Sikong Ju squatted humbly aside, holding his head in his hands, while two men in brocade were watching him non-stop.
"grown ups!"
I saw Yu Huatian and Mr. Na Luo walking together at the same time - not far away, the mother of the financial sponsor who saw the movement also came subconsciously.
A Jinyi came forward with a piece of 3A-sized paper - there were many marks on the paper.
"Sir, we have copied down all the marked cave entrances one by one. There are still forty-two unmarked cave entrances... Please take a look!"
Yuhuatian simply asked Jinyi to hold the mark directly for everyone to watch.
An inverted triangle is carved into the circle, and each inverted triangle has five different changes from blank to having four points - only one of them has an equilateral triangle pattern carved into the circle.
"Master Yu, there seems to be no method for analyzing this kind of mark in the manuscript." Mr. Luo said thoughtfully.
Yuhuatian said: "This should be Sikong Zhaiyue's unique mark... Let's listen to what this guy has to say."
Everyone looked at Sikong Ju at the same time... Feeling the huge pressure, Sikong Ju couldn't help but trembled again, and said in a trembling voice: "Garden, the circle represents the path traveled, and the inverted triangle means danger.
Adding a dot means the level of danger is... scarier."
Sikong Ju swallowed his saliva at this time, looked at the raised mark and said: "For example, this one with three dots is much more dangerous than the one with two dots..."
——What's going on? The old guy never said anything. There's also a fourth dot mark... Could it be that Jin Yi copied it wrong?
——Why is there only one... marked with four dots?
--Could it be that……
"Inverted triangles are dangerous, so right triangles are safe?" Ding Xiu asked in a deep voice on behalf of Yuhuatian.
Sikong Ju shrank his neck and said subconsciously: "Damn my hometown...I, what I said is right."
"Tsk, is this Sikong Zhaiyue the Rat Tuoshi?" Wen Duo was surprised at this moment. Although there are more than forty unmarked cave entrances, there are also dozens of marked cave entrances... This matter has only been happening for decades.
I can’t even get enough experience in drilling holes.
Sikong Ju couldn't help but respond at this time. He always felt that no matter how he responded, it would be like saying that he was the son of a mouse... He dared not speak out in anger and simply lowered his head.
"Sir, would you like to photograph a few people to explore this safe entrance?" Ding Xiu asked at this time.
Yuhuatian snorted lightly.
Ding Xiu waved his hand at this moment, and soon the Jinyi soldiers escorted out a group of men with sluggish expressions and wearing suppressor shackles - these were the killers who assassinated Yu Huatian on the road. Not one of them was left out, and all of them were killed.
Caught alive.
"Enter two." Ding Xiu said calmly: "You heard it, this may be a safe entrance. Whoever wants to go, please take the initiative."
The sad killers were silent at this time.
Ding Xiu sneered and said: "If the person who goes in first comes back safely, he can be at the end of the line for the next exploration. I put my words here and keep my word."
In an instant, a figure directly knocked away the people around him. At the same time, holding up the shackles, he rushed madly towards the entrance marked by the right triangle... It was the Kowloon Island killer named Zhu Chuntai.
"There's one more!" Ding Xiu shouted in a deep voice.
After more than a dozen killers pushed each other, another one successfully stood out and kept up with Zhu Chuntai's pace. The two hesitated for a moment at the entrance, then gritted their teeth and dug in.
The remaining killers looked ashen-faced and were guarded again.
It seems like all that's left to do is wait...and wait.
A scream suddenly came out, and soon the killer Zhu Chundai of Kowloon Island was seen rolling out of the hole in panic, and said angrily: "You want to kill me!! There is a dead end in here... [Soul-Deceiving Demon]! Inside
There is a [Dementor]!"
The other killer didn't come out, so it was obvious that he couldn't come out.
"Isn't it safe?" Ding Xiu frowned and locked eyes with Sikong Ju.
"Death, a dead end?" Sikong Ju suddenly trembled and looked somewhere as if instinctively, but suddenly stopped looking.
But this scene was caught by Wen Duo.
"What are you looking at?" Ding Xiu stepped forward and twisted Sikong Ju's arm, "Are you dishonest? Do you know something?"
"I...I really don't know...ah!!!"
Ding Xiu was not used to it, and he twisted and dislocated Sikong Ju's arm. The pain made Sikong Ju break into a cold sweat, "Fat pig, have you ever played the finger-wrecking game? How many joints do you think your fingers have in total?"
With that said, Ding Xiu crushed Sikong Ju's left index finger again.
"Death is just a matter of one knife." Ding Dingxiu said with a sinister smile: "But keeping people alive is a technical job, but you can completely trust my skills. Tell me! What were you looking at just now!"
"I said it, I said it..." Sikong Ju wailed a few times and said in horror: "The inverted triangle with four points... The old ghost never told me that there are four points! He said that before
, the three dots represent the most dangerous ones!”
"Why didn't you tell me just now?" Ding Xiu grabbed Sikong Ju's fingers again and broke one directly.
Sikong Ju was almost suffocated in pain. He gasped and said in pain: "I...I'm not sure...I'm not sure...I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
When Ding Xiu saw this, he kicked Sikong Ju away with a look of disgust.
"Entrance at four points, two more people can go in!"
…
Ding Xiu did keep his promise and allowed Zhu Chuntai to be exempted this time.
But after a failed exploration, this time there was no rush for candidates... In the end, two people were randomly selected, and Jin Yi escorted them directly to the entrance and pushed them in.
Waiting again.
"Master Luo, what did you discover?"
The sponsor's mother seemed to be very concerned about this doctor who could create the heaven-defying potion [Tears of God]... I saw Deng Chanyu avoiding Wen Duo and walking from the other side - and Yu Huatian.
Mr. Luo, however, looked at the entrance where the [Soul-Deducer] existed and muttered: "I'm just curious about the purpose of the mark carved by Sikong Zhaiyue."
"Intention?" Deng Chanyu said subconsciously: "Isn't it easy to understand? This person deliberately marked the dangerous passage as safe, just to trap and kill those who came later."
"In this case, he doesn't need to mark it at all." Mr. Luo shook his head and said.
Deng Chanyu was startled, and then frowned: "That's true. If there is no mark at all, the effect will be better... There is no need to do this. Is there any purpose in this? Master Yu, what do you think?"
Yuhuatian pondered: "Perhaps, these marks are meant to be left to someone."
"You mean...Sikong Ju?" Deng Chanyu hesitated: "Why?"
Yu Huatian thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's to train him. After all, this mark is Sikong Zhaiyue's unique mark. Apart from Sikong Ju, I'm afraid no one else in the world knows about it. If it's Sikong Zhaiyue,
There is no need for him to leave any marks for himself. Obviously, the only one who can show these marks is Sikong Ju."
Deng Chanyu nodded, but then asked doubtfully: "In that case, why should we use correct signs to mark the wrong road... What if Sikong Ju went this way without even thinking about it?"
Yu Huatian said calmly: "Isn't there a four-point mark here? If he is careful enough, he will naturally find the four-point mark and gain insight into his father's arrangement."
Deng Chanyu shook her head: "Your hypothesis is too complicated and unnecessary... Do you think Sikong Ju is the kind of person with a delicate mind? I'm afraid that when he sees the correct mark, he won't think much at all and won't bother to search.
For other entrance signs, just walk in and you'll end up dead."
Yuhuatian was silent.
Didn't he never think about this possibility? As Deng Chanyu said, this arrangement seemed to be specially prepared to deceive Sikong Ju?
"Sir, they are back!"
At this time, the two assassins ran out in a panic, gasping for breath: "This is a straight road with no forks. Go all the way to the end, and there is a stone door! We didn't dare to open it!"
"
Deng Chanyu and Yuhuatian looked at each other, their eyes brightening slightly.
Because, in the handwritten note left by Sikong Zhaiyue, it was indeed mentioned that on the right road, there would be a stone door, which required a special technique to open - the handbook had detailed records of how to open the door.
Yu Huatian said directly: "Let the [Death-killing Scholar] take action and open the stone door according to the method recorded in the handbook."
"yes!"
Then I saw the [Deathly Scholar] took a box of things and quickly walked into the passage under the escort of several people in brocade clothes.
"Master Yu, is it difficult to deal with the [Soul-Deceiving Demon]?" Mr. Luo asked abruptly.
"[The Soul-Destroying Demon] mainly has weird attack methods and specializes in divine souls." Yu Huatian muttered: "It is not difficult to deal with, but it is difficult to deal with. Once there are too many, it will be a big trouble... Why, Mr. Luo still has doubts
?”
Mr. Luo thought for a while and said, "I think Mr. Yu must have some concerns in his heart."
Yu Huatian frowned and said coldly: "Master Luo, are you interested in going in with the Sa family to have a look? There are only a few [Soul-destroying Demons] who can't hide from the Sa family's sword."
"[Xia Ji], you and Wen Duo should stay here." Mr. Luo smiled and said, "Master Yu, why don't we take Sikong Ju with us?"
"The Sa family has this intention." Yuhuatian smiled calmly.
——What are these two guys going to do?
Deng Chanyu stared at the two of them with a strange expression - only to find that Wen Duo was also staring at her at this time. She couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat, and turned away from the alliance in panic.
——This ** man must have some evil idea when he stares at my young master!
——I have to keep an eye on it!
…
[The Deadly Old Scholar] began to destroy the stone gate mechanism on another passage. On the other side, Yu Huatian, Mr. Luo, and carrying Sikong Ju, walked towards the passage where the [Soul Dementor] existed.
The sponsor’s mother joined in the fun and brought two family members.
The path of the passage was not very winding, and was even spacious... After a while, the group saw a corpse lying on the ground. The corpse had a look of horror on its face, and it opened its mouth before it died... It was Zhu Chuntai and the others.
The killer who has never returned from his quest.
"It is indeed the [Soul Captor]!" A general of the sponsor's mother frowned at this moment: "The method of devouring the soul of this thing is exactly the same as the wandering soul of the [Ninth Prison]!"
"Be careful what you say!" Deng Chanyu shouted abruptly.
At this moment, a thin black mist slowly emerged from the ground, accompanied by waves of murmurs... In the silence, these murmurs made people's scalp tingle.
.
Yu Huatian flicked the sword in an instant, and the blade was slightly unsheathed.
Then he saw a dry, pale figure in the black mist, holding a lamp, slowly floating towards him... [The Soul Seducer] can capture souls, but cannot stare at it for a long time.
The moment the [Soul-Destroying Demon] appeared, Sikong Ju was seen paralyzed on the ground, his fat body trembling, and he was so frightened that he could not control himself.
Yu Huatian frowned and waved an invisible force from the air, "Dirty."
The invisible force instantly knocked Sikong Ju flying, directly hitting the [Soul-Deader] in the black mist!
Sikong Ju's mind went blank for a moment.
At the same time, the long sword in Yu Huatian's hand came out of its sheath with a clang, and a flash of light flashed... But at this moment, a palm pressed coldly on the handle of Yu Huatian's sword.
Yu Huatian frowned, this turned out to be Mr. Luo's palm... He quietly pushed his sword back into the scabbard.
"Master Luo, he is really going to die." Yu Huatian said thoughtfully.
Kicking out Sikong Ju was obviously just to attract the attention of the [Soul-Destroying Demon], and to kill him unexpectedly... Sikong Ju was still useful, and Yu Huatian didn't want to kill him right now.
"I don't think so." Mr. Luo shook his head.
Yu Huatian's eyes narrowed, "Huh?"
"Since the [Soul-Deceiving Demon] didn't attack him!" Deng Chanyu had whispered at this moment, showing an incredulous look!
At this time, Sikong Ju fell directly at the feet of the [Soul-Destructor]... Sikong Ju was so frightened that he held his head, curled up, and begged for mercy with a cry.
However, the [Soul Captor] just stopped next to Sikong Ju at this time, with two faint eyes exposed in the pale robe, seeming to be sizing up...
After a while, [The Soul-Destroying Demon] actually floated directly past Sikong Ju's body, and continued to move towards Yuhuatian and his party... I saw the lantern in the [Soul-Destroying Demon's] hand suddenly emitting a green light like a will-o'-the-wisp.
Light.
The long sword in Yuhuatian's hand was unsheathed again... and returned to its sheath.
After the lightning of the sword flashed as fast as a thunder, the lantern in the hand of the [Soul-Destroying Demon] instantly cracked... the [Soul-Destroying Demon] also cracked from it, and a stream of black energy floated out from the robe and disappeared.
"Master Yu is so good with swordsmanship!" The general next to the patron's mother exclaimed in surprise.
Yu Huatian didn't take it seriously, but looked directly at Mr. Luo and said, "Why didn't the [Soul-destroying Demon] attack Sikong Ju?"
Mr. Luo said: "Perhaps this was originally the road for Sikong Ju? Sikong Zhaiyue would be very familiar with his son's character, and would even know that if Sikong Ju came here, he would take the correctly marked road without thinking.
"
"That's right." Yu Huatian nodded: "He doesn't want to trick his own son. [The Soul Destroyer] was never prepared for Sikong Ju... but it was also prepared for him! Sikong Zhaiyue wants to trick the Sa family.
!”
"Didn't you say that Sikong Zhaiyue is dead?" Deng Chanyu frowned: "How did he know?"
"Then there is only one possibility. That old ghost is not dead yet!" As he said that, Yuhuatian glanced around and said in a deep voice: "He is here."
"Miss, there is also a stone door here!"
At this moment, another family member of the financial sponsor's mother said in a hurry.
"No." Yu Huatian frowned, "Stop opening another door!"
As he said that, he had already shot out.
…
Rumble!
[The Deadly Scholar] chuckled softly at this time, and pressed both hands on the stone door at the same time - following the final steps, use three points of force with the left hand and seven points with the right hand to push out at the same time.
"opened!"
The people in brocade clothes behind them showed expressions of surprise.
"stop!"
A loud shout came from behind, and it was Yu Huatian's voice.
"Sir, I will open it right away..." [The Deadly Old Scholar] responded at this time, and a gap was revealed in the stone door.
In an instant, a black light shot out from the gap and was directly nailed into the chest of [The Deadly Old Scholar] - he screamed, the black light turned out to be... the terrifying insect type hidden around the pit.
Alien species, weird nail bug!
ah--!!!
[The Deadly Old Scholar] fell to the ground in pain.
At this time, Yu Huatian had arrived, waved his hand and grabbed the stone door, which was slightly opened, and closed it again. At the same time, Yu Huatian's eyes flashed with blood, and the nail bug on the chest of [The Deadly Old Scholar]
It exploded instantly.
"Sir...Sir..." [The Deadly Old Scholar] was pale at this time. The moment the nail bug entered his body, he suffered a heart-wrenching pain. The pain was still there, "Thank you, sir, for saving my life..."
But he finally saved his life.
"This road is blocked." Yuhuatian said in a deep voice at this time: "It's blocked!"
…
…
…
…
"Old man, why haven't you arrived yet?"
Duobao patted the little old man on the shoulder in confusion.
"It's almost, it's almost..." the little old man said with an apologetic smile.
