Chapter 544: Seven Stars vs. Seven Deaths

The picture presented in front of Chen Ziyang's eyes at this time has appeared in his dreams countless times, and the way these eight coffins are placed is exactly the same as that described by Chen Ziyang's grandfather Chen Benyi in the "Civil Engineering Collection", except that the stone pillar in the center of the eight coffins that may contain mercury is missing.

Seeing these eight coffins, Liu Cong was also shocked, after all, he knew about the Seven Tombs in the tomb of Zhang Taixu in Shandong back then, so seeing the eight sarcophagi in front of him, Liu Cong also understood what the team was going to face.

Although the area of this space is very large, it is much smaller than the hall where everyone stayed for a night before, there are still some braziers around this space, and there are some ointment and rags soaked in the ointment inside the brazier, Liu Cong asked people to carefully light up all these braziers against the side wall of the room, so as to better check the situation of the eight coffins.

The firelight illuminated the room, and under the light of the fire, the eight pale sarcophagi were even more hideous. Guo Huaxing and Zhang Linfu stared at the eight coffins with solemn expressions, and Chen Ziyang knew that it was very likely that these two people had also heard more or less about the Seven Tombs before.

But if you want to say that the person who is most familiar with the Seven Dead Guardian Tomb Array, it is none other than Liu Cong. Because when Zhang Taixu's mausoleum was dug up for the second time, Liu Cong participated in that operation, and later he found a way to restore the contents of the booklet, after all, Liu Cong had seen the eight coffins with his own eyes and saw the Seven Martyrs Guarding the Mausoleum with his own eyes.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang turned his head to look at Liu Cong on the side. After staring at the eight coffins for a while, Liu Cong said to himself: "There are indeed seven mourning tomb guards here. ”

"Sure enough? Liu Cong, what do you mean by this? Did you know that you would encounter the Seven Martyrs Guardian Array here? ”

"It's not that I estimated, but that Old Man Chen estimated. In fact, it is very reasonable to think about it, there will be seven martyrs in Zhang Taixu's mausoleum, which is originally impossible. Zhang Taixu is a Maoshan Danshi, and with his Taoism, he should not be able to arrange such a powerful formation.

However, there is indeed a Seven Mourning Guarding Tomb Formation in his tomb, and there is only one possibility that can explain it, that is, Zhang Taixu has been in contact with the Seven Martyrs Guarding Mausoleum Formation before, or he has read relevant classics.

But we all know that he has entered the Taoist Holy Land, so we speculated before that it is very likely that Zhang Taixu is the Seven Martyrs Guardian Tomb Array that he encountered in the Taoist Holy Land, so it is not strange that the eight coffins in front of him are placed here.

Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian both entered the Taoist holy land, and the graves of both of them were extraordinary. Although the scale of Zhang Taixu's tomb is very small, the Seven Mourners Tomb Guardian Array inside is not to be underestimated, in fact, it was that formation that made Old Man Chen and his father suffer a great loss.

Wang Dingqian's grave was even more powerful, and the Dragon Digging Society dispatched hundreds of people, but the result was a loss of soldiers and a great loss of vitality.

Now that I think about it, maybe these two people have got some opportunities from the Taoist Holy Land, if my guess is correct, it is very likely that the Dragon Digging Society encountered in Wang Dingqian's tomb back then was the zombies we met before who sealed the Heaven and Earth Gangqi. ”

"Zombies? Why are you so sure, even if what you said before makes sense, how can you be sure that the mechanism in Wang Dingqian's tomb is a zombie? ”

"There are two reasons, if the mechanism in Wang Dingqian's tomb is also the Seven Dead Tomb Protection Array, the Dragon Digging Society will not lose so many people, and only needs to replace the dead spirits in the coffin with seven people, then this formation will be self-defeating.

The second reason, and the most important reason, is that now we have come to the end of the Taoist Holy Land, except for the Seven Martyrs Guardian Array, the most powerful thing we have encountered is those zombies that have sealed the qi of heaven and earth. I can't think of any other mechanism that could allow the Dragondiggers to lose so many men. ”

"We've come to the end? Now how can you speak in a fog, where do you see this, why can't I understand it at all? Ever since he saw the eight coffins, Chen Ziyang's mood has not been calm, so much so that his thinking has become a little confused.

"Don't just keep your eyes on the eight coffins, look at the stone door on the other side."

After listening to Liu Cong's words, Chen Ziyang finally took his eyes off the eight coffins, and when he saw the things on the stone door opposite, his eyes widened again, and this time he was even more surprised than when he saw the Seven Dead Soul Protector Formation.

On a stone gate on the opposite side, a swastika pattern composed of four dragons is carved. This pattern is the one that Zhang Taixu carved on the back of the bronze compass he left behind.

At first glance, when he saw this pattern, in addition to being shocked, Chen Ziyang also felt a little unreasonable, how could the pattern of the clue of the dragon vein treasure of the Great Qing Dynasty appear in the Taoist holy land built in the Tang Dynasty, but when he looked around, he understood the truth.

The stone walls on all four sides of this room are carved with some lifelike patterns, these patterns are either people, or mythical beasts, different forms, lifelike, very realistic, but all the patterns are relief.

Only the swastika pattern on the opposite stone wall is carved, which is carved directly on the smooth stone door, which is obviously different from the surrounding relief style, and looks a little out of place.

And the funniest thing is that the "swastika" pattern on the stone door is not carved very well, the four dragons are fat and thin, long and short, just like a child's graffiti, it seems that Zhang Taixu is not very suitable for being a sculptor.

"That's also the clue that Zhang Taixu left us. It seems that the iron book that contains the secret of the treasure of the dragon vein of the Great Qing Dynasty should be behind the stone gate. Liu Cong said after a long sigh.

Chen Ziyang knew the reason why Liu Cong sighed, even if he didn't have to come forward to check, he knew that it was impossible to destroy the stone gate on the opposite side by external force, and the mechanism that opened the stone door should be hidden in the eight coffins, except for the coffin with the mechanism, the other seven coffins were filled with dead spirits.

Liu Cong ordered people to briefly look around to see if there were any other clues, and Chen Ziyang once again put his eyes back on the eight sarcophagi.

Slightly different from the records in the "Civil Engineering Collection", these eight coffins are much larger, and the grade is also much higher. The eight coffins in Zhang Taixu's mausoleum are very simple, they are carved out of white stone, and there is not even a decorative pattern on them.

But the eight coffins in front of them look very gorgeous, except for the bottom of the coffin is invisible, the other five sides are all carved with a variety of patterns, from the depth of these patterns, the stone made of these coffins is very heavy, I am afraid that a coffin lid will weigh several tons.

With such a heavy coffin lid, even if the fathers of the two brothers, Chen Benzhong and Chen Benyi, were resurrected, they could no longer be opened with the force method of "back lifting the coffin".

"Liu Cong, since you have already guessed that you will encounter the Seven Martyrs Protecting Tomb Formation in the Taoist Holy Land, then you must have studied this formation a long time ago, is there any way to crack it."

In fact, Chen Ziyang has also studied the Seven Dead Spirit Protector Formation in his spare time. He had consulted a large number of classics, but the records of the Seven Deaths Guardian Formation in all the classics were almost the same, and this formation was really difficult to crack.

It may be that Zhang Taixu didn't get the essence of this formation back then, so he left a loophole, so that Chen Ziyang's grandfather caught some clues and judged the real coffin from the depth of the floor tiles.

But Zhang Taixu is also lacking in virtue enough, he even arranged a back move, using mercury to make up for his lack of the Seven Dead Tomb Formation, and his back move also played a role, so that Chen Ziyang's grandfather died in the tomb.

After turning around these eight coffins several times, Chen Ziyang found that the Seven Mourning Tomb Formation arranged in the Taoist holy land was really seamless, and the eight coffins looked exactly the same, and there was no trace at all to judge which one was the real coffin.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyang nodded, he probably guessed why his great-grandfather would trigger the mercury mechanism, it was because his great-grandfather was not the descendant of the Maoshan lineage.

The reason why Zhang Taixu arranged the Seven Dead Spirit Protector Formation in his tomb actually played a role in selection. Zhang Taixu hopes that a Taoist descendant can really crack this formation, if he can't even crack the Seven Dead Soul Protector Array in his tomb, there must be no way to deal with this Seven Dead Soul Protector Array in the Taoist Holy Land, and there will be no way to get the iron book he left behind.

And the reason why his grandfather hit the mercury mechanism by mistake after opening the correct coffin back then is most likely because he didn't open the other coffins and didn't release the dead spirits inside, so he didn't really crack the Seven Dead Soul Protector Formation.

At that time, it was very likely that the mechanism set up by Zhang Taixu would only seal the mercury mechanism after opening the other seven coffins containing the dead spirits and completely killing the dead spirits.

Zhang Taixu had already left clues early, and even left a simplified version of the Seven Dead Spirit Protector Array for selecting the descendants of the Taoist, but now that the real Seven Dead Spirit Protector Array was in front of him, Chen Ziyang knew that he had no choice but to pin his hopes on Liu Cong's side.

Really. After hearing Chen Ziyang's question, Liu Cong nodded and said, "Although we have been studying for several years, the results of the research are very ridiculous. The seven Dead Spirits in the Seven Dead Guardian Array are one with each other, and as long as one is released, the other six will wake up together.

If you want to crack this formation, there is no opportunistic way at all, you can only kill seven Dead Spirits. ”

Hearing that the results of Liu Cong's research were consistent with his own research, Chen Ziyang felt a little disappointed, after all, this Seven Deaths Soul Protector Array was too powerful to be cracked by idle people.

"It's not an easy thing to kill the dead spirits, not to mention that this formation may have been arranged by Yuan Tiangang, and the dead spirits inside may also have been refined by Yuan Tiangang himself, and the dead spirits inside the coffin may be much more powerful than ordinary dead spirits.

The yin qi here is extremely heavy, and it is very likely that the seven coffins containing the dead spirits are the yin things we have been looking for, and those yin spirits are bred from these coffins, so it seems that the dead spirits in this place are even more extraordinary.

From what you said, I can tell that you should have been prepared for this matter, is there any specific way? ”

Liu Cong gave a contemptuous smile, and then he let a member of the team with a heavy backpack come to his side. After opening this backpack, Liu Cong poured out a lot of supplies from it, and finally he pulled out a large pile of silver clothes-like things at the bottom of this backpack.

When Liu Cong completely unfolded these things, Chen Ziyang realized that they were seven huge silver charms. These charms are like long banners, each one more than a meter wide and nearly ten meters long.

Seeing the silver talisman again, and it was as big as seven, Chen Ziyang's confidence suddenly increased. Silver charms are rare, non-Taoist people can't draw them, and these seven charms are so big, it should have taken a lot of effort to make them.

It seems that their fifth grandfather and Liu Cong have worked the Seven Dead Guardian Array over the years, and these huge silver spells should be specially used to deal with the Seven Dead Guardian Array.

After scanning the seven charms one by one, Chen Ziyang found that these charms seemed to be incomplete, and the rune patterns drawn on each charm disappeared to the edge of the charm, as if a part was missing.

Although these seven huge silver charms were placed separately, after reading the patterns above, Chen Ziyang estimated that if these seven charms were put together, the patterns on them should be able to converge into a complete rune, and it seemed that these seven charms should also be seven in one.

"This is the research result we have achieved over the years, these seven silver spells are the foundation of the Seven Stars Array, as long as there are seven Taoist heirs with high mana power to control them at the same time, you can arrange the Seven Stars Formation of the Taoist, and use the Seven Stars to fight against the Seven Martyrs, and you should be able to crack the Seven Martyrs Guardian Array."

"It takes seven people!" Hearing this, Chen Ziyang thought of a question. At the time of departure, the Seven Divisions of Maoshan gathered, and there was no problem in controlling the Seven Star Array, but now that Fang Zheng was dead, what could he do? Then he turned his gaze to Dao Gu.

Liu Cong walked in front of Xu Xiaoyuan and said to her: "Dao Gu of Elimination Yuan, Fang Zheng is dead, now there are only six people left in the Seventh Division of Maoshan Mountain, it is impossible to control the Seven Star Array, your mana is not low, and now you can only be allowed to go up, fortunately, you are here, otherwise this time we will really return in vain." ”

Hearing Liu Cong's words, Xu Xiaoyuan frowned, she secretly looked in the direction of Jada, revealing a look of wanting to say something.

"Apprentice, don't worry, today the two of us will go into battle together, I want to see what is so powerful about this Seven Martyrs Guardian Array." Jada patted his fat belly and said.
