"I'll tell you, there's a problem there! Brother Gu can't just scold me."
Fengjian Qingli still felt a little aggrieved and said, pointing at the cave on the edge of the cliff.
Gu Wei pressed his head, signaling him not to speak, and then flew up using Qinggong.
The cliff was very high and had a smooth surface. There were no stone steps to climb around it. There was a cave on the top. Fengjian Qingli got stuck in a gap below while climbing the cave.
Gu Wei's clothes fluttered, and he easily reached the cave in a few steps.
After walking a little further inside, he discovered the problem.
This cave doesn't look natural at all, but rather like one that was dug by humans. There are no undercurrents or stalactites, the ground is soft, and there are traces of hoes and axes on the mountain walls.
Gu Wei even saw a few pieces of clothing in the corner, probably accidentally left behind by the workers who had been mining before.
But why dig such a cave?
Gu Wei turned around, looked into the distance, and was suddenly stunned.
The sky is high, thousands of trees form a forest, sparse lights are lit in the distance, and the dark blue lake is like a piece of clear amber.
And this cave...is located exactly at the extension point of the central axis of the lake, facing the small island in the center of the lake.
So this cave is the center of the Bagua formation!
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the lake.
Through the refraction of light and shadow, Xie Ling also comprehended some of the mysteries of the formation. He suddenly jumped out of the water and looked towards the cave facing the center of the lake.
The two of them looked at each other and were both a little surprised.
Xie Ling made a gesture to Gu Wei, who understood it immediately, walked into the cave and began to break the formation.
Xie Ling swam to the small island in the center of the lake.
With a high degree of tacit understanding, there is no need to say anything. Just a glance from a distance is enough to make them understand each other.
Breaking the formation is actually similar to solving a geometry math problem. Gu Wei finds the center of the formation by constructing a terrain model in his mind.
Hills, rocks, woods, lakes...any visible objects are spread out into a simple drawing paper in Gu Wei's mind, and Gu Wei's mind drifts, constructing connected straight lines and center points on the drawing.
Xie Ling picked up a branch and made a simple draft on the ground.
This formation is the Yin-Yang Bagua formation.
It requires one person to break the Yang formation and one person to break the Yin formation, which is extremely complicated.
The south of the mountain and the north of the water is yang, and the north of the mountain and the south of the water is yin.
Xie Ling swam to the other side of the island, and Gu Wei used his Qinggong skills to reach the back of the cave.
An hour passed.
Xie Ling suddenly threw away the branch in her hand and looked up at the cave.
Gu Wei was faster than Xie Ling and had been waiting there for a long time.
Seeing Xie Ling stop, Gu Wei turned around and began to fiddle with the trees near the cave. As soon as the sword came out, countless trees fell to the ground.
Xie Ling was also moving or chopping trees and rocks, with sand and rocks flying around him, and his figure was blurred.
Fengjian Qingli was about to fall asleep while waiting downstairs, but was suddenly brought back to his senses by the sound of a huge tree collapsing.
Looking up, I saw Gu Wei holding a sword, his shadow almost dancing among the trees.
His eyes widened and he shouted anxiously, "Brother Gu, what are you doing? Sister Xie Ling hasn't been found yet! Don't be impulsive!"
Gu Wei rolled his eyes coldly, flew down, held the sword in his right hand, held his collar with his left hand, and led him through the mountains and forests, across the lake, and to the small island in the center of the lake.
Xie Ling looked at Feng Jian Qingli, one of Gu Wei's men, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Why is he here too?"
Feng Jian Qingli hadn't come back to his senses yet, but when he suddenly saw Xie Ling, his heart was finally at ease. He scratched his head and said, "What are you doing? I don't understand anything at all."
Xie Ling looked towards the pavilions not far away, "Look."
Fengjian Qingli followed Xie Ling's gaze and her eyes paused.
The originally bare island had completely changed its appearance.
Pavilions and towers are built one after another, intertwined and winding, with winding corridors and high eaves. They are magnificent and exquisite. Each pillar is carved with intricate totems, which look mysterious and distant, just like a palace in the sky.
It is completely different from the modern style. It is elegant and magnificent, and looks a bit like the buildings from ancient times in ancient books.
Feng Jianqingli blurted out, "This is the architectural style of the Zhou Dynasty. I have seen the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, Chaoge, in my grandfather's book. This is the most common building in Chaoge City."
Xie Ling was surprised: "The most common?"
Feng Jian Qingli nodded, her eyes full of yearning, "That was a glorious era, with talented people emerging in large numbers and people from all over the world paying homage to them."
Xie Ling didn't know much about the history of the Zhou Dynasty. She just felt that the buildings in front of her were magnificent and the heavy sense of history was overwhelming, which made her heart and soul tremble.
Gu Wei walked in front and said, "Let's go in and take a look."
The three of them walked inside.
After walking in, people feel even smaller. The towering roof almost blocks half of the night sky, and the moon hangs far away in the sky.
Countless tall towers stand tall, and any stone sculpture on the roadside looks lifelike. Wind chimes are hung on the eaves of the corridor, making crisp sounds.
On the three thousand white jade steps, a vermilion gate stands tall and majestic, and the moon hangs in the sky far away.
Gu Wei walked the fastest. He looked at the keyhole for a while and turned around: "A Ling, did you bring the jade seal?"
Xie Ling took out the jade seal from the space, walked forward and handed it to Gu Wei.
Gu Wei placed the jade seal in the keyhole, turned it gently, and successfully opened the lock.
Xie Ling pushed the door open, and after a heavy "creak" sound, a statue appeared in front of everyone.
The man had a resolute face, wore a tall crown on his head, and a long robe that dragged on the ground. Every fold on his clothes was lifelike, as if dancing in the wind, and he was holding a golden brocade box in his arms.
Gu Wei recognized at a glance that this brocade box was the same one they had seen in Jiaozhou.
He walked forward and pulled out the brocade box. Sure enough, there was a jade seal and a piece of sheepskin fragment inside. This jade seal, like the previous one, was incomplete and needed to be repaired.
Cinnabar is needed for repair. Gu Wei looked for it but didn't see any cinnabar nearby.
At this moment, Fengjian Qingli, who had been squatting on the ground, spoke.
"Wait, look at the words engraved on the base of this statue."
As soon as the two of them squatted down, Fengjian Qingli exclaimed.
“Oh my god!!!”
