A034: Genmon Labyrinth

The ship, along with the Xuanlin, which was constantly combining and diverting, followed the two unhurriedly. Wu Xiaowu excitedly turned on the "100,000 whys" mode, Aunt Tang was annoyed by the question, grabbed two more handfuls of melon seeds and gave them to him, and talked about it in detail when she got to the apartment.

"Auntie, I really know you today......! Hehe, blame me for having no eyes and not knowing the true face of Lushan! Actually, you are a soul envoy among human beings, right?" Wu Xiaowu was very happy now, not only did he find out the ins and outs of the senior's matter, but he could also get Aunt Tang'er's help with his true identity against the sky, and he felt that he was ten points more confident.

"You've only lived for a few years, how many things can you see when you're old, if it weren't for your uncle, I would have let the soil eat it a long time ago. In a lifetime, there are many things that cannot be imagined. Aunt Tang calmly and concisely told Wu Xiaowu what happened to her back then, how Uncle Tang strengthened her spiritual energy with the spiritual energy of the soul envoy, and Uncle Tang's help and guidance to her and what she had learned.

She usually doesn't care much about people, and in the minds of students, she is an ordinary housewife-like role, but tonight she changed her usual disguise and hidden, and actually had a bit of childlike fun and young people's playfulness, and when she summoned Lingzhou with snapping her fingers and thoughts, her face still revealed a sense of pride like an "old lady". Coupled with the frank disclosure of his life experience, Wu Xiaowu felt a lot closer to her.

Walking to the school gate, the security guard on duty in the doorman's mailroom was watching the ball game, Aunt Tang stepped forward and knocked on the window, the security guard brother suddenly stood up, stood up very respectfully, and opened the door for the two, during which he didn't say a word, and he didn't dare to look at them directly.

Tonight's Wu Xiaowu was even more proud than when he first accepted the soul scepter, it was the first time he walked out of the school gate with such a swagger, followed by such a magnificent and mysterious behemoth. The gate of the school was in front of Lingzhou, but it looked small and ugly. He really wanted to wake up the whole school and let everyone come to see how he was doing.

"It's too awesome, auntie, that security guard just now, shouldn't it be our own people?"

"That's not it, since I arrived at school with your uncle, I have cast a lifelong imprint on many people involved. Absolutely obedient, selectively forgotten, your uncle sometimes has a big heart. In the past, there was an old security guard here, and as long as we were within 500 meters of him, his brand would make him nap. Later, Lao Hu retired, and he was a very good person. ”

"Oh! Then the imprint of this security guard just now, I looked at his eyes and actions, I should have seen the soul refining...... No, it should be the kind of person who sees the scepter and fears the other person and obeys it absolutely?"

Aunt Tang squinted at him with a smile, "For you who is so smart, your uncle didn't choose the wrong person." Saying that, she suddenly grabbed Wu Xiaowu's wrist, "It's too thin, eat more and practice stronger, otherwise you will be like a chicken." ”

"It hurts, it hurts, auntie, you lighten it!" Wu Xiaowu seemed to have an extra vice on his wrist, he never knew that Aunt Tang had such strength, and he didn't know if it was originally like this, or because of the spiritual effect of the soul envoy, Aunt Tang let go, he rubbed his wrist and said, "I can't help it, just such a physique, I'm afraid there are worms in my stomach." ”

"The noodle worm in Wu Xie's stomach?" Aunt Tang said after swallowing the last one, clapping her hands.

Wu Xiaowu smiled: "You also watch! I thought you liked to watch your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fight, by the way, when I watched the episode of Bugs, I was so dead with the monkeys, I was eating udon, I was disgusting!"

"Okay, then again, how did you negotiate with that kid in the water room? What the hell is going on with him? As far as I know in the past few years, the entire Chongjiang City can be used as a prisoner soul center, and it is Li Jingguang's dog thing, how did he provoke him?"

Wu Xiaowu took a deep breath and relayed everything he found to Aunt Tang without reservation.

After listening, Aunt Tang couldn't help but sigh again, saying that Xiao Tang shouldn't use the most extreme way, he chose to commit suicide at such a young age, and his name and surname are still Uncle Tang's own family, which can be regarded as a kind of fate, no matter what, I have to help him and so on.

While speaking, the two had arrived at the Rongyuan Apartment, Aunt Tang snapped her fingers again, and the majestic Lingzhou stopped outside the apartment. Going up to the second floor, Wu Xiaowu opened the door, and Aunt Tang walked straight to the bedroom, entered through the closet very skillfully, and came to the back door of the warehouse room on the first floor through the secret passage.

When Wu Xiaowu opened the door again, he asked, "What are you doing here?" Uncle Tang took me past last time, and I haven't gone down since. ”

"Silly, aren't you curious about what's going on in the spirit boat?"

"Clams?!Can I go in?!Really?!"

"Be quiet!"

Wu Xiaowu closed the back door of the warehouse, and the two walked around from behind the filing cabinet, and Aunt Tang read out a combination password that he was very unfamiliar with, which was also completely different from all the password rules he had mastered. What surprised him even more was that in the old dusty storage room, several black lines appeared, forming a pentagon perpendicular to the ground in front of the two of them!

Subsequently, every time Aunt Tang recited a sentence, a linear pentagonal energy state appeared, which formed a concentric pentagonal combination structure in the order of black, white, red, yellow and green, like the longitudinal section of a granary. This is also the first time since Wu Xiaowu became a soul refiner that in addition to the black Xuan line, there are also red prison lines, and other three-color energy lines that I don't know what to do.

At this moment, Wu Xiaowu suddenly understood why Uncle Tang wanted to arrange a secret passage in the storage room of this apartment, and further speculated that Uncle Tang came to Chongjiang City and contracted a series of arrangements such as this apartment, maybe it was for this thing!

"What's going on, it's really good-looking!" Wu Xiaowu leaned over and looked at the layers of energy lines.

Aunt Tang finally didn't need to lower her voice anymore, and said in a normal volume: "Xiao Wu, the Xuanxian itself is a part of the spiritual realm and the universe, and it has existed since the beginning. Its ontology is wonderful, and the Xuanxian has five phases and five uses, that is, the other four energy lines evolved from the black Xuanxian itself, as well as their respective functions. ”

"I look at the ones outside, most of them penetrate the whole world, the bottom may have gone underground, and the top extends beyond the atmosphere, it feels boundless, even if some are horizontal and oblique, it is also the intersection of the two ends and other Xuanlin, this kind of five kinds of things come out at once, and they are still suspended independently, I have never seen it!"

Aunt Tang said with a smile: "Don't talk about you, your uncle and I have seen no more than a dozen of them nationwide over the years, and the total number of what we have seen overseas is no more than a hundred." ”

"Overseas, have you traveled the world before?"

"This ...... You'll know later, it's a long story. Aunt Tang changed the topic, "The pentagonal combination formed by the five energy lines is called 'Xuanmen', and among the living, whether it is an ordinary person or a soul refiner soul catcher, including your uncle himself, cannot enter the spirit boat, unless he becomes a spirit body. However, with the Xuanmen, the living can enter the Spirit Boat and see the truth of the Spirit Realm. ”

Wu Xiaowu was overjoyed, his heart beat faster, "Auntie, that's fast, how should I enter?

"Go straight in, or you tap and go in. Aunt Tang smiled and snapped her fingers again, although the entire room could not see the advancement of the huge triangle outside, Wu Xiaowu knew that this was the rhythm of Aunt Tang'er's spirit boat coming in.

Wu Xiaowu smiled and said: "It's better for you first, you are an elder, I am not familiar with this life, so I bother my aunt to show me the way." He didn't know what the situation would be on the other side of this Xuanmen, and he was a little timid in his heart, but he couldn't wait to satisfy his curiosity.

Soon, the spirit boat outside the apartment slowly sailed in, and with the help of the passage to the underground, most of the hull was submerged to the surface, and after gradually adjusting, the deck of the spirit boat was just parallel to the bottom of the Xuanmen. Because this spirit boat was too big, the other parts were all integrated and overlapped with the surrounding walls and roofs, and all Wu Xiaowu could see was only the part of the bow of the ship.

Aunt Tang suddenly frowned, stared at him and asked, "Do you know Muggles?"

"Ah, Harry Potter? ”

"Then you know the sack, don't you?"

"Clams, haven't heard of it, what do you mean?"

"It's a bag that looks like a hemp pole. After Aunt Tang finished speaking, she entered the Xuanmen without looking back.

Before Wu Xiaowu could roll his eyes, Aunt Tang had already passed through the Xuanmen, turned around again, and was standing on the deck of the spirit boat. The moment she turned around, she had turned into a stunned appearance!

Aunt Tang was wearing the black mist robe of the soul envoy all over her body, and the shape was complex and exaggerated, reminding Wu Xiaowu of some character costumes in online games, but unlike the soul envoy, Aunt Tang'er's face and hands were still normal human skin, but on the edges of her face and hands, there was a thick flow of black smoke.

Wu Xiaowu didn't dare to say something in his mouth: "Auntie, you seem to be burnt...... he was in awe, and the moment he penetrated the Xuanmen, it seemed that something invisible had stopped, even if everything around him had not changed, but he could feel in his heart the dead silence and loneliness after passing through the Xuanmen.

Remembering the last time he summoned the soul envoy, he still sneaked it when the spirit boat appeared, but it was just like a slightly repulsive black mist, and at this moment, the deck of the spirit boat was at his feet, making him feel a solid touch.

Aunt Tang turned around and said, "Let's go, take you in and have a look." ”

"Auntie, you are really ...... It's really a cow! It's so cool! It's just Aunt Niu!" Wu Xiaowu trotted to the front, and saw that Aunt Tang had a hat or hood or something like that behind her back, he reached out and pinched it, and the touch on his finger belly seemed to be touching something like jelly and silk. "Passing through the Xuanmen, it seems that the things that didn't seem to be physical before, have become real, huh?"

"Yes, just like your consciousness projection body in the space-time sphere, they can touch each other, but it's not the same, because you enter as a living body, and you try to touch your heart. ”

The two of them walked through the wall on the deck, and walked out of the warehouse room to the corridor outside, and in front of them was the black smoke-shaped three-story building, that is, the cabin of the spirit boat, blocked by the opposite wall and ceiling, and all they could see was a small part of the two doors in the middle of the first floor of the cabin.

Wu Xiaowu covered his heart, checked his pulse, and tested his snort, "Auntie, the heartbeat, pulse and breathing have stopped, so ...... Are there any side effects? And we're like we are, so people can't see or hear it, right?"

"When you come in, it's like a spirit, and if others can't see it, it doesn't matter if you sing. But not more than a day and night, and before we go out after twenty-four hours, we will all die here and become real spirits. Aunt Tang stretched out her arm and pointed her palms at the two doors, the golden light of the soul scepter flickered for a moment, and the door of the cabin slowly opened with a sound like a metal door.

"Didn't Uncle fuse the soul envoy with your spiritual energy? you can't do it for more than a day?" Wu Xiaowu looked at the two doors, retracted to the left and right, and an open road with a visual material like white jade appeared, and it was shrouded in a fog of red light.

"That's not it, no matter how you fuse, the essence is still a human and not a ghost! Go in, do you have the courage to go ahead this time?"

Wu Xiaowu smirked: "Then what don't you dare, there is 'Aunt Niu'er', I am absolutely relieved!" Seeing that Aunt Tang didn't move, staring at him with a smile, Wu Xiaowu had no choice but to enter the door hard.

The pavement under the feet is white and flawless, there are ripple-like five-color ripples surging forward, the width of the pavement is consistent with the gate, the visual inspection is about more than 20 meters, both sides of the jade road are bottomless dark abysses, in the fog ahead, there seem to be a lot of criss-crossing steps and buildings, but the fog is too thick to see clearly.

Hearing the sound of the metal door behind him again, Wu Xiaowu turned around and saw that the door behind Aunt Tang was slowly closing, and the wall where the door was located turned out to be a half-arc in the air, and the red light that illuminated the fog came from the left and right sides of the gate, with a huge horse lantern hanging on each side, and he felt that each lamp was as high as the gate of the school.

"Auntie, it seems to be bigger inside than the outside, and it looks boxy from the outside, how can it be like a pillar inside?" he watched as the closed door merged with the curved wall, mottled and heavy, like a black iron wall.

Aunt Tang stepped forward, "When I first came in, I also thought it was incredible, and later I found that the space inside the spirit boat cannot be speculated by the shape and volume of the appearance, these should all come from the designers." The inside of my spirit boat is actually a cylindrical structure, but there is no edge up and down, which is quite difficult to understand, and this road is suspended in the middle of the cylinder space. ”

"Front...... It seems that there are other houses and roads?" Wu Xiaowu rubbed his eyes and fanned the wind in front of him, wanting to wave away the dense fog.

"Youta, please present the best visuals. Aunt Tang said to the sky.

Wu Xiaowu said in surprise: "Young Tower, why is it also here?" At the same time, the two horse lanterns, which were hazy and unclear about the essence of the light source, suddenly turned the gloomy red light into a dazzling white light, as if there was a small sun on each side of the gate.

"The young tower originally belonged to the Spirit Department," Aunt Tang said again, "Young tower, please change the visual costume for Mr. Wu." ”

Soon, the white T-shirt and light blue shirt on Wu Xiaowu's body, as well as the jeans and canvas shoes underneath, were replaced with a black mist cloak from top to bottom, which suddenly made him look a lot more powerful and strong.

Wu Xiaowu touched the silky and silky "clothes" on his body, and really wanted to look in the mirror and be narcissistic. At the same time, he also found that Aunt Tang gave the order twice, but he didn't get a reply like "okay" and "no problem" when he ordered the young tower to do something before, it seems that the young tower in Aunt Tang's spiritual boat is a little cold. "Is this the young tower I know?"

"One is innumerable, countless is one, the young tower is the same as the human consciousness, with the same ontology, different carriers, although it serves different soul envoys and soul refiners, but in the final analysis, it is the same, let's go, find a room to sit down and say. ”

The strong light source behind him made it impossible for Wu Xiaowu to turn back, the fog in front of him retreated to the surroundings, and with the footsteps of the two of them, the space in the spirit boat gradually became clear and clear - sure enough, as Aunt Tang said, Wu Xiaowu felt that he was standing in a large iron pillar that reached the sky and the earth at the moment, and there were many strange symbols, graphic carvings on the inner surface of the cylinder, which looked like it should be decorated.

Walking on the edge of the jade road without a guardrail, he felt a little dizzy, the pillar seemed to extend infinitely to the sky and underground, the light of Rao is the horse lantern was so dazzling, but as far as his eye could see, the top and bottom of the pillar were hidden in the terrible darkness.

Fortunately, with the jade road as the central axis, there are many criss-crossing step passages, forming an ant-nest labyrinthine structure in the space left and right, up and down the jade road. At the intersection of different jade steps, there are many suspended black sphere houses, each of which has one to four circular entrances, and under the illumination of the light source, the visual material on the surface looks a bit like obsidian.

"This is too handsome, Aunt Tang, what are these big stone balls for? Are we going inside?" He looked at the sides and up and down, there were hundreds of this kind of sphere houses, not to mention the hundreds, thinking that the Lingzhou was originally the mobile office of the Soul Envoy and the Spirit Department, guessing that there might be a lot of black technology equipment from the Spirit Department in these rooms.

Aunt Tang led him up to the left of the jade road, a nearby jade staircase, leading to a black sphere high in the air in front of him.

"Of course, compared to the human world outside, the security and secrecy are absolute. ”

Wu Xiaowu followed closely behind Aunt Tang, each step of the jade step was not high, but for the first time in his life, walking on this kind of narrow road built in the air and without protective facilities, every step seemed difficult and heavy, and he couldn't help but look at the space below on the left and right, under the equally complicated labyrinth structure below, was the dark abyss. He just felt dizzy in his head!

"If I fall, will I die? What is the situation at the bottom? Auntie, have you been to see it?"

Aunt Tang said idly: "The only way to verify the truth is to practice it yourself." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and pushed Wu Xiaowu's shoulder.

Wu Xiaowu was defenseless at all, he fell backwards suddenly, watching Aunt Tang'er's smiling face quickly move away, screaming and falling into the darkness. This process lasted for tens of seconds, and there was an even thicker fog in the depths below the cylinder space, until the strong light of the two horse lanterns also disappeared into darkness, making him completely lost in the process of falling.

Unprecedented dizziness, emptiness, helplessness, nausea of turning the stomach upside down.

At the moment when he felt that he was about to "die", suddenly his whole body was agitated, and his eyes suddenly brightened. After adapting to the sudden darkness and light, he opened his eyes and found himself lying near the junction of the wide jade path and the narrow jade staircase just now, and when he was still in shock, he still felt as if he was still falling, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare.

At this time, Aunt Tang stood on the jade steps that had pushed him down just now, looking down at him and laughing loudly.
