Chapter 496: Ancient Characters and Inner Walls
Ye Shuo and his party, who successfully passed through the fire pool, did not know about this tragedy that happened a moment ago.
At this time, they had already come to the fourth pass of the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion.
In front of him stood a tall stone door, carved with a giant circle shaped like a chessboard. There are dozens of chess positions on the board, and there are pieces of round brick-sized chess pieces scattered on the criss-crossed dividing line, and the surface of each chess piece is engraved with a cluster of strange patterns, which is somewhat similar to the common script of contemporary times, but is obviously much more complicated.
Only a handful of slots have been filled, and most of the free pieces are scattered around the sidelines, seemingly waiting for someone to come and put them in their places.
"This formation is arranged according to the rules of the Nine Palaces and Gossip. The chess pieces are engraved with characters from ancient times, which are now commonly known as 'ancient characters'. I think what this level tests is that we need to move these chess pieces to the appropriate position according to the corresponding ancient characters, so that we can activate the formation and open this gate. ”
While everyone was still observing in confusion, Luo Shenxing first came to a conclusion.
"Nine Palace Gossip? What kind of heavenly and terrestrial branches, three strange and six instruments and the like?" someone took the lead in holding his forehead and begging for mercy, "I learned a little bit from my husband at the beginning, and at that time, I could still recognize the bad characters, and they were already one or two years old, not to mention that they are all ancient characters now! Young Master Luo, you have no problem, right? You know all these ancient characters, right?"
After the previous three passes, everyone has respected Luo Shenxing like a god. In their opinion, the young master of the Luo family should know everything, as long as he follows him in the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion, he will definitely be able to open all the mechanisms and obtain the final inheritance.
Luo Shenxing observed the formation with a smile, and his speech was deliberately slow, as if he had the intention of arousing everyone's fear.
"Yes, I do, but not all. And the same formation arrangement, the combination of the nine palaces is different, which can stimulate many different effects. Once something goes wrong, it may also trigger a peerless killing machine. Think about it first, do you really want to trust my judgment?"
The saying of "peerless killing machine" made everyone shudder. But if you don't believe him, there's really no other way to do it. The first three levels have been passed, and no one is willing to turn around and go back like this. In the end, everyone looked at each other a few times in twos and threes, and they all nodded at him.
Xiling Bei took the initiative to step forward: "Young Master Luo, I also know a little ancient characters, I'll help you." ”
Luo Shenxing glanced at him, there was a faint surprise in his eyes, obviously he didn't expect that in addition to himself, there was a second person present who knew ancient characters. But I don't know what he thought, so he quickly put away his surprise and nodded with a smile.
The two started from the left and right, and Luo Shenxing first pushed the first piece towards the left chess position. Everyone held their breath until the chess pieces were firmly embedded and everything was still normal in the cave, and then they quietly exhaled a long breath.
Xilingbei then pushed the second piece. The mood of the crowd followed him on another roller coaster. However, since there are these two successful precedents, everyone does believe that they know ancient characters, and then they can be handed over to them more confidently.
Although it was the first time for these two people to cooperate, they had a tacit understanding with each other, and soon put the scattered chess pieces in place. Halfway through, Xilingbei had limited learning and took the initiative to retreat. Luo Shenxing's side was completely unhindered, and continued to push the remaining chess pieces, and soon, there were only five empty chess positions left on the board.
"I don't recognize the rest of the ancient characters. Luo Shenxing looked at the chessboard, his smile was a little hazy and mysterious under the shroud of darkness, "It seems that you can only try your luck." ”
As he spoke, he seemed to be pondering in front of the chessboard. It took a long time to think about it before raising his hand to push the first piece.
The fear that came to everyone's lips returned, and they didn't dare to take a breath, and their eyes were fixed on the chess pieces moving along the ravine-like crossing, and they didn't even bother to pray.
This chess piece finally settled, and at the same time, the cave suddenly shook violently, and wisps of accumulated dust and sand leaked from the gap of the tall stone door, which was also mixed with a few mottled rusts, and it seemed that it would collapse at any time. Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a few breaths, and the cave was calm again.
Luo Shenxing's expression was a little strange, and no one could tell what he was thinking. But he was neither worried about the vision in the cave, nor rejoiced in the peace. His expression remained calm, and he raised his hand again to push the second piece.
The cave shook violently again, this time far more violently than before, and sharp stones even began to fall overhead. Everyone seemed to be experiencing a major earthquake, and in the end, they had to cover their bodies with a layer of spirit crystal shields, and at the same time use spiritual power to stabilize their bodies, so they survived dangerously and dangerously.
"Oh, it seems, I'm in luck. Luo Shenxing smiled faintly, "Then this third piece of ......" The afterglow quickly swept towards the crowd, a trace of gloom passed silently in his eyes, raised his hand to hold the chess piece, and slowly pushed it towards the right side.
"You're wrong!"
A broken cry suddenly sounded.
Squeezing out of the corner was the strange stranger, who, before snatching the chessboard in a few steps, dragged the piece directly from his hand and pushed it in the opposite direction.
"And these two pieces, as they should be...... ...... like this," the stranger muttered to himself, and after a moment of non-stop in his hand, he quickly pushed the remaining two pieces to the corresponding chess positions.
After a dead silence, the ancient gate slowly shook.
Heavy door panels split to the sides.
A beam of light poured in through the crack in the door and sprinkled on the faces of the people who had survived the catastrophe.
“…… It turns out that Brother Tai also knows ancient characters, which is really hidden. When everyone was surprised that the door was opened, Luo Shenxing always looked at the stranger quietly. His gaze was inquiring and playful, as if he wanted to see through his skin, and see through several ribs in his body.
The stranger smiled innocently, and his tone was provocative: "I don't know much, very little, it's just that I know a few more than Young Master Luo." ”
Luo Shenxing's smile stiffened slightly, and he quickly returned to his senses: "Brother Tai is such a capable person, all the way from now on, I have to help you a lot." ”
The stranger said no more, and turned his head to melt into the crowd that was pouring into the gate.
Luo Shenxing's gaze still didn't leave him. pondering all the way, he also followed into the door.
On the other side of the gate, the first thing that catches your eye is a large stone wall, which is enough to put several rooms together.
The stone wall is densely carved with clusters of strangely shaped patterns, although it seems that the root of the stone wall is unknown at a glance, but just standing in front of the stone wall like this, it can also make people feel a sense of sublime majesty, as if seeing the avenue of law. Another example is that he is standing opposite a peerless powerhouse, and the spiritual power in everyone's body is already a little dysfunctional.
On the other hand, the blood in their bodies is rushing wildly in their veins because of extreme excitement.
"Inheritance of the Ancient Emperor...... This is the legendary inheritance of the ancient emperor!"
Regardless of whether there was another murderous motive hidden here, many people had already rushed towards the stone wall, looking at the pen hungrily, as if it was carved at random.
It took nine lifetimes to come here, for the inheritance of the ancient emperor, and everyone had almost lost their minds. After some pure admiration and obsession, some of the people who woke up immediately used their own means, and some of them used special time acceleration secret methods to make their own perception longer than others.
Some people know that with their own understanding, it is impossible to perceive the avenue here, so they are not busy looking at the secret patterns on the wall for the time being, and first copy all the lines that can be captured, and prepare to wait for the leave, and then find a quiet place to concentrate on the understanding.
Ye Shuo's attention spread out his soul power before falling on the stone wall, exploring the bottom of this secret room. Just like his vague sense before, this seemingly calm underground hides a raging thunder pool.
Every current rushes wildly in the pipes, and the turning points of these pipes are nodes, and if the nodes are blocked, the current cannot flow naturally, so ...... The furious power of thunder should come straight out of the ground!
Those who gathered in front of the stone wall were lucky, and no one had stepped on the node so far, but in this case......
Ye Shuo's gaze fell coldly on the person in front of the stone wall.
Luo Shen Xing.
The mechanism here is like it was made just for him.
Kill him here and definitely not arouse anyone's suspicions......
While he was carefully watching the stone wall and not noticing his attempt at all, Ye Shuo slowly moved his steps and walked to a position parallel to him.
After silently calculating the position of the node and the current, Ye Shuo raised one foot and quietly moved towards the nearest current pipe, and finally stepped on the node at the sole of his foot as if he had unintentionally......!
At the same time as the current was surging violently, Luo Shenxing followed as if he had been prepared, and then raised his foot and stepped on the other node.
Once again, the surge's current was repositioned, and two successive recoil forces made it even more violent. Rushing all the way down the underground pipes, it suddenly rose to the ground not far away, and instantly scorched an unlucky cultivator who happened to be standing there.
The sound of electric sparks popping caused a brief onlooker in front of the stone wall. Then, as if they had thought of something, they spread their soul power and probed the ground one after another. There was a strange look on his face soon, obviously he didn't expect that he was standing on top of the moving thunder pool just now, and he didn't know anything.
"There are so many organs in this Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion, Brother Ye should be more careful. Luo Shenxing looked at Ye Shuo, and it was not difficult to see a hint of warning in his kind smile.
“…… Young Master Luo is also more careful. Ye Shuo stiffly replied with a smile.
Now that the other party has taken precautions, it will not be so easy to use this mechanism to kill him.
After a failure, Ye Shuo gave up decisively and instead studied the lines on the stone wall.
He just didn't want to waste his time on meaningless emotions. The inheritance of the ancient emperor, he is also very interested. Of course, the abandonment mentioned here only means that he will no longer do anything in the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion, and there are still many opportunities in the next five superb scenes, but he has no intention of letting Luo Shenxing leave these six desperate realms alive!
After this small conflict subsided, the inner stone chamber entered a brief period of peace. Everyone was carefully studying the stone wall and leaving a book, and at the same time, they were also cautiously avoiding the nodes of the current pipe in the process of moving.
Ye Shuo stared at the stone wall. After refining the spiritual source, his comprehension of the law has really improved a lot, although he can't interpret the meaning of each pattern in detail from the appearance alone, but as long as he seriously stares at a certain symbol, opens his soul, and sees every stroke in his heart, the Dao Zhizhi contained in it will automatically appear in his mind.
Although all the flashes were scattered fragments of the law, for Ye Shuo, it was already a great gain. When he has the opportunity to retreat and meditate in the future, he will refine these insights and savor them, which will definitely make him take the path of the law to the next level.
Ye Shuo himself had the experience of contacting the law, and even touched the highest law ocean when refining the spirit source, but his own summary was too shallow, and the Dao law in the spirit source was too deep, and now the secret pattern on the stone wall happened to be in a central position, which not only made up for his immature perception, but also paved a step for the deeper avenue. Many of the things he knew about in the ocean of laws seemed to have been interpreted accordingly at this time.
"It's just that the feeling that I carved down casually is already so good, I really don't know how powerful that senior himself should be?" Maybe it was because the surprise he got in this stone wall was too great, Ye Shuo looked at it, and couldn't help blurting out.
A spiritual cultivator hovering at the end of the stone wall happened to hear his emotion, looked at the signature on the corner of the wall, and said with some hesitation: "If it is the Yanhua Sage, it is said that within a few years after he left here, he was already killed by the people of the Nine Shadows Temple. ”
"It's the Nine Shadows Hall again......" Ye Shuo's face instantly sank. Those ghosts and devils, how many debts do they have to create before they stop!
Not far from him, the stranger who had cracked the ancient script heard the words "Nine Secluded Palace", and his body trembled violently, his fists clenched, as if he was trying his best to hold back his anger.
Luo Shenxing had been observing him from time to time since he entered the inner wall, and he noticed his abnormality at this time. After hesitating for a moment, he took the initiative to walk over.
"What, are you a descendant of this Yanhua Sage? or ...... What are your grievances about the Nine Shadows Palace?"
The stranger took a deep breath, and his voice suppressed a thousand complicated emotions, "The predecessor of the Yanhua Sage is the hero of my human race, and he devoted his life to destroying demons and defending the Dao, but in the end he died at the hands of his own clan, I just feel sorry for him. Don't you feel sorry for him?"
This sentence was said quite powerfully, and he directly buckled a big hat of the Terrans, and if he answered a little carelessly, he was afraid that he would be regarded as a traitor to the Terrans.
Luo Shenxing's eyes narrowed slightly, obviously surprised by the stranger's eloquence. In the end, he could only laugh dryly and respond curtly: "Oh, sorry, of course sorry." ”
