Chapter Eighty-Five: Phantom Array
The red gossip light map slowly faded, and the red barrier surrounding the octagonal altar disappeared with it.
Xiao Dan went over to help Wu Lao up, and the voice was dissatisfied:
"Thao, didn't Brother Sha tell you before, what kind of bloodline array is this, and you can't force it above the Spirit Yuan Realm to enter. Make you disobedient, huh!"
was "reprimanded" by Xiao Dan pretending to be old-fashioned, Wu Lonely's face was slightly red, and she had to grin.
"It seems that this so-called bloodline array is a protective formation built with the essence blood of Zhuge Li, the distant ancestor of the Zhuge family. If a foreigner is close to Zhangnai, the formation will operate on its own and trigger the prohibition. ”
Sha Li passed the sound as he walked towards the two of them.
"Thao, Brother Sha has a way to get in. Xiao Dan looked expectant. The more this octagonal altar is protected in this way, the more important and mysterious it becomes.
Sha Li knew Xiao Dan's thoughts very well. Although he guessed that this formation must be related to gossip, he had no way to crack it now, so he had to shake his head helplessly.
When Xiao Dan saw Sha Li like this, he first pouted and was a little disappointed. But soon, his eyes turned slightly, and he seemed to have something in his heart.
I saw her walk towards the altar, and at the point where the red barrier had just appeared, she gently touched the void.
Soon, the eight-sided red barrier appeared out of thin air again. Xiao Dan was shocked by the repulsion of the barrier and took a few steps back.
"Xiao Dan, don't mess around, come back quickly!" Wu Lao, who had suffered a lot, hurriedly transmitted the sound and rushed forward, wanting to pull Xiao Dan back.
Sha Li looked at Xiao Dan's actions and wanted to stop it, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Xiao Dan stretched out his palms and stabbed at the red transparent barrier, Wu Liao wanted to stop it, but it was already a step too late.
To his surprise, Xiao Dan was not bounced away by the huge repulsion. Not only that, but her palms actually pierced through the barrier and shook her hands playfully within the barrier.
As she took another step forward, she was already submerged in the barrier.
Looking at Xiao Dan inside the red barrier with a smug smile and raising his chin at himself outside the barrier, Wu Liao was a little dumbfounded.
"It seems that Xiao Dan's spatial power can indeed penetrate this prohibition. Although Sha Li was not as surprised as Wu Lone, he didn't expect Xiao Dan to enter so easily.
He thought about it for a moment and sent a message to Xiao Dan inside the barrier and asked her to come out first. But Xiao Dan didn't react to his transmission.
"Could it be that this ban can still isolate the transmission of sound?" Sha Li quickly made a guess.
So he waved his hand at Xiao Dan and motioned for her to come out first.
"Xiao Dan, didn't you just receive my transmission?"
"T-cha, no, did Brother Sha transmit the sound just now?" Xiao Dan looked puzzled.
"It seems that this prohibition can indeed isolate the transmission of sound. Sha Li patted Xiao Dan on the shoulder, and Chuanyin asked, "Can you take me and Wu Liao in?"
Dan didn't reply. She turned back to the red barrier, her hands clenched into fists, as if gripping the barrier tightly. Then, under Wu Lone's surprised gaze, he pulled the barrier light curtain into a big hole.
Seeing this, Sha Li and Wu Lao immediately used their body magic skills and flashed into the barrier.
The reason why he was in such a hurry was because Xiao Dan said that he couldn't hold on for a long time.
"Sister Xiao Dan, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. Wu Lao said.
"You can speak, you don't have to speak. Sha Li said.
"Really, boss?" Wu Lao asked loudly.
"Looks like I guessed right. Sha Li spoke, with a soft smirk on his face.
Wu Lao raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he remembered something.
"No, boss, when you asked me to speak, I used a voice!"
"Uh...... Let's look at the altar first. Hey, Dan, there's a ladder!"
Sha Li pointed to the stone staircase that the three of them had already found as soon as they entered the main hall. Wu Lao spread his hands to him.
The stone staircase is wide enough to accommodate three people on the same board. From the bottom to the top, there were only thirty-two levels in total, and the three of them quickly reached the top.
"Is it a coincidence?"
"Boss, what's the number of four or eight?"
Wu Lao heard Sha Li whispering, and then asked.
"There are thirty-two stone stairs in all, which correspond to the number of forty-eight. Sha Li replied.
"What's so important about this?" Wu was puzzled.
"Do you recognize the giant bird on this mural?"
"It looks like a phoenix, but it's a little different. Wu Lao said after looking at the murals.
"If I'm not mistaken, this giant bird is the Vermilion Bird. ”
Combined with the records in the "Chronicles of the Mountains and Seas", as well as the rumored origin of the Zhuge family and the Vermilion Bird, in fact, Sha Li is very sure.
"It is rumored that the Vermilion Bird and the Phoenix are of the same bloodline, no wonder they look so similar. Wu Lao nodded.
"The old Yang Vermilion Bird is one of the four elephants, and you look at the feet. ”
Wu Lao looked down when he heard this, but saw that on the eight edges of the octagonal altar, each carved with a red trigram.
"The altar is gossip. Sixiang gossip, is this altar really built to worship Vermilion Bird?"
"Chatter, Brother Sha, there's a strange little hole here. ”
Just as Sha Li was thinking, Xiao Dan's voice came. He turned around with Wu Lao and found that Xiao Dan was hanging himself on the stone platform that was much higher than hers, and his head stretched out to the table, trying to see what was on the platform.
Sha Li approached the stone platform and found that it had a smooth surface and was almost recognizable. And in the center of the countertop, there is a prismatic pit, which is a strange pit in Xiao Dan's mouth.
Sha Li naturally wanted to touch the delicate pit, but when his fingers touched it slightly, it retracted like lightning. His eyes were wide open, as if he had seen a shocking scene.
"Boss, what's wrong with you?" Wu Liao patted Sha Li's shoulder.
"Brother Sha, are you okay?" Xiao Dan also asked with concern with colorful eyes.
"You touch this place. Sha Li pointed to the prismatic pit on the countertop.
Although they didn't understand why Sha Li reacted the way he did, and why they let them do it, the two of them did as they were told.
Sha Li saw that there was nothing unusual after the two of them touched the pit, and couldn't help but ask Wu Lao, "What's the matter?"
Wu Liao shook his head, and Sha Li shifted his gaze to Xiao Dan, who was the same.
Sha Li frowned, as if he was puzzled by the huge difference in the reactions of himself and Xiao Dan after touching the pit.
Just as he touched the pit, a burning heat suddenly rose in his kidney palace, and then, a picture flashed through his sea of consciousness, a huge firebird with a blazing fire all over his body.
"Boss, what happened to you just now?" Wu Lone had a puzzled look on his face.
Sha Li shook his head, his brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't speak. After a few breaths, his eyebrows stretched, as if he had made up his mind.
He put his fingers back on the prismatic pit and closed his eyes.
Wu Liao and Xiao Dan glanced at each other, neither of them knew why, but they both understood that Sha Li should be confirming something, so they could only wait quietly.
The moment his finger touched the pit, Shali's kidney palace burned again. Unlike last time, this time the burning sensation came and went, strong and weak.
He looked inwardly and found that in the kidney palace, the red spar that was originally suspended quietly was shining red light in the light and darkness at this time, and it was very rhythmic between light and darkness, like the breath of a living creature.
At the same time, the huge firebird that appeared in his sea of knowledge was slowly shrinking, and finally turned directly into a red spar. At the moment of change, a trace of red light flew out and pierced into the depths of the Shali Knowledge Sea.
The hedron is prismatic in shape, somewhat similar to the one in the Celestial Uterus. But Sha Li felt that it was more like the prismatic pit on this stone platform.
The hedron floats silently in the void, as if it is far away in the sky, and it seems to be close at hand. Because, at this time, Sha Li can clearly feel its existence.
"Brother Sha, did you see something?"
Xiao Dan saw that after Sha Li opened his eyes, his brows furrowed again, and he couldn't help asking.
"If I'm not mistaken, that Vermilion Bird is still here. ”
"What are you talking about, boss, isn't the Vermilion Bird Stone stolen......? Here?" Wu Lao was surprised at first, then glanced around the altar, but still found nothing.
Sha Li didn't reply, but stared intently at the countertop of the stone platform, to be exact, at the prismatic pit.
"Ten Thousand Beasts Divine Formula, the Hoof of Qi Gu. ”
After Sha Li said a silent voice in his heart, his right hand turned into a huge beast hoof.
"Boss, what are you doing here?"
Wu Liao had some bad premonitions.
"You're not going to smash it, are you?"
This stone platform is likely to be used to worship the Vermilion Bird Stone, which is of great significance to the Zhuge family. Although it is frustrating to not find the Vermilion Bird Stone, there is no need to be angry with this stone platform. Moreover, Shali shouldn't be such an impulsive person.
"That's right!"
When Sha Li said this sentence very resolutely, the beast hoof alienated in his right hand was already smashed towards the stone platform.
"Bang!"
It was like the sound of a hammer hitting a hard boulder, and Wu Lao didn't have time to close his hearing, and his eardrums were shaken. Xiao Dan pulled down his hat early and covered his ears at the moment when the hooves of the sari beast appeared.
When the loud noise dissipated, the two leaned towards the stone platform, both showing strange eyes, looking at Sha Li.
They had seen Sha Li's beast hooves, it was Sha Li's move to shock the firmament, and it was powerful enough to open the mountain and shatter the monument, but it couldn't break the stone platform.
Not to mention shattered, not even a trace was left.
"It is worthy of being a container for the Zhuge family to worship holy relics, this material is not ordinary at first glance. Wu Lao nodded, looking quite insightful and commenting.
"Click!"
As if in response to Wu Lone's words, a cracking sound came. On the stone countertop, the prismatic pit cracked a barely visible gap.
But the three of them saw it right away.
"Click!"
Under Wu Lone's widening gaze, the stone table top was centered on a prismatic pit, cracking in all directions, and the cracks were similar to the cobwebs.
Cracks spread from the countertop to the sides of the stone platform, and soon the entire surface of the stone platform was covered with cracks.
"Bang!"
The entire stone platform shattered like a perfect porcelain statue being smashed, and the broken stone pieces flew towards the three of them.
But before they could dodge, the shattered stone flakes turned into puffs of green smoke, and then completely dissipated, as if they had never appeared.
The stone platform was intact, and the pits still existed on the countertop.
It's just that at this time the pit has been filled and filled with a strange rock.
Red prismatic stones!
"This is, Phantom Array?"
