Chapter 049 The Function of the Formation
Yang Zengyue had already prepared Jiuxiao's sleeping place, right next to Shi Rongchuan.
After finishing his meal and digesting his food, Jiuxiao lay down on his mat, wrapping himself tightly with a quilt.
Shi Rongchuan followed suit.
On the other side of the curtain, Yang Zengyue lit a kind of incense she made herself. She placed a portion next to each person's mat. It was used to repel insects and prevent rats and ants.
She didn't know what kind of animals were underground, so she was prepared.
After doing all this, she and Chen Jiaer washed their faces with clean water, lay down on the mat with their clothes on, wrapped themselves in the duvet, and fell asleep.
Listening to the two even breathing sounds coming from behind the curtain, Shi Rongchuan couldn't fall asleep.
His mind was constantly thinking about what happened today. Master Jiu had a secret, and these two girls had an even bigger secret.
Although this underground palace looked strange, Shi Rongchuan thought it was not as strange as Yang Zengyue's disappeared backpack and her speed.
These are realms that cannot be achieved by human power.
What is the reason?
What kind of opportunities would it take for two young girls to master such martial arts?
That night, Shi Rongchuan didn't close his eyes until two in the morning.
The next morning, Shi Rongchuan was awakened by Master Jiu while he was still dreaming.
"Good morning, Master Jiu." Shi Rongchuan greeted Jiuxiao with a yawn.
Looking again, I saw that the curtain next to them had been removed, and the two girls' beds on the floor had been tidyed up and they were preparing breakfast.
Yang Zengyue heard the noise and threw a bottle of mouthwash and disposable wet wipes to Shi Rongchuan.
This made Shi Rongchuan feel a little embarrassed.
However, he still took his things and went to the side to take care of his appearance.
After tidying up, she and Chen Jiaer had already served the cooked frozen dumplings.
Yang Zengyue handed the dumplings to Jiuxiao: "Master, have breakfast." He also handed him a bottle of water.
Jiuxiao took it without asking any questions. After eating, he put the disposable bowls and chopsticks into a plastic bag and took them out to throw away when he went upstairs.
Yang Zengyue was worried that he might be delayed at noon, so he cooked a lot of breakfast and prepared bread and other dry food.
She and Chen Jiaer had already prepared it before Shi Rongchuan got up. The pot and firewood had already been prepared in the space.
Rongchuan had already become suspicious yesterday, so the two of them prepared food early this morning.
As for what Rongchuan suspected after he put it in his mouth, he didn't see the whole process anyway.
After Shi Rongchuan finished his breakfast, he tidied up his bed and returned his things to Yang Zengyue.
Jiuxiao was already waiting for them at the door. "The place we're going to will be quite windy and dusty, so everyone should wear dust masks and hats."
After saying that, he put on the mask that Zengyue had prepared for him, and also put on a pair of swimming goggles, for fear that the wind and sand would get into his eyes.
Shi Rongchuan looked at Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer and found them well prepared. He felt that they had all the equipment needed to go to heaven and earth!
He didn't bring that many things, so Jiuxiao gave him a piece of cloth to cover his face, leaving only the eyes uncovered.
This was what Master Qianyuan prepared for him when he came in before.
Although it's not pretty, it's still useful.
Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer did not put them on immediately, but put them in their pockets and waited until the time came to put them on.
The road to the wasteland is a long, dark and narrow corridor.
Unlike other places with candlesticks, here it was pure darkness.
There was only light from the flashlight.
The footsteps and breathing of the four people were particularly clear in the narrow passage.
Yang Zengyue looked around with the help of the flashlight. If her master Jiuxiao had not walked ahead, she probably would not have taken this path.
The light doesn't reach the end.
silence.
There was only the sound of footsteps and breathing.
How is it possible for such a corridor to have air circulation?
It wasn't until Jiuxiao stopped that Yang Zengyue knew they had arrived.
Looking at the time, they found that it took them an hour and a half to get out of the corridor.
After coming out of the tunnel, Yang Zengyue saw with the help of the searchlight that it was still pitch black in front of him.
There are no living creatures here.
She could feel the oppression here.
A feeling that is hard to describe.
It was as if there was a huge energy that was about to burst out.
Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer immediately became alert. She even stopped Jiuxiao who was about to step forward and said, "Master, let me go ahead. This place is very strange and I can't explain it."
Jiuxiao patted Yang Zengyue's hand and said, "Don't be nervous. I've been here before. It might feel a little strange, but it's safe."
At least it's definitely safe now.
It’s uncertain after the end of the world.
After Jiuxiao finished speaking, he asked Yang Zengyue to walk to an upright stone tablet.
There is a candlestick on the top of the stone tablet, and holding the candlestick is a bird-like auspicious beast with a pair of extremely beautiful eyes.
There was actually a stream of light in there.
Yang Zengyue stared at the auspicious beast, reached out and touched its crest feathers. She could feel a kind of joy coming from the heart of the auspicious beast.
This feeling is very strange.
She felt that this auspicious beast was alive!
She didn't know why she had this idea, but she kept it in mind, thinking maybe she could find the answer later.
Then she took out the candle from under the stone tablet, placed it in the depression on the back of the auspicious beast, and lit it with a lighter.
After Yang Zengyue lit the first candle, the sound of "pop...pop...pop" was heard eleven times in total, and then all the candles in this space lit up by themselves.
Shi Rongchuan no longer felt terrified. He felt that it would be unreasonable if there were no inexplicable phenomena in this underground palace.
Although his cognition has been subverted.
After the candles were lit, the four people saw a wasteland.
There is nothing on the wasteland.
Apart from the soil on the ground and the animals on the twelve stone tablets that look extremely special, this area of more than one acre in width can be said to be lifeless.
Considering that this is underground, this is the most practical approach.
Jiuxiao didn't move.
Instead, he turned and said to the three young men, "I don't know what this place does either. My master left me a message saying that there is a powerful formation hidden here that can even allow one to ascend to another world, but no one can use it."
There must have been outstanding practitioners in Xingyun Temple over the past thousand years. They came here and tried, but no one succeeded.
Jiuxiao knew that his master Qianyuan had also tried it, but in the end not only did he fail to find the so-called formation, he also didn't find anything special about it.
Shi Rongchuan was puzzled: "Master Jiu, why is this formation underground?"
Isn't it more convenient on the ground?
And no one could start it anyway.
No matter how powerful the formation is, it is just a decoration.
There are so many valleys in Sikun Mountain, any one of them can be used to build the formation. Burying it underground may be because it is simply unusable.
Jiuxiao doesn't know either.
After hearing this, Yang Zengyue was thoughtful: "Master, maybe this formation is not meant to let people here pass through. Is it possible that it is to prevent people over there from coming over?"
