Chapter 5: The Lost Circle
The so-called lookout mountain runs a dead horse.
Chen Anshi and An Qinian walked for more than two hours before they reached the foot of Huashan, about a few kilometers away from the gap, the village that had been destroyed by unknown creatures.
There are ruins everywhere, as if it had undergone a high-intensity earthquake, and not a single house is intact.
Brown traces of residual blood were everywhere, and the information given by Zhao Qingyu stated that these blood stains belonged to the villagers, but they got the news and came to investigate, but they did not find the corpses of the villagers, none of them.
Then, according to the crawling traces of the unknown creatures in the destroyed village, combined with considerations, it was judged to be snakes and reptiles.
Because their predatory mode is swallowing, they do not leave traces of corpses.
It's just that people don't understand, what kind of snake will grow into a diameter of four or five meters, which is still a snake?
The largest known snake on the earth is only 14 or 5 meters, and its diameter is no more than the thickness of an adult's body.
Chen Anshi stood in the huge ditch that was plowed out by the unknown creature, squatted down and grabbed a handful of dirt under the nose of the house, frowned after smelling it, and quickly threw the dirt away.
"Young master, what can you judge by the smell?" An Qinian stood aside and asked.
Chen Anshi said lightly: "Their judgment is right, it's a reptilian right, but it's not a python." ”
"What's that?"
"Jiao."
"Ahh An Qinian immediately understood, "The giant python that has practiced for thousands of years has gone through a catastrophe and has become a Jiao?" ”
Chen Anshi nodded, "I'm afraid this Jiao is inseparable from the giant python that crossed the Huangshan more than ten years ago." ”
"The young master is right, it's not it, it's just that Huangshan is thousands of miles away, what is it doing here?"
"I don't know, but surely it's what it wants?" An inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of Chen Anshi's mouth.
"Got what it wanted? What would that be? An Qinian couldn't understand Chen Anshi's words.
Chen Anshi said to himself: "Maybe I'm also interested in taking things." ”
As soon as he said this, An Qinian suddenly realized, "Young Master, is it something related to the Mandate of Heaven?" ”
Chen Anshi glanced at him and said: "All things have spirits, although human beings are primates, but the induction of the treasures of heaven and earth is far inferior to those creatures that grow and practice naturally, since this Jiao came here, it must have sensed something, but I can't figure it out, why does it create evil?" ”
An Qinian shook his head, even the young master didn't know, how could he know.
The road leading to the grotto in the village is unusually wide, and it is also very smooth by the villagers, so the road is very smooth.
Soon the two arrived at the place of the gap, and seeing the scene in front of them, Chen Anshi couldn't help frowning.
At the end of the road is a canyon, the walls on both sides of the gorge are as straight as a knife, the whole canyon is about 100 meters wide, and the middle is rocky, but it is distributed in a staggered manner.
Of course, this is in Chen Anshi's view, he can see the way.
At the end of the canyon, there is the main peak of Huashan, where there is an entrance, a deep black hole, like the eye of hell, staring at everything in the sun.
If any one who has no insight enters this cave, he will keep it and there will be no return.
Among the rocks in the canyon, there are many bones, animals, and humans, scattered on the ground.
Chen Anshi picked up a stone on the ground and threw it towards the canyon, and the stone that was thrown out was accurately smashed on another stone, and the stone moved instantly under the impact force.
A strange scene appeared.
The canyon, which had just been clear in the sky, suddenly became gloomy, and the depressing breath made An Qinian couldn't help but gasp.
"Young master, the sky has changed."
Chen Anshi shook his head slightly, "It's not that the sky has changed, it's actually a maze array, no wonder there are so many corpses and bones in this canyon." ”
"It is not unreasonable for the Si Wang of the Huashan region to be able to rule for a thousand years, not to mention the thousands of caves in the maze, this maze array alone is enough for people not to dare to cross the thunder pool."
Now he knows why those people who have ulterior motives for the tomb of King Si have gone and never returned, they can cross the maze array and not die, it is all because the ancestral tomb is smoking.
The Lost Array was actually born from the gossip, and according to legend, the eight array diagram of Zhuge Wuhou also came from the gossip.
Hetu evolves innate gossip, Vena evolves acquired gossip, and what is popular in the world now is the acquired gossip of Vena evolution.
It is divided into Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui, and is divided into eight directions, symbolizing eight kinds of things and natural phenomena such as heaven, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire, mountain, and Ze.
It represents the changes and cycles of the world, and the classification method is similar to the five elements, and everything in the world can be classified into the eight trigrams, which is the ancient ancestor of binary and electronic computers.
Although the Lost Array in front of him is not as good as Zhuge Wuhou's Eight Array Diagram, it is enough to confuse people who don't understand the truth.
Although there are no changes in the eight formations, there are also changes in wind, thunder, water and fire, and mountains.
Those stones that look natural, but are placed by people when you think about them carefully, are the foundation of the formation.
Once you step inside, touching the stone will cause the formation to change.
In fact, the formation is a scene control behavior that uses the environment, terrain, and aura to synthesize together, which is a bit like magic.
In the final analysis, it is to affect people's minds, similar to psychological induction, and make people fall into the world of self-conception and cannot extricate themselves.
"Lao An, follow in my footsteps." Chen Anshi commanded.
"Okay, young master."
This Lost Array is not a difficult thing for Chen Anshi, if it is an eight-array diagram, he may make a difficulty.
In fact, those villagers knew how to enter and exit the Maze Array, and as the tomb keepers of the Si Wang, although they could not enter and exit the maze freely, it did not prevent them from worshipping at the entrance of the cave.
Since you want to perform a sacrifice, you have to go through this maze array.
Moreover, the Yinjiang River is surrounded by Huashan and flowing water, only the canyon is a hundred meters wide and the place is the passage, and the other place is the river surface of the wide and turbulent Yinjiang River, and it is the only hole to enter the Huashan River.
Chen Anshi even guessed that many of those who paid attention to the tomb of King Si were estimated to have died at the hands of the tomb keepers.
Just as Chen Anshi and An Qinian stepped into the maze array, they entered the black hole in the maze, and two red lights flashed quietly, and immediately disappeared into the pitch-black ink.
And Chen Anshi seemed to have a sense in his heart, and at this moment he and An Qinian had already walked to the center of the canyon.
Suddenly, he stopped, his eyes staring in the direction of the entrance to the maze, and his deep gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the layers of fog in the maze array.
An Qinian, who almost hit him, steadied his footsteps and said, "Young Master, what's wrong?" ”
"We seem to be being targeted by something."
An Qinian looked around for a moment and thought about it carefully, "No, there was nothing abnormal around here before we entered the formation." ”
Chen Anshi pouted towards the entrance of the maze, "That feeling comes from there, your realm is not enough, your senses are not enough." ”
"Could it be the Jiao?"
"I don't know, let's go!"
An Qinian didn't panic at all, it was his trust in his young master for no reason, what did he care about.
