Chapter 656: Ghostly Walls?

fore we have a proper duel."Their eyes met, a silent battle waged in the blink of an eye. The once close brothers now stood on opposite sides, divided by one woman and poised for a bitter feud."Good!..."Remember what I said, we don't need to be so polite between us. Another thank you and I..." Qiantongxuan wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when nobody was looking for a quick kiss, but Xiao Yuge suddenly grabbed his arm and stopped him. 。"What's wrong" He seemed to have also noticed something 。"Something's not right!" Xiao Yuge stopped, and He Ming and the others followed suit. 。"That's not right, we've been walking for almost half an hour now. Logically, we should be near the edge of this forest by now, but it seems like we're still in the middle of it." 。"Even the crane's cry was accompanied by a furrowed brow." 。On the side, Princess Yin Yue instinctively took his arm when she heard this. He stroked her hand, silently comforting her: "With me here, don't be afraid!" "Little Uncle Emperor, what's wrong" Even though Qian Si Chen was injured, after being treated by He Crane, he wouldn't die. Of course, he wouldn't tell anyone that the injury was self-inflicted. His face was pale, but his spirit looked pretty good. 。Let everyone rest in place for a bit. 。Qian Tingxuan knew there was something strange in the forest, and now he couldn't just wander around. He had to figure it out before doing anything else. 。“Look, that’s the crow I just knocked down!” Xiao Yuge was surprised to find that the crow she had casually knocked down when she first entered was right there. That is to say, after they had walked for nearly half an hour, they were back where they started. 。"Look, that's the corner of my clothes that got caught when I first came in." 。The Silver Princess pointed to a small strip of cloth on one of the thorns. 。"Could it be that we've traveled this long only to end up back where we started" It was then that everyone realized something was amiss. 。"This forest feels a bit eerie, everyone be careful and protect His Royal Highness!" Ling Tian instructed the few remaining guards beside him to watch over Qian Si Chen and Xiao Yu Fu. 。"This can't be the legendary ghost hitting the wall, can it I heard from the old ladies in the palace that once you encounter a ghost hitting the wall, you'll never get out for the rest of your life." 。At this moment, Qingni was so frightened that she suddenly blurted out these words, which further brought out a terrifying atmosphere. 。"Nizi, don't talk nonsense!" Princess Yinyue glared at her. 。Qingni was so frightened that she swallowed the rest of her words and trembled as she followed Princess YinYue. 。

Qian Tingxuan looked around, took a few steps in each direction, and then returned to his original position. However, Xiao Yuge and the others were surprised to find that wherever Qian Tingxuan went, the trees seemed to change slightly.

"No way, these trees have come to life They can actually run Did you all see that Am I seeing things" Princess Silvermoon had never travelled the Jianghu before, and her knowledge of its martial arts was limited. Naturally, she didn't understand... 。"It's not your eyes playing tricks on you, this is an array. If I'm not mistaken, it's an illusionary array, using trees as soldiers and the whole forest as its formation. And we are trapped within the array." 。"The crane instinctively pulled her to his side." 。“Senior brother, since you know this is an illusionary formation, you must also know the solution, right” Xiao Yuge felt that there was something strange about this forest, making her feel restless and out of control. Just now, if it hadn't been for Qian Tingxuan, she was afraid that she would have to exert a lot of effort to suppress it. She didn't want to be trapped here forever. 。"I am truly ashamed. Although I know this formation, I do not know how to break it." 。He shook his head helplessly. "Hè Míng was a skilled doctor, not an expert in formations. Just knowing something doesn't mean you can break it." 。 "The Illusionary Formation, also known as the Five Elements Formation, I have seen it mentioned in military books. As long as you find the directions of the Five Elements and walk according to their positions, you can walk out. However, there should be many traps inside. Once you step into breaking the formation, if you take one wrong step, you will trigger a trap." 。At this moment, Qian Si Chen said something. 。Xiao Yu Ge narrowed her eyes, she didn't expect this dead scumbag to actually know this 。Only listening to Qian Si Chen continue, “The Five Elements refer to gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. East is wood, south is fire, center is earth, west is gold, north is water. As long as we walk according to these five directions, we can get out of this formation.” 。Therefore, under his arrangement, everyone was divided into five groups and prepared to go in each direction. 。"Wait a minute" 。At that moment, Qian Tingxuan called out to everyone. Everyone's hearts were in their throats, and when he suddenly called out like that, they almost jumped out of their skins. 。"Si Chen, are the Five Elements directions reversed" At this moment, Qian TingXuan asked in a deep voice. 。"Little Imperial Uncle, why do you ask this" Qian Si Chen looked puzzled, but still explained: "The Five Elements and directions are derived from the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams. The Nine Palaces correspond to nine directions, and each direction of the Eight Trigrams is assigned a different attribute of the Five Elements. Therefore, the Five Elements and directions are exactly opposite to geographical directions." 。" If that's the case, those moving trees should move in the opposite direction as we walk, but did you notice that just now Those trees moved in the same direction as we walked. " 。"I understand " 。At this moment, He cried out in realization: "This is a reversed Five Elements Array! Someone deliberately set it up this way!" 。Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, for if they had walked the normal path just now, they would have either been shot by arrows or fallen into a trap. 。Xiao Yu Ge proudly lifted her eyes to look at Qian Ting Xuan: the man she chose was indeed observant, otherwise, if everyone had walked a few more steps forward, they would all be dead! And Qian Si Chen also happened to look at her. Seeing the way she looked at Qian Ting Xuan, he pursed his lips tightly, and unconsciously clenched his hand. 。After rearranging themselves, everyone stood in their assigned positions and began walking in the opposite direction. Everyone was on high alert because they knew that if anyone triggered a mechanism, the consequences would be dire. 。Although everyone was very careful, the group led by He Ming still had a problem. No one knew who moved behind them and what they had touched. Only a cracking sound!Numerous sharpened wooden sticks flew from all around and stabbed towards them!"Miss, be careful!" Qing Ni instinctively stood in front of Princess Yin Yue, while He Ming directly hugged Princess Yin Yue and rolled to the ground. Almost at the same time, Qing Ni seemed to jump aside in panic!This time, they happened to touch the mechanism next to them. A sharp spike fell straight down from above. If it hadn't been for Qian Ting Xuan's timely rescue, Qian Si Chen and the others would probably have been pierced into a sieve!Qing Ni seemed frightened out of her wits and was about to run away again. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Xiao Yu Ge threw out a flying needle with medicine on it. As soon as it hit Qing Ni, she fell softly there. 。"Take her away!" Even though Qian Si Chen was still shaken, he didn't hesitate. He signaled to the guards beside him to help Qing Ni up and take her away. 。Although it was dangerous just now, everyone finally walked out of the forest. Looking back, they still felt a lingering fear. 。Some merchants traveled back and forth to the capital city, and in order to shorten their journey, they usually took this road. It was impossible to leave such a safety hazard here; this formation had to be destroyed! Xiao Yuge cursed the person who set up the formation in her heart. Their thoughts were so vicious. If the people who came in weren't them, but ordinary commoners who couldn't do anything, wouldn't they be trapped or killed heredoesn’t mean much to you, but An’er is my everything. Since heaven and you don't help him, then I, the chosen daughter of destiny, will help him. What if An’er gets the blessing of the chosen daughter...
