[The blood pool reunites, picking stars and breaking the death]

"Gott~"

"Gott~"

"Ahem, cough, cough~"

A series of vomiting and dry coughing sounds broke the silence in the hall.

Wan Zhang and Du Yunlou only felt that their bodies had fallen into a deep pool, the pool water was cold, and it was extremely viscous, the two of them were choked in the water a few times, only to feel that there was an indescribable strange taste in their mouths, just like eating moldy tofu, and with a strong salty taste.

Fortunately, both of them could swim, barely struggling to swim to the surface, reaching out to wipe their faces, and using their hands and feet to shore, suddenly a more fishy bloody gas hit, and the two looked at each other again, and were dumbfounded.

Both of them are the blood of the same body!

From head to toe, his face was flushed, and blood dripped at the feet of the two, gradually converging into a pool of blood.

Looking at the place where the two of them just fell, it was clearly a pool of dark red blood!

Or, more appropriately, it should be called a pool of blood.

The two of them didn't have time to be shocked, and they vomited for a long time, until they vomited everything in their stomachs that could be vomited, and they almost vomited bile.

After recovering for a while, the two hurriedly took off the clothes on their upper bodies, wrung out the dirty blood, and barely put them on, only then did they force the nausea that still did not subside and look at the surrounding environment.

When you look up, you can see a deep pool of dark red.

How many people would have to die to gather such a deep pool of blood!

The two of them were shocked in their hearts, and they didn't need to mention it again.

In the middle of the deep pool, a huge oil lamp hung over, emitting bursts of miserable white light.

Looking up again, there was a smooth and flat stone wall, and the two of them searched carefully, and saw a slight gap in the edge of the iron lock on the side where the oil lamp was hung, which should be the mechanism hidden on the stone staircase, and it seemed that it had been restored to its original state at this moment.

The two of them looked around and gasped again.

This is a hall with a radius of more than 100 meters, and on the stone walls around it, there are also white oil lamps embedded in it, and the pale light reflects the corpses in the hall, each dead body is a corpse separation, and the head is wearing a hideous and terrifying mask.

This atmosphere is indescribably weird.

Wan Zhang stepped forward and looked carefully at a dead body, and Du Yunlou also followed at the same time.

I saw that these corpses were generally short and stiff, and it was obvious that they had been dead for some time.

"This should be the Penglai people in Gongzi's mouth, but the death method of these people is the same as that in the inn. ”

Wan Zhang looked at it for a long time, slowly stood up, and said in a low voice.

"Yes, if it looks like this, it is likely that the same person did this, and that person first killed all the Penglai people here, and then followed the road we just went to the inn, killed everyone inside, and then drifted away. ”

Du Yunlou's eyes rolled and he said his speculation.

No matter who kills it, it can be counted as a bad breath in my heart!

Wanzhang nodded thoughtfully, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a crunching sound.

"Crunch~Squeak~"

The two of them were startled, and hurriedly looked towards the place where the voice came from. But in one of the stone walls, there was a stone door that slowly rose upward, revealing the stairs behind the stone gate.

and three embarrassed figures.

"Childe!"

Wan Zhang looked at the stairs in surprise and rushed over with an arrow step.

These three people are the three of Hua Jieyu, Li San, and Nie Yuanba.

The three of them were shocked when they saw the two people in the hall, and after telling each other, they understood what happened here, and they were shocked by each other and sighed at the same time.

Compared with the calm and calm of the two of them in the stone ladder, Hua Jieyu and others can be described as nine deaths and one life along the way.

It turned out that Hua Jieyu and the three of them walked down the stone ladder with thirty hidden guards, and it was calm at first, but the stone ladder in the middle suddenly disappeared as they walked, and seven or eight hidden guards fell down like this, scaring everyone into a cold sweat.

At the very bottom, a little cold star can be faintly seen, and it is a sharp and incomparable spike grinding.

Hua Jieyu and the three of them totaled, and immediately retreated. There is no need to take risks here, this is clearly a trap designed by the Penglai people, due to the narrow ladder road, a group of people directly changed from the back team to the front team, and walked towards the way they came.

Unexpectedly, just a few steps later, a sudden change occurred.

With a bang, a piece of ash powder suddenly erupted from the walls on both sides, and the ash powder seemed to explode, and the moment it appeared, it burned directly.

Suddenly there was a scream, and the hidden guards who touched the ash immediately burst into flames, and in a few moments they turned into ashes.

"Let's go!"

Everyone didn't have time to hesitate, Nie Yuanba directly pulled Hua Xie Yu and ran down, Li San came first, and now explored the way.

When they were out of the powder, the crowd stopped.

"Ahem~Ahem~"

The narrow passage was filled with the smell of burning, which only made everyone cough and their eyes red.

After resting for a while, Li San checked and found that there were only eight hidden guards behind him!

The rest were burned to the ground by this unknown dust.

To make a long story short, the trio finally decided to continue their journey, encountering various hidden weapons along the way, such as hidden arrows, subsidence, landslides, dust, and so on, until they finally reached the end of the stone staircase.

At this time, Nie Yuanba's clothes were mostly torn, and traces of blood were faintly visible in them, most of these wounds were caused by distracting Hua Jieyu, Li San relied on his dexterous body, but he was not injured, but his clothes were a little embarrassed.

As for the hidden guards, there is not one left.

The three of them each had a heavy heart, knowing that they were careless this time, and no one expected that these Penglai people would have such clever means.

According to the original information, the other party at most has a huge underground dark room to hide, and the reason why he waited until the third watch to act was naturally to take him by surprise and catch him off guard, but it backfired, and he underestimated the opponent in the end.

On the stone wall at the end, there is also an oil lamp with a miserable white light, and directly above the oil lamp, there is a dark red letter, which looks very gloomy in this dark and narrow stone room.

This word is a dead word.

Different from what the two Wanzhang discovered, this character was engraved in Yin script, and the blood inside seemed to be flowing slowly.

The three of them searched for a while in this small space, but they didn't find any mechanism, and their hearts sank suddenly, this is really to the point where there is no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground.

Li San stared at the dead word in a daze for a while, falling into deep thought.

After a long time, he slowly spat out two words.

"Death's door. ”

"Third Master, what are you talking about?" Hua Xie was puzzled.

"Here, it seems to be a dead door. Li San said again.

"Death's door?"

"You mean......" Hua Xie suddenly stood up.

"You mean this is the door of death in Qimen Dunjia?"

"Is there really a Qimen Dunjia in this world?"

Li San nodded when he heard this, sighed, and said:

"My ancestor had a Venus mover, and he once left behind a broken booklet, which was more or less mentioned. ”

Seeing the slightly puzzled eyes of the two looking at him, Li San explained:

"Moving the Venus Official is a kind of official position that was secretly canonized by individual vassal states during the Warring States Period, which was specially used to crack various ancient tombs on the Central Plains, so as to obtain a huge amount of funeral goods to enrich the national strength. ”

Hua Jieyu and Nie Yuanba were stunned when they heard it, but it was the first time they heard this kind of statement, they really didn't expect Li San to have such a background, and when they looked at him again, there was a trace of strangeness in their eyes.

Li San smiled mysteriously and said:

"What's this, as far as I know, this kind of official position is available in almost every dynasty, but the title is different, and even our current Southern Tang Dynasty may have such a group of people. ”

The two of them were shocked when they heard this, they really didn't expect Li San to say this.

"If you move the Venus official, you can check it out if you have time. ”

Hua Xie muttered a few words, and his eyes showed a look of interest.

"It's a pity that the booklet was lost later, and the ancestor only left a skillful skill, so from that time on, I became a thief. ”

Li San sighed again and said:

"What I know now is related to Qimen Dunjia, and it's just a few words passed down by word of mouth. ”

"Qimen Dunjia is rumored to be one of the three styles given by the ancient Xuannu to the Yellow Emperor, and the same name as Renshu and Taiyi Divine Arts, called "three styles", there is a "proficient in the three forms of the gods". ”

"Qimen Dunjia is divided into eight gates, which are Du, injury, Jing, rest, life, death, surprise, and open, and take the gossip as the direction, with the nine palaces to evolve the heaven and the earth, and use the nine stars and eight gods to evolve all things, which is incomparably wonderful. ”

"It is mentioned in the booklet that once you penetrate the Qimen Dunjia, you can thoroughly grasp the mysteries of heaven and earth, move mountains and reclaim the sea, and even ......"

"Go back in time!"

Li San's eyes showed a hint of yearning, but he knew in his heart that this was simply impossible. If you could go back in time, many things might not have happened.

Hua Jieyu and Nie Yuanba were also staring at each other, they only knew that there was such a thaumaturgy before, but today it was the first time they had heard it in such detail.

"Go back in time. ”

Hua Xie muttered, and her body seemed to shiver inadvertently.

"Uh-huh~"

Li San cleared his throat, simply sat on the stone steps, slowly touched the snowy blade of the Silver Moon Scimitar with one hand, and continued:

"Qimen Dunjia is all-encompassing, among which the most well-known is the way of the formation and the way of calculation, and the part handed down by my ancestors is part of the description of the formation, when it came to me, there was not even a formula, only a superficial understanding of the eight gates. ”

A deep regret flashed in Li San's eyes.

"The so-called eight gates, a total of three auspicious, three fierce and two neutral, each corresponding to eight directions, of which open, born, and rest are the three auspicious gates, if you can find these three portals in the formation, you can basically leave safely. ”

"And Du, Jing two doors are the door of Zhongping, so it is called Zhongping, because these two doors have neither big murder, but also no good luck, of which Du is the door of small evil, Jing is the door of small Ji, if the method is proper or lucky, you can also get out of danger safely. ”

"And the road we are taking now should be the door of death, and it is also the first of the three murderous gates, which can be described as the worst of the murders. ”

Hua Jieyu and Nie Yuanba immediately understood when they heard this, so it seems that it is no wonder that the three of them encountered various deadly mechanisms along the way.

"Alas, but I don't know how this thaumaturgy can be mastered by those Penglai people, could it be that the long-lost Qimen Dunjia technique in the Central Plains has already been lost to Penglai Immortal Island?"

Li San sighed, and then a thick murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Not necessarily, just looking at the stone walls and stairs here, I'm afraid there are at least hundreds of years old, and the material of this oil lamp is bronze, this material, I'm afraid it dates back to the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. ”

Hua Xie Yu pointed to the oil lamp on the side and continued:

"In other words, these Penglai people only discovered this place and used it by coincidence, and I guess they just stumbled into it by mistake, and even this door of death, they never entered. ”

Hua Xie Yu pointed to the stone steps next to Li San, which were covered with circles of moss.

Just now, a few people have been on the run all the way, but they didn't have time to notice this, but at this moment, after being reminded by Hua Jieyu, they immediately understood, and they couldn't help but let out a long sigh in their hearts.

"Now the question is, how do we get out?"

Li San immediately frowned when he heard this, and said:

"Death, shock, and injury are the three major murder gates, once entered, it will inevitably be the result of nine deaths and one life, or even ten deaths, unless you ......"

Li San paused when he said this, and then asked:

"Unless what?"

"Unless there is someone who knows the Qimen Dunjia or someone who sets up the formation, then there will be a glimmer of life. ”

When Li San said this, he saw Hua Jieyu and Nie Yuanba looking at him with burning eyes at the same time, and he was suddenly a little confused.

"You ...... this"

Then he reacted, shook his head again and again, and said:

"Don't count on me, I just know some basic principles, where do I know how to crack this array, and even if I know, without the formation diagram in hand, everything is just empty talk, take a wrong step, and there will be no return. ”

Nie Yuanba rarely patted Li San's shoulder and said four words.

"We believe in you. ”

Just these four words made Li San speechless.

Hua Xie Yu also showed a smile and nodded at Li San.

Indeed, if you want to say who has the best hope of leading everyone out of here at this time, it can only be Li San.

Li San smiled bitterly, stood up, swept away the previous depression, and instantly became serious.

"In that case, then I'll just let go of this old bone. ”

Then I saw his right hand move, and the silver moon in his palm turned into a burst of brilliance, and then the sound of clanging resounded endlessly, and the stone wall on one side suddenly splashed and fell to the ground one after another.

After Li San put away the knife, the two looked at the stone wall together, but saw that there was a nine-square grid pattern on the hard stone wall, the middle grid was empty, and the surrounding eight grids were each engraved with three lines of long and short horizontals, which seemed to be the gossip roulette wheel that often appeared in the hands of fortune tellers.

Li San stared at the pattern and pointed to the grid in the upper right corner and said:

"This is the nine-palace map, which is rumored to be derived from Luoshu, and the direction is north and south, left and right, so according to this map, we should be in this position now. ”

Li San pointed to the grid in the lower left corner and analyzed:

"The Gate of Death is located in the Kun hexagram in the eight trigrams, and the three yin of this hexagram are gathered, and the Gate of Death is also the land of extreme yin, located in the southwest, in the second house of the nine palaces. On the other hand, there is the land of the extreme sun, which is where the birth gate is located. ”

Although Hua Jieyu and Nie Yuanba didn't understand, they also nodded again and again, only feeling that his words seemed to be quite reasonable, and their confidence in walking out of here increased a little.

"The second house corresponds to the celestial stars in the sky, and if you can compare it with the celestial phenomena, you can also ...... It's a pity that this is underground, and you can't watch the celestial phenomena....... , alas, even if I can observe the celestial phenomena, I only recognize the Big Dipper. ”

Li San babbled in his mouth, but in the end, he sighed and continued to analyze.

"The position we are in now should be the end of the Death Gate, but for the formation, this is the starting position, that is to say, ......"

"This is also the closest position to the other seven gates, and any of our casual movements will step into the other gates. ”

Hua Jieyu was still looking around in the narrow stone staircase, trying to find some useful clues, but when he heard this, his body suddenly froze in place.

Seeing this, Li San hurriedly said:

"Childe, don't mess around, lest there be an accident. ”

Hua Jieyu had to freeze in place, not moving, not moving.

"You two, standing behind me next, must remember every step I take, and you can't make the slightest mistake. ”

Li San said to the two of them in a solemn tone.

The two nodded when they heard this, Hua Jieyu stood behind Li San, and Nie Yuanba stood at the back.

Li San walked straight to the center of the stone chamber and said slowly:

"This stone staircase twists and turns, but it is not vertical, so that our sense of direction here is completely confused, and now we have neither a magnet nor a reference here, so we have to take a dangerous move. ”

"Now, the three of us stand in a triangle, close our eyes at the same time, turn in circles, as for the number of turns, it cannot be higher than nine circles, nor lower than three circles, and after the turns, point out the direction you think is north. ”

The three of them stood still, then closed their eyes at the same time and spun in place.

Among them, Hua Xie Yu turned around three times and stretched out his hand to point in one direction.

Nie Yuanba turned six times and also pointed in one direction.

Li San turned the most, a full nine turns, and then pointed in a direction.

After the turn, Li San looked at it and immediately frowned.

The three of them were all pointing in the same direction.

It is said that you should be glad to see this situation, but not only Li San'er, but even Hua Jieyu and Nie Yuanba's brows furrowed.

In the direction of the three people's fingers, it was the stone wall with the word dead printed on it!

There is no road at all, how can you get out?

The three of them thought more that at least two people should point in the direction of the stone staircase, because at least there was a road over there anyway, and they could walk up.

"Perhaps, this is providence, and then, I'm going to go. ”

"Childe, Yuanba, you have to remember where I am now, and where I will go in every step of the next step, not a single bit!"

Li San looked at the stone wall engraved with the word dead, and his tone became a little heavier, and then he closed his eyes and did not look at everything in front of him.

Hua Jieyu and Nie Yuanba stared closely at his every move.

"The middle palace is connected in five places, and the door of death to the north is shocking.

The door of surprise is not to enter to the south, and the door of death to the scene must be to the east.

Jing Men was born in the ninth house, and after the ninth is the middle!"

"So the footwork we should take is, East Nine West Two, North Five South Nine, that is, nine steps on the right, two steps on the left, five steps in the front, and nine steps in the back. If I'm right, we should be in the middle of the palace. ”

Hua Jieyu and Nie Yuanba frowned when they heard this, and walked nine steps to the right? How is it possible, even if they walk foot to foot, they can only walk a dozen or so steps at most, if they take a step, how can they complete nine steps?

Moreover, Li San's current position is only three or four steps away from the stone wall in front of him, and it is even more impossible to walk five steps.

The only thing that is reliable is the nine steps back, without it, just because there is a stone staircase behind it.

"Bang!"

Li San took one step, but the two people who were highly concentrated were startled.

It turned out that Li San was worried that the two of them would make a mistake, so he deliberately increased his strength, stepped down, directly used his internal force, and suddenly made a footprint in the same place.

With this kick, the fast boots worn by Li San directly exploded into pieces!

It can be seen that the strength of this step.

It also shows the hardness of the ground here.

You know, it's not flat ground, it's jagged rocky ground!

"Bang!"

Li San stepped out with his second foot, and the fast boot exploded again.

Now he only has two bare feet, and under the indoctrination inside, he is several sizes larger than usual.

"Bang!"

Li San took another step, and immediately blood splattered, staining the ground red.

"Third Master!"

Hua Jieyu's eyes were red, and he clenched his teeth, staring at Li San's foothold.

"After today, if we are still alive, I will recognize you as my eldest brother!"

Nie Yuanba looked solemn, put down the spear in his hand, and then hugged his hands and shook Li San deeply.

This person is the Star Picking Holy Hand, Li Sanye.
