Chapter 675: The Gate of Life
"It's indeed back to the original place." Du Ye said.
Ah Hu's face flushed red and he was a little at a loss.
"I... I'm sure it's heading towards the north..." he said hesitantly.
"This place is a little weird. It's not your fault." Tangli said, "Come out, everyone."
Tang Li said this to the secret guard.
She was afraid that the secret guard would get lost.
This place is so weird.
Although secret guards have their own rules, special circumstances must be handled specially.
After Tangli finished speaking, there was no movement.
"Fourteen." Tangli called again.
A figure fell from the tree above her head. It was Fourteen.
"Listen to my wife and come out." Fourteen said.
The nine figures appeared in front of them as if out of thin air.
These people are all dressed the same way, and at first glance, they look like Fourteen was copied and pasted.
Tangli counted them and there were ten of them. Fortunately, none of them were lost.
The other people didn't think anything of these ten people who suddenly appeared, but Ah Hu was so shocked that his eyes widened.
The group continued to move forward, with the secret guards following Tangli and Sanbao, their presence was very low.
This time, Ah Hu was more cautious and carefully identified the direction.
However, they still returned to where they started.
Everyone's faces looked unhappy. If they were trapped here forever, the food they brought would be eaten up sooner or later. It was so cold and there were wild beasts everywhere in the mountains. It would be very dangerous.
Ah Hu's face turned completely pale.
"I still walked in here... I was obviously very careful..." Ah Hu said.
"What's going on?"
"The last time I came in, I was also trapped. I kept moving forward, and kept going back to where I was. I was completely panicked, so I knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging the gods for help. I said my mother was sick and was waiting for my medicine to heal her... I kept kowtowing, kept kowtowing..."
"The gods appeared?" Sanbao followed up his words and asked, a little curious. Are there really gods in this world?
"I...I just fainted." Ah Hu said.
Sanbao: "...Oh."
"When I woke up, I found myself in a different place. I walked out... It must be the appearance of a god!" Ah Hu said.
No wonder Ah Hu walked so cautiously. It turned out that he was afraid of walking into here. But it was unavoidable and they walked in.
Or rather, this may be the only way forward.
"Husband... Madam, you can't reach the ancient clan's place. You can't get in. This is a ghost... a ghost wall..." Ah Hu said hesitantly.
Trapped in a maze?!
The guards suddenly felt that the forest was gloomy and the wind was chilly. Their faces turned pale and they were a little at a loss.
"Madam, what should we do?"
Do they have to ask the gods to save them like Ah Hu did?
"I'll try to figure it out."
Tang Li was actually unsure of what was going on; she had never encountered such a situation before. However, she remained calm. She was the backbone of this group, and the more things got like this, the more she couldn't panic.
Sure enough, seeing her calm, the guards all breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Li looked at Du Ye: "Aye, have you ever seen anything like this?"
Du Ye shook his head.
Du Ye is very knowledgeable, but he has never seen...
"It's not a ghost wall, it's probably a formation." Tang Li said, "Back in the Battle of Yiling, Zhuge Liang used the Bagua Formation to trap Lu Xun's 100,000-man army."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that it wasn't a ghost wall.
"Ah Hu was able to get out probably because of the help of the ancient tribesmen," said Tang Li.
There must be some kind-hearted people among the ancient tribesmen, who perhaps happened to pass by and were moved by Ah Hu’s kindness and sent him out.
Ah Hu has such good luck, but they may not have it. What's more, they want to enter Wushan, and the ancient people are even less likely to let them in.
"Good news! We're on the right track. The Ancient Clan is just ahead. This formation might be used by the Ancient Clan to protect themselves. Otherwise, no one would have found the Ancient Clan for so many years."
Tang Li continued, "Bad news! We are trapped. Only by breaking this formation can we find the ancient clan."
What she said gave everyone hope.
"How do we break this formation?" a guard couldn't help but ask.
"Let me think about it." Tangli said, "It's getting dark, let's find a place to stay for the night."
Finally, they chose a flat area in front of a huge rock, which could block the wind and wild beasts, and they lit a fire on the flat area.
Sanbao huddled beside Tangli, eating dry food.
She had been eating dry food for a few days and was craving meat...
Sanbao looked around and found that a figure was missing.
Where is the master?
"Mom, where is Master?" Sanbao was very worried.
Tang Li doesn't allow anyone to run around, but Du Ye is different.
Du Ye couldn't break the formation, but at least he could find where they were and wouldn't get lost.
"I'll be back soon."
After a while, the master came back.
The master was actually holding two rabbits in his hands!
The master threw the rabbit to Wangyou, who took it, processed it with a knife, and then roasted it.
Sanbao watched eagerly.
"Wipe your saliva." Tang Li said with a smile.
Ah! Is she drooling in front of so many uncles?!
Sanbao's little face turned red, and he quickly wiped the corners of his mouth, only to find that they were dry and there was no saliva at all.
"Mom, you're lying." Sanbao said coquettishly.
Tang Li smiled and hugged the little girl in his arms. After a while, the little girl's head came out again and she smelled the fragrance.
As she expected, the meat was finally roasted and Sanbao got a rabbit leg.
After eating the meat, the little girl was finally satisfied.
The secret guards and bodyguards took turns to keep watch, and the group arrived safely during the day.
For the next two days, everyone tried to break the formation.
But if he didn't know the key to the formation, he would be like a headless fly, spinning in circles.
Ah Hu kowtowed until he fainted, but no god came out to lead the way.
With food dwindling, water supplies running out, and no streams to be found, the situation was dire.
Such situations are consuming everyone's hope and patience.
Even Tangli felt a little tired.
If they continue like this, they won't be able to hold on for much longer.
Returning to the same place again, the guards were a little overwhelmed.
"I'm back again..."
"No matter which direction you go, come back..."
"Will we be trapped here forever?"
Tangli asked everyone to rest where they were.
Tangli sat down with his eyes closed, resting.
She thought of Wei Qing and the two babies, and the more she thought about it, the more panicked she felt.
At this time, a pair of small hands were massaging her shoulders.
When Tangli opened his eyes, he saw Sanbao busy at work.
"Mom is tired, please massage her shoulders." Sanbao said sweetly.
There was a low pressure in the team, but the little girl was not affected at all. She was still full of energy, like a little sun.
"Aren't you afraid?" Tang Li asked softly.
"Don't be afraid, mother is here, we will definitely be able to get out." Sanbao said.
Tangli felt inexplicably relieved. Yes, she was a lucky charm and she would definitely be able to get out.
Tangli picked up a few stones from the ground and arranged them to form the formation.
Du Ye squatted beside her and studied with her.
The two of them didn't know much about the formation. They only knew that the Bagua formation usually had eight gates, namely Rest, Life, Injury, Stop, Scenery, Death, and Shock. They needed to find the Life Gate to get out.
Sanbao's gaze fell on Wangyou, and he saw him frowning and in a daze.
He spent a lot of time in a daze these past two days.
Sambo walked up to him and poked his cheek.
"Don't push yourself too hard," said Sanbao.
She knew that Wangyou had been trying hard to recall the past and wanted to help everyone out of their predicament.
But restoring memory is not that easy.
Wangyou nodded, but his heart sank even more.
The better his master treated him, the more guilty he felt.
If only he could remember to take everyone out instead of wandering around here, becoming more and more desperate.
"Let's go see if Mother and Master have any new discoveries!"
Sanbao pulled Wangyou to Tangli.
Tang Li and Du Ye both frowned.
"Where is the way out?" Tang Li regretted not studying the formation more.
This difficult problem trapped her to death.
Wangyou looked at the placed stones, and some vague fragments suddenly flashed through his mind.
"People outside the mountain are greedy and cunning. We absolutely cannot let them in. That's why our ancestors set up a mountain-protecting formation. This formation is derived from the Bagua formation, but it's different. This is the Xiumen..."
In his memory, there was a rough big hand holding a stone and placing it, and a low voice sounded in his ears.
Wangyou gritted his teeth, trying not to miss a word. After a while, he opened his eyes.
"The exit is here." He suddenly pointed to a direction.
Tangli suddenly looked at Wangyou and felt that his voice was like the sound of nature.
