Chapter 81: The Stone Statue
Xiao Yichen gently tapped the fan bone with his knuckles, but still did not reply.
Mu Xici didn't expect the other party to reply, she took a few steps back, and looked at the black qi in front of her with some fear. But when she looked at the brick road in the middle again, she found a familiar object: "My silver hairpin!"
It must have fallen off too quickly when Peach Blossom Eyes was carrying her before. Mu Xici's body moved, but was blocked by the plain white folding fan.
In just this time, the black gas has spread around the silver hairpin.
"Why did you stop me, I could have retrieved the silver hairpin. Although Mu Xici felt a little sorry that he was missing a magic weapon, the key was that this magic weapon was reformed by Senior Sister Yu, and the meaning was different.
"Because you don't have time. ”
As if in response to what Xiao Yichen said, the black gas instantly enveloped the silver hairpin, and then all the black gas suddenly erupted from the ground upwards like a volcanic eruption.
The entrance of the passage was occupied by black gas, but it seemed that these black gases did not dare or could not approach this passage, and there was not a trace of black gas seeping into it.
Mu Xici turned pale and thanked him. She didn't expect these black qi to suddenly erupt, she was still too inexperienced in distress. But this black gas is probably the reason why the two rows of Zen rooms are spotless.
"This is the silkworm swamp used by the Heavenly Realm to control the enemy. It is difficult to predict the laws of its activities, and once it is caught in it, it is notoriously indistinguishable from friend and foe, and there is no piece of armor left. Xiao Yichen's gaze flickered past Mu Xici's wound, and he shook the folding fan and turned around and walked to the other side of the passage.
Is that an explanation? Mu Xici glanced at the silkworm swamp behind him again, and quickly followed the peach blossom eyes in front of him.
The winding passage is much wider than expected, but a strange grey stone statue is placed just a few feet on either side of the passage. There are fat heads and big ears, big stomachs and no eyes, and long tongues around the body......
These stone statues look like strange-looking monsters, and there are nearly a dozen or so of them along the way. This Heavenly Heaven Realm sounds like a decent family, how could there be so many stone statues of demon beasts.
Because of the previous silkworm swamp, Mu Xici was always vigilant when he passed by these stone statues. Who knows if there will be any moths in this ruin.
The two of them walked for a while, and the front suddenly opened up. It seems to be a central nave, which is smaller than the previous one.
There were no so many columns to support it, just a large square pillar standing in the center. On the wall north of the nave, there are two silver round holes, and the mist can be vaguely seen in the round holes, which reminds Mu Xici of the teleportation hole in the Sanqing Pavilion.
At the four corners of the nave are four huge pearls of the night, and it is no wonder that the brightness here is much stronger than elsewhere. But there seems to be a pile of white powder under every night pearl.
Could it be that the night pearl will also drop powder.
Just when she was puzzled, the peach blossom eyes on the side lazily opened her mouth: "Do you have a fire charm, throw it over and try it." ”
Mu Xici took out a fire talisman and threw it at the nearest pile of white powder. As soon as the fireball conjured by the fire talisman touched the pile of powder, a strong flame erupted.
The blue and white flames spat out their tongues and devoured the white powder around them, and then scattered in the air and turned into blue sparks, floating in the direction of the two of them.
"It's phosphorus fire. Back off. Xiao Yichen used a folding fan to fan away the phosphorus fire that had floated in front of him, and at the same time pulled Mu Xici and wanted to retreat. Who knew that Mu Xici behind him frowned, looking at the passage behind him and not moving.
"We must go to the temple, because the statues are ...... It seems to have come to life. At the moment when the phosphorus fire was lit, she felt a powerful aura fluctuation behind her.
Like a giant beast that had been sleeping for a long time, the sealed stone statues were now revived, and they erupted in a dull roar one after another in the stone statues.
When I turned back, the surface of the stone statues behind me had begun to peel off slowly, revealing the vivid inside. From time to time, rocks flew outwards and sparked against the walls.
There was phosphorus fire in front and demon beasts in the back, and Mu Xici made a decision between lightning and flint. On the other side of the passage is the silkworm swamp, and the nave has a way out!
With a flaming whip, she pulled Xiao Yichen and ran towards the hall. The flame formed by the whip of fire and the phosphorus fire in the air constantly collided, creating dazzling fireworks. Xiao Yichen also replaced the folding fan with a dustless sword, and when the sword fell, a piece of blue light was extinguished.
The two of them took advantage of the gap and came to the silver round hole opposite.
"One of them is a dead end, which side to choose?" There were two teleportation arrays corresponding to the round hole at his feet, and Mu Xici asked nervously.
The senior mentioned this nave in the jade slip, and because she mentioned the teleportation array, she remembered it very clearly. But the senior did not mention whether he finally chose the left or the right, and only pointed out that one of them was a dead end. Which side to choose? It seems that ciphertext is still required for the opening of this teleportation array.
"Xiao doesn't know the formation, the girl decides, I'll go and drag them first. Xiao Yichen raised his eyebrows, and swept towards the rushing demon beast with the dustless sword. Unexpectedly, this ancient ruins would use demon beasts as protective beasts, so he neatly cut one demon beast in half and turned to face the other.
Obviously, she knows more about the formation than her, and she is embarrassed to say that she doesn't know the formation! Seeing the peach blossom eyes shuttling freely among the demon beasts, Mu Xi depressedly sacrificed the jade balance belt, thinking about which path to choose.
The silver round hole and the teleportation array in front of him almost looked like they had been carved out of a mold. There were no superfluous marks or aura fluctuations that would allow her to judge.
In desperation, she remembered a corollary she had heard in her previous life.
People tend to choose the left side in an either-or emergency because being close to the heart makes people feel more at ease. I don't know what purpose the predecessors of the ancient times made this mechanism, but she finally decided to choose the right side.
Sacrificing the swaying fan and struggling to sweep away the phosphorus fire around him, Mu Xici placed the hedron into the groove and began to carefully recall the ciphertext about the teleportation array.
The sound of fighting on the other side was getting closer and closer: "Miss Mu." If we continue to rub like this, we are afraid that we will become a pile of ashes in the corner. ”
"Xiao Gongzi is more than enough for one enemy, where will there be danger. Mu Xici reflexively turned around and fought back, only to find that the original more than ten demon beasts had turned into more than twenty. "How can this be, there are so many stone statues in the passage?"
"When these statues are cut down, they split in two. The dustless below was too sharp, and a lot of reinforcements were added to them. How is the teleportation array going? In the interval between Xiao Yichen's words, a sword swing did not control the strength well, making the other party add another member.
"It takes a piece of ciphertext to open the teleportation array, let me think about it again. I had to trouble Xiao Gongzi to hold on for a while. While Mu Xici was speaking, he saw a scarlet round tongue rolled up on the right, and there was a row of barbs on the tip of the tongue that was more than three inches wide......
