Zhao Liang heard that the lights went out and said that there was a mechanism on the stairs, so he hurriedly raised his guard and asked carefully, "How do you see it?" ”

The head of the lights out road pointed to a floor slab in front of him and said, "This is the thirty-sixth step of the pagoda, which is the number of heavens. In a place like this kind of magic trick, Xiaodao will pay more attention. In addition, I came in just now and observed that although the entire staircase in the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda spiraled upwards, if you want to imagine it as a huge plane, it is not difficult to find that it forms the trend of eight golden locks. ”

"Eight Golden Locks?" Zhao Liang said curiously: "Isn't that the formation used by Cao Ren?" ”

The head of the lights out road scratched his head and said puzzledly: "Uh...... Who is Cao Ren? ”

Zhao Liang secretly scolded himself for being stupid in his heart, and in a hurry, he actually told the characters of the Three Kingdoms period, and he hurriedly went back: "You said Cao Ren, he ...... He's a buddy of mine, and when he used to lead troops to fight, he seemed to have heard that he had also used the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, hehe. ”

"I see. Immortal Chief's friend, of course, is also an extraordinary person," the Lights Out Dao Elder nodded to himself: "Xiao Dao never thought that these eight golden locks could be used for marching and fighting. Well, if you think about it, it makes sense. ”

Zhao Liang urged: "Don't be emotional, tell me what is going on with these eight golden locks?" ”

The head of the lights out explained: "Qimen Yin Fu is often divided into loose disks and frisbees, and the two are generally related, which is the secret of Qimen's use. The nine stars are arranged in eight directions in order, with the bird star in the center, and the eight gates are dominated, which are rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, Beijing, and open, and the middle palace is hidden, and the wonderful changes are endless. The trap is based on the way of nature, that is, the direction of the nine stars and eight gates; The use of Frisbee is to transform the good fortune and evil trade-offs of the eight doors and nine palaces into specific escape techniques, which are infinitely changeable and unpredictable. Once a person falls into it, as long as he goes through the wrong door, he will no longer be able to escape. ”

Zhao Liang barely understood what the lights out Taoist said, and asked half-understandingly: "You mean to say that the trap that Beichen Lao'er laid on the stairs is based on the eight golden locks?" Is there a way to crack it? ”

Lights out and shook his head: "Well, I haven't figured out the way to crack it yet, but I should still be sure to avoid the dangerous mechanisms of death, injury, and shock." As he spoke, he pointed to the thirty-sixth staircase: "This is where the door is." ”

Zhao Liang took a closer look and said strangely: "Hey, don't say it, it's really a bit unusual here, the eye color and height of the stair treads are very subtle differences from other steps." ”

The lights out path chief jumped lightly, crossed the steps, and then motioned for Zhao Liang to jump over like him. Zhao Liang didn't dare to slack off, and jumped to the top of the thirty-seventh step across the thirty-sixth step.

Zhao Liang held on to the handrail of the stairs, turned around to look, and asked, "You said that if I try this mechanism now, will it cause any chain reaction that threatens our safety?" ”

Lights Out knew what he meant, shook his head and said, "It should be fine, but we'd better go a few more sessions and stay away." ”

Zhao Liang took a few more steps up as he said, then took out a fire fold from his arms and threw it towards the pedal of the thirty-sixth step. The weight of the small fire fold was not very heavy, but as soon as it landed on the stair treads, only a click was heard, and from the thirty-sixth section, the steps of the steps more than ten steps back were flipped at the same time, and a large hole of seven or eight meters long was formed in the stairs.

I'm good! Zhao Liang stuck out his tongue in surprise, and said in his heart: If this is a standing person, won't it leak down in an instant? Although it is only about five meters high from the first floor, if you fall unguarded, you will probably still be injured.

The lights out Dao Chang patted him on the shoulder: "Immortal Chief, don't look at it, this is just a small trick to warn the intruders, and the more powerful ones should be in the back." ”

Zhao Liang subconsciously raised his head to look around, stared at the height of the pagoda and muttered: "I'll go, if I touch this mechanism on it, I'll have to finish playing on the spot." ”

Lights Out ignored him, and continued to turn upward, counting the steps while carefully observing, and slowly moving forward. Zhao Liang didn't dare to be careless, followed closely behind the lights out road chief, and walked up cautiously.

The two of them avoided the seventy-fourth and eighty-first steps all the way, and passed through a hundred stairs without danger, and finally walked nearly a third of the way. Zhao Liang leaned on the railing and looked down, which was about a dozen meters above the ground on the ground floor, but Xiao Ya had already gone around behind the screen at this time, still busy and ignored them.

Zhao Liang wiped the sweat from his forehead, signaled to turn off the lights and continue walking. The head of the lights out nodded, and silently counted the steps in his heart to step up, only to hear Zhao Liang complain in the back: "Damn, this Beichen is a big pervert!" Such a simple wooden ladder was actually tricked everywhere by him, trapping step by step! ”

Turning off the lights couldn't help but be relieved: "Immortal don't be irritable. Yin charms are all-encompassing, and the eight doors also contain vitality. In addition to the death door and the injured door, there is also the door of life to open the door, which leaves people room to retreat peacefully. So no matter how vicious Beichen Lao'er is, he can't do it all in the situation of the eight golden locks. ”

Zhao Liang was about to continue cursing, but unexpectedly, the head of the lights-out road who was exploring the path in front patronized and talked to him, accidentally made a mistake in the number of steps, and stepped on the one hundred and twenty-eighth step with one foot. I only heard a slight clicking sound, and then, three rows of small holes with different angles suddenly appeared on the wall in front of the two of them, and among those holes, there were arrows shining with cold light!

The arrows in the small hole face the stairs diagonally from top to bottom, divided into three ways, upper, middle and lower, each row has nine, and they are only four or five meters away from Zhao Liang. In this case, not to mention a rookie like Zhao Liang, even the tough lights-out chief has only two choices left: either use his body to take a hard beat, or jump out from the staircase railing.

In an instant, Zhao Liang only felt that his scalp was numb, and he didn't even have time to struggle, so he suddenly closed his eyes.

Just when the lights out Dao Chang accidentally touched the trap and Zhao Liang stood in place waiting for death, an amazing scene was also being staged in the outer courtyard of the Taiyi Immortal Palace.

Beichen, who was about to turn around and enter the hospital, suddenly heard an order from the young general Meng Qi behind him, and then, nearly a thousand Yulin Iron Guards roared at the same time, and suddenly Beichen stopped in fright, turned to look at each other in a daze, and didn't know what to do for a while.

Those black-armored warriors who were like wolves and tigers, after shouting three "gales", suddenly urged their mounts and pressed over like a mountain and a sea, as if standing opposite them was not the great power division Beichen, but the Six-Nation Alliance Army and the Huns outside the Saiwai.

At this time, in Beichen's mind, the word "powder" flashed out uncontrollably, and he secretly complained in his heart: This is playing ball! Death is over! At this time, it must be too late to run, but I don't have the courage to fight hard, so I have to react the same as Zhao Liang on the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda - close your eyes quickly!

If there is a "coincidence ranking" in the history of Great Qin, then what happened tonight will definitely be among the top three. Because the big and small national teachers of Qin Shi Huang's imperial seal almost at the same time, they all encountered the biggest crisis in their lives; What's even more coincidental is that the way the two of them responded to the crisis turned out to be highly consistent, that is, to be virtuous with an ostrich, stick their heads into the soil, and stand in place and wait for death.

However, to Beichen's surprise, although the ironclad cavalry was fierce, when the war horses rushed to him, they stopped in unison, and then the horses' heads turned and rode in different directions. A group of war horses interspersed back and forth, and less than twenty steps away from Beichen, the entire charging formation first broke into pieces, and then quickly gathered together, turning into six phalanxes of different sizes.

The six phalanxes were formed almost at the same time, and the soldiers in the formation obviously cooperated tacitly, and even the rhythm of the war horses was not bad, and what was even more admirable was that such a complex formation change was extremely easy for them to do, all of them were calm and relaxed, and they did not show the slightest crampedness.

Before Beichen Zhenren could react, Meng Qi, who was in the middle of the six formations, gave another order, and all the Feather Forest Iron Guards immediately started to act again. The three frontmost phalanxes moved in unison, and at the same time took out the longbow and hard crossbow, and set up arrows to aim at Beichen; A phalanx on the left and right sides held spears aloft and slowly advanced forward from the side and back, forming a pincer shape to enclose the gate of the courtyard wall where Beichen was located. And the last phalanx, which is also the largest, stood firmly behind Meng Qi, shouting in unison rhythmically, cheering for the brothers in front.

Beichen looked confused, and secretly said in his heart: I'm fucking! Don't these brutes just want to grind the old way into powder, but also want to grind out tricks?

Just as he was thinking wildly, Meng Qi gave another order, and the five phalanxes that had been approaching Beichen quickly turned around, shrank back, turned around together with the large array at the rear, turned their horses' buttocks towards Beichen, and ran into the distance, leaving Meng Qi alone to immediately put himself.

Fortunately, there are few residents in the northeast corner of Xianyang, where the Taiyi Eternal Life Hall is located, and the palace was originally planned to be built here, so the site in front of the courtyard is very open, otherwise it is really not enough for these Yulin Iron Guards to toss. When they ran two hundred steps away, as if they had already agreed, they stopped one after another, and the six formations were combined, forming a large formation that looked very loose, and turned to face the Taiyi Immortal Palace.

Meng Qi didn't even look back at this time, he knew that his subordinates had been regrouped, and with a wave of his big hand forward, the cavalry scattered in a large formation, and the horses all marched forward with brisk steps, while the knights on the horses kept waving their weapons and making all kinds of fighting states.

It was only at this time that Beichen came back to his senses a little, feeling that the other party was not really trying to be rough with him, but seemed to be practicing some special formation.

Don't say it, his conjecture is really inseparable. What Meng Qi and the Yulin Iron Guards were showing at this time was a common skill of the Qin army - Dance Formation!

The dance formation, also known as the war dance, was a drill in the Great Qin army, which was mostly seen during the victory and triumph and the monarch's military parade. The infantry has a dance formation of infantry, the cavalry has a dance formation of cavalry, as little as a dozen people, more than 10,000 people, and the famous general Wang Jian of the Qin State even made a super dance formation of 100,000 people, and the scene was quite shocking.

This kind of so-called dance formation, which imitates the arrangement of troops and fighting in wartime, is not only for the pursuit of a simple performance nature, but also has the significance of examining the command ability of generals, the level of coordination of arms, and the discipline and quality of soldiers, which is an important magic weapon for the Great Qin Iron Army to train combat skills.

Of course, this kind of extremely professional military operation is not something that a layman like Beichen can imagine and understand. Rao guessed that the other party was not serious, but after all, he didn't dare to take it lightly, so he could only poke nervously in place, secretly begging Meng Qi not to really hurt the killer.
