"Maoshan in Jiangsu is the birthplace of the Shangqing School of Taoism, and is called the 'Shangqing Altar' by Taoists. This Maoshan technique has always been strange and unpredictable, in the Maoshan technique, there is a magic array, called the Seven Evil Soul Lock Array, this array is an extremely vicious magic array, by the charm of the seven evil trapped guard, the strongest of the formation is unpredictable, stepping on the eight doors, pulling a hair and moving the whole body, once trapped in this magic array, the three souls and seven spirits of the person will be devastated, until the soul is scattered, just like suffering from the torture of a thousand knives, will not die immediately, will only slowly dry your life. However, this kind of magic circle requires that the caster must have very high mana, otherwise it will not be able to drive the Seven Demons to lock the soul at all, and the caster must be very cruel and ruthless in order to attract the Seven Demons to drive the formation.

Later, a branch from the Maoshan Taoist sect began to devote themselves to the study of Yin House Feng Shui, and they placed the Seven Evil Soul Locking Array in the Yin Mansion and transformed it to create a 'Five Elements Soul Locking Array'. From the Taoist point of view, everything in this world is made of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, between the five elements, gold gives birth to water, water gives birth to wood, wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, and earth gives birth to gold; And gold overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, soil overcomes water, water overcomes fire, and fire overcomes gold. These five elements are mutually reinforcing and balanced with each other, and this array is borrowing the balance power of the five elements. As long as someone breaks into the array, touches the mechanism, changes the aura in the array, and breaks the balance of the five elements, the five elements soul locking array will activate on its own, trapping the intruder in it, and taking their soul until their soul is scattered and dies. ”

Yu Fei and the others were already dumbfounded when they heard it, there was such a strange formation in this world? It's completely beyond their knowledge of the world.

"It's just, how can you break this formation, third child?" Ye Lao suddenly turned his head to Ding Laosan and asked.

"Hehe, how can I break the formation that the master couldn't break back then. Moreover, even though I knew that this Tai Chi acupoint was dangerous and abnormal, I never expected to encounter this Five Elements Soul Locking Array anyway, and I didn't make any preparations at that time, and I didn't bring a formation breaking weapon, so as soon as I saw this magic circle, I retreated. Ding Laosan said.

"So, you came to me on Saturday to break the formation?" Ye Lao suddenly realized.

"Yes, since the master missed because of this...... I know that the second brother has been concentrating on studying this Five Elements Soul Locking Array Formation, so I went to you last week to hear your opinion on breaking this formation. Ding Laosan replied.

Ye Lao straightened up, calmed down a bit, and said slowly: "This Five Elements Soul Locking Array is actually based on Yin and Yang Bagua. Among the eight trigrams, the eight trigrams of Qian, Kun, Gen, Dui, Li, Kan, Xun, and Zhen all have their own five element natures. The nature of the thunder is wood, located due east; It is gold in nature and is located due west; The nature of the fire is fire, which is located due south; Kanshui is water in nature and is located due north; The nature of Kundi is earth, located in the southwest; The nature of Gen Mountain is earth, located in the northeast; Xunfeng is woody in nature and is located in the southeast; The nature of the dry sky is gold, and it is located in the northwest. The Five Elements Soul Locking Array is to drive the Seven Evil Soul Locking Arrays through the changes in the attributes of the five elements of these eight hexagrams. If you want to break this formation, you have to find all five items with attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. With the principle of the five elements of mutual restraint, the eight hexagrams are cracked one by one. ”

Ding Laosan listened to what Ye Lao said, nodded approvingly: "The second brother's analysis is reasonable, and I also think so." However, since this Five Elements Soul Locking Array is located in the Taiji acupoint of the Yin to Yang, the aura of the five elements in each hexagram must have been greatly enhanced, and I am afraid that it is not something that ordinary five elements can break. ”

"So, the third child, you snatched this Red Flame Ice Essence that is said to contain the spirit of water in order to break the formation?" Ye Lao asked.

"Yes, the ice essence in this jade pendant may be the best water. It can also be used to break the position of the fire directly south of this soul locking array. Ding Laosan replied.

Yu Fei still felt a little puzzled: "However, even if you break this Five Elements Soul Lock Array, what can you do?" Will you be able to save your nephew's life? ”

Ding Laosan said: "Whether I can save Hao'er's life, I'm not sure, I only know that if you don't break this formation, you must not be able to save Hao'er." ”

Ye Lao thought for a while and said, "Perhaps, if you want to save Hao'er, you really have to break this formation." People have three souls and seven souls, and the three souls are the heavenly soul, the earth soul, and the life soul; The seven spirits are the heavenly spirit, the spirit of wisdom, the spirit, the strength of the spirit, the central spirit, the essence of the spirit, and the heroic spirit. Since Hao'er and the others have touched the Five Elements Soul Locking Array, it will definitely be difficult for them to retreat with their whole body, I am afraid that he lost his soul in this array, but it may be that there is something on his body that fixes the soul, and keeps his life and soul, spirit, strength, and central spirit, so that he will not die, but it is a pity that other souls are trapped in this soul locking array, so he has become demented. ”

"Soul-fixing things? I see! I understand! It's that piece of jade! It must be the piece of jade I gave him! Ye Lao's inadvertent words made Ding Laosan suddenly understand the reason why Ding Hao was able to die nine times and crawl out alive from there. It turned out that when Ding Hao was a child, Ding Laosan once gave him a peace card made of Hetian mutton fat jade, and Ding Hao has been wearing this card on his body.

"Huh? It turns out that jade also has the effect of fixing the soul? This is the first time that a monkey who loves jade has heard of this kind of statement.

"That's right, the aura of jade and the aura of the human body have a way to blend, and the longer the jade is worn, the more the aura of the two can be connected. As the saying goes: 'People raise jade, and jade raises people', this is the truth. Moreover, if this jade is handed down from the ancestors, the jade will also integrate the aura of the ancestors, which can bless the safety of future generations. Therefore, we Chinese like to pass on jade from generation to generation. Ye Lao said.

These words suddenly made Yu Fei think of the Red Flame Ice Essence Pendant again, although he hadn't worn it for a long time, but it was a family heirloom, and Yu Fei suddenly had a sense of intimacy with this jade pendant. And the beast, who has never been very interested in jade, is also secretly thinking in his heart at this time: "It seems that I also have to find a monkey to get a piece of jade to wear." ”

"However, to break the Five Elements Soul Locking Array in this Tai Chi Acupoint, you have to find all five of the best objects belonging to the Five Elements, even if this Red Flame Ice Essence is considered to be the best water, but there are still four pieces missing, how do you find them?" Ye Lao suddenly looked at Ding Laosan and asked.

As soon as he said that he wanted to break the Five Elements Soul Locking Array, Ding Laosan suddenly came to his senses and replied: "The five elements attributes of the eight hexagrams of Qian, Kun, Gen, Dui, Li, Kan, Xun, and Zhen belong to one water, one fire, two gold, two wood, and two earth. I intend to use this Red Flame Ice Spirit to break through the departure of due south; The pair of yin and yang stones in my hand, taken from the dragon head of the Taihang Mountains, are the best of the soil, which can break the position of due north; I also have a Xuantie sword from the Tang Dynasty, which has helped me to resolve countless dangers, and it should be regarded as the best of gold, which can break the earthquake position in the east and the Xun position in the southeast. In addition, I also want to borrow the jujube wood stick in your hand from the second brother to break the Kun position in the southwest and the Gen position in the northeast. It's just that if you want to break the dry position and exchange position of this nature of gold, I can't think of any superb fire available for a while. At that time, I am going to ask the old ghost to bring the welding torch, and the flame from the welding torch is several thousand degrees hot, and it may work. ”

After listening to Ding Laosan's words, Yu Fei and the others all focused their attention on the blue-black wooden cane in Ye Lao's hand, which was as thick as a child's wrist, and looked like it was hollowed out. Ye Lao saw everyone's doubts, so he explained: "My cane is made of jujube wood from a thousand-year-old lightning strike. It is an excellent thing to ward off evil spirits, and it should also be regarded as the best of wood. ”

At this time, Yu Fei opened his mouth and said to Ding Laosan: "However, Ye Lao once said that he was not sure that my piece was the Red Flame Ice Essence Pei, not to mention that even if it was, the story of this Ice Spirit trapping the Red Flame Beast is just a legend after all, maybe it's just an exaggeration?" It seems too risky to use it to break the formation. ”

"Hehe, since I, Ding Laosan, have done the 'inverted bucket' business, that is, I have pinned my head to the waistband of my trousers, and I have never visited the tomb to touch the gold, I am 100% sure, even if I am fully prepared, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents. Every time, I was fighting for my life. It's the same this time, no matter whether this ice spirit can break the fire or not, I, Ding Laosan, will also gamble on this old life again. After speaking, Ding Laosan turned to Ye Lao again: "Now please ask the second brother to lend me the jujube wood stick in your hand." ”

"Humph! This jujube cane of mine has followed me for many years, and it has long been connected with my blood and lifeline, how can I lend it to you? Hearing Ye Lao's words, Ding Laosan was immediately extremely disappointed, who knew that Ye Lao's words turned around, smiled toothily, and continued: "However, I can accompany you to break through this Taiji acupoint, it's been almost thirty years, and I also want to see this Five Elements Soul Locking Array again." ”

"Ahh Second brother, you are willing to go out of the mountain and go with me to this Tai Chi acupoint! Ding Laosan was very happy when he heard that Ye Lao said that he wanted to go with him! He knew in his heart that since that incident, the senior brother had never entered the cemetery again, and he never imagined that the senior brother would go out of the mountain again for himself this time. In fact, he was completely unsure of breaking the Five Elements Soul Lock Array, but in order to save Ding Hao, he also risked his life hard, and now with the help of his senior brother, Ding Laosan suddenly felt that his hope had increased greatly.

At this time, Yu Fei on the side actually learned Ye Lao's tone and said: "This Red Flame Ice Essence is my family heirloom, although it has not yet been connected with my qi vein, but it gathers the qi of my ancestors!" I'm afraid I won't be able to lend it to you either. However, I can also accompany you to break through, I have lived for twenty-six years, and I have not seen what the Five Elements Soul Locking Array is. ”
