C862 Enter the Hinterland
On the way, Xue Chen's phone rang. Xue Chen took out his phone and frowned when he saw the caller ID.
This number was unfamiliar. He had never seen it before. It was a landline phone!
After pondering for a moment, Xue Chen picked up the phone.
Before Xue Chen could say anything, a deep male voice came into his ear. "Young Master Xue, what do you think?"
"You don't have much time left."
Hearing this unfamiliar yet familiar voice, Xue Chen's expression turned slightly cold. "It's you!"
"Yes, it's me." Ou Zheng said lightly, "I don't know what you are thinking about. I have a lot of time to wait for you. I just don't know if Miss Shen can afford to wait."
"By the way, I forgot to tell you last time. If she had a seizure and there was no antidote, her entire mind would collapse. It is not something incomprehensible to do something so casual." Ou Zheng said softly: "This time, it was far from the effect of tranquilizers. Even if you knock her out or take some sleeping pill, It's not very useful...
"If Xue Chen didn't find Huo Hongyan before, he might have already surrendered at this time. But now that he had found Huo Hongyan and heard the serious threat from Ou Zheng, Xue Chen's expression turned extremely cold.
"Give me two or three days!" Xue Chen did not want to alarm Ou Zheng. Instead, he pretended to be struggling. "I need to think about it."
"No problem. After all, this is a big deal. One side is the Qin Imperial Seal, and the other is his beloved wife. Anyone else would be hesitant. "I can understand!" Ou Zheng said very understanding, "Two days later, I will contact you again. I hope that you can make the wisest choice!"
As soon as he said that, Ou Zheng hung up the phone.
At this moment, Huo Hongyan suddenly said, "Lend me your phone!"
Xue Chen was stunned but did not think much of it. He directly handed it to Huo Hongyan.
After Huo Hongyan took the phone, she directly opened the window and threw it outside.
"What are you doing?" Xue Chen said angrily.
Why did this woman keep her phone?
"Xue Chen, it's good that I let you use your phone for so many days." Huo Hongyan said with a serious face, "But now we are going to the hinterland of the seedlings, a den like a tiger's den!"
"Do you think you are safe with your phone?"
"Also, do you think no one has noticed you after you disappeared for a few days?"
"No one has used satellite positioning to find out where you are?"
"If you want to get the White Bone Flower, then listen to me!"
Xue Chen fell silent. What Huo Hongyan said was right. He had thought about it, but if he did not have a phone, the traffic would be very bad. He would not know anything about the outside world. He would be blind and deaf!
That was why he kept it.
"After entering the heart of the seedlings, you have to listen to me."
As she spoke, Huo Hongyan added another sentence. "You have to listen to me for everything!"
"I know!"
Huo Hongyan did not say anything after Xue Chen agreed.
After a long time, they finally arrived at the border between Fengxiang County and Songtao Miao County. They left the car at a place that no one cared about and got out of the car.
"How do we go now?"
"Just follow me!"
Xue Chen did not ask any more questions. He followed Huo Hongyan along the way.
Under Huo Hongyan's lead, the two of them walked into a dense forest or small hill.
After an unknown amount of time, Xue Chen suddenly realized that the trees in front of him were getting denser, but he did not care. But after a few rounds, Xue Chen found that he and Huo Hongyan seemed to be circling in the same place, as if they had encountered the legendary ghost wall.
This made Xue Chen a little confused.
What was going on?
Immediately, Xue Chen found a tree and prepared to leave a mark. He wanted to see if he had encountered a ghost wall, but before he could do anything, Huo Hongyan said, "Don't damage anything here, and don't leave a mark."
"Why?" Xue Chen asked with a puzzled expression.
Huo Hongyan did not answer immediately. She walked around and looked around before she slowly said, "It should be here."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't you think that this is a secret art?" Huo Hongyan asked. "Did Martial God not tell you about the Inner Hidden Gates or did he teach you about it?"
Hearing Huo Hongyan's words, Xue Chen realized that there was indeed something about the Inner Hidden Gates.
"You mean..."
"The hinterland of the seedlings is isolated from the rest of the world. Unless one is a member of the tribe, one cannot take even half a step into it." Huo Hongyan said heavily, "If I remember correctly, this is the place to enter!"
"It's just that we were blocked by their Inner Hidden Gates and could only circle on the spot!" Huo Hongyan said neither lightly nor heavily, "As long as we can break through this Inner Hidden Gate, we can go in!"
"You can break it?"
"I can't!" Huo Hongyan shook her head and said, "I believe you can. It is impossible for Martial God not to give you the Inner Hidden Gates!"
The corner of Xue Chen's mouth couldn't help twitching. Huo Hongyan was treating him as an all-rounded player!
Although Martial God had given him these things and he had learned them, he had never seen them before.
"Hurry up and look around and see how we can get in." Huo Hongyan urged. "There are definitely White Bone Flowers in here. I can guarantee it for you!"
After hearing Huo Hongyan's words, Xue Chen gritted his teeth and did not say anything more. He began to circle around.
The wonders of the Gate of Wonder referred to the Three Wonders, the Second, Third, which was also known as the Sun, Moon, and Star. The so-called Gate of Wonder referred to the Eight Gates, which were respectively: "Open, rest, live, injure. Du. Jing.
Moreover, one had to make use of the nine palaces to make use of the nine palaces - dry, Kan, Gen, Zhen - middle - Xun - Li, Kun, Dui!
It could be said to be extremely complicated. Many people had spent their entire lives trying to figure out the secrets within it, and they were only able to understand a little bit of it. Even Martial God only knew a little bit about it. He didn't dare to say that he had a thorough understanding of it.
But even if he knew a thing or two, it was enough for him to enjoy his whole life!
After circling around, Xue Chen slowly closed his eyes. His mind was filled with the scene in front of him. At the same time, a diagram of the Nine Palaces's Eight Trigrams slowly formed in his mind.
"Three on the left, four on the right, step on, step in!"
As Xue Chen spoke, he immediately moved. Huo Hongyan also hurriedly followed Xue Chendong when she saw this.
"Five up, six down, step on Kun and Kan!"
"Go up, go up, go up, and go down. Injure and die!"
"Right nine, back three..."
Xue Chen tried his best to use the eight trigrams diagram in his mind to keep walking. At the same time, he did not forget to remind Huo Hongyan. About ten minutes later, Huo Hongyan suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Xue Chen, we seem to have come in."
After hearing Huo Hongyan's words, Xue Chen immediately opened his eyes. The scene in front of him changed. It was no longer the dense forest from before. In front of them, there were several small hills connected together. They meandered up and down like a huge dragon lying on the ground. It looked quite spectacular.
After seeing this scene, Xue Chen couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.
"Not bad. You really have Martial God's mantle!"
"Actually, I relied on luck too!" Xue Chen sighed. "It's a good thing they didn't hurt people. Otherwise, if they had done anything, they would have done something. We'll probably be in trouble!"
"They just don't want others to come and disturb them, that's why they took this thing. Ordinary people will retreat after circling back and forth. Of course, if someone comes in by accident, it won't be that easy to leave!"
"What do you mean?"
" Come with me and you'll know! "
Huo Hongyan then led Xue Chen to the side of the hill. In an instant, a small cave that could only accommodate one person appeared in it.
"This is..."
"The only way to enter the hinterland of the seedlings is through the path!"
"This... can we enter?" Xue Chen asked Huo Hongyan with his eyes wide open.
The cave in front of them was too small. It was barely enough for a person to go in, and he did not know what would happen if he went in.
"You'll know once you enter!"
Huo Hongyan turned her body and went in. Xue Chen saw this and quickly followed her in. However, Xue Chen did not only need to turn his body to the side, but he also needed to bend his back.
After going in, Xue Chen's face was full of surprise. This narrow cave really could accommodate him. The more you thought you could not go in, the wider it became.
It was as if he was a god of work, unbelievable to the extreme.
After walking for an unknown distance, a stone tablet suddenly appeared in front of them. On it was carved with the Great Seal Script. Those who entered would die!
However, Xue Chen and Huo Hongyan did not pay attention to the words on it and kept walking inside.
After an unknown amount of time, a ray of light suddenly appeared at the cave entrance in front of them. This made Xue Chen's entire body shake.
The two of them were getting closer and closer to the entrance of the cave. At the same time, Huo Hongyan warned Xue Chen not to make any noise, as if there was a huge danger at the entrance of the cave.
Suddenly, a male voice entered Xue Chen and Huo Hongyan's line of sight, and then another.
There were two people at the entrance of the cave. No one knew what they were talking about. In any case, Xue Chen did not understand.
On the other hand, Huo Hongyan's brows were tightly knitted together.
After a long time, Huo Hongyan made a hand gesture to Xue Chen's neck.
After seeing this scene, Xue Chen immediately understood what Huo Hongyan meant and nodded immediately.
