Chapter 232: Wufang Prison
Early the next morning, as soon as Xie Zhongyuan walked out of the tent, he let out a heart-rending shout, and Su Qiubai hurriedly followed him out of the tent when he heard the sound, but saw that he was just frightened by the corpse of the monster.
Xie Zhongyuan covered his eyes and squatted on the ground, pointed to the location of the corpse with one hand and shouted, "This is too scary, Brother Su, why are you still here!" β
Su Qiubai smiled maliciously: "This thing is also a rare thing, I thought that you must have never seen such a rare thing when you are so big, so I will keep it for you to see, and when you go out in the future, you can brag to others that you have seen such a powerful thing!" β
Xie Zhongyuan almost didn't cry: "Brother Su, don't play with me, I won't think about this kind of thing if I don't see it in my life." No wonder my friend was scared to death by it, this dead one alone almost scared me to death! β
Su Qiubai saw that he was really scared, so he didn't tease him anymore, turned around and walked to the abandoned tent not far away, found a broken blanket, threw it on the corpse, covered most of it, and then said to Xie Zhongyuan: "Okay, I'll cover it." I said, you're a big man, how can you be scared like this by something that's already dead? Don't be afraid of others laughing at you when you say it. β
Xie Zhongyuan first glanced out from between his fingers, and saw that it was indeed covered, then he opened his eyes and stood up, and said with a sad face: "I can be said to have experienced several life-and-death moments in just a few days, and now my psychology is more fragile than glass, Brother Su, don't test me, I still want to leave this Kunlun Mountain alive." β
Su Qiubai put away his jokes, returned to the tent and took out the Xuankong Gold Plate, preparing to immediately set off to find the Formation Eye.
In addition to being a magic weapon, this Xuankong Gold Plate is also a compass, which is used to find dragon points and judge the direction, which is much stronger than the ordinary compass.
At this time, the pointer on the Xuankong Golden Plate kept jumping back and forth, and after Su Qiubai injected spiritual power into it for a long time, the pointer finally designated a direction.
Su Qiubai walked in the direction pointed by the Xuankong Golden Plate, and after walking a few hundred meters away, the pointer of the Xuankong Golden Plate suddenly spun rapidly.
It seemed that he had already reached the eye of the formation, Su Qiubai stopped, sat on the spot, and began to use his divine sense to explore the surroundings, and after a while, he really found that there was an abnormal fluctuation in the spiritual power underground, which seemed to be buried something.
He walked in a hurry, and without the tools of digging, he wrote down the route and returned to the tent the way he came. Xie Zhongyuan saw that he was holding an ice axe and a sapper shovel and left, guessing that he had already made a discovery, so he had to follow him, Su Qiubai had no choice but to take him with him.
When he came to the eye of the array, Su Qiubai first circled the area where the eye of the array was located on the ground with a sapper shovel, and then started to excavate, but the ice had been frozen hard for many years, and the deeper he dug, the more he couldn't move, Su Qiubai had to throw down the sapper shovel and threw a fireball towards the snow.
Su Qiubai dug for a while, Xie Zhongyuan volunteered to step forward for him, and the two of them dug back and forth for more than an hour, and finally saw what Su Qiubai wanted.
First of all, the sapper shovel in Xie Zhongyuan's hand poked a hard thing, Su Qiubai was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly took the shovel and dug it out himself, it turned out to be a stone carving, which was engraved with a kind of quaint text, but Su Qiubai didn't know it. Because of its age, this thing seems to have a spirituality, and Su Qiubai felt the profound spiritual power contained in it when he held it in his hand.
The carving of this stone carving is a little rough, but it can still be seen that it is the shape of a sheep, Su Qiubai's heart moved when he saw this, could it be that formation?
However, this array alone can't explain anything, and after Su Qiubai wrote down the appearance of the stone carving, he put it back and prepared to bury it as it was.
"Brother Su, what are you doing here? We went to such great lengths to dig it out, why did you put it back again? Xie Zhongyuan asked puzzled.
Su Qiubai replied while filling in the soil: "My purpose is just to know what kind of formation this is, not to break this formation, just dig it out and take a look, there is no need to destroy it." β
At this time, Xie Zhongyuan was a little anxious, and said, "If we don't crack this formation, how can we get out?" β
Su Qiubai simply threw the sapper shovel to him and said, "You just listen to me and bury it, what are you afraid of with me?" β
Xie Zhongyuan thought about it, seeing that Su Qiubai was so confident, he must be able to leave without breaking the formation. Thinking of this, Xie Zhongyuan no longer hesitated, and buried his head and hummed to fill in the pit.
After doing this, Su Qiubai did not plan to return to the camp, but took the Xuankong Gold Plate to find the next array.
With the lessons of the past, the things that followed were much simpler, and Su Qiubai already had some eyebrows in his heart, so it didn't take long for this second array to be found and dug out by him.
This time, it was still a stone carving, but it took the shape of a snake.
After finding the second array eye, Su Qiubai confirmed his previous guess, this formation he really knew, it was the long-lost Five Spirits Soul Locking Array, there were five array eyes, each array eye was buried with the animal bones corresponding to the array eye, and the stone carving was used to suppress the bones, trapping the spirits of the five beasts in the formation eye, and the formation was completed. Su Qiubai knew that if he continued to dig down in the place where the stone carving was dug out, he would definitely be able to dig out the snake bones, but in that case, the feng shui of this formation would be broken, so he did not continue to dig deeper, but buried the stone carving again as before.
This time, Su Qiubai did not continue to look for the next formation, but returned directly to the tent.
Sitting in the tent, Su Qiubai carefully recalled what he had read in ancient books. Xie Zhongyuan saw him sitting there with a solemn expression, so he didn't dare to bother, just sat quietly on the side, peeking at Su Qiubai.
Although this Five Spirits Soul Locking Array can be used as a separate formation, at this time and now, it is only one of the sub-formations of a huge ancient formation, and the name of this ancient formation, if Su Qiubai remembers correctly, should be called Wufang Town Prison, which is composed of five different sub-formations, which is an extremely strong guardian formation.
The five sub-arrays of the Five Directions Prison have different effects, namely the Phantom Array, the Trapped Array, the Killing Array, the Hidden Array, and the Boundary Array.
Su Qiubai and Xie Zhongyuan were not badly lucky, they encountered the trapped formation, but they were just trapped in it, and there were no other dangers, as for that monster, it was just an unlucky ghost trapped in it. If they encounter a killing array, it will be much more dangerous, and if they are not careful, their lives will be in danger, and even if they cultivate high, they may not be able to escape. The function of the phantom array is to make the entrants hallucinate, different people may have different hallucinations, but in the final analysis, its purpose is to prevent people from entering the place guarded by this array, and the people who enter the phantom array may be guided by the illusion to die, or they may escape by luck, so this array is not a fierce array.
The effect of the hidden array is similar to the method of blinding, and those who encounter this array will also be troubled by ghosts hitting the wall, but it is different from the trapped array, which traps people in the array, and the hidden array blocks people out of the array, and this array is the least dangerous sub-array.
As for the boundary array, this is the reason why Xie Zhongyuan traveled through time and space. The principle of this array has been lost thousands of years ago, and because it is too profound, no one in later generations can break through it, and I can't imagine that it can be seen with my own eyes in the deep mountains of Kunlun. Most of those who strayed into this formation would disappear for no reason, in fact, they fell into the turbulence of time and space, although it seemed to be nothing, but it was the most weird and dangerous sub-array of the five formations. Once ordinary people enter this formation, it is difficult to have a chance to come out again, but I don't know what shit luck Xie Zhongyuan has taken, and he can get away with it.
Su Qiubai told Xie Zhongyuan about this, and he was dumbfounded when he heard it, and couldn't help but sigh that he was so lucky, it must be a great disaster and a blessing in the future, and he was suddenly happy and afraid, and finally calmed down.
Now that we have figured out what kind of formation this is, all that remains is to study the method of cracking, and it is not easy to crack it without destroying it.
When he is trapped in the formation, his five senses will be disturbed by the formation, so he can't find the correct escape route, but this is nothing to Su Qiubai, he only needs to lay out a simple formation, and then with the guidance of the Xuankong Golden Plate, he can leave the Five Spirits Soul Locking Array.
The formation that Su Qiubai wants to deploy is called the Three-Yuan Condensing Array, this formation has a peculiar place, that is, it is directly distributed on the human body, and the function is to strengthen the five senses of the person who arranges the formation, so that it is not confused by external objects, it is not a difficult formation, but it is just suitable for cracking the five spirit soul locking array.
Su Qiubai took out the silver needle and stabbed it at the wrist and eyebrows of his hands, as the eyes of the array, and just like that, he took the three silver needles and walked forward with the Xuankong Gold Plate. Xie Zhongyuan, who was on the side, couldn't help but laugh when he saw the silver needle in his eyebrows, because this picture looked really funny.
Su Qiubai turned his head and glared at Xie Zhongyuan, he finally managed to hold back a smile, picked up Su Qiubai's big backpack, and followed.
With the assistance of the Concentration Array, coupled with the Xuankong Golden Plate in his hand, it didn't take long for Su Qiubai to take Xie Zhongyuan out of the Five Spirits Soul Locking Array.
This method of cracking seems to be easy, but Su Qiubai is completely thanks to the ancient books that are not passed down from the Su family, if someone else, even if it is a peerless master, or even a formation master, knows a little less about this ancient formation, he will not be able to find a way to crack it.
Xie Zhongyuan, who was out of the formation, glanced back, it was this ancient formation that indirectly took the lives of his friends, there are too many mysterious things in this world that are not known to people, and he rashly talks about adventures without understanding anything, at this time, it seems that he was too naΓ―ve back then. After experiencing this catastrophe, Xie Zhongyuan cherished his life more than before, and understood the meaning of life, and he no longer wanted to waste time on those illusory things.
