Seeing the "kind" smile on Gu Qingxi's face, not to mention Lin Wanli, even they felt aggrieved and wanted to die: What kind of world is this? How come all the good things happened to Gu Qingxi, but she made a profit. The bowls were full, but they couldn't even drink the soup.
Ignoring their resentful looks, Gu Qingxi continued to walk forward.
If Shen Mengli is indeed no longer alive, whoever is destined to take the herbs left behind can take them. Even if it brings some benefits to Lin Wanli and others, Gu Qingxi doesn't think it matters. After all, the old man suffered a lot, so giving him something sweet should be regarded as comfort.
But since Shen Mengli is still alive, how can outsiders get their hands on these herbs.
If it weren't for the fact that the tenth-grade herbs were too old and had reached the end of their vitality, it would be a waste to leave them there without harvesting them. Gu Qingxi actually wouldn't want to do it.
Passing through the garden, there is another gate in front.
Lin Wanli subconsciously paused. He was bitten by a snake and had been afraid of well ropes for ten years. Now he felt frightened when he saw the gate.
Of course, Gu Qingxi was not worried and went straight to the door and looked at the runes on it.
Unlike the first gate, this gate is actually equipped with a defensive formation. Although she knew very well that this defensive formation was prepared for Lin Wanli and others, she was still very curious about the interesting gameplay Qingtong said.
This time Gu Qingxi was stumped.
As expected of the demon spirit who is best at borrowing the power of heaven and earth, she recognized each of the runes carved on the door by Qingtong, but when they were added together to form a formation, she couldn't figure it out.
She just felt that this formation seemed to have something in common with the formations she knew, but they were completely different.
In short, after watching it for a while, Gu Qingxi was still confused and didn't understand what the formation was.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, have you figured out the principles of the formation? If you can't figure it out, why don't you let me take a look." Lin Wanli finally felt a little more relaxed when he saw that the door was carved with runes instead of ferocious beasts.
Just a moment ago, he was just one step slower and allowed Gu Qingxi to take the lead in collecting those tenth-grade herbs. The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he regretted it. He didn't want to let Gu Qingxi take the lead this time.
"Okay, Elder Lin, let's take a look too." Gu Qingxi stepped aside.
Lin Wanli hurried up and looked at the runes on the door with his eyes wide open.
But even Gu Qingxi couldn't understand it, so how could he see anything? A pair of eyes were so wide that they almost fell out of their sockets, but their expressions became more and more confused.
After half an hour, Lin Wanli rubbed his eyes and finally looked away helplessly.
"Fourth Elder, is this formation difficult to break?" Lin Yuheng asked.
"Well, it's very difficult." Lin Wanli nodded.
Not only was it difficult, he had no idea what the formation was about, and he had no idea how to break it.
To say it is difficult is to put yourself in a flattering light.
"Then, do you want to try to force the door open?" Lin Yuheng asked.
"Okay, do you want to give it a try?" Lin Wanli glanced at him angrily.
You don't even look at how injured I am, and you still want to force a goal? If you want to die, you can do it yourself, don't drag me into the water.
"Uh..." Lin Yuheng looked at the fourth elder's hand, which had finally stopped bleeding and had barely recovered from its chicken claws, and decisively gave up on that unrealistic idea.
"Fourth Elder, what should we do? We can't wait for the formation to open on its own, right?" Lin Yuheng asked later.
Imagining the beautiful scene of Gu Qingxi asking him for help and kneeling down to apologize to him, he was looking forward to it, excited and impatient. He couldn't wait for a long time, and of course he didn't want to waste time like this.
"Let me think about this again, and I can always find a way." Lin Wanli said vaguely.
After all, he was the fourth elder of the Lin family. He didn't want to admit in front of Lin Yuheng and several accompanying disciples that he had nothing to do with this formation, so he could only pretend to be fat.
Hearing what Lin Wanli said, Gu Qingxi couldn't help but look at him with pity.
If Lin Wanli had some self-awareness and retreated from the difficulty, he would still have escaped disaster. But he insisted on not leaving, wouldn't that just fulfill Qingtong's wish?
If a person wants to die, there is really nothing he can do to stop him.
However, seeing Lin Wanli now, she still didn't see the mystery of this formation, let alone how Lin Wanli would die.
"Qingtong, what's going on with this formation?" Gu Qingxi had no interest in spending any more time with Lin Wanli. She concentrated her consciousness on the gate and gathered energy to transmit the message.
"It's very simple. You only need to recite the incantation to open this formation." A cheerful child's voice sounded in my mind, and I felt eager to try it out and look forward to it.
"Can it be opened by chanting a spell?" Gu Qingxi was stunned. She had never heard of such a strange formation in the world of cultivation.
Even if the formation formed by music repair can only be opened by a specific sound or melody at most, the essence of the formation has not changed. How can there be a formation that is completely opened by spells?
"Yes, I heard about this formation from that very interesting world. It is completely different from the formation here. It can only be opened with a special spell." Qingtong explained.
At the end, he added with regret: "Originally, I wanted to go look for it and see what that formation looked like, but I didn't have time. I could only follow what I heard and imagine how to set one up, and I didn't know the spell. If it works, Qing Xi, please give it a try."
"What spell?" Hearing what she said, Gu Qingxi also became curious.
"Open sesame." Qingtong replied.
"..." Several black lines suddenly stood up on Gu Qingxi's forehead, and he finally guessed where the interesting place Qing Tong mentioned was.
Only in that place could there be such a weird spell and such a weird formation.
However, aren’t those just made up in fairy tales?
Children will be children after all, and they love fairy tales like this.
Fortunately, she didn't have time to look for it, otherwise she wouldn't have found it even if she looked for it for ten thousand years.
Oh, by the way, Qingtong knows what licking a dog means, and she must have learned it from that place.
"Read it, read it, Qingxi, read it quickly." Seeing that Gu Qingxi didn't speak, Qing Tong urged him excitedly.
"Okay, let me give it a try." Gu Qingxi felt as if she was back in kindergarten, playing games with a group of children in the "good times".
Holding back the deep sense of shame in her heart, Gu Qingxi opened her lips lightly: "Open sesame."
After reciting the incantation, the door remained motionless.
Of course it didn't move at all. It was originally a fairy tale to entertain children. It would be strange for the spell to be effective.
"It's strange, why is it useless at all?" Qingtong's confused voice sounded in his mind.
"Qingtong, the fairy tale you heard about is fake." Gu Qingxi explained patiently.
