Moving forward and backward, moving left and right, Shen Qinglan's hands kept sliding back and forth on the stone slab.
She had smoothed the edges of the stones placed on the stone slab, and only the spiritual stone representing the center of the circle was still glowing.
For Shen Qinglan, that institution is more like an enhanced version of Huarong Dao.
The most basic and simple version back then made it difficult for her to pull her hair out.
Now this kind of thing is really a disaster for her, who was not very good at using her brain in her previous life.
Whenever she was forced to move even an inch, she wanted to just give it up and wait until the time in the secret realm was over to teleport out anyway.
But as soon as this idea appeared, it was shattered by the villain named revenge in his mind.
Maybe Li Xinru received some inheritance somewhere in the inner circle at this time, and her strength was overtaken. What should she do?
How dare you give up without taking revenge.
The exhaustion of the past few days made her move the stones up, down, left and right in a numb manner.
"Oow, oow!"
When she first heard the little wolf's call, she was still a little distracted. Did the little wolf say it?
Success?
Shen Qinglan looked straight at the stone slab in front of him. The spiritual stones were lying quietly in the center, and the other fragments were also assembled into a complete shape.
Done!
"Oh, wait, how did I move just now?"
Shen Qinglan raised her hand to stop the little wolf from making any noise, and took a few steps back from what she had just done. When the spirit stone returned to the middle position again, she finally couldn't help but hug the little wolf and laugh.
"Success, finally!"
According to the time comparison of the previous two times, the river water will alternate at any time from now on.
Just in case she made a mistake, she re-arranged the fragments into the same appearance as seen on the underwater rock wall, and repeated the steps several times, each time faster than the last, and finally controlled the time to two alternations of black water. Within a short period of time, I finally came to my senses.
"Success or failure depends on this."
"Ooooooooo."
"I'm hungry, let's cook something to eat."
In the past few days, Shen Qinglan had been so preoccupied with thinking about how to solve the problem that he could not take into account the safety of his surroundings. Little Wolf had been keeping watch over him for several days without sleeping.
She searched through her storage bag and took out the golden-horned sheep. "Seeing that you've been doing well these days, let's get some delicious food."
"Ouch, ouch."
Mostly wolves like to eat sheep, and Little Wolf also has a special liking for mutton.
"It's ready to eat one goat and three goats today."
Shen Qinglan cleaned the whole sheep and started refining it. Now she has mastered the Hundred Demon Flame Heart Art for a long time. Such a big demon beast can completely refine all the impurities and demon poisons in it in just a moment. .
The meat on the lamb leg is chewy and not greasy. The first way to eat it is to remove the meat from the lamb leg and cut it into large pieces. Then she condenses tiny flames and then strings them together with branches. Into lamb kebabs.
This has extremely high requirements on the control of spiritual power. At the same time, a dozen small flames are as straight as tree branches, with large pieces of mutton skewered on them and constantly turning over. A large ball of strange fire on the ground skewers the mutton below. The roasted aroma is tangy.
Sprinkle the spice of her substance, causing the ordinary little wolf to howl.
Make another hand-shredded mutton. Throw the legless mutton into a large pot and stew for an hour. Add in seasonings halfway through. After it is out of the pot, tear off large pieces of meat. The mutton is firm and almost lean. There are also With a little bit of mutton tendons, paired with the dipping sauce she prepared in advance, you can eat it in one mouthful, it’s amazing!
Finally, the remaining meat and bones are boiled into soup, and finally sprinkled with some chopped green onion. It is authentic and simple to make but extremely delicious.
Shen Qing carried out the entire process at the same time, with several strange fires running together without any pause in the middle.
Until the end, her spiritual energy was still full and there was no visible loss.
Now, the Hundred Demon Flame Technique is more like a kind of practice to her, a practice method that is faster than the formal practice of sitting cross-legged.
She divided everything into two portions and gave three large plates to the little wolf. After she said it was ready to eat, the wolf cub rushed forward and buried one end in, as if he would not look up until he finished eating.
At this time, the sky was starting to get dark and it was almost night.
Shen Qinglan got some thick branches and lit a bonfire. With a campfire lighting up, the food feels more fragrant.
On the river beach, one person, one wolf and one bonfire, facing the surging Black River, listening to the waves, and accompanied by delicious food.
Shen Qinglan thought that after taking revenge, it would be good to live such a comfortable life now.
As for the path to immortality, it doesn’t hurt to go slower.
She probably had no chance of slowing down. When her appearance was about to appear, the river suddenly calmed down.
The river has changed!
Shen Qinglan threw out a few sunstones, and it turned out to be clear and calm water.
"Stop eating! Work!"
The little wolf, who was enjoying the food, heard this and turned his head to see the river. The wolf's face was full of disbelief.
What are you doing?
He actually didn’t let the wolf have a good meal!
After biting into a large piece of hand-shredded mutton, the little wolf rushed to the river as fast as it could. Shen Qinglan put the rope prepared in advance on it, and then jumped into the river.
With a splashing sound, only the little wolf was left on the river beach again, staring at the river, and there were a few plates of fragrant mutton in the distance.
Shen Qinglan, who had fallen into the water, quickly found the stone wall and quickly moved the stones as he had done during practice.
The first step is gone with just one push, it's so easy.
A trace of doubt inevitably arose in her heart, is this it?
She always felt that fate would not let her go so easily. Sure enough, on the third step, Shen Qinglan took out a stone hammer and inserted the handle of the hammer deeply into the stone wall on the side.
When she took the third step, she felt something strange. It was not as simple as she thought.
Fortunately, she was prepared.
Holding the stone hammer tightly with one hand, he pushed the stones hard with the other hand.
When her hand touched the Bagua Diagram, her spiritual energy seemed to be sucked away, and every step required her own original strength.
From the first step, which was easy, to the sixth step, her fingers were already white from exertion, and the stones seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
Soon the black water alternated again, and Shen Qinglan tightly grasped the hammer inserted into the stone wall to prevent herself from being taken away by the undercurrent.
She jammed her feet into the crack, making sure she was pressed against the wall like a gecko.
It was a backup plan she came up with while cooking, in case she didn't have enough time underwater to turn it on.
The little wolf on the shore obeyed her instructions. Even after the black water emerged, the little wolf was so anxious that he did not run back even half a step.
It is a bonded beast, and it has the same mind-set with Shen Qinglan.
All it has to do is stay on the shore, wait for Shen Qinglan's instructions, and pull her up when she can't hold on any longer.
Monks are not afraid of being in the water; they can switch from external breathing to internal breathing.
As long as they don't stay underwater for many months, the water is not dangerous for them.
In addition to not being able to practice, it is not a water demon after all, and people cannot practice in water.
Every step to unlock the mechanism was engraved in Shen Qinglan's mind, but every step was difficult.
Some confusing pictures began to appear in her mind, affecting her.
Those noisy sounds and messy images are becoming more and more obvious.
Shen Qinglan shook her head hard. She didn't want to see this, she didn't want to see it!
But things would not go in the direction she wanted, and the pictures she didn't want to see clearly appeared in her mind.
Hallucinations, hallucinations, hallucinations.
She has important things to do, don't bother her.
Shen Qinglan resisted, but the movements of her hands did not stop.
Her hands were bloody and bloody, and some of her nails were broken in half, exposing the tender red flesh underneath.
She memorized those positions in her mind. Even if she couldn't see anything at this time and her consciousness couldn't be released, she still knew which step to take next.
The stones on the stone wall were stained with blood, but strangely they were not washed away by the surrounding black water.
Instead, it seeped into the stone wall bit by bit until it disappeared.
"Lan Lan, we are here to take you home."
A man and a woman were holding hands and standing in front of her. They were her parents from the previous generation.
"you?"
"What are you and us? What's wrong with you kid? Let's go quickly and take you to eat delicious food. I've been harassed by you for a few days, and I'll satisfy you today."
She took a few steps back, refusing the woman's extended hand.
How could they stand together so equally?
She took a few steps back and said, "You two have been separated for a long time. You both have children of your own. How could you come to pick me up? No, no, it's all fake. The little wolf is still waiting for me on the shore. I want to Turn on the mechanism!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I finally have time to pick you up. Didn't you want that coat last time? Let's go buy it now."
Shen Qinglan desperately wanted to retreat, but found something blocking her, preventing her from retreating.
How could she buy a coat? Wasn't it because of a coat that her stepfather kicked her out of the house?
Looking at the parents she once loved so much, the last trace of dissatisfaction in her heart spurted out.
The stone hammer in his hand hit the two of them. After a moment of feint, the two returned to normal. This time they did not speak, but just looked at her with a smile.
Shen Qinglan waved the hammer, "The friendship in the previous life is over. I don't hate you anymore. I will never think of you again. Go away and get out of here!"
Hammer after hammer hit the two people, and their figures appeared again and again.
"Lan Lan."
"Lan Lan."
Shen Qinglan looked at the two of them and thought of those beautiful memories of childhood, that's all.
At least they really loved me!
Finally, under her persistent attacks, the two figures turned into nothingness and disappeared completely.
At this time, she had reached the final step, and the center of the circle was finally brought to the center.
A burst of golden light suddenly appeared, and the originally black river water became clear again.
The little wolf on the shore jumped back and forth anxiously.
But it didn't dare to go into the water easily. If the black water rose again, it would stay on the shore to pull people.
Finally, news from Shen Qinglan came from the other end of the rope, and she called Xiaolang down.
The little wolf jumped into the water without any hesitation.
After a few breaths, it followed the rope and found the dying Shen Qinglan.
A small door opened in front of her.
Xiaolang guessed that this was the entrance to the Liangyi Palace she was talking about.
It picked up Shen Qinglan in its mouth, pulled it a few steps, and swam in with the man and the wolf.
The small door behind them disappeared the moment they entered.
There was not even a drop of water in the house, just like an ordinary house.
Shen Qinglan was still unconscious, and there was no response no matter how much the little wolf shouted.
The palm of her left hand was still holding the hammer. Xiaolang opened the hammer and found that thin bones could be seen in her palm. How much force she had to use to ruin her hand like this.
As for his right hand, all five nails were gone, a section of skin was worn away from his fingertips, and the entire palm was more seriously injured than his left hand.
With ten fingers connected to the heart, without the protection of spiritual power, one can imagine the pain Shen Qinglan suffered.
------------------
When she woke up again, Shen Qinglan found herself lying in the corner of the room, with the little wolf guarding her outside the corner, protecting her inside.
The moment she woke up, Xiaolang sensed it. He whined and told Shen Qinglan about his worries and what happened after entering here.
Just nothing happened.
There are no monsters, no mechanisms. Nothing seems to be taken away.
With both injured hands open, Shen Qinglan visited the room.
She wondered if she had made a mistake. It didn't look like a hall at all, but it was not as good as the hall with the statue of the God of Thunder that she had encountered before.
There were also eight machine arrays in the room, and she had a bad feeling.
Shen Qinglan bit down and selected one, then moved one piece a step.
Snapped!
With a snapping sound, Shen Qinglan exhaled in pain, "Ah!"
An invisible force whipped her like a whip!
He quickly walked to the side of the wall and stared at the room for a long time, but nothing appeared.
"What was that just now? What hit me?"
The little wolf didn't know that if it hadn't heard Shen Qinglan yelling when she was beaten, it wouldn't have known that she was beaten.
He just stared at her hands and urged her to bandage the wound first.
Shen Qinglan looked at her two hands, what a sin! Grandma Rong is not so cruel!
With the help of Xiaolang, she finally bandaged her two seriously injured hands.
"I'll try again."
She walked to the previous mechanism panel, observed it carefully, and took another step.
She had turned around to defend herself while moving, but nothing unusual happened.
One person and one wolf have question marks on their faces.
What a strange and irritating place.
I broke in here after all the hard work and wasted my hands, but nothing happened.
Shen Qinglan tried to move again.
Snapped!
Another whipping from an invisible force!
Shen Qinglan was furious, "Come out and stop pretending to be a ghost here!"
"Ooooooooo."
She walked around the room and shouted to a mechanism panel, "Come out, I know you are here."
Little Wolf looked up at her, you know?
Shen Qinglan glared at it, "Silly Wolf, haven't you ever heard of Hu Hu?"
Spiritual power can be used here. Her consciousness has checked every corner of the house, and anything that can move has been checked by her turning it over and over.
There really were no people, no monsters, nothing weird.
Except for the organ disks placed according to the Bagua directions!
