Chapter 221 Night Detective Agency

Gu Qingyan and Linrui came all the way to the back mountain. Just as they were about to walk forward, Gu Qingyan suddenly stopped and whispered: "You can't move forward at will."

Lin Rui looked at the road in front of him and saw a forest before walking. The road was not narrow, but it was not open anymore. He was not very familiar with both roads, so he could no longer move forward rashly.

They looked around and looked at each other, and then they followed the path and searched the forest.

Lin Rui felt something was wrong as he walked. This path seemed to be built around the forest. It was not too wide or too little. It kept a specific distance from the forest.

After stopping, Lin Rui found a corner that seemed to be turning right, stood there, then looked around, and suddenly his eyes were locked at an intersection not far away that broke out from the path and happened to be connected to the woods.

I walked a few steps and looked at the other end of the road that was extending out. It was pitch black. I could not sense anything except the sparse sound of insects.

The tense feeling in his heart did not relax, but became more and more nervous. He walked forward a few more steps when he saw the second road appearing in front of him, his hand holding the sword tightened even more.

At the same time, if you look down from the sky, you will see that Gu Qingyan is located exactly symmetrical to Linrui’s position.

Gu Qingyan's face was not very good. She realized that this forest was not as simple as the mechanism formation they had imagined before. When Bai Shu repaired the mechanism formation, he probably directly re-planned the formation and formation.

But now on the flat ground, she couldn't determine what element Bai Shu used.

Just in the four directions or the five elements, Gu Qingyan can still be very sure. If something happens, he can rush in without any scruples.

But what she was worried about was that Bai Shu didn't care about the four directions at all, but used more complex or superimposed formations. If this was true, then no one would lead the way, and I was afraid that it would be easy to go without going back.

Gu Qingyan stopped walking forward, turned around and walked along the path and saw what she would see later. What she wanted to understand most now was where and what was this formation.

There is a connection between hidden weapons, poison, and mechanism techniques, but they are not of the same clan and origin. Therefore, even though Gu Qingyan is proficient in universal poison and hidden weapons, he only knows the basics of the mechanism techniques.

Can she solve the poison in the mechanism and hidden weapons, but what about the others? Will there be other ones?

She walked back all the way, thinking all the way, and then she came back to her senses until she collided with Lin Rui: "Senior Brother."

Gu Qingyan was called Linrui with Han Yan's name.

"Miss Four, how are you doing?"

Linrui is also called Gu Qingyan, the other disciples of Sui's villa.

Gu Qingyan raised her eyes and saw Lin Rui's expression similar to hers. She took a breath, opened her mouth and before she could speak, she felt the breath of a third person besides him.

Obviously, Lin Rui also noticed it, and immediately pointed to the short grass beside him, and dodged with Gu Qingyan.

Not long after, a gray figure stepped back from the direction approaching the forest. The man staggered, but the sound of landing was still very light. He stood firm and slowed down before he patted his clothes.

Looking at his figure and movements, unlike Xingchuan, Gu Qingyan shook his head at Linrui.

Perhaps the man held his breath and calmed down his breath, and soon discovered something was wrong. In the blink of an eye, Gu Qingyan and Lin Rui in the grass saw a sword light pounced on him.

The two of them simply couldn't hide, and turned over and came out of the grass. Gu Qingyan was faster and took the lead in fighting with the man in gray.

When the man in gray saw that the two of them were dodging his sword, he immediately turned his wrists and flipped them in the air. While Gu Qingyan pulled out the whip from his waist, the sword tip straight towards Gu Qingyan.

Gu Qingyan held the whip and hid sideways, and stepped lightly to the side of the man in gray, and his figure instantly passed by.

When the man put away his sword and turned around, Gu Qingyan was already behind him, and a whip fell down and hit him on the toes.

The whip was particularly crisp and loud, alarming the birds that were originally asleep in the forest.

"Fourth Miss?"

"Young Master Yun?"

Just as the two of them were clamping each other, because the distance was closer, they finally saw each other's face clearly and spoke in unison.

"Why are you here?"

One of them took the whip and let go of the sword she was entangled.

One of them inserted his sword back into the scabbard, looked at the two people in front of him, and replied: "My people found out that Bai Shu had repaired the mechanism, so I thought about coming and taking a look."

Gu Qingyan nodded. After all, the people of the Su family in Nanling are not just a soft-hearted person, and it is not uncommon to find out about these things.

After looking behind Yun Jichen, Lin Rui asked, "Young Master Yun came here by himself?"

Yun Jichen nodded, but he did not say the reason. He had been used to walking alone in the world over the years and acted alone in a subconscious manner.

"Then are you coming out of it?" Gu Qingyan asked.

Yun Jichen sighed helplessly: "No, I wanted to go in and take a look, but when I saw the strange road outside, I stopped. I didn't know why I accidentally touched something, and rows of needles emerged from the ground."

As he said that, Yun Jichen raised his foot and looked at his shoes and corners. Fortunately, there was no damage and no trace left.

"You must have come to know the news about the mechanism array, right?" Yun Jichen asked.

Gu Qingyan nodded. It seemed that Yun Jichen couldn't find anything, so he was destined to be fruitless tonight?

She was thinking, and her eyes searched for any commanding heights nearby to see the general shape of this mechanism array.

Lin Rui and Yun Jichen went to see the place where Yun Jichen almost had an accident just now.

After a while, Lin Rui returned to Gu Qingyan with a thin silver needle with a handkerchief.

"Fourth Girl."

Gu Qingyan took it with the flow. The silver needle was very thin. He couldn't find it if he didn't stare at this wilderness forest. No wonder Yun Jichen staggered in a panic just now.

Thousands of such needles were about to pierce into their feet... Hiss. The three of them felt pain just thinking about it.

"Not to mention using such needles as a mechanism, there are not many people who can create such needles, but..."

Gu Qingyan remembered a small sect a long time ago, which specialized in using homemade extremely thin and extremely small hidden weapons to walk around the world. It was very similar to this needle, but the sect was not large in scale and had average reputation. There has been no news about them in the world for many years.

"Who Bai Shu asked for help on that day is still a mystery." Yun Jichen said in a deep voice.

After hearing Yun Jichen's words, Gu Qingyan was a little confused. She could not guess the purpose of Yun Jichen bringing the Su family before. If you say that it was to show his recognized identity, then his purpose had been achieved.

But he seemed to be involved in everything, so from this moment, Gu Qingyan was obviously alert.

She didn't take Yun Jichen's words, but pointed to a place diagonally above the three of them and said, "Since you're here, let's see if you can figure out what formation this is."

Lin Rui and Yun Jichen looked in the direction Gu Qingyan pointed, which were several big trees not far from the path they were now. Although the height could not completely overlook the entire forest, it was always better than in vain on the floor.

Lin Rui nodded. That should be the only commanding heights that will not alarm any hidden weapons.

So the three of them jumped forward and backward, each looking down at the quiet forest from the high branches at three points.

The forest was deliberately repaired and could be easily seen when it was high. Gu Qingyan counted silently.

One, two, three, four...

There were eight parts in total, and there was a prototype in her mind.

At this time, Yun Jichen gestured at her not far away, signaling her to see the direction of each concave surface of the forest.

Gu Qingyan looked and found that each concave surface was surrounding in one direction, as if supporting something, but there was a circle of trees just blocking their sight and unable to see clearly.

Gu Qingyan suddenly had a bold idea, flew with his light skills, skipped straight through the woods, and finally stopped on the top of a tree tree with branches emerging from the forest.

Lin Rui was worried when he saw this action, not for anything else, but for fear that Gu Qingyan would suddenly touch some unknown mechanism.

It was not until I saw Gu Qingyan's stable appearance that I felt relieved.

Gu Qingyan didn't have time to think about anything else at this moment, because there was something she cared about in front of her.

The inner exits of these forests face a vacant land. At the front and outermost of the vacant land, stone pillars carved with statues stand at a certain arc at the same distance.

After going in, I inserted another circle of stone pillars slightly shorter than the previous circle, and then I went in another circle...

This made three circles.

There is a high and raised round arched arc top at the north and south of each. Due to the angle issue, Gu Qingyan could not see whether there was a door, but she could conclude that this should be the sword tomb.

But why are there two sword tombs?

After roughly remembering the location of the scene in front of her, Gu Qingyan jumped up with her light skills and returned to the ground outside. She saw that Lin Rui had returned to the ground, but Yun Jichen could not be seen.

"Where are others?"

Lin Rui pointed to the top. Yun Jichen seemed to have suddenly seen something not long after Gu Qingyan passed by, and then he was thinking about it.

Lin Rui was different. His perspective was very clear about the distribution of the path, so after looking at it for a while, he came down and walked around as he saw it, and he had already had a rough idea in his heart.

He roughly said to Gu Qingyan so that Gu Qingyan could connect what the two saw, but Gu Qingyan didn't understand the meaning of those stone pillars, so he always felt that there was something vacant.

When Yun Jichen came over, he looked solemn, looked at Gu Qingyan for a long time, and asked: "Does the Fourth Girl understand gossip?"

Gu Qingyan was stunned and shook her head, but when Yun Jichen talked about gossip, she suddenly realized.

Before, all the stone pillars were focused on the statues, thinking that what does the statue mean? Now it seems that the direction and arrangement of the stone pillars are more like the Tai Chi diagram of the Bagua. Isn’t the location of the sword tomb exactly what Yin and Yang?

The arrangement of eight woods, the layout of Tai Chi diagrams, and the various forks of this path...

The three of them looked very good.

The Bagua Formation was first used as a killing formation that could be used on the battlefield. It consumes too much and requires cooperation from people, so it is not commonly used. If the Bagua Formation is used in the martial arts world, it is rarely heard of, but I didn’t expect that Bai Shu repaired one here.

"No." Gu Qingyan suddenly spoke, "Maybe he just used his appearance to confuse others, and his inner body was still a regular mechanism."
