Gu Qingyan and Lin Rui came all the way to the back mountain, and when they were about to move forward, Gu Qingyan suddenly stopped and said in a low voice: "You can't go forward at will." ”

Lin Rui looked at the road in front of him, and then walked in front of him was a forest, the road was not narrow, but it was not open, he was not very familiar with the two roads, so he could not move forward rashly.

Looking around, the two glanced at each other, and then each followed the path to explore the forest.

The more Lin Rui walked, the more he felt that something was wrong, this path seemed to be built around the forest, and the width was not one step more or one step less to maintain a specific distance from the forest.

Standing still, Lin Rui found a corner that seemed to be turning right, stood there, and then looked around, and suddenly his eyes locked on a junction that branched out from the path not far away and just connected to the woods.

After walking a few quick steps, I looked at the other side of the road that stretched out, and it was pitch black, and I could not perceive anything other than the sparse chirping of insects.

The tense feeling in his heart did not relax, but became more and more nervous, and he took a few steps forward, and when he saw the second path appear in front of him, the hand holding the sword tightened even more.

At the same time, if you look down at the ground from the sky, you will see that Gu Qingyan's position is exactly symmetrical to Lin Rui's position.

Gu Qingyan's face was not very good, she realized that this forest was not as simple as the trap array they had imagined before, when Bai Shu repaired the trap array, I was afraid that he directly replanned this formation and formation.

Only now on the flat ground, she couldn't determine what element Bai Shu was using.

If it is only the four directions or the five elements, she Gu Qingyan can still be very sure, and if something happens, she can rush in without any scruples.

But what she was worried about was that Bai Shu didn't care about the four directions and five elements at all, but used a more complex or superimposed formation, if this was the case, then no one would lead the way, but I was afraid that it would be easy to go and not return.

Gu Qingyan stopped walking forward, turned around, and walked down the path What will she see Gu Qingyan already knows, what she wants to figure out most now is where it should be, what is this formation.

There will be a connection between hidden weapons, poisons, and tricks, but they are not of the same origin, so even though Gu Qingyan is proficient in the use of poison and hidden weapons, he only knows a little about tricks.

She can solve the poison and hidden weapons in the mechanism, but what about the others? Will there be others?

She walked all the way back, thinking all the way, until she collided with Lin Rui, and then came back to her senses: "Senior brother." ”

Gu Qingyan is called Linrui along with Hanyan's name.

"Fourth girl, how's it going?"

Lin Rui is Gu Qingyan who is called by the other disciples of the villa.

Gu Qingyan raised her eyes, saw that Lin Rui also had a similar look to her, took a breath, opened her mouth, and before she could say anything, she felt the breath of a third person other than the two of them.

Obviously, Lin Rui also noticed it, and immediately pointed to the low grass on the side, and Gu Qingyan dodged away.

After a while, a gray figure stepped back from the direction of approaching the forest, the man staggered, but the sound of landing was still very soft, he stood firm a little, and then patted the clothes on his body.

Looking at his body shape and movements, unlike Xingchuan, Gu Qingyan shook his head at Lin Rui.

The man Xu held his breath and breathed, and soon discovered that something was wrong, and in the blink of an eye, Gu Qingyan and Lin Rui in the grass saw a sword light rushing over.

The two of them simply couldn't hide, turned over and got out of the grass, Gu Qingyan was faster, and took the lead in handing over the man in gray.

Seeing that the two of them dodged his sword, the man in gray immediately turned his wrist and flipped up in the air, and at the same time as Gu Qingyan pulled out the whip on his waist, the blade of the sword stabbed straight towards Gu Qingyan.

Gu Qingyan held the whip and dodged sideways, and his body stepped lightly to the side of the man in gray, and the figure passed by in an instant.

When the man put away his sword and turned around, Gu Qingyan was already behind him, and a whip fell, hitting him on the tip of his toe.

The "snap" of the whip was exceptionally crisp and loud, startling the birds that had fallen asleep in the forest.

"Four girls?"

"Yun Gongzi?"

Just when the two clamped each other down, because of the closer distance, they finally saw each other's faces clearly and spoke in unison.

"Why are you here?"

One took the whip and let go of the sword she was wrapping in.

One put his sword back into the scabbard, looked at the two people in front of him, and replied, "My people heard that Bai Shu had repaired the trap array, so I thought about coming over and having a look." ”

Gu Qingyan nodded, after all, the people of the Su family in Nanling are not soft rice, and it is not uncommon to hear about this.

Looking behind Yun Jichen, Lin Rui asked, "Yun Gongzi came by himself?" ”

Yun Jichen nodded, the reason for which he didn't say was that he had been used to walking alone in the rivers and lakes over the years, and he subconsciously acted alone.

"Then you came out of it?" Gu Qingyan asked.

Yun Jichen sighed helplessly: "No, I wanted to go in and explore, but when I saw this strange road outside, I stopped, and somehow, I accidentally touched something, and rows of needles came up from the ground." ”

As he spoke, Yun Jichen raised his foot and looked at the corners of his shoes and clothes, fortunately, there was no damage, and there should have been no traces.

"You must have known the news of the formation as well, right?" Yun Jichen asked.

Gu Qingyan nodded, it seems that Yun Jichen has not been able to find out anything, so it is destined to be fruitless tonight?

She was thinking, her eyes searching for a vantage point nearby to see the general shape of the trap.

Lin Rui went with Yun Jichen to see the place where Yun Jichen almost had an accident.

After a while, Lin Rui returned to Gu Qingyan with a handkerchief holding a silver needle as thin as a hair.

"Four girls."

Gu Qingyan took it, this silver needle is very thin, in this kind of wilderness and mountain forest, you can't find it if you don't stare at it carefully, and it's no wonder that Yun Jichen staggered in a panic.

Thousands of these needles really have to be stuck in the foot..... Hiss. The three of them felt pain just thinking about it.

"Not to mention using such a needle as a mechanism, there are not many people who can make such a needle, but..."

Gu Qingyan remembered a small sect a long time ago, which specially used a self-made extremely small hidden weapon to walk the rivers and lakes, which was very similar to this needle, but the scale of that sect was not large, and its reputation was average, and there had been no news of them on the rivers and lakes for many years.

"Who Bai Shu found to help that day is still a mystery after all." Yun Jichen said in a deep voice.

Listening to Yun Jichen's words, Gu Qingyan was a little puzzled, she couldn't guess the purpose of Yun Jichen bringing the Su family before, if you want to say that it is to show his recognized identity, then his purpose has been achieved.

But he seemed to be involved in everything, so from this moment on, Gu Qingyan was obviously on guard.

She didn't take Yun Jichen's words, but just pointed to a place diagonally above the three of them, and said, "Since you're here, let's see if we can figure out what kind of formation this is." ”

Lin Rui and Yun Jichen looked in the direction that Gu Qingyan pointed to, it was a few big trees not far from the path where they were now, and the height, although it could not completely overlook the entire forest, was better than the futile effort on the floor.

Lin Rui nodded, that should be the only commanding height that will not alarm any hidden weapons.

So the three of them jumped one after the other, each of them on a high branch at three points overlooking the forest that was now quiet.

The forest has been deliberately trimmed, and it can be easily seen when you go to a high place, Gu Qingyan silently counted.

One, two, three, four.....

There were eight places in total, and she had a prototype in her mind.

At this time, Yun Jichen gestured to her not far away, motioning for her to look at the direction of each concave surface of these forests.

Gu Qingyan looked and found that each concave surface was surrounded in one direction, as if they were supporting something, but there was a circle of trees that just blocked their view and couldn't see clearly.

Gu Qingyan suddenly had a bold idea, flew lightly, skimmed straight through the woods, and finally stopped at the top of a tree in the forest with branches sprouting.

This action made Lin Rui fearful, not for anything else, for fear that Gu Qingyan would suddenly touch an unknown organ.

It wasn't until he saw Gu Qingyan's stable appearance that he relieved himself.

Gu Qingyan didn't have time to think about anything else for the time being, because in front of her, something that made her more concerned appeared.

The inner exits of these forests all face a clearing, and at the front and outermost of this clearing, stone pillars carved with statues of gods stand at equal distances and in a certain arc.

Go in again, insert the empty and a slightly shorter and thinner stone pillar than the previous circle, and then go inside....

So three circles.

There is a high and convex round arch arc in the position of due north and south, because of the angle, Gu Qingyan can't see whether there is a door or not, but she can conclude that this should be the sword mound.

But the sword mound, why are there two more?

Roughly remembering the location of the vision in front of her, Gu Qingyan jumped up with a light effort, and returned to the ground outside, she saw that Lin Rui had returned to the ground, but she didn't see Yun Jichen's figure.

"What about others?"

Lin Rui pointed to the top, Yun Jichen seemed to have seen something not long after Gu Qingyan passed, and then pondered there.

Lin Rui is different, his perspective sees the distribution of this path very clearly, so after looking at it for a while, he came down and walked around according to what he saw, and he already had a rough idea in his heart.

He roughly told Gu Qingyan so that Gu Qingyan could connect what the two of them saw, but Gu Qingyan didn't think too much about the meaning of those stone pillars, so he always felt that there was something vacant.

When Yun Jichen came over, he also looked at Gu Qingyan for a long time, and asked, "Can the fourth girl know gossip?" ”

Gu Qingyan was stunned and shook her head, but when Yun Jichen talked about gossip, she suddenly realized.

Those stone pillars, before her focus was all on the statue, thinking that the statue had some meaning, now it seems that the direction and arrangement of the stone pillars are more like the Taiji diagram of the gossip, and the position of the sword mound is not exactly the yin and yang?

The arrangement of the eight trees, the layout of the Taiji diagram, and the various forks in the path....

The faces of the three were not very good.

The Bagua Array, which was previously the killing formation that would be used on the battlefield, required too much consumption and required too much human cooperation, so it was not commonly used, if the Bagua Array was used in the rivers and lakes, it was rarely heard of, but I didn't want to, Bai Shu repaired one here.

"That's not right." Gu Qingyan suddenly spoke, "Maybe he just used his appearance to confuse others, and the inside is still a conventional technique." ”

The three of them all took a deep look in the direction of the forest, hoping that they were thinking too much.
