Chapter 64: Underground Four
The phantom array is roughly divided into two types, one is to rely on the formation eye to urge, just like the three-world array that Wu Zhen once laid out. There is no formation eye for this one announced by the division, because others are here, and they can urge the formation at any time. But then again, although Wu Zhen's array of eyes is a wooden card, the wooden card also needs to be held by someone, so in the final analysis, the urging of the phantom array still depends on people.
Illusion comes from the heart, and the illusion array must also be driven by the heart. Shigong's phantom array was suddenly touched, just like when you open your mouth, but your tongue is controlled by others, and what comes out is someone else's voice and someone else's words. Or, as if your hand is raised and you make all kinds of movements, but you can't control it so much, no, it's more serious than that.
In such a short moment, the silver thread that spread outward from the palm of Shigong's hand suddenly burst into light, as if it had been ignited, and it lit up so brightly that people couldn't open their eyes, and then the light immediately dimmed, and the silver thread turned gray-black, scattering one by one, like ashes burned by a fire.
This is no longer touching, but the phantom array has been broken.
I saw that there was another silver line on the right side that had dimmed and disappeared, and these silver lines represented the veins of the division's formation.
We looked to the northeast, where the torches that had been lit by stars had disappeared and turned into a pitch black mess.
Something is not right - it has completely escaped the control of Shigong.
I stretched out my hand, and a little light flashed, and a halo of light rose on the phantom pearl, expanding and enveloping me and my master's figure in it. The transparent bead kept circling around the jade bead, and with each revolution, a new halo spread outward, wrapping around us layer after layer.
There were many people at the bottom of the ditch, just look at the number of torches. But now there is a dark and dead silence underneath, and the torches are extinguished, what about those people? Why didn't it come out? Are they dead or alive?
At this time, the people above the ravine also noticed that something was wrong. Some shouted down, others panicked and turned away.
I asked softly, "Was there anything wrong here in the past?" β
"Nothing out of the ordinary."
Darkness and fear spread from the bottom down, and the silver filaments in Shigong's palm were almost completely swallowed by the darkness. The silver filament is like a real microcosm in the crypt, the torches are extinguished one after another, and in such a dark place, without torches, nothing can be seen.
When the torch is extinguished, where is the person who bears the torch?
The rest of the people were already panicking, and at this time, Wen Fei's voice sounded, very loud and clear: "Everyone is facing outward." With their backs inward, they formed a circle and retreated towards me. β
The six gods and masterless people suddenly received such an order. As if grasping a life-saving straw, he hurriedly rushed in the direction of Wen Fei, retreated, and formed a circle, everyone thought that they could be at the bottom of the circle. Let others be outside the circle and shield yourself from disasters in the dark.
The torches in the darkness were still being extinguished sporadically, and it was the people who had gone far and had no time to return. Also, in the process of retreating, those who were pushed down and trampled by themselves.
The scattered torches gradually gathered brightly, and they were as conspicuous as they could be in the dark. In this pitch black underground. It really pointed out the direction to those who were waiting in the shadows. But people don't put out their torchesβthe light of the fire can still strengthen their courage, and if they really fall into darkness, I am afraid that no one will kill them. They themselves will run wildly.
My master and I were standing in the middle of the crowd, and at this moment people had no time to pay attention to who the people around us wereβmost of these people didn't know each other, not to mention that they were all frightened now.
In the dark, fear can be infinitely magnified, and it is not uncommon for someone to be scared to death.
Don't talk about them. It's just that I don't have a bottom in my heart now.
According to Shigong, he has repeatedly inspected this place for decades. It's been the same. Shigong even calmly spent many years arranging a phantom array here.
The changes that are happening now are even uncertain in our hearts.
Wen Fei saw that everyone had gathered in one place, and said loudly: "I don't know where the master is here, please show up and see it." β
His voice was heard far away, echoing among the empty mountain walls, and only the aftermath was heard, but no one answered. Wen Fei repeated it again, and the answer to him was still emptiness.
My master and I held each other's hands tightly.
The phantom pearl swirled around, but through the beads, it was still pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
The people around me are laymen, but my master and I are not.
This is clearly also a phantom array, and we are trapped in the array.
The torches that were extinguished, the people who disappeared into the darkness inexplicablyβit was impossible for anyone to kill so many people silently in an instant. Even Night Gu can't do it. They didn't die, and they didn't disappear in vain.
We are caught in the illusion and cannot see them, and in the same way, they cannot see us.
My master and I glanced at each other, and we both saw horror in each other's eyes.
The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. It was precisely because he and I were both masters of the illusion that we could judge how powerful this illusion array was.
My heart moved: "How long did you set up the formation?" β
"Before and after, there are more than ten years."
"What is the Array Stone used for?"
"It's the stone here."
"I want to see it."
Shi Gong glanced around, compared the two threads in his palm that had not yet turned black and disappeared, bent down and groped on the ground, and picked up something for me.
I didn't expect him to say take it, but there was a stone at the foot of us.
It was a gray-white stone, heavy and dense, and it felt very slippery to the touch.
"Are all the formations like this?"
"Yes." Shi Gong said: "I tried it all at that time, and this kind of stone is the most suitable for making a formation stone.
I slowly turned the stone to examine it carefully: "You polished the stone?" β
Shigong shook his head and said, "No, I see." This size is just right for the formation stone, so I didn't carve and polish it again. I found about a hundred pieces in total, scattered all over the place, and I used them to make a formation stone. β
However, the texture of this stone is different from that of the cave wall and the stone at the bottom of the ditch, and such a smooth feel is not polished by manpower, or it has been washed by water power over the years.
"Will it be ......?"
The people around me rioted again and almost knocked me down, but my master hurriedly supported me.
Wen Fei shouted loudly there, telling everyone not to panic and slowly retreat towards the way they came.
"What did you just want to say?"
We slowly retreated with the crowd: "I want to say, could it be that these stones have been used as array stones?" β
Shi Gong was shocked: "You mean...... Anyone else has ever set up a phantom array here? Just a formation stone made of these stones? β
"Yes."
This was once the place where the Sword Immortals slashed their Jiaojiao, and the Illusion Immortal Master Zhen Hui must have used illusion here, and she may have used these stones as array stones to lay down the formation.
