Behind the stone gate was a pitch-black passageway filled with water, and a group of people swam in the water for a long time before they felt the exit.
With a splash, several heads popped out of the water.
The still water is gloomy, and the whole space also reveals an indescribable loneliness and desolation.
Wen Qiao crawled out of the water first, then reached out to grab Ning Yuzhou behind him, pulled him out of the water, and sat together on the steps by the water.
Several people dragged their heavy bodies and sat on the steps by the water, looking at the space.
This place seems to be an underground palace with a large space, but the surrounding area is empty, with several thick pillars lined up side by side. In the distance, there is a high platform like an altar. Behind the high platform is a very huge unicorn relief, so there is nothing there.
The place where they appeared was an indoor pool, and the shore was paved with hard and heavy stones, spreading all the way down the pool.
There should be a hidden entrance and exit under this pool, which is connected to the lake outside Chiri Villa.
The spiritual power circulated in the body for a week, the clothes and hair on the body dried quickly, and a group of people stood up.
Shi Wuming jumped to the high platform first, leaned straight towards the relief, and inspected the relief. Pei Qiyu and Su Molan looked around and tapped to see if there were any hidden mechanisms here.
Wen Qiao and Ning Yuzhou were not interested in the things here, but they had some guesses about this place.
After Shi Wuming inspected the relief, he ran over excitedly and said to them: "This must be related to Chiri Villa, maybe it is the hidden secret of Chiri Villa. It seems that the speculation of Minghun Temple is correct."
At this time, Pei Qiyu and Su Molan also came over.
"There is a door there." Pei Qiyu pointed to the end of the palace, which was blocked by several thick stone pillars side by side. Compared with this huge palace, the door was really small and inconspicuous.
Shi Wuming ran over excitedly.
After a while, he came back with a disappointed face, and said with a bitter face: "There is a formation on it, and I can't open it."
Seeing him like this, Pei Qiyu couldn't help but want to taunt him, "If it could be opened, we would have opened it and gone out. Will we come back and tell you?"
These words do not conceal his ambition at all. He will accompany Su Molan in because of the fairy artifact of Chiri Mountain Villa. There are also.
There is nothing worth noting in this palace, and everyone walked towards that door.
The gate is one foot high and half a foot wide, compared with the spacious and tall palace, it seems like a small door that is not popular. It looks very ordinary, but when the cultivator stretches out his hand tentatively, he can feel the fluctuation of the formation that bounces back. If he wants to push the door forcibly, he may be backlashed by the formation on the door.
"I just said why the stone gate below can be opened only by brute force. It turns out that it is waiting for us here." Shi Wuming looked at Ning Yuzhou and hurried over, "Brother Ning, it's up to you next." gone."
Ning Yuzhou looked at the door, and didn't rush to do anything, but asked: "If this place is related to Chiri Villa, how will we distribute the treasures inside?"
Shi Wuming blinked his eyes, and said without hesitation: "The fairy artifact belongs to you, and other things depend on personal luck."
This should also be compared with the saying that treasures follow fate, not only cultivators choose treasures, but also those who choose heaven, material and earth treasures will also choose practitioners, depending on personal luck-except for killing people to seize treasures.
Shi Wuming's words also showed his attitude. If the treasure here chooses whoever he chooses, then it will be his. You can't complain and attack your companions. Of course, with their character and intelligence, they would not do such a thing.
Shi Wuming's answer was very forthright, and Pei Qiyu, who had always been displeased with him, felt that this person still had merit.
Then, everyone retreated, and Ning Yuzhou broke the formation.
Ning Yuzhou first played a few spells, and the spells landed on the door, bursting with spiritual light. He carefully observed the formation on the door, and closed his eyes for a long time to contemplate.
Everyone didn't dare to disturb him, they waited there quietly, observing the surroundings by the way.
After an hour like this, Ning Yuzhou finally opened his eyes, and quickly made a tactic with both hands.
A series of complicated and mysterious formulas were shot out from his hands, and they fell into the formation on the door, as if they fit together with it. The formation bursts of spiritual light.
Ning Yuzhou looked serious, and the spells he played with both hands contained some kind of wonderful rhythm, which made people understand the superb attainments of this person's formations.
"Is this a solution?" Shi Wuming was surprised.
Wen Qiao hummed, "My husband doesn't want to destroy the formation above."
The speed of breaking the formation is naturally fast, after all, destruction is always the fastest. But to unravel the formation, not only do you have to figure out the structure and principle of the formation, but you also need to spend time to untie it one by one, which requires a lot of effort.
Although he didn't understand why Ning Yuzhou didn't want to break the formation, but chose the more troublesome method of dissolving the formation, but he always had his own ideas in his actions, and it was difficult for everyone to say anything.
After another half an hour, there was a click, and the door was slightly loosened.
After Ning Yuzhou played the last formula, he finally stopped. At this time, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his breath was a little unstable.
Wen Qiao quickly fed him a tonic pill, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
"Okay, let's go and open the door." Ning Yuzhou said to Shi Wuming and the others.
Shi Wuming is a foolish and bold person, regardless of whether there is anything behind the door, he stepped forward and opened the door first.
Behind the door is a long aisle with no end in sight. On both sides of the aisle are tall and thick stone pillars side by side. On the stone pillars are wrapped around various stone carvings of unicorns. Every unicorn is vivid and extremely agile, as if they will Leaped out of the pillar and appeared before the world.
"This Chiri Villa likes Qilin too much, doesn't it?" Shi Wuming muttered in bewilderment.
I don't know what mechanism Shi Wuming's words touched. When he finished speaking, the pillars on both sides of the aisle suddenly moved. The stone pillars are clearly standing side by side, but at this moment they can move at will, criss-crossing and crushing towards Shi Wuming.
Shi Wuming quickly dodged, his figure nimbly clung to the unicorn relief on the pillar, avoiding other stone pillars that bumped into him.
He didn't know that the unicorn relief could move, his hand slipped and he almost fell down. When he was about to be crushed by two stone pillars, a long whip swung at him and dragged him back.
Wen Qiao and the others also ran forward quickly.
The stone pillars on both sides of the aisle criss-crossed to block their way forward. It was obviously not a long way, but they were very embarrassed to hide.
The stone pillar moves very fast, and if a practitioner is not careful, he will collide with it head-on. Shi Wuming was wrapped by Wen Qiao's long whip, and was hit by the stone pillar several times, which made him scream in pain, feeling All bones are about to break.
"That's your illusion, you can't stop it, don't worry." Wen Qiao comforted him.
It took some time before they finally left the aisle.
As they left, the stone pillars on the aisle also returned to normal, standing on both sides of the aisle, without the slightest attack power.
Everyone looked back at those stone pillars, recalled what Shi Wuming said just now, and suddenly understood something.
Pei Qiyu said: "It seems that here, it's best not to say those two words."
"Which two? You mean Qi—" Seeing that the stone pillar closest to them was about to move again, Shi Wuming quickly swallowed the last word.
Sure enough, the place was indeed related to unicorns, and as long as the word "kilin" was mentioned, it would start to attack them as if some mechanism had been triggered.
After understanding this, everyone's hearts sank slightly, and they also had some guesses about this place.
At the end of the corridor is a tall palace gate.
There was a formation on the door as usual, and it took Ning Yuzhou another hour to untie the formation, and a group of people pushed the door in.
Imprinted into the eye is a tall humanoid statue.
They are like loyal guards, wearing armor and holding weapons, standing solemnly in the huge palace, leaving only a long passage for people to pass through.
Although it was a group of lifeless stone statues, for some reason, it gave people the illusion that the stone statues would suddenly move and attack.
A group of people walked over silently, observing the surroundings while walking.
This palace is also very large, and there are nearly one hundred thousand stone statues that are as tall as a human body, neatly arranged.
Ning Yuzhou's eyes fell on the armor on the stone statue, and he keenly revealed the clues on the armor, and said: "It seems that this should be the underground palace of Chiri Mountain Villa."
"Huh?" Everyone looked at him, not understanding how he got this answer.
Although they have also speculated, until now, they have not been able to find accurate evidence.
Ning Yuzhou pointed to the nearest stone statue and said, "Look at the inside of their armor, is there a sign of Chiri Mountain Villa?"
Everyone leaned over to check the inside of the arm and waist, and indeed found a very obscure mark.
The logo of Chiri Villa is a sun that drags the light of flames. This is what they discovered when they inspected Chiri Villa earlier. There are many places in the buildings of Chiri Villa with this pattern, which should be the external symbol of Chiri Villa.
It also proved that this place is indeed related to Chiri Mountain Villa, and then contacting the way they came in, maybe this is the underground palace of Chiri Mountain Villa.
The Chiri Villa on the ground is just a cover, this is the real Chiri Villa.
Perhaps it was before Chiri Villa closed the mountain gate, the owner of Chiri Villa hid the most important things of Chiri Villa here, and the outside was just something used to obscure the sight of the world.
At this time, Ning Yuzhou said again: "There is indeed a huge formation in this underground palace. With this formation, no matter what happens outside, Chiri Villa will not be destroyed."
So the recovery formation in Chiri Villa was also fed back from here.
A group of people couldn't help but click their tongues.
Many people saw that there was something wrong with Chiri Mountain Villa, and Zuo Yizhai and Wei Qianli also came here this time, but there were no people who could actually find it, and they were the first batch to come in.
Shi Wuming suddenly became ambitious: "It can be seen that this place is destined for us! Before those people find out, let's find out this place quickly."
With great enthusiasm, Shi Wu ordered to investigate everywhere, vowing to dig out the hidden secrets of Chiri Villa.
Compared with his activeness, Wen Qiao and the others were much calmer.
Su Molan turned around, moved closer to Wen Qiao, and sent her a voice transmission: [Miss Wen, Su Xing said that it felt the breath of an immortal weapon.]
Wen Qiao's heart moved, and she said with a little surprise: [Really? where?]
[Pleiades said that it is still a little far away from here, and there seems to be something guarding the place where the fairy artifact is located, covering the breath of the fairy artifact, making it impossible to determine the location of the fairy artifact.]
Something is guarding
Wen Qiao frowned, could it be the existence guarding the underground palace
After pondering for a moment, Wen Qiao told Ning Yuzhou the news.
Ning Yuzhou thought for a while and said, "It's okay, let's go and have a look together."
A group of people walked through the palace full of human-shaped stone statues.
Next, they passed through several palaces and corridors.
Without exception, there is a formation at the end of every door or passage, and there are many statues and pictures about unicorns, as if this place is occupied by unicorns.
Shi Wuming rubbed his chin, "It's so strange, is it possible that Chiri Mountain Villa enshrines divine beasts? Even if you worship divine beasts, you don't need to fill the place with its statues and portraits everywhere? Or is this place originally ruled by that thing, so Chiri The villa should be its territory, right?"
Because it cannot be called "Kirin" directly, people directly use "sacred beast" or "that thing" to describe it.
There is some truth to this speculation, but it is still unfounded.
After pushing open a door again, everyone was stunned when they saw the environment behind the door.
In addition to the big turntable at the entrance, the maze is beyond. There is a unicorn stone statue sitting there on every road, as if supervising all the people who enter the maze.
"It's kind of evil." Pei Qiyu whispered, "Do you really want to leave?"
Shi Wuming said: "Why don't you go? They all come here, there is no other way to go except this road."
Ever since they entered the underground palace, they have walked all the way. There is really only one way to go to the end. Whether it is the palace connecting the palace or the long corridor, there is only one way to pass through, and there is no other choice.
Ning Yuzhou said: "Let's go, let's take a look at the situation in this maze first."
They walked to the big turntable, and there was a huge unicorn stone statue squatting on the turntable. It squatted there majestically, looking down at the practitioners on the ground from a high position. I don't know if it's because the other party is a divine beast, everyone standing in front of it has the illusion of being a little shorter.
Cultivators who have not cultivated to the fairyland are all mortals, and mortals are indeed inferior to the natural majesty of divine beasts when facing divine beasts.
At this time, Wen Qiao stood up with the sword, her figure was at the same level as the head of the unicorn stone statue, and the eyes of each person and the stone statue met.
Wen Qiao tilted her head, looking at the stone statue's eyes without any brilliance.
Shi Wuming and the others looked at her in confusion, and hurriedly said, "Sister Aqiao, what are you looking at?"
Wen Qiao ignored them, but stretched out her hand, and her white, tender and beautiful fingers like green onions stretched out towards Qilin's head, gently landed on the head of the Qilin stone statue, and then touched it.
After touching it, Wen Qiao said, "It feels good."
Everyone: "..."
Until she fell to the ground again, Shi Wuming and the others looked at her without words.
"Sister Aqiao, if you touch it suddenly, you are not afraid that it will attack you?" Shi Wuming said worriedly.
Wen Qiao took it for granted: "I praised it for its beauty, but I didn't confront it. Why did it attack me?"
But is that thing accepted with a compliment
Shi Wuming did not believe in evil, so he also imitated Wen Qiao, flew over and touched a few times, but the big turntable suddenly moved, the Qilin stone statue turned around, and its buttocks bumped towards him, knocking him out.
Shi Wuming fell to the ground, yelled, and said unconvinced: "Why can't sister Aqiao touch it, but I can't? It's too biased!"
But no one answered it, the big turntable turned back, and the Qilin stone statue was still squatting there majestically.
Seeing this, Pei Qiyu and Su Molan already had some kind of speculation in their minds. Looking at Shi Wuming's unlucky situation, they were very grateful to him for taking the initiative to kill him, so that they could see the clues of this place.
Seeing that Shi Wuming risked his life to seek death, everyone's attitude towards him has improved a lot.
Wen Qiao gave him a panacea and said, "Stop screaming, let's go into the maze, maybe there will be good things when we get out of the maze."
Only then did Shi Wuming cheer up, put the elixir into his mouth, and said with a moved face: "Sister Aqiao is still cute, and she won't even hit you with this thing."
Wen Qiao glanced at him, and suddenly looked confident: "That's natural, who makes me pleasing."
Rao Shi Wuming has a thick skin and can't accept these words.
Although it is true, but if she said it—why would it make people feel unbalanced
