Chapter Twenty-Four: The Psychedelic Ladder
Tianqi walked to the edge of the square, cautiously probed forward with his hand, and found that the original energy light curtain had receded, and the entire sacred beast square had returned to the silence it had been at the beginning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Walk out of the holy beast square Tianqi came to the huge staircase, the first time to observe the stone staircase at such a close distance, look up, the staircase is straight, as if straight to the sky, the stone staircase is about three zhang wide, each floor is about one foot high, there are stone railings on both sides, the stone fence will be carved with unknown stone beast heads on the stone pillars every other distance, the carving is exquisite, vivid, and the four holy statues have the same magic, but with Tianqi's experience, I can't see what kind of animals are carved.
Tianqi carefully stepped on one foot on the stone steps, carefully observed the surroundings, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he calmly stepped steadily, and then walked up step by step.
When Tianqi was about fifty steps up, he suddenly felt as if his body was slowly sinking.
"Could it be that the body hasn't fully recovered after fighting in the Holy Beast Square?" Tianqi thought to herself, and then sat cross-legged on the stone steps to recover her strength.
After about a pillar of incense, Tianqi stood up, feeling that his strength had recovered a lot, and then continued to climb upward.
However, this time he only climbed about twenty steps, and Tianqi felt exhausted, stopped his body, bent over the railing and gasped for breath.
"There's something weird about this damn stone staircase. Tianqi also found now that the higher the stone steps, the more laborious each step became, as if an invisible hand was grasping his feet, dragging harder and harder.
"I've come to the Holy Beast Square, and I still don't believe that I can't help your pile of stones. "When I was in the Holy Beast Square, Tianqi's original frizzy personality had been slowly worn away a lot, and this time I was not in a hurry when I encountered this situation, and my heart was horizontal, this time I didn't even rest, so I raised my feet and continued to go up.
There was silence in the huge palace, except for the occasional sound of footsteps and wheezing from the towering stone steps, proving that there was still life in the palace.
Looking from afar, he saw a small black dot on the stone steps moving slowly upward, and every point of upward movement seemed to exhaust all his strength, but the black dot did not mean to stop, and still climbed up tenaciously at that slow speed.
The black dot was Tianqi who had stepped on the stairs before, and he was topless at this time, as if in slow motion in a movie, and it took a lot of time to raise his legs every time. Beads of sweat fell down his forehead, and although each step was extremely laborious, he didn't mean to stop at all, and still looked ahead with a resolute face. His body was also slowly transforming with each step he took a solid step.
"Huh" Tianqi exhaled deeply, counting the number of steps in his heart, almost halfway through the journey, now not only his feet are like being filled with lead, but even his back is like pressing a hill, and now it is a little difficult to even straighten his waist. The sweat on his body was like rain, leaving a long sweat stain on the stone steps.
"Can't stop!" Tianqi kept hinting at himself in his heart, because he had a feeling that if he stopped to rest now, he might not even have the courage to stand up, and he had to work hard.
Tianqi made up her mind, clenched her teeth, and continued to climb towards the end of the stone steps.
Time passed, and Tianqi's climbing figure suddenly paused, looked up at the front, and then looked back at the road behind her.
"This staircase is really weird!" Tianqi said, looking at the staircase. It turned out that since he was more than halfway through the journey, he had been counting the stairs as he walked, and the stairs were about a thousand steps in total, but now Tianqi had counted more than 1,200 steps, and the distance between the end of the stairs and him had not changed, and the increasing sense of oppression no longer seemed to increase.
Tianqi was vigilant, and then continued to climb upward, first, second, third, obviously feeling that it was constantly upward, but the distance from the end was always the same.
"Could it be that this is a huge man-made escalator?" Tianqi couldn't help but think absurdly, I don't know what era of architectural style, how can there be such advanced equipment. "This should be an unknown psychedelic formation. Tianqi thought about it carefully again and came to the conclusion that this situation, similar to a ghost hitting a wall, should be an illusion.
Tianqi took out the scimitar and swung it hard at the stone pillar beside him, and suddenly the fire flickered, and the stone pillar was very hard, and Tianqi's blow only left a faint white mark on it, but it was enough to use it as a road sign.
Then Tianqi continued to raise his legs and walked upward, and when he reached the ninth order, the white seal appeared again, "Is it really an illusion?" Tianqi stopped and looked at the white seal in deep thought. No matter what the formation is, there must be a way to crack it, but I don't know what kind of formation this is, or if it is related to nine.
At this time, Tianqi's brain was spinning rapidly, and he was constantly searching in his original experience of making games, and it turned out that he would also do some plots about decryption when developing games, so he was no stranger to the phantom array. It's just that different phantom arrays have different solutions, breaking the array is like solving the nine chains, people who know the solution will feel that it is particularly simple, it is a fixed cycle method, and then unraveled step by step according to a certain law, and people who don't know the trick are often confused, and the more they solve, the more chaotic they become. So the most important thing now is to know the laws of this formation.
"It's related to nine, and it should be a formation for comparative reasons...... Could it be ......" Tianqi carefully observed the surrounding scene, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and then he stopped staying, and his feet began to move according to a certain law.
I saw Tianqi up and down, left and right, Tianqi took a total of nine steps, and when Tianqi's last step landed, he suddenly felt his body sinking, but Tianqi was happy in his heart, because the long-lost aggravating feeling was back.
"Sure enough, it is the Nine Palaces Array!" "Nine Palaces as one of the oldest formations, and the ancient traditional culture of the "River Tuluo Book" has a very close relationship, a small nine palaces can represent time, space, direction, size and a series of things containing the law, can be said to be a universal law, later generations of people have raised it to the height of philosophy, and its formula is also very simple: the meaning of the nine palaces, the law to the spirit turtle two four for the shoulder, six eight for the foot, three on the left and seven on the right, wearing nine shoes one, five in the center. It was according to this mantra that Tianqi cracked the formation.
Now that you know the formation, and you also know the formula, then the next thing is simple, as long as you follow the formula step by step, with the movement of Tianqi's footsteps, the pressure on the body is getting bigger and bigger, and the end is getting closer and closer.
