"How about it?"

After nightfall, Gu Mu and Gu Yi were the first batch of night watchmen.

The two were chatting in a low voice while exchanging messages from Ling Xiaohua and Huohuang.

At this moment, one of the tent curtains was lifted.

Yang Bai and Bai Hua came out one after another.

The former was pale and exhausted, but his fox eyes were astonishingly bright against the flames.

When Gu Mu saw the other party's expression, his eyes lit up, and he immediately put his gaze on the notebook in his hand.

Yang Bai sat down on the stone beside him, let out a long breath, nodded slightly and spread out the notebook on the stone beside him.

Gu Yi took out two sticks of fire from the fire and stuck them to the side as candles, and several people gathered together.

Yang Bai pointed to the slightly messy pattern lines on the top, and said, "There are six formations on the mountain, but the strange thing is that three of them are on the surface of the mountain, but three of them seem to be on the surface according to the depth estimate. In the mountains. And although the six formations are different, they can be clearly divided into two types, or two factions."

"You mean that the formation on the surface of the mountain and the formation in the mountain may be set up by different people?" Gu Mu frowned.

"Yes, the three formations in the mountain seem to be very simple and clear, but they are the most difficult. So far, I have only vaguely touched two of them, and I can't detect the other one at all. And the formations on the mountain have already been solved. There is a solution, the method of setting up the array is similar to the one that was untied before, so it may have been laid down by that old Taoist."

"Could the formations in the mountains be the formations in the ancient tomb?"

"Well, I thought so too, but I just don't know if these formations have been unlocked." Yang Bai nodded.

Gu Yi thought for a while and said, "Can you find out the location more specifically?"

"Well, this, I'll try." Yang Bai pondered for a while, then nodded uncertainly, then picked up the pen and began to draw directly.

Gu Mu kept changing the fire beside him.

After a while, Yang Bai smiled happily again, clicked on a certain point and said, "I guess this is the one, but I guess this is the center of the formation, it can't be regarded as the entrance, and I can only find out the location of the formation." , but it is impossible to determine the size of the ancient tomb in the mountain.”

Gu Yi nodded, took the book and looked at it, and then immediately directed Fire Phoenix to search for it in his consciousness.

Soon, the fire phoenix came back with a message. The land it visited was within the range of the mountain temple, and the center point was the mountain temple.

However, there is a formation in the temple, and it is still a restricted formation, and the fire phoenix cannot enter temporarily.

People looked at each other.

"The center of the formation in the mountain is also the mountain temple where the old Taoist resides, and a formation is specially added to prevent people from entering..."

"Perhaps, the entrance is in the mountain temple. Even if it is not the real entrance, maybe there is an entrance inside." Bai Hua nodded.

The destination was temporarily delineated. Early the next morning, the group set off camp and hiked up the mountain after a simple breakfast.

This side of the mountain is not the side where the mountain people go up to worship the mountain god, so it can be said that there is no mountain road.

The crowd could only cut off branches as crutches, and slowly climbed up by stepping on the earth and rocks covered by slippery and dense grass.

In spring, the temperature here is still relatively low at this time. Everyone is wearing cumbersome mountaineering clothes and carrying nearly a hundred catties of things on their backs. In addition, the mountain road is really difficult to climb, and they have to take a rest in less than two hours.

Stopping and stopping like this, by noon, it is estimated that it will not climb one-fifth of the way.

After climbing to a place with relatively flat terrain and a large area, we might as well take a rest first and continue after lunch.

In this way, until the evening, according to the news from Ling Xiaohua, they estimated that they only climbed to one-third of the way.

And the mountain temple is at two-thirds of the location, that is, there is still half the distance.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and the surrounding temperature was getting lower and lower, they were already deep in the dense forest, and they could vaguely hear the occasional howling of animals.

According to some people's suggestions, everyone finally found a wider place and cleared an open space to set up camp.

Yang Bai was responsible for setting up a formation around the area to ensure safety.

After one night, even with Yang Bai's formation and the guarantee that no beast could enter the formation at will, everyone still couldn't sleep well. Probably the only one who could sleep to death was Mu Chenglin, who had a rough nerve.

The next day everyone continued on their way, this time without a break past noon, and finally arrived at that floor near evening.

But after reaching this level, they still have to go through the forest to the southwest side diagonally.

Don't look at just crossing the forest, but this section of the road took them two full days.

There will be fog in the forest as soon as the evening approaches, and the magnetic field is a little messy, even the compass is useless.

Everyone got lost on the first day.

Later, when Ling Xiaohua came to lead the way, she passed smoothly.

The only luck is that it is estimated that the old Taoist had cleaned it up before, or they were startled away by Ling Xiaohua and Huohuang's previous mountain patrols. They did not encounter any large beasts, so they were safe and sound.

When everyone successfully arrived at the mountain temple, they were all busy and embarrassed.

Gu Yi ordered to set up camp in the same place and rest for one night first.

Probably too tired, but everyone slept very well that night.

Feel refreshed the next day.

Yang Bai is responsible for unlocking the formation of the mountain temple.

Even though the formation method had already been drafted before, it took two hours to actually solve it.

After the formation was undone, Yang Bai exhaled heavily.

Although that old-fashioned behavior is shameless, the opponent's formation level is indeed strong.

The formation was undone, and a group of people entered the mountain temple.

What you can see is a mountain god statue that occupies almost half of the mountain temple and is almost equal to the height of the roof.

The entire mountain statue is carved like a thousand-year-old tree trunk, which is natural, but the eyes are inlaid with large gemstones.

The sun shines in, and the light and shade complement each other, making the eyes of the mountain god seem to come alive.

Everyone watched, and their nerves tensed unconsciously, as if as soon as they stepped into the temple, everything was under the peeping eyes of the mountain god.

After searching around, as Bai Hua said, I found an entrance.

It's not actually an entrance.

Because this opening has not been fully opened.

The entrance of the cave is in the corner next to the mountain temple, which is very hidden.

Remove a few bricks, and you can see a hole that can only accommodate one person crawling forward with a bag on his back, and the hole starts to slope down after advancing to about three meters.

Next to the hole is a small crane covered with cloth, which was used to transport the soil.

With that old-fashioned cautiousness, it is estimated that he made the hole by himself.

It is estimated that Gu Yi slid to the deepest place so far. The two estimated that the depth of the hole is about five or six feet, and the breathing is a bit difficult. It is no wonder that he has not been able to get through after digging for so many years.

Although the width of the hole can accommodate two people standing at the same time, they must hug each other tightly.

Gu Yi must come down, and Gu Mu has no choice but to lie in his arms, slam his chin on his shoulder, slowly close his eyes, and concentrate.

Soon, the consciousness was pulled out, thread by thread passed through the soil layer, and slowly probed deeper.

Time passed by, and vague inquiries came from the microphone from time to time.

Gu Yi tilted his head slightly, and couldn't see Gu Mu's expression, but he could know his situation from his increasingly unsteady breathing.

The air is getting thinner and thinner, and it will be very bad for the other party to stay any longer.

But at this time, you can't interrupt the other party's idea exploration rashly.

He frowned, slightly tilted his shoulders, raised his hand to support the back of his neck, moved his thin lips together, and slowly passed his inner breath.

Gu Mu's breathing gradually became steady, and his frowning eyebrows relaxed.

After another 10 minutes, Gu Mu finally completed the detection, withdrew his line of consciousness, and slowly opened his eyes.

Just as he was about to exhale, he felt the touch on his lips, and couldn't help being taken aback.

When he opened his eyes, he met the red eyes that couldn't be hidden even with black-eyed contact lenses. In the darkness, they were frighteningly bright, like two clusters of flames.

My heart tightened unknowingly, and my breathing suddenly became rapid.

On the other hand, the other party seemed to be acting very normal, raised his head calmly, opened the distance between his lips, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Eh..." Gu Mu's mind was still muddled, and he couldn't react.

Gu Yi gently pinched the hand on the back of his neck, and said in a low voice, "Go up first."

Gu Mu was shocked by the pinch, and when he realized it, he had already been supported by the other party to go up.

I feel that the hand on the buttocks feels wrong no matter what.

I could only pull the rope, gritted my teeth and climbed up, thinking wildly.

But soon he couldn't tolerate his wild thoughts.

Halfway through the climb, the hands suddenly let go.

For some unknown reason, the rope above seemed to be broken.

Gu Mu's pupils shrank, and the whole person slid down along the inertia.

Although this road is inclined, it is almost vertical at this point, and it slides down suddenly, with a height of nearly six or seven meters, which is probably enough even if it is not dead.

Fortunately, there is Gu Yi protecting him below.

Seeing him slipping down, I immediately hugged him.

When it was about to reach the bottom, the bronze sword stabbed hard against the wall, only to stop the downward force.

It wasn't until his feet stabilized that he regained his senses a little.

Gu Mu was still tugging on the rope, and quickly pulled it back to have a look.

The expressions of the two changed slightly.

The section of the rope is neat, but it is scattered, obviously cut by a sharp weapon.

What the hell happened outside.

Even if Yang Bai and the others are untrustworthy, there is still Gu Liu.

He didn't know if it was because of Gu Yi or what, but he just felt that Gu Liu was absolutely credible.

Gu Yi immediately picked up the microphone and asked a question.

The sound came out of the microphone smoothly, and the call was obviously still available, but it was not connected.

"What should I do? Can I climb up?" Gu Mu pursed his lips and looked up at the winding passage above.

The passage was newly dug, and the soil was still loose, even if it was stuck with a sharp object, it would be impossible to climb up.

Furthermore, this path is too long, not straight, and too narrow, even if Gu Yi can use lightness kung fu, but there is no place to borrow strength, he can't go up directly.

Gu Yi frowned.

At this moment, the microphone suddenly vibrated.

Gu Yi quickly pressed the answer button, and then heard Mu Chenglin's hurried and anxious voice.

"There are a lot of villagers, it's a bit chaotic, don't come up, wait a minute..."

Mu Chenglin spoke intermittently, and soon there was only a somewhat chaotic voice from the microphone.

Gu Mu yelled a few times but no one responded, and his heart became even more anxious.
