I seemed to hear the guidance of the netherworld, the sound of hunting wind, and Chen Mo's body continued to fall.
"I should find a sandbag to cushion it..."
The hole here was much longer than he expected. While Chen Mo maintained his balance and slowed down his fall, he secretly hooked a puppet with his left hand and threw it to his feet.
After a dozen breaths, a small light spot appeared at the end of his sight. As the distance between the two parties shortened, the light spot expanded and became brighter and brighter.
"Bang" sound!
Chen Mo's eyes were dazzled. His body was first thrown up heavily, and then he pressed on another puppet, suppressing a muffled groan.
He took the opportunity to feel it, and except for the slight shock in his internal organs, nothing else happened.
Looking at Gu Yao, he saw that this person did not choose the same path as him, but got stuck in the gap in the stone wall at the last moment of landing. When he fell again, the impact force on his body was gone. .
As for the other two puppets, like the one Chen Mo was sitting on, they hit the ground hard and suffered some minor injuries.
After all, they are puppets. If they had used the same method as the members of the Underworld Cult to unload their power, they would have been exposed long ago.
"This is...Qimen Dunjia Technique?! The ancient formation that has been lost for nearly a thousand years actually appears here..."
Qingqiu Hu looked confused and confused, losing his composure in front of several disciples for the first time!
As soon as Gu Liqin and others landed, they felt the shock in Qingqiu Hu's tone. They looked around subconsciously and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Eight winding passages, southeast, northwest, and four diagonal directions, surrounded them in a circle. The fluorite accompanying the stone wall was extremely symmetrical. If you didn't look carefully, these eight ways out seemed to be carved from a mold. That's how it came out.
Gu Liqin looked up, and the top of his head was exactly where they landed, which was the central area here.
"Master...what is the Qimen Dunjia Technique?" Guo Ying asked cautiously.
Not only did she want to know that it was about her own life, but Chen Mo also wanted to know more.
Qingqiu Hu pondered for a while and said slowly: "Qimen Dunjia is a sect inherited thousands of years ago. As a teacher, I only have a superficial understanding of it in the classics. The number of eight trigrams corresponds to the eight gates, the gate to avoid death, and the gate to enter life. A chance to break the formation..."
How many people know the formation? Qingqiu Hu said whatever he said was what he said. Not long after, he said again:
"There are eight passages here. I don't know which one I should take as a teacher. However, the top priority is to seize the time to go separately and write down everything I see. I will return here in about an hour and conduct a careful analysis. Only the teacher makes the decision!"
Although Qingqiu Hu was surprised, he did not lose his mind. After a simple calm, he ordered several people in an orderly manner, and he quickly walked into the northern passage.
Gu Liqin gave the order to the puppets, and Chen Mo and other puppets were also sent in. What was left to him was the fluorite passage in the southeast.
"Tap...tap..."
As Chen Mo walked, he carved the patterns on the jade slips. This was the instruction given to him by Gu Liqin.
Although he didn't intend to record it exactly as it was, it was obvious that the first paragraph couldn't be fooled.
There were no elaborate mechanisms in the passage. Chen Mo walked carefully for a while. There seemed to be a light in front of him. His eyes moved and he hurried over.
Another seven identical passages! !
Chen Mo's eyes froze. He was sure that he was not under an illusion, and that he originally entered the passage from the southeast corner, but this time he appeared in the southwest corner.
Chen Mo looked around, but there was no one around. With a flick of his wrist, a certain piece of fluorite hidden underground in the north was chipped away by him.
"Make a mark and wait to see if you return to the same place."
Chen Mo entered due west this time, walked for a while, and then appeared in front of the fork in the road. There were still seven identical passages!
The piece of fire fluorite that he had originally shaved off a few inches grew there intact.
"It's evil..."
Chen Mo now understood why the Qingqiu Fox was so alert. This was because there were no traps in the cave. If a few were placed at random, it would really kill someone invisible.
Since no matter which way you go, you will reach a strange fork in the road, why not go back the same way and experiment one by one from the fork in the upper level, you can always explore more.
Chen Mo's eyes moved, and he turned around and went back through the hole on the west side. But when he walked out again, the sight in front of him shocked him.
The fire fluorite on the north side that was cut off by him has returned to its original shape!
"This is not the original fork in the road!!" Chen Mo was shocked. Firestone cannot be regenerated, and they were not caught in an illusion. This is the only possibility that makes sense!
Chen Mo seemed to have grasped the key point. He turned back again and returned to the original passage, only to find that the deep hole he had fallen into had disappeared without a trace.
Chen Mo took a deep breath and stopped rushing into the passage recklessly. Instead, he considered the current situation.
"It seems that the old man who built the foundation... made a miscalculation due to an accident!"
Chen Mo's thoughts became vivid again: "If I can meet Gu Liqin or Guo Ying, then I can make a sneak attack and get my things back! I just need to find the exit before the old man!"
"But that's easy to say... Where can I find a way out?"
Chen Mo returned to the most critical issue. He couldn't escape, or he would be torn into pieces by the furious Qingqiu Fox.
Although he kept saying that he did not have the combat power in the foundation-building stage, trusting the enemy's words was no different from actively seeking death.
"I can't say that my spiritual consciousness is comparable to that of Foundation Establishment, but it is far superior to monks of the same level. I am actually restricted here and cannot explore the second passage..."
According to what Qingqiu Hu said, eight gates are opened at once, and the eight gates expand the eight voids. Just like this, the total number of passages will reach sixty-four!
When the virtual path bifurcated again, the number of passages increased several times. Chen Mo did not dare to think about it anymore. He calmly concentrated and carefully observed the appearance of each passage at the entrance of the cave.
Chen Mo doesn't understand the formation, but he knows the stupidest method. Mark each channel and try it one by one. But before that, he has to observe the traces of the channels to make sure there is nothing abnormal. .
"If I can get out of the secret realm alive this time, I will definitely think about the formation thoroughly!" Chen Mo thought to himself.
Chen Mo observed for a while and found no clues in front of the passage, so he started his preliminary plan.
Even though it's possible to know that it's all in vain, it's still better than staying where you are and doing nothing.
Chen Mo started from the south direction of the space here and marked the space of the second bifurcated road. The horizontal direction is one and the vertical direction is five. The left diagonal means ten and the right diagonal means hundred. The mark will not be noticed by others and can also be used. Make yourself aware of the number of aisles you have walked.
In the deep passage that is unknown how many miles away from the ground, Chen Mo's figure is constantly busy. Every time he reaches a branching space, he marks it and leaves without stopping.
And he didn't just look in one direction and change the route appropriately. In about half an hour, he had walked through more than 70 non-repeating holes.
The light was right in front of him. Chen Mo walked out quickly. He was about to mark the seventy-fourth passage, but he found a shallow vertical mark under the stone wall on the east side!
"Seventy-three spaces are connected to the fifth space!!"
With this little discovery, Chen Mo was very excited and quickly returned the same way. But when he backed up, the space that was supposed to be the seventy-third had already changed its appearance, and became a brand new fork in the road that he had never set foot on before. .
"Tap...tap..."
Chen Mo heard a burst of footsteps, getting closer and closer. His eyes froze. He didn't expect to meet his companions here, so he immediately ran to the passage due north to hide.
Chen Mo also had a worst-case scenario in his mind. He might encounter not a living monk, but a monster existing in the cave!
The red light reflected by the fire fluorite gradually receded, revealing the face of this person. Chen Mo almost screamed, thinking that this was such a coincidence, it turned out to be his senior brother Gu Yao! !
If it were Gu Liqin or Guo Ying, he would have to retreat immediately. Once he was called to their side again, he would lose the ability to explore again.
"Senior Brother Gu! It's me!"
Chen Mo didn't show up, so he asked at the top of his voice. Fortunately, his surname and Gu Liqin both had the same surname, so even if the person in front of him was the fake Gu Yao, he wouldn't be exposed immediately.
"Chen Mo?"
Gu Yao's eyes flashed, he looked around the eight passages in front of him, and asked Yaoyao: "Where are you?"
Chen Mo confirmed the real master and then emerged from the passage. There was no need to say anything when the two met. Gu Yao said in surprise: "Could it be that Junior Brother Chen also knows the art of Qimen Dunjia?"
Chen Mo heard the word "ye" in his words and said with a wry smile: "How can I be as knowledgeable as my senior brother? I just walked here randomly!"
"This is the second realm of the Three Void Realms of Jingmen!" Gu Yao sighed: "The monks who arranged this formation are really extraordinary talents. The ordinary Qimen Dunjia Formation, if I had walked out long ago, the formation here The magic can change its position with the change of time. I wandered for almost an hour, but I was still wandering in front of Jingmen and Shangmen!"
Chen Mo took a deep breath and did not ask any more questions about the formation: "Senior Brother Gu, what are you going to do next?"
"This old guy is so anxious. There must be his enemies behind him. Only in the chaos can there be a chance to escape." Gu Yao and Chen Mo also had the same idea: "Let's walk around here first, it's better than staying still." good."
Chen Mo didn't speak anymore. Gu Yao saw what he meant and tapped his acupuncture points with his fingers a few times. After finishing, he said slowly: "I have cleared the dark energy from your body. You don't have to worry about me harming you this time." is you."
"Junior brother, how could he have such intention!" Chen Mo naturally denied it.
Although Chen Mo didn't understand his views on the formation, he probably understood that Gu Yao couldn't protect himself, so exploring with him wouldn't be of much use, so he might as well leave it alone.
After saying goodbye, Gu Yao seemed to think of something before entering the passage due north, and said after consideration: "The virtual formation of Shangmen may be connected to Jingmen, or it may lead you directly to the Death Gate passage... "
"At most, the Shocking Door will make you take more detours, but once you step into the Death Door, you must walk three holes in a row due south. Remember! If you take any wrong step, the gods will not be able to save you! !”
Gu Yao's tone was extremely serious, changing Chen Mo's cynical look towards him.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Gu, for reminding me!" Chen Mo quickly replied: "But how do I know that I have entered the door of death?"
Gu Yao hesitated, opened and closed his mouth, and finally said it: "Look at the soil, the dark red color is the gate of death!"
...
The journey was still going on, and Chen Mo's jade slips were already engraved with the route, but Chen Mo had never seen the legendary Shengmen Formation Eye.
"The one hundred and twenty-seventh space..."
Chen Mo raised his hand, and the wind blade left several criss-crossing marks on the stone wall.
Even if Chen Mo wanted to return to the original entrance of the cave, he could not find his way back. The sleeping soul-eating insects kept sending messages from Gu Liqin, but the caster of the spell was so far away from him that it was almost negligible.
Walking out of the passage in the northwest corner, a gust of cold wind blew through the entrance of the cave. Chen Mo shivered in the cave. Following the light, he appeared in front of the fork in the road. Due east, there was a tower he had never seen before. The stone monument! !
"This...this is the same as the handwriting on the Blood Lake and the Orange Blood Spider Illusion Array. They were both written by the same person!!"
There was actually a stone tablet in the fork in the road. Chen Mo naturally refused to let go of this hard-won opportunity. Even if he couldn't understand the font on it, he was afraid of missing every symbol.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through my mind! Chen Mo seemed to have caught something. His eyes wandered for a while, and suddenly stopped at the second position of the fifth line. This symbol that could temporarily become a word, he seemed to have seen it somewhere! !
"So familiar...I must have seen it before..."
Chen Mo seemed to have forgotten everything now, and his mind was wildly recalling the experiences of the past few years. Suddenly, his thoughts stopped in a room more than ten years ago! !
...
"This is what you win. If you discover the remains of the ancient teleportation array in the future, you can consider going to the outside world to have a look."
"Master, disciples must not do this..."
...
"Teleport token!!"
In the scene in the Tianding Chamber of Commerce's guest room more than ten years ago, Chen Mo suddenly blurted out that the front of the token was a capital word "pass", and what was engraved on the back was the second symbol on the fifth line of the stone tablet!
"This word is Chuan! The words engraved on the stone tablet...does it mean there is a teleportation array ahead?!!"
"But my teleportation token has long been snatched away by one of them, Gu Liqin or Guo Ying!!"
Chen Mo clenched his fists. All this could only be determined if his assumption was correct. If the words on the stone tablet had different uses, the meanings they expressed would be completely different.
However, the message was certain. Chen Mo's heart moved. It would not matter if he went wrong anyway. He raised his legs and walked towards the east direction behind the stone monument.
But the moment Chen Mo glanced at it, he noticed that the color of the soil under his feet seemed different from usual.
It is particularly like the deep red color described by Gu Yao, mysterious and weird.
