Adventures in the Human World Chapter 13 The Corridor
Zhou Xiang took the magic weapon and took a look, and found that it was a disc-like thing, like jade but not jade, like gold and not gold, I don't know what material it is made of. The Zhao brothers also took out similar things and put them on their bodies, according to Zhao Siguang, this thing will not receive any information when it is placed in the storage bag, it must be placed outside, Zhou Xiang tried it, and engraved a few words with spiritual power, and the same handwriting appeared on the Zhao brothers' disc.
Then the three of them parted, and the Zhao brothers tried to find a way out of the corridor to find a way out, and Zhou Xiang cleaned up and continued along the corridor. After walking for a while, an entrance finally appeared on the side of the corridor, where there were still formation guards, Zhou Xiang walked in as if nothing was there, and found that it was a hall inside.
The whole hall is still paved with bluestone, the intricate prohibition is depicted on it, the more complicated it is in the direction of the center, a tall stone pillar stands in the center of the hall, the column body is carved with prohibitions, Zhou Xiang looked up along the stone pillar, his gaze froze again, there was a person hanging on the top of the stone pillar! The situation is very similar to that in the corridor just now, except that although this person has been dead for a long time, his body is still not rotten, and even exudes a coercion.
Obviously, this person was definitely an extremely powerful existence in his lifetime, and he was even a god-transforming monk. But for some reason, it was actually hung here. Zhou Xiang turned around the stone pillar and looked at it again, and this time he clearly saw a slender piece of something inserted into the waist and back of the corpse, and it was because of the existence of these two things that the corpse was still hanging high on the pillar even though it had been dead for many years. The feeling of uneasiness in Zhou Xiang's heart became stronger and stronger. After looking around again, he left the hall and returned to the hallway.
Then he walked along the corridor again, and after a similar distance to the previous one, Zhou Xiang found another entrance, and after entering, there was also a hall, still complicated prohibitions and tall stone pillars, on which a corpse still hung on it. The difference is that this corpse is obviously a female nun, although she has been dead for many years, you can still vaguely see the demeanor of this woman back then. The back of the corpse's waist and brain were also inserted into two pieces.
Walking out of the hall and into the corridor, Zhou Xiang looked for it again.
Counting the first hall, after encountering eight similar halls in a row, Zhou Xiang finally came to the ninth hall, different from the other halls, the prohibition on the formation and stone pillar here is actually emitting a continuous light, and the light is transmitted along the stone pillar to the top of the hall, along a line in a certain direction, according to Zhou Xiang's judgment, it is the center of the entire complex.
There was still a man hanging on the stone pillar in the hall, but he was still alive! Bursts of light were pulling something from his body, and this person's face was not as old as that of the caravan monks, and his age was still middle-aged. Judging by his pained facial expression, the man was still conscious, his brow furrowed, his eyes closed, as if he was struggling with something. A huge amount of pure spiritual power continued to emanate from its body, but the surrounding prohibition would collect it again in a short period of time and return it to its body through those two things.
This situation made Zhou Xiang somewhat understand, it turned out that the role of the prohibition, formation and stone pillar was like this. In the case that he could not judge whether the person on the stone pillar was friend or foe, Zhou Xiang did not make a rash move. He quietly exited the hall and continued down the cloister, where he was soon met by another open door, which was destroyed. Zhou Xiang paused for a moment, and then suddenly realized that this was the starting point for him to step into the corridor, and the corridor not far away was inlaid with the corpses of the caravan members. In the distance, the figures of Zhao Siguang and Zhao Ciyu were missing, it is estimated that they left from the destroyed gate, Zhou Xiang looked out through the gate, and did not see any figures, but the formation was still there. He couldn't help but wonder a little, could it be that the Zhao brothers had found other exits?
However, he quickly put this matter behind him, and then looked at the corridor in front of him and thought about it, he obviously followed the corridor around the complex, and there were halls in the corridor every other distance, as many as nine, which was the building that he saw outside that resembled the arrangement of nine palaces. These nine buildings surround a central pavilion, and the only person alive in the hall just now is also sending a steady stream of vitality to the center, which shows that there is an amazing secret there, and even the owner of this space is there.
Judging from the layout of the building here, this person is definitely the strongest of the strong, but Zhou Xiang has no bottom in his heart about how powerful he is. However, this person has gone to great lengths to arrange such a grand building complex and formation prohibition here, it is definitely not untargeted. Combined with what he had seen and heard just now, Zhou Xiang guessed that the other party's purpose should be to plunder the vitality, and even from the perspective of the formation starting to plunder the vitality of mortals and the location is so remote, the person behind it seems to be very afraid of being discovered by others! The biggest reason is that it is very likely that he is now in a very weak stage, and even on the verge of death, and his vitality is about to run out. Otherwise, if he came in for so long and violently destroyed part of the layout here, the other party would never stand idly by, and would definitely stop it.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiang gradually developed confidence, the master of this place is so insidious, the means are so cruel, he must not let it go, it is best to destroy it. But how do you get to the center?
Judging by the arrangement of the cloister, the passage to the center is non-existent or hidden. It seems that the only way to get there is to fly in or violently punch the entrance through the cloister or hall. Thinking of this, Zhou Xiang was about to fly when he ran the sword technique, but he soon found that the sword technique could not be used here. As soon as the sword was taken out, it was suppressed to the ground before it could fly. Obviously, there is a strong prohibition and coercion here, and ordinary monks cannot fly. Even though the Formation Breaking Jade can help you not be affected by the prohibition of the formation, it only acts on the body, and the external sword technique cannot be used.
Zhou Xiang shook his head helplessly, he put away the Shocking Sword, and began to observe carefully along the corridor, and finally found something after walking around again, because there were several places in the corridor that were very special, very different from the prohibition depictions in other places, and these places were just evenly distributed in the middle of the two adjacent halls.
Zhou Xiang guessed that there must be something strange in these places, so he slowly touched the side of the gallery with his right hand, and there was a thin layer of something similar to paper at the tentacle, which was easily pierced after a little spiritual power, and then his right hand automatically held up a light curtain. Sure enough, there was something weird! Zhou Xiang continued to open the gap, and finally stepped in. He found that there was a stone wall inside, and pushed hard in the middle, but the stone wall did not move. Zhou Xiang's heart sank, and he turned to the side of the stone wall, but this time there was movement, and the stone wall rotated around a shaft in the middle, revealing a path. The direction is the central part of the complex. Zhou Xiang was overjoyed, and after careful investigation and no abnormalities were found, he stepped in.
There were almost no mechanism formations and prohibitions on this journey, so Zhou Xiang walked very easily. You can see the pavilion in the middle all the way forward, and it looks very magnificent under the reflection of a little light. The gate of the pavilion facing the road where Zhou Xiang is located is about three feet high, and it is depicted with beautiful and intricate patterns, flashing as if it is breathing. In the upper part of the pavilion, there are nine lines that extend to the nine buildings on the periphery, eight of which have dimmed, and only one of them is slowly moving, sending the light to the center.
Looking up again, there was a high pavilion spire, and when he saw there, Zhou Xiang was taken aback again, and his footsteps stopped, and there was really something on it. It wasn't really visible from a distance, but now it was clearly visible, a sculpture-like monster, snow-white, the same color as the central pavilion, and from a distance it seemed that the two were one and the same. But in the near distance, you can clearly see the appearance of the sculpture, it is clearly a snow lion! Maybe it is nothing, but the spire of the pavilion is also clearly carved in formation, as if it is stimulating something inside the snow lion, and bursts of coercion ripple out from its inside, scattering in all directions.
Due to the great coercion, the moment he was stimulated, there was even a spatial distortion around the snow lion, and Zhou Xiang further discovered that the coercion here was exactly the same as the coercion he felt outside the ninth-level demon beast territory, and it should be said that this coercion was the coercion of the other. When he was chatting with Zhao Civic at the beginning, Zhou Xiang knew that the ninth-level demon beast here was a snow lion, but no one had seen its true body for hundreds of years, and only when he passed by its area could he feel its mountain-like coercion. And now standing above Zhou Xiang, the sculpture on the top of the central pavilion is a snow lion, is it really a snow lion cave house?
