Volume 2 The Stone People of the Western Regions The Stone People of the Western Regions Chapter 70: Ghost City

Bamen Dunjia, also known as Qimen Dunjia.

It is rumored that it was widely used during the reign of Emperor Xuanyuan. That is, the eight trigrams are used to record the direction, and then the nine palaces are used to record the intersection of celestial phenomena and earth phenomena, the eight doors are used to record personnel, and the nine stars and eight gods are used to record the surrounding environment. It contains time and space.

In the wars of China's feudal era, Qimen Dunjia was often used by military families to send troops to win by surprise. In the hands of the alchemist, it is often used to predict good luck and evil.

I don't have a deep understanding of easy learning, and I've only heard the word Qimen Dunjia.

After Zhang Xiuxiu heard the fat man mention the Eight Gate Dunjia, she asked the fat man: "Old Zhang, is this Eight Gate Dunjia the gossip array used by the feather fan Great Immortal Zhuge Liang?" ”

The fat man rolled his eyelids, gave Zhang Xiuxiu a thumbs up, and then said: "In ancient China, the most expressive use of these eight Dunjia was Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period. He evolved the Bamen Dunjia into the Bagua Array! ”

The scientific name of the Bagua Array is the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, nine is the extreme number, take the number derived from six and three three, and Yi Youyun: two in one life, two in three, and three in all things. There is also the so-called Taiji gives birth to two yi, two yi gives birth to four phases, four phases give birth to gossip, gossip and changes sixty-four yao, and the cycle has changed endlessly.

As he spoke, the fat man looked back at the street behind us, and the wooden houses on both sides were still quiet, and the beam of the flashlight flickered past, looking gloomy and compassionate. This kind of scene reminds me of when I was a child, watching Lin Zhengying's zombie movies.

I asked him what it meant by the presence of Dumen here. The fat man didn't answer me, and took out the compass from his backpack, this compass was not the little compass he pretended to be a ghost at the Gobi stall. Rather, it is the compass that the fat man used when choosing a camping spot when we discovered the "Flat Dragon" mountain range in Altay.

Seeing that the fat man suddenly paid attention, all of us held our breath, and I didn't continue to ask him what the two official letters meant.

Under the light of our headlights, I suddenly saw that the compass in the fat man's hand was also engraved with the word "Dumen"! At this time, the fat man just turned the position of the compass engraved with "Du Gate" to the opposite gate in front of us.

As soon as I turned to this position, I saw that the fat man closed his eyes, held the compass with his left hand, and quickly pointed on the compass with his right hand! To my surprise, although the fat man had his eyes closed, every time his movements were over, the compass stopped in the same position. In other words, every time the compass stops, the Dumen on the compass is opposite the city gate in front of us!

He moved so fast that I can't count how many times he went back and forth. Finally, as his last movement stopped, so did the reciprocation!

In fact, it didn't take too long from the time he started to take out the compass to the end. It's just that this place seems to be independent of the world we are familiar with, and all time and space have become strange. It makes people feel inexplicably like years, as if when we are all holding our breath, the fat man's series of actions have disappeared

It took centuries in general!

Seeing the fat man slowly open his eyes, I asked him how he was.

Actually, I don't even know what the purpose of the fat man's action is, and I don't know what it means for this Dumen to appear here.

The fat man was still holding the compass, took a deep breath, and said to Sister Ning: "Fairy Ning, can you let everyone obey my command for a while?" I was careless just now, and I didn't find out what was so powerful about this city. This city looks peaceful on the surface, but in fact there is a mystery inside! Here, it's a gossip city! If you make a slight mistake, you will go astray! ”

Seeing that the fat man's tone became positive, Sister Ning nodded, and then explained to everyone.

Although Sister Ning's team follows the second uncle all the year round, the training they have undergone is the training of some special forces. As for this, stargazing and looking at the water, it is not what they are good at.

I suddenly thought of a question and asked the fat man, "I said, fat brother, are we mistaken?" According to what you said, this city is a gossip city, that is, the formation in the city hides the gossip array. Just like Xiuxiu said, this gossip formation was researched by Zhuge Liang. And Zhuge Liang is a figure in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the city in front of us is the architectural style of the early Han Dynasty. Don't...... Could it be that Zhuge Liang didn't die, but traveled back to the early Han Dynasty and went to the Gobi Desert to help the people of these "geocentric countries" build cities? ”

Before the fat man could speak, Yiyi said: "Su Mo, the Bagua Array was actually not created by Zhuge Liang, but invented by Sun Tzu in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!" ”

The fat man snickered on the side: "Xiao Su, I was taught by Xiao Nizi." In fact, what Yiyi said is not entirely correct, the name of this gossip array is only a name after Zhuge Liang used it. It used to be called the Eight Gate Array, during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang was improved, and the command platform was added in the middle, guarded by archers and infantry, and the command changed the formation, and since then this gossip array has 4416 kinds of changes, so it is famous all over the world! ”

This series of performances of the fat man was impressed by everyone, including me and Sister Ning. I found that as long as he was in the underground world, the fat man could show an unrivaled momentum, and such an aura gave people a sense of security.

Yiyi saw that I didn't speak, thinking that after she pointed out my ignorance, I became depressed, so she said, "Su Mo, you don't have to take it to heart. My senior brother and I have been watched by my father since we were children and read a lot of books on formations, so we know so well. ”

I shook my head and explained to him. Then he asked the fat man: "General, the enemy's formation has been laid out!" How do we charge next? ”

In today's situation, we simply do not dare to move forward rashly. As the fat man said, this entire city is a huge gossip array, then, we take a wrong step, and we don't know what will happen. Although this place has been abandoned for I don't know how many years, it can be this big

The construction of such a city must not be purely for the sake of beauty.

The fat man glanced down at the compass and said, "Thanks to our luck, we didn't step into the door of death!" For a while, you must keep an eye on the team, and you must not separate. ”

Then he turned around and told me to watch Yiyi, and I nodded. I'm closest to him, and Yiyi and Xiaoqian are always next to me. After the fat man finished speaking, he walked out of the city gate and left the city. I pulled Yiyi and Xiaoqian and followed closely.

We waited outside the door for a while, and found that Sister Ning and the others did not follow. I went to the city gate with a flashlight, and at the same time shouted Zhang Xiuxiu's name.

When my flashlight beam slipped into the city, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat! Sister Ning's team, which was originally not far from the four of us, disappeared at this moment! The city is empty, except for the gloomy streets of black stone and the wooden houses on both sides!

When I was surprised, I felt my arm being grabbed, and when I looked back, it was the hand of a fat man. At the same time, my headlamp and flashlight were turned off by the fat man. Without the light, it was pitch black in front of my eyes. As soon as I was about to speak, I heard the fat man say to me in my ear in a voice that only I could hear, "Don't make a sound, there's something in the door." Come with me! ”

When I heard the fat man's words, my hairs immediately stood on end. I didn't know what he meant when he said there was something in the door, so I could only follow him backwards with the force he pulled me. At the same time, subconsciously looked into the city gate.

It didn't matter, my scalp exploded immediately! I found that in the door where Du Gate was written on the door we just walked out, the street that was originally empty and empty, at this moment, there were countless figures! At the same time, there was a shouting inside! It was as if in an instant, the whole town came alive!

All the glowing artifacts on my body are all fat and gone. After there was no artificial light, the whole city was immediately shrouded in a faint glow, as if there was a ghost city in front of me!

My legs and feet began to go limp after seeing what was going on inside the city, and I was completely dragged by the fat man to the edge of the bridge.

As far as I can remember, the gate we entered was just a few meters from the bridge. But the fat man dragged me far, definitely more than the distance we came.

After arriving at the bridge, I saw Yiyi and Xiaoqian standing on the bridge, and the flashlights in their hands were all turned off!

When they saw me coming, the two of them immediately came to check on me and were relieved to see that I was okay.

It took me a while for my legs to start to get back on my feet. I asked the fat man what was going on.

The fat man sighed and said, "I'm still careless!" In fact, the formation of this city has already been activated! Sister Ning and the others are trapped in Dumen! ”

I just wanted to ask him if he saw those figures in the city, so I heard Yiyi ask me: "Su Mo, you just now."

Why are you in a daze, no matter how you call it, you don't react!"

I was a little dazed by her question, I just walked out of the city gate with the footsteps of the fat man, I just used a flashlight to the city a few times, and shouted a few times Sister Ning and them, when were you in a daze?

I thought Yiyi was joking with me, but when I saw Yiyi's serious expression, I suddenly felt that things had become complicated! My memory went blank for a moment, and I didn't remember what had just happened!

When Yiyi asked me, the fat man kept fiddling with the compass, and after he stopped, he heard him say, "Xiao Su, do you remember that this state of yours has ever appeared?" ”

"Ever appeared?"

I immediately asked rhetorically, but as soon as the words came out, I immediately remembered! This state has happened before! In Zhao Tuo's underground palace, on the bluestone steps outside the ice cellar room containing corpses and headless white bones! I was in almost the same state as I am now, and if the fat man hadn't been with me then, I would have walked into that weird room again and froze to death!

I didn't know if there was any connection between all this, and I looked at the fat man in a daze.

The fat man glanced at the ghost town in front of us, and then said leisurely: "In this city, there is still a panting existence!" ”
