Chapter 15: The Eight Trigrams Formation

  On this side, Su You and three others entered the door in two groups. On that side, Jing Sheng and three others also did almost the same. Only they didn't enter the Qian Gate, but rather the Dui Gate.

  "Ze Duo..." Mu Lian said in a low voice, staring at Jing Sheng for a moment.

  Jing Sheng felt that she was being very profound, but he couldn't understand what she meant. "What am I supposed to do? I don't even understand what you're saying!"

  "There's nothing." Mulian withdrew her gaze and stepped onto that gray stone path which looked no different from the others.

  But in her heart, she thought they were lucky to have fallen together with Jing Sheng and landed at the entrance of the tomb. According to the Bagua position, if they walked left, they could reach the location of the Yin Fish in the shortest time. Not to mention the time it took to walk out, at least they would be better off in the yin land, whether for them or Jing Sheng.

  Watching her so recklessly, Jing Sheng almost shouted out loud, fearing that he would soon see a tragic scene of arrows and blood flying everywhere. But until Muli was about to turn the corner, nothing happened, and he quickly ran a few steps and rushed in.

  What's wrong with this? It's too cold, isn't it? Jing Sheng thought to himself. But he brought Mu Lian and Mu He into the Su You Jiang Siqi, and immediately understood - if it were Su You, for Jiang Siqi, would definitely rush in hastily, right?

  Although Jing Shengping usually couldn't stand Jiang Sizhi, at critical moments, he could only hope that they wouldn't get separated again.

  As for Su You, who was being stared at by Zhen Sheng, he suddenly let out a loud sneeze. He involuntarily stopped in his tracks and glared at the fork in the road that had appeared before him once again.

  "Why so many forks in the road?"

  Su You knew nothing about the eight trigrams, of course, and didn't understand the gates. The only rule he knew about the maze was that there was only one way to go: either always left or always right. First, choose a direction, if you hit a dead end, turn back and walk the second road, if still a dead end, then the third road; as long as there is a way out, it will definitely be tried out.

  The carpet-style search is undoubtedly a stupid method. If there are mechanisms on the road, this walking method will definitely be the rhythm of stepping on everything. But I don't know if he's lucky or if the dungeon is just a simple maze, he walked all the way without encountering anything strange, only the regular pattern of stone path, night pearl, stone path, night pearl.

  "If I can get out of here, I'll definitely sell all these pearls for money!" Su You said with hatred. But he himself knew that this was just a fit of anger, because at this efficiency, it would be great if he could get out before starving to death, how could he possibly care about taking the treasure?

  Complaints are complaints. Su You looked around and chose to go left again. Before entering, he freed up his hand and pressed a hole in the stone wall with force -

  Making marks is actually the most tiring, damn it!

  If Su You's intention was to leave a reminder for himself, then in Du Ying's eyes it was the best way to avoid him. When he reached the first fork in the road, he noticed the thumbprint on the left stone wall and knew that this was the direction Su You had taken.

  "I really don't know if he will or won't..." Du Ying sighed softly.

  They entered from the Qian Gate, directly opposite the head of the Yang Fish. If they went left, theoretically they could reach the Yin Fish the fastest. If Jiang Siqi was indeed the person they were looking for, then Su You chose to go left and coincidentally hit it.

  As for Ben, who was originally a mountain spirit, yin and yang are balanced, and in theory, yin and yang are not important. But now that his energy is much weaker than before, and he hasn't entered the flowering period yet, naturally, yin fish is more suitable for him.

  But he came in later, wasn't it just to take another path and try his luck? His own life is heavier or lighter than all the spirits on the mountain.

  Du Ying clenched his fist and no longer hesitated, turning to walk towards the right fork in the road.

  As for the three people who left from the exchange gate, they naturally did not know that the people who were originally together at the Qianmen had dispersed under Du Ying's deliberate concealment.

  Jing Sheng had been following Mu Lian all along, watching her struggle so hard that he felt a strong urge to speak up. He wanted to suggest that Mu Lian let him carry the load, but then thought it was too generous for someone who had deceived him before, so he hesitated. After another turn, he finally couldn't help but say: "Let me carry it for you?"

  Muzi just pretended he hadn't heard and continued walking forward.

  But Jing Sheng had already spoken, and there was no reason to give up halfway. "I'm telling you, Mulian!" He raised his voice and quickened his pace, trying to catch up with the other person. "Don't force yourself, wait..." He stretched out one hand, wanting to grab Mulian's arm, but his eyes widened as he saw it directly slice through the other person's body...

  A breath of fresh air!

  Jing Sheng was shocked and took two steps back. No, he had mistaken the person! This wasn't Mu Lian, but some kind of illusion or mist!

  Just as he was thinking this, Mulin and Mulan's figures immediately disappeared from his sight.

  "Damn it!" Jing Sheng couldn't help but blurt out a curse. He quickly turned back to look at the intersection - before, he had seen Mu Lian making marks on the stone wall - but without a doubt, the marks had also disappeared.

  Jing Sheng vowed that the only time he let Mu Lian disappear from his sight was at the first turn after entering the door. Now thinking about it, he was probably confused at that time and mistakenly thought that the illusion was the real Mu Lian. As for Mu Lian, she might have also seen an illusion of him following behind her...

  Jing Sheng weakly closed his eyes. He couldn't remember how many turns he had taken, and now thinking about going back to find someone was already impossible, so he could only grit his teeth and continue walking forward.

  Let's talk about Su You. He walked and looked around, but the endless stone walls that showed no signs of change almost drove him crazy. When he lowered his head to take a look, he realized that he had unknowingly walked for two hours, feeling that it was good to rest for a few minutes.

  Then he put Jiang Siqi and Jiuxiaoqin down together, supporting the person on the stone wall. Jiang Siqi still looked weak, he was worried, but there was nothing he could do.

  His gaze fell on the Jiuxiaoqin again, and Su You couldn't help but touch it out of curiosity. He thought that even if he was tone deaf, it would at least produce a discordant twang, but in reality, no matter how hard he pressed, the strings didn't budge.

  This is impossible! He can now pinch stone blocks into powder with his bare hands!

  Originally Mu Lian didn't deceive him? "If Jiang Siqi can play that guqin, then he is the one"?

  Su Youyi stared at his fingers for a moment, then glared at the guqin. He had previously been unwilling to admit it, but now, all the facts seemed to point to one conclusion -

  Jiang Sizhi is the ringleader!
