Chapter 118: Formation
Yan Shibai frowned, rubbing the hard stubble with his hand, secretly thinking in his heart.
After a while, he smiled coldly and ordered: "Safety first, but I don't fight for this night's time." ”
"Let's go to your place to rest tonight, tomorrow at dawn, we will go in again, you think about their patrol route in the early morning, and we can also set the direction of going in."
"Yes, the little head leads the way, and you follow closely, sir." Xu Zhanming was obviously obedient to Yan Eighteen, and he didn't see him ask more than half a word, so he asked Yan Eighteen for a thousand on the spot.
Then he turned around and led the way, except for glancing at Yan Eighteen when he spoke, others didn't even have a superfluous look, this cold and lonely person really didn't match his status as a minion.
Meng Zelang now respects Qi Xuanhui the most, and when he saw that someone was disrespectful to his master, he immediately felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Twisting his face to look at Qi Xuanhui, he secretly thought that the master was also displeased, so he would definitely make this person look good.
Who knew that Qi Xuanhui was also looking at him, but seeing this person shaking his head at him slightly, his eyes quickly glanced at Xu Zhanming's back, but he signaled him to follow quickly.
Seeing this, Meng Zelang could only suppress the fire in his stomach, gritted his teeth and commanded his subordinates to protect Qi Xuanhui and others in the middle, and followed Yan Eighteen masters and servants to the darkness.
In the dark, and not daring to light torches, the group turned around with limited vision, and walked for about two quarters of an hour before they came to the root of a mountain.
Due to the proximity to the roots of the mountain, the number of trees is relatively small. Finally able to have moonlight illuminated, Qi Xuanhui took the opportunity to take advantage of the long-lost moonlight to look around.
Looking at this big circle except for the tree, it is a tree, which is no different from the old forest that has been walking for four days, and I can't help but wonder a little in my heart, "Could it be that this person is sleeping under the root of the mountain?" ”
"Impossible"
"The target is too obvious, don't say it, what if it rains? What about winter? ”
Just when he was puzzled, he saw that Xu Zhanming didn't know where he pressed it, and a small hole appeared on the mountain wall.
Go inside and have a look. It's a fairly spacious cave. However, as soon as the two dozen or so old men entered, they immediately became crowded.
The cave is not natural, as can be seen from the chisel marks in the cave, it was dug by hand. There is a wooden bed in the cave. There are also tables and chairs. Leaning on the outermost, there is also a simple stone stove.
There aren't many things, but they're well organized. It can be seen that this Xu Zhanming is also a careful person.
Asked Qi Xuanhui and them to sit down and rest, Meng Zelang took the initiative to bring someone to help Xu Zhanming cook, because there was a pot stove, but they had a hot meal.
After finishing the meal when he was young, Yan Shibai boiled some hot water, brewed the tea leaves he brought with him, and invited Qi Xuanhui and them to drink.
After walking hard in the mountains for several days, he suddenly drank hot tea that he had not seen for a long time, and Master Ran couldn't help but smile and sighed: "Alas, drinking tea at this time makes me feel that it is precious, and it can be seen that what is easy is not likely to be cherished." ”
Qi Xuanhui shook his head and chuckled, looked at Yan Eighteen and said, "If Mr. has something to say, let's listen to it." ”
Yan Eighteen does have something to explain, but there will still be people helping Xu Zhanming clean up the things on the stove, and they have to wait.
"Childe, please drink tea first, and when Xiao Xu and them come over, let's start again."
After the tea, the busy people also sat down against the wall, Yan Shibai cleared his throat and spoke: "Childe, gentlemen, brothers, those who can sit here at this moment must be trustworthy people, there are some things that must be said now, please listen patiently." ”
When Qi Xuanhui heard this, his eyes couldn't help but sweep towards Yuan Quan and the others, can he fully trust them?
"If they can't be sure, then when they leave the mountain, they can only stay forever"
Meng Zelang saw Qi Xuanhui's expression, his heart sank, and he lowered his head and rubbed the wooden teacup, as if he was secretly thinking about something.
Yan 18 continued: "The place we are going to tomorrow is protected by formations, and as far as I know, Mr. Han Ning is also involved in formations, and I will tell you the formations in detail later." ”
"Let's divide into three groups tomorrow, in the next, Mr. Han Ning, Xiao Xu will each bring one group, in case you get separated in the formation, the three of us can also take you out of the battle smoothly."
As Qi Xuanhui thought, the formation is Yan Eighteen's strength, yes, it's not strange, it's not weird if you don't.
Looking at Yan Shibai and Mr. Han Ning on the table, writing and drawing, one asking questions and the other answering, it seems to be very harmonious.
Meng Zelang said softly: "Childe, the hot water over there has already been boiled, you can make do with it and rest early." ”
Probably because the night before, Yan Shibai said the formation to Mr. Han Ning without reservation, and there were no major problems in the next day's actions.
The formation laid out by Yan Eighteen was mainly to protect the secret, and he skillfully used the big trees around him, and transplanted some small trees as needed.
According to what Han Ning said to Qi Xuanhui, "This is a Yin and Yang Bagua Array hidden in the Lost Trace Array, and if someone who doesn't understand comes in, then they can only be trapped and die inside." ”
"And when people who understand come in, they will only think that it is a simple maze array, who knows that there is also a yin and yang gossip array?
"It is estimated that when they see the Yin and Yang Bagua Array, they will not be far from death."
When he said this, Han Ning's face was really like this, and it seemed that this person also knew why Xuanping Hou had to ask for this person.
The formation comes and goes, that is, those that have been passed down from ancient times to today, because of their complexity, there are very few innovations, and it is simply rare for Yan Eighteen to be able to use the formation so flexibly.
The most important thing is that since he can set up the formation, isn't it also very simple to break the formation?
Yan Eighteen is a double-edged sword for Xuanping Hou
As long as you know how to go in this formation, it is very fast to go out, compared with the bamboo forest in Wanshan, it is not particularly big here, and it took half an hour before and after.
Come out and take a look, okay, there is a steep mountain wall in front, needless to say, since you can't go up, then the entrance must still be on the wall.
"Is this going through the mountain, or is it going into the belly of the mountain?" Qi Xuanhui thought to himself, "It's impossible to take us directly into the mausoleum, right?" ”
If it is really directly brought into the mausoleum of the Marquis of Xuanping, then Yan Eighteen is too violent, it is estimated that this possibility is very small, eighty percent should be nearby, there is a hidden surveillance place.
It turns out that Qi Xuanhui was right, the entrance is a secret door on the mountain wall, but this secret door is smaller than yesterday's one, and it is much more hidden.
If it hadn't been opened in front of them, there would have been no way to see a door there. (To be continued......)
