Chapter 97: Bagua Formation

Bagua is divided into innate gossip and acquired gossip.

The congenital gossip is also called Fuxi gossip, and it is rumored that Fuxi painted gossip in the hexagram Taishan. It is recorded in "Zhou Yi Hexagram Biography": Heaven and earth are positioned, mountains and rivers are ventilated, thunder and wind are thin, and water and fire do not shoot each other. The gossip is wrong, the number of the past is smooth, and the person who knows the future is reversed, so it is easy to reverse the number.

The so-called acquired gossip is also called King Wen gossip, which is rumored to be painted by King Wen of Zhou, the holy monarch of the Zhou Dynasty, and King Wen of Zhou was trapped in prison by King Wen of Zhou to draw "Zhou Yi", which is the acquired gossip that has been circulated in later generations. Sima Qian contained in the "Book of Reporting to Ren'an": King Wen detained and played Zhou Yi.

The eight trigrams are divided into: Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui, representing eight directions.

The formation derived from imprisoning the opponent with the change of direction and movement is the Bagua Array. The Bagua Array, also known as the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, changes endlessly over and over again. It is generally used in the military, and the two armies are facing each other. Having almost never studied gossip, Zhou Chen couldn't understand why he had a feeling of being extremely familiar with the gossip array in front of him. It seemed that a force drove him step by step towards the infinite killing formation.

After stepping into the formation in just half a step, Zhou Chen stopped, looking at the strange and unpredictable formation in front of him with a solemn face.

Tried to see what was inside the sarcophagus, but the sarcophagus was covered and couldn't be seen.

Get in.

Get in.

It seemed to summon from the depths of his heart, allowing Zhou Chen to enter the formation and open the sarcophagus.

Feeling that his mind was confused, Zhou Chen immediately closed his eyes, collected his mind, and kept himself awake. After a few breaths, he barely suppressed the urge to step into the formation.

"It's weird." Zhou Chen breathed a long sigh of relief and muttered to himself.

His heart was very entangled, he knew that both the formation and the sarcophagus besieged by the formation contained great dangers; The idea of accessibility kept bombarding my mind, as if something in it was calling me.

Crises, dangers and opportunities coexist. I want to see what the hell is inside, it has such charm.

Zhou Chen was not a procrastinator, but now he has made up his mind and stepped into the formation; As soon as his body entered the formation, Zhou Chen had the feeling of being in a strange scene, as if he could feel that the original formation had shifted. I have never been in contact with the gossip formation, but I have also heard that the gossip formation is unpredictable. Zhou Chen immediately took out the dagger from his waist and put it on his chest, and cautiously approached the sarcophagus.

Being in the formation, Zhou Chen felt like he was walking on thin ice, his spirit was concentrated to the extreme, and he was extremely cautious every time he landed.

Unknown dangers are often more powerful than breaking people's will.

Approaching the sarcophagus step by step, Zhou Chen's wheezing voice was obviously much heavier, and his palms, which had never sweated due to physical problems, were a little sticky at this time; Because of the nervousness, the strength of the hand increased a few points, because of the sweat, the palm of the hand rubbed against the dagger to make a 'sizzling' sound.

Three steps.

Two steps.

One-step.

Every time I took a step closer to the sarcophagus, I seemed to experience an unprecedented spiritual impact, and finally walked to the sarcophagus; Not feeling the crisis in the gossip array, a miserable smile appeared on Zhou Chen's slightly pale face, so concentrated, extremely draining, it was even more exhausting than a fight.

Gently inserting the dagger into the part between the sarcophagus and the sarcophagus lid, Zhou Chen exerted a slight force, and the heavy sarcophagus lid made a muffled "bang" sound, separated from the sarcophagus, revealing a gap.

Zhou Chen looked slightly, just through that slight gap, Zhou Chen could vaguely see the situation inside, there was a corpse lying in the sarcophagus. On the surface, the corpse must have been over sixty years old, with a withered complexion, dry skin like wood, and a pair of tightly closed eyes bulging like dead fish eyes.

It's just that why was such an ordinary old man put into the sarcophagus and even arranged a gossip array?

If you make a vision, there will be demons.

This is by no means simple.

Zhou Chen used a slight force to slowly remove the lid of the sarcophagus from the sarcophagus, and saw the scene inside the sarcophagus at a glance. The deceased old man was dressed in a rough Hanfu and looked like he was at most 1.7 meters, with a pair of black cloth shoes under his feet. What is even more conspicuous is that there is a gossip bronze mirror on his chest.

The Bagua Mirror, also known as the Nine Palaces Bagua Mirror, is a magic weapon used by Feng Shui masters to dispel evil qi. An even more mysterious rumor is that the gossip mirror can illuminate ghosts and demons, which is very similar to the demon mirror in mythological novels.

But why is the gossip mirror on this old man?

Could it be that the old man loved it very much during his lifetime, and he was buried with him after death?

Most likely.

In addition, there was nothing in the sarcophagus, Zhou Chen was not a person who loved money, not to mention guessing that this gossip mirror might be the funeral goods of the deceased old man, so he naturally would not take it for himself, bowed to the deceased old man in the sarcophagus, and said apologetically: "Disturb the seniors." ”

After saying that, he planned to change the sarcophagus lid back on. As soon as he picked up the sarcophagus lid and wanted to cover the sarcophagus, suddenly, Zhou Chen felt a tremor under his feet, and when he looked around, he saw that the direction in the gossip array was constantly changing, and the stones under his feet were moving and changing like a palace grid that had been played with, extremely fast.

"Boom"

A muffled sound came from behind him, and Zhou Chen immediately turned around to look, only to see that the sarcophagus was shaking.

Because there were several stones under the sarcophagus, it shook so much that the stones could not keep the sarcophagus balanced, and pressed towards Zhou Chen. Looking at the sarcophagus pressing towards him, Zhou Chen's expression was slightly flustered, but his steps were not messy, he immediately threw out the sarcophagus cover he was holding, and his body jumped back quickly.

The sarcophagus was turned over directly, and the deceased elderly people inside and the gossip bronze mirror were thrown out.

After all, it was his own intrusion that caused the Bagua Array to activate and disturbed the deceased old man, how could Zhou Chen watch his bones being destroyed and reach out to grab the deceased old man's shoulder.

"Whew"

Not to let the body of the deceased old man fall to the ground, Zhou Chen breathed a long sigh of relief, and just looked back, only to see the old man who had died suddenly opened his eyes. Those eyes almost bulged out, extremely terrifying, and the "he" who was grabbed by Zhou Chen did not move, but just stared at Zhou Chen with gloomy eyes, and let out a strange cry of "Bang". Immediately, the mouth was cracked, revealing two rows of missing teeth, and it bit hard at Zhou Chen's legs.

I didn't expect the deceased old man to be alive at all, and he attacked with his mouth, Zhou Chen suddenly panicked, but fortunately, he immediately recovered and withdrew his leg to the side. Dodging this ferocious bite, he stepped back without hesitation, staring coldly at the ghost-like old man with cold eyes.

"It's been fifty years, and the old man has finally come out. Zhou Tiandao, when you suppressed the soul of the old man, didn't the old man be reborn again! suppressed the enmity for fifty years, and the old man will definitely break your body into pieces. ”

The old man made a sound like iron tools rubbing against each other, full of endless killing intent, which was extremely uncomfortable; Zhou Chen looked at each other intently and did not move.

"Boy, you can actually activate the gossip array, you are the Zhou family?" After some ecstasy, the old man's eyes fell on Zhou Chen's body and asked coldly.
