Chapter 503: Labyrinth Array

I subconsciously looked back and realized that our way in was gone.

Gongsun Xiaochen once said that the low-level formation set up by the warlock generally has only one entrance and exit, and when the formation is broken, this entrance and exit can automatically appear, otherwise, the people inside will not be able to leave the formation, and the high-level formation has many entrances and exits, and it is not fixed, as long as there is ability, even if the formation is not broken, you can also enter and exit freely.

Every door in the Heavenly Covering Array had a large ancient character on it, and it exuded a faint light. Although we don't know each other, its shape is exactly the same as the shape of the handwriting on the bag handed to us by Gongsun Xiaochen, so we can recognize that these are the eight characters representing the direction of the eight trigrams: "Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui". In addition to these eight gates, the remaining eight gates are also ancient characters, and their glyphs are not known to us, and they are dim and like dead things.

"These eight words that I don't know may be the names of the gossip that have been lost in the innate sixteen trigrams." I guessed.

"Generals, check the tips in your hands and line up in front of the door."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When Yuan Jian and I came to the door with the word "Qian" written on it, the rest of the generals also arrived at the designated door.

"Okay, the generals will listen to the order and attack."

Entering the dry array, there is only a straight path in front, surrounded by high mountains, about more than 30 meters forward, I saw that the path is divided into two, I looked at the tips in the bag, chose the right road, more than 10 meters later and then turn right, there are three forks in front. Fortunately, there are hints in the tips, and we didn't bother to think too much.

Moving forward like this, there are more and more bifurcations.

"It turned out to be a labyrinth." It dawned on me.

"Yes, Your Majesty, if it weren't for Gongsun Xiaochen's tips, I would have to go through a lot of trouble." Yuan Jian smiled.

After an hour, the road was lined with golden walls, and there were more and more forks in the road.

"Isn't the maze here the kind of maze that often appears in online games in later generations? Unexpectedly, the content of the ancients' formation was reflected in the way of games in later generations. I thought as I walked forward.

Walk, go without stopping.

I don't know how long it took, Yuan Jian in front of him suddenly paused: "Your Majesty, this should be the exit of the labyrinth." ”

I looked ahead, and saw that there was no road ahead, and at the end of the road were two stairs, both in a spiral shape, extending to the other side of the wall, and the other side of the wall must be the eye of the dry array. I opened the bag and saw that dry is the sky, for the yang, the so-called left yin and right yang, so no matter how many exits there are, only choose the extreme right, and never be arbitrary, otherwise it will return to the starting point again.

Yuan Jian took the lead, and a group of eight of us climbed the staircase on the right, this spiral staircase seemed to be a short distance, but it also took us a lot of time. Later, when talking to Gongsun Xiaochen about this, he couldn't explain the reason, but agreed with my statement, the formation is a kind of multi-dimensional space, the higher the level of the formation, the greater its dimension, different formations, the setting between each of its faces is different, in short, the X, Y, Z axes in the three-dimensional space are different from normal times, we think that the normal thinking to think about the unknown time and space of the multidimensional space, we will naturally feel incomprehensible.

Yuan Jian and the others felt the same way as me, and it took nearly half an hour on the stairs before they returned to the ground.

As Gongsun Xiaochen expected, this staircase is the exit of the labyrinth, and the exit is the eye of the dry array. The eight Yuan soldiers guarding the eye of the formation naturally could not be compared with Yuan Thorn, although they tried their best, they only died in the hands of Yuan Thorn in a few breaths.

I took a few steps forward and pulled out the array flag planted on the ground, this array flag is the symbol of the dry array, and when I pulled it out, I saw that the scene in front of me suddenly changed, and I found that Yuan Jian and I were still standing at the entrance of the dry array, but the wooden door with the word "Qian" written on it was nowhere to be seen.

Subsequently, the remaining seven doors also disappeared one by one, and the people who broke the formation appeared in front of the original formation gates again.

It was as if by magic, the wooden door disappeared out of thin air, and the soldiers appeared out of thin air.

When the eighth door disappears, the other eight doors disappear at the same time.

According to our estimates, it took about two and a half hours, or five hours, to break through the Heavenly Covering Array, but when we returned to the front of the large army array, Gongsun Xiaochen was quite surprised: "The emperor is very fast, and it only took less than two moments to break the Heavenly Covering Array in the five squares. ”

"What? Less than two moments? Gongsun Xiaochen, you're not joking. Fang Ling was also taken aback, and asked on behalf of the sixty-four people who had broken the formation.

"Concubine Lingniang, how dare the last general laugh with the emperor, the tens of thousands of troops here can testify for the last general."

Jiang Wanzai said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Lingniang, General Gongsun didn't smile, it was indeed less than two moments of work. ”

"Maybe it's because of the space." Although I am curious, I also have my own opinion, "This is as the legend says, one day in heaven, ten years on earth." ”

"Your Majesty, it seems that this Heavenly Covering Array is still very different from other formations, and the time inside the formation is very different from the outside." Gongsun Xiaochen said.

As soon as the five phalanxes were broken, the fortress of the Yuan army of Lumen Mountain completely appeared in front of us again.

Yuan Jian smiled and said: "Hehe, Your Majesty, the Mongols have not been idle in the past few days, and the earthen walls of the fortress have basically been repaired." ”

"Let them repair it, no matter how much they repair and reinforce, they won't be able to stop our artillery." I ordered, "The generals obey the order, withdraw their troops, and from tomorrow onwards concentrate their fire on the frontal walls of their fortresses, for I will destroy not only their earthen walls, but above all the confidence of the Mongols, who will be terrified in their hearts when they hear of firearms." ”

Returning to the big tent of the Chinese army, I rested for a while, although I felt quite tired, but my mind was extremely excited, I can be sure that the formation set up by the warlock is to use a certain method to connect our living space with the space of other different planes, if I can figure out the mystery, maybe I can use the formation to travel through time and space, back to my original era, Gongsun Xiaochen's skills are not enough, maybe Gongsun Ang, Dao Master and other super-first-class warlocks have a way.

It has been five years since I traveled to the Song Dynasty, and although I have become completely accustomed to the current life, the thought of returning home has never disappeared.

After discussing with Gongsun Xiaochen about the formation for a while, I fell asleep in a daze, although the actual time in the Heavenly Covering Array was only two quarters of an hour, but it really consumed our energy for two and a half hours, and this awakening was already a starry time.

After eating something casually, I began to review the excerpts from Lin'an, and it didn't take long to see Gongsun Xiaochen hurriedly enter the inner hall and say: "Your Majesty, good news, Yunnan is a great victory, and our army has recovered Dali City." ”

"Really?" Although this was expected, when I heard the news with my own ears, I was quite excited and said, "Show me." ”

"Yes, good...... Not bad, good, haha. I said as I watched, "The two major cities in Yunnan Province are already under the control of our army, and it is currently in the time of the war between the two countries, presumably Kublai Khan will not send troops south to Yunnan for the time being, Gongsun Xiaochen, Lu Xiufu of the Military Affairs Yuan, ordered Duan Heng, Wang Lixin and others to prepare for the establishment of the Yunnan Military Region as soon as possible, and promptly purge the anti-Song forces in Yunnan, and ordered Gao Gao and Tian Xiuyan to report the merits of the generals and soldiers in the Yunnan Campaign, so that they could be rewarded in the future, and ordered the Guangxi Military Region to make Fan Wenhu to restore the establishment of the Guangxi Military Region to two compartments, and also, ordered Ye Dongsheng to send more people to infiltrate Annan. As for the Xingfu Army to which Duan Donglou belongs, let them come to Xiangyang with Tian Xiuyan. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The war in Yunnan is basically over, and the follow-up is to pacify the remnants of the anti-Song forces in its territory, although the work of suppressing bandits is very hard, but it is only a matter of time, as long as Kublai Khan does not send a large army to the south, peace in the whole territory of Yunnan will soon be achieved.

At present, the situation in the east and west is temporarily peaceful, and the focus of the war is only on Xiangfan, but Yin Yinglei's troops have not sent back any news, which makes me very worried. However, I can't think about it, so I can only continue to wait.

That night, Ah Shu received an order from Dadu that the emperor would arrive in Xiangfan on July 4.

"July 4th, four days to go." After reading it, Ah Shu said, "Boyan, fortunately, your five phalanxes have won time for the reinforcement of the Lumen Mountain Fortress, and it is a great achievement." ”

"Handsome, carving insect skills, not worth mentioning. As for the formation, Boyan did not learn well, and the five squares set up did not have any attack power, at most it delayed the attack of the Southern Dynasty. ”

"Hehe, Boyan, you are a double cultivator of martial arts, and you are really the pillar of my dynasty."

Boyan smiled faintly: "Handsome, Boyan is ashamed, compared with the master, Boyan's skills and martial arts are inferior." Once the war is no longer there, Boyan should be hidden from the world and specialize in cultivation, in order to enter the house. ”

As soon as it came to the war, Ah Shu sighed and said with a solemn expression: "Difficult, difficult, my Great Yuan Empire has met an opponent this time." ”

"yes." Boyan felt the same way, nodded and said: "Firearms, alas, Dashuai, to be honest, I really don't know how the head of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty was transformed." ”

Ah Shu didn't react for a while: "Change? What does this mean? ”

"Great Shuai, the fact that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty was able to come up with such a powerful attack weapon shows that his brain is extremely smart." Boyan sighed, "Dashuai, have you heard about the events of the Southern Dynasty Emperor before he ascended the throne?" ”

"Well, it is said that before Zhao Yu ascended the throne, he was a flower Tai Sui who did not learn and did not know how to do it, but I didn't expect that he really had some ability."
