Chapter 80: A Strange Cycle
The environment of the Lingbao Pagoda is extremely quiet, and the echo is also loud, no matter how light our movements are, we can hear the sound of our footsteps, which is a little irritating to the eardrums like beating a muffled drum.
The vision is quite clear, and the moonlight through the window looks quite desolate.
The tailor doesn't know how many floors to wait, so we double-check for half a day every time we go up the tower, so as not to suddenly twist a big scissor head-on.
Soon, we came to the seventh floor of the Spirit Pagoda, and the position of the passage from each floor to the previous floor in the tower changed, with odd numbers on the east side and even numbers on the west side.
Ning Shuying raised her hand to stop, and I asked quietly, "What's wrong?" ”
Xu Huayan frowned slightly, and said vigilantly: "It seems a little weird." ”
Maybe it's the difference in strength, I don't have any special feelings.
"I also feel that something is wrong...... Ning Shuying took the flying knife in his hand, he squatted on the ground and swiped a few times, making a mark in the shape of a "rice", he stood up and said, "Keep walking." ”
We cheered up our spirits, stepped on the steps, and passed the eighth floor unharmed, who knew that when we came to the ninth floor, we came to the crossing to the tenth floor, Ning Shuying lowered his head, and he stopped his steps suddenly, "Don't go, it's useless." ”
I looked at him in the opposite direction of his gaze in confusion, and I was terrified. This...... Isn't this the mark he used to draw with a throwing knife when he was on the seventh floor?
How could it have reappeared on the ninth floor!
Xu Huayan tore off the hair in her hand and shook her head: "No wonder every time I go up to the floor, I always feel that the space in the tower has not changed much. ”
"What's going on?" I said with no master, the first time I saw this formation, I felt terrifying when I thought about it. After walking for most of the day, we only kept wandering between the two floors, but we clearly had the illusion that we had been going up!
"I don't know, I didn't encounter this when I came in before, it's probably a ghost made by a skin tailor." Ning Shuying's face was as calm as ever, he took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, "There is no signal." ”
I asked suspiciously: "Ning Erwu, are you sure that the word 'rice' was drawn by you before?" ”
"Hmm......" Ning Shuying shrugged her shoulders.
"Let's try to go down and see." Xu Huayan turned her head to look at the passage where we came up.
Ning Shuying nodded with me and walked with her, before leaving, I put a drop of lamp oil on the rice marker, and when I went down to the so-called eighth layer, Ning Shuying made a cross mark.
We continued down to the seventh floor, and saw the rice mark again, and when I saw the drop of lamp oil clearly, I finally believed that the moment we entered the Spirit Pagoda, we fell into an endless loop.
Xu Huayan was still a little fantasizing, so we went down two more floors, and the repeated rice mark and cross mark made her depressed pound the wall again and again.
I tried to hook the dung eaters outside the Spirit Pagoda with my mind, but I couldn't get in touch, and there was a barrier to block it.
"It seems that the hole cards of the tailor are not just puppets, how to break this weird game, you can't be trapped here." Xu Huayan crouched in the window of the daylight, "There is a black press below, and a moon hangs in the sky." ”
She tentatively stretched her hand out of the window, but she didn't expect to be blocked by the transparent barrier, and smashed it with her fist, not moving.
Ning Shuying held the cold iron flying knife engraved with lines, and charged it towards the window of lighting, to our surprise, the flying knife burst out of the window like a streamer, and this transparent barrier centered on the shooting point, stirring up circles of stripes, ripples like the surface of water.
Xu Huayan and I were stunned on the spot.
"Looking at its appearance, it's a bit like the kind of prohibition that can prevent living beings from entering and leaving." Ning Shuying walked closer, took out a cold iron flying knife, and poked it towards the window, the first half of the blade passed through easily, but when it reached the part he was holding, it was difficult to make any further progress.
"Obviously, we started to enter the game by stepping into the second floor of the Spirit Pagoda. The second and third layers are in a repeating cycle. Jiang Ming, Xiaohuahua, you wait here and don't move, I'll go to the upper floor to take a look. Ning Shuying turned around and walked up the stairs.
"Then be careful."
Xu Huayan and I waited for his figure to disappear at the entrance of the passage on this side, then turned our heads and stared intently at the entrance of the descending passage on the west side, after a while, my ears moved, and I heard the crisp sound of metal, which was the same as when the flying knife hit the wall, we looked at each other, could it be that Ning Shuying and the skin cutter were opposed?
We were hesitating to go up and investigate, when we saw him walk up to the entrance of the passageway.
Ning Shuying spread her hands, "I probably know." ”
We gathered together, and Ning Shuying analyzed: "The passage between the second and third floors is normal, and I just went in." When I reached the third floor, I came to the entrance of the passage that was supposed to lead to the fourth floor, and there was an illusion of sight in my mind without any suspense, clearly going down, but there was a feeling of going up, and this passage was a particularly long and gentle arc, turning back to the second floor, because the people in it had illusions, so I couldn't feel it. ”
"How did you find out?" I asked, confused.
"I used a throwing knife, stood at the entrance of the passage above, and threw it upward, downward, and flat, which was completely different from the trajectory of the normal throw." After Ning Shuying explained simply, he squatted on the ground and drew a simple channel model with a flying knife, and Xu Huayan and I understood it at once.
"The Skin Cutter must have made a move between the third and fourth layers of the Spirit Pagoda and circled back to the second layer." Xu Huayan thought for a long time, and said lightly, "Before we entered the Spirit Pagoda, the skin tailoring ghost was still at the top of the tower, we followed the first layer into the second layer, before entering the normal passage of the third layer, according to the suppression of the heavenly ghost by the Buddha nature of the tower body, it is impossible for it to rush down to make ghosts in such a short time, I suspect that the two-story tower body with problems has been arranged before, and the skin tailoring ghost can be triggered at any time." However, all formations have formation eyes, and destroying them can contact the effect of the formation. ”
It's really unlucky, the skin cutter not only has a powerful puppet, but also understands the formation!
We stepped into the ascending passage and came to the entrance of the ascending passage on the third floor, and the array should be near here, as long as we find it, it will be easy to say. We looked around, Rao is eyesight with Ning Shuying, and we didn't find any sense of disobedience, thinking about it, as the core of a formation, if you don't disguise it tightly, you won't be able to trap the target.
"It's the only way to do it." Ning Shuying lay on the ground, and he groped inch by inch.
Xu Huayan untied the hairband, and her hair fell in all directions, and she moved while dripping with countless strands of hair.
"Can't you pay attention to the image? Squatting on the ground is the same as Sadako, weird and scary. "I have the upper hand, I swept back and forth with the purple tribulation, and I also released the female ghost of the Seven Loves, and learned from Ning Erxiang to explore.
"Plop, plop!"
I swept more and more easily, and the dust rolled up raised Xu Huayan's face, she choked and sneezed, and scolded: "Dead beast, I've checked it here, can you go to Ning Er's side to sweep?" ”
"Got it, Sadako-san."
I carried the purple robbery five meters away and swept it patiently. We've been expanding the scope of our search, and we've cleared the ground on the third floor, but we still haven't found anything out of the ordinary. At this time, Ning Erwu stood up and said, "Jiang Ming, you are the one who takes the broom, and Qiqing is in charge of the ceiling, and Xiaohuahua and I search the wall." ”
"Uh......"
I was holding the Purple Tribulation, this time I was really tired, my left arm changed to my right arm, and it didn't take long for me to be sore. The Seven Lovers Ghost floated off the ground with her feet on her feet, faster than she could probe the ground.
It's strange to say, after sweeping the carpet, I feel like a waste of time, Xu Huayan shook her dirty hair, she glared at me: "What are you laughing at, give the old lady a serious look!" Don't pee on your own. ”
The tigress's temper triggers ......
"Sister Sadako, I've been holding back for a long time." I wiped my face and touched the belt of my pants as I said, "Do you really not mind if I just put it in the spot?" ”
Xu Huayan was so angry that her eyebrows rose up, and she yelled loudly: "Get out!" ”
"We must not be like this, as the saying goes, people have three urgency, and there is no time to delay...... "I didn't fool her, my bladder was really about to explode! Too lazy to argue with her, I ran to the corner and quickly released the water.
Xu Huayan scolded me for not having quality.
"Poof!"
At this time, there was a sudden muffled sound, as if the film had been cracked by a strange puncture, but it continued to spread in the place where the liquid flow was washed......
