Chapter 19: Awakening
Last time, after Hai Fugui, Jiang Cheng, Xiahou Jinxuan and his party beat and killed the demon beast Burning Tail again, they continued to follow Jiang Cheng's guidance and walked to the cave.
After passing the place of the Burning Tail battle, the journey went smoothly, but it was too quiet, not even a frightened gopher, and the silence was a little scary.
After a while, everyone came to a huge stone gate, in front of the door a piece of rubble was scattered all over the ground, messy fallen stone pillars can be seen everywhere, the original appearance can not be seen, only vaguely can be identified as a huge square.
However, the two two-zhang high sculptures in front of the door are relatively well preserved, two female demon stone carvings on the left and one on the right, holding strange demon soldiers, the posture is enchanting and graceful, and the clothes do not cover the body, so that the faces of the three women in the team are hot for a while, and they secretly turn their heads.
Everyone was blocked in front of the closed stone gate, and there was nothing they could do for a while. I had to stop and discuss what to do.
Li Yan said that the age is old, this stone gate may not be reliable, it is better to break it by force. Jiang Chengcheng had a hidden danger in his heart, so he first looked at the way to open the surroundings, and Xiahou Jinxuan was thinking about whether there was a record in the ancient books, but for a while, everyone was helpless to take this stone gate.
Twilight Lan found that Hai Fugui in the team looked wooden at this time, looking at the two sculptures with demented eyes, and couldn't help muttering: "Sure enough, it's still hard to change the color!
Only then did everyone discover Hai Fugui's abnormality, and they immediately shook their heads secretly, and sighed: "Hai Gongzi is good at everything, but his temperament is too impetuous." ”
Hai Fugui found that everyone was looking at him strangely, and after reacting, he couldn't help but exclaim: Alas, I can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River now. So he said seriously: "Well, do you see the difference between these two dead object sculptures holding weapons?" deliberately emphasizing the word dead object.
The two female demon sculptures are holding weapons, one is a halberd, the other is a spear, if it is placed in the hands of a man, it is normal, but it is a seemingly weak woman holding it, it looks a little awkward.
Only then did everyone realize that they had misunderstood him, and they blamed themselves in their hearts: "Alas, Brother Hai is already a cultivator, how can he be obsessed with such mundane things and unstable in his mind. It turned out that something strange had been discovered, no wonder!"
Jiang Chengdao: "Well, Brother Hai has a unique vision, and this weapon is indeed strange. ”
"I think this weapon can be turned!" the girl approached and made a closer look.
So Jiang Cheng walked over and twisted it vigorously, not moving at all.
Hai Fugui said: "Why don't you try the two together?" Hai Fugui and Jiang Cheng twisted the two weapons at the same time, and sure enough, they slowly turned away.
I only heard the sound of rusty machinery coming from inside the stone gate, and everyone quickly retreated, avoiding it from a distance, even if there was any hidden weapon in the machine, they could avoid it in time.
After a creaking, bumping, and friction sound, the stone door shook violently, and then slowly turned inward, opened on both sides, and a hot wind blew in the face, only to see the red light inside the sky, the heat wave rolling, and the situation inside could not be seen. Hai Fugui couldn't help but use his spiritual power to urge the ice to breathe and save the waves, so that the temperature around everyone was lowered.
Everyone cautiously walked through the stone gate, and when they came to the inside, they found that there was a huge pit in front of them, the magma was tumbling around, the huge iron cable connection was chaotic, the air was turbid, full of hot gas and dust mist, and it was difficult to see it three zhang away.
What appeared in front of everyone was four paths shuttling through the magma, and at this time, Jiang Cheng's mental guidance was also difficult to discern, so everyone recognized a fact and got lost!
Hai Fugui suddenly found that the situation in front of him was somewhat similar to what he saw in the Shushan Jingge book, and said: "The situation in front of me is somewhat similar to the Four Elephants Returning Yuan Array recorded in the book. ”
"The Four Elephants Returning to the Yuan Array is an ancient strange formation, I only saw its name in the ancient books, Brother Hai can actually see it at a glance, is there a way to crack it?" Xiahou Jinxuan also slightly involved in the formation, so he also suspected that what was in front of him was a formation, but after searching the books he had read in his mind, he still didn't find a formation similar to it.
Hai Fugui said: "If it is one person to crack it, it is extremely difficult, but if we have seven people, it will be much easier." Hai Fugui introduced to everyone the cracking method of the Four Elephants Returning to the Yuan Array and some details that need to be paid attention to and possible dangers, the method of cracking the Four Elephants Returning Yuan Array is to break the four formations in the middle of the formation - four elephant gates in spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four elephants are circulating, mutual defense and conversion, it is useless to break an elephant alone, even if only one elephant is not broken, it needs to be restarted, and this array uses the power of heaven and earth to use the fire of the center of the earth as the source of the array, and it cuts off the possibility of forcible destruction, after all, the manpower is poor and the earth is too small compared to heaven and earth.
"Fortunately, this formation does not seem to hide other murder formations, so the method of cracking is also simple, the key is to break the four elephant gates at the same time, the time difference can not be more than half a stick of incense, we have seven people, we can be divided into four teams at the same time. Hai Fugui finally concluded.
Looking at Hai Fugui, who was talking eloquently, everyone seemed to remember his demeanor when he was in the public trial of Folding Sword Villa, but it was the same person who was greedy for money and lustful before.
The girl said: "Hai Gongzi, but the hot breath here hurts people, and you only have a flying sword with the power of frost, how can you divide into four teams?"
Hai Fugui looked solemn, sighed and said: "This is another difficulty in cracking this formation, but I have learned some talismans in Shushan, and I can temporarily isolate the heat, but it is only two hours of effect." So we have now agreed on a time to break the formation, and within two hours, regardless of whether the formation is broken or not, we must return to this place. ”
Hai Fugui used the frost aura in his body to urge the flying sword to breathe the waves, and drew six fire-avoiding talismans with sword qi, which were drawn by sword qi and could not be preserved, so it was useless to have more. Hai Fugui sent the fire amulet to everyone one by one, and said at the same time: "This fire amulet is also the first time I have drawn it, and I don't know if it is good or not. Hai Fugui continuously urged the sword qi to draw six fire avoidance talismans, and he was also a little tired.
Hearing this, people wanted to beat him, and dared to treat everyone as test subjects, seeing Hai Fugui's smug smile, the flawed girl knew that she had fallen for him again, this guy was purely to make everyone happy at this tense moment.
The next step is to assign the team, Hai Fugui said: "There are seven of us, divided into four teams, according to the nature of the formation, it is best to attack from a distance and a close approach, and the two of them cooperate tacitly." Miss Defect and Miss Twilight have been together for a long time, and they can be matched in the same team, how about Miss Jieluo and Brother Li Yan together?"
Li Yan replied: "Yes!"
Jieluo hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, then I'll be on a team with Brother Li Yan." ”
"There is a team of Brother Jiang and Brother Xiahou left. ”
As soon as Hai Fugui finished speaking, Jiang Cheng said: "Let's let Brother Xiahou and Brother Hai be together, and I will be on a team alone." Jiang Cheng meant that he didn't want Hai Fugui to risk alone.
"Brother Jiang, my melee attack is not as good as yours, and it is you who is suitable for the match with Young Master Xiahou. In fact, Hai Fugui has other arrangements in his heart, but it is inconvenient to say it clearly.
In the end, everyone agreed to the team assignment of Hai Fugui, and Hai Fugui activated the fire avoidance charms in everyone's hands one by one. This fire avoidance talisman is transformed by sword qi, and after it is activated, it forms an invisible sword qi cover two feet away from everyone, blocking the heat wave and fire breath, which is similar to the Five Elements Spiritual Magic Cover.
According to Hai Fugui's distribution, everyone walked to their respective passages, and Hai Fugui once again summarized or admonished: "Everyone must remember that it will take an hour to break through the Elephant Gate Formation, if you don't reach the middle Elephant Gate, you will exit first, remember not to hesitate to stay, this array does not seem to hide the murder formation from the outside, but it may also be that my eyesight is limited and I can't find it, so everyone needs to be very careful." ”
Everyone remembered what Hai Fugui said, broke into the formation, Hai Fugui saw them disappear into the array, and then stepped into the passage where the Xia Xiang Gate was located, the reason why Hai Fugui chose this passage was that he guessed that the array spirit of the Four Elephants Guiyuan Array was stationed in this channel, because this array was based on the fire of the center of the earth as the source of the array, and the array spirit must be in the Xia Xiang Gate with the corresponding attributes, and it was also the most powerful. Hai Fugui did not make this clear to them.
Hai Fugui walked through the Xia Xiang Gate, and the attack in the formation was the most powerful, and as soon as he entered the formation, he found that he was in a sea of fire, and a large number of fireballs and fire snakes flew around.
This sea of fire is an illusion, and there is not much deterrence, but it can't be resisted, Hai Fugui just releases the frost qi that breathes the waves, that is, it can be completely suppressed, but the fireballs and fire snakes that attack him are a little troublesome, and there are quite a lot of them. Hai Fugui didn't know how much danger there was inside, so he tried to save the spiritual power in his body, the fireball was opened with a sword, the fire snake swung his sword to cut off, and the fire wave in front of him was split with a sword.
Fortunately, he had the flying sword of the ice breath to save the waves, which was like a bamboo, and he walked smoothly for a while, and advanced more than ten zhang away in a moment. When I observed from the outside before, I judged that there were indeed no other murderous arrays in the array, only the formation attack of the Four Elephants Returning Array itself.
Hai Fugui estimated the time, walked in this sea of fire for nearly half an hour, and suddenly changed in front of him, the sea of fire disappeared, and all kinds of fireballs and fire snake attacks also retreated, and his feet stepped on the ground again, returning to the passage, and the magma was still rolling on both sides.
A firebird the size of an eagle stood still in the air, and it didn't see its wings stirring up, but it could stop steadily in the air, emitting a raging fire. At a glance, you can see that you have achieved success.
Hai Fugui guessed where the firebird came from, and said, "Firebird, how about getting out of the way?"
This firebird is the spirit of the four elephant return to the Yuan array, thousands of years ago was only a ball of flame essence, only by the order of the person who set up the array, in this four elephants return to the Yuan array by the power of the fire spirit baptism in the center of the earth, for a long time, it actually had a spiritual sense two hundred years ago, and then it devoured the flame spiritual power cultivation, twenty years ago only with reference to the appearance of the divine beast Vermilion Bird successfully transformed, but no one pointed out, so it became the appearance of today, the finch is not a finch, the eagle is not an eagle, the self-proclaimed "fire god falcon", two hundred years has been guarding this array, never disturbed.
