Yu Xiaolong's heart tightened. He had only seen this formation in books and had never experienced it personally. Did he not expect that it existed in the underworld?
Xie Tianyun noticed his expression and asked carefully: "Master, what have you thought of?"
Yu Xiaolong looked at him, blinked, and said lightly: "I suspect that the formation here is a mirror image, that is, a four-sided mirror image."
"Four Square Mirror?" Zhuang Jun looked at him in confusion and asked, "What kind of formation is this?"
"There is an explanation in "The Legend of Hanging Elephant" that the four-sided mirror is an unpredictable maze. Mainly using the settings of Qimen Dun, this place is turned into a mirror scene. You also know that the mirror image is the opposite.
Corresponding, but this square mirror image does have four opposite directions. That is to say, when you walk forward, you are actually walking backward, walking left, and walking right, which are mirror images in four directions." Yu Xiaolong frowned
Tight wrinkles.
"What?" Zhuang Junkai asked in surprise: "Could it be that...the unit light I fired was not forward? It could also be backward, left or right?"
"So, we think that we are going forward along the light, but in fact we are not necessarily looking in which direction unconsciously?" Xie Tianyun said.
"Moreover, it is very likely that we will change once we take one step! So there is a great possibility that we will always go in circles!" Yu Xiaolong frowned more and more.
"Ah?!" Zhuang Junkai was shocked and asked in disbelief: "This has never been like this before. It's not difficult to get out. I've never been trapped before."
"Why did we encounter so many different things this time? Master, it's not you who brought it, right?" Xie Tianyun smiled bitterly.
Yu Xiaolong remained silent, looking at the unfathomable darkness around him and thinking hard.
In fact, four-way mirroring is not difficult for Xiaolong.
He had read the explanation of the four-way mirror image in the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion in Maoshan, and the ancient books Sun Renyi gave him also had this explanation, and Yu Xiaolong had already mastered it.
But that's not what he's thinking about now. Ever since they killed the Wolf King in the black mist, they've encountered all kinds of unusual situations.
Zhuang Junkai has been here many times, only this time is unusual.
Therefore, what Yu Xiaolong is thinking about now is not the issue of moving forward, but how to solve the current situation.
At that time in the wilderness, Yu Xiaolong felt keenly that there seemed to be a tail in the distance. Although he was not sure whether it was a person, a ghost, or something else, he vaguely felt that there might be a connection between these abnormal situations and the other party.
Some connections.
However, the tail was hidden very deep. Yu Xiaolong tried to detect it many times, but could not find any trace.
But as soon as the Qi detection stopped, the other party vaguely appeared again.
Yu Xiaolong didn't know who the other party was and what their purpose was. If it was just to stop them from moving forward, what was the point? Could it be that capturing the strange beasts infringed on his interests?
Zhuang Junkai has been here many times and even formed his own industry in the underworld. And this is also open to the public and is not a secret to be afraid of others.
Why did the other party set up such obstacles to stop us?
If the other party is harming the three of them, then since it has the ability to change these things, why not directly let the three people face danger, or even show up to kill them.
But now it’s just adding more obstacles?
These messy things made Yu Xiaolong puzzled and couldn't figure it out no matter what.
"Master, what should we do now?" Xie Tianyun had no idea and could only count on him.
Zhuang Junkai did not dare to express his opinion casually at this time, and could only look at Yu Xiaolong for help.
The other party looked at them and didn't know what to say.
There is a tail behind, and there are many obstacles ahead. Yu Xiaolong is in trouble at this moment whether he should continue to move forward or solve the things behind him first.
If you ignore the tail and continue to move forward, there will definitely be obstacles ahead, and the forward speed will be difficult.
But one thing made Yu Xiaolong feel strange. The obstacles they encountered were not that difficult. They were all within Xiaolong's ability. They just took a little time and energy.
If you want to stop them, then why? Why didn't the other party set up something very difficult? Or just trap the three of them there.
From this point of view, the other party did not want to kill them.
If we deal with the tail now, we don’t know what the other party is.
But Yu Xiaolong knew very well that being able to control natural things at will in the underworld was definitely not the ability of ordinary people.
Can I defeat the opponent?
If you fail, what will happen to you?
Xie Tianyun and Zhuang Junkai looked at him quietly, knowing that Yu Xiaolong was thinking about something, so they did not disturb him.
After a long time, Yu Xiaolong waved his hands with a wry smile and said, "Let's go. Since we are all here, let's continue. I want to see what the alien beast is."
Xie Tianyun chuckled and said: "The master's curiosity is strong."
"Then let's go, we've already wasted too much time." Zhuang Junkai was about to lift his feet when he suddenly stopped and said with a wry smile: "But the formation is still in progress here."
Yu Xiaolong's eyes lit up, he scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I forgot."
After that, he closed his eyes and began to calculate, recalling the contents of the ancient books.
In Cui Bailong's Sutra Pavilion in Yun Province, Yu Xiaolong obtained an ancient book on the formation, which contained instructions for the four-sided mirror image.
He had read that book several times and memorized some of its contents, and the chapter about the four-dimensional mirror happened to be in it.
"Don't move here, wait for me to come back. No matter what happens, don't move." Yu Xiaolong glanced at them and disappeared.
Xie Tianyun and Zhuang Junkai stood there in a daze, not even reacting.
Seeing Yu Xiaolong disappearing, Zhuang Junkai blinked and asked, "What kind of person is the head of your family...?"
"He?" Xie Tianyun said with a smile: "You need to ask this yourself, hehe."
"By the way, Brother Zhuang, which sect are you from?" Xie Tianyun asked.
"I like freedom, I like to do whatever I want, and I don't like to be bound by some rules." Zhuang Junkai said with his hands on his hips.
"Should we consider Tianxin Sect?" Xie Tianyun raised his eyebrows.
"Goodbye, I have known your Tianxin sect before and heard some of them. They are all good people, especially Yu Xiaolong. However, I still won't go. It is my purpose not to join the sect. Thank you for your invitation. I'm sorry.
Yes." Zhuang Junkai refused directly, but he also praised Tianxin Sect for its high emotional intelligence.
"Uh...Okay." Xie Tianyun was stunned and could only nod.
Not long after, Yu Xiaolong suddenly appeared in front of the two people, frightening them.
"Okay, done! Brother Zhuang, you can continue to use your method and leave." Yu Xiaolong nodded.
"Ah? Okay? Did you solve that square mirror formation?" Zhuang Junkai said in surprise.
"That's not too difficult, haha~ let's go." Yu Xiaolong laughed.
Zhuang Junkai pinched his fingers again and recited the mantra, then he played out a Taoist talisman, and a weak light shone in front of him.
Yu Xiaolong said: "You can just stay on the road in front, and we will follow behind."
"Okay." Zhuang Junkai nodded.
Yu Xiaolong added: "I just spent a lot of energy. If I can't keep up with you, don't wait for me."
"Huh? I won't wait for you?" Zhuang Junkai looked at him.
"Yes, you go your own way and don't worry about me, understand?" Yu Xiaolong looked at them seriously.
Zhuang Junkai and Xie Tianyun looked at each other. Although they didn't know what they meant, they could only nod their heads when they looked into Yu Xiaolong's eyes.
Zhuang Junkai walked quickly in front, Xie Tianyun followed closely behind, and Yu Xiaolong walked at the back without taking a step.
As the light came out again and again, more than half an hour later, Zhuang Junkai stepped out, took a long breath, and said: "Finally out!"
Xie Tianyun also walked out from behind and said with a smile: "It's good to come out, it's too frustrating to be in there."
However, Yu Xiaolong's voice did not appear.
"Huh?" Zhuang Junkai asked doubtfully, "Where are the people?"
Xie Tianyun rolled his eyes and said, "Let's go first, he will follow soon."
Although Zhuang Junkai didn't know what he meant, he had no choice but to be pulled by Xie Tianyun.
There was still silence in the Lost Forest, the visibility had not changed at all, and the darkness without the breeze made it even more terrifying.
A figure moved quickly and silently among the dead trees, making no sound under his feet.
