"Witch Gu...... Tribe? The others didn't understand what Shangguan Kangning meant at all, and they showed a confused expression.

"To put it simply, the so-called witch tribe is a place where people who raise witch Gu live, and almost everyone who lives in this tribe can raise Gu.

The Gu worms at that time were different from now, the Gu worms at that time were for the purpose of war, so the number of Gu worms was very large, and it was also very difficult to control, in order to suppress the tyrannical habits of these Gu worms, many methods were used to suppress them.

To put it simply, at that time, all the people of a tribe raised Gu, and all the people gathered their strength together to cultivate an army of Gu worms, and the place where these Gu masters gathered together to live was called the Witch Gu tribe.

Every person who lives in the tribe is a Gu master, they have a unique Gu cultivation method, and all of them can gather together to cultivate an army of Gu worms that can resist the army. ”

After saying these words, Shangguan Kangning didn't say more, after all, what he said, it was difficult for several other people to understand, and the only way to make several other people understand immediately was to explain it with the help of facts.

Shangguan Kangning walked around the neighborhood, as if looking for something, while the attention of the other five people was all focused on Shangguan Kangning.

Probably because the waterfall blocks the sound of the water outside, in the space behind the water curtain, the sound of the water is not so loud, except for the soft sound of the water, this space isolated behind the waterfall is still very quiet. At this time, none of the six people spoke, and could only hear the footsteps of Shangguan Kangning walking around.

After walking in this cave for a long time, Shangguan Kangning chose a place, and he took out a jar-like thing from his backpack, this jar looked black at first glance, and several other people looked at it for a while before they realized that it was actually transparent, and the reason why it looked black was because it was filled with dense black Gu worms.

After lowering the jar in a relatively flat place, Shangguan Kangning opened the lid of the jar. The Gu worms in the jar crawled out one by one, and after a while, the Gu worms in the jar gathered together, forming a black sphere the size of a football. Then the sphere suddenly collapsed, and all the Gu worms crawled in all directions.

At first glance, the crawling direction of these Gu worms is random, but if you look closely, you will find that these Gu worms are very particular when crawling.

When these Gu worms crawl, they either line up in a straight line, or form a pattern. After staring at the crawling path of these Gu worms for a long time, Chen Ziyang realized that these Gu worms were crawling according to the patterns carved on the stones.

In this space of nearly 10,000 square meters, there are countless stones, which seem to be chaotic, but in fact, all the stones have some looming patterns on them, and these patterns are combined to form a huge picture.

This picture looks meaningless in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Chen Ziyang and Jin Huang, this is clearly a huge talisman, but Fulu's painting method is different from that in Maoshan Technique, it should be another vein of the master's inheritance, and these talismans are connected together to form a formation.

The Gu worms released by Shangguan Kangning were crawling and gnawing on the moss that grew on the stones, but they were actually cleaning up the patterns carved on the stones and eating the moss that grew on the patterns.

After a while, these Gu worms crawled to their respective positions. Chen Ziyang, who suddenly woke up, hurriedly found a relatively high place and leaned over to look down.

Looking at it condescendingly, he saw it more clearly, and Chen Ziyang found that these Gu worms had eaten all the moss on the surrounding stones, and these Gu worms replaced the original moss and lay on the lines that were carved on the stones, forming a huge pattern.

This pattern connects all the patterns carved on individual stones that everyone has found, and the meaningless patterns are connected together, forming a very illusory pattern.

The area of this formation is very wide, covering almost every stone with a pattern that everyone can see.

"You see, this pattern is the means used by the Witch Gu tribe to suppress the tyrannical temperament of the Gu worms." Although these words came from Shangguan Kangning's mouth, his eyes also showed a look of excitement that could not be concealed.

After all, the age is very old, and this kind of formation specially used to suppress Gu insects is the first time he has seen it with his own eyes, although he knew some theoretical knowledge before, but when he really saw this pattern, Shangguan Kangning was still very excited.

Because of the age, some parts of this huge formation pattern are missing, and it seems that some of the stone pillars that make up this pattern have collapsed, but it does not hide the grandeur of this formation in the slightest.

"This kind of formation is called the Witch Gu Tribe Formation, and it is a formation used to suppress Gu worms that can only be maintained by many Gu masters gathered together to control it. It has only one function, which is to make tyrannical Gu worms obey people's commands.

Such formations are also strong and weak, the strongest formation is indecent to a million army, even the weakest Wu Gu tribe's formation, only blessed by a few dozen people, can resist thousands of troops. Judging from the scale of this formation, this should be the largest one. ”

Hearing Shangguan Kangning's explanation, an idea popped up in Chen Ziyang's heart, although he didn't know why Yuan Tiangang's treasure was linked to the Wu Gu tribe, but he estimated that all of this was inseparable from the Gu master of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Perhaps after the fall of the Nanzhao Kingdom, Yuan Tiangang obtained these formations left over from the Nanzhao Kingdom by chance, so he used the local Gu masters and the ruins of these witch tribes to build the treasures he left behind.

In addition to being shocked, Chen Ziyang and Jin Huang exchanged glances, and both of them saw a hint of other meaning in each other's eyes. In the eyes of others, this formation seemed to have no other meaning than grandeur and shock, but in the eyes of the two Maoshan descendants, it had another meaning.

"Brother Jin, do you see that?" Chen Ziyang whispered in Jin Huang's ear. Hearing Chen Ziyang's question, Jin Huang nodded slowly.

Although there were a lot of parts missing from this huge formation pattern, in the eyes of these two people, they all saw a deeper meaning. Although the two of them had no objection that this formation could suppress Gu worms, they knew that the significance of this formation was more than that.

Shangguan Kangning was a Gu master after all, what he knew was only related to Gu, and he didn't know much about the formation.

Maybe more than a thousand years ago, there was indeed a formation like the Wu Gu tribe, but it should not be as complicated as the formation in front of you, this formation is actually a transformation of a Taoist formation.

"Brother Jin, you are the Maoshan Formation Master, this field is well known to you, and I can only roughly see a clue, how to crack it depends on you."

At this time, Chen Ziyang's heart was surging, the existence of this formation just confirmed one point, that is, what should be here is indeed the treasure left by Yuan Tiangang, and every detail of the entire formation reflects the Taoist demeanor, and the only thing that is lacking is the location of the array.

Jin Huang picked up some broken stones on the ground, drew the outline of this formation in a blank space on the ground, and then he placed these broken stones in the corners of the formation, and the place where the stones were placed was actually the foundation of the entire formation.

While deducing, Jin Huang kept moving these broken stones, obviously deducing the method of breaking the formation, and Chen Ziyang had also learned some deduction methods from Zhang Linfu before, and he assisted on the side, and Jin Huang and the two of them kept studying.

"Count the third pillar from the east and see if you can turn it." After deducing for a while, Chen Ziyang pointed to a stone pillar in the distance and said to several other people.

Xu Xiaoyuan and Yang Lei were closest to the stone pillar, and the two of them walked there together, and after holding the stone pillar and trying it, the eyes of both of them showed surprised expressions.

The pillar looked very strong, but in fact, when the two people put their four hands on the surface of the pillar and rotated it in one direction, the two people could clearly feel that the pillar could really be turned.

From the expressions on the faces of these two people, Chen Ziyang and Jin Huang had already gotten the answers they wanted, so the two of them hurriedly gave an order for Yang Lei to rotate the stone pillar in a clockwise direction.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them kept deducing from the pile of stones in front of them, giving one command after another, while the other four people kept running around in this cave, according to the instructions of the two people, kept turning one stalagmite-like stone pillar after another.

Now Shangguan Kangning's jaw was about to hit the top of his feet, he originally thought that it was very remarkable that he had discovered that this was a witch tribe, but he never thought that there were so many mysteries hidden here, so he took the initiative to join the team of turning stalagmite stone pillars.

Chen Ziyang was really excited, he felt that it was the right choice for him to pull Jin Huang in, without Jin Huang's deduction, with his own efforts, it might take longer to discover this very deep hidden stone pillar.

But the situation is different now, this huge formation that seems to be composed of patterns like Gu books, in the eyes of the two people, is completely a deformation of a Taoist formation.

As the stone pillars rotated according to the instructions of the two people, the pattern composed of the Gu worms released by Shangguan Kangning kept changing. Not long after, when the last stalagmite pillar was turned, the entire cave floor shook suddenly.

With the sound of "boom", in the middle of the entire cave, a large area suddenly slowly sank, revealing a pitch-black space.

"Haha, sure enough, sure enough!" Chen Ziyang and Jin Huang clapped their palms with each other excitedly, this formation had been completely cracked under the efforts of the two of them.

The exposed space was surrounded by stone staircases that led downward, and it was clear that it was supposed to be where the treasure was.

Shangguan Kangning's mouth opened into a huge "O" shape, not even much smaller than the passage in which it appeared.

The current Shangguan Kangning admires Chen Ziyang for throwing himself to the ground, and he is also very glad that he agreed to join the team of this treasure hunt, otherwise, he would not have known so many secrets, and even got a bone-eating insect that was extinct 1000 years ago. And most likely, if he goes any further, he might get something more, which makes him very excited.

Six people walked down the passage that appeared. The steps were also covered with moss, and they were very slippery, and several people had to support each other to be able to stand on them.

After a careful walk, the moss on the stone steps decreased significantly, probably because the space was insulated from moisture.

The stairs were not very long, and after walking down the stairs for more than 20 meters, everyone came to a small room.

The room was surrounded on all sides by rock walls, apparently carved out of the mountain, and at the end of this section of stairs there was a small arch, sealed by a stone arch on which a motif of a worm was depicted.

"That's right, this symbol is the symbol of Nanzhao, that is, the Gu book pattern of the most Gu insects they have cultivated, and this should indeed be the site of Nanzhao." Shangguan Kangning looked at this pattern and preached excitedly.

After arriving here, Shangguan Kangning took out the bottle containing the ground green worm that he had put in his backpack.

At this time, the two ground worms moved again, the two insects held four tentacles high, and kept shaking in the direction of the stone gate, and the feet of the two insects kept wriggling, obviously trying to move in this direction.

It seems that behind this stone gate, there is something that attracts two ground green insects, and it is very likely that the thing that attracts them is the female worm of the sun and moon nose worm.

Walking forward, Chen Ziyang tentatively pushed the stone arch, but what everyone didn't expect was that this seemingly heavy stone door turned out to be hidden. Under Chen Ziyang's push, it was turned on backwards, and no mechanism was triggered.

Because of the difference in air pressure inside and outside the stone gate, the moment the door was opened, a gust of wind mixed with a large amount of dust blew out from the back of the stone gate.

Several people were blinded by the sudden wind, and after a long while, several people reluctantly opened their eyes and looked behind the stone gate.

"Oh my god, what's that? Terracotta? Yang Lei shouted excitedly.
