Chapter 1534 Nine Palaces and Eighty-one Grids
After hearing what Mao Buhui said, my heart was immediately shocked. Mu Yunxi beside me was also surprised: "There is only one entrance, how could we go wrong?"
Hearing this, Mao Buhui shook his head and said: "It is rumored that the headquarters of the Hundred Flowers Alliance is a huge formation, and this formation is called Nine Palaces and Eighty-one Grids, which means that the internal structure of the entire Hundred Flowers Alliance headquarters is equivalent to a magic cube. When the Nine Palaces After the eighty-one grids were activated, every space inside the Hundred Flowers Alliance became an independent grid that would rotate autonomously. This formation was created by the first leader of the Hundred Flowers Alliance, Fairy Mu Yue, and only the leader of the Hundred Flowers Alliance knew its operating principle. Qian Yu, they must have started fighting, and Luo Hua Wu Hen must have been ruthless, so he activated the formation. Even if he died, he would not let anyone escape from here. "
"Doesn't that mean that this place... has become a cemetery?" Wang Zhenhong was stunned.
He was right. If the so-called Nine Palaces and Eighty-one Grids were really as mysterious as Mao Buhui said, then these grids would be running randomly. Unless one was extremely lucky, it would be impossible to find the original exit because the grids were already in chaos. It would be almost impossible to run them back to their original state.
"That's right." Mao Buhui nodded. "I have seen some secrets in the library of Mount Mao. Five hundred years ago, the Hundred Flowers Alliance was besieged by various sects and was almost destroyed. The leader of that alliance, Fairy Feihua, activated a formation, which not only trapped all the people who came to besiege the Hundred Flowers Alliance, but also trapped her own disciples to death. She herself also passed away in an unknown secret room. The most important thing is that even the next leader could not find the body of Fairy Feihua. Fortunately, every leader was a disciple of Guanghan Palace, and the Lord of Guanghan Palace knew the operation trajectory of this formation. Otherwise, this headquarters would have to be abandoned. And... with the death of Fairy Feihua, the Hundred Flowers Alliance also lost its sect's treasure, the red spider lily."
"Red spider lily?" I frowned. "Is it a magic weapon?"
"Yes." Mao Buhui nodded. "Legend has it that the red spider lily was originally a seed. When the ancestors of a hundred families just established the Hundred Flowers Alliance, each of them dropped a drop of blood to condense the seed. Then, this seed was nurtured by the blood of successive leaders of the Hundred Flowers Alliance, and it took root and sprouted. However, the red spider lily is not an offensive magic weapon, but it condenses into a fruit every hundred years. Legend has it that eating this fruit can instantly stimulate a person's potential and increase his or her cultivation exponentially. But the price is... only two hours left to live."
What Mao Buhui said was the secret of the Hundred Flowers Alliance. Obviously, everyone present, including me, did not know it.
"Could it be that the reason these people rebelled was for this red spider lily?" Wang Zhenhong whispered, "After all, the effect of this fruit is too amazing. If I eat this fruit, I might be able to reach the level of the old master in an instant. Once a family or sect is in danger of extinction, this fruit might be the hope for the continuation of the family or sect!"
Hearing this, I shook my head and said, "Since Lao Mao said that the seeds of the red spider lily have already grown with me, then Fairy Feihua disappeared together. These people couldn't have come for this thing. Maybe... they just wanted the position of leader, or... they came for Guanghan Palace. After all, every generation of Guanghan Palace's descendants are as beautiful as flowers, eternally young, and have a very long life. Just based on this point, it is enough to make those families crazy! "
Just as several people were talking, they heard a "hum" sound, and then the space we were in suddenly moved.
And as the space moved, the long corridor in front of us suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a stone door.
"The formation has started to work again." Mao Buhui narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Once this formation is activated, unless the leader tells it to stop, it will continue to work until it loses power. But I think it is impossible to lose power, because its power is most likely the waterfall outside. Unless the waterfall dries up, the power of this formation is endless."
I nodded when I heard it.
The Nine Palaces and Eighty-one Grids are called formations, but in fact they are more like the Qimen Bagua. They do not need Qi to run, but need a constant source of power to push the space to move.
But the more this happened, the more difficult it became, because if I relied on Qi to operate, I had a mysterious array-breaking talisman, and I could enter and exit any array with ease, but in this situation, the array-breaking talisman had lost its original effect.
"I can only take it one step at a time." After I finished speaking, I walked to the stone door, fumbled around on it, and after seeing that no mechanism was triggered, I took a deep breath and pushed hard.
With a muffled "hum", the heavy stone door was slowly pushed open by me, but when the stone door was pushed open, I couldn't help but feel a jump in my heart when I saw the scene behind the stone door.
I saw that the scene behind the stone gate was extremely miserable. There were dozens of corpses lying on the ground in all directions. The blood on the ground gathered into a stream and slowly seeped down along the cracks.
"Most of these people are from the Five Poison Spirit Sect." Mao Buhui said in a low voice.
The people of the Five Poison Spirit Sect all wore black clothes, and there were specific tattoos on the left shoulder of the Five Poison Spirit Sect. The tattoos were snakes, spiders, and generally poisonous, so they were easy to distinguish.
These people should have died not long ago, and the blood had not even coagulated yet. Moreover, their deaths were different. Some were pierced with sharp weapons, some were disemboweled, and some were even sucked dry of their blood and turned into a dried corpse.
"Are there any alive?" I asked in a low voice.
Wang Zhenhong and Mu Yunxi shook their heads together. Seeing this, I took a deep breath and then walked slowly into the stone chamber.
There was another door at the other end of the stone chamber. Everyone walked quickly to the door and pushed it open.
I thought these people died here, so they were not far from the hall of the Hundred Flowers Alliance. But what I never expected was that when the stone door was opened, what appeared in front of everyone was an extremely dim, dilapidated stone chamber covered with cobwebs and dust.
"It seems that no one has been here for a long time." Wang Zhenhong frowned.
The stone chamber was not only shabby, but also had a faint stench. It felt as if something had rotted inside, but because it had been so long, the smell had almost dissipated.
Mao Buhui took a torch from the previous stone chamber and shone it into the shabby stone chamber.
As the torch illuminated the stone chamber, everyone immediately saw that in the corner of the stone chamber, there were a few rotten bones sitting cross-legged. Judging from the degree of decay, it seemed as if they had been here for hundreds of years.
