The relief of nine Buddha statues on the stone wall in front, and a small dark hole in the stone wall behind, the fifth Tingyun lay between the two stone walls, staring blankly at the top of this space. Under the continuous crawling, his clothes were already soaked with sweat, and the physical exertion of this way of walking with hands and feet cannot be ignored.

He lay on the ground, resting and thinking carefully about his current situation.

It's been more than two hours since he'd drilled into the first tunnel, and even he can't remember what level of space it was in. At present, there seems to be a combination of endless routes in this so-called Empty Dao Array, at least no matter how many Buddha statues he chooses, after passing through the cave, he will still face a group of nine Buddha statues, so that the layers are down, as he calculated before, there are too many possibilities for the route.

And looking at it like this, it doesn't look like a posture that can go to the end at all. Now even he didn't believe that the Empty Dao Array would have a spatial limit. It seems that this Empty Dao Array is not in the belly of the mountain, but under the continent, the entire continent is vast and boundless, so the natural Empty Dao Array is endless.

What he fears most is that there is no end.

Infinity, which means that the road ahead will branch more and more, and the tunnel will become more and more complicated. If one accidentally gets lost in one of the dimensions, it is impossible to return to the first dimension - which is why he has been marking since the second level.

"Go three more times, and if it's still the case, go back. After enough rest, the fifth Tingyun stood up and made a decision. Anyway, although there are nine choices every time you go forward, there is only one tunnel to go back, and it is very easy to return to the first layer of space.

Now it seems that Li Chengcheng did not want to enter the cave, but insisted on staying in the first layer of space, could it be on purpose?

Putting aside superfluous thoughts for a while, the fifth Tingyun marked the hole on the far left and went straight in. This time, probably due to the decline in physical strength, he felt that he had been crawling in the dark cavern for a long, long time, until he was almost fainting due to breathlessness, and he still did not see the light coming from the front of him.

He stopped.

There were no fingers to be seen, it was black, and it was unusually silent, so quiet that there was no sound except for the sound of his breathing and heartbeat. He had been crawling non-stop before, but he didn't feel anything, but when he stopped, he instantly felt extremely depressed.

The whole body is in an unknown space, there is not a trace of light, there is not a sound in the space, and even the air seems to become extremely thin. Not only that, but the space in this cave was so narrow that he couldn't stretch his body even if he wanted to.

He gasped, unconsciously thinking of the coffin. He felt like a corpse in a coffin now, and as soon as this thought came to him, he shuddered violently.

"Don't scare yourself at this time!" he banged his head against the wall of the cave, trying not to pass out from the lack of oxygen. But sometimes, the more you don't want to think about it, the more you think about it. He had been climbing along this tunnel for more than an hour now, and it would not be easy to retreat at this time, for the speed of retreat in such a tunnel was several times slower than the advance, and in his current state he would probably not be able to support it for several hours.

If you can't go back, you can only keep going. But the road ahead is also unknown, the devil knows why this cave is so long, the ghost knows how long this cave is still there, the ghost knows if this cave is endless?! Dilemma, he was stuck in the middle, thinking that if someone chose the same route as him in a few years, would he climb here and grope for the bones he left behind in the dark?

After a period of cranky thought, the fifth Tingyun bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, and then he became much more sober, and then crawled forward. Fortunately, there was no endless road, and it didn't take long for him to climb out of this cave and enter the next layer of stone wall space.

"I must have been confused in the middle of the tunnel, which shouldn't be long. ”

Standing in the stone wall space, he secretly analyzed. Thinking about the claustrophobic coffin-like environment just now, he still has some scalp tingling, maybe after getting out of this empty pathless array, he will have a shadow on the small and confined space.

After calming down a little, he began to observe the current stone wall space.

However, nothing was gained, except that the expression of the Buddha statue became more exaggerated, and the rest of the details were exactly the same as before.

"I guess it's still like this ...... going forward"

With the experience just now, the fifth Tingyun didn't dare to go any further, whether there was something confusing in the cave or not, he decided to go home. If the cave really gets longer, he can't go out of the cave any further, and it will be too embarrassing to die inside.

With this in mind, he did not hesitate to burrow back into the only tunnel in the stone wall behind him, and climbed forward vigorously, and this time it didn't take long to return to the space of the upper stone wall. Passing through the same tunnel twice, but for different lengths, made him even more convinced that the previous time he was confused.

Without thinking much about it, he continued to drill back, and now he just wanted to get back to the first layer of space as soon as possible.

At least there, and Li Chengcheng, one more person will not be so lonely and terrible.

After going back through four or five tunnels without looking back, he was so tired that he sat down on the ground and prepared to rest for a while. But this time he stopped, it was terrible, he found that the nine Buddha statues on the stone wall actually stood up!

You must know that there is only one hole in the way you go back, and there is no other option at all, which means that it is impossible to go back wrong. But now, the "sitting Buddha" has all become "standing Buddha", and the fifth Tingyun dares to guarantee that there is absolutely no standing Buddha in all the previous stone wall spaces, which can only show that he has gone wrong!

He faintly felt bad in his heart, and hurried to the hole he had just climbed out, but he didn't find the "cloud" mark he left before.

"It's over...... I'm completely lost now......"

Originally, because there was only one way back, every time he climbed out of the cave, he didn't carefully check whether there was a "cloud" inscription at the entrance of the cave, which was not necessary. But now it seems that it is necessary, and if he checks it every time, he may be able to detect the mistake early.

But now, it was too late to find out, and he didn't know where the previous layers of space were wrong, one wrong step, one wrong step, and it was impossible for him to return to his original route! Now, whether it was forward or backward, there was no mark of his "cloud" around the entrance of the cave, and if he wanted to return to the first layer of space, unless he had accumulated hundreds of lifetimes of character, maybe it would still be possible.

Whew.

Just when the fifth Tingyun was upset, a sound of breaking the sky suddenly sounded in the silent space.

"Who?!"

He was startled, then shouted angrily, and followed the voice, but saw nothing. However, although he didn't see anything, he could sense that there was a fluctuation of Yuan Force in front of the Buddha statue on the far left.

The Yuan Force Fluctuation was rising diagonally, and according to the upward route, the Yuan Force Fluctuation was rapidly approaching the left hand of the First Standing Buddha. Fifth, Tingyun stared at it, and saw that the standing Buddha was holding a scepter in his right hand, his left hand was bent at the elbow, and his palm was upward, holding a lotus flower.

Because it is a relief, the lotus flower also has a thickness.

And on top of the lotus, there is still a black scroll lying quietly, and the target of the Yuan Force fluctuation is here!

"Good guys!"

Fifth, Tingyun didn't have time to think about what that Yuan Force Fluctuation was, so he immediately cast a ladder cloud to fly over, wanting to intercept the black scroll in front of that Yuan Force Fluctuation.
