Under the big tree, Jiang Yu looked at the plaque shining with eye-catching golden light in the dark night, and nodded, "You can't go wrong, it must be here."
During the day, the two sides had a conflict over the phrase "the first floor in the sky".
The information about the "Pilgrimage Tower" that I got was that there was only this place in the entire Dongtian King City.
The target is right here, and it can't be missed.
only……
"Is this what the area around the first floor of the sky originally looked like?"
Jiang Yu raised his head as he spoke, looking at the lush ancient trees above his head with some confusion.
As a historical site of Dongtenwang Castle, although it is close, it is not close.
But basically, the spiritual refiners who enter the city will go in the direction of the Pilgrimage Building and take a long look.
Jiang and his party had never come here specifically to pay their respects.
But I happened to take a look when I entered Zhongcheng District. At that time, the Pilgrimage Building was still just a pilgrimage building, and there was no such ostentatious golden plaque.
Outside the building, there don't seem to be so many ancient trees.
But now, look at the height of these ancient trees and how crowded they are...
Without a hundred years of foundation, it would be impossible to grow like this!
"It should be the decoration they asked the business to put on, it's not that important." Jiang Tai responded.
His attention was not on these trees, but on the door of the attic, with thoughts in his eyes.
"What we need to think about now is how to break through the barrier protection on the first floor in the sky and abduct people without alerting the snake." Jiang Tai said in a message.
Before taking action, the two of them actually conducted an investigation.
The location of the first floor in the sky is great. It is located at the center of the city barrier and is protected by the formation.
Relying only on two ordinary thrones, it is basically impossible to break through without making a sound.
Therefore, the key to this operation lies entirely with Jiang Yu.
"Grand Master of the Spiritual Array, it's up to you!"
Jiang Tai patted Jiang Yu's shoulder and held his breath.
Among the Jiang family, there is only one person who is qualified to protect the "Pearl of Heaven's Knowledge".
Although the city defense formation is strong, Jiang Tai believes that as long as enough time is given and there is no need to actually break the formation and just dig a small opening that can accommodate two people, it should be very simple.
"rest assured."
Jiang Yu nodded, and as he spoke, he took out a dark spiritual formation bead, injected it with his spiritual thoughts, and began to sense it.
The evening breeze was gentle, rustling the leaves.
Jiang Tai concentrated his attention and stared at any disturbance in all directions.
He knew that in the next few hours, all he had to do was wait and hide the whereabouts of the two of them.
But Jiang Yu Ling Nian on one side had just injected the spirit formation beads, and the next second he frowned.
"It seems... there is no need to break the formation." He said hesitantly, turned his head stiffly, and pointed at the door not far away.
"What's the meaning?"
Jiang Tai was startled and looked in the direction of his finger.
But apart from the golden plaque, nothing could be seen.
"Look below, don't look at the plaque." Jiang Yu's eyes were filled with fear and worry.
under?
When Jiang Tai heard the sound, his eyes moved down, and then his whole face froze.
Under the shining golden plaque of "The First Floor in the Sky", there is a pair of door couplets whose light has been suppressed.
Basically, as long as the plaque is there, no one will pay attention to the lackluster door couplet.
But I really wanted to take a look, the content of the door couplet is so eye-catching.
"No matter what happens, welcome all guests?"
Jiang Tai murmured, and suddenly his feet felt like lead, extremely heavy. He swallowed hard, "Has he guessed that we are coming?"
Jiang Yu couldn't reply.
The dark wind at night swept.
The two of them stared at the couplet and then at the "First Floor in the Sky", and the pores on their bodies began to bloom unconsciously.
"So arrogant!"
Jiang Tai spat, "Looking at the style of Xu's group, there will definitely be a lot of people offended... I think they guessed that someone was coming, but they didn't know when they would come, so they posted this couplet.
Intimidation effect.”
"Empty city plan?" Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows.
"possible."
"But what if it's not?"
"If not..."
Jiang Tai fell silent.
If not, the other party is really going crazy!
Knowing that someone is coming, you still deliberately hang up such a door couplet. Is this a mockery?
Still disdainful?
Don't care at all?
"retreat?"
The scene became quiet, and Jiang Yu hesitated to speak.
"We can't retreat." Jiang Tai waved his hand, "Not to mention the consequences of not completing the task, do you think this couplet alone can scare the two thrones? Even if it doesn't work, we have to find out first. If things don't go well,
, and then adapt to changes."
"But if you can't cope with it?"
"..."
Jiang Tai was stunned by the question. He paused for a moment, then suddenly got angry and gave Jiang Yu a big slap.
"The mission is so you can quit if you say you want to?"
"Well."
After the two exchanged words, they were silent again.
As he said this, his feet seemed to be stuck to the ground, unable to move even a little bit.
"rustle……"
The strong wind passed by and the ancient trees buckled.
The rustling sound and accompanying branches seemed to be inviting guests into the building.
But that building...
Jiang Yu raised his eyes again.
The "first floor in the sky" that he had ridiculed during the day actually had the inexplicable aura of "the first floor in the sky" at this moment.
Being condescending and smiling at the common people!
Under the cover of night, this towering building is no longer a building but a ferocious beast that chooses people to devour.
The direction Gu Mu invited was towards the abyssal mouth of this beast!
After Jiang Tai took a long, deep breath, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Walk!"
"Act accordingly, if it doesn't work, withdraw again!"
…
No matter what happens.
Welcome all guests.
Outside the door couplet, two silent black shadows fell, and then their bodies turned invisible.
"Boundary, open!"
"Boundary, open!"
The space ripples lightly.
Two thin but safe realms enveloped their figures. After taking a step forward in unison, the two of them jumped in from the door.
"Boom!"
As soon as you enter the door, the dull sound of the wooden bell seems to strike on the heartstrings, and everyone who hears the sound is horrified.
"Discovered?"
Jiang Tai was the first to be startled. He looked prepared, took a defensive posture, and looked up.
However, I saw an old wooden bell hanging in the side hall of the door. The sound of the bell was not caused by people entering the door.
"Boom!"
Another regular bell rang.
Jiang Yu, who was hiding in the darkness, also breathed a sigh of relief silently.
Not that it was discovered!
Rather, this clock has been ringing at a certain frequency, as if telling the time, letting the wind gather its strength, and then striking once when the time comes.
"Damn it, what the hell kind of habit is this!"
"With these gloomy bells, can anyone live in this place? Who can sleep?"
Jiang Yu cursed in his heart and secretly sent a message to Jiang Tai, asking him to calm down.
Ahead is the hall.
There are two rows of long, low wooden tables in the hall, with low candlelight flickering on them.
Under the bright and ostentatious light, it is true that it embellishes the path of the hall, but the darkest place inside is so bright that it is dark, and no scene can be seen.
On the wooden table, several lighting lamps and candles had been extinguished, perhaps because the barrier was not turned off.
The few embers disappeared into nothingness in the direction of the wind, which looked really infiltrating.
The two Jiangs looked at this scene with their hearts in their throats.
The layout of this pavilion is really too impressive.
How could anyone do this to their own family?
This doesn't look like it's a place to live in, it looks more like it's a sacrifice... it looks like it's a sacrifice!
——It’s simply disgusting!
"Split up."
Spiritual message transmission.
The two knew that time was running out and they had to find the two Xu girls as soon as possible and take them out before they were discovered.
But my mind is strong and firm.
As soon as he stepped forward, the scene in front of him whirled and the scene disappeared, as if he was in another dimension.
"call!"
Strong winds are blowing and sand is blowing up.
The layout of the pavilions was no longer there, and as far as the eye could see, it turned into a barren desert.
Under the cover of night, there are dots of candlelight on the sky, like a pair of eyes of gods, looking down at all the movements of people in the desert.
"Illusion!"
Jiang Tai's heart sank.
He knew it was bad.
This is not an empty city strategy. They have been prepared for it and are just waiting to catch the turtle in the jar!
It can be withdrawn but cannot be withdrawn.
Don't say there is no way out.
If they were really discovered, even if they broke in by force, they would have to capture the two Xu girls.
Otherwise, the punishment for failing the mission would be much more terrifying than breaking into a building.
"Do it!"
Even though he couldn't see his companion, Jiang Tai still shouted loudly in the direction where Jiang Yu was before.
The two have already rehearsed various scenarios.
If you are trapped in the spiritual formation, the sound transmission method under spatial positioning is the only means for the throne to communicate.
However, the situation is different from what was previously expected.
After transmitting the message, Jiang Tai did not get the response he expected.
His heart sank.
No matter how stupid you are, you know at this time that although it is a small step forward, the two of them entered probably not the same illusion.
"Space isolation?"
The realm is like a garment that wraps around the whole body.
Jiang Tai was still panicked and didn't dare to move even half a step, for fear of triggering some mechanism.
He is not a spiritual formation master, so the only way to break the formation is to attack with force.
But by attacking by force, isn't it a declaration to the Xu family that someone is invading on the first floor of the sky at this moment?
At this moment, Jiang Yu began to break the formation.
Aren't you just trying to scare the snake away?
"Cat whine!"
While he was thinking about it, a piercing whine like a slaughtering cat erupted next to him. Jiang Tai's eyelids twitched and he immediately looked sideways.
A white light flashed away.
What was captured in the last scene was a white cat that was extremely elongated and jumped into a small space crack in the far distance.
"Array eye?"
Jiang Tai subconsciously moved to follow.
Then he immediately woke up. This was probably a technique in the illusion, and its purpose was...
"hiss!"
Looking down at his raised right foot, Jiang Tai suddenly realized that maybe he couldn't take a step this time?
Is that white cat trying to attract me to move my feet?
He took a breath of cold air and carefully retracted his steps, placing them on top of the original footprints.
"brush."
But this step seemed to trigger a mechanism, and the scene in front of him changed again.
"Zhizhi——"
The sweet chirping of birds can be heard in the ears, and the fragrance is refreshing in the mouth and nose.
The desert is no longer, the dense forest plummets, the greenery is abundant, and the birds are flying in clusters.
Jiang Tai closed his eyes heavily.
It turns out that settling down is considered a step?
"This damn..."
The desert is gone.
Instead, there is a dense virgin forest.
His heartbeat accelerated slightly, and Jiang Tai could hardly hold his breath anymore. He really wanted to punch out and completely crush this predicament.
But the thoughts in his mind were about to change, and the scene behind him from his spiritual thoughts made him suddenly excited.
"Door?"
There is nothing in front of me.
In addition to trees, there are flowers and plants.
But behind him, there stood eight incompatible gates.
That door seems to have been suppressed from ancient times to the present, exuding a simple and majestic momentum, which is coercive.
On the top of each door, there is a big character made of sand, which is arranged in order: Xiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Death, Jing, Kai.
"Eight gates?"
Even if he is not a spiritual formation master, Jiang Tai also knows the meaning of these eight characters.
What shocked him the most was not the standing of these eight gates, but the blood spilled in front of each gate, as well as the corresponding pieces of flesh and severed limbs.
Before closing the door, he was half-dressed in black, with a broken arm and blood and scraps of flesh, which was extremely horrifying.
Before he was born, he had half a shoe and a broken leg.
Before hurting the door, a flap in the butt...
Dumen, arms, internal organs...
Jingmen, tibia, spine...
Door of death, nothing!
Shocking door, bloody left arrow...
Open the door... there's a head!
Jiang Tai scanned them one by one, his pupils shrinking sharply.
The head in front of the final door was none other than my companion on this mission, Jiang Yu!
"No, don't move..."
The head was bleeding and the orifices were red, but intermittent human voices still flowed out from the corners of the ferocious cracked mouth.
"Bagua...pilgrimage map..."
"Eight Gates, Spirits, Spirit Array..."
"Choose one and think about it, and then you can come out..."
"No, don't move!!!"
As if he saw Jiang Tai trying to lift his feet, the decapitated expression immediately started to struggle violently, and he shouted suddenly, but after a mouthful of blood came out, he had no further words.
"died?"
Jiang Tai was dumbfounded.
That night clothes, that expression, that familiar tone...
There is no doubt that this person is Jiang Yu!
But Jiang Tai didn't believe it at all.
How could he not know the horror of high-level spiritual formations?
Although it is difficult to simulate these, it is not impossible.
All of this is just to better make the formation breaker believe in the illusion.
But just now, he made a tentative move by raising his feet, but in exchange for Jiang Yu's desperate roar...
"Do not move?"
Jiang Tai was silent.
His heart was racing and he didn't know what to do.
The inability to take steps was the conclusion that I, a half-time formation breaker, came to in this spiritual formation.
It is impossible for outsiders to know!
Now, Jiang Yu's severed head died in front of his eyes just to warn him of this message.
What's the meaning?
How did he know?
Is he real?
"Bagua Pilgrimage Picture..."
Recalling the information Jiang Yu gave before his death, Jiang Tai hesitated.
Is this still an illusion?
Or is it the last scene that Jiang Yu summoned the power of the spiritual formation in another place and tried his best to deliver it?
If it's the former, I believe it probably represents death!
If it's the latter, if you don't believe it, it means Jiang Yu's last struggle was wasted!
Jiang Tai's eyes were fixed on the bloody left arrow in front of the shocking door.
Following the arrow, he could see the empty Death Door.
"die……"
This is a door that no one would want to enter.
What was shown in the scene in front of him was the only way Jiang Yu was given to survive after several attempts at the cost of his body.
A heaven, a hell?
Jiang Tai clenched his fists suddenly.
He didn't know whether this large array was originally from the Pilgrim Tower or was brought by Mr. Xu.
But he knew that if Jiang Yu couldn't break the formation at this time, he might be in serious danger.
"Xu De choked!"
Jiang Tai clenched his back molars and tasted a hint of fishy taste in his throat.
Is the choice to continue to wait...
Still believe in the picture in front of me, one thought will lead to death...
Regardless of the consequences, he broke through the formation with reckless force and directly destroyed the spiritual formation...
——No time to choose!
Eyes widening angrily, Jiang Yu only pondered for half a second before raising his fist.
