Chapter Thirty-Six: The Horror of the Ancient Tower

After looking around for a long time and confirming that there was no one around, Chu Yunyi tiptoed from the bushes where he was sheltering to the side of the Privy Council.

The tight and seamless tower wall went straight up, like a ladder to the sky, deeply inserted into the stratus clouds, Chu Yunyi secretly sighed at this ghostly architectural skill, while suppressing the excitement in his heart, carefully circled around the tower.

However, it doesn't matter if you don't turn around, this turn actually shocked Chu Yunyi into a cold sweat.

Not only did there be no gaps in the walls of the tower, but there were not even doors and windows to enter and exit!

"This ...... Is this impossible?" Chu Yunyi naturally muttered to himself, gently leaning his body against the wall, gently tapping and slowly moving.

In fact, Chu Yunyi's surprise was normal, because although this place called the Privy Council was quite prohibited, and there were also mountain patrol disciples guarding it, it must be a place that ordinary people could not reach, but all the immortal bones and archives were stored in it, even if no one was allowed to enter, there would always be a door for the person who escorted the "new things" in!

Chu Yunyi groped little by little, but he never found anything abnormal, just when he was anxious and worried because he couldn't figure it out, a new voice slowly approached from the other side of the stone tower.

"I'm annoyed, it's a barren forest where birds don't poop and chickens don't lay eggs, and it's really troublesome to patrol every day!"

This sudden situation obviously made the unprepared Chu Yunyi a little at a loss, after all, around this bare tower standing on the top of the mountain, except for the bushes thirty or forty steps away, there was really no place for people to hide. Chu Yunyi looked left and right nervously, and quickly came up with a way to get out, after all, it was not a trivial matter to be caught sneaking around the Privy Council where idlers were forbidden to enter, not to mention the failure, it would definitely leave a big handle for Yao Tianyun and them.

Helpless, Chu Yunyi had to quickly mobilize Yun Lan to sink slightly, ready to hide in it for a while, but who knew that at the same time as Chu Yunyi jumped up violently, the wine gourd tied to his waist actually fell down very unfortunately.

Knock, knock, knock! Three crisp sounds suddenly sounded abruptly on the stone steps on the side of the tower.

"Who!" with a loud shout, the nervous and swift footsteps began to approach quickly.

Chu Yunyi, who had already desperately fallen down and wanted to grab the wine gourd, was still a step too slow, so he had no choice but to hurriedly grab the gourd that had already spilled a little wine, and kicked the wall violently, ready to rush into the clouds as fast as possible.

Unexpectedly, the touch of the soles of his feet that should have been very solid suddenly disappeared, and his whole body fell inward completely uncontrollably.

The nervous and serious interrogation voice continued to sound not far away, but Chu Yunyi, who stood up on all fours for a long time, was still stunned by everything he saw the moment he opened his eyes.

There were no lights, no windows, but the spacious room was unusually bright, with a square Tai Chi figure painted in five directions, front, back, left, right, and up, and the square floor under his feet was cut into small squares, and the piece he stepped on was distinctively glowing with a faint green light.

With such a mysterious and strange scene, Chu Yunyi could be sure that he was already in that Privy Council.

Of course, there was another reason why he was so sure, because it was the same design as the one without doors and windows, and there was no way up the stairs in the whole room that was supposed to be on the lowest floor!

At this time, Chu Yunyi's heart must have collapsed. Although he had already prepared to face difficulties and encounter traps, he didn't expect that the difficulty of this agency's prohibition would reach such a level.

There is no way to heaven, and there is no door to the earth!

That's right, not only did he not know how to get to the upper floor, but he also had no clue how to go back.

Shaking his head helplessly, he took a step forward casually, only to see that the floor under his feet had returned to normal, and the newly stepped on piece was instantly ignited by the eye-catching red light.

An extremely dangerous aura surged through Chu Yunyi's heart, and he hurriedly subconsciously leaned over and squatted on the ground. And at the same time as he reacted, the Tai Chi graphics on the surrounding walls were all lit up in an instant, and a sword blade condensed by vitality shot out from its center one after another.

The sharp edge whistled past Chu Yunyi's back, and was fiercely inserted into the Tai Chi pattern on the opposite side, which was quickly dissolved in silence, and then re-converged in the next moment, and shot back quickly.

Although the crisis of smothering his life has not yet been resolved, Chu Yunyi, who almost pressed his body to the ground, still turned his head sideways, looked at the extraordinary design, and was amazed.

However, Chu Yunyi's admiration and admiration did not bring him good luck, and just when he thought he had avoided the attack route, the Taiji diagram at the top of the room was slowly lit up.

It's over! Looking at the qi sword that was slashing at him, Chu Yunyi finally realized the fatality of all this!

If you knew this, you should have listened to the warning of Uncle Wen and don't take risks!

Fiercely gathered the strength of his whole body and rolled in the direction before, but obviously the speed of the qi sword was really amazing, and ordinary manpower could not reach it at all, although Chu Yunyi tried his best, he still felt a sharp breath cut through his clothes and stuck to his skin.

What should I do? Countless thoughts rushed through Chu Yunyi's mind, but the time left for him was really too short, not enough for him to come up with the easiest solution.

However, at this critical juncture, the piercing pain did not come from the skin of Chu Yunyi's clothes as expected. Raising his head in surprise, he saw that the sword light and sword shadows that had filled the room before had completely disappeared in an instant.

If it weren't for the cool feeling that continued to penetrate through the tears in his clothes, Chu Yunyi really couldn't believe that everything before was real.

As if he suddenly remembered something, Chu Yunyi hurriedly looked down, only to see that in order to dodge the attacking qi sword before, his whole body happened to roll over to the place where he had entered the room before, and the faint green light was already on the stone slab under him, conspicuously lit up.

"I understand!" Chu Yunyi muttered to himself happily, and then a carp straightened up, stood up steadily, and began to look around the room carefully.

"Tai Chi...... Tai chi...... Tai chi....... That's right, it's Tai Chi!" Chu Yunyi looked at the Tai Chi figures, and the gossip diagram derived from the Tai Chi Law Seal appeared in his mind, if it was tiled on this square room, the stone slab he was standing on happened to be one of the eight hexagram positions: "Dry ...... Female...... Shake...... Modest...... Pit...... Leave...... Tough...... Redeem!"

Chu Yunyi's mind filled in the eight trigram diagrams corresponding to the various hexagrams in this room, and jumped towards the corresponding stone slabs in turn according to their order, and sure enough, a flash of green light also rose immediately, and no attack was activated again.

And just as he stepped on the last stone slab, a chaotic mixture of light and dark rose up and covered his surroundings. But this time, Chu Yunyi didn't panic anymore, because he understood that he had successfully passed the first level.

Patiently waiting for the situation in front of me to return to normal, a feeling of happiness slowly came to my heart, glad that my childhood experience in the library helped me, and I was also glad that I did not give up and retreat, and did not miss the wonderful experience that others may not be able to experience in their lifetime.

However, the impermanence of the world seems to be like this, always giving you a completely unexpected "surprise" when you are most happy and proud.

And often "surprised" is greater than "happy".

The deep and cold blue light pierced the layers of chaos, and Chu Yunyi finally recovered from the dazzling light, but with just one glance, he almost sat on the ground.

This level was noticeably several times taller than the previous one, but it was still crowded, as countless ghosts were holding their weapons and huddled around with their teeth and claws.

In fact, it is not very accurate to say that it is ghosts, because from the neat Taoist robes they wear and the Tai Chi imprints faintly emerging on their foreheads, it can be seen that they are really the ghostly bodies that are recorded in ancient books and made by refining talismans through Taoism.

In fact, Fu Ling is not uncommon, many Taoist organs are arranged in the forbidden land, and using this kind of spiritual thing to act as a guard is obviously a hundred times stronger than those dead organs. Even in the forbidden land of the back mountain of Qingluan Peak in Fengmen, Chu Yunyi had encountered and even dispersed a few, but it was the first time that Chu Yunyi had seen a group of runes with such depth and number of spiritual power as at the moment.

Indeed, not to mention Chu Yunyi, who is less than twenty years old, is composed of nearly a hundred runes with vitality lingering on these weapons, at least the strength of the Guiyuan Intermediate Rank, I am afraid that few people in the entire Huayang Sect have seen it.

Suddenly pulling out the Falling Star Sword behind his back, although the burst blue sword rays forced back the cold blue faint light, Chu Yunyi could still clearly feel that in the silent confrontation with the enemy who was eyeing him, his hand holding the sword was already trembling irrepressibly.

"Kill!" Among the runes with blue bodies and similar appearances, a "leading brother" who was obviously taller and more ferocious than his companions obviously saw Chu Yunyi's timidity, and suddenly seized the opportunity, stepped forward, and while commanding his companions, he waved the long sword in his hand and rushed towards Chu Yunyi in the first place.

"Fight, I'll fight with you!" Looking at the army of runes rushing like a tide, countless beads of sweat rolled down his face, clenched his teeth tightly, and violently injected the vitality in his body into the long sword, desperately slashing at the leading rune spirit.

With a "clang", the firelight flashed, and I saw that the long sword in the hand of the leading rune spirit was broken in half, and the galloping star sword also knocked the rune spirit far away.

The runes who had lost their command were obviously deeply shocked by Chu Yunyi's blow and stopped what they were doing, but just when Chu Yunyi thought that he had raised his sword and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw that those runes that were originally silent suddenly made a noise.

"Revenge for the Soul Breaking System, everyone fight!" With a shout, those already fierce and vicious Netherworld bodies rushed towards Chu Yunyi like crazy.

Chu Yunyi couldn't have imagined that these single-minded low-level creatures were not frightened by themselves at all, but instead went forward one after another, looking for themselves as if they were dead.

In an instant, being overwhelmed by the countless enemies, Chu Yunyi could no longer remember what sword strength or body technique, he could only use all his strength to slash indiscriminately in that deep fear, but although he relied on the advantage of the Falling Star Sword, the enemies who could not be killed were still clinging to his side, constantly waiting for an opportunity to attack him.

One after another Dao talismans fell to the ground, indicating that the number of enemies had begun to slowly decrease, but Chu Yunyi, who was already covered in bruises and blood, knew very well that those opponents who were not much lower than his own strength, no matter if they were killed ten, twenty, or thirty by the Falling Star Sword, it would not be himself who won the victory in the end.

Endless despair began to diffuse throughout Chu Yunyi's body, delaying his already inferior behavior, and finally, after a hook and sickle pierced his right shoulder, his body that fluttered like a fallen leaf was also dragged to the ground by the huge force.

The red-eyed runes suddenly rushed up desperately like flies that smelled blood.
