While communicating, Lin Fan and the other two did not stop.
Ahead, there are patches of purple bamboo forests, but not the entire island is covered with purple bamboos.
At first glance, it is not difficult to find that there are many purple bamboo forests, and there are some forest paths for people to pass through.
However, there is no trace of any human presence.
There were no footprints, no stone tablets, and no houses were seen.
But this was just what they saw before them, so Lin Fan and the other two were not discouraged. They walked forward slowly and were extremely cautious.
Even after reaching the island, Lin Fan's consciousness was still unable to 'scan'.
Following the path ahead that led to the center of the island, after walking a few dozen steps, Lin Fan frowned slightly, thinking that something was wrong.
"etc."
"how?"
Old Chen and Zhou Xiaoran stopped and expressed their confusion.
“There is a formation.”
Lin Fan thought about it, and with his spiritual consciousness surging, he caught a fish from the sea behind him and threw it forward.
Bang.
The fish seemed to have hit an invisible wall, bounced back, fell to the ground, and struggled wildly.
"It must be the existence of this formation that prevents my spiritual sense from penetrating into it."
Lin Fan whispered to himself...
"I'll study it."
Seeing this, Old Chen gently reached out to touch the formation.
After all, the fish that just touched it was just blocked. In that case, what is there to be afraid of
He stretched out his hand, and in fact nothing happened. It was like he touched an invisible wall, invisible but tangible, and extremely hard.
"It's somewhat different from any formation I know of."
Old Chen frowned slowly: "At least in the formation that Lin Fan gave me, there is no such thing."
Lin Fan was also exploring, but he didn't know much about formations, so he was also confused.
Although he had seen more formations than Old Chen, the number was still very limited, and he had only seen them but had not studied them.
In addition, this formation can block spiritual consciousness, so it would be impossible for him to see clearly.
Zhou Xiaoran didn't say anything, but there were mysterious symbols flashing in her eyes. After a while, she walked to the side, as if she had discovered something.
Lin Fan and the other man quickly followed.
After a while, Zhou Xiaoran stopped in front of the purple bamboo of "One Family".
"There should be a formation base here."
She spoke with a hint of hesitation: "But I can only barely see the location of part of the formation base. I have no idea what is inside the formation, and whether the scenes we are seeing inside the formation are real or illusions."
"If the formation is broken, I can't say for sure what will happen."
"Sir, what do you think?"
“It’s something that needs to be explored after all.”
Lin Fan frowned slightly, but then relaxed: "If we don't come, others will definitely not let us go."
"No problem."
Old Chen had already started digging a hole, and said, "Now that we have found the array base, I can probably try to make a 'back door' that will allow us to get in."
"After that, just close the door."
"Let me dig it."
Lin Fan made a move, and large pieces of dirt flew out.
At the same time, he was a little curious: "As far as I know, for this kind of protective formation, the formation base should be within the formation's protective range, right?"
"Why is the array base here in the outside world?"
Old Chen said casually: "It should be inside, so I guess, could this formation be a back door?"
Lin Fan stroked his chin and thought: "Don't mention it, it's really possible!"
“Found it!”
During the communication, the formation base emerged.
It turned out to be a piece of glowing purple bamboo!
This piece of purple bamboo is only half a foot long, and there are some mysterious runes engraved on its surface, which looks somewhat extraordinary.
"Huh?"
Old Chen picked it up, looked at it again and again, and finally raised his eyebrows: "This thing doesn't look like a formation base. There is no such thing in the formation runes I have seen."
"It doesn't look like..."
Lin Fan took the purple bamboo and smiled: "This is the 'key'."
He was not particularly unfamiliar with this kind of rune.
The runes on the 'key' to enter the Purple Mansion Protective Sect Array are somewhat similar to the runes on this purple bamboo.
"Is it really the back door?"
Zhou Xiaoran was also laughing: "I was mistaken, I thought it was the array base."
"If it's a key... I can understand it, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan and the other person nodded.
It's really understandable.
This behavior is like putting a key under the carpet or in some other corner in front of an ordinary person's house
"If you look at it this way, the time when the owner of this island lived was really peaceful, right?"
Old Chen smiled and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be so careless as to leave my keys at the door."
"There is another possibility."
Thinking of the murals in the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, Lin Fan pondered: "Perhaps, the owner of this place has gone on a long journey, and he doesn't even know if he will come back."
"So, bury the key at the door of your house and leave it for the right person?"
"Then I hope it's the second one. In this case, there shouldn't be any danger in going in." Old Chen nodded repeatedly.
"It should be the second one."
Zhou Xiaoran analyzed: "Since there is a formation for protection, then the area inside the formation should be the 'home' of this island owner."
"I think there won't be many people who would create dangers in their own homes, right?"
“That’s true.”
It’s like, what psychopath would plant landmines in his own home
Only a truly psychopath could do something like this, right
…
Lin Fan held the purple bamboo in his hand and wrapped the two of them with his own true essence. When he moved forward again, he suddenly felt free and was no longer blocked by the formation.
After entering, at first glance there was no difference from before, which proved that the formation was only used for isolation and did not create any illusion.
But even so, Lin Fan's consciousness was still suppressed.
"It seems that if you are not the master of this place, your spiritual consciousness will be suppressed in the end."
He shook his head and chuckled: "Let's go, let's continue exploring."
The three continued to move forward.
The circular island with a diameter of 5,000 meters was not really big for Lin Fan, except that his spiritual sense was suppressed and there were vast tracts of purple bamboo forests blocking the view. Otherwise, he would be able to see it from beginning to end at a glance.
But even so, it doesn’t take long to visit all of them.
As they had just discussed, they did not encounter any danger, but they also did not see any houses, caves, etc.
“That’s strange.”
Old Chen was puzzled: "Could it be that the cave, house or something is still hidden and hasn't 'grown' out of the ground yet?"
“It’s possible.”
Lin Fan stroked his chin and said, "It's just like a bamboo shoot. Who knows, it might even show its head tomorrow?"
"Are you kidding me?"
Old Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "But I think there is still a little possibility."
"Probably... no."
But Zhou Xiaoran slowly shook his head: "My intuition tells me that there is nothing hidden."
"When I went to Wudang and other places before, I always felt as if the space was folded."
“But there’s no such feeling here.”
"… "
"In other words, this is just an ordinary island?" Lin Fan raised his eyebrows: "That's not right, the movement before was not ordinary."
"It shouldn't be an ordinary island. Maybe there are some things I haven't discovered yet."
Zhou Xiaoran was not too sure at this moment.
After all, her cultivation level is still low. Although she has reached the foundation-building stage with the help of cheating, it is obvious that she still has too little knowledge.
All of these are abilities that come with her 'plug-in'.
Postnatal training, gain of knowledge, etc. are almost zero.
The noise just now was so loud and terrifying, it was strange that she could be sure of it.
"Don't worry."
Lin Fan shook his head gently: "Let's wait and see."
"Aren't you finished shopping yet?"
He couldn't tell either.
This place is really not big, especially for cultivators. If they fly, they can get there in the blink of an eye.
A place that's only the size of a palm.
Why did they make such a shocking noise when they came out, but now there is nothing to discover? !
He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this was indeed a dojo of some big boss before, but when the spiritual energy was exhausted, the big boss went to outer space and emptied his home as well? !
Moving, moving cleanly
Or maybe…
Didn’t that person bury the key at the door of his house
After he left, someone emptied his house, and then for some reason, the island disappeared under the sea or somewhere else
At the same time, this guy caught the key words that Zhou Xiaoran had just said.
Space folding
However, if Zhou Xiaoran were asked to explain it now, she would definitely not be able to explain it clearly, so Lin Fan did not ask any more questions.
It's just that there are more doubts in my heart.
This made Lin Fan want to curse.
On Earth, I should know everything very clearly and understand it very well, right
As a result, there are more problems now than in the world of immortal cultivation. Isn't this ridiculous
But the reality is just like this.
"I've discovered something!"
Suddenly, Old Chen exclaimed.
Lin Fan looked in the direction of the sound and indeed made a discovery.
That is a lotus platform.
The whole body is as crystal clear as white jade, without a speck of dust on it.
The surroundings were already filled with purple bamboo leaves, but there was not a single dry bamboo leaf on the lotus platform, it was as smooth as a mirror.
This alone is enough to show that this lotus platform is extraordinary.
"Interesting, finally found something."
The three of them approached together, and Lin Fan said softly: "But speaking of which, the lotus platform... doesn't it look like something belonging to Guanyin Bodhisattva?"
"Could this really be the legendary Purple Bamboo Forest of the South China Sea?"
No one can answer this question.
When we got closer, we saw that the lotus platform was not protected by any formation. It seemed to be placed alone in the center of the island. Apart from being free from dust, there was nothing special about it.
"Try to sit on it?"
Old Chen suggested.
"It should be fine."
The symbols in Zhou Xiaoran's eyes are hidden.
"Then I'll try."
Lin Fan was not a coward either.
Sit down on it, and then...
Hulala.
A breeze blew from nowhere, and the surrounding bamboo forest rustled, with leaves flying and falling on its body.
Three people: “(⊙o⊙)…”
What the hell?!
When no one is sitting on it, bamboo leaves cannot fall on it. But if someone sits on it, then even this only 'characteristic' discovered so far will be lost, right
"How do you feel?"
Old Chen asked, stroking his chin.
"No."
Lin Fan spread his hands.
“That’s weird!”
Old Chen walked around a few times, touching his chin the whole time, and then, as if he had an idea, he stared at Lin Fan's movements.
"I think your movements are not standard."
"Forehead?"
"Look, whether it's in the works or in those descriptions, when people sit on a lotus platform, they cross their legs or something, but you're sitting on a bench like an old man, with your legs dangling underneath."
"Maybe they won't recognize you?"
Lin Fan was stunned: "..."
"It seems to make some sense, but can this lotus platform have consciousness?"
As he muttered to himself, he crossed his legs and sat on the lotus platform in the Buddhist meditation style.
Then…
His expression changed.
"How is it, do you feel it?!"
Old Chen immediately became interested.
“It’s true!”
Lin Fan looked strange.
It does feel like that. To put it simply, it's like... a spirit gathering array!
Moreover, it was a rather powerful spirit gathering formation. At least Lin Fan couldn't see how it was set up, but the surrounding spiritual energy was gathered and then transmitted to himself through the lotus platform.
"What does it feel like?!"
“It’s a bit strange.”
Lin Fan's expression became even weirder.
"You tell me."
Old Chen was so anxious that he could hardly hold back from laughing and scolding the guy.
"Why don't you feel it yourself?"
"What the hell do I feel?!"
Old Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What's going on?"
"Well, to put it simply, there is a spiritual energy that goes from under my body straight to the top of my head."
Lin Fan thought about it and finally used a more elegant way to express his feelings.
When Old Chen heard this, he stared: "That's it?"
“That’s it!”
Lin Fan spread his hands: "The effect should be better than our large spirit gathering formation, but because the spiritual energy around is too thin, it should not be of much use in the short term."
He stood up without leaving a trace.
"Why did you come down?"
Old Chen was a little puzzled and asked with a smile.
"Hmm... not quite right."
“Hehehe.”
At this moment, Lao Chen's avatar seemed to suddenly understand something and smiled in a somewhat obscene manner.
"Why are you laughing so obscenely?"
"You understand."
Lin Fan rolled his eyes.
But at this moment, Zhou Xiaoran slowly approached the lotus platform, and then, imitating Lin Fan's just now, sat cross-legged.
call.
Another gust of wind blew by.
Then…
"ah?!"
Zhou Xiaoran screamed, her face turned red, and she almost fell off the lotus platform. Even so, she didn't dare to sit on it anymore. She came down with a red face and stood aside with a strange look on her face.
"Puff..."
Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Old Chen was also convinced of his idea and laughed.
"you… "
Zhou Xiaoran's face turned even redder, but she quickly suppressed it and glared at Old Chen speechlessly: "Teacher Chen, do you remember to be a role model for others?"
Old Chen was stunned and pointed at Lin Fan: "He laughed first."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaoran glanced at him with her beautiful eyes.
Can you and my husband be the same
"Hey?"
Old Chen understood what was going on and glared at him, "You are such a typical double standard!"
"It's just double standards, so what?"
Lin Fan laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He then changed the subject: "But speaking of which, I really don't know who designed this lotus platform. I am really speechless..."
Zhou Xiaoran's face turned red again.
“It actually makes sense.”
Old Chen stopped joking and analyzed carefully: "Now it is not difficult for us to analyze that the main function of the lotus platform is equivalent to a spirit gathering array."
"And the spiritual energy is gathered in the spiritual platform. I guess there are many array patterns below, right?"
"But in short, its principle is the spirit gathering array plus high-speed transmission."
"It's not just an ordinary spirit gathering array. It gathers the spiritual energy into the lotus. In this way, it won't be scattered like a spirit gathering array, and the effect will naturally be better."
"So, how can we achieve high-speed transmission?"
"Perhaps it's faster to transmit through the mouth?"
"But you can't bite your mouth on the lotus platform, right? So it's the same if you transmit it from... that thing, it's also a high-speed transmission entrance."
Zhou Xiaoran: “…”
Lin Fan spread his hands: "That's what I said, but I still find it hard to accept it. How about you give it a try, Old Chen?"
Old Chen's expression suddenly changed. He took a step back and asked with a vigilant look on his face, "What's going on?"
"I am already very old, and you still want me to taste the feeling of a chrysanthemum? How ridiculous!"
"Hahaha!"
Lin Fan laughed wildly.
Zhou Xiaoran lowered his head imperceptibly, with a strange look on his face.
So, sir, your feelings are different from mine
But it's true that men and women have different structures, so it's reasonable for them to be different, right
She suddenly felt her face burning, and she frantically suppressed her thoughts and diverted her attention.
…
"So, what do we do with this thing?"
Old Chen spread his hands and said, "In my opinion, if we move it away, it will definitely be useless. There must be various array patterns connecting it, and it may even cover the entire island, or even the sea area outside the island?"
"The array pattern should have spread to the sea. If it is moved away... it will be of no use."
Zhou Xiaoran also spoke according to her intuition.
"Then keep it."
Lin Fan looked at the lotus platform with lingering fear...
It's not that I was really hurt.
After all, spiritual energy is invisible, and it actually gives people a feeling of "transparency" or "coolness"...
But even if it was just an 'illusion', it was enough to scare him terribly.
Now he is extremely resistant and will never sit on it again.
benefit
Indeed, there is.
But man...
Some things, you must persist.
If you get used to it later...
This guy suddenly thought of a picture.
Then one day, he met the saint, and they got married. On their wedding night... it happened to be the time when he and the saint were wearing each other's bodies.
At this time…
Lin Zixiao laughed and said, "Come on, my lady, a night of spring is worth a thousand gold."
Then he, Qi Zi Fan, turned pale.
And then…
Oh my god!
He shuddered all over and almost couldn't help but blow up the lotus platform!
"Just stay here!"
In a split second, the guy made a decision: "You guys keep the keys, whoever wants to sit can sit!"
"As for now... let's search the island again to see if there are any other discoveries. If not... I'll leave first."
Lin Fan said that he was really scared!
If it were an ordinary person, they might just give it a try, but I am different!
