Yuan Yi didn't tease him too much. She walked to the second set of pictures and said, "This one doesn't have any special meaning. It's just that the tip of the sword at the top is pointing down, the tip of the sword at the bottom is pointing up. What it indicates is an empty space in the middle. However, it really can't be considered special. It's nothing more than a bare stone wall. Therefore, we temporarily named it 'wall'. The next set of swords is arranged in an orderly manner. It's a picture of a battlefield. Standing in front of it, one can feel a majestic aura. Those who can go deep into the battlefield are all experienced generals. For the time being, we temporarily named them 'generals'. Looking at this picture, it depicts two kinds of animals. The former is a steed, the latter is a cheetah. One in front, one behind, they are running without stopping. This could be called a competition, or a hunting scene. However, the two shouldn't coexist. It's better not to think about the specific situation. To use the idiom 'returning to one's original state', simply speaking, it reflects the word 'chase'. As for why it's not 'escape', Prince Zhuang has been on the battlefield all year round. He despises deserters the most. Senior Mu should avoid this taboo in his tomb. She can't let any disgraceful word appear in the tomb of the hero in her heart. She compared Prince Zhuang to a cheetah, chasing its prey, not a prey that runs away. The reason is this. Therefore, you don't have to be so smart and say that it's just my wishful thinking. The top of the next picture is sparse, but they are gathered into a pile, very much like white clouds floating freely in the sky. At the bottom of the Bridge of Helplessness, the wild ghosts who drank Meng Po's soup are waiting to be reincarnated. One cloud, one ghost, put together to form the character 'soul'. "
Every picture was analyzed to the end and became a character. Each method was different. Although there were some similarities and small differences, it was not easy to find out accurately. Yuan Yi's explanation was often vague, which sounded a bit far-fetched. But listening to him speak smoothly, presumably he had done a detailed analysis before, overturned all the wrong ideas, extracted the essence, and turned the pieces into a whole. Then he told everyone, so the accuracy was most likely guaranteed.
Li Yijie had been at a loss before, but now, following his point of view, those vague and clueless lines of the long sword seemed to have really become a cloud or a horse, so clear that they were about to come out at any moment. Besides the conclusion that he deduced, there was indeed no more suitable words to replace it. If it was him, he would probably be unable to think of so many things even if he racked his brains, and he couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.
Lu Qian was convinced and unconvinced; he sneered and said, "This Gongzi is indeed a Young Master from a scholarly family. He spends his days studying zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. His self-restraint is very good. In our eyes, it is the sword qi that is threatening, but in your eyes, it is poetic and artistic. Respect! You should go back to your small room to practice calligraphy. That's what you're doing here in this dark tomb. What are you doing here? Those hands of yours were born to hold a pen, not a knife. Go back, go back. "
Yuan Yi's temperament was indifferent; she was not overjoyed. At the same time, no matter how many insults she heard, she did not get angry. She said, "Have you heard a story? There was a fox who wanted to eat grapes, but the grapes were too tall for it to reach. It comforted itself by saying that the grapes were sour, so even if it could not eat them, it was not a pity. Those who picked the grapes to eat them were fools. "
"Humph," Lu Qian said coldly, "There seems to be such a story. Why are you telling it to me?" Yuan Yi laughed and said, "It's nothing. I just thought that the fox was very similar to you. It could not eat the grapes, so it said the grapes were not good. You have never studied poetry or painting, so you said you have. That's not a big deal. "
Lu Qian was so angry that smoke was coming out of his seven orifices. Other than his quarrel with Menglin six years ago, where he could not argue with her, it could be said that he had never suffered a loss in a quarrel. Today he was defeated several times by that Yuan Yi; he had lost all his face. Li Yijie untimely praised, "Xiongtai's words have really enlightened Zaixia. May I ask which character is the main point? "
"You flatter me," Yuan Yi said. Although the intention is the 'Demanding Life Chop', it is Prince Zhuang's last words after all. It was carved by Senior Mu, so it still has some degree of subjective consciousness. The last four characters must also be analyzed in the same way. It's just a warning, so I won't explain it in detail. "He walked back and forth in front of the stone wall several times, trying to let everybody fully digest what he had just said.
Some among the crowd of heroes praised him, some disdained him, some hung their heads in deep thought; there were all kinds of different opinions. Lu Qian stared intently at the diagram, his eyebrows were knitted so tightly that water could be squeezed out of them. He wanted to find some flaw in his explanation.
Yuan Yi waited quietly for half a day before concluding, "These twelve characters, when read together, will be 'Demanding Life Chop, it will chase after the soul, remember to be cautious'. I have already reminded you to this point, can't everybody figure it out? "
Lu Qian impatiently said, "Don't keep us in suspense. What do you know? Just tell us frankly. A man is imitating a girl who is confessing to her lover for the first time, acting coy and bashful. Which word is it? "Everyone chimed in at the same time. Yuan Yi said, "Since you don't want to use your brain, then what were you thinking earlier? Did you just randomly pick a path and go up? Alright, I will tell you, the main point of this sentence is the 'chasing after the soul', two characters. "
With a cold laugh Lu Qian said, "Gongzi Ye, if you have something to say, don't say it halfway, okay? Is it the 'chasing' or the 'soul'? "Yuan Yi said," Haven't I made it clear enough? It's just that your understanding is not correct. These two characters are not big or small, they are both important questions. "
Inevitably the crowd booed again. Every time they wanted to listen carefully to his opinion, in the end it was all nonsense. Lu Qian said, "The main point of this sentence is only one character, and there is only one correct path. Where did you find these two characters?"
Yuan Yi said, "There is only one path. That's right, it is between the two paths." Previously he had said a lot of absurd things, but in the end he had never been wrong. This time he was also making a solemn vow. Lu Qian often lost his confidence, but he did not want to lose face. He said, "That's just your opinion. The mechanism was set up by Senior Mu, how could her words be wrong? At least she has a better understanding than a dabbler like you, right? "
Yuan Yi laughed coldly. "Humph," he said, "I am a dabbler? You might as well take a closer look at the wooden piece. When did Senior Mu say that there is only one character for the center of gravity? " What he said was indeed true. The wooden piece did not even say anything about the characters after deciphering the diagram, let alone the 'one character'.
Cheng Jiaxuan saw that the crowd was still full of doubts about Yuan Yi. This was a good opportunity for him to show his loyalty. Taking advantage of the loosening of the crowd, he squeezed his way to the front and anxiously said, "Yuan Yi Gege, no matter what other people say, I believe you. Whatever you say, it will definitely be the way. "
Lu Qian's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He then remembered that during the crisis just now, it was also Yuan Yi who saved his life. He thought for a moment and said, "This Young Master, what is your surname? I will call you Young Master Yuan. What, do you know that unlucky girl? "
Yuan Yi did not even look at Cheng Jiaxuan. He said indifferently, "Let's just say that we know each other." There was no joy in his words of reunion with an old friend. His tone was like a basin of cold water that poured over Cheng Jiaxuan's heart and made him feel empty.
Lu Qian laughed coldly. "Then you will be out of luck. She is a jinx. Since you know her, you will be plagued by bad luck at any time. Even if the path was really between the two rows, after she said it, it is no longer there. You must be very careful. " Yuan Yi smiled faintly and said, "Towards a girl, if there is no deep hatred, there is no need to be so vicious. Don't worry, the path is obviously fixed and unchanging. It doesn't have legs that can fly. However, I must thank you for your concern. "
Lu Qian said, "Ha, you still think that I am concerned about you? Don't think too highly of yourself. I am afraid that you will activate the wrong mechanism and cause me to not be able to obtain the Death Seeking Strike. "
Yuan Yi said, "Senior Mu's true intention is not up to you to decide. However, I can prove it to you. Excuse me, bring me a sword. " Lu Qian took a long sword from the hands of a disciple beside him and threw it over. He said, "I don't have anything else to lend you, but if you want a sword, I can still afford it."
Yuan Yi caught the long sword in his hand and weighed it up and down. He nodded and walked to the middle of the "Chasing" and "Soul" rows. The tip of his foot touched the ground and he leaped up. The first thing he stepped on was the sword at the bottom of the "Soul" row. With this step, the mechanism was triggered and the Hall of the Dead rang. The other rows of long swords began to tremble violently. When the steel sheath loosened, they all shot out of the wall with a "whoosh", "whoosh" sound. In mid-air, they suddenly changed direction and rushed towards Yuan Yi.
The onlookers were also terrified. They thought that if they were in that person's place, their bodies would probably be pierced with seventeen or eighteen holes. Although it was their first meeting with Yuan Yi, they were all sweating for him in their hearts.
Yuan Yi, on the other hand, was calm as usual. It was as if everything was within his expectations. The moment he leaped up, his body was facing the wall. His right foot hooked up, but his left foot landed on the side of the "Chasing" row. At this moment, the swords were shooting out one after another. He stepped on the body of the sword. Borrowing the force of the shooting, he leaped up. This time he landed on the "Soul" row on the right.
Everyone observed him a few times and saw that he was indeed leaping back and forth between the two rows. Because the "Soul" row was the type that triggered the mechanism, it automatically chose the path he chose. The long sword was still firmly stuck in the steel sheath and did not move. The left side was moving freely. He was always able to step on the sword before it was completely out of his control. At the same time, he repeatedly waved the sword in his hand to deflect the swords around him.
A few of the swords used too much force. The swords did not fall to the ground but shot towards the crowd. A few disciples' martial arts were weaker and did not have time to dodge. Those who were hit by the swords withered and fell to the ground. Black blood flowed out. Not long after, their wounds rotted and emitted a burnt smell.
Yuan Yi was not a gentleman with a good conscience. Even though he heard a few screams behind him, he did not take it to heart. Fortunately, he did not lose sight of the other side and was hit by the swords. Lu Qian pulled Cheng Jiaxuan to hide in a corner. While he was at it, he also grabbed the nine-section whip in his hand, just in case. Cheng Jiaxuan did not dare to make trouble this time. She obediently obeyed. She had seen with her own eyes how powerful the poison on the long sword was more than once, but she did not have the guts to experience it herself.
Yuan Yi leaped all the way. When he was halfway up, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound. Several black steel chains swept towards him. Cheng Jiaxuan was just about to cry out in alarm, but she managed to restrain herself in time. She recognized those chains. They were the same ones that attacked Shen Shiyun last time in the Hall of the Dead. She did not expect that in addition to protecting the treasure box, they also had the function of guarding the Death Chop.
As soon as she saw the chains, she recalled the scene of Jiang Liechen holding Shen Shiyun in midair, the two of them staring at each other. Her heart was filled with resentment. Why did Shen Shiyun, his mortal enemy, receive such gentle treatment from him? She was clearly his benefactor, yet the treatment she received was worse than that of an enemy. Should she blame the heavens for being unfair, or should she blame him for being too cruel to her?
Yuan Yi also encountered a dangerous situation. People always make mistakes. Just now, when he stepped into the Chasing Formation, he stepped in the wrong direction. Unexpectedly, his foot stepped on the hilt of a sword, causing the sword to bounce up and shoot towards his waist. This attack was beyond his expectation. After he hastily swung his sword, he had already disrupted his original pace. Before his right foot could steady itself, many swords took advantage of this opportunity to attack him. Of course, the swords themselves did not have consciousness. They were just following the original mechanism. But at this moment, it seemed that they were adding fuel to the fire.
Seeing that he could not avoid the attack, a chain suddenly attacked in front of him. Yuan Yi took the risk out of desperation. He leaned back and raised his hand to grab the chain. The tip of his foot tapped on the wall. Borrowing the force of his kick, he flew backwards along with the chain. Halfway through, he raised his hand to knock down the sword. Looking at the direction, he waited for the chain to sweep up and down and hit the wall. Then he used his hand to support himself. Borrowing the force of the chain's swing, he flew towards the cave. This was much stronger than his own leap. In an instant, he was in front of the cave.
