Chapter 281: Trapped
"Lord, King Zhai Rong is waiting outside the city ahead." The pathfinders came back to report that they would walk another ten miles, and they would enter Zhai Rong City.
"Lord?" Yun Yi came immediately, Jiang Lie, the king of Zhai Rong, in Yanxi, in terms of status and strength, second only to the king of Quyan and the king of Qirong. But this man has always been wise to protect himself, and almost never participates in the battles between the other seven kings, and never takes the initiative to stir up trouble. So in Yanxi, he is also an alternative existence.
It's just that this time, he suddenly made such an obvious action to stand in line, which made Yun Yi have some doubts. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, "Lord, lest there be fraud?" ”
Hua Zhuo motioned to Mu Zhiqing and Qian Mo behind him, "You guys will enter the city later." The others stayed, and Yun Yi followed me. ”
"Lord, no!"
"Since King Zhai Rong is so sincere this time, how can he live up to it?" Hua Zhuo roughly guessed the mind of King Zhai Rong, King Qi Rong had a map and recruited troops and horses, he was afraid that he would really conquer the Nine Shadows Swamp.
The other kings may not know, but as a lord, they can see the flowers of all the historical scrolls in the land of Yanxi for thousands of years, but they know a secret that no one knows.
The ancestors of Zhai Rong and Qi Rong, more than ten years ago, had an unsightly "chaos". Lun". The specific situation is not described, but it is known that at that time, there were two kings and queens, princesses, princes, and several major subordinates, a total of more than 30 people, mixed together in an extremely filthy manner.
It is precisely for this reason that King Rong has become a skin-loving benefactor. And King Zhai Rong disappeared as if he had disappeared, and no longer made a sound.
But now, King Qirong has the slightest possibility of becoming the lord of Yanxi, and he can't sit still anymore. For he knew that once the king of Qirong won, it would be when they were destroyed. If it is said that King Zhai Rong can watch anyone get the position of lord and get the power of the Nine Shadows Depths. Then this anyone must have excluded the king of Qirong.
However, Hua Zhuo still kept a hand. King Zhai Rong will not do anything to him, but he does not guarantee that he will not make a fuss about other people. That's why I left the others behind and protected them.
"Qianmo!" Hua Zhuo glanced at it, got his affirmative signal, and after his eyes stayed on Mu Zhiqing slightly, he rode away with Yunyi.
"Master, if the flower lord takes Yun Yi there, will it be dangerous?"
Mu Zhiqing explained Lu Chaotian's confusion: "When he went to Yanxi to take over the lord's position, the eight kings swore a blood oath that they would not betray the lord. ”
When Qian Scarlet Moon heard this, a hint of mockery flashed in her heart. Oaths are used to deceive. But she can't say it now, otherwise Mu Zhiqing would be worried.
After a few days, the faint affection between Hua Zhuo and Mu Zhiqing was felt by them.
"But since he left behind, he has his concerns. Let's be careful. Mu Zhiqing's eyebrows lingered with a faint sorrow, and she always felt that something was hanging in her heart and she couldn't put it down.
"Sister Mu," Qian Scarlet Yue leaned forward with a smile, "You are worried about Langxing Qianlinu!" ”
"Little girl, what are you talking about!" Mu Zhiqing glared at her, but her cheeks were a little hot, could this be just worrying?
After waiting for half an hour, they began to rush to Zhai Rong City. Ten miles of land was originally just a matter of blink of an eye. But when there is concern in her heart, Mu Zhiqing always feels that the road is getting longer and longer, and it seems that she has never been able to finish.
"Stop!" Qian Mo waved his hand, and after a few breaths of silence, he finally realized that something was wrong. They walked in the same place for a stick of incense for a long time! They are trapped.
"What's wrong?" Mu Zhiqing didn't notice it at first, her mind was on Hua Zhuo just now. But when she calmed down and looked around closely, her expression became solemn.
"Here, we've walked through!" Leng Qinglian also noticed that something was wrong, she was setting up a car, and she deliberately bypassed a stone just now. But the familiar stone was now lying in front of her carriage again. Same size, same position, same angle.
"What?" Qian Crimson Moon also happened to be distracted, because Xiao Huo woke up in her consciousness. She wanted to see if she had grown after eating pigeon's blood, but she heard the words that surprised her, "What...... Called, we walked? ”
"Yue'er, we're spinning in place!" Qian Mo carefully felt the breath and sounds around him, and then noticed that it was too quiet here, and there was no sound at all. It's so abnormal. There was no sound of the wind, no insects in the grass, no sound of ice chips shattering, not even the dripping of ice water from the trees, he could not hear the sound.
"It's a maze!" Mu Zhiqing looked at it for a long time and said, "We are trapped in the formation. ”
"Maze?" No one else has heard of this thing.
"Well, it's a formation arranged by a formation master to confuse people's minds, and the phantom array is also real and illusory, and all kinds of fantasies are permeated in it." It was the first time for Mu Zhiqing to experience this kind of formation in person, and she didn't even notice it. "This maze will keep us going around in circles until we starve to death inside."
"We go in one direction, we can always get out, right?" Mingqiu frowned, he still couldn't understand, why did he keep spinning in place for just such a while?
Mu Zhiqing shook her head: "It's useless, you think you're going in one direction, but you just happened to be deceived by the formation." From the perspective of those outside the formation, it is very likely that we are going in circles in circles. But in the maze, we can't feel it. ”
"What then? Keep walking? ”
"Yes, keep going until you stop." Mu Zhiqing felt a little remorse at this time, regretting why she didn't learn more in the first place, and she wouldn't be able to solve even a basic maze now.
The maze is the most basic unit of all other formations. "Ecstasy" focuses on the word "mystery". Lost, obsessed, addicted, lost, drunk, confused...... It was because people's pure consciousness was confused that the people in the formation could not come out of their consciousness normally.
"Even if you stop, as long as the formation is not broken, you will always be in the formation. Until you eat all your food and drink all the water, and finally die of starvation or thirst, or you can't stand it anymore and go crazy. ”
"Is there a way to crack it?" Qianmo and the others didn't understand the formation at all, so they could only look at Mu Zhiqing.
"Yes! It's just that I won't ......."
…… Everyone's sad faces, Mu Zhiqing saw it in her eyes. She is not only worried about herself now, but also worried about the flowers in Zhai Rong City at the moment. She wouldn't think that this matter had nothing to do with Zhai Rong, so would he be in danger.
Thinking like this, she couldn't stay for a moment: "No, we're going out!" ”
"Do you have a way?" Qian Mo looked at the anxious look on her face and guessed her concern.
"Generally speaking, there are two ways to break the formation." Mu Zhiqing took a deep breath and tried her best to flip the knowledge in her mind quickly, "One is to find the door and crack the formation; There is another way, which is to use brute force! One is better than ten! ”
"Good! I'll give it a try! ”
