Chapter 65: Entering the Underground Palace for the First Time

.

In the mourning hall, a bright lamp illuminated, Xia Chen looked at the exquisite painting wall in front of him and was silent, this star map gave him a feeling of being quite ancient. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe streamlines on the black ashlar are carved after years of wind and frost, and they seem to be incompatible with the atmosphere of this era.

Xia Chen unconsciously stretched out his hand to caress the carved stars, as if he saw the incomparably vast starry sky spreading, and the interstellar wind was blowing in his ears. The next moment everything was back to normal, and his eyes were brighter.

"The wall itself is a natural material, and the stars on these paintings are still alive even after an unknown number of years. At the beginning, the person who carved it was also mixed with a trace of artistic conception, which I couldn't understand at all, which shows that the strength of the painter is unfathomable. But the people of the Ling family were really ignorant, so they placed this thing in the mourning hall out of thin air, and imprisoned it with clumsy tricks. The original little artistic conception of the painting wall has almost been lost. ”

Xia Chen couldn't help but sigh, but he also had a deeper understanding and guess about the Ling family in his heart, after all, such an ancient treasure the Ling family actually had, and then the Yang family also contained huge secrets, so it seemed that the three major families were not simple.

Suddenly, the Yin Transformation Sigil on his arm flashed again, this time it was the most intense, Xia Chen felt that his demon spirit veins were constantly trembling, and his spiritual power was disordered, and he knew that it was Yang Kun who was manipulating.

"Damn, Yang Kun, how can he sense my every step?"

Xia Chen had to take the next step, he pinched the trick in his hand, and took out another jade talisman. Igniting a fire, through the blue flames, he swept his gaze across the entire wall, and finally landed on a small hole on the right edge of the wall, no more than the diameter of his thumb. This hole is no different from other hollowed-out places, but Xia Chen looked at it through the method taught by Yang Kun, but found that there was a mystery in it.

He saw clearly through the blue flames that this fine hole was actually a cyclone, and there were some milky white grains on the outside, intersecting and rotating, surrounding a whirlpool, like a small galaxy, and inside Xia Chen carefully probed his spiritual sense, but it was a bottomless pit, stretching deep, and there was no hole in the sky.

"It's amazing that a small person can use astrology to make such a cover-up. This is probably the work of the ancestors of the Ling family, as well as the maze array outside, it seems that the ancestors of the Ling family have mastered the art of astrology. However, as Yang Kun said, this location is the entrance to the dark whirlpool. ”

Xia Chen stared at the dark vortex, withdrew his spiritual sense, and took out another thing, but it was a small bottle. He opened the bottle, and a decaying and rotten smell emanated, and a drop of reddish-brown liquid flew out of the bottle, almost sucked directly into it by the dark vortex, which was really weird.

"Could this drop of blood come from the Ling family......?

As soon as Xia Chen saw the liquid beads flying out, he saw that it was a drop of blood, but the age was very far away, and I was afraid that the owner of the blood had passed away. After a little hesitation, Xia Chen immediately leaned out a finger close to the fine hole, and read a few unfamiliar words in his mouth, which was also Yang Kun's instructions.

Then, Xia Chen felt a kind of cold qi rising from his fingertips, which instantly entered his meridians, and he only felt a powerful suction force wrapping his internal organs, and compressing his flesh and blood body crazily, enduring considerable pain.

But from the side, Xia Chen's body has become blurred, because he was soaked in the cold air that came out, and his body looked distorted and deformed, and finally Xia Chen retracted into the hole, and if you look closely, the dark vortex is speeding up, as if it is teleporting.

"Very good, you really entered it, and the old man's hope is more likely. ”

Yang Kun was sitting in the secret room at the moment, muttering to himself gloomily, his confidence in Xia Chen had become quite sufficient.

In the next breath, Xia Chen was already in another space, and at the same time, the invisibility charm was invalid. It was like a cave, cold and empty, and Xia Chen was amazed at the closed structure and the constant dim light.

Xia Chen stood in place, and through careful inspection, he found that there were twelve square boulders around, each of which was dozens of meters high. It was smooth, and the surface was even colder, and the twelve boulders happened to form a semi-circular arc, as if forming some kind of formation.

However, it was after taking a closer look that Xia Chen's face also became ugly, he didn't find the entrance when he came, there was only an incomparably solid stone wall behind him, and only through the twelve stone formations could there be a way out, which was also Yang Kun's instructions to him.

"Xia Chen, when you enter the dark vortex, you can be regarded as arriving at the Ling family's mysterious underground palace. First of all, you will encounter the Divergent Sect Technique, this mechanism is only known to the Ling family has a way to avoid, and outsiders will be besieged when they enter its range. But as long as you follow the old man's method, it is very simple to pass this level......"

Xia Chen's mind echoed Yang Kun's narrative that night, and what he was facing in front of him was the mechanism of this era, a kind of disagreement mechanism technique that was simply crushed and synthesized by strength. It also belongs to the category of the five elements simple formation, the stone is gold, and this is the golden stone henge.

"The situation is quite big, a bit like imitating the mechanism of the zodiac of Xiuzhen. ”

Xia Chen looked into the storage ring at this time, and there were still a few items lying inside, all of which were things that Yang Kun had prepared for him. He took out one, a small inconspicuous yellow flag. But in fact, when Xia Chen held it in his hand for the first time, he couldn't help but be shocked, this was a broken array flag, on which at least ten prohibitions were imprinted, and he could forcibly open a passage in the Five Elements Array. Once sacrificed, it means that you don't have to risk your life, you just need to wait for the banner itself to break out, open a passage in the stone formation, and you can easily break through, but the premise is that this thing can only be used once.

But the role of this small flag is too great and the value is extremely high, and Yang Kun also handed it over to Xia Chen easily, so Xia Chen saw the great significance of his trip to Yang Kun.

"Huh, that person broke the secret hand I laid so quickly?" Xia Chen suddenly realized that the sea moved, and he sensed that the spiritual consciousness that had been left on the two trees at the exit of the mist array had completely dissipated, which meant that someone had come out of the mist array. But this was a big gap from the time he expected the guardian to need, and Xia Chen couldn't help but feel a little strange.

However, there is still a task at the moment, Xia Chen thought about it for a while, put this thing back, and did not directly sacrifice the flag to break into the battle according to the trick handed over by Yang Kun. He was not worried about the danger, because he had already been sure of it with his own formation attainment. At least at this level, he was able to handle it on his own. He took a deep breath and stepped forward.

The sound of "rumble, boom" was immediately heard, and all twelve boulders moved, bringing a cold wind to squeeze him together, and the closest stones to both sides of Xia Chen rumbled, and his figure escaped from the gap between the two in a flash.

Other stones quickly squeezed towards him, and he repeatedly broke through the gap several times, each time being clogged up by new stones, and each time the gap became thinner and thinner. From the outside, it was twelve square stones that were very flexible in shapeshifting, and they had to stick to Xia Chen's sleeves every time, and Xia Chen estimated that once he was hit once, if it was really the second order of the Xuan Ling Master, he would be seriously injured.

As soon as Xia Chen's feet took off, the stones rose into the air as if they had eyes, but the speed was slower than before. Another ashlar above his head pressed down on him, and there was no way to hide.

As soon as Xia Chen raised his eyes, he slapped his palm on the ashlar stone pressed down on it, and there was a muffled bang, only a few thin cracks were formed on the surface of this stone, and Xia Chen felt that its impact was enough to flatten a third-order Xuanling Master.

"This array relies on brute strength, and if I want to break through the sixth layer of condensation, it will consume a lot, and the gains outweigh the losses. Xia Chen forcibly supported the ashlar above his head, and made a decision in his heart when other stones spun rapidly on all sides and rushed over.

Xia Chen's spiritual sense had already explored the inside and outside clearly, and he gradually focused his gaze on the few dark corners in front of him. With a thought, he drove out with a ghostly mind, and lightly crossed the stones, circling around a few corners in front of him. Under the control of Xia Chen's divine soul, it seems to be completing some kind of arrangement.

Trap technique is a type of formation, but there are also many people who take it out separately as a kind of door technique that is juxtaposed with prohibition and formation. And the gist of the mechanism is indeed different from the formation, the formation has the formation eye, but the mechanism does not. It has a control valve, so that the valve leads to the means of control, which can be both open and dark. In other words, in Xia Chen's opinion, these stones looked menacing, and they were all agile and difficult to prevent. In fact, it's just the valve that operates, like a puppet on a wire.

What Xia Chen's Extreme Ghost Consciousness did was to find the invisible silk threads involved behind these stones, and they each converged in four directions, and the Extreme Ghost Consciousness disrupted their silk threads in a certain law, thus forming a string that was pulled back, all of which relied on Xia Chen's spiritual consciousness at the peak of the ninth order.

Suddenly, the boulder close to the bridge of Xia Chen's nose was stuck, and the boulders around him were all stuck, and most of Xia Chen's divine soul was used in the extreme ghost sense to control the silk threads in the four directions, and his spiritual sense was strong, and he could barely support three breaths.

But three breaths were enough, Xia Chen's hand loosened, and let the boulder fall. His speed surged, and he swept out of the gaps in the boulders, and when his body was completely beyond the range of the Divergent Mechanism, he suddenly retracted his Extreme Ghost Sense, and the invisible string shattered.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, all the boulders flicked, and then collided together, suddenly the momentum was huge, the gravel flew, and this mechanism was scrapped. At the same time, the corners in front of Xia Chen suddenly burst open, and the entire hidden mechanism valve that manipulated the stone formation was also scrapped, bursting out of three large holes.

Yang Kun would definitely not have expected such a result, and the biggest mistake in his estimation of Xia Chen this time was that he did not know Xia Chen's own attainments in the formation.

Xia Chen then walked to the hole opposite him, and the smell of decay came to his face, followed by a feeling of coldness, and the scene inside made his pupils shrink suddenly.

"This is the control valve of the mechanism, this is the ......"

Xia Chen also felt a chill in his heart, as if he had been frozen, because he saw that there was a half-decomposed corpse lying in this hole!

Most of this corpse was decomposed, and bursts of corpse qi diffused, Xia Chen vaguely saw that this was a male corpse, and there was no doubt that he should have been a cultivator before his death, because the exposed bones of the corpse were obviously refined. It's just that the corpse has thin pinholes on its body, densely packed.

When Xia Chen first looked at it, the corpse visibly twitched, and then it remained motionless, as if it had completed its mission because of the destruction of the stone henge.

Xia Chen looked at the other two holes, both of which were the same scene, three corpses, all with pinholes, they were the valves of this boulder mechanism.

"Using the human corpse as the valve of the mechanism, carving the prohibition, so that the corpse can operate the stone henge on its own even if it is a dead thing, I don't know how many years have passed, if this is done by the Ling family, then why do you have to rely on human corpses?"

After all, Xia Chen had experienced killing, although such a scene was rare, but he also quickly calmed down, but he had a further understanding of the Ling family, and he faintly felt that this time he might encounter something more terrifying.

After carefully examining the corpse, Xia Chen even took a look at it, and what puzzled him was that the remains of these three people, the backbone bones, eight ribs, and sternum bones, were all hollowed out, leaving only the shell of the bones, which was really terrifying.

However, at this time, the Yin Transformation Sigil on Xia Chen's arm flashed again, but it was very weak, and Xia Chen's brows were tightly locked.

"Hmm, why did this kid pass through the Stone Formation Mechanism, but he didn't stick to the traces of the passage back then? Didn't he use the Broken Formation Banner? This is impossible, or something has changed......

Yang Kun was suspicious for a while at the moment, he found that the control of the Yin Transformation Technique did not achieve the desired effect, which meant that he had a sense of uncertainty about Xia Chen's actions for the first time.

"Is Yang Kun urging again?Why is this Yin Transformation Technique not as strong as before, how does he know about my every move?" Xia Chen was suspicious again, after all, if you want to perceive his actions on the other side, the best thing for the other party to do is to brand spiritual consciousness on yourself, but this kind of means must at least reach the strength of foundation building. If you want to be in the Yang family, you can always pay attention to your actions as if you have eyes on yourself, which not only has to brand your spiritual sense, but also leave a wisp of spiritual consciousness to distract yourself, which at least requires Jin Dan's cultivation, and it is obvious that Yang Kun cannot do it.

So how did Yang Kun control his behavior? Xia Chen looked around again, his eyebrows were still locked, he shook his head, glanced at the three corpse pits, and walked forward.

The light ahead is darker, the cold is thicker, and if you are a mortal, you will be frozen to death. Xia Chen came to the end, and there was a wall in front of him, but there was a yin-yang carp figure on the wall.

This picture is the same as the painting wall of the mourning hall, which is carved from the stone wall, and the carp heads, one yin and one yang, each represent a passage.

It's just that Xia Chen didn't notice that far behind him, some of the stones that had been calm after being shattered suddenly scattered silently, as if to make way for a way.
