I closed my eyes and stared, and I didn't speak for a long time.

Zhou Yan understood, "What I said is not right, I should let you rest first." Brother, should I help you to bed first or continue to soak in the hot water? ”

I opened my eyes, took a deep breath, took her hand and sat up, "As long as I wake up, I'll be fine", as I said I looked at the wet clothes on my body, "I took out my phone or something, right?" ”

She smiled, "I can't think of this?" Don't worry, it's all set up for you, if you can get up, then go to the bed and cover the quilt first, change this clothes and I'll dry them for you. ”

"You're not in a hurry to ask me why?"

"Wait until you slow down and then tell me," she said, standing up, "Shall I help you to bed?" ”

I shook my head, "I'll have to take off this dress and dry myself, it's not appropriate to be naked in front of you." You go out and wait a while, and in five minutes you come in, with your key card. ”

"I don't mind, you're still embarrassed?" She looked at me, "I'll help you to bed, although you have no problem talking, I think you still don't have the strength." ”

"In this case, you go to the door first, I'll change my clothes and wrap some around with a bath towel", I was a little embarrassed.

She nodded generously, "Okay." ”

In fact, she was right, although my voice was basically smooth, but this body was soft and weak, and I didn't have much strength. After helping me out of the tub, she turned and went out, and I struggled to take off my wet clothes, take a bath towel and wipe it, then wrap around my body, and then open the door.

She helped me to the bed, covered me with the quilt, and then turned to leave, but I grabbed me.

"I'll dry your clothes," she said.

"Put the clothes there first, and when I fall asleep later, it's not too late for you to dry them," I said, "Where is Feng Yong?" ”

"He's in his room, I'll call him if you want to see him," she pulled out her phone.

"No," I shook my head, "don't let him come." ”

"Okay, don't let him come, I'll accompany you", she looked at me, "Brother, you can talk about it now, what's going on?" ”

I took a deep breath, "Actually, I don't know exactly what the reason is, but I have a hunch that this will happen, so I ordered you in advance." The Nine Palace Dome seems to be a little different from what Shen Qing described, there is no spirit in it, there is the ice chalcedony you gave me, and I am not afraid of poisonous gases-hey, by the way, what about the ice chalcedony? ”

"You fainted when you saw me, and when Feng Yong just picked you up in the car, you woke up, spit out the chalcedony and stuffed it into me, and then you fainted again," she said.

"Oh, that's good," I breathed a sigh of relief, "I threw up once in the maze, but luckily the ice chalcedony didn't come out under the tip of my tongue." ”

"Don't worry, ice chalcedony is safe, you continue," she said to me.

"There are no spirits in there, and I'm not afraid of poisonous gas, but I didn't expect to be hit by voodoo", I paused, "Now that I think about it, Shen Qing's talisman water is eighty percent the antidote to that voodoo." ”

"Voodoo?" She frowned, "What kind of voodoo is that?" ”

I looked at her, "I don't know." ”

"If you don't know, why would you solve it?" She didn't understand.

"I was plotted by someone before, and I was hit by a kind of stone fish poison ointment, that is, voodoo", I said, "Ye Huan healed my wounds that time, and he used hot water." When I told you, I didn't expect to be poisoned, I only knew that I might be unconscious, and the hot water could save my life, so I arranged it like that. ”

"It's very dangerous, but it's also amazing," she said with emotion, "This is a master of mathematics, you don't need to understand the reason too much, you just need to know what to do." ”

I smiled faintly, "It's almost, but there are no absolutes in everything, and some things are better to understand in your heart." ”

She nodded, "So what do we do next?" ”

"This is already at the juncture," I said, "if we want to go back safe and sound, it is not enough to plan and calculate, we must also act quickly." Let's go back early the day after tomorrow, and then go directly to the four-dimensional backbone to find the star energy map, and before sunset the day after tomorrow, Jiuqu Ruyi must be sealed. ”

She was stunned for a moment, "Brother, time is too tight, right?" Is it in time? ”

"I have two life and death passes in this Shen family's basement," I said, "Today is the first time, and the day after tomorrow is the second time, which should happen in the treasure room." If my inference is correct, the search for the star energy map will be particularly smooth the day after tomorrow, and the key is the final sealing step. ”

"You'll be fine," she paused, "won't you let me go up the mountain?" I've got to do something, right? ”

"You don't know how dangerous it is in that basement," I said, "and as I said, if you enter the basement, Shen Qing should not be at ease." ”

"But I'm always watching from the sidelines, and I'm in a hurry, and it's not a thing!"

"All you need to do is protect yourself", I said, "as long as you're down the mountain, we have hope, you know?" ”

"But what can I do?" She scoffed.

"It's a secret, you'll know when the time comes", I smiled, "go dry the clothes, I want to sleep." ”

If it's a game of chess, it's time to come at my pace.

Two days later, we returned to the factory, and Shen Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't afraid that I would run away, but that I wouldn't be able to recover and affect the progress of things. Now that I'm back in good spirits, her heart is finally let go.

"When are we going to start next?" She asked.

"Without further ado, let's go up the mountain", I said, "I've already figured out the path to the Nine Palace Dome, let's go directly to the four-dimensional backbone to find the star energy map." ”

"Really?" She couldn't believe her ears, "Just go and find the star energy map?" ”

"Of course it's true," I said, glancing at her, "hurry up, we'll get things done by noon." ”

"Why before noon?"

"Because there's voodoo in the basement, it will rise up at noon," I said, "and that's why I was poisoned two days ago, so this time, I have to time it." ”

"I understand", she nodded, "Then I'll pack up my gear, let's go up the mountain!" ”

This time, she brought an extra knife.

We came to the mountain, entered the secret passage again, and after walking a dozen steps, she suddenly grabbed me, "Lin Zhuo, where is the gecko?" ”

"I let it run last time, but I don't dare to come this time."

"Estimates?" She was stunned, "How sure are you?" ”

"I only know that things will go well today, so the gecko that doesn't have long eyes will come to make trouble, so you can rest assured that you can go with me!" I said and continued to walk inside.

She hesitated, took a few steps, and followed.

After entering the Nine Palace Dome, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva, "This is the labyrinth...... Doesn't it look special? ”

"If you're obsessed with it, you'll know it's powerful," I said, "don't talk until you get to the secret room, follow closely, there's voodoo in one of the rooms you pass by, and if you see me wandering, you're going to help me through quickly, understand?" ”

"Understood!" She paused, "What is voodoo?" ”

I didn't have time to explain it to her, so I took her through the labyrinth, where time is life, and if you slow down, you won't be able to do the rest of the work.

When I came to that room again, my eyes lit up like last time, and then I felt dizzy, but it was much lighter than it was two days ago. Last time, I thought it was aura chaos, but now I understand, there is still something about voodoo.

Shen Qing saw that I was not in the right state, so she hurriedly supported me, followed the direction I pointed, and walked out of the room quickly. When I came out, I felt better, and she never felt sick - which meant that my guess was right, that the rune water was the antidote to voodoo.

After passing through a few more rooms, we finally came to the entrance of the secret passage.

Shen Qing didn't think much of the boxes, but looked at the stairs in the secret passage and hesitated, "This is too easy to find, right?" ”

I looked at her and said, "You should try it yourself." ”

She was embarrassed, "I didn't mean that...... I mean, can this prevent outsiders from entering the backbone of the fourth dimension? ”

"That's enough," I said, "I don't believe you let your bodyguards in and see if they can find you." ”

"Okay, you didn't say anything", she shone her flashlight on the stairs, "will you go straight down?" ”

"Well, you're in front, I'm behind you," I said, "there's no danger down there, don't be afraid." ”

"Okay, let's go!" She's crisp.

The stairs are very wide, polished very smooth, and there are lamp troughs on the stone walls on both sides, which is very exquisite. After going down more than twenty steps, we entered a curve, and around the curve, a wide stone chamber appeared in front of us. The air here is noticeably more humid, but the smell of fish is less.

"Lin Zhuo, there are no other doors in this room", she looked at me, "What should we do?" ”

I pointed to the ground, "Count how many floors there are." ”

She counted carefully, "Thirty-six." ”

I also looked at the top of the stone chamber, and I could clearly see some reliefs on it, carved as if they were star charts.

"The top is engraved with a diagram of the Tiangang assembly", I thought for a while, "and the floor is divided into thirty-six palaces below, that is to say, the absence on the map is where the passage to the other stone markets is located." ”

The so-called absence refers to the position of the dark main star on the star chart. The stars on the star chart are not the same as the stars in astronomy, and are divided into four categories: imaginary, light, dark, and extinguished. Among them, the dark star represents the inner power behind things, which can often determine life and death, and the most powerful one in the dark star is called the dark main star, and its position is called absence. In different star charts, according to different combinations, the dark main star will also be different, for example, in this Tiangang assembly diagram, the absence of the dark main star, combined with the following 36 house charts, should be under the sixth floor in front of us.

But I kept an eye on it, I didn't say it, but let Shen Qing deduce it.

Shen Qing observed and calculated, and finally pointed to the sixth floor in front of the left, "There!" ”

"Okay, it's better for you first, I'll follow you behind", I said.

She walked to the floor and knocked on it, but it was empty, and then she pulled out her knife and cocked the slab up, revealing the dark passage below.
