Chang Yan took a closer look and saw the stars gathering in the mirror, vaguely condensing three words.
"Three horizontal and one vertical, this is the character "王"? What are the next two characters?"
Chang Yan murmured to himself, and then thought of something. His eyes fell on the few surviving casual cultivators at the back of the team, "Does any of you have the surname Wang?"
The casual cultivators looked at each other and shook their heads.
Wang Chuxiao looked at the Sky Monitoring Mirror with a slightly surprised expression. Although the handwriting on the mirror was blurry, he could still recognize it at a glance as his own name.
Without waiting for Chang Yan to continue thinking, he said directly: "If I'm not mistaken, the point on the mirror is exactly below."
Chang Yan was shocked at first when he heard this, then quickly figured it out and quickly explained:
"That's right! It's difficult to distinguish north from south in this sea, and we can only use people to represent the direction. The meaning of the Sky Monitoring Mirror is for us to swim in the direction of Senior Wang from the position of the Sky Monitoring Mirror."
After saying that, he took the lead and swam to Wang Chuxiao and said loudly: "It's not too late, let's hurry up and get out early!"
Everyone responded and followed closely.
…
At the same time, inside Gu Lin.
Yuan Jing followed Xiang Shu's instructions and used her magical power every five miles or so to perfect the distribution of the earth's veins.
There are many forks in the earth's veins, which are written on the jade slips, like a web with no rules and extremely complex.
However, Xiang Shu could accurately find the safest passage every time. Along the way, they didn't even encounter a single snow corpse.
Yuan Jing was amazed by such a magical method more than once. She became more convinced of Xiang Shu and obeyed Xiang Shu's orders.
I'm afraid she will do anything Xiang Shu asks her to do now except die.
The two worked together and made rapid progress. In just half a day, they jumped out of the ancient forest and came to a black cliff.
The cliff is as smooth as a mirror, towering into the clouds, extending to the left and right, with no end in sight.
Xiang Shu stopped at the edge of the ancient forest, made a secret with his right hand, threw out a piece of paper and walked to the cliff. Seeing that there was no danger, he brought Yuan Jing closer.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them approached, flowers suddenly flashed on the black cliff, revealing three doors.
Yuan Jing's face showed surprise: "Sister Li, it seems that this is the exit."
Xiang Shu put away the paper figurine, but when he heard Yuan Jing's words, his face was not happy at all. He just said: "Use your magical power again."
Yuan Jing had just used her magical power in the forest not long ago, but after hearing Xiang Shen's instructions, she still obeyed without saying a word.
She squeezed her hands skillfully and wiped her eyes, then opened them to look at the ground under the cliff.
This sight made her expression suddenly change, and she exclaimed: "Sister Li, the earth veins have disappeared! I clearly saw the earth veins here in the forest, why are they missing?"
When Xiang Shu heard this, his expression remained unchanged. He reached out and touched the storage ring, took out a blank jade slip and handed it to Yuan Jing: "Draw it."
Yuan Jing understood Xiang Shu's meaning and quickly took the jade slip and started carving it.
She first copied the last piece of earth vein she saw onto the jade slip, then drew a horizontal line on one-third of it and handed it to Xiang Shu.
"Sister, look, what I see now is only one third of the earth veins. The remaining earth veins seem to be blocked by this black cliff."
Xiang Shen nodded slightly, put away the jade slips, looked at the three doors in front of him, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Jingjing, which one of these three doors do you think is real?"
Yuan Jing was stunned for a moment, then scratched her head, walked to the three doors, and looked at it carefully.
After a moment, she suddenly felt happy, waving to Xiang Shen and saying, "Sister Li, come here and take a look. This fan must be real."
Xiang Shu Yiyan approached and followed what Yuan Jing pointed at, and saw an extremely inconspicuous mark beside a door in the middle.
If it is translated in snake and insect language, it seems to be the word "生".
Life...way to live?
Xiang Shu frowned slightly.
This was inconsistent with her guess.
When Zou Lian had a fierce battle with the ancient forest snow corpses, she saw that those snow corpses had snake and insect inscriptions on them, and they should have been the products of the tomb of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor.
Even without the influence of illusion, it would definitely be dangerous for ordinary people to encounter it.
Is it really that easy to survive in such a dangerous place?
Yuan Jing saw that Xiang Shu was silent for a long time, so she just pretended that she didn't recognize the mark, and couldn't help but add: "This mark is very similar to a part of the snake and insect script prohibition."
"Forbidden rune?"
Xiang Shen quickly came back to his senses, looked at the mark on the door again, and then walked to the other two doors to observe, and finally a smile appeared on his face.
So that's it.
She was very familiar with the Snake and Insect scripts and the Snake and Insect script restrictions. When she saw the mark, she subconsciously thought of handwriting instead of runes.
But Yuan Jing is different. She knows very few snake and insect scripts. She has learned forbidden runes since elementary school. Therefore, when she saw the mark, she immediately thought of forbidden runes, not words.
This almost caused her to miss an important clue.
In this way, all guesses can be connected.
Yuan Jing was standing by, watching Xiang Shu fumble on the other door. She couldn't help but be confused, and couldn't help but ask: "Sister Li, did I say something wrong? Is the real door yours?"
"no."
Xiang Shen groped around and said without raising his head: "In ancient times, there was a saying that spiritual veins nourish people. Earth veins always represent vitality, and in this emperor's tomb, they even represent the path to life."
We have not encountered any danger along the way, which is the best proof.
You just said that you can't see any earth veins on the way forward. What does this mean? "
Yuan Jing understood and felt her scalp numb, "Sister, you mean... these three doors are all fake?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a muffled sound suddenly came from Xiang Shu's side.
Yuan Jing took a closer look and discovered that Xiang Shu had pulled off a lump of black mud from somewhere on the door.
The mud left the door and immediately seemed to be alive. It quickly leaked from the cracks of Xiang Yu's fingers, condensed into an insect, and was about to crawl away.
Xiang Shu's expression did not change when he saw this, he quickly scooped up the mud, stood up, took three steps and two steps at a time, and slapped the mud on the door in front of Yuan Jing.
The mud clinging to the door surface immediately calmed down and slowly swam to the bottom of the word "生". After a slight change, it became fixed.
He threw away the broken runes in his palm, turned to look at the shocked Yuan Jing, and smiled slightly, "Does it look more like the forbidden runes you saw?"
Yuan Jing came back to her senses and blurted out: "This is the "Rui Talisman", one of the nine mother talismans!"
After saying that, there was no need to say anything to Shu. She immediately ran to the other door and soon found a ball of black mud attached to the door. She picked it off and quickly took it to the middle door to pat it.
The last "fuck" character was partially filled in, and the complete rui character text immediately detached from the door, slowly lifted into the sky, and shone brightly.
Under the illumination of this light, Yuan Jing suddenly felt that her energy and blood were unstable, as if the blood all over her body was about to boil, leaving her physical body and rising into the sky following the Rui characters.
She was in a panic and just when she didn't know what to do, she heard Xiang Shen's voice as calm as water.
"The eight mother talismans of the snake and insect script are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. Which talisman should be used to solve the problem at this time?"
Yuan Jing's heart quickly calmed down as she heard this sound as clear as a spring. She formed a seal with her hands and formed the word "Zhen" between her fingers.
As soon as the word "Zhen" came out and offset with "Rui", the energy and blood immediately dropped, and the boiling and burning feeling disappeared.
Yuan Jing breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to see Xiang Shu looking at her with admiration. She felt a little embarrassed, and then she became suspicious again and couldn't help but ask: "Sister Li, why are you not affected?"
Xiang Shen smiled slightly, "I exercise regularly, and my energy and blood are more stable than ordinary monks."
"oh……"
Yuan Jing responded, but secretly couldn't help but roll her eyes.
In the world of cultivation, even a three-year-old child might not believe Sister Li's words.
What kind of exercise can make the physical body's Qi and blood so stable that even the restrictions are ineffective?
If there really was such an exercise method, the restrictions would have been eliminated long ago. How could it still become a noble method that everyone wants to learn?
It's just human nature for a monk to hide his trump cards. She's not stupid, so she won't ask the question.
But then again, when did Sister Li become so familiar with their family's restrictions?
Could it be that after translating that ancient book, Sister Li also learned the prohibition of snake and insect scripts?
While Yuan Jing was thinking wildly, the word "Zhen" she condensed quickly rose into the sky, merged with the word "Rui", turned into a ball of white light, and disappeared into the door.
Then, after hearing a slight clicking sound, the door opened on its own, revealing a deep passage.
When Yuan Jing saw the passage, she stopped thinking about it and said with surprise and joy: "This time we can really go out!"
Xiang Shen smiled slightly, but did not move. Instead, he sacrificed a paper figure again and sent it into the passage.
After waiting for a while, the paper man came back unharmed, and then she pulled Yuan Jing into the passage together.
The view inside the passage is dim, and it looks deep, but is actually extremely short.
Yuan Jing's cultivation level was too low. After entering the passage, she became blind and couldn't see anything.
There were many lighting objects in her storage ring, but to be cautious, she didn't take out a single sword.
Anyway, Sister Li seemed to be able to see the road without lighting, so she just followed.
The two walked together for dozens of steps before Xiang Shen suddenly stopped.
Yuan Jing was so frightened that she immediately grabbed Xiang Shen's sleeves and asked through a voice message: "Sister Li, why don't you leave?"
"Be patient and don't be impatient."
He sent a message of comfort to Shu, and at the same time with a thought in his mind, the flying sword immediately flew out of the body and turned into a white light and shot towards the stone wall.
The expected sound of gold and iron did not come.
Xiang Shu felt as if a piece of tofu had been inserted into the flying sword, and the hilt fell off the sword easily.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and pointed at the flying sword. With a random stroke, a large amount of stone powder fell down, revealing a little crystal light.
Is it a crystal?
Xiang Shen stretched out her hand and grabbed it, and the crystal embedded in the stone wall immediately came out and fell into her hand.
Yuan Jing saw it clearly immediately, stared at Xiang Shu's palm and exclaimed: "What a beautiful crystal!"
Xiang Shen remained silent and carefully looked at the crystal in his hand.
The crystal was of various colors, and there was a very faint streak of blood inside it, which made the crystal seem a bit eerie.
Colorful things are rare. Xiang Shu narrowed his eyes and subconsciously thought of a treasure.
