Chapter 1666: Eight generals guard eight gates, and eight gates are locked in the array
In addition to the terracotta figurines, there were dozens of dried corpses left in front of Liu Eighteen and Soranta.
Soranta was shocked:
"Why are they dying here? Won't they go back and exit this place?
Or those terracotta figurines, and the aperture that loomed just now, what's so weird?"
Liu Eighteen nodded, raised his feet and walked forward slowly, took a few steps to the edge of the aperture, squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, put it on the tip of his nose, and took a deep breath.
Then, Liu 18 threw himself on the ground and used his hands to cut away all the dust and dirt on the ground.
After about twenty centimeters of planing, Liu Shibai and Soranta found a whole white floor tile in their eyes.
Liu Shibai slowly stood up, stared deeply into the darkness, and said in a low voice:
"There is a layer of artificially laid white ceramic on the ground, and if I expected it to be a circle, it covers the entire area of the cave.
These ceramics and the hundreds of terracotta figurines standing in the middle form a lost ancient array, trapping those poor people who have no intention of entering it alive. ”
Soranta was dumbfounded and said in surprise:
"Didn't Master Wang say that there was still a tombstone? Why didn't I see it? ”
Liu Eighteen nodded, took a picture of Soranta's right hand with the torch, and said:
"The stele is on the right side of the exit of this arch. ”
Soranta followed what Liu Eighteen said and looked to the right, and sure enough, he saw a stone tablet several meters high, inserted in an inconspicuous corner on the right.
Liu 18 and Soranta walked to the stone monument and looked at it together......
There are four large characters on the stele, plus a line of small characters below, and the writing line is in the Lishu font.
"What's written on this?"
Soranta couldn't read the official book, so she couldn't help but ask curiously.
Liu Shibai stared at it for a while, and said softly with a hint of strangeness on his face:
"The four big characters are written on the tomb of Li Muzhi, and the small characters on the lower line are written on the monument to the Great Qin Shi Emperor Yingzheng. ”
Soranta wondered:
"Could it be that this is Li Muzhi's tomb?"
Liu 18 slowly shook his head and said:
"This is not the place where Li Mu is buried, but deeper in this cave.
And to get to the depths, we have to go through the big array of figurines in front of us. ”
Soranta was curious:
"What kind of formation is this? As far as the eye can see, can't you get out?"
Liu Shibai stood in place, suddenly turned his head and said:
"Do you remember those eight humanoid sculptures we just came in?"
"Of course I remember, I counted it myself, exactly eight!"
Soranta nodded.
Liu Shibai breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Soranta in a low voice:
"The big array in front of us is actually a famous military formation in ancient times, which was formed by the leading generals in wartime. ”
Solanta's eyes lit up and she said:
"What kind of array is this?"
Liu Eighteen looked back at the distant darkness and said solemnly:
Combined with the eight sculptures at the entrance and the arrangement of the terracotta figurines here, it should be implied that there should be a sentence: eight generals and eight gates, life and death determine life and death, so this array is called: Eight Gates Golden Lock Array. ”
Soranta's eyes widened violently, and she shook her head:
"When I was studying at West Point, why had I never heard of this formation?"
Liu Shibai smiled slightly and asked:
"You just said that you know Li Mu, why don't you know the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array?"
Soranta said embarrassedly:
"I only know that this general named Li Mu is a military wizard, and he is the first person in Chinese history to encircle and annihilate superior cavalry on a large scale with a small number of infantry regiments. ”
Liu Eighteen pouted and said:
"According to your understanding, in the era of cold weapons, is it possible to encircle and annihilate 10,000 cavalry with 10,000 infantry?"
Soranta puffed out her eyes and said:
"That's impossible, can't the cavalry win?"
Liu 18 pointed to the tombstone and said:
"This man did it, this general named Li Mu in a battle with the Xiongnu two thousand years ago, organized 50,000 warriors in the camp, 100,000 soldiers who were good at shooting, defeated the Xiongnu in a decisive battle, and killed 150,000 cavalry of the enemy. ”
"I'm ...... This is definitely a fierce general!"
Soranta rubbed her tongue.
Liu Shibai smiled and said:
"It is better to say that he is a fierce general, but it is better to say that he is a wise general, because in that battle, the military formation lined up by the infantry is the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation, and it is easy for 150,000 cavalry to enter the battle formation, but it has become a luxury ...... to go out into the battle formation."
While speaking, Liu Shibai pointed to the circle full of terracotta figurines in front of him, and said solemnly:
"And now, this simplified version of the eight-door golden lock array is right in front of us.
And those who died, because it was easy to get in and difficult to get out, were trapped and died inside.
You see those who died, some of them were only separated from the edge of the battle by a terracotta figurine, and they could escape with just one step, but this step became an eternal ......"
"It's amazing. ”
Soranta sighed heartily.
Then, after thinking for a while, Liu 18 picked up a football-sized stone from the ground and handed it to Solanta:
"This stone has enough weight to activate the Great Array, you stand outside the circle and throw the stone into the Great Array to try it. ”
"Okay, I'll come!"
Soranta took the stone, ran two steps forward, and then raised his hand sharply and threw the stone into this simplified version of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array.
"Boom!"
As the stone fell to the ground with a loud noise, in front of the two people and a dog, there was a strange scene that should not have appeared here!
In the center of the battle array in this underground grotto, there was a sandstorm that should never have appeared......
It was a small sandstorm, and it was just within the circle of the circle, and it was definitely not more than half a meter.
The sand and dust flew all over the sky and gathered in the eight-pound golden lock array, condensing without collapsing, and the momentum was amazing.
Looking at it, Soranta couldn't help but be shocked:
"Looking at this sandstorm, it seems to be full of the artistic conception of Jin Ge Iron Horse, I stood outside and watched, and I felt afraid. ”
"Eight generals guard eight gates, eight gates golden lock array!"
Liu Eighteen looked at the formation in front of him and said solemnly.
"Boss, how are we going to get past these eight golden lock arrays?"
Soranta was dumbfounded.
"I only know that the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation is a battle formation in the army, and it is definitely not easy to break it, and the changes in the formation are definitely very complicated, and I can't grasp it very well. ”
Liu Shibai frowned and replied.
Soranta was thoughtful and curious:
"Boss, what are you going to do?"
Liu Shibai sneered:
"What should I do?
After a pause, Liu Shibai continued:
"The Eight Gates Golden Lock Array opens the Eight Gates, which is an absolute battlefield array, which implies many changes such as Jiazun, Sanqi, Liuyi, and Ten Heavenly Stems, especially after the large array is activated, the transformation of life and death will never be tired.
If the two of us want to break the formation, one of us must enter through the Shengmen and come out of the Jingmen after disrupting the big array, while the other person will take this opportunity to rush into the injured gate and smash the eye of the formation, so that the big array will be broken......"
