The third day was no different from the previous two. Zhou Liyou took everyone for a sightseeing tour in the forest. When they returned to the waterfall, they counted and found that seven people were missing. This is not good news, because there are actually Li Qin's disciples among these seven people. This is definitely not leaving the team without permission.
Monk Wutou also frowned. For the first time, he felt that this team was really not easy to lead. His eyes glanced at the more dangerous people here, including the five men in black robes. But everyone looked suspicious. Sect Leader Liqin came over and told Seng Wutou the details of the situation, and finally asked him how to deal with it now. Monk Wutou is also in trouble. But when he glanced at Mo Wen, he had an idea, because at this moment, Mo Wen's expression was not depressed, but a little excited.
Monk Wutou walked over and asked, "Mr. Mo Wen, has he already found the way to Xuanyuan Cave?"
Mo Wen nodded and said, "Yes, we will definitely find Xuanyuan Cave tomorrow according to Sect Master Zhou's method."
"Tomorrow? Why is this? Mr. Mo Wen, now that we are at such a critical moment, we should stop playing riddles and tell the story to appease other people. Otherwise, the old monk's old bones will not be able to suppress these people."
"Okay!" Mo Wen said a good word, and then walked to the crowd and said loudly: "Everyone, I have found a way to enter Xuanyuan Cave. You can definitely go in tomorrow evening."
After hearing the news, everyone was shocked and temporarily forgot about the fifteen people. Everyone gathered around. Someone said: "Sir, what did you find? We are all rough people. If we have anything to say, we can speak openly."
Mo Wen laughed loudly and said, "Do you know what Zi Qi Dong Lai means?
"Purple energy coming from the east?" Everyone was stunned for a moment. Only Zhou Li was moved and said: "It is said that before I passed through Hangu Pass, Guan Ling Yin was delighted to see purple energy coming from the east and knew that a saint would pass through. . Sure enough, I came riding a green ox. What do you mean, Mr. Mo asked?"
Mo Wen nodded and said: "What I'm talking about is the purple energy in the Hundred Woods Absolute Sect. The great sage who created this formation is really amazing. He opened the Absolute Door in the Door of Death, and then survived from the Absolute Door. Door. You can enter this Hundred Wood Juemen Formation, but you can never get out. If I guessed correctly, I am afraid that this Hundred Mu Juemen Formation does not have a uniform formation layout. Except for the person who set up the formation, others cannot break it at all. Such a huge formation. Am I right, Mr. Ge?"
Ge Lao'er was slightly surprised when he heard Mo Wen's words, but finally nodded.
Mo Wen continued: "Originally, we were bound to have a narrow escape after entering, but this great sage added another clever trick to the formation."
Monk Wutou's eyes lit up and he asked, "What is this purple mist that Sir is talking about?"
Mo Wen nodded, then shook his head. The monk Wutou thought he got the answer right, but when he saw Mo Wen shook his head again, he shook his head and said: "Hey, sir, everything is good, but he has those bad habits of scholars." , likes to talk half-talk and half-hidden, what is going on, sir, please tell me."
Mo Wen smiled and said: "It's not that what the master said is wrong, it's just not entirely right. The blinding method is indeed this purple mist, but there is still something missing. This is the great sage's brilliance. If I were not born with If you don’t have the habit of drinking raw water, I’m afraid you won’t know about it.”
"Unboiled water? Brother Mo is saying there is something wrong with the water?" Zhou Li was the first to react and exclaimed.
"Haha, Sect Master Zhou, don't worry, there is just a small problem with the water. Since we set off, everyone has basically drank all the water, and Sect Master Zhou also said that there is a water source here, so there is no problem at all. So when we first arrived here, everyone drank the water here. There are so many bold and unrestrained people in Jianghu, and most of them didn’t do anything with it after filling the water bags. I am a weak scholar, and I have been in poor health since I was a child. I brought a small copper kettle with me. This is the boiled water I drink." Mo Wen added.
"But we've been drinking it for almost three days and nothing has happened? How did sir know there was something wrong with the water?" Li Qin next to him also asked
"Actually, I don't know. Before I set off, I heard that the fog here would make you lose your direction. So I brought some fluorescent powder. When I was walking with everyone, I would put a little on the ground to mark it for about a cup of tea. So. Just in case we really go around in circles. We really got nothing on the first day." Mo Wen said
"Sir, you are so talented. The old man has lived for so long, but he never thought of leaving any mark." said an old man next to him.
"Old man, don't say that. At that time, it all depended on the impression of Sect Master Zhou. I really didn't dare to ask everyone to stop and mark the marks before leaving. I just thought of such a simple method. But after the first day, I phosphorescent powder I spent nearly half of it, but still found nothing. I once sent someone to follow the fluorescent powder traces at night, and the person also said that he walked back completely in a straight line, which was probably the Baimu Juemen Formation. The effect. However, things took a turn for the better the next day, because when I was following everyone the next day, I suddenly found that everyone had turned to the left. After I came back, I asked people to press the fluorescent powder I had spread and walked again. , that person also discovered that the route we were walking was a hundred steps deviated from the first day."
"A hundred steps off track? Why didn't I feel it? But so what." Monk Wutou asked
"Isn't this strange? When we were looking for the entrance to the cave, Sect Master Zhou would never walk around so casually. He must have walked out according to his impression at the time. No one felt that he was straying. I was the only one who noticed that all of you As we were walking, we suddenly began to tilt to the left. And it was even worse on the third day. We walked in completely different directions on almost the same day. That is to say, on the first day we set off to the west, but on the third day, we headed west. Heading south."
"How is it possible? Why didn't I feel it at all?" Zhou Li shook his head in disbelief.
"Impossible. Although we are not thieves from the Third Gate, we definitely know this direction very well. We definitely took the same road for three days."
"Mr. Mowen, this is true!"
"It's absolutely true. I think there is another reason for this kind of thing besides being in the Baimu Juemen Formation, because I can obviously feel that the direction has shifted, but you don't feel it. That should be you. My sense of direction was gradually paralyzed! I was thinking that everyone brought all the food they ate by themselves, and the water they drank was all water from this waterfall. Then I realized that maybe it was a problem with raw water." Mo Wen said
"Our sense of direction has been paralyzed? Mr. Mo Wen said that the water is poisonous?" Everyone's expressions changed when they heard this.
"Everyone, please rest assured. I estimate that this water will only temporarily paralyze everyone's sense of direction. You see, Clan Master Zhou drank this water the first time he came here, and he is still fine. Then I will continue, I will I was thinking, since my sense of direction is paralyzed, then when Clan Master Zhou takes a different route every day, then when will I find Xuanyuan Cave? Clan Master Zhou made it clear before that he was trapped here for four days before he accidentally found it. I found the entrance to the cave, and I think I will be able to find it tomorrow night. That’s why I have to admire the great sage who set up this great formation. Not only is his formation skill great, but he also has a heart of compassion for heaven and earth, opening this door of death. To get out of the extreme door, you should give up your life in the extreme door." Mo Wen finally said
"So that's it. I thought this was just the formation of the Wood Method, but I didn't expect that there was also the Water Method. I admire your wisdom, sir!" After hearing this, the people next to them lowered their heads and thought. Some young people with good brains The man understood first, stood up and bowed to Mo Wenshen.
"Don't dare, I don't dare. It's just a coincidence." Na Mo Wen hurriedly returned the courtesy.
"Okay, okay! In this case, Master Zhou will have to work harder tomorrow. I, the monk, can go without eating or drinking for three days. I want to see if I don't drink this water today, will I do the same tomorrow..." Monk Wu He clapped his head and said happily, but was stopped by Mo Wen before he finished speaking.
"Master, I advise you and all of you to have a drink. Since the master of this formation has used this method to let us enter Xuanyuan Cave, I'm afraid there may be something on the way that we can't see. I will also tie my own eyes tomorrow. If you see something you shouldn't see and end up losing your life, isn't it worth it?"
"This..., okay. Monk, I will listen to your husband. Do you have any objections now? If not, let's take a rest now and wait until we enter Xuanyuan Cave tomorrow!" Monk Wutou said to everyone.
Everyone heard Mo Wen's words, and everyone found a place to rest without any objection. Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Mo Wen called Seng Wutou, Li Qin and Zhou Li over.
"There are two things I need to tell you. Just now I said that the Purple Qi came from the east. I can't tell the history of the ruins here, but the leader of the Gangzhou Sect said it right. Back then, I rode a green ox through Hangu Pass, and the Purple Qi passed by. Qi Donglai said this. The ruins here may have something to do with the Taoist sect. But I am not sure. There is one more thing..."
When Mo Wen said this, his face turned gloomy: "The Baimu Juemen Formation has been solved, but the fifteen people who have disappeared are still a big trouble."
The other three people who were still a little excited slowly calmed down after hearing this. Li Qin said: "Among these fifteen people are my disciples. I swear by Nanming Lihuo, my disciples will never If he ran away for no reason, there must have been an accident."
Seng Wutou also nodded and said: "I also think this matter is a bit strange. These fifteen people include various sects, and they are definitely not agreed upon. I myself doubt those five people from the evil sect, but these days I didn’t find anything unusual, I wouldn’t say it was normal, but there is no evidence that they did it.”
Mo Wen also nodded and said: "I can't figure out what's going on, but in case someone disappears again, it's better to put people from all sects together tomorrow and take care of each other. Zhou Clan Does the Lord have something to say?" Mo asked and suddenly saw Zhou Li seemed to have something to say.
