Commander's Destiny

Chapter 26

Yao Jingli nodded, and followed Bai Wuyan back to the high platform where Tao Gong's stone tablet stood. Bai Wuyan took out a white jade gourd and placed it in front of him, closed his eyes, sat cross-legged in front of the stone tablet, and fell into samadhi.The white jade gourd didn't change much this time, it was just placed there quietly, but after a while, a crimson glow rose about three meters behind Bai Wuyan to the south, and about [-] meters in front of him Three meters away, a dark jade-colored light glowed in the due north direction, and then azure light and golden white light appeared in the corresponding due east and due west directions.

It seems that in order to break the seal barrier of the four-dimensional beasts, Bai Wuyan once again used the four-way formation that he had used before, but this time the energy was obviously stronger than last time. Bai Wuyan's cheeks twitched slightly, and even his forehead Beads of sweat began to drip out of his face.

Yao Jingli was thinking, when he suddenly saw Jiang Qianfeng walking towards them without saying a word, so he asked, "Qianfeng, when did you come?"

"I'm not Qianfeng. This kid is still asleep. I sensed the energy fluctuations of the magic circle here. I guessed that you might be in trouble, so I decided to come to help."

It was that old and hoarse female voice again, the voice of the mother-in-law Jinghun.She drove Jiang Qianfeng's body to come behind Bai Wuyan, and put her hands lightly on Bai Wuyan's shoulders.I don't know what spell or ability she used, but after only a few seconds, the most powerful crimson light behind them dimmed completely and disappeared in an instant.So Grandma Jinghun moved her hands away, and couldn't help sighing: "This kid is really not simple, he can use such a powerful four-way formation."

Immediately afterwards, the lights in the other three directions also disappeared, and Bai Wuyan also came to his senses, and slowly said to Yao Jingli in front of him: "I don't know what happened, the power of the Southern Suzaku suddenly weakened, it can be said It was almost gone, so I took advantage of the opportunity to break the barrier. Although the seal of the four-dimensional beast is powerful, it is like a wooden barrel. If there is a shortcoming, the whole will be vulnerable."

After Bai Wuyan finished speaking, he looked at Yao Jingli but there was no reaction. He saw her eyes fixed on behind him, and turned around quickly, and saw Jiang Qianfeng standing there.

He was about to ask Jiang Qianfeng why he came, but Jiang Qianfeng suddenly closed his eyes, and rushed towards him as if he had collapsed.Before Bai Wuyan could react, he subconsciously caught Jiang Qianfeng's body and helped him to his side.

Yao Jingli also hurried to help, and the two slowly laid him flat on the ground to lie down.Jiang Qianfeng rested his head on Yao Jingli's thigh, and talked in his sleep: "It's so soft, it's so fragrant, it's so delicious."

Before Yao Jingli heard the last sentence, he mistakenly thought that this guy had woken up to take advantage of him, shouted "rogue", and slapped Jiang Qianfeng on the face directly, slapping him awake.Jiang Qianfeng yelled for a long time as if who am I and where am I, but stood there like an idiot.

Bai Wuyan found out that Jiang Qianfeng hadn't woken up just now, and asked Yao Jingli what happened to him even more suspiciously.Only then did Yao Jingli tell Bai Wuyan and Jiang Qianfeng exactly what Grandma Jinghun possessed her body to help her.

After Bai Wuyan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little bit more suspicious of this soul-cleaning mother-in-law.But right now there is no time to think so much, he said to everyone: "Although this seal has just been broken, it may only be temporary, we must investigate as soon as possible to see what is under the seal.

"But how do we get in?" Yao Jingli couldn't even feel the barrier and seal, and he had no idea about the entrance.

"The central point of the seal of the four-square beast is not this stele. I feel that the stele was erected here later, and the stele is not the tomb of Lord Tao but the stele of Lord Tao. It should be disguised as a tomb. In order to hide the original entrance of the underground space. If you don’t believe me, look, the left and right sides of the stele are obviously a little wider than the base below, which is not in line with common sense,” Bai Wuyan explained his guess and conclusion to Yao Jingli, and then turned to He turned his head and said to Jiang Qianfeng, "Come on, Qianfeng, let's try to move the stele away together."

Jiang Qianfeng heard that he was going to continue to explore novel places, so he hurriedly handed back the torch he had just received from Yao Jingli, went to the stone tablet, looked it up and down, scratched his head and asked Bai Wuyan, "Master Bai, is this stone tablet still worthless?" It’s so big, should we just move it, it feels like we can’t move it, is there any other way?”

"Otherwise, do you think there will be any mysterious mechanism?" Bai Wuyan didn't expect that Jiang Qianfeng would start to think independently, and subconsciously asked directly.

Although Yao Jingli agreed with Bai Wuyan's judgment that the entrance was under the stele, but he really felt that using brute force alone was unreliable, so he hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Brother Bai, there is really no mechanism here. When you broke the barrier just now, I checked it carefully again. But I think what Qian Feng said is right. The stele weighs hundreds of thousands of catties. It must be difficult for you to move it. I have a method here. You can try it. Didn’t you just observe Did you find that the bottom of the stele is wider than the base? Fortunately, the stele itself is thick enough, so we can take advantage of this. First, we need to find two or three longer tree branches, which are slightly thicker and can bear weight, and then place them One end of the tree is thinned and inserted between the stele and the base. Then we put a high platform on the side of the trunk close to the stele, and a long stone brick ladder that can be moved, so that we can stand on the other end of the trunk away from the stone bricks. What do you think of using our weight to pry over the stele together?"

"Good idea, Miss Jingli, you are so smart!" Jiang Qianfeng suddenly felt that his hands were saved, and even praised others.

After hearing this, Bai Wuyan pretended to think about it, but he must have no better way, so he echoed: "Okay, it sounds very reliable, then according to what you said, Qianfeng and I will part ways. Look for it to see if there is a more suitable branch or trunk as you mentioned, and then you can study the angle and position of the specific operation for a while."

After reaching an agreement, the few people did what they said to do. The woodland in this valley is very rich in tree resources. Bai Wuyan and Jiang Qianfeng quickly found a few branches that met Yao Jingli's requirements.After thinning all the branches, the two lifted up a long movable stone brick from the first step.When everything was placed, Yao Jingli stood on a few juxtaposed branches and lifted the longer end, and pressed down hard. She wanted to check whether this small project was up to standard, but she did not expect to be alone. The weight of the person and the heavy stone tablet were all moved a little bit.Seeing that this method is feasible, Jiang Qianfeng and Bai Wuyan also stood up immediately. Sure enough, the wood on their side touched the ground at once, and the stone tablet on the other side was lifted up completely, losing its center of gravity, turned over, and hit it with a bang. on the ground.

"Success, success!" Jiang Qianfeng shouted happily, running over to look while shouting, "Hey, why is there nothing under the stele?"

"Should I also remove the base below? That base may be the cover that seals the entrance." Yao Jingli guessed
After hearing this, Bai Wuyan felt that he could only try, so he came over to push the base under the stele with Jiang Qianfeng.Unexpectedly, without the stele pressing on it, the base below could be pushed easily.After opening it, the two discovered that there were a pair of large grooves on both sides of the bottom of the base, and many round stone balls were placed inside as the sliding track and support of the base.In the middle of the two large grooves, there was indeed a hole, and some steps could be seen leading to the dark underground space.

Feeling that it was finally time to reach the destination of this trip, Yao Jingli excitedly held a torch and walked in the front.Seeing this, Bai Wuyan immediately chased after her, and followed her closely, for fear that she would encounter any danger.

However, it does not seem to be a tomb below. Not only does it not have any signs of decay and dampness, but it is also very dry and clean.After passing hundreds of stone steps, several people descended to an open corridor. The corridor was not very long, and the end could be seen by the faint light of the torch, but the end looked like a dead end.
