Miao Haocang glanced at those Qiangliang again. Qiangliang's eyes were dull, like a statue.
It seems that he really shouldn't be affected by the talk between the two of them.
He was more worried about whether he would be attacked from behind while walking.
The steps were actually not very high, and the three of them reached the top quickly.
At the top, the sun was just right, and they were standing in front of a huge altar.
The entire altar is off-white and looks like it was cut directly from a single piece.
The corners are a little damaged, probably because of time, but some of the cracks on it seem to form a pattern.
Long You lowered his head and looked for a long time, then looked at the empty altar. There seemed to be nothing on the altar.
Ye Wu has already stepped on the altar with one foot.
Long You then stared at him.
Ye Wu turned to look at him and silently retracted his feet.
"No, why don't we go up?" he asked.
"Come on, you go first," Long You said.
Ye Wu: "..."
"I think you have to be polite, so you go first." Ye Wu took a half step back and said.
Long You shook his head and said humbly: "No, no, no, I think you should come first."
Miao Haocang glanced at the two of them and stepped forward first.
The top of the altar is hollow, allowing sunlight to come in. The empty stone walls on both sides are very smooth and normal.
Long You and Ye Wu suddenly stared at Miao Haocang, wanting to see if he would react.
Miao Haocang walked all the way to the center of the altar, but there was still no movement.
It's like this place is just an altar.
"Maybe it's a place where the tribes living here offer sacrifices to heaven?" Long You said, and he also walked over.
"I'm afraid the Qiang Liang below is their guardian, but..."
Long You turned around and looked.
The three of them looked back together. From their angle, they could just see the canyon spreading down from the steps. Beyond the canyon was the desert.
There are even black snakes guarding the three of them in the desert.
But as long as the angle is slightly shifted, it will no longer be visible.
"This design..." Long You looked thoughtful, but he always felt that something was missing, making him unable to figure out where this place was.
"Should there be something here?" Ye Wu looked at the center of the altar, where there was a golden ring pattern underneath.
Long You turned around and stared there for a while, then suddenly his mind moved, he strode forward, squatted down, and pressed on the center of the ring.
Click——
With a slight sound, the ring first dropped a finger deep, and then the center began to slowly open, revealing a circular hole.
In the circular hole, a stone pillar held a golden disk and slowly rose up to half a person's height before stopping.
The next moment, golden lines began to light up on the entire altar, and the lines were layered on top of each other to form a golden blooming lotus.
And they are standing in the center of the lotus.
The golden light of the lotus is reflected on the surrounding smooth walls. The light is projected from one side of the wall to the other and then refracted back.
Repeating the cycle, a golden lotus was woven around them.
The center of the central disk also made a slight sound, and like a small and delicate door, it opened to both sides, revealing one of the golden lotuses.
The nasturtium bloomed, and soft smoke-like lines flowed out from the center of the flower. There were eight lines in total, hanging from the nasturtium petals and falling on eight parts of the disk.
Each of those eight parts has a small Bagua-shaped hole.
The golden thread penetrated into it and ignited the entire disk. Circles of patterns engraved with runes began to light up on it. From the outside to the inside, there were thirty-six in the first circle, twenty-seven in the second, and twenty-seven in the third.
Eighteen, nine in the fourth circle.
When all these light up layer by layer, the two small square doors on both sides of the golden lotus in the middle spread out to the surroundings, turning into eight pieces, and then quickly broke away from the disk, floated around the golden lotus, and stood up to form a ring.
The golden lotus in the center then closed and everything returned to peace.
Ye Wu stared blankly at the changes, a little amazed.
"Sure enough." Long You also felt a little emotional, but finally knew what this place was for.
"Hey, what do you know?" Ye Wu looked at him.
"This is the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation." Long You said.
"The bronze door in the canyon we are in now is one of the doors. There are probably seven other doors in this desert. They may not necessarily have the same structure as here, but there must be this altar."
"Do you see this disk? This is the lock. As long as you can crack this lock, you can open the real door here and leave this formation."
After a pause, he added: "That's not necessarily true. Only one of the eight doors is the door of life. All locks can open the door of life, but they can also open the door of death. As long as you can find a way to break the door of life, you can leave."
Ye Wu suddenly understood, and then said: "Then if we happen to die..."
"Shut up!" Miao Haocang interrupted him angrily.
According to the level of mental retardation of the two of them, Ye Wu's words must be followed by Long You's assurance that everything will be fine.
Then something will definitely happen to them.
Although Miao Haocang is not a person who believes in fate, he really does not want to indulge in any possibility towards these two people.
Ye Wu touched his nose nonchalantly.
He said it was a possibility.
What if it’s the door of death?
"No, I can crack it. Don't worry, who am I? I'm the best at this kind of thing. I can't fight, I can use my brain!" Long You patted his chest and said.
Miao Haocang: "..."
It's over, I didn't stop it.
He began to seriously think about whether he was more likely to survive by fighting directly or following them.
No matter how he thinks about it, he feels that he can survive better!
Miao Haocang took half a step back expressionlessly, only to find that he was blocked by Jin Lian.
oh.
indifference.jpg.
Long You has grabbed the ring around the golden lotus and turned it gently.
Several of the runes below suddenly glowed brightly.
Ye Wu saw Long You's focused face and stood aside silently, not disturbing him.
He didn't know these things clearly, so he could only rely on Long You.
But his eyes were always observing the disk.
As the ring rotates, the runes below seem to light up partially, and then turn into a dull luster again. The next time, it's the same again.
Ye Wu looked at it carefully, but he couldn't tell what principle it relied on to identify the runes.
There are also small golden lines on the ring. Those lines rise and fall, seeming to correspond to the charm below. Is that the induction?
Ye Wu stared thoughtfully.
Long You's expression was serious, his brows slightly furrowed, and he was careful every time he made a move. Sometimes, the two moves seemed to be just a little bit different.
But the range in which the lower talisman lights up is completely different.
Time after time, sweat began to appear on Long You's forehead, slowly falling down and flowing into his eyes. He did not dare to blink.
