Chapter Forty-Nine: The Mystery of the Eight Stars
Although Yushan is not very high, it is relatively steep and not easy to climb. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info And now, not only are the flowers falling, but also the wind is blowing, Li Xuyang is wondering if Lu Tianhong is deliberately fixing himself.
Lu Tianhong asked Li Xuyang for a glow stick, then broke it, and then inserted it on the mountain. As the glow stick lights up, it illuminates the surroundings brightly.
He looked up at the Jade Mountain, and could only see six or seven meters above the Jade Mountain, and beyond that, it was dark.
After looking up, Lu Tianhong squatted down again, and then dug the snow at the foot of the mountain with his bare hands. Li Xuyang and the others were confused, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was buried in this Lu Tianhong gourd.
Lu Tianhong was digging the snow with his bare hands, and Ah Li was also helping to use his own forelimbs to keep shaving the snow.
After about a few minutes, Lu Tianhong stood up, and then moved his somewhat numb legs and said, "Okay, dig it out." ”
After hearing what he said, Li Xuyang and Jiang Botong hurriedly leaned over to look. They thought they had dug up the scroll hidden here, but when they looked at it, they realized that it was just a wooden stake.
And there is a rope wrapped around the stake, but where the other end of the rope is, Li Xuyang and Jiang Botong don't know.
After Lu Tianhong finished the activity, he put his hand in the deep snow of the mountain, and after groping for a while, he said happily, "I found it." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, his hand slowly pulled out of it, and there was an extra piece of rope in his hand, but the lower end of the rope was connected to the stake. He shook the rope suddenly, and then hurried away, seeing where he had left when he ran away.
Before Li Xuyang and Jiang Botong could figure out what was going on, they were smashed by the falling snow above, and the two looked at Lu Tianhong angrily. And the latter just smiled slightly, and asked innocently, "Why don't you run?"
Li Xuyang and Jiang Botong were so angry with him that they didn't even bother to speak, they were originally cold, but now a lot of snow has entered their clothes, and they are even more shivering from the cold, where do they have the strength to quarrel with him.
"Follow the rope up until you reach the end of the rope, where there is a very narrow mountain path, and you can follow the mountain path all the way, but remember not to turn back. Once you turn back, there is no way ahead, and when you reach the end, you will be able to find the scroll. Lu Tianhong pointed to the top and said.
"Why can't you turn back?" After cleaning up the snow on his body, Jiang Botong sneezed a few times, and after listening to Lu Tianhong's words, he asked him.
"Because it's a formation, don't look back, otherwise you can only wait another year to find the painting scroll, the Dao Sheji map. Lu Tianhong advised.
"Array?" After Jiang Botong heard this, his brain was also spinning rapidly, what kind of array is this, how can he have this ability.
"Yes, the Eight Stars Blur. ”
"Eight-Star Blur Formation?" Jiang Botong hadn't heard of this name, but he knew that the Seven-Star Blur Array, this formation was created based on his ancestor Jiang Ziya's view of the heavenly phenomena.
The seven stars correspond to the Big Dipper, each star represents a point, and when the seven stars appear in the sky, the corresponding seven points will appear in the array. When the seven points are lit up at the same time, everything in the array will show all kinds of illusions, making people disoriented and unable to get out of the array.
And the Eight Stars Blur Formation, he was a little confused.
"The Eight-Star Blur Array is a more clever and easily lost formation created based on the foundation of the Seven-Star Blur Array, which not only joins the constellation Ursa Minor, but also incorporates the eight directions of the Bagua. And it has also changed from seven azimuth points to eight azimuth points, so it is easier to get lost and have illusions. Lu Tianhong explained.
"I see. Jiang Botong nodded in realization. Whether it is an eight-star blur array or a seven-star blur array, there is no way to crack it, and it can also be said that it cannot be artificially cracked. The only thing that can be cracked is time, waiting for the Big Dipper in the sky to disappear.
"But tonight, the snow in the sky is so big, and there is not a single star in the sky, how can this formation be activated?" Jiang Botong asked incomprehensibly.
"Yes, that's the difference between seven stars and eight stars. The seven stars are completely dependent on the Big Dipper, while the eight stars are the opposite. It can only be displayed by relying on the eight stars that are checked by the gossip, not by the eight stars comparing the eight trigrams, understand?"
"That is to say, whether it is cloudy or sunny, this formation will always exist?" Jiang Botong still asked.
"Yes, unless this mountain becomes flat, this formation will not be forced. After Lu Tianhong finished speaking, he stopped Jiang Botong from continuing to ask. "Go quickly, if it's too late, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back." ”
"Okay then! Take care. After Li Xuyang and Lu Tianhong said goodbye briefly, they grabbed the rope, tried it, and began to climb up.
Then Jiang Botong and Ling'er also followed closely and began to climb up the Jade Mountain.
The higher you go, the colder it gets. Li Xuyang's lips are a little purple now, but he still persists. The gloves on his hands were also frozen. Jiang Botong below is no exception, and he is not much better than him.
On the other hand, Ling'er below has nothing to do at all. As they climbed up, she herself followed, and the speed was getting slower and slower.
"Wait a minute. Li Xuyang shouted on the mountain, and then found a place where he could stand, holding the rope firmly with one hand to prevent himself from falling. The other hand took out a glow stick from his pocket, brightened it with his hand and mouth, and then put it in his mouth and continued to climb up.
He could only climb up, not stop, or their clothes would freeze together with the rope from the cold. Even though they were out of breath, they were still holding on.
I have been climbing for half an hour, but I have not found the narrow road that Lu Tianhong said. And this rope is also like there is no end, I was afraid for so long, and I didn't see the other end of the rope.
I insisted on climbing for nearly twenty minutes before I felt that the rope was not shaking so violently, which proved that it was coming to an end.
"See. ”
Li Xuyang firmly grasped the rope with both hands, and crossed his legs around the rope, for fear that he would fall.
"See... When you see it, you go up quickly. Jiang Botong gasped and struggled to speak.
After seeing the path Lu Tianhong said, Li Xuyang hurriedly walked up. The road is really narrow, with mountains on one side and nothing on the other.
Li Xuyang groped on the wall and found a rope, with which he was safer. There is a lot of snow on the road, and if you are not careful, you will slide directly and fall.
After Li Xuyang walked forward for a while, he wanted to look back at Jiang Botong and see if they had followed, but he suddenly remembered Lu Tianhong's words, so he could only shout "Jiang Botong, Ling'er." ”
After he shouted, he didn't get a response for a long time, and he began to panic a little. Even if you fall, you will scream, but why is it so quiet behind you?
Since you can't turn back, then go back, this should be fine, right? Li Xuyang thought about retreating, but a hand behind him suddenly put it on his shoulder, and his body trembled suddenly.
"Don't look back, keep moving forward, Ling'er and I are fine. ”
Hearing Jiang Botong's words, Li Xuyang nodded, then illuminated the front with a glow stick and walked slowly.
"Li Xuyang. ”
Just after walking a few steps, Li Xuyang heard Ling'er calling him behind him, so he didn't look back and asked, "What's wrong?"
But after not hearing Ling'er's answer, he stopped and repeated again, but he still didn't get an answer.
"Ling'er, Jiang Botong, are you there?" Li Xuyang didn't dare to look back, so he could only stand there and ask.
"Let's go! ”
After waiting for another two minutes, Jiang Botong's voice came. After hearing Jiang Botong's voice, Li Xuyang was relieved, and asked, "Ling'er called me just now, what's wrong with her?"
"She's fine, don't worry!"
"That's good. Hearing Jiang Botong's answer, Li Xuyang was relieved, and continued to walk forward.
The road was originally a narrow path, and they didn't even know where it led. But Li Xuyang feels that this road should go around Yushan, that is to say, from this side of the mountain to the other side, you may be able to find the social map.
After walking for about ten minutes, the road ahead was completely cut off. And the rope on the mountain, even if it is gone, Li Xuyang looked down at the bottom of the mountain in Heibu Longdong, and a feeling of being deceived spontaneously arose.
"This bastard lied to me. Jiang Botong, we were deceived, there is nothing here. Li Xuyang wanted to tell Jiang Botong behind him, but he didn't turn around to look. Thinking that he had been deceived, he no longer believed that he would be lost, so he turned around and saw that there was nothing behind him.
Some were just a little bit of snow falling from above after the wind blew, and Jiang Botong and Ling'er were not behind him at all.
When he saw that there was nothing behind him, Li Xuyang had goosebumps all over his body.
"How could there be no one? Who touched him just now? And the conversation with himself?" Li Xuyang stood there dumbfounded, he couldn't figure out what was going on.
And more than twenty minutes ago, Li Xuyang put the light stick into his arms because he wanted to go on the path, and all the light was hidden. And Jiang Botong and Ling'er in the back didn't see Li Xuyang, they walked to the right, but after they went up, they walked to the left.
After Jiang Botong walked on the path on the left, he thought about Li Xuyang, seeing that he was walking so fast, he left them.
didn't know that they and Li Xuyang took the opposite route, and the two sides were standing on one side of the mountain and the other side of the mountain were just opposite each other.
And when Jiang Botong and Ling'er came to the end, they still didn't find out where Li Xuyang was, and then they realized that it was not good.
