The eldest lady is soft and soft, but the surly prince dotes on her openly and secretly.

"Let's do this." Yu Jinhe said suddenly, "If my trip to Youzhou is safe this time, I have nothing to worry about."

"What..." Gu Jingming opened his eyes slightly, "Is that what I meant?"

"Yes."

Gu Jingming had helped her so much. If she continued to be pretentious, she would look very ungrateful.

Because this matter was of crucial importance, Yu Jinhe went down the mountain with Gu Jingming, Senior Brother Luo and a young man named Zuo Hui the next day to explore the truth about the drought in Youzhou.

Logically speaking, it is not very reasonable for a place to experience drought for more than ten years.

Walking outside Youzhou City, several people noticed a vague evil aura. Gu Jingming took out a tracking charm and posted it on the city wall.

The tracking talisman disappeared on the hill outside the village. The tracking talisman was not precise enough and could only find a rough location. It has undergone many improvements today. As long as Gu Jingming is skilled, the error will not be too big.

Follow the tracer. Several people stopped at the foot of the mountain. The surrounding dust is thick, and there are no birds and animals. The mountains are rising upwards, towering into the clouds. There are dry pines hanging upside down on the mountains, thousands of ravines, countless strange cypresses, and the wind and sand make it difficult to tell the direction. In addition, here It's far away from the crowds, and probably no one has visited it for a long time.

Zuo Hui broke the eerie silence at an inappropriate time: "What the hell is this place?"

"Shut up." Gu Jingming said coldly.

Senior Brother Luo reminded softly: "There is a formation."

"Make a mark." Gu Jingming thought for a moment and replied.

Next, along the way, several people will stop and draw a few lines in the places they pass.

Water was hard to come by in the village, and it was supposed to be unbearably hot outside the village. But from the first moment they set foot on this land, the dust was flying, the sun was out of sight, and there was a vague feeling that a storm was coming.

Several people walked all the way towards the horizon, but the mountains so close at hand were like mirages. They seemed so close, but they couldn't reach them no matter how far they walked.

Gu Jingming paused. There was a large stretch of dead wood beside them, and they seemed to have walked through this land before, and the first mark seemed to be in it.

"Go and have a look." Gu Jingming looked at Yu Jinhe and then told Senior Brother Luo, "You guys wait outside now."

The two of them walked into the dead wood forest together, looking for the marks left in the woods.

Yu Jinhe walked around a clump of dead wildflowers and found a banyan tree killed by the strangulated banyan tree behind him. The banyan tree was huge and decadent. The dense aerial roots winding around its surface had also withered, and blackened leaves were stuck in the gaps. , exuding the smell of decay.

Her eyelids twitched. This banyan tree was very iconic, so Gu Jingming asked her to make the first mark right here. She walked around the banyan tree and saw something in front of a fragile aerial root. A pile of marks exuding a faint green light.

She suddenly got goosebumps and walked out from behind the banyan tree. Gu Jingming was five trees away, staring at the green light "One" on the tree.

It seems that he already knew the key, so he was more careful and specially used numbers when marking.

The two of them walked out of the bushes.

Gu Jingming confessed: "Brother, I found the first mark."

"Me too." Zuo Huitiao analyzed: "It has been half an hour since I walked into the dead wood, and there is a mark every other moment, a total of four marks, and now I have just returned to the same place. It is very likely that this place cycles every half an hour. "

"Returning to the same place once in half an hour, what does it mean?"

Yu Jinhe said half-jokingly: "It proves that if we can't get out, we will be trapped in this half hour forever."

Zuo Hui said, "Just find the formation eye."     It is easy to find the formation eye in a simple formation, but it is very difficult to find the formation eye in this kind of formation. Anything may be an formation eye, and it may also be a mechanism.

Several people were silent, seeming to be thinking about what the formation eye was, and each seemed to have their own thoughts.

Gu Jingming suddenly said, "Flowing water does not rot, and door hinges do not suffer from beetles."

Yu Jinhe suddenly understood and continued: "What your Highness means is that it is not this formation that 'moves', but ourselves. Only with our 'movement' can this circle 'move'. If we don't move, this circle will never move." 'Quiet', and if 'quiet' is too long, the formation will easily become unstable and collapse."

Gu Jingming nodded.

Senior Brother Luo pondered: "In this case, we must find something that is truly 'moving' in this circle and is not disturbed by external forces. Then we can break the 'stillness'."

Yu Jinhe can probably understand what they are talking about. To put it simply, this place is a circle. No matter how they go, they will return to the same place. Using this circle as a reference, they are moving; using them as a reference, this circle is moving. move.

As long as they can find something that is not using them as a reference, anything that is 'moving' within this range, that will be fine. After going around in a circle, I even fainted.

No matter what, the top priority is to find the formation.

Yu Jinhe rolled up his sleeves and looked around. He still felt that this patch of woods was the most suspicious, so he said, "I'll go in and take a look first, and you guys will take care of me outside."

Senior Brother Luo said worriedly: "This..."

"Break the formation within half an hour." Gu Jingming walked in with Yu Jinhe without hesitation.

"Zuo Hui, you go too." Senior Brother Luo was not at ease.

Zuo Hui and Yu Jinhe did not respond, with obvious resistance on their faces, "Yes."

Senior Brother Luo pointed in the direction of Yu Jinhe and made a 'protect her' gesture to Zuo Hui.

Entering the dead wood forest, Yu Jinhe looked far into the distance, with black clouds looming over the top and surrounded by peaks. He couldn't see anything 'moving', so he asked Gu Jingming: "What is it?"

"You haven't felt it yet?" Gu Jingming asked intently.

The world seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, the dark clouds were stagnant, and the bare tree branches stretched out, as if using some ancient and strange method to pull the living people into a monotonous and dead picture.

While Yu Jinhe was wondering, there was an extremely subtle sound beside him, rustling, rustling.

It was withered leaves brushing against the ground.

She suddenly said: "It's Feng Dong!"

"Not too stupid."

Is it the wind? Then what? Let her take a knife to chop this ethereal thing?

Seeing that she was still confused,

Gu Jingming reminded: "There are two possibilities. The wind may be caused by a spell that creates wind, or it may be due to a loophole in the formation. Look for the formation or the wind outlet."

You can see all over this place at a glance, including bare bones, forests of dead trees, long stretches of yellow sand, and majestic barren mountains.

The silent forest of dead trees was like a bottomless black hole, with black air permeating every treetop. Countless ghosts stretched out their sickles, waiting for the visit of ignorant visitors.

"Let's go." Gu Jingming said, "I'll stay with you."
