Chapter 249: Formation in the Ruins
The location of the stone forest is in a small valley that is located at the very bottom of this small mountain range and needs to be climbed over the mountain to be seen. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
If it weren't for Tai Shi Ci's sharp eyes and the anomaly of this valley was found on the top of the mountain, Hao Meng and they might not have found this ruin.
Anyone who has seen the pyramids of Egypt will be amazed at how the ancient Egyptians used those huge stone bricks to build huge towers.
Anyone who has seen the Hanging Gardens of Babylon will wonder how the ancient Babylonians circled the layers of gardens into the sky.
Those who have seen the Great Wall will also be shocked by how bold Qin Shi Huang was to lay a Wolong dragon on the earth.
The architectural wisdom of these ancients, Hao Meng can get a glimpse of the leopard when he looks at the stone forest in front of him.
The stone forest is made up of tall stone pillars.
Each stone pillar is more than ten zhang high, and the diameter is about one zhang.
Moreover, these stone pillars in front of him are obviously not one or two, but more than one or two hundred, and the stone pillars needed to cover the valley in front of him are at least not less than a thousand.
With the technology of this era, it is not an exaggeration to describe the manpower and material resources required to chisel a stone pillar of this scale.
Even after years of precipitation, some broken words or patterns can still be vaguely identified on many stone pillars.
It's just that I don't know how many years of wind and rain, coupled with the climbing and erosion of various vines, the words and patterns are only a few left, and Hao Meng and they can't deduce the specific information of this ruin from these remaining words and patterns.
Hao Meng is not an archaeologist, nor is he a so-called captain of the Golden School, even if he wants to make up for it, he can't make up for the era in which this relic used to be.
After entering the stone forest, Hao Meng and the others quickly got lost.
Even if there is a sun that can determine the direction, even if each stone pillar has been eroded by the years and is a little different, Hao Meng and they are still lost in the stone forest.
Even, Hao Meng, even if they wanted to go back the way they came, it seemed that they couldn't do it.
……
"Hell, why is this ghost place so evil?" The little princess was a little deflated.
Each stone pillar is almost the same, if it weren't for the corrosion of the years, and the vines that climb on the stone pillars are a little different, you may not have noticed that they have been fascinated by this stone forest.
However, everyone is not very worried.
Being able to pass through a few stone pillars can charm a group of humans, which can only be done by the formation.
In terms of formations, Cai Wenji didn't dare to say that he was a famous person at that time, but he was also proficient in various ancient and modern formations in theory.
After all, China's formations all originated from the Book of Changes, and most of the formations that have come out are also included in the "Daozang", Cai Wenji has long studied these two scriptures, and there is really no formation that can stump Cai Wenji.
Of course, the formation set up by the military generals is another matter.
However, the ruins of this Hao Hulu Island are not known how many years ago. At that time, there were no changes in the heavens and the earth, and there were no generals to talk about it!
Everyone was lost in the stone forest for an hour or two, except for the little princess who was a little discouraged and bored, and Hao Meng, most of them were observing the remaining words and patterns on those stone pillars, trying to deduce some clues based on these.
Cai Wenji walked a few steps in the stone forest from time to time, then looked up at the sun in the sky, and then turned left or right and walked a few more steps.
Suddenly, Cai Wenji stood still and instructed Tai Shici: "General Ziyi, seven steps away, the stone pillar in the southeast, please General Jump up and take a look." ”
"Whoa!"
Tai Shi Ci took the order, took three steps and did two steps, with the help of those vines, and quickly jumped onto the stone pillar.
"Damn, what's going on?" Tai Shi Ci exclaimed.
Hearing Tai Shici's exclamation, Dian Wei and Li Chou also quickly found a stone pillar and jumped up, and then they all exclaimed.
Looking at Tai Shici's position, no matter which direction it is, there are endless stone pillars, and there is no trace of the sea or mountains at all.
It's obviously a little weird.
Just now, Tai Shi Ci and the others were still discussing that if they really couldn't walk out of this stone forest from the ground, everyone could still walk out from the top of those stone pillars.
After all, each stone pillar is not very far apart, and at most, with the help of vines, everyone can jump back and forth between the stone pillars.
It's just that what Tai Shici sees now is an endless array of stone pillars, and the idea of jumping out from the top of the stone pillars seems to be impossible.
……
Cai Wenji seemed to have known that Tai Shi Ci would exclaim, and said indifferently: "This should be the Labyrinth Bagua Array, and many of the stone pillars you see now are illusions." ”
"The labyrinth gossip array originated from the Book of Changes. Gossip", and later extended through the wits and courage of Sun Bin and Pang Juan, there is today's labyrinth gossip array. ”
"The labyrinth gossip in front of me is there, obviously with Sun Bin and Pang Juan."
Sun Bin and Pang Juan?
If you calculate it this way, the earliest age when this formation appeared was at most in the Warring States period, right?
If Hao Meng is not mistaken, the story of Sun Bin and Pang Juan took place in the early Warring States period!
"So, the history of this ruin is more than 700 years at most?" Hao Meng reasoned.
Hearing this, Cai Wenji smiled: "Actually, it can't be counted like this." ”
"After Sun Bin and Pang Juan, the deeds of wits and courage between their brothers and sisters were inherited and carried forward by later generations, and the labyrinth gossip array came out."
"Besides, throughout the entire Warring States for nearly two hundred years, I have not heard of any vassal state that has ever sent a fleet to sea!"
Well, most of Hao Meng's historical knowledge has been returned to the physical education teacher, and he talks about the past and the present with Sister Cai, Hao Meng still needs to return to the future generations to further his studies!
Of course, from the early Warring States period to the present, it is only seven or eight hundred years of history, and there is really no documentary record of whether anyone has been idle and bored during this period and went to sea to play.
Especially in the last ten years, after the changes of heaven and earth!
Therefore, Hao Meng changed the topic and said, "So, how to break this labyrinth gossip array in front of you?" ”
……
This labyrinth gossip array was not set up by military generals.
According to the scientific outlook on development of later generations, this formation should not play much role.
However, since the labyrinth gossip array is the result of Sun Bin and Pang Juan's battle of wits and courage; Brother Zhuge in history even blocked Lu Xun's 100,000 Jiangdong soldiers with an eight-array diagram, which illustrates:
The formation can play a role, and it doesn't necessarily have to be laid out and activated in the future by a martial artist like Cai Wenji!
According to Sister Cai, if you use stone pillars or soldiers to lay out the [Eight Gates Golden Lock Array], you don't actually need mana to activate, and you can still play most of the effects of this formation!
