Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Secret Path
Qu Yi was lying on the ground, feeling dizzy, and he was so stunned by the fall just now. It was pitch black, and it seemed that there was no light in it. However, he quickly grasped the situation, and they must have gone behind the wall.
There was something pressing on his body, heavy, soft, and he didn't need to ask to know that it was Qu Xin. It seems that he has become Qu Xin's protective pad.
"Xin'er, it's okay. ”
He stretched out his hand to help Qu Xin up, but he didn't know where he caught, causing Qu Xin to scream, and a fist smashed over, but fortunately it was empty. He hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, it's me!"
It seemed that Qu Xin also quickly reacted from the chaos and immediately stood up. Without the things pressed on his body, Qu Yi also got up, his hand wanted to touch something that could be leaned on for him, and suddenly he felt a ball of soft flesh again, and this time the fist smashed accurately into his chest.
Qu Xin blew the fire fold, and the faint light of the fire was enough to illuminate the small space. Qu Xin's face was angry, and he stretched out his hand to Qu Yi, Qu Yi felt that he was too wronged, but he had nowhere to reason, so he could only shut up and let Qu Xin pull up.
"It's really dangerous, if it's too late, someone will find out. ”
"Thank you, brother. ”
"I'd be happier if you could have been more sincere. But what kind of place is this? ”
Qu Xin shook his head, and when he looked back, there was a dead end behind him, and there was only one road in front of him, which was pitch black, and he didn't know what was in front of him. She was silent, and her big eyes looked directly at Qu Yi. Qu Yi was a little flustered when he saw it, and said helplessly: "Give me the fire fold, I'll lead the way in front." ”
Qu Xin nodded, handed the fire fold to Qu Yi and said, "Oh." ”
"Aren't you going to fight for it?"
"Hee-hee, it's okay, I'll just follow you. ”
"You girl. ”
But he didn't feel reluctant. He hadn't seen Qu Xin smiling in front of him for a long time, he thought that the relationship between brother and sister would gradually drift apart in the future, and there was such a moment, it seemed that he had also found some memories of the past.
"Let's go. ”
Qu Xin looked at the back of the young man in front of him who was about the same height as himself, and thought to himself that it had been a long time since the two of them had been alone like this. This is a nasty, but can't hate guy, Ming is bright and smart, but he doesn't want to work hard, obviously so powerful, but he is always giving up on himself.
But why did he become like this, he was so powerful when he first started studying, and he was the person she had always dreamed of. And now Qu Yi refuses to work hard, always gives up halfway, not only does not become her goal consciously, but even asks her to help from time to time. But seeing the figure just now who was concentrating on studying the formation and solving the puzzle for her, how could she continue to be angry?
Is the person in front of her still her brother?
Qu Xin was confused, she wanted to organize her current thoughts, but she was not allowed to do so now. She had to go as far as she could before the people behind her came in, and get the copy that Ying wanted her to have!
"I saw the symbol, the secret door should be not far from here, through the secret door, it should be the stairs to the second floor!"
Qu Xin suddenly pointed to another symbol that appeared on the wall in front of him. Qu Yi looked at the symbol, which was somewhat similar to the one he had encountered before, since it was like this, it would be good to repeat the old trick. But this time he stared at the symbol for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be it, this symbol is a trap set to confuse us." It's an endless loop!"
"What?"
"It should still be useful, though. ”
He tried to activate the formation, and suddenly the candlestick, which had been empty, suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire passage.
"That's it. ”
Qu Xin looked at this scene in surprise, pulled Qu Yi's clothes and asked, "This, is this also made by the formation?"
"This is just a simple formation, and these lights are only enough to hold on to the qi in this formation. Let's take this opportunity to move forward quickly and find the real exit. ”
Qu Xin nodded, but how many more of these symbols were there in front of him? Could it be that they had to try them one by one? Qu Yi couldn't help but think of the scene when they walked along the way just now, and they also encountered a few symbols on the way, but knowing that the one was outside just now, Qu Xin was very firm and pointed out that it was that. But why is that?
Asked by Qu Yi, Qu Xin turned around and said, "Of course my mother said it." ”
"Did the mother say that she was going to find the symbol next?"
Qu Xin shook his head. They had no choice but to keep going, and soon they came across a symbol, which was relatively simple because there was a more obvious mechanism. He thought it would be the mechanism to open the door, so he carefully pressed it, but there was no movement on the wall, only silence, and suddenly a wall tile popped out.
Neither of them knew what kind of medicine was being sold in this gourd, and they had never set foot in this ancient pagoda.
Qu Yi had the courage to pull out the brick that popped out, looked into the brick hole, and found that there was a small space inside, and a roll of things was lying there quietly. When I took that thing out, I found that it was a dark scroll, and the scroll was full of dragon patterns on both sides of you.
This was the second time they had seen the real thing, and it was a manuscript. The previous time they had seen the Qi Cultivation Manuscript when they were learning to practice the Qi Mind Method four years ago, and this time it was a Martial Arts Manuscript.
Practicing Qi and Heart is an internal strength, and it is a means for practitioners to accumulate strength. Martial arts, on the other hand, are the means by which practitioners release their powers. At the heart of both is the use of qi, but the difference between them is very different. The dark color is the bottom, and the upper and lower decorations are decorated, which shows that this manuscript is a middle-level martial arts manuscript.
Qu Yi didn't expect to have a harvest so quickly, you must know that more than ninety percent of the people who entered the Shura Ancient Pagoda for the first time returned empty-handed, purely to accumulate experience. Those who can gain something are often extremely lucky people, or people like Qu Xin who have been exposed in advance.
The mechanism in this symbol is not difficult to see, and there is no need for formation knowledge at all, just sharp eyes, presumably for people like Qu Xin who have not yet learned formation knowledge.
However, Qu Xin was not interested in the martial arts manuscript, it seemed that she knew where the more precious manuscript was hidden.
"Let's grab this roll first, let's go. ”
"Hmm. ”
Finally, at the third symbol, they found the trap and opened the secret door, leading to the stairs to the second floor. The tower was open to them only on two floors, and according to the experience of their predecessors, the manuscripts on the second floor were often more valuable and more numerous than the first floor. And the most precious thing on the first floor is the Zhongxuan-level manuscript.
It seems that they are really lucky, just passing by and finding the most precious treasure on the first floor. This treasure hunt won't end empty-handed anyway. And up to the second floor, there are more manuscripts waiting for them, and maybe they will be lucky enough to find a manuscript of the upper Xuan level. He thought to himself, this time it was really the right time to follow Qu Xin!
