Chapter 44: Starry Sky and Yellow Spring
At the back of the crowd, Tian Lao walked slowly on crutches, looking at this piece of light and muttering to himself as he walked: "Sneaking down such an exaggerated formation at the bottom of the mountain, is it really the Huangquan Acupoint that is sealed?" "This year is really unfavorable, how can I encounter these troublesome things......"
Just as the old man was talking to himself, Jiang Jianqiu strode up from behind, and it seemed that he had finally recovered from the fatigue of wielding the Nether Sword. He patted Tianlao on the shoulder and said, "Old man, what does a person say?" Tianlao glanced back at him and said, "It's not big or small, my old bones are about to be tossed and scattered this time, this black light is blind, hurry up and help me to point." Jiang Jianqiu smiled, reached out to support Tianlao's shoulder, and walked forward with him.
In front of the team, Mo Danfeng, Ling Shengxue, Yue Mingxin and others had already walked to a stone platform at the end of the winding path, and at this moment they had passed through the entire starlight array and came to the bottom of the formation. But at this moment, the three of them were not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery above them, but looked down at the depths of their feet, their brows furrowed.
At the depth of more than ten zhang under their feet, there was a huge yellow whirlpool, which occupied almost the entire bottom of the mountain, slowly rotating in the opposite direction to the starry sky array overhead, constantly emitting bursts of yellow smoke outward, and continuous wailing and roaring continued to come from the whirlpool, as if the other end of the whirlpool was connected to the Nine Hells.
"Could this be the Huangquan Cave that the old man mentioned before?" Yue Mingxin looked at the huge yellow vortex under his feet, his face full of worry.
Ling Shengxue said on the side: "Who can know whether the ethereal legend of Huangquan exists in the world. But the aura revealed by this whirlpool in front of her was extremely cold, and it was obviously a very dangerous thing!" she looked up at the starlight array above and said, "The big array above is in the opposite direction of rotation of this whirlpool, and it should be using the power of the formation to suppress the activities of this whirlpool. ”
At this time, Jiang Jianqiu helped Tian Lao to the stone platform, Tian Lao saw the huge yellow vortex under his feet, his lips trembled, he cursed in a low voice, and stood there silent.
Jiang Jianqiu stretched out his head to look at the yellow whirlpool under his feet, his face full of curiosity: "Is this the Huangquan Cave?" Eh, there seems to be a broken corner over there?" everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and only then did they find that at the place where the whirlpool in the distance on the left touched the cave wall, the yellow whirlpool seemed to have broken a corner, emitting a large amount of yellow smoke, and from time to time there were shadows floating out of the smoke, and in an instant they burrowed into the cracks in the side of the mountain wall, and disappeared.
"It seems that all the ghosts that wandered outside before came out of here. Brother Mo, is that what you destroyed before?" asked Ling Shengxue. Mo Danfeng shook his head blankly and said, "I don't know, when I woke up, I was standing on this stone platform, and in front of me was a broken turtle token, and the whirlpool under my feet was stationary before, but it suddenly began to rotate from then on. I was so frightened by the power of this great array that I flew straight into the sword and fled. ”
At this time, Jiang Jianqiu said on the side: "Look at the crack in the belly of the mountain over there, there is such a big crack, it is more than ten zhang long, I am afraid it is not something that can be done by manpower." I think there may have been some geological changes in this place recently, so that the Huangquan Cave was damaged, and the ghosts and ghosts leaked out, maybe the demon sword was also active because of this, Brother Mo entered the tomb before, but it was just at the right time, and the luck was not good. ”
Ling Shengxue looked at the huge crack on the mountain wall in the distance and nodded, what the senior brother said was not unreasonable, but the huge mountain crack on the cliff was not something that a few people on his side could repair. For now, the only way to do this is to repair the large array above and suppress the activity of the Huangquan Acupoint. She looked at Mo Danfeng and asked, "Nerd, where is the token that you broke before?"
Mo Danfeng listened and thought for a moment before saying, "It should be directly above us, and I should have used my sword qi to shatter it at that time." The debris should still be floating in that area. ”
Ling Shengxue raised her eyes when she heard this, and after careful observation, she found that there was a black debris floating in the air above. She turned her head to Yue Mingxin and said, "Miss Yue, can you use your snow silk to take some pieces down?" Yue Mingxin nodded, and with a wave of her hand, a thin silk net appeared near the fragments, and the crystal light flickered, dragging several pieces of fragments, and flew back to everyone.
Ling Shengxue picked up a piece of fragments, put it in his palm and observed it for a moment, then looked up at Jiang Jianqiu and said, "This token is an ancient treasure, it should be an extremely spiritual thing. However, if there is no one on the formation center to preside over this kind of large array, it will not be able to exert its real power, so in order to allow the formation to continue to operate, some spiritual magic weapons are often placed on the formation center as the source of the driving force of the entire formation. Now that this treasure has been destroyed, this great array has also lost its spirituality, and it is only in appearance. Jiang Jianqiu scratched his head when he heard this, and said, "That's ...... Are we going to find a way to fix this treasure?"
Ling Shengxue shook his head and said, "This kind of ancient magic weapon is difficult for even a refining master to repair. At the moment, I can only find a treasure as a substitute and place it on the formation hub, and then I will find a way to reactivate the big array, and then the stars will naturally return to their positions, and this formation will be considered normal!"
Jiang Jianqiu grinned when he heard this, and said, "No, then I didn't get anything on this trip, but I had to put in a treasure, not a loss!" Mo Danfeng on the side looked at Jiang Jianqiu, his eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "Eh, the cyan sword that Jiang Shaoxia got before doesn't look extraordinary, I think it should definitely be able to use it as a formation hub!"
Jiang Jianqiu was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly protected the sword on his side with his hand, glared at Mo Danfeng viciously, and said loudly: "Don't even think about it! I worked hard to get this sword and use it as a formation hub, will I still be able to deal with those ghosts and ghosts with my bare hands in a while!" Jiang Jianqiu's eyes rolled, and he seemed to think of something and said: "By the way, don't you still have an ancestral short sword on your body, and you can't pull it out anyway, just contribute it to be a formation pivot, and it will be regarded as your atonement for your sins." Mo Danfeng was also stunned when he heard this, waved his hand again and again, and said, "How can this be done!"
Ling Shengxue frowned on the side and said, "Don't make any noise, a formation of this level will definitely place spare array treasures nearby in case of contingencies, do you think about what treasures you have seen before that can be used as a formation pivot?"
Yue Mingxin was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then suddenly raised his head and shouted: "I remember!" Everyone was stunned, and Yue Mingxin said with a smile: "The chessboard on the incense table in the main tomb before!"
Jiang Jianqiu and the others suddenly realized that the chessboard before did not look ordinary, and it should be more suitable to be used as a substitute for the formation pivot. At this moment, there was a "plop" on the side, and everyone turned to look, but it was Tian Lao who sat on the ground, shook his head and said, "If you want to go up, you go up, I really can't move!"
Ling Shengxue thought for a while and said, "It's okay, Tianlao and Ling'er will stay here, and Brother Mo is responsible for protecting them." My brother and I, Miss Yue, went up to the tomb to get the chessboard. Everyone heard this and had no objections, so Yue Ling'er Mo Danfeng stayed, Jiang Jianqiu, Ling Shengxue, and Yue Mingxin turned around and walked towards the top of the mountain.
A moment later, Jiang Jianqiu and the three of them had passed through the pitch-black cave and returned to the brightly lit main burial chamber again. Looking at the black and white chessboard crisscrossing the incense table in the center of the tomb, Jiang Jianqiu said: "If you want to take this chessboard, you will have to fight with the things in those giant dings, Moon Girl, if a group of messy insects fly out in a while, you will use the sound of the piano to disperse them all." Yue Mingxin nodded and said yes.
Jiang Jianqiu jumped to the center of the field, walked to the edge of the incense case in a few steps, and pinched the edge of the chessboard as soon as he stretched out his hand, and almost at the same time, there was a slight "dong" sound in the three big tripods on the left side of the hall. Jiang Jianqiu let out a loud shout and raised the chessboard from the incense table, and at the same time, three thick puffs of black smoke erupted from the three big tripods on the side. "Hey, is it really some kind of bug?" Jiang Jianqiu muttered to himself as he looked at these black smokes.
The three puffs of black smoke swirled like a whirlwind and flew into the center of the hall, merging into one in an instant. I saw a black smoke in the center of the hall swirling, gradually forming a black tornado. Jiang Jianqiu looked at the black tornado in front of him, and suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
"This thing doesn't seem to be the same as the mosquitoes before......"
