Meng Ran and Geng Huyuan followed behind Zhou Xing and slowly paced into Wuyuan.

The ancient trees in the Wu Garden are shady, and the sunlight falls on the bluestone paved ground through the lush branches, forming large and small circles of light, which looks cold and a little long-term.

After really entering the Wu Garden, I found that the vastness of the Wu Garden is beyond the imagination of outsiders, there are countless pavilions and terraces, but they have become mottled and old in the erosion of wind and rain, which makes people feel the vicissitudes of time.

Geng Huyuan looked at the scenery in the Wu Garden, and said with a smile: "It's really worth the trip, I'll take a look here, you can take Meng Ran with you." ”

Zhou Xing said respectfully: "Please Mr. be here later, I will come to accompany you after sending Meng Gongzi, and take you to see the scenery here at that time." ”

After saying this, Zhou Xing gave a fist salute to Geng Huyuan, and then stretched out his hand to signal Meng Ran to keep up with him.

Walking through the front yard of Wu Garden, Zhou Xing stopped in front of an unusual courtyard.

The gate of the courtyard is made of overseas precious wood, there are two bronze beast knockers on the door, the beast is fanged, angry eyes, very majestic, and there are also 36 iron door nails, but the arrangement of the door nails is very strange, not as neat and square as the ordinary tall door.

Zhou Xing said slowly: "Meng Gongzi, this is the inner courtyard of my Jijia Wuyuan, you can enter the enlightenment by yourself, if you are trapped and can't get out, you can go back to the place and push the door out." But remember to remember one thing, don't mobilize the true qi in your body in vain, otherwise, you will be eaten by the formation. ”

Meng Ran saluted Zhou Xing and said with a smile: "Thank you for reminding me, please go and get busy." ”

Zhou Xing returned the salute and turned to leave.

When Meng Ran was the only one in front of the inner courtyard of Ji Jiawu Garden, he looked at the closed gate again and again, but he couldn't see anything different.

After looking at it for a long time, Meng Ran took a deep breath and pushed the extremely valuable door open.

Inside the door is a faint mist, faintly visible in the courtyard there are rockery pavilions and ancient trees, secretly in the five elements of gossip.

Meng Ran walked out and walked between the rockery and the ancient trees.

But after walking for a long time, it was still spinning in place, and the familiar ancient tree looked at and looked, and the exact traces were seen and seen.

Meng Ran sighed, remembered Zhou Xing's explanation, and slowly retreated in the direction of the gate.

When Meng Ran stood inside the door, what caught his eye was still the faint mist, which shrouded everything in the garden, making it difficult to see.

Meng Ran smiled bitterly, planning not to follow Zhou Xing's advice, wanting to take a risk.

As soon as he mobilized the true qi in his body, a soft and sharp aura instantly surrounded his body, wisps of blood flowed out of his seven orifices, and in just an instant, Meng Ran was seriously injured, if it weren't for the fact that he was not in the formation at this moment, I was afraid that he would have died too much to die anymore.

Meng then took a few steps back, leaning his back against the door made of precious wood from overseas, his face pale and unpleasant, looking at the faint mist with palpitations.

He just wanted to take a risk, but he never thought that just this one blow would almost kill him.

Meng Ran was silent for a moment and then left the inner courtyard of Wuyuan and returned to the outside of the gate, carefully looking at the bronze beast knocker and iron doornails on the gate, until his eyes were sour, and he couldn't see anything.

He paced slowly around the high wall of the inner courtyard of the garden, and saw the exposed eaves and the dense withered vines covering the surface of the wall.

"I have to try again, I can't just give up, otherwise, I'm afraid that I will leave a trace of regret in my heart. ”

Meng Ran muttered to himself, slowly returned to the door of the inner courtyard of Wuyuan, sat cross-legged on the bluestone floor, and quietly looked at the gate.

When his eyes were tired and blurred, he suddenly noticed that the iron nails on the door were arranged like a crooked path.

A road?

He immediately rubbed his eyes and looked at the crooked path.

Meng Ran was silent for a moment before standing up, pushing open the door again, and slowly walked into the inner courtyard.

He stepped into the mist, took seven steps forward, then three steps back, four steps to the left, two steps to the right, and then five steps straight.

After Meng Ran stood still, there was no fog in front of him, and what appeared in front of him was a fairly tall rockery, and there was a pavilion on top of the rockery.

He climbed the stairs and slowly came to the pavilion.

On the stone table in the pavilion is a chessboard with black and white chess pieces on it, but the distribution of the two-color chess pieces is quite strange.

There are more blacks and fewer whites, and the distribution of white pieces is crooked.

Meng Ran looked at it for a while, twisted out a white chess piece from the chess jar, and quietly placed it on the chessboard.

After the chess pieces are settled, the white chess pieces are placed exactly like the iron door nails on the inner courtyard gate.

At this moment, the soles of Meng Ran's feet sounded with the sound of machine springs, and he only felt that the soles of his feet were soft, and his body fell straight down.

Meng Ran secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly stuck to the ground in the pavilion with the Chungui knife in his hand, but unexpectedly, the fall was too fast, and his reaction was a little slow, and he fell down involuntarily.

Hearing only a muffled sound, the top of his head was already closed, and Meng Ran was very desperate to let his body fall.

Meng Ran thought that he would fall to his death in the trap, but unexpectedly, a thick layer of withered leaves and straw was laid on the ground, which well alleviated the falling momentum.

Rao is like this, Meng Ran, who was already seriously injured, still spit out a mouthful of black blood.

When Meng Ran stood up, he found that a few rays of light had lit up in the originally dark trap, illuminating the small trap.

What appeared in front of Meng Ran was a trap made of boulders, with a depth of about two zhang, and it was impossible to climb it.

There was a seven-foot-high cave at the bottom of the trap, Meng Ran hesitated for a moment, then picked up a night pearl in the corner of the wall and walked forward slowly.

At the end of the cave is a stone door with six steps of equal width and height.

Seeing this scene, Meng Ran couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said to himself: "Could it be that behind this stone gate is the real Ji Family Wu Garden? is the place where the Ji family is hiding? It's really hard to find, no wonder the people of the Ji family have not understood it thoroughly, but I don't know how those who have not participated in the enlightenment get out." ”

Meng Ran climbed the stairs and pushed hard against the stone door, but the stone gate did not react at all.

He took a few steps back, trying to take a closer look at the stone gate in front of him, and as soon as he raised his foot, he heard a crisp sound.

Curious, he looked down at the ground, only to see several white bones lying on the ground.

"Ahh

Meng Ran was startled, and hurriedly took a few steps back, stepping on something almost every time he landed.

When the sound of bone cracking stopped sounding, Meng Ran had already retreated to the bottom of the trap and sat on top of the dead leaf straw.

Meng Ran sat cross-legged, and it took a long time to eliminate the fear in his heart, let the frightened and uneasy state of mind slowly return to calm, and began to seriously think about what the green-shirted swordsman said.

"Seven in and thirteen out... What does that mean exactly?"

Six steps, seven advances, this is a paradox that cannot be violated.

Meng Ran thought for a long time, and a ridiculous idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

Thirteen minus seven is exactly six, and there are six steps in front of the stone gate.

Well, the answer seems simple.

Meng Ran packed up his mood, picked up the night pearl in his hand and entered the cave again, he walked to the stone steps, slowly walked forward six steps, then took six steps backwards, and then turned around and took seven steps backwards.

There were only six steps in front of the stone gate, and after taking seven steps back, Meng Ran should have crashed into the stone gate, but he didn't hit anything and disappeared in front of the stone gate.

There was no more Meng Ran in the cave, because he had already entered the real Ji Jia Wu Garden.

Know its advance, guard its retreat, and retreat to advance to enter the garden.

This may be the true meaning of seven in and thirteen out.

......

After Meng Ran entered the stone room, he was shocked by everything in front of him.

The stone room is very large, and the things in the stone room are even more amazing, among which there are countless gold, silver and jewelry, as well as many exercise cheats, and there are several divine weapons.

Meng Ran only felt that his mind was blank, and he was completely shocked by these precious treasures in front of him.

On the top of the stone chamber are more than a dozen night pearls the size of a baby's fist, and the fibers of the stone chamber are visible.

Meng Ran walked in circles and circles in the stone room, as if he didn't know how to get tired, his face was filled with a satisfied smile, but his eyes were a little confused.

After a while, Meng Ran's mind flashed with a hint of clarity, and he hurriedly bit his tongue vigorously to regain his consciousness.

Meng Ran, who was full of salty mouth, rubbed his temples, suppressed the surging desires and desires in his heart, and his eyes were clear.

He smiled bitterly and muttered, "No wonder Uncle Geng and that senior made me stick to my heart, I almost died here, it's really dangerous." ”

Meng Ran cleaned up his mood and looked at the east and west in the stone room, but he didn't find any more magical objects, or anything that could be used to comprehend the exercises.

Tired and angry, Meng Ran hammered the wall, and his fist hit the protruding stone marks on the wall.

After Meng Ran discovered the abnormality, he got rid of the dust and cobwebs on the wall, and saw a picture of landscape stone carvings.

What appeared in front of him was a simple landscape stone carving, a few lonely mountains, some thick and some light.

On the side of the lonely mountain is a round of suns about to fall into the sky.

The sun is twilight.

There are a few clouds floating on the top of the mountain, some light and some thick.

In front of the mountain is a large rushing river.

The river has several tributaries of varying thicknesses.

There is a small fishing boat in the middle of the river, and there is a fishing old man in a suit on the boat, and there are a few faint fish shadows under the water.

It turns out that this is the family heirloom of the Ji family.

After Meng Ran saw the stone carving, he subconsciously took two steps forward, wanting to see the whole picture of the stone carving for the first time and see what was carved on it.

However, after his gaze swept over the stone carving, Meng Ran's breathing became disordered.

The layers of mountains, the rivers intertwined near and far, the roaring river, the sunset that was about to set, all of these things instantly pressed towards Meng Ran.

He only felt his head sink and his heart feel bored, and he immediately closed his eyes.

When he closed his eyes and thought about it, he realized that he didn't seem to remember what was carved on the wall.

"How so?"

Meng Ran's muttering sounded in the stone room.
