across mountains and seas

Except for the two Buddha statues leaning against each other in the middle and the seven mermaid lamps on the four walls, the four walls are empty and there is nothing special about it.

Jing Lan and Liu Xi put away their weapons and put the illuminating luminous pearl in their arms.

Liu Xi gathered the cloak around her body, wanting to absorb more of Jing Lan's remaining warmth on it, she slowly approached the two Buddha statues in the middle, looked up carefully - the one on the left closed its eyes and smiled, the one on the right opened their eyes. The eyes are glaring, happy and angry, other than that, the statue is no different from ordinary Buddha statues.

"Mountain and Sea Hundred Demons Picture", "Arhat Mantang", man-eating snake flowers, here is "Double Buddha Seated Statue", it really fulfills the theme of overlapping demons and Buddhas, and they are mirror images of each other.

Jing Lan looked around and walked around the huge stone room, which was twice as big as [Arhat Mantang], she walked very slowly, every time she took a step, she would carefully tap the stone wall twice with the hilt of her sword to hear Sounds from inside.

If there is still a way to go down here, the hidden life door is either somewhere on the wall or under the two Buddha statues.

Ling Dang had seen Jing Lan and Liu Xi's ability to crack the mechanism, and seeing that the two began to search for the mechanism seriously, she watched quietly and sensiblely, without disturbing anyone.

"No." Jing Lan turned around and said to Liu Xi after completing her circle.

Liu Xi frowned, and looked at the two Buddha statues again.

Suddenly, the smiling Buddha statue suddenly opened its eyes, while the angry Buddha statue suddenly closed its eyes. The expressions of the two Buddha statues turned upside down in an instant, as if they were alive.

"Sister Liu, did you see it?!" Seeing such a strange scene, Ling Dang couldn't help asking in a panic.

Liu Xi nodded, signaling to Ling Dang to calm down first, "Since this place is a weird place, only by getting rid of this weirdness can we know where the way of life is?"

Jing Lan was far away and didn't know what happened just now, "What did you see?"

Liu Xi pointed at the Buddha statue, "When happy and angry, the two Buddha statues will exchange expressions."

Jing Lan walked over and tapped the stone platform under the Buddha statue twice with the hilt of her sword. There was a sound of emptiness inside, and she said seriously: "The bottom is empty."

Liu Xi sighed: "It seems that this is not the bottom floor." After speaking, Liu Xi seemed to have thought of something, "Alan, follow my direction and walk to the wall."

"Okay." Jing Lan didn't ask much, and walked to the wall following the direction of Liu Xi's fingers.

Liu Xi closed her eyes, "Ah Lan, don't move, you also close your eyes."

"En." Jing Lan nodded and closed her eyes.

"Miss Jin, you stare at the Buddha statues, and if they change their expressions, you tell me to open my eyes." Liu Xi said again.

Although she was a little apprehensive, Ling Dang gritted her teeth and mustered up her courage, "Okay!" After she finished speaking, she opened her eyes wide and stared at the two Buddha statues motionlessly.

Time seemed to pass extremely slowly.

The surroundings were suddenly so quiet that he could hear his own heartbeat.

Ling Dang's eyes were staring sorely, and finally saw the Buddha statue exchanged expressions again, and said in surprise: "It's moving! It's moving!"

The first time Liu Xi opened her eyes, she didn't look at the two Buddha statues, but to see if Jing Lan was still in the direction her finger was pointing at. Sure enough, as she thought, Jing Lan was not in the direction she was pointing at. Instead, it moved about ten steps to the right.

"Alan, open your eyes and carve on the stone wall behind you, then continue to close your eyes."

"it is good!"

After Jing Lan finished following Liu Xi, she closed her eyes again.

Liu Xi didn't close her eyes this time, and after pointing to Jing Lan's location again, she watched the Buddha statue change face together, just like Bell, counting something in her mouth silently.

Wait again until the Buddha statue changes face.

Liu Xi looked at Jing Lan again, but it was still the same, ten steps away from what she was pointing at.

"Alan, open your eyes and make a mark."

"it is good."

After Jing Lan finished marking, she looked at the mark on the left, and suddenly realized something, she turned her head and said, "Twelve palaces are divided into each palace, and each palace is divided into one-twelfth of the sky circle, no more and no less." She estimated the curvature of a circle of stone walls. If a trace is carved every ten steps, the round stone room can be roughly divided into 12 yuan.

Liu Xi looked at Jing Lan quite proudly, "Ah Lan is smart, that's it. And," Liu Xi met Ling Ding's bewildered eyes, "A day is divided into twelve hours, and each hour is divided into eight quarters. Every moment corresponds to a face change." After a short pause, he continued in a deep voice, "Here is still spinning the same way, but at a slower speed than above."

"The heavens are divided into palaces, corresponding to the positions of the twelve branches, ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Wu, and Hai." Jing Lan thought to herself about the number techniques that are only recorded in these astrology books , "Hide the gossip in the ground, and open the four gates of Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui."

Hearing the familiar words of the formation, Ling Dang suddenly said, "As long as you find out where the Shengmen is, you can break the formation."

"The twin Buddhas of joy and anger, one yin and one yang, are right in the center." Liu Xi nodded, and had already imagined the structure of the entire stone chamber. This is a mechanism stone chamber designed in the shape of gossip!

The three of them looked at the two Buddha statues in the center at the same time. The two Buddha statues were like the left and right leaves of a door. To open it, you must first find the keyhole.

"Maybe it's the eyes!" Jing Lan walked over and boldly guessed where the keyhole was.

Liu Xi smiled and said, "I also think it should be the eyes."

Jing Lan suddenly remembered the scene when she opened the evil spirit protection, "There is no place to hide the key here, maybe the eyes are both the keyhole and the key."

Liu Xi's eyes brightened, "Alan is getting better and better!"

"It must be so!" Jing Lan was not at all embarrassed, and said proudly: "After all, I am not a child anymore."

Ling Ding quietly gave her a supercilious look. When she had a crush on this young man before, she looked good no matter how she looked. Now that she had stopped thinking about it, after hearing Jing Lan's words, she felt that this young man was a bit arrogant.

"Yin and yang reincarnate, and there are endless gossips, so the twelve palaces contain 28 mansions, and spring, summer, autumn and winter each present a sky." Jing Lan boldly assumed her conjecture, "All things reincarnate, but the word yin and yang, so..."

"Break the land of yin and yang, break the way of reincarnation." Liu Xi looked at Jing Lan with a tacit understanding, his eyes were full of approval.

Jing Lan smiled and nodded.

Liu Xi slowly drew out the sparse shadows, and several plum shadows faintly appeared on the light of the knife, "Alan, I am on the left."

"My right side." Jing Lan also pulled out Chong Xiao, the edge of the sword trembled slightly, and let out a pleasant sword whistle.

"What about me?" Ling Dang clenched her silver gun tightly, she didn't want to always be unable to help.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xi and Jing Lan looked at her sideways at the same time, and said in unison with a smile: "There are monsters on the next floor, and it's up to Miss Jin to show her supernatural power."

Ling Dang was stunned for a moment, what kind of tacit understanding should it take to say the same thing?

Jing Lan and Liu Xi, named uncle and sister-in-law, but Ling Dang always felt that something was wrong, the two looked at each other and smiled lightly, with a special warmth in their frank eyes.

Perhaps, that is the tacit understanding between relatives.

Ling Dang could only think of this answer, but she didn't think too deeply about it. After all, human relations are always at the forefront. These two people are both proud, and they just quarreled a few words. It's impossible for them to be happy with each other, right? ?

Compared to this matter, Ling Dang cared more about another matter.

"How do you know there are monsters on the next floor?"

Liu Xi said with a smile: "One thought becomes a Buddha, and one thought becomes a demon. Miss Jin is smart, so she must have discovered that here is a layer of Buddha and a layer of demon."

It was obviously reminded by Liu Xi that Ling Dang finally realized it, but Liu Xi's words were really sweet and coaxed her very well, so she couldn't help but nodded triumphantly, "That's right!" After finishing speaking, she squeezed tightly. Holding the silver gun, she said in a stern voice: "No matter what kind of monsters the lower class are, this girl must let them taste the power of the Jin family's marksmanship!"

"I'll wait and see." Jing Lan nodded with a smile, and followed suit.

Liu Xi smiled hoarsely, looked back at the Buddha statue, "Ah Lan, let's do it."

"Okay!" As soon as Jing Lan finished speaking, she stood on her toes together with Liu Xi, slashing at the eyes of the two Buddha statues with one sword at a time.

"Crack!"

The sword's edge and the blade's edge entered the eyes, only to hear the sound of a machine gun in the dark.

The two landed firmly on the ground, and subconsciously took two steps back, guarding against all dangers that might arise after triggering the mechanism.

The two Buddha statues suddenly split into two, one facing the left and the other facing the right, as if prostrating something, their foreheads hit the floor heavily.

A strong stench wafted from the stone crossing that appeared under the Buddha statue.

It is easy to live in the Buddha level, but not easy in the demon level.

Liu Xi clenched Shuying tightly, only to feel a layer of cold sweat quietly seeping out of her palm.

Appearing together with the stench, there is also a faint blue light and shadow from under the stone path, and there seems to be a light source below.

Jing Lan put away Chong Xiao, held Liu Xi's hand, tightened it, and then loosened it.

There are some words that don't need to be said, Jing Lan believes that Liu Xi can understand.

Liu Xi said solemnly: "Be careful when going down."

"Old rules, life is the most important thing." Jing Lan looked at Liu Xi and Bell with a smile, "Miss Jin, this time I will scout the way. You and sister-in-law will walk behind me and adapt accordingly."

"Okay." Ling Dang covered her nose and frowned, now there was only one way to go to the end.

Jing Lan raised her sword and walked quickly to the stone crossing, but didn't go down immediately, because she found two lines of small characters on the backs of the two Buddha statues.

She bent down and lowered her head, and read out, "Ultimate Bliss Purgatory. Turning back is the shore." She couldn't help laughing at herself, "I've come here, what else can I turn back?"

"Crash-"

At this moment, there was a sound of water waves deep in the stone path.

Liu Xi frowned, "Damn it!"

Jing Lan smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I am good at water."

"I can't swim." Bell gasped.

This time, Jing Lan frowned. It's okay to care about Liu Xi, but it's okay to care about Jin Lingdang. No matter how good her water skills are, she can't take care of her.

At this time, the three of them were standing at the stone crossing, suddenly they felt a jolt under their feet, and the whole stone platform collapsed.

"Xi..." Before Jing Lan had time to breathe out, she felt her ankle being pulled hard by something, and her outstretched hand had no time to touch Liu Xi's clothes, so she took a step ahead of Liu Xi and was dragged down.

Liu Xi cut off the white-haired claws wrapped around her feet with Shuying, but it was too late to grab Jing Lan's clothes.

"Golden girl!" She subconsciously looked at the bell next to her, stretched out her arms to hook the falling body of the bell, and protected her from landing on the stone slab on the next floor.

But Jing Lan, who fell one step ahead of her, was not in their sight.

The light on the top stopped abruptly, and Liu Xi knew that the mechanism had completely blocked the escape route of the three of them.

"scene……"

"Shh!"

Liu Xi hurriedly gestured to the bell, pulled the bell and retreated behind the half-shattered stone platform, and squatted down hastily.
