As the saying goes, 'An inch long is an inch strong'. The long-range attack ability of the strong bow also gave Lin Sumo a headache. No matter how strong the combat power was, it was useless if it could not hit the opponent.
The frontal advance was so difficult that Lin Sumo had to think of another way.
However, if you want to enter the main formation from the 'Shengmen', there is only one way to go. Beifu Division's arrow formation is an obstacle that must be overcome.
Lin Sumo turned around and left. The Xia Kingdom's delinquents who had survived had been innocently attacked by the arrows just now, and they were all killed or injured, which saved Lin Sumo the trouble of taking action.
Lin Sumo retreated more than ten feet away and retreated to another passage, thinking about how to deal with the arrow array. Generally speaking, natural shields and armor are used to deal with bows and arrows. Thinking of this, Lin Sumo's eyes lit up.
Returning from the 'Shengmen' to the 'Shangmen', following the marks left by Lin Sumo before, he quickly found the bronze war puppet array. Lin Sumo dismantled all the war puppets, selected the appropriate materials, and knocked them Beat it and hammer it into a weird-looking full-body shield.
The shield was more than three inches thick and weighed a thousand kilograms. Even with Lin Sumo's strength, it felt extremely heavy in his hand.
In terms of strength, Lin Sumo used Mo Dao to chop with all his strength, but it only caused damage but not penetration.
Holding the copper shield in front of him, Lin Sumo thought for a moment, and then pierced the shield with twelve Mo Dao, with the tips facing outward, as if the whole body was covered with spikes, making the copper shield look even more ferocious and terrifying.
In the 'Shengmen', Beifu Division's arrow array was in a mess, and the archers were killed and wounded countless times.
Before this heavy shield, it was difficult to break through the defense even with close range shooting. Lin Sumo took advantage of the heavy shield to easily destroy the arrow array.
The Mo Dao on the heavy shield is more like a meat grinder. The Beifu Siwei in the passage will be injured if it sticks to it, and will die if it touches it!
"Pity!"
Lin Sumo smashed the heavy bronze shield into pieces and broke all the swords. It was a pity that he couldn't carry this great weapon with him. Otherwise, even if he faced the ten great masters, Lin Sumo would not be afraid!
After the 'Sheng Gate' is the main formation, which is the core position of the entire 'Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation' and the real location of the 'Tai Xuan Underground Palace'.
Entering from the passage behind the 'Sheng Gate', you walk through a sloping corridor. At the end of the corridor, there is a three-foot-high stone gate. Behind the stone gate is a huge space.
Lin Sumo looked around in the dim light. Looking up, he saw a dome of about ten feet, with jagged rocks and vaguely crawling reptiles and bats. At the foot is a ravine three feet wide, bottomless, connected by a stone beam in the middle.
On the other side of the ravine, connected to the stone beam, is a huge stone gate. The stone gate is about five feet high and more than ten feet wide. The stone gate is embossed with mountains and rivers, and is surrounded by sun, moon and stars.
At this moment, the stone door has been opened, and one of the doors is staggered inward by a foot-wide crack, which is just enough for one person to pass through.
Lin Sumo crossed the stone beam and came to the stone gate. Only then did he realize that there were dozens of corpses lying on the ground in front of the stone gate. Each corpse showed no signs of fighting before death. The fatal injuries that caused death were all on the back. On the left chest, he was killed with a sword from behind, and the blood in his body was drained and flowed into the depths of the underground palace along the grooves on the ground.
These corpses looked pale, but without exception they were calm and strange. It was more like they had been sacrificed to open the stone door.
Lin Sumo felt that the underground palace seemed to be getting weirder and weirder. He opened the stone door of the underground palace in the form of a sacrifice. The painting style of this world seemed to be starting to deviate, making Lin Sumo more and more unpredictable.
After passing through the stone gate, there is a passage more than ten meters long, and at the end of the passage, it is connected to a larger and broader space.
Lin Sumo walked out of this space, and the first thing he saw was a mountain peak more than forty or fifty meters high. On the mountain peak, there were entangled withered vines and thickets of miscellaneous trees, almost as if they were dyed in ink without any variegated color.
Not only that, on top of this mountain peak is a huge space dome. The dome is inlaid with countless luminous fluorite, arranged in the form of the sun, moon and stars, especially the fluorite that symbolizes the sun and the moon. Looking from a distance, it is about the size of a washbasin, emitting dazzling light.
All these fluorites are emitting a gloomy green light. Under the reflection of these dazzling green lights, the mountain peak looks more and more strange, gloomy and terrifying.
With the help of this pale green light, Lin Sumo took in the entire space in front of him. As far as he could see, Lin Sumo suddenly felt that the terrain of this mountain peak was somewhat familiar. When he looked carefully, he discovered that the mountain in front of him was... Isn’t the mountain peak just a shrunken Taiyi Peak?
Looking further into the distance, I can only see five hazy peaks standing behind Taiyi Peak where I can't see clearly. Isn't it the epitome of the 'Five Peaks of Taixuan'?
"A big deal, Taixuanzi moved the 'Taixuan Dan Sect' to this underground palace. He was the master of the 'Taixuan Dan Sect' during his lifetime, and he was unwilling to let go of this honor after his death!" Lin Sumo said in a low voice.
However, how did the 'Tai Xuan Dan Sect' complete such a huge project? There is no single word of record in either historical materials or legends. Recalling the previous message from Su Qiumo stating that the 'Elixir of Immortality' was a scam targeting the ten great masters, Lin Sumo felt that the whole incident was very strange. Strange.
Perhaps, the answer lies in the miniature Taiyi Six Peaks in front of you.
The Taiyi Peak in front of me has roughly the same trend as the Taiyi Peak outside. It's just that the mountain is densely covered with dead vines and is not as lively as the Taiyi Peak outside.
"Quick, the entrance to the underground palace is ahead..."
Lin Sumo was about to climb the mountain when suddenly there was a commotion behind him, followed by a loud noise.
Seeing this, Lin Sumo flashed his body without thinking and hid behind a dense withered vine. At the same time, he held his breath and concentrated his attention, completely hiding himself.
Through the gap between the withered vines, Lin Sumo looked towards the entrance. At this time, he saw a group of nearly a hundred people from the world surrounded by a man dressed as a fortune teller in black clothes walking in. He saw this fortune teller in black clothes walking in. The soldier held the compass in his hand and walked toward the mountain peak, muttering something in his mouth.
"This is where we are. We have entered the core of Taixuanzi's tomb, and the mountain in front is the key to opening the tomb!" The fortune teller in Xuanyi fiddled with the compass in his hand, and after confirming it in different directions , said.
"Master Yuan, how do you say this?"
Beside Xuanyi Xiangshi, a middle-aged man with good manners asked after hearing this.
This man seemed to be the leader of the group. As soon as he opened his mouth, the noisy voice suddenly disappeared.
The fortune teller surnamed Yuan responded: "Master Qin, as we can see, this place completely replicates the topography of the Taiyi Mountains, and the topography is exactly the same as the outside world. When Taixuanzi chose the Taiyi Mountains to establish his sect, he was interested in Taiyi Mountains. The general Feng Shui trend of the Yi Mountain Range, in my lineage, calls this terrain the 'Liuhe Potential'!"
Swordmaster Qin asked in surprise: "Master Yuan, what is 'Liuhe Shi'?"
The physiognomist surnamed Yuan said: "The fortune book of our school's "Secret Technique of Seeking Dragons" says: Liuhe refers to the four directions above and below. The 'Liuhe Shi' is the general trend of Feng Shui that gathers the energy of heaven and earth, dragon veins, and spirits within Liuhe. This The general trend is formed naturally and is a unique Feng Shui topography. Once the trend is established, the energy of all the spirits in the world can be gathered for one's own use. This energy of spirits can be as small as a person's luck or as large as a country's national destiny. You can devour them all, use them to cultivate your character and establish a sect that will last for a hundred generations, and use it to build a country that will last forever!"
Speaking of this, the fortune teller surnamed Yuan raised his head and looked into the distance, and continued: "This city of Luoyang has been visited by the emperor since ancient times. It has been the capital of emperors since Taikang, the king of Xia, and then there were Shang, Zhou, and Han. The rest of the dynasties all established their kingdoms and their capitals here. Over the past thousands of years, the spirit of the emperor gathered together and the destiny of the country was condensed, which is extremely strong!"
Sword Master Qin and others were dumbfounded when they heard this, and asked in shock: "Then Tai Xuanzi established a sect in the Taiyi Mountains. Could it be that he wanted to use the Feng Shui 'Liuhe Shi' of the Taiyi Mountains to absorb the spirit of the emperor of Luoyang City and the national destiny of the past dynasties?"
"In this way, in the more than a hundred years since the founding of the 'Tai Xuan Dan Sect', the Central Plains dynasties changed four or five like a revolving lantern, and each of them had its capital in Luoyang and fell apart within thirty or forty years. Is it related to the 'Tai Xuan Dan Sect' absorbing the luck of the dynasty?"
The warlock surnamed Yuan sneered: "Otherwise? Why do you think Tai Xuanzi established a sect here?"
Sword Master Qin and others were frightened again when they heard this. They all lamented that Tai Xuanzi was so bold. However, another question immediately arose in his mind, saying: "Master Yuan, why did the 'Tai Xuan Sect' only exist for six or seven hundred years?" Is it going to decline? Is it possible that it will be counterattacked by the general trend?"
The physiognomist surnamed Yuan seemed confident, smiled slightly, and said: "If you think that Tai Xuanzi swallowed up the fortune of the dynasty with Liuhe's general trend just to continue the existence of the 'Tai Xuan Dan Sect', then you are too underestimated by Tai Xuanzi. !”
"With the luck blessings of more than ten generations of dynasties, although the 'Tai Xuan Dazong' will not decline for a hundred generations, it will be passed down for one or two thousand years. The reason why the 'Tai Xuan Dan Sect' was exhausted in six hundred years is due to human effort, and It has something to do with the 'Liuhe Shi' in front of us."
"Everything in the heaven and earth has yin and yang. The 'Liuhe Potential' is the 'Yang' potency above the mountains and rivers, and it is the 'Yin' potency below the Nine Netherlands. The 'Liuhe Potential' in front of you is arranged several times underground in the Taiyi Mountains. Baizhang is formed by attracting the evil energy of the earth in response to its "yin" potential. What it gathers and swallows is not the aura of the emperor in the world and the destiny of a country, but the "Liuhe potential" of Feng Shui on the ground. Yang's potential is the energy of the earth condensed by the emperor's energy and the dynasty's destiny!"
Sword Master Qin seemed to understand, but also seemed to be more confused, and asked: "Master Yuan means that the reason why the 'Tai Xuan Dan Sect' declined and perished so quickly was because the 'Yin' force of the 'Liuhe Force' swallowed up the outside world." The earthly Yuanling with the 'Liuhe potential' and 'Yang' potential, what is the purpose of Tai Xuanzi setting up such a big situation?"
The fortune teller surnamed Yuan hesitated when he heard the words, and finally sighed: "The thousand-year plan, the cause and effect must be not small. If you want to find out the truth of such a huge situation laid out by Tai Xuanzi, you only need to break the Feng Shui Liuhe situation in front of you. ', you can know..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard Qin Sword Master turning around and shouting: "Who is sneaking around here?" After saying that, he unsheathed the long sword in his hand, shot out a sword light that soared into the sky, and slashed behind him.
