Chapter 232: Déjà vu formation
Fang Wuxian didn't know what the formation was talking about, he took Zhang Xiaoxiao's hand and walked quickly in the thick fog, but he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity here.
Fang Wuxian knew that the familiarity came from his previous memories, and as he was able to skillfully adjust the operation of the energy around his body, he would remember some things from time to time, since he had a familiar feeling here, could it be that he had been here before?
This feeling was not strong at first, but when he and Zhang Xiaoxiao walked in the dense fog for more than two hours, not only did they not meet a teammate, but they also couldn't hear a trace of the sound that should be in the mountains and forests, he began to stop and carefully sort out the memory fragments in his mind.
Zhang Xiaoxiao's left hand held Fang Wuxie's right hand, and along the way, although Fang Wuxian also stopped to look for clues, his pulse rarely fluctuated too much, so she didn't ask anything more.
But this time the stop was different from before, Fang Wuxie's pulse was beating and fluctuating a lot, obviously finding something wrong. Zhang Xiaoxiao wondered: "What's wrong?" ”
Fang Wuxian frowned and said, "There are more and more clues, and they are becoming more and more difficult to find. I suspect that some of the clues don't really exist, or that they are all true, but the person we are tracking down is going around in circles. ”
"Ghosts hit the wall, illusions, and circles...... Zhang Xiaoxiao muttered to herself: "This may be a formation, they or we have strayed in." ”
"Formation, what is it, can you elaborate?" Fang Wuxie's brain didn't react to this word at all, maybe he didn't know what a formation was before. But this feeling of déjà vu is by no means false, so he sincerely asked Zhang Xiaoxiao for advice.
Zhang Xiaoxiao said: "In the traditional Chinese simple philosophy, heaven and earth have yin and yang, and all things have the number of five elements. And the so-called formation is to use the principle of heaven and earth yin and yang gathering and dispersion, and the five elements of all things to achieve a certain desired goal. ”
"It's like fogging on the flat ground at this time?" Fang Wuxian asked.
Zhang Xiaoxiao said "um" and paused slightly: "The fog on the flat ground is just what you see." The so-called formations have rarely been circulated now, and have even been forgotten. But you should have heard of Feng Shui, speaking of which, Feng Shui is also a kind of arrangement. If the feng shui is well arranged, it will cater to the people in the middle, yin and yang are in harmony, the five elements are born together, and the people in the center are comfortable physically and mentally, and all kinds of diseases are difficult to live. The feng shui array is not well arranged, and the yin and yang of the person in the center are not in harmony everywhere, and the five elements are restrained, even if you want not to get sick, it is difficult. ”
Hearing this, Fang Wuxian suddenly thought of his soul dementoring secret technique. When performing the Soul Dementoring Technique, the person being cast is often unable to realize what is happening, and only inexplicably feels the emotion they want to appear. At this time, he can combine Zhang Xiaoxiao's description, his own secret technique of soul dementoring, isn't it the use of sound, light, qi and other yin and yang, and the five elements to achieve the purpose of intimidating, seducing, and hypnotizing the person being administered!
Fang Wuxian asked, "Then do you understand the formation?" ”
Zhang Xiaoxiao sighed: "I've only heard from others, but I haven't really seen it." However, it is said that the human body is the heaven and the earth, and the yin and yang in the heaven and the earth are in harmony, and the five elements are mutually beneficial, and they are born with spirits. Like those of us who practice martial arts, after reaching a certain level, they will form qi in the body, and this qi energy can be regarded as the product derived from the human body's own formation. ”
Fang Wuxian had never heard such remarks, but he had heard of Qijin, and even heard and seen the "Qi Machine Circulation" from the black man Ba Bu from Reed Village, so he believed that what Zhang Xiaoxiao said was true.
He wanted to take the opportunity to ask more, but this was really not the time, and there were many teammates whose lives were uncertain, so he could only temporarily suppress his doubts and muttered: "If this is a big formation, we are all people who are trapped in the formation, so there is no danger." Is the purpose of this array just to trap us? ”
Zhang Xiaoxiao said: "It is said that there are thousands of formations in the world, and their effects are different. Although this place is in the depths of the Cloud Mountain, it is not impossible for humans to set foot on it, on the contrary, the number of people who have been in and out of this place for thousands of years must be uncountable. We have no way of knowing the previous history, but over the years, Huzhou has never heard of anyone missing here, which shows that nothing too dangerous will happen when you fall into the battle. And this time we came in with a lot of people, because we were separated, so we realized that there was something abnormal here. If a few people had traveled here, they might not have noticed anything wrong with the fog from beginning to end. ”
"Well, you have a point." Fang Wuxian admired Zhang Xiaoxiao's careful thinking, and then her words: "Since we are not in danger, those who are lost may only be temporarily lost, and maybe they have already come out of the dense fog area by going around and around. ”
"Maybe so!" Zhang Xiaoxiao let out a long sigh, these were just her speculations, and she didn't dare to assert them until she saw the results.
Fang Wuxian let go of Zhang Xiaoxiao's hand, reached out to touch the thick trunk of the tree beside him, and muttered: "Team Zhang, we only know the fur of the formation, and we can't find a reference in this fog, and we can't hear special sounds, you say, these trees, grass, soil, and stones, could they be some kind of illusion?" ”
"Illusion!" Zhang Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, bent down and broke off a piece of artemisia grass.
Fang Wuxian smiled: "How do you feel?" ”
"This ...... Is this fake? Zhang Xiaoxiao did have a piece of dead grass in her hand, but this feeling was not strong, and she didn't even smell the smell of artemisia grass in her nose.
Fang Wuxian asked: "You just bent down to fold things, but in my opinion, it is just an empty form, what is it in your eyes?" ”
"Grass, a piece of artemisia grass." Zhang Xiaoxiao could see that the artemisia grass was in her hand, but she could close her eyes to sense, and there was absolutely nothing in her hand. Throw it on the ground, and when you look for it again, the broken grass is gone, and the artemisia grass in place is still intact.
Fang Wuxian said: "Do you see that the tree in my hand is a real tree? ”
"It seems to be true." Zhang Xiaoxiao was no longer sure if the tree was real.
Fang Wuxian laughed, Zhang Xiaoxiao only felt that his heart trembled, his vision was blurred and then clear, and then he looked carefully, how could there be any trees under his palm.
Fang Wuxian grabbed Zhang Xiaoxiao's hand again, turned around and ran back: "Let's not look for them, go back and join the big army, I want to verify my guess, if it is correct, we can go straight to the core of the formation." ”
"What did you find?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked as she ran.
Fang Wuxian said: "Your grass is illusory, only you can see it, but I can't see it." But that tree is real, but just now I used some methods to influence your judgment, and the tree disappeared in your eyes. This should be what you call the formation, not all the things in the formation are fake, but we don't know how big the formation is, and it is impossible to re-identify everything from beginning to end, so as long as we are in the formation, it is difficult to find the target correctly, and we will always be affected and confused by the true and false things. ”
Zhang Xiaoxiao asked, "Then what is your guess?" ”
Fang Wuxian smiled and said, "We have been trapped in this formation for more than five hours, if we continue to go around the bend inside, I don't know what happens to you, anyway, my physical strength will not be able to hold on." If you want to get rid of the shackles of the formation, you can only jump out of the influence of the formation. ”
"Jump out of the formation effect?" Zhang Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said in surprise: "You mean that cliff?" ”
"Well," Fang Wuxian affirmed, "So far, we have not encountered any danger in this Great Formation of Mist, and according to your speculation, the Great Array may not have harmed anyone over the years. ”
"In that case, it doesn't make sense for those wolves to jump off a cliff and fall to their deaths." Zhang Xiaoxiao's mind turned very quickly, Fang Wuxian opened her mind, and she would be able to draw inferences from each other immediately.
"That's right," Fang Wuxian said happily, "Through our own circumstances, we guess that we will not encounter danger in this great array, but we will only be lost in the dense fog because of the influence of insightful objects and some illusions. Since the things in this big array are real and fake, then the cliff can be fake. If the cliff is fake, there must be an unknown gateway there. ”
Zhang Xiaoxiao asked: "But why don't you think that the wolf trail you found is fake?" ”
"That's a good question," Fang Wuxian said with a smile, "Actually, I've been constantly verifying your question all the way, and I've proven that the wolf trail is true, and just now, I tested it myself." ”
"How did you experiment?" The two of them had been walking back quickly, and Zhang Xiaoxiao really didn't know how Fang Wuxian experimented.
Fang Wuxian pulled her to stop and asked, "In front of you, are there any grass, trees, stones, or the like?" ”
Zhang Xiaoxiao was extremely eye-catching, and could barely see the road ahead: "There is a pine tree three steps away on the left, and there is a bunch of weeds under the pine tree. ”
"Pine ......" Fang Wuxian smiled playfully, pulled Zhang Xiaoxiao to the left three steps away, and under Zhang Xiaoxiao's gaze, he walked through the pine tree first.
Zhang Xiaoxiao also wanted to walk through the tree, but she pulled her fingers to touch the trunk and was blocked outside, strangely she could still feel that Fang Wuxie's half-cut palm was in her hand, "This is a real tree, I can't pass through, how did you do it?" ”
Fang Wuxian came back from the tree again, did not speak, but led her to take two more steps forward. Then he smiled and said, "You know, in my perception, you are standing in a rock at this time, but you don't feel anything, right?" ”
"Stones, where are the stones!" Zhang Xiaoxiao moved her legs, without the slightest sense of restraint.
Fang Wuxian said: "I find this formation very interesting, your feeling about nothingness comes from what your brain thinks should or shouldn't. ”
Zhang Xiaoxiao looked confused, and felt that Fang Wuxian was a little bit of a witty speech.
