Consciousness freezes at a certain point in time.

I don't know if I'm dead in the past, because at that time, I barely had any thoughts flowing—no thinking, no vitality, everything was just eternal existence, undisturbed.

How long is that? Maybe it's a year, maybe it's billions of years, maybe it's a snap of a finger.

Death may have only one dimension, time does not exist, or it is meaningless.

There is a little thing, born in the calm, eternal, silent Dead Sea, which begins to sprout and then thrive. It has green leaves and red flowers, so it appears color; It breathed, and then there was a sound; It began to grow, and so it took on a shape...... My mind began to revive little by little, little by little, and the memories of the twenty-two years of my life were replayed like a movie, and then I thought of a question.

I am...... Is it dead?

No, I'm not dead, I'm still able to think, I'm still remembering everything, I'm still the "only" being in this world. I'm not dead, this towering tree that occupies my heart is the consciousness of the Golden Silkworm Gu, it calls me, Lu Zuo, Lu Zuo, you wake up, squeak...... Then, I felt like a bubble born at the bottom of the sea, rushing up to the surface without stopping.

I'm not dead, I'm still going to live, live well, for all the people I love.

……

When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by a lewd face, a miscellaneous hairy path.

I got up and looked at him vigilantly, and found that I was still in the room of the "Bagua Soul Locking Array" just now, with stone dings, broken flags, blue brick walls, and flashlights and backpacks on my floor. Miscellaneous Xiaodao sighed and said that you had finally woken up. Someone next to him said yes, yes, they were in a coma for half an hour.

I looked to the side, it was the third uncle and Zhou Lin, and there was a middle-aged man with a haggard face next to him, in rags, his left hand was broken at the elbow, and he was bandaged with a bloody cloth.

Zhou Lin smiled playfully, stepped forward to touch my head, and said Did you have a spring dream?

I tensed all over, and as soon as his hand reached over, I immediately grabbed it, bullied him, grabbed his waist tightly, and struggled to push it, and before I could prevent it, his 1.8 meter tall man was actually lifted up by me at once. He yelled, are you crazy?

Miscellaneous Xiaodao also looked surprised, and said Lu Zuo, what are you doing?

I grabbed Zhou Lin's clothes, damp, carefully put him on the ground, sat down, panted, and said that this time it was true.

Hearing me say this, the third uncle came up to me, squatted down, and asked me if I had just walked into this gossip soul locking array?

I nodded and said yes. Just now in the array, I met Zhou Lin, this kid, took me to a dark abyss, and then pushed me down. He praised me, helped me up, and said Lu Zuo, you are really powerful, and your mind is actually so firm? This gossip soul locking array, our Xiao family is also recorded, most of the people who broke into the formation were deceived by hallucinations in the array, thinking that they were dead, and the soul returned to the secluded mansion by itself, leaving a soulless body, and starved to death in a few days.

You believe that you are not dead, and you have a memory in your heart, so you can turn around.

I said that this is also thanks to the Golden Silkworm Gu, if it weren't for the call of this fat worm, maybe I would have really thought I was dead. This formation is too realistic, ferocious, and able to break through people's mental defenses - I, who am most afraid of darkness, and fear of heights, turned out to be a combination of the two at once. The third uncle laughed and said that thanks to Xiao Ming, if he hadn't struggled to move his eyes, "Rest, Life, Injury, Du, Death, Jing, Surprise, and Open" Eight Doors, maybe you would have to go through it all the time, good boy, you really have a lot of strength, and it was not in vain that the old man gave him so much effort.

I looked at the stone ding, and sure enough, there was a long black mark, which was a trace of movement.

After saying this, the third uncle introduced me to the "Yang Guo" who had a broken arm, and said that this was his fourth brother, Xiao Keming's uncle Xiao Yingwu. He was trapped in an eye in this underground complex for more than four days, and finally found them. I greeted him, and he smiled stiffly at the corners of his black mouth, and said in a bitter voice that it was hard work. What about one other person, I asked? Didn't find it? He shook his head and said that he was in the cave with Da Zhuang, so he got separated, and he found this place all the way according to the clue (), but he didn't know if there was anything wrong with Da Zhuang.

The third uncle asked me why I came in, didn't I wait outside with Lao Jiang.

I recounted what happened before, and his face turned cold, saying that the uncle also fled here because he was chased and killed by the Gan giant. Those animals, I have heard of them before, but they don't hurt people very much, how come they become so violent when they get to this ditch? I shook my head and said no, such a thing as cutting off the head and cutting off the belly doesn't look like a big man like the Gan giant can do it, and the head altar, Duoduo said, the Gan giant can only do some rough work...... In the middle of my sentence, I suddenly stopped, and a trace of horror spread over me.

The third uncle stopped halfway through listening to my analysis and asked what's wrong?

I shuddered and asked them if they had seen Duoduo?

No, they all said no, when I came, I saw me lying on my back on the ground, flashlights, backpacks are scattered, this little girl, isn't it in the Huaimu card? As soon as I heard this, I sank my mind into the locust wood card with hope, but there was still nothing, and it was empty. I was very depressed, and it seemed that when I stepped into the formation, the little demon Duoduo was taken away by something.

I turned around and looked at the stone ding.

In the illusion in the array just now, I was looking for the flowers there, but in reality, is it also there?

I ignored them, turned around and walked to the left corner, followed the pattern of the legs of the stone tripod, climbed the stone tripod, and looked inside. Inside is a stone trough, and at the bottom of the layer is grease and dust, and nothing else. My heart was suddenly struck by the loss, and I slid down the stone tripod, leaning on the tripod foot, and my face showed sadness that could not be concealed.

Miscellaneous Xiaodao nervously asked me, is the flower missing?

I nodded and smiled bitterly, and this smile was like crying.

Taking a deep breath, I asked the third uncle, what is the underground building in this cave? They shook their heads, saying that it was a mausoleum, but there was no coffin, and it looked like a place to hide soldiers, or an altar. Of course, they are not professional tomb robbers, so naturally it is not clear. I said I'm going to find Duoduo, but if I don't find her, I won't go out. The third uncle nodded and said This is nature, since you are here for us, Duoduo is lost, naturally we have a responsibility, let's look for it together.

One more person is one more help, and I won't shirk it for the sake of Duoduo. I told them all the reasons for coming into the room.

The third uncle shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying that the mark he made was to indicate that this room was a big murderer and should not be entered.

He was so angry that I vomited blood, and I didn't remember anything, which made me in trouble now. We started looking to see if there was anything in this room that could take away a demon like Duoduo. I flipped over the pile of broken flags and summoned them with my thoughts. She didn't have an echo, those broken flags, they broke when they were touched, the third uncle sighed a pity, this flag is a good array weapon, but after so many years, the effect is not great, and the material itself is not good......

After looking for it, but to no avail, the third uncle took out a compass made of red copper from his backpack, with fifty-four layers of concentric circles on it, and dense traditional Chinese characters were dotted between the spaces. He held it flat, put it in his hand, and then recited a few words of the consecration mantra. Then, the black magnetic needle in the middle of the compass began to sway from side to side, spinning incessantly.

His uncle leaned over and watched, and studied the GHK together.

After a while, the third uncle stopped and said that there is indeed a spirit here, but this formation is too strong, suppressing many non-attribute fields, it is difficult to determine, as far as the current clues are concerned, in addition to Duoduo, there is also a powerful spirit body, and this spirit body is the key person who presides over this "Bagua Soul Locking Array". Ying Wu, what do you think? The haggard uncle's eyes were bright, and he gritted his teeth and said yes.

He has been trapped by this ghost thing for the past few days, otherwise he would have gotten out a long time ago.

I was anxious and asked what you mean, do you mean that there is a spirit in this tomb, and it is this spirit that trapped you, uncle, and took Duoduo away?

Uncle sighed and said that for the past four days, like me, he has been trapped in this tomb—let's just say the tomb—and the other place is the "Four Elephants Array". The formation is like this, the more changes and complexities, the more ways to survive; The less change there is, it's either life or death. He had learned a little, and after walking a few steps, he didn't dare to move, so he stayed where he was and calculated a hexagram for himself, and the hexagram showed that there was a purple microstar, coming from the north, and when help was coming, he went on a diet and waited. In the past few days, he also has a compass, and he does not dare to move when he is idle, so he deduces divination according to it.

This place belongs to the palace, there is a sign of outer rigidity and inner softness, external heat and internal cold, and there must be a yin spirit.

He said it mysteriously, but I probably understood that there was a ghost here, a big ghost for an unknown number of years, and it was very dangerous. Okay, if there is, there will be ghosts, but what does it mean that it captures Duoduo? Is it to be a little lady in the village, or is it ...... Eat?

The essence belongs to energy, and between ghosts and ghosts, if the attributes are the same, there is always a way to devour them.

I couldn't wait for a quarter of an hour, so I pulled the third uncle and said let's go, take me to find it.

The third uncle frowned, didn't think about it for a few seconds, and then ordered Zhou Lin to take care of Xiao Yingwu, and then walked out of the door with the compass, followed the direction of the pointer, and walked in front to lead the way. I am grateful in my heart, the third uncle, not to mention anything else, is warm-hearted and has the demeanor of a leader. Let's go, the twists and turns along the way, it turned out to be exactly the same as the one in the illusion I just had, this scene made me wonder again, am I still in the formation, and I haven't come back?

I secretly recited the nine-character mantra, repeatedly knotted the "inner binding seal", and focused on the word "heart".

It's true - the "Qi" in the space is the most authentic feedback that comes back to me.

The third uncle turned to look at me, smiled kindly, and said Do you still suspect that this is also an illusion? I scratched my head embarrassedly, saying I was a little confused and unsure. Uncle patted me on the shoulder with his intact right hand and said it's okay to be careful, but don't make a bow and snake shadow, like this, it will affect your cultivation.

We continued to walk until we came to the corner in the illusion, and after that, instead of the abyss, we came to a hall that was dimly lit. There is a nice smell of sesame oil in the air, faint and charming. The third uncle took out a small bottle from his arms and shook it, opened the cap and looked at the color of the liquid inside, nodded, and said that it was okay.

Then we looked at the layout of the hall.

I saw patterns around the hall and on the ceiling, and when I approached it, I was shocked.
