Chapter 19: The Altar
Several people collapsed on the ground, driving the ancient weapon, draining all their strength, and they didn't even want to move.
There were eleven people when they entered the snowy mountain, and now there are only eight people left, but now they are not in the mood to sigh, as the female lu said, it is estimated that they can't get out, otherwise why are there so many skeletons?
"Do you want to get out of the way first? "Someone proposed.
"Didn't you notice that the skeletons you encountered in the passage were crawling outward?"
"It seems like you say so, but we didn't encounter any danger when we came in!"
When people say it, everyone thinks of the state of the bones, and they really crawl out.
"Let's try it first, and if it doesn't work, I'll go back to the cave. ”
Gao Jian was seriously injured, but fortunately he was not unconscious and remained awake.
Xiao Yan fed him a few mouthfuls of the magical water in the pool, and the effect was very good, and the pale face of the few breathing high swords had become rosy, and it seemed that the pool was too extraordinary.
The others also took a small sip, and the water had a good effect, and the empty body slowly turned around.
When they came in, they filled several jugs to the brim, enough for them to survive for a few days.
Wu Tian checked Gao Jian's injury, found that it had improved, let go of his hanging heart, and said to everyone: "I'll try it first, and I'll return it immediately if there is a situation." ”
Two night pearls were pulled from the stone wall, and one was used as a ball to roll into the hole.
The Night Pearl rolled forward with a beam of light, stopping at seventy or eighty meters to illuminate the surroundings.
Wu Tian saw that the night pearl did not happen, raised the pearl in his hand, and tentatively took a step into the passage, and felt it carefully.
Sure enough, there was a faint obstructive force, like a breeze blowing, but it was difficult to detect.
With another step, the sensation increases significantly, and with another step, it becomes even more pronounced.
The force of this obstacle seems to multiply upwards, one into two, two into four, and four into eight......
Each step means that the difficulty is doubled, Wu Tian only took seven steps, and found that the resistance was extremely strong, and secretly calculated that he could take up to ten steps, no wonder so many people were trapped here.
What's even more strange is that this flat resistance not only prevents people from moving forward, every step is like something that drains a part of their spiritual energy, making people tired, Wu Tian doesn't dare to move forward anymore, as if he has to walk five or six meters at most like those bones paralyzed to the ground, waiting for only death.
Thinking of this, Wu Tian was shocked, those bones in the passage were not simple, especially the first one encountered, at least two thousand five hundred meters away from the stone cave, how powerful a person must be to go so far?
Wu Tian retreated to the stone cave and told everyone about the experience, some people tried it themselves, it was really difficult to take a few steps, this was too terrifying.
"Is it really as the female lu said, we are going to be trapped here and become one of them?" Zhou Yuanyuan trembled, remembering that he only had a few days to live, this kind of torture was maddening.
"This road doesn't work, so let's see if we can find other clues while we are still physically strong. Mu Qing had experienced the strangeness of the passage, and only took three steps before decisively retreating.
Everyone acted separately, subconsciously avoiding the corpses of Gu Xin and Zhong Zhicheng, no matter which one it was, it was too bloody, especially Gu Xin's one, which made people's scalps tingle at a glance.
Although the stone cave is large, it is clear at a glance, except for the altar in the middle, dozens of bones that fell to the ground, dozens of clothes pearls inlaid on the stone wall, and a passage to enter, there is nothing else.
But judging from the length of the time that has been entered, I can't dig a tenth of it even if I am exhausted, and this time, I am really in a desperate situation.
After searching carefully more than a dozen times, there is no other way out of this stone cave, and there is not even a crack to be found.
Wang Fatzi was the first to give up, lying on the ground motionless, muttering to himself: "This time the fat man is really done, the flower world has not yet begun to enjoy, my old man has a lot of money, and I don't know who will be cheaper?"
"I found out that you are missing, I am your father, I will definitely find a little daughter-in-law immediately, and I will quickly come out again while I can still toss and pass on the lineage. Gao Jian also gave up looking for it, and there was no match with the fat man.
Wang Fatzi snorted: "I've tried to enjoy a lot more than you, and you don't regret it at all?"
"It's better if I don't see it, with my personality charm, she wants to know that I'm trapped here, maybe there will be a martyrdom or something, and it will be inhumane to affect other little girls. Gao Jian said indifferently.
Although the two of them were talking nonsense loudly, the stone cave was so loud that the sound could not be transmitted yet, and could only echo in the stone cave, and others could hear it clearly.
The little goose on the other side stomped his little feet, snorted angrily, and scolded: "I'm still martyred for you, narcissist, self-inflicted!"
"Hehe!" Gao Jian smiled, turned his face and said to her: "You don't know me, when I was in school, the girl who chased me was Wuyang, and she didn't have an unswerving heart for love and an unswerving belief in life, which was unbearable." ”
Xiao Yan's fair face turned red with anger, why was this person so shameless?
The others also stopped searching one after another, but they found nothing and their efforts were in vain.
Only Wu Tian never gave up, carefully inspected, and did not let go of any detail. Still nothing.
Wu Tian ascended the altar and stared at the suspended space-time gate, if it was really as the female lu said, opening this door would step into a different world, and then you could not go out but enter the unknown world.
But how will the ancient road of time and space be opened?
Wu Tian touched the door of time and space with words, and found that the suspended gossip graphics were not physical, but the gossip graphics on the ground converged and projected.
Nulu said that the eight people stand in the eight directions corresponding to the gossip, and cooperate with her to perform the secret method to open the ancient road of time and space, and the eight directions of the gossip are Qian, Zhen, Kan and other eight directions Wu Tian knows, he has read Zhu Shengrenxi's "Zhou Yi Benyi", there is a "Bagua Elephant Song" to help people remember the hexagram shape: Qiansanlian, Kun Liuxuan; Zhen Yangyu, Gen covers the bowl; away from the void, Kanzhong is full;
Bagua is also divided into yin and yang, the hexagram of the five elements. Yin and Yang are the four yang hexagrams of Zhen, Li, Dui, and Qian, and Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun are the four yin hexagrams. The five elements are dry and gold, Kun and Gen are earth, Zhen and Xun are wood, Kan is water, and separation is fire.
This altar should be the hexagram of yin and yang, men are yang, women are yin, they are just four men and four women, do they stand according to the hexagram of yin and yang, will there be a touch?
But the female really made Wu Tian trust, if eight people stood on it at the same time, would something bad happen?
And Nulu also said that she had to rely on her secret method to activate it in order to open the ancient path of time and space, what is this secret method?
If this space-time ancient path is seen as a door, it takes some kind of energy to open this door, and this energy should be available to the human body, otherwise the female lu would not have gone to great lengths to secretly guide them here.
With energy, the difference is just the way to guide the energy, look at the veins on the altar floor, each direction has veins leading to the middle, which should be the energy delivery route.
Looking at the graphics on the ground, Wu Tian broke out in a cold sweat, the method that the female lu said should be blood sacrifice, in ancient times, there was often a saying that the sky was sacrificed to the gods, and the use of cattle and sheep and other livestock belonged to blood sacrifices.
The emperors of all dynasties had the custom of worshiping the heavens, implying that they could communicate with the heavens, and they were the sons of heaven and the first people of that era.
The more powerful the emperor, the more grand the form of worshipping the sky, representing himself to surpass others and win the world.
The way to open this space-time ancient path should be more than just a blood sacrifice, and the fact that so many creatures were trapped in the stone cave is enough to explain.
Those who can come here must be extraordinary people, ordinary people can't find them, but they are still trapped to death, and it is definitely not easy to open the ancient path of time and space.
Wu Tian frowned and pondered, all kinds of speculations.
If, according to what the female Lu said, the yin and yang hexagram is shaped with four yin and male yang, it just fits, is it not the same as finding the same attribute energy, which can also play a role?
No matter how complex and chaotic the graphics on the ground are, the only effect is only to play a transmission role, and finally converge in the middle of the chaos, so that it undergoes some kind of change, so as to open the ancient road of time and space, with the simplest description, that is, the gossip graphics on the ground are a kind of "password", the password can be opened if it is right, and if it is wrong, it should just be a failure to open, so many people have been here, and they must have tried countless times, but the door of time and space still exists can be explained.
No, Wu Tian thought about it from a different angle, this stone cave was built inside the mountain, and it could only enter and not exit, which must be used for retreat.
Nulu said that this is the forbidden land of the Queen Mother, where the Yellow Emperor and his family left here, and said that four people later found here, a Taoist priest riding a green ox, a general wearing battle armor, a monk, and a Taoist priest riding a crane.
But there are no cow bones here, and there are no bones in battle armor, so at least two more people have set foot on the ancient road of time and space.
The Taoist priests and generals riding the green ox were all alone, and they couldn't be opened by the blood sacrifice method, that is, there was another way.
