Chapter 395: Shadow Boulder
After a simple breakfast, due to the bizarre incident in the early morning, everyone's appetite for dining has been reduced a lot.
It can be seen that everyone's mood has been affected to a greater or lesser extent.
Extinguishing the fire for boiling water, Wu Min spread out the topographic map he treasured in his arms and studied it with Jiang Erye.
The remaining three soldiers already had a retreat in their eyes, the mission goal was not yet clear, and the casualties were already so heavy.
Ning Yun glanced at the map curiously, the mountains and rivers in the map were densely intertwined, the lines used were extremely thin, and the scope was vast.
July was recalling the scene at night, looking at the sleepy Zhu Beichen from time to time, probing the pulse, the pulse was stable, not like he was infected with any emergency.
The time pointed to eight o'clock, Jiang Erye signaled Wu Min to put away the map, and the soldiers packed up their equipment and prepared to start again. After discussing the results for most of the day, there was no result at all, and after measuring the comparison of the surrounding mountains with an instrument, Jiang Er Ye decided to move in one direction.
Yang Xi said that he could go, and Zhu Beichen was supported by Qiyue and Ning Yun.
Kong Liu picked up the guns and ammunition left by the missing soldier, as well as two watches, rummaged through them and found nothing useful before leaving.
The wind blew stronger and stronger, and the dust was mixed with the mist, making it difficult to open the eyes.
Along the way, in addition to the never-ending boulders, they are still boulders. It's like an endless maze of boulders that you can never get out of.
Yang Xi asked Qiyue: "Are you afraid?" ”
July replied: "Why be afraid? ”
Yang Xi blushed in embarrassment, and whispered, "Don't worry, even if everyone else is dead, I will protect you and walk out safely." ”
July said: "Do you know something, if you are always like this, it will be difficult for us to get out alive." ”
Yang Xi was silent for a while, no longer speaking, but there was a little confusion in his eyes.
When the two were communicating, Jiang Er Ye glanced at him from time to time, and Wu Min, who also paid attention to the two of them, naturally they couldn't understand the esoteric Gu language.
Because they were walking in the direction of the wind, everyone was blown to the side, and if it wasn't for the boulder blocking part of the wind, it could be said that it would be difficult to move an inch.
Ning Yun said: "Second Master Jiang, where are you going, walking in the direction of the wind, don't say anything about just eating the wind, but the direction must be right." ”
At noon, there was still a huge pile of boulders in front of them, and the soldiers were a little desperate. If you keep being stuck here, waiting for food and water to run out, you will only face death.
Let's rest, Jiang Erye doubts that he has gone in the wrong direction, according to the current walking speed, everyone has walked a full 30 kilometers from the morning to now, and the fog area shown by the topographic map is only ten kilometers in radius, and it is long overdue to go out.
"How many points?" Wu Min asked.
"12:15." Kong Liu looked at the time and prepared to set up a small pot to make a fire and cook some hot food.
Qiyue felt a sore shoulder, and Ning Yun put Zhu Beichen down, leaning on a boulder, he still showed no signs of waking up. Peeling off his eyelids, his eyeballs were constantly moving, a physiological phenomenon that indicated that he was dreaming, and it continued.
July closed Zhu Beichen's eyelids, shook his head and smiled helplessly with pity, thinking: What an enviable thing that he can sleep peacefully and happily at this time.
Smoke was rising, the soldiers were distributing compressed food, Wu Min was wiping his beloved sniper rifle, and Strassman and Jiang Erye were sitting together, chatting again and again.
Kong Liu fiddled with the two watches he had picked up in the morning, which had been worn by two soldiers.
The watch is electronically displayed, and the internal parts should have been damaged, and she didn't bother to look at it carefully in the morning, and now she has time to play with it when she is free.
The time is displayed on the watch screen, which stands still at 1:11 a.m. Kong Liu's heart suddenly beat faster, isn't the watch broken, why can it still display the time?
After pressing several buttons in a row, the watch screen did not respond at all, and the time still indicated 1:11 a.m.
What does it represent, is it the time when the two soldiers disappeared or died? But all the buttons have failed, why is the only time still displayed?
Suppressing the extreme surprise in his heart, Kong Liu picked up another watch, and the time on the watch was unsurprisingly 1:11 in the morning.
Is there any relationship between the two?
Kong Liu looked at the others, some were closing their eyes to recuperate, some were taking small sips of food, and no one noticed what they were doing. She quietly put away her watch, intending to see what would happen at this point in the night.
Jiang Erye was studying the map again, and according to the terrain plotted on the map, it was possible to reach a swamp forest through the boulder mist, and the final goal was behind the swamp forest. No one had ever seen this map except for Wu Min and himself, so no one knew that there was an eerie skull drawn above the area representing the boulder fog on the map.
It was a symbol of extreme danger and a symbol of death!
I'm afraid that here, there will be people who will continue to die.
Every time we camp, it has become a habit to set up electronic warning equipment. Due to a deviation in the route, the day's trip ended early, and Wu Min gave the order, and the rest of the time was half a day and a half, plus a long night.
Just as Jiang Erye and Wu Min were studying the sheepskin map, July suddenly appeared behind him, and the whole map fell into view.
"What does a skull represent?"
The two were taken aback, July's approach made them defenseless, Wu Min immediately closed the map and pointed his gun at July: "What do you want to do?" ”
July raised his hand, dressed in thin clothes and unable to hide any offensive weapons: "I just want to remind you of one thing. ”
Wu Minhu said suspiciously: "What? ”
July said to Jiang Erye: "Jiang Erye, you are well-informed, you should have heard of Guilintan-Sangluzhou." ”
Return to Lintan, Sangluozhou.
The memory pulls Jiang Erye back to decades ago, returning to Lintan, surrounded by mountains and rivers, bordering Poyang in the south, living in the Yangtze River in the middle, and leaning on Leichi in the north. Sangluk Island is blessed with a unique geographical situation.
When Jiang Erye was still a hairy boy, he followed the elders of the family to Sangluozhou, and the master who was good at finding dragon points in the clan once asserted that there was a water dragon lurking here, which was a difficult to find feng shui treasure cave.
Jiang Erye was overjoyed, and the influence of family culture made him convinced of feng shui numerology, and said excitedly: "If we find the dragon point and hide the ancestors, does it mean that our Jiang family will reach the top of the world in the future?" ”
The master then sighed repeatedly: "The acupoint is a good acupoint, but it's a pity that the qi has been dispersed for thousands of years and has been hollowed out." ”
Zhou Yu's tomb, Chaohu City, Peach Blossom Forest, Wuliuzhuang, Guilintan, the Kyushu Bagua Array built during the Three Kingdoms period built all kinds of buildings according to the mountains and rivers terrain, not only destroyed the feng shui of this place, but also escaped the dragon energy.
Looking at Jiang Erye's thoughtful expression, he guessed that a person like him who was deeply involved in the world, such a treasure of feng shui from the past and present must have some understanding, and said leisurely in July: "The ancient mulberry falls, the vicissitudes of the world, the river waves lap the shore, the green grass ark, the falling flowers are colorful, the flowers bloom at the right time, and the fragrance is like a wild." The boulders overlap, the mountains are maze, the yin and yang converge, the wind and clouds change, the shadows are dusty, and the past is extinguished. ”
The July oral narrative is a song that was passed down in ancient times in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and Jiang Erye has naturally heard of it, but he can't figure out what kind of relationship Sangluozhou has with this place a few miles away.
After the instrument was set up, the receiving equipment in front of Wu Min began to work, and the temperature at noon was a few degrees higher, which seemed a little stuffy.
Jiang Erye wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and looked at the boulders around him, which were indeed somewhat similar to the stones used to arrange the Kyushu Bagua Array that Sang Luozhou and his party saw decades ago, and said, "You mean that the boulders are used to build the Kyushu Bagua Array?" ”
Wu Min trembled all over, what she was most afraid of was the Xuan and Xuan formation, she didn't know anything. I don't know how many years the boulder has been placed here, and it is a question of whether it can still work, and even if it can still be used, what is the energy of the trend boulder, trembling and repeating: "Kyushu Bagua Array?" ”
July expressed his analysis: "This is one of them, and the layout of the two is similar, and it cannot be ruled out that it is the same formation. In the song that has been handed down, it seems to be a description of the terrain of Sanglu Island, but have you noticed that 'the shadow is dusty'? This is the key to the whole ballad, the ancient formation layout and the wisdom of the ancients are far beyond our imagination, and the shadow side means that the Kyushu Bagua Array is a group of formations, not a single one. ”
The Shadow Array is a little-known word in Qimen Dunjia, and there are very few people in the modern Array who know the Shadow Array, and the well-informed Second Master Jiang is also puzzled.
I have long known that this girl is not simple, and when she walked through the entrance of the sand-buried ancient city and opened the eight-gate passage, Jiang Erye was suspicious, "The shadow array is unheard of." ”
July patiently explained: "The shadow array is a technique handed down from ancient times, one yin and one yang, it is said to be a formation that communicates the two worlds, the yang side is arranged in the yang room, and the yin side is under the nine shadows of the underworld. ”
Of course, this kind of arrangement is bizarre and has no practical effect. Imagine what it would be like to place the formation in the underworld.
"The shadow array explains the principle of symmetry of yin and yang, relying on each other, the number may not be one yin and one yang, it may be that the eight formations rely on each other, or even more." After explaining in July, wait for Jiang Erye to say.
Wu Min's comprehension ability was unique, and he quickly reacted, "The benefits of the shadow array can not be compared with chopsticks, the more chopsticks there are, the more difficult it is to break them." ”
In a word, what Wu Min said was correct, and July nodded in approval.
In this way, the boulder in which he is located may be the other side of the Sangluzhou Kyushu Bagua Array, and the two rely on each other, and the power is invisibly strengthened.
July said: "It's just my analysis, I don't know what it is, and I don't know if it has anything to do with Stonehenge in Sangluchu." ”
