Chapter 14: Formation
I sat on the trunk of the tree with my legs on my legs, and when I turned my head to look down, Tan Jian and the others had turned into three dwarfs, looking up at me. Tang Linlin shouted: "How is it, can you see clearly!" "It's a great place to see the valley.
The huge cobalt-blue lake, swaying in the morning breeze, reflects sparkling waves, and on the meadows, you can also see a group of small cervids. The main principle of the Lost Array is to use the formation to confuse people's six senses, so that the trapped people fall into an environment of truth, truth, falsehood, falsehood, and reality. Animals are generally not affected by this, because animals are said to sleep more than people.
If we can't break this formation, maybe we can use the animals here?
After thinking about it, I replied, "It's very open, wait until I put the rope down." "Riding on the tree, I carefully unfastened the safety buckle at my waist, separated it from the rope, and then fastened the previous three ropes together and threw them off the cliff.
The straight rope hangs down, swaying, and the iron-bearing parts collide with the rocks, producing a special timbre.
Zhou Xuanye began to climb up along the rope, and with me opening the way, he went very smoothly, and after a while, he turned over, followed and rode to the tree, and sat behind me.
"Not bad." He took a deep breath, not knowing whether he was praising the air or the vastness of his vision.
As he spoke, he reached out his binoculars and began to observe the valley, and in order not to obscure his vision, I simply hunched my back and lay down on the tree like a koala. Zhou Xuanye looked at it for a while, put down the binoculars, saw my posture, and said with a smile: "This posture is just right, don't move, that's all." ”
It was actually quite uncomfortable to lie on my stomach like this, so I turned my head back and said, "What are you doing?" ”
saw Zhou Xuanye take out a pen and paper from his bag, and said: "I see some clues, I have to arrange the formation diagram, your back is very straight, it is just right for me to be a table." With that, he put the notebook on my back.
I actually wanted to resist the fact that I was being used as a table, but I didn't have a safety buckle at this moment, so the whole person could be said to rely on this tree, and if one didn't stabilize or lost his balance, he would fall from the tree and fall on his head and blossom.
Therefore, for the sake of my own life, I could only give in and lie on the tree as a table. Looking sideways and looking back, you can see Zhou Xuanye picking up the telescope from time to time to look around, watching for a moment, and then lowering his head to write and draw on the paper.
During the whole process, he seemed extremely serious, so I didn't speak, so as not to disturb me. After lying on my stomach for a long time, my muscles are a little stiff, and I always feel that my body has become less controllable. It's a feeling that doesn't mean much on the ground, but in the air, it's a little unsettling.
I couldn't help but say, "Brother Zhou, you stop first." ”
"Huh?" He stopped.
I said, "Since you've climbed up, let me put on the safety buckle first." Don't you think that my current situation ...... Is it particularly dangerous? Zhou Xuanye glanced at my empty waist, and immediately showed a look of sudden realization, hissed in his mouth, and said, "Why didn't you remind me earlier." As he spoke, he pulled the rope up and hung one of the safety buckles towards my waist, and when Zhou Xuanye hung the safety buckle for me, I looked up and suddenly found that there was a big brown bird's nest on this old tree, but because of the perspective of the bird, I could only see the side of the bird's nest, and I couldn't see whether there were birds inside.
At this moment, the safety buckle clicked on, and I felt a tightness around my waist, and as soon as I breathed a sigh of relief, I was about to move my stiff muscles, when I saw a red snake crawling out of the bird's nest.
Ever since I had the experience of Gurbantunggut, I have been a little worried about snakes, not to mention this red and gaudy snake, which looks like a poisonous snake at first glance, and it is so close to me. The viper was obviously interested in me, hissing and spitting out the letter, and raising its head.
At this time, the threat and warning mean that it is not friendly to us, and there is a clear intention to attack.
I suddenly felt that I was unlucky, how could anything come to me.
Zhou Xuanye also saw the crimson snake at this time, he shushed and said, "Don't move, I'll come." As he spoke, he took out his dagger, and then, with a great leap of speed, with a wave of one hand, the poisonous snake that crawled towards me was quickly cut in two, and the fast people were dazzled.
A stream of cool blood splashed on my face, and I reached out to wipe it, and looked back with palpitations. At this moment, Zhou Xuanye's posture has changed, the whole person is squatting, one hand propped on the inclined tree trunk, his body is arched, as if he will jump up at any time, from the posture alone, this is a rather chic posture, but the problem is that it is now at a height of forty meters! The only place we have to stay is this tree! At this time, you don't want to pose!
With Zhou Xuanye's previous jump, the entire tree shook up and down, and the leaves made a brushing sound, not to mention that feeling, the heart of ordinary people really can't bear it.
Zhou Xuanye obviously saw the clue from my expression, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "If you grew up in the mountains like me and meditated on the edge of the cliff since you were a child, you would no longer be afraid of heights. ”
I said, "Your current behavior is called talking cold." ”
Zhou Xuanye smiled casually and said, "I found you unlucky enough." ”
"You just realized that I haven't had enough bad luck?"
Zhou Xuanye touched his nose and said, "Do more good deeds and accumulate virtue, and you will be blessed." ”
A few months ago, I made more than 8 million yuan, and I used it all to do good deeds, but why am I still so unlucky? If it is useful to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, then I will be born in the Fu family in this life, and I have been cheated so badly, it must have been too much damage to yin and virtue in my previous life.
While talking, Zhou Xuanye took out a pen and paper and continued to write and draw, and this time he didn't let me be a table anymore. After a while, he seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly he let out a sigh, and his whole back straightened, and his neck also poked forward.
This should be a subconscious action, representing that he wants to see further.
I couldn't help but look at where he was, but unfortunately I didn't have a telescope in my hand, and I could see nothing but a cobalt blue lake.
"Brother Zhou, what's wrong?"
"That thing came out again, in the lake."
I immediately reacted that he was talking about mermaids.
"It doesn't scream again, does it?"
Zhou Xuanye shook his head and said, "We are far away now, and it is not afraid of ghosts." But now that it's submerged, this thing has intelligence, like it's spying on us. With that, he put down his binoculars and drew the last strokes in his notebook.
At this moment, a picture of the array has appeared on the notebook, black and white, hand-painted patterns like flags, dotted around, and drawn on the paper irregularly. In the center of the 'chess piece', there is a serpentine thing in the city. There is a cross diagram in the center, and the four elephants and eight directions are arranged on the periphery**, plus a base map composed of a spiral disk, the whole looks very messy, with a sense of mystery, people who don't know the doorway, absolutely like watching ghosts draw symbols.
I pointed to the chess pieces and asked, "What do these represent?" ”
"Hetu Luoshu, sixty-four doors are lined up, if you are interested, I can teach you later."
I was excited, and it was good to learn a little more: "What is it to learn this...... How long does it take to learn? ”
Zhou Xuanye cleared his throat and said, "Let me tell you this, I have studied for twelve years. ”
"...... he was really kidding me.
"Okay, you've figured it out, let's just go find the Pressing Stone, let's go." The two of us slowly left the old tree and descended the rope to the bottom of the cliff. Zhou Xuanye directly handed the notebook to Tan Jian on the side.
Tan Jian obviously could understand it, and after looking at it for a while, he was surprised: "It's so simple? ”
Zhou Xuanye nodded: "There is no killing intent, it is relatively easy to deal with, but the formation here is very large, it can be seen that the formation is also for great power, and there are not many people who can do this now." As he spoke, Tan Jian had already circled several positions on the array diagram with a pen, which happened to be around the serpentine line, and then, Tan Jian pointed to a few places that were marked, and said: "This is the big lake in front of us, now we are looking for these positions, and we will definitely be able to make a breakthrough." ”
Without further ado, we decided to start the search clockwise, as we headed towards the nearest area on the map
