Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 411 The strange circle of suspicion
Regarding the Hanging Soul Staircase, Gu Qinglan had only heard of it but never seen it before, so she knew only a little about it.Ding Ermiao and Wu Zhanzhan are well-known masters. Although they have never met them, their understanding of the Hanging Soul Ladder is much deeper than that of Gu Qinglan.

Seeing that Gu Qinglan didn't understand, Wu Zhanzhan stopped and explained with gestures with his hands.

"If it's a two-way hanging soul ladder, we can't go up. After going around a circle, we'll still be standing here. If it's a one-way hanging soul ladder, then if we go up, we will follow the original path and return to where we came in. At the entrance of the cave." Wu Zhanzhan explained:
"In other words, the two-way hanging soul ladder is a dead end. As long as you enter, you will always circle inside. The one-way hanging soul ladder is just a blocking mechanism, allowing you to retreat but not advance."

Gu Qinglan frowned and thought for a while, then murmured: "So that's it, I'm ignorant." There was a sense of loneliness in his tone.

After all, the Maoshan Ghost Hunting Sect has thousands of years of heritage that cannot be compared to a tomb robber.

Although tomb robbing is also passed down, and even later divided into many factions, such as the mountain Taoist who touched the gold captain, and the difference between the southern sect and the northern sect. The folk also have another name for the Tufuzi of the Taosha sect, but in the end, no systematic culture has been formed. What the tomb robbers passed down from generation to generation is nothing more than a little experience accumulated over a long period of time.

Experience is just experience, different from cultural inheritance.In an environment different from that of the predecessors, the experience of the predecessors often does not work, and may even kill the successor; but cultural inheritance is different, it has taken into account subsequent changes in the environment, and has an ever-changing basis. The system framework of the sect.

Of course, when it comes to cultural inheritance, there must be a spiritual factor.In the world, there are many short-lived state regimes that are short-lived.However, famous religions and universities can exist for a very long time. This is the embodiment of the spiritual power of cultural inheritance.

In front of Ding Ermiao and Wu Zhanzhan, Gu Qinglan inevitably felt a little inferior and disappointed after talking about her background and experience.

Naturally, Ding Ermiao and Wu Zhanzhan didn't notice the small fluctuation in Gu Qinglan's heart.Now that we are in a difficult situation, who has time to think about other people's thoughts?
"Okay, let's go up and find a way out! See if it's two-way or one-way." Wu Zhanzhan shook his hair and walked up first.

Gu Qinglan hummed, and followed Wu Zhanzhan up the steps, leaving Ding Ermiao behind.

The three walked and watched, Gu Qinglan still kept track of the time, and Wu Zhanzhan still counted the steps.

After Wu Zhanzhan counted more than twenty steps, she suddenly stopped and turned around and said: "Two-way hanging soul ladder."

Gu Qinglan's heart skipped a beat. Just now Wu Zhanzhan explained that the two-way hanging soul ladder was a dead end, so now, the three of them were already in a dead end.

Ding Ermiao looked past Gu Qinglan and glanced ahead. Sure enough, another dried female corpse appeared on the steps.Of course, this female corpse is not the first, but the last.

"What should we do now?" Gu Qinglan also saw the female corpse and asked.

Wu Zhanzhan tilted his head and said, "Go forward and take a look at each step."

In the passage where light and shadow flowed, Ding Ermiao and the others walked up the stairs without saying a word.Still in about 13 minutes, after walking through 380 four steps, the three of them returned to the starting point.

But this time the direction changed, and the first female corpse appeared on the steps above them.

"Is this weird staircase going up or down?" Gu Qinglan asked a little tiredly, leaning her back against the stone wall.

"Don't worry, sit down and rest for a while, and then think of a solution." Wu Zhanzhan took Gu Qinglan's hand and sat down on the steps.After walking around in the tunnel with mummies everywhere for a long time, I felt a little sore in my back and legs.

Ding Ermiao touched his chin, rested against the stone wall, and said thoughtfully: "Actually, there is no distinction between up and down on the Soul Suspended Ladder. The up and down we see are just illusions caused by the changes in light and shadow. These shiny bloodstones are the culprit. .”

Wu Zhanzhan said nothing, closed his eyes and raised his head slightly, thoughtfully.

"If Li Qingdong is here, and if his heavenly disk can be used, we can easily figure out where the way out is." Ding Ermiao continued: "Unfortunately, we can't go back, or we can bring Li Qingdong in too."

"It's not that simple." Wu Zhanzhan opened his beautiful eyes, rolled his eyes over him, and said, "Don't forget, the time and space inside the Hanging Soul Staircase may not be the same as outside. The Heavenly Secret Disk is probably useless here."

Gu Qinglan was a little anxious and asked: "Can your spells be used here? Can you use spells to find a passage?"

"According to what my junior sister just said, there is a distorted time and space inside the Hanging Soul Ladder. Then Maoshan Taoism may not be able to be performed in different time and space. It is like a stone that can float in a mercury pool. , but thrown into the sea, it can only sink to the bottom.”

Ding Ermiao took off the umbrella, pulled out the five-color flag from the interlayer of the umbrella cloth, and then chanted a mantra and threw it out.

Sure enough, the five-color flag fell out of control and fluttered down.

"I told you it was useless. Don't you believe it?" Wu Zhanzhan curled his lips.

"Time and space is distorted?" Gu Qinglan asked Wu Zhanzhan with a black line on her head, "How to explain it? Are we not on the earth, but in another world? This passage is a time tunnel?"

Wu Zhanzhan smiled and said: "Of course it is on the earth. However, we have entered a small-scale strange circle. Part of the time and space in the strange circle is distorted, beyond our normal understanding."

It seemed that Wu Zhanzhan laughed for the first time since receiving the news of Long Shuanghuo's death.

"Still don't understand..." Gu Qinglan shook her head blankly.

Ding Ermiao smiled bitterly and said, "Junior sister, don't talk so much now, just find a way to get out."

Wu Zhanzhan flicked his bangs, and said, "Of course I know, but if we want to go out, we must first figure out the structure of this hanging soul ladder. Then we can find the pass together, so that we can succeed."

"Okay, tell me." Ding Ermiao and Gu Qinglan said at the same time.

"Fundamentally speaking, the Suspended Soul Ladder is also a formation. ... Let me first tell you the principle of the Suspended Soul Ladder. In fact, what we are encountering now is an 8-character strange circle Suspended Soul Ladder. It's just that the length is too long. Long, we can't notice it obviously." Wu Zhanzhan thought for a while and said slowly:

"About the 8-character circle, let me explain again. I give you a piece of paper and let an ant crawl on the paper. Can you let the ant crawl to the other side of the paper without passing through the edge of the paper or drilling holes? go?"

Let the ants crawl from one side of the paper to the other side without drilling holes or passing through the edge?Gu Qinglan thought about it in her mind for a long time, then shrugged and said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Ding Ermiao rolled her eyes, noncommittal.Long Shuanghuo is proficient in formations. Wu Zhanzhan studied under Long Shuanghuo and must be a master at it.

Wu Zhanzhan smiled strangely and said, "It's possible, it's entirely possible."
