As soon as Ying Ying gave the order, Qu Xu took a step forward and began to move towards the ancient tower, and the people who followed him followed in turn. Qu Xin patted Qu Yi, and Qu Yi reacted. He hurriedly chased after him and walked side by side with Qu Xu.

In front of them was the entrance to the ancient pagoda, and behind them were the children of the Qu family who were the same age as them, most of whom they recognized, because they were all classmates studying together. But today they are competitors. Although there is peace on the surface, once you enter the ancient tower and no one sees it, you will fight for it.

They had to find out the hidden martial arts manuscript as quickly as possible, otherwise they wouldn't have a chance when the older and more experienced brothers came in!

Stepping on the stairs in front of the tower, they came to the entrance of the ancient tower, and at a glance, they were greeted by a stone wall. The stone wall is like a screen in a normal room, blocking their view, so it looks dark from the outside. The two teams entered the ancient pagoda from both sides of the stone wall, led by Qu Yi and Qu Xu respectively.

Because it was the first time, it was unknown what the situation was inside, so Qu Yi remained vigilant. As soon as he entered, a small space appeared in front of him, and the place where he entered was a door, and beyond that, there were seven other doors.

There are eight doors in a small circular room, each with a symbol painted on it. Qu Yi recognized those symbols, they were the eight hexagrams of the eight trigrams. The next thing seemed to ask him to choose one of the seven doors to leave. This made him confused for a while, and he didn't know which door to choose.

Before he could hesitate to think, suddenly someone grabbed his hand from behind and led him into the door. As soon as he entered the door, the door quickly flipped over, and when the last person entered, there was no sign of movement in the door. Qu Yi was startled, but he knew who the person behind him was, and when he entered the door, he looked at it and saw that it was Qu Xin who brought him in.

Qu Xin glanced at Qu Yi, let go of his hand, and said in a low voice: "Still thinking about something, go quickly, otherwise we will be entangled by the people behind, and we will not be able to move freely." ”

Qu Yi nodded, just outside he felt a thorny gaze from behind, he was used to it. However, he had just noticed that there were people who were only staring at Qu Xin, even more than those staring at him.

He couldn't figure it out just now, but now he figured it out. Presumably, some people thought that Qu Xin knew where important manuscripts were hidden in the tower. After all, this festival is in charge of Ying Ying, and Qu Xin is Ying Ying's biological daughter.

"Gone. ”

Qu Xin whispered, and then began to trot forward. Qu Yi heard the voice behind him and began to get louder and louder, and the people behind him began to squeeze into the small room. All he could say was sorry to them, who let him get close to the water. He turned around and ran deeper behind Qu Xin.

Outside, Ying Ying put down what she was holding and looked intently at the burning incense. Each time the incense burns at a mark, it is the turn of the next group of people to enter the ancient pagoda. Not only him, but the people in the queue, who were a year older than Qu Yi and them, were staring anxiously at the thread, and some of them secretly prayed that the wind would blow stronger and make the incense burn faster.

While paying attention to the line, Ying also looked at the ancient tower from time to time. Qu Xin was visiting the ancient pagoda for the first time this year, and she was quite unfamiliar with the situation in the ancient pagoda, although she secretly revealed the place where the precious manuscript was hidden, but they had to be able to find it.

In addition to her, many of the people who came to participate in the festival came for the treasure hunt, and they all hoped that their children and grandchildren would be able to return from the treasure. Among them, there is no one who is most worried about okra fidgeting on the sidelines. She also obtained some information through means, but she was not sure if she would succeed.

Qu Yi and the others walked through the corridor behind the door, feeling like they were entering a labyrinth. The two sides of the walkway, which is only large enough for one person to pass, are made of dark black rocks, and the hands are cold to the bone, and the body has a faint instinct to use qi to resist such cold.

Qu Yi had never seen such a rock, and he had never heard of it. He followed Qu Xin's back closely, and he didn't get entangled by the big army just now because of her. Just as he wanted to thank him, Qu Xin suddenly stopped and said, "It's around here." ”

Qu Xin glanced at an incomprehensible symbol on the wall, then took five steps forward in a constant stride, turned to the right, and groped with his hands on the wall. As soon as her hand touched the wall, she couldn't help but shrink back and said, "It's cold." ”

Seeing that Qu Xin was so cautious, Qu Yi knew that there should be a secret door hidden here. He also walked up, touched the wall, and asked, "What are you looking for, let me help you?" ”

Qu Xin glanced at Qu Yi and said, "Didn't my mother say it, look for the mark on the wall, and if you find the mark, you can enter the next area." ”

Qu Yi pretended not to hear it, and also groped on the wall. The cold air slowly seeped out from the wall, and after a long time, it hurt people's bones, and the five fingers were as if they were unconscious, and they couldn't touch anything at all. Faced with this situation, he mobilized the qi of the dantian, gathered it in the palm of his hand, and resisted the cold qi outside his body, so that he felt better, but it was still quite uncomfortable.

turned her head to look at Qu Xin, she was the same, and she probably had numb hands from the cold now. It's not a way to touch it like this, this wall is so big, when will it take to touch it. Qu Yi turned around to look at the strange symbol in front of him. It was when Qu Xin saw that symbol that he stopped here.

He stared at the symbol, and the symbol as a whole was confusing. But if you only look at some of them, you seem to see some clues. He took up his breath and brought it to his fingertips, and his fingertips lightly touched the symbol, and the feeling transmitted back from the symbol made Qu Yi understand at once that the symbol was actually a formation!

Having this inference in hand, he wondered if this formation would have something to do with the mark they were looking for. He thought about it and decided to give it a try. Although he has not officially started to learn how to draw formations, he has learned a lot of formation knowledge from Hu Wei and has been exposed to a lot of formations.

After preliminary observation, he determined that this formation was newly set up, and it should be set up for this treasure hunt.

Since this is the case, then there is a great possibility that this formation is the key! So what kind of challenge did the person who set up this formation leave him? He didn't expect that the first time he used the knowledge of the formation was actually at such a time, which made him secretly excited.

I observed the whole formation in general and divided it into several parts based on what I had learned before. Each of these parts has its own role. The key they were looking for should be in one of them.

Qu Xin also stopped groping aimlessly and looked at Qu Yi, who was concentrating. She couldn't help but think of Qian Ying's words, it was best to bring Qu Yi with her when she came in, he might be able to help her find her way. Is that what it means now?

Suddenly, Qu Yi said, "Is this here?" It was an inconspicuous place in the lower corner of the symbol, but it was in that place that there was a hidden route, and if you activated it, this formation would have a completely different effect than before.

At this moment, they could faintly hear the voices of people, and it seemed that someone else was also coming to them through the door. If they are discovered, the people behind them will definitely follow them this time. Qu Yi yelled in his heart that it was bad, there was no time for him to grind now, no matter what, he had to give it a try.

He lifted his qi to his fingertips again, and slowly activated the hidden route. The route was activated, connected with the rest of the formation, and suddenly the whole symbol lit up, and the hidden formation in the symbol was revealed, and a line stretched out, and finally stopped in the middle of the wall not far away, and circled a circle.

Seeing this, Qu Xin was overjoyed and said, "This is the mark!" She quickly reached out and touched the mark, and then pressed it down.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound, and the entire wall flipped over without warning, catching the two of them off guard. Qu Yi was still activating the formation outside. said that it was too late, he rushed over, Qu Xin also came to his senses, stretched out his hand, Qu Yi grabbed her hand, was pulled hard, and the two of them were caught in the secret passage behind the wall by the flipped wall.

The two latecomers who were groping suddenly heard a noise in front of them, glanced at each other, and guessed that Qu Yi and the others were in front, and immediately ran up. But in front of them, there was still a labyrinth of corridors, and no one was in sight.
