Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Eight Gates

Cheng Ming glanced at the man in black with a smile: "This fellow Daoist, I see that you are very familiar with this master, can you introduce one or two?"

The man in black scratched his head, pretending to be stupid and said: "Actually, I just accidentally got the relics left by a senior some time ago, but the notes left by that senior are not detailed, I only know that this is indeed the mansion of the legendary Yang God Zhenren, and I don't know more than you know about the others." ”

"It's strange to believe you!"

Cheng Ming nodded on the surface, and sneered in his heart, but now that the two sides are in a cooperative relationship, since the other party is unwilling to say more, he is not good at asking, so he motioned to the man in black not to waste time and open the door quickly.

The man in black smiled innocently, took Cheng Ming to the door, and said, "Big brother, you see that there are two handprints on this door, as long as you put your hand on it and enter the true qi, the door will open." ”

"It won't suck my True Qi out, will it?"

Looking at the handprints on the two doors on the left and right, Cheng Ming asked. Although the two parties had made an oath before, he still didn't trust each other very much in his heart.

"Of course it's impossible!" The man in black hurriedly gave Cheng Ming a reassuring look and said, "We have already made an oath before, what else are you worried about, big brother?

The man in black solemnly made an oath and turned his head to look at Cheng Ming.

Cheng Ming shrugged his shoulders and motioned for the man in black to continue.

Then, the man in black took out a key and opened the lock on the gate of the gatehouse, and when there was a flash of light on it, he said urgently: "Big brother, quick!"

Cheng Ming hurriedly pressed his palm up, and as soon as he entered the true qi, he felt the true qi in his body surging out, which frightened him a lot, thinking that it was going to be bad. But in the blink of an eye, his true qi returned to his body, and immediately after. I heard a boom, and the door slowly opened.

The man in black smiled: "I'll just say it's okay, let's go up quickly, although the people in the back are unlikely to pass the test in the square." But I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if. ”

With that, he took the lead in entering the gatehouse, followed the sheep's intestine path, and climbed up the mountain. After a while, he saw that Cheng Ming was still bowing his head in front of the gatehouse and pondering. I couldn't help but be a little strange, and asked loudly, "Big brother, do you have any questions?"

Cheng Ming suppressed the doubts in his heart and smiled slightly: "It's okay, I just thought of something just now." ”

With that, he also crossed the gatehouse and walked up the hill. With the experience in front of the gatehouse just now, he wouldn't ask why he didn't fly up again.

The man in black glanced at Cheng Ming strangely, shook his head, and continued to climb up the mountain.

Although the mountain roads are rugged. However, there was no problem for Cheng Ming and the man in black. After nearly half an hour, they reached the top of the mountain together, and suddenly there was a splendid palace, which caught the eyes of the two.

I saw that the whole palace was extremely majestic, the vermilion walls, the dark green glazed tile roof, the dragon on the eaves, the golden scales and golden armor, vivid, as if they wanted to fly into the air. In the middle of the palace hangs a plaque with blue trim and gold trim. It is written with three big golden characters of "Ruiming Palace".

In addition, the floor of the palace is paved with fine white jade, which looks to shine with a warm light, just these white jade. can make ordinary people stunned.

After a while, Cheng Ming came back to his senses and was about to walk towards the palace, but as soon as his eyes swept away, he saw that someone at the bottom of the mountain had passed the test of the square and was rapidly climbing towards the top of the mountain.

"Fellow Daoist. I said what's going on?" Cheng Ming said with some annoyance: "Didn't you say that it was the foundation building monk in the end?

The man in black looked back and couldn't help but be a little stunned: "No, it's obvious that what I'm seeing is a foundation building monk, how can someone pass so quickly? Could it be that the square changes the difficulty of the challenge according to the strength of the tester?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? I thought you had already experienced it, so you told me. Cheng Ming glared at him angrily. Knowing this, he would not have agreed to the request of the man in black at all, but now that he has an uncertain factor in his body, he doesn't know what it will bring him in the end.

The man in black shook his head and said, "Of course this is impossible, if it fails, even if there is a secret passage to go up the mountain, I will not be able to enter this Ruiming Palace." ”

Seeing that the people under the mountain had to have at least a cup of tea before they could go up the mountain, Cheng Ming was not in a hurry, and said, "As compensation, fellow Daoist, should you show some sincerity?"

The man in black laughed dryly and said, "This matter is just my temporary negligence, besides, we are one step faster than others in the secret passage, and there is a lot less trouble." Of course, as a friend, the younger brother also reminds you that when you encounter a living door, don't go in. ”

Before the words fell, he suddenly ran towards the gate of the palace, the speed was like divine help, in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the gate of the palace, waved his hand to the back, and did not see him push open the palace door, and walked in like that.

Cheng Ming was stunned, and saw a ripple flash at the palace door, and the man in black disappeared, he hurriedly followed, and when he walked to the door, he hesitated slightly, and then raised his legs and stepped over.

As soon as he stepped through the gate, Cheng Ming had the same experience as using the teleportation array before. I felt as if I had entered another from one dimension, and the scenery in front of me changed. I saw that this was not the interior of the palace at all, but a wilderness, and there was no scorching sun overhead, but a crescent moon.

Seeing this, Cheng Ming hurriedly looked behind him, but the original gate had disappeared, as if he had appeared here out of thin air.

Cheng Ming sensed the surroundings with his divine thoughts, and what made him a little surprised and apprehensive in his heart was that the range of his divine thoughts at this time was only about four hundred meters, which was one-tenth of what he had just now.

In addition to the divine thoughts, he sensed the aura around him again, and found that although the aura here was similar to the outside, the yin qi was very heavy, and if such an aura was absorbed too much, it would definitely affect the body.

"Could it be that I'm coming to the Netherworld?" Cheng Ming thought, and then, his face changed, because just after a while, he obviously felt that his body temperature was lower. This made him realize that he couldn't stay here for long, and he had to find a way out as soon as possible.

Cheng Ming hurriedly looked around and found that there were lights about a mile away from him, and they were not on one side, but in all directions.

Cheng Ming paused, then ran towards the west, and after a while, he saw a large lantern with the big black character "surprise" written on the lantern. After a moment's thought, he thought of the eight gates in metaphysics.

The eight gates refer to rest, life, injury, Du, scenery, death, shock, and opening.

Generally speaking, the three auspicious gates of opening, resting and living, the three murder doors of death, shock and injury, Du Gate and Jingmen Zhongping, but when using them, they must also look at Linhe Palace and Wang Xiang to rest the prisoners. The ancients had a song that said: Jimen is not allowed to be defeated by Jimen, and Jimen cannot afford to be defeated; Jimen has great benefits in life, and it is difficult to avoid disasters when Jimen is born. Jimenke Palace is not good, and the murder Menke Palace is even more fierce.

Looking at it now, it is likely that this is the formation arranged according to the eight gates in metaphysics.

For Cheng Ming, Bamen is very familiar, but when combined with the formation, it is a bit blind. However, he has a simple method, divination and prediction of good fortune and evil.

After a while, he looked at the hexagram, smiled slightly, and said in his heart: "It seems that the guy is right, this is likely to be an upside-down formation." To live is to die, and to die is to live. ”

Thinking of this, he strode over where the lantern was.

Not long after Cheng Ming entered, the monks who came later also entered this somewhat strange space one by one. Soon, they all made the same discovery, and they were all nervous for a while.

But now that they have come in, they can't think about it, so they can only choose a direction based on their own feelings and thoughts.

Lu Siyi took the men and horses of the Red Moon Sect around and asked, "Which of you knows the formation?"

One of the people standing behind the red-faced monk raised his hand: "I know a little bit about it, but there is no reference here at all, and I can't calculate which one is the real life." ”

"Isn't that a reference?" Lu Siyi pointed to the moon and a few shining stars on her head.

The man was stunned, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Please forgive me for being a shallow learner." ”

Yang Qiu opened his mouth and said, "Lu Simei, time is pressing, if you can crack this formation, please let me know as soon as possible." ”

"I'm sure I don't have what it takes to crack this formation. ”

These words made everyone's expressions a little sluggish, Lu Siyi smiled, took out a chubby insect with a smile, and said, "However, I have a third-order Jiji insect here, with its help to choose, there will definitely be no problem." ”

As she spoke, she let the Ji Ji insect sense it, and then said excitedly: "Let's just choose this place." ”

There was some doubt in Yang Qiu's eyes: "Lu Simei, this is the injured door of the three murderous sects, is there really no problem?"

Lu Siyi saw that everyone was a little suspicious on their faces, and looked very dissatisfied, and pouted: "Of course it's no problem, since you don't want to go in, then I'll go in alone." ”

With that, she stepped over the lantern and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

Yang Qiu was a little caught off guard, and at this time, the cruelty in his eyes was even worse, and he said expressionlessly: "You can act according to your own ideas, I don't force it." ”

With these words, he also stepped over the lantern. It is definitely impossible to say that he is willing, how many people will be willing to give his life to a worm? But as Lu Siyi's nominal bodyguard, he didn't dare not follow in, otherwise if something happened to Lu Siyi, he would not be able to eat far away.

After Yang Qiu left, the rest of the people looked at each other, and finally some people followed, and some people still expressed doubts about the results given by the Ji Ji Worm, so they chose other directions. (To be continued.) )
