Chapter 48: Yan Siguang who has regained his senses
When the voice on his back sounded, Ji Yiming's footsteps froze slightly.
And after Yan Siguang asked two sentences, he simply turned his hand and threw the black fat man directly to the ground, and gently lit the low-light mode of the goggles on his head: "Du Lingyang?"
"Huh?"
Not only him, but Ying Xingtian and Ou Haichao also quickly surrounded him, their eyes full of vigilance: "Who are you?"
Although the faint light of the goggles was not dazzling, Yan Siguang, who had just woken up from a coma, was in a mess in his mind, like a paste, and couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams at all, and only felt as if he had a long, long dream......
Being stared at by three pairs of eyes and the giant eyes of a Gu snake next to him at the same time, the chief scientist quickly became a little flustered: "What are you going to do? Boss Win, where did this snake come from? And who is this old man?"
The voice is rough, although there is nothing neutral, but it is completely different from the previous habit of laughing and whispering from time to time.
Ji Yiming and the three exchanged glances, and Ying Xingtian suddenly reached out and slapped his head directly.
"I ...... Win the boss!" the black fat man's expression was shocked, and before he could react, he was slapped on the door of the head with a palm.
It's over!
With a crisp "snap", he simply closed his eyes and tilted his head and waited for death. It took a few more seconds before he opened his eyes in confusion and touched his forehead: "What the hell is going on?"
ββWin Xingtian's physical recovery is limited, and his internal breath is even weaker to the extreme. It seemed that with a full swing of his palm, he could only kill a few flies and mosquitoes at most, and it would not cause him any harm at all.
And Du Lingyang knew that the former was exhausted.
"Like, it's true, right?"
Ou Haichao touched his nose and asked the two of them with some uncertainty.
The other two also hesitated, looked at each other for a long time before whispering: "It seems to be true." β
Yan Siguang sat up with difficulty, his mind full of question marks: "What's the situation, why do I feel as if I've slept for a long time?"
It was only at this time that everyone finally determined that Du Lingyang's consciousness had left his body, and his mood relaxed.
Ji Yiming took a moment to explain the whole situation before, Yan Siguang didn't wait to hear the expressions of the whole person, and even the deaths of Li Qi, Zhou Ze, and Ma Ben were just clear, and it took a long time to gradually calm down.
"The Great Unification Array is composed of all the ancient kilns here, and that should be true. β
Although he was mentally tired, his body was not injured in any way, and he was not as weak as Win Xingtian, and soon followed the rest of the people to hurry in the dark, but as he walked, he was very interested in the truth that "Du Lingyang" said after borrowing himself, and he couldn't wait to stop and study it clearly: "As for the ancient Gu array underneath...... It's not very likely. β
Ji Yiming had turned off the lights of his goggles, and he couldn't see the expression on the former's face clearly, and he only felt a little surprised when he heard this: "This is also a lie to us? Looking at the three Sect Masters of the 'Worm Dao' laying down the Gu Array, it seems that the possibility is not low." β
"Lie or not, I couldn't tell if I wasn't at the scene at the time," Yan Siguang pondered for a while before explaining to a few people: "Ordinary formations, no matter how close they are to each other, they will not interfere with each other. But a behemoth like the 'Great Unification Array' itself could affect countless formations, otherwise it would be impossible for the kiln fire here to burn for thousands of years. β
"And if an even older Great Array is arranged under the Great Unification Array, it is likely to cause qi disorder and even cause heaven and earth visions, and the effect of the formation will also be greatly reduced. At least I don't have this kind of means, as for the cultivators of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is there such a powerful ......"
He thought about it for a moment, but shook his head uncertainly: "Maybe there is, but who knows." β
"Forget about that for now, or run out to safety. Ou Haichao directly interrupted the former to talk to himself, turned his head and asked, "How far are we from the exit now?" The porcelain corpse has not appeared for twenty minutes, and it may suddenly appear from somewhere at any time, and there is no time to delay. β
With Yan Siguang, everyone in the formation, and Ji Yiming certainly let out the work of leading the way. The former has also been walking very fast, only occasionally stopping for a moment near a few ancient kilns to determine the direction: "These places have been marked when we explored them before, and we are lucky to have come back along the road that Lao Mo and I explored." Approximately...... Another eight or nine hundred meters. β
Several people were refreshed when they heard this, and they couldn't help but speed up.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Next to the cyan city wall, in front of the black Gu array.
After the corpse was transformed into a porcelain corpse, the three "Worm Dao" Grandmasters, along with the other twelve corpses, were kneeling around the formation base with their hands sealed, chanting Gu mantras in a low voice with a face full of reverence.
It's still a complex Miao language with a crumbling tooth, a demonic whisper with an endless sense of recklessness. The aura of the Ancient Gu Dao, which was the same as before, gradually dispersed in the dark air, but it did not flow into the fifteen porcelain corpses.
In the distance, in the pagoda-shaped ancient kiln numbered "314", Qingqiu's body once again appeared with a faint blue light.
He glanced in the direction of the Gu Array, sensing the aura of Gu Dao in the air, and a sneering smile appeared on his face: "More than a thousand years have passed, and my infatuation has not changed. But even if that thing is resurrected by you, will the plan be successful?"
Fifteen porcelain corpses sensed the changes here, and one of them looked slightly sideways in the direction of Qingqiu, and could not really look at each other through the boundless darkness of hundreds of meters, but both sides seemed to know each other's existence very well.
"Little Emperor Brother, you should put away your little caution. The only porcelain corpse that turned its head turned back again, and the smile on its face was almost exactly the same as that of "Qingqiu": "You triggered the power of the Ancestral Gu for yourself, and what I asked for was inheritance." As long as the Ancestral Gu is still there, the Gu Dao in this world will never be extinct. After thousands of years of spiritual immortality, it is a great gift...... If you try to force more, it's likely to backfire!"
Hundreds of meters away, and there is boundless darkness. Qingqiu, who is called "Little Emperor Brother", and Du Lingyang, of course, can't hear each other's self-talk. But they knew each other's thoughts very well, and they reached some kind of tacit understanding without direct dialogue.
Fifteen porcelain corpses continued to kneel around the blood-soaked Gu array, chanting Gu mantras that had been passed down from ancient times.
As for Qingqiu...... After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and walked in the opposite direction of the big array.
As he walked, he carved a few formation patterns on his porcelain body, and the reckless Gu Dao power that emanated from the air was attracted by the formation patterns and drilled into his body.
"I could have let those guys do it, and just harvest it in the end. The sarcastic smile on his face slowly faded, and a gloomy anger rose: "Little worm after a thousand years, you have succeeded in me off. β
As he spoke, Qingqiu was walking easily in the darkness like electricity, and soon came to the ancient kiln numbered "458" and sat cross-legged with the kiln body, and a faint blue light floated around his body.
As more and more Gu Dao aura drilled into his body, the momentum on his body became stronger and stronger. It surpassed the realm of "Qingqiu", a witch master, and entered the ranks of the top grandmasters like Ying Xingtian.
After entering this realm, Qingqiu, who was called "Little Emperor Brother" by Du Lingyang, hesitated for a moment, and finally took the initiative to slow down the absorption of the emanating Gu Dao aura in the air, and did not continue to challenge the former's bottom line.
The fifteen porcelain corpses seemed to have sensed something, and a charming smile appeared on their faces at the same time, and they scolded in a low voice: "Little villain, after all, the imperial sister-in-law didn't hurt you in vain!"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Yan Siguang was right.
It only took more than a minute for four people and one snake to pass through eight ancient kilns with different shapes and return to the entrance of the underwater tunnel for the first time under the condition of increasing the speed.
It's just that when Ying Xingtian turned on the goggles highlight mode on his head, and the snow-white light illuminated the entire space, everyone was shocked at the same time, looking at the gravel and dirt all over the ground...... and the strange formation that was exposed and lit up with a faint black glow, giving birth to a feeling that something was extremely wrong.
What happened?
This is...... Is there an underground Gu Array that Du Lingyang said?
Yan Siguang, who had just sworn that the underground formation did not exist, was not conscious of being slapped in the face at all, and jumped down from a pit and gently stroked his head on the black formation.
When he looked up again, his face was so gloomy that he was almost dripping.
"Ancient Gu Formation, a formation that has not appeared in the modern inheritance records - not even the 'Worm Dao'!"
Ying Xingtian's physical strength recovered a little at this time, but he did not jump off the pit like Yan Siguang, but walked around the entire area full of holes, and soon found that although each pit was separated by a few meters or even more than ten meters, the black formation patterns exposed underground obviously belonged to a whole.
"Du Lingyang didn't lie to us. He took a deep breath, looked at Yan Siguang who was squatting in the pit and pondering the formation, turned his head to Ji Yiming and said, "The real danger in the ancient kiln city is still hidden in this underground and has not yet appeared. β
"I received that text message before, it shouldn't have been sent to you. The latter thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "The sentence 'I'm awake', is it possible that this Gu array is subconsciously trying to convey it to Du Lingyang through you?"
Ying Xingtian and Ou Haichao had a look of remembrance on their faces, and nodded in unison after a moment.
"That's right, after receiving the text message...... Yan Siguang, who was possessed, became very anxious, and kept urging us to rush to the three grandmasters of the 'Worm Dao', and also asked Boss Ying to fight with all his might as soon as we met. β
"At first, I thought she was just trying to drain me so I could catch us all. Ying Xingtian nodded: "Now it seems that the Gu array and the Gu spell that those guys in the Worm Dao have indeed awakened the consciousness under this ancient Gu array as she said." β
"The problem is, the one who sent the text message...... In the end, it is not the existence that is suppressed under this. Ji Yiming was still recalling the look on Yan Siguang's face after receiving the text message, and he was still a little uncertain in his heart: "Although she looks eager, it is not a desperate expression that nothing can be done." Moreover, after destroying the Gu Array Gu Spell of the three Sect Masters of the Insect Dao, she took the initiative to leave Yan Siguang's body and enter the twelve porcelain corpses. β
"So maybe it's not the worst yet. Ou Haichao nodded approvingly when he heard this, and shouted at Yan Siguang, who was still groping around in the tunnel: "Can you see what's going on?"
The latter lowered his head and wanted to stick his whole face to the formation lines, looking like he was addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself, and was called several times by Ying Xingtian before he blinked and raised his head: "What are you doing?"
"Two questions. Ji Yiming thought about it, and jumped in: "Is it possible to suppress the evil consciousness under this Gu array, this consciousness...... Did you escape?"
The fat black man stood up straight and held his glasses, his face was not as charming as when he was possessed before, only full of the incomparable enthusiasm of a research scholar when he encountered a topic of interest.
"It's true that it's an ancient era formation, and the scale is larger than the 'Great Unification' formation in my calculations. According to the limited formation, this formation has a variety of compound effects such as control, suppression, excitation, and reincarnation. If it is combined with the exercises, there may be many other functions. β
"Look here. β
The three of them all walked to the side of this pit and looked towards the formation that was flashing with dark light: "The person who designed this Gu array is definitely the top Grandmaster of the Gu Dao, a well-deserved power in the ancient era. After the Great Unification Array above was destroyed, some of the array gems could be actively devoured and absorbed by this formation, in other wordsβthis is a living Gu array!"
Everyone was shocked in unison, and their faces showed a look of horror.
Life...... The thought that he was stepping on this huge, incomparable, and strange formation with independent life made me feel a sense of horror in my heart. It was as if a huge mouth could open at his feet at any moment and swallow them all.
"Well, that's not what it meant. Yan Si knew that what he said was a bit excessive just by looking at their expressions, and quickly explained back: "What I mean by life means that this Gu Array can actively reduce its consumption when its energy is weak, and only maintain its basic functions. When encountering external energy, it will also take the initiative to absorb it, and gradually open up its function according to the amount absorbed. β
"In the way you can understand best, it is artificial intelligence that belongs to the ancient era!"
The three of them looked at each other.
