Luo Ping looked at her intoxicated appearance and could only sigh inwardly: Women are really contradictory, they both love to be beautiful and love to eat.
"That, cousin, I think we should just kill it first. As for skinning and cutting its meat, let's wait until we get out. After all, its size is too big."
"Yes, cousin Ping is right. Then let's kill it first."
Chen Xiuxiu also felt that it made sense.
Thus, Luo Ping took out the 'Slanted Moon Three Stars Sword' and walked towards the 'Blazing Ice Buffalo' in a domineering manner.
A pitiful first grade spirit beast — — although it was at the bottom of the pack, it was defeated by Luo Ping and lost its life.
"Alright, cousin, let's see if there's an exit."
After separating the 'Water Buffalo's' body, Luo Ping began to consider leaving the cave. After all, their purpose was to find the treasure.
"Cousin Ping, this cave is sealed, there is no exit at all?" Chen Xiuxiu looked around and said disappointedly.
"Who said it was sealed, isn't there a cave there?" Luo Ping pointed with his finger.
Following the direction he pointed, it turned out to be the cave where the 'Water Buffalo' lived before. It was pitch black and they couldn't see the scene inside at all.
"Cousin Ping, you don't think the exit is in the cave, right? But it is also possible, after all, only that place is not sealed. "
"Cousin Ping, you are so smart, cousin admires you so much! Hee hee! "
Chen Xiuxiu revealed a silly, love-struck expression, making Luo Ping smile from the bottom of his heart, feeling very sweet.
Taking out a match and lighting it, the two of them walked into the pitch-black cave.
"Kacha, kacha"
When they stepped on the ground, it felt like they were stepping on something, and it made a crisp sound.
When they looked closer, it turned out to be white bones scattered all over the ground.
Because of the long time, the white bones had been weathered, and when they were stepped on, they all shattered, making the 'kacha' sound.
"Cousin Ping, why are there so many bones? Could it be that these people were killed by Water Buffalo?"
It was rare that Chen Xiuxiu didn't scream in panic. She just grabbed Luo Ping's arm tightly and didn't look at the ground directly.
"It should be, I'm afraid that the people who were killed were the soldiers sent by the Great Proud Nation."
Luo Ping said as he picked up a wooden stick from the ground and lit it up. Suddenly, the fire was very bright, and the whole scene of the cave was revealed.
Other than the bones scattered all over the ground, there was a big nest made of weeds and branches inside the cave. It should be the resting place of Water Buffalo.
Not far away, there was a smaller hole that was emitting a bit of light.
"Cousin, look, that must be the exit. Let's go over there quickly."
Hearing Luo Ping's excited shouts, Chen Xiuxiu noticed the small glowing hole and immediately jumped up.
"Great, we can finally leave this damned place. So many bones, it's disgusting to look at."
She didn't know that when she jumped, she stepped on countless bones and the 'kacha' sound made her have goosebumps.
After stopping jumping, she pulled Luo Ping's arm.
"Let's go, Cousin Ping!"
The two carefully stepped on the open space and came to the front of the small hole. Looking at the light in front of them, they walked in without hesitation.
"What the hell, is the mysterious person in this cave 'obsessive-compulsive disorder' or 'perfectionist'? Why is it the same passage, the same cave, can't it be a little innovative?"
Luo Ping was completely speechless, because they were now in the passage. The height and width of the previous passage were the same, there was almost no change.
"It's too bad, even the length of the passage is the same."
Out of the passage, Luo Ping didn't forget to 'complain'. But seeing the scene in front of him, he was stunned again.
It was not a cave, not a cave, but a magnificent hall.
The hall was very spacious, with a total of 18 gilded iron pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes on both sides, supporting the whole hall.
There was a wide aisle in the center, covered with red carpets and golden ribbons. The hall was grand and noble.
At the end of the aisle, on the golden wall, there were three lifelike calligraphy paintings. From a distance, the characters in the paintings seemed to be the same person, with their feet slightly raised, legs arched, and waists straight, and their expressions calm.
The handwriting on the paintings was vigorous and powerful, and the strokes were linked together, wild and unruly. It was really a masterpiece of wild grass!
On the left and right sides of the passage where Luo Ping and Chen Mengmeng were standing, there was also a passage, but they didn't know where it led to this place.
"Cousin Ping, let's go and have a look!"
After staying in the dark cave for a long time, Chen Xiuxiu couldn't help but run over to have a look when she saw such a 'high-end' hall.
"Wait! Cousin, look at the ground in front of you. "
Because she was too excited before, she only looked in front of her. Now that she heard Luo Ping's reminder, she withdrew her gaze and looked at the ground in front of her.
"Eh, Cousin Ping, what is this? Why are there so many circles here? "Chen Xiuxiu's face was full of confusion.
In front of them, there was a section of the ground that was not covered with red carpets, but with dozens of red circles. There was no pattern, and it was messy, as if it was just randomly drawn.
However, the moment Luo Ping saw the red circles, his pupils had already widened, and he was shocked.
Now that he heard Chen Xiuxiu's question, he calmed down a little.
"This is the 'Star Stepping Diagram', a footwork that has disappeared for nearly ten thousand years, or more accurately, a kind of — — formation!" Luo Ping answered with certainty.
Because he couldn't cultivate before, he had enough time, so he spent almost half of his time reading.
No matter if it was martial arts classics, biographies of famous people, or ancient secret stories. He had come into contact with all of them, but he didn't expect that they would come in handy today.
However, the formation that had disappeared for nearly ten thousand years had actually appeared here, which really surprised him. He found it hard to believe.
According to the records, ten thousand years ago, the 'Star Stepping Diagram' technique was extremely popular. It involved the Nine Palaces, Eight Trigrams, Seven Stars, Five Elements, the movement of the stars in the sky, and the movement of the sun and moon. Whether it was footwork, formations, spells, talismans, or witchcraft, they all had to be based on it.
The 'Star Stepping Diagram' used the movement of the stars to determine the position, the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams to arrange the formation, and the movement of the sun and moon. It was based on the creation of heaven and earth, and used footwork to show its full power!
Although it was the foundation, it was indispensable. Whether it was footwork, formations, talismans, or spells, one had to first learn how to arrange the formation. The 'Star Stepping Diagram' borrowed the power of nature and the power of heaven and earth to increase the power of one's attack or defense. It could be said to be the 'source of all arts, the edict of mystery'.
Although there were martial artists in the Mortal Domain who practiced the 'Star Stepping Diagram' technique and could only display the most basic power, it was enough to show disdain for all heroes and become famous all over the world.
However, for some unknown reason, the 'Star Stepping Diagram' technique suddenly disappeared from the Mortal Domain ten thousand years ago. All the martial arts books related to it disappeared without a trace. The person who practiced the technique also seemed to have disappeared from the world, without a trace.
Countless martial artists searched for a long time, but still couldn't find the root cause. In the end, they could only leave it as it was.
With the passage of time, the 'Star Stepping Technique' was gradually forgotten by people. It could only be seen in some books about mysterious techniques and secrets.
"Cousin, what is the 'Star Stepping Diagram'?" Chen Xiuxiu had never heard of it before, and couldn't help but be curious.
Seeing this, Luo Ping briefly explained the relevant knowledge to her, and she was shocked again and again.
"It can't be, right? Cousin Ping, according to what you said, if something that disappeared for ten thousand years appeared here, doesn't it mean that the mysterious person here is almost ten thousand years old?"
Chen Xiuxiu suddenly felt terrified.
If a person lived for ten thousand years, wouldn't that mean that he had become a spirit or a monster?
From what she knew, a person's age should be at most two hundred years old at the Xiantian Martial King level!
"Not necessarily. Maybe this place is an ancient site from ten thousand years ago, or the mysterious person coincidentally obtained a strange technique and mastered it." Luo Ping had a different opinion.
"No matter what, let's break this diagram and enter the main hall first!"
"Breaking a diagram? Cousin Ping, I don't know anything about it. It seems that I'll have to rely on you again, hee hee. "
Chen Xiuxiu saw that there shouldn't be any danger in breaking a diagram, so she didn't bother to participate. After all, she really didn't know anything.
"Well, cousin, you should stay away first. It's best if you hide. I'm worried that breaking the diagram will be dangerous. "Luo Ping was very cautious.
This was because the appearance of a diagram was often accompanied by an invisible attack. If one took a wrong step, they would definitely fall into the attack range.
"Ah, there's still danger. Cousin Ping, you have to be careful! "Chen Xiuxiu was worried again.
After replying with a reassuring smile, Luo Ping began to concentrate on breaking the diagram.
There were a total of 36 red circles. It seemed that the person who laid the diagram had a high level of attainment.
The most basic array diagram had eight or nine array points, the higher level array diagram had eighteen or twenty-seven array points, and the next level array diagram had thirty-six array points. Of course, there were more array points. The more array points there were, the more complicated it was.
The diagram in front of him was at the third level. It was not easy for Luo Ping to break it.
Although he had dabbled in the Nine Palaces, Eight Diagrams, and Qimen Arts, he just talked about it on paper and didn't really touch it.
Now, he had to face such a complicated diagram. The pressure could be imagined.
"Thirty-six array points, and the array diagram formed would take at least two hundred minutes. It won't be easy to find out which one it is in such a short time."
"Let's find the first step first. Everything is difficult at the beginning. After finding the first step, it will become easier and easier."
Based on the arrangement of the 36 array points, Luo Ping had basically determined the basic direction of the array diagram and locked on to the 5 points for the first step.
He casually picked up a piece of gravel next to him. Using all his strength, he suddenly threw it, accurately throwing it at one of the array points.
"Boom!"
The gravel fell to the ground, making a crashing sound.
Then, the originally flat and uniform ground suddenly protruded and slowly rose. It was the red circle that was hit by the rubble.
The protruding piece of the ground was cylindrical. It was smooth and flat and only stopped half a foot above the ground.
Just when Luo Ping thought he had succeeded, countless spears suddenly shot out from the surrounding walls and neatly fell around the protruding column.
In a moment, the column was densely packed with spears, like a hedgehog.
"Damn, what material are these spear heads made of? They can actually penetrate the ground. If a person stood there … "Luo Ping didn't dare to continue thinking.
