a jade arm stretched out to support her, preventing her from falling.
"Junior sister Xu, how are you?"
Zhang Yuanyuan's somewhat anxious voice came.
Xu Yuxiu looked up and saw an anxious look on her face, and shook her head, "Senior sister, why are you here?"
"I didn't see any sign of you all morning, so I came here by myself. I saw you rehearsing the formation diagram, so I didn't bother you."
Zhang Yuanyuan explained briefly, then showed a look of concern, "None of these are important, your body is the most important now!"
"I'm fine. It's just that the deduction of the formation consumes too much energy. It won't be a big problem if I take a rest."
Xu Yuxiu said weakly.
Hearing this, Zhang Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I will help you go to bed, and you can have a good rest these days."
Xu Yuxiu nodded.
Zhang Yuanyuan helped her onto the bed and lay down.
At this moment, Uncle Fu came to the attic and said, "Miss, the head of the family has returned with a message."
"What!"
When Zhang Yuanyuan heard this, her face suddenly showed joy, but immediately after seeing Xu Yuxiu, she seemed a little hesitant.
"Senior sister, go and do your business."
Zhang Yuanyuan hesitated for a while, but finally nodded, "Junior sister, you have to take care of yourself. I will come see you later."
After that, she followed Fu Bo and left the attic.
