Volume 1, Volume 1, Desert Ghost Town, Chapter 24, Gu Array
"Hey, I said you guy, don't you know the way, how do you feel like you're walking blindly with me!"
"Calm down... I'm trying to figure out the way. Fang Shuanghua explained to Qing Huan with an embarrassed face that just now when he was leading the team to find the way, he happened to run into Gu Qinghuan who was carrying Lin Xinyue on his back, and Qing Huan was using the dragon blood in his body to treat the keel state of his body at the moment, so he was provided with "incidental" protection by Fang Shuanghua.
In fact, Gu Qinghuan's heart was also extremely nervous and speechless, "Bastard, if it weren't for the unconscious Lin Xinyue on his back, Xue Tong, an unreliable guy... It hurts that the master now has to rely on "selling hue" to mix safety. ”
"Ethan, Keynes, each of you will take twenty men to the front and the rear to investigate. Fang Shuanghua also felt quite uneasy about this place, after walking in this dark environment for so long, there were no rocks or rocks around, and this guy Qinghuan even forgot the place where he came out, which made Fang Shuanghua think that they had lost their way.
But these are quite acceptable, the most important factor is that originally this place only limited their ability to communicate and mobilize the spiritual power of the outside world, and the spiritual power stored in the body can still be used freely, but now, the more you go, the more difficult it is to mobilize the spiritual power in your body, and if you encounter the enemy again at this time, you may be wiped out.
"Team Leader Edward, the enemy is in the rear!" However, not long after the dispatch, Keynes came back to report that the rear was attacked, and he was suddenly attacked by the other party during the questioning, resulting in heavy losses.
Could it be that someone has been following them? It is impossible for more than 100 people on his side not to feel it, is there any secret passage in this strange place? Compared to the enemy in front of him, Fang Shuanghua's thinking direction is more comprehensive.
"Wait, this feeling is..."The pupil array was extremely sensitive to the fluctuations of the elements, Gu Qinghuan hurriedly ran to the back after the initial surprise, although it was not very convenient to hold Xin Yue, and it was more laborious for the princess to hold this posture, but it was safer than leaving it to Fang Shuanghua to take care of.
"What's the matter? do you know?" Of course, Fang Shuanghua also followed, since there was an enemy in the rear, there was no reason for him, the captain, not to go and find out.
"This ethereal feeling of being absent is Long Xi'er. Gu Qinghuan dodged a few times and quickly arrived at the place where Cairns and they were attacked.
That's right, that kind of greatsword is only used by Ciel alone, but wait, this form is...
"Jiuxia, why are you here?" Gu Qinghuan looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, who was carrying the Void Spirit Giant Sword and surrounded by the corpses of the members of the Heavenly Punishment Team, and his blood-stained indifferent face finally showed a hint of brilliance.
"Master, I have finally found you. Jiuxia's tone made Qing Huan feel a little unfamiliar, and when he thought of the words of that fake Lin Xinyue, he couldn't help but be wary.
"You, how could you... So?" "Having killed fifteen well-trained members of the Heaven's Damnation Team in such a short period of time, is this still the scrappy apprentice he knew?"
"Master, Xi'er... She..."Jiuxia didn't feel like crying, he didn't know what was wrong with him now, he just felt heavy, his voice was naturally very low, maybe he was starting to be numb, he handed over a pure white square card.
Gu Qinghuan was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted to Jiuxia's meaning, took Long Xi'er's information card, and he began to fall into a short silence, "It's still too late... Who did that?"
"It's some people in black uniforms who have been killed by me. Su Jiuxia sighed, turned back again, and picked up the child he had put aside for safety.
Than Su Qi Jiuxia's Mu Ran, Qinghuan's eyes have begun to emerge with killing intent, and his biting lips have begun to bleed, he is really puzzled, he is in this kind of place, it is... But why do you say it must be me, no, it's not the time to be sad, everyone else is unknown, find them and say, "She...?"
"It's... Inside, meet Ci'er who was rescued. Su Jiuxia picked up the child and stood quietly beside Qinghuan, as if only in this way could he let go of some of the fear brought by numbness, it turned out that he was still a coward.
"Edward, he is the person of our scarlet night, you..." looked at Fang Shuanghua who came with him, Su Jiuxia definitely couldn't hand it over to him, but he had just killed the person who was damned, if he did it now, I am afraid it would be difficult to escape without injury.
"He listened to you, right?" Fang Shuanghua asked rhetorically.
"Ahh ”
"Then he is now our more effective combat force, and the overall strength has increased, so why not. Fang Shuanghua's words were not only said to the two of them, but also to the rest of the soldiers behind him.
Since Su Jiuxia was able to kill those soldiers and still be alive, it showed that his combat effectiveness was higher than the sum of those soldiers, and now it was beneficial to his own side and could increase their strength, so this kind of cooperation was cost-effective for the time being, and this was the value of this world.
"Sure enough, it's just their tool. Su Jiuxia couldn't help but think of Xi'er's words, and smiled expressionlessly.
"Don't think about it so much, I won't use you as a tool. Qinghuan smiled reluctantly, he was in a bad mood in this environment, "Since you are still alive, then continue to live well, Xi'er has given you strength, and I guess I don't want you to die." ”
"Well, I see, Master. ”
"It's all said, just call me Qinghuan. Although Qinghuan is comforting Jiuxia on the surface, his heart is in chaos, the current situation is completely beyond his imagination, in his own eyes it is true but it seems to be fake, what is false is true, Jiuxia believes in himself, so what should he believe?
"Team leader, the person who met the three enforcers in front of him seems to have escaped after being surrounded by bounty hunters," Ethan Cruise, who had been sent out earlier, also returned, with three people who were not part of his team.
After all, the Damnation and the Enforcer are allies, so it's better to leave this matter to the team leader to decide.
"Huh, Jiuxia, I finally met an acquaintance!" The surprised voice behind him came, it was Zhang Lingjin who fled with Cangwei in the sixteenth night.
"Your people?" Fang Shuanghua pointed ahead.
"Well, together. "Then there are still five people left, Xie Qilan, Bai Mocheng, Ji, Chen Linxuan and Yu Qianye, you have to find them quickly, Qinghuan's face began to be serious, Xin Yue was unconscious, Xue Tong fell into a deep sleep again, he could only call the shots himself, act by himself, and make his own decisions to protect everyone.
"Ah, Jiuxia, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Lingjin looked at Jiuxia who was holding the Void Spirit Giant Sword in surprise, wasn't that Xi'er's?
"She's ......"
After listening to Jiuxia's short description in a silent tone, Zhang Lingjin was also silent for a while, although he had not known him for a long time, Long Xi'er's gentleness and kindness still made him feel very intimate, and it made him feel uncomfortable to die in this strange desert like this.
"That, everyone..."Zhang Lingjin seemed to have made up his mind or something, looking at Jiuxia and Qinghuan, "In the future, come back alive as much as possible, no matter how many injuries you have, as long as you come back alive, I will definitely heal you!"
"Well, definitely. By the way, Ling Jin, have you seen anyone else?" Qing Huan was hugged again by Lin Xinyue, who he was holding with one hand.
"By the way, Mocheng is over there, and the people of the Knight's Sword are fighting, and I don't know about the rest. ”
"Actually, Cangwei can draw you a route to find someone. Sixteen Nights, who had been hiding behind Zhang Lingjin, Cang Wei suddenly walked out, maybe because of her previous experience, she still didn't dare to go too far.
"She?" Qing Huan looked inquiring, it seemed that his relationship with Zhang Lingjin was not ordinary, didn't he know anyone before he came?
"The law enforcer's monthly life..."Zhang Lingjin awkwardly explained Cang Wei's identity, don't gossip so much about other light fans!
"Hmm. "Gu Qinghuan's expression that understands you is exactly the same as Huang Cheng's expression when he was kidnapped and left.
"Eh... Can I say that?" Cang Wei said timidly.
"Okay, say it. Fang Shuanghua said.
"Actually, when I first entered this place, I used the Exploration Spirit Array to scan the entire space, and the general shape of the entire space was a compound five-pointed formation, and there seemed to be a connection between the upper and lower layers at the ten nodes on the inner side. Cang Wei borrowed a sword from Fang Shuanghua and drew it on the ground.
"So that means that the section of tunnel with an upward slope that I just walked on was actually me coming up?" Su Jiuxia thought about it, and felt that what Cang Wei said was also very consistent with his experience, he fell into it inexplicably first, if there was a secret passage itself, then what happened to him would not be an accident, but what happened to that strange floor design?
After listening to Su Jiuxia's narration, Cang Wei thought for a while and continued, "The environment you were in at that time may be in the direction of the transition from the earth to the wind in this line from the lower left corner to the upper left corner, and the place where you fell should be the intersection of the two places. ”
"Earth, Tempest?" Jiuxia didn't understand, as a well-behaved high school student before, he didn't have any other hobbies except reading time-traveling fantasy novels, and he didn't even delve into the occult knowledge related to it, and who knew that this was really useful!?
"The elements represented by the positions of the fulcrum of the pentagram are, under normal circumstances, clockwise the ethereal spirit that represents the spiritual soul, the water that communicates all things, the fire that represents the blood and essence, the earth that represents the body container, and the wind that represents the fate of life and death. ”
"The ancient tree I met is terrible. The knowledge about the occult in Qing Huan's mind was also remembered by him.
The pentagram, the seal of King Solomon, has the strongest effect of sealing demons, and the five intersections of its lines are considered to be the doors that can seal and close the demons, and the demons can be sealed in the pentagonal shape in the middle of the pentagram, but, since it is a sealing door composed of elements, if you want to achieve the situation of sealing for 30 million years without accidents, you must have continuous spiritual support, and the place where the required items are placed is undoubtedly its five vertices, if you need each fulcrum to provide power, then the ancient tree you saw is likely to be one of the fulcrums, but, according to Xiao Xuetong later, the ancient tree has been moved, Assuming that this pentagram is used to seal something, then in this way, does it mean that the sealing array has been destroyed?
Qing Huan informed Cang Wei of his speculations and worries, and Jiu Xia also thought of the monster he had encountered that was called Xu Dra, and also told Cang Wei, of course, deliberately concealed the child he was holding, after all, after going through so much, Su Jiuxia also began to understand the experience of how many words to say on what occasion.
"You... It's really, it's a catastrophe and you won't die!" Zhang Lingjin was stunned when he heard those experiences, and he felt that he was lucky, and hugged the thigh of the great god of Baimo City, if he met the situation of these two people, no matter how high his medical skills were, I am afraid that he would not be able to bring himself back to life after dying several times.
"This is a two-position composite pentagram array, the upper layer is a large pentagram array, and the lower layer is a pentagonal spirit array connected to the upper layer, if you meet Xudra in that place in Jiuxia, it doesn't make sense, Xudra, which symbolizes the water level, should be on the upper layer like a blood amber tree that symbolizes status. Cang Wei thought very seriously, "Unless..."
Cang Wei's face suddenly became a little worried, "Maybe it's a trap, it's too bad, I have to find Brother Xianyue quickly." ”
"What's wrong?" everyone asked, what made this enforcer's Tsukiyomi so anxious.
"Remnant Array Hidden Gu, I've only seen this situation in the literature, and I haven't tried it yet, but judging from this situation, it's very similar. ”
"Remnant Array Hidden Gu, what is it?" Neither Gu Qinghuan nor Fang Shuanghua had ever heard of it, let alone others, but they didn't have a good feeling when they heard this name.
"It's one of the early offbeat techniques that fused Eastern Feng Shui and Western magic arrays, Jiuxia, have you encountered anything strange below except for Xu Dela. Cang Wei turned to Su Jiuxia and asked.
"Very... Does it matter?"
"Well, because, most likely, it's something sealed by this remnant. Cang Wei Zhengse, judging from Qing Huan's description, the blood amber tree has far exceeded their current cognitive level, and the alien beast that is confined to the lower level is actually Xu Dera, and the others can generally feel that it will not be a simple thing without guessing, and the supporting role is still like this, then the main one...
"I'm sorry, but I was rescued by Ciel without seeing anything, and then I ran into the man who attacked us. Su Jiuxia had an inexplicable feeling for the child he was holding, which he and Xi'er rescued together, as if looking at her, as if Xi'er was still by his side.
Just as Gu Qinghuan concealed that the ancient tree was taken away by another person who pretended to be Lin Xinyue for Lin Xinyue's sake, Su Jiuxia, who mainly thought emotionally, also chose to hide it from the outside world.
"It shouldn't be, if there is a spatial distortion phenomenon, then the lower seal should have been awakened and is trying to break through the seal, there should be some prohibition there, it's good that it hasn't been triggered, if the seal is unlocked, then the things in the upper seal should also wake up. Cang Wei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"What the hell is going on? can you explain it more clearly at once..."Gu Qinghuan heard in a fog.
"The remnant array hidden Gu is to deliberately reduce the placement of one power fulcrum at the five power fulcrums, which will cause the seal to be incomplete, so that the power of the seal can flow out for the use of the arrayer, but in this way, it is possible to destroy the original seal. Cang Wei drew on the ground again, she was a well-deserved world-class master in terms of formation patterns, even in Fang Shuanghua's opinion, there was no one in her organization who knew such a comprehensive understanding of formation patterns.
"Therefore, the second hidden array containing feng shui skills, that is, the compound array located below, is designed in this way, because there is a lack of one, so the sealing power is incomplete, so under normal circumstances, the upper seal is an item that can have the power of connecting the four directions, so that the five spiritual power paths required for the seal are formed, and the compound array below is what really needs to be sealed, so that the spiritual power of the entire formation can be used at any time without problems, and once there is a problem with the sealing array, then, the lower sealed object will in turn swallow up the power fulcrum of the upper layer, and then it will be assimilated into the sealing array, that is, in this way, it forms a circular seal that seals itself, and it is a death formation that can never come out if it does not die. ”
"How can this guy know so much, his IQ should not be low. Zhang Lingjin silently looked at Cangwei in the sixteenth night, anyway, he couldn't understand this, and his thoughts drifted to strange places again.
"Interesting, can you estimate our location and how to get out?" Fang Shuanghua asked.
"We should be here, the place we just came over in front should be the place where the upper layer is sealed, this is a death array, if you want to get out, the only way to get out is to erase the upper layer of the seal before the lower layer of the seal has not devoured the power fulcrum, but think about it, this power will be very terrifying. Cang Wei didn't expect that she would become such a scene when she was discussing and discussing, where is Brother Xianyue now?
"Speaking of people with terrifying powers, you forgot that we have another one. Zhang Lingjin pointed in the direction he came.
Bai Mo Cheng, yes, how could I forget this little witch, if she is here, the odds will be much greater! Gu Qinghuan still has an inexplicable sense of security about Bai Mo Cheng's power, but she should be fine now, but what about the other people?
In the end, they unified their opinions, first went to find Bai Mo City, and then found their people and then went to the Sealed Land together, and Fang Shuanghua's side, the value comparison between the knight's sword and Bai Mo City, as far as the information he had, the knight's sword should be discarded.
But......
"Ling Jin, are you sure it's in this direction?Why haven't you seen anyone after walking for so long?" "I didn't see anyone after walking for nearly an hour, but according to Ling Jin, they only left Mocheng for twenty minutes, even if they were a little farther away because they were running, they should have seen and recognized it in thirty minutes, Qinghuan looked around, "It's strange, why isn't Mocheng here, Lingjin, are you from here?"
"Maybe they've gone somewhere else. Zhang Lingjin had no choice but to answer like this, God knows where the little witch of Baimo City will be, she is always the only one looking for others, how can someone else find her.
"Report to the team leader, there's a discovery ahead. "Ethan, who was sent out by Fang Shuanghua to explore the way, came back to report.
"Found someone?" Fang Shuanghua asked.
"No, it's something on the rocks. Ethan responded, "Something I've never seen before." ”
