Volume 1 Chapter 52 of the Northern Plains
It took nearly half a day's work to complete the laying of the bricks and stones in the order of Zhou Zhe's rags, watching the patterns on the ground being tightly pieced together to form a new large array, everyone felt that there was a small achievement, Yuan Yuan looked at the large array in a daze, and so was Fang Fang, the two of them who were from the professional class could not have imagined that the ancient great array would be restored in this way, they thought about using the Dao pattern runes and the theory of various spirit arrays to restore the large array, and follow the principle of the operation of heaven and earth aura to formulate which brick and stone should be in which position, but they didn't expect the final ending to be like thisγ Gone was the gap in the human form on the ground, replaced by a square gap.
"They're done, Zhou Zhe, what's next?" Xin Chai shouted to wake up Zhou Zhe, who was resting. Zhou Zhe got up and looked at the tired people, they were doing manual work, and they were not lightly tired, each piece of masonry weighed at least dozens of catties.
"Let's take a break! Then he began to observe around the big array, he wanted to know if these arrays were similar to the poker he had played, poker brought him here, obviously, it was a powerful spiritual array, it was a spiritual array that needed spiritual support, obviously the fountain in the center was the source of spiritual power, and what was poker?
The bricks and stones on the ground are like a pool of stagnant water, without the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power, maybe they just need an introduction! Zhou Zhe took out a bottle of spiritual liquid and poured it on the edge of the fountain, and the spiritual liquid only walked on the Dao pattern in the masonry under the fountain for a while, and then stopped flowing because the quantity was not enough.
Obviously not, can you use the fountain? Otherwise, even if you pour all the spiritual fluid into it, you probably won't be able to go through the whole circuit. Try it when you want to, and never drag it out. The fountain liquid doesn't stick to your hands, and you can't take it out, but can you let the water from the fountain spray it underneath?
"You say, how does this big array be opened?" Zhou Zhe wanted to brainstorm ideas, or someone could give him inspiration.
"Of course, it's spiritual power. Could it be that our efforts have been in vain?Looking at the big array, it doesn't seem to be moving!" Fang Fang was depressed.
"Spirit stones are also fine, but the price of this try is not too great. Xin Chai was very reluctant to take that egg-sized natural spirit stone.
"Brother Zhou, you said that this big array can open the way to the bottom, just like the suspension bridge of our Longquan Pass, he has to open a mechanism, in addition to manpower, there is also a card lock on the mechanism, will there be any keys
Something like that?" Liu Dabeard's mind turned, thinking of this.
"It makes sense, how can you open the door without a key. Lin Xiaoer also agreed.
"But we've all been around here, and we haven't seen anything else, so this key isn't here, right?" Yu Deshui said a little timidly, for fear that what he said was the answer.
Key, Zhou Zhe was a little eyebrow-raising, is it too redundant to open such a large building wreckage with an unreliable thing like a key. Zhou Zhe was bored and tried to put it in the empty bottle that had finished dripping the spiritual liquid
The spiritual liquid in the fountain was taken out, but the result was disappointed, it was filled with spiritual liquid, and just came out, it was gone, leaving only a small piece of the original spiritual liquid in the bottle. Zhou Zhe turned his head and was annoyed, but in his hand
Some remnants of the spiritual fluid at the bottom of the vial gave him the answer. The spiritual liquid in the bottle and the inside of the fountain did not mix, such an abnormal thing immediately attracted his attention, whether it was possible to try to pour the spiritual liquid into it
Go.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhe took out the spiritual liquid again and poured it into the fountain, one bottle was not enough, and another bottle was another. Xin Chai thought that Zhou Zhe was stunned because he couldn't solve the mystery so he used this seemingly brainless formula
Law to try.
"Zhou Zhe, calm down!" but the voice just fell. The change occurred, and the fountain, which was originally just a trickle, flowed out more spiritual fluid at the moment, and the entire pool of the fountain was filled with excess spiritual fluid
It didn't disappear, but spread down the jade under the fountain, and the last drop of it was poured into the Dao pattern of the large array.
"Get out of the way, be on guard!" Zhou Zhe immediately beckoned everyone to retreat after seeing this change, opening the Spirit Array itself was already very risky, and it was necessary to be more vigilant at this moment.
"It's such a strong spiritual power fluctuation, is this the Great Array of the Ancients?" Fang Fang, who was holding the umbrella, looked at the Great Array that was only half soaked in spiritual liquid.
"Debiao, go and inform Wang Rui and bring someone down. Zhou Zheke didn't care about any ancient spirit beast, and kicked and woke up Debiao, who was sleeping soundly. This thing didn't hesitate, knowing that it was a matter of life
Four-legged galloped up the cloister to the cave above. And the large array in the hall finally started running after the spiritual liquid was infused, and the bricks and stones that had been patched together again were tightly gathered.
As if they had never been separated, the jade-like material on the fountain shone brightly, and in a moment a great burst of brilliance appeared. In the vacant area of the original square, a downward corridor gradually revealed in front of everyone.
The lighting arrays on both sides of the pitch-black corridor lit up, and a golden corridor was completely revealed.
In about a quarter of an hour, the sergeant led by Wang Rui had already appeared in the corridor leading to the corridor above. Zhou Zhe gave a pause gesture with one hand, and then walked to the front of the team, looking at it
One by one, the sergeants with the green jade sword in their hands with the scabbard in their hands were beaten, looking at the expressions on the faces of the sergeants. It was as if the wolf king was watching his men.
"Many of you, when you are sealed up in the cave, have given up hope, believing that there is no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth. But now? We've found a way. "Say
This Zhou Zhe pointed to the Yongdao pointing downward, "We haven't gone down this road yet, maybe it's still a dead end, and there is even a danger of killing us." So are you going to go in or not to go in? Some people say you don't have a choice.
Indeed, there is only one way, but when you go down and find that it is really a dead end, what do you do?
The silence of the scene was terrible, and the falling needles could be heard. A group of sergeants were left with only cautious breathing.
"A lot of you are recruits, so I'm a recruit, I'm just a little complaining, and I'm coming to my senses now. What is it? Actually, it is your distrust of your superiors and your comrades-in-arms. Have you ever thought about it, will I trust you when you do this? I would rather believe in my brothers who have fought side by side with me and fought bloodily. "Zhou Zhe
Pulled Lin Xiaoer, "Lin Tingwu, everyone calls him Lin Xiaoer, he is blocking the crocodile's attack for me, do you dare? If it weren't for him, I would have been buried at the bottom of the lake long ago. And I, with you, took a new road, but this road could not be taken, and everyone was buried in the Northern Plains. If you have done it, you can walk sideways among the sergeants in Longquan Pass in the future. Just say that you have been to the North Plains with me, and no one will dare to embarrass you. β
The sergeants' faces flushed, with an element of shame and a desire for glory. They were indeed slacking, complaining, and even fearful after the failed breakout just now, and at this moment, the sense of honor and that
The temperament of daring to use one's life is back again.
"Now there is a chance to prove you, all the recruits, those who are willing to descend first, stand before me. When it came to the door, Zhou Zhe gave them the right to choose, whether to follow the shouting, or really dare to risk their lives to fight at this time. One by one, the recruits stood up, standing in a row, and the people who were originally watching behind saw that so many people were ready to go down, and they also stood up, and Zhou Zhe was watching.
"You, you... And you, all out. Zhou Zhe pulled a few veterans and recruits in front of the station.
"Liu Dabeard, take a few of them down first. Then Zhou Zhe whispered a few words in Liu Dabeard's ear. Although it was a whisper, Xin Chai was not an ordinary person, and his face turned a little green when he heard it, this kid is really dark.
Everyone knows that Liu Dabeard is a person who has won Zhou Zhe's trust, and he has saved Zhou Zhe on the battlefield, and more importantly, he has a flexible brain and can understand Zhou Zhe's intentions, he took dozens of recruits and a few veterans to form a battle formation and searched under the road. After going down for half an hour, there was the sound of ping-pong fights and screams from below the corridor, and finally fell silent. And in the hall, whether it was a recruit or even a veteran, they were a little frightened, and many people oozed cold sweat.
"The next team, Yu Deshui, you take them. It was a whisper, and she patted him on the shoulder. Dozens of people again, down the hole. There was another ping-pong fight and screams, and then silence again.
Finally someone collapsed, especially the last few recruits, whose hands trembled and even lost their weapons. A few of them ran up to the cloister, trying to run back. Zhou Zhe didn't care about them.
There are still many recruits and veterans left, and many veterans are shouting, recruits can't do it, let us go up and establish a defensive position first. This time, Zhou Zhe did not go to the first team, but left Wang Rui,
The rest went down. Recruits are in front, veterans are behind.
Wang Rui was left a little unclear.
"Those few who ran to it, are they in accordance with military law or continue to take you to watch it!" Zhou Zhe did not use other people's swords, but threw the Qingyu sword to him. Then he also went down the road,
In the corridor, Xin Chai was waiting there
"I didn't expect you to be so dark. β
"This is also a way to do nothing, the good and the bad are mixed, and if you don't rectify and rectify, sooner or later, a group of recruits will be dragged down, which is irresponsible for the veterans. Everyone leads the troops in a different way, and I just want me to bring them out
People, swords, mountains and seas of fire dare to follow me. β
At the bottom, everyone was stunned, there was no danger at all, the people brought by Yu Deshui and the people led by Liu Dabeard were all on the side, where there were any monsters, where people died. The fact that the three spirit cultivator masters didn't speak was actually that they could hear what Zhou Zhe said, and if there was really danger below, they would all come down in vain, and they didn't want to think about what kind of characters were sealed in the hall above. If there really is a monster down here, who can stop it? Several veterans with swords and shields in their hands were already ready to fight hard, but now they could only stare dryly and look at Zhou Zhe.
"Everyone, are you still shaking the sword in your hand now? What I Zhou Zhe wants, is a warrior like you, if you hesitate when you encounter setbacks in the future, I will directly kick him to Lao Ling and go back to carry the corpse. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" shouted the recruits.
This floor of the hall is obviously wider than the previous floor, the huge column in the center is connected to the fountain on the upper floor, the walls and the dome have brighter lighting arrays, and there are also many inlaid grooves, which may have been peeled off and weathered by the old grooves. In one corner of the hall there were many debris of various objects, which on closer inspection looked like metal cutlery, which had long since been corroded. It looks like a restaurant, or a cafeteria. In the corner of the hall, there is also a ring corridor leading to the bottom.
Just waited in the hall for a while, Wang Rui came down and returned the green jade sword to Zhou Zhe, and there was no one behind him.
"Continue to the next floor. β
This time, no one was afraid, but rather eager to try, this floor was significantly larger than the restaurant above, and it was still a stone pillar that led to the dome. It's just that there are four more stone carvings made of stone on the side of the stone pillar, facing four directions, one person with heavy armor and holding a short blunt round shield, one person holding a two-handed sword, one person holding a bow, and one person holding a nine-section battle. The rest is empty, not even a way to the next level. There is also no large array on the ground similar to the one above.
"Xin Chai, you go and see if there is anything strange about these four statues, there should be a way, it is estimated that it is on this statue. Zhou Zhe didn't dare to be careless, but just ordered the sergeants to be on guard and watch from afar.
"Well, I'll do something dangerous. It feels like I've become your hound, is it any good?" Xin glanced at him.
"Don't make a fuss, the benefits will be half of yours. "Zhou Zhe didn't think that there would be any benefit here, and even if there were, it was estimated that it would be wiped out by time like a wall mosaic. Xin Chaishan approached and carefully observed the four huge statues, there was not even dust on them, but think about it, this place has been sealed underground for thousands of years, and the buildings have not corroded, where did the dust come from. The statues are made with great detail, even the knife patterns on the weapons, the folds of the clothes. The costume is very quaint, like the style that has been excavated in some ruins. Xin Chai tried to push the statues, but failed. Just as she was about to dodge away.
"Click!" several mechanical noises caught her attention.
"Be careful, back off!" Xin Chai shouted as he sped away.
Sure enough, not long after Xin retreated, the stone statue glowed, and the originally not-so-bright lighting array suddenly became brighter. Where is the stone statue of the four rounds still looking like a stone statue after the brilliance flashes, it is clearly like four living people, but the movement of twisting arms and wrists is a little stiff, but the speed of activity is not slow.
"The ordinary sergeants are all back to the upper floor. The rest of the men fought in formation and scattered. "It's too obvious, but a bunch of big men are coming towards you with their arms twisting their wrists, definitely not to have a drink with you.
"Zhou Zhe, you also go up. Wang Rui shouted.
"I'll be here, Lin Xiaoer, within two steps. Zhou Zhe directly stood with Lin Xiaoer and Yu Deshui. At this time, there was still a group of veterans who wanted to be side by side, and they were directly sent by Zhou Zhe, this kind of battle is not something that can be solved by a large number of people, and as far as their armament is concerned, crossbow arrows may not be able to shoot through stones. The more people remain, the greater the casualties are estimated. So he left the Yuan Fang brothers, Xin Chai, Wang Rui, Liu Dabeard, Lin Xiaoer and Yu Deshui. Ma Dabao was sent by him to lead the soldiers.
