Qin Yunchuan jumped over the crowd and led the way. Not long after walking, he came to the place where he heard two men in black robes talking.
Pointing to the northwest, he said: "I heard from those two people that if you walk five or six miles from this direction, you will reach the Hidden Wind Retreat."
Several people nodded, and Shi Dahong walked to the front first. In a few leaps, he was already hundreds of feet away. Suddenly he shouted loudly: "Come and see if these are the fragments from Junior Sister Shen's clothes."
After Zhou Yan and Su Yingying heard it, they quickly followed. From Shi Dahong's hand, he took a piece of lavender dress rag.
After looking through it carefully for a moment, Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Yes, this is the skirt Xiaodie is wearing. It must have been accidentally hung by a branch when the two men in black robes were staying here."
Now that they were sure the direction was good, they felt relieved. Following the traces left by the two men in black robes, they chased towards the northwest.
In the dense forest, the light is dim.
After chasing for more than a mile, the five people discovered that the woods in front of them had begun to undergo some subtle changes. The originally chaotic trees began to become somewhat orderly after arriving here.
Su Yingying stopped everyone in time and stood in front of these trees. I carefully looked at the arrangement of these trees, and my brows relaxed after a while.
"This forest seems to be growing freely with no rules. In fact, it contains the formation of the Nine Stars and Eight Meridians." Su Yingying said, pointing to the forest in front of her, explaining to everyone what it was. Nine stars and eight meridians.
These Nine Stars and Eight Meridians were created by Demon Emperor Bai Ze of Demon Underworld Palace. You can make full use of the boulders in the woods, flowers and plants on the path, and other things that can be found everywhere to create a seemingly simple, but actually dangerous, formation.
As long as some traps are added to the formation, the formation can be both offensive and defensive, and can also serve as an early warning and precaution. Because it can be arranged according to local conditions, most of the spirits in Yaoming Palace will understand this formation.
When Su Yingying was in Yuntai Peak, in addition to practicing exercises, she also dabbled in things like formations. Therefore, we can discover the nine-star and eight-meridian formation implicit here in time.
Mu Jingyu asked: "Senior Sister Su, can you tell what this Nine Stars and Eight Meridians Formation is used for?"
"I think it should be used as a warning." Su Yingying said as she took out a pair of transparent gloves from the pouch at her waist.
After being put on the hand, it emits a fluorescent color and instantly illuminates the surrounding area. Su Yingying stretched her right hand, which was holding the glove, to the front. Slowly walked towards the formation.
In the woods ahead, under the fluorescent light, an extremely tiny snow-white thread of light flashed. Su Yingying stood in front of these snow-white silk lights, carefully inspected them, and then stepped back again.
"Have you seen those snow-white silk threads? They are the white threads spun out by the seven-tailed silkworms in the snowy area. It is usually extremely difficult to find. Moreover, in this dark dense forest, if it were not for the illumination of the green gloves, it would be impossible to find them. .”
Qin Yunchuan said: "Snowland seven-tailed silkworm? But that kind can spit out seven silk threads at once. After forming a net, it can cover a radius of dozens of miles, and then the main body hides in the center. Once an outsider is found to have entered, they can be discovered in time That kind of silkworm?"
Su Yingying smiled and said: "I didn't expect that Brother Qin also knew about this thing." Then she continued: "Because of the unique ability of the seven-tailed silkworms in the Snow Region, Yaowei Temple usually tame them. They specially use the silk nets they spun to cover the The surrounding areas of the cave are used to guard against external enemies. Once someone enters, they can be discovered in time."
Zhou Yan said: "Since this place is surrounded by this kind of silk, it will not be easy for us to enter without being discovered."
Mu Jingyu pointed to the tree crown that covered the sky and said, "Since we can't get in from below, we can get in from above the woods."
Su Yingying shook her head and said: "Jingyu, you see how vigilant you are in this dense forest. There must be many hidden weapons in the sky."
Shi Dahong was a little anxious: "You can't get in here, and you can't get in there. We can't let these little silk threads block our way. In my opinion, it's better to break in. If it's true, Exposing my whereabouts is exactly what I want. If I have a good fight with those monsters, I might be able to take advantage of the chaos and rescue Junior Sister Shen."
"Junior Brother Shi, why can't you keep calm? Let's listen to what Junior Sister Su has to say first." Qin Yunchuan saw that Su Yingying was not in a hurry. He thought he already had a solution in mind, so he seemed unhurried.
Mu Jingyu also said: "Yes, Senior Sister Su, if you have any good ideas, please tell us quickly, so as not to make Brother Shi anxious."
Su Yingying smiled and said: "Everything in this world has its own consequences. Since the silk has sealed the dense forest, it is impossible to disperse. Not only will our rash entry trigger a warning, even if the spirits of the Demon Hades Palace enter, they will also kill the Snowy Seven Tails. The silkworms are alarmed.”
Qin Yunchuan slapped his thigh and said, "You're right! Those two men in black robes came in from here. Didn't they also have no mechanism to trigger this kind of silk? Maybe there is a way to crack it around here."
Shi Dahong said: "Senior Sister Su, if you really have any solution, please tell me quickly."
Su Yingying flew up and disappeared deep into the canopy in the blink of an eye. Just when everyone didn't know what she meant, she was already floating down from the tree crown. Holding two green fruits in each hand, they fell back to the ground.
"The fruits on the crown of this fragrant sandalwood tree, and the branches and leaves that flow out after being smashed, can also emit a pale light like a green glove. After it is applied to the body, it can illuminate the surroundings and find these extremely small of silk."
Mu Jingyu clapped his hands and laughed: "Hahaha, I understand what Senior Sister Su means. As long as we can see clearly where these silks are, we can naturally avoid them without fear of accidentally touching them. I don't believe it. , this silk can also entangle the entire forest."
Su Yingying nodded with a smile and said: "That's what I mean. As long as we are careful and don't touch the silk, we don't have to worry about being discovered by the Snowy Seven-tailed Silkworm."
Upon hearing this, everyone rushed to the crown of the tree and picked two fruits each. Following Su Yingying's method, she smashed a hole in these fruits. All the juice flowing out of it was smeared on his clothes.
The juice seemed to be transparent. After touching the clothes, it quickly condensed into a layer of transparent crystals like wax skin. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all.
Zhou Yan was initially worried that the juice would have a peculiar smell and color, and was distressed that it would stain her beautiful dress. After Su Yingying applied it all over her body, she went up and smelled it carefully. After finding that there was no smell or color, she followed the example of others and broke the hard shell of the fruit.
Su Yingying smiled and said: "Sister Zhou, don't worry, the fruit on the sandalwood tree is colorless and odorless. After you apply it on your clothes, it will condense into a thin layer of white skin. It will become natural in less than two hours. It falls off without leaving any trace.”
Zhou Yan laughed awkwardly when his thoughts were revealed. Use your hands to spread the juice that flowed out evenly onto the red dress.
In just a moment, five teenagers emitting light fluorescence stood side by side in the woods.
Under the illumination of these fluorescent lights, snow-white silk threads appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Su Yingying took the lead and stepped into the Nine Stars and Eight Meridians Formation.
"Follow my footsteps, remember not to move around at will. Although we can see these silk threads clearly, we must be extremely careful not to touch even one silk thread."
As Su Yingying spoke, she carefully avoided the silk that was as dense as a spider web. Before taking a few steps, he turned around and glanced at the people following him, and then said: "Oh, I almost forgot. This Nine Stars and Eight Meridians Formation contains the Qimen Dunjia. Moreover, the light in this forest is dim, and the trees It’s so dense. Once you take a wrong step, you’re very likely to lose your way.”
After Su Yingying finished speaking, she still felt uneasy. Once again, he took out a small and exquisite candlestick from the brocade bag. As soon as he loosened his palm, the candlestick rose to the top of his head, and a faint light suddenly emitted from the candlestick.
At the same time, eight virtual candlesticks were evenly distributed in a circular shape around the area, covering an area of seven to eight feet, covering all five people in the light.
"The light emitted by this Qingmeng Candlestick can not only illuminate the surrounding environment, but also detect hidden mechanisms around it in time. Otherwise, we will only focus on guarding against these silk threads, which will undoubtedly trigger other traps."
Su Yingying was born in Yuntai Peak. Before going down the mountain, Master Chiyang, the first person in Yuntai Peak, specially took more than ten magic weapons, put them into a small Qiankun bag, and gave them to her. It can prevent them from encountering any danger in Kyushu and can also be used to defend themselves in time.
After walking for three miles, the silkworms densely covered in the woods completely disappeared. Walked out of the woods that hinted at formations.
Su Yingying did not dare to remove the Qingmeng Candlestick in time to prevent any traps from appearing suddenly later. After walking another two miles, even the woods began to thin out.
Based on what the two men in black robes said, they should be arriving at Zangfeng Youju soon. Su Yingying took away the Qingmeng Candlestick, and the other people also used their weapons. They formed a small circle to guard against possible demons from the Underworld Palace.
"Look!" Mu Jingyu suddenly pointed to the end of the woods, and saw a large manor appearing in front of everyone.
Qin Yunchuan raised his left hand to signal everyone to stop. Hiding in the dense forest, he first observed from a distance, and after seeing that no one had discovered him, he called a few people to his side.
"That must be the Hidden Wind Residence of Demon Underworld Palace. We don't know what's going on inside, so we can't sneak in hastily. According to my opinion, I'd better go in and explore the situation myself. After I find out the situation, I'll Go in under the cover of night and wait for an opportunity to rescue Xiaodie."
By this time, the sky was getting dark. In less than an hour, it will be night. At that time, everyone can take advantage of the darkness of night to sneak into the secluded residence of Zangfeng.
Otherwise, depending on the cultivation of a few of them, if they want to force their way into this place, they will no doubt be like a cotton sheep entering a tiger's mouth and a small snake entering a dragon's pond. Once discovered, there is no retreat even if you want to run.
Seeing that Shi Dahong wanted to follow, Zhou Yan quickly stopped him and said, "Junior brother Shi, please stop causing trouble. Let Yunchuan go in alone and explore the situation first."
Su Yingying also said: "Yes, Senior Brother Qin is the one with the highest cultivation level among us. If he goes in alone, there will be any danger, so he can get out in time. Besides, we stay here, once If he encountered danger inside, he might as well respond in time."
Qin Yunchuan nodded and said: "Junior Sister Su is right. If you stay here, you are not only responsible for helping me take care of the situation, but more importantly, helping me protect the two of them. After all, Yan'er and Junior Sister Su are just women. No matter what happens, you still need a man to withstand it!"
Zhou Yan's temperament is bold and resolute, not inferior to men at all. At this moment, when Qin Yunchuan said that Shi Dahong was actually allowed to protect him, he was immediately dissatisfied. Just when he was about to protest a few words, he was unexpectedly pinched secretly by Su Yingying. He turned to look at the latter and saw that he blinked at him. Only then did he realize that Qin Yunchuan was just looking for a reason to keep Shi Dahong here.
"Then... okay! Senior Brother Qin, you go to investigate the situation first, and I will stay here to protect Junior Sister Su and Senior Sister Zhou."
After Qin Yunchuan gave a few more instructions, he just wanted to sneak into the secluded residence of Zangfeng. Mu Jingyu suddenly grabbed his shirt and shouted, "Brother Qin, I'll go with you too."
