Chapter 32: The Nine Palaces Hide the Secret

The mysterious man in black left suddenly, and we cut off the clue, thinking of following him down the vine to see if there was any other way out.

His whereabouts are unpredictable, which in turn is in line with his identity as a master.

"Uncle Xia, where do you think we should go now?" I asked him.

He didn't have a good time making a decision at this time, and after looking around, he said, "Sen, I think we have to find a way out on our own." There can't be only one exit from that gate here, and the cunning rabbit has three holes, let alone such a huge underground palace. โ€

"Hmm. The truth seems to be like this, so let's take a look, but be careful, there are many mechanisms in this. I nodded in agreement.

"Hey, Listen! Don't look, it won't reappear unless the man in black calls it. I think the dragon in this pool of blood has telepathy with him. Driven by her own curiosity, she kept staring at the pool of blood, and she couldn't give up; So I reminded her.

"Uh, okay. So what do we do next? Where to? She asked.

Obviously, in the current situation, we have to find an exit to be the best policy, but we have to take it step by step.

Although the underground palace is under construction, it is already in the middle stage, and many institutions have been set up. Living creatures are no threat to us, but the mechanisms here can kill us.

"Let's take a look. It's big here, you two come with me. Professor Xia said.

Although he said that he was leading the team, he seemed to be lacking in confidence, and he looked around with a dazed expression.

"Then let's go." Ling Xin nodded slightly.

We followed Professor Xia up the stone steps to a platform.

The floor of this platform is carved with bizarre patterns that look like runes, similar to the Arabic kind.

"What kind of text is this?" I wondered.

"It's a spell." Professor Xia patted me on the shoulder and said.

"Spells?" Lingxin subconsciously took a step back.

We're already in the realm of it, and even if we take a step back like Lingxin did, it obviously won't help. If it is a spell, we will not escape.

"Dad, look! The stone steps are gone. "Let's turn around and look.

At some point, when we focused our attention on the strange words, the stone steps behind us had disappeared, and the entire platform was suspended in the air.

"Oops!" Professor Xia ran to the edge of the platform to probe the situation and exclaimed.

This platform is higher than the rest of the entire underground palace, second only to the sacrificial platform. There was nothing on it except for the strange writing carved into the floor.

Faced with such a situation, we are like ants on a hot pot, so anxious that the stone steps disappear, which means that we have to challenge the abyss below it.

The stone staircase is about 10 meters long, and now it has disappeared, causing the entire platform to hang in the air, not to mention how we will get there, and whether it will fall because of it is worrying.

After some searching, we couldn't find any triggerable traps. Ling Xin squatted down in frustration, buried his head and hugged his legs, looking very depressed.

"Sen, do you have a way to crack it?" Professor Xia asked. From the helpless expression on his face, it can be seen that as an archaeological expert, he has no way to take this place.

Judging by that aspect, there is no pattern to follow in the weirdness here, and even the air is mysterious.

"Give me some time, I'll think about it." Seeing that he was still staring at me, I said to him.

The construction of the "Dragon Tomb" is ingenious and natural. It has always been a mystery among the people, and little is known, and the platform we are trapped on now speaks for itself.

"All things are gathered in things, and then follow things." This is what my father once said to me. The gist of this sentence is: There are laws and traces to follow.

However, now this sentence is not even a hint of direction, but it suddenly flashed in my head.

For my father, who has already achieved great success in the Kanyu technique, how can I understand the mystery of this skill.

Perhapsโ€”I'm too early to tell. The arrangement of the strange words on the ground resembles the pattern involved in an ancient book that my father gave me: the Nine Palaces Hidden Secrets.

The so-called "Nine Palaces Hidden Secluded" is an architectural concept in Kanyu Studies, which is arranged according to the ninety-nine-eighty-one hexagrams, and the combinations are different, and the patterns are also different.

If we have to talk about its actual application and reconciliation method, it seems to be more than one thousand and one nights.

Although I don't know the characters on this earth, I can still infer what kind of arrangement it belongs to in the Nine Palaces according to the arrangement of each of its characters.

With the word in the center of the circular nine-palace hidden pattern, according to the hexagram retrograde, each next word forms a turn, layer by layer, until the end of the last point, during which no mistakes can be made, otherwise the whole picture will be destroyed.

For me, who has never had actual combat experience, solving problems is a completely fatal thing. Moreover, the destruction of the whole picture means that our lives are in danger.

"Sen, Sen." Professor Xia shook his hand in front of me and called me.

I was moving the pattern in a logical way, and I wanted to get mad when he interrupted my train of thought like this.

However, when he noticed my angry eyes, he was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground.

Maybe it's that inexplicable blood in the brain that makes it a little difficult for me to control my temper.

Seeing this, I quickly grabbed his hand so that he avoided falling.

"I'm sorry, Professor Xia. When I'm thinking about something, I'm annoyed that people interrupt my train of thought, otherwise I might lose my temper. "I tried to squeeze my facial muscles to get a smooth, decent-looking smile.

"It's okay, it's okay." He let go of my hand, stood up and waved his hand.

I could see that he was startled by the terrible look in my eyes, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

At this time, Ling Xin glared at me fiercely, and I could read from her eyes: if I scare her father like this coldly, she will have to fight with me.

"That's right, Uncle Xia. I came up with a solution, but I didn't know if it would work. I avoided Lingxin's murderous eyes and turned back to the point.

"Sen, you might as well talk about it." Professor Xia wondered.

"Well," I nodded, "this picture belongs to the category of the Nine Palaces Hidden Hidden Map, and we have a better chance of getting out of it by unlocking it." โ€

As for what is the Nine Palaces Hidden Secret, there is a rule at home, not to reveal too much with outsiders, perhaps this is also a tacit rule in the industry. So even if they don't ask, I don't want to explain too much, because some things are distorted.

"Well, I believe you. You do what you want. Professor Xia smiled and encouraged.

"Sen, I see that you have half a tank of water, do you have confidence?" Ling Xin blurted out a slight scornful joke.

As soon as she said this, Professor Xia subconsciously covered her mouth. "Dad, what are you doing?" Lingxin broke free of his hand and wondered.

At this time, Professor Xia saw my embarrassment, and winked at Ling Xin, suggesting that she should not continue.

At this time, I had no choice but to pull Professor Laxia, smiled at him and shook my head, "Uncle Xia, it's okay." Lingxin is right, I am not good at learning, but speech is free. I smiled and turned away.

I have never felt such a heartache, and the words that pierced my heart were like a sharp knife, cutting my heart so painfully.

"Sen, are you alright?" Professor Xia asked softly behind me.

I tried to calm myself down, and when I found a nonchalant expression, I turned away.

"It's okay, I just got a bug in my eye." I pretended.

"I'm sorry, Sen. I don't know what's wrong with me just now, if I say something wrong, don't take it to heart. Lingxin smiled and said to me. She realized her unintentional mistake, and I didn't blame her, but I was a little ashamed.

"What are you talking about? I just rubbed my eyes. I did my best and smiled.

I may be able to hide my heart from such a disguise, but I definitely can't hide it from Professor Xia.

Professor Xia patted me on the shoulder and changed the subject: "Sen, what is the solution you have in mind?" โ€

"To unravel the pattern, you have to draw its context." I say.

"Context, how do you find out?" Professor Xia wondered.

"I have my own way." I said confidently. Because I was struck by Tingxin just now, I had to muster up courage and be full of confidence.

I've never been so concerned about what a person thinks of me, but listening to my heart has made me do it.

Human beings are emotional creatures, and sometimes when faced with the problem of "the speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional", it inadvertently hurts people's self-esteem or is hurt by self-esteem.

"Look at me!" I added.

In order to draw the context of this Nine Palaces hidden ghost, I took out a knife and cut my finger, ready to paint it with blood.

I was dumbfounded by this move, and Professor Xia was surprised: "Sen, what are you doing!" Lingxin was silent, and she was impressed by my actions.

I stretched out my hand and motioned to him to leave me alone: "It's okay, this picture needs to be sacrificed with blood." โ€
