2555. Chapter 2555 Route and time

When his toes touched the water surface, something strange happened. The surging river water seemed to be afraid of Ye Qing. When Ye Qing's feet fell, the river water quickly dispersed, leaving a piece of open space, just so that Ye Qing's feet fell on the open space.

"Huh?" Yelu Ying next to him was surprised to see this situation and said curiously: "Brother Ye, what's going on?"

As he said that, Yelu Ying himself stretched out his foot to step on the rushing river water next to him.

"No!" Ye Qing exclaimed, but he was still one step late after all, and Yelu Ying's kick had already fallen.

However, the situation where Yelu Ying's foot fell was completely different from that of Ye Qing. When she stepped on her foot, the surging river water did not retreat. The most important thing was that the water below the river was not real, and she stepped on the empty space.

"Oh!" Yelu Ying exclaimed, his center of gravity was unstable, and his body leaned towards the other side, and he was about to fall into the rushing river.

Fortunately, Ye Qing happened to be next to him, so he quickly reached out and grabbed Yelu Ying's arm, pulled Yelu Ying back with force, and did not let Yelu Ying fall into the water.

Yelu Ying escaped this disaster and was so scared that she looked pale. She looked at the surging river water and said, "What's going on? Why did I step on it, but the river water has not dissipated, and there is no ground yet?"

Ye Qing said: "This is the five elements water division array of Taoist sect, arranged according to the law of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements. In this formation, if you take a wrong step, you will be swallowed by the formation. The water you see now is not real water, but it can also play a role in scheming. These waters can block the open space below, making you unable to see the specific situation below. Under the water may be real ground, or abyss, or more likely to be a trap of death. Therefore, in this formation, you cannot take a wrong step!"

Yelu Ying gasped. She didn't understand these formations and other things at all. Fortunately, she came with Ye Qing this time. If it were someone else, wouldn't it be useless to come in?

"I really didn't expect that there was such a formation in the tomb of my ancestors!" Yelu Ying frowned and said, "What does the ancestor mean? If people from later generations don't understand the formation and open the tomb and come in, wouldn't they be killed by these formations?"

After a moment of silence, Ye Qing suddenly said, "Or, this ancestral tomb is not reserved for your Yelu family members!"

"What does it mean?" Yelu Ying was stunned for a moment.

Ye Qing didn't say anything, and he was still thinking about the timing. Many things he encountered recently involved the word "time", even the opening of the Yelu family's ancestral tomb. Ye Qing came here this time and happened to encounter the right time. The Yelu family's ancestral tomb was opened. In other words, when the ancestor Chen Tuan built this tomb, it was set to open it at this time. So, has the ancestor Chen Tuan already arrived, and there will be someone who knows the formation in the future that will come in?

All things involve timing. At this time, many things happened to meet by chance. For example, Ye Qing came here, Ye Qing happened to know the formation, and the Yelu family's ancestral tomb was opened at this time. Everything was like this, but Ye Qing always felt that in the dark, it seemed that someone was dominating these things?

After Ye Qing took the first step, he slowly took the second step. Follow the route of the Five Elements Water Dividing Array, he walked slowly forward.

Yelu Ying followed behind, looking nervously at the direction where Ye Qing's feet fell, and did not dare to be distracted at all. She almost encountered danger just now, and now she didn't dare to be careless at all. She stepped on the position where Ye Qing had just stepped on!

After walking about twenty steps like this, Ye Qing stopped and did not move forward any further. Yelu Ying followed behind and saw that Ye Qing stopped leaving, she said strangely: "Brother Ye, what's wrong?"

Ye Qing: "Wait for a while."

Yelu Ying looked around and said strangely: "What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for the hour." Ye Qing replied calmly.

"Waiting for the hour?" Yelu Ying was even more surprised: "When is waiting for?"

Ye Qing took out a map from his body. This map was the topographic map in the Yelu family’s ancestral tomb. Ye Qing had already kept this topographic map firmly in his heart. However, when he was outside, he didn’t know what the topographic map meant. After walking here for a while, he gradually understood the topographic map.

Yelu Ying looked at the map and asked, "Brother Ye, is this map useful?"

"It's very useful!" Ye Qing replied.

"But the road above is dead, is it still useful?" Yelu Ying paused and said, "Besides, after we came in, we have never seen the route on this topographic map. We have always been walking down the same road. This topographic map has no effect at all!"

"You are wrong!" Ye Qing shook his head, picked up the topographic map, and said, "We are now on the third line on this topographic map."

"What does it mean?" Yelu Ying stared at the map for a while, but she was still full of mist. The place she had just walked was completely inconsistent with the map, and she couldn't tell where she was on the map.

Ye Qing said: "Recalling carefully the route we took just now."

"Route?" Yelu Ying frowned and thought about it carefully for a while. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said anxiously: "Brother Ye, after you said this, I suddenly remembered. The route we took just now is somewhat similar to... the third line on this map!"

"That's right!" Ye Qing said: "This map is actually the route we will take after we come in."

"So that's it!" Although Yelu Ying understood, she was obviously surprised and pointed to the map and said, "But, this third line is a dead end. The lines above are dead ends. Is it useless to walk on this line?"

"These lines are not dead ends." Ye Qing shook his head and said, "It's just that the time has not arrived, so these lines seem to be dead ends. When the time is, these lines will be smooth!"

"Is that true?" Yelu Ying looked puzzled. She had never entered any tombs, so she naturally didn't know how exquisite it was to build a tomb by the ancients. Therefore, she still couldn't believe Ye Qing's words.

"This map is constantly changing. And you can see that there are twelve lines on this map, which should correspond to the twelve hours of a day. Each hour, one of the lines will be smooth, while the other lines will be completely closed." Ye Qing pointed to the second line on the map and said, "This is the first formation we just walked in. This line overlaps the third line. When we reached the end of the first formation, we entered the third line. However, you still remember that although we reached that position at that time, we waited there for more than an hour before the surrounding environment changed. In other words, although we have already reached the next line, we have to wait until the time before this line will be smooth!"

"This..." Yelu Ying looked at the topographic map in amazement. She couldn't understand these formations and other things at all, and she couldn't understand what Ye Qing said.

"Anyway, remember, if we want to change the route, we have to wait for an hour." Ye Qing put away the topographic map and said, "You stand behind me, just don't walk around."

Yelu Ying really didn't dare to walk around, and followed Ye Qing closely and looked at the surging rivers around her nervously. After Ye Qing's explanation, although she didn't understand anything, she felt even more panic in her heart, and always felt something strange in the cave.

After an hour and a half, the surrounding environment really changed. Originally there were surging rivers everywhere, but at this moment, the surging rivers disappeared in an instant, replaced by endless flames. The terrain around also changed instantly. It was originally a turbulent river, but now it seemed like a flaming mountain. Ye Qing and Yelu Ying were in this flaming mountain, and they could even feel the hot feeling around them.

"This...this..." Yelu Ying widened her eyes. The change was too fast, so she couldn't react at all. It was not until this moment that she believed what Ye Qing said, and she was really shocked by the wonder of this formation.

"Follow me!" Ye Qing exclaimed in a low voice and took a step forward, his steps a little anxious, which was no longer the same as before.

Yelu Ying hurriedly chased after him, and said anxiously while running: "Brother Ye, why are we running so fast? Do you have to wait any longer if you run out of this formation if you don't do it later?"

Ye Qing asked back: "Don't you feel hot?"

"Yes, why is it so hot here?" Yelu Ying then remembered this incident, wiped off the sweat beads from her face, and said anxiously: "Brother Ye, aren't you saying that these are all tricks? Why is it so hot?"

"Flame is indeed a trick, but this heat is also real." Ye Qing said in a deep voice: "This is the Nanli Fire Gathering Array. Although there is no real flame, the people who set up the array sprinkle dry powder on the ground. This dry powder will quickly release heat and cause the temperature around to rise sharply. If you don't walk out of here as soon as possible, you will feel like you are in a stove and will be roasted to death!"

"Ah?" Yelu Ying was shocked. She naturally didn't know these things. After Ye Qing's explanation, she did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly followed Ye Qing's footsteps.
