Ye Xun seemed to see my thoughts, and without waiting for me to speak, he preemptively spoke: "Let's go to the center of the Nine Palace Array first, maybe there can be any clues there." ”

As soon as I nodded, I was pulled by Ye Xun into the formation, and Ye Xun whispered to me: "I know you are suspicious of Yu Feng. Don't make a noise about it, I always feel that the layout here doesn't look like Yu Feng's style. Don't mess with your mind first. ”

I pretended not to hear, turned my head in the direction of the bean donkey's coffin, and saw that the coffin over there was still untouched, and I was a little relieved.

Ye Xun sighed at this time and quickened his pace. Before we reached the edge of the Gu pit in the middle, we saw a corpse lying on its stomach.

Li Bingning grabbed the corpse in a few steps: "Lao Wang?"

That was the detective who took the lead in trying to control me after Li Bingning disappeared.

Although the man was lying on the ground, his head was forcibly pulled behind his back, and his right hand pressed by his side was clawed into the mud, and his left hand was twisted and pinned behind him. If I'm not mistaken, he must have been attacked in the back.

That detective had fallen into the Gu pit behind him, and after he landed, he broke out of the encirclement for some reason, fleeing to the compartment between the two Gu pits, only to be chased by someone from behind, cutting off one of his arms and pressing the person to the ground, and twisting his neck from behind.

Li Bingning pulled away the palm of the corpse pressing on the ground, and I saw that the man had a crushed test tube hidden in his palm.

The man should have been running forward with the test tube until he was killed, and then he crushed the test tube in his palm under the severe pain.

I could smell the faint aroma coming from the tube, but I couldn't tell what it was.

When I looked at Li Bingning, the latter also shook his head.

Ye Xun, who had been standing beside us, spoke up at this time: "My estimate is really right, there is an underground secret door in every Gu pit. ”

I had already seen the secret door in the center of the Gu pit. As we walked all the way, we could see an iron gate in each Gu pit that was flat on the ground, and the stairs behind the door went all the way to the ground, but we didn't know where it led.

If I'm not mistaken, the Gu worms that were originally raging in the Gu pit should have been introduced by some kind of signal into the secret door in the Gu pit.

Li Bingning followed the traces on the ground to the edge of the secret door: "Lao Wang ran out of the door." He should have walked down the secret door with someone at that time, and was chased and killed after being discovered by the other party. ”

"Give me the binoculars. "I paced to the edge of the Nine Palaces Diagram and looked in the direction of the Five Poisons Sect's main altar with my glasses raised.

The pavilions and pavilions of the Five Poisons Sect were still hidden in the clouds and mist, and as far as the eye could see, it was still only the tip of the iceberg of the Five Poisons Palace.

Not far ahead from where I am is a water meadow connected to the Five Poisons Hall, someone used a knife to pull away the weeds on the ground and tried twice: "There is a mud pool hidden under the grass, it's not easy to walk!"

The swamp hidden by Asakusa is already dangerous, and no one knows if they will step into the mire and fall into the quagmire next. What's more, the front is still the main altar of the Five Poisons Sect, which is famous for its poisons, and the word "five poisons" alone is destined to be a poisonous insect area that no one should enter.

While I was pondering, Li Bingning, who connected the two long knives together, gently brushed away a piece of weeds in the distance, revealing a two-foot square stone: "The stone here should be a place for people to stay, right?"

Although the stone was covered in moss, there were still traces of artificial polishing. If there is a similar arrangement nearby, it means that the Five Poisons Sect once piled up a passage in the swamp with stones for people to enter and exit.

"I'll take a look. A probe found a wooden stick from nearby and tied it to the hilt, jumped on the stone with a long knife, and tentatively pushed away the nearby weeds, and the same stone was revealed two meters away from him.

The man struck the stone several times with his knife before jumping over......

The man jumped more than ten meters in the same way and then stopped again, but the stone under his feet moved a few feet to the left without warning, and the man was caught off guard and almost fell into the mud. When he stabilized his body, round stone piers appeared in the shallow grass where they were hiding, like poisonous insects intending to prey on them, and surrounded him from all directions.

At the same time, the stone pier that the man had trampled under his feet sank into the muddy water at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The man panicked for a moment, stepping on the stone and moving back and forth, but he didn't know where to jump.

"Steady!" Li Bingning roared in a hurry, rushed to the water's edge in a few steps, and quickly calculated the direction of the stones, "To the left, jump to the direction of eleven o'clock, and jump to the back of a stone pier." ”

Li Bingning meant to let him not touch the stone pier in front of him and land a little farther away. This distance is about four meters, which is extremely difficult for ordinary people to do, but for the Divine Exploration Hand who has practiced light skills, as long as there is a place to borrow strength, it is not difficult to cross a distance of four meters.

With a sudden force, the man jumped up with a wooden stick in his hand, and in mid-air he raised the stick and pointed at the stone pier in front of him.

For a master, this bit of strength is enough for him to use his strength to resist the wind and move forward again.

When the man pointed the wooden stick at the mouth of the stone pier, Li Bingning breathed a sigh of relief. But no one expected that the moment the end of the wooden stick came into contact with the stone pier, it was like a rubber band that had been pulled to the extreme and suddenly let go, and it was pulled towards the person with the sound of the wind, and it was wrapped around the opponent's arm twice before stopping.

At the same time, the head of the stick held by the man suddenly turned around, revealing two fangs that looked like hook blades, and bit the opponent's wrist fiercely.

The detective hand who was still in the air screamed and fell into the muddy water, holding the "wooden stick" wrapped around his body with both hands and struggling a few times, and was swallowed by the tumbling mud.

After a short while, I saw a black snake of nearly two meters, with the same thickness at the front and back, swimming out of the water, lying on the shore and slowly stretching its body, stretching itself into a straight line, and gradually lying on the ground stiffly - this is the wooden stick that the detective picked up to explore the path just now?

I tentatively grabbed the "stick" and waved it lightly twice, and from the hand I felt that it was no different from a broken branch, and if I hadn't seen this "stick" turn into a snake and hurt people, I would have thought it was a broken branch.

I simply threw the "wooden root" on the ground and slashed it down, until the blood burst out, and the broken black snake showed its hideousness again, and raised a "silk" chirp of the snake's head.

The surrounding detectives suddenly slashed the black snake into several pieces, and there was a rustling sound in the nearby grass, and when I looked back, more than a dozen "wooden sticks" had already writhed and swam into the muddy water, mixed with the mud of the swamp, and disappeared.

I was frowning when I suddenly heard someone shout, "Look over there, Lao Li...... Lao Li's bones ......"

I turned my head to look in the direction of the hand that had sunk into the mud, and a white skeleton in the hand costume had risen to the surface, sitting upright on the stone pier he had not been able to jump over.

In addition to the flesh and blood all over the body, the white bones were not even damaged in the slightest, and the backpack was still on his back, and for some reason, there were no scattered bones with his hands in front of him, sitting cross-legged and staring ahead, as if waiting for the arrival of another companion.

"White Bone Leading!" Li Bingning gasped and said, "Brother Wang, have you ever heard of White Bone Leading?" That's a legend in Miao Jiang. In the eyes of the Miao people, not everyone can become a ghost, people who die normally will return to the land of their ancestors, and only those who die evil will become evil ghosts. ”

"Legend has it that in the depths of the mountains and swamps, evil ghosts often appear that turn into white bones, and those who see the white bones leading the way often follow the direction guided by the white bones until they enter the ghost gate, or ......"

Li Bingning stopped at this point, and I couldn't help but ask, "Or what?"

Li Bingning said with a straight face: "Or be guided by the white bones to the gathering place of ghosts and gods, so as to get the gift of ghosts and gods." ”

I couldn't help frowning: "According to what you said, doesn't it mean that the white bones leading the way are not necessarily bad?"

Li Bingning nodded and said, "Yes, legend has it that only people with great wisdom and courage can find the land of ghosts and gods under the guidance of white bones, and come out alive and become heroes in the world." ”

When Li Bingning was speaking, the stone pier holding the human bone suddenly slowly rotated in a clockwise direction, until it pointed the white bone face in the direction of two o'clock, and the white bone on the seat then stretched out his palm and pointed into the distance.

The weeds there spread out to the left and right under the guidance of the human bones, and a stone mound slowly moved out from under the blades of grass, and the white finger facing the human bones stopped in the water.

At the same time, the human bones that stretched out the fingers to guide the way suddenly collapsed in an instant, and pieces were scattered in the water, leaving only a backpack still standing on the stone pier.

Li Bing said in a deep voice: "That's the white bones making way for us, it means that we should jump forward on the stone pier where he is and land where he is directing." ”

I looked at the two stone piers standing in the water and said, "The white bones lead the way, only once, or do you need to do it again every other distance?"

"I don't know. Li Bingning shook his head and said, "I also heard the legend told by a Miao Jiang Gu Master after drinking too much, and even he himself has never encountered a situation where the white bone leads the way." ”

I pointed to the swamp in front of me and said, "This swamp is five or six hundred meters away even if it goes straight ahead, and if it is five hundred meters, there is a stone pier every two meters, how many lives do we have to pay to step on it all the way?"

Li Bingning shook his head and said, "It's really impossible to want to go over here. Then we will have to take the dark passage in the Gu pit. ”

The secret passage under the Gu pit may not be safe. All the Gu worms have already withdrawn into the secret passage, and if we go down, we will step into the worm nest, how many of us can get out of it alive?
