Chapter 7: The Old Man
"Obediently, can this Pixiu not only change space, but also time?"
The sun is shining around and the grass is green, such a scene should make people feel warm and comfortable, but Zhu Junjie instinctively shuddered while marveling.
"I don't think so, there never seems to be a power on the continent that can change time, at least I haven't heard of it. ”
Xiao Meng immediately rejected his conjecture.
"Then what's going on with this sun, if the days go by like this, we won't be old men and old ladies when we go out. ”
Xiao Meng suddenly asked, "Which of you still remembers the puzzle of the Sphinx?"
"Didn't I solve the water bottle puzzle?"
"No, I'm talking about the one he didn't finish. ”
"Oh, that answer is people. ”
Speaking of this, Yan Fei's eyes suddenly widened, Yun Yuan showed a sudden look on his face, and he praised Xiao Meng, who smiled at him.
"What the hell are you talking about, why didn't I understand at all?" Zhu Junjie asked with a blank expression, and Snake Nai also had a dull look.
"Fool, the Sphinx's puzzle is like this, there is an animal that has four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening, and the answer to this puzzle is man. Morning, noon and evening symbolize a person's life, when born a person is a baby, can not stand but can only crawl, so there are four legs; when the middle-aged person grows up and matures, can walk upright by two legs; in old age, the legs and feet are inconvenient, and have to rely on crutches to support the body, it becomes three legs. ”
Yan Fei also gradually understood the meaning of Xiao Meng's words, and explained with a smile on his eyebrows.
"But this ...... What does it have to do with our current situation?" asked Snake weakly.
"Alas...... Doesn't this environment make you two fools think of anything? You look at the sun, it's moving fast, it's not that our time has become faster, it's a kind of mechanism, for different creatures, the key to continuing to go deeper is to reproduce that puzzle, and we humans are going to become four legs in the morning, two legs in the noon, and three legs in the evening, and I don't need to teach you the rest, right?"
Yan Fei looked at them helplessly.
"And in the previous formation to protect the ruins, the formation inside the pyramid is also divided into several layers, and the first formation just has three key hexagrams, if I guess correctly, it should be the corresponding three key states, we must be stuck at the key time node to make the corresponding state, and we can enter the next level. I think the next state should be when the sun is close to the horizon. ”
Yun Yuan added.
"And how are we going to turn into three legs?"
"Isn't that easy?"
Yan Fei sneered, climbed to the side of the big tree, broke off five branches of suitable thickness, and gave one to each member of the Linyuan team. Everyone immediately understood, and when dusk fell, the five of them stood together in unison, looking at the sky that was red by the setting sun.
At sunset, a crow flies by, quacking
......
"Damn, I knew it wasn't going to work! What kind of puzzle? This Pixiu is just playing ...... us."
"Sister Xiao Meng, what are you doing?"
Xiao Meng didn't speak, at this time she was indifferently holding a dagger and constantly scratching the branches in her hand, the branches were full of knife marks by her, revealing tender yellow branches, and Zhu Junjie was slightly tightened in a certain part.
"I should be right, how can this be. ”
Yan Fei could not accept the reality of failure.
"Don't be sad, we shouldn't have misunderstood the core of the puzzle, it's just that there was a little problem with the implementation, maybe the number of legs that landed on the ground is not the number of legs of each of us, but the number of legs as a whole. That means we still have a chance, and when the sun rises again, the five of us will only have to touch the ground with four legs. ”
"I believe you again. ”
......
"Zhu Junjie, don't move your hands!"
Under a round of bright moon, Xiao Meng roared angrily, of course, in Zhu Junjie's ears, it was also a gentle coquettishness. At this time, the Linyuan team was greeting the arrival of Chaoyang in a juggling posture, with Zhu Junjie and Yun Yuan as the pedestal, supporting Xiao Meng, Yan Fei and Shenai. Zhu Junjie has a stocky figure and Yun Yuan has a tough body, which is the most suitable as a pedestal. With four legs, the remaining legs can't touch the ground, Yan Fei was carried on his back by Yun Yuan, while Zhu Junjie carried Xiao Meng and Shenai. Don't look at this guy as a coolie, this opportunity to get close to the goddess is undesirable for him. Yun Yuan put his two hands on Zhu Junjie's shoulders to maintain balance, Zhu Junjie supported Xiao Meng and Snake Nai's backs with both hands to prevent her from falling, Xiao Meng and Snake Nai leaned back and rode on his big arm, Zhu Junjie at this time really had a bit of manhood to stand up to the sky, and his hands did not move as Xiao Meng said, but it was not that he did not have that thief's heart, it was because he was so tired that he couldn't even speak, and he didn't have the energy to make small movements.
Xiao Meng really wronged him this time......
"Hold on a little longer, the sun will soon come out. ”
Yun Yuan closed his eyes, and the true picture of the great array appeared in his mind, and every hexagram was clearly visible.
The sun really rose as usual, there was no chill at night, and the morning sun did not have half a minute of temperature, and the moment the sun completely broke away from the eastern mountain, the change that everyone expected finally happened.
After the morning sun is born, it is to the top of the head in the blink of an eye, and then in the blink of an eye, it is about to set again, the alternation of day and night becomes extremely rapid, and soon there is the change of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, warm spring breeze, scorching summer, autumn high and cool, white snow. Immediately after the change of the four o'clock also disappeared completely, the blue sky and green land turned into a dark and vast universe, time and space shuttle, the stars shifted, in the dark, there is this huge Shang Tong grinding square, the grinding square does not know what material is made of, crystal clear, dazzling, even in the dark universe, it is also the most dazzling star, the grinding side is constantly changing, and finally becomes the same continent, twenty-seven pieces of grinding Fang separated, turned into twenty-seven strange creatures, including the dragon clan that travels, there is the flying phoenix clan, there is a huge Fu clan, there are also ...... The greedy Pixiu tribe. Each of them is extremely strange, and when they are gathered together, it is like the supreme principle of the world, and no one can reach it.
What they didn't notice was that a figure walked out of the chaos, and the figure didn't know where it came from or where it was going, so it appeared in front of everyone's eyes out of thin air.
It was an old man, he was very old, and he was too young to be described by the wind candle for the rest of his life, and his body seemed to be pieced together by knots of dead wood, trembling and walking towards everyone. Yun Yuan had seen many sect elders, the oldest of them was the Hongying Elder of the Qianzong Sect, but the old man looked ruddy and tough, and he would die for a while...... But the old man in front of him looked as if he was still alive for a second, and he was gone for a second.
"Hehehehe, someone finally came......"
The old man greeted everyone in his hoarse voice, which was not at all like what a person could make, Yun Yuan only felt that he was facing a thousand-year-old tree that had become a refinement, and after waiting for a long time, he finally waited for someone who could confide in his heart.
As the figure of the old man fully emerged, the surrounding picture came to an abrupt end, and the ancient tomb finally had its proper appearance, and everyone was in the dark corridor, and the echo could be heard by stomping their feet, and the old man snapped his fingers, and the candlesticks on both sides of the wall suddenly lit up.
"Young boys, do you want the treasure? Then come with me, the treasure is inside, if you have the guts, hehehehe. ”
With that, the old man disappeared into the deeper darkness.
Yun Yuan looked at the deep darkness, his little hands unconsciously covered his chest, for some reason, when he saw this old man, the emerald heart in his chest began to throb faintly.
