Walking along the passage, the flames on the walls on both sides were like two parallel lines, illuminating the passage like daylight.
Cheng Ling followed step by step, his consciousness always paying attention to the situation in the passage. After walking like this for two hours, another wall appeared in front of me, which was exactly the same as the one in the previous passage.
Ye Zhining sighed in her heart and said, "Junior Brother Cheng, this is another dead end, what should we do?"
Cheng Ling pondered for a while and said, "When we go back and forth, look around."
"Didn't I see everything along the way just now? I didn't find anything except the bare stone walls on both sides. It's really strange why the monks of Qianji Sect set up these passages. It makes no sense at all. Could it be that something happened that year? There were treasures originally, but now they have taken them away?"
"Probably not. According to my guess, the passage here does not look like a place where treasures are stored. Maybe we are just on the way to the treasure hiding place."
"But you have also seen that after walking through two passages in a row, there is no entrance or exit. This place is too mysterious. I don't even know if I can leave now."
Cheng Ling said calmly: "Don't be impatient. Let's go back and take a look first."
Ye Zhining had no choice but to follow him back along the original path. After walking for about an hour, Cheng Ling stopped at the middle of the passage. He gently stretched out his right palm and patted the stone wall in front of him. The stone wall in front of him immediately rotated again, revealing a dark hole as well.
Ye Zhining opened her mouth wide and asked in confusion: "Have you discovered it a long time ago?"
"No, it's just that the stone wall here is the same as before, with slightly different colors on both sides. I just silently remembered that if there is still no access to the passage, maybe a new entrance can be found here. Come on, Senior Sister Ye, let's go in and take a look look!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand.
Ye Zhining hesitated for a moment, then put it into his warm palm.
Cheng Ling pulled him into the cave without hesitation. The same feeling came, the surroundings were still dark and the feet were still floating. He closed his eyes, completely ignoring the darkness in front of him, and just moved forward based on his feeling.
After a moment, I felt my feet touch the ground before opening my eyes.
Ye Zhining opened her eyes and took a look, and said depressedly again: "Junior brother Cheng, there is another passage. What do the people of Qianji Sect think, and why do they set up so many passages."
Cheng Ling did not answer, but still took out the glazed fire and shot it. The flames on the stone wall were ignited again and spread to the left and right sides. After hesitating for a moment, he first chose to walk to the left.
Ye Zhining was confused, but she didn't dare to disturb his train of thought, so she could only follow slowly.
An hour later, the two reached the end of the passage and saw only a wall. Cheng Ling immediately turned around and walked back at an extremely fast speed. After another hour, he saw a stone wall again.
Seeing him moving back and forth, Ye Zhining couldn't help but ask: "Junior Brother Cheng, what should we do now?"
Cheng Ling's eyes flashed with dazzling light, and he said decisively: "If my prediction is correct, these passages are set up to test the disciples to decipher the maze. Sister Ye, look, the first passage is disconnected in the middle, and the second and third passages are The three are connected together.”
"This method is called a hexagram in the Book of Changes. The first channel is the yin line, and the last two channels are the yang line.
, continuing in the same order, Yin Yao, Yang Yao, Yang Yao, these six Yin and Yang Yao form a hexagram. In addition, we enter from the southeast, this place should be the exchange position. "
As he spoke, he carved it out on the ground again and again, which was exactly the orientation map of the sixty-four innate hexagrams.
Ye Zhining was confused when she heard this, and said with a wry smile: "Sorry, Junior Brother Cheng, I don't know anything about the Book of Changes. It's up to you to decide how to proceed!"
Cheng Ling was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as Senior Sister follows me closely, I will definitely be able to get out of here."
After saying that, he held Ye Zhining's hand and continued to the center of the passage, finding an entrance again. In this way, as expected, there were still three passages behind them. After passing through them continuously, the two came to a gate.
Cheng Ling looked up and down the stone door and saw many strange patterns carved on it. Some looked like gourds, some looked like a hexagram, some looked like a giant hammer, and some had many winding lines. , forming a mysterious pattern that looks somewhat similar to the pattern in front of the gate of Thousand Machines Sect.
After observing for a long time, I didn't find anything special. Now he stretched out his palms and slapped the door hard. But he didn't expect that the door was very hard, and he didn't know what kind of material it was made of. The force of the shock forced him to retreat sharply, and his arms were numb.
Ye Zhining was startled and asked hurriedly: "Junior brother Cheng, how are you?"
Cheng Ling moved his numb arms and said, "It doesn't matter. It seems that the door here is different from the one on the screen wall. It is not opened by rotating. Let me think about it for a moment."
Ye Zhining nodded and stood aside obediently. At this point, she didn't even react. Unknowingly, the situation where she was originally in the dominant position was slowly changing, completely according to Cheng Ling's wishes.
After more than two hours of this, Cheng Ling couldn't think of a way. He took a step forward, reached out his hands in front of the stone door, and gently touched the lines on the door. After a while, he felt two bumps in the middle of the door, and he pressed them without hesitation.
"Click! Click!"
There was a dull sound, and the door finally opened slowly. Cheng Ling grabbed Ye Zhining again and rushed in instantly.
I thought it would be the same illusory space as before. Unexpectedly, as soon as I rushed into the door, I found that there was a bright light in front of me, which seemed to be an exit. At this moment, the door behind him automatically closed again.
The two of them had no time to pay attention and rushed towards the bright light. In less than a quarter of an hour, I finally saw the scene ahead clearly.
In front of them was a square inner chamber, and they had reached the edge of the inner chamber. There was another wall in front of the two of them, but there were more than a dozen light gates on the wall. Each light gate was about ten feet high, and there was a pattern carved on top of each light gate.
I walked forward and looked carefully. The patterns were different. Some were the gourds, hammers, Bagua, long swords, long knives, and Yin-Yang Tai Chi that I had seen outside the gate before. Some were a green tree, a ghost, and a Humanoid objects, etc.
Cheng Ling was confused and couldn't figure out what those patterns represented for a while. After a moment of silence, he pulled Ye Zhining towards the light door with the gourd carved on it.
After entering, it feels like entering an illusory space. There is only one tower standing in the sky in the space
The archway is very large and beautifully carved, with five pill-sized holes revealed at the top. If you look closely at the vacant space below the hollow, you will see the two characters "Danmen" written on it.
Just when I was feeling confused, a picture appeared in the center of the archway. On the screen, there is a monk in gray and white robes facing an alchemy furnace, continuously making elixirs one after another, as if he is refining elixirs.
After waiting for a moment, the elixir seemed to be refined. The monk in the robe pulled out five elixirs with his right hand and threw them away. The five elixirs slowly rose up and were finally embedded in the five holes on the archway.
The next moment, the image changed again, and a black entrance appeared below the archway. The robed monk stopped for a moment and stepped inside. At this point, the image gradually dissipated until it returned to its original state!
"Alchemy Gate? Could this be the place where Qianji Sect tests the alchemy method?" Cheng Ling asked doubtfully.
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of herbal materials suddenly appeared in front of the archway. He took a closer look and found that any combination of these materials could be used to refine elixirs used in the Yin and Yang realm. Without any further hesitation, he selected several types of elixirs, took them out of the elixir furnace and started refining them.
The elixir he wants to refine is the Gold Returning Pill. He has refined this elixir many times, and he is extremely familiar with it. It only took less than a quarter of an hour to complete the refining of a furnace of Jinhuan Dan, resulting in five pills. Before he could make any move, the five elixirs automatically levitated, gradually flew upwards, and were finally embedded in the holes above the archway.
The five holes shone brightly, and then, another picture appeared below the archway. The monk in the picture wearing gray and white robes is also refining the Gold Return Pill like Cheng Ling.
His refining method is similar to Cheng Ling's, but some subtle adjustments have been made. Cheng Ling looked at it intently and continued to deduce it in his mind. He didn't suddenly wake up until the elixir was refined.
The Taoist monk's adjusted technique made the elixir of better quality and felt more suitable for the way of heaven. Every detail felt impeccable. It was actually a complete improvement of Cheng Ling's alchemy technique.
He was ecstatic in his heart. He had been refining alchemy according to the book all along. He just found the elixir recipe and thought about it on his own according to the alchemy techniques recorded in the recipe. No one had ever taught him. Until I met Wu Qingyang and benefited a lot from his manuscripts. I made some adjustments to the alchemy techniques, and the quality of the alchemy was also much faster.
Unexpectedly, in the eyes of the monks in Taoist robes, there are still some shortcomings. What's even more valuable is that the other party actually taught his own shortcomings through words and deeds, and made improvements to make them more suitable for elixir refining.
From this point of view, this is the inheritance place of Qianji Sect, and each pattern represents a sect inheritance. The gourd represents elixirs, and the Bagua must represent formations, so does the yin-yang fish pattern represent magic?
What made him even more excited was that he also saw a long sword in it. According to this assumption, there is also a kendo inheritance among these inheritances? This was so unbelievable that he secretly vowed to find a way to see what the sword pattern showed!
But now in this illusory space, I don't know how to leave. As shown in the previous picture, as long as the elixir is refined, a passage will be opened below the archway for people to enter, but why is there no passage showing up even after refining the elixir?
Not to mention that this secret realm of inheritance has malfunctioned because no one has used it for too long!
