61.

Zi You continued to walk and look, and from time to time, he seemed to be calculating something. This made Chu Ming and Xue Bailing extremely embarrassed, and they could only follow him around and take a few steps.

While walking, Zi You stopped and frowned, muttering to himself, "Impossible, how could this be ?"

Chu Ming wanted to ask, but Zi You saw through his thoughts. He raised his hand to stop Chu Ming, so Chu Ming had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

After walking for a while, Zi You turned around and said to Chu Ming, "This represents the sky, the earth, the water, the water, the fire, the thunder, the gong, the wind, and the bog. After that, the gossip will be matched with sixty-four divinities. However, the gossip here cannot be matched with sixty-four divinities, how strange, this is too strange!"

Chu Ming didn't understand anything and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Xue Bailing, who was standing to the side, noticed that Zi You had lost his usual calmness, so he whispered into Chu Ming's ears, "Could this scholar be crazy?"

Chu Ming shushed her and said, "Don't speak nonsense. Brother Zi You is such a person. We should just wait."

Just as he finished speaking, Zi You muttered, "The elements are yin and yang, heaven and earth, day and night, male and female, the Four Symbols are Shaoyang, Shaoyang, Lunar, and Sun, corresponding to the Four Directions, Four Seasons, Four Seasons, and Four Appearances. This formation is based on gossip, yet it rejects all logic. Isn't this the Mysterious Gate Eight Trigrams Formation? "

When Chu Ming heard this, his hair stood on end. He didn't know what these scholars were planning.

Zi You suddenly sighed. "Qian Nan is fifteen meters a house, North Kun is thirteen meters a house, and East is only sixty meters?" If it is replaced by Innate Eight Trigrams, take one, take two, take three, take four, take five, take six, take seven, and take eight. If it is replaced by Innate Eight Trigrams, take one, take two, take three, take four, take five, take six, take seven, take eight, take nine.

Xue Bailing felt that the person in front of him was about to go berserk.

Chu Ming could only say, "Brother Zi You?"

Zi You was stunned. He turned around to look at Chu Ming and said, "Both of you are at ease. Zi You are fine, it's just that you have a strange habit of becoming like this whenever you encounter some difficult problems. Please forgive me."

Chu Ming said, "It's been hard on you, Brother Zi You."

Zi You waved his hand, turned around and continued with his calculations.

After roughly another two hours, Zi You seemed to finally bear a heavy responsibility. He laughed and said, "Hahaha, I didn't expect there to be such an expert in this world. I really want to meet the person who set up this formation."

Finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Chu Ming, "Zi You has already been unraveled. Thirty steps forward is the formation, and it can be said to be the fifth palace. It is also the essence of this formation. We just need to turn from the formation to the north, then to the east, then to the south, and we will be able to leave!"

Both of them were surprised: "Only 60 steps?"

Zi You nodded, "That's right. Don't look at the fact that this is only sixty steps. If you don't walk properly, you won't be able to leave. Please follow me."

The two of them followed closely, and after walking thirty steps, they walked towards the south. After walking thirty steps, both Xue Bailing and Chu Ming couldn't help but admire him. After walking for sixty steps, a new path appeared in front of them.

Zi You smiled and said, "There are many strange formations in this world, but they can be said to be the one that gives Zi You the greatest headache. It was a worthwhile trip!"

Chu Ming smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Hundred Spirit and I would be trapped here for no less than 10 miles after walking only 60 steps. I'm so ashamed!"

Zi You shook his head and said, "If we don't understand the theory of gossip, it will be extremely difficult to walk out. We don't know where the great road before us leads to. We still have business to attend to."

The two of them nodded and followed Zi You onto the main road.

The three of them walked along this path for a good half an hour before they finally saw a huge house. The house was brightly lit and a few figures could be seen through the paper windows.

Zi You made a silent gesture towards Xue Bailing and Chu Ming, then slowly walked forward. He leaned against the window, using his fingers to prick a window and look inside.

Chu Ming and Xue Bailing couldn't see what was going on inside. They looked at each other and felt bored.

Chu Ming patted Zi You and softly asked, "How is it?"

Zi turned around and said, "As expected."

"Then that means this matter was really caused by Shao Zhi?" Chu Ming couldn't wait to go up and have a look.

Zi You nodded and gave him his place.

Chu Ming tiptoed to the front of the cave and looked inside. He saw a pile of human corpses lying on the ground, covered in red cloth. The corpses were all missing arms, and not a single one was intact. It was a bloody scene. In the middle of the cauldron, there was a huge cauldron. It was unknown what was floating within the cauldron. White smoke continued to billow up, but there was a hole on top. Moonlight shone down onto the cauldron, creating a strange scene. Behind the cauldron, there were two other people dressed in strange black robes. Both of them wore large cloaks that covered their faces. The two of them took some white powder from a table to the side and continuously sprinkled it into the cauldron. It was extremely strange.

On the right side of the cauldron were more than ten human bodies lying side by side. No one knew if they were dead or alive, but they were all wearing large black cloaks and looked exactly the same as those demon creatures. It was likely that they were the hosts. And on the left side, there seemed to be a 'completed' host, who stood there without moving. The number was shocking, no less than 30, and if this was discovered, then there would be a lot of fierce battles. Chu Ming felt his hair stand on end as he thought about how the hosts would attack like wild beasts.

Xue Bailing was also very curious. He pulled on Chu Ming and whispered, "Let me take a look!"

Chu Ming turned his head to the side and said softly, "You're not allowed to shout out if you see it. It's very bloody inside."

Xue Bailing ignored her and peeked inside, but upon seeing who it was, he was shocked and almost shouted out loud. Luckily, Chu Ming acted in time and covered her mouth, pulling her back, saying, "I told you not to look, just look, you almost caused trouble!"

Xue Bailing was very embarrassed, so he couldn't argue with Chu Ming.

Zi You said, "I think this Shao Zhi is the mastermind."

"How did you know that Shao Zhi was refining these poisons?" Xue Bailing asked.

Chu Ming explained, "There are two reasons, one is because it would arouse too much suspicion that these poisonous creatures were cultivated by Dugu Qiye, because Dugu Qiye would not have been stupid enough to offend a martial artist at the mouth of the wind, and the second is that Shao Zhi must have a reason in order to gather all the heroes to help him, so what's the reason?"

"Oh!" "I understand. It's that the spreading of poison was created by Dugu Qiye." Xue Bailing was relieved.

Zi You added on from the side, "Naturally, Shao Zhi has other motives."

"What purpose?" The duo asked simultaneously.

Zi You said, "Shao Zhi will not completely trust those of us who came to help him, so he naturally has to replenish his own forces. This way, to a large extent, Shao Zhi's combat strength will be strengthened, and when dealing with Dugu Qi Ye, he will have a better chance of winning."

"This Shao Zhi is indeed an old fox. No wonder my dad and Uncle Bian Jie like to call him that!" "For the sake of that ring!"

Zi You said, "Although I also feel that Shao Zhi is too inhumane, but to be honest, the Six King Rings can indeed make some people risk their lives for it."

Chu Ming frowned, "Are these Six King Rings really that evil?"

Zi You said, "Not really. The main thing is that the Sixth King's Ring is a necessary item to open the Earthen Treasure Trove. Anyone who collects six items will be able to open the Earthen Treasure Trove."

Chu Ming asked, "What is this Earth Treasure Trove?"

Zi You looked around and said, "Explaining is quite time-consuming. Let's finish our business first and explain everything when we have time."

Xue Bailing asked, "Is there anything else?" Aren't you here to find out the truth? "We already know that. Are we not going to retreat and wait for someone to catch us?"

Zi You shook his head and said, "It's not over yet, we have to find a way to check if the thing inside the cauldron is those Gu worms. Furthermore, I saw just now, there are only two people there.

Chu Ming said, "Secret?"

Zi You nodded his head and said, "Although I don't know what else is inside yet, I still need to investigate thoroughly before coming here. If I'm not wrong, the ambush will happen tomorrow. There won't be a second chance."

Chu Ming nodded his head and said, "Fine, I also feel like we should settle this once and for all."
