Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Earth Evil Array
I don't know when I'm drunk, I don't know when I'm going to sleep.
When Wu Song woke up, the sky was just dawning, and the white of the fish belly was exposed in the distance. He shook his head, which was still a little painful, and it seemed that he had really drunk too much last night.
The fire had been extinguished, but a faint white smoke was still rising. Wu Song glanced to the side, and Gongsun Sheng was still asleep. Junxiu's face was slightly flushed, as if he had been smeared with rouge.
He went back to the carriage, took the sobering pill, took one for himself, and then put one in the palm of the other's hand. After finishing the matter, he returned to the tent, hugged Wan Yanping, and fell asleep.
The friendship of a meal of wine brought the relationship between Wu Song and Gongsun Sheng a lot closer. The two are not as restrained as before, because Wu Song is older than Gongsun Sheng, so Gongsun Sheng called Wu Song "big brother", and Wu Song also called him the tail word, directly calling him "Xiaosheng".
The carriage traveled for another two or three days, and after driving through one hidden mountain road after another, Wu Song and the others finally arrived at their destination, Erxian Mountain.
After getting out of the car, Wu Song raised his eyes and looked around, where was the shadow of the fairy mountain. Everywhere there are inconspicuous small dirt slopes, bare, where can people live.
"Xiaosheng, you and your master don't usually live in this place, right?" Wu Song was a little incredulous, except for the abundant sunshine, Wu Song couldn't find other advantages of this soil slope.
"Big brother, you are just confused by the surface, in order to avoid the pursuit of that person, the master specially laid a large array here, this array is based on the terrain, implying that Tianhe, most of these soil slopes, most of them are formation eyes, the real Erxian Mountain, it is hidden between these soil slopes, so it is normal for you not to see it, big brother." Speaking of this big array, Gongsun Sheng's tone was full of pride, it seems that this is the handiwork of that Luo Zhenren again.
Wu Song took a closer look at these dirt slopes, and there was yellow sand in his eyes, and he couldn't see any clues at all, and he couldn't help but be full of admiration for that Luo Zhenren in his heart. But he thought about it, the "person" in Gongsun Sheng's mouth just now should be Luo Zhenren's senior brother, Jiang Zhenren is undoubted, Luo Zhenren is so powerful, he will be chased by this Jiang Zhenren to protect himself in formation, and he doesn't dare to fight back, so Jiang Zhenren's ability is still above the other party.
Thinking of this, Wu Song's brows furrowed slightly, he had promised Youlan that he would find the antidote to the Qiankun Pill for her, but when he saw Jiang Zhenren at that time, what capital could he have to negotiate terms with him, could it be that he was holding a Longquan knife and rushing up to slash the other party, I am afraid that the other party will not be able to resist a small Taoist technique. So Wu Song made up his mind, after meeting Luo Zhenren, in addition to figuring out some things, more importantly, he also asked him about Qiankun Dan, after all, the life of Youlan, a girl, is not a joke.
After making up his mind, Wu Song was even more looking forward to seeing Luo Zhenren, and he said with some eagerness, "Xiao Sheng, in that case, what is the name of this formation, do you have a way to break it, so that we can go to see your master." ”
"This array is called 'Earth Evil Array', it is based on the changes in the ground formation in the eight formations, supplemented by the blessing of the Taoist Righteous Law, ordinary people walk in, they will only return the same way, if someone maliciously attacks, this array also has a certain defensive effect, big brother rest assured, although I am not very proficient in the formation, but when I go down the mountain, the master has already taught me the method of wearing the formation, as long as you just follow me later." Gongsun Sheng replied while introducing the basic situation of this formation.
"The earth is evil, the sky is evil, but it's a little interesting." Wu Song thought secretly in his heart, but his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking, he asked Gongsun Sheng again, "Xiao Sheng, you just said that this formation is based on the change of the ground-borne formation in the Eight Array Diagram, isn't the Eight Array Diagram long lost, could it be that your master still has the real Eight Array Diagram?" ”
Wu Song's words were a little excited, but he knew the meaning of the three words "Eight Array Diagrams".
During the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei begged Wu and camped in the dense forest, but was burned by Lu Xun with a record, Liu Bei was defeated and fled to Kuiguan.
Fortunately, Zhuge Kongming had set up a large array here, called the "Bagua Array", which trapped Lu Xun here, and Liu Bei was able to escape. Therefore, some people praise these eight arrays, which are wonderful for a while, and they are worth 100,000 elite soldiers.
Although this map has been lost in the Three Kingdoms period, the emperors of all dynasties have been looking for this valuable formation treasure map, and everyone knows how much the military strength of their country will be greatly improved with this map.
Now that the Song State is weak, and it is impossible for the military strength to be improved in the short term, Wu Song decided to ask for help from some foreign objects, such as the Gubai Steel Smelting Diagram, and the same is true of this Eight Array Diagram, which is what Wu Song wants to get.
Looking at Wu Song's eager gaze, Gongsun Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid the eldest brother is going to be disappointed, I heard the master say that the eight arrays are also divided into small eight arrays and big eight arrays, and the small eight arrays contain nine formations, which are divided into rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, surprise, and opening eight doors according to Dunjia, the Chinese army is a large array, but it is only suitable for small-scale operations, and the power is not great. I can ask the master for it, and he will not refuse. ”
It turned out to be a small eight array diagram, Wu Song was slightly disappointed, although the small eight array diagram is also a priceless treasure, but it is often more commemorative than practical value, in terms of the role that can really be played, it may be inferior to the ancient hundred steel-making smelting diagram in Wu Song's hand.
"In that case, Xiao Sheng, I won't trouble you, but I don't know if your master knows the news of the Big Eight Array Diagram?" Wu Song still had a glimmer of hope, after all, a master of Xiang Luo Zhenren's level should know more news.
"I think I've heard the master say it." Gongsun Sheng seemed to be recalling something, he said, "The big eight array diagram is said to have been created by the Yellow Emperor period, after several wars, this diagram was the Yellow Emperor's unification of the Central Plains, and made great contributions, but later generations have not passed it down, I don't know if it was destroyed, or it was hidden by the Yellow Emperor." This map is named after the sky, earth, wind, clouds, dragons, tigers, birds, and snakes, and the Chinese army is a total of nine large arrays. The Chinese army consisted of sixteen small formations, and the surrounding eight formations were composed of six small formations each, for a total of sixty-four small formations. The inner circle and the outer square, the odd is also the right, the positive is also the strange, each other is poor, and the cycle is endless. It can be worth 30,000 soldiers to 100,000 horses. ”
Seeing Gongsun Sheng mention the last sentence, a trace of fire flashed in Wu Song's eyes, if he got this big eight array diagram, in the struggle with Liao, Jin, Western Xia and other countries, he could definitely reverse the disadvantages of the past.
"But—" Gongsun Sheng paused, and then said, "The master seems reluctant to mention this picture, as if, it has something to do with Tiangangyu, and he always reluctantly mentions the name Tiangangyu." ”
Gongsun Sheng's tone was a little sad, as if this Tiangangyu was also a nightmare in his eyes.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Wu Song didn't continue to ask, he decided to wait until he saw Luo Zhenren and ask again to understand. After he greeted Yan Ping, he asked Gongsun Sheng to lead the way for the two.
Gongsun Sheng didn't say anything, took out a piece of jade, and followed the instructions above, walking forward step by step, Wu Song and the two followed behind him, without saying a word.
Walking into the formation, Wu Song deeply realized what it means to "not know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain".
Wu Song thought that his memory was amazing, but after following Gongsun Sheng for a while, he couldn't remember the road he had just walked, and his mind was confused, and he couldn't distinguish between east and west, north and south. There was no way, so he had to honestly follow Gongsun Sheng and walk through one familiar and unfamiliar dirt slope after another.
After walking for about half an hour, Wu Song's eyes were everywhere, except for the yellow sand, it was still yellow sand, there was no other color, the blazing sun was scorching the three of them, making people feel unconsciously bored, it seems that this earth evil array is not only dazzling, but also has a psychological effect.
Finally, after turning a dirt slope, a piece of green suddenly appeared in front of Wu Song's eyes, and a small and delicate mountain peak appeared in front of the three of them, like an oasis in the desert, which made people's hearts suddenly become excited.
"Villain, look, there are cranes on this mountain, let's go up the mountain and take a look." Wan Yan Ping shouted happily, took Wu Song's hand, and looked like she was playing.
Wu Song secretly laughed at this girl's childish nature, but he also longed for this treasure land like an immortal mountain, so he said, "Xiaosheng, since this is the case, let's go up the mountain quickly." ”
Gongsun Sheng smiled slightly and said, "Big brother, if you think that this is the real Erxian Mountain, then you are fooled, this is just an illusion of Erxian Mountain on the "Hugh" gate, not real, big brother, you just need to continue to follow me." ”
With that, Gongsun Sheng continued to walk forward.
Although Wu Song and the others were curious, they still followed him honestly. Sure enough, the three of them then saw the visions on the other seven doors of "Life, Injury, Du, Jing, Death, Shock, and Open". In combination with the illusions on the front "Hugh" door, Wu Song found that these eight illusions happened to be the eight sides of the Erxian Mountain, and it seemed that the real Erxian Mountain should be in the middle.
After walking through the last "open" door, Wu Song couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the beauty of this evil array is really powerful, but it can only be regarded as a gatekeeper array, and cannot be used in the military. If you find the Big Eight Array and put out a real Bagua Great Array, among which, the sixty-four small arrays complement each other and harmonize with each other, then how strong will its power be, this is really unimaginable.
The three of them continued to walk forward, and finally came to a cliff, looking at the smooth wall stone, Wu Song glanced at Gongsun Sheng with some puzzlement.
Gongsun Sheng hurriedly explained, "Big brother, don't worry, there is one last obstacle, behind this cliff, is the Erxian Mountain." With that, Gongsun Sheng walked forward and took out a strange stone from his arms, there seemed to be a gossip pattern on the stone, he took this jade and walked towards the stone wall.
There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and Wu Song is not in a hurry, so he took Yan Ping's hand and followed behind Gongsun Sheng.
Gongsun Sheng came to the stone wall and embedded the stone in a secret hole, and the stone was completely placed in it, without a single gap, as if it was tailor-made.
Then, the stone wall trembled, and a hole opened on the side, and from the hole, a lot of green was faintly visible.
"In the Earth Evil Array, Dunjia Xiu, Life, Injury, Du, Jing, Death, Shock, and Open Eight Doors, only the last "open" door is a way to live, and the others are all a dead end, big brother, the door has been opened, let's go see Master. Gongsun Sheng greeted Wu Song and the others, and walked into the stone gate first.
Seeing this peculiar way of opening the door, Wu Song was shocked, and he vaguely felt as if he had seen this somewhere.
Fake Tiangang Jade, Centipede Daoist, by the way, Wu Song suddenly thought, isn't this the scene that appeared in front of the valley where the mysterious tomb is located when he went to chase the Centipede Daoist in Centipede Ridge, with Wang Jin and Shiren.
Wu Song remembered very well that at that time, the three of them thought that the centipede Daoist had no way to escape, and was about to go up to kill him, when he suddenly walked to the cliff, pulled up a large vine, and got in. If it weren't for the Centipede Daoist for the guidance, Wu Song and the others might never have found the mysterious cave.
And now Luo Zhenren's Erxian Mountain and the construction of the mysterious tomb are similar, I don't know if Luo Zhenren deliberately imitated it, or if there is another reason, Wu Song doesn't know, he just knows, I'm afraid that the shock left by the mysterious tomb to Luo Zhenren is definitely no less than himself.
"Villain, what are you doing in a daze, go away." Wan Yanping took Wu Song's hand and said.
Wu Song reacted at this time, he shook his head, and told himself that he didn't have to think about it, and when he saw Luo Zhenren, everything would be revealed. Thinking of this, his heart regained calm, and after holding Yan Ping's hand, they walked into Erxian Mountain.
