Chapter 33 Chapter 9 Uncle Broken Arm, the mural in the hall

Consciousness stagnates and freezes at a certain point in time. I can't know if I died in the past, because at that time, I hardly had any thoughts flowing-no thinking, no vitality, everything was just an eternal existence, without any waves. How long has it been?Maybe it's a year, maybe it's hundreds of millions of years, maybe it's just a snap of the fingers. Death may have only one dimension, and time and meaning do not exist. There is a little thing, born in the calm, eternal, still Dead Sea, it begins to germinate, then thrives.It has green leaves and red flowers, so it has a color; it breathes, so it has a sound; it begins to grow, so it has a shape... My thoughts began to recover bit by bit, and in the twenty-two years of my life The memory was played back like a movie, and then I thought of a question.

Am I... dead? No, I am not dead, I can still think, I still remember everything, I am still the "only" existence in this world.I am not dead, this towering tree that occupies my heart is the consciousness of the golden silkworm Gu, it is calling me, Lu Zuo, Lu Zuo, wake up, squeak... Then, I feel like a person in the bottom of the sea The bubbles that were born surged up towards the sea level quickly without stopping for a moment. I am not dead, I still want to live, live well, for all the people I love. ... When I opened my eyes, what came into my eyes was a wretched face, a miscellaneous hair path.

I got up as soon as I got up, looked at him vigilantly, and found that I was still in the room of the "Bagua Soul Locking Formation" just now, the stone tripod, the broken flag, the blue brick wall, as well as my flashlight and backpack on the ground. exist.Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao sighed and said that you finally woke up.Someone next to me said yes, yes, and they were in a coma for half an hour. I looked to the side, and saw Uncle San and Zhou Lin, and a haggard middle-aged man, dressed in rags, with his left hand broken at the elbow and wrapped in a bloody cloth. With a playful smile on his face, Zhou Lin stepped forward to touch my head, and asked if he had a erotic dream?

My whole body was tense, and as soon as his hand stretched out, I immediately grabbed it, leaned on him, hugged his waist tightly, and pushed hard, and I couldn't guard against him. He is 1.8 meters tall. It was actually lifted up by me all of a sudden.He yelled, are you crazy? Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao also looked surprised, saying, Lu Zuo, what are you doing? I clutched Zhou Lin's clothes, which were wet, carefully put him on the ground, sat down, gasped, and said this time it was true. Hearing what I said, the third uncle walked up to me, squatted down, and asked me if I had just walked into the Eight Diagrams Soul Locking Formation?

I nodded and said yes.Just now in the formation, I met Zhou Lin, who took me to a dark abyss, and then pushed me down.He sighed in admiration, helped me up, and said that Lu Zuo, you are really amazing, and your determination is so firm.This gossip-locking soul formation is also recorded by our Xiao family. Most of the people who entered the formation were deceived by illusions in the formation, thinking that they died, and their souls returned to the Youfu, leaving a soulless body , Starved to death within a few days. You believe that you are not dead, and you have a memory in your heart, so you can turn around.

I said it was thanks to the golden silkworm Gu, if it wasn't for the fat worm's cry, maybe I really thought I was dead.This formation is so realistic and ferocious, it can break through people's psychological defenses - I am most afraid of the dark, and I also have acrophobia, and it turned out to be a combination of the two all at once.The third uncle laughed, and said it was thanks to Xiao Ming, if he hadn’t tried his best to move the eyes of the formation, and the eight doors of "Hugh, Life, Injury, Du, Death, Scene, Surprise, and Open", maybe you would have to go through it forever, okay? Boy, you really have a lot of strength, and it's worth the effort the old man gave him back then.

I looked at the stone tripod, and sure enough, there was a long black mark, which was a sign of movement. After talking about this, the third uncle introduced to me the "Yang Guo" who had a broken arm, and said that this was his fourth brother, Xiao Yingwu, Xiao Keming's younger uncle.He was trapped in an eye in this underground complex for more than four days, and they finally found him.When I greeted him, he pulled the corner of Wuqing's mouth and smiled stiffly, saying that it was hard work in a bitter voice.I asked who else is there?did not find?He shook his head and said that he and Da Zhuang were in the cave and got separated. He followed the clues all the way to find here, but he didn't know if Da Zhuang was okay.

The third uncle asked me why I came in, didn't I wait outside with Lao Jiang. I recounted what happened before, and his face turned cold, saying that my uncle also fled here because he was hunted down by the Gan giant.I've heard of those beasts before, but they don't hurt people very much. Why did they become so violent once they got to this ditch?I shook my head, saying no, it doesn’t look like something like giant Gan can do such a thing as beheading and dissection, and the matter of placing the head on the altar, the little demon Duoduo said, Giant Gan can only Do some rough work... In the middle of my words, I suddenly stopped, and a trace of panic spread in my heart.

Third Uncle and the others stopped halfway through my analysis and asked what's wrong? With a trembling tone, I asked them if they had seen Dodo? No, they all said no. When they came, they saw me lying on the ground with flashlights and backpacks scattered. Isn’t this little girl in the pagoda card?As soon as I heard it, I sank my mind into the pagoda tree card with hope, but there was still nothing, and it was empty.I was extremely depressed, it seemed that when I stepped into the formation, the little demon Duoduo was taken away by something. I turned around and looked at the bottle of stone cauldron.

In the phantom in the formation just now, I found Dodo there, but in reality, is it there? I ignored them, turned around and walked to the left corner, followed the pattern on the legs of the stone tripod, climbed up the stone tripod, and looked inside.Inside is a stone trough, and the bottom layer is grease and dust, but nothing else.I was suddenly hit by loss in my heart, and I slid down the stone tripod, leaning on the tripod's feet, with an unconcealable sadness on my face. Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao asked me nervously, is Duo Duo missing? I nodded and smiled wryly, which also felt like crying.

Taking a deep breath, I asked Third Uncle and the others, what exactly is the underground building in this cave?They shook their heads and said it was a mausoleum, but there was no coffin. Looking at it, it seemed to be a place for Tibetan soldiers or an altar.Of course, they are not professional tomb robbers, so they don't know.I said I'm going to find Dodo, and I won't go out until I find her.The third uncle nodded and said that it was natural, since you came for us, and Duo Duo was lost, naturally we have a responsibility, let's look for it together. One more person is more help, for Duo Duo, I will not refuse.He told them everything about entering the room from beginning to end. The third uncle shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying that the mark he made was to indicate that this room was very dangerous and should not be entered. What he said made me vomit blood in anger, remembering nothing, and now I am in trouble.We started to search to see if there was something in this room that could take away ghosts like Duo Duo.While flipping through the pile of broken flags, I summoned Dodo with my thoughts.She didn't echo, those broken flags would break when touched, it's a pity for the third uncle, this flag is a good array formation tool, but after so many years, it's not very effective, and the material itself is not good... After searching for nothing, the third uncle dug out a compass made of red copper from his rucksack. There were fifty-four layers of concentric circles on it, and densely packed traditional Chinese characters were dotted in each space.He held it flat, put it in his hand, and then recited a few consecration mantras.Then, the black magnetic needle of the compass in the middle of Tianchi began to swing from side to side, spinning continuously. His uncle leaned over, looked at it, and studied it together. After a while, the third uncle stopped and said that there is indeed a spirit body here, but this formation is too strong, suppressing many fields that are not of the original attribute, so it is difficult to judge. As far as the current clues are concerned, except for Dodo, There is also a powerful spirit body, and this spirit body is the key figure in charge of the "Eight Diagrams Soul Locking Formation".Ying Wu, what do you think?The haggard uncle's eyes were bright, and he gritted his teeth and said yes. He has been trapped by this ghost for the past few days, otherwise he would have escaped long ago. I was anxious and asked: What do you mean, there is a spirit in this tomb, and it is this spirit that trapped you, uncle, and took Duoduo away? The uncle sighed and said that he, like me, has been trapped in this tomb for the past four days—let’s say it’s a tomb—another place is the “Four Elephant Volunteer Circle”.The array is like this, the more changes, the more complicated, the more ways to survive; the less changes, it is either life or death.He had learned a little bit, after walking a few steps, he didn't dare to move anymore, stayed where he was and did a fortune telling for himself, and the divination showed that Ziwei Xing came from the north, and help was coming, so he went on a diet and waited.In the past few days, he also had a compass, and he didn't dare to move it when he was idle, so he used it to infer divination. This place belongs to the Li Palace, and if it is hard on the outside and soft on the inside, hot on the outside and cold on the inside, there must be Yin spirits. He said it in a mysterious way, but I probably understood that there is a ghost here, and it is a big ghost with an unknown age, and it is very dangerous.Well, let's have it, but what does it mean to take Dodo away?To be the little lady of Yazhai, or...to be eaten? The essence is all energy. If the attributes are the same between ghosts, there is always a way to devour them. I couldn't wait for a quarter of an hour, so I pulled my third uncle and said go, take me to find him. The third uncle frowned, didn't think about it for a few seconds, and then told Zhou Lin to take care of Xiao Yingwu, then walked out the door with the compass in hand, and followed the direction of the pointer to lead the way.I was grateful for a burst of gratitude, Third Uncle, among other things, has a warm heart and a leader's demeanor.Let's go, the twists and turns along the way are exactly the same as the one in my illusion just now, this scene makes me doubt again, am I still in the formation and have not come back? I secretly recited the nine-character mantra, repeating the "inner binding seal" repeatedly, focusing on the word "heart". It’s true——the “Qi” in the space, sent back to give me the most authentic feedback. The third uncle looked back at me, smiled kindly, and asked if he still suspected that this was also an illusion?I scratched my head embarrassingly, saying that I was a little confused and not sure.Uncle patted my shoulder with his good right hand, and said that it is okay to be careful, but don't be like a snake, this will affect your cultivation. We continued to walk and came to the corner in the illusion. After passing, it was not an abyss, but a dimly lit hall.There is a pleasant scent of sesame oil in the air, faint and charming.The third uncle took out a small bottle from his arms, shook it, opened the cap, looked at the color of the liquid inside, nodded, and said it was all right. Then we looked at the layout of the hall. I saw patterns around the hall and on the ceiling, and when I approached, I was shocked.
