fairy wife

The sky gradually darkened, except for the bridgehead at the beginning, Qiuqiu never saw the mark left by Shi'er again.

"Let's rest here tonight and leave at dawn."

Qiuqiu stopped and nodded.

No matter how beautiful the scenery is, if you walk all the way like this, even if you don't feel tired, you will feel tired in your heart.

Qiu Qiushun pointed to the front: "Let's go to the front and rest on the slope."

The guard didn't object.

Qiuqiu pays attention to see if there is any mark on the side of the road that Shi'er may have left.

Since they didn't rely on flying swords to travel in the trial cave, their footsteps should be similar to Shi'er's, right?Did Shi'er rest near here?Maybe see other messages he left her.

Everything on the roadside is the same as on the way just now, there are stubbled roadside cornerstones, dwarf trees, and wild flowers whose petals have drooped and are about to close because the sun is going down...

Except for this cobbled road, there are no other traces left by man.

Qiuqiu took out two cakes from the Qiankun bag and handed one to Guan Wei: "Brother Guan, try it too, this is plum cake."

The Qiankun bag is really a good thing against the sky. It will not change in color and aroma if you put it in it for a year or so. If there is soup, it won't even spill out.

The guard took it.

Qiuqiu also tore off the wrapping paper that wrapped the plum cake, and took a hard bite.

The plum cake is sweet and sour, very refreshing to eat.

She thought that the guard would not pick up her things.You must know that you have been traveling all the way in the past few days, but you have been courteous.Asking about the cold and the warmth, knowing the cold and the heat, and asking him if he would like to drink water, if he would like to eat something, etc., Guan Wei was as cold as ice, and did not respond at all.

Qiuqiu handed him the plum cake, and she was ready to be rejected.When two people are together, she wants to eat by herself, and it is not good not to greet each other.

In the end, the guard actually took it.

Not only took it.He also tore off the sealing paper and took a bite too.

Qiuqiu blinked—Guan Wei's childish look came out again. When he had a straight face, he looked very serious, with depth and aura.

But as soon as there was an expression on his face, this feeling disappeared immediately.A kind of childishness that was completely incompatible with a master like him was revealed.

Qiuqiu turned her head and took another bite of the plum cake in her hand.

While the cake was still in her mouth, Qiuqiu froze suddenly. She walked more and more slowly, and finally stopped, looking at the place that caught her attention just now.

There was also a stubble on the roadside cornerstone there.There is nothing unusual about broken stubble.This road may have gone through many years of wind and frost, and there are many broken stubbles.

But the stubble was so familiar.I seem to have seen it just now.

"What's wrong?" Guan Wei asked her.

Qiuqiu was a little uncertain and hesitated slightly: "It's nothing...it's just the stubble just now, I seem to have seen it once."

Guan Wei stopped in his tracks with a solemn expression, and Qiuqiu pointed out to him the place he saw just now, but she was not 100% sure: "It's there, it looks familiar."

The guard strode over.Pick up a piece of diamond-shaped gravel by the road and put it in the stubble of the broken stubble.

"Move forward."

Qiuqiu looked back.Follow the guard to go forward.

She counted the steps, about four to five hundred steps, Qiuqiu and Guan Wei stopped together.

Not far in front of them, another stubble appeared on the roadside roadbed.

On the stubble, there was still a rhombus-shaped gravel.

Startled, Qiuqiu turned to look at Guan Wei.

Guan Wei also glanced at him, strode forward, and picked up the piece of gravel.

Sword practitioners know the weight and size of this stone, as well as the angular texture on the stone, all of which are the one he picked up and put on the side of the road just now.

Now I can be sure, it's not that Qiuqiu's eyes are dazzled, but that they have indeed gone through this road just now.

But they didn't look back, let alone turn, and they were able to pass the place they had just passed, which only showed that there was something wrong with this place.

They are likely to have been spinning in circles and not really going out.

Looking at the small high slope not far away, it is not far away, but they have not reached that place after such a long time.

Qiuqiu didn't feel scared, but was a little confused for a while.

The tests encountered before were all real.Wild boars are ferocious, and poisonous snakes are disgusting, but they can be seen and touched. If you defeat and kill them, you're done. But this is the first time Qiuqiu has encountered this level.

This is a formation?Or some other test?

Qiuqiu regained her composure and quickly recalled whether such a situation was mentioned in the books she had read.

Yes, and many more.

Some formations have such an effect. People who walk into the formation will think that they have been walking a straight path, but in the end they find that they are always spinning in circles, and they are not really moving forward.

Also, it seems that there is a miasma, people inhale the miasma and become confused, causing hallucinations, and will always wander in place.

Qiuqiu looked at Guan Wei, both of them were quite awake.If there is only one person, it is still possible to inhale the miasma unintentionally, but it is impossible for two people to be together.

Then what kind of formation did they fall into?

The guard obviously thought the same as her: "This may be a formation."

Qiuqiu nodded.

But how to get out of this formation?

Generally, it is necessary to find the eye of the formation and the heart of the formation.

Guan Wei told her: "Let's not separate, we may never meet again once we separate."

Qiuqiu nodded in agreement and looked around.

The sun had already set, the twilight closed, and the surroundings became dark.The jungle in the distance turned into an indistinct shadow, and insects were chirping and whining in the grass.

Guan Wei is actually not good at formations, he concentrates on the way of swordsmanship, and knows only a superficial level of formations - he doesn't even know much more than Qiuqiu.

Guan Wei shook the hilt of his sword.

If he encounters any difficult opponent, he will not retreat.A sword in hand.He is fearless about everything, and he is confident that he can protect Jing Qiu beside him.

But what I encountered now was this kind of formation.

Guan Wei had no idea how to find a way out of the current predicament.

Qiuqiu squatted down, frowning in thought, took out a pen and paper and began to draw.

Guan Wei hesitated, and squatted down beside her.

What Qiuqiu drew on the white paper was the formation she had seen before.

Because the book was too complicated and she didn't pay attention at the time, she tried to recall as many clues about this formation as possible.

Looking at her frowning.Guan Wei couldn't help but say, "Jing Qiu?"

"Don't talk, let me think again..."

It is not the master's collection, nor is it the book that Shi'er gave her.

That's right, it's in the library of Xiuyuan Mountain. When she was looking for books about space, she once found a book about this kind of formation.

She had expanded many books at that time.This should be one of them.

Qiuqiu took out the Qiankun bag, pulled off the tether, and poured it out.

A pile of books fell out of the ground with a thud.

"Brother Guan, help me find it. I remember it was wrapped in thick bamboo paper, and the book was newly developed."

There are so many books.Brother Guan also helped her find it.

Without much effort, Qiuqiu dug out the book from a pile of rubbings.

"Although I don't know if it's useful or not, I'll check with the above. Here's another one. Brother Guan, you can read it too."

Qiuqiu raised her head to explain something, then lowered her head to flip through the booklet.

Qiuqiu remembered it right. She was trying hard to find clues about the secret realm. The books about space and formations she read were very impressive. She could even memorize many books intermittently and recite them. words.

"Yes, here." Qiuqiu showed Guan Wei the page she turned to: "Is this what is said here?"

Guan Wei read those few lines.nodded.

Qiuqiu raised her head, but the words on the page could no longer be read clearly.She took out the fluorite to illuminate it.Keep looking down while continuing to scribble on the paper.

"It may be the three-star formation mentioned above that traps us. The formation is not too big, nor too complicated. Generally, there is no murderous intent, and it will not kill people." Qiuqiu rubbed his eyes, Guan Wei took the book, Read the context of these few lines carefully.This booklet doesn't just talk about formations, and it's only by chance that this formation is mentioned, and it doesn't talk about how to break the formation.

It's just such a few sentences, it's a pity that Qiuqiu can still remember them accurately after seeing them once.

"Among the three eyes of the three-star formation, only one can let us escape, and the other two are useless if we find them. The eyes of the formation will change, three times in twelve hours, once every four hours." Qiuqiu looked up. He glanced at the sky: "It should be three quarters of the unitary hour now, right?"

The guard nodded.

He was a little surprised.

Qiuqiu's cultivation level is shallow, and the time to get started is also short, not to mention that she has not yet received good and systematic guidance, but her knowledge is as extensive as he imagined, and she is calm and calm.

"From now until the end of Haishi, the formation eyes should not change. We still have two hours to find the formation eyes in this time period."

Qiuqiu pulled out her sword, and first distinguished north, south, east and west by the starlight above her head, and drew a cross on the ground to set the most basic coordinates, and the center point was at their feet.

She then drew an equilateral triangle around the cross, with three corners pointing in three directions.

Qiuqiu looked up at Guan Wei: "Brother Guan, which direction shall we go first?"

Guan Wei can now be sure that his own decision-making may not be better than Qiuqiu's.He said, "What do you think?"

Qiuqiu thought for a while: "It's the time of the unitary, and the hour belongs to gold, and gold is in the west. Let's... try the ones in the west first?"

Guan Wei said without hesitation, "Okay."

The two turned around, Qiuqiu looked down at the triangle drawn on the ground, and the two walked towards the upper left.

It was already dark, but fortunately, the two of them could see the environment clearly without lighting up lanterns and torches.

After stepping off the gravel road, the feet became rough, overgrown with weeds and bushes, and there was no road at all. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
