Refine Gu to become immortal from one person

Chapter 404 Trial Twelve Arrays (Two in One)

The trial of Chiyou Ancient Cave is the most serious and solemn test in the inheritance of Twelve Caves.

There are twelve Gu arrays in the cave, which are presided over by twelve cave masters respectively, so as to test the ability of the practitioner in an all-round way. If he can pass the test, it is equivalent to gaining the recognition of all the cave masters and being qualified Become the new cave master.

When Chi Yao followed in the footsteps of the Great Cave Master and came to the entrance of the cave again, the other cave masters had long since disappeared.

"Okay, go in, I will wait for you in the last round."

Master Dadong patted him on the shoulder, and then flew away.

"Hey, does this cave have a back door?"

Seeing the direction in which he was leaving, Chi Yao muttered something, then stepped into the cave.

This Chi You Ancient Cave didn't seem big from the outside, but after entering, Chi Yao found that this so-called cave was probably built by hollowing out the entire mountain under its feet?
Because the size of the first stone room alone is almost as big as the entire cave from the outside.

Here, Chi Yao met an acquaintance, the Lord of the Twelfth Cave.

I don't know why, the cave masters of Twelve Caves like to wrap themselves tightly in black cloaks, so except for the second, third, twelfth and Da Cave Masters who have been in close contact In addition, although the other cave masters had also appeared in front of Chi Yao, he had never seen his face.

Seeing an acquaintance, Chi Yao naturally raised his hand to say hello, but unfortunately, the other person's face was not as happy as expected, and there was a hint of resentment in his small eyes.

"Cough, this first Gu formation is hosted by me, please enter the formation first."

The twelfth cave master pointed to the stone platform opposite him.

Chi Yao went over to sit down as he said, and then heard the other party continue to speak: "Let me introduce the rules of this round to you first, ahem, as you can see, there is a chessboard below, we call it fighting Gu chess. Listen Lord Dadong said that you came from it, so you must know how to play chess, right? In this set of fighting Gu chess, each chess piece is a kind of Gu, and it must be your own Gu. How to match it and think about it, you can defeat it. I will pass the test. But if my voodoo successfully reaches your feet, it will be considered a failure."

After listening to his introduction, Chi Yao looked down and saw the so-called chessboard criss-crossing below, in which the roads were twists and turns, and there was a condition that he had to protect himself. After a little thought, he roughly understood the situation. What is the test.

"Competing for the ability to manipulate voodoo in multiple lines?"

There was a smile on Chi Yao's face, and the Twelfth Cave Master was inexplicably panicked after seeing this scene, and quickly added, "You can only manipulate your own chess pieces, not mine."

He is also one of the victims of Heart Gu, no, it should be said that he is the biggest victim. The depression that caused thousands of Gu things outside Huagu to be out of his control is still in my heart. , he really didn't want to fight Gu with Chi Yao anymore.

"Oh?"

Chi Yao raised his head when he heard the words, stared at the other party carefully and sized him up and down, "Isn't this a rule you added temporarily? Being able to seize the right to control the enemy's voodoo is also a proof of the superb skills of controlling voodoo." , why not?"

"..."

The Eleventh Cave Master was speechless, he couldn't say it was because he didn't want to lose too badly, could he?
That's right, he didn't think he could win from the very beginning, that's why he had that resentful expression when we first met. Now it seems that he can't even ask for light abuse, so he simply chooses to show off: "You're right , that’s fine, let’s get started.”

In the end, there was no suspense. In front of Chi Yao, he didn't have the chance to display his gorgeous Gu control skills at all, and was easily deprived of all Gu control rights.

"I knew it would be like this..."

The twelfth cave master's eyes were blank, with an expression of "tired, let's destroy it", "Okay, you hurry up and go to the next round."

Seeing his appearance that seemed to have been spoiled, Chi Yao felt a little bit of guilt, and was about to reflect on whether he had gone too far.

But the most urgent thing is to clear the customs, and let's save the introspection for the next time.

Leaving the stone chamber and continuing downwards, you entered the eleventh formation.

Chi Yao, the master of the eleventh cave, has never met before, so there is nothing to chat with, just come in and do it.

However, the way of doing this is quite different from the previous ones. I saw that the master of the eleventh cave didn't release any voodoo at all, but asked, "Let's talk?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Well...it's fine,"

The Eleventh Cave Master said indifferently, "I heard that you are from the Central Plains, so you can tell me the story of the Central Plains, or you can tell me about yourself. To be honest, it can cause such a big vision in the Blood Maple Forest. I believe you are a man of considerable taste."

"Then this trial?"

"Hey, the trial or something is nothing more than to let us cave masters recognize your ability. For us Gu masters, what better way to quickly understand a person than fighting Gu?"

The twelfth cave master shook his head, "But you are different, I have recognized your taste, so it doesn't matter if you fight or not, but I can't let you go so quickly, so why don't you chat to pass the time .”

"So, that's how it is..."

Chi Yao suddenly nodded, "Let's talk about it, I can't say anything else, but I'm definitely in charge of the story here."

……

……

Chi Yao passed the first two checkpoints with ease, but from the tenth formation onwards, the guards of the gates were obviously more serious, perhaps because of their older age?
While Chi Yao was cursing in his heart, he tried his best to activate the spirit snake Gu and wind centipede Gu, roaring and pulling out afterimages that seemed to be real and illusory in the stone room that was not too big.

Swish!
"I won."

Chi Yao stopped, and there was a dark green bullet between the index finger and middle finger of his left hand, and the incense stick used for timing not far away had just been burnt.

Seeing this, the Tenth Cave Lord touched his empty chest. The anti-drug beads that had been hanging there had long since disappeared, so he sighed and said, "The Great Cave Master's eyesight is sure to be right. .”

"Assignment."

Chi Yao cupped his hands in a salute.

This time, the comparison is speed. The tenth cave master seems to have a special Gu technique that allows him to fuse with the blood bat Gu he cultivated, greatly improving his speed and perception.The content of the competition is that the two people each wear a string of anti-drug bead necklaces around their necks, and whoever can take away the other's first will win.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't easy for Chi Yao to win this round. If he hadn't slightly influenced the blood bat Gu at a critical moment, which exposed flaws in the opponent's movement skills, the competition would probably continue to be deadlocked.

But in any case, even going through three battles is a good start.

Chi Yao continued to move forward.

The next trial is also difficult and easy.

The ability of these cave masters really opened Chi Yao's eyes. They are not as versatile as Chi Yao, but they are not inferior in a single field.

For example, the Lord of the Ninth Cave is good at healing Gu, and Chi Yao, who didn't bring the Ice Silkworm Gu, almost overturned with her, but fortunately, the Bidie Gu is also good enough.

There is also the sixth cave master who is good at planting, the fourth cave master who is good at cultivating hybrid voodoo, etc... All of these have caused Chi Yao a lot of trouble, and of course they have also broadened his thinking.

The troublesome ones are naturally simple. For example, the eighth cave master who is good at using poison was restrained to death by Chi Yao, and his depression was comparable to the twelfth cave master he met first.

There is also the Fifth Cave Lord who claims to be unparalleled in strength. He wanted to compete with Chi Yao for an arm wrestling competition, but he was easily defeated by Chi Yao with one hand. The strong men around him who seemed to weigh two to three hundred pounds were a little suspicious of life. Do you feel like you have all the fat on your body?
Just like this all the way through, Chi Yao soon came to the third formation.

Dongzhu, who was in charge of this round, was actually an acquaintance, but she and Chi Yao didn't mean to talk about friendship at all, on the contrary, she was a little cold-eyed.

"Just go to the next round, there is no need to compare."

"Ok?"

Looking at her face, Chi Yao thought that he would be made things difficult, but he didn't expect that she would be the one who let her go the most happily.

"Huh, what? Although I don't like you, I also admit your ability. I can't stop you for a while, so why bother to humiliate yourself."

The third cave master explained a few words lightly, then turned around and refused to speak again.

"Okay then, thanks a lot."

Chi Yao cupped his fists, then turned and left.

The gatekeeper in the second formation, Li Yan, didn't intend to fight Chi Yao either, but he did have something to say.

"Little brother, you also came from it, how do you think the state of the Central Plains is now?"

"Central Plains form?"

Chi Yao was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered that this person seemed to be Li Xingyun's uncle, Zhaozong Li Ye's biological elder brother.

From this point of view, the so-called plan to use the treasures of Longquan to revive the Tang Dynasty has been well-arranged a long time ago, and even sent a prince to escape into the Twelve Caves for decades. The plan is far-reaching and the cost is huge .

But it's a pity that Yuan Tiangang, who was supposed to be Futang's biggest helper, is gone, plus Li Xingyun's character...

Chi Yao shook his head: "The princes rose together and competed for the throne, but..."

Thinking of the chaotic situation of five dynasties and ten dynasties that lasted for more than half a century between the fall of the Tang Dynasty and the rise of the Song Dynasty, he did not hide his pessimism, "Reviving the Tang Dynasty has become an extravagant hope."

"Why do you say that? Today's major princes still hold the titles of the Tang Dynasty. If the Li family can have a powerful person to come forward to integrate..."

"Do you want to follow the example of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty?"

Chi Yao saw through his thoughts at a glance, since the Han Dynasty could be revived, why couldn't the Tang Dynasty?
But compare Li Xingyun with Liu Xiu?
Chi Yao shook his head, unwilling to continue to attack the old man, "My point of view may not be correct, you don't need to pay too much attention to it."

In his opinion, after witnessing the real mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood and the chaos in the world, Li Xingyun may indeed be determined to pull up an army and start fighting for the world in the name of protecting the peace of the people.

With the small half of Jin as the foundation, it is not impossible to fight against the Khitan behind the alliance.

But in the final result, he dared to bet that before the final battle, Li Xingyun felt that the leader of the enemy was more suitable to be emperor than himself, so he directly led the crowd to surrender, and then took his partner and friends to hide in the mountains and rivers.

As for those brothers who followed him all the way to fight the world?
Cough cough, I believe that after they surrender, they will not be made things difficult in the new dynasty. If it is not possible, they will go back to seclusion like him. How good it is to pay attention to mountains and rivers, right?

Abandoning the second cave master Li Xun who was in deep thought, Chi Yao finally stepped into the final battle.

The final level guarded by Dadong Master himself.

The layout here is different from before. Chiyou Ancient Cave is actually a tower-shaped structure, from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain and even deeper, each floor has nothing but Gu formations.

But this last floor was different. A huge statue stood brightly in the center of the stone room, and the Dadong Master sat cross-legged directly under the statue, shrouded in shadow.

Hearing Chi Yao's voice coming in, he spoke slowly:
"You came."

"I am coming."

Chi Yao took two steps forward and responded.

"Your speed is faster than I imagined. It seems that someone in front is being lazy."

Master Dadong sighed and got up slowly, "Forget it, come closer and come to me."

Chi Yao came to the bottom of the statue as he said.

"This is our ancestor Chi You."

Master Dadong's tone was full of reverence and longing, "You have to remember that we were driven to the Hundred Thousand Mountains. One day, we will return to the Central Plains with our ancestors' wishes."

"Ah this..."

Chi Yao was a little hard to understand, "Then why are you hiding from the world now? Now that the Central Plains is in chaos, even if Miao Jiang is not strong enough to compete alone, then finding an ally to join forces is also a choice, and at least it is closer to this goal. Well."

"Because of the promise."

Master Dadong's voice was as calm as before, and he was not shaken by Chi Yao's doubts. "At the beginning, because of Li Chunfeng's reminder, our family escaped the catastrophe. It is our promise to him to escape from the world and live in seclusion."

"Um, but Li Chunfeng has been dead for hundreds of years, and even Tang Dynasty is almost finished. Is there a time limit for your promise?"

Chi Yao asked.

"Of course there is,"

Master Dadong explained, "Li Chunfeng agreed with us that after helping the owner of Longquan Sword once, his kindness for helping us will be repaid, and Twelve Caves has nothing to do with Datang."

"Then you still choose to continue hiding from the world..."

Chi Yao was a little speechless, "Then what's the use of memorizing these things? You didn't take any action when the opportunity came up!"

"Nowadays the Central Plains is full of wars, and the people's minds are settled. It is not easy for Miao Jiang to have a place to live in. Why bother to fight again and drag everyone into the flames of war?"

Master Dadong became sentimental, "I just want you to pass on this belief and not forget your ancestor's last wish. What if a suitable opportunity arises in the future?"

"Fine,"

Chi Yao spread his hands, "Then I will remember, and then."

"Then, it's a matter between the two of us."

The Great Cave Master turned around, and the sudden burst of momentum blew a gust of wind directly in the stone chamber, "You have passed the test of eleven Cave Masters, and you are qualified to challenge me to compete for the position of the Great Cave Master. Then, are you ready?" ?"
