Chapter Twenty-Three: Qimen Dunjia Array

Beneath the floating sand is hard rammed earth, with log piles deeply embedded in the rammed earth, most of which are just over a foot above the ground, and only a few are tall and low. I tried it, and all the log piles were so strong that they couldn't be pulled up or pressed down, and they should have been made like this when they were built.

I'm really a little worried, such a large hard mound, even if dozens of people use the tools at hand, it will take ten days and half a month to dig down, and if the movement is big, it may alarm the drought below, and the consequences are unimaginable. If I wait for Lu Chengshan to gather a large number of masters to come, it will take a long time, in case we don't want to find the drought fish below, I will become a big sinner, and time will be wasted, and I can't do this without conclusive evidence.

I think this place may be nominally the tomb of the princess of the Peerless Kingdom, but it is actually Lu Yu's "practice room", hiding in it to refine the dry fish. So he should come out to breathe, can he still come out if he is so tightly sealed? Maybe there's a secret passage nearby to get in and out.

I looked around, except for this large mound, everything else had been buried in yellow sand, and Xiaoxue didn't sense that there was any underground space nearby. This large mound may have been specially treated, and we cannot perceive the situation below, except to sense a quiet and powerful cloud of yang energy deep underground.

It took about three hours for us to clear out all the log piles, and in the center were five layers of circles ranging from small to set, the largest circle was about ten meters in diameter, and then there were thirty-two rays, each ray had twelve round stakes, for a total of nearly 1,000 round stakes. Most of the log piles are of equal height, but there are seventy or eighty of them that are about three inches high, and there is no pattern to be seen.

The construction of the tomb is a very serious and rigorous matter, and the sun tomb we have seen on the road has the same height and level of log piles, which is very smooth. Lu Yu must have spent countless efforts to build this tomb, this "Log Sun Array" is used to absorb yang energy, it is very important, it is impossible to act carelessly and make it uneven, so it is intentional, what is the purpose?

Lu Qingwen saw that I had been staring at the stake, speechless for a long time, and couldn't help asking, "Big master, what are you studying?" ”

"In your opinion, if he reserved a secret passage to enter and exit, where would he be?"

Gao Feng sneered: "The grave is used to bury the dead, how can there be a secret passage in and out?" ”

I don't know why I'm a little irritable, but to give Lu Qingwen some face, I still patiently explained: "The drought is an advanced form of zombies, with memories before death, and has thoughts and feelings like a living person. If you continue to cultivate, you will become a dragon's brain, and you will have the ability to slaughter gods and demons, and you may even become a powerful existence that surpasses the gods and Buddhas in the end, so this is also a way of cultivation. Lu Yu chose this path under some specific conditions, and became a drought and his previous memories and thoughts, so he wanted to go out and wander like a living person, and he needed a secret passage in and out. ”

Gao Feng was unconvinced: "That's just a legend made up by the monks, who has ever seen it?" I still want to eat borneol, but I don't have that thing at all."

Xiaoxue was even more unconvinced, and spoke through my mouth: "How do you know that no one has seen it?" In the summer of the twenty-fifth year of Kangxi, there was a lone fight on the sea surface of Pingyang County, three Jiao and two dragons, the whole body was dazzling, and the mouth was spitting fire for several zhang, and the drama fought for three days and three nights and finally killed one dragon and two Jiao, and he was seriously injured and died. There were tens of thousands of people witnessing it at the time, how could it be fake? ”

Gao Feng was stunned for a moment: "You haven't seen it with your own eyes, and you are also hearsay, how can you be sure that it is not made up?" ”

His words were quite offensive, and there was also an expression of underbeating on his face, I was angry, and I wanted to rush over and punch him twice, Lu Qingwen hurriedly said: "Don't talk about it, the topic is too far." ”

I finally suppressed the anger in my heart, and in a bad mood, I waved my hand: "You all go to Amy's side and wait, I want to be quiet and think about something alone." ”

Lu Qingwen hesitated: "Do you want to tell my grandfather about this?" ”

"Love as you like, whatever you want!"

Lu Qingwen looked at me a few times in surprise, and pulled Gao Feng away, I still had some urge to hit someone. Xiaoxue said: "It's strange, we all seem to have become impatient and violent just now, it can't be due to the influence of the drought, right?" ”

I was taken aback, it was true that Xiaoxue and I had become impatient just now, and Gao Feng's reaction was not like usual, but I was afraid that he was really unconsciously affected by the evil qi of the drought.

I silently used my aura, meditated and cleansed, and stood on the top of the mound to continue to observe and study. At present, it is supposed to be in a state of quiet sleep, and its impact on the desert is slow and far-reaching, but judging from the history of Lop Nur Lake, it has been active and has caused a dramatic impact in a short period of time. In addition, most of the 36 countries in the Western Regions disappeared due to drought and plague, which can also prove that the drought was raging during that period...... All of this proves that the drought fish once came out and went in again, and no matter how powerful he was, he was still a physical body, and it was impossible for him to come out directly through the sealed mound.

After thinking about it for a long time, my eyes fell on those log stakes again, and I could already determine that this was a formation used by Dry Kui to absorb yang energy. Since it is a formation, is it possible that there are other functions hidden, and you can enter the tomb by walking to a specific location? I began to look at it from different angles to look at it as if it were a formation.

Looking at it, I had a flash of inspiration: if you don't look at this round wooden pile array as the shape of the sun, then it looks very much like the disk of Qimen Dunjia! Qimen Dunjia has four layers: the heavenly plate, the door plate, the ground plate, and the god plate, and the innermost center of the circle is blank, so it takes five lines to draw. Now in the middle of the top of this tomb is exactly five circles of wooden stakes, which is different from the seven layers of other sun tombs.

The Qimen Dunjia plate is marked with eight trigrams, eight gates, nine stars, eight gods, and the four times and five directions of the heavenly and earthly branches. If we look at the "rays" on the outside as a disk, the thirty-two lines are divided into eight parts, one is used as a dividing line, and the remaining three are just enough to form a bagua, is it no coincidence? In the same way, the information of the Eight Gates, the Nine Stars, and the Eight Gods can also be hidden in these stakes, and a few of the taller stakes represent changes...... This is not only a Gathering Yang Array, but also a Qimen Dunjia Array!

I was so excited that I almost jumped, and at the same time I admired Lu Yu to the extreme, he not only copied the log gathering yang array of the ancients, but also became the Qimen Dunjia array with a slight change, which seemed to be a simple sun pattern, but it hid very complex information. Even if he is a fellow practitioner and is proficient in Qimen Dunjia, because he has a preconceived opinion, he will regard it as a simple Yang Gathering Array, and will not be associated with Qimen Dunjia.

What is Qimen Dunjia? It is said that when the Yellow Emperor fought against the Yellow Emperor, the Nine Heavens Xuannu awarded the Yellow Emperor the "Heavenly Seal Document", which was deduced into thirteen chapters of the art of war, twelve chapters of the law of solitude, and one thousand and eighty rounds of Qimen Dunjia. It can be said that Qimen Dunjia is the most mysterious thaumaturgy in China, with the power to conquer the world and create nature, but later after Jiang Ziya, Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang and others streamlined, only one scale and half claw remained, and then it became something that basically no one can understand in modern times, some people say it is prediction, some people say it is a spell, some people say it is a formation, anyway, it is incomplete, love can be said to be.

After the surprise, I was a little worried, I only knew a little about Qimen Dunjia, and it was based on the remnants that have been circulated today. This array was set up by a master 1,600 years ago or earlier, how could I possibly break it? But it's not without a chance, the Nine Heavens Xuannu is the god of our Yin and Yang family, and the master said that Zhang Liang and Zhuge Liang are also the ancestors of the Yin and Yang family, which is in the same line, and the basic knowledge about Qimen Dunjia is the same. The basic principle of the formation is always the same, and its ingenuity is often set according to local conditions, and if I happen to have the same idea as the person who set up the formation, it is possible to find a way to crack it without fully understanding it.

I began to try to put the information of Qimen Dunjia into this array, the eight disciples were born, rested, opened, shocked, died, Jing, Du, and injured; Nine stars Ren, Peng, Xin, Zhu, Fowl, Qi, Ying, Fu, Chong; Eight Divine Snakes, Zhifu, Nine Heavens, Nine Earths, Vermilion Bird, Gou Chen, Liuhe, Taiyin. After putting it in, find out their changes according to the slightly higher wooden stakes, and compare which game in Qimen Dunjia according to the changes......

It's like deciphering a very complex code, which is very time-consuming and brain-intensive, and the deeper you go, the more complex it becomes, and you can't extricate yourself from it. I was so fascinated that I completely forgot the time, from night to day, and from day to night, without eating or sleeping, the people around me came and went, and I didn't notice who it was. If they hadn't had blind confidence in me, they would have thought I was crazy.

Xiaoxue was also studying with me, and she wasn't hungry or sleepy, so she didn't notice the time passing.

I walked back and forth as I studied, and I don't know how many times I walked back and forth on the small mound, and I always felt that I almost didn't find the right one, and as long as I tried again, I was sure that it would be okay, so I kept trying.

As I walked, I suddenly felt that it was dark in front of me, and I was already in a confined underground space, the light was too dim, even if I had night eyes, I couldn't see clearly, I could only feel that I was in a very dry and stuffy tunnel.

Xiaoxue took out the night pearl to me, under the faint fluorescence of the night pearl, you can see that this is a stone passage, the height is about two meters, the width is less than one meter, the chisel marks on the neat stone slab are clearly visible, there is not even moss, it can be seen that it has been very dry. The temperature here is much higher than on the ground, and there is a strong masculine aura......

I suddenly thought of a question, I sensed a calm masculine aura on the ground before, I thought it was a drought, but in fact it was a huge mistake, in fact, those masculine auras were the essence of the sun inhaled through the round wood array and gathered in the ground, because the ground is sealed and not easy to escape, and Xiaoxue and I only sensed yang energy, not drought.

I couldn't help wiping a cold sweat, fortunately I wasn't too excited to report to Lu Chengshan, otherwise it would have been a big joke and a lot of work.

At this time, I felt that I was very weak and tired, and it would have been fine to not eat or sleep for two or three days with my cultivation, probably because I used my heart and brain excessively, and I, the "old man", was a little overwhelmed. But I decided to go to the front first to make sure if the marsh was here, and then go out to rest and decide what to do next, which would save a lot of time.
