Chapter Forty-Eight: The Institute of the Occult
I'm not a fool after going through so many things, and I'm more vigilant about Sun Zilin's reminder. Now except for Liu Lang, the two of us are still sensible, but I don't dare to believe him casually. So I tried to calm down my emotions and asked him across the battlefield: "Senior Sun's good means, hiding deep enough, not to mention, can actually discover the phantom array, but I don't know if it's inconvenient to reveal it, which way is Your Excellency?" ”
Sun is not on the road, and should be regarded as a "relevant department". It can be seen that Sun Zilin is also working very hard to maintain his sanity, gritting his teeth in just one sentence, blushing and having a thick neck.
But I really didn't understand Sun Zilin's words, the relevant departments? What is the department concerned? Charge for electricity? Check the water meter? I found that at the critical moment, my brain circuit was a bit similar to Huzi, and it was always out of tune. The cold joke in my heart more or less diluted some of the feeling of anger up. Taking this opportunity, I asked again: "Senior Sun accosted me at this time, obviously he has something to say. Let's not hide it, we might as well talk about it if we have something. ”
Sun Zilin didn't answer my question, he sat cross-legged on the ground at the same time, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, as if he was trying to restrain something. In fact, I can probably guess what he wants to say, it's just that he wants to exchange my trust, and then deal with Qin Wuye with him together. Now that we have summarized it back and forth, the purpose of this guy's trip is all on Qin Wuye, and even the high-voltage electric baton he asked for by Qin Wuye is used to deal with Qin Wuye.
There is no conflict of interest between the two of us, and the purpose of Qin Wuye's invitation to come here is also to attack me, because I have long been a thorn in the side of their cult. So as far as I am concerned, I also hope that Qin Wuye can't get out, otherwise such a powerful enemy is hiding in the shadows, and that feeling is like a man's back, maybe he will have to yin me at any time. Originally, I was going to talk to Sun Zilin about the conditions for cooperation, but now it seems that it is enough, and this old guy seems to be unable to hold on.
I didn't pay attention to Sun Zilin, and while holding my breath, I looked around the entire main burial chamber, trying to see what went wrong. I still don't know when we fell for the illusion, or whose illusion we did. Liu Lang said that we are in the phantom array, could it be that there is a formation in the main tomb? That's not right, one, we didn't see any weird lines, and two, even if there is a formation, someone needs to control it, not to mention that all the people present are in the middle of the spell. Huzi and I were the first, followed by Zhang Ye and his party, and none of them had the opportunity to arrange the formation without me noticing.
I kept sorting out my thoughts, but I just couldn't figure it out. Could it be that there is something wrong with my train of thought? This phantom array existed before we came in? Thinking about it, I vetoed it again, even if it was a phantom array arranged by the tomb owner, it still couldn't escape the law that the formation needed to be manipulated by humans. No matter how powerful the formation is, it is impossible for it to be effective for three thousand years, the formation is different from the seal, and the stimulation and maintenance of the formation require mana to support it. When I used to listen to my grandmother's explanation, I thought I was listening to a story, and I didn't know what mana was.
As I got in touch with more, I slowly understood that the basis of mana is the Tao, and the source of the Tao is nothing more than two ways. One is to meditate and meditate, and the other is to accumulate merit in accordance with the will of heaven. This is also when many cultivating immortals encounter bottlenecks, they have to go down the mountain to practice, subdue demons and eliminate demons to accumulate merits.
In other words, the phantom array needs to be controlled by someone anyway. The entire tomb was full of red eyes, except for me and Sun Zilin, who was trembling on the other side. I can only attribute this formation to the imaginary tomb owner who is hidden behind the scenes.
As everyone fought, the corpses on the ground had been kicked to the edge of the tomb wall, and even the coating on the ground had been split a lot by the thunder light spell, and pieces of transparent jade slabs came into view, and you could directly see the secret passage of the lower layer. In addition, the entire main burial chamber is clear, and there is no trace of the formation at all.
I scanned my eyes for weeks, but I still couldn't find any clues. At this moment, Changqingzi, who was spitting black blood in his mouth, was slapped away by Qin Wuye, who had turned into a dead body, and smashed on the edge of the broken jade sarcophagus, and the back of his head hit the "solution" block of the bronze bell in the outer circle.
Chang Qingzi had a spasm all over his body, as if he had eaten an ant pill, he jumped back into the battle circle on the spot, and jumped back into the battle circle again, not dodging or dodging Qin Wuye's attack, and attacking with his life as if he were fighting for his life.
The appearance of this little bug struck me like a lightning strike, and if I'm not mistaken, it was the same corpse-like scoop that Tiger and I found from the corpses of the security guards when we fell into the secret room on the lower level. At that time, I thought that Zhang Ye did it, because the corpse had a bullet hole on it. Now it seems that this is not the case, this thing is something from the tomb.
So the phantom array?
I scanned every corner of the main burial chamber again, and I didn't let go of the corners at all, but I still found nothing. Just as I was puzzled, the corridor under the transparent jade slab moved, just as we had done when we were in the secret passage below, and the curtain wall began to move. Thanks to the previous comparison, I can be sure that it is our layer that is moving, not the lower level.
A bold idea came to my mind, could it be that the combination of the upper and lower layers of the tomb was the whole of the phantom array? At first we didn't react because the phantom array hadn't been activated yet, and then the displacement of the tomb wall began, and everyone began to be carried into the main burial chamber before they knew it. It wasn't until we entered the main burial chamber that we were in the phantom array.
If the facts are as I thought, then it explains the purpose of the tomb owner's two-story tomb. No wonder I haven't been able to find the existence of the formation, the whole tomb is a big array, and the main tomb is where the eye of the array is!
While my speculation is still immature, it's the most plausible explanation I can think of right now. Following this line of thought, I began to search for the most likely place in the main tomb that looked like the eye of the array, and if I found the eye of the array and used Liu Lang's power to break it, then it would not be difficult to break the array.
With this line of thought, I began to see what was wrong, and I wanted to ask Liu Lang, but this guy still didn't say a word, and I didn't know what silence he was playing with me. I began to keep trying to observe, and the canopy was gray mountain rock, and the floor was coated with transparent jade. Only the murals on the sides of the walls are quite luxurious, but they are only frescoes. The only thing I don't understand is the ancient inscription at the corner of the wall, if I guess correctly, the reason why it is written in such an ancient script. Either it's some shady secret recorded, or it's a spell written to manipulate the formation.
After thinking about this, I tried to move my arms, and found that the feeling of restraint was gone. It seems that Liu Lang wanted to prevent me from following in their footsteps, so he tied me up. At this time, Liu Lang output a warm energy to warm my mind and help me repel the fluctuations in my emotions in the phantom array. Other than that, he didn't speak or instruct, as if he was trying to test me.
I moved my muscles a bit, and then I walked around the battlefield against the wall, afraid that the red-eyed guys would come at me. I deliberately walked to Sun Zilin, who was convulsive, because there was a word that appeared repeatedly in a passage on the wall behind him. I want to try what the consequences will be after erasing this character of the text, anyway, with Liu Lang here, there is no way he will throw me down if there is any problem.
I'm very careful about the process of going around the wall, trying to make myself appear less presence, and it's also those guys who are worried about their IQ right now, and even if they see me, they don't pay much attention to it. Finally walked to Sun Zilin's side, this guy suddenly roared, and I was so frightened that I bit my tongue. I jumped half a meter backwards on the spot, carefully observing him.
According to my guess, this guy probably couldn't control the invasion of anger and went berserk, I'm so close to him, I'm afraid this guy is going to play with me. What I didn't expect was that after Sun Zilin roared in such a low voice, he held his hands with each other and exerted his whole body, and a mouthful of blood foam came out of his mouth. Then this guy is like Zhu Bajie, two ears kickback, actually covered the ears and eyes, I have seen ears that can move ears, but I have never seen ears can block the ears and eyes.
Just when I didn't understand what this guy was going to do, he opened his eyes, and the black-eyed kernel was like a pulley, shaking up and down, and finally it was as if the whole black-eyed kernel had turned to the back, and there was only the whites of the eyes in the whole eye. I've seen severe cataracts before, and I think that's scary enough, but this old guy is so powerful that he has two eyeballs whiter than my teeth.
His actions made me break out in a cold sweat on my back, there must be a demon when things go wrong, this old thing has been transformed, and it must not be easy to deal with. I rubbed the sweat from my palms, drew the rod of good and evil and stood in front of me, ready for him to give me a cold breath.
Just when my heart was in my throat, Sun Zilin cleaned the soil on his body and stood up, and said to me with a smile: "Mr. Xiao Gao, don't be nervous, I used a stupid method to close the six senses, so as not to be infected by the phantom array." Sun is not like Mr. Xiao Gao, who has a deep immortal relationship, and is protected by a profound ghost fairy, so he can only make this decision. ”
Sun Zilin himself gave me the feeling of a depressed person, but I didn't expect that people were not only talkative, but also spoke as sharp as a knife, this is to express to me that he saw my bottom? Hehe, Lao Tzu's bottom is deep.
I pretended to be embarrassed and smiled, hugged my fists and said: "I often hear that there are three thousand avenues in the world, and sure enough, the ability of Senior Sun is unheard of, admire, admire." I just don't know what kind of department the senior Sun is talking about? ”
Sun Zilin didn't seem to hear the ridicule in my words, in fact, his current facial features, I couldn't understand what his expression was. Sun Zilin coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Sun is from the Institute of Occultism, which is a supernatural supervision association with a history of several hundred years, and belongs to a legal non-governmental organization."
