Chapter 15 The Legend of the Kingdom of Yatai
So, Li Mo smiled and said, "The third master invites, go from now on." ”
The group turned around and reached a deeper valley, surrounded by unfinished buildings, and just in front of a hill at the edge of the valley there was a cavity that had collapsed, and a breath of mist was released from it.
"Third master, please come with me. ”
Lin Taiqiu said and went down to the cave first.
Li Mo followed the group into the cave, and inside the entrance of the cave was an artificially paved road, with green jade as bricks, revealing a dark blue light.
After walking for a long time, the road gradually widened, and I came to a large stone gate.
It is said that it is a stone gate, but in fact, it is more reasonable to describe it as a stone wall, which is only a part of the wall, tightly closed, and the shape of the wall is like one.
The whole stone wall is hundreds of zhang long, there are also 100 zhang high, with the seventh-grade black blue stone as the material, with the "concave and convex" two kinds of brick inlay, its surface is also uneven, forming a large piece of strange patterns, like a pattern, just like a kind of text.
Su Sanye fixed his eyes, then brushed his beard and smiled: "Sure enough, this is really the relic of the Litai Kingdom." ”
"...... of the country" Li Mo heard it clearly, and he understood it at once.
No wonder Su Sanye, an inner official, came here, it turned out that this ruin was unusual, and everyone was taken aback when they heard this, and they couldn't help but whisper.
Eight thousand years ago, the earth was full of powers, and in the area of Yanshan now, there are more than a dozen princes of large and small kingdoms who have ceded land abroad.
Among them, there is a country called Litai Kingdom, although this country is small, but the people are brave and good at fighting, even if the surrounding powers are numerous, but it has been multiplying for more than 500 years.
At that time, it also occupied a place in the land of Xuanmen, and established a sect called the Litai Sect.
The last suzerain was Helian Tai, the crown prince of the Litai Kingdom, who gave up the succession to the throne and devoted himself to the Heavenly Dao, and reached the spiritual realm with his genius for thirty years, which was rumored to be a strange story for a while.
However, the Litai Sect did not become prosperous because of Heliantai, but quickly disappeared into the world, and then the sect was empty, and there were no traces, leaving a puzzle that had plagued the world for thousands of years.
Now in this remote valley, the ruins of the Litai Sect were suddenly discovered, which naturally attracted people's attention.
"Speaking of which, this place belongs to the scope of the Litai Sect, could this relic be their treasure house?" Guan Baichen said, touching his chin.
"No, this is a mausoleum. ”
Su Sanye said firmly.
"Mausoleum?" the crowd was surprised again.
Su Sanye explained: "The old man is very interested in the Litai Sect, so he also has in-depth research, this concave and convex stone wall is a mausoleum brick, and from the masonry materials and the scale of the tomb wall here, most of them are royal tombs. ”
"Could this be Helentai's mausoleum?"
Guan Baichen suddenly became interested.
Su Sanye said: "The Litai Sect inherited the royal rules of its mortal country, and the royal family will be buried in the same cemetery after death, so it stands to reason that there is not only Helian Tai in this royal tomb, but also the royal family members including the ancestors of the founding mountain of the Litai Sect should be buried here." ”
"Then if we can get in, maybe we can solve the mystery of the fall of the Litai Sect. Li Mo was also interested.
Su Sanye nodded, and Lin Taiqiu and other Fang City officials became excited.
That is, the tomb of the royal family, which naturally contains heavy treasures, such a discovery can be described as a great achievement for the sect, if things go smoothly, it is possible to enter the inner gate.
At this time, Su Sanye said: "There must be a lot of machinery in the royal tomb, Brother Taiqiu is waiting outside." ”
"Yes. Lin Taiqiu hurriedly responded.
At this time, Su Sanye walked forward and walked slowly along the tomb wall.
In the corner of the team, Li Mo squinted his eyes slightly, perceiving that it easily covered the entire tomb wall, and then immediately came up with an answer.
Inside the curtain wall are various fine but hard parts to form a linkage device, in addition to the hidden pillars, the formation and mechanism are combined into one, which makes it much more difficult to open the tomb door.
But with Li Mo's current attainments as a formation master, in a flash, he had thought of at least ten ways to crack the tomb door.
Half an hour later, Su Sanye finally made a move, he flicked the ring, and there were more three-foot-long thin swords in his hands, and then the thin swords seemed to be randomly pierced into the stone cracks in the tomb wall.
Then, he clasped his hands together and shouted, "Get up!"
More than a dozen thin swords immediately emitted a strong thunderous light, which quickly spread to the entire tomb wall.
"Good!"
Li Mo could see it clearly, and couldn't help but praise it in a low voice.
Su Sanye used the formation to deal with the formation, and first used the formation to paralyze the formation in the tomb wall, this hand was bold and accurate, showing the demeanor of a master.
Then, Su Sanye pressed one hand on the tomb door, and between his five fingers, the true qi seeped into the tomb wall.
He frowned and said nothing, even if he was a cultivator in the late stage of the Heavenly Dome Realm, it was not so easy to perceive the structure within the entire tomb wall.
Guan Baichen, Su Siwu and the others also stood still, not daring to disturb in the slightest.
In contrast, Li Mo seemed much more leisurely, and had cracked the entire tomb wall more than ten times in his mind.
On his shoulders, the six eyes of the Six-Eyed Condor swirled.
At his feet, Xiao Hei in the shape of a big black dog squatted on the ground.
Snowball used the big black dog's head as a nest, lying comfortably on it, and let out a meow from time to time.
After a few moments, there was a slight vibration on the tomb wall, and then the tomb door opened.
"The third master is amazing!"
Su Siwu immediately praised.
Su Sanye said solemnly: "This introductory magic circle alone is not ordinary, everyone must be very careful after entering." ”
"Let your subordinates take the lead. Su Siwu then recommended himself.
Su Sanye nodded, and asked Li Mo again: "Little Brother Li is with me, don't stay too far away." ”
Li Mo smiled slightly and nodded.
So Su Siwu led a few people to take the lead, Li Mo followed Su Sanye, Guan Baichen and others in the center, and behind them was a group of guards.
Walking into the tomb door is a long corridor, at this time the underground palace is also gradually seeing the scale, the corridor is as big as a cave hall, enough for 100 people to walk together.
The dark floor is made of three-color tin ore, and the two walls are hung with everlasting lanterns, and after walking forward, magnificent pictures begin to appear on the stone walls.
One side of the picture scroll depicts the magnificent scenery of the Yatai Sect in a rough way, the mountain of the spiritual mountain, the buildings are grouped, the mountain has the spirit beast running, and the sky has flying cranes and auspicious clouds.
On the one hand, it depicts the life of the royal family in Xuanmen with fine brushwork, which is different from the luxury deliberately rendered by the royal family of Fantu, and here it highlights more of the suffering of Xuanmen's cultivation.
The two are reflected, giving people a mysterious feeling.
While admiring the scrolls, the group seemed cautious, and no one knew whether there was a murderous motive hidden in these scrolls.
Only Li Mo's perception extended early, and he arrived at a distance that everyone could not penetrate, where there were hidden mechanisms, where there were hidden formations, and they were all clear.
The passage was unblocked, and the road was unobstructed, and then it came to another stone gate.
The stone gate is 500 zhang high, like a hill standing, and the picture of the nine dragons fighting for pearls is engraved on it with the method of yang carving.
On both sides of the stone gate, there are two 300-zhang tall giant god sculptures, dressed in armor, wearing a golden crown, each holding a long axe staggered in front of the door, four eyes glaring, making the atmosphere suddenly become murderous and hidden.
Su Siwu suddenly raised his hand, and everyone stopped.
Su Sanye walked in front, his eyes fell in front of the stone gate sculpture, and then he slid down and fell to the ground in front of the stone gate.
The three-hundred-zhang long ground is still paved with three-color tin ore, but it exudes a faint glazed color compared to the previous ground, and it is exactly a hundred bricks when you count it.
"Hundred moves chess game!"
Su Sanye broke through the magic circle hidden under the ground in one mouth.
Li Mo nodded slightly, the people in the inner gate of the Yanhuang Gate were indeed unusual.
There is a formation hidden at the end of the entire corridor, in order to let people relax their vigilance, and then deal with the intruder with one move.
Moreover, this formation is hidden deep underground, which is extremely difficult to detect, but it still does not hide from everyone's ears and eyes.
And this hundred-step chess game formation is also the most tricky of the seventh-class formation, the stone bricks on the ground are divided into two parts: living chess and dead chess, once stepping on the dead chess, the whole will be sucked into the ground, and suffer heavy damage in an instant.
The most terrifying thing is that after entering the formation, you have to walk step by step.
The periphery of each square is full of dead pieces on two or even three sides, and with each move, the positions of the live and dead pieces are reversed, so that whether you move forward or backward, you need to think carefully.
"Third master, I'll come first. ”
Su Siwu said in a deep voice.
Su Sanye nodded slightly, obviously knowing his abilities very well.
So, Su Siwu took the lead and stepped into the formation in one step.
After a slight pause, he immediately walked to another grid, and so step by step, the speed was even and unchanged, and a pillar of incense arrived perfectly under the stone gate.
Then, a line of guards walked in one by one.
Although each one has a cautious expression, the next step is very decisive.
Li Mo couldn't help but nod slightly, these people seem to have attained some knowledge of the formation, otherwise it is impossible to walk through the chess formation without making mistakes, this alone is stronger than the people of Wuji Sect, and it really makes sense that Yanhuangmen can become an emperor-level Xuanmen.
It didn't take long for only Li Mo and Su Sanye to remain.
"Little Brother Li listens to my command, don't worry, I'll keep you safe. Su Sanye said.
Li Mo smiled faintly and said, "Don't bother the third master, this formation is still difficult for me." ”
"Oh, Little Brother Li still has research on the formation?" Su Sanye looked surprised.
"A little dabbling. ”
Li Mo smiled slightly, lifted Xiao Hei with one hand, and walked into the formation.
The snowball climbed down his clothes and landed on top of his head, meowing.
Li Mo walked step by step like flowing water, his movements were not fast or slow, as if he was strolling leisurely, and he quickly walked to the door.
Guan Baichen and the others were dumbfounded, and the time for the young man to pass through the formation was twice as fast as their passing speed.
Seeing this scene, Su Sanye couldn't help but laugh happily: "It's that I underestimate Little Brother Li, this is a little involved, it is clearly the way of the formation." ”
After that, he just stepped into the formation, and his speed was not slower than Li Mo.
Of course, Li Mo deliberately slowed down because he was hiding his cultivation, otherwise, he would be able to pass the formation in an instant.
