As soon as these words came out, Lao Chentou and Chu Yuntian turned their heads in unison and looked at the stone statue.
This is a statue of a male Taoist priest.
This man was wearing a Taoist robe and a Taoist hat, and he was carrying a Taoist sword behind his back.
He stood with his chest upright, but his eyes were slightly closed; his beard was long, and he was gently twirling it with his left hand; although his right hand was clasped behind his back, the whisk he was holding was still vaguely visible.
Unfortunately, this statue is very old and has been severely weathered. Not only has the body color faded, the face is stained and the nose is black, but there are also obvious signs of peeling off on the surface of the rock mass, making the statue's face and clothing unrecognizable.
It can be seen that this is a statue of a Taoist priest meditating.
There is even a clearly visible crack on the stone statue, spreading from the neck, through the chest, and around the abdomen; it seems that it will split in half at any time!
It was precisely because of this that Old Chen Tou and Chu Yuntian didn't pay much attention to the stone statues after entering the hall.
But now when he heard Ye Wushuang's words, he took a closer look and found out the clues.
In the ferocious cracks on the stone statue, there are faint wisps of white light splashing out at this moment; although it is so thin that it is difficult to detect, but as long as you look carefully, it is still not difficult to find that the white light splashing out is the light of runes.
.
Formation!
There are formations carved inside this stone statue!
The two of them immediately saw the problem and looked at Ye Wushuang in unison.
Ye Wushuang said just now that the people who knew about Ten Thousand Beast Ridge were Pu Ruozhi and Emperor Chu Yu; and the people who entered this place thousands of years ago were naturally likely to be the two of them.
This was also the reason why Ye Wushuang brought the two of them in.
After all, one of them is the only descendant of Pu Ruozhi, and the other is the descendant of Emperor Chu Yu. If the people who suppressed this place were really Pu Ruozhi and Emperor Chu Yu, then they would naturally have the method to unlock the seal of this place.
Unique conditions.
But the two of them didn't know about this condition.
"Old Chentou, what did Pu Ruozhi teach you?"
Seeing that the two of them also discovered the secret of the stone statue, Ye Wushuang smiled faintly, turned to look at Old Chen Tou, and said, "Think about it carefully, is there anything special about it?"
"Special?"
Hearing this, Old Chen frowned, and his dry old face, which was already full of wrinkles, twisted into a ball almost instantly. He recalled carefully; but soon, he shook his head and said: "No."
"In the years when I followed Master, what Master taught me were some not very precious mental techniques and spiritual secrets. Almost all of them were selected from the spiritual pavilion of Cangyun College, and some of them were learned by me from Master.
When I traveled to the Eastern Wasteland, I found some folk spiritual secrets, but they were nothing special."
"Lingge and folk skills?"
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang couldn't help but frown slightly and asked doubtfully: "Pu Ruozhi, didn't I teach you the sword sect's skills?"
Thousands of years ago, as the Unparalleled Sword Emperor, he was extremely hasty when he took Pu Ruozhi into his sect and did not even teach him the most basic finger-soft sword technique.
But he remembered that before he left the Eastern Wasteland and went to the Western Desert, he had given Pu Ruozhi many of the sword sect's mental techniques and spiritual techniques. Those techniques may not be comparable to those of the Zhirou Sword Technique and the Nine Daoyi Swords.
But all of them are peerless spiritual techniques.
It is said there that Pu Ruozhi's later achievements are absolutely inseparable from those peerless spiritual techniques; and in this case, how could Lao Chentou, who was Pu Ruozhi's only disciple, not learn them?
"No!"
Old Chentou shook his head without thinking this time and explained: "Master once said that he accepted me as a disciple without asking Master for instructions; therefore, before he has been recognized by the Sword Sect, he will not recruit the Wushuang Sword Emperor.
The inheritance can be passed on to anyone!”
What a good apprentice!
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He, the Ninth Disciple, is really affectionate and loyal, and he abides by the rules!
But in this way, it will be difficult to crack the formation here and check the secrets from thousands of years ago...
Ye Wushuang immediately frowned, a little embarrassed.
"Sir..."
Seeing this scene, Chu Yuntian instantly understood what Ye Wushuang meant, and immediately asked: "You can see the formation hidden in this stone statue at a glance, can't you break it?"
Although Ye Wushuang has never said that he is a formation master, it is not difficult to see from his past performance that his attainments in formations are not inferior to his martial arts talent.
It stands to reason that since Ye Wushuang can see the formation here at this moment, he should have a way to break it, so why should he rely on the two descendants of Pu Ruozhi and Chu Yu?
"It's not difficult to break the formation. The key is to have a formation to break."
Ye Wushuang smiled and explained: "The arrangement of the formation here is not complicated, but the method of opening it is very special. Although I can see that this is a formation, I can also see that this stone statue is
It’s where the formation’s eye is.”
"But in fact, the formation here is not turned on."
Not turned on?
As soon as these words came out, Lao Chentou and Chu Yuntian were immediately confused and didn't know why.
Ye Wushuang continued: "The formation here should be a prison formation; but this prison formation has been changed to have a one-way suppression effect."
"To put it simply, the operation mode of this formation has been changed to a single direction; for those in the formation, it is on; but for people outside the formation, it is
Closed state.”
"The so-called breaking of the formation is nothing more than two types. One is to find the movement trajectory of the formation and interrupt it; the other is to destroy it with brute force and destroy the entire formation."
"First, we are outside the formation now. The runes and formation eyes we see in front of us are actually in a stagnant state. Therefore, in our opinion, this formation has not started at all, so naturally it is
If you can't interrupt its operation, there is no such thing as breaking the formation."
I see...
Hearing this, Chu Yuntian nodded slightly.
Although he didn't quite understand what Ye Wushuang meant, he could understand most of it.
The formation is like a flood; breaking the formation is building embankments to prevent floods; but before repairing, you must know where the flood comes from and whether it will come, right?
Otherwise, building embankments on the east side and flooding on the west side will lead to diversion, and naturally it will have no effect.
"As for the second method..."
Ye Wushuang paused and continued: "What is our purpose of breaking the formation? Of course we want to see what the secret of suppression under this formation is."
"I just sensed that there is a passage under this stone statue; and the formation here should block the entrance of this passage. Once the formation is forcibly destroyed with brute force, it is very likely that the formation will completely seal the passage.
"
"In that case, what's the point of our purpose of breaking the formation?"
As soon as these words came out, Chu Yuntian nodded again and immediately asked: "Does that mean this formation cannot be broken?"
"Everything in the world is relative; if there is a formation, there must be a solution."
Ye Wushuang smiled lightly and said: "It's just that this formation is somewhat special. Rather than finding a way to break the formation, it's better to find a way to open it."
"This kind of one-way formation is usually broken when it is opened!"
Speaking of this, Lao Chentou and Chu Yuntian nodded in unison, understanding what Ye Wushuang meant.
Ye Wushuang, on the other hand, continued: "Since this formation is related to Pu Ruozhi and Emperor Chu Yu, the method of opening it should also be able to find some clues from you, the descendants."
"So, I need you to think carefully now about what is special about Pu Ruozhi and Emperor Chu Yu; or whether you have any special feelings after entering this place."
Special feeling?
After hearing this, both of them fell silent and frowned in thought.
"Yes!"
Soon, Chu Yuntian suddenly raised his head, pointed at the stone statue, and said: "I...I seem to feel a...a kind of blood power from this stone statue; it's like, this stone statue, or...
There are things in this stone statue that share the same origin as mine!"
"Same origin?"
Ye Wushuang frowned, then opened his eyebrows in an instant, and said directly: "Yuntian, take a drop of blood essence and put it on the stone statue to try."
"good!"
Chu Yuntian nodded without thinking, and immediately stretched out his sword finger, pointed it toward his forehead and between his eyebrows, and then slowly pulled it back; a drop of bright blood immediately overflowed from his forehead.
The next moment, he waved the sword finger of his right hand and shouted: "Go!"
call out...
The drop of blood suddenly shot out and landed on the stone statue instantly.
Buzz...
The next moment, the dilapidated stone statue suddenly glowed brightly.
Especially in that crack, beams of light burst out; and between the beams, there were faint runes beating, like elves.
"it works!"
Seeing this scene, Chu Yuntian was immediately overjoyed and stepped towards the stone statue.
"Don't worry, although the formation is functioning, it is not fully activated yet!"
Ye Wushuang stretched out his hand to stop Chu Yuntian, said something, then looked at Old Chen Tou, and said: "Now it seems that the essence and blood of Emperor Chu Yu is the energy that runs the formation; and the method to open it should be Pu Ruozhi's body
.”
"Sir, I..."
Seeing Ye Wushuang looking at him, Old Chen hesitated. He was about to refuse, but he seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said: "By the way, since Chu's essence and blood can run the formation, will Master's essence and blood be the
How to open it?"
"Won't!"
Ye Wushuang shook his head and explained: "The essence and blood of warriors are generally used to provide energy for formations, so the essence and blood of one warrior is enough; if there is more, it will cause mutual repulsion between the bloods.
Energy disorders.”
"Therefore, the opening method in Pu Ruozhi's hands should be some kind of skill!"
"But I really can't think of anything special about Master's technique..."
Old Chen shook his head with an aggrieved look on his face. As soon as he said the words, he suddenly froze and said immediately: "I...I seem to have thought of a technique..."
"What technique?"
Before Ye Wushuang could speak, Chu Yuntian couldn't wait to ask.
"Yin Yang Jue!"
"Yin Yang Jue? Isn't that the unique skill of Black and White Academy?"
Chu Yuntian was stunned for a moment, then realized: "By the way, the Black and White Academy was created by Venerable Pu, so the Yin and Yang Technique naturally came from him."
"It is said that the two martial arts skills of the Nine Yang Palm and the Nine Yin Claw, one yin and one yang, are both the most powerful in the martial arts. However, when the Nine Yin Claw is used, the five fingers are strong and can break through any strong force.
, destroying the enemy's leader is like passing through rotten soil; it is an extremely vicious martial skill, extremely cruel. Therefore, it was once listed as a forbidden skill by the Black and White Academy, and its disciples were prohibited from practicing it."
"From this point of view, it is indeed the most special one among the exercises practiced by Venerable Pu!"
The Black and White Venerable Pu Ruozhi has always been an upright hero in the eyes of the world; the exercises he practices are all orthodox; and when it comes to exercises like Yin Yang Jue, which include sinister martial arts such as Nine Yin Claws, they are naturally in line with Pu Ruozhi's image.
Big discrepancy.
In this way, of course it is special among the exercises practiced by Pu Ruozhi!
"The Yin-Yang Technique is an original technique that Master created after being rejected by the Sword Sect and returning to the Eastern Wasteland."
Old Chen nodded and said: "Master once said that this technique is a combination of Yang and Yin in the world, so it consists of two martial arts, Nine Yang Palm and Nine Yin Claw. At that time, Master founded Cangyun Academy
Later, he wanted to retire, so he came to Jizhou, founded the Black and White Academy, and developed Yin Yang Jue as his unique skill."
"But when Master founded the Black and White Academy, I had not yet become a disciple; and not long after Master founded the Black and White Academy, he banned the Yin and Yang Jue and left Jizhou; so..."
"So, Venerable Pu didn't teach you the Yin Yang Technique?"
Before Old Chen Tou finished speaking, Chu Yuntian instantly realized his uneasiness and spoke hurriedly.
"right!"
Old Chen smiled bitterly and nodded helplessly.
"this..."
Chu Yuntian was completely stunned. He looked at Ye Wushuang blankly and asked, "Isn't it true that the formation still cannot be activated?"
Now everything is clear. One way to activate the stone statue formation is the blood essence of Emperor Chu Yu, and the other is the Yin and Yang Art.
But Pu Ruozhi didn't teach the Yin Yang Technique to Lao Chentou, which meant that the formation still couldn't be activated!
"not necessarily."
Ye Wushuang grinned slightly at this time and said: "Although I have never practiced the Yin and Yang technique, I have seen it twice; and since this technique takes the two extremes of Yang and Yin, then the method of opening this formation,
It is most likely a combination of yin and yang..."
Having said this, Ye Wushuang's eyes narrowed, he stepped forward, his hands quickly kneaded in front of his chest, and then he waved violently towards the stone statue.
Whoosh...
In an instant, runes shot out; one to the left and one to the right, rushing towards the stone statue.
The runes on the left column are full of masculine meanings from the most rigid to the yang; the runes on the right column exude the feminine energy from the most yin to soft!
Buzz...
As soon as the two rows of runes poured into the stone statue, the entire Taoist temple trembled; the void rippled and spiritual energy swarmed.
Click...
The next moment, the stone statue suddenly cracked open, and brilliant and complex runes shot out.
Those runes were only about the size of the thumb, but they were densely packed into thousands. Once they emerged, they quickly gathered and intertwined in mid-air, and in an instant, they condensed into a six-pointed star formation!
"Success!"
Seeing this scene, Old Chentou and Chu Yuntian both looked happy.
Ye Wushuang suddenly frowned, and then his expression changed slightly.
"careful!"
The next moment, Ye Wushuang shouted loudly, stretched out his arms suddenly, grabbed the two of them, and immediately retreated, exiting the Taoist temple hall in an instant.
Rumble...
The next moment, the already dilapidated Taoist temple hall suddenly collapsed.
"This is..."
"What's going on?"
Old Chen and Chu Yuntian, who had narrowly escaped, looked at each other with horror on their faces and looked at Ye Wushuang in unison.
Ye Wushuang stared at the ruins in front of him and said slowly: "I probably know what Pu Ruozhi and the others are suppressing here!"
"What?"
The two of them were stunned for a moment, then asked in unison.
"Heart Gu!"
Ye Wushuang still stared closely at the collapsed Taoist temple and said word by word: "The heart gu that occupies the fifth-level monster!"
What?
As soon as these words came out, both of them changed their expressions and hurriedly turned their heads to look at the Taoist temple.
There were piles of rocks and dust and smoke everywhere.
The entire hall has been reduced to ruins.
But among the ruins, amid the lingering haze, a huge black figure hanging in the air was vaguely visible.
And beneath the black shadow, eight pillars that were more than two to three meters long and as thick as rafters were arranged on both sides of the ruins, firmly supporting the black shadow in the air!
"This is... a spider, a spider..."
Chu Yuntian's eyes widened instantly, he was dumbfounded, and said in horror: "What a big spider!"
