After talking so much, the two of them had gone a long way without realizing it.【】
Although the mountain road is rugged and bumpy, for experts like them, it is still as smooth as walking on flat ground. They are about to reach the end of their original search. Gao Yang asked at this time: "By the way, Mr. Shen, the search team used to keep going Have you searched before?"
Shen Tao nodded: "After searching, the depth is at least half as deep as what we are walking now."
"so far away!"
Gao Yang frowned: "Do you think that tiger could come from such a far away place to Zhaozhuang to eat people?"
Shen Tao thought for a while and said: "To be honest, I have thought about this problem before and felt that no matter whether the tiger is a spiritual beast or an ordinary beast, if it is hidden deeper in the forest, there is actually no need to go to Zhaozhuang to eat people."
Gao Yang sighed: "This is strange. If this is the case, why did this tiger come here?"
Shen Tao shook his head helplessly: "That's unknown. I think this is what the Arbitration Bureau couldn't figure out, so they just gave up."
Gao Yang hummed and asked casually: "Where is the end of this mountain forest, and what is connected to it?"
"have no idea."
Gao Yang couldn't help but frown: "How could you not know? Has no one ever reached the end?"
Shen Tao nodded: "Yes, no one has ever reached the end of this mountain forest."
Gao Yang found it very strange: "This mountain is originally a mountain near Zhaozhuang. It did not appear after the integration of the cultivation world. Logically speaking, the villagers here should be very familiar with the terrain here. They live here all year round. They don't know How is it possible that no one knows what is at the end of the mountain after so many generations of reproduction?"
Shen Tao explained: "They don't know what is at the end of the mountain. It's not that no one has been there, but there is a misty ghost world deep in the mountain forest. That place is a forbidden area. No one can pass through that dense forest. Someone has Once you walk in, you can't get out, and some people go around and find that they are still wandering at the entrance, let alone passing through, so no one knows what is there at the end of the mountain."
I see!
Gao Yang was very interested in this misty ghost world: "How far is that place from here? Let's go and see."
Shen Tao couldn't help but frowned: "Gao Yang, that place is not far from here. It's only three or four miles away. But are you sure you want to go and have a look? The people in the Arbitration Bureau were helpless at that time. After entering He withdrew again and couldn't find any clues."
Gao Yang smiled: "Just because they can't find it doesn't mean we can't find it."
Shen Tao still hesitated: "But they came out after all. What if we get lost while walking inside?"
Gao Yang was full of confidence: "You don't have to worry about this. With me here, you can move forward and retreat freely even if it is really cloudy and foggy. Didn't you say that you already know me better from Zhao Gang's sources? I think you understand. There are not many, I was the one who broke the Agarwood Valley maze in the first place, so the small misty ghost forest here is naturally nothing to me."
Shen Tao's eyes immediately lit up: "Yes, I forgot that you are also a master of formations. If there are formations hidden in the misty ghost forest, we may indeed find clues there."
Gao Yang hummed: "Let's go."
Shen Tao immediately led the way and continued walking deeper. This mountain is a primitive mountain and has never been excavated by humans. The forests here are lush and green, and some are so tall that they can block out the sun.
The deeper you go, the less sunshine and chill you can feel.
He didn't know how long he had been walking, but Gao Yang had already seen that the pattern of the forest in front of him had completely changed. The misty white mist completely blocked the sight in front of him, and he couldn't see anything.
He pointed at the dense forest and asked, "Is that the Misty Ghost Forest?"
Shen Tao nodded: "Yes, there is the misty ghost forest. I have never been in it, but I heard from the villagers that there are terrifying existences there, because some people do not come out after going in, and they seem to be pulled by ghosts. Went to hell."
Places like these are places that ordinary people would not dare to mention.
But Gao Yang was standing in front of the woods at this moment, with no look of panic on his face. Instead, he looked calm: "I hope this place is really famous. By the way, Mr. Shen, do you feel any spiritual energy fluctuations here?"
"No!"
Shen Tao looked at the bamboo forest silently and said in a solemn voice: "When the Arbitration Bureau came here, it was said that it directly used a spiritual power detector, hoping to find traces of spiritual power here. However, in addition to normal air spiritual power, there is no trace of spiritual power here. There was no spiritual power fluctuation, so they concluded that someone did not set up a formation here."
Not a formation?
There was doubt in Gao Yang's eyes. He had experienced a lot in his previous life and could be said to have rich experience.
Especially in terms of formations, they have so many advantages compared to normal people.
Therefore, he can often spot problems that others cannot see at a glance, and he can also directly discover problems that ordinary people cannot sense.
Just like the misty ghost forest in front of him, the reason why Gao Yang asked was because he himself did not find any spiritual power here.
Normally, if it is a formation, it usually needs to be supported by spiritual power.
Therefore, Shen Tao's conclusion is not wrong. There is no spiritual power fluctuation here, which proves that this foggy ghost forest is a normal forest and no one is performing formations here.
But having said that, Gao Yang knew that the generation of natural fog requires certain conditions.
Moreover, fog is a kind of climate that is not affected by the air. It will stay together all year round except for special reasons.
Therefore, there is something strange about the fog here.
Gao Yang looked around and suddenly asked: "How long has this misty ghost forest existed?"
Shen Tao shook his head: "I don't know about this, but when I came here, there was already a legend of the Misty Ghost Forest. I once heard some villagers say that the Misty Ghost Forest seemed to have existed several generations ago. It should be compared with history. It’s grown.”
Gao Yang couldn't help but frowned: "If it existed several generations ago, then this place should have nothing to do with the tiger. After all, the tiger only came here a year ago."
Shen Tao agreed: "Yes, the Arbitration Bureau also asked about the situation of this misty ghost forest when they were investigating, and then they thought it had nothing to do with tigers. Besides, they couldn't figure out the forest, so they finally withdrew, right. Gao Yang, can you see the clues?"
Gao Yang smiled: "There must be some clues. To be honest, this misty ghost forest is indeed a formation."
Formation!
Shen Tao didn't know why Gao Yang was so sure, and immediately asked: "Gao Yang, do you have any evidence?"
Gao Yang said sternly: "Of course, if you also understand the formation, you can see that the direction of this misty ghost forest facing us is the Kun position of the earth, and the position we are in at the moment is the Li position of Bagua, Li is fire. , Water and fire are opposite, Kun generates water, and water generates fog. Although this formation does not have half a trace of spiritual power, it integrates the Bagua directions and transforms it with natural wood. Didn't you notice that the front row of trees here is very neat and uniform? Isn't this the biggest The flaw."
Shen Tao actually discovered this. In this barren mountain and old forest, there are overgrown trees everywhere.
The biggest feature here is irregularity.
Everything is irregular.
So the sudden appearance of these neat things is strange.
Shen Tao knew nothing about formations, but when he saw Gao Yang's words, he immediately said: "Gao Yang, since you can see the way of this misty ghost forest, can you break this formation and restore this place to its original appearance?"
Gao Yang said without hesitation: "It's too easy to break this formation, but I can't break it casually."
"Why?"
Gao Yang smiled bitterly: "Because this is someone else's sleeping place, and I'm afraid of disturbing it."
A place to sleep?
Shen Tao didn't seem to understand: "What do you mean?"
Gao Yang explained: "This is a cemetery with a tomb inside. According to my guess, the people buried in this tomb are probably not simple people."
Ahead is a vast white fog.
Except for the fog, nothing could be seen. Shen Tao really couldn't figure out how Gao Yang deduced that this was a cemetery, and also analyzed that the owner of this cemetery was not simple.
So he couldn't help but ask: "Gao Yang, how did you deduce it?"
Gao Yang smiled and said: "Of course it comes from the formation. People who don't know how to do this formation don't know what's going on. People who know how to do it will know that this is actually a high-level blind method. It uses the power of mountains and trees to create a mysterious place with the power of nature. The hidden tomb in the land, in the formation, is called the Hidden Mist Formation."
"Isn't it possible that there is something else hidden here? Does it have to be a formation?"
Gao Yang said firmly: "What the Hidden Mist Formation hides may not necessarily be a tomb, but this place is definitely a tomb. The terrain pattern here is a geomantic treasure. It is perfect to build a tomb here. And don't you think so?" Don’t you smell anything?”
Shen Tao was a little hesitant after being told by Gao Yang. After all, although what this guy said was clear and logical, he couldn't understand a few words. Moreover, he didn't understand the terrain pattern at all, so it was very confusing at the moment.
Now when Gao Yang talked about the smell, he felt even more confused. He sniffed it hard a few times and said doubtfully: "No, there is nothing else here except the smell of air and vegetation."
Gao Yang smiled mysteriously: "Yes, I'm talking about the smell of air and vegetation. One of the smells comes from a plant called ghost grass. This ghost grass grows in a very strange place, in the cemetery, so Since there is such a smell here, it proves that it is definitely a cemetery."
This makes sense. It fits perfectly and has no flaws.
Shen Tao admired Gao Yang very much, but after all, he had not seen it with his own eyes, so he could not completely believe it. Therefore, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Gao Yang, what should we do now, should we go in directly?" [ ]
