Chapter 24: Entering the Battle

Bypassing the high platform, Hu Yan really saw another cave. Above the door of the cave, the words "Seal the Demon Cave" are written in a small seal. And the stone wall on the left side of the cave door is engraved: "Seal the devil and the land, don't break into the idler." "Eight seals.

Jin Ning'er didn't care about this, she pulled her legs and walked inside. When the people saw this, they did not stay, but followed.

Leaving the lit stone chamber, the crowd was once again plunged into endless darkness. The cave seemed to be completely opaque, and the further they went, the more depressed and bored they felt. From time to time, a gust of wind blew, which made everyone's backs chill.

Ziling followed closely behind Hu Yan, and her thin body seemed to be trapping Hu Yan's body. Cold sweat was dripping on her head, and her little hands were dragging Hu Yan's arm stiffly, for fear that she would be lost if she was not careful.

The heavy footsteps and muffled breathing of the four echoed all around. But it is precisely this that makes the whole cave seem more and more silent.

Hu Yan naturally felt the fear in Ziling's heart, and patted Ziling's little hand comfortingly. In fact, he is not much better than Ziling at the moment, even Jin Ning'er and Wuqiu, who have always loved to fight, are quiet at the moment, and they don't even dare to breathe, and no one wants to open their mouths to break this deathly silence.

I don't know how long I walked like this, but just when everyone's patience was about to reach the critical point, Jin Ning'er, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and said in a hoarse voice: "Stinky boy, come and see." ”

Jin Ning'er, who had been silent, suddenly opened her mouth to speak, and couldn't help but startle everyone. However, it was expected that Jin Ning'er had discovered something, but Hu Yan hurriedly stepped forward and saw Jin Ning'er pointing to the darkness not far away and said, "There seems to be something ahead!"

Hu Yan's eyes widened and he looked ahead, but he couldn't see anything but the endless darkness.

But he didn't ask for it: "It seems to be a stone gate, let's go, let's go over and have a look." As he spoke, he ran forward like a smoke.

Hu Yan's skills are not as good as Jin Ning'er and Wu Qiu, and his ability to perceive things in the dark is naturally not as good as the two of them, since he has discovered something, Hu Yan hurriedly pulled Ziling over.

After a while, Hu Yan finally vaguely saw the stone gate that Wu Qiu said. The stone gate is huge, about a foot high, carved with dragons and phoenixes, and engraved with runes that Hu Yan can't understand. On both sides of the stone gate, there is a guardian beast that looks like a dragon but not a dragon, and a lion is not a lion's mouth.

At this moment, the stone door is empty, leaving a crack in the door that can be passed through by one person. I think it was Zhuang Bai who opened the stone door.

Hu Yan looked at the huge stone gate, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the two stone gates on the left and right are tens of millions of catties, and Zhuang Bai was able to open it with his own strength, which is enough to show how strong his strength is.

Everyone walked in along the stone gate, and suddenly their vision was broadened. A huge cavern appeared before everyone's eyes.

However, the cave was clearly not an ordinary cavern, and the huge rocks inside stood tall and connected to the ground. I think that the boulders I saw on the rocky hill before were only a part of these stones. And every few boulders, a lantern made of mermaid oil hangs on it. Purple or silver charms are attached to the lantern, and under the lamp are attached to the large iron cable at the mouth of the bowl, and the iron rope is also covered with charms of various colors, but most of them are yellow.

These countless boulders and iron cables are entangled together, forming a strange formation.

Hu Yan raised his eyes and looked at this huge stone array, and said in a deep voice: "Wuqiu, is this the Nine Palace Bagua Array?"

Wuqiu nodded and said, "That's right, but this formation looks much more powerful than the ordinary Nine Palace Bagua Array." Look at the stone, it's all high-grade talismans. ”

Jin Ning'er sneered and said, "If this array is not powerful, how can it be possible to suppress the demons who have caused heavy casualties in Sichuan Daomen." ”

Wu Qiu didn't have the heart to quarrel with Jin Ning'er at this time, and looked into the Nine Palaces Bagua Array on tiptoe, but he could only see the chaos of rocks and iron cables, and he couldn't see anything else.

"Do you think Brother Zhuang has already entered the formation?" Wu Qiu looked at Hu Yan with some concern.

Hu Yan frowned and said, "Judging from the previous signs, it is very likely that Brother Zhuang has entered." ”

Wuqiu's brows also twisted: "If that's the case, it's a big deal." This Nine Palaces Bagua Array is extremely sinister, and ordinary people will not be able to get out if they don't know how to break the formation. ”

When Jin Ning'er heard Wuqiu say this, her heart suddenly became anxious: "What can I do about this, although senior brother knows this formation, he will not break the formation at all." If he really can't get out, won't he be trapped in it for the rest of his life?"

Wu Qiu pondered for a moment and said: "This Nine Palaces Bagua Array is unpredictable, it is difficult for ordinary people to decipher, and the general situation is arranged according to the direction of the Bagua, that is, Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui correspond to the northwest, due north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, and west. The central bucket is called Wuhuang, also called the demon suppression platform, which is the god platform for suppressing demons. The Nine Palaces Bagua Array opens four doors in the whole array, which is called life, death, shock, and opening. The internal structure is three rows, three buckets and nine curved lines. This iron cable has two kinds of horizontal and vertical connections, and the first bucket is set up with one at the labyrinth, and the second bucket is set up with two, and so on for a total of ninety-nine numbers. Sometimes there are jumping mazes, as few as nine, and as many as ninety-nine. This burst goes back and forth, and the maze comes out one after another. Walk out of the maze, walk around and return to the same place, and never want to come out. If you strayed into the door of death, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky. If you want to break this formation, you have to enter from the door and go out. ”

Hearing Wu Qiu say this, Hu Yan's heart suddenly beat a drum, this Nine Palace Bagua Array is so complex and unpredictable, and it may be difficult for people who are well versed in the formation to crack it easily. Except for Wuqiu, a half-person in this group who knows a little about the formation, the rest of the people don't know anything at all. If you rush into the battle, I am afraid that not only will you not be able to find Brother Zhuang, but even you will have to worry about your life.

"Then what should we do now, do we have to wait outside for Senior Brother to come out by himself?" Jin Ning'er and Zhuang Bai had a deep affection, and they couldn't wait to rush in immediately. But when I heard Wuqiu's words, I had to think about the consequences.

Wu Qiu thought for a while and said, "Let's take a look at the situation first, Brother Zhuang has been coming in for some time, maybe he will come out soon." ”

There is no other way now, and until the situation is clarified, there is only one option to wait.

But Jin Ning'er was already anxious, and now the senior brother who doted on her the most was in a trance, and she still had the patience to wait.

"What if he's already in the mystery, or if he's already in death? No, I'll have to go in and save him. You don't dare to go in, I'll go in alone. Saying that, Jin Ning'er stomped her feet and didn't care about life or death, and rushed straight into the Nine Palaces Bagua Array lined with huge stones.

Seeing this, he was suddenly shocked, and it was too late to hold Jin Ning'er. I could only watch Jin Ning'er disappear between the boulders.

"Nonsense, this ...... How's that going to be?"

Hu Yan is also in turmoil at the moment, although Jin Ning'er is rude and willful on weekdays, but Zhuang Bai is very good to him, and he also promised to go with him to track down the whereabouts of the evil dragon. Now that something has happened to Zhuang Bai, he can't stand by and watch out of morality, emotion and reason. It's just that what he's worried about now is that he doesn't know the formation at all, let alone the method of breaking the formation, and if he rushes in, not only will he not be able to save people, but he will also fall into a maze. This left him in a bit of a dilemma.

But soon, Hu Yan made up his mind, patted Wu Qiu and said: "I can't care so much, let's go, let's go in." ”

Wuqiu hesitated for a moment and nodded fiercely: "Although that fierce girl is a little annoying, we can't ignore it." What's more, without Brother Zhuang, it would be impossible for us to find traces of the evil dragon. Although I don't have a way to break this Nine Palaces Bagua Array, I still know a little bit about the formation. As long as you avoid the door of death, you will be fine. I will explore the way first, and you will follow me. ”

Hu Yan nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

So Hu Yan pulled Ziling and entered Stonehenge with Wu Qiu.

Wuqiu stood in front of Stonehenge, checked the direction and said, "The birth gate is in the kan, that is, the north." But every hour there is a game, and you must follow me. Otherwise, it's easy to get separated. After saying that, he entered through the north gate, and Wuqiu and Ziling followed.

As soon as he stepped into the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, Hu Yan felt a heavy fog rise all around. Hazy and indefensible. Hu Yan was shocked, took Ziling's hand tightly, and walked forward with Wuqiu's footsteps.

Although Wuqiu said that there was no way to crack the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, he had seen this formation in the book, and the most important thing about the Nine Palaces Bagua Array was that there were many mysteries, and the game would change every other hour. Perhaps one hour is still the door of life, and the next hour is the door of death.

Therefore, they must find Jin Ning'er and Zhuang Bai within an hour, and then find the door to open the door and come out to have a glimmer of life. Otherwise, it is very likely that you will be trapped in this myriad of ever-changing mazes and never be able to get out again.

It's just that the Nine Palaces Bagua Array made of this boulder is really complicated, and now there is a fog misty, so it is difficult to distinguish the direction. It's even harder to find the door. The three of them didn't go far before they came across the first fork in the road.

After pinching his knuckles to calculate the time and distance of entering the formation and determine the direction, he clapped his hands and said, "Go to the left." ”

Although Hu Yan was confused, he firmly believed in the choice of Wuqiu, since Wuqiu chose to go to the left, he and Ziling could only follow the left. However, Hu Yan kept an eye on it, and carved a clearly visible circle on the stone wall just in case.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "This formation is constantly changing, even if you make a mark, it's useless." Maybe the marks you make will lead you to a dead end. ”

Hu Yan said disapprerovingly: "No matter how many of it, be prepared." As for the rest of the matter, we will talk about it later. ”

Wuqiu curled his mouth, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Hu Yan, and he didn't know whether he was praising or mocking.

It doesn't matter so much nonsense, no matter how strange and dangerous it is, even if it is Ke Zhou Qiu Jian, he is somewhat comforted.
