Chapter 181: The Shock at the Bottom of the Pit
The more we got to the bottom, the slower the speed of our sliding rope, and the rope of more than ten zhang hung down, and it took us half an hour to come to the end. At this moment, when I looked up, I found that the entrance to the sinkhole was already too small to be seen. The dark air below filled every corner, especially on the steep and slippery stone wall, deep cracks continued to appear, and in the cracks, from time to time, a trace of cold and biting cold air floated out, blowing on the body, goosebumps fell layer after layer.
Master stopped at the end of the rope, and found a narrow crack, and supported it with his feet, and I looked down, about to the bottom of the pit, and it was still three or four feet away. The rope on the opposite side seems to go straight to the bottom of the pit, but Gu Tan's master and apprentice have long disappeared. Have they all entered the Demon Sealing Cave? It won't be so fast, will it?! Thinking of this, I hurriedly came to Master's side, grabbed the rope and touched it down, and then said, "Master, I'll send us down with the Divine Refining Whip!" ”
"Hmm."
Master nodded, then took out the Tiangang sword, swung the sword to split a small crack in the stone wall, and embedded the rope head in it, so, the rope head was fixed, I took out the refining whip, my arm shook, only to see the tail of the refining whip firmly wrapped around the rope head, so, I and the master along the refining whip down more than zhang, there are still more than two zhang of height left, seeing this, the master casually said: "Let's go down!" ”
After that, the master casually let go of the refining whip, and flew down lightly, it stands to reason that more than two zhang is not high, but that is for the master, I don't know the gravity oppression generated by the height of more than two zhang. After thinking about it, I decided to give it a try anyway, because I can't help it if I don't try it now. Then, with a little force, I flicked the Divine Refining Whip down and flew down......
Just when the gravity of the fall continued to intensify, I instantly saw a sharp rock at the bottom of the pit was hitting my buttocks, at this moment, I hurriedly waved my hand to hit the refining whip, a crisp sound of "pop" came out, the refining whip fell heavily on the rock, with a countershock force, the gravity on my body instantly unloaded a lot, and then kicked in the air with my toes, and landed firmly on the ground at the bottom of the pit.
Put away the refining whip, wrap it around his waist, and then see the master not far away. Master was staring at something at the moment, I walked quickly to Master's side, followed Master's line of sight, and was immediately attracted by a huge sealing array in front of me. This sealing array, if it is an ordinary person, it may not be able to see anything, but under the gaze of the eye of the sky, the circle of secret maps is all flashing with colorful light, which is very dazzling!
This can no longer be described by two words as spectacular, but can only be described as shocking, unparalleled shock. The sealing array in front of him seemed to concentrate the essence of the secret techniques of the Daomen, Taiji, Liangyi, Sixiang, Wuxing, Bagua, Nine Palaces, Ten Heavenly Stems, Twelve Earthly Branches, Thirty-six Tiangang, and Seventy-two Earthly Demons, almost all of which were condensed on a beautiful seal secret map.
And it's a perfect fusion, with brilliant lights and dense runes, like elves flowing non-stop, round and round, round and round, and constantly flowing back and forth. The entire seal map, about five or six zhang wide, was circular, covering the entrance of a passage below. Around the entrance of the passage, there are strangely shaped stones, and the stones are also in a variety of colors.
After a careful count, there are about twelve colors, and there are shades of the same color, such as red, there are dark red and light red, and the same is true for other colors, except for black. I'm afraid this is the beauty of the seal secret map, of course, I can't see the reason, but the master quietly stared at this seal secret map for a long time, and didn't say a word.
I couldn't see a reason, so I simply didn't look at it, I turned around, and found that the area at the bottom of the pit below was at least three or four times larger than the diameter of the sinkhole outside, and the surrounding stone walls were steep and slippery, as if they had not seen the sun all year round, and had become so damp. It's just that there is no stagnant water on the ground, and when you walk on it, you can naturally feel a trace of coolness and drill up along the trouser tube.
After walking around, when I returned to the same place, I couldn't help but say in confusion: "Master, it stands to reason that Gu Tan and they didn't have long before us, why didn't they come to the bottom of the pit and haven't seen them yet?" ”
"They must have entered along the passage, and under the sealing secret map, it must be the first secret vault, which is the place where the sealed demon cave is guarded. If you enter it early, you will be able to get the third Heavenly Book Oracle one step earlier, they are seizing the opportunity with us! ”
The master frowned, and then said: "Let's go down too, presumably when we get below, we can see them, there are no traps here, but starting from the first secret vault, the pace of travel is not so fast." With that, Master walked slowly to the entrance of the passage, and the probe glanced inside, and I followed to the entrance, but when I probed in, I didn't see anything, and my vision was completely obscured by the secret map of the seal in front of me.
"Master, there is a secret seal map here to cover it, can we get in?"
I asked, puzzled.
"Naturally, it's okay, this seal secret map is the last barrier used to imprison demons and monsters, and there is no obstacle to human beings, but the four secret vaults below are the real ones to be careful."
As the master spoke, he jumped in and disappeared under the seal in the blink of an eye. I hesitated, wondering what the depth was below, what if I jumped very deep? But Master had jumped in, and I didn't need to grind any more, and after a short hesitation, I waved my hand and unleashed the Refining Whip, wrapping around the rock at the edge of the entrance, and then jumped down. It was only through the secret map of the seal that I saw everything below.
I saw that there was only a little more than a foot of height below, and when I saw this, I instantly let go of the refining whip and jumped down. What catches the eye is an arc-shaped passage entrance, and when you look around, it seems to be the entrance of this passage. He immediately said, "Master, if you enter this passage, it should be the first secret vault, right?" ”
"Yes, it's our first time here, so we need to be careful!"
Master frowned, drew the Tiangang Sword with great caution, and walked in front of me.
For some reason, as soon as I entered the passage, I suddenly felt a trace of heat rushing to my face, and the cold air behind me was easily blown away. Following the footsteps of the master, we followed this circular passage, all the way down, and after a while, I saw a touch of withered yellow light in the corner ahead, flashing and flashing, I looked carefully, and hurriedly said, "Master, look, there seems to be a fire ahead!" ”
"Well, presumably Master Gu Tan and apprentice are in front, let's go over quickly!"
As the master spoke, he dodged and swept away, and when we turned a corner, we saw Gu Tan and Shangguan Jin, standing not far away, both of them did not make any movements, as if they were looking at something blankly. The footsteps gradually approached, Gu Tan instantly turned his head to look, and when he saw us, his face gradually became a little unsightly. The master smiled and said, "You masters and apprentices came quite early, but why don't you continue to go?" ”
I didn't have much interest in Gu Tan's master and apprentice, so I glanced around, and saw that the fire I had just seen was burned by the brazier hanging from the stone wall around me. In front of me, it looks like a circular cave. As for the "likeness", it is because in the middle of this cave, there is a large stone pillar held by ten people, and the stone pillar is straight up and down, as if it has been carved, warm and moist like jade, and upright and atmospheric.
And on the ground around the stone pillar, there are a piece of long stone bricks, flowing in a circle, not only that, the stone bricks have a variety of colors, after looking at it for a while, I found that this circle of long stone bricks, can be divided into five colors, inside and outside three layers, each following a way to flow and circling, but not far from the huge stone pillar in the middle, very weird!
At this moment, Gu Tan's master and apprentice, as well as the master, were all staring at the strange mechanism formation in front of them, and no one spoke anymore, as if they were all thinking about how to solve this problem.
After a long time, Gu Tan actually opened his mouth, turned his head to the master and said, "Yang Yuanshan, you also know that there are four secret vaults, not to mention that there is no fairness at all, how about we join forces to crack this first secret vault?" Of course, in the back of the three secret vaults, we will also join forces until we each enter the interior of the Sealed Demon Cave, as for who can finally get the third Heavenly Book Oracle, it depends on our respective abilities. Is that fair? ”
"If you can't solve the problem, you want to cooperate with us, Master, we don't cooperate with them!"
I glanced at Gu Tan angrily, this guy has always been like this, when he needs our help, he is kind to cooperate and join forces, and after using me, he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone. Thinking of this, I immediately said: "Master, we have already suffered a lot of losses, and they can't crack this secret vault anyway, so it's better for us to crack it ourselves, and then we will go down to the second secret vault first, so that they can't rob us!" ”
"You!"
Gu Tan suddenly pointed at me angrily, but after looking at the master beside me, he immediately softened his tone again, and sighed: "Tell me about you, no matter how you say that I am also your uncle, my uncle is an elder, is there a junior like you who says such things to my uncle?" Who do you think of Uncle Shi? The previous things and the things that our two struggles can be put aside first, and opening the first secret vault together is the most important thing in front of us, otherwise none of us will be able to enter, let alone compete for the oracle, and then there will be nothing! ”
