Chapter 7, Section 3 Snow Jade Divine Mansion

The further he walked in, the heavier the fog became, and Xiao Fei even felt a little cold dew on the branches and leaves of the trees around him. The "Five Elements Trapped Spirit Array" was nothing to Xiao Fei, and the maze hidden in the formation would not cause any trouble to his advance. At this time, Xiao Fei was like a tourist who had strayed into a good place, enjoying the scenery along the road leisurely.

But, at this time, the night came quickly. Before Xiao Fei could find food to feed his stomach, he was almost out of sight. However, to Xiao Fei's surprise, in this forest, there were no animals, whether it was hares, roe deer, or large tigers and leopards, he did not find any traces. Otherwise, Xiao Fei would not be hungry by now. What's more worth mentioning is that the further he went, Xiao Fei found more formations, and these formations were becoming more and more advanced and complex, and almost all of them did not appear alone, one formation after another, a formation within a formation, and a hidden formation in the formation. In a word, the people who set up the formation can really be described as scheming.

However, what surprised Xiao Fei even more was that there were some mechanisms in this wood, not to mention whether these mechanisms were powerful or not, there were also mechanisms in this place where the formation was heavy, which in itself was a kind of repetition and waste.

Obviously, these traps are not for catching beasts, as there are no signs of animals around. If it is said to be to defend against people, then it is even more unnecessary, with these formations, it is enough.

For Xiao Fei, the formation is easy to say, because he has studied all kinds of formations very thoroughly, and in this dense woods of formations, Xiao Fei is like a leisurely stroll. But for these large and small, nondescript traps and traps, Xiao Fei really struggled with his brain. Of course, Xiao Fei is also involved in mechanical techniques. But these traps are just children's stuff. Dig a small pit at random, there is some water in it, and some grass is covered with it, this is the trap that Xiao Fei saw before. At the beginning, Xiao Fei carefully opened the grass, cautiously used small branches to take a tentative look, and even felt out the fire fold to see if the water was poisonous.

Later, the level of traps has grown, but it doesn't look like someone is doing them or anything. It's just casual play, as if it's just passing the time, and some are even half-finished products. However, Xiao Fei also found a few more successful and powerful traps, but he can be sure that these traps and traps are definitely not from the previous ones.

If it weren't for the unbearable hunger in his stomach and the fact that it was getting darker and darker, Xiao Fei would have been interested in dismantling these traps to pass the time. But it had been more than three hours since he had been in the woods, and here he had heard not a single sound, nor seen any animal or human shadow. Xiao Fei's heart had begun to get tired, and the boredom and silence here began to torture his patience, and Xiao Fei, who was becoming more and more impatient, even almost fell into a trap a few times.

Xiao Fei raised his hand to brush away the branches and leaves in front of him, and inadvertently looked up, there seemed to be a large shadow in front of him, although it was very blurry, but it was still deeper than the other parts in the night. Is it a small hill, a dirt mountain, or a boulder? But no matter how many guesses there are in his mind, the answer Xiao Fei hopes for the most is the building. Because as long as there are buildings, there are people. As long as there are people, friend or foe, there is always some fun, and it is much better than in the silence of the woods.

He quietly approached, although he still couldn't see clearly, but Xiao Fei was almost certain that this was a large building, maybe a mansion, a garden, or even a small palace. Gradually, Xiao Fei could already vaguely see the shape of the cornices in the corners. As the building approached at night, the surrounding trees seemed to be sparse, and it seemed that this was the center of the whole array.

"Click", Xiao Fei didn't know what he kicked under his feet, but Xiao Fei immediately sensed that he had touched some kind of mechanism, he quickly jumped to the side, and sure enough, before he landed, he heard a "tuk-tuk" sound, and the place where he was standing was already full of long arrows, and around the place where the arrows fell, there were several big black holes. Seeing this, Xiao Fei couldn't help but secretly exclaim lucky, fortunately he jumped far, otherwise even if he dodged the hidden arrow, he would have fallen into the trap.

It seems that some powerful traps have been arranged around this unknown building, even Xiao Fei did not dare to venture in, he carefully retreated into the woods, and said in his heart, it is better to wait for dawn to talk.

Although the water vapor in the forest was heavier, Xiao Fei still found a relatively dry place to sit down, took out a few qi-invigorating pills from his arms and swallowed them, and sacrificed the five visceral temples that were constantly resisting.

Xiao Fei inadvertently raised his head, and saw a crescent moon appear in the center of the sky. It seems that there is not much fog left here and now. I don't know if it's because of the late night, or because it's close to the building, but there is no fog anyway. It's just that I didn't find it because I was in the woods and couldn't see the sky overhead. I just don't know if there will be such a rare fog after dawn. Thinking about it, Xiao Fei fell asleep in a daze.

In the early morning, Xiao Fei was awakened by a dense sound of bird calls in a daze, and before he could fully open his eyes, Xiao Fei understood: Where did the bird come from? Xiao Fei opened his eyes violently and looked for the birds that made this crisp chirping everywhere. As soon as he opened his eyes, a dazzling ray of sunlight hit the bottom of his eyes, and Xiao Fei suddenly felt dizzy.

A little sober, Xiao Fei carefully observed the environment he was in. The trees here are already sparse and even out of formation. Therefore, there is no fog here, and a few unknown birds have stopped in the trees near here, peeking at the eaves.

Xiao Fei turned his gaze to the mysterious building not far away. This is a large mansion, and Xiao Fei's location should be on its side, because the façade and eaves of the front cannot be seen at all. At this time, Xiao Fei's stomach screamed again, it seems that no matter what the panacea is, it is always impossible to skip meals.

Since there is a courtyard, and there are many formations around the courtyard, this should be able to show that there are people living in this courtyard! Since there are people, there must be something to eat! Although Xiao Fei thought so, he did not rashly climb over the wall, because the lesson of last night was laid out there---- and there was a cluster of arrows not far away, and the traps around the arrows were long gone. This is already the case outside the wall, and inside the wall, I don't know if there is any more powerful mechanism waiting for me.

Danger is danger, but food always has to be eaten, and food is always to be found. Xiao Fei looked at the root of the wall from a distance and searched along the edge of the woods. It must be said that this mansion is very large, Xiao Fei walked for three quarters of an hour to be able to see the towering gatehouse from a distance, and Xiao Fei estimated that he was less than one-third of the circumference, which was already much larger than his Hangzhou Xiao Mansion. At this time, he was even more anxious to wonder who had such a big hand to build a mansion of such scale here, and there were traps and formations in the surrounding woods.

Going around to the front of this mansion, Xiao Fei finally saw the true face of this mysterious mansion clearly: the gate is two feet high, the mahogany gate, each with one hundred and eight thick brass door nails, three pairs of six-foot-high stone lions in front of the door, and the plaque on the door clearly reads -----Snow Jade Divine Mansion." The plaque is written with the dragon flying and phoenix dancing, vigorous and powerful, and the pen is strong, but in Xiao Fei's opinion, the person with this inscription, or the owner here, is inevitably a little arrogant, and dares to call himself "Shenfu".

To Xiao Fei's surprise, there were no guards in front of such a gate. And the front of the door is indeed cleaned and spotless. Such a mansion, its owner must be very wealthy, just like Hangzhou Xiao Mansion, there are four intimate guests in front of the door! But in front of the door of this Snow Jade Divine Mansion, there is not even a single figure, compared to such a magnificent courtyard, people can't help but feel extremely lonely.

Xiao Fei was really hungry, so he was going to knock on the door to visit. But he lived in front of the first pair of stone lions in front of him. His intuition told him that the stone lion in front of him was very dangerous. Xiao Fei took a closer look, and these three pairs of stone lions were faintly showing the direction of Liuhe, which was obviously also a formation. Moreover, the heads of these stone lions are twisted in one direction, and they are not facing each other or facing forward, as is often the case, but almost every one of them faces the back of the head. According to Xiao Fei's research in the formation technique, these stone lions should be able to rotate and slide, and the lion's mouth and eyes should be where the mechanism is located, and it is certain that they are very powerful mechanisms, which Xiao Fei has never seen.

Xiao Fei suddenly patted his head and said that he had never seen it, but how could these things seem to have appeared in his mind? Yes, thinking about it like this, he really felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while, after all, in the eight years he had been in Jiangnan, he had read a lot of books, and there were no less than 100 formation books alone. These six lions formation is really familiar.

In order to verify his idea, Xiao Fei went around, went to the left of the pair of stone lions in the middle, stretched out his hand, held the stone bell under the stone lion's neck, and twisted it vigorously. Just listening to the sound of "click", all the stone lions were already facing forward.
