This is a narrow wooden staircase leading underground.

The wooden board was black on the outside, almost blending in with the darkness. It looked like it was at least a few hundred years old.

The old man would walk here at night and then disappear.

After all, it was a private residence. Out of politeness, Song Ruhai and the others had never entered it.

But this rule is obviously inconsistent with Gou Pig.

He is a thief.

Gouzhu walked down slowly. Even if his qinggong was good, the wood would inevitably make a creaking sound - they were too old.

Sure enough, there is a faint white spiritual light at the end. It is this light that is emitted from here and reflected in the wooden house, so it has the faint brightness of the wooden house.

Behind the dim light at the end is a simple wooden door. More light shines through the cracks in the door, and there is a rustling sound, as if the old man is rubbing the wood.

"This old man is still grinding wood late at night. He is really hardworking." Gou Zhu touched his chin and praised the old man very much.

Gouzhu wanted to get close to the crack of the door and take a look, but before his face even touched the crack of the door, he was blocked by the white spiritual light.

Obviously this is just an ordinary blocking restriction, which is different from the killing restrictions arranged in the Xuanmen Jianghu that will cause injury or detonate if touched.

This restriction is just a door lock and does not hurt anyone.

"Restricted lock?" Gouzhu smiled slightly and tilted his head to figure it out, "It's interesting."

Gouzhu pushed gently with his hand, only to feel that the light and shadow revealed an extremely powerful repulsive force, which prevented him from moving forward at all. As soon as he retracted his hand, this force disappeared.

He is interested in all locks, which is a thief's instinct.

He was only afraid of the restrictions in Xuanmen that could hurt him, but this "lock" that only prevented him from passing through made him very excited.

Trying to open this lock takes a lot of time, but it's worth the try.

If a person has something secret that he doesn't want others to know, then he has a weakness and can be controlled.

The goal of Hooking the Pig is very simple. As long as you find the old man's weakness, you will have a way to cross the bridge.

Gouzhu smiled slightly.

The next day, all five bridges were destroyed.

Naturally, it is Gouzhu's masterpiece.

This is not difficult, just cut all the ropes at the end of the bridge.

Song Ruhai and others no longer entered the level, and stayed at the edge of the canyon to meditate and practice on their own.

The old man walked to the edge of the canyon for a while, with a look of surprise in his eyes. Then he obediently took the hatchet and went to the woods to cut vine knots and ropes.

Repairing all five bridges is not an easy task and will take several days.

The usually busy wooden house was empty.

Gouzhu sat in front of the ban he met at night.

This old man was really careful. It didn’t matter if there was a restriction, he actually put another lock on it!

What's the use of a lock against these Xuanmen monks?

In fact, the more fragile thing is the wooden door.

The stronger man kicked the wooden door open.

The old man's lock was probably just symbolic. His idea was probably: This is my private space, and polite people who hang out here should not break in rashly.

As long as there is a lock, Hook Pig's theft disease will become more severe, and it will be eaten by hundreds of insects.

But first we have to break through this restriction.

He could not feel the other party's state at all. He could only feel that this layer of restriction was indestructible, far exceeding the hardness of iron plates or granite. This kind of restriction could never be set up by a person of his level.

With a slight touch, Gouzhu could feel the majestic Qi on this restriction.

But to activate a ban, only a small amount of infuriating energy is needed.

It's like a lock can be heavy, but the key is always light.

The premise is to master the correct opening method. Any true qi is condensed by the manipulation of yin and yang by monks. This kind of restriction always has subtle keyholes. As long as the yin and yang are properly combined to open, people can

Can pass.

It's just that the so-called appropriate combination is easier said than done.

Like a thief picking a lock.

/>It is necessary to constantly change the bending shape of the copper wire to test the correct combination required for the keyhole.

It takes patience, experience and time.

Gouzhu felt that the same was true for things like prohibition. It was necessary to carefully condense various combinations of infuriating energy. Only a very small amount was needed, and the reaction of the prohibition was patiently tested.

Fortunately, this restriction is extremely quiet and strong, and is not the kind of active and violent restriction. Otherwise, if the test goes wrong, it will explode and kill you on the spot.

After all, it was Gouzhu's first time to use the lock-picking method to open the restriction. He lacked experience and tried for several hours before he gradually figured out some ways.

Fortunately, the old man rushed between the woods and the canyon, occasionally only picking up some wood at the door of the wooden house, and did not interfere with the pig hooking at all.

"Today's young people are becoming more and more unruly."

Seeing the damaged state of those rope bridges, the old man kept murmuring.

The restriction has blocked Gouzhu for four full hours.

Gouzhu was still standing in front of the simple wooden door.

It had never taken him so long to open a lock.

Gouzhu carefully controlled the energy in his palms.

In something as ingenious as the restriction, the condensed true energy does not disperse and disappear in the air as usual, but is fixed in the space with some ingenious arrangement - Taoism calls it a barrier.

The barrier is not a rootless thing in the void, but is attached to this wooden door, or even the entire wooden house. Something contained in these woods resonates with the barrier in the void, and thus

interdependent.

Gouzhu heard the Taoist lecture on "Xuanmen Jie Zhen", referred to as Xuan Jie Zhen.

Each Xuanmen technique can correspond to a formation.

The restriction here is a miniature wooden formation.

This knowledge, which was completely hypnotic in class, suddenly became vivid now, arousing his endless interest.

For the first time, Gouzhu felt the vibration of spirit particles caused by the cleverly set barrier. This vibration was like a string that bounced back repeatedly in space. As long as it was not detonated, this vibration would never stop.

When external infuriating energy enters, most of it will be directly bounced back. Only an extremely rare and wonderful combination can enter smoothly and open a temporary passage in this sealed space barrier.

Just like a key opening a lock.

Gouzhu felt the changes in the barrier with his whole body. He didn't know how long it had passed, and Gouzhu himself had forgotten the time. Even the sky was getting a little dark, but it was not dark yet.

As long as it's not dark yet, the old man will not come back. Gouzhu comforted himself in this way while continuing to experiment excitedly.

He had not felt such concentration and devotion for many years. It was as if all the sounds and sights in the world had disappeared in front of him, and all he could see in his eyes was the vibration of the spirit children.

These spirit particles are not spheres or point-shaped things, but the space vibrates in a way like the fluctuation of strings.

Different frequencies form different spirit sons - according to "The Mystery of All Things in Xuanmen", there are a total of sixty-four kinds of spirit sons, that is, sixty-four kinds of vibrations.

All things are composed of these spirit sons. Space is like a wavering and boiling ocean. Spirit sons are generated and annihilated in the space one by one, creating something out of nothing, and changing into nothing out of something, forever.

Xuanmen monks explore the laws of movement of these spirit sons and transform them into true energy controlled by themselves.

The true energy has controlled these spirits and set up a restriction on this simple wooden door, just like there is a curtain with wavy spirits in front of you. It seems thin, but it can't get through no matter what.

Gou Zhu suddenly realized.

He even felt that if he had enough energy, he could also arrange such a restriction.

But compared to the person who set up the ban, his energy is just a drop in the bucket. It is estimated that even if he sets up such a ban, others may directly destroy it with violence.

But now, no matter how impregnable the restriction in front of him is, he has mastered the way to find the key.

A "click" sound...

This sweet sound does not exist,

It only rang in Gouzhu's heart.

Just like this, it also made Gouzhu so excited that his whole body trembled.

opened!

The prohibition placed by the immortal can be opened using a method similar to that of opening a lock!

Not too many things are needed to open these restrictions: a certain amount of Qi, exquisite control, and enough patience.

Of course, with experience, he will be faster.

In the future, he may even set up some mysterious formations by himself. However, the setting up of such restrictions is very complicated. Without the guidance of special formation secrets, he may only be able to make some of the simplest designs.
