Chapter 394: Trapped!
This passage is not wide, the height is at most two meters, and the width is only more than one meter, and the layers of stone steps wind upward, and the steps are slippery because they are soaked in water all year round.
Judging by the direction, Liu Lian's current direction is to the east of Shuitan, that is, to the hinterland of the mountain range at the eastern foot of Longtan Mountain.
Longtan Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, and the main peak is the Longming Peak where the Longming Pavilion used to be, and the Dongling Peak, which was once trapped by the Nine Palaces and Eighteen Star Formations under the dust, and is next to the waters of the Qinghe River.
Longtan County is built in a small basin surrounded by the mountains of Longtan Mountain, which is alluvial by the Qinghe River, and it is precisely because of this that the sudden flood of the Qinghe River last time can cause great panic to Longtan County.
After all, the small basin of the county seat is not high, only the suburbs are higher next to the mountains.
And out of Longtan is located in the east of the town, is built in the east of Longtan County, a slightly gentle foothill edge, as for out of Longtan, according to the altitude, in fact, its water surface is much higher than the east town.
Now the direction in which Liu Lian is moving is to go to the belly of the mountain.
At this moment, Liu Lian remembered something in his heart.
"Last time, when I chased Yuan Shengzhen from Qinghe, he ran to a cave in the mountains on this side of Dongcheng Town, and now he is here again, right?"
Thinking of this, Liu Lian's face changed!
"No, there's something weird about that cave!"
It's no wonder that Liu Lian thinks so, last time he thought that Yuan Shengzhen was just running away with Xu Qingren's soul, and Liu Lian was worried that Yuan Shengzhen would destroy Xu Qingren's soul, so his spiritual sense has always locked on Yuan Shengzhen. And didn't pay attention to anything else.
So. Liu Lian didn't pay attention to the cave at all. I just thought it was an ordinary cave and didn't care.
After that, under the deterrence of the flying sword, Liu Lian successfully retrieved Xu Qingren's soul, and also extorted 20 million yuan from Yuan Shengzhen.
At that time, although Liu Lian felt that it was a little too smooth, but thinking of the power of his flying sword, Liu Lian didn't think much about it.
What's more, Yuan Shengzhen has relented, and Liu Lian has already learned about the underground cemetery from Xie Yuandong. In order to avoid startling the snake, Liu Lian did not investigate too much, and chose to temporarily let Yuan Shengzhen go, waiting for him to find the cemetery.
And now it seems that Yuan Sheng is really not convinced!
Perhaps, when the flying sword came out, Yuan Shengzhen was indeed frightened, but it is more likely that Yuan Shengzhen was worried that Liu Lian would find the secret in the cave, so he chose a strong man to break his wrist.
Now Yuan Shengzhen and they are here again. It is enough to make Liu Lian think of the connection between this!
Thinking of this, Liu Lian couldn't help but think of another thing in his mind!
"Just now at Lu Fangbing's house. Because I found that Lu Xiaolong and Xu Qingren both had the bones of the dragon trunk, plus the last time Yuan Sheng really hooked the soul of Xu Qingren, and Lu Xiaolong's soul was also lost in the Dragon Pool, I subconsciously thought that Yuan Sheng really entered through this pool. ”
"But in that case, why didn't Yuan Shengzhen run to this waterhole in the first place, but to that cave?"
"If Yuan Sheng really has a way to enter this waterhole without being fascinated, as long as he enters the waterhole, once I enter, I will definitely be fascinated by the phantom array, won't he be able to escape smoothly?"
"Yuan Shengzhen definitely didn't know that I had the ability to condense soul beads at that time, and I could sense the location of Xu Qingren's soul within a certain distance, so he must not have fled to that cave just to get rid of me, but to use Xu Qingren's soul as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night."
"In that case......" Liu Lian's face became cloudy.
"Could it be...... They didn't enter from the Dragon Pond at all, but from that cave? And the last time Yuan Sheng really escaped here, could he just want to take Xu Qingren's soul into the cave and do something? ”
Thinking of this, Liu Lian's face was a little difficult to look at.
"If it weren't for the fact that I had learned the Immovable Root Seal, and I had a new epiphany under the coincidence last time, I am afraid that I would not have been able to get out of the waterhole at all this time!"
"That's not right!" Liu Lian's brows furrowed, because he had discovered a new problem-
"If Yuan Sheng really entered from that cave, he has been following Yuan Sheng really Xie Yuandong and them, and even the masters behind them will definitely find that cave!"
"Since they can get in through that cave, they won't come here, then...... Who arranged the formation outside the waterhole? ”
Liu Lian's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, which made him puzzled.
"Will it ...... Yuan Sheng really knew the horror of the phantom array in this waterhole, and after he found out the stalker behind him, he set up a suspicious array and led Xie Yuandong and them here, so that Xie Yuandong and them thought that Yuansheng really entered from here, and then he came out of his shell? ”
Liu Lian's eyes flickered: "This is very likely, when I saw Yuan Shengzhen at that time, I felt that although he was a casual cultivator, he was not a person who didn't understand anything, on the contrary, he was very shrewd."
What's more, looking at Yuan Shengzhen's appearance, he has been planning here for a long time, even including the Qinglong Villa built by the Qinghe River, I am afraid that he is planning ......"
"Qinglong Villa, Qinghe shantytown renovation project, out of Longtan, Qinghe...... All of this seems to revolve around Qinghe......"
Liu Lian's expression suddenly became solemn: "Such a big thing, obviously that legendary cemetery is extraordinary, can it be Yuan Shengzhen alone?" ”
After analyzing these, Liu Lian suddenly felt that he had thought about things too simply.
"No, Yuan Sheng can really calculate that it is possible for Xie Yuandong and Cui Yueru, but I'm afraid Yuan Sheng really doesn't know at all, this time it is not one or two people who are eyeing him, but a force!"
Because at this moment, in Liu Lian's feelings, Xie Yuandong and Cui Yueru are not far from Yuan Shengzhen.
If they entered from the Dragon Pool, even with the help of the master behind them, it would be impossible for them to get out so quickly in this kind of phantom array, and in this way, it would be impossible for them to be so close to Yuan Shengzhen.
Thinking of this, Liu Lian lowered his head and looked behind him.
On the steps that Liu Lian walked on just now, because of the moss. Slight footprints were left behind. But it is precisely because of these footprints. Let Liu Lian understand that his guess was correct.
"Sure enough...... Not only did Yuan Shengzhen not come in from this pool, but I am afraid that Xie Yuandong and they did not come in from this pool either, otherwise, there would not be only one person's footprints here. ”
Liu Lian sighed, he was still careless, if he could be more cautious, I am afraid he would not enter the waterhole so quickly, at least he should have put his spiritual sense into the waterhole to investigate.
But Liu Lian also knows. These thoughts were just an afterthought, and at that time, they were worried that Yuan Shengzhen and they found that their spiritual sense had not spread too far, and there was a formation outside the waterhole to block it, and it was impossible for Liu Lian to go too deep.
"Now that I think about it, this Yuan Sheng is really scheming, I'm afraid he just hit this idea, and laid out the formation, in order to make the spiritual sense of the people who followed him dare not penetrate too much, so as to lure them in."
Merely. Yuan Shengzhen didn't lure Xie Yuandong and them down, but got Liu Lian in.
If Yuan Sheng really knew about this. I don't know if I'll laugh out loud.
"I'll just say...... There is such a complex and hidden illusion in this waterhole, how could they see through it so quickly, and through here, no one came in......" Liu Lian's heart was full of resentment.
…………
At this time, Yuan Sheng, who had arranged all this, really stood at the edge of an empty space, looking at the scene in front of him in amazement, as if he was deeply shocked.
It is a large space of 1,000 square meters, and the surrounding walls and roof, as well as the floor, are covered with blue bricks.
The bricks fit together to form the outline of this large space, but the space is not the square shape of the room, but the circle.
That's right, it's round!
If you zoom it out, it looks like a thick and flat cylindrical space, in which there are twelve pillars, and the pillars are also made of cyan square bricks.
Not only that, but the twelve pillars are also in a circle.
If measured with a ruler, the distance from the wall of the ring to the center of the circle is exactly twice the distance from the twelve pillars to the center of the circle.
That is, the column is exactly halfway from the center of the circle to the wall.
Such a regular and majestic building is naturally nothing now, but looking at the appearance of this green brick being eroded by the years, you know that the years are not short, at least hundreds, or even thousands of years.
At that time, it was unthinkable for Yuan Shengzhen to be able to build such a building, and it was completely beyond his cognition.
Of course, it's not just Motomori alone.
Beside Yuan Shengzhen, in addition to the middle-aged man in his fifties who he went to find last time, there was also a young man in his thirties.
The expressions of the two of them at the moment were similar to Yuan Shengzhen's, except that the young man's expression was a little calmer.
Not only that, this young man is standing between Yuan Shengzhen and the other middle-aged man, and it is obvious that this young man is the main among the three.
After a while, the young man said:
"Master Yuan, what do you think we should do next?"
Yuan Sheng Zhen came back to his senses, bowed slightly and said: "Feng Shao, according to the atlas you gave me before, it should be almost there after you get here, but now there is no way, so I can only find a way from here." ”
Yuan Shengzhen looked around and muttered: "Look at the layout of this space, the twelve pillars are secretly combined with the twelve earth branches, and although the wall is built into a ring, it can still be distinguished if you look closely, the wall is ten-sided, and a ten-sided shape is constructed, so it is naturally ten days to dry." ”
"Thinking about it, this is another formation, but it borrows the qi of the leylines, and adds the power of heaven and earth to urge it, forming the current situation."
Yuan Sheng Zhen looked at this young man and said, "As long as you find out the nodes in it, it shouldn't be difficult to break this formation." As long as you break this place, you should be able to find that thing. ”
The young man nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then it's troublesome for Mr. Yuan." ”
Although he said that it was troublesome, there was no expression of gratitude on the young man's face, as if Yuan Sheng really did these things for him to take for granted.
And Yuan Shengzhen didn't have any impatience, and said with a smile: "It should be." ”
After speaking, Yuan Shengzhen turned his head, looked carefully again for a moment, and then stepped out!
But at this moment, Yuan Shengzhen's expression changed, because the scene in front of him changed instantly, and the vast space and the twelve pillars all disappeared! (To be continued.) )
