Volume 3, Longyuan Ancient Land_Chapter 46, the true meaning of the nine-party pattern

"What's wrong? You don't want to go back yet? "The expression on my face is already telling Tang Yuyan that this is not a sightseeing tour, nor is it the so-called comfortable escape life in your mouth, this is an exploration that may experience life and death at any time. Of course, the biggest subtext is: you're just a drag bottle.

"Of course you don't want to go back, why do you want to go back? How can I go back to such a wonderful adventure down here! "She really wanted to go down with us. I wanted to speak, but I found that I really couldn't communicate with the girl in front of me, so I could only wave my hand and let the fat man talk to him.

"Sister, it's not that we don't take you, but you don't have any ability, if you go down and encounter danger, we have to save you, it may hurt everyone, so you should go back honestly." The fat man said this euphemistically and directly, Tang Yuyan seemed to listen carefully, and then gnawed off half of the steamed bun in his hand, and then said: "No, I still want to go down and have a look." ”

"No, or I'll hand you over to Zhongtianmen!" I was a little upset and shouted.

"How can you do that! Besides, it may be good to take me with you, for example, don't many of the things I see in my hallucinations help you? Maybe I'm also useful here? "There is some truth in what she said, after all, she is the reincarnation of the ancestor of Zhongtianmen, and there is something hidden in the illusion, which may really be useful to me. After hearing this, I frowned and didn't say a word, Tang Yuyan felt that there was a way, and continued: "I also said the blood of the three clans this time, and I also mentioned the three yin and four grievances, and I may give more hints in the future." Actually, you don't have to take too much care of me, I've been hunted down for so many years, and I haven't seen any battles, and my ability to escape at critical moments is no worse than any of you. Hehe, so take me with you, there are a lot of benefits! ”

I was hesitating, but Yuan Feng next to me approached and whispered: "Brother Shan, if you let Yu Yan go back alone, maybe she will secretly run back again, and then she may go down to the cave alone, in that case, the final result will not change." Besides, it's more dangerous for her to break into the hole alone than to be with us. ”

Yuan Feng was helping Tang Yuyan with this, but the meaning of his words was still right. I glanced at Tang Yuyan, it was entirely possible for her to do what Yuan Feng said. In desperation, I nodded and said, "You can go down with us, but you have to say it first, when we are too busy to take care of ourselves, you have to go back, there is no discussion at all." ”

"Of course! Haha, it's time to open your eyes again! She looked happy, wrapped in a blanket and fell asleep on the haystack. I looked at her figure with her back to me and asked strangely, "You seem to be obsessed with adventure, why?" ”

She yawned, waved her hand and said, "I don't know, whatever, I'm sleepy......"

I wanted to ask a few questions, but I didn't think that the girl would fall asleep within a few minutes after she had eaten and drunk. I could only flatten my mouth and continue to nibble on the steamed bun in my hand with an unhappy face.

This night, the sentry was set up by the hub, and the danger was not great, so everyone slept well. Only the fat man woke up the next morning complaining that the ground was too hard, and his back hurt when he slept. Guan senior unexpectedly meditated all night, I slept lightly, often wake up after some wind and grass, every time I wake up, I can see him exhaling and absorbing. Although I knew that a super master of this level would use meditation instead of sleeping, I was still taken aback. There are really people in the world who can not sleep!

I used a rope about 30 meters long, one end fixed to two large trees next to it, and the other end was thrown into the hole, and I was the first to take the lead to go down as a pathfinder.

Walking down the rope and the stone wall of the cave, it was dark but quiet below, and I had a string in my heart, after all, the big centipede that was more than two meters long came out of the cave, and if there was a nest below, then wouldn't I die myself?

After going down for about six or seven meters, I didn't feel like it was at the end, I took out a glow stick from my waist, and threw it to the west after a while, the green light went all the way down, and soon reached the bottom, under the light of the green light, I saw a relatively flat ground below, and at the same time I didn't find any traces of centipedes or other monsters, so I grabbed the rope with confidence and fell to the ground below.

After landing, I looked up and estimated the distance, which was about fifteen meters. Lifting the glow stick and flashlight that fell on the ground and shining it around, the entire underground space is not very large, and the distance between the surrounding walls is about the same as the range of the cave on the ground. I opened my mouth and shouted outside, "I'm down there, let's take a look." When it's safe, you come down again. ”

I walked around this small space, but I didn't find any paths, and the entire four walls seemed to be completely blocked. I frowned, did I guess the wrong place, but the land of the three yin and four grievances should be the place where the wild abyss was sealed. Maybe there's something I didn't find......

At this moment, the light source of the flashlight suddenly swept through a hole in the wall, I didn't see it at first, but I just glanced at the afterglow, and then quickly pointed the flashlight at the past, only then did I see clearly, there was indeed a hole about two meters high from me, the whole hole is not big, about half a meter high, to be precise, it is almost suitable for me to climb out of the hole.

When I got closer, I grabbed the protruding part of the mountain wall, bit the flashlight in my mouth, climbed up, and pointed at the cave to look inside, it was dark at first, but when the light of the flashlight illuminated the cave, I saw a few bone-like things. Seeing that it looked like it was not a human bone but an animal bone, I tried to reach inside, felt some slimy liquid, and pulled one of the bones out. If you look closely under the flashlight, you can see that the bones have obvious signs of gnawing.

"Gnawed?" My heart moved, I looked at the structure of the land again, and a thought popped into my head. He immediately returned to the ground and rushed to the top and shouted, "Pull me up!" ”

Hearing this, the fat man and Luo Qiong pulled me up together, and when they reached the ground, the fat man asked strangely, "What's the matter?" ”

"I found out that there was only a small hole half a meter high and not very deep underneath, and the rest of the place was blocked. I found some bones in it, you see. I handed the bone over, and the fat man took it and glanced at it, not understanding the meaning of my words, and asked strangely, "What do you say?" What do you mean? Are we in the wrong place? ”

"No, it's not that we're in the wrong place, it's that we've just touched the edge of the true Sealed Land, remember what we heard earlier? The blood of the three clans is followed by a sentence of the nine-square pattern, and in the book I saw at Mr. Xu's house, it is said that the nine-square pattern refers to the nine stone tablets that guard this place, so in fact, I was looking for the location of these nine stone tablets from the beginning, but I didn't find anything. Now I understand that the people of Zhongtianmen have followed the nine-square pattern, but they have not erected nine stone tablets. Because the stele is too conspicuous, if you use white marble and other stones that are not broken for hundreds of years to build nine steles, wouldn't that be tantamount to telling future generations that there is a seal buried here? So they went in a different way, a more convenient and safer way. They replaced the nine stone tablets with nine kinds of monsters, and the centipede we found and this land of three yin and four grievances are just one of them, in addition to this, there should be seven monsters and three yin and four grievances, and the center surrounded by this total of eight places is the ninth place in the nine-party pattern, which is the real place of sealing. So, it's not that we didn't find the seal, it's just that we're standing on the edge of the seal. I said my thoughts in a hurry, and the fat man was stunned, looked at the bones in his hand, came back to his senses, and said, "What do you mean...... This hole below us is where this big centipede is kept, and these bones are leftovers from its eating? ”

"Yes, that's pretty much it, and there should be seven other monsters besides this centipede, scattered not far from here." I spoke.

"Damn, and seven? So much! Wait, I don't get it. This centipede can't get out, which means it has to be carried underneath all the time, so how does it get something to eat? The fat man's question made me confused.
