Chapter Seventy-Two: Vena

The land of the secluded capital was first held by the rumored Houtu, because the Houtu had no intention of taking care of it, so it was handed over to Tubo to manage, for some reason, this place suddenly disappeared later, until Guiguzi searched all over the world, and this place of the secluded capital reappeared in the world as a place to store the soul of the Yin soldiers.

There were originally nine cities here, and after Guiguzi found this place, he sent Xinling Jun to bring people here to repair it, and when the ancestral dragon arrived, he established the mysterious and abnormal tenth city in it, and this tenth city is the city of black stone that we are now preparing to go to.

Since Houtu is a rumored existence, let's not talk about this person for the time being, and those who found it later, whether it is Guiguzi or Zulong, are the most legendary figures in China for thousands of years.

Even Xinlingjun, who was sent here by Guiguzi, was also the head of the rumored Four Gentlemen of the Warring States, and being able to achieve such a position during the period when a hundred schools of thought were contending in the Warring States period has invisibly proved his own extraordinary.

And how could this secluded place, now through the hands of these people, be as simple as I had imagined?

Juekong is right, if these nine roads are straight avenues, then we don't even need to know where they lead.

If it is really as we have just seen, the nine directions are straight roads, then we can try one road at a time, and in that case, as long as we have enough time, sooner or later we will find the real city of black stone, and we don't need any guidance at all.

And that kind of result will definitely not be the picture that the ancestors wanted to see.

Due to the special nature of the Black Stone City, the ancestral dragon definitely did not want people to approach it easily, so when it was built, it would definitely be hidden to a certain extent.

If I think about it in this way, then what Juekong just said can already answer the doubts in my heart.

In fact, it is not that we have taken a detour, but that this road is not as straight as we see, and everything we have just seen is actually just an illusion.

The reason why Juekong insists on leading the way in front is actually precisely because of this.

As he said, the road to Black Rock City has nine twists and eighteen turns, if the mind is not strong, if you don't notice it for a while, you will even get lost in it, he is worried about what accidents we have, so he will walk in the forefront alone, and take those unknown risks for us.

Thinking of this, I no longer had any doubts in my heart, and after suddenly realizing it, I looked around again with new eyes, and what I thought in my heart was far different from before.

Looking at the statue of the Ten Halls of Yama when we set off from afar, and then looking back at the place where we are now, after careful observation, I gradually found some clues.

At the beginning of this path, we did take a straight path, and after not far enough, the path changed to a certain extent.

And the change of this path does not seem to be at a loss, but has a specific law.

Seeing this, I suddenly became interested, and slowly continued to move forward, while carefully observing the path we had taken before.

After an initial straight line, we first walked about four steps to the west, then another nine steps to the north, and then two steps to the east.

After this, Juekong led us three more steps to the west, then five steps to the north, and then seven steps to the east.

Next, we took eight steps to the west, and then, for some reason, Juekong actually led us to take an inexplicable step back, and then six steps to the east again. Hot Books

Then there was another straight path in front of us, and when the straight path was over, our progress began to repeat the same path as before.

Thinking about the number of steps I had just counted, I suddenly felt an inexplicable familiarity.

Four, nine, two.

Three, five, seven.

Eight, one, six.

And it wasn't until I had a mental distribution of these steps that I finally knew where this inexplicable familiarity came from.

Looking at the numbers that appeared in my mind, I couldn't control the excitement in my heart and shouted loudly to the crowd.

"It's Vena! Ladies and gentlemen, the trajectory we are currently walking on is the trajectory of Vena! ”

Because I didn't stop thinking about it, I just thought about it in my head, so no one knew what was going on in my head just now, and naturally they didn't know that I had discovered the mystery.

So, after hearing my sudden shout, everyone stopped and looked at me with strange eyes, completely unaware of why I was in such a state at the moment.

And different from the reaction of everyone who stopped in place, after seeing my sudden opening, Shen Lang was the first to rush to my side, he waved his hand lightly in front of my eyes, and then cautiously tested me.

"Brother Chuan, what's wrong with you, are you stimulated by something or hit by something? Do you know who I am? Do you know what we're going to do? ”

"Shen Lang, don't make trouble, I'm fine, but I suddenly found something."

I looked at the cautious side of me with a smile and a smile, and after knocking off the hand he was waving in front of my eyes, I explained to everyone seriously.

"There's nothing to do between the left and right, so I've just observed the path we've traveled before, and it's this observation that has allowed me to inadvertently discover the true secrets hidden in this road to the city of Blackstone."

"After my observation, I found that what Juekong just said is not half false, the trajectory we have traveled is indeed not a straight path, but this path is not nine twists and eighteen bends, but has its own specific laws."

Looking at the expectant eyes of the crowd, I did not hesitate to tell them what I had just discovered, that is, the specific path we had taken.

And after I told everyone about the specific path I observed, I saw Shen Lang frowning, and he started talking to himself with his fingers.

"Four steps to the west, nine steps to the north, two steps to the east, then three steps to the west, five steps to the north, seven steps to the east, and finally eight steps to the west, one step back, and finally six steps to the east?"

Perhaps it was because of the great confusion in his heart, so after Shen Lang found that he could not solve the mystery, he gave up thinking on his own, and he raised his head to look at me, his tone full of doubts.

"Brother Chuan, are you sure we came over like this? Why didn't I realize that I had turned so many directions, and if I kept going like this, then we hadn't given ourselves a living labyrinth? ”
