After entering the cave, Ye Jiuqing soon found traces of artificial excavation, the stone wall leading to the depths of the cave was decorated with gold nuggets, this cave extended all the way to the depths of the mountain range, and the cave was covered with dust and cobwebs.

We walked forward with torches, and after a few hours, we saw a thick stone door with a pattern of rough lines, and the witches behind us were overjoyed when they saw it, and they spoke in a language I did not understand, but by their expressions, it was clear that these patterns made them feel close and familiar.

In the middle of the stone gate, there is a circular groove, I took out the bronze from my body, just enough to place it inside, after turning it hard, the stone door opened, all of which are consistent with the description of the person who came out of Lingshan.

Continue to go inside along the stone cave, and walk for a few hours, I faintly heard a faint sound of wind in my ears, we should not be far from the exit, and sure enough, after walking for a while, I saw a dense grass in front of me, Tian Ji was excited to speed up his pace, and when he was about to walk out of the hole, Xue Xinrou seemed to remember something, and suddenly rushed up and grabbed Tian Ji's arm.

Tian Ji has not come back to his senses, just turned around and the whole person has fallen, Ye Jiuqing quickly grabbed Tian Ji's other hand, I hurriedly went over to help, and finally pulled Tian Ji up, Tian Ji sat on the ground and gasped for breath, and we found that what we saw before was not grass at all, but the top branches and leaves of the dense woods.

Xue Xinrou said that she suddenly remembered just now that the person who left from Lingshan had said that before reaching the cave, he was blocked by the high mountain, and he found the cave by climbing along the mountain, which means that the exit of the cave we are now should be on the mountain.

I stood at the mouth of the cave and looked at it, it was another boundless dense forest, surrounded by an unclimbable ring mountain range, and below the cave was a bottomless cliff, if it wasn't for Xue Xinrou's alertness just now, Tian Ji would probably have fallen.

The people of the Wu tribe lowered the rope and climbed down with agility, and it didn't take long to see the rope being shaken, which meant that it was safe below, and we continued to descend from the cave to the edge of this dense forest.

As far as the eye can see, there are all lush and towering trees, these big trees do not seem to grow naturally at random, as if they are regularly side by side, and suddenly found that the Wu people who know the dense forest well and can easily drive the road, but now they are hesitant, I asked Xue Xinrou what is going on, after she talked with the Wu Clan, she told us that the trace of the Wu Clan's activities is far away from Moon Bay.

In this range, they can be familiar with shuttling in the forest, but they have not been here before, because they have lived in the dense forest for thousands of years, so they are even more afraid of this forest sea, and if they are not careful, they will get lost in it, and the consequences are self-evident.

Without the Wu Clan to lead the way, we are back to the original predicament, how to cross this forest sea has become the most headache for us, the Wu people are all standing behind us, it is estimated that they all pin their hopes on our group of oracles.

"Looking at their posture, they won't let us turn back, so we can only move forward, but we have to leave a way out." Ye Jiuqing said as he tore off a piece of fabric from his clothes and tied it to a branch of the big tree.

We walked aimlessly, not knowing what awaited us in front of us, but after walking for a long time, all the same towering trees were the same, and slowly we also found some rules from it, these trees are not growing here in a disorderly manner, and it seems to be arranged in an orderly manner to plan out the passage ahead.

At first, there was only one passage, but as we went deeper, the branches began to appear, and we walked through the dazzling passages like headless flies.

"Dead end!" Tian Ji stopped in front of him, took a deep breath, and turned to us.

Our front was blocked by a row of dense trees, and through the gaps, we found that the back of the trees was still densely packed with trees, and it was impossible to cross through them, and we couldn't remember the first time we had encountered that the road ahead had been blocked.

It was only when we were about to turn around and look for a new passage that we realized that the branches behind us were so intricate that we could no longer remember what we had walked through.

Even if we remember, it's hard to tell, because when we got back to the junction of the branches, we suddenly found that all the passages were the same, and no matter how we looked at them, it seemed that what we had feared at the beginning had finally happened.

We had lost our way in the woods, so we chose a passage to the left, leaving signs along the way to prevent us from going astray.

"This is not a solution, looking at these towering trees as if they are arranged here according to some law, we are afraid that we will not be able to get out at all if we walk around without a clue." Xue Xinrou said worriedly as she walked.

"The trees here are too tall and the shade is so dense that we can't even tell where we can go without a reference." Tian Ji looked up at the intertwined shade of the trees and said. "The person who came out of Lingshan also said that before arriving at the cave, he had lost his way in a sea of forests, and he should be talking about this, since he can come out, there should be some rules here."

Click!

As soon as Tian Ji's words were finished, there was a sound of something being stepped on from the soles of Gong Jue's feet, the road here was very smooth, mixed with some stones, and no one paid attention to what was under their feet after walking for so long.

All of us were focused on the soles of the palace lord's feet, and one of the stones he had stepped on had sunk down, and then we heard a loud roar from afar, rustling like the rubbing of leaves against each other.

Rumble!

Before we could react, we saw that the big trees on both sides of us suddenly began to squeeze from the left and right, we didn't expect that these towering trees could actually move, presumably the loud noises we heard before were caused by the big trees moving in other places.

As soon as we hesitated, the road had become narrow, and we hurriedly rushed out to the end of the road, and I glanced back as we ran, and the previous roads merged together, and those towering trees intricately changed positions with each other, and soon countless new roads appeared.

The most feared thing about this situation is that everyone is separated, and if you want to find someone here, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, Ye Jiuqing told everyone not to separate, Xue Xinrou loudly reminded the Wu clan to withdraw.

We fled aimlessly in the ever-changing woods, and we didn't stop out of breath until the loud noise in our ears slowly subsided.

"There's a hidden mechanism here, I should have sent it just now." Gong Jue gasped and said.

"What's more troublesome is that the trees here can be moved and repositioned, which means that the passage we pass through is not fixed at all, but constantly changing directions." I said worriedly, frowning. "So even if we leave signs along the way, it doesn't help, because if the trees change position, the previous passage will disappear and we ...... We're stuck here! ”

I didn't want to admit this fact, but the current situation is far more complicated and dangerous than we expected, since the palace lord can trigger the mechanism, there must be more than one mechanism here, but the road under our feet is full of all kinds of stones, we don't know which one will trigger the mechanism, so it can be said that we are trapped here now and it is difficult to move an inch.

"These trees should have been planted by the Lingshan Witch Clan when they were cultivating the Temple of the Snake God, the purpose was to prevent someone from breaking in, it is a huge labyrinth of trees." Ye Jiuqing lowered his head and thought about it. "When we came down from the cave before, this place was blocked by a ring mountain range, so it can be seen that this labyrinth should also be a ring shape, if I guess correctly, this labyrinth is the edge area of the Spirit Mountain."

"No wonder this witch clan can't find a way back to Lingshan." I looked at the bewildered people behind me, and I believed that when they built the cave of Mount Kinabalu, a maze of trees had already begun to be planted, perhaps their ancestors had tried to find their way home, but in the end they could not cross this labyrinth.

"Although these trees are tall, I think there are places to climb, and we will only sink deeper and deeper into this woods if we run around like this, and we still don't know the pattern here." Gong Jue looked up at a big tree next to us and said calmly. "Climb to the top of the tree, look into the distance, first see the environment here, and then decide how to go."

Gong Jue is right, the most important thing now is not to get separated, I am worried that I will accidentally trigger the mechanism again and cause a change, so now all the actions must be together, I let Tian Ji stay below to take care of Xue Xinrou, and I climbed the tree with Ye Jiuqing and Gong Jue.

It took a long time to climb to the top, and when we opened the branches in front of us, we opened our mouths in shock, and as far as the eye could see, there were all such towering trees, and they were as tall as they were to form a huge circular labyrinth.

There were countless passages intricately arranged in it, and there was no edge in sight, and we had walked for so long only to realize that the position we were standing on was only the edge of this circular labyrinth.

Don't say that you can see the passage out, even if you pass through here unimpeded, it will take a lot of time to pass through here, and the palace lord suddenly became more and more solemn, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

"What's wrong?" I saw the palace lord's expression was abnormal, and asked in surprise.

"This labyrinth is round, but I looked at it carefully for a long time, and this circle seems to be ......," the palace lord said sternly after taking a deep breath. It is a river map, a maze set according to the changes of the river map. ”

"Hetu?" We all looked at the palace lord. "Since you see that this place is set up according to the river map, is there a way to crack it?"

Gong Jue didn't even think about shaking his head, and told us, not to mention the river map, that is, the gossip that evolved later according to the river map has eighty-eight sixty-four different changes, and the beginning and the end are the same, the advance and retreat are impermanent, such as the twelve stars twisting the four directions, and the changes are endless.

The river map is the origin of all magic numbers, and the changes of the river map are more complicated, and there is only one real exit in the entire river map maze, but this exit must only be known to those who designed it.
