Chapter 41: Tai Chi Senluo

The staircase is relatively wide and can accommodate three or four people walking side by side. The stairs www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion go all the way down, and it is relatively steep, and it is quite difficult to walk. We walked for more than ten minutes and there was no road ahead. But Professor Li fumbled at the end and quickly found the switch. The end suddenly opened, and an empty place appeared in front of it.

We came to a place where there seemed to be no end, and there was no end in sight to the front, left and right, except for a wall behind us that had no edge. There is a thin layer of fog around it, and it looks rather eerie. There are many pillars standing around, and the pillars "stand up to the sky and the earth". The top is not high, only three or four meters.

That's when I noticed two lines of words on the wall behind me. This kind of writing is engraved crookedly, it is estimated that it is an ancient script, and I have not studied the ancient text and cannot understand it. At this time, everyone also found the writing on the wall, and they all gathered. Professor Li walked to the front and looked carefully.

"Professor Li, what do these weird words mean?" The commissioner asked.

"These words roughly mean: Whoever dares to step in, I will take your flesh!"

The crowd was shocked.

"These curse texts can be found in large tombs or treasure hiding places." "It's just to scare thieves who steal treasures." The spell of the pharaoh inside the Egyptian pyramids is a prime example. Don't be afraid, let's go, don't be in a daze here! ””

"Wait a minute!" Master Zhang said, "You can't just walk here!" Stay where you are. ”

"What?" The commissioner said, "What's going on?" ”

Master Zhang walked to the front, looked at the seemingly boundless distance, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this place belongs to the most difficult formation of the Liangyi Formation called Taiji Senluo. Because the formation design is very ingenious, and a layer of mist obstructs the vision, if people who don't understand the formation walk in rashly, even if they are not killed by the trap, they will get lost in it and die and can't get out. ”

"So we're going to go back the way we came?" Ma Lu asked.

"If this place is designed as Tai Chi Senluo, it means that there is something important hidden behind the formation!" Professor Li said, "Maybe there's the bundle we're looking for." We'll have to find out! ”

"Is there a way to get there?" Ma Liu asked Master Zhang.

Master Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Although Taiji Senluo is a very complex formation, it is nothing more than one of the two yi formations, and it can't get out of the concept of two instruments. But the most difficult part of this formation is to seek death in life and life in death. It's a tricky formation that even knows how to crack it. ”

"Master Zhang, don't talk about those metaphysical theories that we don't understand!" Ma Lu said impatiently, "I was born in the military, how do I know so much, let's go straight to the topic!" ”

"Alright! I'll try to keep it simple. Master Zhang drew a Taiji diagram on the ground, "The two instruments here are yin and yang, and the two yi formations are centered on the eight trigrams, and the eight trigrams are half white and half black, representing yang and yin respectively." But have you noticed that the black half of the gossip has a little bit of white, and the white half has a little bit of black? This is the key to unlocking Tai Chi Senluo. If you put the Bagua diagram into the Taiji Senluo formation, the white half is the area where there is no danger, and the black half is the danger zone.

There will be two exits for Tai Chi Senluo. One is the door of life and the other is the door of death. The door of life is the white point in the gossip, and the door of death is the black point in the gossip. The problem is that the door of death exists in areas where there is no danger, and the door of life exists in areas where there is danger. In addition, the mechanism is always in motion, so what was originally a safe place may become a dangerous place after a while. So this formation is quite tricky. ”

"That is, if we want to reach the Shomon, we will definitely encounter danger?" Captain Cao said.

"Yes!"

"What is a formation called a formation without a cracking method!" Ma Liu said, "Isn't it okay for him to just put traps around him?" What are you doing with so many famous halls? ”

"You're wrong!" Master Zhang said, "Although this formation does not have a perfect crossing method, it also has the meaning of cracking him!" You take a closer look at the gossip on the ground! ”

"What's wrong?"

"The purpose of cracking Tai Chi Senluo is to find the closest way to the Shengmen in an area where there is no danger. There must be dangers, just a few problems! ”

"Master Zhang has a point!" The commissioner said, "So what are we going to do next?" ”

"Rest in place!"

"What?" The commissioner looked at Master Zhang in surprise, he didn't seem to expect Master Zhang to say such a thing.

"It's not early!" Master Zhang said, "Let's have lunch first. It will take me some time to crack this path. Let's rest first! ”

"Okay!"

I looked at my watch and saw that it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. I guess it was because of the strange things that happened before that made me nervous, and I didn't feel hungry. But the tiredness can be felt more or less.

Then Captain Cao ordered everyone to rest, and in order to guard against possible unknown dangers, he told Ah Chun and another team member to be on guard all around.

Everyone began to light a fire and start cooking. It turned out to be true that Captain Cao said that our food could last everyone for more than a week, and it was only then that I realized that many soldiers were carrying rice and canned food in their big backpacks. I suddenly felt guilty that I was carrying only makeshift autopsy kits and water in my small backpack. They actually carried food and equipment for all of us.

So I gave up my rest time and volunteered to help them prepare food. Soon, the smell of beautiful rice filled this so-called Tai Chi Senluo formation. I've never thought the rice tasted so good. Maybe I was too hungry after my nerves suddenly relaxed, or maybe it was because eating was the only way to calm people in a dark and oppressive environment.

After lunch, we all rested and waited for Master Zhang to figure out how to unravel the formation. Maybe it's because of lunch, and my mental and physical strength are slowly recovering. The atmosphere around was not as tense as it had just been. The crowd was whispering here and there, and I couldn't hear what they were saying, but at least I felt that the atmosphere had eased a lot.

"Hah! Ha! ”

There was a sharp and eerie laugh in the endless darkness, which was not like what a normal person could make, but more like the scary laughter that the actors in horror movies squeezed out when they pretended to be ghosts.

I had goosebumps all over my body. The eerie burst of laughter in this environment was quite surprising.

I immediately shone a flashlight into the darkness, and I only saw the figure of Ah Chun, who was on guard not far ahead, and nothing else. I thought to myself: If there is really something ahead, it is impossible for Ah Chun not to inform everyone. It seems to be the same as before, it was my auditory hallucination. This auditory hallucinations disturbed me.

Suddenly, I noticed a few more bright lights around my flashlight. I looked to both sides and found that the people around me were all looking nervous, Captain Cao, Ma Liu, and a few others were all shining flashlights ahead, and they all picked up their pistols and made preparations to shoot.

"What's wrong?" I asked the nearest horseman.

"Didn't you hear a shrill laugh in front of you?" Ma Liu said.

"Did you hear that, too?" I was surprised and said, "Isn't it my auditory hallucination?" ”

"Ah Chun, what's the situation ahead? Did you hear the laughter? Captain Cao asked Ah Chun, who was on guard in front.

Ah Chun didn't seem to hear, just kept his back to us and looked ahead.

"Hah! Ha! There was another terrifying shrill sound in the darkness ahead.

Everyone tensed their nerves. Captain Cao motioned for Ma Lu and the other two to go up with him, while the others stood by.

Then they slowly moved in the direction of Ah Chun.

"Haru, answer me! No anomalies found! We're here to answer you! Captain Cao said.

At this time, one flashlight shone on Ah Chun, and three flashlights shone on the endless darkness. Ah Chun's whole body suddenly trembled, and then he quickly ran forward. His actions stunned everyone.

"Ah Chun, where are you going?" Ma Lu in the back asked.

"Hah! Ha! There was another burst of laughter in the darkness ahead.

"Ah Chun must have had an accident! Ma Liu, Ah Mao take him! ”

"Yes!" Ma Liu said and Ah Mao were about to chase after him.

"Wait a minute!" Master Zhang said, "There are traps inside. And the formation will also confuse people, so that people can't find the direction, you just run in like this, ten lives are not enough to die! ”

"What then?" Ma Liu said, "We can't watch Ah Chun go in and die!" Captain, I'm going in! ”

"Don't be impulsive just yet!" Captain Cao was thinking of a way.

"Take me with you!" Master Zhang said, "During lunch, I roughly deduced Tai Chi Senluo, and although I haven't found the specific location of Shengmen yet, I already know where we are in the formation, so that we can avoid danger to the greatest extent." ”

"At your age, you're still rushing with us, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it!" Captain Cao said.

"Hurry up, there's no time!" Master Zhang said.

"Alright! Others stood by and were on guard. Ma Liu, Ah Mao, Ah Sen, come with me! ”

"Yes!" The soldiers replied in unison.

Captain Cao and the others immediately rushed into the endless darkness.

I heard the sound of rapid footsteps echoing in front of me.
