Following Wu Ying's signal, Lu Feng successfully reached the other side. After verifying the rules of the Yin Qi traps in Yuankou, he turned back and forth to pick up Shao Yang and others one by one.
"Xiao Xiang'er~" As soon as Qian Xin and Shao Yue stepped onto the other side, they rushed towards Ning Xiang excitedly, but were avoided by the latter.
Ning Xiang's strange behavior also immediately aroused the alarm of the two of them. After sensing Ning Xiang's physical condition, Qian Xin and Shao Yue's already wet and red eyes instantly became moist.
Although they had heard about Ning Xiang's condition from Lu Feng before, they still couldn't help but feel distressed when they personally felt such a bad physical condition.
Ning Xiang's body at this moment was like a poisonous jar, she could lose control and die at any time!
The joy of reunion on the faces of Shao Yang and Man Zhongli also froze. Man Zhongli was so uncomfortable that he even choked on his words, and his heart was filled with self-blame for not being able to protect Ning Xiang.
Wu Ying's attention at the moment was on Huo Qiu, who was unconscious on the ground beside him. After kicking him twice as if to vent his anger, he sneered: "This kid was dragged to death when he was in the Pingling Sect, and he never gave me a bad look. Now, It's such a relief to end up in such a situation, it's so satisfying!" Lu Feng stopped Wu Ying who was about to kick. Huo Qiu's life was still useful to him, but he couldn't be kicked to death.
Then he took out the antique cowhide map that Huo Qiu had taken out from his arms and said seriously, "Brother Wu, can you recognize the marks on it?" From this antique map, Lu Feng could only vaguely make out some outlines and terrain, following the complex contours. The various symbols that are constantly marked on the lines are completely incomprehensible.
Wu Ying took the map and looked up curiously. With just one glance, the carelessness in his eyes froze and turned serious.
"This is the construction drawing of the ancient tomb!" Wu Ying's voice of surprise was a bit shocked, and the hand holding the drawing trembled slightly, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
A flash of surprise flashed in Lu Feng's eyes. He still knew the difference between topographic maps and construction drawings. The former usually only showed the various passages, exits and some points that need attention in the tomb, while the latter covered everything in the tomb. , whether it is a clear or dark path, or various dangerous layouts, will be recorded one by one, and even some hidden treasure houses will also leave traces.
But on the construction drawing in front of me, there is clearly not even a single word on it. There are just some weird symbols. People who are not familiar with this will not be able to see much useful information at all.
Take the simplest but most frequently appearing pattern of 'a long line plus a diamond'. It covers almost every path, but I don't understand what it means at all.
In addition, there are 'five overlapping elliptical circles', 'a combination of thick long lines and semicircles', and 'two interlocking inverted triangles'... Wu Ying looked at the confusion on Lu Feng's face and explained aloud: " These are some special marks that are popular in our two-door circle of heavy thieves. Generally, a long line combined with a diamond pattern indicates that there is danger here. The degree of danger will depend on the thickness of the long line and the number of signs attached with the diamond pattern. The thicker the long line, the greater the danger. The more rhombuses there are, the greater the danger.”
"The five overlapping elliptical circles usually refer to places such as money houses and treasure houses, but the oval circles marked on this picture are mostly hollow and not blackened, which means that although there is a treasure house, it contains It's not rich, it just serves the purpose of hiding from others, it's a storehouse of doubts." Shao Yang interrupted when he heard this: "No, it shouldn't be, the treasure house surnamed Huo found earlier contained a lot of cultivation resources. If it were replaced by a source stone, it would be worth at least one hundred and eighty yuan of high-grade source stone." Wu Ying shook his head, his face became a little more serious,
"Because of this, this tomb is even more extraordinary!"
"The layout used to serve as a treasury of doubts and send away tomb robbers is already so rich, so its real treasure trove..." It was hard for Wu Ying to imagine.
Lu Feng asked aloud: "From this drawing, can we see the way out? Or whose tomb is this?" Compared with the treasure house, he seemed to be more interested in the identity of the owner of the tomb.
Wu Ying shook his head, pointed to a sign on the drawing marked with 'enlarged circular pattern within a rectangle', and said: "I'm afraid you won't know the details about this tomb until you have to go to the main tomb chamber." Finally, Wu Ying Then he pointed to the symbol of 'thick long line plus semicircle' on the drawing, and said happily: "You were right to knock this boy named Huo out. There is a dark path on the path you just took. If he finds it, If you have the opportunity to escape, follow the dark path marked on the drawing to escape. If you want to catch him again, it will be difficult. He might even retaliate and trigger the restrictions in this tomb realm one by one." Shao Yang listened, His face suddenly froze. He had seen his master knock out Huo Qiu before, and he thought he was being too cautious. Although several of them were injured, they were more than enough to deal with Huo Qiu in this state. But after hearing Wu Ying's words Finally, I couldn't help but feel scared.
On the road of cultivation, one careless move can lead to one's life being lost. In the future, it is better to learn more and be more cautious and careful.
Lu Feng glanced at the half-dead Huo Qiu and asked further: "Brother Wu, do you know about the term 'Contract Gu'?"
"Contract Gu?" Wu Ying was stunned and turned to look at Huo Qiu on the ground.
"Does this kid still have that thing in his body?" He said, leaning forward and pointing his sword finger at Huo Qiu's forehead.
As the spiritual energy submerged, the sword finger slowly moved down to the heart, and finally stopped at the belly of the pill.
"Cultivation of contract Gu is not easy. It usually needs to be based on the essence and blood of both parties, supplemented by various rare medicinal materials. Its survival rate is extremely low, and it is often difficult to save even one out of ten;"
"The successfully cultivated ordinary contract Gu will live in the heart and be connected to the life of the person being contracted. If the body dies, the contract will be completed;"
"High-grade contract Gu will be integrated into the belly of the pill, and the soul pills will be connected to each other. Once this type of contract Gu is planted, even if the person who is contracted dies, the life soul will never be able to escape control."
"Even the scene before death can be vaguely transmitted back through the induction between the souls." Lu Feng watched Wu Yingtan put his hand on Huo Qiu's belly, and said in surprise: "The seeds planted in his body Is it actually a high-level Contract Gu?" Wu Ying shook her head in response,
"I haven't noticed too much soul consciousness fluctuations from that gadget. It should not have reached the high-grade level. With the techniques of practicing Gu and the methods of cultivating high-grade soul Gu passed down today, it has also been lost. Huo Yuanqiu It should be unknown.”
"The Contract Gu in Huo Qiu's body is just an ordinary flesh Gu. The reason why he can hide in the soul pill is probably because he took the initiative to accept it and gave it a load." Lu Feng continued to ask: "Then he takes the initiative to accept something like this. Will the Contract Gu send out a specific response at the moment of his death?" Wu Ying thought for a while and said uncertainly: "It's hard to say, but cultivating the Contract Gu itself is not easy, after all, he has eaten so many spiritual treasure medicinal materials. , there is a strong energy in his body. If he has enough energy before his death, he may be able to stimulate this energy to send a message to the contract owner through his soul consciousness." At this point, Huo Qiu suddenly frowned slightly, faintly Signs of waking up.
Wu Ying's finger gently caused him to fall into coma again.
"It's safer to knock this guy out. Although you have banned his strength, you can't guarantee that he will be defeated to death. He will use the energy in the contract Gu to make a final soul consciousness sneak attack after his death." Shao Yang heard this. After saying this, the fear in his heart could not help but resurface. Originally, he just thought that the accident might happen, but after learning that he could use the power of contract Gu to fight back before death, he was sure that if Huo Qiu had not fainted, he would have been in Yuankou earlier. I'm afraid there will be unpredictable consequences.
Man Zhongli and others were listening, with lingering fears on their faces, and their hearts were a little more cautious and a little less inert.
Knocking Huo Qiu unconscious was just a matter of raising his hand, but sometimes he was just so lazy that he would make immeasurable mistakes.
When Wu Ying saw that Lu Feng intended to keep Huo Qiu alive and asked about the contract Gu, he vaguely anticipated something in his heart.
He asked solemnly: "But you want to lure that old guy Huo Yuanqiu here?" Lu Feng did not shy away and nodded bluntly.
Wu Ying said hesitantly: "That old guy has always been cunning and cautious, and I'm afraid he won't be fooled easily."
"Moreover, the dangers here are not over yet. Even if you have the strength to deal with him, there is no guarantee that he will not have any means to save his life. Instead, he will use the mechanisms here to harm you." Lu Feng showed hesitation. This is a point that must be considered. Don't fail to dig a hole and end up being buried.
But thinking about the heavy Yin Qi in this place... I can completely use the power of the formation without having to do it myself.
By then, even if Huo Yuanqiu cannot be killed, if he is introduced, he will definitely be able to make him shed his skin. Even if it doesn't work, it can be contained here to solve the crisis of Bottle Spirit Sect.
Once the trustworthy Rong Wenxuan and other key members of the older generation around Sikong Tong are out of trouble, they will definitely be able to regain power.
By then, it would be good if Huo Yuanqiu died, but if he were still alive, he could scare the monkeys and help Sikong Tong establish his prestige and secure his position as head of the family.
However, how to successfully attract it is a problem. Huo Qiu's life alone may not be enough to impress Huo Yuanqiu.
While Lu Feng was thinking, he temporarily put aside the idea of dealing with Huo Yuanqiu and walked towards the main tomb chamber.
Right now, the key is to find out the specific situation of this tomb and find a way out to treat Ning Xiang. Lu Feng can still help resist the yin energy seeping into Man Zhongli and Shao Yue's bodies, and it is only a matter of time before they are completely eliminated. The injuries of Shao Yang and Qian Xin, through elixirs and self-conditioning, will not damage their foundation.
But Ning Xiang's body was filled with toxins, but she couldn't delay it any longer. She needed to find Ye Fan as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures.
Lu Feng believed Ning Xiang's words at first, claiming that with the secret technique taught by Ye Fan, he could control the balance of toxins in the body, and he would be fine for the time being. After he got used to it, he would slowly remove it with medicine, but after being exposed to it, he felt her aura healed. She looked weak and avoided her eyes intentionally or unintentionally when asking... Lu Feng knew clearly that Ning Xiang must have lied!
Her real condition is probably worse than expected.
