Judge of the Lamp

Tao Huayuan set up a magic circle halfway up the mountain and started to contact Taibu.

Tried dozens of times in a row, no response.

This is expected, since the Wind Riding Formation is not working well, the Communication Formation is also difficult to work.

Xu Zhiqiong took out the copper lotus from his bosom, and injected some yin and yang energy into it.

"Tai Bu, Tao'er and I have arrived at the Mountain of Yanghuo. This mountain is indeed a little weird. The Yin-Yang magic circle is no longer effective."

After waiting for a long time, there was still no response from Tai Bu.

Isn't it not just the magic circle that doesn't work?All yin and yang techniques can no longer be used?
Can this mountain stop Yin Yang?
The copper lotus seemed to be a little sensitive, and Xu Zhiqiong could feel the movement of yin and yang.

"Tai Bu, if you hear it, say something."

"Tai Bu, this mountain is too weird, Tao'er and I dare not go up easily."

"Tai Bu, at this critical moment, you should at least make some noise."

laugh!laugh!
There is a sound.

Xu Zhiqiong heard Tai Bu's voice.

The voice was very small, almost inaudible, and the two of them put their ears on the copper lotus, only listening to Tai Bu's words.

"The more critical the situation is, the more you can see that your methods are strange."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled: "Tai Bu can trust me."

Tao Huayuan said: "What method is Master talking about?"

Xu Zhiqiong was also a little puzzled: "Tai Bu, what method are you talking about?"

"Just turn around and look at me!"

Xu Zhiqiong shivered!

Why take a second look?
Where is Taibo?
Did he follow?

The two hurriedly turned their heads to look around, but they didn't see Tai Bu.

Xu Zhiqiong said to Tao Huayuan: "Have you felt the aura of Taibo?"

Tao Huayuan shook her head repeatedly.

"Tai Bu, don't be joking, where are you? Hurry up and show up!"

"Take a look back at me." Tai Bu repeated.

"I looked back, but I couldn't see you!" Xu Zhiqiong looked again.

Tai Bu said: "Don't be shy."

Xu Zhiqiong said angrily: "Look at you old bastard, why are you shy?"

"Jinghan!"

Jinghan?

The master of the Mathematics Pavilion?
Yinggeyuan?
"Jinghan, turn your head around quickly, I like to see your expression in a critical moment."

Xu Zhiqiong blushed.

This old shameless person still has this habit!

Tao Huayuan was a little puzzled.

"Who is Jinghan?"

"Jinghan is..." Xu Zhiqiong muttered for a moment, "I've never been to that place, so I don't recognize it."

Tai Bu, you are so excited, why did you go to Yinggeyuan?
Jinghan's voice came from the lotus.

"It's so beautiful, it's really embarrassing."

"Turn back a little bit, let me see clearly."

Tao Huayuan asked, "Why did you turn back?"

"This... because Tai Bu should be behind Jing Han."

Jinghan's voice appeared again.

"Look at you covered in sweat, I really feel sorry for you."

Tao Huayuan asked in surprise, "Master, why are you sweating so much?"

Xu Zhiqiong explained: "He is so tired!"

Tai Bu let out a long breath and said, "I'm a little tired."

Jinghan said: "Let the slaves come."

Tao Huayuan nodded and said: "This woman named Jinghan is extraordinary. She should be performing a spell with Master. She must be an unpredictable person." …

"Deep, they say it's quite deep," Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "I usually call her Master Jinghan!"

The two heard Jinghan's voice again: "What's wrong with you?"

Tai Bu replied, "I'm fine."

Jinghan said: "But I can't sit at my house!"

Tao Huayuan asked, "What can't be done?"

"He, his that, that is, that."

Tao Huayuan frowned and said, "Don't hesitate, just speak up!"

Xu Zhiqiong wiped off his sweat and said, "Speaking bluntly, even my slaves can't do this!"

Xu Zhiqiong discovered one thing, the Huoyang Mountain was not able to shield Yin-Yang, but changed the nature of Yin-Yang.

This copper lotus was originally used for communication, so it can be understood as a mobile phone.

Now the nature has changed and it has become a bug.

"Jinghan, don't scare me, is it really bad?"

"Don't panic, the servant's seat is here."

Xu Zhiqiong suppressed the yin and yang energy, and his voice stopped abruptly.

Tao Huayuan said: "What are you in a hurry for, and listen carefully, I guess Master must be doing something big."

"Don't care about his big business, save your strength and go up the mountain!" Xu Zhiqiong took the copper lotus, took out six copper coins, and hung them up.

The five copper coins were facing up, and Xu Zhiqiong exclaimed: "It's a good hexagram! You can go up the mountain!"

Tao Huayuan looked contemptuous, and took care of Xu Zhiqiong's face, and didn't say much.

Like most of the mountains in Yu Xianguo, the vegetation here is very luxuriant. The two of them felt a little tired when it was dark. Tao Huayuan wanted to use branches and vines to make a tent for a night's rest.

She cast spells, the branches stretched out, and the vines twisted around, which seemed to be a bit like a tent.

"This technique is actually quite effective!" Xu Zhiqiong took a closer look, and suddenly two vines protruded from the half-formed tent, wrapping Xu Zhiqiong inside.

"Tao'er, what is this for?" Xu Zhiqiong exclaimed.

Tao Huayuan quickly lifted the spell: "Thief boy, I didn't do this!"

The spell couldn't be broken, and the vines became more and more entangled around his body.

Below the knee, a vine wrapped around Xu Zhiqiong's calf, pulling it to the back of his head.

This will not work!

This really cannot be done.

Xu Zhiqiong mobilized the power of his imagery, and a pair of mandarin duck blades flew out from his chest, cutting off the vines immediately. Xu Zhiqiong stumbled out of the tent, and told Tao Huayuan, "Don't use Yin-Yang Art so easily, and find an open place to Sleep somewhere."

It is hard to find an open place, except for a mountain road, the rest of the place is covered by vegetation.

Xu Zhiqiong really didn't want to spend the night in this kind of place. If he was the only one, he would definitely go back to the Zhonglang Courtyard to sleep for the night, but Tao'er had to find another way here.

He pulled out the star iron halberd, cleared a piece of wild grass, picked up a pile of dead branches, lit a fire, and fell asleep hastily with Tao Huayuan.

Sleeping in the middle of the night, Xu Zhiqiong suddenly felt itchy all over his body, and suddenly opened his eyes, and found grass growing on his body.

That's right, it's really grass!
The grass has sprouted, and it is more than three minutes long.

Xu Zhiqiong tore off the grassy teeth all over his body, unbuttoned his clothes and took a look.

The clothes are full of small holes, and the roots are tangled in all directions.

Fortunately, this root was not pierced deep and did not hurt the flesh.

In a blink of an eye, Tao Huayuan also had grass growing on her body. …

She was in a deep sleep, Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward to pull out the tender grass, tore off her clothes and inspected it carefully.

Tao Huayuan woke up, and seeing Xu Zhiqiong's clothes ripped off, she exclaimed, "What are you doing? This place is not allowed!"

"Don't make trouble, don't move!"

Xu Zhiqiong was really scared, the scene just now reminded him of what happened to Jiang Shaoshi.

This is really somewhat similar to the Grass Gu.

It was true that Tao Huayuan's flesh was not injured, Xu Zhiqiong felt relieved.

"You go to sleep, I'm used to staying up at night, so it's okay to sleep less for a few nights."

Tao Huayuan didn't dare to sleep, she took two pieces of clothes from her rucksack, and put them on for herself and Xu Zhiqiong respectively: "Let's go, I've had enough sleep too."

The two went up the mountain until dawn the next day, and a magnificent palace appeared on the hillside.

Xu Zhiqiong is very unfamiliar with Huoyang Mountain, but he is very familiar with this palace.

No matter the scale or construction method, this is almost exactly the same as the Suzaku Palace in Daxuan Capital.

Tao Huayuan stared at the palace for a moment: "Is this the place that Master is looking for?"

Xu Zhiqiong looked up the hillside.

Ju Liang's soul told Xu Zhiqiong that Yu Xianguo's secret realm was on the top of Huoyang Mountain.

And this palace is still some distance away from the summit.

Xu Zhiqiong was not quite sure.

Tao Huayuan said, "How about we go in and have a look?"

"No hurry!" Xu Zhiqiong took out six copper coins and shook them in his hand.

The more sunny sides, the safer.

Xu Zhiqiong tossed the copper coins, and all six copper coins were face up.

Tao Huayuan frowned and said, "It's your messy divination again, I'd better use some decent means to do the divination."

"It's not the means, it's the heart," Xu Zhiqiong put away the copper coins and said, "Besides, on this mountain, yin and yang arts have changed, and divination may not be effective. We'd better be careful."

The two walked into the palace. With the judge's perception, Xu Zhiqiong was sure that there was no one else in the palace.

But the outer hall was spotless, and the smooth stone slabs could reflect people's reflections. It was obvious that the palace had been carefully cared for.

There are seven statues lined up in the outer hall, all of which are humanoid, well-proportioned, with beautiful facial features, and it is difficult to distinguish gender.

Looking at the gorgeous robe, it seems to be the image of a man.

Tao Huayuan said: "This should be the seven constellations in the south, which are Jingmu An, Ghost Jinyang, Liutu Deer, Xingri Horse, Zhang Yuelu, Winged Fire Snake, and Zhenshuiyin."

The withered statues of Qisu in the south also exist in the Zhuque Palace in Wang'anjing, but their appearance is quite different from these seven statues.

In the Zhuque Palace in Wang'anjing, the statues of Qisu in the south are closer to mythical beasts, the image of the ghost golden sheep is very similar to that of a sheep, and the winged fire snake is completely in the image of a snake.

And this palace is full of human statues, even Tao Huayuan can't tell which star each statue corresponds to.

Pass through the front hall and enter the main hall. The statues in the main hall are as high as seven or eight feet.

This is the Suzaku Palace, and the statue in the main hall must be the True God of Suzaku.

But this is not the statue of Suzaku that Xu Zhiqiong is familiar with, it is not the Suzaku flying with wings, but a heroic and handsome man. …

The idol's eyes are lowered, as if looking down on all the creatures on the earth.

He stretched his arms slightly, palms down, as if he was sowing seeds to the earth.

Xu Zhiqiong looked up at the statue, feeling a burst of coercion that made him breathless.

Tao Huayuan said from the side: "This is the true God of Suzaku? What a beautiful woman!"

woman?

Xu Zhiqiong was startled: "What you saw was a woman?"

Tao Huayuan nodded and said, "Look at that dress, it's naturally a woman."

Xu Zhiqiong didn't see the dress, what he saw was a long gown, a long gown commonly seen by Yu Xian men.

While watching, a vine suddenly sprouted from the corner of the statue's gown.

The vines grew slowly along the gown, from the waist to the chest, from the chest to the left arm, from the left arm to the wrist, and from the wrist to the palm.

The vines coiled around the statue's fingertips, and a bright red flower bloomed.

Xu Zhiqiong took a deep breath and said, "Did you see that flower?"

"What flower?" Tao Huayuan looked at Xu Zhiqiong in surprise.

The flower is getting bigger and bigger, and the delicate petals are crumbling.

What happens when the petals fall?

Should the flower wither?

What happens if the flowers wither?

Will something else wither with it?

Xu Zhiqiong wanted to run away with Tao'er, but his body was out of control.

A burst of coercion struck again, and the power of Xu Zhiqiong's image rolled uncontrollably in his body.

In less than half a breath, a series of pictures appeared in front of his eyes.

First, there are six copper coins, three yin and three yang.

Next is the crazy growth of vegetation all around.

Next, the seven god statues in the outer hall became real people and walked into the main hall, accompanied by many rare birds and animals.

In the last picture, the seven stars, all the birds and beasts, together with the tallest giant tree and the shortest grass, all lowered their heads to the god statue.

He's here!

God is here!
Do not look directly!

Tao Huayuan didn't realize this yet, she was still looking up at the statue.

Xu Zhiqiong broke free from the shackles of the power of imagery, grabbed Tao Huayuan's hand, and ran away.

The moment he rushed out of the main hall, Xu Zhiqiong seemed to hear the sound of petals falling to the ground.

"What happened?" Tao Huayuan wanted to turn around.

Xu Zhiqiong turned Tao Huayuan's face smoothly: "Don't look back, hurry up!"

Running to the outer hall, the seven statues are still there.

The sound of petals falling to the ground could be heard from the main hall.

Xu Zhiqiong simply picked up Tao Huayuan and rushed out, rushed to the outside of the palace in one breath, and then ran away for more than a mile.

After the sound of petals falling completely disappeared, Xu Zhiqiong took out the copper coin and made another divination.

Two yangs and four yins!

No escape!

It's getting worse!

run!Still have to run!
Where should I run?

Downhill?

The two copper coins facing upwards point to the direction of the top of the mountain.

Xu Zhiqiong doesn't know how to interpret hexagrams, so he can only use the simplest method to judge.

You can't go down the mountain, the top of the mountain is safe!

Xu Zhiqiong hugged Tao Huayuan and ran all the way to the top of the mountain. After running for an hour, he put Tao Huayuan down.

The run was fast, and the judge had excellent stamina, but Xu Zhiqiong felt that he had exhausted all his strength.

This place is very close to the top of the mountain, and within a hundred or so steps, we will reach the top.

Xu Zhiqiong put down Tao Huayuan, took out a copper coin and made another divination.

Five yangs and one yin.

Good hexagram, this is a good hexagram, this time it should be regarded as escape.

He was about to take back the copper coins, but he saw Tao Huayuan's expression was dazed, her eyes blurred.

Xu Zhiqiong thought she was frightened, so he stepped forward and asked, "Tao'er, don't worry, we are far away from that palace."

Tao Huayuan got up silently and walked towards the top of the mountain.

Xu Zhiqiong hurriedly chased after him.

"Peach, where are you going?"

Tao Huayuan didn't answer, but walked forward.

Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward to grab her, and suddenly felt his palms slippery.

In the palm is not Tao Huayuan's hand, but a few petals.

Tao Huayuan used techniques to get rid of Xu Zhiqiong!

Her yin and yang skills seem to be restored.

But seeing her figure flashing, she appeared on the peak in a blink of an eye.

Xu Zhiqiong hurriedly chased after him, and when he reached the top of the mountain, Xu Zhiqiong hurriedly stopped, and leaned over to see that there was a bottomless cave at his feet.

"The deep valley that the master mentioned is here!"

Tao Huayuan smiled at Xu Zhiqiong, her body swayed, and she fell into the cave.
