Chapter 1135: Mistaken Entry

In ancient culture, nine, as the largest singular number, represents extreme yang, great, high, extreme...

For example, in life, to describe the weight of words, one often uses "one word is as heavy as nine tripods"; people of noble status are called "nine-five supreme", because the nine-nine supreme is the emperor of mythology; the place that is difficult to reach is called the nine-layer heaven...

In numerology, nine is also respected.

Odd is yang, even is yin. Nine is the largest "yang number", and going down, nine nines return to one, and then return to the starting point and repeat again...

In symbolism, nine is also considered to be the number closest to infinity and has the highest spirituality. It also represents the highest level of spiritual energy.

Nine dragons play with pearls, and dragons give birth to nine sons...

So, when Du Xingyu saw nine waterspouts guarding, he knew that the "Dragon Palace" must be extraordinary.

However, if according to what Lin Fan and him had seen before, the directions of the waterspouts were opposite to each other, creating turbulence between two adjacent vortices to block external objects. There must be a vortex because the odd number is left alone, and no matter how it turns, it will be in the same direction as the adjacent vortex.

Before setting off, Du Xingyu mentioned this point with great excitement. He said that if this is true, the vortex that "turns in the same direction" may be a specially set empty door.

His idea is very reasonable, but Yu Sinian also expressed a different opinion. Such a difference is too obvious. As the key to breaking the formation, it may also be a trap.

Du Xingyu was unhappy, but he also knew that what he said made sense. He couldn't even find a reason to quarrel. He could only learn from Mu Jingjing, snorted coldly, turned his head away and didn't say anything.

However, Shen Xiuyuan emphasized to his junior brothers and sisters not to take risks easily, and to come back immediately after exploring the location, and to act together after everyone discussed it.

Lin Fan walked underwater.

There was no outsider, and she was very fast in the water alone.

When everyone was still running halfway, she had already explored the first point.

When she went to the second direction, she just encountered a "turning in the same direction" vortex.

She had no intention of exploring alone. Secret realms were still relatively unfamiliar to her. As a novice in Qi training, she urgently needed the experience and guidance of her predecessors.

But if she went back immediately, it would be too easy to reveal her mistakes. There was nothing to kill time around, so she simply followed this special vortex down to keep a distance and see if there was really an empty door as Du Xingyu said.

Because the direction was the same, there was no turbulence below that Lin Fan had encountered in the bubble with Erya before. Instead, it was stable and almost still. But a large amount of sediment was piled outside the "Dragon Palace", and it was impossible to see where the so-called "empty door" was.

Lin Fan had nothing to do, so he simply went around the "Dragon Palace" along the bottom of the river, along the bottom of the nine vortices.

This circle took more time than she had before. When she returned to the original position and confirmed that the one she found later was indeed the only outlier, she was ready to go back.

But the vortex, while constantly rotating, always brings down some unknown things.

Sometimes it was a shipwreck, sometimes it was a reef, and sometimes it was a person. Day after day, the accumulation led to this pile of garbage piled up outside the barrier, almost burying the "Dragon Palace".

Just as Lin Fan floated up and prepared to return, she caught a glimpse of a figure in the white bubbles of the whirlpool.

Since Lin Fan saw it, it was impossible for her to just leave. She had to go up and see if the person could be saved.

Originally thought that it would be the same as saving Arya, just grab the person out from the outside, but unexpectedly, as soon as she put her hand in, the whole person was dragged in by a huge suction force.

Lin Fan was not too panicked. She first took a look at the person in her hand. The person was swollen and there was nothing to save. Once she loosened her hand, she let the person go wherever he wanted.

The water in the whirlpool was turbulent, like a high-speed rotating washing machine.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Fan turned several 360 degrees. If she had not received flight training before, she would have vomited by now.

She adapted well, but found difficulty when trying to escape gravity. After trying several times and finding that she couldn't get out without extra power, Lin Fan simply gave up and prepared to be a wreck for a while, waiting for the whirlpool to throw her outside the Dragon Palace as sediment, and then she took the opportunity to leave to save some energy.

As a result, when she was thrown out, she found that she didn't know how to enter the "Dragon Palace"...

Looking at the glittering crystal brick wall in front of her, and behind her, pressing on the barrier, all kinds of messy sediments that seemed to be overwhelmed and about to fall...

Lin Fan stood alone on the empty crystal bricks in a daze.

Du Xingyu was right, this is an empty gate. But how did she get in?

If you say go with the flow... then what about the dead man she caught before? What about the other garbage? Why didn't they come in? Only she came in?

What did she do? I didn't do anything... I didn't even activate my spiritual power...

Lin Fan walked on the crystal brick street in disbelief, looking around, and finally confirmed that she was the only one who was transported in.

Could it be... that the prerequisite is that there must be a living person?

If this is the condition, it is indeed not easy to meet.

The airflow in the vortex is strong, and the centrifugal force is also very large. Although there is air, it is difficult to breathe. Ordinary people, even if they are good swimmers, would have been dizzy just by being thrown in like this, and if they were choked by the water, they would basically not survive until they were thrown in.

Not to mention people, even the fish in the water, I didn't see a single one come in alive.

Lin Fan walked around the barrier wall and paced the outer edge of the Dragon Palace, trying to find a way out.

She even took out the flying leaf in the bracelet and raised it to the top. She tried to get out of the small piece of light-leaking barrier that was not covered by the garbage, but was blocked by an invisible soft film as expected.

What should she do? How to get out?

Although everyone was going to come in, she couldn't pass the message to others now. Shen Xiuyuan and the others found that she was missing. Not only did they worry for nothing, but they must have spent a lot of effort to find a way to get in, right?

If there was an instant communicator like a mobile phone, it would be great...

Changtianmen has communication talismans, paper cranes for transmitting sound, etc. But those things are limited by distance and space, and their confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. There is also a certain chance of damage.

Let alone, for example, now under the barrier, these magic tools cannot penetrate the barrier. Secret information cannot rely on this kind of magic tool, which is easy to leak.

Although it seems to be a convenient and good thing to low-level cultivators, Lin Fan thinks that those are better than nothing, but they are really not that good.

Do you want to make an instant communicator?

Lin Fan thought about it. The signal network is ready, the World Tree. As for the communication principle of the mobile phone... She will think about it again.

As for now... She looked at the crystal palace that was shining brightly, like a city that never sleeps. There was no sound at all, and it was as quiet as a dead city. The door of the crystal palace was also full of door nails, which looked very majestic.

Lin Fan took two steps forward, and just as he stretched out his hand and didn't touch it, the door slowly opened backwards. Revealing the inner hall that was also shining and paved with crystal bricks.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement.

Lin Fan hesitated. Should she... go in first?

On the shore, the sky had completely darkened. The moon hung in the sky like a round disk, shining brightly on the ground and the water.

"No!" Mu Jingjing stood up suddenly, "Lin Fan must have been in trouble! I have to go find her!"
