Chang Yan looked carefully and saw the stars in the mirror converging and vaguely forming three words.
"Three horizontal lines and one vertical line, is this the character for 'king'? What are the two characters after that?"
Chang Yan muttered to himself, then thought of something and looked at the few surviving cultivators at the back of the group. "Is there anyone among you with the surname Wang?"
The wandering cultivators looked at each other and shook their heads.
Wang Chuxiao looked at the Tianjian Mirror with a slightly surprised expression. Although the writing on the mirror was blurry, he recognized it at a glance. It was his own name.
Without waiting for Chang Yan to continue thinking, he said directly: "If I am not mistaken, the person pointed at by the mirror is me."
Chang Yan was startled at first, but then he quickly figured it out and explained:
"That's right! In this sea, it's difficult to distinguish north from south. We can only use people to represent directions. The Heaven Monitoring Mirror means that we should swim in the direction of Senior Wang from the position of the Heaven Monitoring Mirror."
After saying that, he took the lead and swam to Wang Chuxiao's side, saying loudly: "There is no time to lose, let's hurry up and get out!"
Everyone responded and followed closely.
…
At the same time, in Gulin.
Following Xiang Sheng's instructions, Yuan Jing used her visual ability every five miles or so to improve the distribution of the earth's veins.
There are many forks in the earth veins, which are recorded on the jade slips, like an irregular and extremely complex network.
However, Xiang Sheng was able to accurately find the safest passage every time. Along the way, they didn't even encounter a single snow corpse.
Such magical means made Yuan Jing marvel more than once, and she became more convinced of Xiang Sheng in her heart, and obeyed Xiang Sheng's orders to the point of obedience.
I'm afraid that now, except for dying, she will do anything Xiang Sheng asks her to do.
The two worked together and made rapid progress. In just half a day, they were out of the ancient forest and arrived in front of a black cliff.
The cliff walls are as smooth as a mirror, towering into the clouds, extending to the left and right, with no end in sight.
Xiang Sheng stopped at the edge of the ancient forest, made a hand gesture with his right hand, threw out a paper man and walked to the front of the cliff. Seeing that there was no danger, he brought Yuan Jing closer.
Unexpectedly, as the two approached, a flash of light suddenly appeared on the black cliff, revealing three doors.
Yuan Jing showed surprise: "Sister Li, it seems this is the exit."
Xiang Sheng put away the paper figurine. When he heard Yuan Jing's words, his face showed no joy at all. He just said, "Use your magic power again."
Yuan Jing had just displayed her magical powers in the forest not long ago, but when she heard Xiang Sheng's order, she did it without saying a word.
She skillfully pinched her fingers to wipe her eyes, then opened them to look at the ground below the cliff.
This sight caused her expression to change drastically, and she exclaimed, "Sister Li, the earth vein has disappeared! I clearly saw an earth vein here in the forest, how come it's gone?"
Xiang Sheng's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this. He reached out to his storage ring, took out a blank jade slip, and handed it to Yuan Jing: "Draw it."
Yuan Jing understood Xiang Sheng's meaning and quickly took the jade slip and began to carve it.
She first copied the last section of the earth vein she saw onto the jade slip, then drew a horizontal line on one-third of it and handed it to Xiang Sheng.
"Look, sister, what I can see now is only one-third of the earth veins. The rest of the earth veins seem to be blocked by this black cliff."
Xiang Sheng nodded slightly, put away the jade slip, looked at the three doors in front of him, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Jingjing, which of these three doors do you think is real?"
Yuan Jing was stunned when he heard this, then scratched his head, walked to the three doors and looked at them carefully.
After a moment, she suddenly felt happy and waved towards Xiang Sheng, saying, "Sister Li, come and take a look. This fan must be real."
Xiang Sheng approached as instructed and followed Yuan Jing's instructions. He saw an extremely inconspicuous mark next to the middle door.
If translated into snake and insect language, it seems to be the word "life".
Life...the way to life?
Xiang Sheng frowned slightly.
This was inconsistent with her guess.
When Sui Lian was fighting with Gulin Snow Corpse before, she saw that those snow corpses had snake and insect pattern restrictions on their bodies, which should be the products of the Tianlong Emperor's Tomb.
Even without the influence of the illusion, it would be dangerous for ordinary people to encounter it.
In such a dangerous place, is it really that easy to survive?
Seeing Xiang Sheng remain silent for a long time, Yuan Jing assumed she didn't recognize the mark and couldn't help but add, "This mark looks very similar to a part of the snake and insect script restriction."
"Forbidden rune?"
Xiang Sheng quickly came back to his senses, looked at the mark on the door again, and then walked to the other two doors to observe them, and finally a smile appeared on his face.
So that's how it is.
She was very familiar with snake and insect characters, as well as the restrictions imposed by them. When she saw the mark, she subconsciously thought of words rather than runes.
But Yuan Jing was different. She knew very little snake and insect script, and all she had learned since elementary school were forbidden runes. So when she saw the mark, the first thing she thought of was a restriction, not words.
This sequence almost made her miss an important clue.
In this way, all the speculations can be connected.
Yuan Jing was standing nearby, watching Xiang Sheng groping at the other door. She was completely confused and couldn't help but ask, "Sister Li, was I wrong? Is the real door yours?"
"no."
Xiang Sheng groped around and said without raising his head: There is a saying in ancient times that spiritual veins nourish people. The earth veins often represent vitality. In this imperial tomb, they represent the way to life.
The fact that we have not encountered any danger along the way is the best proof.
You just said you couldn't see any ley lines ahead, what does that mean?"
Yuan Jing understood and felt her scalp tingle. "Sister, are you saying... these three doors are fake?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a muffled sound suddenly came from Xiang Sheng's side.
Yuan Jing looked closely and found that Xiang Sheng had picked up a ball of black mud from somewhere on the door.
