The course of the Jiuqu River is like a thick and crooked python, crawling between the mud and the end of the river in the distance.

The donkey's footsteps on the mud were significantly faster, and after four hours, the entrance to the valley was still at the same distance as before, and the two of them could even hear the wind whistling from the valley mouth.

"The situation is not right, according to calculations, it will only be more than ten miles at most from our previous place to the entrance of the valley, you see that we have been walking for so long now, and the distance is still like that." Han Qingxin questioned, the hazy fog was more like a maze, the ups and downs of the mood would be affected by the environment, and the itinerary was even more stagnant.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is a maze set up in the mountains, and there are very likely to be more than one array, so if you can get in, it's not so easy to get out." Zhu Beichen never told the terrifying desire in his heart, this should be a maze, but the worse situation is that this is likely to be a huge psychedelic killing array, with the geographical layout of mountains and rivers, and a nine-song array with a depth of dozens of miles.

This kind of thinking is ridiculous, Zhu Beichen himself has to deny it many times, preferring to believe that his judgment is wrong, if this is really the case, they may not be able to get out of this place in their lives. His expression was calm, but it couldn't hide his complex inner changes.

Few formations will be arranged in the mountains, and more often exist in the tombs and imperial tombs, as the guardian of the tomb owner's undead, or when the two armies are facing each other, they are used to rehearse the military situation and play a role in trapping the enemy and winning. And it is meaningless to set up a formation in the natural world, and it is even more appalling to set up a situation in the fog of the natural world, Han Qingxin understands this truth.

But this is indeed the case now, they have lost their way, and the geomagnetic disorder has caused the modern equipment to lose its practical significance, and the way along the river that has been thought to be correct has been confirmed to be unworkable.

"So what to do now, how to get there." She asked Zhu Beichen, she didn't know anything about the formation layout, and her only thought now was to hope for him, although his current performance was only half-baked.

"Do you have salt?"

Han Qingxin's expression was dazed, she was a little puzzled, at this time he would ask such a strange question.

"I don't like it when you're joking with me."

"It's a dirty solution, but I hope it works."

"You pour salt into the donkey's mouth, and when it is thirsty, it will naturally look for water, and if we follow the donkey, we will naturally ensure that our direction is always along the river."

This idea has nothing to do with the Yin Rune Sutra, nor is it what is recorded in the Yin Rune Sutra. The road to simplicity is sometimes the more complex the appearance, and the key to breaking the game is the simpler. He couldn't figure it out, the idea came to his mind almost instantaneously, and although it was a bit ridiculous, he was convinced that it was the right thing to do, and that it was the only way to get out.

If there really is a situation here, the creation of these fogs may not be so simple. It's not just the maze, there is even a phantom array hidden in the fog, and this change is often one. All the creatures in the illusion array may hallucinate, and the things in front of them may also be unreal, including the three donkeys in the team. They had always thought they were walking along the river, but even the river in front of them was an illusion.

Han Qingxin quickly understood his thoughts.

"You tell the donkey to find water, what if it dies of drinking, so much luggage, you come to carry it?"

"Don't get entangled, you look at it, don't let it drink up, it's really not good, I'll walk, use a donkey to explore the way." He firmly believes that this attempt will work, and it is the only way out for them, although risking his life is not something he wants to see.

A handful of salt was forcibly poured into the mouth of a Yunnan donkey, and the donkey cried with unwilling resistance.

The nearby Jiuqujiang Road is such a real existence in Zhu Beichen's eyes, and he keeps hinting to himself that all this is illusory, don't care too much.

The thirsty Yunnan donkey chose a very strange path, leading the two towards a route away from the Jiuqu River. Zhu Beichen's guess was right, the Jiuqu River in front of him was illusory, and there would not be the slightest moisture. The route of the Yunnan donkey is not straight, and every other distance, the donkey's head will make a small turn, which is in line with the twists and turns of the Jiuqu River Road. Han Qingxin rode on the back of a Yunnan donkey, pulling the rope all the time, not letting it touch a drop of river water. The entrance to the valley, which had been close at hand, was getting farther and farther away from the two of them, and visually they were moving in opposite directions until they were no longer in sight.

"Is your method really useful, originally the valley could still be seen, but now the shadows are gone, is it really okay to go like this?"

All the scenes in the mountains are weird, everything here is unreasonable, sometimes Zhu Beichen will wonder if the woman in front of him is real, maybe since that night, she has been an illusion of herself, and it is very likely that she disappeared with Nissan after that night. If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him would still be able to speak, the voice would have surrounded the ears.

"This is not only a maze, but also a phantom array, and what the eyes see may not be real."

"Are you real?" When Zhu Beichen added this sentence, he subconsciously touched the scimitar hanging on the back of the Yunnan donkey, and then gave up this absurd idea and couldn't help but shake his head.

"You can see if I'm real." A scimitar was unsheathed with an extremely fast momentum, and the sound of the blade breaking through the air was sharp and piercing, showing the deep knife handling skills of the knife wielder, and the cold blade was on Zhu Beichen's neck. With a slight shake, the sharp blade would cut through his smooth skin, oozing blood.

"Don't, don't come to the real thing, I'm joking, joking."

"Humph!" The scimitar was in its scabbard, but it took only half a second.

Han Qingxin unwrapped the package from the Yunnan donkey beside him, took out a military dagger and threw it to Zhu Beichen.

"Take it for self-defense, that scimitar may not always be useful, the situation here is too complicated, it has exceeded my expectations, sometimes you need to take care of yourself."

The words in the words were harsh, he didn't need a woman to take care of him. After taking the dagger handed by Han Qingxin, he saw that it was a sharp blade no more than 10 centimeters long, and the wavy serrations on the blade could easily cut through hard metal objects. He pinned the dagger to his waist.

The Yunnan donkey who led the way took advantage of the time when the two of them were distracted, and had already bent his head, chewing on the thick donkey lips, as if he was eating something, it was a green grass on the ground, but the Yunnan donkey was obviously not chewing grass.

The haze in the distance dissipated, and it was the entrance of a valley, which appeared in the field of vision of the two of them, and the cold air blowing out of the mouth of the valley a few hundred meters away even washed directly in front of the two of them, and the flowing air carried extremely heavy moisture.

Compared with the two, the valley that has long disappeared in the rear is not so real. Han Qingxin was very shocked in his heart, the heir of the Yin Fu was really as legendary, it was not simple, even this halfway person who entered the Dao, in just a few days, could actually see through this kind of powerful and magical phantom array.

"You won." There are no words that can express Han Qingxin's deflated mood at this moment, but in the bottom of his heart, he still hopes that Zhu Beichen can grow up faster and faster, because he may have to face more in the future.

The leather whip was whipped the back of the Yunnan donkey, and the beast tore and went crazy, and with a powerful force between his legs, he stepped on the ground with rows of hoof prints, and galloped towards the ancient entrance a hundred meters away, raising a large cloud of dust behind him.

Crazy woman, do you treat the beast like this, if you smoke it like this, it will hurt a lot. Zhu Beichen, who was breathing in a mouthful of dust, muttered in his heart, leading the other two Yunnan donkeys to catch up with the hoof prints in front of him.

The entrance to the valley is extremely wide, and the fog stops at the mouth of the valley. The valley is clear, and the humid air is particularly fresh. The cliffs on either side of the valley were steep, and the silhouette was exactly the same as the two had seen in the rear.

He somewhat understood, it turned out that everything in the formation was not so simple as an illusion, and the skills of the people who set up the formation were really superb. The valley I saw before was not an illusion, it was a mirage-like refraction of light, using the medium of this mountain mist, and the hand was grand.

Han Qingxin, who arrived at the valley mouth first, was standing in the middle of the entrance at the moment, staring blankly at a huge rock standing in the middle of the valley mouth. A few meters away, the Yunnan donkey lay on the ground, its limp limbs twitching and stretching weakly, its hooves slowly grinding the dirt on the ground.

"It's dead?" Zhu Beichen looked at the Yunnan donkey lying on the ground with questions.

The Yunnan donkey's mouth was dripping with bright red liquid, the hair around it was dull, the cortex on the donkey's back was cracked one after another, and the blood slowly overflowed.

"It drank the water of the Jiuqu River." Han Qingxin looked at Dashi intently.

After sparing the panting Yunnan donkey, Zhu Beichen discovered the words engraved on this boulder.

"This is Jin Wen." Zhu Beichen, who was close to him, explained. The combination of strokes and strokes of the text is in the same vein as the font contained in the first volume of the Yin Fu Sutra, and he will not forget it.

"It's the same text as the rubbings you have?" She had seen that Gu Tuo, in the hospital before, they checked all of Zhu Beichen's luggage, and this was the most eye-catching item.

"It comes from the same script, but the content is different, I don't understand this kind of writing, so I don't understand the inscription on this tablet either." He would love to read the meaning of the golden text, and if he could, he would also like to be able to read the golden text.

"Jiuqu Valley, ten thousand deaths."

"What?"

"I don't know much, the interpretation of Jin Wen is extremely difficult, this is the word that some ancestors can decipher over the years, just a few." Han Qingxin's eyebrows were slightly clustered, and the situation was not optimistic.
