Chapter 23

There were a few trials and errors before, and they followed the marks engraved on the tomb passage before. This time they went farther, but they did not escape the bad luck of encountering a fork in the road again.

Three small roads leading to different directions appeared in front of them. The three of them stood silently at the fork in the road. No one moved for a long time. It was really scary in the darkness.

Xie Yi moved closer to Shen Ye, took his wrist and squeezed it gently, and comforted him with little confidence: "A Ye, calm down, maybe our luck is not so bad this time..."

Distraught, Shen Ye returned his elbow, stretched out his arm and pointed forward: "Xie Yi, can't we tear down the walls that separate the fork?"

Xie Yi was startled when he heard the words, and quickly pressed the chain sword in Shen Ye's hand that was about to move: "A Ye, don't mess around, the underground structure of the desert is loose, and the tomb passage is all supported by the armor material, how can you dismantle it if you want?" If the load-bearing wall is destroyed, the entire tomb will collapse."

Shen Ye squinted at him, and said coldly: "You mean, we can only go around in circles in your apprentice's tomb. If we are lucky, we will choose the right way to pass, and if we are not lucky, we will start over again?"

After tossing back and forth with various institutions in the tomb passage all night, Shen Ye had already run out of patience, and was getting more and more fed up with the sudden change of his apprentice, only regretting that he was too soft-hearted and didn't teach him a lesson, now that he has been reincarnated, he can't even find a target for revenge Therefore, this account had to be discounted and charged to Master Xie Yi.

Xie Yi hesitated and said, "This...maybe we can find a better way."

Shen Ye frowned and smiled, and asked in a shameless way: "The checkpoint is approaching, what can I do?"

Xie Yi had no choice but to let out a low sigh and raise his hand to his forehead: "I'm thinking about it."

Shen Ye squinted his eyes and looked at him with a half-smile, and once again uttered a single syllable from the depths of his throat: "Heh."

Twelve touched the half mask on his face, regretfully feeling that the shielding effect of this thing is really very little.

After the meaningless conversation between Xie and Chen came to an end, Twelve said quietly: "Don't worry, my lords, I seem to have found a clue, it wasn't very clear before, I dare not jump to conclusions, It's basically confirmed now.

Xie Yi and Shen Ye turned their heads together, four eyes focused on Twelve's face at the same time, Twelve felt flustered for no reason, subconsciously touched the mask on his face again, lowered his head, coughed softly, and continued. : "There seems to be an extremely powerful flow of spiritual power buried under the tomb passage, and the correct path we took to get here happens to be in the same direction as the flow of spiritual power."

Shen Ye and Xie Yi looked at each other, and they both saw puzzled expressions in each other's eyes.

Xie Yi was puzzled and said: "The illusions and organs in this tomb rely on spiritual power to operate. Both Aye and I have noticed that there is spiritual power left in the tomb, but its power is very weak and loose, difficult to grasp. Twelve, are you How to judge that there is a flow of spiritual power in the tomb, and determine its direction?"

Twelve smiled slightly and explained: "I have raised some Gu worms that feed on spiritual power. They are extremely sensitive to spiritual power. As soon as they entered the tomb, these Gu worms became active. The more restless they are, if they go the wrong way, the Gu worms will calm down a little bit. We went back and forth in the tomb several times, and the Gu worms reacted in the same way. From this, we can speculate that there may be a spiritual power flow underground. , and this kind of Gu worm happens to be able to identify the direction of flow, I release the Gu worm, maybe it can lead us the way.

Twelve spread out his right hand, and a green beetle the size of a fingernail appeared in his palm. Looking carefully, the beetle's body was actually transparent, filled with unknown juice, and shone with a faint green light in the darkness.The Gu worm turned around in the twelve palms in a daze, and after a while, it hurriedly crawled towards the little finger. Twelve palms turned over, and the Gu worm rolled back to the palm with its belly upturned. It swung its slender legs and turned over with difficulty. Come, restlessly and persistently climb along the same path.

The poor guy struggled to get to his fingertips, Twelve clasped his palms together and turned to the left road: "This way."

They didn't make a mistake this time.

In this way, it becomes much easier to move forward. If you encounter a fork in the road, you only need to release the beetle and do multiple-choice questions.

The spiritual power flow hidden in the ground has been confirmed, and the purpose of the lead wires and spirit guide plugs embedded in the armor egg is clear at a glance. They are buried deep in the ground, and the spiritual power is continuously transmitted upwards. It is no wonder that after a thousand years, the tomb The illusions and mechanisms in the game are still on the verge of breaking out, so tyrannical.

The previous question was answered, but more mysteries came up again, which made Xie Yi puzzled. He looked sideways and saw Shen Ye walking beside him with an expressionless face, and the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, as if Be thoughtful.

Xie Yi stretched his finger to the side and touched the back of Shen Ye Weiliang's hand, and asked, "Aye, how did you say that this underground spiritual power flow came from, and how could it be found by Wuyi?"

"I don't know how he found it, but his luck is really amazing." Shen Ye frowned slightly, shook his head and sighed: "Thousands of years have been searched for for thousands of years, but I don't want to be found by your apprentice. .”

"Lingmai?" It was the first time Xie Yi heard of it, and he repeated it in a low voice with novelty, and asked: "What is that?"

"At the beginning of the ancient times, Pangu used his teeth as an axe to split the chaos. The yang and qing became the sky, and the turbidity became the earth. The heaven and the earth began to divide. It is said that the clean qi is light and clean, rising slowly, while the turbid qi is stagnant and viscous, and settles quickly. When the two are separated, part of the clear air is wrapped in the turbid air, buried deep underground, forming a "spiritual vein". This is just an ancient legend. No one has ever found a spiritual vein for thousands of years. If I didn't witness it myself, I would never It's hard to believe that the 'Lingmai' really exists."

Xie Yi's love for legends of ghosts and monsters has never diminished since ancient times. He listened to Shen Ye's eloquence and was fascinated. ?”

Shen Ye snorted coldly: "Only Le Wuyi from a thousand years ago can answer you. If you want to know, you might as well dig him up from the grave and ask."

Xie Yi was so choked by him that he couldn't speak, thinking sullenly, once Le Wuyi was mentioned, Shen Ye would unconsciously taunt and taunt with all his attributes. Thousands of years ago, Wuyi was always bullied by Shen Ye. Lifting his chin and curling his lips into a sneer, he showed a standard mocking face, and after two or three sentences, he would be as happy as he was, jumping up and down, now that the live target was not in front of him, Shen Ye's mouth gun had no target, so he turned a corner Come on yourself.

If there is substance to the rhetoric, after continuous bombing all night, he has been lying down with gun holes all over his body, and it is estimated that drinking water can be spilled from all directions.

Xie Yi felt depressingly that his knee would not heal well, and he decided that after he went back, he would definitely make Le Wuyi fail in the final exam.

The scale of the tomb passage was beyond imagination. They took two breaks in the middle and took a nap for half an hour to replenish their strength. After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally reached the end of the tomb passage.

A stone door blocked the only way to the tomb, and the exposed wires climbed up the stone door densely, and finally converged on the six spirit guide plugs embedded in the top, each of which has spiritual energy condensed The giant lock on his back was buckled upside down, firmly grasping the stone door.Six strands of lead wire separated from the bottom of the spirit guide bolt, led to a small room on the left side of the road, and circled the center of the ground to form a magic circle.

Eyes full of aura, blazing like a scorching sun.

"This is?" Twelve couldn't help being amazed when he saw this wonderful sight, he raised his hand to touch the stone gate, but Xie Yi rushed forward and stopped Twelve with his arms crossed.

"Don't touch it," Xie Yi took out the monocle from his jacket pocket and put it on his right eye, and looked up at the spirit guide bolt on the top: "These lead wires have their own order and rules, and moving them rashly may cause a short circuit... Let me see first look."

"Yes." Twelve nodded, and took two steps back to make room for Xie Yi.

Xie Yi carefully inspected the lines on the stone gate from bottom to top, looked at the spirit guide plug filled with spiritual light and pondered for a while, then walked to the door of the small room on the left side of the tomb passage and looked down at the magic circle. He looked up and grabbed the huge lock on the Shimen.

Xie Yi seemed to have figured out the result. Looking back at Shen Ye, he smiled and asked an irrelevant question: "A Ye, from your point of view, how is this spiritual power lock set?"

Shen Ye commented unceremoniously: "The formation is not bad, but it's messy and disorderly, without any sense of beauty. Fortunately, there is such a pure and vigorous spiritual power available. It's really a waste of money."

"So, Ah Ye knows how to crack it?"

"..." Shen Ye was taken aback by his question, remained silent for half a second, and said with a calm face, "If I knew, what would I need you for?"

Xie Yi couldn't help laughing out loud. Facing Shen Ye's unkind eyes, he suppressed his smile and restrained his expression, and said solemnly: "This spiritual power lock is not surprising. The only connection point is the spirit guide bolt at the top. , as long as the spirit guide plug is destroyed, it can be broken, but it is no different from laying out a large number of wires, and sending a large amount of spiritual power to the spirit guide plug at the same time. If it is destroyed rashly, it will cause an explosion. The impact caused by such a large-scale spiritual power shock , the tomb passage can’t bear it at all, and it will definitely cause a large-scale collapse.”

Shen Ye listened patiently, tapped his arms with his fingers in turn, closed his eyes and did not speak.

Twelve eyes turned around the faces of the two of them, and asked anxiously: "Master Po Jun, you mean that the end of the tomb passage is actually... a dead end?"

Xie Yi held the monocle down calmly: "It does look like that."

Twelve opened his mouth slightly, his throat seemed to be stuck and he couldn't make a sound, his face turned white instantly.

In other words, they came all the way here for nothing? !

Twelve's mind was buzzing, he felt his feet shaking, he felt that the world was about to turn upside down, and there was a miniature version of himself kneeling down and beating the wall in his heart.

Shen Ye suddenly reached out and pinched one side of Xie Yi's face, regardless of Xie Yi's exclamation for mercy, he twisted half a turn before letting go, and said unbearably: "Don't be a joke, finish your sentence."

ha? !

Twelve looked at the two of them, staring blankly at the unexpected development in front of him, and the villain who was digging the wall with his bare hands in his heart also froze.

Xie Yi rubbed a small piece of red skin on his face, and complained with a wry smile: "I don't think Ah Ye and Twelve are very energetic, but it's just to adjust the atmosphere..."

Shen Ye interrupted coolly: "You frightened Twelve."

"Cough..." Xie Yi turned to Twelve, his face full of sincerity and impeccable: "I'm very sorry."

In a blink of an eye, he looked at Shen Ye who clearly said 'You're so boring' on his face, and then at Xie Yi who smiled apologetically with gentle brows, the corners of his mouth twitched, and after a while he let out a dry "ha".

The way the Pojun Priest adjusts the atmosphere is really special, hahahaha...ha...

...Is there still time for me to go back to Longbing Island?

Seeing that Xie Yi kept pressing the part of his face that had just been wrung with his hands, Shen Ye felt regretful that he had acted harder, and took the initiative to go over and pull Xie Yi's face to help him rub it. Seeing him, Shen Ye couldn't hold back immediately, and hastily rubbed a few times withdrew his hand, pressing with a serious expression: "So, how to unlock this spiritual power lock?"

Xie Yi still looked at Shen Ye without blinking an eye, and slowly said: "The lead wire is separated from the spirit guide bolt separately, and the spiritual power is diverted to the other side to support the formation. When the formation is loose, most of the spiritual power will be automatically used. The eye-destroying illusion has collapsed, and the spiritual power in the spirit plug is the weakest, and at this time, destroying six spirit plugs at the same time can break the spiritual power lock, and it will not cause an explosion and cause the tomb to collapse."

Shen Ye frowned when he heard half of it, and asked immediately after Xie Yi finished speaking: "Your apprentice can clearly design it as an impenetrable dead end, but deliberately left a loophole, what is his intention?"

"In order to prevent accidents, Yanshi will leave room for making organs, but without exception, they will try their best to hide the flaws to prevent them from being cracked. It is the same as doing the opposite. I think there is only one possibility, that is to leave No one but him can break through the 'flaw' circle, so he put it in such a conspicuous position, and it is also the last warning and deterrent to intruders."

The corner of Shen Ye's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with great interest: "Your apprentice is too confident, just like you said that any mechanism has flaws, and the magic circle is the same. I have never seen an unbreakable magic circle. You have to teach yourself."

Xie Yi smiled and nodded: "This is the last mechanism of the tomb passage, and I would like to see it too. Then I will trouble Twelve for the outside things."

Twelve took over the conversation graciously: "Don't worry, my lords."

Along the way, the level of danger of the organs in the tomb has gradually increased. At first, it was just a fantasy without lethality, but later it was an organ designed to hurt people's lives. In the end, the magic circle used to guard the tomb door must be very important. Summoned wood spirits to support the tomb passage to prevent landslides caused by spiritual power shocks. Shen Ye was especially worried that unpredictable dangers would appear outside after touching the magic circle. , Evacuate immediately without delay."

Twelve hurriedly took a step forward: "Master High Priest, I can't—"

Shen Ye interrupted in a deep voice: "Both Xie Yi and I have the ability to protect ourselves and take care of each other. On the contrary, it is more dangerous for you to be alone. So if you find danger, you don't need to worry about us, and try to escape."

Xie Yi put one hand on Twelve's shoulders, and added with a relaxed smile: "Ah Ye is right, if something unexpected happens, you should go back to the entrance of the tomb first, and we will come to meet you later, that's the deal."

"But..." Twelve still wanted to argue, but he had no choice but to give up when he met the resolute eyes of the two men, and bowed his body with his right hand on his chest.

"I understand. The two adults, please be more careful."
