The valley slopes down, and the old helm of the Black Bamboo Society is hidden in a forest of lost leaves. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

From the outside, this place is inconspicuously a few simple houses connected by earthen corridors within a low wall, and there is not even a single guard, but when you go around the entrance from behind the wall, you will find that the simple houses inside seem to be in a different position than when you look at them from behind.

Shen Fengming frowned when he saw that the thorn had already frowned, so he said: "This is according to the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, you are in different positions, it looks like there will be some illusions." The Taoist priest should be good at this, but there are some other buckle rings and hidden weapons, if no one brings them, I am afraid you will not be able to deal with it. ”

He stabbed and said, "Then I bother Gongzi Shen to take us in." ”

Shen Fengming said: "I'll go ahead, Taoist, you let the little girl go in the middle." ”

"Don't! Let Brother Jun Li go in the middle, I looked at him. "The thorn is very awe-inspiring.

Shen Fengming smiled at Jun Li and said, "This little girl protects you in everything." But he frowned and didn't say a word.

"Brother Jun Li, is there anything wrong?" asked him as Thorn calmed down.

Jun Li seemed to look at it for a while, and Fang said: "I don't know why, I stand here, I feel that this formation is not right, compared to just now, it seems that it is not just because we walked from different angles." I'm a little worried if we've been discovered, so the cord is moving?"

"Probably not. Shen Fengming said. "We haven't entered the gate yet, and the whole wall can't be laid outside. Besides, this helmsman has been no one for a long time, and those artificial mechanisms have long been left unattended, leaving only those dead buttons still a little dangerous. Even if the eldest brother came today, he was not good at the way of the mechanism, and he could only enter along the gap that he knew in advance, and it was impossible to control the qi cable. ”

Jun Li nodded. "Okay, then you lead the way, let's go in and have a look. Thorn, you take his hand and follow him. ”

Thorn originally wanted to insist on going to the end, but seeing that Jun Li didn't seem to even give him room to say more, he could only pull Shen Fengming as he said. Entering the entrance, Shen Fengming said in a low voice: "The room in the middle is where the Gold Medal Wall is located, and the room in the north should be the place where the eldest brother rests, as for where Cheng Ping and the two of them are locked up, it is difficult to say, so they can only go to find them one by one." ”

Sure enough, I saw a circular hut in the center. The area around the hut was empty, and a miserable white dying wind lamp hung high above it, the only source of light in the place. It is precisely because of this that the shadows of the three people are weakly cast on the ground on the side of the corridor they are walking by. Sure enough, there were a lot of tripping buckles in this place, and Shen Fengming led the two of them to avoid them carefully, and first started to check the first room on the right.

But the house was empty. The three of them withdrew, and Han Cen Cen's light suddenly shone on his face, and Shen Fengming squinted unconsciously, and scolded in a low voice: "Ghost place." ”

The half-light is enough to charm the eye. The three of them searched for three rooms in a row along the earthen corridor, all of which were empty, and the darkness inside the house was much more intertwined with the miserable white outside, and they were a little dizzy. And, no matter how many miles you walk, looking at the position of your shadow, you are always cast exactly the same by the angry wind in the middle of the lamp, the same angle, the same length, and suddenly there is an illusion, in this array, I really don't know how much I have walked and where I have gone.

"If it goes on like this—the next room is due north, right?" said the Thorn. "We're going to avoid that, right?"

Jun Li looked back. Where is the entrance to my own entrance? I can't even see it clearly. At that time, I could still feel that the formation was not correct because I was still outside the formation. What now?

Just as he was thinking about it, he was in front of the porch of the fourth room. According to Shen Fengming's knowledge, this direction is a gap because it is the residence of Zhang Gongchang, and there is no mechanism to install it.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief during these few steps, but they were also afraid of alarming people, and although there was still a distance, they did not dare to make a sound. Jun Li was still looking at the direction. If the entrance is out of place, the house due north is the position. But why is there always a feeling that this is not due north?

He looked up at the sky, it was really dark, he wanted to feel the direction of the wind, but it didn't even seem to come into the circle, he was cut off.

Thorn seemed to sense his uneasiness, and turned around and said, "Brother Jun Li, what's wrong with you?"

said that it was too late, but she felt that Shen Fengming in front of her suddenly pushed herself, and she was caught off guard and fell backwards. Jun Li was also unprepared, took the thorn in his arms, and took two steps back.

He said in a low voice: "Brother Shen, how can you ......?"

Before he finished speaking, he gasped, and saw that Shen Fengming's right forearm had been pierced by a long arrow, but I don't know if it was because he and the thorn were distracted by other things, no one noticed the arrow, and there was no sound at all.

Only then did I see Shen Fengming gritting his teeth and enduring the pain and said, "Daoist, I probably touched the strings, this is not a difficult position." You have to figure it out...... Determine the lower bits. ”

"Let's look at your injuries first. Jun Li said, "Does it matter?"

Thorn had already stepped forward, shook Shen Fengming's elbow with both hands, looked at it, and said, "Do you have any wound medicine on you?"

"I have. Shen Fengming said, touched it himself, and said with a wry smile, "The old wound has just scabbed, and I thought I didn't need to use it anymore." ”

The arrow was so thin that the stab broke the arrow with a single blow, and it tore the sleeve around his wound and tied his arm to stop the bleeding. Jun Li saw that she seemed to want to pull out the arrow, but she seemed to be a little afraid, and unconsciously stretched out her hand: "I'll come." ”

The stab gave way to him. Jun Li first sealed Shen Fengming's arm to bend the pool, lightly pressed around the wound with one hand, and held the tail of the arrow with the other, and pulled the long arrow outward. Probably because the acupuncture point was sealed, Shen Fengming didn't feel very painful, but the stabbing then poured the medicine powder on his wound, and he took a breath of cold air between his teeth.

"It's good that it's not poisonous. Thorn said, bandaging him. Shen Fengming thought for a moment. "Daoist, it's better to put out the light in the middle first. ”

Before Jun Li could speak, he said, "Why?

"It's better than being fooled by it. Shen Fengming said. "Without this thing, perhaps the Taoist priest would be better able to distinguish where we are in this entire array. ”

Jun Li nodded. "Well, maybe. ”

"That's good. Thorn picked up the arrow on the ground and threw it at the lantern, and with a "pounce", his eyes were full of darkness.

"Brother Jun Li, I'll just take care of Shen Gongzi, let's see how to go. Thorn said.

"I don't have to take care of it. Shen Fengming said. "It's just that since I touched the strings, I guess my eldest brother also knows that someone has broken in, so be careful. ”

"I think he already knew. Jun Li, who was observing everywhere, suddenly spoke, his eyes looked at something in the height, and he didn't move.

"What?" Shen Fengming also looked up, only to see that after the light dimmed, he could barely see a smooth thing obliquely attached to the top of the corridor.

"Yes...... Mirror?" he frowned. "I came before, and I didn't have this thing. ”

"It looks like it's all the way here. Jun Li looked down and pointed not far ahead. I saw that the eaves of the corridor, the ground, and the corners were already densely covered with small mirrors, and the angles must have been accurately calculated, and under the refraction one by one, it was just enough for people to see clearly in a certain position. It stands to reason that if the other party can see himself, he will also be able to see the other party, but because the light is on, he can see the three people, and the mirror is often backlit, and if the other party is specially placed in the dark, it is difficult to find. Now that the lantern is extinguished, he still can't see the other party, but the other party must not be able to see him either.

"Now that the mirror has been laid out, I think we have already been discovered while we are still outside. Jun Li said. "This formation must have been moved. Don't move, I'll take a look around. ”

Jun Li said, counted about ten steps back, walked back, walked back for more than twenty steps, and then walked back.

"It's terrible. He smiled wryly. "We're still in the southeast Xun, and the three times we just entered are probably in the same room. ”

"What?" said the stab. "That'...... So how do we get out?"

"Someone watched our movements just now, as soon as we left the room, he took advantage of the change of light and darkness to cause illusions, he moved the formation, so that we came out and had a wrong judgment of the direction; ”

He paused and said, "I'll go ahead this time." Thorn, you're at the end, what's the problem?"

"Are you looking down on me?" Shen Fengming couldn't help but interject.

"I'm afraid you've only walked through the unchanged formation here, if the formation method moves again, won't you still find the way?"

"Then you don't have to put me in the middle, right?"

"That's because you're going to watch a little bit for me, too. Jun Li said. "Those buckles are not my forte, but you have to remind me all the time. ”

Shen Fengming had no choice but to respond.

The next part of the road really became much smoother, but I found two more rooms in a row, and there was still no trace of Cheng Ping and the others. It was calculated that more than an hour had passed since I came in, and suddenly there was a light in front of me, and in the middle, a dead wind lamp was lit again, and then another one. The two lamps illuminated the room in the middle where the "Gold Medal Wall" was located.

As soon as the door opened, an old man walked out. The thorn stepped forward to block Jun Li, but Shen Fengming raised his hand to stop him first.

"Are you...... Old Qian?" he said hesitantly.

The old man shook his head at him and said, "Xiao Shen, you're early!"

"I have something to do with my eldest brother, are you-the machine spring on your side? Can you turn it off for the time being, let me go first?"

"If you're looking for big brother, you're too late. "Qian Lao said. "He's just gone. ”

"...... is he gone, where is he going?"

"He told you that since you have come, you should stay here until he returns, and it will be business as usual. ”

“...... Can you let me go over to you first?" Shen Fengming said.

Qian Lao sighed: "The spring has long been turned off, if you want to come over, come over." ”

Shen Fengming moved, Jun Li hurriedly pulled him and said, "Be careful." ”

"He's not going to hurt me. Shen Fengming said and walked over. Jun Li and Thorn were helpless, so they had to follow together.

When he arrived at the open space in the middle, Shen Fengming said, "Old Qian, don't tell me that you are operating the formation just now?"

"I'm the only one here, not who I am. ”

"There hasn't been anyone here for hundreds of years, how can you know about the change in formation? Are you deliberately embarrassing me or what?" Shen Fengming said and raised his injured arm to show him.

Qian Lao said: "At first, the eldest brother only said that he saw three people breaking in, where did I know it was you." ”

"Then why are you out again? We put out the lights, and you recognize me again?"

"That's what the big brother said later......"

Hearing their greetings until now, Thorn couldn't help it, so he squeezed forward and said, "Hey, uncle, let me ask you, what about the two people that your eldest brother captured today?"

Qian Lao was interrupted by his light words, and said hehehe: "I just said, you are a step late." Now there are only four of us in this formation. ”

“...... He—took them away again?" Jun Li couldn't help but say. "Just now?"

Qian Lao has been silent, and he is obviously the default. Jun Li snorted, pulled up the thorn, and went straight south to chase out of the main gate, only to hear Qian Lao say behind him: "It's useless." The array is closed, and the three of you can't leave today. ”

Jun Li suddenly shuddered. It's good that all the traps and formations have been lifted, but his words don't seem to be bad either—once this array without a single gap is closed in a position that is not an opening, then the people in the formation will indeed not be able to leave.

He paused, then turned around.
