Chapter 114: The 114th Star



Liu Jun saw Chu Qianli being carried on his back, and turned to look at Xu Zaiyuan, saying considerately: "Zaiyuan, if you need anything..."

"I just have a headache, not a leg pain." Xu Zaiyuan always felt that this scene was like a parent taking his children to play on the Jiqian Mountain.

Thirty minutes of walking is not a long time. Chu Qianli lay on Tan Muxing, counting his own heartbeats, and settled down steadily and steadily.

Putting aside the initial explosion of information pressure, Chu Qianli began to slowly adapt, especially now that she didn't have to walk. She entered an indescribable state, as if she was immersed in thinking, but also thinking about nothing.

The pictures on the wall initially make people feel dizzy, then the sense of touch disappears, followed by a state of transcendence. Every breath is relaxed and natural, looking up at the vastness of the universe, the heart is filled with comfort and contentment.

She seemed to see the boundless starry sky, and it seemed that she was a tiny star. She lived in the big universe, and yet she had her own little universe.

The heaven and earth are connected, and all things are united as one.

After stopping the thoughts, the mural will no longer cause you pain.

The group walked through the corridor and arrived at the Gate of Truth. The space suddenly opened up, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, as if all the resentment and anger in the past had been cleared away, leaving only clear and full thoughts.

Abner took a deep breath, looked up at the words on the wall of the hall, and said with emotion: "Every time I walk this road, I have new feelings."

Qiao couldn't help but exclaim: "I feel like my whole body has been purified, even the fatigue from running around has disappeared."

"I have forgotten how I got here." Meiru Z paused for a moment and then continued, "I remember when I was a child in my hometown, my grandmother taught me to weave hand strings and then tie small bells to them."

Xu Zaiyuan: "This path has the same effect as meditation."

"We do suspect that the corridor helps people enter meditation quickly," Abner said with a nostalgic look. "I still remember the feeling when I first walked through here. Before that, I was a busy person, always running around. Although I felt that I had a lot of things to do, when I looked back, I didn't know what I was busy with. I just remembered that I was always under pressure..."

“But when I walked this path and felt another world, I suddenly became enlightened.”

Tan Muxing asked curiously, "Feeling another world?"

"Yes, they are angels from the higher-dimensional world." Abner nodded with a smile. "My stress and pain all come from myself. In fact, they have nothing to do with the outside world. Even looking at the outside world later, I feel that those struggles are meaningless. Putting aside the differences in class, skin color, country, etc., human beings are originally one. We are just confused by the illusion."

Chu Qianli had been carefully put down by Tan Muxing. She stepped on solid ground and suddenly realized, "So this is a socialist road. Once you finish walking it, you will understand the community of human destiny!"

Tan Muxing: “?”

There is a dome-like vaulted ceiling above the hall, which is, as expected, covered with complex text and pictures. In the center is an old stone door with intricate carvings. The rocks at the bottom are mixed with red crystals, which are obviously mixed with baby stones.

There is a half-human-high stone pillar in front of the stone gate, like a base for placing treasures. The pillar is also carved with abstract patterns, which have something in common with the Kabbalah in ancient records.

"According to our investigation, the main mining vein is behind the Gate of Truth, but rashly removing the gate may trigger a chain reaction in the ruins. It is like a sophisticated mechanism treasure box. Forcible removal will activate the self-destruction program and even affect nearby magma activities."

Qiao: "How come the ruins near the magma have never been destroyed by the magma?"

"More than that." Abner shrugged. "Country H has experienced many earthquakes in history, but none of them have affected this place."

Chu Qianli: "This can only prove that the builder is very powerful. Whether it is Feng Shui or divination, he must have a very high level of fortune-telling, which is why he chose this place in the end."

"And they used special murals to confuse us." Xu Zaiyuan put down his fingers, looking helpless, and added, "It's not easy to tell fortunes here, the patterns will affect it."

He had to think of a divination consciously in the abyss, but he got a headache as soon as he thought of it. It felt like information was pouring in continuously, making it difficult for him to calm down completely.

The ruins here are located in a Feng Shui treasure land, which makes it very easy for fortune tellers to run into them. In addition, the pervasive information on the walls means that the power of the Xuanmen people will be greatly weakened, and they will be punished with what they are best at.

Maybe it's easier not to count here than to count.

Abner looked at Liu Jun and suggested, "Okay, next we just need to put the crystal ball into the base, and that's all I know. The rest needs your help to explore."

Liu Jun provided the small black box, Abner provided the code, the box was opened, revealing a crystal ball.

The crystal ball was placed on the stone pillar and fit tightly into the base with a crisp click.

The next second, a slight vibration occurred in the mine ruins, and even strange sounds came from the walls.

Qiao asked in panic: "Is this an earthquake? Is there a volcanic eruption?"

Everyone was waiting for the result with bated breath, when suddenly they saw a mechanism on the stone door rotating, revealing a round dial!

There are seven small beads on each direction of the dial, and in the center is the slot for the seven-star beads. It seems that the small beads will eventually fit into the slot, but now the beads have not fallen in, and the slot is empty.

"That's as far as we've come," Abner explained. "The other keys should have somewhere to go, but we can't find them in the lobby."

"Because it's not in the hall." Xu Zaiyuan stared at the dial, then raised his eyes to observe the stone gate and said firmly, "This is a map that records the remaining locations."

Chu Qianli muttered softly: "I think it looks like a star map..."

Mei Ru Z looked at Chu Qianli: "If it's a map, then you can understand it."

Pan Yicheng sent Huang Jue to the hospital, leaving only Chu Qianli who understood Feng Shui.

Chu Qianli originally wanted to study the stone gate again, but facing the eager gazes of the crowd, she immediately put this idea behind her. Instead, she clapped her hands confidently and called out, "Okay, since the comrades have come here from afar, let's work hard for the same ideal!"

As long as she deciphers the ruins and obtains the information of her predecessors, she may be able to find a way to solve her fate.

Liu Jun listened to her encouragement and said in astonishment, "I always feel that Professor Pan's words are too much."

Tan Muxing: "Your feeling is right." After all, she was able to deceive Lin and others at the beginning, all thanks to Professor Pan's imitation show.

Chu Qianli began to calculate the location based on the stone gate pattern and the dial. She shook her head after thinking for a while, trying not to be disturbed by the surrounding information, and focused on determining the location, like a small toad shaking frequently.

Liu Jun: "This is too unreasonable. People who understand metaphysics are suppressed, and people who don't understand can't solve the mystery."

"Perhaps this is the ruins' self-protection system." Abner said with a smile, "You know, we are challenging the geniuses who have visited this place before."

Although they have never been able to meet their predecessors in their lifetime, they have established a connection through the remains of the mines. There are only a limited number of geniuses in the same era, but here is a gathering of countless eras, and geniuses know best how to deal with geniuses.

"That's about it." Chu Qianli frowned and rubbed her temples, trying to dispel the pain in the back of her head. She handed the paper to Tan Muxing and asked him to standardize the drawings and data. She added, "There are six places in total, which just correspond to the remaining six keys. They are not too far from here."

Qiao stared at the seven-star bead and asked in surprise, "Six? But it looks like there are seven holes?"

Xu Zaiyuan stood beside the crystal ball and stone pillar. He also pressed his forehead with his fingers to resist the pain after the divination. He said, "There is a time limit here. If it is not completed within seven days, the ruins will be closed for a period of time."

Abner was stunned: "Indeed, every time we put the crystal ball, the dial did not appear for a while afterwards. I used to think it was related to the astronomical phenomenon..."

Mei Ru Z said decisively: "We have to search six places in seven days. If we don't split up, it will be too late."

"Let's divide them according to the key they belong to. It will be faster to group them this way."

The crystal ball was embedded in the hall's stone pillars, and the remaining keys were placed in different locations. Chu Qianli held the compass and tarot cards, Mei Ru Z held the Sanqing Bell, Xu Zaiyuan held the peach wood sword, Abner held the spirit pendant, and the Ruen Stone was assigned to Qiao.

The locations of the keys are carefully designed. For example, the Sanqing Bell, compass and peach wood sword are close to each other, while the tarot cards, spirit pendant and Runestone are next to each other, separated by the hall where the Door of Truth is located.

Although the key placement point is not far away, it is surrounded by mountains and the road may be a bit rugged.

Abner and Chu Qianli had two keys. He was afraid that she would be under too much pressure, so he said, "Why don't you give us one key and we can send another team to explore there."

Chu Qianli waved her hand: "It's okay, no need."

"But what if something unexpected happens and the exploration speed is not fast enough?"

"There is a speed called China speed."

"?"

Abner heard her solemn oath and said in admiration: "I still don't understand how you fooled Lin. I always feel that according to your usual speaking style, it is a miracle that he could mistake you two for the same kind of people."

Abner's words "the ruins belong to all mankind" made Lin furious. He didn't know how Lin was sure that Chu Qianli was an egoist who could be bought with money, even though she spoke more directly than he did.

Chu Qianli said calmly: "There is a miracle called the Chinese Miracle!"
