Chapter 505 Hot Soup
"Upper left corner, which position are you referring to specifically? How do you turn back?" Yao Shuang asked immediately.
Li Chuan had just come out of his state. When he heard Yao Shuang's series of questions, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Wait a moment, let me think about it again." He raised his head, rubbed his eyes, and looked again Toward the light. The picture in your eyes is superimposed with the path in your memory.
No one spoke, waiting for him to clear his mind.
After a while, Li Chuan spoke again and said: "The upper left corner is right there." He stretched out his hand and pointed to a place in the light. "Look, there is actually a trace of darkness in the light. The smoke is floating in it, and there is a wisp in the upper left corner. The one with two bends is there. We need to go there first, and then go to the black spot in the middle. If we turn back, we will go layer by layer. Once you reach the deepest point, you can pass.”
After finishing speaking, he added another sentence, saying: "I think this formation may also be conscious, and it is aware of our arrival. So I wonder if it is because I borrowed its light. Then I took out the butterfly spirit and tried it again, but the result was still the same."
Yao Shuang said: "When I looked at the structure of the formation, I planned to walk out of the Dui Gua position, which is what you call the upper left. "Then let's go."
"Let's go," Wen Guying said.
“What if it’s a trap?” Li Chuan asked.
"Then you have to go and take a look, otherwise we won't be able to figure out the reason even if we talk here for a long time. Brother Li, please show me the way down, and then, Senior Sister Yao, I'll do your best again. "Wen Guying said.
"Okay." After Yao Shuang finished speaking, Li Chuan felt the black shovel flash past in front of his eyes, and then they stood in the bubble again. Only this time, the bubble was so small that it could barely wrap around the four of them.
Yao Shuang said: "Fellow Daoist Li, how should we go now?"
"Wait, wait," Li Chuan quickly entered the state, and the pictures in his field of vision kept changing, he said : "Let's go forward first, keep walking, and pass through the building complex. We can only go straight, in a straight line... to the tallest building, let's go up..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet. The scenery began to recede rapidly.
Li Chuan said: "Slow down, Senior Sister Yao, slow down first, let me get used to it first."
The pace slowed down.
"Okay, keep going straight..."
After entering the building complex and reaching the location mentioned by Li Chuan, the bubbles swayed upwards, and then they walked through After passing a layer of light, he entered the formation.
Li Chuan felt the bubbles sinking a little, and then began to rise and fall. There were bursts of hot air hitting his face, and he seemed to smell some kind of fragrance.
It's like being in a pot of hot soup. The hot soup surged forward and passed through the arches formed by the hot steam.
Under his command, Bubble also walked through these doors.
"Continue going forward?" Yao Shuang's voice rang in his ears.
"Well, go forward, then to the left, and we're there. Then we'll start turning back." Li Chuan said.
“Stop there for a moment.” Wen Guying said.
“Understood.” Yao Shuang said.
Soon, they arrived at the upper left corner that Li Chuan had mentioned.
After arriving, Li Chuan discovered that all the soup liquid poured down from here. After passing through the arches made of hot air, the soup liquid would divide into many tributaries and go in different directions. In the end, they will merge into one, return here, and then fall again, and the cycle repeats.
"Shall we continue?" Li Chuan asked.
"Wait a minute, let me take a look again." Yao Shuang said.
"Yes." Li Chuan was not in a hurry. He looked along the main stream of the soup, looked at the path it traveled, and kept comparing it. Finally, he said: "Only the main stream, I see The road is the main circulation road." He breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not something that just found us here and deliberately led us into a trap."
"It might be more troublesome." Wen Guying said.
"What's wrong?" Li Chuan asked. Wen Guying said: "This formation is constantly extracting the spiritual energy in the secret realm."
"Where?" Li Chuan asked.
“Behind the formation is where the clouds gathered where Jiang Mei and the others arrived before.” Wen Guying said.
"Ah? So this formation was just set up? It's unlikely, right?" Li Chuan said.
"It was arranged by the demon spirit in order to open the ferry. The purpose is to extract the spiritual energy in the secret realm. Therefore, opening the ferry requires a lot of spiritual energy." Wen Guying said his inference.
“I have seen fragments of another formation in a ruins, which have some similarities with this one. That formation, after cycling three times, will be temporarily hidden. Senior Brother Jiang should That’s when it’s hidden,” Yao Shuang said.
“Why hide it?” Li Chuan asked.
“I haven’t cracked the principle yet.” Yao Shuang said.
"The black stone outside stabilizes this secret realm, but... if all the spiritual energy is drained, the secret realm will quickly decline and even affect the surroundings." Wen Guying made a decision and said: "The ferry must be destroyed. This The formation must also be destroyed. Li Chuan, show the way, Senior Sister Yao, take us there."
Li Chuan nodded, and when he was about to continue showing the way, Jiang Bai, who had been quiet, spoke up. : "Wait a minute."
"What did you find?" Wen Guying asked.
Jiang Bai said: "There is something else in the spiritual liquid here."
Wen Guying said: "I also noticed that there are impurities in it. Can you know what it is?"< br>
Jiang Bai said: "It's not impurities...but some insect eggs."
"Qingzong's secret technique?" Wen Guying asked.
"Yes." Jiang Bai said.
“What are the uses of insect eggs?” Li Chuan asked.
Jiang Bai said: "I don't know, I only learned a little bit... Later I was forced to learn a little more. Anyway, this must have been done by Jiang Lei, and it was definitely not a good thing."
< br>
"Jiang Lei has also been here." Yao Shuang said.
“Definitely.” Wen Guying said.
"Could he..." Yao Shuang looked around, trying to find Jiang Lei's figure in the flowing soup and dense heat, "Could he be here at this time?"
"We can only continue going down." After Wen Guying finished speaking, he looked at Li Chuan, "Brother Li, continue."
"Okay." Li Chuan also continued to concentrate. , said: "Turn right, then walk straight to the center of the formation."
Following his words, the bubbles moved again. Following the hot soup, they turned back five times in a row. Then a force burst out from the soup, lifted them up, and took them to the center of the formation, the black spot deep in the vortex. .
The speed was getting faster and faster, and all the points and horizontal lines in Li Chuan's eyes were mixed into a ball, and his eyeballs began to sting.
As a last resort, he closed his eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, the bumps under his feet stopped and the heat dissipated. Li Chuan opened his eyes and saw a ferry looming in the white clouds.
