Ouyang Liuyun's words made the young monk Liaofan and Zheng Furong even more confused.
Could it be that holes are not just holes, but have a deeper meaning?
"The young monk is stupid, I hope the two donors will give me some advice."
The young monk Liao Fan has no scruples. If he doesn't understand something, he will ask immediately and he will never take it seriously.
What smart people like most is people like Liao Fan. Otherwise, they would be like Zheng Furong, who clearly doesn't understand anything but still holds back and doesn't ask. How can a smart person show his extraordinary qualities?
Wei Junxian smiled slightly and signaled to Ouyang Liuyun that it was your turn to perform.
Wei Junxian came up with the solution. If Wei Junxian were to answer the question, he would be the one to take all the limelight. As fellow disciples, this is obviously not very kind.
Ouyang Liuyun did not delay. He also put his fingers together and shot out a blast of aura from his fingertips to connect the seven holes on the ground in order.
"How about it, little monk, you should be able to see some clues from this."
"Um...could it be the Big Dipper? Is it heading in the direction where the handle of the spoon is pointing? It's late autumn now, and the handle of the spoon should be facing south. But if you can't tell the east or west in this ruins, how can you be sure which way is south? "
Ouyang Liuyun listened and stroked his forehead.
"It's all nonsense."
Looking at Zheng Furong's pursed lips, showing no intention of expressing her opinion, Ouyang Liuyun simply stopped being mysterious and explained.
"You see, the seven holes pointed out by Brother Wei are connected in order to form an arc. We are in the outer area of the ruins at the moment, which means that these seven places where we encountered the strange beasts are also along the outer area. Distribution. Then you only need to extend a straight line from each location to find a point where these seven straight lines intersect with each other and are at equal distances. Although it is not yet confirmed whether this point is the center of the ruins, it at least gives us a rough idea. direction."
As he said that, Ouyang Liuyun raised his hand and pointed in a direction.
"So, we should go in that direction."
…
Bai Zizai followed the message crane for less than a quarter of an hour when he found Murong Canghai who was sitting on a big rock basking in the sun.
He glanced around a few times, but didn't see Rong Fei.
"What a grind."
After muttering something, he squeezed to lie down next to Murong Canghai, preparing for the two brothers to bask in the sun together, when he was frightened by the loud noises coming from far away and turned over.
"What's the sound? Niubi, did you hear it?"
"It sounded like a roaring beast."
Murong Canghai said uncertainly.
Bai Zizai stood up, put his hands on his eyes, and looked in the direction of the sound.
"What beast could roar so loudly?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zizai seemed to have thought of something, and his pupils suddenly dilated.
Murong Canghai's expression also changed drastically.
"Would you like... to take a look?"
Bai Zizai asked for advice.
"Um."
Murong Canghai nodded, and then added.
"I hope it's not what we thought."
The messaging crane can sense Murong Canghai's location within a certain distance, so there is no need to worry about Rong Fei not being able to find him.
After walking for about three or four miles in the direction of the beast's roar, the two found a series of huge footprints in the forest.
"Are these...cat paw prints?"
After seeing the shape of the footprints clearly, Bai Zizai blurted out.
"Have you ever seen a cat with feet as big as a washbasin?"
Murong Canghai retorted angrily.
"So the good ones don't work but the bad ones do. Aren't the ruins of strange beasts already in the world? Why does another one appear?"
Bai Zizai said with a grimace on his face.
"You ask me, I'll ask who goes."
Murong Canghai said.
"Then what should we do now? If it is really another ruins of a strange beast, I am afraid it will be more misfortune this time."
"Oops!"
Murong Canghai suddenly exclaimed.
Bai Zizai's eyes suddenly widened, and then they both blurted out at the same time.
"Rongfei."
Although every ancient ruin is extremely dangerous, the danger level of the alien beast ruins can be ranked among the top three.
Rong Fei had no experience exploring ruins at all, and his own cultivation was the worst among the three. If you encounter a powerful alien beast, your chances of survival can be said to be extremely slim.
The two of them were anxious and followed the footprints of the strange beast to look for Rong Fei.
I prayed in my heart that this guy would not be so unlucky as to be killed by a beast.
Not far away, the two found another series of chicken claw-shaped footprints on the ground, which were as huge as the previous cat paw prints.
Then various strange footprints appeared, and their faces became more and more ugly, and their moods became heavier and heavier.
When more than a dozen kinds of footprints were discovered at one location, Bai Zizai finally couldn't help it anymore.
"Niubi, what should I do?"
"What do you mean?"
"Looking at the situation, the third brother is probably in danger. If we continue to search, we may follow in his footsteps."
"What exactly do you want to express? Can't you beat around the bush?"
Murong Canghai looked a little impatient.
"A joke. Rong Fei is my sworn brother, what can I say."
Bai Zizai said.
"Are we not sworn brothers? If you can't say it, I can say it."
"You are the eldest brother. It's time to make an idea at this time. Should you abandon your car to protect the handsome man and cut off your wrists as a strong man, or should you go against the wishes of your third brother and continue to risk your life?"
"Hmph! Being able to express greed for life, fear of death, and lack of loyalty in such a fresh and refined way is indeed your Bai Wuchang style."
Murong Canghai sneered.
"Then you mean to keep looking, but don't blame me for not reminding you. Rong Fei's small body is probably not big enough for a strange beast to fit between his teeth. In the end, he probably won't find anything... Well, That's not right either. If you digest it quickly enough, you might be able to find a fresh... thing."
"But without Rong Fei, how can we find the artifact?"
"After all, artifacts are external objects, and your own life is fundamental."
"That's not what you said when you were in Jingyuan Houfu."
"The situation is different. At that time, you could run away if you couldn't fight, but I can't run away from strange beasts in this place. What's more..."
Bai Zizai said, pointing to a thick feather that fell in the grass not far away.
"There are also strange beasts with wings."
"After all that, what do you want?"
"You are the eldest brother, so you casually suggested not to look for me anymore, and I casually agreed. This way we don't have to feel too guilty, right?"
"Hmph, what a trick to deceive yourself and others."
"It's already this time, is there any point in being sarcastic? If we delay for a while and the hypocrite takes over, our trip will be in vain. Stop talking nonsense and quickly take over... Hey, what does it taste like?"
Before he finished speaking, Bai Zizai suddenly twitched his nose and muttered.
"What do you smell?"
Murong Canghai said doubtfully.
"It's feminine. And... it's still very familiar and feminine."
"You're crazy for thinking about women. This is an ancient ruins, not a brothel."
"Don't make any noise!"
Bai Zizai waved his hand to signal Murong Canghai not to disturb him, then twitched his nose and followed the smell to a cave not far away.
After observing the cave entrance for a while, he confirmed that the cave was very shallow and there was no danger inside, so he bent down and got in.
"Well, that's the smell. No, there's another smell. Not long ago, there were two women in this cave. One of them had a very strange smell, but it smelled very good. The other woman's smell was very familiar. But I can’t remember where I smelled it. Hiss! This is strange. I can clearly remember the smell of women who have had sexual intercourse, so why can’t I remember this one?”
Bai Zizai muttered in distress.
Murong Canghai was too lazy to pay attention to him. He lit a ball of flame at his fingertips and squatted down to observe the ground.
"What is Niubi looking at? Hey, it's footprints. One, two, three, four, five, five kinds of footprints of different sizes, fat and thin, indicating that at least five people have come here. These three kinds of footprints are big and ugly, they must be three What a stinky man. These two footprints are small and delicate, haha, they must be two rare beauties. It’s a pity that I came a step too late and couldn’t catch a glimpse of their beauty.”
Bai Zizai also came over and analyzed after observing for a while.
"Don't forget that your sworn brother has just died tragically in a beast's mouth. At this time, you are thinking about all those obscene things. Doesn't your conscience feel painful?"
Murong Canghai said sarcastically.
"Hahaha, I'm just kidding. I felt the atmosphere was a little heavy before, so I thought of adjusting it. Good people don't live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years. Rong Fei's kind of disasters are probably not even willing to be dealt with by God, and he still has a chance to live. .”
Bai Zizai smiled.
Murong Canghai curled his lips and did not continue the topic. Instead, he pointed at three footprints on the ground that were obviously left by men.
"Do you think there is that hypocrite among these three people?"
Bai Zizai stood up after hearing this, stepped on the series of footprints that were similar in size and shape to his own, and finally stood facing the entrance of the cave.
Looking outside, he saw the grass that had been trampled by the alien beasts when they stayed.
Then Bai Zizai pretended to raise his hand and gestured towards the hole a few times, turned around and said.
"First, the hypocrite and the other four people were chased by the alien beasts and had to hide in the cave. The hypocrite covered the entrance of the cave with a fake brush, but the alien beasts were not stupid and stayed outside the cave and refused to leave. Then at this time, they were chased by the alien beasts Rong Fei passed by and attracted the strange beasts guarding outside the cave. Niubi, do you think I guessed it right? Hahaha, by the way, I learned some useful things from following Rong Fei during this period. Will I be able to survive in Jiange in the future? If you go down there, you can make a living as a headhunter or something."
"That's about it. Otherwise, there is no way to explain the trampling marks of the alien beasts outside the cave. According to the records in the sect's notes, the alien beasts have a strong sense of territory and it is basically impossible to gather together."
Murong Canghai first nodded in approval, and then asked.
"Then Mr. Bai might as well guess again, where did the hypocrite go after he left here?"
"Oops!"
Bai Ziyi said in surprise.
"Are you looking for trouble with Rong Fei? If it's a strange beast alone, Rong Fei might still be able to escape, but if there's a scheming hypocrite in the mix, wouldn't it be possible to prepare a coffin and shroud in advance?"
"Let's go and have a look. After all, we have become sworn friends, so we should just take a last look at our third brother."
After patting Bai Zizai on the shoulder, Murong Canghai said with a sad expression.
