Death to trespassers?
Ye Qiu was shocked when he saw these four words.
He was a doctor, and with one glance, he recognised that these four words were written in blood, and because of the long age, the blood had turned dark red with a slight brownish tinge.
Moreover, he also realised that these four words were carved directly onto the stone tablet with someone’s fingers.
How much internal strength did this require?
It was evident that the person who carved these four words on the stone tablet must be a super expert.
Ye Qiu turned to the reverse side of the stone monument to take another look, only to see that the reverse side of the stone monument was blank, not a single word.
Ye Qiu couldn’t help but wonder, what was this place?
What was behind the stone door?
He looked up at the stone door, hesitated for three seconds, walked up to the door, activated the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Skill, and concentrated his entire body’s strength on his arms, before pushing hard and violently.
“Open!”
Ye Qiu let out a loud shout, and even used all his strength, however, the stone door did not move.
“It seems that it can’t be pushed with brute force, so I guess this stone door must have a mechanism.”
Ye Qiu began to search carefully on the stone door.
There was nothing else on the stone door except for two copper rings.
Ye Qiu had no choice but to open his Heavenly Eyes, wanting to try to see if he could find some clues with his Heavenly Eyes.
But to his surprise, the Heavenly Eyes failed, and his sight could not penetrate the stone door.
“Strange, isn’t it just an ordinary stone door, how come the Heavenly Eye can’t penetrate it?”
With no choice, Ye Qiu grabbed one of the copper rings on the door and knocked hard three times.
“Dang-dang-dang.”
Rumble!
There was a loud bang.
Followed by that, the stone door slowly opened, and a dusty, mouldy smell hit his face.
Ye Qiu clenched his fists tightly, carefully on guard in case there was danger coming.
A moment later, the stone door opened completely.
Ye Qiu opened his Heavenly Eyes and looked inside, it was a passageway that was about a metre wide.
The passageway was made of green stone and was ancient and solemn.
Ye Qiu took a step forward and stood at the doorway before his eyes swept around to make sure that no danger was present before he carefully stepped into the passageway.
On the walls on both sides of the passage, there was a clear oil lamp placed every half a metre.
Ye Qiu immediately drew a flame talisman, and with a flick of his finger, he instantly lit a clear oil lamp.
At that moment, with a “ooh”, all the oil lamps inside the passageway were lit up.
What?
Ye Qiu immediately stopped and looked around again.
“Strange, I only lit one lamp, why are the other lamps also lit up?”
This place was full of weirdness.
Ye Qiu didn’t dare to be careless and clenched his fists tightly before taking small steps towards the inside of the passage.
One step, two steps, three steps, four steps
Five steps!
Suddenly, Ye Qiu stopped his steps again.
It was because he noticed that on the walls on both sides, there were many strange murals carved.
He looked carefully for a while.
Eventually, he was sure that what was carved on the walls was the Hundred Images of Hell, with the Ten Temples of Hell, the Black and White Irregulars, the Ox-Head and Horse-Face, as well as the Bridge of Naihe, the Yellow Springs Road, and the Mona’s Soup.
Every character was alive and every scene was lifelike.
Ye Qiu watched the murals while walking forward, and without realising it, he walked for nearly ten minutes.
In front of him, another stone door appeared.
This stone door was not big, about three metres high and one metre wide, and it was covered with thick dust.
Again, there were two copper rings on top of the stone door.
With his previous experience, Ye Qiu didn’t think too much about it, grabbed the copper rings and was about to knock, when suddenly –
He noticed that next to the copper rings, there were words engraved, only that they were covered by dust and couldn’t be seen clearly.
Ye Qiu quickly wiped the dust off the door.
Instantly, a pattern appeared in his sight.
Fixing his eyes on it.
“This is a rune!”
Ye Qiu was greatly surprised and stared at the rune on the door for a while, but he could not identify it.
Then, he saw that there were four small words engraved next to the rune – Death to Trespassers!
The handwriting was exactly the same as the handwriting on the stone monument outside, including the talisman, which was carved by the same person with his finger.
Ye Qiu couldn’t help but be a little curious as to what kind of person it was. Why did he leave the rune here?
The most incredible thing was that he had never seen this talisman before.
He had to know that Ye Qiu had cultivated many runes since he obtained the inheritance of the Ye Family’s old ancestor, and there were many other runes that he was familiar with even though he had not cultivated them, but this rune in front of him was nothing but unfamiliar.
“This person who left his handwriting on the door, not only is he a super expert with high cultivation, he is also proficient in runes, he should not be a nameless person, who the hell is he?”
Ye Qiu didn’t think much and knocked on the bronze ring.
“Dang-dang-dang.”
After the copper ring rang three times, with a “rumble”, the stone door slowly opened.
In the next second, Ye Qiu’s eyes widened violently, thinking that he had misread it.
“I shouldn’t be dreaming, right?”Ye Qiu rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked forward again, the result was still the same.
“What the hell is this place? Why is it so strange?”
Ye Qiu felt incredible.
At this moment, inside the stone door, was a huge peach forest.
Peach blossoms were in bloom and the aroma was overwhelming.
There were also tens of thousands of fireflies dancing between the flowers, setting the place off like a fairyland.
According to reason, at this season, the peach blossoms had long faded, but the peach blossoms here were blooming in full bloom.
Ye Qiu frowned.
“The position I’m in now, should be under the Gobi, there’s no water source here, why can the peach blossoms grow?”
“Even if it can grow, with the geography of the Gobi, it wouldn’t bloom this season.”
“This place is not right.”
Ye Qiu was very careful and didn’t rush into the peach forest, but instead opened his Heavenly Eyes once again and glanced towards the peach forest.
What shocked him was that there was no abnormality present, the peach blossoms and peach trees were real.
“Could it be that this place is a Feng Shui treasure?”
Ye Qiu withdrew his gaze and stepped into the peach forest, and after only three steps, he felt as if the peach trees in front of him were moving, making him dizzy.
“Not good, this is a formation.”
Ye Qiu immediately stood still and used his Heavenly Eyes again, observing for a while, and gradually, a wisp of a smile floated up from the corner of his mouth.
“So it’s the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation, fortunately I know a little bit about formations, otherwise I’m afraid I won’t be able to walk out of here in this lifetime.”
The Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation, in folklore, was called the Five Elements Formation or the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation, and it also had a resounding name – the Eight Formation Diagram!
This kind of formation appeared during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, and was mainly used for marching formations, and in the Three Kingdoms Period, the Nine Palace and Eight Trigrams Formation was wielded by Zhuge Liang to its fullest extent, and was known to all the world.
Poet Du Fu had a poem as proof:
The work cover three countries, the name into eight formations.
The river flow stone does not turn, hate lost swallowed Wu.
It was a pity that although the Nine Palace Bagua Formation was powerful, the inheritance Ye Qiu received from the Ye Family’s old ancestor had the Five Elements Bagua and the Strange Doors and Transported Armours, so he quickly found the door to life.
Then, striding forward to the west.
After only forty to fifty steps, he managed to walk out of the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation, and another stone door appeared in front of him.
This stone door was the same as the second stone door, about three metres high and one metre wide, with two copper rings on the door, which were also engraved with a talisman and the words “Trespassers die”.
Ye Qiu knocked on the copper rings, the stone door slowly opened, and a cold aura spread out from inside.
In the next second, Ye Qiu only felt creepy.
