"It seems", Jiang Baizhou couldn't be sure.

Although there are many strange formations in the world, there are not many that even he can't recognize.

Take the Haimen array in the endless sea as an example. The shape of the Haimen array is not a "gate", and there is no clear boundary.If you look at it from a distance, the sea covered by it is almost the same as other places, but the wind is stronger, the waves are higher, and all the exquisite workmanship is hidden deep below the sea surface. Only when you cross the sea will you know the danger.But those who try to cross the sea are basically dead.

The door in front of me does the opposite. It doesn't hide it, revealing the strangest and most unsuitable side of itself to visitors, lest others will not see its strangeness, just like the map that is distributed everywhere. It's clearly a secret, but there is a sense of urgency "for fear that people don't know".

But this door and the scene inside the door are too bizarre. If some man-made thing is so bizarre that it is no longer man-made, some people will believe that it is a miracle.

It's fine if Ji Shixiong and others can't see through it. Why does Jiang Baizhou hesitate?

Because he also "can't see through", if there is a formation in front of him, when he looks at it, he has an inexplicable premonition that "I can't break it".

Even if he hasn't penetrated into the formation yet.

This is the aura of Dazheng.

Let all those who understand and do not understand, worship at its feet.

Jiang Baizhou felt it for a moment, then changed his rhetoric: "It's a big formation, it must be."

Long Ying was deeply surprised: "The ruins of King Beixiao turned out to be a formation? But it's true when you think about it. It is rumored that Wu's formation is the best in the world, and Wu is used by King Beixiao. From the way you say it, it’s strange that there’s no formation around here.”

Jiang Baizhou nodded: "But maybe this is just a goalkeeper formation. We have to go in and see what's going on inside."

Long Ying's hand was held by Jiang Bairi, whose palm was cold, colder than this winter night.

"Brother." Long Ying called him softly, "Are you a little flustered?"

Jiang Baizhou nodded, hesitated and said, "The familiar aura just now is stronger, and my premonition is very bad."

"..."

Long Ying didn't know how to comfort him, she just silently clenched his hand even tighter, caressing each other, trying to get some warmth away.

Ji Yunchan covered her eyes, pretending not to see evil.

Longying ignored her, and said to Jiang Baizhou on her own, "Since it's a big formation, it's probably extremely dangerous inside, brother, listen to me, don't rely on your ability to be strong, and don't take your own safety into consideration. I'm going to be very sad. Then—"

"Crow's mouth." Jiang Baizhou took the initiative to come forward, kissed Longying's lips, and blocked the rest of his words, "Don't talk about these things, they all went in. Xiaoying, let's hurry up .”

Ji Yunchan made a face at Long Ying, imitating Jiang Baizhou's tone and said, "Little Ying, let's catch up!"

Long Ying lowered her face and cast a warning look at her.However, Ji Yunchan was not afraid at all, and followed Jiang Baizhou's sleeves.

……

Inside the stone gate, Ji Shixiong ordered his subordinates to retreat, raised the torch himself, and led the three Patriarchs to go deep.

Each of them brought two guards, a total of 12 people in a row.

In the past, Palace Master Ji always came alone, except for his confidantes like He Qiuping and Huang Qi, he basically didn't bring anyone with him.This time it was because the three great families and Feiguang Palace were on guard against each other, fearing that they would be plotted by each other, so they brought people to protect them.

There are 12 people in the front, 11 people in the middle, and [-] people in the rear.

The sound of chaotic footsteps mixed together, were all covered by the sound of running water in the mountain stream.

The sound of the water was too exciting, and there was actually a waterfall beside the mountain stream, facing the bottomless cave, with a winding path covered with fragrant grass on both sides in the middle.

"Don't touch!"

Zhao Lufu was about to bend down to grab a blade of grass, when Ji Shixiong suddenly stopped him: "Don't touch it! This place is a remnant of immortality. We should be devout and never desecrate any grass or tree."

"..."

Zhao Lufu was frightened by his nagging tone, and said awkwardly: "I just want to see if this grass is real, it's like a hallucination..."

"Of course it's true." Ji Shixiong said, "How can there be such a realistic illusion in the world? The fragrance of vegetation and the sound of water are so real, even if they are fake, they can only be created by fairy art, and they are absolutely extraordinary."

Zhao Lufu was persuaded by him.

Jiao Hen also believed it seven or eight points, but Gongsun Bo was skeptical, showing a cautious look.

Hu Chongshan was also about to pull the weeds, when he heard these words, he couldn't help but put his hands back.

He is stupid, but his intuition is very precise. Although he doesn't really believe in Ji Shixiong's nonsense, this place is full of weirdness, so it is better to control his hands and feet and be careful.

Song Tianqing exchanged a glance with him, turned his head and whispered to the brothers behind him: "Don't move around."

The three people at the end saw all this in their eyes, and before Long Ying and Ji Yunchan could ask, Jiang Baizhou said, "It's fake, it's the same principle as a mirage. But it's really too realistic here, there should be a strange force in it. Back support, I can't make out what it is at the moment."

"What do you mean? Immortal art?" Ji Yunchan couldn't understand.

Jiang Baizhou shook his head: "Immortal art is fabricated by mortals out of thin air, and everything we can perceive has its source."

Jiang Baizhou said similar things to Long Ying more than once. He said that all things recur, one ebbs and another, nothing can appear out of thin air, if there is, it must be an illusion.

"Illusion" is Long Ying's old friend, he has dealt with her all the year round, and he considers himself very experienced.

He feels that if the illusion is so realistic that the eyes can see it, the ears can hear it, the nose can smell it, and the hand can touch it, then it is no different from reality.

It's a pity that ordinary people can't do this.

As for the definition of Xianfan, he actually did not agree with Jiang Baizhou's statement.

Jiang Baizhou never believed that there were gods in the world, but he himself was able to ascend to the sky and enter the earth, turning things into nothingness. Although he said that this was caused by manipulating the five elements, the essence was "borrowing", borrowing and repaying, not unreasonable illusion.

But in the vast world, how many people can "borrow" whatever they want like him?

What Jiang Baizhou can do, others can't do, the gap is so big that it can be called the difference between immortals and mortals.

Even if he doesn't admit it, he still exists like a fairy.

Long Ying didn't want to ascend, and it didn't matter whether he could live forever or escape from the world of mortals, he just wanted to gain strength.

"Power", what a practical and ethereal thing.

Jiang Baizhou will never understand his desire.

If there is no extreme desire, how can mortals be deluded and deceived?

But Long Ying didn't say a word, he would never reveal his despicable desires like Ji Shixiong in front of Jiang Baizhou.

The group continued to move forward, and when they reached the cave, Ji Shixiong suddenly extinguished the torch and walked inside first.

Seeing this, the few people around him didn't blurt out their questions before they saw a faint blue light emanating from something in the cave, illuminating the way forward.

There was also a mystery in that light, faint like a will-o'-the-wisp, but because of the preconceived impression of "fairy trails" that Ji Shixiong instilled in everyone in advance, few people thought it was scary. They only felt that the color of the light was mysterious and noble, and it reflected the deserted cave. It looks like a fairy cave.

The walls on both sides of the cave are very flat, with stone carvings and murals.Ji Shixiong deliberately slowed down to let them take a closer look.

Gongsun Bo was a little dazed, moved forward, almost stuck to the mural, and asked after a long while: "This is... "The Picture of King Beixiao Riding a Crane"?"

"That's right." Ji Shixiong seemed to be the master of hospitality, and his calm tone could not hide his pride, "It is said that King Beixiao is the youngest son of Emperor Wendi of Dayue, who was born with a vision from the sky. It's a pity that the crown prince of Dayue is only passed down to the heir, not his share. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he was entrusted and transferred to Beilu, thousands of miles away from Beijing, and he was unwilling. Recruit a wide range of customers, stock up on staff, and when the time is right, you will start a rebellion."

Ji Shixiong continued to take the lead to go deep, and said as he walked: "Wu Jia - the head of the Wu family at that time, Wu Kun's ancestor, he was the most important one among the many staff members under King Beixiao. He made great contributions to the great cause of seizing power. Wu Jia was born as a literati. Although he could not fight in person, he was proficient in arranging troops. Especially in the later period, he created Wu's formation by himself. Among them, it has been evolved and innovated repeatedly over the years, making it mysterious and magical, and everyone sighs when they see it, and respects Wu Jia as a 'half immortal'."

"..."

"In the ruins of King Beixiao, there are Wu Jia's pen and ink thousands of years ago." Ji Shixiong raised his hand to lead the way, "Everyone, take a few steps, and follow me to have a look."

Once inside the cave, the sound of running water outside disappeared without a trace.

Instead, there is the uninterrupted sound of water dripping in the cave, tick, tick...

The road in the cave went straight down, and after walking out for a while, the front suddenly became clear, and a mist of water appeared in the vast underground space.

Under the mist, there is a pool of springs vaguely covered, about several feet wide, shaped like a pure white lake.

Ji Shixiong said: "Everyone, this is the biggest secret in the ruins of King Beixiao - the spiritual spring that can regenerate mortals."

"Really?" Gongsun Bo stepped on the wet ground and took a few steps closer in the faint blue light, "Is this a spiritual spring? Why can't I see where its spirit is?"

Ji Shixiong said: "What the naked eye can see is limited, Mr. Bo might as well get closer and touch the spring water with his own hands..."

Ji Shixiong's voice was a little bewitching, and the closer Gongsun Bo got, the more he followed like a demon, and he couldn't help stretching out his hand.

At this moment, the entire cave suddenly shook slightly.

The water wave became turbulent, and Gongsun Bo woke up suddenly. Before he could speak, a voice came from nowhere: "Stop!"

The voice was indistinguishable from male to female, as if it came from all directions, only heard the voice but not the person, said: "Don't mortals use your dirty hands to pollute the fairy spring!"

Gongsun Bo was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Your Excellency is...?"

The voice replied: "I am the boy under the throne of Beixiao, guarding the relics of the world for him."

"..."

Ji Shixiong was stunned for a moment—since he got the map of the ruins, he has been in dozens of times, but he has never met this boy. Where did this person come from?Where?

Even he was stunned, let alone the people present.

Song Tianqing and Hu Chongshan were dumbfounded and did not dare to move, Jiang Baizhou also frowned, looked up and looked around, and couldn't help asking: "Who is playing tricks here?"

Long Ying had a flash of inspiration, and whispered a reminder: "Maybe it's the... person who buried Wu Kun."
