Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 1858 - 1855: Qixing Sect

After the light passed, the illusion dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the crevice.

Lin Tian put away the Heavenly Tribulation Sword and laughed, "The Blood Moon didn’t just bring bad luck; at least it helped weaken the power of the illusion."

Xu Feibai didn’t say anything and directly jumped into the crevice, disappearing in an instant.

"How do we get in?" Xiao Manxuan cautiously peered into the crevice, but it was still dark inside and she couldn’t see the bottom, feeling a bit anxious.

Lin Tian flashed a smile, and before the little girl could react to what he meant, he suddenly picked her up.

The little girl let out a cry of surprise, and then came endless darkness, followed by a sense of weightlessness, with the sound of wind whistling by her ears as she quickly fell. She instinctively closed her eyes, buried her head into Lin Tian’s chest, and tightly held onto him. Smelling the familiar scent, she unexpectedly calmed down with only a slight tinge of fear.

At some point, the wind stopped, and it became very quiet around. Xiao Manxuan, feeling strange, opened her eyes and lifted her head, seeing a purple flame rising from Lin Tian’s palm, illuminating the underground space brightly.

That wasn’t the point; the point was that both Lin Tian and Xu Feibai were looking at her. Only then did the little girl realize that she’d already landed on solid ground and was still holding tightly onto Lin Tian.

Oh no, this is so embarrassing... Xiao Manxuan blushed with shame, quickly struggling to get down. Xu Feibai looked back and forth between Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan, shaking his head helplessly. Of course, Lin Tian took his look as one of envy and jealousy.

"There are only stone walls all around, no passages?" Xiao Manxuan pretended not to be embarrassed, calmly checking the surroundings.

But she wasn’t wrong. The underground space wasn’t big, with stone walls all around, and Lin Tian also discovered that there were very tiny holes in the stone walls, even smaller than chopsticks, and the holes were very smooth, obviously often used.

"If I’m not mistaken, this should be the lair of the Ghost Worms." Lin Tian said confidently after observing for a while.

The Ghost Worms, thin as strands of hair, appeared and disappeared unpredictably; this disaster was caused by the Ghost Worms. Upon hearing this, the little girl instinctively moved closer to Lin Tian.

"Don’t worry, there are no worms here anymore; Ksitigarbha’s last blow purified them all." Lin Tian comforted her.

After speaking, Lin Tian looked at Xu Feibai, who had been at the construction site at the time. He nodded and said, "When the golden light from the sky fell, I knew it was Ksitigarbha taking action, but I didn’t expect Ksitigarbha to appear at the hospital."

"How do we find Jiang Chen, it’s all stone walls here?" Xiao Manxuan asked again.

"No, there’s a stone door over there." Lin Tian and Xu Feibai simultaneously pointed to the stone wall in front.

The two smiled at each other and walked toward the stone wall. This stone wall looked no different than the other three, the same flat rocks, the same tiny holes. Xiao Manxuan looked for a long time and couldn’t find anything unusual.

At least she didn’t find any seams a stone door should have had; even if the stone door had been built to fit closely, there should have been some gap, right, otherwise how would it open and close?

"Could it be another illusion?" Xiao Manxuan asked quizzically.

"It’s not an illusion. Imagine if those tiny holes were filled with light, what do you think it would look like?" Lin Tian prompted.

The little girl was smart and understood soon after thinking, exclaiming, "It’s a starry sky! The black stone wall is the night sky, with the tiny points of light as stars, forming a map of the starry sky."

"Yes, it’s the starry sky map, and hidden within this map is the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper. Look here, the arrangement and combination of the holes is slightly different from the surrounding ones; connecting the seven points, it precisely forms the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper we’re familiar with." Lin Tian drew with his hand on the stone wall, connecting the seven points.

Xiao Manxuan’s eyes lit up with surprise, "It’s really the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, but how do we know it’s a door?"

Lin Tian smiled silently, looking at Xu Feibai. Xu Feibai twitched his mouth and said, "What are you looking at me for? If you know, just say it."

Some people just don’t know how to cooperate. Lin Tian rolled his eyes at him, realizing he had to explain himself: "I’ve read ancient records. Master Lu Ban documented an ancient mechanism, a combination of mechanical techniques and Daoist formations. What we have before us is the Qixing Sect, driven by the Seven Star Formation."

"But unfortunately, Master Lu Ban only mentioned the Qixing Sect and didn’t record how to open it, because the method to open the Qixing Sect was lost a long time ago." Lin Tian said.

However, he wasn’t too disappointed, as he realized Xu Feibai was so calm because he obviously knew the lost method to open the Qixing Sect.

Sure enough, Xu Feibai picked up where Lin Tian left off: "Actually, it’s not hard to open the Qixing Sect; you just need to infuse energy simultaneously into the positions of the seven stars, and the Seven Star Formation will activate, opening the stone door."

"We only have three people, and I’m not an Ancient Martial Artist, I don’t have True Qi Energy; how can we infuse it at the same time?" Xiao Manxuan looked around; not enough people, not even close to seven.

Xu Feibai shook his head and calmly stated, "No, you do. You possess a different kind of energy. Just place your hands on the star positions, and the Seven Star Formation will sense it. And don’t worry; it won’t cause any adverse effects."

Of course, he knew about Xiao Manxuan’s condition, as he’d been hit once before by her palm, which was enough to threaten him.

Xiao Manxuan didn’t immediately agree but looked towards Lin Tian, who nodded, "It’s fine; this guy doesn’t dare to lie."

"Okay, then I’ll be responsible for Shaking Light and Kaiyang..." Xiao Manxuan examined the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, standing at the position of the handle, and pressed her hands against the last two stars of the handle, which were Shaking Light and Kaiyang.

Lin Tian naturally stood next to the little girl, pressing his hands against, "I’ll take care of Alioth and Megrez."

It was Xu Feibai’s turn, and when he saw his final position, he was dumbfounded. Because the remaining three positions were Megrez, the Celestial Rotation, and Tianshu.

With three star positions, his two hands weren’t enough; he had to use his foot. But since the positions of these stars formed a triangle, with both hands and a foot against the wall, it looked like a dog urinating against the wall, as awkward as one could imagine.

"I’ll switch positions with you." Xu Feibai protested to Lin Tian.

"No switching. I need to watch over Xuanxuan to prevent any accidents during activation." Lin Tian flatly refused, then seriously urged, "Hurry up. Once the Blood Moon passes and the energy disappears, the Barrier will recover, and you won’t have another chance to open it."

Gritting his teeth, Xu Feibai reluctantly pressed both hands and a foot against the wall, the posture looking embarrassingly much like a yellow dog urinating. Getting such an ancient-style handsome guy awkward was no easy feat. Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan barely held back their laughter, preventing it from escaping.

"Focus your minds; we’re about to begin!" Xu Feibai glared at the two, speaking fiercely. It seemed even the ancient-style handsome guy was blushing with embarrassment.

Knowing the critical importance of the Blood Moon, Lin Tian stopped teasing him, focusing his mind and sensing the star positions with his palms.
