Chi Xiaoduo was dizzy, Xiang Cheng jumped up with him in his arms, the two fell into an abandoned mine cart, Qi Wei rushed up, grabbed the edge of the mine cart, and rolled over inside. The mine cart rumbled like a roller coaster, carrying them along the downhill road!
"Wow -" Master Lei Kuang echoed from behind.
"What kind of mine is this?" Qi Wei asked.
"Coal mine." Chi Xiaoduo replied, "Under the primeval forest, there is a lot of coal in the mountains."
The mine cart was not fast, and turned a corner along the zigzag passage. Chi Xiaoduo had a thrilling experience. Seeing that the bat didn't come after him, he said with lingering fear: "It's so handsome."
"Burning money." Xiang Cheng said to Chi Xiaoduo, "At least three thousand was burned just now."
Chi Xiaoduo laughed loudly, and said, "It's simply too gorgeous, at the level of a forbidden curse!"
"Yeah." Xiang Cheng replied casually.
"Xiang Cheng, Qi Wei!" Zhou Wanyuan's voice came from behind.
Xiang Cheng ignored it and looked around vigilantly.
"Here!" Qi Wei shouted for him.
Chi Xiaoduo asked him, "Shall we go into the cave?"
"Yes." Xiang Cheng replied, "Judging from the wind speed, it is a very deep hole. If you are lucky, you can pass through the mountainside."
Qi Wei: "I guess this should be a hidden path."
Xiang Cheng didn't speak, Chi Xiaoduo asked Qi Wei: "Is it possible that even the road in the mine is set by the driving committee?"
Qi Wei asked: "Didn't you realize that when we hid from the rain in the cave, the place that sealed the entrance of the mine was new soil?"
Chi Xiaoduo said, "But it's also possible that the teachers misled you on purpose."
"Yes." Xiang Cheng said, "So I can only gamble."
"It's best to judge carefully." Chen Zhen's mine cart caught up and stopped slowly. "Theoretically, the farther the road, the less likely it is to use force. Choosing to take a shortcut means that your risk of fighting increases."
"The risk coefficient of each road is the same." Zhou Wanyuan's mine cart also caught up, and said, "My father will not give you an easy practical test. It will not give you some landslides on the long road. Send you some mudslides. If you don’t fight monsters, you have to solve puzzles, I’d rather fight monsters.”
"He designed the maze?" Xiang Cheng was a little surprised.
Zhou Wanyuan replied: "The route is not his style. He is responsible for the final revision, calculation of strength and difficulty."
"I hope to do less." Chen Zhen heaved a sigh of relief, "I would rather take a long way to solve the puzzle and rest for a while? Xiang Cheng! Take care of us."
Koda glanced at the fluorescent watch and replied, "It's only eleven o'clock."
"Exploring the way." Xiang Cheng replied, and Chi Xiaoduo walked deep into the tunnel.
Everyone rested for a while, Xiang Cheng walked away from the team for a while, turned another corner, and in front of him was a deeper tunnel. Xiang Cheng lit a cigarette, took only one puff, and the smoke ring floated behind the two of them, spreading, forming a small cloud and gathering behind their shoulders.
Then Xiang Cheng motioned Chi Xiaoduo to stand in front of him, let him turn his back to him, facing the depths of the cave, and put his hand around his right eye, lowered his head, and whispered in his ear : "Try it and see what you can see, keep your voice down."
Chi Xiaoduo slowed down his breathing and opened his left eye wide.
"I can't see it." Chi Xiaoduo turned his head to the side, intertwined with Xiang Cheng's breathing, and stared at his lips.
A little green light from Chi Xiaoduo's eyes reflected in Xiang Cheng's deep eyes, and his voice was low and magnetic.
"Focus on the brow chakra..." Xiang Cheng whispered, almost hissing, with a little hoarseness in his voice, "Integrate yourself with the environment, imagine that you are the world, and you are a part of nature …”
Chi Xiaoduo suddenly felt seduced, especially when Xiang Cheng spoke in his ear, with a little coldness and a sense of control. However, that indifferent and dangerously seductive tone made his mind flutter, and he almost couldn't control himself.
It was darkness, it was evil, it was a force that pointed directly at the most secret place of the heart, like a seductive promise, and like a silent shadow, it sneaked into his heart.
Chi Xiaoduo gently kissed Xiang Cheng's lips.
Xiang Cheng looked at him steadfastly, Chi Xiaoduo kissed him again, Xiang Cheng began to kiss him back, hugging his waist, the thing between his crotch was so stiff, it pressed against him from behind, gently through the trousers caress.
"First... find a way to get out of here." Xiang Cheng tried his best to control himself, "We'll talk about it when we go back."
Chi Xiaoduo hurriedly covered his right eye and looked with his left eye.
"Teacher Zheng taught me a symbol." Chi Xiaoduo said, "I don't know how to use it yet."
"Yeah." Xiang Cheng put his arm around Chi Xiaoduo's waist from behind, bowed his head from his shoulder, listened carefully to what he said, and then focused on his ears and Chi Xiaoduo's childish profile, and asked, "Look What's up?"
After Chi Xiaoduo unlocked the symbol, he looked around and saw something vaguely and very vaguely with his long eyes.
"There's a ball..." Chi Xiaoduo whispered.
"Hush." Xiang Cheng said in a low voice, "It's not that, it's the watchman released by the examiner, don't mention it, look ahead."
"There are many things ahead." Chi Xiaoduo said, "It's green."
"Describe it." Xiang Cheng said.
Chi Xiaoduo looked out with his long pupils, as if there were thousands of jellyfish floating in the air. It is not accurate to say that jellyfish is a strange transparent light body with a ring of eyes embedded in it. The bead, the bead is also spinning around, and there is a split mouth under the bead.
It is a bit like a human head flying in the air, with extended and rotating tentacles under the head, flying in all directions in the silent night.
Chi Xiaoduo described the scene in front of him once, vaguely remembered seeing it in a book, but couldn't remember clearly.
Xiang Cheng had never seen it before, and said, "It should be a kind of underground spirit, something between a demon and a demon."
Chi Xiaoduo suddenly remembered, and said, "Earth veins! Yes! Earth veins!"
"Is there any danger?" Xiang Cheng asked.
"Yes." Chi Xiaoduo replied affirmatively, "It is a diversion of the earth's veins flowing through the mountains and being thrown out under a sharp turn. In fact, these are ghosts, and they can sense living people."
As Chi Xiaoduo talked, he remembered more, and explained to Xiang Cheng: "These are the souls in the leylines. It is estimated that they dug through the strata when digging, and dug directly to the leylines. The leylines are very shallow. The section that flows under the Arshan is especially turbulent. The leyline is like a river, and it splashes when it turns, and then this is born."
"I understand." Xiang Cheng replied, "Maybe there have been many things happened here before."
Chi Xiaoduo hummed, and replied: "There are many supernatural films in Europe and the United States, which are described in the depths of the ground, such as mines and underground rivers. There is a hole in hell, and resentful souls come out from there. In fact, it is not , the situation they encountered was similar to this mine.”
Xiang Cheng signaled Chi Xiaoduo to turn around and go back.
"...I don't know." Koda was telling a group of people about his supernatural experience, "I only had such a dream once."
"What did you dream about?" Chi Xiaoduo asked curiously.
"He dreamed that he was using the perspective of a bystander." Qi Wei repeated, "Watching the whole life of a chicken growing up, and finally being sent to the feed farm to kill."
"It's so pitiful." Koda said, "Unknowingly, tears of sympathy were shed in the dream."
Zhou Wanyuan: "..."
"A chicken's demon." Chen Zhen said understandingly, "It's very strange."
"Sometimes weak animals are very pitiful, and they have no ability to control their own destiny, hey." Da Ke has a lot of emotion for a chicken that grew up and became a frozen chicken.
Fang Yilan said: "In Zhou Gong's dream interpretation, dreaming of killing and eating chickens is auspicious and auspicious."
Koda nodded, and everyone was about to leave. Chen Zhen said, "What did you find?"
Chi Xiaoduo: "There are..." in the cave
Xiang Cheng was behind his back, put his index finger on Chi Xiaoduo's shoulder, and crossed him lightly, motioning him not to speak.
Xiang Cheng said, "Release the wolf and the white deer."
Da Keda and Zhou Wanyuan made hand gestures, their bodies glowed, and a light blue wolf and a white stag appeared in the air, running towards the depths of the passage, illuminating the road along the way.
"This should be a mine that had an accident in the western section of Daxing'an Mountains." Chen Zhen walked slowly, holding Chen Lang's hand, and said, "I remember seeing it in some supernatural event report."
"What accident happened?" Ke Ke followed Chi Xiaoduo step by step, his voice trembling.
Everyone thought about their own things, and no one answered for a while.
Reachable: "..."
When Chi Xiaoduo met Kada, he felt that the hairs on his hands were about to stand on end, so he stretched out his fingers and hooked his little finger, Kada finally calmed down a little, and stopped being so courageous.
"I see." Zhou Wanyuan retracted the white deer and explained, "There are a lot of strange things."
Koda murmured, "What is that?"
Xiang Cheng indicated that it is time to talk now, so Chi Xiaoduo explained: "Derivatives of the earth veins."
At the same time, a small building in the middle of the mountains, the practice assessment central headquarters.
The clock on the wall clicked to twelve o'clock.
Zhou Maoguo, Mr. Zheng, Master Qiao, and Lin Yurou sat in front of the deduction sand table. A ball of light was suspended above the sand table. Light from all directions floated like ribbons and merged into the ball of light.
Zhou Maoguo tapped his fingers on the table.
The sand seems to be alive, and it arranges and combines by itself, showing mountains and terrains. Several strands of sand gather into nine bright spots of different colors, advancing by themselves in the mountainside. Above the heads of the four practice examiners, more than thirty mirrors were suspended, slowly rotating around the central light sphere.
The ball of light shoots light into the mirrors, making the twenty-seven mirrors into twenty-seven screens, like a surveillance screen.
The pictures in the three mirrors tracked the movements of Xiang Cheng's Qiwei group, Da Ke's Chen Zhen group, and Zhou Wanyuan's Fang Yilan group from different angles. Teacher Zheng raised his crutches and slightly turned Xiang Cheng's group down.
[A kind of spirit...] Chi Xiaoduo explained in the screen.
"What kind of spell is this?" Master Qiao asked Zhou Maoguo, "What did they say just now? Teacher Zhou, did you hear that?"
Zhou Maoguo shrugged and said, "What kind of detection spell, I guess Xiang Cheng used it."
"I suspect it's Chi Xiaoduo's spell." Master Qiao narrowed his eyes and said.
"There is no mention in the examination regulations that hostages cannot help." Zhou Maoguo said, "He also made the fire. It is normal to cooperate with each other to escape the danger and use some magic to detect the earth's veins."
"Xiang Cheng is very smart." Teacher Zheng couldn't help laughing.
"I almost fouled just now." Lin Yurou said expressionlessly.
"Yes." Zhou Maoguo replied, "Xiang Jianhua's son is very cunning."
Someone knocked on the door outside, Wang Lei opened the door and came in, saying: "The Xin Yin group has officially failed, what happened just now?"
Master Qiao said sadly: "Xiang Cheng and his group know that there are leylines in the mine. When Chi Xiaoduo was about to remind Chen Zhen, they were stopped in time."
"Xiang Cheng." Lin Yurou pointed at Chi Xiaoduo, and said, "Derived Ling."
"The one with the perfect score on the answer sheet?" Wang Lei sat down with a smile, unscrewed the lid of the cup, and said with a smile, "Interesting."
"According to the rules, once information is shared between the two groups, it will only be counted towards the score of one group." Lin Yurou said coldly, "Xiang Cheng's reaction was very quick, let them release the wolf and the white deer. To explore the way, Ge Gentuoru Leda and Zhou Wanyuan jointly discovered the existence of the spirit derived from the earth veins."
Wang Lei smiled and said, "Smart! In this way, the three groups will score at the same time."
Lin Yurou said, "Little Clever, this is an unfair method, Mr. Zhou, what do you think?"
Zhou Maoguo laughed, shook his head, and spread his hands helplessly: "This does not violate the examination rules."
"Look at the other groups." Teacher Zheng tapped again with his crutches, and the other mirror flipped down.
"This group is out of action." Master Qiao said, "I'm still sleeping now."
"Where's the Dingsi group?" Wang Lei said, "The most promising group this year."
Another mirror was turned down, and on it were six people, forming a team, climbing along the ridge with climbing ropes.
"No spells were used." Lin Yurou raised her chin slightly and said, "Don't wake up the Xue Peng in the cave."
"Wake it up." Zhou Maoguo said, "otherwise their progress is too fast."
"The progress of both groups is relatively fast this year." Master Qiao said with a sarcasm, "Gegento Ruleda didn't even find a hostage last year."
Zhou Maoguo first stretched out his finger, stirred it inside the mountain, and then poked something on the sand table, the little bird immediately spread its wings and rushed out from the mountain wall. The image on the mirror was in chaos. Teacher Zheng tapped lightly with his cane, and the mirror reversed and flew towards Lin Yurou.
"Xiang Cheng's group also has to delay the progress." Zhou Maoguo said, "It's too fast."
"Let's put a monster." Wang Lei took out a small box from the drawer, took out a glass marble, and handed it to Zhou Maoguo, who buried the marble in the sand.
"Awaken the mad spirit of the abyss again..."
"Hmm." Zhou Maoguo said, "This should be more or less the case."
Teacher Zheng shook his head with a smile: "This year's drive committee must be full of talents, even some crazy spirits have come out."
"Let's have another mirror demon." Lin Yurou said.
"Not good." Wang Lei's mouth twitched, "Lafayette, can they get by?"
Zhou Maoguo smiled and spread his hands, Wang Lei had no choice but to pick out another glass bead from the box and put it in Zhou Maoguo's hand.
"Put it in the third level." Lin Yurou said, "Chen Zhen should be able to handle them."
"This is another group that won't work." Teacher Zheng said, "Little Wang Lei, I'm going to trouble you again."
Wang Lei just came back, so he had to put down his things, open the door and run again.
Inside the mine.
At the end of the road, there is a mountain wall that has not been opened on the opposite side, and there is an abyss at the foot, and the bottom cannot be seen at a glance.
"We can only go down here." Koda said, "There is no way, the bottom is full of that kind of thing."
"What... what?" Master Lei Kuang still didn't quite understand, and said, "Didn't you say there was something? Why is there nothing along the way?"
"They all ran down." Zhou Wanyuan said, "If you don't run, you can't see it. It's in a spirit state. We'd better pass here as soon as possible."
"You should steal your father's magic weapon." Xiang Cheng said.
"I don't even know what my dad's magic weapon is!" Zhou Wanyuan said, "And I can't use it even if I borrow it."
"How could it not be used?" Chen Zhen said, "The magic weapons are all recognized by the master, and recognize the blood of your Zhou family."
"What I mean is." Zhou Wanyuan said, "I can activate the pot of time, but I can't use it, it's not that I can't use it, it's that I don't know how to use it, when to use it, and I don't react so fast at all, so I can't judge how to use it If it breaks, you will die."
"What's the principle?" Xiang Cheng asked.
"Have you seen it?" Zhou Wanyuan asked back.
"I've heard of it." Xiang Cheng replied flatly, "Such a foreign name."
"There are more foreign names." Chi Xiaoduo said, "Its name should be 'Entropy Pot' or 'Chaos Pot'. The best thing about it is not to slow down time, but to reverse events!"
"What?" Even Chen Zhen couldn't understand.
"Events evolve from order to disorder." Chi Xiaoduo gestured, "For example, you can smash a cup in the forward direction, and it will become chaotic and disorderly. Regular things always move towards Chaos develops. But that magic weapon can change a broken cup from chaos to order, understand?"
"Can you stop saying that the wonton is blunt? I'm hungry." Zhou Wanyuan said blankly.
"It's not that." Chi Xiaoduo said.
"Can the dead be rescued?" Xiang Cheng said.
"People who have been dead for a long time are not allowed." Chi Xiaoduo explained, "Because the total value of energy and events reversed by the 'entropy pot' is limited. I have read this theorem in a magic book, such as If you want to revive Qin Shihuang, you will have to reverse the whole world for thousands of years. The events that happened in these thousands of years, the dead, the destroyed things, and the dissipated energy will all become regular and orderly again. significance."
"What if it's in a short period of time?" Keda said, "For example, if someone is injured, Mr. Zhou immediately reverses the time."
"It depends on whether that person is strong or not." Chi Xiaoduo said, "Theoretically, the stronger the individual, the harder it is for the entropy pot to reverse what happened to this individual."
Xiang Cheng didn't say a word, as if he was lost in memory.
"How to get down?" Chen Zhen looked into the abyss with his head, and said, "This road is blocked, let's turn back."
Chen Zhen glanced at his watch: "It's only one o'clock now, we spent three hours down the road, and there is still time to go back now."
"Climb down." Xiang Cheng said, "Go back now, and the road will be blocked by accident."
There are only a few protruding rocks on the cliff for a foothold. It's okay to jump if you see it correctly, but if you deviate, you will be smashed to pieces. Qi Wei took out a talisman, lit it with a lighter, and threw it down. The light of the fire slowly fell, reflecting an iron platform about fifty meters away, which was part of the iron ladder leading directly to the high place in the mine. .
On the opposite cliff, there is an iron gate.
"Climb." Zhou Wanyuan said.
"No." Xiang Cheng said in a deep voice.
"Don't climb." Chen Zhen also said, "The rusty ladder is too noisy."
"How about using spells to lower it?" Zhou Wanyuan said.
"You can try it if you think it's appropriate." Xiang Cheng replied, "But when there are no enemies, it's best not to use spells indiscriminately."
Xiang Cheng's words awakened the dreamer, and Chi Xiaoduo also noticed a certain unspoken rule in this practice exam, which seemed to be the case along the way. In the absence of monsters, if you want to take shortcuts and use spells without restraint, you may cause trouble.
Non-combat difficulties require thinking to break through without using any magic weapon.
Zhou Wanyuan didn't insist anymore, and said, "Then listen to you."
Chi Xiaoduo took out a rope from his bag, and Xiang Cheng spread his hand, holding the demon rope in his palm.
"Tie it on." Chen Zhen said, "Ghost knows what's down there, double insurance is always good."
Xiang Cheng glanced at Chen Zhen, and tied the rope to a hook at the entrance of the cave. Koda went down first to explore the way, followed by Qi Wei, followed by Xiang Cheng and Chi Xiaoduo, and then Chen Zhen...the group fell slowly.
"There's something down there..." Chi Xiaoduo whispered next to Xiang Cheng's ear.
"Hush." Xiang Cheng said.
"Do you think it will wake up?" Chi Xiaoduo whispered.
Xiang Cheng turned his head and looked down, and heard a whining sound, which seemed to be the sound of the wind, or some kind of monster.
