Chapter 1601 The Three Gates of Nine Netherworlds
Taking a closer look, there is a very strange symbol on each of these three doors.
The three symbols are very similar, but slightly different. To the naked eye, they look like three tadpoles.
Inside the red door are the tadpoles' heads hitting each other, forming a triangle.
Inside the black door are the tadpoles' tails touching together, forming an inverted triangle.
In the colorful Huaguang Gate in the middle, there are three tadpoles connected end to end, forming a circle.
This is……
I suddenly thought about it, what on earth is this!
I have seen two of these three extremely weird symbols before.
The inverted triangular tadpole inscription on the black stone door is engraved on the front of the Yin Fu Jing.
I also saw the round tadpole inscription on the colorful stone door on the ebony staff of Senior Gray Pigeon, but it disappeared after the ebony staff turned into an ebony core!
Jiang Dayu once said that after the Jiuyou Sect was eliminated, it was divided into three large and small sects, namely Yin Fu, Yin Gui, and Yin Luo.
Each of these three doors has a magic weapon, the "Yin Fu Jing", the ebony staff, and the Nine Life Tower.
As generations changed, the first two items eventually ended up under the Yin Fu Sect, and by chance, they were passed on to me by Senior Gray Pigeon, leaving only the last piece of the Nine Life Pagoda missing.
Could it be that the Nine Life Tower... is hidden here?
This underground palace is actually a forbidden area of the Nine Nether Sect?
However, although the Jiuyou Sect has been passed down to this day, it has fallen into decline, or it may be said that it no longer exists. But in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the power was still huge. Taoist priest Baihe should know very well which symbol corresponds to which sect, and which sect contains which magic weapon!
But why did he rush into the red stone door that represented the ebony staff? Something is obviously wrong with this.
Oh, yes!
Maybe the Nine Nether Gate masters who set up this array at that time also expected that someone would come for the tower, so they deliberately misplaced it, just to trick the people who wanted to get the treasure into a dead end.
Taoist priest Bai He obviously guessed wrong, or this is simply a puzzle of choosing one of three. With the temperament of Jiuyou Sect people, you simply can't guess which door is the right one.
But the question is, since he found out that he was wrong, why didn't he go back and continue to open the second door?
Even though this sect is full of dangers and extremely vicious, Taoist Priest Bai He is so powerful.
Since he can carry many heads, fight all the way to the underground, and then return to the upper level, with his soul sealed in the river, it must not be difficult to open two more doors, right?
What is even more puzzling is that even a legendary master like Taoist Master Bai He can only break through the door with a lot of effort using a talisman and a sword. But Jiang Dayu actually knows the hidden mechanisms of Jiuyou Gate and can enter easily and deftly. What is his background?
Why are you so familiar with the details of Jiuyoumen?
Is there really a Nine Life Tower hidden here?
Also, why is Jiang Dayu acting so weird? What's wrong with him?
At this moment, Jiang Dayu dropped another foot.
The light on the bronze mirror opposite was a bit dimmer, and I could even see the runes engraved around the bronze mirror.
Jiang Dayu seemed to have touched some kind of doorway, and the speed of getting up and landing was getting faster and faster. His stepping position was extremely weird, as if he was walking an extremely mysterious pace.
I couldn't figure out what was going on at the moment, and I didn't dare to disturb him, let alone enter rashly, so I could only stare closely.
Jiang Dayu was walking, suddenly running and jumping in front of the bronze mirror, as if it was an extremely ancient dance.
Where his steps fell followed each other, it was like... he was painting.
Jiang Dayu's figure flashed faster and faster, almost flying, until finally, I could hardly see his movements clearly.
No wonder he was able to sneak up behind me in the Long Roar Guard's eight-sword formation. It turns out that this guy's movement is so fast!
As he continued to jump, the colored light in the bronze mirror became darker and darker, until finally only a faint white light remained.
Jiang Dayu paused and suddenly stood motionless.
The light and shadow in the bronze mirror condensed into a white line, and when it shone on him, a blood-red shadow was cast down.
Under the illumination of the shadow, a footprint appeared on the originally empty ground.
Those were real footprints, without shoes, and all five toes were clearly visible. They were not the ones left by Jiang Dayu just now, but the position and lines were exactly the same as the marks he had just stepped on!
In other words, Jiang Dayu just stepped on these footprints step by step.
How does this guy know so much about the situation here? Could this be the real purpose of his participation in the joint expedition?
And...the Sky-Slaying Stone!
I suddenly thought about it.
When we were cutting the Sky Stone, he seemed to have squatted opposite me on purpose. It seemed that he saved my life with a casual push, but in fact, he happened to be separated from me!
Could it be that he already knew that there was a Sky-Destroying Stone hanging above our heads, and that there were three stone gates deep in the underground palace?
Did he deliberately use the Sky-Slaying Stone to isolate me? Just like...getting rid of Lina and the others?
When I was wondering, the footprints projected on the ground slowly connected together to form a painting.
To be more precise, a skeleton.
It's just weird. There is a long, vertical small hole on the skull's forehead, which looks like another eye!
Skeleton with three eyes...
Suddenly, the three eyes shone together, emitting streaks of dark light.
The black light shines and spins, like... three tadpoles!
On the blood-red skull, tadpoles with shining black light are sometimes connected head to tail to form a circle, sometimes the three heads intersect to form a triangle, and sometimes the three tails are connected to form an inverted triangle.
It's exactly the same as the symbols of the three sects.
wrong! The three sects are originally from the same sect and are of the same origin.
This should be the oldest and most primitive Nine Nether Gate Formation!
Whoop!
The three tadpoles suddenly burst out of the ground and flew towards Jiang Dayu.
Jiang Dayu remained motionless, as if completely unconscious, allowing the three tadpoles to get into his mind.
At the same time, the bronze mirror in front of him suddenly lit up, revealing a picture...
The picture was only in black and white and was very blurry, but you could still get a general idea.
The floods are rolling, and the turbid waves are rolling down.
Houses collapsed and huge trees were uprooted.
Only half of a woman's head was exposed in the flood, and she raised her hands with great difficulty.
She held a large wooden basin in her hand.
Sitting in the wooden basin were two little boys of three or four years old, clutching the edge of the basin tightly and crying loudly.
A big wave came and the woman fell down. She used her last strength to put the wooden basin on the wave, looked at her child for the last time with great reluctance, and then sank into the rolling torrent...
