Chapter 248: Mental War (3)
In the Sword Shrine Secret Realm Passage, Cheng Ling looked at the three passages in front of him and couldn't make up his mind for a while. The deduction of the formation has no effect, and only by figuring out the psychology of the person who sets up the mechanism can we confirm the direction of the forward.
Everyone stood quietly aside, not daring to disturb him, just waiting for his decision.
Cheng Ling thought about it, and vaguely felt that that person acted specifically for the flaws in people's hearts, and played cards completely out of common sense, when you think there is no danger, I just give you a moment, you think it is dangerous, but you can easily get through.
As soon as he thought of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said to Jian Yinghao: "Brother Sword, I remember speculating before that the direction we entered the Sword Shrine was wrong, and we should have entered through the back door, right?"
Jian Yinghao replied, "Yes, this is what you told me, what's wrong?"
"No! I firmly believe that. Think about it, what kind of sect will put the tombs of their ancestors in the front instead of the back?"
"That's impossible, no sect would do that. ”
"That's right, then, if it's an accidental break-in, what will you do?"
Jian Yinghao was confused, he didn't understand what Cheng Ling meant for a while, and his face was blank.
Cheng Ling said again: "Don't think too complicated, for example, if an outsider breaks into the Famous Sword Academy, how should the academy deal with it?"
Jian Yinghao said in a daze: "That is naturally to stop it with all its might, how can outsiders easily enter." ”
"That's right!" Cheng Ling slapped his face and said excitedly.
Everyone heard it in a fog, and they really didn't understand what he meant.
Wu Chenlong couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what's right, what does it mean? Which channel should we choose?"
Cheng Ling pointed with his hand and said, "Let's choose the middle channel!"
"Why?" asked Liu Qingyan.
"As Brother Jian said, if it is an accidental introduction, it must be stopped, and outsiders cannot be allowed to enter easily. According to this meaning, we are actually accidental intruders, so according to common sense, there should be corresponding difficulties to stop it. ”
"But if you think about it, the person who set up this mechanism is a person who doesn't play cards according to common sense. Therefore, I think that he will not obviously put up an obstacle at the entrance of the passage, but will let us pass through easily, until the last moment, and give us an unexpected obstacle. ”
"And don't forget. According to common sense, we walk in the opposite direction to the normal direction. If you are walking from the front in the direction of the tomb, this passage mechanism will not appear, and these obstacles will naturally not appear. ”
When they heard this, their brows furrowed, and their heads seemed to be stuffed into a large stone, and they didn't understand at all. felt that what Cheng Ling said was wrong, and he couldn't find a reason to refute it. It's going back and forth like this, and I have a headache when I think about it.
Cheng Ling's eyes swept over, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, saying so much, they almost didn't understand it. The people who set up the organs are really fucked up, and getting into the predicament in front of them is completely rebellious. However, the speculation in the center could not come up with tangible evidence, so he was one head and two big.
At this time, a cold voice said: "This method can be understood, just like swordsmanship, a swordsmanship is used conventionally, and the power may be very ordinary, but if it is used in reverse, it may become a killing move, which will catch people off guard." ”
Everyone was stunned, and looked at the source of the voice, and it was Gu Youlan who spoke. I didn't expect her to express her opinion, but I still couldn't understand it for a while.
Gu Youlan explained: "You still remember to enter the famous sword
At that time, the assessment was to comprehend a sword move, and if it was a conventional comprehension, it was just a very ordinary sword move, and if it was used in reverse, it would become a powerful killing move!"
Cheng Ling's eyes lit up, and she said with great joy: "It is this truth, conventional routines can't be used, so let's do the opposite." Of the three passages, both of which have obvious obstacles, only the middle one is not blocked by the sword elves, and I believe that is the right path. ”
Only then did everyone react and looked at the two of them in surprise.
Jian Yinghao Fox asked, "Brother Cheng, are you really sure that there is no problem with the middle passage?"
Cheng Ling said: "I'm sure, at least there is no problem when you enter, unless you get to the exit, a new obstacle will be formed!"
"Alright, do as you say, let's go into the middle passage. ”
Cheng Ling breathed a sigh of relief, he finally had supporters, he glanced at Gu Youlan, at the critical moment, this girl's brain power is good, and she can keep up with her pace.
Gu Youlan saw him looking at herself with a smile, her heart was beating rapidly, her face was red, and she turned around, not daring to look at him again.
After getting Jian Yinghao, Cheng Ling set her eyes on Liu Qingyan, and among the team, only her and Jian Yinghao's opinions were the most important.
Liu Qingyan groaned a little, and also agreed with Cheng Ling's idea, anyway, it was very difficult for the other two passages to enter.
At this time, the opinions in the team were unified, and the confidence was doubled. Cheng Ling went into the middle passage first, and everyone followed one by one, and there was no suspicion.
The team still advanced according to the original formation, Cheng Ling took the lead to open the way, and Liu Qingyan and Jian Yinghao were on guard behind. After walking in for a quarter of an hour and advancing for more than ten miles, I didn't see any accidents.
Cheng Ling was happy in his heart, which showed that his speculation was correct, and the person who set up the organ had already figured out eighty percent in his heart. He gradually began to increase the speed of moving forward, although it is said that he has mastered eighty percent, he can play with a dead man, it is too tiring, it is better to get out as soon as possible.
After walking forward for another half hour, the eyes suddenly opened up, and everyone came to a circular hall. In the middle of the hall was a stone platform, which was covered with dust, and the entire outline was almost covered, and even the carvings on it were blurred.
There is a round bead on the stone platform, and dust has fallen from the bead, which hides its brilliance. Behind the stone platform, just opposite the passage, there is a stone gate more than three zhang high, which looks simple, heavy, and full of a sense of history.
Cheng Ling stopped, staring at the stone platform in the middle, and fell into deep thought. I couldn't understand what this round bead was.
Jian Yinghao and Liu Qingyan were at the back of the line, and they were the last to come to the stone platform. Liu Qingyan glanced at the beads on the stone platform, and said in surprise: "Raising the Divine Bead!"
Cheng Ling was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Shi knows what this bead is?"
Liu Qingyan said: "It's called the Divine Cultivation Bead, and I once saw it in the tomb of an ancient monk. According to my master, this spiritual bead is extremely rare, and it is a treasure that contains the soul of the gods, and is often used as a carrier for storing the soul by monks who have lost their physical bodies. ”
"Look at the condition of this bead, and the dust on the stone platform, no one has been to this place for at least tens of thousands of years, and I don't know if there are any parasitic souls in the beads. ”
Cheng Ling said: "It's simple, as long as you dispel these dusts and let the beads show their true appearance, you will naturally know." However, this place is very close to the exit, so you have to guard against it, everyone should be on guard!"
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly dispersed and surrounded the stone platform.
Cheng Ling glanced at it and asked them to keep their distance from the stone platform, and he did
Taking two steps forward, with a wave of his long sleeves, the dust on the stone platform and beads disappeared instantly, revealing his true appearance. He was secretly vigilant, holding the Pure Yuan Sword, ready for emergencies at any time.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.
"Isn't there a parasitic soul in this Divine Cultivation Bead?" Cheng Ling said in surprise.
"Wait a minute, maybe it's too long, the soul in it is exhausted, I'll input the spiritual power to see!" Liu Qingyan said. After speaking, she pointed a little with her index finger, and a spiritual power was injected into the Spiritual Cultivation Bead.
After a while, an old voice came out: "Alas~! How many thousands of years, I have finally been waiting for it!"
Immediately afterwards, an illusory figure appeared on the Cultivation Bead, and the figure was only half of its body, above its chest. An old man with a clear face came out, he glanced at everyone, noticed that Liu Qingyan was sending spiritual power to the Divine Cultivation Bead, and said slowly: "Little girl, are they brought here by you?" Thank you, as long as a trace of spiritual power can be triggered, there is no need to convey it anymore." ”
An indescribable feeling appeared in Liu Qingyan's heart, how many years, no one has ever called her that, but looking at the age of the old man, it is obviously millions of years old, and it is not an exaggeration to call her so.
She put away her spiritual power and said, "Seniors, juniors don't have that ability, all the way, it was my master and nephew who led me to come here." After speaking, he glanced at Cheng Ling.
The old man was stunned, turned his eyes to look at Cheng Ling, and asked, "Xiaoyou, what she said is the truth." ”
Cheng Ling took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I brought them here." ”
"Oh, how did you get here?"
"Seniors, juniors want to ask first, whether the mechanism along the way is set up by you. ”
"Yes, to be able to get here, it seems that you have indeed seen through the old man's intentions, tell me, how do you know that you chose the middle passage?"
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly and said: "Senior, in fact, at the beginning, I also fell in love with your path, and I was injured at the first level, and then after the cobwebs, the difference between the three passages, and the direction of entry, I guessed that the middle passage is the right path." ”
The old man bowed slightly, and said: "Yes, if you can see through the mystery of the three passages and choose the middle passage, it seems that you have fully comprehended the old man's intentions." ”
"Don't dare, it's just luck. ”
"The young man is humble and very nice. Along the way, the old man did the opposite everywhere, just to tell you that no matter how powerful your cultivation is, how exquisite your swordsmanship is, and how indomitable and delicate your heart is the foundation. No matter how strong your own strength is, in the face of conspiracy and trickery, there will always be a time when you make mistakes!"
Cheng Ling bowed slightly and said, "Thank you seniors for your advice, can you tell me what kind of place this is, and why do your predecessors have such an idea and such a setting?"
The old man sighed, memories flashed in his eyes, and after a long time, he glanced at Cheng Ling again, and his eyes stayed for a moment on the Chunyuan Sword in his hand before he said: "You can lead them here, and prove that your mind and wisdom have been recognized by me, Xiaoyou, are you practicing swords?"
"Yes, I like swordsmanship very much, and so far, only swordsmanship is the best at it!"
"Okay, good! Now, show you your swordsmanship, remember, it must be your strongest swordsmanship, it's important, would you like to?"
Cheng Ling was stunned, the strongest swordsmanship? According to what he learned, the strongest swordsmanship must be the flying sword technique passed down by the Golden Pages. But at present, I haven't even succeeded in condensing the sword species, so how can I use it?
