The Heavens: Starting from Smiling Proudly, All People Cultivate Immortals

Chapter 195

The fog rose without warning and immediately covered the entire pier.

Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and Ba Fenghan were clearly standing side by side, but they couldn't see anyone around them when they looked around.

Kou Zhong remembered that Xu Ziling was on his right, and immediately reached out to grab the position in his memory, but only caught a white mist.

"Master Ling!"

"Brother Ba?"

Kou Zhong turned around a few times, searching and shouting again and again, hoping to get some response.

But Kou Zhong seemed to be the only one left in the whole pier.

In the white mist, Kou Zhong couldn't even tell where he was.

"Sure enough, it's not a blindfold!"

Kou Zhong looked down at his feet, according to the route and distance he walked, he should be standing at the starting point at this moment.

It is also the location where Kou Zhong stepped onto the pier and the white mist rose.

Kou Zhong still remembered the characteristics of the pier under his feet at that time.

The pier on the island in the middle of the lake is made of bamboo, and Kou Zhong landed on a support of the pier.

Under Kou Zhong's feet, there are bamboo poles that go deep into the water, supporting the bamboo bridge on the water.

But at this moment, under Kou Zhong's feet, the joint connecting the bamboo pole and the bamboo bridge has disappeared.

Kou Zhong clearly remembered his steps and distance without any surprises.

According to common sense, Kou Zhong should be standing in the original position at this time.

Since the reality is that the position has changed, it means that this illusion array is not as simple as imagined.

It is by no means a mere maze.

At least it's not purely visual deception.

Kou Zhong calmed down, this phantom array was arranged by Li Buyan, so compared with others, he still has an advantage.

At least he won't be helpless against breaking the formation.

Kou Zhong recalled what he had learned, the inheritance of the star map from Li Buyan saved Kou Zhong a lot of detours and broadened his horizons.

Coupled with his understanding of the Sutra of the Birth and Death of the Five Elements, Kou Zhong's sensitivity to the aura of the Five Elements is also better than ordinary people.

In this formation, the easiest thing to sense is the water phase aura.

The vast white mist in front of him was formed by the water spirit technique.

But Kou Zhong understands that the white mist is not as simple as reducing visibility.

It's just that the information collected at the moment is still too little, and it is difficult for Kou Zhong to analyze and judge.

If you want to break the formation, it is obviously not enough to just stand in place and brainstorm.

Only by breaking into the formation, unless there are more changes in the formation, will there be a chance to see through the formation.

"Although the proprietress of the hotel said it's useless, it's better to try it yourself."

Kou Zhong drew out his dagger and carved his name on the bamboo joint under his feet.

After leaving a mark, Kou Zhong turned his head and walked towards the outside of the pier.

"There may be many levels to break the formation, but if you fall into the water, it should be easy, right?"

Kou Zhong remembered that in Bai Qing'er's story, Xie Yingdeng fell into the water at the end of breaking the formation.

Right now Kou Zhong hasn't moved too much, so he is expected to be still on the pier.

No matter what principle this formation uses, but realistically speaking, the location of the pier and Kou Zhong's location will definitely not change.

Then as long as you take a few steps back and fall into the water, wouldn't you be out of this phantom formation?

What a simple method.

Kou Zhong walked a few steps, and soon saw the end of the bamboo bridge protruding from the bank through the white mist.

On the sparkling water under the bridge, Kou Zhong opened his arms and jumped off the bridge without hesitation, embracing nature.

A fool slapped the "water surface" in large characters and landed on his face.

Rubbing his nose in pain, Kou Zhong climbed up from the bluestone slab in embarrassment.

"I hope no one else sees it, it's too embarrassing."

Kou Zhong stood up again. If the bluestone board is not mistaken, it should be the entrance of the stone steps winding down from the pier to explore the island.

The stone steps are slightly narrow, and on both sides are hill-like landscape green belts, lined with trees.

But the reality is that Kou Zhong can hardly believe his eyes anymore.

If you still don't know at least one function of this illusion array, Kou Zhong doesn't deserve Li Buyan's attention.

"Is this also a mirror effect?"

What Kou Zhong first awakened was the water-phase aura, and in his martial arts system, the water-phase aura played a greater role.

It's hard to say exactly how much water-phase aura can do, but Kou Zhong has a little bit of experience in creating illusions with water-phase aura.

If you haven't seen something like a mirage, haven't you heard of it?
It's just that Li Buyan's mirroring level is obviously much higher than Kou Zhong's.

At least if it were Kou Zhong who did it, it would be impossible to achieve the touch and texture of the bluestone slab.

Through the fall just now, Kou Zhong knew that this bluestone was definitely a genuine bluestone.

But it must not be a real bluestone slab.

At least not the bluestone slabs under the bamboo bridge at the pier.

Because a few breaths ago, this place was still on the river.

"If it's an illusion, why didn't you just let me fall into the river? Could it be impossible?"

Kou Zhong thought while resting his chin.

He was not in a hurry to break through.

What can be learned from it is more important than breaking the formation.

Because neither Kou Zhong nor Xu Ziling wanted to follow Li Buyan's path.

After apprenticeship, Li Buyan also said that if he learned his martial arts, he might quickly become a top master, but he also missed the chance to surpass Li Buyan.

Taixu's sword intent is intended to be the first of the sword, the so-called Taixu is even more unpredictable.

If they were too much influenced by Li Buyan's martial arts, it would be impossible for Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to go their own way.

Therefore, Li Buyan only sealed the profound and mysterious Taixu Sword Intent in the sword seal and handed it to the two of them, without imparting anything else.

With the Yijing Sutra of Washing the Marrow, Jue of Longevity, the Sutra of Birth and Extinction of the Five Elements, and a pair of star charts as the foundation of internal strength, plus the sword seal that contains the sword intent of Taixu, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling already have all the conditions to shatter the void.

Whether they can get there depends on how much they can learn from it.

Kou Zhong knew that the illusion formation at the moment was Li Buyan's teaching to him.

Li Buyan wouldn't say how to arrange the formation, how to use the five elements' aura, he would only arrange it according to his own preference into a phantom formation to test Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

And if the two of them could realize something while breaking the formation, it was none of Li Buyan's business.

For the mediocre, this method is definitely the worst teaching method, but for the real genius, it is the best way to put the truth in front of the eyes and let the genius understand it.

Kou Zhong thought about the purpose of Li Buyan's doing so.

Why not convince yourself that you fell into the water?
Isn't it more immersive to fall into the water than to "baji" fall on the bluestone slab?
Didn't the throwing of the bluestone slab immediately let the people who entered the formation know that they had been hit by an illusion?

Kou Zhong didn't believe that Li Buyan chose the bluestone plank because he couldn't do it.

"Is it to make me think that I have left the Zhuqiao Pier?"

Kou Zhong looked at the bamboo bridge, the white mist shrouded it, and the bamboo bridge was looming.

"As far as the maze is concerned, most people go around in circles. If you can advance in a straight line and reach the edge of the illusion, you may be able to break through the formation."

Kou Zhong looked at the direction of the bamboo bridge, convinced of his own judgment, "This direction is absolutely correct."

Kou Zhong started to run wildly, with his back to the bamboo bridge, striding all the way.

Maybe the real world is right in front of you, Kou Zhong thinks that the bluestone slab fell just to make people think he was going in the wrong direction.

If you want to trap people in the formation, naturally you can't give people the opportunity to reach outside the phantom formation.

But Kou Zhong miscalculated.

Kou Zhong ran in a straight line for several miles, but the scenery behind him still changed one after another.

From the stone-step path to Jianhu Square, pass by Zhige Tower and Qiling Pavilion.

It seems that the scenery of the entire island has been covered by Kou Zhong, but the edge of the so-called phantom array has not yet appeared.

Without turning, without stopping, Kou Zhong ran for more than an hour without any useful information.

In fact, halfway through the run, Kou Zhong noticed something was wrong.

But just like a gambler, he always thinks that with the next kick, he should step in the river.

Because of such luck, Kou Zhong ran for an hour.

But Kou Zhong is Kou Zhong after all, after running for an hour, he did not fall into the gambler's dilemma, but stopped decisively.

The area of ​​the island in the center of the lake cannot be seen from the Moon Tower, but it can be roughly estimated.

At Kou Zhong's running speed, ten laps around the island in the middle of the lake in one hour is enough.

But just like that, Kou Zhong couldn't leave the phantom formation, it's definitely not because the straight-line distance of phantom formation is long enough.

There must be a reason for this that I don't know.

"There must be something missing."

While running, Kou Zhong also tried to dispel the white mist, but the result was somewhat, but the result was not satisfactory.

Dispelling the white mist increased Kou Zhong's visibility a lot, but it had no effect at all on breaking the formation.

Naturally, it is also possible that it had an effect, but I didn't find it.

Kou Zhong carefully recalled the changes after the white mist was dispelled.

It was near the Zhige Tower, and the white mist cleared to make the tall Zhige Tower very clear, so clear that Kou Zhong felt a little unreal.

However, at the time Kou Zhong was worried that changing direction would ruin his previous efforts, so he did not approach Zhigelou.

Looking back now, perhaps it was the right choice to go to Zhige Tower at that time.

It is impossible for Kou Zhong to reload the file and start again, but it is no problem to expel the white mist again.

Kou Zhong lit the five-element spiritual fire, using the high temperature of the fire-phase spiritual energy to disperse the white mist.

In fact, it is better to blow with the wind, but wind aura is not the basic element of the five elements aura, Kou Zhong has not yet mastered this advanced aura change.

The spiritual fire had an effect, the white mist around Kou Zhong gradually dissipated, the visibility improved, and the outline of the bamboo bridge at the pier became clearer.

Kou Zhong lowered his head and searched on the bamboo bridge, but he couldn't find the bamboo joint with his name engraved on it.

This made Kou Zhong vigilant.

Obviously this is unreasonable.

Did you miss something crucial?

Kou Zhong kept rubbing the bamboo bridge with his palm, trying to tell the difference from the touch of his palm.

"The only thing that is certain right now is that I am still on the bamboo bridge.

But the bamboo bridge is only so big after all, with my lightness skills, a few vertical leaps are enough to leave the pier.

The key to the maze lies in the use of the terrain to maximize the use of the area.

There is not even a complicated maze here, and it is even less likely that the runner can go back and forth.

Then, there is only one conclusion.

There must be a shadow of illusion in it.

But when did I hit the trick?

Am I still struggling with illusion? "

This is really not a simple question.

The more Kou Zhong recalled, the more he couldn't judge the time when he was bewitched by the illusion.

Kou Zhong searched for several key points in time, the first being the moment when he first boarded the pier.

The white mist that suddenly appeared was a sign of falling into an illusion.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan, who were so close at hand, disappeared without a trace.

Such a result can only be achieved if the senses are affected by illusion.

The effect of the illusion was lifted when his big character fell on the bluestone.

After all, illusion works on the brain, and all senses can be deceived, but if they are affected by external forces, they can also be easily touched.

Although not all illusions are so easy to resolve, but the illusion in this illusion is an AOE attack, and it is normal for the effect to be weak.

Moreover, most illusions are indeed easily deciphered by strong sensory stimuli such as pain.

If the speculation is true, then Kou Zhong probably understands why he did not find the name he carved.

Because at this moment, I was under the influence of illusion again.

As long as Kou Zhong can't see the words he engraved, it's too simple.

It's really enough to be a blindfold.

On the contrary, if you really can't find the handwriting you left, it means that Kou Zhong engraved the words under the illusion.

Only in this way, there will be no Kou Zhong's name on the bamboo bridge in reality.

And in this way, Kou Zhong's big character smashed into the bluestone slab, which became the node of the first illusion.

So what Kou Zhong has to do now is to confirm whether he is under the influence of illusion.

And it is very simple to judge.

It only needs to disturb the true energy in the body a little bit.

The biggest threat of illusion is that if the recruiter is not aware of it, once they know that it is controlled by illusion, it will be easier to dispel it.

It's just a type of hypnosis, and there are too many ways to deal with it.

Kou Zhong clasped his hands together, let the zhenqi in his body violently violently, and shouted: "Solution!"

Opening his eyes, there was no change in front of his eyes, Kou Zhong immediately closed his eyes, and repeated, "Solution!"

Obviously this method is not easy to use, but it also proves that Kou Zhong has not been affected by the illusion.

Kou Zhong gathered all the clues in his mind, closed his eyes and bowed his head to analyze the changes.

If the first time he was hit by the illusion was when the big character was throwing a bluestone slab, it would prove that the direction Kou Zhong chose at that time was actually correct.

Kou Zhong re-judged his position, found the direction he had chosen initially, and walked along the bamboo bridge to the shore.

The boat the three of them sat on was still on the shore, Kou Zhong picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it into the river, the river rippled in circles, making it look extraordinarily real.

So as long as you step on this small boat, you will be able to get out of this maze.

Kou Zhong was in a good mood and jumped from the bamboo bridge towards the boat.

Although the formation has not been broken once, as long as one can freely enter and exit the formation, there is no chance.

Kou Zhong's feet landed on the boat, picked up the oars, and the boat shook slightly.

Kou Zhong pushed the oars towards the shore, and was about to turn around and leave.

But just when the boat started to turn around, Kou Zhong's face suddenly changed, he hurriedly dropped the oars, and jumped back onto the bamboo bridge.

"Damn it, I was fooled!"
