Chapter eighty-six, break the defense and fall into a maze

Qingshi studied the stone gate array, and after two days, he finally slowly figured out some doorways, this stone gate circle is relatively old, and its complexity should have reached level five.

Qingshi is a fourth-level formation mage, although it seems that he is only one level behind, but for ordinary formation mages, this level can only be made up for by at least thirty years of penance.

However, Qingshi was of course not an ordinary formation mage, and he had in his mind the memory of the formation path spell of Xiao Lou, a seventh-level formation master.

These memories are like an encyclopedia of formations, and they are not the knowledge that Qingshi himself has mastered, but when Qingshi encounters difficulties, he can read and solve his doubts at any time.

And with the application of these memories to actual operations, these memories have also slowly transformed into Qingshi's own things, rapidly improving Qingshi's formation cultivation.

Time passed day by day, and Qingshi became more and more experienced in how to crack the Shimen Xuan Array, but Shen Binghong and Teng Shouqian were confused from beginning to end, and it was difficult for Qingshi to explain it to them.

Even if he is as smart as Shen Binghong, he is only a little better than Teng Shouqian, and if he wants to understand the Shimen Array, he can't do it at all.

Therefore, instead of helping Bluestone, they asked Bluestone to spend time teaching them. Teng Shouqian gave up the research on the third day, Shen Binghong had to give up on the fourth day, and then Chen Tianye also came to study with Qingshi for two days, and his level was not much better, so he soon gave up.

Next, Qingshi studied quietly, and finally fully understood the Shimen Circle on the tenth day, and then spent another day thinking about the method of cracking it. And this shows that Qingshi has touched the threshold of a fifth-level array mage.

Early this morning, Qingshi brought Shen Feiyun and Chen Tianye to assist him in breaking the formation, he did not let Shen Binghong and Teng Shouqian, who were formation mages, assist him, because in terms of the formation breaking technique alone, Shen Feiyun and Chen Tianye were no worse than Shen Binghong and Teng Shouqian, and the true qi cultivation required to break the formation, these two were naturally much stronger.

There is nothing wrong with the cracking method of bluestone, after about an hour and a half of cracking layer by layer, bluestone finally showed a relieved smile.

Qingshi said to Shen Chen and the others: "Brother Feiyun, you hold down the left door three times and four door nails with both hands, and Brother Amano press the three middle and six door nails on the right door, and when I call up, we will work together, this should be the last layer." ”

Shen Feiyun and Chen Tianye assisted Qingshi in breaking the formation, and they had already cracked the four-layer formation together, and they had already memorized the location of the copper nails on the door, and immediately operated according to what Qingshi said.

Qingshi himself pressed a copper nail in the left door with his left hand, and held down the two copper nails under the right door with his right hand.

The three of them exerted their strength at the same time, only to hear a low rumbling sound from inside the stone gate, and then, the heavy stone gate slowly slid open to both sides, revealing the dark cave passage.

Seeing the stone door open, the three of them laughed, and the four people outside the cave hurriedly came when they heard the movement, and they were all excited to see this scene.

It also took a lot of true qi and spiritual power to unlock this magic formation, Qingshi took out a Qi Returning Pill and swallowed it, and said with a smile: "This is the most difficult formation I have ever cracked, it's really tiring, I have to make up for it." ”

Duan Xiaoyu was a little distressed and said, "Zhu Ping, this dog thing is really bad enough." Let's go in and get him out, and see if I don't knock out his teeth!" So saying, he was about to go to the cave.

Shen Binghong hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Oh, Sister Xiaoyu, don't worry, it's so difficult just to enter this door, I don't know how dangerous it is in this cave, I have to be prepared!" Besides, I have to let Brother Qingshi rest and rest! ”

Duan Xiaoyu had no choice but to stop.

Qingshi smiled: "I don't need to rest, but there must be some strange dangers in this cave, we have to prepare." After speaking, he looked at Shen Feiyun.

Shen Feiyun looked at Qingshi and knew that he had only lost his energy slightly, and there was no problem, so it would be okay to take a few pills. He immediately thought for a moment and said, "There is no doubt that there are unknown dangers in this cave, we must be careful. In this way, I, Brother Amano, Qingshi, Qinghan and Xiaoyu go in, and Shouqian and Binghong you two stay outside to take care of them. ”

Teng Shouqian was a little disappointed, but he also knew in his heart that Shen Feiyun's arrangement was not wrong, so he had to agree, and Shen Binghong naturally had no opinion.

Shen Feiyun took out two small jade cards that were one inch square, handed one of them to Shen Binghong and said, "This is the induction talisman, it is a pair, if I crush mine, you will also break this at the same time." If you find that the induction charm is shattered outside, it means that we have encountered a danger in the cave that we can't handle on our own, so you two will immediately go back to the academy and report it to Elder Liu, understand? ”

Shen Binghong and Teng Shouqian all nodded in agreement.

After getting ready, Shen Feiyun took Qingshi and the other four people into the cave, and each of them took weapons in their hands.

Shen Feiyun took out a lighting spirit weapon that emitted bright light, and with a slight wave of his hand, the lighting spirit weapon flew into the air more than two feet in front of him, and the bright light sprinkled down, illuminating the dark cave.

Qingshi only then found that Shen Feiyun's magic weapons and spiritual weapons were a lot, and they were all very applicable, pay attention to his sword, but it was an ordinary long sword, as simple as him, and he couldn't see the level.

According to Shen Feiyun's arrangement. Among the five people, Shen Feiyun walked in the front, behind him was Wu Qinghan, Qingshi walked in the middle, followed by Duan Xiaoyu, and Chen Tianye was at the end.

Everyone marched along the cave, and the illuminating spirit weapon had been suspended and floating in front of them under Shen Feiyun's control. The terrain began to descend, and after descending a section of the slope, a more inclined stone staircase continued downward, and everyone walked hundreds of steps, feeling as if they were slowly entering the belly of the mountain and going deep into the ground.

This cave tunnel is not completely dug on the mountain rock out of thin air, but along a natural mountain crack, as the tunnel deepens, the crack above the top of the cave is getting wider and wider, suddenly, the light of the illuminating spirit weapon in front of it suddenly dimmed, it turns out that the tunnel has reached the end, and the lighting spirit weapon has entered a larger space.

Everyone walked out of the tunnel one after another, only to see a huge natural cave in front of them, Shen Feiyun waved his hand slightly, and the illuminating spirit weapon flew upward, emitting a brighter light, illuminating the entire cave space.

Only then did everyone see the full picture of this natural cave space.

The top of this cave is about 30 zhang high and about 50 zhang wide, several trickles flow out from the mountain wall on the right side of the people, and slowly converge to a large waterhole at the foot, the water of the waterhole overflows and flows out from the opposite side, forming a small stream and continuing to flow forward, flowing to a huge natural cave tunnel that is deep and pitch black.

Shen Feiyun controlled the illuminating spirit weapon and slowly flew into the cave tunnel, this tunnel was obviously also naturally formed, and the scale was much larger than the tunnel that had been artificially dug along the mountain crack just now.

Underneath this tunnel is the creek, which is very little now, but it can be seen that it also has violent times, and the tunnel is obviously the result of this underground stream washing over the years.

On the left side of the tunnel, there is a wooden plank road that has been dug out by hand, and the plank road has obviously been damaged by no one for many years, and the trestle has broken in several places and has to be jumped over. Of course, for Shen Feiyun and other monks, this is not a difficult matter.

After walking for at least two or three miles, everyone finally walked out of the tunnel and came to a small stone platform, only to see that this stone platform was on the wall of a huge cave, the top of the cave was at least 100 zhang high, and the bottom of the cave under the foot was almost 50 zhang deep, and the opposite cave wall seemed to be hundreds of zhang away, and there seemed to be several black holes on the cave wall.

This huge cave has a faint light, so everyone can see the situation of this cave more clearly. The light came from the bottom of the cave, and there was a large flat ground on the right side of the cave bottom, and some uneven stone towers were erected on the ground, and the bluestone silently counted them, a total of thirteen.

There is a light source on the top of each stone tower, and although the soft light is not very bright, it is enough for Qingshi and others to see clearly.

In addition to these stone towers, the vast cave floor is also scattered with the ruins of many man-made buildings, and under the deepest stone wall of the cave, there is a lone tall stone tower towering, and there is a faint light source on this stone tower.

The small stone platform where everyone stood originally had a wooden plank path leading to the ground, but now it has been broken.

Shen Feiyun observed for a while, then released the small airship equipped by the academy and said, "Let's go down!" After saying that, he jumped on the airship first, and Qingshi and the other four people also jumped up, but after a few breaths, the airship went down to the cave ground, which was relatively soft sand.

As soon as everyone stepped out of the airship and stepped on the ground, they immediately found that there was a strange energy fluctuation on the ground, and Qingshi shouted: "Not good! He hurriedly looked back at the cave platform where he came, but found that it was now a stone wall, and the entrance to the cave had disappeared.

Shen Feiyun and the others heard the cry of Qingshi, followed Qingshi's gaze, and found that the cave entrance had disappeared, and couldn't help but be stunned together.

Qingshi smiled bitterly: "We're in a maze!" It's my fault, I didn't even see it. ”

"Don't panic, everyone!" Shen Feiyun said calmly, "Qingshi, you don't have to blame yourself, we have long expected the danger, and it is not a big deal to fall into a maze." You can even crack the stone gate magic circle at the entrance of the cave, and I believe that it is not a problem to crack this maze. ”

Qingshi took a closer look left and right, shook his head and said: "This maze is of a very high level, and the scale is very large, this whole space is a maze, and there is no obstacle in the maze, but it is even more difficult to get out!" ”

"Brother Qingshi, I believe you can do it!" Duan Xiaoyu said, "Besides, it's just a maze, what are you afraid of?" ”

"There's nothing dangerous about the maze itself, it's just that you're trapped inside and can't get out. As long as you have enough time, you should have no problem cracking it. Qingshi said with a wry smile, "But there will definitely not be a maze here, I'm afraid there are some things that are more terrifying than the maze!" ”
