Rising Xianxia World

Chapter 43 Choose Shimen
"There are only four doors here, why don't we try them one by one?" Jiu Piaoling pouted.

"The problem is that we can only choose one of the doors now." Gu Qiubai sighed.

"Why?" Ninth Piaoling tilted her head, not knowing why.

"Didn't you realize that it's hard for us to even move now?" Gu Qiubai said.

He found that although he could use his spiritual power now, his body was so heavy that it was difficult to do ordinary jumps.

In this case, in fact, it is not much different from the spiritual power being sealed. At most, a few ordinary formulas can be pinched out.

"That's okay. Although it's hard for us to move, it's still okay to go to the door."

Gu Qiubai shook his head, it seems that the Ninth Piaoling was only thinking about the contents of the ancient scroll, and ignored all the details.

He didn't pretend to be a joke, and said directly: "The problem is, we really don't have much time left. Look at the Xuanyin sunflower water under the stone pier."

Ninth Piaoling looked down suspiciously, and after a while, finally came to his senses, and whispered: "You mean that the Xuanyin sunflower water will flood up soon?"

Gu Qiubai nodded, and said: "I calculated carefully just now, there are nine stone piers in the underground palace, and Xuanyin sunflower water will flow out every five minutes, and each time it rises about three inches, and the height of the stone piers It is about 5 inches long, that is to say, the Xuanyin sunflower water can overflow the stone pier and reach us in about five to ten minutes."

After a pause, Gu Qiubai continued: "The distance from us to any door is about 30 feet, and there is a stone pier every three feet. With our current moving speed, it may take us some time to get to the door." For about [-] minutes, if you choose the wrong door, you will have no chance to choose another door."

If they made a wrong choice, let alone choose again, on the way back, the Xuanyin Sunflower Water had already flooded up, and when he and Jiu Piaoling came into contact with the Xuanyin Sunflower Water, they would immediately lose their bones.

Gu Qiubai finally understood why there were four doors in this underground palace, which clearly meant for them to choose one door to go out.

With a [-]/[-] chance, if you choose the right one, you will live, if you choose the wrong one, you will die!

Of course, it does not rule out that these four doors are all dead doors, and there is no way to get out if you choose any door.

However, it would be too boring to use such precious Xuanyin sunflower water, design such an exquisite mechanism, and specially apply gravity in this underground palace, just to play with the intruders.

After all, if they can design such ingenious traps, if they really want to kill them, there are probably hundreds of more convenient ways!
"Huh? You just analyzed these?" Jiu Piaoling looked at Gu Qiubai with a slightly strange look.

Gu Qiubai shrugged and said, "Although I haven't checked countless papers, this kind of simple on-the-spot analysis is still a little bit."

He was secretly refreshed, and it felt good to pretend to be aggressive in front of a beautiful girl.

Hearing Gu Qiubai's slightly teasing voice, Jiu Piaoling blushed. Doesn't this mean that this girl can't even do simple analysis?

He also specifically emphasized what he said just now that there are countless grades, this bastard is really hateful.

But then a hint of doubt appeared on her face, and she said: "What is the minute you just said, why have I never heard of it?

Gu Qiubai was taken aback, but he had forgotten that this place was similar to ancient times, and there was no minute in the timekeeping unit.

But he quickly regained his composure, and said, "Well, this is a way of timing that I personally invented. It takes about 50 cups of tea in 3 minutes."

Ninth Piaoling snorted softly, and didn't pursue too much, but said: "Since you are so confident in what you said, you should know which door to choose, right?"

Although her tone was very casual, her eyes still looked at Gu Qiubai expectantly, no one would want to die in this kind of place inexplicably.

"Uh, I haven't thought of it yet." Gu Qiubai said helplessly.

Ninth Piaoling suddenly looked like a deflated ball, with a bitter face and slightly red eyes: "Then what should I do, is it possible to choose a door at random?"

Gu Qiubai didn't answer, this is of course impossible, there must be details that the two of them overlooked in this underground palace, this is the key to getting out.

His eyes looked at the four stone gates, but the distance was too far, coupled with the dark environment in the underground palace, he could only see some kind of totem carved on the stone gates.

There seems to be a thin layer of mist in front of these totems. It is obvious that some kind of prohibition or magic has been imposed, and they deliberately do not want people to find out.

Gu Qiubai's eyes flashed, these restrictions are a bit deceiving, as if they are deliberately reminding that there is a problem here.

"It seems that the totems on these four doors are the key to choosing Shimen." Gu Qiubai pondered.

His eyes narrowed slightly, spiritual power frantically rushed towards his eyes, and the three Gouyu turned in his eyes in an instant, they were the eyes of Pofa Tianyan.

The insight eye of the law-breaking eye has the function of seeing through obstacles, and it should also be able to be used to see through restrictions.

His eyes looked towards any door, the Gouyu in his eyes turned faster and faster, and the faint totem seemed to become more and more obvious.

Just when Gu Qiubai was about to see the entire totem through the restraint, the restraint in front of him turned over for a while, and a bright light shot straight out, shooting towards Gu Qiubai's eyes suddenly!
Surprised, Gu Qiubai immediately closed his eyes and released the Pofa Heavenly Eye, but he was still slightly injured.

"what--"

He snorted, covered his right eye, and a trace of blood flowed from the eye socket.

Ninth Piaoling was still looking around which door to choose, when he suddenly heard Gu Qiubai's call, he couldn't help but look back.

I saw Gu Qiubai half squatting on the ground, covering his eyes with one hand, with faint blood flowing down, his expression painful.

She couldn't help being startled, knelt down and said in concern: "Why are your eyes bleeding suddenly, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Gu Qiubai waved his hand.

He scolded his mother in his heart, the person who designed this underground palace is really insidious and shameless, and there is even a means of counterattack hidden in the restriction.

If he hadn't reacted quickly just now and retracted Sharingan in time, then his eyes would not be as simple as bleeding.

"Wipe it off." Jiu Piaoling handed over a white handkerchief.

Gu Qiubai took it, rubbed his eyes, and wiped off the blood stains, and it got a little better.

He stood up and looked at Shimen just now, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

One-stop?

At the last moment just now, he finally saw clearly the totem carved on the stone gate, which looked like a dragon.

What do you mean?
Gu Qiubai didn't know why, but his heart was still in a fog.

"What did you do just now, why are your eyes bleeding?" Jiu Piaoling asked.

"Looking at the pattern on the stone gate, it seems that some mechanism has been touched, and it has been backlashed." Gu Qiubai said.

"The pattern on the stone gate?" Jiu Piaoling couldn't help looking at the stone gate.

At this moment, there was another shock in the underground palace. Just like before, there were traces of silver water flowing out of the nine stone piers, and the water level rose again.

Looking at the rising water below, Gu Qiubai was still somewhat anxious, as he was only given about 40 minutes.

"I saw the pattern on the door just now, it seems to be a tiger." At this moment, the voice of Ninth Piao Ling came.

"Huh?" Gu Qiubai looked at Jiu Piaoling, "Are you sure?"

"That's right." Jiu Piaoling nodded, "I couldn't see clearly just now, but after the earthquake in the underground palace, the light reflected by the Xuanyin sunflower water just shone on the door, and I saw the pattern on it, but it took a while. Short, in the blink of an eye, I only saw the outline."

Gu Qiubai nodded, he understood the cheating mechanism. It is estimated that whenever the Xuanyin sunflower water is released, the restriction will be lifted automatically, and then the Xuanyin sunflower water will illuminate the pattern on the stone gate.

Dragon, tiger?

He tilted his head and thought for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he probably guessed what the pattern on the door was about!
But just in case, I still want to verify it. He pointed to the remaining two doors and said: "When the underground palace shakes later, you look at this door, and I look at the other one."

Ninth Piaoling knew what Gu Qiubai saw, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

Five minutes later, the underground palace shook again, a bright light shone on the stone gate, and disappeared in a flash.

Gu Qiubai looked at the pattern on the stone gate, and the corners of his mouth curled up, it really is!

"I see, it's a bird!" Ninth Piaoling's voice also came.

Dragons, tigers, birds, what he saw was a turtle with a snake on its back!

Undoubtedly, the totems engraved on these four doors are the four elephants, the four divine beasts!

Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, Xuanwu!
Just what exactly does that mean?
Even if he knew these patterns, it seemed that he couldn't help him choose the correct stone gate.

His eyes looked towards the underground palace, wanting to see if there were any omissions.

"How, what did you find?" Jiu Piaoling was a little anxious, "It's really too late for us not to choose again."

More than ten minutes had passed, if they didn't hurry up, even if they found the correct stone gate, they would not have time to reach the gate.

Gu Qiubai didn't make a sound, continued to look at the surrounding scene, and even opened the Pofa Heavenly Eye.

On the surrounding walls, there is nothing but the night pearl, and there is no hint of it.

"There must be something else that I haven't discovered." Gu Qiubai thought secretly.

and many more!

Gu Qiubai's body shook like an electric shock, and when he looked at the luminous pearl on the wall, his eyes suddenly lit up!
He turned around and scanned all the night pearls in the underground palace, and after a while, he exhaled slowly.

"I think I know which door to choose." Gu Qiubai smiled and looked at Jiu Piaoling.
