"The Mystery Lock does not belong to the South. ”

When he was shuttling quickly in the empty lock, Lu Qiming said such a sentence. He put the various spiritual materials he had just collected in a suitable position according to a certain law, while explaining: "The same formation, there is still a difference between 'traditional' and 'foreign'. The number of formation paths in the maze obviously belongs to the latter. ”

"Alien...... Doesn't that mean that Nan Lin is likely to be from the Yin Sect's side?" Chu Shaoqiu frowned, "Since they both belong to the Spiritual Alliance, how dare she do such a forbidden thing to you?"

"So I said 'I don't belong'. It seems that both sides have cooperated in a discordant manner. Lu Qiming smiled and said, "Nanlin's injury is actually far more serious than mine, but this is not my reason, but the 'slashing' she used to save herself has a major flaw. ”

"That way I'm more sure. Chu Shaoqiu nodded, and asked again: "A soul injury like hers has also been seen by you in a part of her memory—could it be that she doesn't remember the 'Daye' directly?

"Amnesia is not enough. Unless the person who gave her the 'method of slashing the soul' deliberately wanted her to cut off a certain part of her memory......" Speaking of this, Lu Qiming's hand suddenly paused, and he muttered: "No, it's too coincidental." It is highly likely that that person had the intention to let me see the information about 'Daye'. ”

Chu Shaoqiu asked seriously, "How can you see it?"

"It's still a mystery. ”

Lu Qiming casually clasped the ground where the light of the clasp formation was shining, and said, "The existence of the misty lock misleads most people's sight, covering the huge altar of the Daye Ancient Kingdom below. But in fact, it is the key itself - the mystery lock is essentially there to open the ruins of the ancient kingdom. ”

Chu Shaoqiu thought for a moment and denied it: "I think it might really be a coincidence.

"If someone did it on purpose, then how did he know in advance that the two of us suddenly decided to come from the Taoist Academy to eat—this is something that even you and I didn't expect.

"Besides, how can he be sure that Nanlin will definitely lock you in a maze? and you are not even sure of yourself before you break the 'Thousand Folds Law', how can he assume that you will succeed?

"Even if he believes in you more than you do, why should he give away the opportunity of 'Daye' to others? Even if he really wants to give it to you, then why don't you come directly? These don't make sense.

"Today's events are the result of countless rare coincidences – I can't believe that everything is in someone's hands. Chu Shaoqiu couldn't help but shake his head, looked at Lu Qiming and said, "Or-for this person, you already have a possible candidate in mind?"

"Nope. As he spoke, Lu Qiming finished the layout of this area, "I hope so." Let's go. ”

......

The history of the human race is as vast as the sea of stars. Looking at it as a whole, the initial evolution of practice can be roughly divided into three stages.

The earliest was the mortal period, a boring, centralized agricultural civilization. Later, with the growth of the whole world and the nurturing of the five elements of aura, the appearance of goblins became more and more intensive. They far surpass the power and vitality of the human race, seriously disrupting the peaceful and stable life of mortals.

The helpless Terrans began to pray to the gods.

It is a pity that in terms of the ability to communicate with heaven and earth, the human race has an inherent weakness, and there is only a long and difficult wait.

Finally, during the reign of Qin Ye, the third emperor of the ancient Daye Dynasty, people heard the voice of God for the first time—He promised the possibility of equal power for the human race, and gave a small number of people the laws of cultivation.

The first Terran cultivators appeared. Since then, the cultivation of the human race has entered the second stage.

When you set foot in practice, you begin the path to eternal life—a temptation that the human race cannot resist when it comes to the short and fragile life. However, there are too few people with the talent of martial arts.

After a long period of perseverance and successive attempts, the Terrans finally created a cultivation method suitable for more of their kind. From the moment the first martial cultivation was born, the cultivation of the human race came to the third stage.

But these three stages are only the initial cultivation of the human race. Those histories are too long ago than in today's time.

Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and even in this world of cultivation where everyone seeks immortality, it is enough to be forgotten by memory and dusted in the history books. The same is true of the word "Daye", a name that is rarely mentioned except for a few scholars and monks who specialize in ancient practice.

Even, many people think that the ancient kingdom of Daye may just be a beautiful and romantic fantasy of the ancients, and it has never actually existed.

Lu Qiming and Chu Shaoqiu naturally knew the truth of Daye Ancient Kingdom, but like most people in this era, they didn't know more details about her other than the fact that she was "real". By far the largest source of information is still Nanlin's interpretation of the scroll's contents.

However, what can be sure is that at this moment they are standing on the site of the huge altar built by the ancient people of Daye.

The Mystery Lock covers an extremely large area, and if you want to compare it to the overall volume of the altar, it is really the size of the key and the door.

Hundreds of thousands of years of evolution have passed, and the building body built by people in ancient times and the totem carvings that symbolize the power of the gods have long been gone. Those concrete objects do not have the ability to escape out of time.

However, this is where the most miraculous thing about this altar lies.

It is clear that even the medium of communication and sacrifice has disappeared, but the original function of the altar can be completely and completely preserved in the void, waiting for the world to awaken this legend again.

"Miracles. Chu Shaoqiu sighed lightly, his eyes in awe.

Lu Qiming did not speak. God is real, and this is the agreement of the two worlds, but the meaning is very different.

The status of the gods in this world is supreme and lofty, and even the Martial Sect will not be disrespectful to the gods. And in the world where he was originally located, the so-called gods were nothing more than the most powerful cultivators in the world.

The "gods" that are the goal of practice have been studied a lot by the people of that world. It's a pity that in his previous life, Master always deliberately avoided everything related to God—so even though he came from that world and was sure that the survival of the Daye Ancient Kingdom must have God's interference, he couldn't analyze and explain it.

Lu Qiming is more concerned about what he can understand - formation.

At this moment, they have completed all the arrangements for starting the sacrifice and opening the ruins, standing in the center of the maze lock, and only the last step of the formation is stimulated, and the Daye Ancient Kingdom can reappear in the world.

But Lu Qiming didn't start immediately.

He suddenly said, "Actually, I don't think that the value of Daye Ancient Kingdom will be higher than this mystery. ”

Chu Shaoqiu was surprised and said, "How is that possible? Hasn't the mystery been unlocked by Qiming?"

"I'm just unraveling the most superficial things. There is no fortification at all in the really clever place, otherwise I would have absolutely no ability to control it.

Lu Qiming was a little emotional, and explained: "You must have guessed that the relics of Daye Ancient Kingdom exist in an independent small space. With the original appearance of the altar, even if it is protected by divine power, this small space only exists, and cannot be discovered by people, but will only be drifting in the void forever like countless times before.

"But the Locks completely reversed all of that – and I just realized it. It was the Lost Lock that brought the ruins of the Ancient Kingdom back to our location...... It's really a pure formation, and the materials used are so simple? This is really ......."

Lu Qiming shook his head and muttered, "Unbelievable." Fantastic. ”

Chu Shaoqiu heard it with a big head, and couldn't help but laugh and tease him: "It's really a standard 'scholar' tone." ”

"Shaoqiu, I agree with you now. Lu Qiming sighed and laughed at himself, "How can someone who has the ability to create such a masterpiece pay attention to me? If that's the case, it's simply my honor." ”

"Do you need to be so exaggerated?" Chu Shaoqiu wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "The level of your formation is already high enough, if according to what you say, then isn't this person invincible in the world?"

Lu Qiming nodded and said seriously: "I do think so. ”

There is another sentence, he added in his heart, he didn't expect that there would be cultivators in this world who were at such a high level of array Dao, and he really underestimated them before.

Chu Shaoqiu said: "That's okay, it's a big deal, just come over a few more times in the future and study it slowly." Anyway, there are ancient ruins here, and when we go back and prepare enough, we always need to come again. ”

Lu Qiming was helpless: "The problem is here." The opening of the ruins is at the cost of the self-destruction of the mystery, otherwise the space barrier cannot be broken. ”

“...... All right. Chu Shaoqiu had no choice but to say: "Even if it's a pity, think about Nanlin, don't you want to solve it as soon as possible while she is injured?"

Not to mention their own chances, the sensation caused by the opening of the Daye Ruins itself has already achieved its goal - a series of follow-ups triggered by this kind of disclosure will definitely lift Nanlin's control over the Tao, and finally restore the absolute control of the Daoist Academy over this branch.

And if Nanlin is unwilling to give up the ruins and come again, with Lu Qiming's control of the misty lock, coupled with Chu Shaoqiu's normal combat power, it is enough to completely solve the threat of Nanlin.

This was their original plan.

However, mentioning the southern border at this point is counterproductive.

"It's because my cultivation is too low now. Lu Qiming sighed and said abruptly: "It's just for a southern neighbor...... If I let my Fifth Senior Sister know that one day I would actually fall into the point of destroying such a precious formation for such a trivial matter, she would definitely hunt me down for 100,000 miles. ”

Fifth Senior Sister, Chu Shaoqiu raised his eyebrows slightly, it sounded like a very complicated teacher, but why did he say that when he was teaching swordsmanship?

However, now Chu Shaoqiu has returned to his normal state of being polite and polite, so even though he is still curious, he still does not choose to take the opportunity to ask. On the contrary, he kindly and tactfully reminded: "Qiming, it seems like a while has passed since you said 'the last quarter of an hour'. ”

"It's been long gone. But sleepy, sleepy—seems to have some habits?" Lu Qiming said slowly.

“...... That's good. ”

In fact, what Chu Shaoqiu was thinking in his heart was - I'm afraid it's because Qiming you are so distressed that you even ignore the sleepiness, right?

But the right thing to do is always to be done. Lu Qiming looked at it regretfully for a while, and then began to make final adjustments to the direction of the formation spirit power.

"Here we go. ”
