Chapter 63: The Eight Golden Locks

We were still naΓ―ve.

There must be something wrong with everyone's brains, so they are stupid to think that Shen Lang can really bring us the right answer.

Ling Xuan's face collapsed after hearing Shen Lang's weak answer, his right hand was raised and lowered several times, as if he wanted to make a move on Shen Lang in anger but was a little ruthless.

And Shen Lang on the side saw Ling Xuan like this, how could he not know that he had disappointed Ling Xuan again, he consciously retreated to the side without anyone opening his mouth, and quietly hid behind us and stopped making a sound.

The power covers three countries, and the name becomes an eight-array map.

The river does not turn, and the hatred is lost.

This is the whole poem of Du Fu's eight arrays, how important these eight arrays are, just from the first sentence of this poem, we can see a hint of clues.

Du Fugui is a generation of poets, if he didn't really think that these eight arrays were so important, how could he give such a high evaluation of the three points of the country?

These eight formations are indeed as Shen Lang said, they are from the hands of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period, and they are a kind of battle formation method that Zhuge Wuhou improved on the basis of absorbing the experience of his predecessors in the art of war.

However, when it comes to understanding the Eight Array Diagrams, Shen Lang's half-understanding is naturally not as good as the knowledgeable people present, and his opening just now is inevitably a little sneering and generous.

After all, Shen Lang was Ling Xuan's nominal apprentice, so Ling Xuan only glanced at him with hatred, and then adjusted his emotions that were affected by him, and after thinking carefully in his mind, he seriously told us what he knew about the Eight Array Diagram.

Regarding the composition of these eight formations, they can actually be divided into four positive formations and four odd formations.

The so-called Four Righteous Arrays are composed of the four places of Qiankun and Xungong in the eight trigrams.

Among them, the northwest is dry land, and the dry is the heavenly array, so it is called the heavenly cover.

The southwest is Kun land, and Kun is the ground array, hence the name of the place.

The southeast place is Xunju, and the Xunzhi is the wind gust, so the name is the wind.

The last northeast place is Genju, Gen is the mountain, the mountains and rivers come out of the clouds, so it is the cloud array, and the name is cloudy.

In addition to the four main formations of heaven, earth, wind and clouds as the main soldiers, the eight formations also use water, fire, metal, and wood as the four strange formations of dragon flying, tiger wings, bird Xiang, and snakes.

Because the array is named after the sky, the earth, the wind, the clouds, the dragon flying, the tiger wings, the bird Xiang, the snake pan, the four main arrays and the four odd arrays are a total of eight arrays, so it is named eight arrays.

Although the eight formations are called eight formations, if you add the Chinese army, it is nine large formations, the Chinese army is composed of sixteen small formations, and the surrounding eight formations are each composed of six small formations, a total of sixty-four small formations, in addition to the four main formations and the four odd formations, there are still 24 formations in the rear, for the purpose of maneuvering.

By the time of the Sui Dynasty, a generation of famous generals of the Sui Dynasty, the Nine Army Formation used by Han Baohu, who was worshiped as the Shangzhu State, was actually another name for the Eight Arrays, until the Tang Dynasty, the Eight Arrays were transferred to Li Weigong, because the command of the Nine Arrays was too complicated, so it was simplified to the Six Flower Arrays, after which the Eight Arrays were gradually lost.

After listening to Ling Xuan's serious explanation, I not only sighed in my heart, but also made new discoveries at the same time.

Sigh is to sigh the wisdom of Zhuge Wuhou, people say that Kong Ming is wise and close to the demon, now it seems that it really deserves its name, it is just a simple formation, but in the hands of Wuhou, it is integrated with heaven and earth, which makes people dare not underestimate it.

The new discovery is related to the final fate of these eight array diagrams.

According to Ling Xuan, during the Tang Dynasty, the Eight Array Diagram was passed to Li Jing, and because the command of the Nine Arrays was too complicated, he simplified the Eight Array Diagram into the Six Flower Arrays, and the Eight Array Diagrams gradually disappeared after that.

We already know that Li Jing and Li Weigong are from Guanshan, and he was ordered by the head of Guanshan to go out of the mountain with Yuan Tiangang to assist Emperor Taizong to ensure that Li Tang Jiangshan is worry-free.

There are naturally not a few secret books on the art of war in the past dynasties in Guanshan, since Li Weigong is a member of Guanshan, why should he abandon the original and simplify the eight formations handed down by Zhuge Wuhou?

This only proves that our exploration direction is correct, and this mysterious eight-array diagram must have some kind of connection with Guanshan that we have not yet clarified.

However, even if we are in the right direction, we still frown and find that we have no clue after some thought.

Although Ling Xuan's introduction does not sound complicated, in fact, these eight arrays are not static, but adapt to local conditions, and have different changes according to different environments, which are complex and unpredictable.

At this moment, Chen Gong spoke again.

"The so-called Eight Formations has actually been around for a long time, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this statement has been put forward in various masterpieces of the art of war at that time, but it has not been perfected."

It seems that he thinks a little differently from ours, and he is not obsessed with the study of the Eight Array Diagrams, but proposes a different opinion.

Therefore, although these eight arrays were created by Zhuge Wuhou, they were not created out of thin air, and they can be traced back to the five formations in Emperor Xuanyuan's Qiwen, and then through Jiang Taigong's Taigong Art of War, and then to Sun Wu's Art of War, which has been passed down and perfected several times, and this is the time of the Three Kingdoms.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Wei's general Cao Ren once used Liu Bei's eight-door golden lock array, which was seen through by Liu Bei's military advisor Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi at that time. ”

Xue Nan was delicate, and after hearing Chen Gong's words, he understood what he meant after a little thought, and looked at Chen Gong and asked in surprise.

In other words, Zhuge Wuhou did not create the Eight Array Diagram out of thin air, but improved it from the wisdom of his predecessors, and the last thing he encountered before he created the Eight Array Diagram was the Eight Gate Golden Lock Array that Cao Ren put out.

Could it be ......

Could it be that these two sentences did not simply point to the Eight Array Diagram, but alluded to the Eight Gate Golden Lock Array used by Cao Ren? ”

Shen Lang healed the scar and forgot the pain, and when he heard that we had made a new discovery, he turned his head over and asked in a low voice.

"Eight Gates Golden Lock Array? I've seen it when I watched the Three Kingdoms, but I've never noticed it, could it be that these eight golden lock arrays also have a great background? ”

Although Shen Lang raised his own questions, we didn't pay attention to his opening, but began to think seriously, thinking about how possible the idea proposed by Chen Gong was.

Eight Gate Golden Lock Array, as the name suggests, this array is arranged with eight doors in the Qimen Dunjia.

And we have long known that this Tongtian Palace is all built with the Taoist concept of the unity of heaven and man.

If that's the case, the secrets in the Tongtian Palace are related to the Eight Gates, and it doesn't sound like it's half out of harmony

Perhaps there is indeed some connection between the two. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Guanshan Chronicle Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
