Text Chapter 66 Lu Cun Array
Although this seven-star palace was built by someone unknown, it is full of mechanisms and prohibitions, and if you trespass without permission, it will undoubtedly be extremely dangerous. But since Emperor Tian's last experience, he had already found that although this seven-star palace was difficult to pass on the surface, there were prohibitions set up in each palace that were enough to make people fall into a desperate situation. If you don't have some strength, it's impossible to pass at all.
However, in these palaces, it is not entirely by force that can be passed. Just imagine, at the beginning, Emperor Tian's strength was not even as good as now, didn't he pass through the seven palaces in the same way. Of course, at that time, he was still mostly lucky, and someone broke all kinds of prohibitions in those seven-star palaces before him. But even so, the difficulties and dangers in the palace should not be underestimated.
At this time, the road that Emperor Tian and they walked, although it was a little longer, was definitely safe. Because these three paths set by the Heavenly Pivot Palace, to put it bluntly, are a process of screening among the people who enter the Seven Star Palace. You can force your way through with your own strength, or you can use your wisdom to pass through this third gate.
And the reason why Emperor Tian and they have been walking for so long is also very simple, this third path is actually a big labyrinth inside.
Along the way, Emperor Tian didn't break this point, but just relied on his own memory to lead everyone all the way. But if he doesn't say it, it doesn't necessarily mean that others won't be suspicious. At this time, seeing Zong Zhengjun's appearance, Di Tian felt that he still had to explain it to everyone, lest everyone be suspicious of each other, and this cooperation would not go smoothly.
"Senior Zongzheng, the door of death you entered before, and what you encountered inside must be the greedy wolf array. However, according to the seniors, it seems that there is not much danger on the way, and it is not surprising that the formation should be incomplete, and the seniors can pass it easily. In fact, whether it is the second gate of life and death, or the third gate we are currently walking, it is actually just a screening of everyone who enters the Seven Star Palace. Those who have the strength can naturally choose to take a shortcut, as for the younger generations, of course, they should try to choose a relatively safe route, although it is indeed a little farther away. ”
"This third road, in fact, is a huge labyrinth inside, and when you followed me just now, you must have seen that there were many forks in the road on the way. Any one of these forks in the road, as long as one of them is wrong, is very likely to lead us into a desperate situation. The reason why the younger generation did not clarify this point to everyone before is also to alleviate everyone's unnecessary worries. Although this labyrinth is very complicated and full of crises, the juniors are still confident that they can take everyone through, so the seniors can rest assured. ”
Seeing that Emperor Tian was so sure, Zong Zhengjun couldn't help but look at him seriously, as if he wanted to see something from this kid's face. However, he was disappointed, Di Tian's eyes and expression were full of extremely powerful confidence. An unquestionable self-confidence.
Zong Zhengjun knew that although he had only known the kid for a short time, this kid's temperament was also the kind of person who could say and do.
At that moment, Zong Zhengjun just nodded, and then didn't say anything more. As long as the doubts in Zong Zhengjun's heart are eliminated, as for the rest of the people behind him, his father, the second uncle, and Dongfang Dexterity, they will naturally choose to believe in themselves without reservation. Even Duan Kaiyang, who met for the first time, silently chose to follow at this time.
After all, in this seven-star palace, even if you follow someone else in, you may not be able to go anywhere safely. At least along the way, they were relatively safe and did not encounter any danger.
And although Di Tian had only been to this Seven Star Palace once, and that was when he was on Earth in his previous life, he already had the ability to never forget. And the environment and layout here are almost the same as what he experienced when he went to the Heavenly Tomb, so although it took some more time, he still found the right path.
Then everyone continued to walk forward for about half an hour, and Di Tian and the others just felt that the passage in front of them seemed to gradually become a lot wider, and it was no longer as depressing as before.
After walking forward for a short time, he suddenly saw a gate appear at the crossing in front of him.
A relieved smile suddenly appeared on Di Tian's face, and he muttered to himself, "It's finally here." ”
"Tian'er, where are you?" Di Chongyang walked up and asked as he stood aside.
Di Tian turned his head to look at the people behind him, smiled, and said in a particularly happy tone: "Father, senior Zongzheng, we have already passed the giant gate array. ”
"Giant Gate Array?" everyone looked stunned.
What the hell is this giant gate array, and when did they pass it, why don't they feel it at all?
Almost everyone's mind is struggling with this problem.
Although others didn't know, Zong Zhengjun was obviously different, and after learning that this place and the giant god peak that might have been the time of the Hundred Emperors' War, he had already returned to the clan and consulted various records and materials. He had heard a little about the Seven Star Palace, about the Greedy Wolf Array and the Giant Gate Array that Emperor Tian had said before.
It's just that Emperor Tian just said that they had passed through the Giant Gate Array, what is going on? This Giant Gate Array, isn't it the second palace, the Palace Guarding Formation of Tianxuan Palace?
"Emperor Tian Boy, you said that what we passed just now is the Giant Gate Array of Tianxuan Palace?" Zong Zhengjun obviously didn't dare to believe it.
If that's the case, then their process might seem a little too easy, right? You know, when he entered the Seven Star Palace not long ago, he was fine when he passed through the Tianshu Palace, but he only encountered some minor troubles on the way, and he was finally in danger. But when he arrived at the second palace, that is, Tianxuan Palace, he had just entered the palace not long ago, and soon accidentally touched a mechanism, triggering a powerful prohibition in the palace. Although he finally got out of trouble with his strong strength, he still suffered a lot of injuries.
However, according to what Emperor Tian said right now, after their group actually entered through the third gate of the Tianshu Palace, it only took less than two hours to pass through the Tianxuan Palace and pass through the Giant Gate Array? No matter how you think about it, it seems a little unlikely.
And Di Tian also seemed to see through the doubts in Zong Zhengjun's heart, smiled, and just said: "Senior, when we open the door in front, the senior will believe it." ”
With that, Di Tian took a step forward and continued to walk forward. It was two thick gates, and I don't know what stone they were made of, and they were very heavy. When Di Tian pushed the door, his own power instantly exploded on his arm, and he used his strength violently, and then he slowly pushed the two doors open.
The door was open, and suddenly there was a clear opening in front of everyone, and what appeared in front of everyone was a spacious and wide land, just like the square I had seen in front of the Tianshu Palace before.
At the other end of this open field, there is a palace that is similar in shape and style to the Tianshu Palace.
In front of the palace, the plaque is engraved with several big characters of Tianji Palace.
"Heaven, Tianji Palace?" Zong Zhengjun was suddenly stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Di Tian couldn't help but wonder when he listened: "Senior Zongzheng, do you know these words?"
It stands to reason that these fonts belong to the words of Emperor Tian when he was on earth, and among all the people present, except for himself, no one should be able to recognize them. However, this Zongzheng monarch actually recognized them directly at the first sight, which had to make Emperor Tian feel strange.
I saw Zong Zhengjun shook his head and said, "The old man doesn't know the words, but the old man has seen these words and knows what they mean." More than a thousand years ago, there was also a predecessor on the old man's ancestor who entered the seven-star palace of this giant god peak. At that time, the old man's ancestor was trapped in this Tianji Palace and almost died because of it. Although the old man was lucky enough to return to the clan alive, he was silent about what happened in this seven-star palace and what was going on in the battle between the hundred emperors back then. It wasn't until after the death of that ancestor that the descendants learned about the Giant God Peak and the Seven Star Palace in some of his messy memories. Therefore, the old man recognized these words. Unexpectedly, after more than 1,000 years, the old man was fortunate enough to be here and follow in the footsteps of his ancestors. ”
Having said this, Zong Zhengjun's face suddenly showed a trace of excitement, and he walked forward. He hadn't gone far when he suddenly stopped and turned to look to his right, at a large black rock.
"What kind of person, sneaky, don't let the old man come out!" Zong Zhengjun suddenly snorted coldly.
Hearing this, Di Tian and the others were suddenly startled and hurriedly became vigilant.
Is there anyone around here?
Di Tian frowned tightly, with his keen divine sense, which was far beyond ordinary people, he couldn't even sense that person's existence. Could it be that the person hiding in the shadows is so strong?
There was silence all around, and there was no movement.
I saw Zong Zhengjun snort coldly, and suddenly his figure flashed, and he disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in the blink of an eye. By the time his figure reappeared, it was already more than ten zhang away, at the black boulder. Without the slightest warning, Zong Zhengjun raised his palm and slapped it towards the black rock.
Rumble!
With a loud bang, the black rock shattered in response, and the rubble flew up.
At the same time, I saw a gray figure also fly up from the explosion, and then quickly landed opposite Zong Zhengjun, confronting him.
Zong Zhengjun looked at the person who suddenly appeared, he looked about the same age as himself, dressed in a gray robe, fifty or sixty years old, with gray hair and a thin appearance. The eyes that had been squinting slightly, seemingly cloudy, faintly revealed a terrifying light.
"Who is Your Excellency, what are your intentions to hide here?" Zong Zhengjun stared at the gray-robed man with cold eyes and asked.
After the gray-robed man settled, he only glanced at Zong Zhengjun slightly, and then soon his eyes fell on Di Tian and the others not far behind. Zong Zhengjun clearly saw that when this person saw Zong Zhengjun and the others, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
And at this time, Di Tian and the others, who saw the appearance of this gray-robed man clearly, couldn't help but be equally surprised.
Di Tian couldn't help but walk up, looking at the gray-robed man, he seemed surprised, and seemed to be a little incredulous and said, "Old Xu, is it really you, why is your old man here?"
Hearing this, Zong Zhengjun couldn't help frowning slightly, turned his head to look at Emperor Tian, and said, "Emperor Tian boy, do you know him?"
Emperor Tianxia nodded subconsciously and said, "Senior Zongzheng, don't be nervous, it's your own person." This old Xu is a member of my emperor's family. ”
As he spoke, a smile appeared on Di Tian's face.
The person who suddenly appeared in front of them was Xu Lao, who had escorted Emperor Tian from Qingzhou City to Zhongshu City in the first place. It's just that Xu Lao didn't know what to do at that time, and after arriving in Zhongshu City, he suddenly left. Although Di Tian also vaguely guessed that Xu Lao's departure was probably inseparable from this ancient secret realm discovered by the Dongfang family. But I didn't expect that he would really meet him here.
"Ditian, why are you here?" Old Xu looked at Ditian with his eyes, his lips did not move, but suddenly such a sentence came from Ditian's ears.
Xu Lao couldn't speak, he was talking to him with the skill of transmitting sound into the secret, and others naturally couldn't hear it. Di Tian smiled and said, "Elder Xu, this matter is a long story, let's talk to Elder Xu in detail later." It's just that Old Xu, you said before that you had an important thing to do, but now you suddenly appeared here. Could it be that the important things that Elder Xu said were also here for the Seven Star Palace on this Giant God Peak?"
When Xu Lao heard this, he seemed to be slightly surprised, looked at Di Tian, and then looked at Di Chongyang and the others who came one after another behind Di Tian. He seemed to be thinking about something, and finally glanced at Zongzhengjun, and did not answer in a hurry, but said to Di Tian again: "This Zongzheng Lao'er, is it with you?"
Di Tian nodded and said, "Right now, the Zongzheng seniors are allies with us. ”
Hearing this, Xu Lao didn't ask in detail, but just said: "It seems that your purpose should be the same as that of the old man, and you are also here for the Seven Star Palace." Zongzheng Lao'er, don't be there to be tempted secretly, the old man knows that you can hear my conversation with Emperor Tianzi. Since you are now an alliance with the imperial family, then you and I will not become enemies, so there is no need to be so wary. ”
Di Tian heard this sentence in his ears, and couldn't help but look at Zong Zhengjun beside him, only to see that the nerves that he had been tense seemed to be slightly relaxed. Zong Zhengjun was obviously full of curiosity about the identity of this Xu Lao, but in front of everyone, he didn't ask too much. Just nodded at Xu Lao, then stood aside and stopped talking.
At this time, Di Chongyang and the others had already walked up, Di Chongyang came to the depth of Xu Lao, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Xu Lao, I really didn't expect to see your old man here." ”
Facing the people of the imperial family, Old Xu's old face engraved with deep wrinkles still showed a rare smile, and said, "Family master, you are also here for the Seven Star Palace?"
Di Chongyang nodded and said, "The Dongfang family summoned us together to the Falling Back Mountain Villa a few days ago, saying that they invited us to explore this ancient secret realm together, and then we just entered here not long ago. How long have you been here?"
Xu Lao said: "It's only a day and a half earlier than you, since you can get here, but you have already passed the greedy wolf array and giant gate array in front?"
Hearing this, Di Chongyang's eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of Di Tian, if it weren't for Tian'er, they wouldn't know where they were trapped now, how could it be so easy to come here. Di Chongyang's face obviously revealed a hint of pride, proud of his son, and at the same time replied: "Tian'er brought us here, and we have just arrived here." Since Elder Xu has already taken the first step here, maybe he can roughly say what the situation is now?"
Hearing this, Elder Xu seemed to look at Di Tian in disbelief, was this kid who brought them over?
Although it was strange, Xu Lao didn't ask too much, but said: "The old man has been here for two days, and he is now trapped in front of him by the Lu Cun Array of the Tianji Palace, but he can't pass it." ”
Xu Lao's words were obviously not just said to Di Chongyang alone, and Di Tian on the side also heard it clearly.
Di Tian couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Elder Xu, what is the Lu Cun Array like? Is it really that powerful?" Please let Elder Xu tell me in detail." ”
And Xu Lao didn't seem to have the intention of hiding it, even if he roughly talked about what he encountered in this Tianji Palace.
It turned out that after Xu Lao came to the Tianji Palace, according to his cautious temperament, he first carefully observed the environment of the Tianji Palace. But from the outside, there was nothing special about this Tianji Palace. The famous hall inside the palace, he couldn't see the reason.
Helpless, Xu Lao had to venture into the inner hall.
The inner hall of this Tianji Palace is also similar to the Tianshu Palace and Tianxuan Palace that I passed through before, and there is nothing special along the way. It wasn't until Xu Lao came to the depths of the inner hall of Tianji Palace that he encountered a spacious hall that was the same as the one that Emperor Tian had seen when they were in Tianshu Palace. It's just that inside this great hall, it is closed on all sides, and there is only one passage ahead, and nothing else.
Xu Lao thought about it in his heart, and finally chose to enter the passage.
But who knew that this passage could be so weird. As soon as he entered the passage, Xu Lao felt as if he had suddenly entered another time and space, and there was chaos on all sides, and he couldn't see. And the most important thing is that after he entered the passage, the power of his body suddenly froze, and he could no longer use a single inch.
No matter what method Xu Lao used, once he entered that passage, his cultivation would be lost.
Such an unexpected situation made Xu Laoshi frightened. You must know that in this seven-star palace, it is possible to fall into the seven-star killing array at any time, and the reason why Xu Lao encountered this situation is very likely that he has fallen into the Lu Cun array in the Tianji Palace. In this Lu Cun Array, all cultivation techniques cannot be used, no matter how advanced your cultivation is, when you get here, you can only be no different from an ordinary person.
But anyone who has a strong body of strength suddenly loses his cultivation, and I am afraid that anyone will be afraid.
It was precisely because of this that Xu Lao, after several hesitations, finally retreated from the passage. In the next two days, he also tried several methods, but in the end it still did not work.
