She remembered that Shen Yanchu could observe seven emotions, Dahurica dahuricae could recognize hundreds of flavors, and Dong Qingxian could distinguish ten thousand sounds.
"Could it be that all the eight sages are gifted?"
Dong Qingxian shook his head: "Most of them are just ordinary people."
Thinking of this, Dong Qingxian lowered his eyebrows.
Penglai is so ethereal that it is nowhere to be found in the world.
A stranger like him is destined to wander around Kyushu for the rest of his life, never to return to his homeland.
As the group passed through the hall, three forks appeared in front of them.
Elder Jiang of Xuantian Sect had long thought of parting ways. He was the first to speak: "Among the three roads, there must be a way of life and a way of death. Everyone's luck is different, so it is better to separate as soon as possible."
He obviously wanted to get rid of these people. If he was lucky, he could find the Sword Tomb first.
Dugu Yi came here to look for the sword, so naturally he was dissatisfied: "For the sake of fairness, everyone should draw lots to decide."
Dugu Yi divided a piece of paper into several pieces and marked them with stones, indicating the left, middle and right paths respectively.
After folding the piece of paper, he put it back on the ground and raised his hand: "Please!"
Elder Jiang picked up a piece of paper first.
Others also picked one one after another.
Liu Ruyan unfolded the paper in her hand and saw two horizontal lines on it, so she wanted to take the middle path next.
A-Lan came over from the side, saw the piece of paper in her hand, and smiled: "What a coincidence, I'm with you."
Bai Zhi and Dong Qingxian picked the paper near Liu Ruyan, so naturally they went the same way.
"Which path do you want to take, Your Majesty?" Ling Yun asked.
Shen Yanchu unfolded the piece of paper and glanced at Liu Ruyan from the corner of his eye: "The one in the middle."
Ling Yun and Ling Feng looked a little frustrated. They actually chose the rightmost path.
Liu Ruyan glanced at Jin Buhuan and saw him picking up the note at the corner when he was drawing lots. After unfolding it, it turned out that it was not the same path.
Jin Buhuan, Dugu Yi, Fu Xin, Elder Jiang and others took the wrong path.
Liu Ruyan, Shen Yanchu, Bai Zhi, Dong Qingxian, A Lan and others took the middle path.
The remaining Qiu Shi, Ling Yun, Ling Feng and others took the right path.
Whether you can go out smoothly or not depends on this.
Liu Ruyan walked into the stone alley, surrounded by empty silence. There were tomb paintings painted on the stone walls, which looked faded due to the distant past.
She glanced at it casually and saw that there were mortals, gods, and many various ghosts and monsters in the painting. Coupled with the dim mermaid candlelight, they projected shadows of walking figures. Suddenly, the wall in front of her seemed to come alive. Bizarre.
Liu Ruyan looked at the wall, where countless figures were projected, elongated and deformed, and continued to intersect as she moved.
The same goes for the others. Countless shadows were changing. It was clearly a team of only seven people, but it gave off the illusion of a large army crossing the border.
The group of people focused on the road under their feet.
In this way, I went out for a cup of tea without encountering any traps or hidden weapons. It was so smooth that it was a bit incredible.
Alan had just experienced the first adventure in his life, and he couldn't help but think about it.
"Do you think there will be any mechanisms here? For example, huge boulders, which are so huge that they can crush people into a pulp when they run over the passage. Or maybe there are dark bricks, which can fall down accidentally and are filled with swords. Stab someone through!"
Dong Qingxian: "..."
Bai Zhi: "..."
Shen Yanchu frowned and looked at him.
Brother Gesang tried hard to think of words, and finally he said eloquently: "I know, you Han people call this a crow's mouth!"
Liu Ruyan stopped and stared at the wall for a moment: "Based on the current situation, it is unlikely that he will be crushed to death by a boulder or stabbed to death with a sword, but it is possible to be trapped to death."
"How do you say this?" Dong Qingxian asked curiously.
She raised her hand and touched the tomb painting: "Most of the things depicted in the painting come from the 'Sea Classic' in the "Book of Mountains and Seas". No picture is repeated. But the bird on my hand, I just saw it when I came here." I’ve seen it before.”
Although Liu Ruyan does not have a photographic memory, she is very sensitive to the topography. "It seems that after walking for a long time, I have returned to the starting point. The layout here is weird."
After hearing what she said, Shen Yanchu raised his head and looked around.
The top of the head is no more than two people high, and the road ahead has no end at a glance. "You guys just stand where you are and don't move. I'll go over and take a look."
After saying that, he walked into the alley alone and soon disappeared.
After waiting for a while, Liu Ruyan heard movement again.
I saw countless elongated and deformed shadows projected on the stone wall behind me, and then, Shen Yanchu appeared in everyone's field of vision.
After walking around in circles, I came back to the same place.
"Since this road is not feasible, it is better to return as soon as possible." Dong Qingxian said.
A-Lan also felt that it would be better to leave as soon as possible, "You have to hurry up. If you stay for a moment longer, you will be in more danger."
The group of people returned along the original road.
After walking a long way, I saw the same tomb painting again.
This is strange. Logically speaking, as long as you follow the original path, you should be able to return to the main hall. However, you can't find the entrance or exit when you go back and forth. It's like being trapped in an infinite loop.
Liu Ruyan brought up the system and asked Ye Xun to switch the map to panoramic mode, then she was stunned again.
According to the map, you only need to walk straight ahead for three hundred steps to find the exit.
But there was clearly no crossroads here. They walked back and forth several times in an alley, and the exit and entrance seemed to disappear out of thin air.
In order to understand this, Liu Ruyan took out the slingshot she usually played with.
She casually picked up a stone and signaled to Dong Qingxian: "If there is a way out ahead, then the stone will not hit the wall, but will fall to the ground, and the echo will be different."
Dong Qingxian immediately understood what she meant.
They seemed to be walking a straight path, but in fact they turned a corner unknowingly, and the strangest thing was that no one of them noticed that they had gone astray.
If the system hadn't prompted that there was an exit ahead, Liu Ruyan wouldn't have dared to gamble.
After calming down, she held the bow in her left hand and unzipped the rubber band with her right hand.
The pebbles shot out quickly with a "whoosh" sound.
At almost the same moment, movement was quickly heard from the front.
Because the distance was too far, the echoes she heard were vague and non-existent, and she was unable to determine what was going on ahead.
So, she turned to look at Dong Qingxian.
Dong Qingxian turned his face sideways and looked into her expectant eyes, just as interesting and lovable as when he was pretending to be a little Taoist boy...
Thinking of this, Dong Qingxian curled up his eyes. When he spoke softly, his clear voice was like the spring breeze in March in the South.
"Yan'er's method worked. Judging from the echo, there is indeed an exit ahead that can lead to the outside world."
"But this alley is very evil, and I can't get out of it." She thought to herself.
"It's a Feng Shui formation." Shen Yanchu lowered his eyes, then opened them again, "The tomb paintings on the wall, candle lights, and the pavement can disrupt the sight and hearing. Only by not being confused by external objects can the formation be broken."
Liu Ruyan thought about his words and suddenly realized: "According to your wishes, everything can be charming."
If we don’t want to be disturbed by external objects, we can only block sight and hearing. “But if we can’t see things and encounter danger on the way, how should we resolve it?”
"That's easy to say!" A-Lan interjected, pointing to the winged bird in the painting, "This bird only has one eye and one wing, and it must fly side by side. Why don't we do it like this, holding hands and walking together."
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone fell silent.
