Chapter 141: Eightfold Bagua Array
The two of them had no choice but to follow them to the next place, through the two-wide passage, into a larger space.
The strange thing is that around this underground cavity, there are eight copper doors, and the copper door is also carved with eight kinds of hexagrams, which is actually another Bagua array!
There were still about thirty tomb robbers in the cave, and when the leader saw someone coming, he raised his feet to greet him: "Mr. Li, there is another gossip array here, which is different from what I said before." ”
The tall thin man known as Mr. Li nodded: "That's why I'm here for this, and this is also the case behind other bronze gates, it seems that this is not a simple eight-array diagram, it should be evolved from the sixty-four hexagrams of Fuxi." ”
Mu Yi's heart moved, he had heard Xiaowen talk about the sixty-four trigrams, which were formed by the superposition of the two pairs of gossip inside and outside, and the situation here was indeed somewhat similar.
"Then we'll all listen to Mr. Li. The leader's triangular eye was very respectful of the tall and thin man in front of him, and immediately relinquished the command of the team.
"There's no other way, go to a few people at each door, try your luck. The tall and thin man said disappreciatively.
This is tantamount to a blind man touching an elephant - completely blindfolded, these tomb robbers did not know that they were cannon fodder before they came in, and now when the thin and tall man said this, they all understood a little, and hesitated not to come forward.
Lin Zi leaned beside Mu Yi and whispered: "Brother Mu, what should I do, it is estimated that there are seven dead ends here, one way to live, and the chance of surviving is only one in seven." ”
Mu Yi looked at the hexagrams carved on the copper doors around him, and suddenly remembered that the gossip that Xiaowen said was evolved from the four elephants, among which Kun Gen returned to Taiyin, this place is from the outside to the inside, and the gossip is connected to the gossip, which is somewhat like the evolution of the hexagram.
Mu Yi was thinking about it here, and there were already undetermined tomb robbers who had the intention of escaping, and his footsteps gradually moved towards the secret passage when he entered, and the thin and tall man didn't look at it, and as soon as his right hand was raised, the person's body stiffened and fell.
"And there are those who want to run away, just like him. The tall and thin man sneered, "Don't forget the promise I made to you before, if anyone can come out with the contents of the tomb, they can go back to the United States with us, and the dollars and gold bars are piled up outside." Whether you want to run away and find death or make a fortune is up to you. ”
"Fight. "There was money as bait, and immediately someone responded and stood in front of a bronze door.
Mu Yi saw that there was no way to avoid it, and hurriedly pulled Lin Zi to stand in front of Gen Hexagram's door, he felt that this place was probably the right route, and it would be troublesome if someone else preempted it.
With Mu Yi and the others taking the lead, the rest of the people also gathered in front of the eight bronze doors in twos and threes, and pushed the doors open the cracks together.
The one who escaped into the secret passage of the Gen hexagram with Mu Yi was also two tomb robbers. The four of them held steel guns and walked cautiously forward.
"Be careful. Mu Yi felt that a few things were rushing towards them, and hurriedly reminded everyone, then picked up the submachine gun he picked up and fired at the front.
He had never used a gun before, he only knew how to pull the trigger on the target, and nothing else. Fortunately, this gun was used by the dead tomb robbers before, and the safety had been opened, and the muzzle of the gun quickly spewed out a fiery snake and shot at the monster that appeared in front of it.
"Squat!" Lin Zi was trained by these people and knew some simple tactics, so he pulled Mu Yi to squat down in the front row and gave the two people in the back room to shoot. The four of them were two in front of each other, and the four fiery snakes kept licking the monsters that rushed over, shooting a wall of corpses in front of them.
"Click," the bullets of the rush/front/gun ran out, Mu Yi was stunned, Lin Zi immediately handed him the gun in his hand, took his gun without bullets and began to load. Except for Mu Yi, the other three were all trained, and their cooperation was not bad, and after about seven or eight minutes, they finally couldn't see any new monsters rushing up.
Lin Zi wiped his sweat and kicked away the monsters in front of him and piled them into a new room, which made him collapse to find that there were eight more bronze doors around it, only smaller.
"What are these things," scolded a man with five big and three thick, "there are only four of us left, how can we divide the eight doors?" ”
"Why don't we quit first and ask that Mr. Li what to do?" Mu Yi reminded.
"Yes, yes, go out and ask first. Several people said in unison, turned around and walked towards the passage from which they came.
"When did a door fall here. Lin Zi, who took the lead, shouted in horror, and at some point, a copper door fell from the entrance of this room, completely blocking several people inside!
"It seems that the designers of this tomb wanted us to keep going. Mu Yi kicked away a monster that stood in his way, and suddenly found that this monster was not the same as what he had seen before, and he was actually wearing clothes.
"You look at this zombie, it doesn't look like it was a thousand years ago. Mu Yi squatted down and beckoned a few people to come and see.
Everyone came forward to watch, and sure enough, they saw that this monster known as a zombie was wearing a popular green military uniform, his face was not dry, and a Luoyang shovel and a ball of rope were exposed in the bag on his back.
"I see, he's a grave robber too. Lin Zi took a breath of cold air, "People who can't get out will become ghosts here, helping the tomb owner guard the tomb!"
Mu Yi nodded with difficulty, only this explained, in fact, these zombie-like monsters were formed later, the designer of this mausoleum mausoleum is really ingenious, and even the tomb robbers are used to guard the spirit.
"I remember, I heard that Mr. Li say that this is a corpse breeding field! can turn dead people into zombies. A skinny grave robber cried out in horror, "What are we going to do, what are we going to do!"
"What else can I do, I can only move on. Mu Yi said calmly, "Now there are two choices, one is to choose a passage for each person, so that the probability of someone surviving will be greater, at least half." The second is to walk a passage together, so that they can take care of each other, but the probability of going out is only one in eight, how do you choose. ”
"Let's go together, if you want to die, you will die together. Others have gone out, but I am dying here, and it is a nest to think about. The five big and three rough men hummed.
The thin man also immediately agreed, Lin Zi was originally with Mu Yi, so it was needless to say.
Mu Yi chuckled: "Okay, I've also learned some Zhou Yi gossip since I was a child, maybe I can solve the puzzle of this ancient tomb, if you can trust me, follow me, if you can't trust me, just find your own way." ”
The two didn't even know what was engraved on the door, so they could only choose to believe him. Mu Yi recalled the order of evolution of the gossip that Xiaowen said, Kun Gong merged into Taiyin, and Taiyin and Shaoyang merged into Yin, so the following should be the hexagram corresponding to Shaoyang.
Shaoyang is composed of two hexagrams, Kan is water and Xun is wind. The five elements are water, Xun is wood, and aquatic wood, Mu Yi concluded that he should go to the hexagram first, so he took the three of them to the bronze gate engraved with the hexagram.
Passing through the passage, the three of them arrived at a new space, and sure enough, there were eight bronze doors around them. There were only three humanoid monsters here, and they were quickly shot down.
Coming down again, the four of them walked down the Xun hexagram again, there were no monsters formed in this space, only two corpses with a tendency to change corpses, Mu Yi gave each corpse a shot to the head, so as not to turn into monsters again after a while.
Walking here, Mu Yi was a little difficult, according to the evolution of the hexagram, the four hexagrams that he had walked through became yin, but the yang in the two hexagrams was composed of the other four hexagrams, that is, he had to determine the order of the remaining four hexagrams, otherwise he would be trapped in the tomb.
Yang is composed of the sun and the two images of the less yin, the five elements of the sun are fire, and the less yin is gold. Fire and gold is the relationship between each other, in the five elements, gold gives birth to water (Taiyin), water produces wood (Shaoyang), wood makes fire, plus fire and gold, it is really a small cycle of the four elephants, but it is not easy to say where this small cycle starts and ends.
Mu Yi thought about it for a long time without an eyebrow, and finally decided to consider it from the five elements of the hexagram inside the sun and Shaoyin, the five elements of the sun and the two hexagrams are gold, which is not very easy to do, so he had to consider the hexagram of Shaoyin first, the separation of Shaoyin is fire, the shock is wood, and the wood makes fire, and the shock hexagram must be given priority to the separation hexagram.
Wood makes fire, and fire overcomes gold. Mu Yi's heart moved, the separation in Shaoyin is fire, and the two hexagrams in the sun are gold, according to this, Shaoyin should be before the sun.
There was no other way, Mu Yi had no choice but to go down, I don't know if it was luck or really right, the four of them passed two more levels and arrived at the door of the seventh level.
I haven't seen a monster or a corpse in the next two levels, and it seems that no one has ever gone so deep before. It's no wonder that there are very few people who rely on crowd tactics to rob tombs, and most of the tomb robbers are a gang of two, one looks at the wind and the other goes down to the tomb, and it is not easy to pass the four levels.
The seventh level here is actually the last choice, as long as this level is chosen correctly, the next level must be the last hexagram. However, the two hexagrams, which are both metallic, really can't be separated.
"Anyway, it's fifty percent sure, so let's give it a try. Mu Yixin was sideways and took the three of them into the passage of the trigram.
As soon as he passed through the passage to the eighth room, Mu Yi felt wrong, there was no longer a copper door in the room, but rows of round holes.
"Not good. Mu Yi's heart flashed, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the bronze door behind him had fallen halfway, and hurriedly grabbed Lin Zi's hair and rolled back into the passage.
All this was just a flash of lightning, the bronze door quickly closed, and the two tomb robbers inside the door slapped the bronze door twice, and there was no sound again.
"What's going on. Lin Zi was frightened, and he asked tremblingly regardless of the pain coming from his scalp.
"If you're wrong, those round holes inside must be used to vent poison gas or conceal weapons. When the bronze door falls, it will be released. Mu Yi took a breath and said, this time it also scared him enough, and in a moment later, they would be buried in the tomb.
"There are a few perverts here. Lin Zi scolded, "In a while, they will become monsters." ”
"That's right," Mu Yi nodded, "If what I expected is right, in a little while, this bronze door will open again, and let the monsters inside go to the previous room to deal with the new tomb robbers." ”
