Chapter 51: The Bagua Labyrinth
I slipped the booklet into my clothes and patted the dust off my body. Mu Xichen looked behind the fat man, extending in all directions. The towering boulder pillars supported the position they were standing on, and when they looked down, the endless river was turbulent and rushing, which should be the Weishui after the diversion, passing through the dragon's lair, and going straight to the water of the Yellow River to blend with it.
"Okay, I don't want to do that, let's go, there's still a long way to go!" Mu Xichen woke up from his contemplation, and after saying a word, he reflexively walked back......
The sound of the river roared in the huge cave, he just took a step to the edge of the stone platform, turned to look at the stone statue, the steep staircase from the top of the head of the Houqing stone statue spiraled down, fell to this round platform, the stone platform seems to be artificially built and seems to be natural, perennial by the river water to form a beautiful stripe. His head suddenly became hot, and the ground was obviously still wet, and he looked up at the stone statue, and the traces from the bottom to the top were getting lighter and lighter.
Look up.
"One, two, three, four, five, six......"
"Seven. Seven-story demon tower? ”
"Eight?" He Fatzi added.
"No, is there something wrong with the water?" Mu Xichen turned to look at the rushing river, and the water splashed on the stone wall. He suddenly walked around the stone platform in a hurry, and the water splashed higher and higher, "Oh no, this water is rising." ”
turned around and pulled over, followed the fat man who wanted to watch the excitement, and walked back to the center of the stone platform. Eight stone bridges, eight passes. "Eh, what are you pulling me for, Lao Mu!" The fat man was dragged to the center, and staggered for a while before he fixed his figure, and Mu Xichen's brows were tightly locked, and it was inevitable that the river would rise every once in a while, and every eight times for a big cycle.
Perhaps, so.
Looking around at the eight caves, there is always a capable person at so many caves, right? Mu Xichen grabbed the fat man and ran to a wooden bridge at will, "Don't let him run first!" The fat man opened his mouth, but before he could speak in a hurry, he was pulled up the bridge by the dust, and the bridge was rickety and tattered, and the lotus root was broken or continuous.
"This way!" Mu Xichen pulled the fat man like a headless fly again, and the ghost saw that they were so lucky that they happened to hit the big rise in the cycle once every few years, he really had to thank God!
"This way, this way, go here."
"Go this way."
"I'm unlucky, I've encountered all these bad things!" The fat man panted and complained, he really shouldn't just walk into these holes, once he walked around, it was like walking in a maze, and he couldn't find a way out.
In a daze, when they thought that the water was going to fill the hole, a light appeared in front of them with a faint roar. The closer you go, the clearer the sound becomes.
Finally, it's time to ...... Dusty stretched out his hand to grab it, but what he caught was the sound of coaxing water.
One stumbled out of the hole, his hands suddenly clenched at the edge of the stone cave, and he took a deep breath and was almost knocked out by the fat man's crutches.
"Ahh He screamed in fright, and before he could stand firmly, the soles of his feet slipped and he was knocked out by the fat man. The heart was pounding, the dust grasped the edge of the hole with one hand, the wooden bridge became rotten because it had been washed by the river for many years, and it broke a big hole with a light kick, Mu Xichen was enclosed in this broken hole, squinting one eye and looking down, the river was turbulent like a python with a bloody mouth, anxious to hope that you would quickly get into his stomach.
He frowned in disgust, "Fatty, fatty, I'm really hurt by you." ”
The fat man on top of his head rubbed his nose, smiled, covered his stomach and laughed, "Old Mu, this is ...... I didn't mean it! Hahaha, I didn't expect it either...... Ha ha! ”
Mu Xichen glared at He Fatzi complainingly, this dead guy can only say cool things, because he used to say good things about fat people, but now that he thinks about it, it is really a slap in the face.
"Fatty, why don't you pull me up?" Mu Xichen smiled, and sure enough, there is a saying that when you are in trouble in front of people, you have to bow your head when you ask for help. To put it mildly, he has been good buddies for more than ten years, why do he always like to worry about these little things? The corners of the fat man's mouth grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, and he stretched out his fat hand to grasp Mu Xichen's hand.
"Let's go!" With all his might, he saw Mu Xichen slowly rising in mid-air, and he climbed the rugged rock and climbed back to the entrance of the cave.
Casually brushing away the stains on his body, he squatted in front of the wooden bridge and looked at it, "This wooden bridge will shatter with a little pressure and gravity, but even if we walk over, we still return to the original starting point." He spread his hands and pursed his lips, "This water is rising too fast." ”
His pupils contracted, and he grabbed the fat man's hand and began to sweat, "Fatty, take out the dragon compass!" When the fat man saw this situation, he also knew that he was in danger, so he did not hesitate to take out the dragon search recipe and compass from his bag, and solemnly handed them out.
"No, the anchor point is not here...... Chenzi gritted his teeth and stepped on the crumbling wooden bridge, and with a click, the wooden board was sunk and stuck in the chain and broken into two sections. The soles of his feet were slippery because of the water, and the wooden bridge was covered with moss, so his feet were empty and his whole body hung on chains.
The dust covered his stomach, and it felt really uncomfortable to be caught in chains. He spat and fell on the chain in fear.
"Old Shepherd!" The fat man was also anxious to keep up, but was stopped by Mu Xichen stretching out his hand, "Don't move here." With that, he moved towards the center.
A huge curtain of water poured down from the top, covering the eight openings with a thin layer of mist.
On the second floor of the Water Curtain Demon Tower, the wonderful person is hidden in the mist. Eight caves go around the cave, and each cave has a large mouth of the stone statue of the divine beast as the entrance, as if to drill into the belly of these divine beasts.
"Green Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, White Tiger...... These are the four great divine beasts that guard the Quartet in Shanggu Town! ”
"It's obviously eight cave entrances, how can there be only four divine beasts?" A loud female voice suddenly came from behind him, and Chenzi turned his head, "Xiao Xiao? Why are you here alone?! ”
Xiao Xiao shook her head impatiently, her eyes were red, "Xiao Du was poisoned to death, and the Wen team couldn't find anyone...... " As she spoke, she sat beside Mu Xichen with weak legs, holding her legs without saying a word.
Chenzi frowned, and the compass in his hand was still rotating, "Miss Xiaoxiao, this is not a sad place, let's get out of here first and then talk about other things." ”
He wanted to stretch out his hand to comfort Xiao Xiao, but suddenly paused at the moment when he was about to touch it, immediately withdrew his hand and patted the back of his head, touched the tip of his nose and said: "The four divine beasts, sitting in all directions, are actually in the four main positions in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and the rest of the resets, each for a while." ”
"Dry, dui, leave, shake, kun, gen, kan, xun. It's gossip! He laughed and said, there is no endless road, and this trick has finally been seen through by him.
