Chapter Seventy-Three: The Ancient Kingdom of Loulan
Ruyue has been in this enclosed space for two days, and she doesn't know how she got here. I only knew that I was searching this ruined town to see if there was any useful information. Just as she was searching in the big hall in the middle of the town, she was directly teleported here without knowing where she touched, and there was not much space to trap herself, but the strange thing was that this place turned out to be a swamp.
When she first came in, Ruyue was still very flustered, frantically slashing the space around her, trying to escape from here, but the magic is that although every time Ruyue attacks the space wall, it will cause the entire space wall to shock, but it has never split here, the whole space seems to be in a huge bubble, illusory and unreal, and most importantly, although this swamp is very real in terms of senses, but there is no life, and the whole place looks like a dead place.
And Yun Tian and Hui Gen outside searched the entire town and didn't find Ruyue, so they had to find out where this place was before making another plan. The two of them separately explored some useful information about this place, and Yun Tian carefully observed the surrounding architectural styles and some useful depictions, but the history is too long, and these buildings are very weathered, and some places will turn into broken soil when touched. I didn't find any useful information along the way, but I felt that the architectural style of this place was similar to an illustration I saw in a history book, but I couldn't recall it for a short time.
When he returned to the meeting point that he had agreed with Huigen, Huigen was already waiting for him there, and Yuntian walked over and shook his head at Huigen, indicating that he had not found any useful information. Hui Gen was happy to pull Yun Tian to a stone house he had just visited, the stone house was built on a very high trapezoidal platform, and walked up the stairs to the stone house, although it seemed to be very large, but in fact the space inside was very small, only a few stone pillars carved with sculptures and strange stones on the ground, and the other was a statue that had been weathered so that it could not be seen clearly. But looking at the overall shape and tall trapezoidal building, this place should be a temple in this town. Yun Tian, who walked into the temple, carefully studied the paintings and moments on the stone pillars, and then picked up a strange stone on the ground and looked at it carefully, the reason why this stone is strange is because this stone is dark all over, like chalcedony but not jade, and it is this strange stone that solves the mystery of this town.
When Yuntian was watching a TV program about the archaeological discoveries of the ancient country of the Wild North before, an old archaeological professor in it once took out such a stone to introduce, this kind of stone is called the Geocentric Stone, which is made of the solidification of lava underground. And the ancient kingdom of Loulan in the northern kingdoms used to use this kind of stone as a stone that could communicate with the gods and widely used it in their temples, so seeing this kind of stone, Yuntian judged that eighty percent of the people here may be a town in the ancient kingdom of Loulan.
And the architectural style that I thought was familiar with before was also seen in a book that introduced the countries of the Wild North, and in this book I briefly introduced the country of Loulan Ancient Kingdom. The ancient kingdom of Loulan was once an important transfer place for trade and people-to-people exchanges between China and the northwest countries, and it was also extremely prosperous, leaving a very important chapter in history.
But then the entire ancient kingdom of Loulan suddenly disappeared in history, and even the historical records were directly interrupted, and archaeologists finally had a speculation in the cultural relics and documents unearthed in the local area. That is, there was a sudden plague in the ancient country of Loulan, and all the people of Loulan could only leave their hometowns and flee all the way along the Peacock River, but it happened that they encountered a desert storm, and in this way, the prosperity of Loulan was like a big dream, and it disappeared in this vast desert.
After learning where this place was, Yuntian was a little more relaxed, the ancient country of Loulan was not big, and several places had been developed into tourist attractions. This shows that as long as they can get out of trouble here, they can find traces of human activities and return to the human world.
If one problem is solved, then naturally another problem needs to be solved by two people, that is, to rescue Ruyue. What the two of them urgently need to do now is to find the place where Ruyue disappeared, and find out what can make Ruyue disappear, and then they can find a way to rescue Ruyue.
The two of them released their divine consciousness in this town and kept perceiving the fluctuations of the spiritual power of Ruyue's activities, and finally found the last signs of Ruyue's activities in the main hall in the center of the town, the two of them rushed to the main hall and carefully probed the surrounding situation. All the way to the place where Ruyue disappeared without danger, the two carefully searched the surroundings, and there was nothing strange about it. Just when the two of them were puzzled, the divine consciousness of the two suddenly sensed a strange spiritual power fluctuation nearby, and this discovery directly made the two of them let go of their divine sense and perceive it carefully.
This spiritual power fluctuation only existed for a short time and disappeared, but this was enough, Huigen and Yuntian were ecstatic, and they did not hesitate, and directly sat in this hall and let go of their divine sense to carefully explore something. Sure enough, a day later, a strange fluctuation spread out somewhere in the main hall, and when the fluctuation occurred, Yun Tian directly sucked a stone in the air and threw it towards the fluctuating place, and as expected, the stone suddenly disappeared in the air when it touched the fluctuation point.
So it sees, Ruyue should have been sucked into somewhere by this spiritual power fluctuation, and she couldn't get out of trouble for the time being. If you figure out how Ruyue disappeared, it will be easy to do, you only need to make sure that Ruyue disappeared at that spiritual power fluctuation point to solve it in a targeted manner. Because the spiritual power fluctuation point just now was not the same as the previous one, Yun Tian and the others felt that this hall should never have only two spiritual power fluctuation points.
In the following days, the two of them have been guarding this hall, sensing the fluctuations of spiritual power in the hall, so that they can find a certain pattern. Finally, after another spiritual power fluctuation point coincided with the previous spiritual power fluctuation point, the two of them knew the secret here. There are a total of eight spiritual power fluctuations in the main hall, occupying eight directions of the main hall, and the cycle of eight days is repeated. Then the two of them deduced the spiritual power fluctuation they found on the first day to the day when Ruyue disappeared according to the law, and determined the direction of the spiritual power fluctuation in the hall on the day Ruyue disappeared.
In the southeast direction, after some deduction, the two of them determined the spiritual power fluctuation point when Ruyue disappeared on the same day. The rest of the things are easy to do, you just need to rescue Ruyue when this spiritual power fluctuation point fluctuates again. The two of them waited here for the outbreak of this spiritual power fluctuation, and finally three days later, the spiritual power fluctuation here broke out again. And Yun Tian and Hui Gen, who were guarding the side, also opened their eyes, and slashed at the fluctuation point here with the spirit sword in both hands, and as the turbulence of the fluctuation point here was disturbed and destroyed by the spiritual power of the two, Ruyue inside finally felt the changes in the space wall, opened the eyes of cultivation, and slashed at the space wall fiercely with the spirit sword in hand, catering to the attack of Hui Gen and Yun Tian outside.
Finally, with the cooperation of the inside and outside, under the joint attack of the three of them, Ruyue's figure appeared in the air, staggered, and fell out of the space. The three of them who gathered again were all overjoyed, but after the joy, Yuntian and Huigen were still curious about the space Ruyue entered, and Ruyue also explained to the two that the space she was in was a swamp.
"Swampland" Yuntian and Huigen were both surprised after listening to Ruyue's explanation.
"That's right, it's a swamp, but it should be a spiritual conjure, and there is no vitality at all. ”
"Is there anything else?"
"No, it's just a small space! What is this for, you ask?"
"I have a guess in my heart now, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" Yun Tian was silent for a moment and said:
"The three of us, what else should not be said, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"
"There should be a small Bagua Array arranged in this hall, if the guess is correct, the eight directions of this small Bagua Array are 'Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui', corresponding to 'Heaven, Earth, Thunder, Wind, Water, Fire, Mountain, Ze'. Ruyue should have strayed into the land of Duze, so it was a swamp. ”
"And this kind of formation, I didn't expect that Yuntian Daoyou also knows a lot about formations!"
"It's false, it's just that I was quite interested in this gossip yin and yang when I was a mortal, and I studied it for a few days, but I didn't expect to be able to use it today. ”
The three of them chatted a few words again, and Ruyue also knew that this place was the famous land of Loulan Ancient Kingdom, and it was also amazing. But the most important thing now is to escape from here and return to the human world, the Holy Land Heavenly Palace is still half a year away from opening, and after the three of them go back, it will be almost the same, if you miss the opening of the Holy Land Heavenly Palace, and wait until the next time, it will be thirty years later.
It's just that the three of them all know that there is a huge Five Elements Bagua Array here, so if you want to unlock the formation, you have to look at Yun Tian, after all, the small Bagua Array in the main hall is unlocked by Yun Tian. Yun Tian looked at the two of them looking at him, and also smiled bitterly, the small gossip array is mostly simple and clear, but this large five-element gossip array arranged with the whole town as the bureau is not something that can be easily figured out, there are only eight kinds of small gossip array hexagrams, but there are three hundred and twenty kinds of large five-element gossip array hexagrams. All kinds of hexagrams are confusing, but there is only one way to live.
"I've only known about it before, but I'm not proficient in it, so I can only say that I'll give it a try. ”
"Is it difficult? I don't think you have to put much effort into cracking that small gossip array?"
"It's different, the small Bagua Array only bears yin and yang. But the big Five Elements Bagua Array, the appearance of the Five Elements, the division of the Eight Diagrams, is unpredictable, and the Five Elements Bagua Array in this town has not been activated, if it is activated, I think we should have a toss!"
