Chapter 1326
Under the clear and transparent lake surface, hundreds of coffins were neatly arranged!
All the coffins were arranged according to the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces positions. Looking from top to bottom, it was an Eight Trigrams Array composed of coffins!
In the center of the array, a white flame was burning fiercely, getting more and more vigorous!
The oppressive momentum also swept out from this vigorous white flame.
"Hiss, these coffins are all refined from Nine Profound Willow Wood, and the wood age must be at least ten thousand years!" Someone stared at the hundreds of coffins below and sighed in shock.
"A ten-thousand-year-old willow tree can only produce a piece of Nine Profound Willow Wood the size of a thumb, which is already very difficult. There are so many coffins here, all refined from Nine Profound Willow Wood, isn't this too big a deal?"
"With so many coffins, who exactly is buried inside?" Dean Qin of the Litian Academy asked with a frown.
"I'm afraid it's not to bury people, but purely to set up an array!" A leader of a major force said in a deep voice.
"That's unlikely. If it were just to set up an array, there would be no need to make them into coffins. There must be people buried inside, and they were set up into an array together with the coffins!" The Great Buddha Master Zeng said with a solemn expression.
Such a big scene was considered a big deal for them.
Hundreds of Nine Profound Willow Wood coffins over ten thousand years old used as part of an array, at least they couldn't do it!
The growth of a willow tree is generally accompanied by powerful Heavenly Tribulations, and it is very difficult to grow to over ten thousand years. Nine Profound Willow Wood is produced from the heart of a ten-thousand-year-old willow tree, similar to the Golden Core or Nascent Soul cultivated by humans!
Now that hundreds of Nine Profound Willow Wood coffins are placed underground, it is hard to imagine how many ten-thousand-year-old willow trees the person who set up the array cut down!
"Strange, why still don't see Miss Lin?" At this moment, someone asked in confusion.
Xu Que also had his brows locked tightly, scanning the bottom of the lake, but he really didn't find Lin Yuxi's trace, and couldn't even track a trace of her aura.
This was a bit weird. Logically speaking, if Lin Yuxi really disappeared in this place, then she could only appear at the bottom of the lake, but now her figure wasn't found.
"Hiss, wait a minute, could she be in one of these Nine Profound Willow Wood coffins?" Duan Jiude gasped and shouted in shock.
Everyone present changed their expressions instantly.
Duan Jiude's words really woke everyone up.
Since Lin Yuxi had come in, the only hiding place was probably those Nine Profound Willow Wood coffins!
"That's not right, Miss Lin came for the inheritance, how could she enter those coffins, wouldn't that make her part of the array?" Someone shook their head and raised a doubt.
Er Gouzi's eyes suddenly opened, and it said with a solemn expression: "This Divine Venerable, although still unable to remember anything, has used amazing wisdom to deduce a truth that makes one's scalp tingle."
The gazes of everyone present instantly focused on Er Gouzi.
Er Gouzi stood up, walked toward the lake with heavy steps, stared at the coffins below, and said in a deep voice: "Perhaps the inheritance Miss Lin mentioned is itself a conspiracy. She fell into a trap, entered it by mistake, was sucked into a coffin, and became part of the array."
"Damn, isn't this the routine of the Heaven and Earth Furnace in the Buried Immortal Valley?" Duan Jiude frowned.
"That's right, this Divine Venerable used perfect wisdom to connect these things and successfully deduced this result!" Er Gouzi nodded.
Xu Que rolled his eyes and wanted to complain that Er Gouzi was overthinking, but the words reached his throat and he swallowed them back.
Although Er Gouzi's deduction was baseless and only because of the experience in the Buried Immortal Valley, it thought in this direction.
But the problem was, the Heaven and Earth Furnace in the Buried Immortal Valley was participated in by Er Gouzi back then.
Now that Er Gouzi said this place looked familiar but couldn't remember the specifics, it made Xu Que fall into hesitation.
If this place was also participated in by Er Gouzi, then there would be trouble.
Combining the things Er Gouzi did in its previous lives, it was enough to prove that none of its previous lives were good people. If this Heavenly Fire Snow Lake really had something to do with it, then Lin Yuxi was probably in danger.
"Sect Master Xu, this old man thinks that perhaps we have to go down to see to know the truth!" Dean Qin of the Litian Academy looked at Xu Que and said.
Xu Que nodded. Now that things had come to this, he could only go down to see.
But how to go down?
"The restriction on the lake surface is connected to the coffins below. If we forcibly break the ice layer of the lake, the coffins below will also be affected. If they are destroyed, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable!" Xu Que shook his head, feeling worried.
After Zixia Fairy swept away the ice and snow of the first layer of restriction, everyone could see that the ice layer on the lake surface was full of restriction runes, and it extended to the bottom of the lake, connecting with the Eight Trigrams Array composed of coffins, forming a large array as a whole.
If they acted rashly and destroyed a part of it, it might cause even bigger trouble.
This was like a bomb; all the lines couldn't be cut randomly, otherwise it would explode in minutes.
Xu Que himself didn't care, but Lin Yuxi was likely in one of the Nine Profound Willow Wood coffins below. If it really exploded, how could Lin Yuxi survive?
"It's indeed very complicated. This Divine Venerable feels that no matter which part is destroyed, it will involve the restriction below. It's too difficult!" Er Gouzi pondered for a moment and shook its head.
It was very good at restriction formations, but it felt worried at this moment.
"There's no other way, we can only use the old method, dig down from the side!" Xu Que made a decision. Since the front wasn't allowed, he would forcefully insert from the back. This was the consistent style of the Zha Tian Bang!
"Damn, digging again, does this count as grave robbing?" Er Gouzi looked reluctant.
"With so many coffins, should it count as a tomb?" Duan Jiude also smiled bitterly.
Xu Que ignored these two idiots, squatted directly on the ground, condensed a strand of Immortal Yuan in his palm, and pressed it against the ground, feeling the hardness of the underground.
Afterward, he picked up a strand of soil, frowned slightly, and found that things weren't simple.
"Not good, these lands are frozen by cold ice, and the hardness exceeds our imagination. I'm afraid it won't be easy to dig them open!" He shook his head.
Er Gouzi also stepped on the ground and nodded: "It seems to be harder than the Mirror Lake in the Xuan Yi Immortal Domain! With our strength, I'm afraid it will take a year or half to dig to the underground!"
"No, the point is the ice layer of the lake, which is not as hard as the surrounding soil. If we use too much force, we might shatter those ice layers!" Duan Jiude said with a solemn expression.
"Sigh!"
Xu Que sighed instantly and looked up at the sky!
"Kid, don't be discouraged, there will always be a way!" Er Gouzi patted Xu Que on the shoulder and comforted him.
"Who said I'm discouraged?"
Xu Que pushed Er Gouzi's claw away, looked at the ground, and said indifferently: "I originally thought that the knowledge I learned back then would be useless, but now it seems... it's time to show my great knowledge reserve!"
