Shangguan Jin touched around and couldn't help but exclaim: "Every decoration here is rare in the world. Any one is enough for the outside world to pass through several lifetimes. However... all the decorations here maintain an antique charm. Moreover, the seemingly simple arrangement actually contains the wisdom of the ancients, and the reflection of Feng Shui magic is faintly revealed."

The master nodded slightly: "I guess no one has lived here for a long time. This is the sixth floor of the Immortal Tuo Pagoda. Our hope for this trip is placed on the last two floors. However, the previous lesson has told us that no matter which floor we are on, we must always be vigilant and never take it lightly."

"Um."

I agreed and said, "Master, let's go out and see what this sixth floor looks like."

When I walked out of the door, there was an arch bridge in front. Looking up, I could see a faint moonlight through a thin crack in the rocks. Under the arch bridge, there was a gurgling water, and the white clouds lingered under the bridge, making people feel a little dazed, as if they had walked into a fairyland.

Soon, we walked into a huge palace with towering palaces, surrounded by majestic palaces, carved beams and painted roads, magnificent, with huge stone pillars more than ten feet high. A golden dragon was coiled on them, with supreme domineering aura.

"The Halls of Treasures... Master, this place is the Halls of Treasures."

I stared at the plaque on it in a daze. The three eye-catching big words deeply shook my heart. The Hall of Treasures... Since it is the Hall of Treasures, there must be countless rare treasures here, and the treasures of Maoshan Sect that are the mountain-keeping treasures.

The master's face changed slightly, and he said, "Why can't I see a treasure in the temple?"

I quickly walked to the center of the Treasure Hall, but saw two stone doors on both sides, and each stone door exuded a white aura, just like the arch bridge I saw before, with the clouds and white aura. Seeing this, we wiped out the haze in our hearts. Without guessing, we must have hidden the so-called Treasures in those four gates.

The master did not rush to touch the four stone gates, but walked slowly to the platform, looking at something solemnly. I couldn't understand what the master's reaction was. I couldn't bear it and immediately rushed to the two stone gates on the left with Shangguan Jin and Guiwa.

Above the first stone gate, the "Qinglong Pavilion" is engraved, and above the second stone gate, the "Xuanwu Pavilion" is engraved. In this way, the two stone gates on the other side must be "Surf Bird" and "White Tiger".

Unable to hide the excitement in our hearts, the three of us first leaned over to the door of Qinglong Pavilion. Looking around, we all opened our mouths in shock. We saw that the huge space inside was filled with piles of ancient books, including a desk and an oil lamp, which looked like a study room, but this study room... was too scary.

"For so many Taoist scriptures, I believe there must be the last treasure we are looking for. Why don't we go in and take a look."

Shangguan Jin looked inquiring, but in fact his feet had already moved, but before he could finish his words, he had already walked in. Guiwa and I looked at each other and followed them one after another.

"Slow down."

The master's voice suddenly came from behind me. I hurriedly turned around and saw the master rushing over with horror, and then shouted: "Don't go in,."

"Uh..." I frowned. Why didn't the master let us in? But here...

"Master."

He suddenly turned around and saw that there were books around him, only a piece of gray and endless void. Shangguan Jin stared at a figure in the distance and shouted in a trembling voice.

"Senior brother, what is this place? Why did everything become different after we came in?"

The ghost kid hid behind me in panic. I immediately remembered what my master had just said and looked back quickly. But... but there was still a gray area behind me, and there was no shadow of the stone gate. Master... Master must have seen something. Alas, it's all my fault for being too reckless. Maybe there is another trap here...

By the way, what about Shangguan Jin.

Just now he seemed to have seen his master Gutan. Could it be that Gutan is also here?

Looking at Shangguan Jin again, he was walking step by step towards the place covered by fog in front of him, muttering "Master". I looked in the direction where Shangguan Jin was. Sure enough, in the situation that seemed like flying sand and stones, a figure was quietly sitting cross-legged. So familiar, who else could it be if it was not the Exoteric Sect's Gutan.

However, why did Gutan appear here? He was clearly trapped inside on the first floor, so how did he come to the sixth floor? I believe that Master is right. There must be another passage in this Xiantuo Pagoda that we don’t know about.

"Don't come here."

Suddenly, the figure in the gray fog shouted loudly to Shangguan Jin, and turned to say, "Why did you break into this place? Alas."

Shangguan Jin immediately paused and said anxiously: "Master, you...what is wrong with you?"

After a while, Gu Tan said lightly: "I am trapped in this formation and unable to escape. Unexpectedly, you guys walked in by chance. By the way, what about your uncle Yang, why didn't he come in together?"

Shangguan Jin said: "Uncle Yang is still outside, but the three of us couldn't help but walk in curiously. We thought we would find the last treasure to maintain the mountain, but we didn't expect... we didn't expect that this was an illusion derived from a formation. Master, you... are you okay?"

Gu Tan hesitated for a moment, as if he was struggling hard, then snorted angrily and said, "I can't die. Since Yang Yuanshan has not come in, he must have seen the mystery of this formation. Now we are all trapped, and all hope is on him."

Shangguan Jin looked around in surprise and asked, "Master, what kind of formation is there? Why can't the disciple see where the formation eyes are?"

Gu Tan seemed not to want to say more, but after a while, he still spoke: "This is the Heaven-Punishing Array. The eyes of the formation are four places, respectively on the spirits of the four ancient ferocious beasts. This formation is also formed by the fusion of the spirits of the four ferocious beasts. It is so difficult to break the formation... But I have already thought of the method of breaking the formation, but unfortunately I am no longer able to use it now, so I can only wait for Yang Yuanshan to break the formation."

"Is the spirit of the four ferocious beasts the names engraved on the four stone gates we saw before?"

I couldn't help but interrupt and came to Shangguan Jin and stared at Gu Tan in shock. Although I couldn't see his face clearly, I could vaguely see that he seemed to be tortured by this Heaven-Punishing Formation and was much thinner. As for his face, he looked like he was a few decades older...

"The green dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, black trunk, no, isn't that auspicious beast that is in charge of all directions?"

Shangguan Jin asked in confusion, not only me, but even he thought it was strange. If it were anything else, it would be easy to understand, but the four beasts of Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise are definitely not ferocious beasts, and there is no doubt about this.

"Hmph." Gu Tan snorted coldly and said, "Of course it is not as simple as you thought. The four ancient beasts are the essence of Sanmiao, Huando, Gonggong, and Gun. Even if they do not have their true bodies, their essence is enough to fight against gods and demons. The formation of the Heaven-Pursuing Array formed by the fusion can imprison all things in the world, and even a state of no return."
