Chapter 402
After an afternoon of trekking, eight people arrived at the mountainside on the other side of Bashan, where the Luofeng Sect in Beidu was located when it was dark.
From the time I climbed over the top and went down, everyone felt that the back of the spine was chilly. The closer I got to the mountainside, the heavier the yin energy. When I approached near the mountainside, the quietness in the woods was silent, and the falling needles could be heard, and the sound of insects could not be heard at night.
After walking for a short while, Lin Xianjing stopped and stopped everyone's movement. After observing his feelings, he led the seven people to move sideways, sneaked around for a while, and stopped again after a small hillside, saying:
"You can't move forward any further. The Luofeng Sect in Beidu has set up a formation in front. It is very strong, very gloomy and dirty. The yin evil spirit is extremely heavy. Breaking in directly will trigger the formation to call the alarm."
Needless to say, everyone had gathered their true energy at this time to resist the yin and cold power emitted by the formation.
It's a bit tricky.
They are here to attack, not forcefully.
The first reason is that the eight people have limited strength and they are not able to attack a sect; the second reason is that they still want to try to rescue the pair of boys and girls who were kidnapped by the other party for a while, and rash attacks are not conducive to saving people.
Hua Lanting thought for a moment, released the Eight-Polar Array Spirit Misty and the Chameleon Lizard, and ordered these two to sneak into the ground to see if they could find a way to get in.
After a while, the little mist came out to reward him. It told Hua Lanting that the road was blocked because the underground formation was only stronger than the ground, and the yin energy was extremely strong. Even if the formation spirit and the dragon lizard jointly used the maze formation, they could only disguise for a while, and it would inevitably be exposed over time.
Yi Liunian grinned when he heard this: "As such a powerful formation? The Baji Formation Spirit is helpless, and the dragon lizard's illusion can't deceive you?"
The dragon lizard shook its tail and said, "In the extreme yin land, I can still hide in the outer area of the formation, and I can't get into the central area, so it's even worse if I take you with me."
"No wonder Taoist Bai Chi is looking for boys and girls. He wants to use the boy's yang energy to suppress the formation, otherwise the yin energy here will rush out and overflow, which will easily attract other people's attention."
"You eight of you are practicing the authentic Taoist sect's mysterious skills, and everyone has more or less refined the power of thunder. If you enter the formation directly, your current cultivation level cannot completely lock your breath and not leak out. In the formation, it will be like a bright light in the dark night, and your whereabouts will be revealed immediately."
Could it be that I can only break through the battle openly?
After examining the items you carry, there is really no magic weapon or means to quietly enter this formation.
"If we don't have it ourselves..." Lin Xianjing turned his eyes to Hua Lanting.
Hua Lanting slapped Yi Liunian's forehead beside him: "I understand. I forgot if you don't say it, let me take a look."
Yi Liunian: "Brother, don't you have to shoot flower pictures at me if you think of anything."
Hua Lanting took out the brocade box given to him by the old Taoist Chong Yin, and Yuanshi explored it into the jade slip inside and read it.
After a while, he was overjoyed: "It's indeed a good baby, I think it's OK."
"The concave and convex beads are collected and refined by a variety of yang and yin evil spirits in the world. They are placed in two hemispheres, and can be separated and closed. The concave beads can form a yin energy shield, both offensive and defense. We can use this object to penetrate deep into the formation."
Hua Lanting activated the concave hemisphere as described in the jade slip. He first tried to step into the edge of the formation by himself. After the test effect was good, he wrapped everyone with a shield and sneaked into the formation.
The inside of the formation is still extremely gloomy, but the terrain tends to be flat, with trees and lush grass.
Fortunately, the yin energy inside is very complex, and the energy emitted by the shield is regarded as a similar attribute by the formation, so no alarm is issued.
Everyone walked carefully in the shield for a while and found that it was also terriblely quiet and there were no guards. When they accelerated and walked onto the mountain road, there was still no trace of people. It was still the case until they passed through the official mountain gate of the Luofeng Sect in Beidu.
There were some scattered houses along the way, and there were also no one inside. Although everyone was surprised, they could only continue to move forward.
After passing the third mountain gate, they entered the central area, but they still did not encounter any obstacles.
The central area is not large and is surrounded by tall walls outside. Due to the mountainous conditions, the walls are round. They can see the walls at high places under the dim starlight.
They didn't dare to act rashly, so they walked along the wall for a while and saw a gate with two opens open. Looking inside, there were rows of mountain houses and temples, still silent.
There is a stone-carved dragon head above the gate, which is constantly spitting out the yin energy from the dragon's mouth and radiating to the outside.
After walking for a while, I found the second gate. It was the same situation. It seemed that the dragon heads on the entrance gates of the ring-shaped wall were providing energy for the formation.
Yi Liunian whispered: "What's the situation? Are all the people from the Luofeng Gang in Beidu dead? An empty city."
No one answered, and after discussing it, everyone decided to go in through the gate in a grand manner.
After passing the door, the pressure on the aura on my body lightened, and there was no yin energy inside. It was normal.
Carefully dissipate the shield, there was indeed no problem.
Some halls have candlelights coming out, and everyone walks through the dark night light. When passing through the candlelight, they find that there is still no one inside after reconnaissance.
The situation is very strange.
Although there was no yin energy, everyone felt even more nervous.
I have been exploring the core position, and there is a huge three-story square platform, which looks like an altar.
From the steps to the highest point, everyone could see things at night with their eyesight. This was really shocked.
This is a real altar.
The top of the flat platform is densely packed with human bones!
There is almost no place to get off.
Yes, they are all skeletons, not dead bodies with flesh and blood.
After walking around the corner, Yi Liunian took a few broken pieces of clothes from the air, with a sign embroidered on it.
This logo they have seen on the clothes of the Song Yindao Niang, and is a logo of the Sky Gate.
As expected, the Taoist couple Impulse and Chong Cave must have died here.
With a sigh, the corpse was hard to distinguish. Hua Lanting tried to grab the fragments of clothes of similar colors and textures nearby and put them away so that when returning the concave and merging beads in the future, he handed them over to the old Taoist Chongyin.
Yi Liunian spat: "What the hell is this place, it's quite scary. I look at the rest of it, but it's just a ghost town with no living people."
Hua Lanting said: "Maybe you are really right. The Taoist classic "The Supreme Xuanyuan Three Heavens Jade Hall Great Method" says: Northern Capital Luofeng is an evil domain."
Lin Xianjing was observing the surroundings. He could see the surrounding environment on the high platform. He shook his head and said, "Liu Nian, don't underestimate this place."
"Don't you think it seems messy, but it is actually orderly, implying the way of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams. There are nine Longkou City Gate on the outer wall, and the inner part is the shape of the eight eighty and sixty-four hexagrams."
"Whether this formation was inherited by Taoist Bai Chi or arranged by himself, it is very important. The evil person is an evil person, and this formation itself is indeed exquisite."
"In my opinion, something big should have happened in the Luofeng Gang of Beidu, otherwise it would not have been like this."
"And, the center of gravity of this array should be underground. Didn't the formation spirit say that the yin energy underground is even stronger and even with its power, it would not dare to go deeper. This means that the level of the formation is above level eight."
“It might be that there is any important event or major ritual being held underground.”
Yi Liunian asked: "What should we do now? Can you break it?"
"We can't break this level of formation, but since we are here, we must go in and take a look." Lin Xianjing took out a compass, turned around and started to calculate.
After a while, Lin Xianjing led everyone down to a small door on the second floor of the high platform: "This is the Tai Chi point of the altar, it should be the entrance to the underground palace."
Hua Lanting asked: "How to get in? Can you estimate the approximate risks?"
Lin Xianjing shook his head: "I don't know the specifics. But there must be various restrictions when going down. If you know the path and traps of the mechanism, or if you have to have tokens in your hands, it will naturally be fine, so we will have to explore."
"If everyone agrees to go in, they can only take one step at a time. This formation is extremely powerful. In addition to the techniques I have learned to break the formation, it depends more on the on-the-spot pre-existing luck."
Hua Lanting nodded thoughtfully.
No one spoke, it was obvious that no one was retreating.
Yi Liunian said anxiously: "What are you waiting for? Xian Jing, how should you open the first door?"
Lin Xian shrugged: "I just said that the ferocity of the formation is beyond our strength, so it is more of a natural first reaction at the moment."
Yi Liunian was puzzled, so he immediately acted and kicked out: "Brother usually opens the door like this."
He also knew that this was unreliable and did not really kick it at the door.
Hua Lanting stepped forward, lightly pulled the door knocker three times, and sang: "Is there anyone inside? If there is no one, I will push the door and enter."
Then he pushed it, and the small door creaked open.
Yi Liunian glared at Lin Xian with a shocked look.
Lin Xian chuckled in shock and said, "This is a system that can make you tease and relieve your tension."
Everyone entered one after another and walked down the passage.
Not long after, I encountered the first pass when I was about to reach a position parallel to the ground.
There was no way in front of everyone, and there was a huge light curtain, with radiance and various hexagrams flashing from time to time.
Hua Lanting said: "Xian Jing, come on this, I don't know how many chances there will be."
Lin Xianjing pretended not to be nervous before, but in fact he was under a lot of pressure. At least before entering the underground palace safely, most of the safety of their group was tied to him.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and pointed his fingers to calculate. After a long time, he did not get any results. This formation was indeed beyond his control of his strength at this time.
Hua Lanting believed that Lin Xianjing was not due to insufficient ability, but his cultivation level was less than the energy level of the formation light curtain.
He waved it casually and patted it lightly above Lin Xianjing's head, and then a "Data Light Waterfall" appeared out of thin air.
On the one hand, he used his own skills to deduce Lin Xianjing. On the other hand, after the formation of the Boshan Dan Furnace, he was able to temporarily "lent" the transformed tool such as "Data Light Waterfall" to Lin Xianjing for use.
With the help of Hua Lanting, coupled with the data light waterfall invented by Feng Huolun, which can perform complex calculations and analysis at high speed, Lin Xianjing finally opened his eyes and pointed out with one point.
The light curtain suddenly stopped, and a hexagram was enlarged and stopped in front of everyone.
Lin Xian looked at it in surprise and said, "It's it."
Yi Liunian was half-believing and half-doubted: "Brother, why do I look like a coffin? It's not auspicious, right?"
Lin Xian said in surprise: "This is the Daguo hexagram among the sixty-four hexagrams of Fuxi. There is a broken Yin line between the upper and lower, and four Yang lines between the middle."
"You are right. The Daguo hexagram is like a coffin board. The four continuous solid lines in the middle look like dead people, lying straight and unelastic. The Yin lines at both ends are like four nails nailed down."
