Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

"Departure !!" I heard that Zhao Yan had already given orders to the courtyard housekeepers, and the order to set off would soon be carried out, and I had to go a little faster, a little faster, and I kept waving my right arm.

"Cheng Yin!! What happened to you? Can you hear me? Cui Li looked at me in shock.

Yes!!! I can see Cui Li in front of me!! I can see it!!

Zhao Yan !! Hurry back to the courtyard!! I might be able to open the stone door!! "My voice is deep and powerful.

Zhao Yan !! Cheng Yin woke up!! that you shall not leave the courtyard!! He's figured out how to open the stone door!! Cui Li shouted to Zhao Yan, who had not gone far.

It didn't take long for Zhao Yan and his family to return to the courtyard, and of course Miss Wang and Master Wang returned.

"Cheng Shaoxia, are you awake?" Zhao Yan came to my side.

"Well, it may have been a little tired just now, by the way, you must not leave this courtyard now, with your current strength, if you want to break out of the encirclement, it is undoubtedly just a mantis arm to block the ground, and you can't do it yourself." I said all the words I couldn't put into words.

"What Shaoxia said is right, it's just that Shaoxia can't wake up from his sleep, and he has no good way to do it, so he came up with this countermeasure, and he wants to take the young lady and the master out of the encirclement." Zhao Yan's tone was extremely sincere when he spoke.

"Of course I know, you're just trying to do it, but it's too risky, and I'm going to open the stone door." I said seriously.

"Shaoxia, can you really open this door? It was undoubtedly a time to save the young lady and the lord in danger, and I should be grateful. Zhao Yan was about to bow in front of him as he spoke, but I hurriedly stopped him.

"Zhao Yan, Master Wang regards me and Cui Li as friends, so it is only natural for me to save my friend today, why do you need to make this great gift?"

"Cheng Yin, have you really thought of how to open the stone door?" Cui Li asked anxiously on the side.

"It's just speculation, I don't know if I'm right." I humbled myself.

"Shaoxia, what do you think?" Zhao Yan also asked on the side.

"Miss Wang once said that Master Wang went to the 'Ningxiu Pavilion' many times to check books?" My tone was a little low.

"That's true, Daddy did go to 'Ningxiu Pavilion' many times to read books." Wang Ningshuang confirmed again.

That's right, the book that Master Wang reads is 'The Battle of the Three Generals'. Once upon a time, there was a general who led a large army to press in, passing through a city, and after a few days of fighting, the defenders of the city could no longer afford to continue to defend the city. In fact, he could have fled the city, but he didn't, and still led the remnants of his old army to stand on the tower. Its heroic spirit shocks the Quartet...

Although I don't know why Master Wang checked the 'Battle of the Three Generals' many times, this reminds me of one thing, but this matter is closely related to the stone plate next to this stone gate.

"Cui Li, do you know that when Lu Xun defeated Liu Bei and raised troops to the White Emperor City, the Shu army did not move a single soldier, but blocked the army of Eastern Wu from the city gate." I looked at Cui Li and asked.

"Do you mean !!?" Cui Li turned to look at the courtyard: "So that's the case!! ”

"What do you mean by what you mean, why don't we understand at all, when did Lu Boyan of Eastern Wu defeat Liu Xuande in Hanzhong?" Zhao Yan looked at me and Cui Li puzzled, but it's no wonder that the battle of Yiling is not over yet, and Zhao Yan naturally doesn't know the final ending.

"Do you know anything, did Zhuge Kongming, the military advisor in Shu, ever know?" I explained it in a different way.

"I heard my father talk about it, saying that Zhuge Kong knew Qimen Xiao Dunjia, and he was a master in the world." Wang Ningshuang said.

"That's right, Zhuge Kongming knows Qimen Dunjia, so he set up a chaotic stone array outside the city pass as early as when he entered Sichuan." I slowly got to the point.

"What kind of stone formation, what do you mean?" Wang Ningshuang didn't know what to do.

"In fact, the so-called chaotic stone array, in fact, is the stone henge set up by Zhuge Kongming, based on gossip, a total of eight gates, people who rashly enter the stone henge, if they don't know the mysteries, it is impossible to get out of the stone henge in a few days, so although this array does not have a single soldier, it is enough to compare with 100,000 male soldiers." I said earnestly.

"What!! I didn't expect there to be such a powerful formation in the world!" Zhao Yan sighed on the side: "But what does the formation you mentioned have to do with our current situation?"

"When you look at the deserted courtyard, are you also stacked with rocks, layered endlessly, and elusive?" I looked at the rocks in the courtyard and said, "Moreover, you look at the side of the stone gate, is there an octagonal stone plate, it looks very mysterious, and each edge on it also corresponds to words, if my guess is correct, this stone plate is a gossip array!!"

"What!! Bagua Array!! You say that the setting of this stone plate is similar to Zhuge Kongming's Bagua Array? Cui Li frowned.

If my guess is correct, then the difficulty of the stone gate will be older and more difficult when you want to open it, Zhuge Kongming's Bagua Array can trap 100,000 male soldiers, and although the Bagua Array in front of me is not as powerful as Zhuge Kongming's Bagua Array, it is still very simple to trap a few of us.

I looked at the stone gate in front of me and the stone plate next to the stone gate, my face full of doubts, although I didn't know the essence of the Bagua Array, but the words on it were a little inconsistent.

Ning, Fan, Tian, Guang, Secluded, Tian, Mo, Xuan.

This is obviously not the eight gates of the Bagua Array, so what do these words mean?

[Note 1] Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has divided the Han region into nine regions, the so-called "Kyushu". According to the records of "Shangshu Yugong", the order of Kyushu is: Jizhou, Chongzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou. In the Zhou Dynasty, the two states of Xu and Liang were merged into Qingzhou and Yongzhou respectively, so there was no Xuzhou and Liangzhou.

[Note 2] Jingzhou, it is generally believed that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jingzhou originally had seven counties: Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, Changsha County, after the Battle of Chibi, the seven counties of Jingzhou were divided by Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, Cao Cao occupied the largest Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou, Sun Quan got Jiangxia County and Nan County, and Liu Bei got four counties in the south of Jingzhou (Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling). Liu Bei's military security was not conducive to development, so he proposed to Sun Quan twice to borrow the southern county of Jingzhou, and Eastern Wu Lusu persuaded Sun Quan to temporarily lend the southern county to Liu Bei, so Liu Bei had five counties of Jingzhou (Nanjun, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling).
