Chapter 390: Eight Formations

As soon as I entered the entrance of the cave, a chill came up, and Mu Xiu reminded An Xiangfei and I to pay attention to safety. As the steps slowly walked down, one step or two steps was still twenty-four. As soon as I landed, I felt that the vision in front of me was broadened. I couldn't help but feel a lot more soothed.

Looking ahead, I saw that the bottom layer was incomparably wide and bright, and the stone walls were plastered with glutinous rice and white plaster, and the top was filled with murals one after another. From war scenes to court life, from horseback riding to farming and autumn harvest, from eating, drinking and merrymaking to studying sages. It almost completely encompasses the entire social scene at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the colorful murals in front of you, there are sparkling lights everywhere. All of them opened the eyes of the three of us, although there have been many large tombs, but it is the first time that the three of us are so surprised.

Walking along the flat ground paved with bluestone slabs under my feet, I passed a few curtains from time to time, and with a yin wind, there was still a pale blue smoke rising from a few huge incense burners. Looking at the amazement in front of us, our heartbeats gradually accelerated, knowing that it is not a good thing to have such a landscape in this thousand-year-old tomb.

Following the mural in front of me step by step, suddenly rows of long lights appeared on the ground, and at this time they were still flickering, facing the long lights in front of us, the three of us were really confused at this time. After looking carefully for a long time, I found that these ever-bright lamps constituted a gossip map.

"It seems that this old man Liu Bowen is going to test us." An Xiangfei pointed to the gossip map in front of him and said with a smile. To be honest, what makes me wonder the most is that this Liu Bowen's tomb is completely different from the one we were scared of before, all the tombs in the past were either gloomy or had all kinds of demons and monsters, but since stepping into this tomb, it has always given people a sense of majesty and solemnity, and there are no ghosts and monsters at all. Looking at the entire tomb, it looks like a dojo of a high-ranking person, which looks mysterious and unpredictable, giving people a sense of sacredness and peculiarity.

As far as the gossip diagram in front of me is concerned, it is indeed a gossip diagram at first glance, but when I look closely, I find that it is an eight-array diagram. If you can't get out of this array, then it is possible to be trapped in it by the yin and yang two winds inside, and this eight arrays can be described as a legendary military book formation in ancient times, according to the records of ancient books, these eight arrays are from Taihao Fuxi to Luo Shu Tu developed the day after tomorrow Luo Shu Eight Arrays, and the original application to the battlefield and carried forward is Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period.

Legend has it that when Zhuge Kongming resisted the enemy, he piled up stones into a stone formation, and was divided into life, wounded, rest, Du, Jing, death, shock, and open eight doors according to Dunjia, which changed all over the world, and could block 100,000 elite soldiers. This is a military drill and combat formation composed of eight formations: heaven, earth, wind, clouds, dragons, tigers, birds, and snakes.

According to the records of recent years, recently, Mi County, Henan Province discovered a set of China's earliest "Eight Formations of War Map after the Wind". The picture is divided into nine pieces, one is the main picture of eight formations, and the other eight are eight formations, namely: the sky covering the array, the ground carrying array, the wind lifting array, the cloud hanging array, the dragon flying array, the tiger wing array, the bird flying array, and the snake pan array. A caption is attached to the diagram, detailing the tactical application of each formation to attack and retreat in a special environment. According to the "Historical Records", the queen of the wind was a member of the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor. The Tang Dynasty military strategist and Changzhou Thorn Shi Dugu and the stele of "Yunyan Guanfeng Hou Eight Arrays" of the relics of Yunyan Guanguan in Mi County record in detail the deeds of the Yellow Emperor and Fenghou in researching and creating the "Eight Arrays".

The discovery of this diagram has advanced the history of China's eight formations of the art of war by 2,500 years. On the basis of this original reason, Zhuge Liang of later generations created a new Eight Array Diagram.

The "Eight Arrays" created by Zhuge Liang absorbed the permutations and combinations of Jingtian and Taoist Bagua, which was compatible with astronomy and geography, and was a rare combat formation in ancient times. The "Genealogy of the Zhuge Family" of the Prudent Hall contains the poems and hymns of "Eight Arrays of Skillful Use of Treasures and Fame into Eight Arrays".

Moreover, each formation has a detailed description and record, which can be described as all-encompassing, and the specific records are as follows.

The composition of the "Eight Arrays" is to use the four places of Qiankun Xungen, as the main array of heaven and earth, as the main soldier. The northwest is dry land, and the dry is the heavenly array. The southwest is Kundi, and Kun is the ground array. The southeast is the Xundwelling, and the Xunzi is the wind gust. The northeast is the Genju, the Gen is the mountain, the mountains and rivers are out of the clouds, the cloud array, and the water, fire, gold and wood are the dragons, tigers, birds and snakes and the four strange arrays, as the odd soldiers. The array is the green dragon (array) on the left, the white tiger (array) on the right, the Vermilion Bird (array) in front, and the Xuanwu snake (array) in the back. Eight formations are also distributed in the general formation, the total formation is 8864 formations, plus 24 guerrilla formations. There are thirty-two formations of yin and yang, twenty-four formations of yang, and twenty-four formations of yin. There are 24 formations of guerrillas, and after 60 formations, all marches, formations, joint battles, doubts, filling vacancies, and logistics are all in the guerrillas.

There are hymns to praise the power of the "Eight Formations": "The formation between the formations, the formation between the teams; The former is the last, and the latter is the first; There is no fast running, no retreat and no reluctance; Four heads and eight tails, with the first touch; The enemy rushed into it, and both ends were saved; Odd and positive are born together, and the cycle is unprovoked; The beginning and the end are corresponding, and the mystery is unpredictable; Anticipate things like a god, and respond to changes on the spot. "The method of eight formations, in one formation, two formations obey each other, one battle and one defense; Chinese and foreign weight, rigid and soft joints, each other virtual and real, host and guest succession, longitude and latitude changes, because of the base, odd cause of the breakthrough, multi-cause interaction, logistics guarantee.
