Chapter 746: Blood Pool
There must be a road to the Blood Brake Array around here!
When I realized this, my feelings became complicated, on the one hand, excitement, and on the other hand, deep worry.
I was excited because I concluded that the things that the old Jin family had guarded for generations were hidden in the Brake Blood Array, and the disappearance of Lin'er and Lao Ruan's shadows should also be related to the Brake Blood Array. I am worried because since ancient times, all the blood arrays arranged by the masters of the organs are very powerful, and I am afraid that the blood arrays arranged by the old Jin family can be entered, but I may not be able to get out.
After a brief hesitation, I picked up my flashlight and carefully looked for something like a secret passage or secret door around me.
Anyway, there is no other way to go now, let's find the Blood Brake Array first, as for whether to enter or not, it depends on the situation.
It's not too far from the ground, and a lot of vegetation roots hang down directly from the top of the head, and there are a lot of roots lying on the stone walls on both sides, and I hit the light into the cracks of the roots, and the stone walls behind the roots seem to be painted with black mud, and the reflective texture has a very jerky feeling.
I pulled out my teeth, ran my arm through the gap in the roots, and scraped against the stone wall, and it did scrape off a lot of wet mud.
However, these muds should not be obtained from local materials, there is no life on them, it is obviously from the dead gas swamp, the nearest swamp to the depression is also about ten kilometers away from here, and there are a lot of microorganisms growing in that swamp, and the dead air is not so heavy.
I suspect that these black muds on the stone walls may have been specially cultivated by the old Jin family.
Lin'er leaned over to me and whispered, "There's a Gu Seeker back." ”
I asked, "Did you come back with the message?" ”
"As it walked through the tunnel, it came across a living man, and he was very thin."
"Male or female?"
"Male."
Yo, man, the living person he encountered in Gu Xun is likely to be He Baoyuan, after He Baoyuan entered the Dragon Box of the Eight Heads Town before, he has not reappeared, why is he here again now.
I asked Lin'er where Xun Gu had met He Baoyuan. Lin'er couldn't give a clear answer, she just said that it had been an hour since Xun Gu met that person, there were many intricate branches in the tunnel, and Xun Gu got lost as soon as he was released, and this Xun Gu also found us by mistake, as for which branch road it found He Baoyuan, it itself is not clear.
Hearing Lin'er say this, I couldn't help but be a little suspicious, this way, the two of us have been walking in a straight line, where is the branch road?
Thinking so, I looked at the road where I came, and there was indeed only one main road, and I didn't see any other intersections.
"Where's the branch, your little bug can't be mistaken, right?" I asked Lin'er, and the beam of the flashlight passed over Lin'er's left shoulder, just enough to illuminate her face.
Lin'er said, "Searching for Gu will never go wrong. But the expression on his face was also a little suspicious.
I didn't delve into it, and I still lit it through the cracks in the roots of the tree with a flashlight.
As I passed by a dense clump of roots, I faintly heard the wind rushing in the stone wall, so I stopped and hit the light on the stone wall, which was completely covered by tree roots.
Lin'er also heard the wind and asked uncertainly, "Is it empty inside?" ”
I nodded.
The roots in front of me are so dense that the light can't pass through them at all, and I don't dare to smash the roots directly, after all, no one can tell whether the old Jin family has done anything on these roots.
I first withdrew from a distance with Lin'er, and then summoned karmic fire to test the void and reality around the roots of the tree.
It is very troublesome to arrange the mechanism near the blood brake array, and the general power mechanism is easily affected by the evil qi in the blood brake array and becomes less stable, so when arranging the mechanism, you can only use the thermal device as the power valve.
Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu Ban has taken the lead in his own works to put forward the concept of "thermal device", when Lu Ban had built a house for Lu Mourning Gong that can sense the changes of the four seasons, this house stands on the beach of the north water, there are 28 waterways in the house, each waterway is arranged according to the rules of the four heavens and 28 stars, whenever the temperature changes greatly, the 28 waterways can change the water temperature in the road according to the law of the movement of the stars, Keep the temperature in the house relatively constant for a long time.
It's just that this house has not been preserved, in 256 BC the state of Chu destroyed Lu, the king of Chu Kaolie thought that this house violated the principles of heaven and was a demonic thing, so he let people burn it, along with 28 waterways were also filled.
I suspect that with the skills of the old Jin family, it should not be difficult to make a similar thermal device.
The faint karmic fire traveled forward along the ground, and when it passed under the roots, the roots did not move, until the karmic wind rushed over the ground with a cold air, and the roots moved in unison.
They began to retract towards the top of the tunnel, which at first glance looked like they were alive, but when I looked closer to the top of the tunnel, I saw that there was a very hidden hole behind each of the tendrils, and they had been pulled into the hole by some kind of pulling force.
When all the roots were gone, I beckoned Lin'er to come with me.
After the roots disappeared, a circular doorway appeared on the stone wall, and the door was filled with dark crossbows in a circle, if I had broken the roots with a punch just now, and the crossbow arrows would have been fired in unison, I would have been killed on the spot, or at least I would have been pierced into a hedgehog, until I got into the doorway, and I still had palpitations.
There was a faint smell of blood wafting in the doorway, mixed with a little rancid smell in the middle, it couldn't be wrong, this must be the smell wafting from the blood array.
Legend has it that the Brake Blood Array is an evil formation built with the backbone of a living person and the blood of a corpse that has died no more than ten days ago, and it can smell the rancid smell, indicating that the Lao Jin family either directly used the corpse to set up the array, or put the evil corpse into the Brake Blood Array.
I didn't dare to be careless, so I deliberately slowed down and asked Lin'er to come to me and walk side by side with me.
When I first went deeper, the smell of blood continued to thicken, but I don't know when it began, this smell has not changed again, and it has remained at a barely bearable level.
It's just that as it goes deeper, the evil aura that permeates the air becomes heavier and heavier.
The Qi field was very chaotic, with a mixture of yin, evil, resentment, anger, and some other Qi fields, as if to merge all the filthy Qi in heaven and earth.
At the same time, I could also feel that this unusually chaotic evil aura came from a deep place under our feet.
The road was much longer than I had imagined, and we walked nearly twenty kilometers before we reached the edge of the Brake Formation.
At the end of the road, there is a high platform built on a stone wall, at this time, Lin'er and I stood on the edge of the high platform, stretched our necks and looked down, it was the blood array. The Jin family made such an arrangement, presumably to make it difficult for those who strayed into this place to retreat, after all, the people who can get here through the doorways full of organs are not ordinary people.
It is not easy to practice, and the old Jin family leaves a way for those who break the barrier, and to put it bluntly, it is also to accumulate merit for their own family.
I'm worried that something will happen to Lin'er, and I don't care about the old habits of men and women who don't kiss her, so I grabbed her wrist tightly and pulled her to my side, so that no matter what happened to her, I could rescue her as soon as possible.
Holding Lin'er with one hand, my other hand is holding a flashlight to light downward, and there should be a lot of cold candles buried in the blood array, not only to light, but also to see a transparent light in the blood pool, that light is red with orange, at first glance, the blood flowing under the high platform is scorching lava.
The pool of blood was dug into a slender and slender river, like a red river with a curve, and on both sides of the river were stone stalactites piled together, like shiny mountains, blocking my view.
I could only see a small pool of blood directly below the high platform, and I couldn't see what was going on behind these stalactite mountains.
As the blood flowed slowly, many wind holes of different sizes appeared in the evil qi coiled above the blood pool, and they were scattered everywhere irregularly, and from my angle, they looked like a large number of vortices hovering in the blood pool.
The things that the old Jin family has guarded for generations are likely to be buried in a corner of the blood pool, I can't help but feel a little difficult, speaking of which, the purpose of our visit this time was originally just to investigate what happened to the Jin and He families, and the real purpose of going into the mountains to find Taoyuan Township, as for what the old Jin family hid, it was not within the scope of the investigation, and the blood formation was extremely dangerous, so it was never a wise choice to go down rashly.
Just thinking about this, I felt Lin'er touch me, and when she reached out, she seemed to be in a hurry, and the tips of her fingers only rubbed against the cuff of my sleeve, and then retracted.
Just now, my attention was on the blood pool, and I didn't pay special attention to the situation on Lin'er's side, but now that my mind was led by her, I suddenly noticed that the temperature coming from her wrist was actually very cold, and that kind of touch was like touching an iron pipe soaked in ice water.
This is not the temperature that a living person should have!
My heart trembled, and I quickly turned my face sideways, only to find that it was not Lin'er who was being pulled by me at this time, but the woman with a slender waist and shoulders, this time I vaguely saw the outline of her side face, but I still didn't see her appearance clearly.
This guy appeared again and again, and every time I found her, she was ruined and disappeared in the next instant.
It's the same this time.
The silhouette of the woman flashed in front of me for a moment, and then disappeared into thin air, and my hand was empty, and my fingers were still in the same shape as when they grabbed Lin'er's wrist, but there was nothing in my hand.
I hurriedly glanced around, and at the edge of the high platform not far away, I saw Lin'er's hands holding the edge of the platform.
Quitting smoking is really painful, and friends who don't smoke should never get infected with this bad habit.
