Chapter Twenty-Nine: Breaking the Formation

Nine Palace Bagua Array, according to legend, this array was created by Jiang Ziya, during the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang improved it with Qimen Dunjia technique, used to arrange troops, relying on this array alone, it can resist the enemy 100,000 and be invincible. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The info formation seems simple, but it is all-encompassing and varied, and once you enter this formation, you can instantly lose your sense of direction.

Today's Nine Palaces Bagua Array has long disappeared in the long river of history, and it has not been able to inherit its essence. That said, there is a lot of literature that mentions this formation, and it can also roughly describe the basic principles of it.

What is the Nine Palaces?

To put it simply, it is the nine-square grid, with the middle palace as the center, and the results of the addition of the horizontal and vertical and oblique grids are all equal. Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui represent the eight directions, which also contain the five elements, which are mutually restrained and endless.

Chu Chu told us that there are many differences in the Nine Palace Bagua Array where we are now. Each grid revolves around the middle palace, and the grid represents a maple forest, in the same form, like a grid. This makes it easy to have the illusion that no matter how you go, you will return to the same place.

Zhuge Liang's military nine palace gossip is arranged by people, and the direction can be changed at any time. But this Nammer King's Nine Palaces Bagua Array is composed of maple forests, which cannot be changed or moved at will. In order to make up for the shortcomings, the method of blinding us is adopted, so that we have the illusion of walking in the forest, thinking that we have been walking in a straight line, but in fact, we have unconsciously fallen into the trick and embarked on a detour. In the end, no matter what we do, we have to go back to where we are.

"I didn't expect King Nammer to be so talented, and even mastered the Nine Palaces Bagua Array." When the monk heard this, he was amazed.

"This is not necessarily King Namer's own hand-set formation, if you guess correctly, it should be Mu Rufeng." Chu Chu replied.

Mu Rufeng, a generation of Taoist masters, taught in the deep channel, and was finally used by King Nammer. With his Taoism, it would be easy to arrange this Nine Palaces Bagua Array.

"So what do we do now?" I asked.

"No matter how powerful the Nine Palace Bagua Array is, there will be a gap, and we only need to find this gap to completely crack it." Chu Chu drew a nine-square grid on the ground, and finally pointed to one of the grids and said: "Bagua and the five elements are mutually reinforcing, and this is basically composed of maple trees, and maple trees belong to wood, and gold and gram wood." Dry and exchange belong to gold, in the congenital gossip, dry is returned to the south and returned to the southeast; In the gossip the day after tomorrow, dry is the west, and Dui is the northwest. When we came, the direction was northwest, so the exit of the Nine Palaces Bagua Array here was set in the southeast. ”

The monk and I looked at Chu Chu in admiration, but we didn't expect her to be so deep in the mysteries of gossip and really found the answer. But then it occurred to me that in this maple forest, the compass cannot be used, and it is impossible to distinguish directions, so how can we know where the southeast is?

"The Nine Palaces Bagua Array has a saying that it is prosperous and declining, dry and prosperous in autumn, and declining in winter. It's summer, and it's going to be autumn soon. Although the maple forests here are all similar, we can still distinguish each exuberance and decay, as long as we can find the most lush maple trees in the Nine Palaces, then this place must be the exit. ”

Chu Chu told us that this is just a simple judgment, and it is not so easy to completely crack it, and she does not have this ability. But fortunately, the Nine Palaces Bagua Array has a history of two or three hundred years, and it has been left unattended, and many formations are missing, and they are not perfect. As long as we persevere, we will definitely find the last way out.

According to Chu Chu's analysis, at least we know that the place we are currently in is the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, and we know that this is just a maze, which seems to be walking back to the same place, but in fact it is just entering another same place. It also finds the last way to leave the formation, and can also determine which of the nine identical maple trees is the correct exit.

Now the only thing we have to solve is how to make ourselves no longer take detours, but walk in a straight line.

Finally, we took a piece of rope out of our bag and cut it into ten meters long. Tied to Chu Chu, she led the way in front, and I was pulled at the end. We will be deceived by vision and accidentally take a detour, but at least the rope will not deceive us.

Sure enough, just after hitting the road, the effect came out. Originally, it looked like a straight road, but when the rope was compared, there was a slight tilt. A little tilt may not be a big deal, but if you keep walking at an angle, it won't end up going in circles.

We have been measuring the progress with a rope, although the speed has slowed down a lot, but at least we have no detours.

When we walked to the grid again, it was like going back to the beginning, because everything around us was so similar that even the statues were exactly the same. But if you look closely, you can see that the maple trees are of different thicknesses and the degree of destruction of the statues is also different. This is the destruction of the years, which gives us the opportunity to crack the Nine Palaces Bagua Array. No matter how perfect the formation is, it can't survive the years!

"This formation is really powerful, if you don't know the doorway, you really don't want to go out." The monk was paralyzed on the ground, and said weakly, it seemed that he was hungry, and he was sweating profusely.

"Are we in another square?" I looked around, everywhere was exactly the same, it was really hard to tell, I looked at Chu Chu and asked, "Is this palace grid an exit?" ”

"It's not." Chu Chu shook his head and replied.

"Can you tell which of the gossip grids each of these maple forests belongs to?" I asked again.

"Difficult." Chu Chu frowned, and after a long groan, he continued: "A few palace grids, if nothing else, only the exit and the entrance are different from the two maple forests, and most of the others are similar. ”

"Why did Mu Rufeng leave an exit when he set up the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, it stands to reason that he should have all of us invaders trapped here!"

The Nine Palaces Bagua Array was originally set up to prevent someone from invading, but it gave the intruder a way out, which is completely illogical. Obviously wanting to trap us all here, but kindly giving us a way to escape, the two contradict each other.

The monk smiled and said, "Scholar, don't you understand, this is not the intention of the arranger, but the last resort." ”

It turns out that whether it is Taoist gossip or Qimen Dunjia, they all have to follow the principle of five elements gossip. Where there is yang, there must be yin, there must be life and death, yin and yang are opposite, but they are converted into each other. And the same is true of the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, no matter how high your Dao is and how powerful the array is, it is also inseparable from the principle of mutual growth and restraint of the five elements of yin and yang.

Therefore, this outlet is not reserved for us by Mu Rufeng's kindness, but has to be kept. Otherwise, the entire Nine Palaces Bagua Array would be invalid as a result.

Despite this, people who don't understand feng shui gossip and formations are not good enough, or those who set up the formation are advanced and can't crack the formation, and it is impossible to find a breakthrough.

Deploy the array with the five elements of gossip, and it will be cracked with the five elements of the eight trigrams.

Suddenly, a terrible cry of a baby was heard in the distance, wafting in the deep maple forest, and the listener's vest was cold, which was inexplicably terrifying.

The three of us looked at each other, each with horror in their eyes.

We knew that the monkey must have caught up. But with our current situation, how can we compete with the ghost monkey? In an instant, we jumped up from the ground, lifted our backpacks, and were ready to run.

"We can't be in a hurry, if we run around for a while, we will be like headless flies scurrying around in this maple forest, and we will still return to the same place in the end." Chu Chu stretched out his hand to stop us who were about to escape.

The monk and I looked at Chu Chu: If you don't run, will you still have to fight against the ghost monkey?

At this moment, Chu Chu was extremely calm, there was no trace of panic on his face, and the original uneasiness in his eyes had disappeared. She held the gun in her right hand, quickly untied the rope on her body with her left hand, handed it to me, and said, "You open the way ahead, and we will still measure and walk with the rope." ”

I took the rope in a daze, Chu Chu glanced at the monk, with disdain and ridicule in his eyes, and said softly: "Don't think about running when something happens." ”

Although Chu Chu is powerful, the monk has always regarded her as a yellow-haired girl. And now that he has been taught a lesson by Chu Chu, he still looks contemptuous, which makes the monk's old face red.

The monk gritted his teeth angrily, eager to pounce and fight with Chu Chu, but he was hungry and knew that he was not Chu Chu's opponent. Only the powder gun that was out of his hand was squeaked, and the powder gun, which originally looked very old, was pinched by the monk and creaked.

In this way, we hit the road again, thinking of the ghost monkey that was getting closer and closer behind, and we couldn't wait to run all the way away, but in reality, we could only move forward step by step.

Half an hour later, we had walked no more than a few kilometers, and the ghost monkey had already caught up with us. Looking at the approaching ghost monkeys, I panicked, often taking the wrong way, if it wasn't for Chu Chu pulling the rope behind me to remind me, I was afraid that the road ahead would be in vain.

This time, the ghost monkey did not hesitate and pounced directly on us, and suddenly, the sound of gunfire behind us rang out, as well as the roar of the monk.

Chu Chu and the monk fought and retreated, preventing the ghost monkey from approaching us. My task is to continue to find a way out of the maple forest ahead, and if we can get out of this maple forest sooner, we will be saved.

I kept telling myself to calm down, not to panic, to watch the route carefully, not to go astray. Under the high pressure, I was extremely nervous, sweat was pouring from my forehead, and my back clothes were soaked.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a heavy impact came, and the maple tree was knocked to the ground, although it was far away from us, the maple tree was tall and collapsed, almost crushing the three of us.

I don't know what's going on behind me, why such a thick maple tree can be knocked down so easily. Even if it's an elephant, it can't do it without more than ten hits. The strength of the ghost monkey is great, but it is far worse than that of the elephant.

I turned my head and looked at the maple tree that had fallen to the ground, although Chu Chu and the monk were embarrassed, they could barely resist the attack of the ghost. But now the eyes of the two were also frightened, and they didn't know what kind of monster was coming.

"Find your way, don't delay." The monk hurriedly urged.
