Chapter 419: Formation and Potential
The words of the old man fell into the ears of everyone, and they all nodded slightly, and there was no superfluous expression on their faces, as for whether they believed it in their hearts or not, only they themselves knew.
Abel looked at the compass and then looked around: "Since you have something, old man, why didn't you use it earlier?" With this judgment of the location direction, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort! ”
"Huh!"
The old man raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "Do you think I didn't want to use it at first?" It doesn't work! ”
"It's foggy here, it's hard to distinguish the direction, you think this compass can be distinguished from an ordinary compass?" He scoffed, "If it were that easy, I would have gone with you separately." ”
"Since it involves the five elements of Qimen, it must also need some judgment criteria."
"Ghost towns, water streams, forests. Monster...... These standard brawls came out, and now they can barely be used. ”
He looked at a few people calmly, his fingers kept moving the compass, and an extremely slight clicking sound sounded one after another, and the patterns and patterns on it changed in this sound, and the original compass was completely indistinguishable.
Carl nodded slightly in his heart, and at the same time there was a trace of doubt in his heart: This knife old man has this kind of tool in his hand, but how can he not know where this valley is?
This compass looks like it was clearly made for this kind of environment.
Did he hide a hand?
Or is there something else to do here?
He couldn't help but think of the things that his party had explored over the years from those tribes that had either declined or disappeared that might be related to the ancient Dian Kingdom, some secrets he had found, and some artifacts that had been handed down.
Along the way, he used some of them, and they had a certain effect, but if they were compared with the compass of the old man at this time, it would be much worse.
But on the contrary, according to his information, this Dai family village is the one that has the least information about the treasures of the ancient Dian Kingdom.
"There are strange ......" Karl remained silent, but he was already secretly paying attention, and he was three points more wary of the old man with the knife.
Click!
A crisp sound sounded, and the rotation of the compass stopped, only to see that the compass, which was originally only the size of a palm, had completely changed its appearance at this time. The lid above it opened, and a beast of different forms protruded from each of the locations corresponding to the eight directions.
If you take a closer look, you can find that the four corners of the southeast, northwest, and northwest are the four spirit holy beasts of the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu.
In the middle of that, it was not the Yellow Dragon or the Teng Snake that everyone thought it was, but a bat, a four-winged bat!
Well?
Carl's eyes narrowed slightly, and he wondered even more in his heart, among the four spirits and five directions of transmission, the one that represents the thick earth in the center is generally the Yellow Dragon, and there are also Teng snakes, and even in modern times, there is a unicorn in the false rumor, but I have never heard of using bats......
Or a four-winged bat.
"Whew...... This is the place! The old man exhaled, his gaze swept over Carl and the others, and pointed to the position directly opposite the bat with its wings spread in the center: "Even if it is not a treasure place, it is an important node, you ......"
"In that case, let's go." Carl immediately spoke, and said without hesitation: "I and the old man Dao are in the front, everyone follows, and helps us clear up the dangers that may be encountered in the back." ”
Everyone nodded, their hearts were also excited, they looked around vigilantly, let the torches in their hands burn more violently, and walked forward step by step.
The surrounding clouds and mist rippled slightly, and in the firelight, the color seemed to become more and more deep.
………………………………
The deeper you go into the forest, the calmer the wind becomes.
Although he turned his head, he could see that outside this jungle, the entanglement of ghostly fire and dark clouds seemed to be paved with blood and murderous aura.
But when they walk in this forest, they have a special sense of tranquility.
A forest seems to divide two worlds.
But everyone knows that this is an illusion, and this illusion brings that as they move forward, there seems to be a continuous stacking of stones in their hearts. The constant pressure hit them, and even made them a little breathless.
"Huh......" Professor Zhao gasped, looked around, his steps slowed down a little, moved his body a few times, and said with a wry smile: "It's really old, your body is not as good as you young people." ”
"You are old and modest, and if you can come here with us, nine out of nine young people can't compare."
Ling Xiaozi was relieved beside him: "Moreover, this forest feels strange...... It's not just that you're tired, I also think it's a bit of a big drain. ”
Jiang Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, immediately turned around, his eyes swept over the three brothers and sisters of the Zhuang family, Lin Ruoxue and others one by one, and said in a deep voice: "You all have this feeling, you all feel that your consumption has become greater and more tired?" ”
"It's okay......" Zhuang Yuliang touched his head and frowned: "There are some feelings, if you don't mention it, I really think it's caused by tense nerves." ”
"I also feel the drain." Fang Yunye frowned and moved his body: "After we came in, we rested for a while, although we didn't fully recover, but we wouldn't be so tired after walking this way." ”
"It's true that it's easier to get tired." Lin Ruoxue also spoke: "It seems to be carrying some heavy objects." ”
Everyone's footsteps were in unison, and Lin Ruoxue's words made them excited, and they started directly, letting the rope sweep the dust around their bodies.
However, they didn't notice anything, but the heavy feeling still lingered on them.
"It's not something attached...... The surname is Jiang, do you feel anything? Ling Xiaozi raised his head and looked at Jiang Xian.
Jiang Xian shook his head, he didn't feel it, was there something strange in this forest, what was so special?
"It doesn't affect everyone's actions, does it?" He looked at a few people and asked, "If it happens, go and rest now and recover your condition." After all, we have found this place, and the clues are in front of us, so we can't run away. ”
"Nothing." Professor Zhao exhaled and said, "At this moment, I have recovered a little, and the current level of exhaustion and exertion will not affect my activities. ”
"I'm pretty much the same." Lin Ruoxue nodded.
"We're fine." Zhuang Yushan also hurriedly replied, looked at Fang Yunye and the others, and then said, "Mr. Jiang, although everyone felt some fatigue and pressure just now, this is nothing. I think it's better to find the treasure spot early, because the province has more dreams at night. ”
"After all......"
He looked around, the dark forest was quite quiet, and through the branches of the leaves, he could still see the two groups of predators in the sky.
"We've learned the dangers here."
"Okay, let's go." Jiang Xian nodded and led the way first.
Everyone followed in turn, standing in their respective positions in cooperation with each other, staring at the surroundings, and when their figures disappeared far away, there was a faint sound of sinister soo in the woods that had been quiet.
Above the old trees, a faint light flashed and disappeared, and at the place of the flash, flowers of similar color to the bark and branches and leaves were blooming, low-key releasing the fragrance of the person's own flowers.
At that time, there was a glimmer of light from time to time, as if countless ghosts crawled out of the shadows.
Sand, rustling......
The slight sound made everyone's ears stand up, and their eyes were fixed, quickly observing the surrounding environment.
The breeze came by, and a cool feeling hit and was swept away by the heat on the body.
Jiang Xian took infrared night vision goggles and switched his perspective from time to time, allowing himself to switch between normal vision and infrared vision, and he was used to it after a few times.
"There is no animal thermal reaction...... he whispered to the crowd, infrared night vision devices, using the principle of thermal radiation imaging of different biological objects to distinguish, the eyes show the color of temperature difference, even the commonly known cold-blooded animals can see.
The camouflage stealth of those animals is even more ineffective, but it requires professional training to distinguish what is after the image.
"That's supposed to be the wind, right?" Ling Xiaozi touched his chin, Jiang Xian was already very proficient in the application of infrared night vision devices, and he naturally trusted it.
"Let's go." Jiang Xian didn't answer, just beckoned everyone to move on, he didn't feel a sense of crisis, but looking around, there was always a strange and uncomfortable feeling gushing out of his heart, and he didn't know what the reason was.
Step by step, the clash between the ghost town and the clouds in the sky gradually slowed down.
Jiang Xian and the others walked, looking around with different eyes, silently calculating the rotation of the eight doors outside in their hearts, and gradually most of them showed a hint of abruptness. From time to time, their eyes looked at the thickest or decaying trees in the woods, where they could occasionally see some stones.
Although there are stones elsewhere, a closer look reveals that the stones next to the giant trees have some similar specifications.
"The five elements inside and outside, born and acquired?"
Zhuang Yuliang touched his head and said with some doubts: "Second brother, I'm not mistaken, right?" ”
"That's right, it's the five elements inside and outside, born and acquired." Zhuang Yushan nodded, his eyes narrowed slightly: "This forest reciprocates with the eight gates of the outside world, forming a big cycle...... Life and death are intertwined, life and death are linked. ”
"According to our Taoist saying, these two cycles, the qi and the machine are connected, and the qi and the machine are connected, and the place of life and death affects the whole body."
Ling Xiaozi talked eloquently, and the dust in his hand swayed slightly: "With such a design, when we are close to the woods, we promote the flow of qi from both sides, no wonder the current situation occurs......"
"Leave that alone." Jiang Xian interrupted Ling Xiaozi's words: "Don't you see, where is the eye of the formation here?" ”
"Be sure, give me a little more time." Ling Xiaozi said immediately, and then he stood in place, his body turned, his fingers pinched in his hand, and there were words in his mouth.
After a while, his eyes lit up, and he took out his mobile phone from his sleeve to unlock the input with his backhand, and then stepped forward with his head held high: "Go, follow me!" I already know all about the layout here, unravel it, but in a moment. ”
"That array of eyes is in the ......"
"Here!"
