Chapter 140: Auspicious Encounter with Water! (2 updates seeking flowers)

  "Hmph! One-on-one? The black-robed man's voice came from the Black Crane's mouth, 'The Bushido spirit of my great Japan Empire is to achieve our goals by any means necessary. Why should I fight you one-on-one?'"

  "Trash." Wu Zhengxie disdainfully curled his lip, "I'll find you, see how you hide now, get lost."

  As they spoke, Wu Zhengye waved his hand and a burst of golden light erupted, the black-robed man's pupils constricted, and when the golden light dissipated and he looked again at where Wu Zhengye was standing, there was no longer any sign of him.

  "Sly and deceitful Chinese pig." The black-robed man's chest heaved violently a few times in front of the light screen, angrily cursing out loud, then waved his hand to extinguish the light screen. Suddenly, darkness descended, and it was no longer possible to see the shadow of the black-robed man.

  Wu Zhengxie's disappearance was naturally the result of using the Array of Decision. After he entered the gate, the Array of Decision was triggered, and his spiritual consciousness expanded to its maximum range for detection. The yin evil energy here was extremely thick, but there was less obstruction from the mountain wall, and the restrictions on his spiritual consciousness were much smaller. Under Wu Zhengxie's fully opened spiritual consciousness, he could also detect an area of over 80 meters in diameter.

  As he entered the gate and walked through a spacious passageway over twenty meters wide, then went down several steps, he suddenly stopped.

  In front of him was a small room-like empty space, the space was not large, about ten meters long and three meters wide, with huge stones sealing the walls on both sides. It looked like there was nothing strange about it, but Wu Zhengxie's spiritual sense detected that this place was extraordinary.

  To be exact, this place should be one of the many mechanisms inside the ancient tomb, and it's a very powerful mechanism.

  "It's not simple." Wu Zhengxie clicked his tongue, "Inside the stone walls on both sides, there are over a thousand poison arrows, and these poison arrows also have automatic resetting silk threads. On the ground, there are 356 earth-piercing spikes, each one extremely sharp. The most frightening thing is above, damn it, I don't know how people from several hundred years ago managed to put so much viscous toxic liquid up there, it's really impressive."

  The ancient tomb mechanism, according to the "Yong Meng Za Ji" narrative, all have their own way of breaking through. Now Wu Zhengye has the Ling Shi cheat device in hand, it should be very simple to find a way to break through or say survive, but he stood still for half a day and couldn't find which stone slab on the floor in front of him would not trigger the mechanism.

  And indeed, under his careful investigation, he discovered something unusual. "Could this be the second big meal that little Japanese devil sent to me?"

  The first big meal he knew was the three sharp arrows shot out when the stone gate opened, if Wu Zhengyi hadn't prepared in advance and dodged, otherwise, even if he triggered the Lin Zhi Decree to defend against the arrow's harm, he would still be blown back several steps by that terrifying impact force, and behind him was the Tian Ping Cheng mechanism.

  Once Wu Zhengyi fell into the deep abyss, the consequences were unthinkable.

  Several tens of meters deep pit bottom Li Ci is not to mention, even if the Dan Hun realm strong fear that want to succeed in living are difficult to add difficulty, even if he Wu Zhengxie escaped by luck, lived down, but after the automatic closure of the Tianping called mechanism reset, what should be done? Is it possible for him, Mr. Wu, to fly and escape?

  To be honest, Wu Zhengyi doesn't really have this ability yet.

  It can be said that the first killing formation at Shimen was indeed a bit too hasty, but the flaw was also extremely large. If Heihe hadn't appeared, it would have been fine, and Wu might have really had the possibility of being trapped to death in the deep pit by the first killing formation. But Heihe did appear, and with Wu Zhengxie's cunning and cleverness, he managed to escape this calamity successfully.

  At this moment, the seemingly ordinary place on the surface didn't have anything special about it, nor was there any abnormality. However, Wu Zhengyi dared not think that way because his spiritual awareness had probed beneath the entire floor and wordlessly discovered that every single floorboard was connected to a mechanism triggered by tripwires. As soon as Wu Zhengyi's foot landed on the floorboards, what would await him would be an endless barrage of various explosions.

  Hei Pao said that these few designs are indeed ingenious, and this is also the only way to enter the interior. Wu Zheng Xie wants to go in, he must pass through here.

  At first glance, the layout of this place is simple, just follow the nine palaces eight trigrams step method to walk and it's a safe path. The nine palaces eight trigrams step is actually quite easy, first you need to know how many steps to take for the first step, which can be inferred from the number of grid cells on the entire floor, then follow the frequency of three steps one five and you can pass through safely. But Wu Zhengxie, who has figured out everything, doesn't dare to mess around, all the floors have been installed with trigger devices, touching any floor tile will trigger the mechanism here.

  He acknowledged that with the Nine-Character True Words and Taiji True Intention, his strength was extremely formidable. Even if he really triggered the mechanism here, it wasn't impossible to succeed, but the cost would be too great. At the very least, his yuan force would lose dozens of drops.

  Would he, who has always been so petty, make such a choice?

  "That damned little Japanese devil, how poisonous his mind is!" Wu Zhengxie chuckled lightly and said, "Fortunately, Master Ben has a clever trick up his sleeve, otherwise he would have been left with nothing but shame."

  As they spoke, Wu Zhengyi took a deep breath, exerted force under his feet, and instantly sprang up, shooting to the left wall in front of him with an arrow step.

  Whoosh!

  He made another leap, turning his body and shooting onto the right wall again. With these two leaps, he had already traversed a distance of six meters. At this moment, he tapped the right wall once more, like a nimble cat, and instantly shot onto the left wall. Turning his body again, he leaped once more, this time landing directly on the open ground ten meters away.

  "Hmm!" He let out a soft breath, and Wu Zhengyi smiled slyly as he gazed at the empty space behind him, muttering to himself in satisfaction, "Heh heh, those damned little Japanese devils, setting up traps is too damn easy for you? You set them up on all the floors, but Master here just walks on walls. Let's see how your carefully laid traps work now!"

  With a triumphant smile, Wu Zhengxie turned around and looked at the stone gate in front of him. This stone gate was the same as the one he had first entered the ancient tomb with, and his spiritual sense had been greatly hindered by it. "Again, it's meteorites from outside the sky. Why did so many meteorites fall from the sky for no reason?"

  He cursed and subconsciously looked for the mechanism on the right lower side of the door, but after a glance, he was stunned, "Damn it, why is the mechanism of this broken door different from the one in front?"

  Not bad, there is no movable stone on the right lower side of this stone gate.

  He scratched his head and Wu Zheng said gloomily, "Can't that little Japanese devil come to guide the way again?"

  As they spoke, Wu Zhengyi's spiritual consciousness was exploring the floor and walls around the stone gate.

  "Huh, is this living stone that opens the door still here?" Wu Zhengyi's eyes lit up because he found that in front of the stone gate there was indeed a piece of living stone embedded in the floor, it just hadn't popped out yet.

  Along the track of the mechanism under the living stone, after a long time, he finally found the living stone that could make this stone bounce. The place where this living stone was located was indeed hidden, and it was actually on the wall two meters away from the left side of the stone gate. Moreover, there were some plants growing out of the cracks in the stone that covered it up tightly, and its surface was exactly the same as the wall, making it difficult for people to notice.

  Found the way to open the mechanism, Wu Zhengxie suddenly felt a thrill of excitement, and ran to the living stone on the wall with a whoop, turning it half a circle to the right according to the previous method.

  Crack!

  It really was, the living stone embedded in the floor in front of the stone gate slowly emerged.

  At this point, Wu Zhengyi was excited and couldn't help but admire the ingenuity of the mechanism.

  As soon as Wu Zhengxie arrived at the stone gate, he immediately stepped down with one foot. With his previous experience, after stepping on the living stone, he suddenly escaped to the left wall and hid.

  Crack! Crack! Creak!

  A burst of unpleasant sounds rose, which was the sound of the stone gate opening. Unexpectedly, after this time's stone gate opened, there were no sharp arrows shooting out from it, which wasted Wu Zhengxie's cleverness.

  However, at the same time that the stone gate opened, a three-meter-thick meteorite fell from the wall above, about ten meters in front of him, exactly where he had been standing and probing for mechanisms just before.

  Boom!

  A loud rumble, and it was a meteorite that fell from outside the sky, completely sealing off the passage and blocking all routes behind.

  Wu Zhengyi stared blankly at all of this, and in the moment when the meteorite fell from the sky, a bad premonition suddenly flashed through his heart.

  With a quick grab at the plants in front of him, a handful of green leaves suddenly appeared in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, Wu Zhengye frowned seriously as he watched the leaves fall to the ground one by one. According to the order in which they fell, three leaves formed a group, and three groups formed a hexagram.

  The first three leaves have fallen, yin and yang are intertwined, the hexagram is named Kan, representing water, indicating that what you are currently encountering is related to moisture or things with a watery surname. The three leaves have fallen again, in this space where one can't see their fingers when stretching out their hand, Wu Zhengyi's spiritual consciousness has clearly distinguished the order of the falling leaves.

  Bright and dim, the hexagram is named Li, the hexagram is related to fire. This hexagram is a warning sign, as water and fire do not mix, indicating that disaster will soon befall.

  The moment the second set of divination symbols appeared, Wu Zheng's eyelid twitched and his face turned even more solemn. His spiritual consciousness was focused on observing the third set of divination symbols after the leaves fell to the ground, because the third set of divination symbols was the key to breaking the code, and could be said to be a guide for survival.

  Finally, the third trigram appears, yin-yang-yin, named Kan, representing water. The three trigrams combine to form a hexagram, water-fire-water. Water and fire do not normally mix, but if water overcomes fire, the fire is extinguished and the water rises, flowing smoothly downward, encountering water auspiciously.

  "Encountering water brings auspiciousness." Wu Zhengxie let out a light breath, "Damn it, I thought this trip was doomed for sure, scared the hell out of me."

  He patted his chest and that guy's face suddenly showed that smug smile again, "Will I encounter something related to water? What exactly will it be?"

  As he pondered, Wu Zhengyi slowly walked towards the already open gate.
