Chapter 13: The Tomb of Sanssouci
Chapter 13: The Tomb of Sanssouci
"Did anyone see the fire ox?" asked the fire roots.
"I saw him run into the ancestral hall earlier," said one of the villagers in the crowd.
"I'm afraid I've already fallen," Mouton said as if the end was near, and his hand pointing to the black hole trembled with grief.
"I'll go down and take a look, maybe I'm still alive," Huogen said in disbelief.
"I'll go too" Lu Feng resolutely spoke, he still has a good feeling for the fire cow, although it is a little annoying to be pestered by it every day, but if it is not intimacy, how can it be like this.
Huogen looked at Lu Feng and hesitated for a while before nodding in agreement, hesitating because this was a matter in the village after all, Lu Feng was a little reluctant to go, and whether there was danger underground was not yet known, and the promise was because of Lu Feng's eyes, resolute and without hesitation, Huogen knew that Lu Feng's feelings for Huoniu were also very deep.
The two of them prepared for a moment and walked carefully towards the steep hole under the ancestral hall.
originally thought that they would be at the end after walking a few steps, but who knew that Lu Feng and Huo Gen were going deeper and deeper, and they didn't reach the end for half a day.
"It's a little strange," Huo Gen said, holding a torch in his hand, illuminating the road ahead, which still had no end.
"Indeed, it feels like going around a bend," Lu Feng said what was in his mind.
Suddenly, the word trapped array flashed in his mind, and then related to the situation at the moment, Lu Feng couldn't help but be stunned: "We don't seem to know when we strayed into a trapped array."
"Trapped formation?" Huo Gen wondered, "There is still a formation in this small village?"
The effect of different formations and different formations is also different, and the formation arranged by the main attack pattern reveals a killing intent, which is to kill the formation; the main trapped formation can make the formation ever-changing, unbreakable, and often used to trap the formation, in addition to the maze array, phantom array, teleportation array, auxiliary array, etc...
And at this moment, Lu Feng and the two encountered a trapped formation.
The so-called trapped formation, refers to the formation through some special arrangements to hurt people, trapped people, trapped in the formation often has countless prohibitions, which can not only be used to weaken the enemy's strength, but also can make people unable to get out of the trap, forever fall into it.
Lu Feng recalled all kinds of memories about the trapped formations in his mind, and constantly contacted the countless trapped formations laid by the two elders in the valley, looking for subtle similarities.
"So it's hiding here!"
After going around a few times, Lu Feng suddenly smiled, and lifted a few stones in the corner in front of him, and then replaced them with a few jade pieces engraved with the 'Spirit Suppression Pattern', temporarily blocking the connection of the formation pattern.
Immediately afterward, he quickly shot an arrow at the stone wall in front of him.
Suddenly, the walls collapsed, and there was a roar of jade shattering all around, and a new entrance appeared in front of it, and a dazzling light came.
"The trapped formation is broken?"
Huogen watched all this dumbfounded, unable to interject or help, so he could only look at Lu Feng quietly.
"There is a lot of luck in breaking this trapped formation", Lu Feng smiled, just now with his understanding of the trapped formation, he luckily found a place where the array jade was, and used the jade piece engraved with the spirit suppression pattern to obstruct the operation of the formation, found out the weak point of the formation, and broke the formation in three or two clicks.
Behind the collapsed walls was a stone chamber with two permanent lamps in the doorway emitting a faint glow.
"I didn't expect that there would be a different world under this ancestral hall," Huo Gen couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the scene in front of him.
The two of them descended the steps of the entrance and lit the remaining candlesticks on the walls around the stone chamber.
Upon closer inspection, Lu Feng was surprised to find that there were countless patterns carved on the walls around him, which seemed to depict a set of various exercises.
After seeing it, Huogen was surprised and said, "This seems to be somewhat similar to my ancestral archery."
Lu Feng looked at it seriously after hearing this, and sure enough, as Huogen said, there were indeed many similarities, but the arrows contained on the wall seemed to be more delicate and subtle, and more systematic and perfect.
Lu Feng didn't take a closer look at the stealing of learning, after all, these are the ancestral skills of Sanssouci Village, and it is not appropriate to study privately without permission.
"Brother Huogen, you watch first, I'll go to the side to see if there is any trace of the fire bull," Lu Feng said casually.
"Wait for me, it's okay to look at these things in the future" Huogen didn't care about this, and quickly stepped forward to follow Lu Feng's side.
"This stone chamber must not be the end", Lu Feng saw the flames flickering on the candlestick.
"There is a wind, and it is a living wind" must have other entrances and exits.
The two of them carefully examined the bricks and tiles in the stone room, and finally fixed their eyes on the first two permanent lamps.
If there is something else in the stone room, then what controls the universe must be something that is still useful today, and then only these two ever-bright lamps are left.
Lu Feng and Huo Gen inspected left and right, and the two of them turned the lamp at the same time, but they didn't seem to react.
One left and one right, one right and one left, the same left and the same right...
Anyone who could try it had tried, but there didn't seem to be the slightest change in the stone room.
"Isn't it necessary to learn the archery on the wall to find a new entrance?" Huo Root subconsciously guessed.
"Brother Huogen, you go and learn," Lu Feng said.
"Come, let's learn together!" Huo Gen looked at Lu Feng and said unconcernedly: "I treat you as a friend and relative, and we don't need to see each other." ”
"Come, study together, I will teach you again after I have learned to save it" Huo Gen pulled Lu Feng over and said generously.
Lu Feng was a little moved, Huo Gen not only had no selfish intentions, but also taught everything he knew and learned, which really made him admire.
Although there are many archery techniques depicted on the wall, most of them are more comprehensive and easy-to-understand techniques, in addition to a few exquisite archery skills, more is to learn the technique of drawing the bow and archery, angle, timing and so on.
Lu Feng and the others originally had a strong foundation, and they soon learned the archery techniques on the stone wall from beginning to end, and memorized those techniques, arrow feather production and other records.
Strange to say, after the two of them learned nine times out of ten, the wall in front of them opened a passage without warning.
This scene can startle the two who are meditating on their feelings and learning.
Looking at the stone gate that was slowly moving upward, the two subconsciously thought that it was because the fire bull had opened the mechanism in another place.
But after the stone gate was fully opened, Lu Feng and the others did not see any trace of the fire ox, but a very large and very strange building appeared on the other side of the stone gate.
The roof of the new stone chamber was so high, four or five times as tall that it could accommodate such a large and strange building.
From a distance, this strange building looks like several huge round stone plates stacked on top of each other from large to small, like a big cake, and like a pagoda with a shaved top, each layer has one-third of the height of the body of the land breeze, and there are seven floors under the count, and three stone pillars are erected at the three opposite corners of the top floor, and the top of the stone pillar is in the shape of an umbrella, like a huge rice bowl.
"Let's go over and have a look," Huogen said softly.
The two of them walked forward cautiously, and after making sure that there was no danger, they glanced at each other, and climbed up one layer at a time.
Lu Feng climbed towards the upper end, the fire root followed, although the stone plate was a little higher and a little tired to climb, but it was difficult for the two of them, and when they climbed to the sixth floor, Lu Feng suddenly felt that the entire stone room was a lot quieter, but he didn't care too much about it, and continued to climb to the last layer.
And when he stood still, he discovered the source of the quiet.
Where is the shadow of the fire root behind him, he is the only one left in this huge stone room, and he himself has no idea.
Lu Feng's back didn't flow into a cold sweat, and he was a little creepy, this stone room was too weird......
Especially after seeing the pattern under his feet, Lu Feng was even more confused.
I saw that in the center of the topmost stone plate was carved a lifelike eye, a huge and somewhat strange eye, standing on it as if it was being stared at.
The eyes are engraved with some mysterious and subtle ancient patterns, and the texture is plain, simple and old, but no one will see it as a decoration.
I don't know if it's because of the 'eyes' carved in the center of the stone plate, Lu Feng suddenly felt as if these lines were alive.
Looking at these ancient patterns, Lu Feng felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them.
Standing on the high place of the stone plate and looking down, Lu Feng suddenly found that the strange building under his feet seemed to be the 'altar' he had seen in the book.
The so-called altar is a high platform used for worship in some areas, and in some places it is even popular to directly use living people to worship the spirits of the ancestors.
And at this moment, Lu Feng seemed to be the only tribute on this altar.
Lu Feng felt a hint of ominousness in his heart, and began to try to escape from this place by leaping down.
But it was too late, and no matter how much he tossed, he couldn't jump out of the stone plate with a diameter of less than two meters.
The pattern of the eyes on the topmost stone plate began to slowly change, from a slight opening and closing to an angry stare, revealing a trace of fierceness, and the ancient lines around the eyes were also slowly flowing at this moment, emitting an ancient orange light.
"A precursor to the formation of a formation!"
Lu Feng was not shocked and frightened, but he didn't know how to stop it, so he could only let it evolve.
I still haven't remembered what kind of formation pattern Lu Feng is in this weird and special ancient pattern, but looking at its subtlety and complexity, the grade must not be too low.
The ancient orange formation pattern revealed a trace of dead silence, spreading around with the eyes as the center, the aura in the stone plate quickly dried up and withered, Lu Feng began to feel a little weak, and his breathing became very unsmooth.
"Ancient Barren Pattern!"
Lu Feng finally remembered the record in the book.
The extremely mysterious pattern in front of him is the legendary ancient desolate pattern.
Lu Feng once inadvertently flipped through a summary book called "Linglong Treasure Book" in Linglong Valley, which was a book that recorded the most special and powerful formation patterns on the Xuantian Continent, and the 'Ancient Desolation Pattern' in front of him was the existence that ranked among the best in the book.
"The Ancient Desolate Pattern, ranked seventeenth in the "Exquisite Treasure Book", uses it as a pattern, and the array of cloth is attached to the power of desolation, which can dry up the aura and make the space dead and silent..."
This passage is recorded in that book, and Lu Feng remembers it very clearly, but there is no record of the method of cracking it in the book.
Also, the patterns that can be recorded in that book, and the solution of the arrays that are laid out, can not be explained in a book in a few words.
