Chapter Forty-Eight: The Nine Palaces Bloody Flying Star Array

Gao Jie's sudden scream, with a woman's unique penetrating edge, pierced everyone's ears and buzzed. Especially Lu Xiao, who was closest to her, was the first to bear the brunt.

Lu Xiao smiled bitterly and rubbed his ears that had just been ravaged, and looked at Gao Jie's gaze.

I saw that more than ten meters in front of me, there were more than a dozen skeletons scattered around. Judging from the decayed clothes, these people should be some tomb robbers in recent times.

However, to Lu Xiao's surprise, judging from the direction of their bones, they were all in the direction of the cave entrance, with their heads forward and their hands stretched forward, as if there was something chasing behind. And they didn't have any gold or silver artifacts around them, so they didn't seem to have succeeded.

Lu Xiao patted Gao Jie, who was holding his arm tightly, and comforted, "Don't be afraid!" It's just bones! ”

However, with the slight movement of Lu Xiao's body, the arm that was tightly held by Gao Jie rubbed Gao Jie's soft and towering parts back and forth a few times.

seemed to feel something, and Gao Jie's little face turned red and transparent. I don't know if it was shyness or Lu Xiao's words played a role, Gao Jie at this time quieted down.

The inside of the tomb was very spacious, and a total of ten bodyguards formed a circle, protecting Lu Xiao and the three of them in the middle, and slowly walked forward.

Everywhere I passed, I saw the bones of some people from time to time. As before, the skull is driven in the direction of the hole.

The crowd walked for about an hour while exploring the walls along the way before finally reaching the end of the ancient tomb.

It's just that everyone, including Rodriguez, gasped! Even Lu Xiao frowned.

In front of them was a circular open space that could be described as a square, with a vast area, and the ground was paved with fine marble, and the marble was carved with exquisite patterns. In the middle of the circular square, there is a sarcophagus, which is carved with various lifelike images of people or beasts, as well as incomprehensible patterns.

The sarcophagus is surrounded by eight slightly smaller sarcophagi, but there are some female stone carvings such as cranes and flowers. It seems that the eight small sarcophagi on the periphery are all female sarcophagi. And they are placed around the main sarcophagus in the direction of the gossip eight gates.

Moreover, the heads of the eight female sarcophagi are all facing the main sarcophagus in the middle.

In these respects, although the layout and placement of the sarcophagus give people a sense of grandeur, it cannot be so shocking to people like Rodriguez who have seen the big scene.

The reason why everyone gasped was that around the sarcophagus of eight smaller mouths, there was a circle of coffin moats that were a little deeper and about 5 meters wide, and inside, there were densely packed with bones of various people and animals.

The moment they saw such a scene, the word 'mass grave' came to everyone's minds!

At this time, only Lu Xiao, who was standing in the center of the team, frowned.

Others were attracted to the bones in the pit, the spectacle of the spectacle. What Lu Xiao thought of was the placement of a total of nine sarcophagi.

If Lu Xiao did not admit his mistake, and what was recorded in the word 'array' in the first half of the Book of Heavenly Machines was not wrong, then what the sarcophagus in front of him was a set of long-lost, tragic and bloody formations-the Nine Palaces Bloody Flying Star Array.

According to the records in the Book of Heavenly Machines, this Nine Palaces Blood Flying Star Array is arranged in the direction of the Nine Palaces, with the Middle Palace as the head, and the eight directions come to congratulate. Use the blood of thousands of animals to suppress and preserve your luck, so that future generations can be happy and healthy.

But such an act will inevitably produce a huge bloody and evil spirit.

This is why, the opened talisman that Lu Xiao placed at the entrance of the cave was eroded by the evil qi in a short period of time, turned into powder, and disappeared into the wind.

It's just that the reason why this set of formations is only recorded in the Book of Heavenly Machines, but it has not been widely spread among other metaphysical sects, is precisely because it is too murderous and harmful.

And today, in the process of simply looking for elixir for people, he was able to encounter the legendary formation. Lu Xiao didn't know whether he should be surprised or sad for the creatures in the pit.

Moreover, judging from the Nine Palaces Blood Flying Star Array, the Nine Palace Arrays that were placed like this, the owner of this tomb also seems to have an unusual identity, not just a rich and noble person.

In the general nine-palace array, the coffins are all in three rows or horizontally or vertically, in one direction, and they are mainly the first one on the left in the first row.

But the formation in front of me is to place the position representing the number five, and place the main coffin, counting nine as five, taking the meaning of ninety-five supreme. If the owner of this mausoleum is not an ancient emperor, then his ambition is not small!

Just as Lu Xiao was pondering, the others were shocked. A group of bodyguards cleaned up their minds and searched carefully around the circular square, but they did not find even a trace of the three-color lotus, or some other mechanism.

At this time, Lu Xiao was also thinking about this problem.

He is not a professional tomb robber or archaeologist, but he knows a little about some cemeteries.

A fierce and ruthless person like this who dares to use the blood of ten thousand people and thousands of animals to place the Nine Palaces Blood Flying Star Array will inevitably have many enemies. And in order to prevent the enemy from ruining his plans, the owner of this tomb may have used a trick.

Therefore, according to Lu Xiao's inference, this tomb is likely to be a tomb within a tomb.

If Lu Xiao's inference was correct, after searching everywhere along the way, and there were no anomalies or mechanisms, then the entrance to the hidden tomb within the tomb was exactly where the eye of the Nine Palaces Blood Flying Star Array was located, the largest main sarcophagus.

It's just that I have seen the remains of so many tomb robbers along the way, but the nine sarcophagi can still be intact and not opened, to say that there are no traps around the sarcophagus in front of them, even a curious woman like Gao Jie outside the door doesn't believe it.

Moreover, the bodies of the tomb robbers did not fall next to the sarcophagus, but near the entrance of the cave, and in the direction of the outward, as if they had seen some great horror, and ran for their lives.

But what is the reason for them to be like this?

However, since he has seen the legendary Nine Palaces Blood Demon Flying Star Array, with Lu Xiao's attainments in feng shui, of course, he has some itchy skills and wants to try to break the formation. And this time it's to save the life of a kind girl.

So Lu Xiao fearlessly signaled to everyone not to follow. Then he walked from the eight corresponding to the eight smaller sarcophagi, across the road erected by the coffin moat, and stepped step by step into the formation of the Nine Palaces Blood Flying Star Array.

However, when Lu Xiao had just stepped into the formation, Rodriguez and the others, who were standing on the periphery, were shocked to find that Lu Xiao, who should have been less than 10 meters away from them, had disappeared out of thin air.

They all widened their eyes and looked ahead with some horror, not knowing why Lu Xiao suddenly disappeared.

Where is Lu Xiao? In fact, after he stepped into the formation, he stood in place and did not move. It's just that because of this set of formations, just like the refraction and reflection of light, everyone on the periphery can't see Lu Xiao standing there motionless.

Lu Xiao, who had just stepped into the formation, was filled with a crimson light in his eyes. As far as the eye can see, the blood-red mist formed by blood obscures the sky and the sun, and even the breath can feel the salty taste.

In the mist, there are still a lot of disgusting people who are missing arms and legs, and they look extremely miserable. They lacked eyes, dragged their intestines, and rushed towards Lu Xiao with their weapons and claws.

If ordinary people suddenly encounter such a thing, it is not bad if they are not scared and faint. But for Lu Xiao, the things that appeared in front of him could only make him smile disdainfully.

Because this is just an illusion produced by this great array, to put it bluntly, it is a kind of trick.

I saw Lu Xiao at this time, he closed his eyes very indifferently, but he stepped on the seven-star step under his feet, and the whole person was like a phantom, following a route similar to the shape of the Big Dipper Seven Star Spoon, ghostly moving forward.

It seemed like a momentary feeling, and I came to the side of a small sarcophagus.

It was only at this time that Lu Xiao slowly opened his eyes.

At this time, the sight of the eyes has been restored to a clear place.

The Nine Palaces Blood Flying Star Array is arranged in the direction of the Nine Palaces.

If you want to break the formation, you must be the number represented by the single nine arrays of the nine-square grid to which the array belongs, and add them up to get the same number in the three columns of horizontal, vertical, and oblique.

For example, most people have played the problem of nine-square grid when they were in school, that is, they put the number five in the middle, so that each horizontal, vertical, and oblique column adds up to get fifteen.

The question of numbers is simple, and it is located in the center of the eye of the Nine Palaces Blood Flying Star Array, and the main sarcophagus has been determined to represent the number five. But the most difficult thing to judge in front of you is the eight smaller sarcophagi representing women on the periphery, the numbers they represent and the direction in which they are placed.

Afterwards, Lu Xiao still walked on the seven-star step, sparing a circle along the periphery of the eight sarcophagi, carefully observing the difference between each sarcophagus.

In Lu Xiao's sharp eyes, he finally discovered the subtleties of these eight sarcophagi.

Take the sarcophagus next to Lu Xiao now, in addition to some beautiful animals, there is also a kapok carved on it. And the next sarcophagus, with a tulip on it.

Originally, the sarcophagus was carved with many animals and plants, and such an inconspicuous flower is difficult to find. But Lu Xiao has been well-read since he was a child, and his vision is also very unique, and he discovered the mystery in just one turn.

Subsequently, Lu Xiao found the flowers with five elements in their names such as daffodils, flame meadowsweets, and tuding osmanthus engraved on them from several other sarcophagi.

Subsequently, Lu Xiao used this five elements as the benchmark, according to the first half of the Tianji Book of the word 'array', according to the Tiansheng water in the north, the earth and the second fire in the south, and the three heavens and wood in the east, and other directions, the five elements were converted into numbers and directions.

At this time, Lu Xiao, because of the obstacle of the formation on the periphery, others couldn't see him at all, so he didn't hesitate to slap his palm on the sarcophagus engraved with daffodils.

The entire sarcophagus was shaken, and everyone standing on the periphery seemed to feel the ground shaking.

At this time, the sarcophagus weighing one and a half tons, like a light ball, instantly slashed to the north with the head of the central main sarcophagus as the standard, indicating the number one.

In this way, under Lu Xiao's constant palm strokes and movements, the sarcophagi on the periphery of the eight mouths were all changed places.

Just after the last sarcophagus was placed in the designated place by Lu Xiao, there was a loud rumbling sound, as if there was an earthquake, and everyone in the periphery Gao Jie and Rodriguez were shaken by the shock, for fear that the roof of the cave would collapse and bury them alive here.

At this time, the eight sarcophagi on the periphery unexpectedly descended slowly until the top of the sarcophagus and the ground in the formation formed a horizontal line.

And just when Lu Xiao was relieved, he only heard the sound of clicking, and the lid of the main sarcophagus in the center of the formation was slowly opened by itself, and as the coffin lid moved, a piece of golden light actually emerged from the coffin......
