"Fellow Daoist Gu, I'm afraid I have to break my promise..." Lu Xuan smiled bitterly and said apologetically to Gu Qingxi.
Although this mountain range is not too big, the maze is somewhat similar to the secret realm. You can only enter by finding the entrance. The maze is not as vast as the secret realm, so the entrance is much smaller, usually only a few feet in diameter.
The last time they found the entrance to the maze, it could be said that it was sheer luck. If they were to look for it again today, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. They might never find it after a lifetime of searching.
Luo Haoran and others also looked frustrated. They originally wanted to try their luck with Gu Qingxi and Murong Yi, but now they can't even find the maze, let alone the valley, and they have no luck.
ah.
"Follow me." Before Lu Xuan could finish his words, Gu Qingxi led Murong Yi and Long Zaiye towards the bottom of the ridge.
Lu Xuan, Luo Haoran and others didn't think much and hurriedly followed.
Although they knew they were looking for a needle in a haystack, none of them would be willing to give up like this. Gu Qingxi probably thought so too.
Following Gu Qingxi, the group quickly entered the forest.
Ancient trees stand tall and straight, their dense branches and leaves covering the sky and the sun. The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming sparse beams of light.
Looking up, the surrounding scenery was almost exactly the same. Lu Xuan and others looked around, looking even more confused.
Gu Qingxi was determined. These scenery looked similar, but in fact there were some subtle differences. If his spiritual consciousness was strong enough, he could also remember these differences.
It just so happened that Xiao Mo was extremely talented. Although his cultivation was only golden elixir, he possessed spiritual consciousness comparable to that of Yuanying, and he also understood the secret technique of controlling gods passed down by the Kou family.
Following Xiao Mo's memory, Gu Qingxi walked quickly towards the depths of the mountain forest.
I don’t know how Xiao Mo found that maze last time? Did he rely on the innate magical power of the Kou family’s god-controlling technique, or was he just wandering around blindly.
Gu Qingxi felt that the latter was more likely, because his route was not straight forward, but sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, and sometimes backing up in a big circle. It felt like hide-and-seek.
But soon, Gu Qingxi denied her guess.
Although the maze has not been found yet, as we gradually go deeper into the forest, an ethereal and mysterious rhythm quietly emerges.
This rhythm is very subtle, almost integrated with the aura of heaven and earth and the vitality of vegetation everywhere in the forest. If Gu Qingxi had not possessed two golden elixirs and two souls, it would have been difficult to detect it.
Hidden formation, it turns out that there is another hidden formation besides the maze! Gu Qingxi finally realized it.
The so-called hidden formation is either used to hide the body shape or to hide the energy.
Because monks can recognize objects spiritually as long as they reach the golden elixir, the hidden formation that hides the body is of little use and can only be used to deceive ordinary people.
The Hidden Formation to conceal Qi is even more useful. It is simply the best way to kill someone while traveling at home and beat the sap behind their back... Okay, this is a joke.
It is extremely difficult to arrange a hidden formation to conceal the energy. Not only is it several times more complex than other formations, but it also has to take into account the surrounding environment, the changes in spiritual energy caused by the rising and setting of the sun and the moon, and even the weather.
To achieve this hidden formation effect.
Therefore, most of the hidden formations are formed by the heaven and earth. Even with Gu Qingxi's current formation skills, it is difficult to set up a decent hidden formation.
There is no doubt that Xiao Mo's route is not just wandering around, but is to pass through the hidden formation and find the confusing formation.
Understanding this, Gu Qingxi stopped complaining and walked meticulously along the route in his memory.
Of course, although Xiao Mo's spiritual consciousness is strong, his cultivation is limited after all, so his memory will inevitably be blurry. If it were someone else, even if Xiao Mo drew the route in his memory on paper, it would still be difficult to find the maze.
.
But for Gu Qingxi, this is not a problem. With her formation skills, even if Xiao Mo's memory is a little fuzzy, it will not be a problem to pass through this hidden formation.
Next, in the dense forest, a young girl was seen leading a group of monks to the left, right, and back in a big circle, spinning around like a headless fly.
Murong Yi didn't care. She had already seen Gu Qingxi's excellence. She had no doubts about Gu Qingxi's decision. Not to mention just walking around like a headless fly, even if she was rolling around with Gu Qingxi.
It doesn't matter.
Ever since Long Zaiye had seen Gu Qingxi's medical skills and array skills, he respected her like a god, and of course he had no objections.
Luo Haoran and others were different. Looking at Gu Qingxi who was backing up and starting to circle, they were all full of resentment: It's just a matter of luck. How can there be such mindless wandering?
Moreover, it lasts for several hours, and the movements are very fast. You don’t know how tired you are, but we are tired.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, what are you doing?" Luo Haoran finally couldn't help but ask.
"Looking for the maze." Gu Qingxi glanced at him inexplicably.
"I know you want to find the maze, but are you looking for it this way?" Luo Haoran said in a dumbfounded voice.
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Gu, even if you try your luck, you don't have to mess around like this." said a follower.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, why don't we search separately? You keep looking here, I'll look over there, Lu Xuan, you go..." Luo Haoran pointed in several directions and said to Gu Qingxi.
After following Gu Qingxi "blindly turning" for several hours, the tiredness was secondary. The key was that he was so dizzy that he could hardly tell the direction.
"Okay, I found it." Before he finished speaking, Gu Qingxi suddenly stopped.
"..." Luo Haoran was stunned, and then an inexplicable anger rose in his heart.
Found it? We searched for several months before we found the maze like a stroke of luck. How long have you been searching for? How many hours did you say you found it?
It counts if you search carefully, but you, from beginning to end, just wander around like a headless chicken, not to mention turning left and right, and even going in circles, and you actually say you found it.
?
If he hadn't remembered that he still owed Gu Qingxi a life-saving grace, Luo Haoran couldn't help but want to curse.
"It's right here. The formation map I left is still there." Just when Luo Haoran had nowhere to vent his resentment, Lu Xuan pointed to a place a few feet in front and shouted in surprise.
Looking in the direction of his finger, he saw a bunch of lines drawn on the dirt. They were the formation diagrams left by Lu Xuan when he refined the formation in advance just in case something went wrong.
Luo Haoran was completely stunned, and so were his friends.
It took them several months to find the entrance to the maze. Gu Qingxi spent several hours wandering around and finally found it.
This luck must be a bit too good... No wonder she has such strong sword skills. With such good luck, what sword skills can't be learned?
Let alone them, even Lu Xuan was in a daze.
Didn't he agree to bring Lu Qingxi here? Why does it feel like she should bring him here?
And how did she get through that hidden formation?
Unlike Luo Haoran and others, he did not think that Gu Qingxi found the maze by luck.
Although his formation skills are far inferior to Gu Qingxi's, and he has not noticed the unique ethereal rhythm of the hidden formation, but after searching for so long and finding nothing last time, he also vaguely guessed that there is a hidden formation hidden in this mountain range.
This hides the energy of the maze.
With his strength, there was nothing he could do in the face of this hidden formation. He could only try over and over again. He didn't know how many times he tried before he finally found the entrance to the maze like a blind cat stepping on a dead mouse.
It was obvious that Gu Qingxi was not wandering aimlessly just now, but had already discovered the hidden formation, and that strange route was just to pass through the hidden formation.
But it sounds simple, but Lu Xuan knows how difficult it is to pass through the hidden formation.
Although this kind of formation is usually small in scale, it is at least ten times more complicated than the great sect-protecting formation, the confinement formation, or the killing formation.
Pass.
If the formation is not strong enough, even if someone clearly draws the formation diagram, they may not be able to find the correct route.
Just like they did last time, when a blind cat stepped on a dead mouse and passed through the hidden formation, it was a good thing that only happened once in a thousand years. There was no comparison at all.
It turned out that in addition to her sword skills, her formation skills were also so powerful! Lu Xuan admired Gu Qingxi even more when he saw her face, which was so beautiful that she was not much older than him.
