Chapter Seventy-Seven: Eight Sounds and Eight Paintings

"Everybody calm down a little bit. Wu Xing instead needed to calm the emotions of the three of them, and analyzed: "If the four of us go together, in case of an accident, all this will be completely meaningless." I think we should divide into two groups...... One of the reasons for this is that our dry food is not enough to support the four of us. The fish in the dark river are not raised in our own pond, and it is impossible to say which part of the dark river will not be able to catch fish. ”

After grouping, one of the groups continued down the river. Zheng Inspector once mentioned when introducing the Kanyu map of the nameless county that the nameless county can reach the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains more than 300 miles to the south. ”

Bagen and Qin Lan nodded in unison, affirming this somewhat vague piece of information.

"My plan is ....... The distance of more than 300 miles, the full distance is 400 miles, and it should be possible to reach the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, that is, the exit. If you turn back to the cave hall, it will be counted as thirty days. ”

The other group is responsible for waiting outside the cave exit. For a period of thirty days, if the group that explored the path did not return, the watchman group would directly return to the nameless county to report the matter to Zheng Patrol, and mobilize the strong people of the Star Venerable to come over to take precautions, lest the king of demon beasts break through the seal and cause the lives to be ruined. ”

Wu Xing's plan is quite thoughtful so far. It is impossible to go more than 300 miles south from Wuming County in a straight line, and the distance of the post road must be calculated. Correspondingly, if the dark river meanders, it will not be too different from the mountain route on the ground. In other words, the distance should be similar. It is not a problem for an ordinary person to walk thirty or forty miles a day, not to mention that there are three and a half star monarchs here right now, and it should be no problem to even travel a hundred miles a day.

The four of them quickly reached an agreement, approved Wu Xing's simple and clear plan, and then grouped up.

Bagen is just an "ordinary person", he has little effect in the treacherous cave environment, and he has a large amount of food, so he can be preferentially excluded from the group of pathfinders; although Qin Lan is a star monarch, he is only an archer, even if his sensing power can reach ten zhang or one hundred zhang, he still can't exert his normal strength in the dark environment, and he is also excluded from the group of pathfinders.

Wu Xing, as the strongest of the four at present, well, according to Qin Lan's original words, he is a star monarch who can slap the giant stone tablet into disappearance, and he should be the strongest among the four. Hearing this, even Xiaotu couldn't help laughing.

In addition, Xiao Tu, as an eight-rank star monarch who has lived in the cave environment for more than ten years, is obviously the most suitable candidate for pathfinder. And only he knew where the other bag of spare Night Pearls was hidden. The significance of enough night pearls in a pitch-black environment is naturally extraordinary. As for why he still has to be a bandit and robber with so many night pearls, Xiaotu can only admit frankly that the night pearls, hooked fish rods, and round shields are all the few thoughts left by grandpa, and it is very likely that they are grandpa's relics, and they really can't bear to give up. Besides, Xiaotu only robs food, not money. In fact, when Wu Xing took out the Xuantie four-star gold to make a threatening gesture, Xiao Tu chose to surrender as soon as possible, which is also evident, and he was indeed worried that the round shield would be damaged by the four-star gold.

"Now that the plan has been decided, Qin Darthead, let's go our separate ways!" Wu Xing had already acted quite decisively at this time, and after the items that needed to be carried were divided, he signaled to Ba Gen and Qin Lan respectively, and followed Xiaotu to continue walking along the dark river. The two night pearls were tightly tied to the fishing line with a rope net, and they poked out from above the round shield and used them as lanterns, while Wu Xing tied two night pearls to the wristbands of his hands and followed behind Xiaotu. In this cave environment, with these night pearls, the two of them are roughly equivalent to lighting lanterns on the night road.

After Qin Lan and Bagen waved goodbye, they turned back with the oil lamps and walked towards the way they came.

........

"What? Qin Darthead is already in the realm of 'success'?" Wu Xing looked surprised and subconsciously shook his head.

"Yes, because I am practicing the same set of exercises, I can clearly sense that Qin Darttou has reached the realm of 'success'. The sensing power of this set of exercises is different, and when cultivators are close to each other, it will 'vibrate' like a tuning fork, but outsiders can't sense it at all. Xiao Tu pointed to the Heavenly Court on his forehead, and said: "Moreover, the archer's sensing talent is indeed much higher than that of other star monarchs, plus Qin Dart's sensing power has been improving since he first woke up, so he has a good foundation...... Therefore, it is not unimaginable to step into the realm of 'success' in one day. Grandpa said that when he practiced this kind of exercise, he went straight to the realm of 'success' in one day. ”

"Your grandfather's realm and talent must be extremely high, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to do such a shocking thing! I really can't imagine how many things he carried down the mountain from the Tianshan Mountain. Wu Xing pointed to the distance of the dark river, sighed, and said, "You just said that when the cultivators of this set of exercises are close to each other, the Heavenly Court will ...... 'co-shock' like a tuning fork?"

"Co-earthquake?" Xiao Tu had obviously heard of the term for the first time.

"The tuning fork is what the musicians use to tune, it looks like a slingshot fork, and the middle beam has a scale corresponding to several commonly used instruments, and it can be used to calibrate the timbre of the instrument by adjusting the beam to lengthen or shorten the distance between the two forks. Wu Xing explained briefly, and said: "And 'co-vibration' refers to the fact that when the tuning fork calibrates the timbre of the instrument, it can sense the sound of the instrument and vibrate, which is called 'coordinated vibration'." ”

"Oh! Xiao Tu nodded, pointed to the dark iron needle in front of the fish rod, and said, "You can now condense the star power on the pattern, and then you can sense the 'coshock'." ”

Wu Xing did so, and sure enough, he sensed a slight tremor in the Heavenly Court on his forehead, and after careful distinction, he could indeed distinguish eight tones.

"Have you ever heard of the Yongzi Teleporter?" Wu Xingfu asked in his heart, and when he saw Xiao Tu shaking his head blankly, he continued: "The Yongzi Teleporter is a tattoo device based on the Yongzi Eight Methods, and the Yongzi Eight Methods are the basis of the Baiwen stroke structure. If you have mastered the eight methods of Yongzi, you can write all the white characters. ”

"And our Xuantie needle, doesn't it happen to have eight tones?" Wu Xing looked a little excited, and said with a gesture: "If we correspond to the eight strokes of the eight tones of Yongzi Bafa, then wouldn't we be able to 'write' all the white texts?"

Xiao Tu said suddenly: "Eight tones correspond to eight strokes, and after 'writing' a white text, there is a pause in the middle, and then the next white text...... When it is coherent, it has a complete meaning. ”

"But I can't read. When my grandfather saw that I had no talent, he didn't teach me to read, so he changed it to teach me fishing. ”

"It's okay! I'll teach you the word 'Yong' first, this will never be wrong!" Wu Xing laughed, found a slightly flat place on the bank of the river, and really explained the strokes of the word "Yong" and the truth of the eight methods of Yongzi to interpret the word "Yong" first.

While the two of them were nibbling on dry food, they were analyzing and teaching the eight methods of Yongzi, and at the back, two of them were nibbling on dry food while trying to match the eight tones with the eight strokes.

In fact, this correspondence can be very simple, the eight tones are from one to eight according to the height of the scale, and the eight strokes of Yongzi are from one to eight according to the stroke order. In this way, interpretation can be carried out.

Later, while the two were gnawing on dry food, they were dismantling the designated word "Yong" at the same time. Or Wu Xing transmits the words by sound, and Xiao Tu writes the words according to the pitch, or the two of them are reversed, and Xiao Tu transmits the words by sound, and Wu Xing comes to "restore" the words. It's a process of developing a tacit understanding in itself, especially when it's particularly simple and easy to implement, and the results are immediate.

The sensing power is almost undisturbed by the outside world, and the two can interpret when they are nibbling on dry food, when they are in a hurry, and when they are fishing....... Later, after Wu Xing repeatedly expressed his strong dissatisfaction, Xiaotu did not try to interpret again while the two were sleeping. Two or three days later, Wu Xing expanded the scope of the ban on interpreting to "prohibit interpretation when it is 'convenient'".

A few days later, Wu Xingde began to teach Xiaotu to learn some simple white scripts, thus truly upgrading a "small game" between the two to a kind of "instant communication password", and jointly named it "Eight Sounds and Eight Paintings".

Later, Xiaotu added: "Grandpa said that only Xingjun who has cultivated the 'Wisher' exercise can achieve 'co-shock', and Xingjun who has cultivated other induction exercises cannot achieve 'co-shock'. Moreover, Xingjun, who had been awake for too long, could no longer practice this kind of exercise. ”

With Xiao Tu's supplementary explanation, the password of this "Eight Sounds and Eight Paintings" can basically only be a dedicated instant communication method between Wu Xing, Xiao Tu, and Qin Lan. After all, after most Star Monarchs first woke up, they would give priority to cultivating the technique of cultivating induction, in order to improve the cultivation efficiency of the Star Hammer or Star Pen.

Among the Nine Rank Star Monarchs, such as Wu Xing was busy lighting up the stars on his left and right hands and did not choose to practice the Induction Force Exercise, or Qin Lan was busy traveling south and north to receive darts and did not have a suitable free time, after all, there were only a few.

After another three or two days, Wu Xing and Xiaotu had basically completely "eliminated" talking, and they were communicating completely through the "Eight Sounds and Eight Paintings", which improved the communication meticulousness of the "Eight Sounds and Eight Paintings" by a large margin, almost to the level of having a heart.

On the thirteenth day that the two of them traveled almost day and night, after passing a total of twenty-seven giant stone tablets or tattoos and medicine bottles, they finally came to the place where it was suspected that their grandfather had sealed the exit.
