Holy Bone

Chapter 363 The Eighth Person
"?"

The Wu brothers, who had been driven crazy by this place for a long time, hurriedly asked if Qi Jian saw anything.

Next, according to the explanation of the sword, the pits of the heaven and earth bones they are in are somewhat similar to the compass and the prayer wheel on the upper and lower floors. This vertical pit is actually divided into two parts, the upper and lower parts, and they rotate in opposite directions. .

So when they seem to be climbing up the road to heaven, they are actually being led backward by the double-layer compass.

When they went down, they were actually led back up by the double-deck compass.

It looks like it's up, but it's actually down.

It looks like it's down, but it's actually up.

Coupled with the fact that the rock walls here absorb light, it is easy to overlook the details, and the hypnotic effect of those hanging coffins on all sides, which constantly numbs, weakens people's reaction and thinking ability, and confuses people's sense of direction up and down, so this causes them An illusion, this abyss pit is infinitely long.

This is indeed a clever Qimen Dunjia game used to trap people.

It's not that some dungeon came alive to trap them.

In order to prove the claim of cutting the sword, in fact, there was an answer as early as the beginning, and that answer came from Xu Anping's voice.

When they heard the voice behind them and they went down to the bottom of the pit, Xu Anping's shout turned into a diverging overhead; when they climbed up again, Xu Anping's shout turned into a diverging deep pit again.

No matter how hard they try, they always run counter to the outside world, and they can't go to the end.

This is an infinite loop.

Hearing this, Jin An immediately understood the truth. Isn't this the principle of the elevator?

Jin An laughed loudly and praised Jianjian: "Teacher, you are amazing. I never thought you would know how to hide Qimen Dunjia."

At this moment, even the old Taoist priest looked at him with admiration, boasting that Sword Cutting was awesome. This time, even if he refused to accept his old age, Cutting Sword's attainments in Qimen Dunjia were definitely higher than him.

From the beginning to the end, there was only dullness on the face of the sword that was alive and dead: "I don't know why I suddenly recalled this, as if it was in my mind."

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a thief. Even after a serious injury and amnesia, he can instinctively find a way to break the game. Jin An comforted Chi Jian, saying that to restore memory, take your time, don't worry, so as not to cause any irreversible damage to the brain.

Jin An found that, before he knew it, the old Taoist priest and Jianjian had become his lucky stars. If they were missing, the three-legged cat Feng Shui skills he had just learned would not be able to penetrate deep into the underground palace at all.

Afterwards, he pondered: "Now that we have figured out the principle of Qimen Dunjia in this pothole, then we should find out the upper and lower distance limits of this double-deck drum."

"There must be a length limit between the two, and there must be a platform to switch between each other. If you find that platform and find a way to break through, you will be able to escape successfully."

This is like the head and feet of the two ladders, each must have a platform for people to stand safely. This platform is a hanging coffin on all sides, but it is deeply hidden by geomantic geomantic techniques and yin escape techniques.Now they must break through these two bureaus and find the two most critical hanging coffins.

As soon as Jin An's voice fell, the old Taoist said excitedly: "'Nine poles, ten is the original void', 'Fifty avenue, 49 Tianyan, get rid of one', little brother, do you still remember that five-color earth pagoda? "

"If the master of the dojo thousands of years ago had already predicted us today, he must have left us with a glimmer of life. I think these two sentences must be the clues for us."

"Everything in the sky has a definite number. Like our divination technique, we cannot reveal the secrets of the heavens, otherwise the secrets will become murderous, and we will surely perish. That senior must not reveal the secrets to us, so he can only leave us with a secret. Give the guidance, but this hidden guidance should not be too difficult to guess, it must be guessed by us."

"That's why the old man thinks that the first two sentences must be the key."

Needless to say, after thinking about it carefully, everyone present felt that the old Taoist's analysis was reasonable, and everyone agreed with the old Taoist's statement surprisingly unanimously.

"Master, it should be 99 feet." Chi Jian suddenly said at this moment.

Shajian explained that he had calculated the distance, and every time he walked about ninety feet away, he could hear Daoist Xu's shout.

"Ninety-nine return to one, there is something wrong with this matter!" The old Taoist shouted joyfully.

Since finding the way out, the morale of the team has become full of fighting spirit again, and then everyone will stop delaying and start to break the situation.

Thanks to the old Taoist priest, there is everything in the Taiji gossip bag, including the ink fountain line that he has suppressed corpses several times over the years as a wandering Taoist priest.

They can just use this ink fountain line to locate the specific distance.

Next, Jin An took the ink fountain thread handed to him by the old Taoist priest. After calculating the length of 99 feet in advance, he tied one end of the hanging coffin so that he could retract the thread with a hard pull. He began to turn the thread wheel in his hand, and while putting the long thread on one hanging coffin after another, he leaped sensitively, while paying attention to the length of the ink fountain line, so as to locate the distance.

Back and forth three times, after cutting the sword and listening to the sound to identify the position, I finally located the hanging coffin with the clearest sound.

At this time, no one cared about why only Chijian could hear the sound from the outside world. Both Jin An and the old Taoist felt that it had something to do with the special physique of the corpse-hunting man Chijian.

Corpse hunters are meant to walk between the dead and the darkness, the darker the world, the more sensitive the five senses.

As for the Wu brothers, old man Qi and the others, ever since they were forced to listen to Jin An's daily little story, they kept their mouths shut all the way, fearing that Jin An would really leave them alone.

This time, they no longer cared about Xu Anping's faint voice behind them. Now that they had found where the upper and lower limits of the drum were, they could just concentrate on solving the situation in front of them.

"Stand back, let me open my bow and test the way forward." Jin An bent his bow and set an arrow, and there was no arrow on the drawn bowstring, only a divine treasure that radiated divine light.

At this time, in order to find a way out, he could only reluctantly cut his flesh.

hum!
As soon as the fingers were loosened, the divine treasure on the bowstring was quickly shot out.

call out!
Unexpectedly, just as Jin An shot the divine treasure forward, it flew backwards at an undiminished speed. Jin An raised his arm to catch the divine light that flew backwards from the same path.

Bang, the tiger's palm was so painful from the shock, and the stone bow was so powerful that even if it wasn't a sharp arrow, it made his arm sore from the shock.

"Sure enough, this place is a trap of infinite reincarnation. Going up is going down, going down is going up, always going in the opposite direction." Old man Qi and the others cheered up, feeling that they had finally found a way out.

Afterwards, Jin An tried to bend his bow and set an arrow a few times, and each time the divine light shot back instantly back the same way.

After a few tries, he began to frown.

"It's too early to be happy to say these things." Jin An narrowed his eyes, trying to see the dark world ahead, and his brows became more and more wrinkled.

"What, what do you mean?" Old man Qi and the others trembled, their eyes showed fear, and they looked expectantly at Jin An who was constantly trying to shoot arrows.

"Let me ask you, we walk on hanging coffins and iron chains, and are affected by the Qimen Dunjia, and always go backwards. Do the things I shoot with the crossbow have feet? They fly out and come back the same way. What does it mean?"

Jin An's voice became deeper and deeper, as if he was thinking about countermeasures.

After thinking for a moment, he continued: "This shows that there is a strange space in front of us. Even if we find the correct exit, we will still be sent back."

Hearing this, the old Taoist muttered to himself: "It's right in front of you, but you can't get there no matter how you go. Isn't this just so close..."

At this moment, the sword-cutting and Hongyu girls all turned their heads to look to the right hand direction. There was a piece of darkness there, but according to common sense, the left and right sides of them were solid rock walls with nowhere to go.

Suddenly.

Jin An seemed to have noticed something, and he also turned his head to look in the direction of his right hand.

"Do you still remember that I once said that only the dead are the most sensitive to the dead?" Miss Hongyu was the first to speak, her voice was thick like that of a tomboy.

"Actually, the dead are also most sensitive to the yang energy of the living. It is an uncomfortable feeling of staring directly at the flames."

"The longer you stay here, the more uncomfortable you will feel. It seems that we are right in finding a way out. This is the weakest point in the entire Qimen Dunjia Bureau."

She took a look at the sword that was also full of corpse and death, and at the same time as her, she looked at the sharp sword in the direction of the right hand, and there was no surprised expression on her face.

What surprised her the most was Jin An.

Unexpectedly, Jin An could also feel the gaze of a living person.

But in her eyes.

Jin An is obviously a living person.

The yang fire in her body was so strong that she, a dead person, felt very uncomfortable, and she deliberately stood far away from the beginning to the end.

Seemingly seeing the doubt in Miss Hongyu's eyes, the old Taoist priest with the most restless mouth said cheerfully: "Miss Hongyu, you don't understand our little brother, hehe, my little brother has a very strong Ability, his eyes are the most able to see through villains with evil intentions."

The old Taoist boasted with a proud smile.

Afterwards, the team began to move laterally. When they touched the dark and approached the light-absorbing rock wall, they finally saw a ray of light. Not far from their feet was the entrance of the crack that entered the pit at the beginning. There were three people standing at the entrance. He kept looking into the dark pothole, as if he was discussing whether to enter or not.

They toss for so long, this is to return to the starting point again.

But at this time, the few people can't control so much, and they finally found the gap, and they all jumped out of the gap as if reborn. The three people standing at the entrance of the gap were Xu Anping, Monk Qianshi, and a strange old man who had separated before. This is another outsider who discovered the secret under the deep valley and descended into the underground palace along the vines they left outside.

Looking at the old man with a strange face, Jin An always felt very familiar, thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help being amused, isn't this the old man withered bamboo.

He had fought against the opponent once, so he was familiar with the aura that occasionally leaked from his body. Could it be that the evil gaze he felt just now came from the old man withered bamboo?The other party also recognized him?
Jin An pretended not to recognize the old man Kuzhu, cupped his fists towards Xu Anping and said gratefully, "Friend Xu Anping, we were able to get out of trouble this time, thanks to your perseverance in calling us, which allowed us to find a way to break the situation."

Xu Anping's skin was still as gentle as jade, his Taoist robe was clean, and his aura was as ethereal as if he had descended from a celestial being. It seemed that his pursuit of Xiao Ziming and the reversal of the world of yin and yang last night did not pose a threat to him.

When old friends reunited, Xu Anping also showed joy.

But after hearing Jin An's words, Xu Anping showed doubts: "What are you calling?"

Uh.

Jin An's other words came to an abrupt end, and he frowned: "Didn't you just call us fellow Daoist Xu?"

He turned his head and looked aside to cut the sword.

At this time, Jian Jian had put down the old Taoist priest, and he was sure that it was Taoist Xu who called them just now.

However, Jin An didn't listen to what Chijian said, because he found that the number of people in the team was wrong: "Where are the old man Qi and the Wu brothers who have been following us all the time?"

"Miss Hongyu, didn't the three of them walk with you?"

Jin An looked at Miss Hongyu who was standing alone.

Miss Hongyu was stunned for a moment, her complexion changed, and the next moment, Jin An, Chi Jian, and Miss Hongyu ran to the edge of the cliff and looked into the pothole, but it was pitch black inside, and it was impossible to see far away. , see nothing.

Jin An's face sank.

The old Taoist priest who also ran over at this time looked at the dark pothole, felt the chill on the back of his neck and said, "Little brother, did the three of them die inside?"

"Didn't the three of them walk with us all the time? When did the problem...?"

Although the old Taoist and the pair of Wu brothers are very different.

But at this time, he was somewhat saddened by the death of a rabbit. If they were one step late, the next person to die would be one of them, and maybe the next one would be his turn to be an old man.

At this moment, all four of them thought at the same time of the terrifying huge black figure lying on the hanging coffin in the prophecy of the third mural. Thinking that none of them noticed the strangeness of the old man Qi and the three of them, the old Taoist felt a little chilly.

But what made goosebumps on his arms even more was that seven of them went down, but after three of them died, there were still seven of them left. After thinking about it carefully, the content of the prophecy on the third mural became even more horrifying.

After listening to Jin An describe their experience in the pothole, the monk Qianshi testified for Xu Anping: "I can testify for Daoist Xu that we were always together along the way and never acted alone. We didn't see anything in the pothole." you."

After being stunned for a long time in the pothole, after coming out now, not only did he find three people missing from the team, Xu Anping himself even admitted that he never called them... Too many things happened, his thoughts were a little confused, Jin An calmed down After thinking for a while, I slowly figured it out. At that time, there were more than seven of them in the pothole!
Except for a terrifying shadow!

There is an eighth person!

The opponent is very capable and took the lead in finding a way to break the situation, but for some reason he refused to reveal his true identity, but hid in the dark to help.Since he can imitate Xu Anping's voice to guide them out of trouble, it means that the person has lived with them before and knows that Xu Anping has a friendly relationship with them.

Jin An thought about it more deeply. He and Xu Anping arrived at the foot of Shenshan Mountain on the same day, so the identity of the eighth person was either at the foot of Shenshan Mountain at that time, or he was in the team of Xiaoling King in the underground palace, because only this person There are two places where he and Xu Anping met.

Jin An frowned tightly.

Who is the opponent?

Why hide your identity and refuse to show up?
Could it be that the identity of the secretly helping person is really one of those Fengshui masters in Tianshi Mansion?Thinking of Feng Shui masters, he thought of Mr. Yi who is also a Feng Shui master.

After listening to Jin An and the others' experiences in the pit, Xu Anping and Monk Qianshi looked at each other. Although they knew that the pit was extremely dangerous, they still planned to go deep into the underground palace to find a deeper fairy relationship.

"It's just right, we have found a way to break the situation, and we will go down to the pit with fellow Daoist Xu. This time we will definitely pass through the hanging coffin formation on all sides." Jin An planned to go down to the bone pit again.
