Chapter Seventy-Three: Breaking the Quadruple Array
The group climbed over a mountain ridge and made their way along a valley. Although the grass is knees-free, it can still vaguely distinguish a mountain road a few meters wide, but it has become rugged after years of invasion, and the sound of tinkling water is heard from the rocks on the side of the road, which is not quiet and comfortable. Everyone's mind is on the front, and no one is going to enjoy the view of this valley.
After walking about three miles, a cliff wall dozens of zhang high stands in front of it, blocking the way, and the wide cliff is overgrown with weeds and moss.
The long sword in Gu He's hand slashed lightly in the air a few times, and the thin sword qi spread across the cliff wall, bursting open, turning all the weeds and moss into flying dust.
In the middle of the cliff wall, three simple and majestic big characters "Sihe Gate" protrude, the background is a towering ancient tree, using the technique of relief carving, the branches and leaves carved by the big tree are luxuriant, lifelike, covering the Taixie buildings, mountains and rivers. Strangely, the roots of this carved ancient tree are not rooted in the soil, but are exposed to the air one by one, like tens of thousands of snakes, entangled and hovering together, exuding a strange aura.
Looking at this shadow wall carved by the natural cliff, the magnificent composition, the meticulous knife work, the concise and neat lines, everywhere exudes the transcendent domineering spirit of the wealthy family, everyone is amazed, just from this huge and unparalleled shadow wall, you can get a glimpse of the shadow of the Sihemen that was proud of the world.
When you turn the shadow wall, a ten-meter-wide stone staircase road appears, and the cliffs on both sides go straight into the sky. The stone steps lead to a large clearing, where artemisia vines are like lakes and waves roll in the wind. Several huge sets of white bones, like ghost ships, appear and disappear from time to time. Behind the clearing is a huge valley with no edge in sight, and in the middle of the valley stands countless green hills, and this is the Sihei River.
"How can there be the remains of the Sihe Gate?" Li Duo looked around, but did not see any relics, and asked first.
Gu He looked at the thin old man who jumped out to speak, his eyes were cold, he was a little unhappy, and said with a gloomy face: "Isn't this it!"
Tiger Roaring Mountain took a few steps forward, looked carefully at the turquoise hills, and laughed, "It turns out that it is the building of the Sihe Gate!
Xin Mu glanced at the small hills full of valleys, there were thousands of them, different in height and size, and they were distributed in Sipingchuan in rows, and the grass was piercing the sky. When Zhilu said that this place used to be a famous family with a lot of people, and these small hills were declining buildings, he suddenly felt that there was a cold air in the entire Siping River, and the countless small hills were like tombs, which made people's hearts hairy.
Around the clearing in front of us, there were four huge stone statues, covered with moss, and it was impossible to distinguish what they looked like. However, from the strong limbs, it can be guessed that it must be four fierce beasts. In addition, there are many small stone statues, scattered around, like shrimp soldiers and crab generals of four large stone beasts.
"What are you waiting for, go, go in!" it was Hu Bo who spoke, and at this time the poison on his body had been completely cleared, and he had recovered his former spirit, and he raised his legs and walked to the open space.
"Wait!" Tiger Roaring Mountain roared, "Ignorant child! There are two senior brothers Gu He and Gu Ying from the North Pole Gate, and it is not your turn to speak! Come back!" Tiger Roaring Mountain saw that this calm open space was the only way to the Sihe Gate, this must be the square in front of the Sihe Gate, and this square must not be simple, if you can enter it casually, Gu He will not come with him, there must be a famous hall here.
"Ha Luha! Humen Master, really wise!" Gu He laughed, pointed to the open space in front of him, and then said: "This is the square in front of the Sihe Gate, and the only way to enter the Sihe Gate. There is a quadrangle here, and as long as we enter, the quadrangle will start on its own! The quadrangle array is an ancient formation method, which is infinitely powerful, and I also saw it in ancient books. If we rashly break into the formation, even with the strength of our Heavenly Xuan Realm, it will be nine deaths! Therefore, please ask the Tiger Sect Lord and the Ouyang Sect Master to make a move together, plus me and Gu Ying, the four of us will deal with one side by one, and we may be able to break this formation!"
The power of the quadrangle array, Tiger Roaring Mountain and Ouyang Sect Master are well understood, the quadrangle array is to set up powerful attacks in the east, south, west, and north directions, forming a square blockade, trapping the people who enter it, and then using the changes in the attacks in other directions to kill the people in the array. With the strength of one person, it is impossible to pass through the quadruple array, let alone break the formation. In this situation, only by cooperating can we break through the quadrangle and enter the remains of the quadrangle. They looked at each other and nodded.
Xin Mu watched the four of them show their weapons, and cautiously walked into the clearing, as if facing a great enemy, he wanted to go up to help, but he didn't know anything about the formation, and he rushed up, maybe it would add to the chaos, so it was better to wait and see what happened.
There was no movement in the open space within a radius of two or three miles, except for the footsteps of the four people and the slight sound of the wind. All the people stared at the four people who entered with wide eyes, "Boom!" A crisp sound made people's hearts tremble, and many people gasped, "What's wrong?"
"Shhhh ”
The four of Gu He, Gu Ying, Tiger Roaring Mountain, and Ouyang Sect Master walked slowly, watching the surroundings vigilantly, walking farther and farther, and gradually reaching the center of the entire clearing.
The invisible spiritual power spread out like a wave, spreading in every corner of the clearing, and suddenly a slight vibration came, Xin Mu frowned, presumably the mechanism was about to be activated.
In the calm air, the sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded, and in the direction ......of the four stone beasts, several black dots flew out, stabbing the four people in the middle.
The four of them are all masters of the Tianxuan Realm, their vitality and martial arts are not weak, and in the face of the flying hidden weapon, they did not seem to panic, and they waved the blades in their hands one after another, shooting down the flying short arrows.
"Boom!" There was a muffled sound, coming from the ground, and a powerful vitality spread out like mist, blocking the entire space, making it a little difficult for people to breathe, and their movements were sluggish and clumsy. The small stone beasts around them, with a slight shock, were lifted up by the powerful vitality, left the ground, and with the sound of the wind, broke through the air and swept across the sky, like a group of flying fish.
Although these stone beasts are not big, but one of them is also a hundred catties, plus it is driven by the vitality, the speed is amazing, if you are hit by these stone beasts, although there will be no worries about life, but internal injuries are inevitable.
The Ancient Crane, the Ancient Eagle, the Tiger Roaring Mountain, and the Ouyang Sect Master immediately activated the vitality in their bodies, forming a layer of protection on the surface of their bodies, and while using their body skills to dodge, they danced the blades in their hands into a violent wind, shattering the oncoming small stone beasts!
Countless small stone beasts, like moths to the fire, followed one after another, leaving no gap, not giving the four people in the formation any respite. The four huge stone beasts shook suddenly, slowly leaving their place and rushing towards the middle.
The vitality in the air became thicker and thicker, wrapping around the hands and feet of the four people like a paste, slowing down the moves of the four people. Many small stone beasts had already crashed into the vitality shields of the four people, making a sound of "poof, poof, poof, poof......".
The speed of the four huge stone beasts became faster and faster, and they made a loud roar, startling the grass silk flying all over the sky, and crashing wildly into the middle. The small stone beasts around them immediately formed a circle, and spun rapidly to enclose the four of them in the middle.
"Woo Woo ......"
The dense sound of breaking wind sounded, and countless flying arrows actually rose from under their feet and flew vertically. Seeing the danger, Xin Mu was anxious and shouted, "Watch your step!"
The four people in the formation immediately frantically urged the vitality in their bodies to gush out of their feet, blocking the arrows flying under their feet, and Gu He roared, "Everyone back to back!"
Arrows rose from the ground into the sky, gathered together, and suddenly changed direction, falling straight down like a torrential rain. The encirclement of the small stone beasts around them became smaller and smaller, buzzing and shaking, and they were about to pounce on them. The four huge stone beasts had come to an abrupt halt.
The powerful vitality was like water, and attacks from all directions attacked at the same time, and the four masters of the Heavenly Xuan Realm were also overstretched and embarrassed. The four of them saw that the vitality in the quadrangle was not weaker than them, and their physical movements were slowed down, and many exquisite moves could not be used, in the face of attacks from all sides, especially the strong impact of the four giant beasts, there was no good way for a while, if it was hard, I am afraid that there would be more than one luck. The four masters of the Heavenly Xuan Realm also broke out in a cold sweat when they thought of this.
Xin Mu saw the predicament of the four people, and quietly pulled Xiao Wu and Dieyi'er to the back of the crowd, put Xiao Wu, Xiaojin and Xiao Huo Dragon Horse into the Dragon Soul Ring, and said to Dieyi'er: "Yi'er, you will stand here and wait for me in a while, I will help them, and I will come back immediately!"
"Brother Amu, be careful!"
"Hmm!" Xin Mu nodded, rushed out of the crowd, stepped out of the "Moonlight Ghost Shadow Step", and instantly came to the quadruple array, the Heavenly Fire Dragon Knife appeared in his hand, and the majestic vitality in his body surged out, using a move Xuanmen Wind Breaking Knife, Splitting Wood Slash!
Slash at a giant stone beast that flies. No one thought that Xin Mu would suddenly attack, and there were so many small stone beasts that did not attack, but attacked the most powerful stone beasts, isn't this looking for death?
Everyone watched dumbfounded, including the four people in the array, watching Xin Mu holding a dazzling red knife, brave and fearless, with a knife in his hand.
"Boom!" the huge stone beast exploded in response, and stone chips flew wildly. The four stone beasts shattered one by one, and the vitality in the array suddenly dissipated, and the stone beasts around them suddenly lost their power, and fell to the ground like dead fish.
It turns out that the method of breaking the quadruple array is very simple, as long as one of the four stone beasts is broken, the quadruple array will no longer be a quadruple array. It's just that the people trapped in the formation are powerless to break one of the stone beasts, and the people outside the formation are powerless to break the formation when they see the masters in the formation, and they don't have the courage to attack.
Xin Mu didn't know how to break the formation at all, and he also acted indiscriminately in a hurry. Everyone looked at the young man in the dust of stone chips, and broke the quadrangle with a knife, and they were a little stunned for a while.
"Rush!" Qian Caiduo suddenly shouted, and took the lead in rushing out of the crowd and running towards the Sihe Ruins. The crowd immediately came to their senses, turned into a tide, and rushed towards the turquoise hills.
