Chapter 22 Ground Patterns
Being stared at by everyone, Qian Banxian shrank his neck and said, "Everyone has misunderstood. I am not tricking Du Chengjin, but also to test the pattern of danger."
"Are you still making excuses?" Hu Zhensong said angrily.
It was difficult to offend people when they were angry. Qian Banxian quickly explained: "Actually, I thought of it when the little Taoist Qingyang said the first sentence. Whether it was Hu Zhenheng or the leopard, they seemed to have stepped on each other when something went wrong. There were stones with patterns on them. Later, Du Chengjin stepped on the blank stones twice without any problems, which further proved this rule. In order to further verify the relationship between the stones with patterns and the danger that appeared out of thin air, he decided. I asked him to stand on a stone with wind-shaped patterns, and then two wind blades appeared."
After listening to his explanation, everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to the ground. As Qian Banxian said, the stones on the ground here are engraved with some patterns. There are many types, including weapons, thunder and lightning, trees, fireballs, etc. Wait, it was found on almost every stone, so no one took it seriously.
Only then did they discover that some of the stones were blank, but the number was relatively small and required careful observation to find them. It turns out that all the problems appeared here, and those patterns turned out to be the source of danger. Fortunately, the little Taoist priest Qingyang discovered it early, otherwise I don’t know how many lives it would have taken to try it out. Everyone couldn't help but secretly rejoice, thanks to the immortal masters for letting this Qingyang come in, otherwise, I don't know how many people would have died to try it out.
Qian Banxian's explanation barely makes sense. Although everyone knows that he has selfish motives and is mostly seeking revenge for Du Chengjin chasing him down a few days ago, Qian Banxian's explanation also makes sense. There is no such thing as this. , it is impossible to prove the role of those patterns.
It's just that this verification process was too cruel, and Du Chengjin lost an arm. If Qingyang hadn't come to the rescue in time, he might even have lost his life.
After understanding how those killing moves appeared, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. What everyone was afraid of was not the danger itself, but not knowing where the danger came from and when it would appear. Now that we have found the rules, as long as we are careful, we will no longer be in danger.
Du Chengjin used the rules mentioned by Qian Banxian to tentatively find blank stones, and soon returned to everyone. Perhaps because he had just lost his right arm and knew that he was no match for Qian Banxian for the time being, Du Chengjin did not go to trouble Qian Banxian, but every time he saw Qian Banxian, there was a heavy look in his eyes. murderous look.
Du Chengjin came and went and everything was fine, so everyone was completely relieved. The one who was more curious even went in for a walk to prove that what Qian Banxian said was true.
Hu Zhenhua even stepped on a stone engraved with flame patterns. After stepping on it, he quickly retreated, and a ball of flames appeared out of thin air on the stone. The temperature of the flame was extremely high, and it seemed to be not much worse than the flame emitted by Immortal Master Xi Ning outside. However, Hu Zhenhua escaped quickly, and the flame disappeared in the blink of an eye, without even burning the corners of his clothes.
When the danger was completely eliminated, Hu Zhensong also went in and brought back the three corpses on the ground. Qingyang stepped forward and took a look. Two of them were members of the Tiger Gang. One of them was charred all over and his human appearance was no longer visible. He was probably struck by lightning. The other one could still see his appearance clearly. He was a human. The body of the young warrior dressed as a short fighter was chopped into two pieces.
The remaining body is the corpse of the Xisong Immortal Master Hu Zhensong mentioned. Although he has been dead for more than half a month, the corpse is still very well preserved, and you can even see a little fluorescence on the skin.
This Immortal Master Xisong is about the same age as the Immortal Master Xiping outside. He is wearing a blue immortal robe with three small characters Lingxi Valley embroidered on his chest. Lingxi Valley should represent the sect or identity of Immortal Master Xisong. . There was a long flute stuck in his waist, but there was a hole as big as a bowl in his chest. He might have been killed by something piercing his chest, but no corresponding murder weapon was found.
Old Taoist Songhe reached out and touched the clothes again, and sighed: "It is indeed clothes that can only be worn by immortal masters. They are just different from those worn by us ordinary people."
Hu Zhensong didn't have time to stop him and said quickly: "Master Songhe, stop it. Even if it is the body of the immortal master, we cannot desecrate it casually. The immortal master Xiying has given instructions to take the body of the immortal master Xisong with him when he goes back." When he goes back, he won’t be missing anything.”
Old Taoist Songhe quickly retracted his hand and said coquettishly: "I was just curious for a moment, how dare you desecrate the immortal master's body? This body should be taken care of by your Tiger Gang. If something is lost, I can't pay for it even if you sell it. rise."
Everyone was about to go on an adventure, and they couldn't take the body with them, so they had to leave the injured Hu Zhensong here and let him help take care of the body while he healed his injuries.
The remaining twelve people, whether it was Du Chengjin who had a broken arm or Qian Banxian who was still seriously injured, had to continue moving forward with the Tiger Gang. The passage with patterns on the ground is about tens of feet long. Now that he has found his pattern, it is much easier to pass through. Even Qingyang and other children did not need help and jumped through it. In the formation area.
After passing through this formation area, there is a branch road ahead. Hu Zhensong is not familiar with this place. After discussion, he thinks it is better not to separate. Let's go to the left first. If the road is blocked, go back. Every branch can be explored. Once again, try your best to complete the tasks assigned by the immortal master.
The passage here is much wider, so there shouldn't be any traps set up. However, with the previous lesson, everyone dared not be careless. Everyone dispersed and slowly moved forward. In order to avoid casualties, Pi Yingxiong's monkey was sent to the front again.
Pi Yingxiong was very reluctant. Why did he do it every time? But human life is more important than the life of the tamed animal after all, so he could only do it. Maybe when this monkey died, the Tiger Gang would let him go.
Perhaps Pi Yingxiong's secret prayer worked. After that, they never encountered any danger again, and an hour passed unknowingly. It's just that everyone walked very slowly. In such a long time, they only walked less than four or five miles.
From morning to now, except for eating a little when waiting for the crack to appear in the cave outside, there was a series of fears, and there was no serious rest, and there was no chance to eat something to replenish their physical strength. The spirit has been so tense, and the masters of the world can't stand it, so everyone stopped temporarily, rested for a while, and ate something.
Everyone carried a bag with a lot of dry food and water in it, but they had to stay in this secret place for a long time, so they had to use the dry food and water sparingly, otherwise they wouldn't last more than half a month before the immortal masters opened the crack again.
Thanks to 无空piaomiao210 for the reward, I'll add another chapter temporarily.
